when's part 2 replacement engine

It's a Wizard kind of day.

[@dancurrier6421]

whens Part 2 coming out

[@mutchg4ming934]

Is it available in the UK?

[@davemonster2]

7:25 thats a deep squat, you should try but your heels on the ground

[@mileshigh1321]

I love this channel because the only drama involves, a blown hydraulic line, gasket head, or fraid tow strap! All easy to fix, and all enjoyable to watch! Just like this Excavator repair!

[@JackAldrich]

Not only have I learned a lot about engines etc., I have enjoyed spending time watching your team problem solve and work closely together. It is so refreshing to not hear any foul language, politics or other forms of negativity. Just good people helping others and enjoying life. Production values of the videos are awesome as well. Thanks for sharing these great stories.

[@kissthesky40]

Doesn’t everyone have a 3208 engine laying around?

[@sweeptheleg.]

I do, why don't you? 😁

[@GK-gr2mx]

Easy swap 😂

[@SizzStarr]

I didn’t even consider having a extra engine laying around was an available option.

[@wadesmith3400]

I'm tired of tripping on it

[@nathanmahler3743]

Right. I have 2 laying around.

[@carlosrodriguez-xt1ug]

Every time Heavy goes to touch something they play the explosion which keeps breaking me lol.

And they primed your feelings with the pouring of fuel just b4

this belonged to my brother Van 😢 who we shockingly lost too soon 💔 you guys would have LOVED him! and he, you 🙂 so cool to see you up there helping to get that out of there 👍🏻

So sorry for your loss. Van we say hi to you as an excavator fam

[@davidskala7652]

I'm sorry for your loss, the cool thing about this video working on his machine is now a bit of your brother that will always be around being shared with the world. Honestly that's more than most people get, some say people die multiple deaths the last one is their name is spoken for the last time and with this video and your comment his name lives on. Rest in peace Van, much love and respect to your loved ones,

[@alkennedy1124]

Make sure you keep van and his memory , with this good ol machine, thanks BigAl California.

[@zacharyblanco6780]

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there hope you have a good day

[@rickrack78]

Could you build a genset that has a hydraulic pump on it and bypass the motor and pump in equipment? Run 25 feet of hydraulic hose and either piggyback it right on the equipment or locate it close and run the lines? It could be used to run any hydraulic system, at the shop or remote. Just a thought

[@jttech44]

Sure, but, hoses and fittings for this kinda stuff aren't cheap. You'd also have to adapt it in the field, which can be a giant pain. That is a known thing that exists, not for equipment rescue, just portapack stuff for jacks and whatnot. Works well.

[@MichaelBrown-yv4zs]

You guys should go help Demo Matt dig up a cave he found on his ranch.. would be a good colab.

[@katesharrow5077]

Love the will it start videos,keep them coming they are fun to watch.

Great video to all the Fathers on the Channel and the great work you all do thank you.

Good man, thank you for filling the filter on camera.

I bet the feeling of getting a reluctant old engine to fire up never gets old

[@nielshylen]

Hey Dave! Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your content. The way you combine incredible builds, off-road adventures, and genuine positivity is truly inspiring. Your dedication to quality and your passion for what you do really shine through in every video. Keep up the amazing work - can't wait to see what you tackle next!

[@Epic_Eggroll]

I love these recovery video's! Greetings from Belgium. :)

That equipment when you can only gain by trying and nothing to loose . Fun stuff to get going . Try things you never would on good equipment. Then it runs and mostly works!

75mph is the current record for a tracked vehicle. I would love to see you try to beat it.

Why not make that one video

You have the best video/editing crew on this platform. They elevate your vids to next level.

Looks as if the timing advance in the high pressure fuel pump is not working... probably gummed up with old fuel and sludge.

[@johnwalsh653]

Hey Dave I love your stuff and your one of my favorite KZbinrs. I think you might be able to help out another of my favorite Tubers with a project. Matt Carriker from DemoRanch has a second channel named Matt Carriker where he has bought an abandoned ranch in Bernny Texas. He gas a bunch of caves on the property and has been digging out one that was filled in back in the 1930s for the last month. He is at a point of more than 20 feet below the surface and his equipment is maxed out. I thought you might be able to help him out. Keep up the great videos and work you do.

[@lpe655]

Isn't this the one Allen already built a new pin for in the yard?? He had to make a sleeve and then fill it in with weld.

[@ReachYourLimit]

Hey Heavy. How are you ? My name is John and I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos and content very much. . Im in my lats 50s and I am a retired Police officer of 30 years and former US Military. Im sorry I didnt put in for some of the items you have given away in the last few years but hopefully I will in the future. Keep up the good work. Much respect brother.

Those old CAT 225s are beasts! Sad to see it in such a state, but with your skills, I’m sure it’ll be back in action soon. Good luck! 💪

Nice one H D

[@user-gc5rp9ly6t]

Hey Heavy D, question is out of curiosity. Not even sure if it’s you the read this stuff and although I subscribe and liked this video as well as many of your other ones. This question is about you and not the video. how did you learn so much about diesels? When you do the recovery’s and this type of thing it’s awesome and my favorite of your content. But really curious how you learned soooo much. It’s awesome! Were you in the military?

Great video

[@kathimeadows7869]

Upside! Been using this app for over a year. Great automatic saving plan!

[@djvelvetgrrl]

Glad to hear from someone who has used it! My perspective is that I gotta spend the money first, so it's not "free money" per se. And, there's the added steps of remembering I have the app, find a spot that has what I'm looking for in the app, and I would want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. I can barely remember to get gas when I'm running low, let alone have the time to stop my travel to look at the app for where around me has gas at a good price. Have you found it to be worth the added steps? I'm wondering if the hassle is a substantial enough net gain.

[@kathimeadows7869]

@@djvelvetgrrl I find it is a great savings plan! I always look on the app when I get to the city I know I need to fill up in. No, it’s not free money. I cringed when Dave was discussing the app. Give it a try.
