it's been 11 months and you still haven't finished the Steury? what's going on? Did you Quit?

I would have pulled that air filter out until I could get to a parts store. Would not hurt it one bit.

What happened to your Freightliner, do you still have it? The cab over?

I don’t think that’s the way to put the slide outs in I’m pretty sure there’s a button

I had that machine running in December, I got another excavator out of there running as well. That’s my can of ether laying under it 😂

5 bucks a gallon is cheaper than replacing the gears or even finding them

High and low oil level plugs

This truck was rather parked in an insulated garage. Besides, how did the cabin rise after 25 years?

Great Video!! New Sub here!!

Great idea. Bucket trucks are always in better shape than dump trucks, and almost never had plow blades.

Great to see ya again.

Cool ✅️

Ohh man I just bought my cabover 88 and o was learning from you thank you .

Not very smart...jack stands on the springs & not the frame? You gotta be kidding me. And doing the work on an aluminum floor flatbed trailer that has the potential to move. You're looking for disaster if that thing falls or moves. Other than this, great stuff. Just do it safely, ese.

Because of these videos I have to subscribe to you

3:15 Holy Crap he did it all 🤯🤯

Yeah! This is just what I needed to know! Thanks a billion - teen- hundred!!!

What's the weight of the trailer n track how combined?

Were you ever able to identify the exact year and month of manufacture on this old greenie? I'm tracking body style changes over time. The turn sigs dropped from the side mirrors to the quarter panels some time after 5/87.

Other than a complete fluid maintenance and a couple part replacements yeah you got your mother’s worth got a good truck Cummins, which is a good engine big cam, especially but yeah you got yourself. Your money is worth.

That 3m 5200 can be frozen and reused. I froze mine for over a year, popped it back in the caulk gun, and it worked great

Can we talk about the bus!!!! I’ve loved this restoration you been doing. Thank you so much for all the recording and headaches. God bless you and yours my friend

Lol

Do you need a cdl for that truck I'm looking at getting a truck like that

just a thought as i just started watching... maybe try and eat before you start videoing or if you're behind the camera maybe try to not say anything around a mouth full of crap just sounds amateurish

Nothing better for an engine than a bunch of rat nest crap in the air cleaner to be sucked into the engine. Guess you should have checked that and all the fluids before attempting to start the engine.

USE A HAT CLIP FOR PHONE OR TRIPOD. ❤BE EASIER TO USE BOTH HANDS

Jolly green looks great . Its a beast he's like a transformer.

Hey Mike! Great buy. You will have use for that no doubt. Long interesting video. You told me to say when... Now ive got my channel more active! Finally I got the balls to post some videos of my stuff. Inspired from you and others. Take a look if you want. /Oskar

what gear you running in the rearend?

❤. Ya video. Mate.🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The triple 7 is a by pass filter. Every 20mins oil is filterd through as a secondary measure for oil filtration. In my opinion the greatest engine Ever. The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

its a jar head for a cable tool water well drilling rig.

Definitely put tubes in ALL the tires. It’s my opinion that any not used on the highway benefits from having tubes. I would be shocked if they don’t have tubes in them already. Should have came that way from the factory.

You got a good deal well a great deal if it was me I would never sell it you get better at running the backhoe you can make really good money with it. Drill jar for cable

If it's going to stay outside I would put a 5gl or a smaller bucket over the exhaust pipe so you don't get water into the engine it looks like a nice old Ford backhoe it looks like you have lots of hydraulic lines that needs to be replaced when you are pulling stumps out you might want to fill your front bucket with dirt or stone so you have extra weight on the front to keep the front wheels on the ground lol or just skup up the stumps with the front bucket

Great to your grandfather out and working a machine at 96, wow!

Isn't that a rock splitter attachment ?

Northern Rednecks are the best

Some paint (either the yellow it is, or the Ford blue that there is on it), a new seat cushion, then good to go for another couple decades..Lol! You nailed a deal for sure.

My dad had one just like that. He broke the swing chain on the backhoe because he was pushing a stump sideways. Other than that it was a good machine.

Was really surprised to see a new segment out. As you can see we haven't given up on ya. Put some paint on the old tractor, make it look newer..............................

great job you did there. If I were you, I would install an additional weight at the front. It's definitely nicer to drive if you want to transport something in the back. Greetings from Germany Rainer

Hahaha

Drill jar for cable tool rig got a few of those

MACHINE WAS A STEAL FOR THAT PRICE !! HAVE A GREAT DAY MIKE!!

Good to see you back 👍

Hey Cletus get the gun and call the cops somebody's trying to steal our backhoe loader for $600 L.O.L. Man you got way lucky on that machine scrap up here in Canada's about 300 a ton from what I heard this week, that machine weighs way more than that a ton unprepared. I've just paid $1500 for a complete factory original Fordson major tractor in about the same condition without a backhoe and loader to stop it getting scrapped. luckily I got it running and driving easily to, it weighs quite a bit with a full set of factory cast wheel weights that pushed the price higher. Thanks for sharing, Take care

A 1967 Ford 4500 was the first piece of heavy equipment I operated
