Andrew must have ran out of yellow paint. I always enjoy that part of the equipment repair process!
Always so rewarding to see a fresh coat after a repair
Patina is gud
or the pressure washing.
Love your channel and his!
Rust is not good and it looks unprofessional.
Don’t ever stop making videos like this in this format. So hard to find good videos like this on CZcams now.
A lot of people have bailed on youtube due to their nazi policy and wokeness.
Have u subscribe to mustie1 and greekcuttingengineer?
Yes and 1000% better the a "Whislingdiesel Destroyer Video", i hate this WD crap ...
10 minutes of ripping a car apart and Andrew didn't even put it in the title of the video? The man knows how to reward his dedicated viewers! Thanks Andrew!
He couldn't find a better partner 😂😂😂😂
Under promise and over deliver…. Can’t go wrong.
Well, if the image of the car being stretched was on the cover, this video would reach a lot more viewers.
I read this comment before watching and thought he was gonna be tearing down an engine. Came back after watching and had to lol.
Heavy machinery fan service. 🙂👍
Andrew, although the Chainsaw Radio Installation will always be a sentimental favorite, this Hyster Stretch Limo Mod may well stand the test of time! Seriously, your videos always tell a great story end to end, and you include the right mix of education, entertainment, and personal courage to just get things done. I can’t count the number of times I’ve repeated to myself your excellent mantra that “cold weather is just an excuse not to work; just do it”. Looking forward to the next video!
this is an awesome install......reading your comment about this install.....made my day
hey andrew, i am a commercial boat owner and a tip i can give you with old hydraulic winchs or any equipment that have been sitting, you can just hook one side up leave the other side of the winch port open, start up the pump hit the proper arm for that direction and collect all the gunk on the other port with a bucket. Usually everything comes off in 2-3 seconds. shut it off and hook it properly. Good video thanks! cheers
What does it mean to hit the proper arm? I understood the rest.
@@jeevunvethanayagam6536 I mean acuate the lever for the port that isn't open so hydraulic oil goes through and exit in your bucket
@@jeevunvethanayagam6536 the controls, forward, reverse, up, down, etc
@@realphilg gotcha. Thank you for the tip.
I h.
I have been watching these videos for years now, and I'm still floored by the tenacity Andrew has with projects. Knuckles busted, constantly panting and huffing to try to do something as simple as run a couple hoses. Researching filters and ancient pump systems. You're like a necromancer wrapped in a bald eagle dipped in diesel. God bless you, legend!
Hell yeah!
Dude I notice the grunting and huffing is getting more common over the years lol, bros getting old :P
@@keyboardwarrior9199 he’s pulling on bigger and bigger machinery.
Even at 65 years of age, i'm still fascinated how a small device that pumps a tiny amount of liquid can build enough strength to move such a massive weighted machine. There are literally thousands of pounds of weight involved here but yet that little pump will pull that entire machine on angles and often even up hill with other weight attached sometimes. This generation is also fortunate to have modern machines that are so powerful that they can be operated with a little joystick and a few push buttons and even having such luxuries as Air conditioning and heat and stereo in a enclosed cab. When i started out, everything was still cable operated and motor driven with gear drive units and some push button starters instead of pony motors to start the main motors. From Primitive to almost automated in just a span of 30 years it seems. Amazing.
Out of all the hoses I have ever fitted in my whole life. I have never found these hoses so interesting including the voice overs of grasping for air as you tension each fitting. Rechecking that filter makes you an outstanding technician
Andrew always finds ways to test his repairs.
Bawhahahaha 😊👍
Solid repair. That winch has got some balls!
The biggest balls of them all!!
Probably at least a 65,000 lb winch. It’s badass!
Imagine what 500’ of cable alone weighs, not sure what that EX weighed but i never heard the engine change tunes dragging it....
d7h's are 80,000lb winches
@@Dan-ot7tz holy shit thats insane litteraly the power of god
I am impressed you cleaned out the filter more than once! Nice job sir.
You can tell Andrew is still a kid at heart. Glad to see the old girl working like she should. Can’t wait to see it with a new paint job!
With all the crap going on in the world, you don't know how much I need a video like this right now!
Amen and Amen ✝️🙏
Strangely satisfying,, ty Andrew an Friend.
Andrew, look in the bottom of the hydraulic reservoir and see if there are sand dunes of metal shavings/filings. These will forever clog your filters. Our injection molding machines came from the factory with piles of shavings in the 1100 gallon reservoir. It looked like a friggin' beach in there.
Let me guess,... made in China ?
@@gatekeeper65 Isn't everything???
I found casting sand in a 1978 Plymouth Volare's 318 V8 many years ago ... its not just the Chinese ...
@@uploadJ Yep! And that's why race car engine builders thoroughly clean out ALL castings, iron, alum, etc. I bought a 1968 Dodge Coronet brand new. Had a rattle in the door, so rather than take it to the dealer, I popped the door panel off and found a 9/16 X 5/8 end wrench laying in the bottom of the door from the factory!!
@@Watchyn_Yarwood Score ! 😃
Your attention to detail goes beyond your years, kudos. Nice test btw. Loving your work Andrew.
You are such a trooper. I removed the pony in favor of 24V but my D7E lacks the winch and tilt....sure wish i had the tilt. Your ROPS is almost identical to mine from Arkansas(now in GA). I've heard from old timers that you can tell where they come from based on that. I love to hear that huge 4 cylinder doing its thing. Nothing like old iron. Keep up the good work man.
Andrew, your hard work is paying off. I admire your work ethic and determination to see things through. You are living life well and you have earned it.
Jzjdføff 😊
It’s not his fault he was born that way
If you run the cable though a bath of old oil and diesel mix. To get the cable ready for work.
Winch has some serious torque 😱That machine deserves a paint job!
OH,and by the way. Will you secure the wire wheel on that bench when you use it? I cant have you getting injured . What the heck will i watch?
So not only a dedicated repairman but an AWESOME channel who even gave us a bonus with the destruction at the end of video, THANK YOU!
I am amazed at your knowledge and patience with this old equipment….I love it myself!
Andrew, my entire life is different from yours. I will never do the things you do. Thank you SO MUCH for teaching me about engineering, repair, tools, physics, rock, watercraft, excavators, and retrievers!
That old dozer has had a very hard life, from the looks of all the battle scars it is sporting! Retiring to Andrews compound is just reward for it! That winch is impressive!
SPARTA!
Retiring my ass, that thing will be at the top of Levi's lookout mountain pass pulling containers up the cliff sides in the snow.
@@jp34604 If retirement means getting pushed to the max and working your ass off...
there is no such thing as retirement for working machines
Just watched on my tv for the first time, Andrew’s film clarity and quality is amazing.
So I have Watch many of your videos now since I stumbled onto this channel. I love the fact you see a problem you just go for it , as a long time aircraft mechanic who has worked on older jets I feel a Kindred spirit with you, it is not going to fix itself…. I feel your real Appeal is that you’re just a lovable guy. Keep it up.
That was cool. I knew when it said" fixing a winch" meant he was gonna try it out and it would be awesome. Andrew never disappoints.
a starving child in africa could've eaten that car
@@mostlypeaceful5621 could have lived in it first then ate it ..just sayin
When they were hooking it up I was thinking what a waste of time and energy. But it was pretty awesome.
Love this video
This is by far the best and most wholesome CZcams channel out there. I could watch him all day. I’ve already watched so many over and over. Andrew deserves every ounce of success and wealth
My son has his 4 and 2 year old boys watch these Andrew Videos - best thing ever for growing little minds - work - trucks - dogs - the trifecta.
@@murrayspiffy2815 I’ve thought about that before. Someday when I have kids they will love watching these. Way better and more educational than cartoons. And I’ll enjoy watching them as well
It’s strange how fun it is to watch him work. I even got my 84 year old mom to watch him with me. She actually loved watching the videos and Levi too. Now they’re both gone 🥺
I love your practical way of solving difficult vehicle problems. It seems that no job is too big or difficult for you. It's FUN to watch your videos. Don't change anything! ...Art
Please don't stop making videos. Love watching you two and the dogs ❤
Holy cow! The outback coming apart!
I drove an outback about that vintage and put over 200k miles on it, almost painful to watch this one ripped apart
@@russellsmith3825 solid cars, but look disgusting lol
Name change from: Outback to Backoff
It really went “out and back”!!!
Oh well. Scratch one decent parts car. 😂
I think those two lines just hanging out were coolant swap lines. It's pretty common in logging/oil drilling to run warm coolant through a cold engine to get them started easier in the winter. Just my two cents, and Great Video!!
Nice to know.Thanks for sharing.
@Steve Sherman 5
This is exactly what i was going to say! As ol peg from zip ties and bias plies would call them spit swappin lines!
I believe your right I pulled a tanker with food grade stuff we ran coolent to keep products from freezing
Those are hydraulic couplers on the end. Only thing I can see is they were for running auxiliary hydraulics.
Andrew, this whole project was both fun and impressive and a good team love watching you guys working together. Well done. Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant Andrew, watched it several times over here in Ireland. More please!
Id recomment putting some cable grease in the winchline, lubrication is very important and will make spooling way easier. Cable grease is also water proof and will penetrate into the cable fibers.
Cable fibers? I thought it was just strands of steel braided together?
@@AK-47ISTHEWAY It is still fibres of steel that form a cable.
@@Drakey_Fenix research fibers goof you have no clue
@@bernlew977 each metal strand to make the wire is still called fiber dummy
@James Riley research it goof fiber is in a composite material not in steel cable fucking hair lip
I'm an aeronautical engineer , I have never owned a heavy machine or even sat in one ... and i still find Andrew content is so interesting .. i always get excited when i see a new vid is posted
Hey there Andrew, you should do a video about all the tools you have, how you care for them, and keep them organized. You have such an impressive amount!! Your videos are so well done, I’m sure we all would enjoy an hour long video😜👍🏼. Ever since I found you, I’ve been watching y’all your videos-love the drone shots, you live in such a beautiful area..
Just found this channel, and what I find really nice about this video is that you can tell from the tools used, the shop, the sounds, that this is a place where actual work is done. There are too many channels where they spend so much time polishing their brand new tools and never actually use them much.
I'd love to see Andrew do a restoration video of that dozer. A complete restoration would be awesome.
Would be cool but ! I would do away with the pony motor and go with a 24 volt electric starter
Absolutely!
I want to see a restoration of the Outback
to be honest the pony motor makes it special, it's as built the best at the time
Would be awesome to see, but how hard Andrew uses his machinery, it would go to waste 😀
This channel is truly one of a kind.
Hell yeah brother
Great video Andrew. You might appreciate some “crows feet” wrench heads. You can use with a ratchet extension for those SOB TIGHT spots. Thanks for posting
Those hydraulic lines are a lot more rigid than I thought they’d be. Your hose guy does a nice job
Glad you're back to making classic Andrew repair and then put it to the test videos. Grooming snow trails does not measure up to what you're capable of doing. Nice job fixing the winch and, as importantly, putting it to good use.
The drone shots rock! =) Thanks Andrew!
That was super awesome , Thanks Andrew , your the man . The power of that winch is incredible , It pulled that car in half with no problem .
It's amazing how powerful equipment gets as it gets larger! And that's "only" a D7. Just think of how much more powerful D10 & D11's are!
A modern d7 equivalent is already significantly more powerful than this one. So a S10 is going to be WAY more powerful.
The smile on your face while sitting on the ripped car is gold 😉 also I'm happy to see the winch is working great 👍
Andrew never fails to get the job done, I wanted to hear you say they make these outback’s cheaper then they used to.
I mean that thing came apart for no reason, no reason at all.
@@richardvaughn168 reason is.. Andrew needed to test his winch out on something. 😂
It came apart for no reason
Cars these days are made of tinfoil.
@@ClinttheGreat and so were the old ones. 18-20 gauge trash.
WOW. That was a tough little Outback. Winch is definitely in top working condition. Loved it.
You should do videos of prepping and painting some of this equipment! Love watching those videos
Thanks for the videos.
A crows foot wrench head on a impact wrench with appropriate length extension can work good to tighten or loosen hard to reach hydraulic hose fittings.
Thanks dude! I've never thought of doing that! Seriously,sometimes I cringe trying to tighten fittings, putting covers back on and wondering "did I get that tight enough?"
Everytime I've tried that it's turned into a disaster 🤣 oh well I guess one more try won't make anything broken than it already was 😁👍
That pulling-apart of the car was totally unexpected. Loved it!!
and how rusty those Subies are and fall apart and unsafe to drive sad to see but true
lol...awesome ending. Nothing but props, no fluids spilled, and no environmental mess
, all done with that in mind. The power of that winch is incredible.
Great Work! Andrew. There's a Cat Bulldozer sitting on the side of the road 40 mins in the town outside from my new home town in Ladysmith B.C. :) It look's like your D7E Cat
Award-winning camera work. made me feel right there with you. how sad we are that we missed the yellow paint :)
FYI, Just in case you aren't aware, there is special lubricant for winch cable that does not attract dirt. Regardless of what you choose you might consider putting something on that winch line to stop the rust. Spooling line on the winch is demonstrated well on Ron Pratt's channel. Just a suggestion
Seilfett
This lubricant is great for underbody protection on cars
It's not just the rust. Oil inside the cable would make it more supple.
i was very surprised that while it was fully out he didnt clean it and lube it for future use
Yes 👍 it is!! Ron Pratt did an outstanding job on those videos….
Really like seeing you getting these old machines working again and their attachments. I just bought a fully restored (every nut and bolt removed) 1966 cat D7 with hyster winch also. The history of it is, it was bought brand new here in australia by a western queensland farmer (where i live) to do one job and that was to clear trees and make a road on his farm and make firebreaks around the perimeter of his property. From what i gather he did that and used it mayne twice in the mid 70s and he got sick and it sat ojtside in the sun on his farm until the owner before me bought it in the early 1990s. He started to restore it when he retired in 2007 and slowly worked on it and other machines in his collection. I had wanted a bigger machine but i can't justify needing any bigger. I bought the machine for what i consider a good price and he knows it will be used. He retored it to a condition that he said isnt overly restored. The engine was torn down and rebult and looks new but nkt brand newparts werent pilished but parts that were meant to be painted were. My first job will be digging a new dam tomorrow as we are meant to get some welcome rain. Happy new year from australia
Agree w/John Simpich. The year of the dreadful shelter in place, my wife, my 4 y/o daughter and I binge watched this channel day and night. As this video demonstrates I was educated and we were all entertained. The videos brought my family aww and enjoyment at a needed time. As usual this video had a successful ending but totally cracked us up, especially my daughter.
This was one of the best repair videos I have seen. I even backed it up several times to see it again. Excellent job Andrew.
That was an insane ending! Amazing Mech skills and machines. Glad you FINALLY got a helping hand! Thanks for the entertainment.
don't wear her out
That girl has been around since he was building his castle.
Like mentioned she has been around since he put the roof on the castle and Andrew said she works for him, that has to be a bad ass woman to hang with him that long
She's a good welder too, IIRC
@@young11984 I think he said in his last video - I bought a Mountaintop - that he's "hanging out with her" which I assume means she's kinda his girlfriend, and by the looks of it, she's a keeper.
Those hoses on the right side that you took off were an add-on so you could run double acting cylinders. or hydraulic motors from the operators station via the controls for the blade tilt circuit. Buddy of mine had those on his D6 and he used it to pull a chisel plow when he was building terraces and didn't have a ripper
Ol boy does NICE work. The forethought to recheck the filter after running it for a bit was very smart. Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼
I'm so glad that you know what you're doing when reeling in that cable. It's such an important step, which most people don't realize.... Anytime you are reeling in a winch cable (steel or especially with synthetic rope) you always want to make sure that you have some tension on it so that when it winds it's on there tightly. In the event that you don't do that, you run the risk of cutting the cable with itself due to the tension put onto a loose spool, as well as increased chance of it getting tangled up and wound up which would make it very difficult to undo. It's always good to see someone that knows what they're doing not taking half-assed steps. 👍🙌👏
Good advice I like to spray some oil on the cable when it's winding back up
@@jackk8422 I actually worked for Warn for a little while... I learned a great deal about winches and how they function, Etc. What you mentioned about the oil is a great idea as well. Prevents rust and allows them to spool out and back in much easier. 👍
@@three6ohchris learned that the first time I had to change the cable on a 80 ton crane.
@@jackk8422 lol, Oh wow... I can't even begin to imagine how much "fun" that must have been, LOL. Those hydraulic high capacity winches can be beasts. Giant sizes of cable that have to be used on those.. good gracious. I see why you sprayed it with oil. LOL.
@@three6ohchris now that I think about it the cable got tangled in itself because the supervisor decided to break the crane down and he didn't have any tension on it. Also it was a 1974 p & h so it is a mechanical which
Based upon my calculations, I predict that Andrew will have 2 million subscribers by the end of 2022. This is one of the 1st channels that I ever subscribed to, which was more than 4 years ago. It is still my favorite channel and it has been great watching Andrew grow his CZcams hobby into a well-paying career that he really enjoys.
That saw you guys used to cut the hose was badass. We had a cheap harbor freight chop saw at the metal recycling yard i used to work in.
I love these longer videos...just can't get enough of The Hardest Working Man on CZcams :)
Because of your channel, every time I pass by a place with heavy equipment I'm like "this would be so much fun to work on". Glad you got it working.
Said no heavy equipment mechanic ever 😂

I would be nowhere without Chris over at power tech it’s nice you let you film him. Keep up the great videos man
I always enjoy watching you work on your equipment because there’s nothing you won’t fix or try to fix Andrew , that’s what impresses me about you Andrew! You’ll tackle the biggest of repairs and get it done, you’re amazing brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 And your videos are the most entertaining and educational of any other than I’ve seen because of your awesome editing, never a boring moment brother! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Andrew you still need to let the starting engine stop by running out of fuel to save the 1 quart in it from being diluted with gasoline. The small tank shown is actually safer for that engine than the factory one thats mounted up above it. Placing the tank down below the engine ensures it wouldn't have a constant supply of gas.
Also that loose track hasn't come off yet? Wow looks real loose, bad tentioner shaft seal? Real funny parting out of the Subaru with the winch cable lol
Maybe The Chieftain would be interested in stopping by for some track tensioning ; )
totally agree on the pony motor need to let it run out of fuel and you dont need alot
That track is probably worn to a length that is more than the adjusters can take up. He might need to compress the adjuster in and remove a link of the track. I'd say that undercarriage is 10%.
That was sooooo cool! Wasn't expecting a treat like that. Thank you!
I'm glad Andrew finally found a way to stop an outback. I cant wait till we can watch him fix it.
You know you're addicted when you get a notification that Andy uploaded to CZcams and you down tools to watch.
13:05 man what an investment that would be. The ability to make any hose when ever you need. Lots of money for the machine but even more money for all the fittings and hose to go along with them. So worth it though. Maybe one day I’ll be in that position.
We bought a used set up from a CarQuest that closed down after Advance bought them out where i used to work and paid $3k for the crimper, cutter and probably $15k in hoses fittings o rings and all storage bins. It would crimp -3 to -20 hoses, hellova deal
It's cool to go see the hydraulic hose guy. lol
For reals. I just had about 10 hoses made and spent around 1000
@@rudychacon7175 i had one hose made and was $680, about had a heartastroke. I knew it was going to be a bit expensive but 🤯
@@young11984 yea it’s crazy expensive. I should add I got a discount because my hose guy is an old high school friend.
One of the coolest ends to a video I've seen in a while. Winch works!
Andrew é o cara, admiro muito seu trabalho.
I've been binge-watching your videos for a couple months now. Love the channel! We bought property in Western New York with a well and septic system and a house in grave shape. Thanks for the tips! We turned a $12,500 property into $88,500 and spent only $3000
~~~~~ Nice repair. Using the BX to figure your hydro hoses was pretty clever! Making a 'stretch limo was extra icing on the cake! The force created by hydraulics has always amazed me. Thanks for the video Andrew! PS: nice tight roping skills !
Andrew, I'm thinking the hydraulic hoses you pulled out were probably to run a hydraulic sub soiler or ripper but they added the winch instead.
Really enjoy your videos.
Russ (Florida)
Those little tiny lines were probably for something that someone rigged up. Nothing with any serious power.
Would you consider giving that winch cable a soaking with a 60/40 diesel/oil spray just so it lays better (slips across and arranges itself onto the spool on winding by reducing friction) and which will also keep serious cable eating rust at bay a bit longer?
Thing with winch line: you want it to be rolled up nicely and not have no damage in the line. Make sure you lubricate the line and the pulley too
it's already shot
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei you can clearly see they got it spinning. But yes he can use a new winch line that’s old and not straight
Everyone is soooo envious of Andrew - he does what we have dreamed of doing! Keep on doing it, Andrew!
Not everyone....
no envy, just enjoyment... i wouldn,t want to have it/do it/want it , i can just enjoy his dreams as i have my own., 😊
You are the “Man” Andrew! Nice piece of technical prowess!!
I was thinking about the capability of the winch to recover equipment fallen off a cliff or something while you were replacing the pump/lines. Nice twist at the end. Wasn't thinking of that capability. Great content, Thanks.
Thanks. Yes, that is what this is meant for, sometimes having another machine work on steep ground.
Amazing to see such tight quarters in such a large machine. I thought working on my Bobcat was cramped, but that Cat is no different.
That old iron is a beast! That girl in work clothes also needs her own channel. Throwing cable with no gloves on already got my sub. She was getting shit done. Great to see.
Andrew makes the best videos. I could watch them all day.

@@thunderstruck1078 Not everyone wants kids
@@vanenmar7491 Eventually we all do. It's the primary drive of all species, not just mammals, but plants too.
This so called "care-free, hedonistic life" is only a modern invention of the media and it's only ever promoted for people of European descent.
Then they turn around and say we need mass immigration because there's no one to work.
It's a morally sick system and so many people come to curse themselves and their whole life in old age, for believing in this suicidal "kids are a hassle" narrative.
There are even worse consequences, but I don't want to get too political out of respect for Andrew.
@@thunderstruck1078 No, we don't. It's nothing to do with the media or politics. Neither me or my wife have ever wanted kids and I know many elderly people who never wanted kids and have never regretted not having them either! People need to accept that not everyone is obsessed with kids!
@@vanenmar7491 I don't believe you, but OK, you are the master of your own life and I don't want to judge you, but I can't imagine anyone getting older and not regretting that decision.
If that's not a selfish, hedonistic decision I don't know what is.
What could be the reason for it, I've never understood that, even though I myself had spurs of the usual postmodern "child-free = care-free" mentality up to my late 20s.
I can say for myself, when I became a parent I came to a conclusion that kids are the very purpose of life.
It's like a whole new dimension of living, of marriage... everything changes for the better.
But it's actually indescribable and I increasingly think of it as a duty.
A duty to my ancestors, to my people.
Who am I to break this thousands years long line?
Now that I'm writing this it occurred to me that this is actually similar to how you would treat your nation. Your home.
A duty to make it at least a little bit better for my children than it was when I received it as inheritance from my ancestors.
Isn't that the natural way of improving, moving forward, progressing?
Where would we be without those who came before us?
But I understand that Americans might no longer even feel they still have a nation of their own. That's been beaten out of you over the years.
Nice repair and the winch test was awesome. There's some power there.
Rewatching this again so cool you spent the time and money on getting this winch working again!! Love this channel
I do have a question, for you Andrew. I hope you see this, that fitting on the filter that has the "jam" nut on it being feed from the hydraulic pump. That type of fitting you do not put sealant on the threads or pipe dope. That is a straight threaded fitting that uses that o-ring at the sealing nut to keep the hydraulics in. When you put that fitting it it should not and I say this strongly should not get tight. That means you have bottomed out that fitting that can break the housing that it is going be a bad day. Just run the fitting till you feel it stop, loosen the fitting up one turn lining it up with your hose. Thread your hose back on the fitting and use the hose to help hold the fitting while you tighten up the sealing nut that has the o-ring. Job done.
O-Ring Boss fitting
STOR fitting ... straight thread O ring
@@tyendor503)
It looked like it had a jam nut on it based on how he was manipulating it with two wrenches, but if you watch carefully, it doesn't seem to have a jam nut. That he'd on the end is integral.
@@littlejackalo5326 That is a jamnut, very common on angled boss and face o-ring fittings,45 and 90 being the most common. It appears threads are likely buried and its rusty. The jam nut will allow the fitting to be clocked at any angle and still ensure a good seal on the o-ring, otherwise youd have to tighten the fitting and hope that the angle it snugs up is the angle you need. A luxury you wont find on a thread like NPT.
your repair abilities are excellent. not many people would take the machinery you have or that you purchase and take the time to fix it.
You might want to consider changing the oil in your hydraulic system again. When you drained the old oil out, there was a bunch of water that came out first. When you checked the screen on the return line after refilling the system, the new oil was looking kinda milky whcih may mean that there's still some water in the system.
wow, that was the coolest car demo i have ever seen. You made a stretcharu out of a subaru. well done and that winch is sick!
I love your videos. Can't believe that winch just ripped that car in half, that's crazy. Glad to see you working with help more often in your recent videos, extra pair of hands goes a long ways!
That’s actually a nice running dozer cosmetically she could use some tlc but the most important part is how she functions and now that the winch on the back works she’s good to go. Great work I know so many people who are buying up these older units because no def and no computers they just get the job done
Looking at much of your heavy equipment I notice there is a lot of rust. As you know, once rust starts it will continue to worsen. While living on the Gulf Coast next to salt water rust and corrosion was even a worse problem. I bought a 500 gallon gas tank to fuel my boat but it was totally rusted. I found a product thanks to the locals called Ospho. Using a wire wheel to clean off the heavy rust, I then sprayed my fuel tank with Ospho. It turned it black and there was no sign of rust. After brushing off some white powder residue I painted the tank with Rustoleum paint. It turned out great and 5 years later sitting only 20 feet from the saltwater, my tank had zero rust. Ospho is a fantastic product and stops rust completely turning iron oxide into iron phosphate which is inert. It also is a good primer for painting. If you sprayed Ospho on any rusted surfaces of your equipment rust would no longer be a problem and you could paint the surfaces at your convenience. All rusted parts will be black/gray which looks much better than rust. Give it a try...you will be pleased with the results.
AC had a similar product he used a couple years ago. I have used the original product called "Trustan" about 30 yrs ago when I restored my '66 Buick Riv.
His issue is that he doesn't care about pretty, he's into functioning equipment. I agree with you but AC doesn't seem to see it that way.
@@raybame5816 Anything looks better than rust and once it starts rusting it will only continue...unless treated with a product like Ospho. Eventually rusting will destroy whatever it attacks...so much for preserving functionality. Ospho is not for looks...it simply stops rust.
LOL.... nice lil chain there. Not too many guys would let their OlLadys work on the car like that. 😂
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the dozer had a pony. I operated a D8 that had a pony way back in the late 70's. It was a dinosaur back then. Glad some are still around.
