No idea why I sat through 47 minutes of this, I don't own any heavy machinery and know nothing of excavation etc, but damn are your videos entertaining my man, good stuff
Ikr..me too
Me too
Stephen Singletary I find this interesting
I don't have any machinery Stephen look up my comment.
Same for me, though I operated a Kubota KX 41 mini excavator for about 5 yrs in an underground track gold mine digging drainage ditches and digging forms for the construction crew, it was never a boring job.
I cant even watch movies for 47 minutes without my brain wandering, but your videos are a breeze to sit through and stay enthralled
You need a better job probably. Most movies are boring as hell.
Looks bloody cold in his workshop. 🇬🇧
@@nedloh17 well his workshop is just a bunch of shipping containers
I was going into the comments to explain that some might not watch this video because of the length but I can relate to this so much.
@@taylorthornton7280 up
I can _barely_ sit through a 15 minute video on most things but 47 minutes of Andrew doing almost anything just flies by!
and here i am watching it again lol 4 years later
He wastes no time talking but says just enough. That’s a gift
If the people of the world had about 1/3 of the motivation as Andrew it would be a totally different place
They are already motivated, capitalism is killing their motivation.
These Dudes are tough to find.
@@allroyalty5015 its because they're smart enough to not be a slave.
People of the world do have the motivation.
Half the people of the US do not.
isn't that the truth,the thing i like about him the most is that he is a tinkerer and figures stuff out on his own rather then have to use service calls from equip dealer.
Andrew Camarata has been a very smart boy ever since he was young. The community loves him and his family.
I sure agree about him being smart. I do have to wonder how he has so much knowledge about just about anything. I am probably about twice his age (I am 61) and I wouldn't even know where to begin doing what he has done and what he does now. He's truly a self-made man, and I admire him greatly.
@@3069mark sometimes ya just gotta start taking stuff apart and figure out how it works.
@@calebgodwin3224 many people have no problem taking it apart. its the putting back together is the challange
@@WinterBornActual i think he is happy doing what he does, he is his own boss and judging by his character he does not like to be told how to do something or what to do which i respect
@@dennisthemenance5433 COllege isn't for everyone. My son did carpentry for 5 years then went in the Navy, and is now a crack diesel mechanic and a Petty Officer 1st class.

Can’t be stuck if your liquid is what he was thinking.
we called our sledges PERSUADERS LOL
@@htpcuser6980 That was funny>
Manifest Destiny is underused - and I like the way it was used here. Personally - I think Andrew does God Given Right to take over North America.
I have none of this equipment but I watched the whole thing because you are so entertaining and you do the work, not just talk about the work. You break a sledge, you fix the sledge. Well done. Love your videos
How is this man not cussing?? "oh the head just broke off".... Great patience and great videos!!!
Because he knows cussing does not change anything. I respect a man who can accept the negative and not cuss about it.
He was going to torch the head off if it didn’t break.
He was probably raised not to use profanity. And I respect that because I am a Christian.
…people with money and resources rarely cuss, cussing is for the poor and helpless!
I do like to cuss when things don't work... but it doesn't fix anything so I try to make it a point to continue to work to solve the problem while I cuss
I don't think there is anyone else in the world who can do what Andrew does in his own shop. Nothing can stop him from fixing the machines. He has patience beyond belief, and doesn't get discouraged. Andrew, we salute you!
One Lonely farmer Can
Nah, theres plenty of people who do or can do all kinds of stuff. Some dont have the time or just dont need to.
@@jamesnm21 or just dont record the process
Andrew’s patience and positive attitude is why I watch this. It doesn’t seem to matter what happens he takes it with a grain of salt. A lot of others are too negative all the time and I don’t need anymore negativity. Thank you Andrew.
@@tysonwalsh8193 FarmCraft101 is excellent! Even casts and then machines new parts when he has to.
I like how Andrew is patient with what he does; it doesn't matter the task. Small decals to major tread work replacement. One thing at a time, no raging temper tantrums like what I've seen in guys around here. Mom raised him right! 👍
When changing fluids, it's a good idea to remove the check plug first to not only provide a vent for faster draining, but to be sure you can refill it to the right level. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Andrew you are the best roto rooter 4
I really enjoy watching you work. You are quietly competent, never lose your cool and never use profanity.
You do know these videos are edited? :)
@Advocatus Diaboli So if you had made this video and tried to bleep out the cursing all we would have heard was a constant bleep? I probably would have had to do a lot of editing too.
Andrew you got some of your Dad’s talents and surpassed him in other ways. Hope you love him and he’s proud of you. So much to be thankful and grateful both ways.
Oh Andrew I love your " I bought this paint a couple of yrs ago" with the stiff brush in the the can... priceless...
I’m a marine mechanic, most of the boats I work on have small Diesel engines like these excavators. Yanmar, Perkins, Universal, Kubota, Volvo (repainted Perkins). The Yanmar engines are the most reliable by far. They are not the smoothest or most refined, but they never break, and always start (as long as they have clean fuel, lol)
25 year old Yanmar 3GM30F in my boat and it just goes and goes
that filter on filter action to lube up the new gasket... so simple and beautiful!
The thing I like the most about this guy is that he isn't one of these self-absorbed youtube e-celebs trying to shill you a product. Just a dude busting his ass and getting it done without complaining. The world needs more of that
Dnekf,10p hvt
Andrews enthusiasm on maintenance and his buddy approach to explaining things to the audience is fantastic!
I'm glad to see you look after your paint brushes as well as i do.
21:19 andrew doesn't get enough credit for being unintentionally funny
Haha I agree! 33:37 sits down in new chair and taps knee's da da da just testing my chair.
@@user-gu2zh7yp1t Went back and looked again...LOL
@@jamesfarnham1976 Yup had to get the time stamp after seeing this comment lol
i was busting up
44:05 They have no electronics or any stupid computers in them ... :))
Andrew's channel has made me realize how little I know about anything haha.
AGREED
Andrew should do something useful like going to a liberal arts college and getting a degree in lesbian dance theory.
@@carryclass6807 he should learn the quadratic formula before looking at an electric schematic!!

agreed i can't draw a st right line with a ruler,LOL
I have never even sat in an excavator or other heavy machine but love to watch Andrew work these machines. The fact that he can fix all of his machines is a big reason that he is so successful. Keep it coming the subjects are great fixing and using the equipment. What’s not to like ?
I started watching you videos with skepticism. Ive been an operator for over 17 years and love everything about it. Im absolutely blown away by your ability to purchase, self maintenance, self reliance in order to be as profitable as possible. You are an achievement in your self and I respect everything about you. Such an amazing story. I havent dug deep into your videos, but if you havent done a video about your background of how and why you do what you do, I think that would be a great story to hear.
Thanks to Google AI for recommending these videos by Andrew Camarata ... modest, hard-working, intelligent and truly multi-skilled working in all kinds of extreme weather !! ... this guy should be an inspiration to us all !
Nick Lawrence there are thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of guys out there doing the same things he is (including myself) he’s just one of the few taking the time to film it and put it on CZcams.
Of course I'm with you on that and I'm sure there is more than one AC out there ... I can only respond to the video's I see here ... you reminded me though, that he also films and edits like a pro too !!
Sadly today that is true but back a little ways all the s*** was just common knowledge
These machines must love being own by you. Am I the only guy that sees big smiles on them? Looking at you from Japan.
Uhh yeaassss daddyyyyy the vib- bratttion onnn the drill uhh yessss
Watching you make repairs to your equipment reminds me of my time of doing heavy repair, just loved it! I no longer have the chance to do this work anymore, its still fun watching others do it.
Andrew all I can say is you are fearless. I guess it never even occurs to you that something cannot be done. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and teaching us all how its done.
Andrew has the most positive comment section on CZcams. Facts. It's great to see so many enjoy his content. Most of us don't even have anything to do with the industry
This is three months of work for me but was just a Tuesday for Andrew.
He just does it that's the thing
The energy this man has is unbelievable he just keeps going
Iam sitting in a crane in Australia watching you fix driveways. Very relaxing. Good job done too. Zen and the art of machine operating.
Andrew, you are a man of hundreds of talents and skills. I can't stop watching your videos. Great job - with fixing things, enhancing equipment, doing things, video (including editing, drone flying), fixing things, humor, explaining what you are doing, doing things, fixing things, explaining things, creativeness, doing things, and I should mention again doing things. Thank you for all your videos.
Well said my friend!
That b37 looks awesome after the work you put into it. Good as new!
we have to try find a new turbo for the komatsu wa320 because her turbo blew to pieces wich sucked
I watch every video you post and I find every one useful and informative. I like the fact that you send every machine out painted and looking smart! Well done!
Learn just as much watching you work on the machines as putting them to work. Keep up the great variety and continue to work hard Andrew your clients are very fortunate to have you on board and taking care of their projects.
I’ve been watching Andrew’s channel on and off for years. I’m a subscriber. I’m back binge watching. I’ve learned a bunch from Andrew. You have to admire a hardworking young fella.
I’m also catching up and binge watching lol. It’s a good time killer during the winter layoff
Ok fine, I'll go to bed in 47 minutes instead of now...
That’s my line, ha ha ha
Haha same
I watch his videos at 1.75x normal speed so I got it done in 26.9 minutes.
@@matthewwheaton5835 Good idea more time to watch another one!
Sleeping is overrated😂
This guy is unbelievable. I have great respect for him
Great video! Love your calmness, and description of the issue being tackled. Keep Them coming! Pleasant greetings from BELIZE!
Bolt can´t be stuck if it´s liquid
Thee ole gas ax, a thousand and two uses .Lol
@@327JohnnySS Gas Ax=Smoke Wrench lol!
Blue Wrench!
@AWDJR don't discount the "phire phillips" , every toolbox should have one
Worked as a mech fabricator at a gravel quarry for a big company. Best thing on big equipment with big bolts drill in the center with a good sharp bit then use a torch and fallet the bolt out. Wish andrew would set up a po box for fan mail.
Love these clips almost as much as the ones where you are working on the job site. Feels like we're right there with you....thanks.
It's just satisfyingly entertaining to watch you work thru all the issues your having and have solutions to those issues
One of my favourite video of Andrew working on the machine. I wish there more painting video. 😂
Andrew as always thanks for sharing.Having the quick release on several machine's is a huge time saver,anyone in the construction business knows time=money.great video.
This guy is no nonsense, no fluff, no ego, awesome.
Best thing about your videos is you ATTITUDE. Nothing ... nothing ever stops you in your tracks.
Ive never seen a fella with a "no quit" work ethic like you. Great job.
You remind me of my late father who was a Blacksmith, welder, mechanic, electrician, Plummer, gas-fitter, inventer, and could fix or re-engineer almost anything. he lived in a farming community where he was the go-to man for repairing anything from a wristwatch to a D9 Cat. Man do I enjoy watching your ability to jump in and fix anything, great show!!!!
My dad was the same way. One of the best summers I ever had was working with him at his excavation business when I was in college. He drove the backhoe, I drove the dump truck. Tearing down buildings, putting in septic tanks and leach fields, gravel driveways, fences, built a little bridge. He wouldn't let me use the backhoe on jobs (not enough experience), but he let me play with it on our property. I think I missed my calling.
It's awesome how much someone can get done with a welder, plasma cutter and some determination.
And a refurbished hammer.......
Im amazed and satisfied at the same time. i admire your willingness to tackle the hard stuff. I LOVE the dogs, shows you have a good heart too!!!!
I was reinstalling a track yesterday and this shows some helpful tricks
Glad to hear that.
I was just binge watching a ton of your videos lol
He's amazing isn't he? CZcams's hardest working contributor.
The dude is too young to be so skilled as an operator AND a hell of a mechanic.
In addition to being a great mechanic, you're quite the drone pilot! So entertaining watching you work on that stuff!!
Can't believe I missed this one.
Came up in my feed and saw I hadn't given it a like so I knew I hadn't watched it.
The only thing he did wrong from what I could see was the bolts on the rollers were to short and no anti-sieze on them where they go thru area along with no locktight on the threads.
Anti-sieze & lock washers on the roller set he got from china as well.
Other than that his videos are facinating to watch.
Especially the container Castle build series.
That was a seriously awesome series.
I've spent a lifetime doing the sort of things that Andrew does. When his age (and older) I remember thinking why do these old guys move so badly. I can tell you that I now feel every day of those years in back, arm, neck and leg pains. But it really was worth it, I had a lot of fun and don't regret any of it even if my mother was right when she said "you;ll suffer for that when your older" :)
Every time I see Andrew jumping off the machine instead of stepping on the track I think of how much it hurts my legs to do that now.
Just wanted to say thank you. I rented a mini ex to do some work around the house and one of the tracks came off. Not watching your videos, I would have no idea how to put it back on. A big thanks.
Watched most of your videos and my comment is "You are an ACE mechanic". I've only witnessed 2 other people in my 73 year history that have your raw talent. Keep the videos coming!
some knowledge and the persistence to carry through when shit breaks, or gets tough.. also know when it's out of your expertise like sending away the skidsteer track motor for a rebuild rather than ripping into it, although sometimes as long as you have access to all the rebuild parts needed, knowledge of acceptable tolerances/clearances, and tools -sometimes even tool and die/machining, you can be successful in all ventures!
Jim Ryan When he was standing on the breaker bar trying to get the roller off he was trying to loosen it to the right he should’ve been turning
the bar to the left
@@KCBEECH You've never tried tightening a bolt that won't come off? Sometimes it's the trick that works. these obviously were long past becoming hammered dogpoo. I can't imagine running something like that until it siezes up and wears the metal off while wearing a groove into the track.. That's just insane. Then again I guess thats what you get when you buy an excavator with over 8000 hours on it.
Nice too see a younger guy who is firstly prepared to work with older kit and not run up huge debts buying new....and so keen to see things serviced and tidied up.... well done good work 👍👍
I am a retired mechanic that spent 20 years racing cars in Europe.....I now live in the tropics of Far North Queensland Australia. So I have absolutely nothing in common with the temperature that Andrew works in but everything in common with recognising that he is a true gun tradesman. Love your videos mate.
Thanks
I like how thorough you are with your maintenance.
Maintenance is the most important part of owning a machine. Oil, filters, hoses, bearings, coolant, paint and grease are way cheaper than machine replacement.
Glad you are showing this.
Would help if you had a price breakdown of all parts replaced.
Just sold my grey market Mitsubishi MS035 and bought a domestic Yanmar SV40. I haven't had a chance to really use it yet, but it's loaded with computer electronics, plus heat, A/C, six-way blade, and stereo. The jury is still out. Love all your videos.
wish i had all these skills. love watching and learning new things even though i may never do them.
you are the hardest working one man show on youtube...I love that you do several projects in one video..I can watch you all day....keep up the good work!
1) You continue to inspire AND educate in the realms of practical reality. THANK YOU!!!!
2) GLOVES!!! Protect those digits!
Love the amazing way that you over come any issues and get a very good quality exchange of parts and modifications to the attachments 👍👍👍💪🏴
I like how you take good care of your equipment. At least with the painting. Even if its not perfect, I believe you have the right idea with your actions. Something is better than nothing at all.
....you are an inspiration to young and old alike.....you take care of your equipment, and they will take care of you...always buy the very best, you will never be sorry
Right... preventive maintenance is the key for long-life on almost everything!
"Ok, Let's get started!!" Andrew is the best!!
it is so exciting to watch how you enjoy your work and fixing that stuff :) bravo man!
fun to watch this in the summer when it is 99F in KC. good work.
keep on truckin'!
A 47 minutes video from Andrew to start the day what a treat!
Your new Yanmar looks amazing, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
My wife and I are hooked. This guy is America to its core. So good!
I have a set of vice grips from the 1940s my dad had, have used em a billion times! I really admire your work ethic n tenacity, that’s what’s made America great!
Quote of the day: "I found somethin' ta hammer."
A nice cup of coffee with my buddy Andrew . Good long video love it thanks for the coffee and hanging with us,
I like that you do your best to make your machines as close to original as possible. The thumb is a great option but the best option is quick discount. I am retired and disabled I enjoy your videos.
Watching this maybe for the third time , far more entertaining than 99.9 % of TV
Your truly going to appreciate all this effort come your busy season. While other guys will be broken down or waiting on parts your going be working 👍. Great content. Fine job.
Just watched a 47 minute video on how to change an excavator track. Will probably never own one but i love the videos.
I want to thank you for these videos so much! My toddler is absolutely obsessed with them. As soon as he wakes up he asks for "kaka" which in his language means "tractor" (he associates every machine you work on with a tractor). We are very grateful for your interesting videos & keep up the good work! God bless...
love your videos, I just learned so much, I have your same Kubota kx121-3, a case 430, and a gradall. seeing you put the track back on the Minix with the bucket just opened my eyes, Ive been using my other machines to lift and set the track in place wen it cowboys off, but now I know how a real operator does it.
Andrew, I like the way you put bonus stuff in your videos. Most other youtubers would only do material of the title. I always like when you decide to fix something else in the same video, instead of making two videos. This makes your channel very appealing to me. I also noticed that your not corrupted by sponsors. That makes your videos very authentic. Thank you for the interesting videos!
After fixing the sledge hammer Andrew could hang up his cement block as a beating tool, NICE!
.Your a force of pure energy Andrew and a joy to watch so keep up the great channel!
I am getting a mini-ex in the near future and learned 100x more from this video than I did from the "things to look for when buying an excavator" videos... Great job and great content as always Andrew! 1M here we come!
Anything made in Japan is unbreakable. Keep up the good work
A back and time saving tip andrew, when pouring out 5 gal pails, or any pail. Place the spout up top not on bottom, this way when you go to dump youve got more accuracy, plus the air can go in and the fluid pours out fast!!! To explain myself, take the 5 gallon pail. Lay it on its side and roll it until the spout is up top and the oil cant come out. Thats the same way you hold it when you go to pour. no more glug glug glug and easier. Works with quart oil jugs with the spout on one side, (not the middle)
same thing with 1 qt oil bottles, and the old square cans.
@@asmith4326 yep!! Tricks in the design so simple many of us overlook them!
Life hack
exactly. Maybe it's just the sole proprietor in me but I have a tendency to feel a little nervous when I watch these. I notice I get over it though and I might even be a more patient boss at work.;)
Yanmar, follows KISS, keep it simple stupid. I worked on sailboat engines just out of high school and Yanmar made the most sensible designed engines I came across. Unbelievable, engineers that designed things so they do not break and when they do, they can actually be fixed. Keep up the good work, I love your videos, I always learn something new, thank you.
I love the principal of KISS in engineering. Keep It Simple Simon
I cracked up when Andrew played with the controls and looked ahead as though he were working a job. Love these vids.
6:26 what a great little trick for oiling the filter seal. Never thought of that.
Again Levi has a way of putting the finishing touch on a already great video.
Your knowledge and understanding of your machinery is quite outstanding really enjoy your videos
Nice tip 4 u buddy , when you Finished with paint seal the lid tight ,and TURN TIN UPSIDE DOWN , then next time you use paint the skin is underneath the paint , hence , no skin to deal with .be careful not to mix to deep as you will break skin , 👍
Andrew, you have an incredible amount of energy - you make me tired just watching! Thanks for posting.
OH WOW IGODA GET ME A PEICE OF OLD TRACK , I love your entrepreneur spirit Andrew .
if he can't hide it in the scrap metal somehow, it'll cost him the dump it. so, hell, why not cut it up and sign it/paw print and sell for a few sheckles on ebay if you can break even for your time, and someone gets a kick out of it.
Thanks for the great video mate ,Yanmar make great marine engines very reliable ,not like some of the junk with well known names and bigger price tags ,you certainly have a great workshop that most people would like to have,me included ,look forward to the video on the thumbs.cheers from down under.
@Agent 036 NWO- damn straight, Japan manufactures high quality goods. Think Honda motorcycles, not even the same as made in China.
Keith Kelly That's spot on mate ,it goes for most things as well as motorbikes and outboard motors power tools cars ,I remember a old tee shirt that summed it up " I'd rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner" sort of admits defeat on so many levels. Cheers mate from down under.
Agent 036 NWO That's most things ,it's got to do with quality control ,and their culture of personal responsibility ,Cheers mate from down under.
I'm very impressed how well you take care of your machines. Guys that take good care of there machines seem to do a better job and have fairer prices.
Andrew you did just the right amount of surface prep for painting. 😎
