I've said it before but I'll say it again...... this guy doesn't get enough credit for his editing, keeps the story moving, there's lots of popular youtubers that could learn from AC.
Agree with you 100%. The amount of time that is put into his videos is amazing. Question: Is he really editing his videos or does he have someone that does that for him? My guess is he has someone that is doing all the editing so he can focus on video content.
@@ConstructionMachineryChannel He said in a "recent" video that all his editing is done by himself. That because it makes more sense. Each shot was shot for a purpose, it would took him too much work to detail everything he has in mind. Could have change since but I really doubt it. He seems to have let go a huge part of his previous activity and he doesn't release that often. It kinda make sense.
@@PilotoBrutus Matt's recovery is good but they definitely have some clickbait haha. A lot of words in all caps in their titles. "I do cars" is a good one or "south main auto" are another few NE USA channels about cars/ machines.
I agree, just some broken solder joints. Seen that a hundred times before. Please like the comment above so Andrew sees it and saves a lot of money! When the transmission works again, it's well worth it.
I love how he raced ahead of the lowboy to get the shot of him passing it, then pulled over to get a shot of it going down the road. It's the stuff like that that keeps me coming back to this channel. The production value is so, so good.
The best part is it's just raw footage aside from cutting some out, no real fancy editing. I'm with ya though he as always just shown him doing work and for whatever reason it works for me. No fancy stuff
This channel has been a constant source of entertainment for me for years. I tell people all the time about it and try to explain the content to them. “It’s just a guy and his dogs living in upstate New York. He buys heavy equipment, repairs it, breaks it then repairs it again.” A week later they can’t wait to tell me how much they love the channel. Keep it up man, you’re literally breaking new ground with this content and editing style.
@@chukwuemerie Hear! Hear!! I agree!! Nor does he hardly ever reply to anyone!! Except with his one word reply. “Thanks.” That, Is all I ever seen him say to anybody. One word reply. Wait. I take that back. “Thank You.” I have seen him say that. Those 2 words. “THANK YOU!”
@@chukwuemerie it would ruin the narrative. I wish it was more organic and not funded by youtube revenue and "subscribers" Makes it more lifelike. UA-cam is a censorous cancer in many cases, hate the fact they reward some, and silence others.
Cody is one helluva fit dog! He's been wide ass open, rain or shine or snow, right beside you on every off-road excursion, in every vehicle, in every video, since Levi showed him the ropes as a pup. So cool to now see him leading the younger generation, lol. Heavy equipment, the outdoors, and dogs... Love your content, Andrew.
In the olden days - pre-20th Century - when they said "We'll set the dogs loose on you if you try to run away," they weren't kidd'n. Can't outrun them.

Sure we do! When I started watching Andrew he had 450 k subscribers! Now he has over 1million baby! God bless Trump 2024 Thank you Justice Clarence Thomas
This was one of the best videos in a long time! large equipment, trucks and moving them around and then taking a huge six wheel dump truck up a mountain to move logs... epic, shame you couldn't sort the gearbox but cant wait to see the login machine in action, from the quick glimpse it looks super clean and tidy so lets hope it gets the job done! Mountains looking beautiful with the colour in the trees and the work on the drive clearly is helping ease the access. Great video as always and cant wait for the next update!
Andy I cant thank you enough for all the time you put in these videos, I really live my life trough you. thinking I could live like you, the reality is far from it for multiple reasons. So every time I see a notification, I get happy. Thank you man.
I feel like a man for changing my pickups alternator, AC is out here hotwiring a rock truck transmission. Dude is in a class of his own. Thanks for the upload, great video, as always you crushed it.
Andrew CAN fix just about anything, I think. The question is always SHOULD you fix it. You were able to break even, and you have lots of irons in the fire so sending it to its new home is the way to go. The one truly valuable thing you really do have a limit on is your own time.
I Had to comment on this because i drive those and the cat 770 haul trucks at the steel mill i work at now in texas. They are very reliable when working correctly i weigh in on the scales with 100000+ pounds with full load of slag. we extended the the beds up 4 feet so u can haul more material. Also on 2nd note they are a death trap with no working ac the air flow is trash in them with limited window movement. Maybe u can find another one in the future like i said they are a beast for their size!
Another great video and amazing drone views Andrew. I've heard of the American right to repair bill over here in the UK. It sounds like CAT deliberately make their ECU'S in a way that you need their service engineers to visit at ridiculous prices when a modular replacement DIY ECU swap would be the better option. I'm very surprised you've not got your own semi and lowboy like Jesse has. I'm sure it would make a quick return and pay for itself in no time.

The more likely case is the ECU is shared between several different configurations of truck, and you need it programmed to work correctly with that specific engine/transmission/sensor set. After all, an ECU from a Ford F150 isn't the same across all models even of the same manufacturing year. The price however is a little bit of BS - charging for mileage to the customer site, but they all do it that way.
Andrew I just wanted you to know you are truly an inspiration to a lot of people. Keep up the great work. I watch every video you make. They are great. Thank you.
Ive recently rebuilt an auto & it certainly wasn't a transmission fault or clutch packs. When those go it will still shift but you'll rev like you're in neutral. Id service a valve-body before i pulled a transmission out. Id clean and air-check solenoids before a valve-body, but in that truck's case id look at some of the programable features. I know its possible to set a CAT so it stays in first for site safety. Also, the little flash into 2 but doesnt shift is exactly what happens when this mode has been set.
Hey just want to give a "heads up" for watching Andy's channel: If you're like me, I skip all over the dang place on watching videos. Being a former coal/surface miner (ret) I like to watch a lot of dirt moving and mechanic work. So I usually look at the titles and skip to the most entertaining, for me. DON'T! You can't do that on his channel. He does so much more in these videos than the title contains. When I say that Andrew has more content than any other show, I mean it. I watch them all! Diesel Creek, Letsdig and his good friend Jesse Mueller (he's really good too!) He's prolly the best so far, in my opinion anyway. His subscribers attest to that. 1.14 M! He's a mud slinging, dirty handed, videographer who has really captured the masterful art of keeping his content entertaining at all points. One minute he's going break neck down a dirt road and the next he's figuring out which diode is bad on a plug. WTH! If this were a chick flick, you'd be crying one min and laughing the other. Bahaaaaa! He's a GoPro Pimp! Anyhoo........ I found the best process is just go to his channel and binge watch in sequence till you need a switch in subjects Lol That's my two cents! I promise, I do not know this guy. Just like his videos!
If you jump around on ACs channel he will have bought a new property, terraformed it and the seasons will have changed in like 3 min. Dude puts so much footage and progress into these uploads, he is truly one of a kind.

It always does my heart good to see that Andrew is still chugging along.

It’s kinda like that saying from ‘The Big Lebowski’: “The Dude abides.” Honestly, I hope Andrew never quits. At least not for a very long time.
I always learn something in his videos. I’ll never have a need for a dump truck like that, but I got all giddy when I saw the video was posted. Thanks Andrew!
It's what I would have done. Get it done before you get stuck. I would just put the selector into first gear, go slow and enjoy the ride. For some reason I deal with too many machines without brakes.
I have told this to dozens of people. One of my neighbor drop 1000 dollars on new batteries for equipment when I clearly told him to just buy some small solar panels and install them. For years he would jump start a lot of that stuff yet he never did install solar panels. Another neighbor has installed solar panels on anything that might sit for a day or 2 outside and has had great luck along with being able to start everything pretty darn easy.
Solar panels work great. Apart from the convenience of always having charged batteries, they pay for themselves by making the batteries last a lot longer. Just be aware that some cheap panels can discharge the battery in dark conditions. Make sure the panel has a blocking diode to prevent this.
Hello we are French and we are watching every of yours videos you got golden hands, everything you repair is giving those vehicles a new life. Waiting for the new video you are an angel
@@SalandFindles noknownsenseknowhow is the name of the channel, great content... guy makes me envious sometimes though he knows how to enjoy life.. got me wanting to move to philly hahaha
I remember the first episode I ever watched and I remember thinking this guy was a hack for the first few mins. I was so wrong, Andrew is a LEGEND. Love the videos Dude!
Thanks Andrew for sharing. Learn so much from this channel and is inspirational to get moving doing stuff! Love the dog shots and so does Buddy my Golden.
Video wise at least, first Letsdig18, then Dirt Perfect, and now Andrew Cararata, my 3 fav channels have themselves these fancy articulated dumptrucks. Life is good. 😁 Your Lady is not only pretty, mechanically capable, a skillful driver but is also a master truck whisperer, LOL. I was saying to myself as she got into the cab, watch this thing go with her at the controls.😆🤣
Thank you friend Andrew for sharing another of the odysseys that you have accustomed us to. You don't always win, there are times when things don't go well, but that's what it's all about. we have to keep going. Good luck in the next one.👍👍
"I'm going to have to do more than nothing to this", lol, if a driver don't keep their truck clean, they're probably not a very good truck-driver, your instincts are spot-on Andrew, 😉
HEY ANDREW I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. after watching for quite a while I believe i can help you with one of your on going situations with your equipment. ( JUMP STARTING ) My shop foreman was always having to jump long parked equpment,trucks etc and was getting frustrated in what it took sometimes to gain access the batteries,so he decided to mount plugs ( the heavy duty industrial equipment battery pack recharging plugs ) on each vehicle externally easy access but out of the way and through the grill of the service vehicle. So from that time forward when ever something needed a jump he pulled up to the vehicle pulled out his 15 foot long jumper wire ( made from the heavy duty charger wire and a plug on each end) put one plug into the service vehicle plug and the other in the equipments plug and charged/jumped the battery/batteries and never having to raise a hood or unbolt and open battery panels WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EXPENSE OF PLUG INSTALLS something to think about but the biggest thing my foreman thought was " Why the hell didn't I do this sooner?! "
@@AW-Services that's exactly what we used i just never knew where we got them from. but I did know for us having a bunch of equipment nothing made my mechanics happier then if they need to jump off the equipment or charge it took 15 seconds to hook everything and no more unbolting panels etc to gain access except changing out the batteries. said it earlier and will always say it WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE AND TIME INSTALLING
New truck, make one load, Sell truck I really enjoy any content that you produce Andrew. You do a fine job in whatever you tackle. May you have a great Independence Day 👍☮️🇺🇲
Really enjoyed this video even though the outcome to the truck wasn't as expected, but this is why the video is good. Things don't always go to plan. Keep the videos coming!
I do miss some of the work that you use to film with driveways, drainage, bridges and stuff. Any chance that is coming back? update on the castle build? Final result?
>1Million subscribers means he doesn't have to work on anything other than his own stuff unless he can get a video out of scrapping someone's mobile home or dragging their shed across their yard. His hard work has definitely paid off.
The really great thing about your shop Chad is that you made it deep. I’ve seen a lot of guys that build their shops and just as deep as a garage. I helped build a shop for my best mate and we designed it so that we can put in a lift and on the second bay we set it up so we can install a mezzanine. Now he’s on a budget just like you so a little bit at a time. But it’s soooo going to be worth it. Keep up with the videos. Your channel is tied with Diesel Creek. I’ve told all my mates about your channel and they think it’s awesome 😁
Have been watching you for quite a few years now (First video I remember watching was you being pulled over on road for a DOT inspection) that was along time ago lmao You have grown older but have not changed in your approach to life Equipment is bigger but about the same condition Keep the video's coming look forward to your next escapade lmao
Another amazing adventure with Andrew and his one of many awesome machines…..job well done and interesting video…..you never disappoint……. Nice new lil dog…….👍👍👍😁😁😁😉😉😉
Great looking forward to seeing the Bell truck video looks like this rock is a keeper, and BTW STOP jumping off your equipment, I drove trailers for 35 years always jumping off the tractor back of trailers and loading docks until I had knee surgery on both knees, find a way to climb off don't end up like me.
Hey Andrew I just wanted to say thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. I've been watching you video for a long time now and always looking forward to your next ones you will make. :D I've even started to start on one of my own project (electric golf cart from the 80s) only bc of the good deal I got on it and the inspiration you had on me . But I fully support you and wanted to say thank you for making videos that a lot of people out here can relate to. :D
This would have been a great place for a collab with pine hollow diagnostics or eric O at southmain auto. I think he was on the right track with the ecu.
Andrew, I have a Porsche 911, it has a Bosch ECU. My top was leaking during a bad storm and the drivers side was flooded inside, where the ECU is under the seat...a p-wrench friend took it apart and cleaned the contacts and tracers up and it worked perfect since...Porsche also wanted a lot for the ECU. I have owned several Caterpillar machines and the parts are not cheap by any means, and in many cases Cat doesn't have the parts anymore either. This is to say, open your ECU, clean it all up and look for any obvious corrosion, you might find you don't need that hot wire anyway...but touche' on the fix, it works.
You do some of the most simplistic interesting things Andrew, the editing is awesome too. I won't watch a lot of other youtubers 30+ min videos, but yours are always edited nicely and full of cuts that keep you watching!
Love your content man👌 I get there isn't enough hours in a day but love watching all your stuff cuz it's just honest use of stuff you buy like the log grapple video. That was awesome! Appreciate ya and can't wait to see some footage of that forwarder 💪👍 much love from VT
Hello Andrew, at 8:41 you notice a sight glass is showing no oil and fill it up, so I wonder if you checked it again after running the truck? I was wondering if that sight glass was for the transmission? Also, It would be polite to introduce your assistant some day. You didn't introduce your Sister either and it seems odd the dogs have names and the humans don't.
Who made you the arbiter of what is "polite" , and what is "odd" ? More like , it's really just your desire to know their names. If Andrew wants to share all that, he will, I guess. As for my 2 cents, the machinery and the K9s are usually more interesting than most humans, anyway.
Brown, it would be more polite if you minded your own business. You don't contribute anything to his channel so why should he introduce anyone on your say so?
Haha, soon you can start your own gold mine Andrew! XD The right equipment for it is already there. Was actually wondering when we whould see more of this Truck since i saw it in the background of some other videos. And i can already say: The batteries sit on a REALLY good spot on this Truck! But i get a feeling that the Truck stop running at the end may had something to do with the fact you said it was really HOT in the cabin. Some machines tend to stop working when they get too warm or overheat and after they cooled down they work again. So the problems "maybe" could be a major cooling problem. Anyways i can see why the truck only had 92 work hours since his last checkup 2018. Someone just didnt wanted to fix it. And if you look for a good replacement of the truck, try to get a large tractor, like a John Deere or Case, with a half-pipe trailer. (Maybe a hooklift, that whould make the trailer even more useful. Because you can have one trailer and 5-6 containers/beds to switch) I see those a lot around here on construction sites and such where you cant use a normal dump truck that's made for roads. Its a good side income for farmers when they need some extra money.
I don't know that I've seen Andrew sell a piece of equipment before. Of course, I don't know that I've seen him buy a piece of equipment where the manufacturer has to come out and program something to the machine. Glad he was able to find someone that was willing to pay what he paid knowing it needed the money sunk into it.
When will you do another hill top road fixing? Last one was satisfying and relaxing. I am thanking you for your videos. You have no idea what impact it has done to my life. I'm a Army Vet w/ptsd and loved every clips you have. Thank you.

AC is a straight shooter!
Issue is DRY / CRACKED solder joints in the ECU. Hence why it works sometimes. Simple reflow of the solder will get it back to full operation.

I agree with Jack, its ur view of the country that's circling the toilet pal.
And at least 36 other people.

Like all your hard work and mechanical skills..extra great to see the LADY driving the big machine.
The best part about AC videos besides everything is we get to see equipment up close that I never even knew existed.
Absolutely love your videos
Could watch them all day From UK 🇬🇧
Eh up I'm up near whitby fantastic bloke ain't he .
I’ve been watching for 6 years and you still don’t disappoint. Thank you for the awesome video! You are very inspiring:)
"Maybe there's supposed to be a pin there" is one of my favorite things you've ever said! Great truck!
Takes them out later. :) I wonder if they were only to be locked when transported.
I always learn something in his videos. I’ll never have a need for a dump truck like that, but I got all giddy when I saw the video was posted. Thanks Andrew!
I love how there was no hesitation from both of them when Andrew said she should take the broken rock truck back down the mountain.
whoever she is, she is fearless.
Well he did tell her to wear the seat belt! She was gutsy to do that, wonder how the brakes were.
@@Canadian_Living_in_Mexico Good match.
It's what I would have done. Get it done before you get stuck. I would just put the selector into first gear, go slow and enjoy the ride. For some reason I deal with too many machines without brakes.
@@arthurr8670 non road legal vehicles don't need brakes...
invest in some 5 to 10 watt solar panels and youll be amazed how good they are at maintaining batteries while the equipment is sitting unused
I have told this to dozens of people. One of my neighbor drop 1000 dollars on new batteries for equipment when I clearly told him to just buy some small solar panels and install them. For years he would jump start a lot of that stuff yet he never did install solar panels. Another neighbor has installed solar panels on anything that might sit for a day or 2 outside and has had great luck along with being able to start everything pretty darn easy.
Solar panels work great. Apart from the convenience of always having charged batteries, they pay for themselves by making the batteries last a lot longer. Just be aware that some cheap panels can discharge the battery in dark conditions. Make sure the panel has a blocking diode to prevent this.
Hello we are French and we are watching every of yours videos you got golden hands, everything you repair is giving those vehicles a new life. Waiting for the new video you are an angel
23:14 is the only time I've ever heard Andrew even come close to cursing and OF COURSE it was coz he was worried he'd lost his dog. Gotta love it.
For a dozer purchased at scrap prices, that thing started up and seemed to run pretty damn nice.
He did a video getting that to start. It wasn’t easy. No nonsense how to.
@@AndrewCamarata Whose video was that? Jesse?
@@AndrewCamarata I just saw the rock truck today while on the highway. It looked exactly like the semi that hauled it too.
@@SalandFindles noknownsenseknowhow is the name of the channel, great content... guy makes me envious sometimes though he knows how to enjoy life.. got me wanting to move to philly hahaha
Andrew does more on his own than a team of 8 don't know how he does it excellent content
Some body mentioned in an earlier video that the young lady is his one employee.
@@armstronggeorge1533 she is, Andrew even said it.
@@armstronggeorge1533 "employee"
I remember the first episode I ever watched and I remember thinking this guy was a hack for the first few mins. I was so wrong, Andrew is a LEGEND. Love the videos Dude!
Thanks Andrew for sharing. Learn so much from this channel and is inspirational to get moving doing stuff! Love the dog shots and so does Buddy my Golden.
You know the vehicle is badass when the hood is hydraulically operated. Shame it didn't work out
Glad he showed that thought that was pretty cool too!
Out of all the things that also called my attention.
Video wise at least, first Letsdig18, then Dirt Perfect, and now Andrew Cararata, my 3 fav channels have themselves these fancy articulated dumptrucks. Life is good. 😁 Your Lady is not only pretty, mechanically capable, a skillful driver but is also a master truck whisperer, LOL. I was saying to myself as she got into the cab, watch this thing go with her at the controls.😆🤣
Dont forget Diesel Creek
Speaking from experience, the best kind of woman is one who will get on a rock truck without complaint.
its like He's getting ready to be on that show Gold Rush, going in hard and making 500oz of gold in his first season!
Smart lady. "We should take this down now!" 😊
Thank you friend Andrew for sharing another of the odysseys that you have accustomed us to. You don't always win, there are times when things don't go well, but that's what it's all about. we have to keep going. Good luck in the next one.👍👍
I like Blue. He's such a mellow dog.
He needs to be, chasing Cody all day!
Ya got to appreciate a professional trucker skills .... Beautiful Western Star.
"I'm going to have to do more than nothing to this", lol, if a driver don't keep their truck clean, they're probably not a very good truck-driver, your instincts are spot-on Andrew, 😉
Crazy pups thank goodness for the tracker setup.
Dude is out here living the life. Big toys, dogs and fixing shit. Doesn't get much better.
I can’t believe Andrew’s knowledge of all things that move….. very impressive 😬
HEY ANDREW
I have enjoyed your videos for a long time.
after watching for quite a while I believe i can help you with one of your on going situations with your equipment. ( JUMP STARTING )
My shop foreman was always having to jump long parked equpment,trucks etc and was getting frustrated in what it took sometimes to gain access the batteries,so he decided to mount plugs ( the heavy duty industrial equipment battery pack recharging plugs ) on each vehicle externally easy access but out of the way and through the grill of the service vehicle. So from that time forward when ever something needed a jump he pulled up to the vehicle pulled out his 15 foot long jumper wire ( made from the heavy duty charger wire and a plug on each end) put one plug into the service vehicle plug and the other in the equipments plug and charged/jumped the battery/batteries and never having to raise a hood or unbolt and open battery panels
WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EXPENSE OF PLUG INSTALLS
something to think about
but the biggest thing my foreman thought was " Why the hell didn't I do this sooner?! "
You can see from the video that it has a plug, I think that he just doesn't have 24V charger to connect to it.
Anderson power pole connectors do make life easier
@@AW-Services that's exactly what we used i just never knew where we got them from. but I did know for us having a bunch of equipment nothing made my mechanics happier then if they need to jump off the equipment or charge it took 15 seconds to hook everything and no more unbolting panels etc to gain access except changing out the batteries. said it earlier and will always say it WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE AND TIME INSTALLING
That funnel you used for the Hydralic oil was tops! I want one.
I bought one a tractor supply, if I remember correctly.
New truck, make one load, Sell truck I really enjoy any content that you produce Andrew. You do a fine job in whatever you tackle. May you have a great Independence Day 👍☮️🇺🇲
im impressed you were able to offload this to someone so quickly...
Really enjoyed this video even though the outcome to the truck wasn't as expected, but this is why the video is good. Things don't always go to plan. Keep the videos coming!
Andrew should really get into that gold mining stuff, he has already everything.
In NYS, any precious metals found within the states borders are property of the state. Not even kidding. Private property or not.
@@YourUncle8501 Did not know that...
@@YourUncle8501 the fuck?!?
@@bread-gz3rl Yep. Thats NY for you
Cody runs like he's training for a full 26 mile marathon haha. Also, I really like that hi vis hoodie/jacket you were wearing.
Andrew treats his machines like they’re his future kids. Respects and loves them minus the selling part. great video
6:30 “maybe supposed to be a pin there” 😂 thanks for the LOL Andrew.
I do miss some of the work that you use to film with driveways, drainage, bridges and stuff. Any chance that is coming back? update on the castle build? Final result?
>1Million subscribers means he doesn't have to work on anything other than his own stuff unless he can get a video out of scrapping someone's mobile home or dragging their shed across their yard. His hard work has definitely paid off.
Fab! Who else is here early? 🙂 5 weeks time I will be on holiday for three weeks in upstate New York close to where Andrew is 😌

"I wouldn't call that fixed, but it is working." Great quote, like "It's not just good, it's good enough!"
The really great thing about your shop Chad is that you made it deep. I’ve seen a lot of guys that build their shops and just as deep as a garage. I helped build a shop for my best mate and we designed it so that we can put in a lift and on the second bay we set it up so we can install a mezzanine. Now he’s on a budget just like you so a little bit at a time. But it’s soooo going to be worth it. Keep up with the videos. Your channel is tied with Diesel Creek. I’ve told all my mates about your channel and they think it’s awesome 😁
You never disappoint Andrew! Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have been watching you for quite a few years now (First video I remember watching was you being pulled over on road for a DOT inspection) that was along time ago lmao You have grown older but have not changed in your approach to life Equipment is bigger but about the same condition Keep the video's coming look forward to your next escapade lmao
I think when you buy a rock truck it's because you've officially owned all the things you can own.
Another amazing adventure with Andrew and his one of many awesome machines…..job well done and interesting video…..you never disappoint……. Nice new lil dog…….👍👍👍😁😁😁😉😉😉
please don't stop buying crap, it is entertaining as hell seeing you fixing these
I love seeing new pieces of equipment in the background of Andrew’s videos because I know one of these videos will come along
Great looking forward to seeing the Bell truck video looks like this rock is a keeper, and BTW STOP jumping off your equipment, I drove trailers for 35 years always jumping off the tractor back of trailers and loading docks until I had knee surgery on both knees, find a way to climb off don't end up like me.
Hey Andrew I just wanted to say thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. I've been watching you video for a long time now and always looking forward to your next ones you will make. :D I've even started to start on one of my own project (electric golf cart from the 80s) only bc of the good deal I got on it and the inspiration you had on me . But I fully support you and wanted to say thank you for making videos that a lot of people out here can relate to. :D
AC makes order from chaos. Very satisfying to watch.
This would have been a great place for a collab with pine hollow diagnostics or eric O at southmain auto. I think he was on the right track with the ecu.
Andrew, I have a Porsche 911, it has a Bosch ECU. My top was leaking during a bad storm and the drivers side was flooded inside, where the ECU is under the seat...a p-wrench friend took it apart and cleaned the contacts and tracers up and it worked perfect since...Porsche also wanted a lot for the ECU. I have owned several Caterpillar machines and the parts are not cheap by any means, and in many cases Cat doesn't have the parts anymore either. This is to say, open your ECU, clean it all up and look for any obvious corrosion, you might find you don't need that hot wire anyway...but touche' on the fix, it works.
You are a true artist!!!!
Excellent job and video production. Lots and lots of work
"She's a beaut, Clark." ....Seriously, a nice machine, Andrew.
The new puppy is so adorable and glad cody now has a little friend he can go adventure around with.
Loved your trip to the store with the dogs
We're watching a quarry slowly develop
You do some of the most simplistic interesting things Andrew, the editing is awesome too. I won't watch a lot of other youtubers 30+ min videos, but yours are always edited nicely and full of cuts that keep you watching!
Love your content man👌 I get there isn't enough hours in a day but love watching all your stuff cuz it's just honest use of stuff you buy like the log grapple video. That was awesome! Appreciate ya and can't wait to see some footage of that forwarder 💪👍 much love from VT
Compulsive pursuit of mechanical perfection. Moving earth is right next to godliness. Good luck friend.
I'm betting it was a faulty load/tilt/bed position safety sensor that locked out upshifting.
Eddie you should have bought it first.
@@mikeh2520 It won't fit in my driveway :(
The young lady in this video is a worker for sure.The women tn my area would be fearful they would break a nail.
Your ingenuity is outstanding...
Seeing how happy Cody was at seeing you, he was probably quite lost and ‘frightened’.🤣
Neighbour: Look, Andrew I have a new truck that's even bigger than yours!
Andrew: Hold my beer...
Man... hear that ol' CAT puring so good :)
The cute girl is a winner! I love the way she jumps into a machine with no fear and helps without being told what to do!
Would be neat to hear what the new owner finds wrong with the 725 CAT
Hello Andrew, at 8:41 you notice a sight glass is showing no oil and fill it up, so I wonder if you checked it again after running the truck? I was wondering if that sight glass was for the transmission? Also, It would be polite to introduce your assistant some day. You didn't introduce your Sister either and it seems odd the dogs have names and the humans don't.
Who made you the arbiter of what is "polite" , and what is "odd" ? More like , it's really just your desire to know their names. If Andrew wants to share all that, he will, I guess. As for my 2 cents, the machinery and the K9s are usually more interesting than most humans, anyway.
Some people don't want to be named in the videos, like when he goes to construction sites. It's hit or miss.
Brown, it would be more polite if you minded your own business. You don't contribute anything to his channel so why should he introduce anyone on your say so?
Wow that dump truck is awesome I love Industrial machines.
You got another awesome machine 👏 💪 😎 🙌.
Dogs can sometimes be a real pain in the "A" but you gotta love them.
Andrew has two spots ready for the apocalypse.kudos .
Andrews " freind " driving the truck down is a tough cookie ,exactly what Andrew needs .
this amount of mechanical knowlege literally blows my mind. Really impressive.
Thanks
Haha, soon you can start your own gold mine Andrew! XD The right equipment for it is already there.
Was actually wondering when we whould see more of this Truck since i saw it in the background of some other videos.
And i can already say: The batteries sit on a REALLY good spot on this Truck!
But i get a feeling that the Truck stop running at the end may had something to do with the fact you said it was really HOT in the cabin. Some machines tend to stop working when they get too warm or overheat and after they cooled down they work again.
So the problems "maybe" could be a major cooling problem.
Anyways i can see why the truck only had 92 work hours since his last checkup 2018. Someone just didnt wanted to fix it.
And if you look for a good replacement of the truck, try to get a large tractor, like a John Deere or Case, with a half-pipe trailer. (Maybe a hooklift, that whould make the trailer even more useful. Because you can have one trailer and 5-6 containers/beds to switch) I see those a lot around here on construction sites and such where you cant use a normal dump truck that's made for roads. Its a good side income for farmers when they need some extra money.
Andrew is getting out of control lol :)
I don't know that I've seen Andrew sell a piece of equipment before. Of course, I don't know that I've seen him buy a piece of equipment where the manufacturer has to come out and program something to the machine. Glad he was able to find someone that was willing to pay what he paid knowing it needed the money sunk into it.
I do remember he sold the pettibone crane to a friend. Probably sells other stuff off camera.
In Finland we make tractor trailers out of old dump trucks! Just put a tongue where it pivots. Plus you have a working motor to use for something.
This man must be making so much money it’s astounding
When will you do another hill top road fixing? Last one was satisfying and relaxing. I am thanking you for your videos. You have no idea what impact it has done to my life. I'm a Army Vet w/ptsd and loved every clips you have. Thank you.
