Love the “classic tried and true” method of hooking your trailer to the hitch by excavator counter balance. Hold my beer level 4. Great video as always.
I never realized how electric trailer brakes worked; very interesting! I was expecting the torch on that stubborn bolt but you chose the cutting disk - well played! It was great to see Levi, too!
I wondered how those work all the time too. You very rarely find them here in Europe, I only once have seen some advertising for them from a Dutch company. I am not even sure if they were not street legal here or just not common. About every trailer over 750 kg here has surge brakes (mostly mechanical, some larger ones hydraulic). Or depending on size you will find air brakes.
All 3 of the boy's in one video! My heart jumped when I saw Levi! Blue is a great addition and Cody is young enough to keep him out of trouble, besides not staying out of trouble himself! Amazed he lets you get down to grade level without giving you a lab wash! That boy can run! No doubt about your skill sets your amazing!
I really appreciate that you aren't in a hurry with your videos Andrew. It's nice to get the the problem, corrective action, and final conclusion in one video even if it takes a year.
@@georgekaritzis2374 Some get to me more than others. The last few months Levi lived you could tell every step was painful. I hated to see him go but when Andrew made the announcment that he was gone, I was sad but glad as well because I new his pain was gone.❤
@@raywilson800 It must have been very hard to make that choice for Andrew . I know when i had to do the same ... It was one of the saddest days of my life !
Great to see Andrew C breaking out the fine adjustment tools! And lovely to see Levi the late great Lab-inspector once again… 18:12 And yet he is so delicate in some operations.
I've not seen anyone use a chain hoist and overhead crane since the 1960s. I love the way you do some things the old fashioned way. I'm glad you explained that you tightened the hubs where there is no play in them. When I was a young man, I never knew how much to tighten wheel bearings. Some said to allow a little play and some said no play. The argument for a little play was that, if no play, the bearings would be too tight and wear out too fast. However, no play always made more sense to me. Another thing is I was told to always repack wheel bearings after removing them. That never made sense either unless there was a need to inspect the balls and races for wear. We inspected one trailer and found the bearings totally worn and in need of replacement. Looks like you could inspect them without totally removing all grease, though. I never tried that. Repacking is messy but sometimes necessary.
Reverse threads, commonly on the “passenger” side, were intended to work to “tighten” or keep tight the lug nuts based on the primary thrust direction. Chrysler had them for many years, as did other car truck and trailer manufacturers.
I worked at a flatbed trailer plant in the late 70s, For disc wheels. Left side had Left hand inner and outer wheel nuts, right side had right hand. (left being Driver). I think the "rims" that mounted to the Hub and drum all were right hand .
Great video. Nice to see Levi. I bet that one bushing that was being stubborn is going to be a pain next time Andrew has to replace bushings. Based on how stubborn it was going in with the new bushing.
Andrew, I have an older brother, where he didn't teach stuff, I LEARNED things from him like music, only useless stuff. But U r that brother that has the time and willingness to teach the siblings, thank you for being that person.
I enjoy watching all the maintenance you do Andrew. I know so many people with 6 year old vehicles that are junk. They do nothing. But I'm driving around an 03 dodge ram that I maintain. Granted I'm on 2nd engine, that I put in but, yeah. Thanks for sharing with us all to enjoy.
I drive a '91 w250 with the 12v Cummins. Replaced the thrust bearing last fall when the trans was out for a rebuild. Over 400k on it and still ticking. Don't ever buy a 12v or you'll be hooked for life. Lol.
Great video Andrew. I've never seen electronic trailer brakes before as I'm British. Very simplistic design and application. Love you Levi, never forgotten RIP 🐕
Howdy Andrew!! Good to see Levi again......he will always be a star 🌟 to us!! Never would have thought about the brakes seating and in general breaking in!! Good tip! 👌 Thanks for all ya do! I guess this video was in storage for a while..... glad ya found it and posted it!! Thanks!! Rick
Great episode! I've got a trailer similar to yours that I use to haul apples on. I was so surprised to see Levi! At first I thought that Cody was looking very mature for his age😉
Andrew, I really enjoyed your use of time in this video. You told a very cogent story about this trailer in time and place. I wanted to see the property again, thank you!
A nice way to start the day- with a repair and diagnostic video! Good timing too as I will be doing a brake repair or replacement job on my car trailer soon. I like how you test a vehicle on the jack stands by vigorously shaking it. That's how I check. Better to have something fall before you get under it! I once had a home shop but then things in life change. Watching your videos brings back good memories. Looking forward to more videos!
Andrew. I have been watching your videos for a while. i have gone back to your nearlier ones, and your castle build videos. Wow you are amazing at fixing everything. I have learned a lot
Mixed emotions on this one but tells ya how much footage A has with the beloved Levi making an appearance. Thanks for the simple walkthrough of how the electric breaks work.
In Australia they work. With a “gain” control unit (brake controller) that feeds in voltage increase depending on load and road speed etc, you also have a manual control t9 combat high speed trailer sway, or if going off road. Nice to see Levi again 😍
It’s the same here. They have gain settings to compensate for the load and speed. They do have independent trailer brake control too. Now in North America many trucks have the option of factory installed integrated brake control. I’ve one which came from the factory.
PLEASE READ, THANKS. Hi there Andrew, Watching you work is for me, immensely relaxing and entertaining, mainly because I am only 64 and yet my body and sadly my mind are both VERY MUCH trashed, thrashed and crashed. I am in bed a minimum of 22hrs per day, to rest my body. Sadly I only get approximately an hour or two per day when the weather allows me to go for an electric pushbike, ride. fortunately for some reason, I can sit on and pedal pain-free after 5 minutes at the kitchen sink, I am in real pain despite powerful anti-inflammatories and powerful pain meds. I have been hospitalised for months due to a VERY REAL suicide attempt. Other reasons, I enjoy your work is you are self-employed as was I, Also you like me and care about the quality of workmanship you leave behind. Also enjoyed is the calm methodical way you explain what you are doing while you are doing it. THANKS, HEAPS Andrew. BEST WISHES FOR YOUR LIFE AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BODY TO AVOID ENDING UP IN MY SITUATION, EG WHEN LIFTING KEEP A STRAIGHT BACK and USE YOUR LEG MUSCLES TO LIFT THE WEIGHT. ALWAYS CLIMB DOWN FROM ANY HEIGHT. Arthritic knees, back and ankles at only 64 are both EXTREMELY CRUEL and EXTREMELY DEBILTATING, with NEVER ENDING PAIN, DESPITE THOSE MEDICATIONS BEING AT MAXIMUM STRENGTH. SERIOUSLY Andrew, be VERY SCARED of how your body could be when you are an old man, like me.
Just as I was wondering where blue was, boom! A surprise and appreciated Levi sighting! Always happy to see him. On next week’s video, watch Andrew thread a needle with a Caterpillar 6040!
You went from full safety with hardhat and 4 jack stands and tongue jack to flipping it with an excavator. It's nice to know it's not just me that does that.
If you’ve ever flipped a trailer over with 5 or 6 friends, you’ll know that doing it with an excavator is 100% the Safety First method of doing so. I am not being sarcastic when I say that.
@@WildAcresFarms my buddy who once had his shoulder broken from trying to flip a trailer with a bunch of morons would definitely agree with you, and so do I as I witnessed it roll on him from one side myself having decided to stay put seeing the ridiculousness of the procedure even by the military's standard. On the bright side, my buddy now listens to me.
Andrew is the type of mechanic that I wish I was. He just works the problem... doesn't cry like me... Just basically keeps getting a better hammer and works the problem.. I love that.
Nice to see, Levi! I have, had problems with electrical brakes on a RV , many years ago, and btw dealer and myself could not figure , why.After watching this video, it is all made alot simpler for a explanation of why brakes were locking up and not working correctly!Lol!🙂👌 Experience and practice makes it a lot simpler.Great, job using the excavator to flip and right the trailor and place on to the trk hitch!😀 Thanks, Andrew..
I really enjoy watching your videos where you perform maintenance on the equipment. Calms my brain right down. Thanks again Andrew for the great videos!
Another great video from Andrew, showing us all how he keeps all his equipment in tip-top working condition and also how safe his trailers are to tow on the highways and byways in America 🇺🇸, well done Andrew for doing this.
I have a OTC 17 1/2 ton dual cylinder jack that has a 3/4 inch threaded hole that allows you to pull as well as push with it. I have changed a many bushings with it. Everything from semi front spring eyes to walking beam bushings. Love that thing.
When you’re trying to hammer the bushings in you could’ve put the bolt through it which would help prevent any damage to the bushing. But it looks like you got it in anyway
I've been watching this channel for a good while now and I can't help but think with all this equipment you got you don't have a bigger air compressor than that.
Agreed…should have an 80 gallon compressor…especially if running a one inch drive impact…that impact doesn’t have enough air to equal a half inch drive with that little compressor…especially with a reducer…I have 2 80 gallon compressors…a 5 horse gas 20 gallon and a ingersoll rand 14 hp gas 30 gallon compressor in my service truck with a 60 gallon air tank to tie into it if more air is required
When you were pushing the trailer towards your pickup, I was like, "There's no way he can do that with the excavator!" And then you did. You are the Master. PS, Thanks for the memory of your sweet boy Levi.
No one noticed the snow on the ground at 18:30 and a little after while putting air in the trailer tire. Winter coats. Video posted in late August. Thinking this was done a while back. Hope the brakes are working good still. Love your videos and it was great to see Levi again after your loss of him over a year ago. Levi was always there with you and he is missed by us all. Keep them coming.
My wife is still not convinced that we need an excavator even after watching you trailer up with one. Can you please do more funky things with it so my case gets better? Thanks.
We need More videos Andrew...I like the longer ones myself. like when are you going to tell us what you did to your foot and hows the new mountain top retreat roads coming along?
Hi Andrew, I have an answer to your question of right and left reverse thread pitches. With us in France on old trailers the left and right threads were reversed because when driving the wheels do not turn in the same direction, so the nuts were self-tightening with movement on the road, so there was no risk of losing a wheel.Nathanaël from France, yours...
Engineers in the US used to believe the "self-tightening" theory for wheel threads. They abandoned it because it proved to be either false or unnecessary. I only encounter left-handed wheel lug threads on classic or vintage cars.
Thanks for the great video AC.......I guess this was on the to do list with Levi being in it I guess it brought back happy memories although a little upsetting...... I did get a little lump in my throat seeing him what a character.......Stay Safe
Me watching at 30 seconds well he won’t be flipping the trailer over with a piece of equipment in the shop, 15 minutes later the trailer is being flipped outside lol. Got to love it. I think that trailer will outlive us all.
I love how all your videos are so simple. No wacky, annoying intro, no stupid thumbnail, nothing. Literally my favorite channel ever
Ditto that on intros and misleading thumbnails. One of my favorites.
that’s definitely why his channel does as well as it does. that and his knowledge of everything
I agree on that as well, And I believe Andrew is the thumbnail hes just that sorta guy that lots of ppl can get along with.
straight & to the point, sped up in the right places, i even like the re-runs!
Honestly can’t stress this enough. By far my favourite channel. Love everything you’re doing Andrew!
Seeing Levi was totally unexpected! It was a nice brief moment, rest in peace buddy 😔
I know I was like “how old is this video?”
I will admit I was startled to see Levi. Kind of emotional.
Love the “classic tried and true” method of hooking your trailer to the hitch by excavator counter balance. Hold my beer level 4. Great video as always.
That young man has great eye-hand coordination. Hold my other beer. LOL😂
The man has mad skills.
Thought that was the, Ok, now you've pissed me off mode
Would love to see dirt perfect to try that with his trailers one time
@@stevenpittsnogle695 On DP's latest live stream, he was trying to come up with a new challenge. Maybe this is it.
I never realized how electric trailer brakes worked; very interesting! I was expecting the torch on that stubborn bolt but you chose the cutting disk - well played! It was great to see Levi, too!
Levi is at 16:05 in case you missed him
Levi....he's been gone 14 months now. It's great to see him!!!
To quote a great man named Ricky, "it cant be stuck if its liquid"

@@raywilson800 It must have been very hard to make that choice for Andrew . I know when i had to do the same ... It was one of the saddest days of my life !
I think the force applied to the brakes depends on how fast the wheels are spinning. Good to see Levi again.
Was wondering about that.
I guess because they're electromagnet you don't have to worry about heat destroying the magnetism
Levi died several years ago you may have seen Sadie Levi’s mate
@@johnbourgeois1414 At 16:04 Andrew said Levi ?🙂
@@johnbourgeois1414 Definitely Levi. Andrew added an old clip into this video

Good to see ol' Levi. Such a good dog! RIP. Blue is hard at work now!
Blue is up to no good, I can tell in the way he wags his tail... the lil rapscallion.
Warms my heart to see ole Levi again. Thanks, Andrew.
This is just too good to believe. Never back down Andrew.
Great to see Andrew C breaking out the fine adjustment tools! And lovely to see Levi the late great Lab-inspector once again…
18:12 And yet he is so delicate in some operations.
Levi sighting around 16:00
I have seen trailers hooked up many ways but not the Andrew Camarata way. It was good to get another glimpse of Levi. He was a great companion.
I've not seen anyone use a chain hoist and overhead crane since the 1960s. I love the way you do some things the old fashioned way.
I'm glad you explained that you tightened the hubs where there is no play in them. When I was a young man, I never knew how much to tighten wheel bearings.

Thanks...
Still the same on bike cranks and pedals
Shawn Brown yes. Goes for alfa laval centrifugal cleaners and some flywheel nuts as well.
I worked at a flatbed trailer plant in the late 70s, For disc wheels. Left side had Left hand inner and outer wheel nuts, right side had right hand. (left being Driver). I think the "rims" that mounted to the Hub and drum all were right hand .
@Matt Taylor I learned that lesson on an old 55 Buick after I screwed up 1 stud/nut. Yes, those were the "good old days".
Great video. Nice to see Levi.
I bet that one bushing that was being stubborn is going to be a pain next time Andrew has to replace bushings. Based on how stubborn it was going in with the new bushing.

Awesome cameo by Levi, the original Lab Inspector. Old videos are priceless.

I've had to change the brakes, bushings, and all the linkages on a trailer as well but you made that look easy.
When you’re trying to hammer the bushings in you could’ve put the bolt through it which would help prevent any damage to the bushing.
But it looks like you got it in anyway
That was so cool the way you put the trailer back on your truck thanks for sharing seeing Levi again

He wouldn't have an issue removing that bolt if he used a shorter extension, or even better a weighted socket.
