You took the words right out of my mouth with that transfer case that is a lighter duty still classified as heavy duty but counter shaft fails then grenades the gear set

[@johnking2790]

I really enjoy your videos. For something I know nothing about with soil cement. It’s amazing and your knowledge of all around trucks and equipment is great material. Keep the videos coming. 👍

Great video Charley, interesting info on the Detroit motor, should pull the truck well being loaded down, man I would work for you any day, I'm up in Western Maryland, those reclaimers do wonders with wet nasty soils, thanks for sharing, keep up the awesome work, no rest for the wicked, good you got a couple days off, look forward to seeing the next video

[@mischef18]

Cheers for the update bro and good you had a couple of days off. Safe travels

[@pinecone01]

These updates are nice, it's neat seeing behind the scenes - whats going on with the trucks and stuff, and the soil/ground work too. Good content, and much appreciated!

[@thomasbailey8306]

The Company I used to work for did that same thing with Soil Mixing Cement. He has 4 of those machines that mixes it . I didnt realize how many people do that today. That was the first time I was around it. It does work Good.as long as you do it in lifts. Gets really hard..The truck your building should be a beast and just the ticket for you in spreading the Cement. Great Video..

[@leol1682]

Love your knowledge Charly your the man .

Thanks! I attended the school of hard knocks. Had to learn some things the hard way…others just realized if I wanted it a certain way, I’d have to do it myself.

Charlie - you are one heck of an engineer. I reckon you could build your own truck from scratch.

[@kevinjustice5102]

I’d love to come help and learn this stuff could be worth it in my area not many companies do it.

[@richardw.foxhall3392]

Glad to hear you could see your way to a couple of days off, you've more than earned them. Wise words on equipment power to weight, nobody needs a spreader truck that turns 9s in the quarter mile... looks like you need a bogger with enough tires and axles to float the load over deep muck or failing to float, having pulling hooks with cable keepers. Truck catches up to the dozer and the cae doesn't fall off. Good stuff as usual get some rest as you can.

[@jkmcp45]

Our off road log trucks had manuals in them and 435 Cummins now we switched to Allison autos and they don’t get stuck as much and tore up cause the auto or so much kinder to drivelines

11:15 why not a surplus 8V71 - older M109 howizers get decommisioned with engines that barely have 2000 hours on it with most beign idle time used for the howizers hydraulics saw one with 1800 hours that was sold for under 1500 dollars

[@erikcourtney1834]

Your one busy man. So much going on. I like your thinking. Take a chance to tear up the transfer case before replacing it. Why replace it if it’s not broke. Lol. Wishful thinking but never know it might last a while.

[@georgeking5746]

Did I see one of your trucks, a blue Peterbilt maybe, and one of your reclaimers sitting in the weigh station off 85 south near Mount Holly, NC possibly?

[@copperheadmarine]

Yes, the driver forgot to fold in mirrors so the permit was void and haf to wait on another. Also the wso didn't like my DOT#" its only 6 numbers" I'm like " yeah because it's front 1994"!

For all the work you’re going through is it worth looking at an M 1070 ?

[@clayboist]

With that float axle I definitely think you'd have some floatation

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Hey Charlie, Chris' new buddy C & C Equipment had a big 2000 Cat CS-563D vibrator roller roller that was ex military with like 25 hours on it for sale, when I saw it I thought of you. It looks like a pretty good deal!

[@ke6gwf]

One of these days I expect that you will put a spreader body on one of those high flotation excavator undercarriages, and maybe bridge a reclaimer between two sets of high flotation excavator tracks. You need to be able to turn a swamp into a pad in 3 passes! Lol

[@ronaldlarue1107]

Any plans for a service truck seems your getting enough equipment and you don't have much spare time?

[@copperheadmarine]

We have one. Just doesn’t get used the way it needs to. A lot of repairs consist of more than a road call.

[@thatdave86]

Just asking ,would it be more time and cost effective to put in the 92 Detroit and even de - rate it ? Would that work ? intrigued to see the rear drive set up ,would triple the same be a good set up ,as in 3 air bagged set ups ? Anything to streamline the work and also the repairs ! Cheers hope you get sleep 🙂

[@clayboist]

Sounds like a lot of work getting that spreader dialed in. Update us when those beefy tires show up.
