Andrew id just like to say thankyou for inspiring me to get into heavy epuipment operation, coming from a performance gas mechanic background i doubted id be able to maintain this kind of equipment as ive never really been around heavy diesel machines, but you have given me the confidence to put myself out there and start farm hand work which has given me the oportunity to operate tractors with hydraulic controls, telehandlers, small loaders and dump trucks, which has now lead to me subcontracting my own little jobs, just a start but its all because of you, much appreciation for the effort you put in and the lessons you teach, keep it up!

[@rpujol]

Just a quick observation Andrew and very important: This tapered style pins with conical bushings at their end for the 988B and 992C, need to be press fitted with a 50 TON force hydraulic press prior to installing the center bolts. This is for pressing and locking the cones good against the pins and the machinined holes. And all should be very clean and without any grease or oil on them. If you only tighten them with the center bolts, they will get loose and damage the pins, bushings and the machined surfaces. Also the center bolts need to be torqued with a reduction torque multipier to CAT specs.Very important on this big loaders as they develop a very big stress on all the pivot joints. This is applicable to all pivot points of the loader linkage. Also, on the lower pins that attach to the bucket, if you installed new pins, they should be filled with oil through the holes provided on the edges of the pins, removing the plugs and installing a special lubrication fitting. These bottom pins are the only oil lubricated and maintenance free. All the rest of the linkage have grease fittings.

hope he does not put many hours on it. It could result in some very expensive lessons. This big equipment is not the same as the small stuff...

During the early 70’s I worked as a detail drafter at the Big C in Illinois. Worked for the 988B section. I had no idea how lucky I was to have this opportunity. I was paid the same wages as the guys in my section. This huge wheel loader was only eclipsed by the 992 also built in Aurora. Thanks for showing me how resilient this machine is in 2021. As a 71 year old grandma I am thrilled to see the 988B still in action.

[@herbemont7627]

I worked as a sub contractor in a lime stone quarry, we had a 988B 50W serial number, we kept on hand to build haul roads. At one point, the quarry had bought three new 988F's and all had transmission issues, and they would borrow our B model during repairs. One time, their operator returned our machine and said " I have to downshift into first gear to climb that hill, this thing went right up it in third." She was a beast. We never had to remove the cab to haul ours, we hauled it on a rail, maybe they used a low-boy.

I had a "68" Pierson "motor yacht" when I was living in Barnegat , N.J. It had 2 monel tanks that were totally loaded up,with algae/crud, usually when I got into some serious wakes in the inlet near the lighthouse was when I got into trouble. I can't begin to tell you what tell you what I did with them after I got them out of the boat, but they still managed to load up (2) huge inline filters in any rough surf. I finally found a truck repair place over by Great Adventure in the pines. They cut the ends out of the round tanks and did what they had to do and sealed them back up. I replaced the fuel lines and filters for the last time on that project. Good to see that you are back rocking it!beginbegin

Back then, each scoop was 12 tons (UK). No idea who built the excavators, but as a kid, helped dad service and repair them as you do with yours. I used to have to work harder than his employees, as I bet you had you with yous, so no privilege and I was at school with most on the children of his employees.

03:30 - Guy with the big cigar needs to be in movies. "I got machines, all types of machines. Come in all colours, as long as it's yellow."

[@digdugdonkey8237]

Thats a hell of a machine! Wish i could get behind the wheel of that lol. Thanks for all the videos man, this is by far my favorite channel on youtube. Merry christmas/happy holidays to you and your family.

[@discoverykai1547]

Your creativity and innovation are truly inspiring.

[@trentp151]

Really an amazing production! Very relaxing, with great taste in music too! Runs like an epic adventure movie. From the thrills of the vision being executed, to the working out and solving of difficult mechanical situations, this is great work man!

It takes a good operator to run a 988 without spinning the wheels. It looked like the guy running was having difficulty at first. You have to crowd the bucket as soon as you hit the pile to create downforce on the tires so they don't spin. It was pretty muddy, so that may have something to do with it. Also, the wheel loader with a steering wheel and transmission neutralizer pedal is a little harder to load than the newer ones that have a variable torque converter that lets you vary the wheel torque from 100% down to 25% with the left pedal, while providing more hydraulic power to the boom and bucket. Also, with the 988F, the steering wheel changed to a Stic steer on the left arm rest with pushbutton gearshift on the Stick control. But a ton of work can be done with this wheel loader. I can't wait to see what Andrew buys next. Its so fun.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Them rear tires were too bold on it maybe that is why was spinning so much.. Andrew might need to replace those as well specially if he is going to keep this new toy a few years.. Otherwise i fully agree, the progress is fantastic i can't wait to see more..

[@dyer2cycle]

..speaking of spinning wheels, I noticed right away the rear tires on this beast were Wayyy beyond bald, toast actually...I'd hate to have to pay someone to change those tires, much less buy them!... :0

[@cathiwim]

Just an FYI, if the base of those trees is buried by more than 6 inches, they will probably die with a couple of years. The feeder roots need to be within 6 inches of grade.

[@AndrewCamarata]

I have so many trees buried like that, even 7 years later some of them are doing great with tons of new growth. And when they die, the new ones love the sun hitting the ground and grow fast.

[@this-is-slammin-549]

At one time or another I welded on every part of that tractor. I welded the engine frames EEF, welded the NEEF, I welded the buckets, welded the lift arms, even the ROPS. I wouldn’t be surprised if I could find one of my stamps by some of the crucial welds on that very tractor. It rolled out of Aurora Illinois Also welded on 990,992 and the 994

Most bottle jacks don’t work on their side, it would be better to try a portapower setup where the ram is separate from the hydraulic cylinder. And by the way I have a few acres of land and have always wanted to make a nice stock tank for fishing but I can’t even afford the smallest backhoe or bucket loader that you have, you’re a lucky man

When I worked for British Aluminium in the late 70s, they use Michigan's, but with a big centre pole, and was used to carry 12 ton rolls of aluminium, or ingots. Dad was never sure of the amount of sand/gravel - ours held (a lot 2.50 a truck)

[@russellsmith3825]

I hope you read this, could save you a ton of money, years ago I worked for Foley Caterpillar in Wichita and had to go out on a field repair on a 988, it was custom specced with a truck torque converter and maybe a different transmission for loading stock piles, they later were trying to dig with it and burned up the tranny. Check your serial number and make sure this isn't the case with your loader before you break something very very expensive.

Be cautious, moving such large land masses can shift the balance of the land mass on the hillside and make the soil resting on the bedrock unstable and cause a landslide

Landslide? You mean more loose material for lower side.
