I remember when Samsung first released their line of excavators in the US, we used to think they looked so futuristic with the curved front windshield. If you don't end up using the other excavator, you can swap the bigger undercarriage under this one and have a hybrid. It would compliment the taller bucket.
My company works on different equipment, but what is nice about watching this is that folks can see what it takes to get this stuff functional or set up to use. There is no user's manual, only experience and processes that apply to different things. Buying used gear cheap that you can repair or restore is always a better way to go if you plan on keeping it. We just replaced the entire drive train in one of our 98 dodge 1 ton 4x4's except for the axles, and it was still way cheaper than buying a new truck, and it's paid for! :) We really enjoy the vids, thanks!
I enjoy watching these types of excavation videos these are young men who get it done they have learned there is no right or wrong way just what works for them I applaud their efforts keep up the good work
Hey Jesse - Your videos are 100% totally fantastic! Always learn some things and really like all of your genuine qualities. You display confidence but never arrogance - not always for some I've seen.Thanks again for what you do. Am already looking forward to the next one.
Jesse, you can easily make that paint look like new. I did this on my motorhome. Wash the surface down with Dawn detergent. Then dab a wet scrubpad in a cleanser (I used Bar Keepers Friend) and lightly glide it over the painted surface and rinse with clear water before it dries. You only want to remove the crud, not the sound paint. When the surface feels smooth, wash the paint down with Dawn again. When the surface is completely dry put on a pair of long vinyl gloves. Get a liquid floor polish such as DEP from Home Depot or Lowe's. Pour some in a paint roller tray. Don't forget to put on the gloves. Dip a padded microfiber cloth into the polish and wring it out so that you apply only a thin coat of polish on the paint. ! gallon goes a long way. Too much polish and you will get unsightly runs that are almost impossible to remove. Apply the polish evenly across the surface. Let it dry between coats. You will see results immediately but you need at least 2 or 3 coats. I used 2 coats, got a high shine and the graphics came alive. H/D now sells ZEP in a Wet Look which should be interesting. When I got the motorhome it looked terrible. I scrubbed the 1992 E350 cab twice with auto polish cleaner and couldn't get the dead paint off. Using the above method gave the cab a showroom shine. Good luck. Don't forget the long gloves.
that sounds like alot of worker for an excavator thats already beat the hell and is only gonna get more punishment.. i dont think its really about having nice glossy paint i think its more so about having an even layer over everything so its not 3 different shades and rusty in 7 spots and bright marks wherever there used to be a sticker or mount
A: The shot with the GoPro, on the arm, filling the dump truck, was AWESOME. You are getting quite good at cinematography! B: Get that puppy a manual thumb as soon as you are able.
Jesse I so enjoy watching all your videos. You make them so interesting. I think you got a great buy on that machine. It will pay for its self in a short time. You are smart to buy a good used or fixer upper and you fix it and get it running great. better than going in dept and owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Best of luck with the machine and your company.
Jesse; watching your videos are always an adventure! You are certainly skilled in modifying, customizing, making Rube Goldberg devices and making do, yet you always seem to make it work.
Samsung heavy industries was bought by Volvo so you know that they had something good going on! Nice "two-fer" purchase! Look forward to the work on the trailer!
Samsung was a great machine, i still have mine and we bought it new. When they were new they were the fastest machine on the market. Mine currently has 8800 hours and runs great.
Great purchase Jesse at a bargain price. Of course you had the abilities to make right what was wrong with it and make it an even better buy! I agree with you that this machine may not be brought out on every job but when you need it, the machine will pay itself off in no time! Can't wait to see you fix the trailer up so you can haul this little bad boy around. Enjoyed this video and looking forward to that video!
Great video Jesse plus some very useful comments from knowledgeable viewers . Please do a video on work that you will be doing to the trailer for the Samsung 130 .
Wow, that new bucket is great! It appears to have bosses for a "pincher" attachment, for like picking up logs with the bucket as half of the "jaw". I think it's great to have a large deposit of parts for the one really good machine. Decal residue? The BEST I ever used for boats & cars is Maguire's Cleaner wax, scrubbed with a sponge polisher. Ghost outlines disappear. Hit it with Wax & grease remover prior to painting.
Dear J.R. 👍👌👏 Yeah, you are definitely not the only one! 😁 Even a small hairdryer produces enough heat and does not damage the paint. A heat gun is probably dangerous for a guy like this. Best regards luck and health.
Dear @@MikeHarris1984 As long as you don't try to dry out your ear canals with a heat gun everything is okay! Of course real men use gas torches so that the ear hairs are removed simultaneously! 😁😂 Best regards, luck and health.
First time viewer, new subscriber. I watch several other channels similar to yours, Andrew's, LetsDig18, Elite Earthworks, and others. I have to say that your videography is the best of them. I also like your channel as it is in the same vein as Andrew's, doing repairs and mods on your equipment. Thanks for sharing your experiences with those of us who will never do what you do, but enjoy watching what you do.
As far as a pipe wrench goes: “If it don’t say Rigid, it ain’t no good”. Instead of tac welding the bushings, weld a small piece of flat bar to hold it in.
Turned out pretty good. I was wondering about a trailer but I see you answered that lol. Also appears to have had a thumb at one time. 4bt engine will be good to work on. lots of them around in equipment and even boats.
I think I know what it is about your videos we like, the viewers. We have toy envy watching you do things that we can’t afford or don’t have the time. This gives us the satisfaction of experiencing out with you.
That is great Jesse I so enjoy watching all your videos. You make them so interesting. I think you got a great buy on that machine. It will pay for its self in a short time.
Hey Jesse it definitely wouldn't hurt to run some hard surfacing rods on the side cutters as they are quite rounded from use, seems to dig well. All the best !🇨🇦🇺🇸
You could always cut that long pin about 2” out from the bushing drill a hole and use a spacer with bolt to hold the pin in and just drill a hole in the middle of the flush pin and just bolt a piece of flat bar to hold the bushings in. Use a heat gun and a plastic body tool/bondo spreader to slide those letters right off. Never knew you could get those style weld on shanks, need to get some for my track loader as they are shot on it. Love the vids man, keep em coming.
Jesse congratulations on your new toy. I know you work alot in the dirt and almost everyone will disagree but i just want to say giving the machine a good clean up and keep dirt off the machine after jobs will keep the rust away and keep the machine looking good for a long time. Also where you can buy a nice Cat yellow paint and keep all the machines looking good and new. My dad used to say it costs nothing to make something old look good.
Maybe add your company logo as well. If you don't have one, a local graphic designer could create it relatively inexpensively. Put it on all your equipment, nice professional appearance to represent your company.
Just watched the whole thing. Nice machine and the new bucket is a nice size. Those teeth on the side walls are really interesting, did they use it to load trees or something and weld them on afterwards? Those shims you cut in half: could have made them true flat with a lathe or mill or even pretty close with a bench grinder - idk if you have them available and idk if it really mattes all that much. The teeth size seems okay, put a tag on the pins of they ever fall out. Can't wait to see what you have planned with it and all the use you should get out of it! :)
Very interesting and enjoyable, Jesse. Looks like you got some Plexiglas in there, too. Had to laugh with the teeth - too big, then too small - but like the Pappa bear, the Momma bear and baby bear, these were JUST right and if they weren't, you made 'em work! Thanks much, Jesse and looking forward to more excavator videos.
You say it's not perfect well if it works and works just the way you want I think it's perfect you grown so much in such a little time I'm just extremely Proud of you Young Man I so hope that your videos will show all of these guys that they can do it too been on your channel for a while now and I/we are very impressed keep growing my friend and appreciate your values your family and mostly everyone thumbs up again stay blessed
thank you, I appreciate such good feedback. The machine still works great, a thumb is still on the wishlist, but right now I just want to get my new house built. Been waiting on engineers for months now to get started
That's a nice old machine. It looks like it's already plumbed for a thumb. Are you going to weld hard facing on the bucket? I've been wanting to make a smooth cutting edge for my toothed buckets on my mini. Cool video. The drone shots give a nice perspective
Great video! But one thing, I winced when I saw the rusty chain tight across the nice shiny chrome plated hydraulic ram on the old digger at 10:00. I've just changed seals on my rams because the damaged plating wore them out and I was losing a lot of oil.
To fill in that huge gap after you made all those passes you can drop a long 1/2" bolt in there and weld it in and then trim off the length. Key stock will work, go to the scrap pile and find some steel to drop in there. I don't know about strength? But let's face it... it won't be "Less Strong" than where you gave up. Another option is to make a trip to the welding store and buy a few pounds of a larger rod? If any of those teeth snap off I can promise it will not happen at a convenient time. Nice excavator!!! 👍👍👍
Dear Jesse, on behalf of a greatful nation thank you for considering all the dozen reasonable, efficient and generally accepted ways to changing out the ripper teeth of your Cat bucket and then forging ahead with Choice 13. Keep swinging, Dude.
I see a crack in the side of the bucket it’s on the side your left hand is when you are setting in the machine, nice kool good job, thanks BigAl California.
Great Video, Been watching all your rebuild/restore videos. For stickers/decals order in a rubber eraser wheel. Chuck it into a drill and rub em off in no time. Can get em on Amazon or Ebay. Keep up the good work.
Sweet machine for sure. I have a feeling you'll be able to do some fast foundation digs with it. Should pay for its self pretty quick. Time is always the enemy, that thing is going to save you LOTS of time down the road.
Since watching you change the cab on your truck to now is miles of experience and so think that in the next short while, as in not a bunch of years but oh to be fair fifteen months or more of running your own company... you will have only to look back and smile and say to yourself "I did it!" and you did. Its not a new machine but the payments are in learning it and fixing it. I really hope that you repair the other one as until your able to move your own, I see that as a handicap.Nothing but a thing but not to hurry and cost you over common sense. I have a feeling that you might watch guys like Matt at Diesel Creek or Lets dig 18 with Criss and make plans or get ideas on how to bid paying jobs and make some real money. I don't know how the virus is affecting work there but hope its not pulling you down... mighty proud of you
Great video Jesse. Hoping you have good luck with it. I think you would strip the other machine for stuff you may need down the road. Like glass and doors. Only if you don't plan on fixing the other one up totally.
I remember when Samsung first released their line of excavators in the US, we used to think they looked so futuristic with the curved front windshield. If you don't end up using the other excavator, you can swap the bigger undercarriage under this one and have a hybrid. It would compliment the taller bucket.
I love watching you restore the old equipment and teaching how it's done. I just bought an old John Deere 350B so I am in the club now !
My company works on different equipment, but what is nice about watching this is that folks can see what it takes to get this stuff functional or set up to use. There is no user's manual, only experience and processes that apply to different things. Buying used gear cheap that you can repair or restore is always a better way to go if you plan on keeping it. We just replaced the entire drive train in one of our 98 dodge 1 ton 4x4's except for the axles, and it was still way cheaper than buying a new truck, and it's paid for! :) We really enjoy the vids, thanks!
You go Jesse!! All the best to you and your "new to you" equipment!! Stay safe my friend and thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Ok bro After supporting Andrew's channel, Its your turn, Im Going to use every social media to support this channel 👍
? Andrew is still making UA-cam videos
Congrats on the purchase and new addition for your company. Nice work, man.
I enjoy watching these types of excavation videos these are young men who get it done they have learned there is no right or wrong way just what works for them I applaud their efforts keep up the good work
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. Stay safe.
That tank is a M48 used in Viet Nam. I worked on those in Okinawa in 1970. Love your camera work, fantastic panning and clearity.
Nice to see Andrew and you buying and fixing heavy duty machinery. Keep up the friendly competition.
Hey Jesse - Your videos are 100% totally fantastic! Always learn some things and really like all of your genuine qualities. You display confidence but never arrogance - not always for some I've seen.Thanks again for what you do. Am already looking forward to the next one.
Nice addition to the fleet. I didn't expect you would be using the spare-parts-avator so soon. It seems to run well also.
Jesse, you can easily make that paint look like new. I did this on my motorhome. Wash the surface down with Dawn detergent. Then dab a wet scrubpad in a cleanser (I used Bar Keepers Friend) and lightly glide it over the painted surface and rinse with clear water before it dries.

Get a liquid floor polish such as DEP from Home Depot or Lowe's. Pour some in a paint roller tray. Don't forget to put on the gloves. Dip a padded microfiber cloth into the polish and wring it out so that you apply only a thin coat of polish on the paint. ! gallon goes a long way. Too much polish and you will get unsightly runs that are almost impossible to remove. Apply the polish evenly across the surface. Let it dry between coats. You will see results immediately but you need at least 2 or 3 coats. I used 2 coats, got a high shine and the graphics came alive. H/D now sells ZEP in a Wet Look which should be interesting.
When I got the motorhome it looked terrible. I scrubbed the 1992 E350 cab twice with auto polish cleaner and couldn't get the dead paint off. Using the above method gave the cab a showroom shine. Good luck. Don't forget the long gloves.
Or go get $100 in yellow paint and hose the thing down.
that sounds like alot of worker for an excavator thats already beat the hell and is only gonna get more punishment.. i dont think its really about having nice glossy paint i think its more so about having an even layer over everything so its not 3 different shades and rusty in 7 spots and bright marks wherever there used to be a sticker or mount
Great work! I was skeptical that it would do the job for you, but you convinced me! Great video!
Always a great video from you Jesse ! Thank you, thumbs up !
A: The shot with the GoPro, on the arm, filling the dump truck, was AWESOME. You are getting quite good at cinematography! B: Get that puppy a manual thumb as soon as you are able.

You are smart to buy a good used or fixer upper and you fix it and get it running great. better than going in dept and owing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Best of luck with the machine and your company.
Thought of AC as soon as I saw the tank. Great job, dude. Keep em coming....
I would love to see you paint this one all yellow. You really do a good job painting and it makes a lot of difference.
Very nice video. Can’t wait to see more of your equipment and what you do.
Welding job looks great Jesse ! Keep doing your videos I enjoy them !
Nice man I appreciate the new content. I really like the vids of your saw mill. Seeing tree to structure is awesome.
Jesse; watching your videos are always an adventure! You are certainly skilled in modifying, customizing, making Rube Goldberg devices and making do, yet you always seem to make it work.
Samsung heavy industries was bought by Volvo so you know that they had something good going on! Nice "two-fer" purchase! Look forward to the work on the trailer!
Awesome Jesse , That looks like a nice machine and in good shape . I am super happy for you .
Samsung was a great machine, i still have mine and we bought it new. When they were new they were the fastest machine on the market. Mine currently has 8800 hours and runs great.
Of course it does, if it has the Cummins 4BT motor. Bulletproof. lol
Nice addition to your business, Jesse.

thanks, and the trailer is getting close in queue and I do have a few jobs coming up to use it on already
Looking fwd for your excellent content
Great video Jesse plus some very useful comments from knowledgeable viewers . Please do a video on work that you will be doing to the trailer for the Samsung 130 .
HUGE props for putting out this video and letting us know how much ya paid for her!
Glad to see you movin up in size really will be beneficial in your business keep up the great videos
Love to see young people who fix up old equipment instead of burying themselves in debt buying new they cannot afford. Smart business!
Good job! Nice to see you and your business progress!!
Great video. And thanks for showing the bucket shank repair. Gotta do the same on my backhoe and did not know about those weld-on repair pieces.
thanks, yea neither did I until recently. much easier than cutting off the old shank
Wow, that new bucket is great! It appears to have bosses for a "pincher"
attachment, for like picking up logs with the bucket as half of the "jaw".
I think it's great to have a large deposit of parts for the one really good machine.
Decal residue? The BEST I ever used for boats & cars is
Maguire's Cleaner wax, scrubbed with a sponge polisher.
Ghost outlines disappear. Hit it with Wax & grease remover prior to painting.
waiting on the next video jesse !! thanks for sharing !!!!
Congrats on the old-new equipment!
As always great video, thank you, great watching you work!
Enjoyed the video Jesse, lots of hammering and pounding and scheming. Good work using your noggin. Butch from Florence Texas
Awesome video Jesse. I can't wait to see that thing pay for itself!!!
Dude! I'm diggin your camera angles! Thats awesome! 👍
I'll bet I'm not the only one yelling "Use a heat gun or a hair dryer on that damn sticker!" 😆
I guess his wife won't let him use her dryer.
Dear J.R.
👍👌👏 Yeah, you are definitely not the only one! 😁
Even a small hairdryer produces enough heat and does not damage the paint. A heat gun is probably dangerous for a guy like this.
Best regards luck and health.
I use my heat gun as a hair dryer! Does that count? You don't get this great hair without some work! LOL
Dear @@MikeHarris1984
As long as you don't try to dry out your ear canals with a heat gun everything is okay! Of course real men use gas torches so that the ear hairs are removed simultaneously! 😁😂
Best regards, luck and health.
I bet it was obvious for alot of people, but I really didn't know that. will try next time

Great purchaser. So proud of you man.
Good purchase, great video.
Excellent 🙂 I hope you clean and paint the cab. Good luck with new machine. Btw best way to load a pile is on top of it.
Oh good job on getting it square nice I need one of your chop saws, nice not a lot of sparks, thanks BigAl California
Great video Jesse 👍
Love watching you grow your business without just rushing out and buying new equipment. Your effort will pay over time.
M-60 MBT with the 105. Heck of a tank. 2nd Armored Division, Hell on Wheels, 1967.
You could always cut that long pin about 2” out from the bushing drill a hole and use a spacer with bolt to hold the pin in and just drill a hole in the middle of the flush pin and just bolt a piece of flat bar to hold the bushings in. Use a heat gun and a plastic body tool/bondo spreader to slide those letters right off. Never knew you could get those style weld on shanks, need to get some for my track loader as they are shot on it. Love the vids man, keep em coming.
Thank you for NO ear splitting music and look forward to more videos. New subscriber.
Yes! Too many shows trying to build a brand by acting out some obnoxious character or music or profanity. These are Andrew are pure gold.
27:09 Love how the ladies are coming into shot, as planned right? Great content, strangely calming, and informative as well.
Great video, good luck with the new machine.
Hey Jesse, interesting vid! Does your mate Andrew Camarta have the HD welding gear to loan you?
Jesse congratulations on your new toy.

Congrats man! That will definitely help on projects. Looks to be a good quick machine 👍🏻
thanks , I am done buying toys for a while, now its time to build my new house lol
@@jmuller86 that's what we all say
Really cool Jesse. Now to get a 10 wheeler to go with it!
This guy reminds me so much of Andrew Camarata! Subscribed!
As a welder all my life fill all the way around crack and fail points great videos keep up the great videos
Love it. Any updates on the track loader you got with the dozer?
Very interesting and enjoyable, Jesse. Looks like you got some Plexiglas in there, too. Had to laugh with the teeth - too big, then too small - but like the Pappa bear, the Momma bear and baby bear, these were JUST right and if they weren't, you made 'em work! Thanks much, Jesse and looking forward to more excavator videos.
great work jesse!
I’m back. Love what you are doing. Nice Machine.
Congrats on the new machine Jesse! The time you will save should be quite a bit.
Congratulations just saw your name on " Ingenious and Smart Construction Workers You Need To See Now #13" 8/28/20 keep up the great videos
"Gonna try it out on virgin ground"- Jesse digs up a car - 😁 - Love it- Great stuff Jesse.-waiting for the next one👍
Wondering if he maybe found Hoffa and a trunk full of cash? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video! Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.
Your a good at frightening out the tight spots on that bucket your a “ SMART Man” good job
Nice new addition to the fleet. No doubt it will soon pay for it self.
You say it's not perfect well if it works and works just the way you want I think it's perfect you grown so much in such a little time I'm just extremely Proud of you Young Man I so hope that your videos will show all of these guys that they can do it too been on your channel for a while now and I/we are very impressed keep growing my friend and appreciate your values your family and mostly everyone thumbs up again stay blessed
thank you, I appreciate such good feedback. The machine still works great, a thumb is still on the wishlist, but right now I just want to get my new house built. Been waiting on engineers for months now to get started
Awsome Jesse can't wait to see the new videos..
That's a nice old machine. It looks like it's already plumbed for a thumb. Are you going to weld hard facing on the bucket? I've been wanting to make a smooth cutting edge for my toothed buckets on my mini. Cool video. The drone shots give a nice perspective
Great video! But one thing, I winced when I saw the rusty chain tight across the nice shiny chrome plated hydraulic ram on the old digger at 10:00. I've just changed seals on my rams because the damaged plating wore them out and I was losing a lot of oil.
Great vid Jesse. Great repairs also.
To fill in that huge gap after you made all those passes you can drop a long 1/2" bolt in there and weld it in and then trim off the length. Key stock will work, go to the scrap pile and find some steel to drop in there. I don't know about strength? But let's face it... it won't be "Less Strong" than where you gave up. Another option is to make a trip to the welding store and buy a few pounds of a larger rod? If any of those teeth snap off I can promise it will not happen at a convenient time. Nice excavator!!! 👍👍👍
Dear Jesse, on behalf of a greatful nation thank you for considering all the dozen reasonable, efficient and generally accepted ways to changing out the ripper teeth of your Cat bucket and then forging ahead with Choice 13. Keep swinging, Dude.
I see a crack in the side of the bucket it’s on the side your left hand is when you are setting in the machine, nice kool good job, thanks BigAl California.
Looks like another old machine saved by Jesse.. Good job..
Sweet congratulation on your new machine brother, I hope it really works out for you and your family.
Why did I watch this video? I live in an apartment and work in an office in London England. Subscribed and love your videos buddy.
Good one. 😊
Maybe you missed your calling! Lol. Career change?
Good job Jesse, this is the most i have heard you speak since i subscribed, kind of getting to know you a little better. Uncle Bob, NZ.
Love your content, keeping me enthralled! Shorter is better if you like. I'll be back. Thanks
Great Video, Been watching all your rebuild/restore videos. For stickers/decals order in a rubber eraser wheel. Chuck it into a drill and rub em off in no time. Can get em on Amazon or Ebay. Keep up the good work.
Way to go Jesse! Nice purchase
Next time you have to remove stickers use a hairdryer to warm the letters and then they peel off very easy. Regards Billy
Also one of the cheap heat guns from Harbor Freight or an eraser wheel that chucks into a cordless drill from a body shop supply store.
Sweet machine for sure. I have a feeling you'll be able to do some fast foundation digs with it. Should pay for its self pretty quick. Time is always the enemy, that thing is going to save you LOTS of time down the road.
Since watching you change the cab on your truck to now is miles of experience and so think that in the next short while, as in not a bunch of years but oh to be fair fifteen months or more of running your own company... you will have only to look back and smile and say to yourself "I did it!" and you did.

7018 Rod, Jesse they make 7018 ac rod give it a try. You got a great deal on the Excavator and the bucket.
Great video Jesse. Hoping you have good luck with it. I think you would strip the other machine for stuff you may need down the road. Like glass and doors. Only if you don't plan on fixing the other one up totally.
I feel like if he gets time he'll fix up the second one. What's better than 1 14 ton machine? 2 of course lol
that bucket is a beast !
Congratulations nice addition to your fleet . Look forward to seeing more episodes of JM construction every month ?
