Will it START? Old Dump Truck SITTING for YEARS Completely Overtaken by NATURE!

- In this video, I see if I can get this old UD Turbo Diesel Tip Truck or Dump Truck running after it has been sitting for so many years it has sunk into the ground and become completely overtaken by nature. UD Trucks are a wing of Nissan Trucks in Australia, and I estimate this would be a mid 1980’s built Truck. It’s fitted with a large turbo diesel engine and a road ranger style gearbox. The truck is full of spider webs and when I opened the door on my initial inspection, two massive spiders ran out to greet me. Wish me luck on This will it start video, I’m going to need it! Thanks for watching, Bruce.

You’re a legend Bruce. Please return and drive it out.
Thank you for the kind words, if enough people want to see it come out that can be another video
Well you got it to fire up Bruce why not go back when it dries up and see if she’ll come out with a bit of help 🤙
Yes please, a follow up video
@@bruceinaus I would love to see if it will drive out, but at least you've got a very good sounding engine back to life. Well done Bruce.
@@bruceinaus Drive it out Bruce, you know you want to !!!
I'm a 77 year old farmer and your cameraman is a blessing! Thank you!
thanks very much, he does a good job and ill pass that on
You are so right 👍👍👍👍👍
I,m 78 and likewise, I need help some of the time too, but, were still having a go. Can't ask for better than that. Just keep hanging in there Mark.
@@bruceinausthe audio quality is great with the mic
Working on the truck in a white shirt. Mrs Bruce must be impressed.
I was thinking the same thing😆
Washed at 95 degrees it will be like new again. 😅
Second hand store !!
Bruce you make me smile every time .please come back and show us if you can get that old beast to climb out of the ground .and maybe see if it will still raise the dump box .and a thanks to your camera man .
thank you for the ongoing support and ill pass the thanks onto the camerman
when i was younger i did everything i could to spend time wrenching with old timers, you cant get that type of knowledge and experience from a book. now you can get close to the same thing on UA-cam. its amazing. thank you for making these videos.
You and me too! My uncle bought an army surplus Jeep when I was about 5 ot 6 and he let me help fix it up and even taught me how to drive it. In the cow pasture not on the road! I went on and had my own farm equipment business when I was 14 and finally ended up as a fleet maintenance manager for a multi-national company before I retired 24 years ago.
“Always think of the next person, who’s going to be working on this bomb”
Love your work Bruce.
thanks for the support
One in a million, I tell you.
Thanks Bruce!
Your videos are so therapeutic in this crazy world and take me back many decades in the country.
Please get the old girl moving again!
Thanks so much John for that super thanks, greatly appreciated, those sorts of contributions all help towards the next video so thanks again, lots of viewers are wanting to see me go back so stay tuned, all the very best, Bruce
Therapeutic for sure.

Of course, Bruce! Go save it from the muck!
thanks very much for the feedback
I can't believe how easy it started up. WOW 😃👍
The owner must have kept up to date on servicing this truck!! A real good commendation for Nissan UD!! 😊
I always enjoy watching your videos! Something soothing about the calm way you work on old equipment! Props to the cameraman and their bravery in regards to creepy crawlies.
Thanks very much for the support, and the cameraman does a very good job on these sometimes difficult videos, Bruce
Bruce the kind of guy to buy the local wrecking yard and fix all the cars
my wife might have something to say lol
Mine told me if I did buy one, I would never sell anything. And believe me I did seriously think about it!
Yeah please part 2 would be well liked 👍...definitely want to see it tip the load
Great truck remember this model UD well . Bruce love to see you go back and have another go 🦘
thanks Kerry, if enough viewers want to see that i might do a video on it
Man of my own heart, Windsor and Cleveland.
Make someone a nice stationary engine for sure, not a whisp of smoke.
Great video Bruce, thank you.
That motor sounds so sweet.
Good old UD please get it driving out that farm
You make my day, please go back, can't wait.
only little huntsman their harmless
You're right. They're big and hairy but are no threat to anyone.
Eat most of the real bities
Go for it Bruce, love to see it out of the mud. Legend
thank you, looking at the support in the comments quickly i may do a video on trying to move it,
Amazing. Please come back and get this gem moving!
I am studying diesel mechanic in South Africa. Your videos always makes me excited to work one day. You made me realize that my passion lies in fixing diesel engines!
Good video, Bruce. I would like to see it driving.
thanks very much, really appreciate your support
Wow I'm amazed it started and ran so smoothly. Awesome work once again mate ❤
A real diamond in the rough. Unbelievable. And people knock these old critters, how good. You've started the ball rolling Bruce you might as well see it through now. She'll be right mate.
Watching Bruce wrangle those spiders, I was done. He is not only brave and knowledgeable but a bit crazy, I love it!
Yes please Bruce, we would like to see the old Truck drive out.
Hi Bruce and Mr Cameraman, you guys are amazing, the old machines you get going never ceases to entertain me. These old Japanese trucks were built to last, and the engines, although large, weren't endowed with power commensurate with their size. The fact that it started straight away didn't surprise me, before I retired, I drove Japanese trucks for 10years and they were very reliable. Regarding getting the UD out of it's resting place, I think after starting like that, it wants to get going again and I think it deserves a chance at life again!
Yes, definitely want to see it drive away. That was an amazing startup! Almost as amazing as you working in a white shirt!
Thank you Bruce, please come back and drive this.
Big up the cameraman for helping out 👍
Sounded really good when it was running.
It was like watching a horror movie waiting for something hideous to jump out or appear 😱
It’s gotta be recovered & taken out the mud. 👍
Love the videos Bruce! I would love to see a video of you resurrecting the old truck out of its watery grave.
Can't leave the old girl there to rot, definitely would like to see you get her moving mate 👍
Bruce is a true professional: unload a full can of insect spray in the cab and check the oil in a white long-sleeved shirt! I love it.
Yes - I will be waiting for the UD to come out
UD trucks would have to be one of the best! They just keep on going. Well done Bruce. Please get that poor thing out of the paddock. It deserves to be rescued.
Bruce , get it out moving ! Brilliant !!
Let's see if it drives. Another great video Bruce.
getting lots of support from the viewers to move it so stay tuned
Sounds better than the brand new trucks, drive her home!!
Yes Bruce, would definitely love to see you go back and drive it out. Great video as always.

Dear Mr. Bruce.
👍👌👏 2) Yes, please try to save the vehicle. Although I don't know if the complete truck is worth saving but the engine definitely is.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
Hi Bruce, That UD started on half rotation and along with your mates story I believe this is must keeper and must go back to driver her out and refurbish this one.
Please go back and drive it outta there! Would love to see it!
Love your work Bruce. Yes plz. I drove 1 of them mid 90s at Yarrie iron ore for Roche Bros. Was a service truck. Great truck with grunt
A real gentleman... Working on that old stuff in a white shirt! 😀
I remember around 1974 a friend of my fathers bought a brand new Nissan UD turbo bogie drive tip truck, was one of the best buys he ever made he reckoned, it went for years. Back in those days Japanese trucks were laughed at in Australia. I was amazed how long that white shirt lasted for too. Great video, I am getting to learn your step by step methods before the time comes to start the engine too...
Bruce, mate. I was checking your page earlier today for a new upload. Thanks for doing that. Cheers.
Yes part 2 would be awesome...what a sweet running motor. Be good to see it get another life in another truck
Fired on the first crank! Amazing! You owe Her a revisit to see if she'll move under her own power! Another great video, good to see you had an assistant today!
Wow that engine sounds amazing and like usual it was great to see a master mechanic at work 🙏 thanks for the great videos and yes go back I’d love to see you drive it away. 👍👍
Great work Bruce, we love your old stories and yes we would like you to return and drag the old truck out.
Penetrant, pounding, patience and a master's touch. You have got try and get that machine moving.
That is one nice running engine. You do an excellent job in preparing the engine for the first start. No shortcuts, ensure oil, water and fuel are correct before cranking the engine. And clean, tight connections on the batteries. Great video.
Amazing work. Please come back and get it out. The truck deserves a better home than the mud patch.
She purrs like a Kitten it'd be.a crime not to see it drive! Thanks again for the video Bruce! Come on people, costs nothing to click the Like button!
Hello Bruce always great to see another great video respect to you blessings from north Queensland tablelands an old Ipswich boy thanks for sharing love it stay safe everyone 😊
Thanks very much Denis, hopefully the rain has started to back off up that way now (like here finally)
I literally swore when that old beast fired right up. Was not expecting that. Hope to see it again in the future.
That Engine is still brilliant... Bruce you Legend... Bring it back to life buddy...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great to see the old Datsun. Looks like an update 2nd generation C series. 1983 - 1990. Love your work, Bruce. 👍
It feels like you've really come along with these videos Bruce, they are interesting and entertaining. Show us the retrieval of this old truck.
Not keen on the spiders, but absolutely you gotta drive that thing outa there, what an amazing engine, great video Bruce!!!
Bril!. Never disappointed watching these films!. Nice one!. Please do one on getting it out!. 🙂
Purrs like a kitten.
Great filming Bruce , bring us back on this one,
Proper job and all done in a dress shirt, class act Bruce.
All I can say Bruce is it’s a good job you had the camera man there 😂😂
And how easy did that start
That’s top quality Nissan truck engineering for you
That old girl needs pulling out of there
Top job Bruce
Go get it Bruce. She waiting to be drove again. Awesome video thank you.
Well done Bruce you owe camera guy 2 cold beers, please come back and roll it out of there its got good bones
thanks for the support, the cameraman probably didnt need to go to the gym after this day
Amazing, started instantly and little or no exhaust smoke! Yes, come back when the ground drys up, let's see if can go!
Now you've got her started you MUST try to get her moving. All The Best from Somerset, England.
The old timer was right about the wasps, knock the nest off and they will leave. But if you do, DON'T MOVE. They will fly around and bump your arm etc, but won't sting. I've done this countless times over the years.
im not sure im that game lol
Absolutely Bruce! Haul that thing outta there! I'm still amazed it started that quick! Thank You SIR!
I watched to the end to watch it drive. so yeah I want to see it move under it own power.
YOUR PATIENCE is a virtue Bruce, watching from England, fingers crossed the old truck will pull itself out of the swamp, i am looking forward to your next video with every thing crossed GOOD LUCK.
Great video Bruce looking forward to the next chapter😅
Geez Bruce , ya can't leave us hanging HaHaHa... You need to get the Old Girl moving :)

Marvellous!! Brilliant projects as ever Bruce!

That engine sounded great with the turbo whistling away, not much wrong with that. Be good to see it drive out of there when the ground is less wet. Thanks Bruce !
Come back and get her out. I'd be keen to see if that hoist is still good, plus how that cab & body come up after a good clean out.
Yes please go back!!
Hope to see more of this old fella! Lovely work, please keep it up!
cant wait to see you drive it! enjoy watching you getting vehicles running!
