Working on a Case military bulldozer; replace hydraulic hoses, oil change, fix winch cable, tie down batteries, clean, and other small repairs. Then use it to spread out rock.
Glad you addressed the fact that those cable clamps were on the wrong way originally. I noticed right away. My uncle always used to say "never saddle a dead horse" meaning the saddle (the part the u-bolt goes through) always has to be on the "working" side of the cable.
I haven't done a repair dealing with thick cables, Yet it makes sense. The more gripping on the working side because the saddle is thicker area for more grip. Thanks for pointing out that good advice @jasonb6570.
The way he fixed that cable with 10 different clamps and vices makes me feel a lot better about the way that I fix shit. I guess it’s never pretty for anyone; as long as it gets fixed.
This is the comment I was going to make , having worked on bridge building we used a lot of 3/4” cable to steady & hold the bents in place , that you build the forms on to pour the concrete into . #2 always cut your cable either with a torch or the welder use 6010 DC or 6011 for AC , both of these processes will weld the end of the cables together so you don’t have all that splaid end
Brilliant! My dad worked for JICase for 30 yrs. Seeing the dogs peacefully sitting there enjoying the view nearly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Andrew
the shot of the dogs sitting and looking at the mountains was definitely a money shot. thanks for what you’re doing because you make it look easy and your reasoning and thinking problems out is excellent. Keep up the good work.
As a former merchant marine captain (although from the Netherlands) i have a copy of the 'American Merchant Seaman's Handbook" (Ed 1965) that shows a special vice for clamping steel wire like this. I have never seen it in real life and you would not buy one for the occasional wire clamping job, but they do exist. On the ships we also simply started at the end and slowly worked our way to the eye. But our more experienced bosuns scoffed at this and preferred the old fashioned splicing. Nowadays neither is allowed on ships as the wire including the eye has to be tested and cerified. And as we don't spend much time in port we usually replace the full coil of wire rope if there is any failure. Wasting a lot of money in the process. Modern times! Nice to see you got it done in the end.
Usually because they didn't respect the SWL of the wire ropes. Or wire ropes were not properly maintained and greased. As always: respect your tools and equipment and know the limitations and proper way of handling. When a wire snaps you need to be on the correct side of it and a safe distance. Then when you repair it you discard the part from the break to 3 turns on the drum as that may have been over stretched, the remainder is still as good as before the snapping of the line. Basic things like that kept me safe for 40+ years on merchant vessels.
The random appearance of Porky was gold ! Also, Andrew should invest in a giant roll of that hydraulic hose and the crimping tool needed to put the connectors on. I bet the price of making those 8-10 hoses at the shop would have paid for the tool. He sure needs a lot of hoses for all the stuff he does.
It’s hardly labor you pay for. That hose itself is EXPENSIVE! It’s safety rated for some pretty high pressure. They are basically built like radial tires, except better. It wouldn’t make sense for him to buy the crimping machine. They are astronomical too.
Andrew makes $750K/year from his YT vids. Its not as if he cannot afford to get the tooling to do it. But Andrew is putting money into local enterprises. Life is difficult in Upstate NY and if you look at Andrews jobs, its really helping the community out. He is doing what I would do in his situation. Giving back to the community. He does look after Dan Wheeler a lot and his YT channel. He doesnt advertise it, but he does.
Zipties come off and break easily. They also don't hold very well on short adapters/fittings. Telecom wires work way better and come in a million different colors. They also don't break off and they grip threads very well.
@@NineCylinderDiesel considering they only needed to last for what seemed like maybe 12 hours to remember which hose went where theres no need to use wire which will lose its color and start to rust quickly in his climate lol
@@yabiochya let me start off by stating that I work on heavy equipment for a living. I had a new hire use colored zipties two weeks ago. He remved 8 hoses that all had the same fittings but were different lengths. He then proceeded to mark them, and their respective bulkheads with zipties. 4 bulkheads lost their marks and when he tossed the hoses into the back of the truck, two of them lost theirs when the zipties broke. Also, since the wires I use are dug up telecom wiring that are given to me on demo sites, they are free, they come in a million color combinations, and since they're copper inside, they don't rust. I typically leave them on for the next guy, since it'll probably be me anyways, and have worked on the same machines years later and guess what? They're still there, and still 100% distinguishable.
Don't know what it is, but I could watch this video another couple of times before I'm satisfied. Same with the rest. I love this style of filming and editing. So simple, no click bait, no gimmicks.
I enjoy Andrews posts for their honesty. He had heaps of trouble getting on the clamps for the winch wire but showed his failures as well as his ultimate success. He may have cut out the swearing however because if it was me there would be a lot of swearing.
Man, that opening - I'm remembering back when that road was so bad you could hardly get a tracked vehicle up it without getting stuck and having to use a winch over and over. Now you could drive a sedan with bald tires up without any fuss. THAT is some serious improvement!
Talk about a "One Man Show". This stuff blows discovery channel shows out of the water. You're an insanely talented person. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and motivating me brother.
I wouldn't trust that jack as a safety stand. I had one break the cast piece holding the lock pin and it dropped instantly to the ground. It was holding up the tongue on a 15 ft batwing bush hog, maybe 500 lb. while I was replacing the tongue jack with a new one. Lucky my feet wasn't in harm's way. The jack was from Tractor Supply and the first time used. Thank you for your time to share your interesting events with us.
That was interesting. Cody and Blu enjoying the scenery at my favorite place on top of the world. Filming with the drone makes it look magical. The new green dozer after repair did a great job. Thanks Andrew for sharing again. Xx
I’m always thrilled to see that a new Andrew video is up. This man is uniquely talented and gifted. I am 71 years old and I once was able to do a lot of the things he does. But I’m satisfied to just sit in my chair and watch him now. I’m actually still blessed to be out doing some work but at a much slower and paced speed. Enjoy your youth because it is gone quickly !!
I hear you brother. I am 82 and watch AC almost every day . Sometimes in the evening i must let the wife watch news or comedy.When shes out i watch Andrew and the dogs.
Andrew, your videography is getting better and better and so is the drone footage. I had to get a screen shot of the dogs looking at the mountains--so beautiful. Every time I see one of these videos I get enthused and get back to work on my own stuff. It's what you call motivational.
Your hunch about buying this one was excellent. I'm glad the gentleman called you back. I'm sure you'll more than make it worth the amount paid. It should more than pay for itself with a few jobs you'll get to do in time
I love how Andrew takes everything in stride & doesn't let setbacks discourage him. U bolts on the winch cable, drills spinning in the chuck, holes needing file adjustments--thanks for including these parts because it's reality
I used to run a 850 D and loved its maneuverability. Like you said you could run each track independently, one in forward, one in reverse. There was also a high and low range for transporting.
That's a great Dozer Andrew, love the counter-rotating tracks @45:05 Dozer needed some TLC and you did a great job gettting it up to grade...super repairs!!!
Andrew so satisfying to watch you tidy up what looks like a great dozer. Many of us are too rushed to keep up minor maintenance and it soon gets major. Thankyou for sharing with us here in Australia. Your country views are incredible. Please keep going.
Great dozer, looked like low hours as well. Always good to see you working on a recently adopted piece of equipment. Your attention to detail is what I love about your channel. Especially when you have to get something done! Great video, stay well, stay safe!
Andrew, Thanks! That was worth the wait to see you fixing something. Especially a new Dozer to add to your collection! Really nice work on leveling the road also. Hope you show us how you fix that one part of the road going to your “Olympic Mountaintop..haha”, that most of your vehicles can’t get up due to steepness and slipping in mud or snow/ice!
Great video Andrew. Your mountaintop estate is progressing nicely. Good equipment is a must. Pups and the porcupine, a needle or two in the nose will teach em right away not to mess with the little gremlin. We have dogs that encounter a skunk every year it seams, once they got sprayed in the face, now they just corner it and bark like crazy at them.
Every 'adventure' of Andrew Camerata's is enough reason for stopping everything I'm doing so to watch it! Thanks Andrew! --- You did a great job leveling out that section of road -and of course a great job reviving the dozer! By the way, you likely don't need the money but if you started a refurbished-heavy-equipment business people would beat a path to your door.
*Armored bulldozer complete with 3/8" radiator grill and sealed cabin? If it's good enough for pushing in some new crushed stone roads, in Iraq it should work just fine at home too, lol.*
It takes vision to decide where to dump, how much and how to attack pushing it, so as to take the least amount of time and effort. Andrew is an excellent operator, not only because of how he manipulates the equipment, but because he has that necessary vision to get the job done right, in the least amount of time and effort, not to mention least amount of fuel consumption.
@kieranosullivan02 there's not many of them here in Kansas. But if I came across one and had an unyielding urge to take it for a walk, you best bet that porcupine is going for a walk with a ratchet strap.
Tips my hat to the guy who made all of those hoses while Andrew waited. None of this it's going to take a few days or weeks stuff. He also let A ⚡C film and ask questions.That is fast service. Cody and Blue watching the sunset was a amazing site. Woofs 🐾
They make a lower cost hydraulic fitting compressor, it uses a small hydraulic Jack type setup. You still have to have an inventory of fittings and hydraulic lines, they can get a little pricey but still cheaper than the guy in the shop making them. Where I worked they had a setup like that and it worked really good, we also had a nut and bolt service that handled all those fittings so it was just a call away to get some delivered.
I really like it when Andrew buys a piece of equipment he makes it bulletproof and stronger than it was all that hard work just to have fun with it I really enjoy watching his channel 😊
Good to see you changing hoses BEFORE they die... Good job all-around on the Case... The NEW all-wheel drive roller does an AWESOME job... Thanks for the new video... I needed it...
My one dog never learned to stay away from porcupines (at least once a summer pulled quills out of its nose and face) nor did she learn to stay away from skunks (at least once a summer we awoke to the eye watering smell of skunk as it wafted up to the upstairs of our house in the middle of the night). Loved that doggie, but she just never learned. Thanks Andrew for your hard work both with the equipment and the videography, top notch. John here from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Yeah, there really isn’t any way to teach a dog about porcupines. Those quills are the lesson. If the dog gets it, done. If not, then well just hope the quills all come out and don’t hit anything vital going in.
Always liked the CASE dozers. My good friend, Ronny @ Delaware Construction, had a fleet of Case machines. 850 -1450 888 excavator and of course the 580 backhoe. Nice machine Andrew.
Colored tie wraps super cool idea ,it's expensive to change out all of the Hydraulic lines ,but it's the smart thing to do ,I never get over the views from the edge of the mountain outstanding That Belly Pan had a ton of dirt and crap in it
Its incredible to see how far you've come!! Not that I doubted you, I mean you got your own quarry now with all the big toys!! That's a huge flex! Cheers from Upstate Ny!
Great video! The rock you've got out of that crusher is really doing it's job well, it's perfect for making roads and the dozer pushes it like nothing! Love seeing the wheel loader and rock truck working together too!
Andrew very smart to replace all the hydraulic hoses, going forward I strongly recommend you use two wrenches while tightening any hydraulic hose, using only a single wrench will put a clockwise twist in the internal steel braiding of the hose, (the tighter you make the fitting the more twist) The steel braiding want to be in a neutral state, so it exists a counter clockwise force on the fitting loosing it over a short timeframe, especially with all the vibration a dozer has during normal operation. Moreover if installed using a second wrench(holding the hose in a neutral state) the hose will hold the fitting tight during operation.
Im ruining my new lounge chair because of you. Im leaning left im leaning right and im tensing up trying to get the tree loose that you got stuck in others. When the roller went off the road i almost fell on the floor.Take it easy on me son.
been a little while since I watched your videos and I am very impressed with the heavy machinery you've picked up in the mean time. those are some big toys.
Hi Andrew, the beginning of this video was especially nice, your frisbee throwing skills are off the charts, and thank you for sharing Cody and Blue with us as well as your heavy equipment and projects. I bet that you brighten many people's days! I thank you for letting us see your adventures.
I wonder what he is going to do with that mountain. Probably something that makes the castle of Camarata look like a tool shed. Yet I don't think that you can alter the skyline of mountains in most states. Knowing Andrew he is building a launch pad and a rocket to beat Elon Musk to Mars. Ironically as I write this comment "Ticket to ride" started playing on that fm radio. Could it be a sign of the future? Lol wow
Porcupines are not to be messed with, that is for certain. Many dogs had to learn their lesson the hard way. Mountain tops and sunsets. You are doing everything right while you're young, Andrew. I'm not much a heavy equipment type but I sure have learned mechanics work is simple enough but can't be lazy about it and that is what makes it a challenge. Thank you for all you do!
Hi Andrew, thanks for this vid, really great seeing both dogs and you on this Sunday. The sunsets and rises are spectacular. Always great to see. Be getting into fall soon, those shots will be just aw-sum.. Take it easy till the next one..

I don't know nothing about bulldozers but this one is my favorite of all Andrew's equipment. So many things come together to make a well thought tool.

Always a great video. It’s a ton of work when you rebuild a dozer.
Its always a pleasure to see there is a notification that Andrew posted, you always know your in for a treat! Great content!
Even the pups understand how beautiful the view is.
My one dog never learned to stay away from porcupines (at least once a summer pulled quills out of its nose and face) nor did she learn to stay away from skunks (at least once a summer we awoke to the eye watering smell of skunk as it wafted up to the upstairs of our house in the middle of the night). Loved that doggie, but she just never learned. Thanks Andrew for your hard work both with the equipment and the videography, top notch. John here from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Yeah, there really isn’t any way to teach a dog about porcupines. Those quills are the lesson. If the dog gets it, done. If not, then well just hope the quills all come out and don’t hit anything vital going in.
Another great video. Liked the battery hold down solution - simple and effective. 💪👍🏼
That dozer is a beast. I honestly didn't expect it to go through those rock piles so easy on the first try.
I always crank the volume and wear earplugs watching Andrew's videos for authenticity.
The dozer couldn’t be in a better place. Great work Andrew 👍🏼
These are the videos I like to watch anytime of the year. Thanks for uploading real true content Andrew
The skill, driving the Dozer and the drone at the same time!! Great to see another repair video that always branches into a bunch of other good stuff.
Always liked the CASE dozers. My good friend, Ronny @ Delaware Construction, had a fleet of Case machines. 850 -1450 888 excavator and of course the 580 backhoe. Nice machine Andrew.
The sunset and rolling fog is quite the view. Nice little bulldozer too. Thanks for sharing.
Well done that part of the street. That little Dozer was 100% worth his money and YOUR fixes.
I laughed so hard when it cut to his "new pet" on a leash. That was great
Aye wee porky 😂😂😂
lol'd at the leash being a ratchet strap too 😅
"should i grab it or its terrible idea?" - cut to mr. porky... "they didnt learn a damn thing." Thats pure comedy.
I actually did laugh out loud
🤣
I am relieved to see you compassion for all animals . Thanks for that.
You can get Hose Armour for your hydraulic hoses too. Forget mil-spec, good to see you making it Andrew-spec.
The road building/improvements is my favorite content on your channel.
Colored tie wraps super cool idea ,it's expensive to change out all of the Hydraulic lines ,but it's the smart thing to do ,I never get over the views from the edge of the mountain outstanding That Belly Pan had a ton of dirt and crap in it
You are an amazing human, and content creator, thank you for taking us along on your adventures. You are a god sent.
You have an awesome piece of property and alot of fun equipment to maintain it. Keep up the videos. Can't wait to see whats ahead.
Its incredible to see how far you've come!! Not that I doubted you, I mean you got your own quarry now with all the big toys!! That's a huge flex! Cheers from Upstate Ny!
That lookout spot is priceless. Crazy good photo of the dogs looking out. You should get a Rhodesian puppy
Great video! The rock you've got out of that crusher is really doing it's job well, it's perfect for making roads and the dozer pushes it like nothing! Love seeing the wheel loader and rock truck working together too!
Welcome back, AC! We’re glad to see you!
Andrew very smart to replace all the hydraulic hoses, going forward I strongly recommend you use two wrenches while tightening any hydraulic hose, using only a single wrench will put a clockwise twist in the internal steel braiding of the hose, (the tighter you make the fitting the more twist) The steel braiding want to be in a neutral state, so it exists a counter clockwise force on the fitting loosing it over a short timeframe, especially with all the vibration a dozer has during normal operation.
Moreover if installed using a second wrench(holding the hose in a neutral state) the hose will hold the fitting tight during operation.
You’re really into the action when you start tilting your iPad screen to help the Bell truck dump the gravel load quicker. Thanks Andrew 😊
Im ruining my new lounge chair because of you. Im leaning left im leaning right and im tensing up trying to get the tree loose that you got stuck in others. When the roller went off the road i almost fell on the floor.Take it easy on me son.
been a little while since I watched your videos and I am very impressed with the heavy machinery you've picked up in the mean time. those are some big toys.
Hi Andrew, the beginning of this video was especially nice, your frisbee throwing skills are off the charts, and thank you for sharing Cody and Blue with us as well as your heavy equipment and projects. I bet that you brighten many people's days! I thank you for letting us see your adventures.
I wonder what he is going to do with
that mountain. Probably something that makes the castle of Camarata look like a tool shed. Yet I don't think that you can alter the skyline of mountains in most states. Knowing Andrew he is building a launch pad and a rocket to beat Elon Musk to Mars. Ironically as I write this comment "Ticket to ride" started playing on that fm radio. Could it be a sign of the future? Lol wow
Love the old Camarata ROAD building vids!
AC may be the star of the show, but we forget to credit the person behind the camera for all their hard work and wonderful cinematography!
👍
That’s me too
Love the military style green color what a cool old dozer. Nothin like old iron
Porcupines are not to be messed with, that is for certain. Many dogs had to learn their lesson the hard way.
Mountain tops and sunsets. You are doing everything right while you're young, Andrew. I'm not much a heavy equipment type but I sure have learned mechanics work is simple enough but can't be lazy about it and that is what makes it a challenge. Thank you for all you do!
Both tracks different speeds. Love the way Case Bulldozers turn.
Andrew your knowledge and channel never fails to amaze me and also you never sell yourself to sponsors. Best wishes to you blue and Cody regards sp
Ole ole, otro video de Andrew para pasar la tarde del domingo.
Gracias Andrew
What a great way to start the week! An AC video!
Always love to watch your vids Andrew , no matter how long they are , the longer the better . Love that Dozer , love the doggies too ...
ANDREW! You're terrifying the porcupine! The dogs will do what dogs do. They will not learn from this!
Animal Control or whatever agency there needs to cite stupid Andrew.
Hi Andrew, thanks for this vid, really great seeing both dogs and you on this Sunday. The sunsets and rises are spectacular. Always great to see. Be getting into fall soon, those shots will be just aw-sum.. Take it easy till the next one..
