Bulldozer repairs

Nothing like a new Andrew camarata video on a Sunday afternoon

the shot of the dogs sitting and looking at the mountains was definitely a money shot. thanks for what you’re doing because you make it look easy and your reasoning and thinking problems out is excellent. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant! My dad worked for JICase for 30 yrs. Seeing the dogs peacefully sitting there enjoying the view nearly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Andrew

The random appearance of Porky was gold ! Also, Andrew should invest in a giant roll of that hydraulic hose and the crimping tool needed to put the connectors on. I bet the price of making those 8-10 hoses at the shop would have paid for the tool. He sure needs a lot of hoses for all the stuff he does.

Glad you addressed the fact that those cable clamps were on the wrong way originally. I noticed right away. My uncle always used to say "never saddle a dead horse" meaning the saddle (the part the u-bolt goes through) always has to be on the "working" side of the cable.

I don't know nothing about bulldozers but this one is my favorite of all Andrew's equipment. So many things come together to make a well thought tool.

I’m absolutely amazed at how deep the porcupines needles went into you boots, in an instant too!

As a former merchant marine captain (although from the Netherlands) i have a copy of the 'American Merchant Seaman's Handbook" (Ed 1965) that shows a special vice for clamping steel wire like this. I have never seen it in real life and you would not buy one for the occasional wire clamping job, but they do exist. On the ships we also simply started at the end and slowly worked our way to the eye. But our more experienced bosuns scoffed at this and preferred the old fashioned splicing. Nowadays neither is allowed on ships as the wire including the eye has to be tested and cerified. And as we don't spend much time in port we usually replace the full coil of wire rope if there is any failure. Wasting a lot of money in the process. Modern times! Nice to see you got it done in the end.

Color coding the hoses with zip ties is brilliant! I have a zillion of those and never thought of this.

Andrew, your videography is getting better and better and so is the drone footage. I had to get a screen shot of the dogs looking at the mountains--so beautiful. Every time I see one of these videos I get enthused and get back to work on my own stuff. It's what you call motivational.

Don't know what it is, but I could watch this video another couple of times before I'm satisfied. Same with the rest. I love this style of filming and editing. So simple, no click bait, no gimmicks.

I love the video cut from you trying to replace the cover you found, to belting it with a sledge hammer on the track. Pure poetry.

Andrew, thanks for another great adventure on your property. I don’t think there’s anything you could not fix you are unbelievable.🇺🇸👮🏻‍♂

Great dozer, looked like low hours as well. Always good to see you working on a recently adopted piece of equipment. Your attention to detail is what I love about your channel. Especially when you have to get something done! Great video, stay well, stay safe!

That was interesting. Cody and Blu enjoying the scenery at my favorite place on top of the world. Filming with the drone makes it look magical. The new green dozer after repair did a great job. Thanks Andrew for sharing again. Xx

I enjoy Andrews posts for their honesty. He had heaps of trouble getting on the clamps for the winch wire but showed his failures as well as his ultimate success. He may have cut out the swearing however because if it was me there would be a lot of swearing.

You have the patience of a saint for working with that cable and not losing it! Either that or good editing :-)

I wouldn't trust that jack as a safety stand. I had one break the cast piece holding the lock pin and it dropped instantly to the ground. It was holding up the tongue on a 15 ft batwing bush hog, maybe 500 lb. while I was replacing the tongue jack with a new one. Lucky my feet wasn't in harm's way. The jack was from Tractor Supply and the first time used. Thank you for your time to share your interesting events with us.

Andrew so satisfying to watch you tidy up what looks like a great dozer. Many of us are too rushed to keep up minor maintenance and it soon gets major. Thankyou for sharing with us here in Australia. Your country views are incredible. Please keep going.

I enjoy the disassembly and assembly processes because it’s like being taught how to approach various challenges. Keep it up man.
