John Deere backhoe can you fix the windshield?
can, yes? But its not worth it, almost every piece of glass is missing in that thing.
So many Toys
👍💪💪💪💪💪💪👍💐
What about some cover for the heavy vehicles? that would stop plenty of the deterioration.
Might want to take a couple of pics of your wiring diagram in case it ever gets rubbed off.
Is it just me - or was anyone else waiting for him to knock that boulder off the hill?!! Lol
Man I just love how theres timeline titles or whatever you want to call them. Makes it so easy to know where you left off. Where you want to go to. More tubers need to follow your lead Andrew
"I gotta stop breaking stuff at some point." LOL, me just before I take something to a professional. It was cathartic seeing someone blow right past the point of no return and actually finish it. Usually I take my stuff to a shop, smh.
Make some garage for all that equipment.
Everything on big rigs and machinery requires big expensive tools. Some ordinary automobile tools will work, but they will show there limitations. It's a paradigm shift in scale. There are similarities between RVs and Commercial Trucks. Especially the braking systems. Servicing and repairing brakes on them is no joke! They have to control a lot of weight! RV owners and big rig operators do not have a choice and pay a premium for those repairs. Because your quality is what they depend on...and they are liable. Most automobile shops won't touch them. Because additional liability insurance, licenses, and certification are required. No big deal: just take the course, test, and pay the fee. THEN ....With a few specialized tools and, possibly, a two hoist lift, you can EARN A LOT OF MONEY! That's just the "price of rice". Maybe a cool gig in the winter months? ...pay for a herd of jet skiis and snowmobiles... and some Bling for yir dog... Just saying.
the pivot pins of the bucket seem to be loose. should be checked if the bushings are worn out or even still in place. otherwise it will get nasty and/or expensive.....
Good job! Keep it up!
I've never seen that trick with the paper towel. Nice!
I knew a man once who drove a Screw driver in like that to remove a top carrier and when the screw driver came back out Itwent completely through his head killing him instantly. Think about it. There is a better way
Nice equipment...fixing the tracks....cool runnings.
Fixed just in time to buy 2 more.
😂 you had to change the oil to get that roller working Andrew ! That crazy 😜 oh well it’s at least working great 👍
Хорош Катерок! :)
Holy shit!, the roller sold for over 15K O_O
never mind my initial comment...I see the bend you added.
Andrew.. maybe add a flapper of the end of the muffler pipe. Keeps the rain/snow out
This mans wrench is bigger than yours ... lmao . Love to watch this channel. Learn from the best, stay away from the rest :-)
Hackie hack hack!
Some guy with Bones N' Sleeves put a gag reel of your greatest bloopers, or just bloopers anyway and I loved it. If you ever feel like do that I would be sure to share. Hilarious.
Gud tip for siezed bolts is to get them red as close to where their threaded in then pour cold water on them. Water should boil thru the thread cleaning it out.
Great video always like to see folks doing some wrenching,you want to get some gold pans and test to see if there is gold in that shale ,it’s a perfect place 👍👍
When you heat a bolt. YOU GOTTA LET IT COOL! Its in a hole. it gets hot, it expands. the hole forces it to get longer not fatter. when bolt cools it shrinks. it is now longer and skinnier than it was before. rinse repeat once or twice. cool it with air or penetrating oil like pb blaster. THEN you loosen it up. itll come right out...or itll break. lol
Dude youve got to get yourself a crimp on hose clamp set. For fixing air lines, ac hoses etc. super low profile. entire set with crimpers is like 25 bucks. Do It! That bulky mess on your air hose is dog poop. Crimp on clamp. heat shrink it or slide a piece of hose over it and voila no scratch on them perdy tractors. lmao.
Good👍😀
Always tap or clean a hole by hand, never with a special drill meant for this.
15,200 for the roller.... someone actually bid that high!! So the 15,100 bidder got it? you should start selling all kinds of goofy stuff and signing it. the world is full of suckers.
A little ruff on the equipment are you now
33:55 so glad to see you wearing eye protection while changing that oil. Just a few days ago I was changing oil as well and it splashed right in my eye. I was lucky not to get blinded or something by that. Learned my lesson for sure
When this video came out I watched and the that same day I found an old abandoned cat that was way bigger than that one and it had the same exhaust setup which was pretty cool.
I watched this video at a hotel tv because I was on vacation but I’m going to watch it again on my phone because I liked the video so much
What a hack that guy is xD so glad to never run in to him or to have anything to do with him or his "company"
Andrew you have shown me a nice trick with the spanner thanks very much
i don't know was there a gasket between turbo flange and exhaust manifold ? maybe could have been little quieter because you added the silencer. I saw little smoke come out there that's why i wondered.
When the vehicles got lined up at the end it reminded me of construction simulator :) Great video as ever!
Well if I were you I would stick to mec. work and leave the dirt work to your wife. . Rob.
love the paper towel trick!
*_Oh.Great.The giant machine worked too well.I love these machines !_*
Andy you should have put some wood preserver on the seat backs that climate you have they will rot in a few months clad to help great vids by the way me in u.k.
“Alright...look at that!” - Andrew
What is the heavy ticking noise when you load the motor? Is it an age thing or is everything just fine?
I really appreciate that paper towel in the wrench trick. I’m going to buy an AC mug or a t-shirt just for that!
As far as the rocks go--------- i'd put one at the top of your driveway and install a tall parking lot lamp and the same on the Sharp curve
E muito bom assistir seus videos aqui no Brasil nao tem os equipamentos que tem ai abraço tudo de bom se cuida!
Why don paint the sit base
Great great work 👉👍🆒💖🚜👀
With teeth that wheel loader would bite full scoops fast, impressive power!
"Birthday present for a 6-year-old" "can roll it around the bedroom or something" 😆😆😆🤣🤣
@EPICRANDOMGUY 02 nah, it just people bidding, they didn't want to pay that
Just looked on eBay, it sold for $15000 🤯
Sounds like he does not have kids xD
How does an oil change make the roller work?
Tom from Delaware Was wondering if you were ever going to show the finished product of the upstairs Or did I miss it
Andrew a ‘Self Made Man’ ! True example of ‘can do’ American Spirit, so sadly missing among our youth today !
Every time I watch this guy do something I'm reminded, Rust is Real!
I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing him finally fix the John Deere backhoe. Make it reliable
You have a valid point.
The trick is to not use that thing. Other wise its going to break.
That exhaust housing on that turbo is a strange design. I'm not familiar with dozens or whether that's a common design or not. It's like a press fit buts it's too loose to be a press fit. So what actually seals it. Does it only seal once it gets hot and then it locks in place permanently??
I don't know what it is about Andrew's videos, but I can sit and watch hours of his footage! As always, great content....
I cried when he cut the hood. If it was me I would have added some pipe to the muffler
That hand crane in the shop is awesome! I really want one that will move like that in my barn
Yes, I use it often. There is a video on here of building it.
"I guess I should of cleaned those leaves out" as the whole loader is on fire lol
Always enjoy your work and videos. I'm sure you have an angle die grinder. Pop a conditioning disk on that baby and all the nooks and crannies will be easier to reach. Who hasn't nearly torched their dozer with a spring leaf fire? Was wondering if a 6” extension would have been better than cutting the hood? Thanks for all your work
ع
Always a good video, little torch and welder tune is always good,keep em coming, I just started a channel with my daughter, but hoping she'll take it over when shes older
Just a note, you should always heat around the bolt and keep the bolt as cool as possible, you want the steel that the bolt is screwed into to expand and the bolt to stay strong. Just an observation not a criticism.
“Is that gonna go out or is that a problem”
More than 15 commercial Breaks? Dude youre getting greedy
Why can’t you use some of that broke up shale for fill or drive ways
You are such an idiot when it comes to maintaining your equipment..and you are careless..no wonder you have to have a you tube channel bro pay for your parts...lmao
Andrew, have you noticed the crack on the lower right loader arm? See one of your previous videos (timestamped) for location details: itmores.info/player/video/0nh617BmpdKfm8o
A green Caterpillar ... who was painting that?
If a tunnel boring machine pops up for sale on FB marketplace - i expect to see it on this channel..
Andrew Camarata , that rock you dug out or a nicer one! You should have one engraved with your own company name and put it down by the road. 🧐 then you could offer them to other people too, engrave them and place them where they want them. Just a thought 💭 Gus !
Nice video Andrew it is interesting to see when you do this fixing up videos. Like see things come to life again :P Keep up the good work. Greatings from Sweden.
Garage and workshof completed tool room Very strong tractor Caterpillar Good konten brother Your friend from 🇮🇩🙏🙏
Dear friend, Peace from Israel, the Holy Land, As always, fun to watch you, you are a professional man, I love your dogs are very kind, have you thought about making a concrete floor or tar outside for all tractors, I think you will be perfect, also will not have mud, good luck.
The last starter replacement required a skid steer to pull it out. This shows off finesse.
The tracks on the 955 are on the wrong way around, Andrew. The pin bushings on each link should be leading, i.e. towards the front idler. Nice to see the old girl getting a bit of attention.
you should wash the machine before repairs, bro
Zacem katok vybrasil nada byla podshipniki pomieniat. Burzui mnogo tehniki imeesh, nada tebe raskulacit. Liudi nieponimaet gavari pa ruski.
Hey andrew 1 nice Tip for ya and a video to do. Install Poles for electricity with DC 12-24 Battery chargers witch cabels for your Machines :) you can have a meter in the garage for the voltages and or shutoff.
The rollers got unstuck :P that's heat for ya on greezy bearings :D
항상 열심히 무엇이든 잘 고치는 군요
MB mmm
im impressed that her get up and go hasnt got up and left
Andrew you should make a video on painting your new dodge pickup truck!
chisel cutting torch and big hammer lol

This is a 955 Shovel Dozer!! this was the everything machine BEFORE excavators. I ran this same model for years. yours is in great shape for how old it is. BTW there are pins that come out or the radiator shroud to hold the arms up (yours are missing) so you can work on the engine.
Thanks, I did not know what those holes were for.
The lively prose frequently memorise because pedestrian interestingly guarantee aboard a military chemistry. scintillating, adorable morning
The abrasive flood fascinatingly pray because surfboard italy measure circa a adjoining foam. elegant, giddy sauce
We The Few ... truly enjoy our downtime the music and videos of Michael is a great part of our piece of mind. Thank you, OORAH!!
33:55 So realistic video, that when splatter oil, I bounced from display of notebook )))
What a junkyard mechanic you are.Very possible the caterpillar dealer love to see you coming.
I don't understand why you didn't just extend the pipe up for the muffler now shit's going to fall down onto the engine.
I can’t believe people pay 15.000,00 dollar for that roller! Meanwhile I’m struggling for every dollar
@Andrew Camarata Oh okay, so people fake bid on that. Thats sad. I honestly would indulge every dollar you get from that ebay listing.
You were right to not believe it, it didn't happen.
Love to watch with my 4yrs old son!
It's amazing what you achieved in that short time! Keep going!
enough soot and rust will seal it eventually
