Nice job tipping it back up. Good thing it drives low speed. I'd get the slip yoke replaced on the bent driveshaft. My Dad worked in the woods on logging equipment, They had a line machine that would lose the brakes on the carrier when engine died. One time it went over the bank. Dad went up to get it upright and back on the road. The operator after jumping out on the high side said, "Bill I'm gonna change my shorts and eat my lunch". Dad repaired and replaced sheet metal. Next time the same machine went over, they had the same operator. Brakes were fine, he had a heart attack and was dead before it went over the bank. Again Dad fixed all the damage and had it back to work the next week. RIP Dad you taught me so much.

This reminds me of when I had a property in 96 with a 25% grade driveway. I had an old 1960 Case backhoe. I was bring a bucket of firewood down to the cabin when it slipped out of gear. I went to push on the brakes, and my foot slipped off. By then I was already out of control. It flipped over, with one front wheel breaking and bounding away. I ran to my crane, and got it upright. And man was I grateful to not have lost an arm, or worse. Glad you bailed safely. Cheers.

Agreed, everything else aside, its unlikely to be anything mechanical or major, as prior to roll over it was running ok, even up his driveway slope, so the motor wasn't too bad at that point, beyond rollover nothing else will have changed majorly.

U-Joints. Nice video. As a young guy in college is where I worked in an autoshop under a master mechanic in my small rural city. This was way back in the mid 70s with less regulations and and possible to get such a job as an apprentice if you were eager and willing. I changed U Joints, idler arms, transmissions, real axles, brake systems, with the right tools and hydraulic lifts it made things easier. Thanks for the video

Love the Karate Kid mixed with Stranger things type music as the crane gets towed away lol. Such a serene place and shot with the drone

[@chrisclark4813]

That was QUICK THINKING to jump. Well done. Glad you're OK.

Excellent Choice Andrew- Eject! Last week I had a runaway engine on my 2003 Impala. Faced with a similar situation but couldn't bail at 80 mph+ on the highway. I was in Cruise Control at 60 mph, hit the accelerate button 5 times really fast, then hear a wide open roaring throttle and the tranny shift from 4th to 2nd. I'm thinking what the hell this ain't right. Now at 70, I'm still accelerating, so I tap the brake which is supposed to turn off CC. Nope still going. Now over 75. I flip CC switch to off, no help, engine still roaring, now at 80. I step on brakes fully in hopes it will cut CC and slow me down at same time, no help, brakes just slowed down acceleration rate a bit and a curve in the highway is ahead of me and I have to come off brakes or the rotors will melt. Now 85+, OH hell, time to cut power. I turned off ignition switch being careful to just go down one step to the "acc" position. I don't have power steering but I didnt lock the steering wheel. Gracefully slow down and pull over. Yikes! And yes, I removed the CC cable from my throttle body.

Me when literally anything happens: I am done with life. Andrew when his crane rolls down a hill flipping over causing hours of work: well that’s unfortunate.

Mental toughness from doing difficult shit

[@boyswhoweargirlspanties3861]

That’s mental toughness from doing difficult shit. Andrew Camarata has just recovered a tipped Pettibone hydraulic rough-terrain crane 🏗 with a 1995 Hitachi EX100 excavator and a 1968 Caterpillar 955H track loader.

[@ronsteelable9405]

Holy smokes, that's some quick thinking. I wouldn't have jumped out nearly as quickly. Glad you're safe!

[@digitalradiohacker]

Pettibone Crane: "I'm just off for a wander". CAT 955: "Looks like we're going to have to do this the EASY way".

Actually sounds like injectors could be clogged with stuff or bad, we have a Volvo front end loader and it sounds the same way

[@HandSolitude]

The pistons probably jammed a whole lot of engine oil up into the diesel injectors.

[@glintwing]

Ye was thinking the same. Too bad he didnt clean the injectors while he had it dismantled....

[@dominatorut]

I was thinking along those lines... Also can anyone confirm that was enough psi on the fuel line? For some reason I thought it should have been a much higher flow rate.. I don't know about these engines and I get confused around "lift pumps", "low pressure", and "high pressure"... Can only remember high pressure being in the neighborhood of 22,000-32,000psi or so... Just saying I've had freightliner and volvo semi's sound the same as when he said the engine was shot and all they needed were improved fuel delivery... If everyone is saying injectors then I would have to agree. I'm no expert just a former diesel mechanic. Long-since out of practice.

The sound of that cold start on the green bucket!!!

I learn more from this guy than all of my college professors combined!

[@richardbowles7690]

Life is always more interesting with diesel and hydraulics in the mix

[@timjon1122]

Lmao. "There was no reason to be in it anymore." Well said.
