    incredible how a machine could be subjected to so much water that the manifold disintegrates but still be in operating condition more or less. love the drag line machines man !!

    Firebreathing beast raised from the dead! Cant believe it started that easy with such a messed up carb.

    Good job Frank, the fuel mixture sounded a bit rich and then you had the afterburner kick in!😂
  • Another great video. I’ve never loosened the release clutch for the steering on my 10B so the handle just goes round and round when I swing and I drain water out of the gear housing every year, never got around to addressing that issue. I thought I had a shovel front located for it but all there was was the front, all the components needed for in the machine were missing. I’ll be watching for the next one.👍

    Lol, you'll have a heated cab when you shut all the sheet metal. Good job Frank.

    Your best issue to date. It's enjoyable to watch you progress as a YouTuber. I know it's a lot of work.

    At 51:53, she lets a good fireball lol. Fantastic work again! Thanks for sharing
  • Haven’t got time to watch it now. In the Dominican Republic, my stepson and fiancé got married here yesterday and going out to eat now. I just jumped thru video, looks to be a good one 👍. Something for me to watch in a.m. when everyone is still sleeping.

    Another superb video, all the better for your observations being as bone dry as those frozen joints. You are a real champion..
  • @debbie8654
    You never disclosed to me that FR was required at home too! Great video!
  • Good job , remember the Oil pump to the gears,., I have a 10 RB here in denmark
  • That’s awesome! All was love your videos. Just wish had time to do stuff like that. 👍👍

    Really enjoyed seeing you getting things freed up and working bro, even the engine started then a pyrotechnics show to boot. Safe travels. Ken.
  • @gleanerk
    It lives ,flaming up ready to go ,kinda ! Enjoyed watching friend!
  • Bravo Frank! 😁👍 You done a fantastic job freeing up the pins/levers and getting it running again! It's a shame there was soo much water inside, hopefully things will free up better. Enjoyed the upload. Happy wrenching 🔧🔩
