❤❤❤❤❤

I’ll give you a ton of credit. Go lions. Poor driveway with all that weight. Crappy government city. Blah blah blah. Awesome father Son moment. Cut your losses, save your marriage and money. You’ll be in for additional 60k.

From Sauth Africa ,well ddone.I realy enjoy your video

Nice salvaging a vintage dozer it was useful for private property like ranch

I feel sorry for you as I'm not even finished watching the video.. Note to everyone: never buy a bobcat, especially a completely burnt bobcat. Maybe start thinking about setting up a Gofund me account 😂

So these tractors you could get Pie weights. Also don't use calcium in the rear tires. Beat Juice..

yes

That's awesome! It sounds so good. These are the memories you'll have forever.

Trencher needs to trench

But you got a good level out of the deal so yeah, not a bad buy all together, Brandon Bildz just took a tour of a machinery salvage and parts company. You can see the video and name of that company on his channel. They might have a salvage machine for you?

If i make 600 per day and spend 2 days on a project that means im not working. The project better make a good return or worth for me to fix it myself so i can avoid mechanic labor. Time is what im chasing these days. Hopefully you have the time, good luck!

You got burnt they lied

Hello, thank you for the video. Interesting situation and purchase. I guess being trained and having worked as an engineer, one might be familiar with tempering metal and what the heat of a fire does to impact that. Given how toasted most of the items were, I would seriously question the strength viability of the frame and about anything that has paint burned off as evidence that it was in the flames. No need risking you life for the structure to have been affected by the heat and fail during use. It could be tragic. Maybe you are seeing things differently in person than what I saw in the video, but I certainly would have to look Very closely before rebuilding and operating this machine like it was originally designed and assembled. My opinion only, take it as you will.

I used a old C-99 for years. whats the problem?

It didnt look that bad? What are you crying about?

I was heavy equipment mechanic for a long time……. I would dump that thing asap. Dealt with hundreds of action machines over the years including units like that. You’re way better off getting rid of it and trying to find one that needs engine repairs or a pump or drive motor. That thing will never be economical to fix. In my area you can pick up one of those in decent working condition With higher hours 15 to 20 grand

If you could find another one exactly like it as a non burnt machine you could do this but now you have one of those neighbors like I do that will make it their life long ambition to call the city on you every time you turn around for doing anything. There are parts there that will sell and get you some money back. Wishing you the best in finding what you’re looking for for your business but it looks like you need to move into another location without the window watchers and less city codes.

Those tracs look worn out and rotted too ...more $$$....Don't buy rebuilt title cars or fire damaged items😮

Tell that seat polisher to stick that letter as far up her ar*e as it will fit...

Definitely one of the more ambitious YT projects I've seen, god speed

Cool old equipment

I feel bad for you. Think you gambled and lost. I would see how fast you could get your money back and move on. Not sure about bobcats. Try others.

It's like a Secret Garden. ❤

A hook is NOT a snatch block, and 7750 I don't think that's a deal, and certainly not a "smoking" deal on this machine. Just saying.

I have found if its yellow and old its worn out in many ways.

U can do it ..your young ..this is a good experience..take your time u will be ok

$10k in so far dropped off, another $10k in a laundry list of parts needed. for a machine that will be worth double that. could sell and make some good profit. wear a mask BTW.. not good breathing in all that charred dust.

I think you Fd up ..good luck.

выкрутили бы свечи и посмотрели мучаются только

You should join Scrappy Industries, Diesel Creek and Zip Ties and Bias Plies at a Ritchie Brothers Auction sometime.

God bless this poor kid

Is that an oil stain or moisture from the A/C compressor on your driveway?

I like to see you doing old Farmall tractor

KZbin ppl amaze me 😅 why even mess with something like this. It’s a total loss

I’m just whatching this vid and I suggest you to not spend any more money and time on this junk.

you paid way to much for a burned out rig all the Guts of it will need replacing this is going to be a years in the making project ,so what's the actual plan ?

That’s like a 1000$ paper weight

That’s practically a total loss all the important stuff is toast

I think you got burned more than it did 😬

Buy a running machine next time

Oh man! I feel the pain 🙃 hope you're feeling well after this!!👍 As a KZbinr my self I hope that I never will experience that kind of pressure 😬

What u could do is find a donor machine and see if u can salvage what is on that machine i did it with my peterbilt 379 still works and drives the same day it rolled off the assembly line

As someone who recently made a video series on a burnt Bobcat 7753, I truly wish you luck sourcing the countless parts you will need. It took me a year, but mine is now fully functional. The hard work pays off, but man, it is not easy. Mine was definitely worse off, but my parts were way cheaper. I'd probably cut my losses and part it out unless you find a parts machine like I did. But either way thanks for the video.

You need to talk to Honey Hamilton at Hamilton farm down in Florida him and his buddy name is don't be Wally they both work on bobcats and everything else so you need to get ahold of them at Hamilton farm

Keep going, don’t stop, don’t listen to some of these comments, make your own hydraulic lines, rebuild the engine and hydraulic pump, Ritchie Bros you can get a second one for cheap just wait it out. It’s the experience, don’t give up, keep going

When you get done you will know every part of it top to bottom and you will have no problem with nothing on it.

Should have got that for scrap metal price

find a drowned machine for parts

Part it out hopefully you can make a little money on it and put that into a better machine. Never buy sight unseen from an auction, yeah you can get lucky but most of the time it will bite you in the ass, auctions are the place they send all the junk thats worn out or useless that nobody wants and if it isnt junk at an auction it always costs the same money as just buying esewhere unless you get exceptionally lucky. The days of a deal at auction are long gone with the advent of Internet bidding.

Keep trying to justify it. And accept that you screwed up BIG TIME.
