Bulldozer repairs

Nothing like a new Andrew camarata video on a Sunday afternoon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Talk about a "One Man Show". This stuff blows discovery channel shows out of the water. You're an insanely talented person. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and motivating me brother.

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, 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.

Man, that opening - I'm remembering back when that road was so bad you could hardly get a tracked vehicle up it without getting stuck and having to use a winch over and over. Now you could drive a sedan with bald tires up without any fuss. THAT is some serious improvement!

Never seen anyone with this much patience in my life. Vice grips in the bushes for sure fixing that cable.

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.

I didn't notice any rust on that dozer. Andrew is living the good life.

Wow, I’ve never seen Andrew fix anything before it actually broke. His famous quotation.” never fix anything if it ain’t broke.”

Andrew videos are "like a box of candies," you never know what you'll get till you open it up and dive in. Great video AC!!

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