[@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.

[@beckyhardy4129]

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,

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

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

[@BrandonKnight-il9xs]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@AquaTech225]

@@jttech44I don’t think money is an issue. KZbin alone would cover any of that cost in one video

[@Sacred_IT]

Thanks for the consistency HeavyD

[@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.

Great job yall

There's just something about guys working on any type of vehicle/building etc that I just love. Takes me back to my childhood watching my dad and uncles work on stuff.

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?

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.
