The Forest Service contacted me about a stolen truck, left abandoned at the very top of one of our local peaks. With winter almost here, the chances of it getting buried in snow are high so we need to get it down ASAP! But there's a problem that could stop us...watch to find out!

Props to Alan , those are some top-notch welds.

That's why he's The Wizard.

Alan did prep it and tack it in place but watch again and you will see the regular welder guy actually laying on the plates and weld it all up. That little mexican feller, forget his name.

Glad to see you are keeping within the useful load constraints. There is no sense in overstresing any helicopter. I have rebuilt main gearboxes that have been overstressed. That cost the customer an absolute fortune. And you don't want to damage a friends helicopter.

[@gregggriffith4795]

I went through A&P school back in the 90’s. One of my classmates was a helicopter pilot. He had just recently autorotated a Hiller after it chucked a rod through the crankcase. The suspected cause was overload while pulling Christmas trees. Not applicable to a turbine machine so much, but I can see how the gearbox could suffer as well.

there getting paid threw the distict rangers service there.5:16.

[@WhatsIncluded]

​@@yeahright3021. Why is that your response to a guy saying thanks for helping them out? 2. He didnt say anything about being paid. 3. If you think him saying "working with them" = pay no. Because hes said "working with them" when picking up his own stuck vehicles. 4. Lastly I could see him paid not doubting that but we just dont know. Also the owner of the truck could pay aswell. Or he doesnt get paid at all because this video will pay for it.

Great to see you get a relatively easy job every so often. Normally, I'd agree that that part breaking would suck...but it happened when it was stolen to "hopped up" car thieves. The break left them stranded with a 15 mile hike that they probably were not ready to do. I'd say that was instant karma.

Great vid guys! So awesome that that person got their truck back. Thieves are the worst. Hope they had to walk back😂

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

And they left the cab open to weather too when they abandoned it. Well at least they didn't bust out the windows, slash the tires, disable the engine, etc like some other joy riders are prone to doing. I will keep saying this - We need mandatory laws of restitution where thieves when caught (with no way around it) have to pay back up to seven times the value of what they took or up to seven times the cost of the repairs in order to make more complete restitution to the owners for the stress and inconvenience. This going with 80% insurance coverage after a $2,000 deductible viewed as being acceptable really isn't going to discourage many plus insurance doesn't make one whole but just takes some of the edge off of it. Best!
