It's amazing to me how calm Andrew remains while dealing with these break downs and mishaps. I'd be swearing, throwing tools, and busting my knuckles from hastily trying to remove parts while doing repairs. He's a very good role model for dealing with life's adversities and how to properly maintain your vehicles. Thanks for all the great content!
@@cpm324 Ya he's a dumbass for working hard to afford all the toys he has so he can have fun running around in them at full speed. He then gets to make great videos of himself fixing them all so he can build his channel...real stupid guy. Jealous and lacking the big picture seems to be your talents as opposed to the positivity of Andrew and his skills as an operator and mechanic.
I have an old Kielder (UK brand) that will not die also! Left out in terrential rain for 2 days freezing conditions. Found it in a puddle by the car. Still works just the same as before! I like it even more now.
Hey Andrew. My father recently passed and he loved your videos. He has told me that you were one of the hardest working young man hes ever seen. Said you were an amzing welder also coming from a man that welded for 40 years. Me and him loved watching your videos and talking about all the stuff youve done and ive learned some stuff myself. Keep up the good work and hope you have a blessed day.
All within context. If you or I do that, its money out of pocket (fun aside). If he does it, its a video that will net X dollars in ad revenue. So its easily a drop in the bucket.
Andrew, I have to admit that every time I watch you repair something, I always want to tell you how it 'should' be done - but I have to say, you get results. Furthermore, you get results without spending a million dollars, or taking forever and a day - and your repairs last. All proper respect to you, and I can't wait until your next repair video.
Yamaha product testing manager: - So engineer Hirohito, how is the long term torture test going on the Rhino model? - Well Sir we have learned that Andrew Camarata has bought one over in America, so to save money we have ended our test prematurely, Sir.
As a guy who used to work in Landscaping and snow plowing 25 years ago these videos bring visceral memories of wetness and cold. I can even smell the smells.
It shows us Andrew is a man with a heart of compassion and dedication. He wanted Levi to live to the fullest, obviously loved him dearly and did not mind anybody knowing it. A man walks tall when shown that kind of integrity and dedication!
I remember helping my brother's golden lab, Maisy, who had fallen in the lake between the pontoon boat and the dock. 14 years old, like Levi, her arthritic legs could no longer keep her afloat, after spending her life swimming for miles. After all, she was a lab. I grabbed her by the collar and got her on to the dock. In the process we locked eyes and the undying expression of gratitude is etched on my brain, in a good way. Of all my brother's labs, Maisy is my favorite.
Andrew you are a marvel !! There is absolutely NOTHING you cannot fix !! From trucks, snowmobiles, jet skies , four wheelers and trailers nothing is a trouble to you !!!
Watching Andrew Camarata, it taught me that things don't always have to be perfect, it only has to work... such as I've watched one of his video where he used a "chain saw"... yes... a chain saw, to cut a hole in the dashboard in his truck to install a MP3 player....
Love seeing Levi. He's gotten so old so quickly :( Seems like only last year that his legs were stiff. You should build him an elevator so he doesn't have to go up the stairs!
Just like with people, if you don't use it, you lose it. I'd rather see him get Levi a Help Em Up Harness or something similar, so he can safely help him up and down as needed As long as Levi can do it himself or with just a little help, he needs to keep doing it.
Andrew, thanks so much for your videos. We live in a throwaway society and I often have to convince people that their broken 'thing' can be repaired and often improved. It takes some time, effort and some money, but far less dollars than buying a new one (which will probably also break prematurely). I direct the doubters to your videos to prove the point 😁
"Back in my day if I wanted firewood I had to load it in my UTV then load that on my skid steer then load that into my excavator then load that onto my telehandler and climb all of it to unload it by hand."
Had to cut tree down then chunk it in 14" sections then split it then stack it then carry it in then burn it Got so I knew certain logs what time and when it was cut Thank god!!! Now I'm in SC and only worry about cooling
Split 30 cord of dead Elm for a man with five wood stoves one summer and helped his logger buddy drop and deliver to the splitting piles. Lots of the wormy and wet Elm was 20 - 30 inches across and needed to be halved to be handled on the splitter. Fun times.
Take care of Levi all the way to the end. Let him pass on while you are taking good care of him. A good friend like Levi deserves no less. Caring for a friend at home and caring for him as he passes is the best gift you can give Levi. Let him pass naturally surrounded by his family. My old dog just passed and he was immobile for only a couple of days before died so the process is not very long. Levi looks as if is not long for this world. Good job well done, Andrew.
Andrew - Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoy your attitude of anything can be fixed and my Home can be much more than this! You are a Master of Many! Cheers to YOU, Levi and Cody
I feel like you can't catch a break sometimes on these projects, but I am so impressed with how calm and ambitious you are no matter what. Really speaks volume and sets an example for all of us. Love you brother. Keep crushing it and always having bigger and bigger goals!
@@chicagovasko my dog is “like” my first born and had been around way longer.. Not that high but he’s up there. It is sad. He’s getting old but he’s in great shape. Hoping for another good 5 years!
@@SubStationSparky They say when you have a dog for life, it's their life, not ours. We have to go through the pain of losing them 5 or 6 times in our lifetimes.
I feel ya, My parents frenchie is now 9 she's in great shape but you can tell she's old nowadays. Don't know if i want to ever get "own" dog since i dont want to lose another Best friend. Just makes me feel bad thinking she has likely only 2 years left
Andy, is / has something from the day he was born. Something you don’t hear the term mentioned hardly anymore. But, you did hear it in the 70s and in the 80s quite often. HE IS, without a doubt, “MECHANICALLY INCLINED.” “Mechanically-Gifted.” you used to hear that term too but not nearly as much as the first one. Back when I went to school all the boys took shop the men that ran the shop could spot the young guys that were mechanically inclined in a heartbeat. And I do mean, in a heart-beat. They had a test in all schools back-in-the-day. Back in those days it would’ve been considered a very easy test. Today I seriously doubt two out of 10 could pass it even at 18 years of age or 21 and I’m being dead serious. Everybody passed it where I went to school. But, I grew up in a hardcore Logging & Ranching / Farming County. I do mean hardcore. All the Dames, the Gals, had to take HOME EC = HOME Economic’s. They learned how to cook 👨🍳 / how to bake. How to run a household budget. How to run a home. PROPERLY. In other words , HOW TO CLEAN PROPERLY!!!!! How to be a woman!!!!! Back when I went to school, many young girls when they started Home Ec, already had a leg up, in several areas. Especially in cooking. Because back then, women took pride in the kitchen!!!! IN THERE COOKING!! BAKING! you would hear girls talking to each other about different recipes their mother gave them to bring to school and they would be so proud of that.. Another reason a girl matured so much faster back when I was coming up, was because they had to. So did boys. Girls got married far younger than they do today and when you’re married young and you start having kids your ass has to grow up. So do the boys. Your ass had to grow up so fast!!!!! you learn real quick after you quit the first job and you had your first kid! You learned what the Termanology, “CATCHING-HELL”, REALLY MEAN’T. From your wife first!!!! And rightfully so. Then your daddy 2nd!!!! and most of them smacked your ass around while he was teaching you a lesson and also telling you, “what, you expect to lay-up on me and your mother!!! Sponge off our asses for food!!!!! no it’s going to happen sport! Not gonna happen!! But, we won’t see that grandchild of ours go without. But you and your wife are going to learn where to get a few bags of free groceries at.” And, if you had more than one already then you heard this out of your daddy. “ we won’t see those grandchildren of ours go hungry. But you? Shit out of luck. And you didn’t even think about filing for food stamps like so many you see today that will do it in a heart-beat!!!!…. Talk about feeling sooooooooo full of shame.
If there's anything to get out of AC's repair videos it's this: "Your ability to assess and repair anything and your demeanor while working on it are completely dependent on having the right tool for the job." He uses the correct tool in every situation, and knowing that itself unfortunately sometimes requires the experience of doing the job with the wrong tool first. It's not just simply the 'right vs wrong tool', it's more than that. It's about working smarter. Like having the overhead crane available. You can't hate on him for using it. He built it to use! It does bother me quite a bit that while coming up I was trained to work with hand tools for a variety of applications, including automotive, but I recognize that i have a complex and a hatred for most nut & bolt repair jobs because I was taught to use the wrong tool out of ignorance or lack of resources or both, and in turn, I never developed a calmness or an interest in fixing things. It's clear that AC was trained young, but it's also clear that he surpassed his teacher quickly and developed an almost extraterrestrial ability to understand the right tool for the job even if he's gotta build the damn tool first. I don't have this trait - not inherited or developed. It's easy to watch AC and think 'well he can afford every damn tool on the planet and he can justify owning certain high price tools that I simply cannot because he actually owns equipment that justifies owning the tool to properly repair it.' That's just an illusion, though. His ability to repair something patiently and correctly is not a coinciding phenomenon with owning a bunch of equipment. One is very much the result of the other. Thanks to AC and UA-cam I can bring that awareness to my own son one day and maybe he won't end up hating fixing things like I do.
For icy conditions, i use tires and tire chains on my UTV. For deep fluffy snow, i use tracks. Tracks suck on ice. Tires suck in the deep soft stuff. I use the same setup on my bobcat as well. Tires and chains for ice, ToT tracks for soft deep snow and mud.
Well for me this was a very gratifying video. Andrew was busy doing a repair on a machine where he encountered molded plastic and at no time did he fire up a chainsaw! I believe that one day, we will see a new stereo install in a pickup where he uses a zip cutter instead of a chainsaw on the dash. No bits of shattered plastic on the seats or anywhere! He's not just amazing, he keeps on improving. Awesome!
Husband says getting that you installing that gantry was the one of the smartest moves you made in your shop, and seeing you load up Levi for a ridge with his dad, was awesome. I'm in love with that dog, he is a very Loyal and Precious partner to have, and even made a bit of a dog angel in the snow:-). Look forward to future videos. Give Levi a hugs for me..
Andrew is always a thrill to watch. Educational as well. What he say took him fifteen minutes, would probably have taken me 3 hours pain and anguish not to mention much colorful language. He is cool calm and collected.
You know that a majority of these videos with repair stuff isn't completed just in an afternoon, right? Theyre filmed in pieces when he works on it/gets parts in, and cuts it together for almost all of them. ....little better than filming taking something apart just to end the video with "well gotta wait for parts, see you next time"
Just happened to find your channel .I have the same UTV ,i have replaced the left rear axle a couple of years ago. Thanks for sharing this valuable information . i also am a do it yourself person. Working on cars, tractors, farm machinery and my Rhino 660. I have tools and resources to fix but you can"t get enough know how to.
I am replacing my left rear axle soon too. It was fine, my sister borrowed the thing and it came back broken. I think she was spinning the tires 30mph on ice and hit traction.
Levi reminds me of my old yellow lab “Duke”, the best lab I’ve ever had and my ole buddy, they are irreplaceable and I’ll never forget him. Levi is a good dog, I enjoy seeing you still getting him out. Cody seems just as goofy as my new lab Pete, takes a few years for them to settle down. Enjoy your channel, Thanks for sharing.
@Andrew Camarata, as a retired Heavy Duty mechanic and after watching you lift things and strain to lift heavy things onto your work bench or just move things around the shop, have you ever considered building a shop Bridge Crane. I used one in a shop I was working and it made life in that shop so much simpler, easier keeping my back healthy and not wearing my body out for my future. Keep up the fine videos as I truly enjoy them, remember we all need to work smarter not harder, good luck..
i came to comments to say nearly the same thing but, wonder why didnt he sling it, hook it to the chain fall then just lift it but nope he just Andrew’d it out the way
The 1st video i watched was you changing the starter on one of your diesel Cat's with help from the sledge hammer I was hooked!!...now i just saw Levi for the 1st time...Levi took your talents to a whole new level!
Andrew is a wonder! Takes a UTV stress tests it, breaks it, figures out don't do whatever broke it, fixes same, often improves design love it the videos are captivating!
Well impressed with your enthusiasm even when somthing breaks down here in the uk we panic abit and think how much is that going to cost where as you just crack on and fix it. Nice to see im not alone in this .Great vid Andrew
I'd like to see a tool management and organization video. He has tons of tools and I'd like to see his method of storage and organization so he can find the tool when it's needed.
I love that knowing little laugh when he says "while doing that" after the clip of booting it over logs, cracks me up. And the casual "shouldn't really sound like that" when it sounds like a bag of bolts in a tumble dryer when spinning down. Always a good watch!
When I was a kid of 10 or so my Dad told me "Jim you would tear up an Anvil with a Corn Cob" But then again I never did. Ah yes, that wonderful Ball of Yellow Hair Levistill moving around fairly well. And the snow rubs feel great to him. Give him a belly rub for my wife and me. Stay safe my friend.
Got a lot done to in this video. Thanks! Great that you picked Levi up and took him along. I’m sure he misses going along everywhere with you the way he used to be able to do. This getting old crap is terrible.
guess youve never watched biasply and zipties videos. that UTV is meant to be used on farm, work sites. Andrew might be a pushing limits of what was intended for but he certainly isnt out to straight destroy his stuff
My first thoughts 💭- “oh hell no this poor little thing not going to like this” as the vision of the radio fittings and starter motor removal flashed through my mind 💥
I like to call Andrew...the Resoration Man...you got a dead machine? Give it to The Restoration Man...he will restore it to life....sometimes better than before..the real tool man. Also, amazing patience with that new muffler install...and in general.
Andrew, your property and home is looking very good. Your vid's are just fantastic. Great job. You never amaze me on how easy you make all the jobs look and go.. Thanks Andrew.
Andrew, I was watching one of many videos and saw where you started a bulldozer front loader. Smoke went everywhere. This is just a thought I was saying to myself, I wouldn't want that going thru my house. Your garage or work shop has the upper floor wide open. I know you access that floor to move things around. So building a wall would not work. So I thought what if you had a removable vinyl curtain across that opening so heat from your home wouldn't leak out. And you would still be able to look down at your shop and let light in hthat upper floor. That wouldn't cost a hole hell of a lot. It would keep your heat in your house. Which in winter can get pretty cold. Well so much for my thoughts! Keep the videos coming. Thanks Gary
Upgraded my 03 676 Kawasaki prairie primary clutch, springs and weights to a complete Cvtech unit. Best upgrade to date. Get correct clutch to driving style and tire size. Thanks Cvtech.
It's amazing to me how calm Andrew remains while dealing with these break downs and mishaps. I'd be swearing, throwing tools, and busting my knuckles from hastily trying to remove parts while doing repairs. He's a very good role model for dealing with life's adversities and how to properly maintain your vehicles. Thanks for all the great content!
I'm sure there's plenty of that cut out of the videos but I agree, he seems pretty calm most of the time.
Christ he's the dumdass causing all the break downs and mishaps.
His friends dad says Andrew is always a calm non swearing kinda guy. He should know, he built the whole steel roof with Andrew.
I had $5 on him cutting that muffler up to fit it in, then re-welding it back together.
@@cpm324 Ya he's a dumbass for working hard to afford all the toys he has so he can have fun running around in them at full speed. He then gets to make great videos of himself fixing them all so he can build his channel...real stupid guy.

Levi making snow angels was the best part.
Came for this comment.
MAKING " SNOUT " ANGELS.
Levi is the best!!!!!!!!!!
That was the best moment of 2021 so far, that and the fact Levi hasn't choked Cody out yet. :)
That was pretty sweet, think I got a cavity from watching that!
That Craftsman impact just will not die.
Levi - !!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same impact they're a good tool the batteries not so much.
batteries suck on them
I love my Royobi impact. The batteries are great, and I use it so much for small engine repair
I have an old Kielder (UK brand) that will not die also! Left out in terrential rain for 2 days freezing conditions. Found it in a puddle by the car. Still works just the same as before! I like it even more now.
~~~~ .lol.... It's in almost every video. I hear there's a place reserved at the Smithsonian for it....
Just love watching your videos. Your dogs are living their best lives ❤

I DO believe that andrew agrees with the phrase "refuse to lose", whatever the project or machine.... "andrew will WIN" !
He lost when he got that asphalt roller.... still awesome
dont force it;..get a bigger hammer !
Levi making that snow angel was probably the cutest thing I've seen this year ♥️
"Probably running this thing a little too hard"
Cuts to doing a wheelie over a fallen tree
I freaking love Andrew's mastery of understated humor!
But did you see the smile on his face? Pure Joy xD
All within context. If you or I do that, its money out of pocket (fun aside). If he does it, its a video that will net X dollars in ad revenue. So its easily a drop in the bucket.

Aww,...U figured that too. Why not? Andrew gets to do what he loves, and we love watching

It shows us Andrew is a man with a heart of compassion and dedication. He wanted Levi to live to the fullest, obviously loved him dearly and did not mind anybody knowing it. A man walks tall when shown that kind of integrity and dedication!

I don’t care what I am doing I will still stop what ever I am doing to come and watch you
Exactly what I just did!
Said no brain surgeon ever.
I am saddened to see Levi as an old man. Such a good pup, but always out of breath. It's heart breaking.
Today I feel like Levi, and like Cody when I was a young man.
I remember helping my brother's golden lab, Maisy, who had fallen in the lake between the pontoon boat and the dock. 14 years old, like Levi, her arthritic legs could no longer keep her afloat, after spending her life swimming for miles.

True, but I'm also feeling old watching Andrew get older. I remember when he used to go mud bogging with his friends in high school.
Levi has a great active and complete life. No reason to fear the death.
I wish every live creature could have this same opportunity.
Andrew you are a marvel !! There is absolutely NOTHING you cannot fix !! From trucks, snowmobiles, jet skies , four wheelers and trailers nothing is a trouble to you !!!
I always dread the line “well this is done let’s go and work on something else” because it means the end of the video
read my mind
That track vs wheel ute video looks good... Can't wait to see it now haha
Watching Andrew Camarata, it taught me that things don't always have to be perfect, it only has to work... such as I've watched one of his video where he used a "chain saw"... yes... a chain saw, to cut a hole in the dashboard in his truck to install a MP3 player....
Love seeing Levi. He's gotten so old so quickly :( Seems like only last year that his legs were stiff.
You should build him an elevator so he doesn't have to go up the stairs!
That would be awesome.. Nothing fancy just a Lil one.
I was thinking the same thing the first time I saw Levi climbing those stairs with his old age obvious.
I'd hate to see him fall coming down the stairs. Andrew, please bow to Levi's fans and build him an elevator, even if it is a box lifted by a rope.
Just like with people, if you don't use it, you lose it. I'd rather see him get Levi a Help Em Up Harness or something similar, so he can safely help him up and down as needed As long as Levi can do it himself or with just a little help, he needs to keep doing it.

It's clear that AC was trained young, but it's also clear that he surpassed his teacher quickly and developed an almost extraterrestrial ability to understand the right tool for the job even if he's gotta build the damn tool first. I don't have this trait - not inherited or developed. It's easy to watch AC and think 'well he can afford every damn tool on the planet and he can justify owning certain high price tools that I simply cannot because he actually owns equipment that justifies owning the tool to properly repair it.' That's just an illusion, though. His ability to repair something patiently and correctly is not a coinciding phenomenon with owning a bunch of equipment. One is very much the result of the other. Thanks to AC and UA-cam I can bring that awareness to my own son one day and maybe he won't end up hating fixing things like I do.
For icy conditions, i use tires and tire chains on my UTV. For deep fluffy snow, i use tracks. Tracks suck on ice. Tires suck in the deep soft stuff. I use the same setup on my bobcat as well. Tires and chains for ice, ToT tracks for soft deep snow and mud.
"I prolly ran this thing a little too hard" Should be a T-Shirt with all your Different vehicles on it!
Always an awesome video. Levi, I feel your pain my brother, hang in there buddy, we all love you !!
I tell you what, you never see that CL 35 skid steer not working, what a reliable machine that is 👍
Andrew, I like your repair content, but I love the way you treat Levi. You show that geriatric pets are still family. You have a great heart.
Cody: I bet I can beat you there.
Levi: Move over so I can ride, but let me out if you are going to try something crazy.
“Houston, We have a problem. Stand by. Hey, somebody get Camarata on the phone.
an call his foreman Levi too!
Uhhhhh okayyy...
Yep, guy can fix almost anything except people.
this is actually hilarious
@@gueragaldamez5490 It's really not...
Well for me this was a very gratifying video. Andrew was busy doing a repair on a machine where he encountered molded plastic and at no time did he fire up a chainsaw! I believe that one day, we will see a new stereo install in a pickup where he uses a zip cutter instead of a chainsaw on the dash. No bits of shattered plastic on the seats or anywhere! He's not just amazing, he keeps on improving. Awesome!
I think it most interesting that he used a chainsaw to cut the dash ,I laughter out loud.
Husband says getting that you installing that gantry was the one of the smartest moves you made in your shop, and seeing you load up Levi for a ridge with his dad, was awesome. I'm in love with that dog, he is a very Loyal and Precious partner to have, and even made a bit of a dog angel in the snow:-). Look forward to future videos. Give Levi a hugs for me..
Andrew is always a thrill to watch. Educational as well. What he say took him fifteen minutes, would probably have taken me 3 hours pain and anguish not to mention much colorful language. He is cool calm and collected.
Glad to see the hoist in use. Looks so simple but that was an amazing addition to your shop.
You have a nice couple of doggies. I like seeing how happy they are.
I don't think I know any other happier dogs.
Andrew "I prolly ran this thing a little too hard" -plays clip of utv full send! Yea I'd say u did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your initial "fine adjustment" with the boot to the muffler has made me love you for all time!
Well.... You definitely push the limits of your equipment... and your repairs.
For a guy living in the middle of the forrest he sure has a good parts store available
Couldn't have a show like this anywhere else in the world - only in the U.S. are equipment and parts this readily affordable and accessible.
You know that a majority of these videos with repair stuff isn't completed just in an afternoon, right? Theyre filmed in pieces when he works on it/gets parts in, and cuts it together for almost all of them.
....little better than filming taking something apart just to end the video with "well gotta wait for parts, see you next time"
@@EdwardTilley and in all of Europe
For a guy living in the middle of the forest, he sure has a good parts store available and in all of Europe.
Yea because he just ran to the parts store... you don’t think he ordered these parts online?
The editing in the video is top-notch.
Levi and the snow angel made my day.
Just happened to find your channel .I have the same UTV ,i have replaced the left rear axle a couple of years ago. Thanks for sharing this valuable information . i also am a do it yourself person. Working on cars, tractors, farm machinery and my Rhino 660. I have tools and resources to fix but you can"t get enough know how to.
I am replacing my left rear axle soon too. It was fine, my sister borrowed the thing and it came back broken. I think she was spinning the tires 30mph on ice and hit traction.
You tear into that stuff like you do it everyday! You've got so much energy I get exhausted just watching you work! I enjoy your videos Andrew!
Idk if I've ever heard Andrew crack up. Definitely going balls hard up that hill!
I think that thing also needs a stereo, grab the chainsaw.
That cracked me up in that other video. Andrew is fierce sometimes !
Aman Brother!!
Only Andrew fans will get that one ... haha
🔥Wow I didn't see this video coming. Thanks for the unexpected upload 👋🥴👍🏻
Levi reminds me of my old yellow lab “Duke”, the best lab I’ve ever had and my ole buddy, they are irreplaceable and I’ll never forget him. Levi is a good dog, I enjoy seeing you still getting him out. Cody seems just as goofy as my new lab Pete, takes a few years for them to settle down. Enjoy your channel, Thanks for sharing.
@Andrew Camarata, as a retired Heavy Duty mechanic and after watching you lift things and strain to lift heavy things onto your work bench or just move things around the shop, have you ever considered building a shop Bridge Crane. I used one in a shop I was working and it made life in that shop so much simpler, easier keeping my back healthy and not wearing my body out for my future. Keep up the fine videos as I truly enjoy them, remember we all need to work smarter not harder, good luck..
Andrew: Has ceiling pulley system to help with heavy lifts
Also Andrew: Carries incredibly heavy UTV bed with his bare hands
😅 yeah didn't think of that till I saw this
I don't think he thought it was that heavy.
@@NoWr2Run What both times he lifted it? (Off and On)
i came to comments to say nearly the same thing but, wonder why didnt he sling it, hook it to the chain fall then just lift it but nope he just Andrew’d it out the way
There's a Video of him installing the Hoist.
That old craftsman impact driver has been a good one ! Good video!
Andrew you’re are one prolific mechanic man, a monster of tools, great work!
Its good that you have toys that can carry your other toys , little skid steer is being helpful today carrying his broken brother around.
I enjoyed the video. You remind me of myself at a much younger age. It was a nice touch at the end with the drone to show the beautiful property.
Cody is such a character....and glove snatcher...LOL...:-)
I really admire this guy.
25:30 Levi in the snow 😍 that melted my little heart 🥰
The 1st video i watched was you changing the starter on one of your diesel Cat's with help from the sledge hammer I was hooked!!...now i just saw Levi for the 1st time...Levi took your talents to a whole new level!
Andrew is a wonder! Takes a UTV stress tests it, breaks it, figures out don't do whatever broke it, fixes same, often improves design love it the videos are captivating!
Well impressed with your enthusiasm even when somthing breaks down here in the uk we panic abit and think how much is that going to cost where as you just crack on and fix it. Nice to see im not alone in this .Great vid Andrew
sums me up perfectly. all I see is hassle, time taken and costs to be endured. then I default to, fk it, I'll do it in the summer.
AC sees it as another great vid for his fans 👍
I'd like to see a tool management and organization video. He has tons of tools and I'd like to see his method of storage and organization so he can find the tool when it's needed.
Hey Jeff
Might sound a little boring to some, but I'm all in !
"Tracks versus tires" .. nah I think I'll just send it ! 💪🏼
I love that knowing little laugh when he says "while doing that" after the clip of booting it over logs, cracks me up. And the casual "shouldn't really sound like that" when it sounds like a bag of bolts in a tumble dryer when spinning down. Always a good watch!
When I was a kid of 10 or so my Dad told me "Jim you would tear up an Anvil with a Corn Cob" But then again I never did.
Ah yes, that wonderful Ball of Yellow Hair Levistill moving around fairly well. And the snow rubs feel great to him. Give him a belly rub for my wife and me. Stay safe my friend.
I appreciate that you don’t modify the exhaust on your vehicles to be loud.
Levi is one of my favorite characters in this show.
As an example to us all, it is encouraging that Andrew never curses! Just grunts occasionally. Be like Andrew.
If something happens where a lot of us would be cursing:
"Who, that was unexpected. They should have made this stronger"
Got a lot done to in this video. Thanks! Great that you picked Levi up and took him along. I’m sure he misses going along everywhere with you the way he used to be able to do. This getting old crap is terrible.
Every time I see your castle I smile. The shot of you driving up with the fog was cool.
Poor Levi sad to see him get older but he’s loved for sure
Never seen someone that just intentionally tries to tear up everything they touch. That is until this youtube channel.
LOL take a look at Whistlindiesel on UA-cam.
@@Bierkameel thought of him too lol
guess youve never watched biasply and zipties videos. that UTV is meant to be used on farm, work sites. Andrew might be a pushing limits of what was intended for but he certainly isnt out to straight destroy his stuff
My first thoughts 💭- “oh hell no this poor little thing not going to like this” as the vision of the radio fittings and starter motor removal flashed through my mind 💥
I like to call Andrew...the Resoration Man...you got a dead machine? Give it to The Restoration Man...he will restore it to life....sometimes better than before..the real tool man. Also, amazing patience with that new muffler install...and in general.
I was happy to see Levi make a cameo appearance. His hip seems to be his only obvious ailment. Pretty good for an old timer!
Glad to see Levi getting a ride.
Oh Levi gettin old such a good boy
@Bad Santa Yes, that is true. I lost my yellow lab to cancer in April 2020. Levi reminds me of my dog, Colby.
Levi was coming up to find you, what a sweet boy. There was no chance that he was going to let Cody sign that job off.
Andrew, your property and home is looking very good. Your vid's are just fantastic. Great job. You never amaze me on how easy you make all the jobs look and go.. Thanks Andrew.
Andrew, I was watching one of many videos and saw where you started a bulldozer front loader. Smoke went everywhere. This is just a thought I was saying to myself, I wouldn't want that going thru my house. Your garage or work shop has the upper floor wide open. I know you access that floor to move things around. So building a wall would not work. So I thought what if you had a removable vinyl curtain across that opening so heat from your home wouldn't leak out. And you would still be able to look down at your shop and let light in hthat upper floor. That wouldn't cost a hole hell of a lot. It would keep your heat in your house. Which in winter can get pretty cold. Well so much for my thoughts! Keep the videos coming. Thanks Gary
Levi just wants some warm sunshine and a cool swimming hole.
Classic Andrew-broke-it-fixed-it video. This why we're here.
Levi back on the scene 😃
Always fun to watch you fix/repair/maintain your stuff. A little tip, a little spray adhesive on the gasket holds it in perfect position.
Upgraded my 03 676 Kawasaki prairie primary clutch, springs and weights to a complete Cvtech unit. Best upgrade to date. Get correct clutch to driving style and tire size. Thanks Cvtech.
