New tires for 988 loader

[@trebornesregrot]

I work as a paramedic and we have whole nights where we watch Andrew's videos in between calls and debate what the best way to rescue him when stuff goes .wrong, but it never does! He must have the best sense when what he is doing will go right! He does what we all dreamed as doing but never do! Thanks and keep life full of fun Andrew !

[@ortzinator]

That's pretty funny. I've seen Andrew do some sketchy stuff but he never seems to get hurt.

[@JamesCouch777]

That's too funny 🤣. Andrew said that he has a sixth sense that tells him when things are about to go wrong and that's what keeps him from getting hurt.

Did you see the one where that Pettibone crane decided to plummit down the hill? *"I didn't need to be on there anymore"*

[@jesseleesamples]

I love how he’s done stuff that makes people nervous in hundreds of videos, but when he showed up in a cast in a video it ended up being because he just stepped in a hole runnin down a hill lol. Tbh I do sketchy stuff all the time just like Andrew, and I don’t love doing it, just like I’m sure he doesn’t, but when you work mostly by yourself, or at the most with maybe one or two people who are just somewhat nearby, you get very used to doin stuff that would be considered dangerous to most people. Waiting around for help or for a 100% safe method to do the job means the job isn’t getting done yet. There’s an art to knowing when to risk something though, and an art to knowing how to keep from getting hurt even if things go south, and Andrew is definitely an artist at both lol.

[@Mouthy_Trucker]

lol hundreds of thousands of people , probably millions, do as or more dangerous work every single day . They just don't record it and put it on youtube ... y'all are acting like he's breaking new ground here or something, in fact a lot of the stuff he does is only dangerous because of his lack of experience and knowledge of what he's doing

[@slashnburndotcodotuk]

Induction coils are amazing. For maximum effect, try flash cooling the component before loosening. The heating expands the bolt, crushing the debris in the threads, the debris acts as an insulating layer so not all of the heat is passed to the surrounding metal. Flash cooling will then shrink the bolt faster than the surrounding material, allowing penetrants to seep in. It's another step if loosening when hot fails. Good work man...

It never ceases to amaze how powerful earth moving equipment can be .. that bucket has gotta be a 7 yard bucket , and a yard of stone weighs between 2500-3000 lbs .. that means that loader is lifting up to like 20,000 pounds.. that’s like lifting 5 cars at once

[@drewdoestrucks]

When they debuted the 675, (the original loader in the mega-loader class), Michigan actually promoted them as a way to eliminate haul trucks entirely. Bucket capacities up to 36 cubic yards were offered (likely for coal) for a capacity of 36 tons or so per bucket (!). The 988, I believe, was offered with a maximum closer to 16 yards, although that would have been a newer generation than Mr. Camarata has here. There have been a wide variety of loaders sold as 988s with capacities from 9 yards on up. Either way, these are massive machines capable of moving amounts of stone that are hard to wrap your head around.

Have the same impact for my cars, and works very well with driveshaft bolts and stuff. But a cat loader is a diffrent world of course. But you need the proper impact sockets. They make a huge diffrence. The small induction heaters are nice too. There are a lot of induction spools in all diffrent sizes on ebay. All chinesium, but its only a thick copper wire with a fabric mantle with a few bends in it. And of course you can bend the spools yourself, make the loop bigger or smaller so it fits the screw or nut.

What you get is a thicker wall on the impact sockets, so that counts for the extra strength. Yes, all tools wear out over time, but the first thing I was taught was using the right tool for the right job.

[@kameljoe21]

@@nickmaclachlan5178 I have seen split, cracked, wore out, broke, chipped and all kinds of sockets of a number of sizes from 1 in down to 3/8 drive in ever size you would think. Chrome sockets are slighty more brittle which means they are overall stronger which is why they will split or shatter. Impact are softer and you can see this by the wear on the inside and drive en of the socket. I have also seen impact sockets shatter. The only thing chrome socket might do it wear you drive anvil down because its softer than the socket its self. When you pay for snap on tools they do not care and will replace the tool because its broken. I stood in a friends shop in which he had a worn out socket that was quite loose and worn to which he wanted replaced and the snap on guy clearly stated that because the tool was not broken he could not replace it. He went over to an hydraulic press and proceeded to crush said socket and then returned it back to the truck while the snap on guy walked back in to the shop and handed him the socket. Then in a fit of annyonance he went over to his tool box and pulled out half a dozen screw drivers and clamped them in to a vice and twisted all of the handles off while the snap on guy stood watching. He then handed them the screwdrivers for replacement and said I have all day so next time replace the tool and you can break it on your time. This was a decade or so ago. The same guy another time bought one of those snap on cordless impacts and a battery faulted and he was so pissed as it meant no more lugging around hoses and everything else. When the snap on guy showed up he fought over the warranty. Keep in mind every tool that you can get from snap on was in this shop. Even crap he used once and never used again and sometimes those cost 100s of dollars. He was irate as he had not had that impact that long and while I do not recall what ever it is. I do know that when it come to anything battery and electric warrenties are clearly different. He was so irate at this guy that I helped break entire sets of sockets, hammers and screwdrivers even bent a whole set of those pry bars. Later that day he called someone up who had a cnc machine plasma cutters and had them make him a metal sign and then welded and painted that press red. It said on top Snap on destruction zone. With some real thick metal. About a year later or so when smart phone became even more popular he had printed out photos of the snap on guy's face of disappointment. In the end he had to pay out of pocket to buy a new battery for the inpact. This is what made him so made. There are some other things he has done. For example snap on came in the shop and he was using a screwdriver as a pry bar and the snap on guy proceeded to sell him a couple of set which I do not recall. Being petty as he was the next week he exchanged all his bent screw drivers for new ones. And he said didn't you just buy a new set of pry bars and he said sure did and pointed up on the wall where a nice pretty box with a glass door on it says Emergency Pry Bars or break if need emergency pry bars, can not recall 100% off the top of my head. I mean a pretty oak box with brass hinges. Might even have said Snapon on it. It was painted on the glass in red paint and some gold edges. Like I said he was petty and did thing out of spite. On the wall in another place is a 10mm sockets that if one is moved the light blinks until it replaced the speaker some how got a screwdriver shoved in to the speaker and no longer works. He made that after an old timer who I was with one day said lets steal his 10mm socket. While I did not take it he sure did. Which resulted in him buying a replacement and having that thing made. Only to have that spot in his box remain empty till his death 6 or so years later to which he got it from a lawyer who has had it in possession not long after he took it. At the time I though he was joking and when I seen him a week or so later I seen that contraption and it never dawned on me that the old timer took it. Any ways the socket and a photo of him is up in the shop in one of those shadow boxes that says something like if you ever wondered where that 10mm when this guy might have taken it contact his lawyer or something like that.

With the makita mid torque and a chrome vanadium socket, no chance. With a chrome moly impact socket, 2 seconds and the bolt loosens. Thats proof enough for me.

[@billvandorn5332]

Very happy for you Andrew. You've come a long way through perseverance and determination! There is nothing I can do pair of shoes and those new tires will go a long way

I was looking for this comment, I thought the same thing and cringed when that canopy smashed that back glass

The problem with Andrew is that his videos are habit forming, and he's a all around good guy, I've enjoyed his videos for about 3 years now.

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

I love these videos. I can't imagine how much work it takes just to keep all the equipment in running condition. It is clear to me that all your hard work has really paid off.

Big tyres, those! I worked for a tyre distributor [Toyo] for a while, and one of those earthmover ones got away from us as we were unloading it from a container. Trundled off down the warehouse and flattened twenty feet of racking!

[@analog56x]

35/65r33's those are the biggest tires ive installed haha! these guys make it look easy; that's a quality tire shop right there. awesome video Andrew, thanks for showing this. takes me back to my tire shop days (not that i miss it, that job literally broke me). they need a needle scaler for the rims haha! also, if it was me, i would have rotated the new ones to the front, as the fronts typically see WAY more abuse than the rears. in either case, im happy to see new tires on this beast haha! :P

[@sjv6598]

So how come the rears were mullered and not the fronts?

[@analog56x]

@@sjv6598 that's a good question, and im not sure. Could be from spinning while trying to get a full bucket load. That's probably the only thing i could think of... none of the contracts were doing quite what Andrew does, they were mostly mills and stuff like that, not quarries

[@coltoncook4058]

I still remember the video of you getting that CL35 skid steer. You've come so far, pretty crazy seeing you progress.

[@geraldharkness8830]

your videos are so full of excellent content andrew, you do what we boys dream of doing! keep it up.

Pretty sure that it wasn't about Makita being bad, just that those bolts were stuck so badly. Those new XGT tools are beasts.

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

That Makita had a crack all round the bottom of the handle/battery housing, wasn't doing it any good. It hadn't passed the Camarata Stress Test. Either that or it was used as a hammer or got driven over by something........ you know this channel! 😁😁😁

[@-redo-6338]

​@nickmaclachlan5178 that isn't a crack. Its on all big impact makitas. I think it's to remove any impact away from the battery.

[@luke1811]

Had me wondering too. The XGT tools are very very nice tools, not as good as Fein, but for a global brand like that very well made, and finally with enough power

[@okgroomer1966]

You mean that blue noodle?🤣

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

You heard the guy it's not like he hasn't had every brand of tool. Not worth it for the cost anymore, like most of them now I suppose.

[@dannico58]

boy does this bring back memories, I did OTR tires for a company out of Lancaster California 23 years ago I've done tires on everything from 613s to 666 scrapers, motor graders, and wheel loaders from 992s down to 906s even 825 rubber-tired dozers, I even had a 350lb 14.00-24 motor grader tire fall on me once. the good old days, LOL

[@UnoDos96]

Them putting the boom against the center of the hub while airing the tire up is a sign that they know not just what they are doing but that it is dangerous. Using the boom as a safety should the ring pop out, Bravo guys. Bravo. That trick was likely written in blood.

[@SA-76234]

Andrew you should get some rock chains for the tires so they don’t get beat up. All the rock quarries seem to have them on their loaders so tires last longer.

[@winback500]

Andrew is finally back making great castle property videos. Happy to see the effort and hard work he put into this video. great stuff.

[@Chicken-t31]

These videos are great and that seems like a hard job if you don't know what your doing

Any day with a post from Andrew is a good day! Curious - he has over a million subs, but lives in the county with a lot of land, old timers and seems to keep to himself and isn't flashy with dumb cars and shit. I wonder if he gets recognized in his "town" much lol.

[@dyer2cycle]

I am actually surprised that New York state allows all that stuff, given that it contains NYC and all the city politics...

[@JJ-yn8fl]

@@dyer2cycle Most of New York state is actually vastly different from NYC/Manhattan

[@dyer2cycle]

@@JJ-yn8fl Yes, it doesn't look too terribly different from where I live, Central North Ga., not far from the TN/NC line, not far from SC either..what is happening here, though, is the urban sprawl from Atlanta is spreading out, creeping in like a cancer, invading our mountains, and consuming the beautiful farmland further south..I was afraid as big as NYC is, it was doing that to the rest of NY state, as well

I worked for this guy way back in the 1980s and one of his Ford loader backhoes from the 1960s had 2 levers for the front loader bucket and 4 levers for the hoe on the back. One was for the boom, one for the dipper arm, one for the bucket and one to swing right and left. Then there were also two levers for the outriggers to hold the rear tires off of the ground when digging.

Great job - you really made a ton of space out of that scraggly lot! And those tires - man, would've taken a whole rubber plantation just to make 2 of them; I shudder to think how much the new ones must've cost you..

[@shawnbeckmann1847]

Hey Andrew.. any idea how much those new tires you put on the back of your loader weigh a piece? Just curious 😉

[@donabele1243]

I priced out new tires for a Hough loader I have which is about the same size as the 988 - over a ton and nearly $10K EACH!!! Decided to stick with the old ones. However, I needed to have the bead seal replaced on one, took the mobile guy nearly two hours and cost just shy of a grand.
