  • In this video edited by my dad. He and I go back to the Excavator that fell in the water. Lots of struggles getting it out of its watery grave. We hope to get it started and put track back on. Oh yea and load it self. Thanks for watching and remember "dontbewily"

    On the restart, everyone watching was yelling "you've got a fuel leak" but you didn't hear us. 😀 But what a beautiful sound that was when you got it restarted...she purred like kitten. Nice job!

    Three hours later, I think we need to use a chain to assist in placing the track back together, Wily off to the side, doing the forehead slap. I’m 58 years old, and I still listen when someone’s telling me an easy way of doing it. This was an awesome video.

      Young man hasn't discovered all those old guys bellowing ideas and opinions are only trying to help him. They're job at this point of life is to pass on knowledge. Hope the boy learns that. It took me quite a while, and I was sorely irritated with my uncles that tried to teach me an easier way. Took years , years for me to learn. Now my back, shoulders and hips are shot. All I have left is trying to teach. You ought to see these kids trying to change bearings on a 12 row hay rake....

      The Cummins B Series are unbeatable. Simple design with common parts between the 4 and 6 cylinder models. Pass on alil info, Cummins doesn't use glow plugs. They use a grid heater which works alot like a toaster. It's mounted between the air intake flange and the head. It's about 2" thick. It uses a solenoid and a sensor activated by the key switch. It's bullet proof.

      It is scrap now . Didnt pull engine and disassemble and clean all sand and grit out of it . Take you a bucket of muddy water let it set 2 days dump water out look where all the sludge is at . It all was left inside of engine. They destroyed it . Be like changing old and dump a cup of sand in it .

    Wow. And wow. Wiley you and Jacob and all those other people got it to run and in the end got the track on and put up on the low boy trailer.
    Amazing that engine fired up and ran after the oil change and all the other items that you fixed or cleaned before starting it up. The engine runs real good by the way it sounds.
    Good show everyone!!!!!!!!!
    Amazing to think it was under water and now it is running.
    Super job Wiley. With the proper cleaning and check over it can be a working machine yet.
    Thanks so much Wiley.

    @Toesmack1 Před 2 měsíci

    Looking at the condition of the undercarriage, I would expect the rest of the machine to be in poor condition also. Talk about running it til the wheels fall off! This owner took that expression to heart. Hope you got it bought cheap. Good job of getting it running and mobile again. Loading a dead excavator is more of a challenge than most other dead equipment, and missing a track is surely an extra wrinkle. At least the hydraulic tank stayed above the mud, and normally they are also pressurized which also helps. By the way, a handheld remote starter switch can save you a bunch of money in shampoo!
