Parker Forced To Build 110-Ton “Frankendozer” To Avoid Bankruptcy | Gold Rush 

commented 13 days ago, video uploaded 4 days ago lol

One time they added ratchet noises when the mechaninc was using a botle jack that got me rolling

the cranking sounded like a briggs and straton lawn mower lol

When office desk jockey Nike/Le Tigre Wearing Producers think they're Mechanical

thats just the hook... its like the curse of oak island " could it be that..... "

But how does bankrupt take his denial of homosexual special rights to the gold placer ? He's no freeking mexican !

He is because he's trying to recoup the money from the down payment and then also be able to pay his workforce and fuel.... Like the 3rd episode parkers teams not even in the episode and I think it's because they probably made little to no money and he refused to let them show the team stressed about it.

That's business lol

This is one of reasons I quit watching this show.

It's put together with parts from other dozers... not new parts or necessarily the same part from the dozer thats working now. Stop being dramatic

@jimmyehrhardt7019 drama queen

It's literally a frakendozer because it's slapped together using parts from different machines lol

That's like saying most Subaru are Frankensubarus cause they have transmissions, and suspension, and engines, and interior from other Subarus. Yall the ones being dramatic. Yall have no clue what true Frankenstein machinery looks like. This video was totally clickbait.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Frankenstein's monster was made using all human parts... 😅

Mitch started way back in season 2 with Todd Hoffman

@@farmerrobert5978 it was season 3 replacing their old sick mechanic

Yes they did, And they did it all in between commercial breaks on tv!😅

Well now they rebuild very fast

I agree. That is not a wreck they just decided to get going one afternoon. They had already spent considerable time and money on it. From 2:55 onwards you can see a lot of new hoses, filters, P-clams, test ports, harnesses, rollers and seals. The equaliser bar looks to have a new bearing fitted to it at least, if not line bored, and I do not believe for one second the pivot shaft at 3:10 has been out in the open for very long. Anyone who works on this gear knows actually fitting the track frames, tracks and a blade to a tractor is a lot easier and a less time consuming than all the small work that has obviously been done.

Well who builds a damn bulldozer to avoid bankruptcy. That’s the dumbest title I’ve ever heard in my life.

What is it exactly that you know that makes you an expert?

I think it's called entertainment. I grew up in a grading/excavating family and you would not want to see fabricating in real time.

I built one yesterday out of scrap from the dumpster on my lunch break while eating a ham sandwich.

If you don't need all the bells and whistles you can the difference between corporate companies and owners properties

Especially as rhe built it basixly in a field.not a workshop

It may have taken time to assemble the parts if they weren't already there

@@Bennie32831 I've been involved in a field rebuild of a dozer as the decision was to rebuild vs replace. Taking things apart, and putting things together in the field takes a lot of time (even in a shop they take time - its just better working conditions and an overhead crane speeds things up). Then you have to add the time required to fix or replace "minor" things as there was a reason those 3 dozers were parked. In our case it took about 4 weeks as we pulled the engine and transmission and had them rebuilt offsite, and replaced all the hoses and a variety of other things (including putting in a modern seat for the driver - which they loved as it was a great improvement). I stand on my statement above. No way were all those assemblies already disassembled and in good working shape. They had to be taken off he doner and any repair work done (bearings being the most likely for the track drive/guide assembly - at a minimum you must check all the bearings before reuse - and its likely some of them were not in pristine condition and replaced).

@@perryallan3524 Yeah you're not gonna find a trashed machine with a perfect track assembly or one with a perfect frame motor and trashed tracks .All three donors were probably equally beat up.

Frankenstein's monster was also build from different human parts.

@@McGillus😂😂 when you replace parts on your car… is it a frankencar?

@@zanelance-hardman4826 That is the great question. Plutarch would be proud of us.

It’s easy to bolt stuff together

Cork i recon.

Commiefornia thats why

Lol they have to restore the environment when they are done planting trees, recreating the terrain, restoration of streams/creeks

Why do you want to? WTF is wrong with you?

No such thing

@@Bigsoot7393 kinda. Cat don’t make the d12. Google Mearns hire. They modified a d11 and call it a d12. The d12 has an 3512B engine (1250 hp), upgraded torque converter plus. It’s been lengthened.

@@hamishbracey5411 nice, now that sounds like a frankendozer not this d11 made up of d11 parts haha

@@hamishbracey5411Don Mearns is a nice bloke, I have spoken to him and been to his workshop. He showed me two D11s' at the back of his shed that he is planning to join together (side by side) into some super double D11.

The sponsor of the show sells construction equipment, so no mining operations are shown using mining grade equipment

Do you always talk out of your ass?

Wyoming too

I want to see the security personnel that they are hiding from the cameras

That's all and respect for sure

cameras exist

@@ski6712 I'm sure he'd be using cameras but there'd be plenty of ways to take a bit here and there. I'm sure he'd be relying mostly on a trust basis and it would be well understood what would happen if any funny buggers happened.

it'S a trust base,and i think the old guy that handles the cleaning is partner or somethign like this. you don't wonna mess aroudn and risc that awesome job for a few nuggets. if youi get cought,you never get a job in the industrie again

@@aikrichter5403 I reakon you're pretty close to the truth there mate....

Slapping a D11 together like that is not that hard. I have done it so I do have an idea. They are not rebuilding it as such, just making a complete one out of what they have, although they appear to have line bored the equaliser bar and fitted some new rollers etc. You don't really need any special equipment except something to lift the track frame with and some kind of a torque multiplier or a norbar to torque the master link bolts up. Everything else a decent heavy diesel fitter or owner should have.

How does homosexual special rights cause skimming ? They're no illegal mexicans !

Reclamation is a major part of what they do. In most cases the areas come back better than what they were before they were touched.

That is the essence of docu soaps, you have to create a problem to keep people watching. I'd be happy to watch them just doing all the boring stuff.
