Just in case you haven't already figured out your audio.. I've been listening with headphones, and I think you lost the left side of your stereo input, just a few minutes before you lost audio completely.. Unless I'm mistaken, that suggests the plug on an external microphone started to fall out and only had 2/3 portions of it making contact.. Until it wiggled far enough that it wasn't making any contact? Idk, just thought I'd throw out my theory! Thank you for the enjoyable content!
@@jholliday212 Yes I think that's right. The common audio connectors with "steps" on the length of the connection, like 3.5 or 2.5 jacks, have the different channels on different steps. The left channel is usually on the very tip, so when it's not fully plugged in the left channel is lost first. A tip for anyone watching on a windows PC: Type "mono" into the search bar and it'll take you to an audio settings page where you can turn on mono audio, that makes all speakers work at times like this. I always turn it back off after though cause you loose the benefits of stereo.
@@jholliday212 I thought i was having a gotdam stroke... I had to check the mirror to see if i was drooping on one side... Glad it is just the audio plug or whatever... Fml... Sucks getting old.
Cant be overstated how critical Sam from Scrappy Industries is to the Diesel Creek channel. He seems ready with a smile no matter how crappy the job is, what a great guy.💯
Might be the cynic in me, but I always notice how he's always there to help Matt but I never see the opposite happening on Sams channel, or any videos on this channel about helping Sam. I hope he's throwing a couple bucks Sams way at the very least.
Awesome to see the D8 sorted again, thanks for taking the extra effort to share the journey with us. Don’t worry about the audio issues, the dubbed voiceover and music montage was an excellent alternative 👍
For me the audio is "no worries" Matt. Stuff happens, I enjoy your videos no matter what. You'll get it all figured out. It is still a thumbs UP video for me! 👍
parts of your audio has only been L channel for parts of your last few videos. so i would check your plugs are fully seated, then the cables themselves for kinks. as both the above will cause these issues. thanks for the content.
yeah, i started checking my earphones and windows settings for why my leftie only has audio, should of checked another video instead. 😁 Spoils the ASMR for us old diesel lovers. @@chrisoakey9841
This comment makes me wonder if my hearing is abnormal. I wear headphones and the left/right channel problem actually makes it physically unpleasant and I had to stop. So, either my hearing sensitivity is really out of whack, or for some reason people like to give suuuper sugar coated feedback. I like this channel but I couldn't watch this video and I'm hoping he gets it fixed soon.
Maybe have a 2nd camera going when filming, set to ultra low video quality to optimize sd card, just as an audio backup. And/or a continuous record (with overwrite) digital audio recorder on a battery bank. Over on Fab Rats channel, they've had to pull audio from their security cameras a few times when their main filming rig lost sound. Voice overs and music are ok also. :-) .
@@chrisoakey9841 To me it looks like Matt using 2 wireless mics connected to one receiver and each of them writes audio only to one channel. Not an expert on audio equipment, but judging on the fact that Matt is audible only on right channel, and left channel becomes audible only when other guy starts talking or really loud things happening (like pony motor running) looks like audio equipment is running in the mode that allows connecting 2 transmitters to single receiver, but tradeoff is that you get only mono audio for each mic combined into single stereo track. Matt needs to extract each channel to separate track before using it.
This brings memories as a young fella when I operated a harman face shovel loading gravel when a cable broke and most of the truck drivers went for a walk and left me to it . I went on to become a grader operator and an owner operator in Australia love the show matt
Hey Matt, this video came at the perfect timing for me. My wife and I just had a baby last Monday and we are still at the hospital dealing with preeclampsia. It has been rough days with sleepless nights BUT I woke up and saw the video notification and boy was it awesome to watch with a little breakfast. Thanks and God bless you!
Just started watching the vid, but immediately noticed Sam wearing the Cutting Edge Engineering merch. Love to see the cross over action on my favorite youtube channels.
The end of the video is like a "silent era" movie, but in color, with the music on top. Next time if you loose sound just add that classical music and turn the video into black and white and it will feel like you planned it :D Great video as always. Keep me coming!
@@DieselCreekepic vid to see the teamwork and knowledge to keep em running......ever consider you act as a CAT CONSULTANT OR HOLD REPAIR SEMINARS¿???😊😊😊
Map it's okay that the video stop having audio on it but that's okay at least the D8 back up and running and running like it's supposed to and you help and Sam out all right this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless and have a great week and keep up the good videos just so you know the soundtrack is fine too
That was a missed opportunity right there - you and Sam could have done a "bad lip reading" of the remaining work. Would have been hilarious I'm sure! Great video as always Matt thanks for your effort sharing all this great old machinery.
@FishFind3000 seems he's doing one or two a week, that's all I remember since I sub'd the channel. Maybe a bit less consistent on the timing. I'm amazed at how much content he's producing as a one-man show. Oh, and have a life too.
Am I the only one that thought they watched a video of Matt changing the cables on the D8 earlier this summer? DAMMMMM that TD25 is a BIG machine. I thought that D8 was big but F........ Awesome content Matt, sound or not!
The TD25 is in the same size and class as a D8 of the same years. I am actually needing a new engine for my TD25B, same engine and everything as the TD25C , they didn't really change much between them. International was way ahead of the game by decades with their planetary steering, my TD25 would run circles around D8's, mine is just over 80,000 pounds with rippers and a semi-U blade.
Im glad to see two good friends working together to accomplish a goal together. San teaches matt. So that the struggle isn't so much i bet there is a lot of editing because of them picking on each other even though it's in fun
You need to install a spring loaded arm with a hand on it just behind the operators seat, when the blade goes past the OMF point it trips the hand and smacks the operator up the side of the noggin. 😝
Oh that is cool so the D8 is Cable Driven the winch pulls the blade up and down that is neet so this machine doesn't use hydraulics for the blade Cool as heck Matt 😮 21:55 @Diesel Creek
You need to ask Vinnie and the Semi Super Villains to craft you a "No Go Go Pro" tune for these types of occurrences. Got them No Go Go Pro blues ! ! ! Great work Matt! "LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". God forbid you should be running around with a loose "LIKE" button !
My question is why you guys don’t restore the dozers a little elbow grease and paint would go a long ways.when I restored my tractor I went all the way. Now it looks showroom new and runs like a charm.
The way I was taught to lace our D6 was to lay the cable out the front, lace it through to the drum, then tie off to a tree and use the drum to pull the machine towards the tree and spool up on the drum nice and tight. Then put in the cable dog on the blade.
Nice work on the old bugger, but when you were spooling on the new wire there should have been one person to guide the wire corectly on the drum, as it was spoole you will get kinks on the wire caused by the static pressure on it when the blade is lifted and the wire is tight. Im an old merchant sailor and i have changed a lot of wires in my time, keep up with your nice channel, best regards from Norway.
I suggest that some research would show that the round platform just above the top shive is to carry a spool of cable, that feeds to the front wedge. The purpose is to periodically cut a lenth off the winch end of the cable, which moves the high wear sections of the cable, prolonging the total life of the cable. I enjoy watching you saving these old cable machines, there were a few around when I was young, did work with a few, mostly cranes and pull scrapers.
I love your show. I am a retired painter and drywall 87 year old man. Over 56 years working my trade I have painted heavy equipment. D8 fully cleaned. 5 gallons. Two heavy coats.
Love the Videos keep em coming. You're one of my favorite UA-cam channels. I recently rewatched all your videos. I'm looking forward to seeing the Heating System installation. Remember: Winter Is Coming.
Dude I’ve been following you for few years now and I love your channel. Great job on the D8. Can’t wait till you resurrect a Mack B81 Dump truck with 20speed Maxitorque trans.
You're not the only one with audio problems. Seems to happen to a lot of YT creators. Guess it's just par for the course. Nice save with some decent music though! Thanks for sharing Matt!
Those of us who are real fans of your channel know that you always do your best to make sure that you provide quality content. Your stuff is usually top notch.
Hey mate if that audio shit happens again, feel free to do some more voice over and let us know what’s happening and what you think you were talking about! :D
Too bad about the audio at the end. Also, when you do your audio mix, check to make sure all the dialogue is centered, a large portion of your lav mic audio in this one is right channel only, and for headphone users like me it's quite strange to watch/listen in one ear. Love the content, I watch every video you post!
You have got to fabercobble a tooth to go in that blade. You went to all the trouble to get it running, please finish it.. Thanks either way love your vids.
C&C Equipment has a device for working with a big sledgehammer. A bar with another one welded 90 degrees on it. Your assistant can safely hold the bar while you whack on it
Sam's TD25 brings me back to cutting my teeth on heavy dozers. I am 56, and it was old when I was learning on it a military surplus TD25. Being an old military unit, it had a second seat with a machine gun mount to the right of the operators seat. This machine was a beast...
Great to see the old gal back in action. Any reason why you didn’t align the cable on the drum to ensure even layers? Having that cable all bunched up like that will cause the cable to deteriorate faster over the years. 20:54
Great video Matt, no worries about the audio. Glad to see you got the new cable installed. She can push dirt just as good as before. Thanks again for taking us along.
That is the definition of trust, when you hold the punch and your friend swings the sledgehammer. I was holding a punch for my boss in high school and he was swinging the sledgehammer driving in form stakes. On swing the head of the hammer flew past my head, I don’t know whose eyes were bigger after it happened. I was done holding the punch. Thanks for the Videos, Matt and Sam.
Love me some D8 content. Those D8s are monsters. Go pros have gotten worse over the past few years about files corrupting or losing audio or video. Might be time to look into a different brand of camera.
Hello, at Time code : 20.43 , by my experience, when you "in" the cable on the winch, guide it during the 1st ""couch"', take that care that the cable is strictly joined in order that the 2 "tour" will go touch to touch and so on on th 3 tour.. the cable will not be urted by that (hope that my english words are right ).🤐🤨🤔😉😊 Nice vidéo i like those "old" machine.!!🙂 Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍
Howdy Sam and Matt good to see ya both making another awesome video Love watching my two favorite channels working together to fix the old iron that is greatly apart of AMERICAN HISTORTY!!!
Wow with the blade 70k holy smokes that's a heavy Girl on the Video she don't look that big the d8 looks bigger on the video i will have to check out sams video thanks for the link and sharing Matt 1:30 @Diesel Creek
That double hammer technique really works well as it gives you a bigger target to swing at. I used to straighten instrument panels that kept getting bent due to a heavy part by using a mallet to tap a ball peen hammer held against the high spot. Worked every time!
I don't know. I want to say that many UA-camrs have some technical difficulties now and then. Only, they never really show it. You, on the other hand, "here's the rest of the stuff, it's muted so enjoy some added music!". Like, I appreciate the transparency. And still enjoyed the rest of the video!
I love the dynamic you and Sam have, reminds me of my old workplace in a shipyard everyone taking the piss out of each other and having a laugh to get through the day.
I've been catching up on all your videos. I'm amazed at your knowledge and feel for the engines and adjuncts. I grew up around these old machines. My dad was with International Harvester for nearly forty years. I used to play on these machines when they were new in the showroom when I went into work with him on a Saturday ( Don't tell OSHA!) I was no more than eight. I follow along with you and old memories come back as you diagnose the problems. I guess something stuck in the back of my brain as I was the kid freezing my butt off in february holding the drop light and fetching the tools.
Thanks, this video brings back a few memories for me. I helped change the cable on our old D8 around 1980, except our audio wasn't filled music 😉. Amazingly, when the everything is adjusted properly the cable blade operates very smooth and flawlessly.
Check out the Sam’s video on the TD25 on his channel youtube.com/@ScrappyIndustries?si=tDVgaNv39YSCUgFY
Yes two videos to watch now Matt & scrappyindustries happy 😊
Any luck on that roller video we keep getting teased with Matt. That big ol orange roller just looks interesting.

He does have a very friendly appearance. I love watching his videos to.
The reason that wedge was so tight was you two blocked it

My dad had D8s and 619 cable scrapers. Whenever a cable broke the operator had to help fix it. Operators learned not to break cables very quickly!!
Listening to Semi Supervillains while watching Matt and the compadres work on big iron is always a win win😊.AL B.

Great collaboration with Scrappy excellent video awesome content thank you for sharing this six stars
That was nice for Vinnie and the Boys to drop what they were doing and come over and help out with the audio.😊😊😊
When you started with the double hammer I heard the "dun dunt da dun" riff from Shake Hands With Danger.
Great to see the D8 up an at 'em.
It's amazing you produce so many videos and have as few audio issues as you do. So much of what you do is one-off - no retakes possible.

Would love to see you do a full restoration video series on this one. Great content as always!
You and Sam keep one upping each other, and in a couple years we're gonna be watching yall working on some truly MASSIVE mining equipment.
Good work Guys! Always Fun to watch you and Sam’s Videos!
Nice to see the D8 blade working again! Such a simple mechanism and amazingly durable. What a journey of discovery you boys are on!
My question is why you guys don’t restore the dozers a little elbow grease and paint would go a long ways.when I restored my tractor I went all the way. Now it looks showroom new and runs like a charm.
Enjoyed it to the end. Great content as usual. Really admire your work. Thanks!
That international dozer of sams is a beautiful looking machine.
Good morning Matt and thumbs UP!!
The way I was taught to lace our D6 was to lay the cable out the front, lace it through to the drum, then tie off to a tree and use the drum to pull the machine towards the tree and spool up on the drum nice and tight.

Happy sunday Matt
Saving all your videos for a long flight on Wednesday, will literally make time fly watching your channel 😂 👍
Nice work on the old bugger, but when you were spooling on the new wire there should have been one person to guide the wire corectly on the drum, as it was spoole you will get kinks on the wire caused by the static pressure on it when the blade is lifted and the wire is tight. Im an old merchant sailor and i have changed a lot of wires in my time, keep up with your nice channel, best regards from Norway.
You might not be the greatest sound engineer but, you sure know your heavy equipment.
Thanks for sharing Matt.
I suggest that some research would show that the round platform just above the top shive is to carry a spool of cable, that feeds to the front wedge. The purpose is to periodically cut a lenth off the winch end of the cable, which moves the high wear sections of the cable, prolonging the total life of the cable. I enjoy watching you saving these old cable machines, there were a few around when I was young, did work with a few, mostly cranes and pull scrapers.
The perfect time for a morning upload. Keep ‘em coming Matt
Matt that was great I no when you and scrappy ind. Get together it is going to be good thank you for sharing and your time.

That double hammer technique really works well as it gives you a bigger target to swing at. I used to straighten instrument panels that kept getting bent due to a heavy part by using a mallet to tap a ball peen hammer held against the high spot. Worked every time!
I don't know. I want to say that many UA-camrs have some technical difficulties now and then. Only, they never really show it. You, on the other hand, "here's the rest of the stuff, it's muted so enjoy some added music!". Like, I appreciate the transparency. And still enjoyed the rest of the video!
I love the dynamic you and Sam have, reminds me of my old workplace in a shipyard everyone taking the piss out of each other and having a laugh to get through the day.
I've been catching up on all your videos. I'm amazed at your knowledge and feel for the engines and adjuncts. I grew up around these old machines. My dad was with International Harvester for nearly forty years. I used to play on these machines when they were new in the showroom when I went into work with him on a Saturday ( Don't tell OSHA!) I was no more than eight.
I follow along with you and old memories come back as you diagnose the problems. I guess something stuck in the back of my brain as I was the kid freezing my butt off in february holding the drop light and fetching the tools.
Awesome Cat 8 Really enjoy watching old machines back up and running! Thank you for sharing! 👍
Thanks, this video brings back a few memories for me. I helped change the cable on our old D8 around 1980, except our audio wasn't filled music 😉. Amazingly, when the everything is adjusted properly the cable blade operates very smooth and flawlessly.
