Towing a Volvo bobtail

[@steelfist65]

Dude, I've been with you since the beginning. I'm glad to see you with a heavy! Slow and steady wins the race! All the best to you, I know it hasn't been easy.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

thank you man its awesome how many true supports i have yall are fanatic really makes me wanna share more and more

[@BlueCrayonOfficial]

So good to be back doing heavy work, and this time around you are the owner!

[@stellarproductions8888]

Thats exactly right Blue Crayon, your my favorite color BTW hehe. There is nothing like the heavy duty wrecker industry. And its like you said, Malachi gets to do this without having to deal with corporate white collar folks who never had to work on the side of an interstate road, where vehicles are flying by you at 70 miles per hour! Now Malachi makes the decisions, and plus he can afford to joke around a little bit, without being yelled at by a boss who has no sense of humor lol.

[@BlueCrayonOfficial]

@@stellarproductions8888 Yep! Well said, it's so much better once you get to the owner operator side of things.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

absolutely thanks for watching

[@theGovnr1]

Congratulations on getting your heavy, been following you since your days at Johnny's and it's good to see you growing your own company. Perhaps you should make a Truck tour video of the new Heavy and show everyone your equipment you are working with now.

[@rob8308]

didnt realize you got a heavy. nice truck, good to see you back doing what you love

[@ronharrison1776]

So glad you have the larger wrecker now , too . Always hoped you would .

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

feels like I'm back at doing what i honestly love to do

[@BlakeFreeman10]

Glad you got a heavy! Next a rotator! Proud of you bro! 👊

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

thank you sir greatly appreciated hope all is well mr blake

[@stellarproductions8888]

Its great to finally see your new heavy duty wrecker in the daylight, that way we can see the pretty details. You said she's an old girl? Well, you wouldn't know it just looking at her, she's a beauty, I just wanna caress her contours, check out her undercarriage, know what I am saying? Holy molly, another semi with a tough to drop drive shaft. Yeah Malachi, I think your going to need to buy some new quality tools my friend, yes indeed. Your truck sounds so good, loving the new video's already, thanks for sharing!

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

lol tell me about it those drivelines have become a pain lately and tell me about it i thought mac products where good they have a swivel head on them so i got it replaced and got a set of straight sockets with no swivel

[@jackbarnard7632]

Glad to see you back with a Nice Heavy...

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

More to come!

[@prshardy]

Pulling the driveshaft is the hardest part of hooking up lol

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

yes i agree especially one like this ha ha

[@coypatton3160]

[@robertsimpson772]

Good to see you back in a heavy wrecker. I still go back and watch the rotator videos occasionally.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

Nice to see you back!

Hey, thanks!

[@garysmith5434]

Nice have you back doing videos

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

glad to be back sharing

[@gordonleahy1364]

Welcome welcome back birdie you and Malachi

[@stellarproductions8888]

That is not J-Bird in the video, that is Patty, a long time friend of Malachi's. I only know this, because he said it in the video, when he was hooking up the air line to the air dryer on the truck. We haven't seen J-bird in forever, so not sure what has become of him. I just hope that wherever he is, he is happy. I always enjoyed J-Bird, a guy who always laughed, always smiled, he was naturally uplifting, and I miss him.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

glad to be back bird is back with priority i believe

[@ariedekker7350]

Malachi and buddy, nice to see this.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Malachi !! Those "DRIVELINES" sure give you a "" pain in the butt "" for sure ?? 🥵😡🤬 Glad the weather wasn't Raining or ""SNOW"" too boot !! Guess your Swamper's name is Pat ?? 🤔🤔🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

id love for the snow hate the rain tho lol and ya tell me about it darn things lol.yes sir his name is pat he usually operates the 12 ton

[@KB-gs8zi]

@@McKaysWreckerservice Well !! Hello Pat & welcome to the team !!! Sure we will see more of you in future videos with Malachi !! 🤔🤔🤠😎👍👍👍👍👍

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Malachi !! Snow might be nice to see , but laying on the ground & trying to get a driveline out ,would not be too much fun for sure !!

[@larrysell1919]

U need 12 point impact sockets & racheting wrench’s . Snap on

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

i have them sir patty snapped our 1/2 mm 12 point on the last bolt that was much to tight but i have them from mac and matco now i only had one set in the truck at the time of this job so had to use the wrenches to finish it off

[@רמיזית-פ1ע]

Well done Mackey's..just professional..fun to see you work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😀😀😀

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

Thank you so much 😀

[@funkypaul2822]

Great to have you moving up in the game!!! ps: get yourself some DEWALT lights for nighttime recoveries! Gives you great videos!

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

DeWalt lights ill have to look into them do you mean like the Milwaukee light towers???

[@theGovnr1]

@@McKaysWreckerservice Yes they are like the Milwaukee lights... Personally I prefer the Milwaukee over the Dewalt because I own several Milwaukee tools so I have extra batteries and chargers that can be interchanged

[@granitecowboy2199]

That's weird.. I love my Matco tools. I mean all impact tools fail, and either that loctite was really good on that bolt or whoever assembled that driveshaft overtightened that bolt because they didn't know what they were doing. Would have definitely put a torch to it to make sure the loctite was broke loose.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

ya know i thought the same thing but foolishly left my torch behind slipped the mind on putting it back until i needed it being lazy caught me lol

[@vaughnhill3437]

Good to see you moving on up brother. Been wondering what happened to you.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

ya had to get some things going but im back and even more excited i get to share the heavy work again

[@timhamrick9498]

My man you need a set of drive line sockets ,go see your Mac guy

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

ya definitely need to see him since we snapped ours 1/2mm socket on this call

[@VW5767]

Malakai, Its great to see you back in a heavy wrecker. How's the Bird doing?

[@jkidd2007]

Looks like it's time for a trip to "Hobo Freight" to get some of their premium sockets.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

lol i should make a trip. i just hate how those sockets give me so such grief to get off my impacted or socket wrench

[@dustintramm5692]

FYI the forks you used-incorrect as the axle was not seated in the throat of the fork

[@Bobtidbury]

Can you introduce us to your new helper .Whats happened to Jay do you still keep in touch with him you two worked so well together.

[@SlidTossedPissed]

My question exactly

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

that's pat he has been a long time friend he usually operates the 12 ton but he will come with me occasionally to gain that exp and jay bird is doing his own things wish him luck

[@lawndudelawnmaintenancellc3203]

Been watching you since the beginning I love seeing your growth especially see that now you have another truck. Any chance you’ll be able to do a walk around video of your new addition?

[@deenunya7735]

It Aint a Rotater , Rigid Boom Bud

[@lawndudelawnmaintenancellc3203]

@@deenunya7735 appreciate the correction, I corrected my question 💯. I sent first comment prior to seeing back half of truck 😂

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

yes yes ill definitely get a walk around video of the heavy for sure and thanks a lot that's awesome and greatly appreciated

[@mdrailroad1688]

Note to self carry spare sockets

[@stellarproductions8888]

And wrenches! Preferably quality ones that won't bend or snap too.

[@loveistheanswer8137]

A breaker bar, And a torch just in case.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

most defiantly i picked up an extra set after having to deal with that lol

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Lmao the hood closing itself 😂

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

ha ha lol definitely had us thinking what the

[@cdarting91]

I think you have room for more flashing lights. Lol

[@rayremaker4703]

Do carry a cordless impact gun. that would have helped with the drive shaft bolts.

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

ya it would have but patty snapped the drive line socket on the last bolt that was much to tight so we had no choice but to use the wrenches

[@deenunya7735]

Good to See your back on the Heavies , When did u Get it, Volvo 1st Job?

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

i have had it a few months we got it in July repainted it and first job was a short turn just didn't have my cameras ready

[@msnpassjan2004]

Wow, congrats on moving up to 35 ton wrecker in just 2 years !!! Glad you are doing well. Is your side kick from you previous employer still with you ?

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

thank you! jay bird is not with us anymore

[@jonahkasiborski1472]

Have you ever did a train derailment with the rotator trucks?

[@TowMan127]

💪💪💪

[@Dylan-kw4ol]

Is your wrecker like Ron Pratts 35 ton Vulcan V70

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

it is just a century not the vulcan

[@cford7130]

Where can I get the adapter for the air line from

[@SlidTossedPissed]

Is it any easier, to remove one of the axles (as in pull it out) from the drive wheels behind the driveshaft?

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

no because we would have had to remove four axels alot of tow guys think you can get away with pulling one axel but the spider gear in the rear is not meant to turn constantly may not cause damage rite away but definitely burns up that gear

[@SlidTossedPissed]

@@McKaysWreckerservice Something I never knew. Much appreciated. Love your channel, respect you highly.

[@stevenjones3755]

Cordless impact might go faster

[@McKaysWreckerservice]

yes it sure does but on this job you can see how patty snaped our socket for that size so we had to resort to using wrenches and the last bolt was to dam tight
