Marty, thank goodness you put up another video. I was starting to have acute withdrawal symptoms. I have an idea for a video but I will run it by you. As an avid viewer of your work, I would like you to do a “where are they now” video of the machines you have resurrected. You obviously kept the Hitachi excavator and TD9 bulldozer, but tractors, where do I start. There have been 2 barn finds but others like the swamp tractor, the David Brown, the Fiat, the Kubota 4WD, the one you rescued from the bushland. Surely you don’t keep them all on your property, you would drive your wife crazy.
@@MartyT Not sure what happened but I got unsubscribed, last video I was notified of was the "Mini Excavator vs. landslide" 3 months ago. Looks like UA-cam are gaming the system so they don't have to send out those expensive play buttons!
I’m glad to see the neighbors care about the roads too. It’s great seeing you work together to get it done. I enjoy seeing you both working on the road, it’s very interesting.
You blokes are pretty competent operators, I've watched guys in nice new excavators stuff around trying without success to "train" concrete culvert pipes together accurately, it's a hand eye coordination effort and you blokes did it very well with a tired old machine, good one Marty, cheers from "the West Island".
If it was my council it would be 6 guys coming up to look at the hole for 6 hours and then going home without havein done anything. Do that for about a week and then not come back for another 6 months.
I never sell anything mechanical without either fixing it or telling prospective owners what's wrong that l've lived with. I have been bitten by liars,live in a bush community and have picked up a bit of nous...but hate lies. Shit heads get short thrift out here.,particularly as most sellers are pretty fair
That diagnosis is exactly the kind of interesting stuff that I'm always looking forward to. The way you guys go about it is so wild. Simple, quick, and effective. Super cool.
Love the way its neighbors helping neighbors. This is what l grew up with. We'd borrow a dozer,they'd borrow a truck or tractor or would use our sawmill n We'd help build shed's etc. One hand helping the other.
I love seeing the construction on the road. Very well done on setting the culverts. Putting the “new” digger to the test. Trial by fire. This one was different in that the machine fired right up. Unusual. 😁
I'm convinced this part of the world is home to more Renaissance Men than anywhere else. A symbiosis of the land only accommodating such people, and the people working with the land.
An impression I get of Marty, is that he is smart and very efficient with his efforts in a laid back, unrushed way. I had to look up the meaning of Renaissance man, as us bush Kiwis aren't quite so academic.
Nice seeing neighbours working together, looking at those tracks that why you clean then after each job saves a fortune. For its age not a bad digger, nice find. 👍
Looks like a nice machine. Started right up. Seems to run really well. Needs a little love in the undercarriage and some of the pins and hoses. Nice big, flat edge bucket. If its new life doesn't require daily hard usage, it should be fine for quite a while. Pretty neat how it was moved, first by barge, then by truck.
Congratulations Marty on 500K subs. A great 'how to' channel for us armchair mechanics, builders, restorers and general couch potatoes 🤣🤣 Actually I'm off to the loft to look at the insulation that needs relaying. I didn't say I was going to do anything. Just look at it!
from Canada........ congratulations on having 500,000 subscribers, I have watched for a long time as I really enjoy how you do things.............cheers.
In constant envy of people with playgrounds this big, but the cost of maintaining, not so much. That sounds like ten tons of fun about to cost more than the scrap value to get working reliably..Good luck 👍
This machine has spent all its life from new down the sounds. This at one point was Adrian Harvey's then was sold in the early 2000's ( i believe ) to the wells in nopera. It was then was brought with the property that the Mander's have now. It was then sold a couple of years ago to Lyle in Crail bay. I have personally ran this machine ( 4 5 years ago ? ) when the mander's had it and it was a good we digger for its age.
Guy using the rake to clear around a culvert exactly like the one used by Post10. It always makes me smile to see you using Morris oil. From my small home town, all the way to the other side of the world. You should see if they'll sponsor you, might send you a few free drums!
Just for once, I see a Marty T video soon after it's uploaded - it's 01;30 here in Blighty.😁 ETA Why is it so rare to see thumbs on excavators outside of the US? Heck, they're just so flippin' useful.
I thinking of adding one to my Hitachi ex75. It's even gpt the ear welded on the arm for it. I have a set of scrub grabs I made for handling green waste and compost. They do OK moving pine trees, but don't close enough to grip the logs. A thumb and bucket should be perfect for heaver eucalypt trees and logs.
Good day Marty … how come the videos have slowed down … I look forward to the restored vehicles and the manicure mountain terrain that you do. Maybe restore to sell, what ever you decide we are just glad to be able to watch. Thanks
@@MartyT Good day sir , and thank you for replying . I’m very sorry to hear about your predicament and Im quif sure your fans from all over wish a speedy recovery. Rest and a change of routines will help heal. I’ll try and be patient and await your next video.
Congratulations on the new / slightly used excavator. You will have it in good useable shape in no time. Looking forward to your handy tips on repairing and servicing
A lucky fix with the track. Hopefully the things that need to be fixed will not cost as much as the machine did. The hydraulics seem to be good picking up the culverts. Have good days!
Amazing machines would love to have a drive of one . Remember riding in the bucket as a kid , uncle would slew the machine at 360 ,,, dizzy dizzy 🙂. Looking forward to seeing you change the rad and service the machine.
Another great save by Marty and neighbors. I think when I got it home I would steam or hot pressure clean so you could check it out better including the tracks.
Well Marty, I'd call that a success 😊 You actually got some work done before it broke! I'm seldom able to get much done without spending a ton of money. Good Job!
Hey Marty, any update on the sons of Rambro & the rest of his family? You haven't posted on Rambro's channel for a long while. Hope they're still around.
Angry ram channel doesn't make any money for the time I put in so I don't bother uploading there.. Thunder wandered out of the forest for a visit yesterday, he's looking healthy
I would have doubled up the culverts under the road, it will flood again not if but when and will wash out again with the same capacity there glad to see the excavator did a good job!
Geez you boys did a nice job on that culvert. Two blokes with a clapped out of digger achieved in a few days what would take the council six months and $10 million.
Used to have one of these old machines on swamp tracks on a peat bog down south would say it'll always start better than a new machine slow but reliable
thats crazy, i have a kobelco k909 24 ton, and i have not changed the engine oil and dont think the prior owner did ether(probobly 14 years also sitting alot) but the oil look new. and everything just works,
Great job extending the culvert make the road better and more safer, Especially for larger vehicles.When are you going to buy some more equipment your videos are always decent to watch 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Leaking slew ring, tracks buggered, leaking ram seal, movement in the boom pin, slop in the bucket pins, milky oil, needs new hoses. Mmm and your wanting $800. ... Would you take $350 😂😂😂 Good to see the old girl still working 💪
Hey Marty just an idea. You could host a charity event. Not super sure on the details. But if you asked your subs to come out and labor for a project, you'd have all sorts of strong and skilled lads looking to help. Wed get to shake your hand and have a nice day in the sun and meet some nice folks. All the while working for a local school or council to make a path, fix something, Eco work like planting trees or whatever else.
Crawl inside that culvert and concrete those gaps to prevent it undermining it so quickly again - would only be a year or two and it will slip. Those gaps are a problem - dam up the top side.
With a bit of love it should be a great asset for your neighbour bro. Made for great viewing for sure. Beautiful day here in the Waikato with a nice breeze for the washing. Safe travels. Ken.
The audio at the end, you could sell that to Steven Speilberg for his next WW2 movie, that sounds like a broken Panzer limping across the battlefield :)
Nice to see you and the neighbors getting together to fix a common problem for the both of you
way it oughta be

Have a look at a video of his from 8 months ago: "Teaching my son how to start my entire fleet of vintage machines" - I think he's kept them all

Loving these videos.
Ever since the excavator in the woods video. Top tier content.
Thanks Marty.
Hi Marty and friend, great video. Wish I had neighbours like you two here in UK. Many thanks, hope all goes well with repairs.
Amazing how well these old machines last Marty. Thanks for the video.👍👍
You'd have thought Marty had picked the top of the South Island clean but no... ;-)
Amazing to see it getting to work so soon after purchase and getting the job done.
Good neighbours are worth their weight in gold. Looking forward to seeing the "fix up". Bloody useful machine.
At least its not stuck abandoned on the side of a mountain and requiring a rebuild in situ. Thats gotta be a bonus 😁
Exactly, it made it up the hill to mates workshop
It's great how this isn't just a sale video. The excavator is insected, transported, and put to use all in one video!
Morning here in South Africa, super to have you as a neighbor Marty. Keep the videos rolling.

You can find them in a lot of places around the world but you have to look hard.

Almost at 500k bro! Well deserved. Thanks for the great content 🤝
Thanks mate
somehow i'm watching this on friday evening despite spending 50+ hours a week running excavators. cheers mate
A bit of a fixer upper, but I love seeing old equipment put back into use. I'm sure it will be a very handy machine for your neighbor.
Looks like a nice machine. Started right up. Seems to run really well. Needs a little love in the undercarriage and some of the pins and hoses. Nice big, flat edge bucket. If its new life doesn't require daily hard usage, it should be fine for quite a while. Pretty neat how it was moved, first by barge, then by truck.
The Kobelco reminds me of me: Totally clapped out with loose joints everywhere but can still put on a good show!

@@MartyT your welcome I grew up and I'm from nopera so that helps. The track chains have also had a link taken out a few years ago.

It would be great to see a restoration series on this
Thanks for making so many cool videos.

Another great save by Marty and neighbors. I think when I got it home I would steam or hot pressure clean so you could check it out better including the tracks.
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
What a fantastic Country side view
I think the neighbours see all the fun Marty has with his excavator and dozers, so they want in on the action too!! 🤣👍
Marty T, good job helping ur friend buy a old Excavator. looks good, tracks sounds like a door aga, some replace parts and hoses she will be fine..
very nice work with neighbor 👍👍👍
I’m always wondering what you’re getting up to. Great update!
Would love to see a video on what you have done for a living and how you got into fixing your old machines.
"Just clear a slip on the way up the hill". It can take months for the local council to organise something like that on a road.
Very cool. Obviously needs some sorting. 👍
Well Marty, I'd call that a success 😊 You actually got some work done before it broke! I'm seldom able to get much done without spending a ton of money. Good Job!
It’s just men getting on in life….no worries mate..respect from Ireland
It seems that people love this content
Congrats
It's contagious as Marty has now infected his neighbor with buying old heavy equipment that needs work !! 😆
Instant like best vids on youtube learnt so much from watching well done mate .
Enjoyable video as always. Thanks

nice excavator, plenty of life left, very useful for the years to come.
That was good practice for now fixing up all New Zealand roads!! 😂
I would have doubled up the culverts under the road, it will flood again not if but when and will wash out again with the same capacity there glad to see the excavator did a good job!
Marty's HOA Help Out All. The way neighbors in rural areas get along . I'm always there when they need me and they are there for me if I need them. 🍻
Geez you boys did a nice job on that culvert. Two blokes with a clapped out of digger achieved in a few days what would take the council six months and $10 million.

Used to have one of these old machines on swamp tracks on a peat bog down south would say it'll always start better than a new machine slow but reliable
Marty is the right sort of neighbour to have. Wish he lived near me, LoL.
Good machine that needs a little love :-)
Got to be 4 or 5 Video's in this project for sure!
that's a clean excavator. Rams look good, engine sounds strong, barely run in 😊
thats crazy, i have a kobelco k909 24 ton, and i have not changed the engine oil and dont think the prior owner did ether(probobly 14 years also sitting alot) but the oil look new. and everything just works,

Great job extending the culvert make the road better and more safer, Especially for larger vehicles.When are you going to buy some more equipment your videos are always decent to watch 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Gosh, I thought you'd slacken those tracks before climbing up that track, I was just waiting for one to break.
Leaking slew ring, tracks buggered, leaking ram seal, movement in the boom pin, slop in the bucket pins, milky oil, needs new hoses. Mmm and your wanting $800. ... Would you take $350 😂😂😂 Good to see the old girl still working 💪
Great acquisition! I know you will “dig up” a lot of uses for it…haha
Worth spending a few bucks on it especially hoses
Most common thing in these is the right hand track drive to give bother/ get weak. Usually the centre rotation cylinder needs a seal or two.
Almost at 500k I can't wait, you deserve it 🎉🎉🎉
Another great video
Truly a stunning part of the World.
Buy an old bus lol plenty for sale in New Zealand and try and get it running, the bones on some of them are awesome just need a mechanical lookover.
Watching this here in Oklahoma, just before I go to bed. Cracking end to the day.
That makes 2 of us. From Wetumka myself.
