Hey guys and how's it going hey, i got a chance to go. Do a little bit of yard sale on this weekend and that's probably only the second or third time this year that i've gotten out and i did fairly well. So i figured i'd, go turn the camera on and we'll go, make a yard, sale, video and maybe we'll run on something towards the end of it. So without further ado, let's get into it and see what we got.

So i guess it worked from right to left and riggs. Five bucks for three rakes ended up getting a red max hedge trimmer gas powered and at a different yard sale. I got another red max backpack leaf blower. As far as the leaf blower goes.

He said that someone was doing work on the property and then left it behind and it sat there ever since, and that was about 15 years ago. He kind of thinks it was left there because it was so trashed. It wasn't worth taking anymore. So, who knows what the issues are with that? I think i paid 10 bucks for it.

It wasn't much. I see wires ripped out of it and you know who knows what's kind of going on with it. So that's going to need some love, whether we look at this one at the end of the video or not, i'm not sure the hedge trimmer, not sure what is happening with that he's got tape around different components and all again it seems like it's something that Was uh left for dead and, if i didn't buy it for five bucks, it was probably gon na get thrown out at the end of the yard sale anyway. So maybe we'll grab one of these too.

To go. Do a little bit of a autopsy and possibly will it run on the end, then i found a antique outboard and it says champion motor company. I don't know if that's champion like in spark plug champion, or is it just another one of the outboard companies that made your outboard companies and then somebody else put their name on it again, no history on it. Who knows he said he bought it at a yard sale a long time ago, and then it hung in his garage for 30 some odd years.

So that's gon na need some love and who knows on that? One we'll probably make that one. A separate video, though, because because they can be a somewhat intense as far as how much work they need, then i grabbed some, not stained glass, but leaded glass panels, there's two of them one with a frame and one without. I just thought they were really cool. They are it's the real deal, they are individual pieces of glass that are leaded into a frame and they were 15 bucks for the set of them.

I'd, say: they're, probably 30, by 50 dimension, wise 30 by 48. Maybe why'd, i grab them. I don't know they. Just look cool.

Let me back up here for a second, then this piece is a vw roof rack, but it is an old-school one. It's an original one, but i don't think volkswagen ever really made a roof. Rack, there's probably an external company that did so, but it is definitely looks like it's from the 60s. I would guess could be even earlier than that.

What's nice about it is it has a tag on it then? Looking later we see a in germany and then it's got a vw logo right there. But again, i don't think the factory of logo made it back to your logo at the factory of vw made it. I think it was an external company in germany, germany, that did that. I'm not sure this came from actually with a couple other pieces i'll show you in a second.

We believe it is a old oil rack. You would put the oil bottles on it and, back in the day, you buy a thing of oil and you dump it in the bottle would return, they would refill it back up. It has some kind of writing on it. I can't tell what it says.

The first word that looks like motors - i don't know what it says on the end company something motors company is my guess. If you guys want to freeze that and figure out what it is, let me flip it over. I think, there's some writing. On the other side too - and i actually got this thrown in that's what it was i got this thrown in with the vw rack, the rack i paid up for pretty good.

I paid you wanted 350. I offered two. I said. 350 is kind of getting steep on it.

He came back with 250 and i said how about 250 and you throw this in. So i paid 250 for the rack and this beast right here so again, i'm not sure what that first word is. If you could figure it out, the outboard was, i think it was 20 bucks. The i don't know if i said earlier, hedge trimmer was five and i think the backpack blower was 10.

and then we got these guys all right before we get to them hold on here we go scope down. Here, got a couple of uh memorabilia plaques. They are for when you joined aaa. I think it was the 60s also, and you would put these on your license plate even meant that you were a member of triple a a lot of times like.

I have one that's on actually on the back of krusty and it will give the town that you're in this one doesn't seem to say that just says triple a actually is a l a what is a l, a automotive legal association, i'm not quite sure the Other one, i think, is just triple a that i have on the back of there we'll grab the set of those in at the same place same pick. Was this funky stoplight that says: stop on it, i'm figuring that's off a school bus. It has that kind of look to it all right. These guys both came from the same place.

There are a couple of ready pedal cars. You kind of face on them, don't they they collected the same body of pedal car and then they kind of switched it around. Of course, this one is a fire engine and then the other one looks like it's that dump truck it has a little bed set up that went into the back of them from here city fire department. That one says - and this one says, dump truck jet flow drive heavy duty.

The wheels are pretty beat on all metal, they definitely sat out in the yard somewhere, i kind of actually like it. I like the beat up rustiness look to them. They would actually probably look pretty good on the rack in going to a show. This was a kids electric, scooter or trike.

It is battery powered again i just like the look of it and uh grabbed this. It was cheap, 5-10 bucks. I think it was. I just thought it was cool.

Looking those were 30 apiece, they were asking i offered 50 for the pair. He said no problem, that's all those and the rack came from the same location. So first i bought those. Then i bought another piece that you haven't seen yet and then we walked to another house.

After asking, do you have any other automotive stuff around? You came up with that and the rack at a different house about two houses away that he also owned up inside the attic of the barn, so that was pretty cool uh. We got some fishing poles. I think they're 20 bucks a piece. You know what they're for self-explanatory these were thrown in with those pieces over there, the al-a decals and the stop light were.

These are just the chrome pieces that go around with fenders are to block them front and rear. So these it just goes on the end of the fenders of the running board to spiff up the look of the beetle and they were thrown in. This is a backpack. This is going to go in a different video i'll grab this later on for a trailer project, and then i grab this hood.

This hood was also the same place where the roof rack was. It was up in the uh actually in the shed out back. That was rotten falling apart, the hood is kind of beat. I don't think it would ever go on a car again, it's all rotted out on the edges, but the hood ornament just looked really cool on it.

A little missile set up on there and then the globe on the front with the oldsmobile written on it. So i may keep those. I may just also take the whole hood at my house and put it above the garage door, the little side entry door and see if we use it for, like a weather shed on there, you can see the the corners are just blown out on it. They're just gone: there's really nothing left sat on the ground way too long.

Oh, it's cool! Looking again uh the hood was 30 bucks. Essentially i paid 30 bucks for that funky hood ornament and the one on the front of it. I like it all right. Did we cover everything now? Maybe we can go get into a little bit closer uh analysis on something: let's go see what the hedge trimmer has to offer.

I don't know why it has a rope on it. Maybe if uh you were climbing up a ladder, you would tie that to your belt or something i know they do that with chainsaws see tape on the handle holding that together here it definitely looks like it's seen some work in its life. Let's see if we can figure out how to get that in of ice and suck it into it. Let's give a couple of tugs seems like a decent compression.

Let's get the plug out of it and uh we'll see if it has any spark yeah. That's pretty pretty carbon built up see if it has any spark, though we need to be able to ground it on something, though that is metal, maybe that screw right there and that's on we get oh yeah. Let's go clean that plug up a little bit. We'll put a little dribble of fuel in there give it a fire over see what she does.

Let's go give her a little. That might be a little too much. Choke is in the open position right now and let's just see what we get we'll give her. Give her some throttle too we're also going to look at if you can see it yeah, let's see what these guys do, also oops, so i think it'll run again that didn't move at all, but uh, that's okay! For now, we didn't get any revs out of it.

Neither generally there's a clutch down below. You have to spin it up to a certain rpm plus. These look like they are really gummed up, we'll spray them down with some some oil of some sort, free them up. So we get for an air cleaner.

I doubt very much that we're just gon na be able to fuel in it and have it run and what your opinion is of that we could try it. I have a feeling we are going to have issues with the diaphragm in the carburetor being petrified rock. Let's go: take a look inside see, we've got we'll give a little tug on the fuel lines a lot of times they rot out too. I'm just looking down inside the the jug there we're just trying to see if um they break off or if they're, okay and it's looking pretty pretty squishy right there.

You want dry dumps, i'm fueling it and just give her a couple of primes. I know we're going to dig into the carb anyway, but yeah. Let's go put some gas in and see we get. If you guys watch uh terrell's video of what ethanol fuel does to carburetors over time.

I think it's about two weeks old right now, good video! You did uh, it goes over 19 months, a bunch of different fuel additives to fuel with ethanol in it, and also used just gas by itself with no ethanol in it. Can you guess what the outcome of it was? Definitely the all the additives for the most part didn't do much of anything. They all failed over time and the fuel that was just straight gas, which i think was. I think it was a pre-mix like this in a can with no ethanol fuel is what held up the best and continued to work all right.

We got choke on okay, i have a primer bulb on this one. Some do some, don't it is it's on the side right here you got fuel going around and again usually what happens is especially if you run ethanol fuel there's a diaphragm inside the carburetor that needs to be able to flex and move kind of works like a Float ball float chamber, but it ends up getting so stiff. It doesn't move anymore and i have a feeling we'll probably be getting into that. But let's give her see what we get wants to go.

Let's get a little bit of air. It doesn't work, though, make a liar out of me huh. I did not expect it to go off and take off again sometimes like. If this was this stuff is a little on the better end, it's kind of like what a landscaper would use.

What i mean in japan instead of china, it's a better quality piece of equipment, so landscapers pretty much have the answer. Oh, i shouldn't say that landscapers have the wherewithal to kind of watch what they run for their fuel, a lot of times, they're able to get non-ethanol fuel and they mix their own. So that might have been a saving grace of that we get the throttle hooked up again and we go pop. You back and stand we'll fire it up again and it will spray some lube on the bar.

That's what you use on a chainsaw, i'm gon na put it on here. I figure it's the same idea almost right, just let that kind of soak in all right. Let's fire it up again. Let's do our thing.

Hopefully no joke! That's right! No! Joke! Wow! That's a good final purchase, i'd, say: huh, it's pretty good! It's good because that's! This is the one i need. I have to work around the house to go. Take care of you go clean that air cleaner, real, quick, we'll throw that back on there. I am not going to pull that carburetor apart because it doesn't hesitate, it doesn't bog.

I ain't going to leave well enough alone. Now, if i said it was going to run fine, it wouldn't have right. Look at all that pop back on there. I think we're going to go call this one a win just like it is really nothing to adjust really on this fairly simple.

Maybe we could flip it over we'll pop that um, we'll pop the bottom of that little gear box off we'll see what's in there, how that works and we'll go from there yeah the clutch would be up inside this, but this would just be like a uh Offset or a knuckle or crankshaft turns circular motion into a reciprocal. I'm curious to see what it looks like. Let's see what we get yeah, it's a little tiny crankshaft and a big old dauber of grease. That's supposed to keep everything packed in that actually looks pretty good.

Let me uh, i don't want to start of this. Maybe we'll give her a couple of cranks. Actually, it's not going to turn because it's got to have some higher rpm to be able to do so. Yeah, it's not going to work for us, but essentially the clutch looks like a mini bike, clutch or chainsaw clutch grabs on the other side.

That has an output of that gear looks like it runs another gear behind and then spins that a little bit of motion out of it, which turns the crankshaft and i'm blocking it with my hand when i'm there you go see the motion that it does uh. Oh, no, i did it now. You're gon na see more of it. That's connecting rod and uh whatever we just flung off.

Of that i got ta, go, get and put back on, might be able to see it a little bit better and i got one of them removed. You see, there's a lower and upper, so i've had it before where one just stays stationary and the other one moves. This one appears that both of them, you got ta turn it both of them turn opposite of each other right now, they're fixed, but see how this one can move by itself and then the one underneath it turns. Probably so it doesn't shake it out of your hand right, because you figure, if you're up against a brush, you kind of want to work like a pair of scissors when you're working a pair of scissors, both blades are moving, not just the one when you're cutting Something so you kind of stay in the middle of it.

You know what i mean: okay right, i'm gon na take a minute. My greasy fingers put that back together. Gon na leave it packed just like it was just throw those screws right back in really pretty simple machine. Let's tighten that plug up did clean it by the way does not have a very good base for clamping.

Let's go fire it up. One more time just make sure she's doing what she should no choke. Even the mix sounds pretty good too a little on the rich side, which is what you want on the sea stroke run them lean. They'll burn up we're going to call that one, a win.

We're just going to leave it well enough low, go clean it up and uh we'll do some hedges all right! Next patient! Let's go see what makes this thing tick and have a little fun with it. I have no idea, we figured it's got a battery in it somewhere. That was a charger for it and we think somewhere back here would be a way to access said battery. What does that do? Look, i'm getting kind of personal with it looks like it should.

Just flip open, i want to break, it might be a screw right there. It actually kind of looks like i took a peek behind here. There's nothing, there's no opening back there. So i don't know here we go.

Would you do line batteries up in that huh? Back up a little bit get the whole thing in green wan na go see, there's no batteries in it a couple of wires, a fuse, there's a motor and a gear back there. Let's go get like a 12-volt battery, we'll hook power to it, see what it does, and this guy should do it. I don't know about polarity. We're gon na go red to red, but usually you see a fuse on the on the hot side should be that side.

I don't know we're gon na wing it. I guess it'll just spin the wheels backwards. Please give her a little nothing. I wonder: if is there any button you got to hit to make it go other than that, or does that even make it go? Ah, the pedal and it's going backwards, is there backwards and forwards? Let's go swap them around kind of like what i figured the fuse is on the hot side.

Right make sure it goes forward. You see how many volts you think it is. That's 12. you'll see what 24 does all right, so we got the ground there and the hot there now we're going to hook the ground to the battery up to the hot there.

That should be 24 volts. You think the shifter does pull in reverse. Let's go! Try it there you go, so it was right to begin with at what point at what voltage do you think it fails? Smoke comes out. Try that 36 volts, don't let those two touch go.

Well, that's what all we got. She did something if we probably glue a fuse, maybe yeah, probably pop the fuse, got ta know when your limits are right. Let's just do this stinking fuse come back nope, i smoked it. You just had to take it to the limit.

Didn't you yeah, i hooked power right to the motor and the motor's not doing anything. Now. Oh well still looks cool well guys, just a quick little video of the yard sale stuff, and you know we did a a little will it run. It was kind of easy we didn't have to do anything to it, other than put gas in it essentially and uh, except some point we'll get to these other ones.

I got a couple of outboards to go attack and uh, we'll do them on a separate date and the backpack blower definitely looks like it needs a bunch of love. I think that one's gon na be a little bit more intense i'll, probably do that one, maybe on a separate video too, but for now, let's give this a little quickie video we'll throw this one up, probably in the middle of the week, and leave the longer Wrenching videos for the weekend, these are pretty cool. I've never seen a dump truck set up one before fire trucks, yeah that was really common. I was a kid growing up.

It would've had ladders on the side of it. I would think that let's go see what roughly put the tailgate to it too, so that would lock in those pins when it's bent out straight sits there probably had a lever that went up front. That's probably what that lever. Is there poor tilt that dumped the bed got neat graphics on it? That's pretty cool.

It looks like a bunch of the pieces that would have. You could tell what's missing, it'd still be the windshield, and i don't know if the fire truck would have had a bell on it. Maybe they had something else on the front of it again, they look pretty cool. My thought is either just use them as yard art or maybe we'll make them into something they're pretty rough to restore.

You know, i don't know what the value of them is, but they're definitely different. All the tires are gone. Rotted right off the rims are rotted out sounds sad outside some place for a long time. Where do you think that went on the inside of the outside there's a hole there a hole there, so my guess left-handed or right-handed and that lever? I don't know if you can see it.

These rivets are all gone on the side, but that would connect there. I guess the lever would hang off to the side or would have been right here. On this end, you would hit that that would allow it to dump pretty cool that face hi guys, i'm done playing for today anyway, we'll do it again soon take care later and back behind my bus. This is what i was thinking.

It was was the aaa one. I said the ala i haven't seen them before. That's pretty cool, we'll throw this one. On the other side, maybe.
