that battery mount is SO unprofessional! You should have used yellow straps to match the dozer. (also maybe some rust converter to slow down the tray but, mostly yellow straps lol)
This is the roots to his channel. Repairing , fixing equipment and his building. This to me is what we have been missing lately. Keep it going and the content up
The exact same thing I was thinking! I missed it a lot! And I think we need more longer videos again. Pleas keep making these videos like that Andrew 👍🏼
14:12 " That's slightly unprofessional but not unacceptable " Perfectly sums up about 65% of the repairs I've done in the bush . Gotta use that line now .
Hey, Andrew. I know you always want things done correctly. The voltage at the alternator should be at or a couple tenths + or - of 14 volts. Your voltage to the battery with the engine running should be within .5 volts of the alternator reading. If not, you have connection/wire problems. No way that amount of voltage drop is normal or acceptable. Dirty/corroded electrical connections, especially at the ground points will cause endless headaches. I recommend ScannerDanner's channel. He has good videos on dropped voltages due to corroded connections.
I replace lots of charge wires for this exact reason. Sometimes they get water runs down inside the insulation and rots a small spot deep inside the wire you can't see. Easiest way to check is to throw one jumper cable from the alternator to the battery and recheck your voltage. If it comes up to the alternator voltage you know that wire is bad. If you get good with the electrical tools it gets easier. With the engine running measure voltage between the alternator positive stud and the battery positive stud. You will measure the amount of voltage drop aka current loss in that wire. Shouldn't be more than .4v absolute maximum with all the lights and accessories on.
@@kinecty111 Yeah it was surprising the first time I saw it in one of my cars because I didn't think of a wire going "bad" but they do and its not apparent just be looking at them.
Andrew, I have watched a lot of your videos and man, there is nothing you can't repair or replace in your stock pile of equipment. You have the principle of the Marine Corp, adapt and overcome and you do that well.
So, this weekend I rented a very small 2000lb excavator to dig some trenches for drain pipes. Operating these machines is way more difficult than it looks. Andrew makes it look easy and I got to say I have even more respect for him now. Just being able to load and unload these things is an achievement. This guy deserves every ounce of success he has coming. Btw, I got my drain pipes buried and it seems to work perfectly when it rains. Love this channel so much.
For the gas drip out the overflow line, check that the tiny spring loaded plunger that is on one end of the needle valve. Make sure that it's still there and that it works properly ----- The float shuts off the flow from the tank when the float rises with the bowl level and moves the rubber end of the needle into it's seat...if the the tiny spring doesn't return the plunger to full extension or if it's missing, bent or is stuck while depressed in the needle it will allow the bowl level to rise too far, thus the excess gas flows out the overflow line.
Those magnetic parts trays are one of the best tools I have bought in a long time. You can stick them on a vertical surface and the parts stay inside (the metal parts that is). I found a set of 3"x3", 6"x6" and 3"x9" for $10 at Harbor Freight. I bought four sets. I have them everywhere.
For the electrical contacts, especially in that under-dash area, it would be advisable to use dielectric grease to prevent future corrosion. But I have to say, you do great work...
It would be awesome to have another video maybe you and the dogs or jet skiing or anything. You spoiled us with several videos a week. Not blaming you. You’re just very interesting and it takes our minds off of this crazy world we’re living in.
Hello! 🙂 The carburetor float valves sometimes have a little rubber tip on them and that ethanol fuel can degrade it and make it useless. It is best to replace it and the seat that goes with it. Use non ethanol gas after that.
I don't know if you've noticed, but in the past when you would speed up your film and take your piece of equipment back and forth and back and forth over and over and over you can actually see the road surface start to sink in slowly and how you are sculpting the land with a 10 ton machine. I wish someone would splice together a bunch of your examples of that....I don't know how to. Great video as usual and greetings from Texas...John B
From a guy that has an office job and hasn’t spent even 30 seconds inside any heavy machinery / thank you for these videos I’m sure curious and love watching the work 💪
When I have a nasty job to do under a vehicle, I always clean it first to keep the dirt from falling in my eyes. However, I only have 1% of Mr. Camarata's talent!
You have rock easily broken up, beautiful streams of water to harness water, electricity, pond for fish to harvest, for watering a garden and a greenhouse and a swim in hole. Trees the perfect size and lots of different hardwoods to mill, for log houses, lumber, firewood, posts, fuel for syngas. It all can be consumed. I wish I owned a square mile with a mountain in the middle, the Hudson bordering. Valleys for grass for cows, horses , pigs. Enough timber to sell, harvest for cabins buildings, for fuel. A big ole stream of water year round flowing down with waterfalls. Wow hillbilly heaven I’d say and near Woodstock .
I’m glad to see you have an awesome helper to keep you in line on your projects. She sure doesn’t back down from any job. The world would be a much better place filled with more Andrews and his helper.
Settling down for the evening and I see at the top of this video it’s labeled as #15 on trending. I couldn’t be happier for you and your success Andrew! I’ve been here for a long time and your videos have stayed true to your original style. Love to see it!

@@edinstruction2011 Clearly you jump on any trend that you feel provides you with attention. Electric isn't there yet bud. No matter how bad the posers want it to be. The future might be a different story but not today.
Great video, Andrew! Gentlemen workers before me advised the best time to lube any machine was just after you finished your work. The joints are warm and take grease much easier. That also means the next time you use it, you already know the machine is greased and it's one less thing on your prep list. The young lady certainly knows how to operate that tracked dump unit. Always glad to see another video from you!
It's funny, when watching the 'I bought a mountain' video, it crossed my mind how many trees you were cutting down. This comes from a New Englander who has no really problem in doing so, but there was something in me that, for some reason, had a reaction to it. That opening drone shot just shows how it's only a drop in a bucket. Reminds me when my grandpa told me that in the 1700s it was 90% farm land and 10% trees but now it's flipped. Truly awe inspiring seeing the vast sea of green your surrounded by, and that you could double the trees you've cut and it'd still be twice nothing haha.
Good to know how to repair small to big engines Andrew saves slot of money in the long run. You have a wide variety of vehicles to maintain in your fleet. Some older ones. Keep up with your great videos Andrew, love to see Cody and Blue with you all the time. Miss the chance on getting a Levi Memorial. If you still have any left I'll be able to buy one..
I see you fighting with machine batteries often. Had an old stubborn 85 JD 210 4wd. Best advice I got from an old farmer friend is to hook the battery tender to tractor and zip tie it there on machine. I’m up north east and having a quick plug makes life so much easier. The tender keeps topped off and it never struggled again even in a blizzard. Love content!! Thanks for all you have taught me :-)
I've taken apart Mikuni carbs dozens of times for this very same issue. Many times the needle seat is bad or the float starts to swell over time and there so little clearance between the float and the bowl housing that it just catches and doesn't allow the seat to fully nest and shut off the fuel.
The crowd cheers!!! Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew....it was so loud I could not sleep! I tried to calm them and tell them I would cast live..... they cheered again even louder!!!! Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep....
You remind me of my dad who could fix anything and everything, only you're half my age. I love seeing the dogs in the videos. It wouldn't be the same without them. Thanks for sharing.
Done that a few times in my life, I have common sense on working on anything with atc and ATV and lawn mowers, plus I am pretty good at wood work/ carpentry, so many different jobs I have had in my life, as I will be 63 yrs old this month November 16th.
Hi Andrew my wife and I really enjoy your videos. The Honda i have one similar to yours and it was dumping gas. cleaned the carb and still leaked replaced needle still dripped. Went to Honda they told me to get some scotch brite and a pencil shine up the seat and no more leak. Glad to see you using anti seize on the threads of bolts and blaster to loosen. I buy WD 40 and Blaster by the gallon with the spray bottle. You work hard be careful with your body jumping of the equipment it will catch up with you I know. If i knew i was going to last this long i would have been a little easier on my body, arms back knees ect. Beautiful country in your videos!!!
You camera work and production value is amazing and well done. It's your second calling, Andrew. I enjoy all of your videos even though I only know where to put gas into my car and windshield fluid and not really an interest in knowing more. But you make mechanic work look fun because you passion shines through! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for another great video Andrew ! I just have to point something out to the ppl that have already watched this video....hitting the LIKE button only takes a second or two of your time and not only does it help Andrew put out more content but IMHO it also is a way of saying thank you to Andrew for filming, editing and posting these videos for all of us to enjoy. I don't know about everyone else but these videos are a huge source of entertainment for me and I thoroughly enjoy them. So thanks Andrew and come on peeps....Give this guy a like if you can. At this point there are over 4500 views and only about 750 likes. Say thanks to this good man. Peace to Everyone and Cheers Andrew.
1. A voltage drop of 1V is not acceptable. 2. Replace all the wires from the alternator to the battery, plus and minus - grounding. red and blue. 3. let them be one size thicker than now. 4. You need better quality soldered terminals 5. The maximum allowable voltage drop for each wire is about 0.1 V or a total of 0.4 V Every video of yours is enjoyable to watch!
That view of your mountain retreat and the hills around it never gets old Andrew your a hard working and lucky lad. I see that you’ve been acquiring some new to you equipment, the tracked loader and the JD forwarder hopefully more videos to come 🤞🏻👍🏻🏴
Hey Andrew I have a few vehicles that sit around away from available power and have found that solar panels & charge controllers work great to keep the batteries fresh for cheap. I couldn't imagine dealing with your many dozens of batteries.
Some necessary repairs were completed. Dang that battery got hammered. You might be able to save it by plastic welding that hole and re filling it with new acid. Nothing to lose if you want to give it a shot. Thanks Stew.
Some voltage drop is to be expected if there's a large current draw. You could reduce the drop by using thicker wires, but it shouldn't be too problematic.
Ideally the alternator output wire should go directly to the battery. You get quite a bit of voltage drop through that long wire that goes up to the ammeter then back down to the battery. I'd guess that it originally had a dynamo. It will still charge, just more slowly than if the wire went directly to the battery.
Tracing a wire to a bad connection is such a fulfilling feeling. Also ratchett straps for batteries are such a simple solution to the metal clamps that often decay into oblivion.
Andrew. You could make rock chairs out of all those beautiful flat rocks you have out there. Dont have to buy chairs and they are weather proof too! Love your channel buddy
My grandpa had aurthritis but when it came to four wheelers that didnt stop him, when he became to authritic to shift, he had a bar attached to shifter that came up beside gas tank and shifted by hand
I saw 32:05 minutes on the time stamp when I started to watch the video, thinking that's a long video. When 32:05 rolled around, it was like. Wait, what, that can be the end of the video, it went so fast. Thanks Andrew love your videos!
Your secondary plot is so beautiful Andrew, not as beautiful as your castle home but lovely none the less. It's lovely to see all the greenery great drone skills you have there and cute dogs 🐕 . Love watching your videos.
#14 on trending as of this morning. You dropped this yesterday but I didn’t have time to watch. I will now. Congrats. #14 on all of you tube. That’s something to be proud of.
Andrew thanks very much for the video. The drone footage was amazing. I'm "jelous" about that amazing piece of land. Amazing small mountain you have over there
I had the same exact problem with my trx350, I replaced the float and cleaned the carburetor, then the problem mostly disappeared. Also had the shift pedal became loose, they all have the same problems but in my opinion are the most reliable ATV's
Awesome video Andrew. What an amazing young lady to have around. Another pair of hands and another host of mechanical skills to help get jobs done. Keep up the great work. Hope you don't have any long lasting issues with your knee mate
Nice repairs/maintenance, I still wouldn't expect that much voltage loss though, might need a heavier cable between the alternator and the cb. Brown pup looking great, growing well.
I just did this on my old Honda rancher. $30 Amazon carb and new petcock are essential. My gas tank needed a rinse too. Runs like a champ now with no choke needed.
Not only has your apprentice got some great engine skills, im assuming he shot most of this episode too, he has great cinematography instincts... you must be a hell of a mentor
Hi Andrew, I follow you from Italy ... I have seen all your videos, e on what you do, you can see that there is passion ... Beautiful dogs and all that you have built and congratulations also for the estate and the fleet. Keep it up you are a great ... Greetings from the Italian 👍
There's this guy in Pennsylvania has a channel called one eye customs he built an attachment for a mini excavator, it looks like a snow plow blade with a big rubber squeegee on the bottom edge and he rakes his woods with it. If you haven't seen it you should check it out....seems right up your alley with all the properties you maintain and your interest in trying new attachments. I been watching your videos so long i feel like you're my buddy. But you dont know me from Adam lol although youve given me good advice a couple times. Anyways I appreciate you Andrew. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience and thank you for inspiring all the young people who are lacking inspiration in their lives. Keep living the dream
Thanks Andrew, looks like your leg's still giving a bit of trouble, great to see Blue getting bigger and more willing to give Cody a little bit of peace.
Dear Mr. Camarata. 👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). You're definitely good with the drone. 2) Maybe putting some grease nipples on the pedal bases to lube the axle would help to handle the dozer. Unfortunately penetration oil doesn't last long as a lubricant. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you (including the wonderful dogs of course).
Such drone footage and editing! I bet most people don't realize you do it all. Now it's time to build a proper house on top of that mountain! You know waterproofed, insulated properly, air conditioned heated and fireproof.
Yup, his beautiful camera work in this episode harkens back to his classic style that hooked me on his channel originally a couple years ago....beautiful!

@@kinecty111 Great point on the corrosion internal to the insulation. Corrosion = resistance. Resistance where it's not supposed to be = bad.
any easy cheap fix is just grab a new wire from the auto wrecker and double it up by having the old wire and new wire both installed
Run new wire temporarily (alternator to battery) and if it gets more voltage then disconnect the old and replace it with new!
@@kinecty111 Yeah it was surprising the first time I saw it in one of my cars because I didn't think of a wire going "bad" but they do and its not apparent just be looking at them.
When Andrew says something needs to be “Fixed immediately”, you definitely know something has to be fixed 🤣
Immediately

@@OhioCarl me too that’s the first thing I thought of.
There's a tang on the float that contacts the needle... it sets the float level. You bend that to set the float... I'd bend it a little and try it!

The carburetor float valves sometimes have a little rubber tip on them and that ethanol fuel can degrade it and make it useless. It is best to replace it and the seat that goes with it. Use non ethanol gas after that.
Ethanol is horrendous…pure politics and bad for the USA.
Yep thats absolutly the answher.
Use either Stabil Ethanol additive or REC90 fuel. It's more money upfront but less repairs and money overall.
use NBR parts and no more ethanol woes regarding rubber

I enjoy all of your videos even though I only know where to put gas into my car and windshield fluid and not really an interest in knowing more. But you make mechanic work look fun because you passion shines through! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks A for being an active fun hit me up to

Fixing your equipment is a satisfying feeling that makes life much better.

At this point there are over 4500 views and only about 750 likes. Say thanks to this good man. Peace to Everyone and Cheers Andrew.
1. A voltage drop of 1V is not acceptable.
2. Replace all the wires from the alternator to the battery, plus and minus - grounding. red and blue.
3. let them be one size thicker than now.
4. You need better quality soldered terminals
5. The maximum allowable voltage drop for each wire is about 0.1 V or a total of 0.4 V
Every video of yours is enjoyable to watch!
That view of your mountain retreat and the hills around it never gets old Andrew your a hard working and lucky lad. I see that you’ve been acquiring some new to you equipment, the tracked loader and the JD forwarder hopefully more videos to come 🤞🏻👍🏻🏴
Opening drone shot and pan were worth the price of admission alone. Thumbs up!
Hey Andrew I have a few vehicles that sit around away from available power and have found that solar panels & charge controllers work great to keep the batteries fresh for cheap. I couldn't imagine dealing with your many dozens of batteries.
Levi would of loved that spot up there!! Miss that dog!!
Hard to beat watching Andrew on a dozer. Great video!
How cute! Blue has learned from Cody how to run alongside you as you drive whatever machine you’re driving. He’s growing up fast!
Great vid brother… looks like your radiator was smoking a lil at the end there would have been cool to see a repair on it to 😊 keep up the good work!
Some necessary repairs were completed. Dang that battery got hammered. You might be able to save it by plastic welding that hole and re filling it with new acid. Nothing to lose if you want to give it a shot. Thanks Stew.
Some voltage drop is to be expected if there's a large current draw. You could reduce the drop by using thicker wires, but it shouldn't be too problematic.
Thanks. Even though I will never fix an alternator, its good to know!
Ideally the alternator output wire should go directly to the battery. You get quite a bit of voltage drop through that long wire that goes up to the ammeter then back down to the battery. I'd guess that it originally had a dynamo. It will still charge, just more slowly than if the wire went directly to the battery.
@@LesNewell Cat runs power through the amp gauge and too battery? Think ? Alt gauge then bat and changes wire size ? Been awhile since?
Tracing a wire to a bad connection is such a fulfilling feeling.
Also ratchett straps for batteries are such a simple solution to the metal clamps that often decay into oblivion.
Congratulations

Another great video. The intro with the drone coming in and zeroing in on the pups is fantastic. Always enjoy watching you repair equipment.
your repairs pay for themselves and then some thanks to your superb documentation. what a time to be alive right?
A great mix of scenery to start- looking forward to the show! 😀
Andrew. You could make rock chairs out of all those beautiful flat rocks you have out there. Dont have to buy chairs and they are weather proof too! Love your channel buddy
I have probably watched every single one of your videos 5 times. That is how much I love watching your videos. Keep it up
Compliments to the girl getting her hands dirty like that. True team, you two!
My grandpa had aurthritis but when it came to four wheelers that didnt stop him, when he became to authritic to shift, he had a bar attached to shifter that came up beside gas tank and shifted by hand
Nice toy's Andrew. Awesome to have help. Beautiful homestead.
I saw 32:05 minutes on the time stamp when I started to watch the video, thinking that's a long video. When 32:05 rolled around, it was like. Wait, what, that can be the end of the video, it went so fast. Thanks Andrew love your videos!
Thanks
Your secondary plot is so beautiful Andrew, not as beautiful as your castle home but lovely none the less. It's lovely to see all the greenery great drone skills you have there and cute dogs 🐕 . Love watching your videos.
Repair videos are some of my favorites from Andrew
#14 on trending as of this morning. You dropped this yesterday but I didn’t have time to watch. I will now. Congrats. #14 on all of you tube. That’s something to be proud of.
"! Hell yeah brother!!

Andrew thanks very much for the video. The drone footage was amazing. I'm "jelous" about that amazing piece of land. Amazing small mountain you have over there
I had the same exact problem with my trx350, I replaced the float and cleaned the carburetor, then the problem mostly disappeared. Also had the shift pedal became loose, they all have the same problems but in my opinion are the most reliable ATV's
Love the small engine repairs
Awesome video Andrew. What an amazing young lady to have around. Another pair of hands and another host of mechanical skills to help get jobs done. Keep up the great work. Hope you don't have any long lasting issues with your knee mate
AC, Dozer, and ATV's.... Lots of good AC content lately 😁👍
Great job 👏 make sure your up to date on your shots working around all that rust. Good luck 👍
Nice repairs/maintenance, I still wouldn't expect that much voltage loss though, might need a heavier cable between the alternator and the cb. Brown pup looking great, growing well.
I just did this on my old Honda rancher. $30 Amazon carb and new petcock are essential. My gas tank needed a rinse too. Runs like a champ now with no choke needed.
Nice to have a helpful girl who is not afraid of a little dirt on her hands
Come on Andrew - it's been three weeks - keep your momentum going.
Well, at least we have Post 10. :)
Not only has your apprentice got some great engine skills, im assuming he shot most of this episode too, he has great cinematography instincts... you must be a hell of a mentor
That is his sister, I believe.
Look more closely, There are exactly two genders on this planet and you got it wrong. Andrew's mechanically inclined GF.

merci beaucoup andrew pour toute les video que vous mette en ligne vous est le meilleurs josé
Hi Andrew, I follow you from Italy ... I have seen all your videos, e on what you do, you can see that there is passion ... Beautiful dogs and all that you have built and congratulations also for the estate and the fleet. Keep it up you are a great ... Greetings from the Italian 👍
There's this guy in Pennsylvania has a channel called one eye customs he built an attachment for a mini excavator, it looks like a snow plow blade with a big rubber squeegee on the bottom edge and he rakes his woods with it. If you haven't seen it you should check it out....seems right up your alley with all the properties you maintain and your interest in trying new attachments.
I been watching your videos so long i feel like you're my buddy. But you dont know me from Adam lol although youve given me good advice a couple times. Anyways I appreciate you Andrew. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience and thank you for inspiring all the young people who are lacking inspiration in their lives. Keep living the dream
Beautiful country love everything that you do and maintenance is very important. Glad to see you're not by yourself, Love seeing the dogs also
Thanks Andrew, looks like your leg's still giving a bit of trouble, great to see Blue getting bigger and more willing to give Cody a little bit of peace.
Dear Mr. Camarata.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). You're definitely good with the drone. 2) Maybe putting some grease nipples on the pedal bases to lube the axle would help to handle the dozer. Unfortunately penetration oil doesn't last long as a lubricant.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you (including the wonderful dogs of course).
A video once a month is Falling from grace
I’m a bit disappointed Andrew didn’t Pressurewash the 4Wheeler before working on it. He’s gonna need a well up there!
Thanks for watching
You're luckily selected

Such drone footage and editing! I bet most people don't realize you do it all.
Now it's time to build a proper house on top of that mountain! You know waterproofed, insulated properly, air conditioned heated and fireproof.
Yup, his beautiful camera work in this episode harkens back to his classic style that hooked me on his channel originally a couple years ago....beautiful!
