That's because he doesn't like making multiple videos on one project for views so he just keeps the footage saved till he is done with the project before dropping it, I like how he does it , some guys will make 5 videos for a 1 hour project, just to make more 10 minute videos
@@atre6652 nope if it was me and steering wont work and no breaks and rolls to the edge of bankment id just jump out and let it go rather then being stuck in it
Remember when he was driving his truck and the whole wheel fell off and he just causally said "well there's my wheel" as it rolled by? Ever since then I knew this was the most level headed calm dude in the world. I would of lost my shit plus some.
Andrew, I was a plumber, sometimes a contractor for 35 years. It is always hard to see a good tool go away, but thirty five years taught me several things, and one was that my trade ate tools. they went faster if I didn't take care of them, but there was always a day when they were no longer worth repairing them. Rest in Peace of for some like the Pettibone, maybe resurrection, and another tough life. It did well for you for quite a while, you did well to get off while the getting was good. You parted with ten fingers and ten toes. Some days , that is as good as it gets.Glad you are OK and will do better!
@@AndrewCamarata Awesome! You needed a bigger unit anyhow- all the girls say so! The Pettibone isn't done yet, nor are you. Castles are never finished, I hear!
Wow, what a saga. Andrew you must have a great organization system for all your recordings. To be able to pull all the footage of the crane from what must be hundreds of hours of videos is a difficult task. Fantastic editing and it doesn't go unnoticed!
Having rolled around underneath machinery in the dead of winter, I take great satisfaction in watching somebody else doing it while I sit in my warm comfy chair with a beer.
"It just needs to not, y'know, be upside down" - winner of most laconic and stoic statement of the year. Brilliant! Might want an extractor fan in the castle too :-D
@@pear7777 Nah, it's exactly what you do, and why cabins on machinery like that are designed the way they are - so that the driver can jump out of the machine if stuff like that happen.
@@grejsancoprative actually, it depends on the situation. More deaths occur from jumping from machinery & being crushed rather than staying put in the rops cabin and riding it out, although that also depends on the operator wearing a seatbelt
Literally every issue you have and how easily you over come issues is just so awesome to watch. Glad you are safe but man I would just get anxious, cry and freak out for a little then panic
If he brushed that trackloader off with a wire brush and painted it yellow and put new stickers on, its still a valid machine to take to high end customers. Its 50% heavier than his D4 so it would be great for stump busting and roughing things out, then finishing with the IHI
Excellent Choice Andrew- Eject! Last week I had a runaway engine on my 2003 Impala. Faced with a similar situation but couldn't bail at 80 mph+ on the highway. I was in Cruise Control at 60 mph, hit the accelerate button 5 times really fast, then hear a wide open roaring throttle and the tranny shift from 4th to 2nd. I'm thinking what the hell this ain't right. Now at 70, I'm still accelerating, so I tap the brake which is supposed to turn off CC. Nope still going. Now over 75. I flip CC switch to off, no help, engine still roaring, now at 80. I step on brakes fully in hopes it will cut CC and slow me down at same time, no help, brakes just slowed down acceleration rate a bit and a curve in the highway is ahead of me and I have to come off brakes or the rotors will melt. Now 85+, OH hell, time to cut power. I turned off ignition switch being careful to just go down one step to the "acc" position. I don't have power steering but I didnt lock the steering wheel. Gracefully slow down and pull over. Yikes! And yes, I removed the CC cable from my throttle body.
@@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin Unfortunately, hourmeters just tend to not run when hooked up backwards. I accidentally had one connected with the polarity reversed while rewiring my haul truck. Still funny though! The machine generates fresh oil and new filters while running too!
@@patrickd9551 So, it's the timeline that got you? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news Patrick, but the crane nor the lawnmowers are sentient either.
Nice job tipping it back up. Good thing it drives low speed. I'd get the slip yoke replaced on the bent driveshaft. My Dad worked in the woods on logging equipment, They had a line machine that would lose the brakes on the carrier when engine died. One time it went over the bank. Dad went up to get it upright and back on the road. The operator after jumping out on the high side said, "Bill I'm gonna change my shorts and eat my lunch". Dad repaired and replaced sheet metal. Next time the same machine went over, they had the same operator. Brakes were fine, he had a heart attack and was dead before it went over the bank. Again Dad fixed all the damage and had it back to work the next week. RIP Dad you taught me so much.
First the castle and now a big ass piece of equipment being worked on? It's like you've answered my prayers and are back to makin' the videos I love most
Andrew, so glad you jumped in time. It was horrible this had to happen. Blame it on winter and time. Enjoyed watching you get it going again and fixing what had to be fixed. Too bad the engine is too weak but sounds like it is going to a new good home. Always look forward to any of your videos.
Man that track loader consistently earns it's keep just for the number of times it comes to the rescue!... Sorry for the mishap with your crane Andrew but I'm very glad you weren't injured!!!
That oil hit me in the eye when you turned it over. I should've had my safety glasses on. Glad you got it recovered...what a mess to deal with. But really glad you are ok.
“This thing did not like rolling backwards at 30mph while in gear...” that’s an understatement. Also, how funny would it have been if someone answered that phone # and was familiar with that machine and all the part #’s 😂😂😂
Sure am glad you got the larger crane.... knowing how much work you did on the top of the castle...any one new to the channel, your in store for the best thing going on You Tube.
Hah! I know right. I would if froze and rode that sucker all the way down and probably split my head open and got a concussion. Andrew instinctually just hops out, lands on his feet and calmly watches it. Boss move.
It happens. I was driving a HMWWV up a steep hill in Afghanistan when it hit a jutting rock and starting to go end for end back down the mountain. Yeah, I jumped out real quick, saved my life, the vehicle was obliterated when it finally came to a stop. Sad thing is, it could have all been avoided, if the Captain had just listened to me about positioning a retrans station for comms. There was a good location about a mile down that was more easily accessible, but more remote. However, Captain trumps Sergeant, so I was ordered up that mountain. He tried to have me charged under the UCMJ for destruction of Government property and insulting an Officer. Luckily the Lt. Colonel heard my side of the story and witness stories and laughed at the Captain. Good times, I miss the Corps.
This reminds me of when I had a property in 96 with a 25% grade driveway. I had an old 1960 Case backhoe. I was bring a bucket of firewood down to the cabin when it slipped out of gear. I went to push on the brakes, and my foot slipped off. By then I was already out of control. It flipped over, with one front wheel breaking and bounding away. I ran to my crane, and got it upright. And man was I grateful to not have lost an arm, or worse. Glad you bailed safely. Cheers.
@@TobiasHinz1992 germany is a country that is the largest contributor of global warming from coal burning power plants. and global leader in co2 emmisions id say your barking up the wrong tree lmao. how much more do i dig up
@@TobiasHinz1992 pollution is pollution no matter where its from. i have been all over germany, the recyling, auto sector recycling, oil ground contamination is far worse than anything the usa and canada produces by a long shot. do some research
1:17am, 5 minutes ago. Nice. I wasn't ready to go to sleep or anything. :) Very smart choice to bail out. Equipment can be replaced or repaired. You can not. No one got hurt and you can work another day.
Wow, you are a stud. Lots of hard work talents that you have. I used to run an old off-road crane like than in 1975 - it was a '71 model but it was tough and great for multi uses. Great job on our video's - you are most inspiring!
"If I was lucky it wouldn't haven't stopped running here" Words of wisdom. Glad your quick thinking and experience didn't fail you. I need your content in my life.
Wow, you are so blessed you grew up the way you did, with the life experiences you had, and by the grace of God, things could have turned out really bad. Have a wonderful, and Blessed day!
Andrew your property is looking like a equipment yard ! I wish I was younger and could have all your toys ! I have a 65 acre farm and a barn but it’s 180 miles away and my wife said N O asto move many years ago ! Do it while you can ! Love the show ! Keep us entertained!
The level of understatement while casually delivering easily the most interesting and well edited content is mind boggling. Good thing, you are alright.
Me when literally anything happens: I am done with life. Andrew when his crane rolls down a hill flipping over causing hours of work: well that’s unfortunate.
That’s mental toughness from doing difficult shit. Andrew Camarata has just recovered a tipped Pettibone hydraulic rough-terrain crane 🏗 with a 1995 Hitachi EX100 excavator and a 1968 Caterpillar 955H track loader.
Ur video's among others from different people blow my mind. You've accomplished more in less than 1 video than I've accomplished in my whole life. Awesome.
Did we consider having the injectors gone gone through and set/confirm the injection timing? Is also check those hard lines for split/cracks. Many are invisible to visual inspection, and do not leak, yet allow air to drawn into the fuel system. That , confirm high and low fuel pressures are within spec, as well as a compression (and/or) leak down test.
Andrew: "If only I'd listened to what my dad told me..." Viewer: "Why what did he say?" Andrew: "I don't know. I didn't listen..." I'm so glad that you avoided any injury Andrew!
You don't know me from Adam, but I am so glad you are ok man. I turned several of my friends, that work for a living as well, onto your channel. We enjoy how you show mistakes and mishaps; but damn man, this one caught me off guard! This serves as a reminder to keep situational awareness in mind and have a plan incase of emergency... Like bailing and not getting ran over! GLAD YOU PULLED THE EJECTION HANDLE IN TIME.
Trying to hold something up while bolting it in place is a bitch. The part can weigh only 10 pounds and, after 15 minutes of frustration, it feels like 100 pounds. It happens to me changing starters on my back.
U-Joints. Nice video. As a young guy in college is where I worked in an autoshop under a master mechanic in my small rural city. This was way back in the mid 70s with less regulations and and possible to get such a job as an apprentice if you were eager and willing. I changed U Joints, idler arms, transmissions, real axles, brake systems, with the right tools and hydraulic lifts it made things easier. Thanks for the video
Impressive and quick reaction getting out of the crane, Glad you're good! I've binged about 100 of your videos the past few weeks. You're awesome Andrew!
best thing Andrew is you got out and let it go, good repair work, I use to work in the industrial lift truck industry here in Canada and the company i worked for serviced Pettibone equipment of different types and i ran the service and parts dept end of the business and any time it came to get parts and they were no longer sold or always out of stock it seemed whenever i placed an order they had to come from the supplier to them then to our facility so the customer always had to wait a few days or a week or two, Grove is a much bigger company globally to so serviceable parts are easier to come by most of the time, nice job putting the roof on, no worries about shingles blowing off ,great video 👍
It amazes me how calm you are! Nothing seems to phase you. I guess when there is nothing you can’t fix or do, you have a different perspective. You are the man! Great stuff
Your comment on being LUCKY Andrew is exactly correct. Being a professional and working with this equipment you know the dangers when things are going RIGHT and when they are going or about to go WRONG. And that is when you make decisions like a professional without hesitation. Good job. Not sure I would say you were "lucky" either, but I am glad you were not hurt or anybody else.
AWESOME VIDEO ! I LOVE YOU CHANNEL ! I HAVE A TREE SERVICE IN FLORIDA AND BOUGHT AN OLD RUN DOWN HOUSE AND REMODELED IT / PUT UP A 40X40 METAL BUILDING AND 25X35 ENCLOSER TO WORK ON MY BIGGER EQUIPTMENT OUTSIDE . THINKING ABOUT GETTING A FEW SHIPPING CONTAINERS . YOU VIDEOS GAVE ME ALOT OF GREAT IDEAS ! THANKS !
