The only thing wrong that I saw was that you didn't bring a third person to get out and open/close gates... That new-to-you wrecker is a beast, congrats!
Casey, don't dislike the advice queens or haters, it shows viewer engagement and you are reaching a new audience. It is when you stop getting them you should be worried as you probably aren't growing. There you are, you get your way, I have now told you what you did wrong.
I remember when you backed one of your trucks right up to the edge of a high cliff to clean up some large stuff that people dumped over. And I think you even called that video This one scared me. That was a nail biter.
Dude I love the whole late 80s early 90s MANUAL ford tow truck. If you ever sell it, PLEASE remember me. I will purposefully get into the towing business if I were to end up with it.
For those saying the mirrors are turned the wrong way, they are not, those mirrors are made to be used both ways depending on whether or not you need the extra width when a trailer is being towed. Great job Casey. That is one cool wrecker.
@Bama I agree 110%. My 93 Chevy dually pickup has these type of mirrors installed from the factory. If someone was to use the mirrors in The wider position they would end up getting them knocked off because that would make the vehicle wider than some of these city street lanes. ***Disclaimer***, because I'm leaving a comment here, I do not claim to be an expert.

Well Grumpy ,I had knee replacement on April 29 ,and it’s been tough going,I talked to the physical therapist and he enlightened me how every one is different and we all heal at different levels and that it can take a year to get back to some kind of normalcy,hang in there ,with any luck I’ll have my other knee done next spring
So glad to see Grumpy in another episode. He is never grumpy! He brings a smile to my face. You are a good guy Casey, wish they were more around like you. Take care, stay safe
Casey the wrecker definitely was a good investment since it made that recovery look easy I was really impressed on the very first recovery. Keep up the great work.
That truck is a really nice solid wrecker. Glad Ben sold it to you so we can see a lot more of it in action. Great job on the recovery! Hope Grumpy's knee heals up for him.
Ahh yesss, the old 260 AV air conditioner system. Brings back fond memories of the back roads of my youth. Keep 'um coming Casey, love the "new" wrecker!
That harsh front end can be completely solved with a reverse shackle system. Unreal difference. Strengthens the front frame rails with the cross brace at the front mounts. You can also upgrade to superduty springs, that are all 5/8 hardware instead of 1/2...the x sring for super dutys are a bit longer then the obs, providing an even better ride. Sky's offroad in Central Oregon. Also check out OBS solutions.
The best thing for grumpy's knee is to keep moving. The more you use it the faster it will get better. I had knee surgery a year ago and it is still sore from time to time. keep moving. Good job on that recovery Casey the F-250 was a purchase.
WOW. That was an amazing pull for sure. If I lived where they do I would have a house built there and keep the 5th wheel up where I lived in it in the winter so that it wasn’t having to be dragged in and out of that area. I don’t think it would be good for it to come and go from there too many times. Stay safe and God Bless
That truck is a monster! First real job with it and you got 40K pounds up a silty hill, did some badass wheelies, and you got grumpy out. Absolutely effing amazing! Make sure grumpy keeps up on the exercises or he'll cripple himself. Great job! 😁👍
God well done that record is going to be a very good attribute to your job. Nothing like helping other people and glad to see Grumpy up and around with you!
Glad to see you up and about Grumpy,take care slow and steady from one old bloke to another it is not a race. Lucky you have a nice young bloke to look after you. Nice job Casey. 🇦🇺
Casey, I always enjoy your reality and transparency. I am sorry to hear about Grumpy having some issues healing his knee. I have over 30 years as a Holistic Health Detective, and like you are resourceful in thinking outside the box with solutions. In fact, that's what I enjoy so much about watching you, is the way you bring in resources and knowledge to help people out of tough spots!
I do same job , you do here in south central Alaska i use a 1988 f350 7.3 n/a c-6 /440 holmes its a trusty rig and paid for. I use it alot for snow ditch divers and flipping toy trailers .still gets 18 mpg .
Glad to se Mr. Grumpy back in the saddle! That was awesome. I can't imagine what they were thinking buying that huge rig knowing they have that hill to deal with but it is good to be comfortable.
I pull a 35’ fifth wheel with a 2WD F250 and folks ask me why I don’t have a 4WD. My answer is that if I’m going somewhere that needs 4WD, I don’t need to be pulling a trailer there, I’m too old to ride rough now. I’m enjoying watching the rescues without being the rescued.
Mate other than the truck was pulling serious weight and lifting the front you controlled it and the winches just drug that 5th wheel up id say that trucks a valuable member of cascade heavy recovery great to see you back Grumpy hope the recovery gets easier soon. Great effort again Casey👍🇦🇺
Good work All. I agree with Casey, that was some skill getting that trailer in and out by the owner. One wrong depth-perception and either the front goes off the edge or the trailer tire gets bit by a rock in the bank. I just delivered food to people in tents in Portland yesterday. My truck engine is being rebuilt and had to borrow a church one-ton. Wing-window A/C.
The wreckers done well didn't even feel it on there, looks very capable, great buy, it's good that Grumpy is back on his feet, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Great video Casey. They are going to either need a smaller trailer or a much bigger truck to pull it. Great to see Grumpy hope his knee gets better soon.
Nice truck. Moving up sweetly, if you ever think you want to get rid of it, lol let me know. I think you’re going to do a great job with that truck. Can’t wait to see your videos.
I don't know why, but i was having reaal doubts about you being able to help them there, very poor surface road, big pull load, unknown tow truck. You all surprised me, good man and good machine, a pleasure to watch thanks
Good morning Casey. You did real good! Looks like your Ford is going to be an awesome asset to your business! That 5th wheel most definitely is huge to have out on roads like that. Grumpy it is really good to have you back! I had one of my knees replaced 8 years ago, you're doing good Grumpy it will continue to get better with time! The Doctors like to down play full knee replacement as a "day surgery" but that could not be further from the truth, it is a serious surgery when they are going in and cutting through tissue muscles and bones, sawing out your knee joint and then hammering into your bones some metal parts and then installing a plastic puck for it to move back and forth on!!!!! It takes a lot of time to heal and there is a lot of pain filled sleepless nights and it takes a lot of work on our part to regain range of motion and strength... So you are doing real good Grumpy! 👍👍👍
Total Knee Replacement Surgery 2011 - HD The above is the title of a video on YT should anyone care to see in real time how a knee replacement is performed.
I’m putting this comment here for all the internet experts to tell me all the things I did wrong! Do your best 😂😂
The only thing wrong that I saw was that you didn't bring a third person to get out and open/close gates... That new-to-you wrecker is a beast, congrats!
Ok let me try 😄 While you were traveling behind the 5th wheel, how would you have gone past it to pull it again when it got stuck again ?
Casey, don't dislike the advice queens or haters, it shows viewer engagement and you are reaching a new audience. It is when you stop getting them you should be worried as you probably aren't growing.
There you are, you get your way, I have now told you what you did wrong.
And you said you weren't good at this.....Nice truck!
You forgot to turn on your flashers to warn other vehicles on that dirt road. 😄
The first and most important piece of equipment that I didn't see was your noise canceling headphones nice recovery Casey
The way it bit and hunkered down when you were using the yankum was impressive. Torque!
Having the rope hooked to the boom helped pull my back end down and bite in for traction
@@CaseyLaDelle man it worked.. very nice 👍 love the videos, btw
That truck payed off big time. Great save of them. I was like yep when I saw the tires dig in ur were going to get it.
I remember when you backed one of your trucks right up to the edge of a high cliff to clean up some large stuff that people dumped over. And I think you even called that video This one scared me. That was a nail biter.
The new to you wrecker made short work of that job. Congratulations on acquiring that workhorse. I will be watching for more.
I had 4 and 60 air in all my trucks till my 78 F250. What a difference. Lol.
Double winched and Yankum Rope, you da man.
Dude I love the whole late 80s early 90s MANUAL ford tow truck. If you ever sell it, PLEASE remember me. I will purposefully get into the towing business if I were to end up with it.
Central Oregon is gods country, you are so lucky to live there brother! Except in the winter lol.
You did good Casey, you did good.
Truck makes it nice for recoveries .
the little truck that could......and did!
For those saying the mirrors are turned the wrong way, they are not, those mirrors are made to be used both ways depending on whether or not you need the extra width when a trailer is being towed. Great job Casey. That is one cool wrecker.
Just remember that everyone in UA-cam comments are experts lol
@Bama I agree 110%. My 93 Chevy dually pickup has these type of mirrors installed from the factory. If someone was to use the mirrors in The wider position they would end up getting them knocked off because that would make the vehicle wider than some of these city street lanes.

NICE SAVE -- UR A REAL PRO!!!
All 3 of you did good 👍
Wow. What a way to live for the summer. In that beautiful country, in that big trailer.
That’s the way I want to retire.

So glad to see Grumpy in another episode. He is never grumpy! He brings a smile to my face. You are a good guy Casey, wish they were more around like you. Take care, stay safe

Loved the "Grumpy Cam" too !
Nice truck. Lucky You.
Your wrecker is a BEAST!! Love it!
Glad to see Grumpy is back ,, us recliner drivers gotta stick together .. LOL And U know we don't mind watch others work ;-}

Great to see grumpy back with you again
Wrecker did great!
Great Job there lads
Creamsicle or maybe Screamsicle. Nice job Casey.
Brilliant truck Casey. Love the pivot wing windows. I miss them on modern cars.
Great truck!
I am in love,look at her.4 wheel drive dually,old school doing it.Please keep posting!
Love the old-style gas pumps
Casey, that's a beast of a creampuff you've got there! That Ford still has many years of doing what it was designed for in it.
Grumpy's back!

grumpy your awesome take itn easey on thta knee
The Ol' Bricknose did good!!
Are you taking her to the tow truck Olympics? Thanks for sharing.
No
@@CaseyLaDelle Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure many people were wondering. Thanks for the Videos!
Grumpy is awesome
Facts
Heavy "C" to the rescue 👍 and not a 30min ad🤣🤣🤣🤣 great job and love that truck 👍 and thanks for bringing Grumpy along 🥸
Yes, the number of dually trucks pulling those huge camper trailers is amazing.
I always enjoy the video's or I would not be watching 4@5 a night every night thanks for your time 👍👍👍👍👍
Casey the wrecker definitely was a good investment since it made that recovery look easy I was really impressed on the very first recovery. Keep up the great work.
Always nice to see Grumpy! That new truck is a beast!
The old wrecker was a good buy, and we are all happy to see grumpy on another, best wishes that the knee heals quick.
Glad to see there is someone else that talks to their vehicles. Stay safe.
That wrecker just makes me smile every time I see it now.
I liked the wing window air conditioning
Excellent recovery. Well thought out, as usual. And what a nice guy, providing water to the people you pulled out! Way to go!
That truck is a really nice solid wrecker. Glad Ben sold it to you so we can see a lot more of it in action. Great job on the recovery! Hope Grumpy's knee heals up for him.

I am so in awe of you Casey! The logistics involved to do what you do - my gosh - you are one smart guy! WOW
Oh my! Fabulous recovery Casey. You and the truck made it look so easy. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸
This is the first time I have read all the comments. Because you phrased it and peaked my interest. Great job as most always
WOW. That was an amazing pull for sure. If I lived where they do I would have a house built there and keep the 5th wheel up where I lived in it in the winter so that it wasn’t having to be dragged in and out of that area. I don’t think it would be good for it to come and go from there too many times. Stay safe and God Bless
Love the sound of that 7.3 IDI compared to the powerstroke.
I absolutely hate it.
@@CaseyLaDelle 😕
@@ericearhart name one good thing about a 7.3 IDI.
@@CaseyLaDelle it's easy to work on. Oh, it's an international too. But that might not be everyones cup of tea...😁😁
@@paledawgoffroad3743 So is basically any engine from that era. Now name one category where it’s better than a gas engine.
I love how remote it is were u live. It's almost like you're living back in time.
That truck is a monster! First real job with it and you got 40K pounds up a silty hill, did some badass wheelies, and you got grumpy out. Absolutely effing amazing! Make sure grumpy keeps up on the exercises or he'll cripple himself. Great job! 😁👍

It did the job and looked good with that orange/white paint job 👍
Great commentary by Mr Grumpy! Great to have you back!
She needs a name... “Old Truck” doesn’t do her justice.
You did that recovery flawlessly,
Glad to se Mr. Grumpy back in the saddle! That was awesome. I can't imagine what they were thinking buying that huge rig knowing they have that hill to deal with but it is good to be comfortable.
Putting that thing to work! Nice job!
Got to love wing windows I miss them on modern trucks and cars.
Casey you have one of the coolest looking wreckers on UA-cam in my opinion. Looks like that fifth wheel was all that f-250 wanted lol. Good job!
Great job. Take care of that knee grumpy hope it heals soon.. From Québec Canada
Thanks for taking us along. Nice camera work also.
No disco ball wings on this truck. Great rig.
Interesting, Thank You . A fine example of how the right equipment and knowlage , makes every thing work better
I am happy to watch you Casey. Have a Wonderful Evening. God Bless
Nice rescue, Casey.
another great video Casey, i like the way you make your videos, it makes them seem more genuine then say higher production ones.
I pull a 35’ fifth wheel with a 2WD F250 and folks ask me why I don’t have a 4WD. My answer is that if I’m going somewhere that needs 4WD, I don’t need to be pulling a trailer there, I’m too old to ride rough now. I’m enjoying watching the rescues without being the rescued.

Mate other than the truck was pulling serious weight and lifting the front you controlled it and the winches just drug that 5th wheel up id say that trucks a valuable member of cascade heavy recovery great to see you back Grumpy hope the recovery gets easier soon. Great effort again Casey👍🇦🇺
Great job Casey and Grumpy. I just want to do a shout out for the wing window .... Man I wish they would bring them back.
Wing windows work great when you have shorts on... Until you catch a bee down your shorts. Ask me how I know. Still use the wings though to this day.
very well done - the best tools are the ones that have been tested and proven effective in the real world - nice truck
Good work All. I agree with Casey, that was some skill getting that trailer in and out by the owner. One wrong depth-perception and either the front goes off the edge or the trailer tire gets bit by a rock in the bank. I just delivered food to people in tents in Portland yesterday.

Sounds like an old 6.9 liter. We had an 84' F250 with the 6.9 liter. They are a heavy beast. Oh, and loved the wing-window shot - miss those times.
It's the 7.3 idi. 87 was the last year they used the 6.9 idi.
Great video Casey.
They are going to either need a smaller trailer or a much bigger truck to pull it.
Great to see Grumpy hope his knee gets better soon.
That was a difficult pull. Good Job Casey.
What a truck. You scored with that wrecker. Course you already know that. Great job 👍
Nice truck. Moving up sweetly, if you ever think you want to get rid of it, lol let me know. I think you’re going to do a great job with that truck. Can’t wait to see your videos.
The wrecker did a great job pulling that truck and trailer out really good! Good job Casey and Grumpy on the camera!
Nice old school Ford wrecker got a old school Chevy wrecker myself but in pushing a big block myself lol
I don't know why, but i was having reaal doubts about you being able to help them there, very poor surface road, big pull load, unknown tow truck. You all surprised me, good man and good machine, a pleasure to watch thanks
