- The Terex 82-40 Dozer had been abandoned for 15 years at the Heaphy coal mine on the West coast of the South Island New Zealand when it was replaced by a newer Cat D9.
We tried to get it running but unfortunately we had starter motor issues so ended up pulling it on to the Low Bed using a Volvo EC700 digger with a little help from an EX200 Hitachi. It's off to the workshop to be restored by local Heavy Machine gurus Brownie, John and Bob. - Jak na to + styl
Good job putting it on the low loader ,fair play to the Hitachi operator .He is a surgeon in his field of heavy machine operations .
It's a young man bulldozer gently helping an old man bulldozer abandoned.
Seeing the older pieces of equipment being saved is nice to see.
Especially by the Hitachi and the Volvo. Machines helping each other. We'll all be old one day.
The size, weight, and power of these machines is what resonates with the little boy in all of us.
Top Kiwi job going on there! Great work fellas!
No matter what country you are from, most people cheer for success for the crew and project like this. Great job and hope for great outcome. 👍
KUDOS TO THE HITACHI WIZARD. What an artist.
From England Good to See a 82-40 being saved not a handy place to load under the power lines
Thank you for sharing. That bulldozer will never blow away in the wind.HA HA HA.
With the axles taken out of the drive sprockets...there is nothing but the chains holding it to the deck....
emergency rapid braking of the truck might be exciting for the truck driver....without the chains?
Extremely clever use of the Hitachi. Well done. That's A LOT of iron to have to move. Good luck to the team which wants to restore that beast.
Can’t wait to see it wake up again :)

Yep, whomever was running the Hitachi played his experience card for the win.
Watching that chain stretch like a spring was amazing. That was a first to actually see a chain elongate like that. Definitely a pucker factor there waiting for it to pop!
" Weakest Link " comes from chains stretched to limit...
Had it broken it would've gone "whippa whipppa whippa whippa" and flown 400' and taken anybody's heads off who were in the way!
@@silasmarner7586 Which is why you see everyone running around.....
@@silasmarner7586
well it can be dangerous..why you stand far back....
@@silasmarner7586 Chains don't really store energy the same way a cable will.
The real hero here is those chains....
Fair do's. Those 360 drivers know their craft.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Marty T,
That excavator makes that giant bulldozer look small.
Central California Watching
props to the Hitachi driver pushing the tracks
the only thing i could critique is running in front of it while it was hung there with chains. that was true bravery
They must have really wanted that beast out of there, that’s a lot of men & equipment dedicated to the job! Cannot wait to hear it roar to life.
That EC750 is an NZ$500,000 machine!
Sounds like they're closing the mine so it's last chance saloon
You can't leave it to the elements even if it os scrap.
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve never seen any company throw that much manpower just to get rid of one piece of equipment.
@@Page5framing I worked on a coal mine site for a long time and the one thing I always seen was if they want something done quick they throw all the labour and resources at it to get it done haha
That Volvo EC700 excavator is a beast. Very interesting video and hope to see it as the project evolves.
A huge beast but surprisingly on narrow tracks !!
It weighs as much as a main battle tank. A beast indeed.
@@marcryvon it´s intended for rock jobs. Pretty common for these machines.
Excellent
Wow , That's a monster , I can't wait to see it push again . Thank you for saving it .

This could be an interesting rebuild. Looking forward to it. Pleased to hear that the Mrs is OK with the help and your not in the dog box.
"the Mrs is OK..." In your dreams ! If Marty sold her as "just a lil' dozer more", he's deadmeat ! 🤣🤣🤣
@@marcryvon "the Mrs is OK" because Marty is only camera operator on this job. The dozer and it's restoration is someone elses enterprise.
Operated one of those some back in early 1980’s. There is a big carrier bearing on the fan shaft just behind the seat. It blew apart and knocked my hat off…could have been my head!
Good to have the right equipment. Those Terex look great in the original green.
It'll be great to hear that 2-stroke V8 running again!
Gosh when the excavator is pulling on the chain you can see it stretching, lucky it didn't break.
New it was new Zealand like ten seconds in, by the guy hooking up the chains, hi viz top! So kiwi!
Awesome job they did getting that monster loaded, thanks Mr.T for sharing and thank your Mates as well for showing/sharing this video :)
Hats off to the guys intending to restore it. Its not the kind of thing you use your 1/2" socket set on!
wow the EC700 is just such a beauty. I operate an ECR235 but its nothing compared to that angel of a machine!
They were really confident of the ground packing I guess its just local knowledge
You are such a legend to us. Absolutely love your content ❤
Oh that is big damn excavator
I haven’t seen a cab-over tractor in years! That takes me back!
Very common over here in NZ, most of the logging trucks seem to cab over
Look up New Zealand Trucks on utube and you'll be surprised how many cab- overs we have in nz. All shapes and sizes, different makes and models.
Great stuff! 😊🥰
More more more. I can't get enough of your shows.
You’ve gone up a league with that one mate
Looking good Marty🌲🎁👍
thank you Mr T
Yeah those chains need to be retired after this job, lol. Pretty wild watching them stretch.
Always admired plant operators and low loader drivers epecially, hell of a responsibility . Cracking video again, look forward to the next one !. Regards from the UK.

It makes me feel really old seeing the state of the art beast when I started being hauled off to be restored. Back then everything was going two cycle and the sound of excavation had changed. The sound of power! Thankfully that bap and snort has faded and the Cats chug on.
Great to see vintage machinery being salvaged and restored, much like heritage railways here in the UK
That was awesome, but it's going to take more than wrapping paper and big red bow to convince your wife you bought it for her as a Christmas present
I have never seen a Terex dozer, but have worked on many Terex scrapers. I only ever loaded a Cat dozer with help from another D8, fortunately we were able to get the engine to run, so definitely not as difficult as this. Good luck with the restoration.
Those were some very skilled operators in the excavators. They made it look easy. Thanks again for your time and videos. Have yourself a great week.
Excellent video and task for sure to do!
We would love to see vids of the resto .cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺 👌

Only recently discovered your channel…Brilliant
It never ceases to amaze the incredible power of hydraulics! .. :)
Volvo = Viking. Swedish steel bites hard!
awsome loading there - good machine drivers. Looking forward to the rebuild videos.

That Thing Looks sick!
such a cool video, that Ec700 is a beast!.
Thanks for the share Marty
Clever and skilled operators doing what they do best.
Good job mate
Whenever we had to move equipment that had been sitting for years. We would spray down the undercarriage with diesel the day before. And about an hour before the move. It would roll much easier.
The restoration guys know they have a ten year retirement plan ahead of them. Hope their respective wives are thrilled to bits about that 🤩🤩🤩
@@notsevenfeettall 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent content as usual.
Always interesting.
check emergency shut air intake down flap on 8v71 blower. Engine will never start if closed.
Happens alot.
Good to save ole Terex
this is good teamwork
The Hitachi made the day spinning the tracks. LOL Brilliant.
Hi Marty, from the UK
Would like to see a full restoration of this marvelous piece of machinery

Reminds me when I was playing with my toys when i was younger. I'm now 55. Big boys toys. Why are we like this us men. 👍👍
The 82 40 Terex was a big unit but I don't think it was 40 tons ,but anyway what awesome project to rebuild that cool piece of 2 Stroke Detroit history, really interesting
WOW THAT'S ONE HEAVY LOAD...GOOD ONE
Great footage Marty !!
There is a pretty decent green coat of paint underneath all that yeller.
Another excellent video of this dozer being saved bro. Safe travels down your way.
And good brakes !
Ive restored cars, bikes and trucks etc for twenty years (im 34) and its always heartwarming to see history being saved. keen to see the progress as it goes along
I've been chasing women way longer than that.....I doesn't necessarily mean I'm any good at it.

Wife's gonna love this parked in the driveway for the next 6 months 🤣
Well put buddy.
And look at how they chained it down at the end. Obviously worried that a wind gust might hit it and it might float away. :P
I'm glad you got the beast on the lowboy and moved.
Great videos as usual buddy , have a great and safe Christmas
Holy shit I can’t believe they did this with chains
Nothing small about the mining industry. Thanks for the vid.👍
Should be good fun unloading it too... more sphincter reflex moments to enjoy !!
Good stuff love it
Nice job 👍🏻.
I cant wait for part II: "140ton excavator pulling abandoned 70 ton excavator "
I was a little nervous about the bucket and chain being so high.
Some good nudging by the Hitachi.
Looking forward to seeing more of this job, those chains look a bit light on for the job bruh
watched ads for your happy holidays. maybe take us on a sound seeing tour?
Love this! 😍😍👍for the future 💖

Amazing how powerful those machines can be !
excavators are super handy machines............
gday marty. carnt wait to see the 8v71 run again. no sound like it.
I totally miss your heavy machine restorations. Maybe these guys have some hints where you could score your next project 😁
He promised the wife no more tractors - but not sure if that covers dozers etc

Placing that dozer in the right place on trailer very important. thanks for video.
Good thing they used a bungee chain!
I was looking at that myself! Yikes
I was gritting my teeth for sure!
Marty putting in a highway to his pad or just moving a mountain.. ;-)
Wow, yur going to the bigger machines.
Good luck with it.
Can't wait to hear that Detroit fire up.
3/8 chain for this is never going to cover it a second time, especially since the chains is now stiff as a board! My dad was pulling out stumps with his old D6 and I was helping and the first stump he pulled with that 3/8s chain made the chain stiff it was so stretched out. In the end and after another stretched stiff 1/2" chain he finally bought a 3/4" chain and that was so damned heavy to move around it pretty much took two guys to rig every pull, but it didnt stretch!
I believe there are heavy duty straps designed for this sort of work that are far superior to chain as they handle shock load much better and have higher load capacity. Chain snaps and when it does, very bad things happened as all the energy stored in the chain under great tension...that tensile force is converted into chain link shrapnel.
You were not there and don't know what size of chain it was.
Greetings from Minnesota USA!
Great post. Looking forward to seeing the whole process.
Thanks for taking time to make..love your channel
When I saw the first video, I thought it was yours. And it was with a mixture of jealousy and oh crap, what a monster. Lol. Good stuff!
