Just wiggle it a lil more no need for pliers or anything to separate winch extension just a lil more wiggle will git er dun and that's definitely what she said 🤣
They literally explained because its not wrecker games anymore lol@@JG-123
I don't think I want to buy it, because the way that you guys describe the food it's like you're reading from a piece of paper, you're not seeing what you really feel about the food, it's like I'm being paid to say this because they are a sponsor and we do not want to lose them, the food is delicious, don't worry I'll 🤮 it up later
Michelle is taking off some weight. Dag she's doing great!
Totally unhealthy. More sodium than is good for your blood pressure and tons of fat. But I get why you get them to sponsor.
The look of pride on Paul's face when he drove up and saw his kids unloading yet another project, priceless!
I’ve noticed Hunter does a fine job at engaging with the customers and getting their story. Good job, man!
And missed the reason the customer did not want to take the dozer on the frozen road.
@@iffykidmn8170 No he didnt. The guy said it was because he didn't have anyone to drive the backhoe while he was on the dozer, because his wife doesn't know how to drive the backhoe. and also mentioned that he's skated the dozer all the way down the hill when the pavement was covered in ice and slick like that. You just weren't paying attention I guess.
Hunter has an awesome job. I bet Paul is a cool boss
@@Andrew-py8wd I heard that as well
That is hands down the nicest scrap yard / junk yard owner i've ever seen in my life. They don't exist at any of the places i've been to in central Alabama.
Hey professional arborist here. Thanks for using a bark saver and not causing unnecessary damage to the trees!
So true, it only takes a minute to dig it out but could save the tree from dying. Depending on the pull, type of tree, type of rope, cable or what ever it can cut right into the wood allowing insects to get in, cut off important protection for the tree and other damage. And from the videos trees are not as common there as other places so once a tree dies it could be a long time before another one is big enough to anchor to.
I laughed so hard when I seen this, people never stop to think about the impact all the recovery gear can have. I grew up in the logging industry in Central interior of B.C. seen those tree saver straps used and seen chains used.... damn they chew up trees fast..
@@TheNut302 its true, hook up wrong and that tree might not be there fpr future generations. In BC like here on the east coast trees are all over the place but there they seem few and far between. Now here in PEI we don't have rocks. Not a rock in sight. Little stones and along the beach you find boulders from all over the world that sailing ships use to use for ballast to get here then they loaded up with lumber and left the rocks right where they unloaded them. Other thab that all we have is a bit of sand stone which can be soft an flaky. When we get on the main land we go nuts looking at the stone cutouts along highways. Its a serious thing my friend. Lol have a good week everyone.
Trees make great firewood !
I use old cinches as tree savers for the highline I tie my horses to.
When I was a kid my neighbor had a Gravely with a 24" mowing deck and a sulky, which mad it a riding mower. He could practically bush hog with it. He also had a roto-tiller for it. Back then the Gravely was pretty much the Swiss Army knife of small farm equipment.
I still have one. The second one I’ve owned. Still going strong! First one I owned was made by Studebaker when they owned Gravely. Rope start, would about take your arm off on occassion!
Reminds me of a Belos tractor from Sweden, interesting machines.
I have an old David Bradley. Pretty much the same thing.
Gravely was first made in Dunbar,Wv.I have several of the walk behinds and 4 of the riding mowers.Very heavy duty built machines.
The talented guys running that picker. They will pluck aluminum, steel, and plastics.
"That's slick!" Probably the best description of the tow truck ever! Fantastic!
My father ran those 7 1/5 hp gravely as his goto yard business for 30+ years. Other than a blown headgasket that takes a half hour to change. Bullet proof machine.
Its really cool that you can impress an old timer. You know he has seen a lot . But i don't think he has ever seen a truck like your's. Keep up the great work . And you got to play with the claw .
Gravely is like the Swiss army knife for farmers on the East Coast , very handy tool
I love that I'm not the only one that refuses to go anywhere without tools. Granted i normally take more than the fabrats tool pouch. Gotta be prepared for anything 🤷🏻
Gravely tractors were built in Dunbar,wv and then manufacturing moved to Wisconsin. In these parts there are gravely’s on nearly every farm. In good shape they still bring good money and are nearly indestructible. Gravely is still a brand, but mostly only zero turn commercial units. They also made an extremely heavy duty rear engine riding mower that to this day will still bring 2k plus$. Hugely popular with the old timers that had the funds to buy them back in the day.
When I was a kid we had a gravely tractor with a tiller and a mower
Paul needs to take the football challenge with that excavator - pick up and move a football from one stand to another without damaging or dropping the ball.
I was always told its pronounced “Grave-ly” tractor. My old man still has one up here in Maine.
They still make stuff like that gravely. It’s called bcs now. They’re old school with new technology. Everybody knows old school wins every time
My dad had a Gravely. Had a snowplow attachment I used to plow the driveway and sidewalks with when I was a kid. Thing was tough!
That was great at the breakers, Jed is a right good character
Paul when adding extension strap In the loop you put a small branch , bit of wood across ways so the loop does not crush down. then when you finish it fall apart, no need for pliers that an damage rope...been doing it since 1985 because it works
That E46 case loader at the scrap yard I used to service!! I was the fuel/lube truck driver for little over three years for Dirtworks! How funny 😆
It's a fine machine!
Love to hear the tow truck whistle, she’s badass now Paul !
Easy pullout and start the tractor and move it! Fun at the junk yard and what have the boys got now!
Yah, That Gravely power unit was the stuff back ages ago.
Great recoveries.
That Gravely has a "high wheel kit" on it. One of the most valuable and collectable accessories for a Gravely walk behind.
That junk yard man is a kool kat.
I had an electric fan on my LS. I had to go back to clutch fan because the noise was too much.
Gravely (Grave-Lee) is a branch of Ariens. The Canadian company that builds snowblowers and lawnmowers.
Ariens is a Wisconsin company In Brillion Wis,
I still use all of our gr"A"velys! They are absolute beasts!
I've got the '56 Gravely that tortured me as a kid in the front yard now. Still runs and works.
use a plastic tent peg to get ropes apart
Hahaha I was just going through pictures last week and found a picture of my dad and I on a gravely when I was 5 years old cutting the lawn 😂👍🏻
good job everyone!
How does jed not have a youtube channel? He is entertaining and probably has lots of stories and fun stuff going on
You guys need to spend more time at Jed's, it looks like a good time.
We are always a good time😁
Gravley ( pronounce like gravy) was originally built in Dunbar WV. I've got two 1949 L models that still run.
You should carry whats commonly known among sailors as a marlin spike. It is what sailors use to get in and undo knots in rope and can do so without the risk of damaging rope.
My parents owned a small engine sales and service center in Berrien Springs MI. I think they owned every attachment and several Graverly devices. Also many David Bradley’s the precursor to craftsman. My dad use to use them to move cars around. Amazing what a 1hp engine can do with a little leverage. Very cool to see one again.
That is an old Gravely Wheel Horse.
Hunter sure is alot of help as well a running the camera .
I've got one of those green canvas tool rolls. It's not the Fab Rats approved load out, but I might have to change that.
Gravely’s were the Swiss Army knife of yard equipment. When I was a kid one of the older gentlemen around the corner from me had one and I was absolutely obsessed and amazed at them. He had a plow blade to push snow, a rototillar and what I assumed was a cultivator to run through the garden rows to push the soil back up around the plants among other attachments.
The quick little Letterkenny reference from Jed!
Car flinging! A new sport!
Man, Mitchelle is looking good she could sell us anything.
It's "grave-a-lee". If you run one and you're over forty, you'll feel it for several days. I've had 3 machines in the past, I'm 71 now, and I look on them with fear and trepidation. Good for 20-30 year olds, very rugged, and much cheaper than a tractor.
The Rat Rod Wrecker is awesome, the FJ is amazing but I have to say I think my favorite in your fleet is the old wood truck. Keep doing what you do and thanks for sharing it with us.
Is it just me or have all of you lost weight. Looking amazing guys. Have a great week. Be well.
I was thinking the same thing. I've also noticed that sense they have been sponsored by factor that typically you will see Paul with a piece of fruit instead of hitting the gas station roller dog section.
It would be a real hoot to spend a day with you guys...especially when you're out doing a rescue.
It would be great to see you build a mini rock crawler buggy for the kids
where you joined the two straps together just put short piece of broom handle in between the loops and it will just pull out and you can free the straps a lot easier.
Some guys put a rolled up magazine between the 2 ropes, make it easier to undo. I used to operate a Hitachi just like that one, loved it
Gravely was a great piece of equipment used them for roofing back in the 80’s
You should start keeping track of recoveries with tallies on the wreckers interior roof
First recovery was a sweet success, suprised the boys weren't in the shop.
Every time Paul states "it was over at that point," while a customer is explaining what happens, he cracks me up. You can hear the years of his own experiences flashback just from his own "it was over" moments tone 😂.
I agree 100% lol
A song to add to your rotation if he allows. Will Harrison Tractor Trails. Sounds like something you should use.
Love your videos.
Knowing how to recover anything makes it all look easy.
That was a fun video. Thanks.
Never a boring day with Paul he'll find something to do
12 50 am Victoria Australia good morning
Paul and Hunter work well together
Great 👍 Recovery
Have a Great Day 👍
Paul, I'm canadian and I can tell you, you've got skills in snow driving man, love your channel guys, keep the good stuff comin'!! ✌❤
🇨🇦
You need to create a Fabrats 'lounge' and call it the Rat Nest 😁
Trick with the winch extension is to put a rolled up news paper or magazine or piece of dowle in the join. Won't pull tight then.
oh I just mentioned this to paul@fabats we used to use broken broom handle or tree branch
If you put a stick or a screwdriver handle or something in the square knot it will come apart much easier.
What is the first thing I see as they walk into Jeb's office? Next to the counter is a Ford Flathead V-8 and truck tranny!
You've hooked me right there!!!
You need a "Marlinspike" to undo those knots, it wont damage the tow line at all
no timber dowel in there and it wont close up, done it few times over the years
The wrecker has dig. Very cool.
The ole wrecker still has it
Made that look easy! Way to go guys!
You all are a great team!
It's so sad I live in northern Minnesota and you guys have more snow then we do,
Maybe it’s an east coast thing but everybody had a Gravely when I was young. People used them for everything but mostly brush hogging and tilling dirt but there were all kinds of attachments for them. I rarely see anyone using them now but they’re still around and some of the old timers still keep em runnin
Good work and good man fun held by all.
Michelle, still looking gorgeous 🥰
Any day out of the shop is a good day
The tow truck is looking great on it's first recovery after the new power plant.
Love how when Hunter is concentrating hard he pushes his Toung into the side of his cheek kinda like the MJ thing
Gravely's are awesome! (Grave-Lee.) T-head engines with all roler bearings inside. Third member built for a truck. I had several plus just about every attachment when I lived in snow country. My favorite attachments were the Dog Eater and Snow Cannon snowblowers. Even made it to the 'Best of Craigslist with that one - search 'Gravely Dog Eater Snowblower Attachment'.
Thank you for giving us the correct pronunciation!
Can't wait to see Graden start derbying
Think its almost time for the wrecker to go all one color. It needs to look as good as it sounds and now preforms with the new mill in her.
Every mancave needs to have a couch, large workbench covered in various cans and jars of screws and bolts, a tv and a fridge!👍
I just have to give a shout out to Michelle for the awesome editing on that Factor75 advertisement. There was a lot of precise cuts she had to do to make those three yahoo's look good and she did a damn good job at it.
Mr. Hunter looking like a good right arm.
Nice to see the tow truck up and running again and operating. Nice job gentleman.
I love watching the recoveries .
That fan sounds like a harrier jet! At first I was like, overkill? And then I remembered how hot it gets in Southern Utah.. hot sweaty and sandy. That's going to be great to keep the heat down on the rat rod wrecker. And probably keeping the AC running efficiently as well. I do like how you outfit your vehicles with heat and AC when you can. Next thing you know you're going to be painting them and doing body work. Hahaha I'm pushing my luck here.
Must be awesome seeing your youngest always building and doing stuff outside! He looks like how I'd picture Paul looking at that age, ha!
Hunter you’re moving up!! Paul letting you drive the wrecker!! Better feel special! Paul glad you got your truck back!
My grandpa had gravley mower at the fire station it had a large deck and duals he used to go like scat bot i think it was close to 10 acers that he mowed thanks for bringing back the memories and great to see the wrecker out doing it's job . Chris
Couple nice snow recoveries.
I owned one of those old Gravely 2 wheel walking tractors with the Gravely 7.6 HP high compression engine. 30" bush hog mower on front could cut if if you could push it over. Had the rotary plow and a 24" snow thrower that would throw snow 100". Only problem was mine did not have electric start so had to pull the strap and that high compression engine was a bear to start in the winter.
Love seeing you and Hunter on the road recoveries together!
Random idea for your radio cable, wrap a small piece of velcro at the bottom loop and have the hooks on the roof.
i would never talk bad about the people in fabrats,as a subscriber i look at myself as your guest
Hey, we stopped by the shop yesterday. The green power wheels the boys were unloading was in the creek behind the merc shed. Had a nice visit with grandma. Sad we missed you. Hope you had fun with Merlin.
I was blown away by how much air that fan is moving.
well at least those two boys are having good clean fun with that power wheel! Thanks!
Fabrats your going to be getting a Big Box from Show & Go in May.😊
Paul’s a badass! This guy can do everything
The Ol" RRR (Rat Rod Recker) Is working good!!!!
