Possibly taking the fuel tank repair a bit too far on Bubba Dump A30c 

The emptying of that fuel tank was the most entertainment I’ve had in ages!😊 Suspense, comedy and a bit of a gamble all mixed in one - Thanks Mike!

I enjoy Aaron's attitude toward safety. It shows that his other life is amongst concerned professionals and in a less competitive environment. He has healthy reflexes. Well done Aaron and I hope that some of your influence transfers to Mike. He is a dare devil with his crocks sandals !

You and Aaron are hilarious. The videos of you two are always entertaining to say the least. Thank you

When draining fuel tanks, be sure to have a bucket list. With enough buckets checked. ;-)

I was doing a fix and flip on a 70's JD 450C dozer and used the bondo to smooth a HUGE series of dents on the fuel tank. Friend asked why I didn't "fix" it correctly as in heat and beat,use dent puller,blah,blah,blah. My project my choice was my answer.

👍👍👍👍👍👍. You guys do great work together even going back-and-forth disagreement.

Aaron is a real hoot,I can't stop laughing he really brightens my day.👍👍🇬🇧

You know it almost doesn't matter what the content is, just seeing you guys working together and cracking each other up is always worth watching. Love it and keep it coming.

Aaron, I agree that tweety bird yellow is best, but the owner likes big bird better. Looks great either way!

Always a pleasure watching y’all work together laughing cutting up and having fun working. Sure glad y’all fixed the tank.

You two are great entertainment!

You broke Arron's heart when you admitted you threw his paint away....lol but he will just have to get over it. Nice work on the tank some welding and paint works wonders. Keep up the good work guy's.

Back in the 70s there was a saying in the Marine Corp "If it's not green it's not good !" Refering to the olive drab green. This was before everything changed to camouflage .

T. rex arms strikes again!!! The banter between you guys is the bright spot in my morning. Keep up the good work!

You guys are awesome. Over and beyond for repairs. Looks like a new tank. Man behind the scenes is a master at his welding skills. Great job guys.

Great job welding Aaron

you guys are a hoot...im laughing while watching..love you and aaron together,such good watching..

D P and Man Behind The Scenes, the dynamic duo have done it again. Well done boys I love the workshop banter. Watching from Perth Western Australia.😁👍🇦🇺

Only the best for Bubba Dump!! He’s a classic ❤💪 Nice job guys, and MBTS, DP always sets you up, stay alert 😂👍🇺🇸

Very food job Aaron and Mike on the Bubba dump A30C . Fuel tank weld .

Nice to see the job being done right, ole Bubba is one of your go to machines, it needs the TLC treatment, thanks for the tag along video sir, fun watching it come together.

Can't wait to see the video of the Mack dump truck

You Two are just too much. 😁🤣 I am only 5 minutes into it and my face is hurting from the grinning and laughing. It's amazing you two get anything done....I can only imagine what a road trip with you guys would be like!!!!!!!

Great job painting the fuel tank Mr Dirt Perfect

Nice to see Bubba Dump getting some much needed TLC. Gotta keep the old boy healthy so it can be reliable on the job. Having Arron there to get under where a certain overgrown individual can't squeeze certainly helps. Arron's welding is definitely top notch. You'd think he does it for a living instead of walking around with a coffee cup in his hands barking orders like a foreman (hee he) 😂 Volvo did an outstanding job designing Bubba so his engine compartment is easy to access and work on. Unlike so many other excavation equipment.

I think hell just froze over when you 1) Pressure washed the tank, and 2) decided to paint it. Nice job!!!

🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸I LOVE these videos- can’t tell you how they bring me back 2 sitting tucked in the corner watching my late ole man & his brothers getting bikes etc ready - the banter , remachining, retooling, sigh rather nostalgic today - blessings guys thanks for the really good memories 💕🙏🏼👊

Hey Mike, I really like your new intro and outro. For one, it puts family before work, and it is simple with a touch of class.

Nice job DP, Great job on the paint. Aaron did a wonderful job on fixing the gas tank. There's nothing like having your own master welder!

I can always tell it’s going to a good day when I wake up, check my phone and there’s a notification from RU-vid that Dirt Perfect has posted another video. God bless you and Aaron. Y’all made my day, again. 😁

I've got to be honest with you Michael I do enjoy watching you and Aaron work together. You guys work very well together and he's always got a smile on his face and a joke coming out of his mouth. You're not too bad yourself as far as it goes for fella's to work with. But I'm wondering why you guys didn't pressure test that tank? It wouldn't have been very difficult. Anyways been enjoying the shop videos. Stay safe and God bless yall

Having MBTS back in your videos is awesome.

Im glad Aaron was there to get that professionally fixed . Good Job Aaron

That heat from welding the first spot really opened up the top one. I was waiting for more to show up the more he welded on it.

Love the new introduction it is just so much better I was getting so fed up with watching that poor kid getting smacked hard going down the flume.

Bubba Dump will have to be all painted now surely - green with yellow fuel tank hmmm What a great lot of fun and yet got heaps done.

That was a one in a million shot Aaron made putting that plug in the first time lol

Awesome video as always DP - Had a wild thought about your new end credit screen (the metal corridor/door) why not take some footage of inside the bucket closing on the thumb and opening again and use that? It would be more inline with what you do rather than a computer game corridor and door, unless that is you're branching out to include gaming too maybe? Again, only a thought not a critique as I do like the new titles too. I have watched your antics for a long time and still enjoy every single video released, you are a natural, keep up the great work.

Really nice job on the gas tank. That truck would look great painted green.

Wow come out sweet mike! You should of went green amd did the other finder too! And it's nice to see the skipper and his little buddy back in the shop lol

Let's call the color "ochre". I once owned an old chevy blazer that I used to have to defend with "It's NOT yellow, it's ochre !!"

Well Done. Great example of safely rebuilding a diesel fuel tank. Impressive auto body work & nice electric rasp.

There is one thing about it, y’all don’t halfway do nothing, always professional. Another Awesome Video

I like the new opening ,Always a fun time with Arron and Mike together short guy jokes a plenty ,These are great lessons in life how to have fun while you work and that's very important ,Mike's right on that Body work looks like he's very familiar with Bondo , Arron's welding is spot on and Mike has gone above and beyond just a mere welding repair on this fuel tank awesome work you guys

Excellent team work guys. Enjoyed the entire fix. I like your new video intro opening with the garage door. Oh, buy five more 5 gallon buckets. I keep about 9 new five gallon buckets in my tractor shed. Full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 3/22/23

Factory color! Not doubt! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 looks too good to go wrong now guys, awesome repair job and paint job my friends! Thanks for sharing DP,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

MIKE YOU AND AARON TURNOUT SOME NICE WORK FROM THE SHOP AND GIVE US A GOOD LAUGH ALONG THE WAY THANKS KYM ADELAIDE

So many different skill sets on display… Great stuff as always ❤

OK guys, I just gotta tell you we are here could have the worst day ever, and all it takes is to watch one of your videos and it sure makes a very great day and a big smile upon your faces, your camaraderie, and you’re worth it thick or next to none and we all really enjoy it! Hope you guys have a very great day and as always, you guys have done it dirt perfect

DP. I think you needed to put this video on your new channel “Equipment perfect”. I find it difficult to believe that you need a “show” truck to move dirt! 😊 On a serious note, thanks for bringing us along on the project.

Mike and Aaron great work on the fuel tank! You guys are perfectionist! Also your new intro is nice! Thanks for sharing! Kevin ,

Really enjoyed this one. You two did a great job. But I had not realized until watching this that adjusting headlights with the frame screws was an old-guy thing. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I just hope that tank holds fuel as good as it looks!!!! You won't know until you fill it up!

Awesome 👍🏼 can't wait for the stacks. Beautiful paint and body work nice weld too keep up the hard work 💪💪💪

i could watch you two all day, such comedy with an imformitive twist ha ha ha. keep up the great content guys

I just luv how your painting with a resperator and your spraying pait right at your helper with no mask its kinda a keystone cops skit.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Mike, former 25 yr's AUTOBODY guy here, just FYI, they do make what is called a "STUD-WELDER," used to weld on "Studs," appro. 2.5" in. long, come in two different sizes appro. 0.0625" in. (1/16" in.) and 0.125" in. (1/8" in.) Harbor Fright (spelling intended) for a KIT, containing a Stud-Welder, a Studer-Puller (a.k.a. Pull-Hammer) and a small sample box of studs to get you going. If you should decide to go this route, look to see if the Kit includes a "HEAT- SHIRNK" adapter. In my opinion the "HEAT- SHIRNK" adapter is a MUST HAVE deal breaker. Normally, when using a "Pull-Hammer" (Old School,) you would "PUNCH Holes," versus {drill-holes} so as to get a better {stronger} bite around the screw-in-tip of the pull-hammer. Another reason to punch the holes, gives more surface area for the Bondo to grap onto, versus a drilled hole, where most of the time the metal surface area of the drilled hole, winds up being too close to the top of the high area's of the repair, leaving the Bondo only less than approx. 1/16" in. and less, to adhere to. In cases like this, you need to counter-sink (don't go wild, a small counter-sink will work) the holes to get that all important surface area for the Bondo to hold onto. Another reason to maybe get one, is if you have access to a metal lathe (you know, like that DUST-COLLECTER in your shop,) you can make different Tip's to aid in the removal of nut & bolt's versus using a "FIRE-WRENCH," more commonly known as Oxy-Acetylene. I'm so glad to see this is the only channel to have on board, WINK, wink, an OSHA approved safety officer, the man behind the scene's. I love the smell of burning one's self first thing in the morning, just to get things rolling. Next up, that small molten drop of steel falling just Goldie-Locks like into your shoe. Makes for great dancing scene's. LOL!!!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Nice job on the tank, people will start thinking you went and bought a replacement part. Looking forward to seeing more of the updates on Bubba. The pressure washer seems to work really nice for a residential unit. Perfect for your situation with a large driveway with almost anything possible parked in at no particular time or location. Wishing you and your family the best.

Thanks for the video Mike. It's really nice watching two friends working on a project. It's even nicer when both people are experts, and I would guess Mike has worked in a body shop long enough to be considered an expert! Cheers from Canada. (I would have painted the tank flat black)

Good job . Aaron seems to be more agreeable lately...😊

There is a famous song applicable: there a hole in my bucket. 👍For the volvo guys. If they make a drain its definately drains all.

OD green would have looked great. Like the MIL spec 850j. Good work on it 🙂

Fun banter and excellent craftsmanship displayed by both of you. Always fun to watch!

Thank you gents for an amazing video with all around laughter.

Glad you resprayed the fuel tank it looks fantastic plus it's protected from rusting out and causing more fuel problems. Keep up the fantastic work guys 👍 👌

your exhaust fan needs some TLC too. tank looks awesome

I was waiting for you to empty the bucket by putting it back in the tank. Sort of disappointed! Think about it! Lol!

Hope that gets all the cracks repaired. Both of you guys did a great job. Hope the rib is doing ok.

Nice to see Aaron's precise circular motions whilst welding those cracks... I can tell what the weld will look like just by that... job well done !

I like the new beginning - lead to the topic! Overhead door & other changes!

Bubba Dump would definitely look good and unique in the green paint, we could play spot Bubba in a field when it’s parked against a tree line😂🤣🥲

One piece at a time worked for Johnny Cash. His didn't cost him a dime. Yall did good.

Great job guys getting the fuel tank off bubba dump

Geeze look at the big holes in those welds. Is Aaron scared of a little paint dust…. Wish I had the patience and less stubbornness to worry about it like him.

Aaron makes things relatable for us fellow short people.

Shame u didn't have enough green paint. Looking forward to the stack build

Really good seeing Bubba Dub getting some love, that tank looks brilliant only issue is now your going to have to make the rest look that good. 😂🤣 Are you going to change all the lights with LED's, you'd see it coming from miles away. Great seeing you work together, Aaron's welding is so good, your lucky to have him around. 🤗👍😊😊

Arron and his fedish for Tweety Bird yellow, 🤣. The boy just ain't right! probably dropped on his head too many times as a child while watching reruns of "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show". 😁 Arron's welds looked nice as usual despite his claim as to not having welded in a while; and DP "dun gud" on his bondo and paint. 👍

From the sounds of you painting the tank on the video the color should be called Machine gun yellow

Morning DP and man behind the scenes

Great repair great video thanks Mike and Aron

Good morning sunshine Bubba Dump is gonna love sporting that new paint job on that fuel tank! Lol! Much love from Henderson Ga

A air test would have been in order before painting. Cheers fella's !

I think yellow and black warning stripes would be a good scheme for the fuel tank.😅

Great job lads! My dad always said when he doing a refurb job “why spoil the ship for a ha’porth of tar” 😂 Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍

Would of used CAT yellow as it is most abundant in the States and no supply issues. Good job guys.

Banter was as good as the job itself guys. Hope it goes back on without too much paint loss and swear words. All in all a great video as always bro. Safe travels

Great looking result on the tank, DP and MBTS!

The green would have been really nice, but the tank came out really nice. Thanks for sharing.

That exhaust fan sounds like it needs some maintenance. :) Nice job team. Thank you and have a good week.

If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times: this is better than anything Hollywood could ever come up with. I’d actually pay good money to see content like this in movie theaters. Remember guys: safety third!!

Always in joy your videos DP and you and Aaron crack me up

Great job as always! Now for the rest of the paint on Bubba lol

LOOKIN; GOOD, KEEP SAFE

Love your content and really enjoy when you two are bantering back and forth Aaron is such a great guy a real addition to your channel

Great job on the welding and the body work. Li!e the new intro and outro. Bubba dump is going to look fine 1of these days. Thanks for the ride along.

Tweety bird sounds like a good nickname for your little buddy

Where was Matt for doing pressure washing? You should get an electric one ton ergo pallet jacks that go up to waist height.

Lots of work but it is going to look good. Keep Smilin
