Buying and Fixing a Cheap V8 Dump Truck: Will It Climb My Steep 6km Driveway? Or Die Trying...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- I bought a cheap, rusty V8 tip truck with mechanical issues and had it dropped off at the bottom of my steep 6km mountain driveway. Over three days, I battled breakdowns and repairs to get it up to my workshop. Watch as I tackle the clutch failure, engine problems, and more to see if this old beast can make it to the top!

I don’t know what’s more impressive, your ingenuity in getting that truck up there or the fact that you stopped many times to set up the camera!

@@neilmcalester personally I’m appreciative that he shows the good and the bad,awesome attention to detail bro,it’s gotta be hard making a video,I do and they are one take wonders,I do mine for my kids after I’m gone being older.
Every time the camera angle changed, I was thinking, 'How is he going to get it back into gear to get it going again?' I wonder how many people reading this comment have had to resort to starting a vehicle in gear because they could not disengage the clutch? I have had to do it several times, but I'm 75, and vehicles were way less reliable when I was a lad.
@@TrevorDennis100 Maybe less reliable but at least they were fixable unlike todays computer controlled nightmares! 😅
@@TrevorDennis100 My stepson was amazed at how I was able to drive his car stuck in third gear when he called me for help - feathering the clutch for the take off and coasting/lugging when I had to slow down until we got it home a few miles away
A long time ago, somewhere in a factory in Japan, they put a clutch pipe on the factory floor and built a truck around it....
😂
No joke, they go in the frame first, all the lines in the C channel do.
😂 I’ve worked on a lot of machinery with that design, personally I like to think there’s a special place in hell for the engineer who thought that was the right place for a fitting.
Uhh, just for everyone who doesn't know
.. What's a clutch pipe?
@@fhqwgibthe steel section of the hydraulic hose running between the clutch master and slave cylinders.
I really love your calm and relaxed approach - no problems for you only solutions.
You make UA-cam a better place for sure!
You aren't seeing whats been edited out. 😁
@@AgnemonsExactly ! 😅
That thought crossed my mind too. Had a giggle reading your comment@@Agnemons
It won't be long before you have a couple of dedicated helpers - as soon as their feet can reach the pedals and their arms are strong enough for gears and steering! What a superb start to life at an early age.
Hahaha the great old kiwi understatement! " a bit disconcerting"...
Thanks Marty. Got my dose of home. When i miss home watching something like Marty sorts that out.
Well, Marty, at least it's not a tractor. Good job sorting those issues coming up the drive.
I love how you edited out all the swearing every time it died and replaced it with ambient background noise. Very clever!
😂 yes some words we're cut from the final edit.
@@MartyT😅
It would be one continuous beep, a bit like the low air alarm on constant if that was me. The truck would also have mysteriously rolled off the edge in a blaze of fire...All the best from Ireland ☘☘
Piss funny,personally I would have left that in,I get frustrated easily.
@@MartyT I remember my old man working on his International ACCO tipper for days on end, my god he used to get angry with that truck the frustration would build to such a pressure the blue words were endless and colorful. I just thought you had the patience of a saint and didn't swear much had no idea you were editing out the bad words makes me feel better knowing all is as it should be.
The young crew are delightful! Growing up quickly !! 🙌🏻
I suspect your "a bit disconcerting coming up the track" was a major understatement lol.
Funny should have hooked old dozer on it and pulled it up
Marty, you're just like my dad who always saved old machinery with the patience of Job .🤗👍
@@gerry-p9x ... Camarata-style, getting another, even bigger dozer or loader to push : "... these things get bent and dinged up all the time for no reason at all ...." 😆
Marty. Further proof that you are absolutely barking mad. Please never change , your problem solving skills are legendary!
😂
I cheered when I saw the truck drive through the house gate. 🎉 I'm grateful for all the extra camera moves and setups. 🎥
It was truly a time to rejoice! Yay, it's finally arrived due to sheer perseverance of Marty! Loved seeing the children helpers in the end... they're growing up!
He should make some sort of mechanical artwork on the two wooden posts by the entrance. Would look kinda cool.
Another outstanding maintainance video by our wonderful Kiwi friend, Mr. Marty T. Patience of an Angel, no pirate language at all, showing us the perils of purchasing very used equipment , expertly diagnosing the problems and using his pink cells to make necessary repairs. God bless him for his efforts of showing us old mechanical critters deserve 2nd or 3rd lives. Watch out for when his kids learn to drive all those toys, fun times ahead. :) Thanks Mr. T for your great videos, thanks from Maine.
If there ever was a moment I would have given up it was right there halfway up that hill! I wonder how you remain so calm Marty, I’d have been ffin & blindin every time it stopped, replacing a clutch pipe was incredible! You’re a true inspiration mate.
I am so glad that people neglect the basic maintenance of their equipment, you come a long and we get top drawer content.
Thanks for a lesson in patience, determination, and perseverance. I shall patiently wait for more.
A lesson for all of us!
This is one of my favourite channels on UA-cam
Absolutely
Couple of similar channels for you, similar problem solving minds.

@@RossBobby vicegrip garage ,bias plias and zip ties,Bruce from Australia on the big equipment kicks arse,western truck and tractor is a definite in the play list,this nasty whinny mechanic can fix the economy if they just let him,seriously he’s a bloody heavy machine guru on the tubes.Bitches and whines a bit but bro when I have to do it I’m a fuckin child crying the whole way through.no space bolts different size the usual shit.
Marty is special,I love his channel,it’s really organic how he does it,I’m in Arsestralia too so I’m bias but jeebus Christ he does well with fuckall,gotta give him that.
@@RossBobby Marty's kindred brothers!
@@svthorasailing4868 oooh nice, I haven’t seen a couple of those channels you listed, I’ll check them out. Cheers..
You're a good mechanic and great father! Kids need to see the good and bad of life. Allows them to grow up with that commodity we call experience. Their smiles ,sitting behind the wheel..great!!
„That should be an easy fix“ - famous last words I would say for any other person to say that. Not here, here I think „well, if he says so, that will probably BE an easy fix!“. Great perseverance 👍!
The Pakistani truck mechanics would be proud.... More seriously that's a hell of a job to do on the side of a mountain, a testament to your perseverance.
Hell yea!
You get an A+ for perseverance and not losing your cool! Well done, Marty.
Lovely kids. The dog seems interested in what's happening, too.
Seeing how tight it was just driving the truck up to your property and how close the wheels come to the edge, it'll scare the living daylights out of me to carting heavy machinery up and down the driveway!!
Love your videos, man been around for a long while and don’t plan on going anywhere. Always look forward to seeing you upload.
Little boys just love trucks. Awesome memories brought back.
Marty, mate, I swear you have the patience of a Saint!
The kids are adorable.
I'm sure they'll be able to drive the truck and all the other equipment before they even have their driver's licence.
You sir are a different breed of human and are always so impressive
👍 Super boulot, pas de blessure et le camion est arrivé en haut.
Impressionnant de calme et de logique, comme d'habitude.
Bloqué au milieu de la route : un tirefort et un arbre
Plus d'air : on regonfle
Prise d'air au carburant : on ressert
Plus de liquide d'embrayage, on répare le tuyau, on met le plein et on purge tranquille.
Encore Bravo pour le travail et la vidéo.
Great work. Love it when the kids (and dog) get involved. The look on their faces when they revved the beast.
Your patience is amazing, mate.
Good truck for the job .awesome
It's Marty's ingenuity, problem solving and patience that impresses me. I'd have been throwing spanners and using some choice language.
Someday, your daughter will impress a future mate with her technical knowledge, facility with tools, and fond memory for her dad who made sure she knew her way around all things mechanical, electrical and inventive. So glad to see you include her in these projects.
Marty, your a legend! I love your systematic approach to every problem, and your "never give up" attitude. Every young mechanic, engineer should watch your channel they would learn a hell of a lot in how to evaluate, and repair problems
The kids are getting big now! It’s good to see the children…😊
Thankyou 😊
Great job Marty! Training the kids as well! Ausum!🙂
I clapped and said well done Marty when you sorted out the issues as you always do👍👍
Having watched this channel for quite a while, I find it interesting to see the past projects being trotted out and used for the benefit of current projects.
Mate, using your dodgy clutch to get some good under truck footage is ballsy, respect
Great problem solving, and it's beautiful how you bond with your children by including them.
Your perseverance paid off. That is a very cool truck, Marty!
Yeah nah yeah, you can hear yourself saying “6km driveway”…? Most of us are happy with 6m of parking space…😂 Excellent job again Marty, enjoy your new addition! 🎉🎉
Nice little project to get the kids involved in Marty. Take the keys out, now that they know how to start it. I'd hate to see it slip into reverse accidentally.
This info is based on me putting the old mans Morris, thru a fence in Murchison as an inquisitive kid, many many years ago.. Take care.
If ever anyone deserved an Olympic medal, it is you! Perseverance, Persistence, Ingenuity, Tenacity... not an easy drive getting that truck in there let alone dealing with all the issues. Reminds me of some of the roads and places I used to go in with my father in 1950s pommie stuff on Banks Peninsula in the early 60s. And you still find time to make a video with incredible shots, no excess dialogue (so many could learn from you) and great editing (from someone who has taught videography at Tertiary level! And getting the kids involved (and even the dog!) Just so rewarding to watch. Iʻve had a day when things havenʻt gone right either... but after watching this... tomorrow had better watch out! Best UA-cam site about mechanical stuff bar none! And those old Mitsi are pretty hard to kill mechanically!
you had me on the edge of my seat, for the entire time, well done.
Marty, i love the way your babies already know how to start and figuring out things. My wife would be telling me..noooooo
I think Marty needs to do a Q&A vid!!!! So much we want to know about this calm, crafty kiwi bloke!
With Mrs Marty!!!
Years of watching Marty, and I've learned a couple things.. Perseverance and Patience... without fail, it's never about whining over a problem, it's always about finding a solution and getting on with it!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I’m exhausted watching that one Marty. 😂 Good one, tho. Kids and dog at the end is great! They appreciate dad’s addiction to buying old stuff and fixing it. Anyway, another great episode. Thanks.
Absolutely have the patience of a saint
Unless all the swearing was edited out 😂😂
However it is proof old stuff never dies it can ALWAYS be fixed
Years ago I proved to my dad that a well maintained older car was more reliable than buying new each year.
Hell yea Marty thats the content we like, the nitty gritty of you having to diy fix a truck on your sloped driveway, uncomfortable and dirty while we watch from cosy chairs. Great work! That keeps half a mil of us coming back
Another exciting episode in the World 🌍 of Marty T well done getting the ole rig up the hill safely. The best part of the day was having the beautiful family welcoming you and the new rig home.
You are a master repairer!! Each time you started up that hill and it died, I got a little more tense for you!! Great job!!
Hi Marty, top marks for all your work in getting the truck home, well done!! From UK.
Thank you for being an amazing Dad, the future people on this earth need goodness in their lives more than any other generation I can think of.
Bless you sir. 💛
Marty lad, thanks for another great video, but I have to say your children are a delight and are growing up so fast. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
These long videos are honestly the best, the absolute best content on UA-cam. Thank you Marty for this comfortable education!
Sounds so good at idle
They have gotten so big, you're a great mechanic, and a fantastic dad. I love watching your videos, good job sir.
0:07 nice JDM Nissan Diesel BigThumb 👍
Skill, knowledge, persistence paid off. I thought to myself that the engine trouble sounded like it was a fuel problem and then that is what you said so I thought I am not too dumb after all.
Crazy Marty Mobile Mechanic... you are an impressive, do all repair, clever person! Well done indeed!
Nice to see your kids growing up so fast mate
I bought an EcoFlow Delta Max and I'm really happy using it. You obviously get plenty of use out of yours 🙂. Thanks for the vid. Jim Bell (Australia)
They are good, I use mine all the time
Hey Marty you should consider making that clutch line out of hydraulic hose, in my experience with those metal line they tend to keep decaying, just A suggestion from one (truck) mechanic to another, perfect addition to the fleet!!!
Marty! You never cease to amaze me.. you are an inspiration, man.
We once bled the brakes on an old transporter trailer using the vacuum on a holden ute.
Old as in it had 36 ford brakes on all eight drums at the rear .
Worked a treat but you should have seen the 202 smoke on a diet of brake fluid.
It will be good when the lads old enough to be a useful offsider for things like this job .
In the 80's, If we knew someone was going for a drive down Queens St in Auckland, for a perv.
Leaving from the Grays Ave PSG Public Service Garage.
We would jack the car up and pour brake fluid down into the muffler.
About half way down Queens St, when the car had warmed up, looking up into the rear vision mirror, it would take a second to try and understand why the whole street had literally turned white and you couldn't see anything behind you!
Ahh the good old days......
That's a great truck! glad you got a good deal on her! I think it's going to be irresistible to get that roadworthy to go pick up new projects! 😊
Look what Dad brought home! Those big smiles are magic! Great truck Marty! Look forward to seeing it in action!! 👍
Nice way to finish the video with his son. The smile on his face when he's reviving up the engine is priceless!
G'day again from across the ditch Marty.
I never had any doubt you'd get that beast going.
I reckon an Angry Ram decal on the doors would be the finishing touch and pay homage to the angry one
What a feat! This ole truck proved challenging but nothing you couldn’t handle. Nicely done, Marty! You give us hope in this throw away era, that an old truck will be more than fine with a bit of ingenuity, effort, dedication and patience-informed skill! (More patience than I have with mechanics ..and definitely more skill! You’re an inspiration!) Good on you - well done 👍
Wauw again, patience ,knowledge and perseverance is your drive .
Really enjoyed your upload …….thanks !
VERY NICE TRUCK JUST SMALL REPAIRS NEED. YOU WILL GET IT GOING STAY STRONG YOUR THE MAN😊
Gotta love those "side of the road" repairs! Well done sir.
Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thats one mighty good sounding engine on that old girl, and I think she will be an asset in your capable hands Sir good luck with it.
I want this video to never stop!! So good to see you working along in your driveway to make this truck going. Appreciate every seconds!! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Well done kids … don’t tell Mum Dad’s got a new toy . Nice work as usual.
Brilliant in all departments. Inspiring to see how you actively involve your children in practical learning, they are so lucky. ❤
I live in Japan, and if you need some weird Japanese tractor part or something for that Mitsubishi truck from Yahoo Auctions shipped via Seamail, let me know - some things already made it to Canada for Hand Tool Rescue ☺
Thanks mate, good to know
How can I contact you?
Great fix along the drive!Worth it to see the smile on your kids faces.🙂 My grandson loves to turn wrenches with me while working on, well…..anything!!
Always nice when “it needs a new clutch” turns into “there’s a tiny rust hole in the clutch line” 😊
Nice work Marty, very ingenious bleeding technique, Love how the kids love being involved, doesn't get better than that. Thanks!
Keep up the good work , I like the way you've got your kids in on the act, two young Marty's in the making.
I'm glad you took the time to film the new addition to the fleet , all those different camera angles . The 2 problems , clutch and fuel system I was hoping they were easier fixes . Glad you got your 2 helpers interested , they looked pleased .
You have the patients of a saint. I would have pushed it over the edge about an hour in!
Me too!
I've been watching your videos for a number of years now, and honestly I think you've grown to the title of 'Master of the Apocalypse' with the knowledge, diagnosing and crafting capability you have.
Always fun to see what you do, and inspiring.
Your son's face when he was in the driver's seat? Pure joy. Thanks for the video.
Marty’s daughter had that sly smile like my daughter did when she got behind the wheel. Bet she’ll be driving that soon enough.
Your tenacity and mechanical ingenuity is exceptional even for a Kiwi who are some of the most Ingenius and tenacious humans around. How you remain on task setting up the camera is remarkable. 5/5 Banjos.
That looks like it'll be a sweet "little" truck to have around once you get it sorted out. I've always loved the look of trucks like that.
Congrats from the French Riviera ... think she'll come in very handy indeed. LOVE the 4 wheel steering ~ will help on your tight turns.
Marty you should restore the truck, right through to painting and reupholstering ! Would make a good multi episode video !
Your perseverance is always an inspiration.
Your a tenacious buggar Marty, love your work ethic mate, cheers from Bundy.
Love your resolved Marty. Not many would go to the extent and put in that much work to get something working again. You are a motivation to me, can't speak for anyone else. Keep on saving these machines/equipment. ❤❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
That’s a great thing for the farm, the tipping tray is the best for obvious reasons, will do a bit of everything, also good for loading up machinery, you only need much shorter ramps, I need a v8 8 wheeler now
Marty, you're one of the most patient mechanics I've seen! You and Andrew Camaratta just keep on until you get the problem sorted out. Kudos to you, my friend!
Awesome job Marty! I helped repair a leaking power steering pipe in a mitsi delica on Pitt Island while we were waiting for the plane to arrive, it also took us 3 hours to get out and braze!
Stamina, endurance, ingenuity, skills, and all other possible words describing your ability to reach your goals may not be enough. Kudos. The trainees will be valuable assets for future projects.
I too have found Pressure bleeding works way better than vacuum bleeding. What kindve brazing alloy did you use, looked like it flowed really easy . I’ve had good luck using 45% silver rod on high pressure hydraulic lines but it’s tricky on low pressure steel lines I use 8% silver solder with a high acid flux i’ve even soldered fuel tanks patching small holes using nickel strip from recycle lithium battery packs. Learning how to braze and solder steel is such a useful knowledge most ppl overlook. I’m happy to see you spread that knowledge cheers
