Brings back memories of driving the really OLD dumpers when I worked on building sites. Handle start (if it gets stuck - RUN), no power steering, manual skip. The new ones are unbelievable. I'm bloody jealous !!
A handy machine that young lady. Dumper's are usually the most abused machine on any site. I never understood why it took 50+ years before some clever clogs said "Lets put a cab on a dumper" to the management. The weather in the UK is generally crap and dumper driver's have suffered bad backs and shitty weather for far too long.
That was a great hands on video, nice to see first the jobs you will be doing , nice to see the gantry crane in use , making it easier to do the dumper split & safely too . I notice you did quite a bit of explaining things, it’s nice mucker can learn & understand what’s going on with these jobs !!!!🤣Don’t let him have to much of your knowledge, he will disappear & start his own channel!!!!!!!😬
A dumper with electric start your really getting spoiled 🙄😁 these center pivots on 4wd dumpers never seem to last long along with track rod ends☹️ great little video an a great voiceover 🤔😂👍
I’m less likely to do something daft 🤣 annoyingly, this doesn’t have any bushes in the steering ram. That maybe another project when I get a minute 👩🔧
My brother if he was still alive would say, "Get a bigger hammer." Seriously, I say repair and the cost be damned. Clean it up, sandblast it and paint it. You can't put a price on being able to stand back and say, "I won."
Tell captain obvious you don’t need his help to service a Diesel engine! Lol, just kidding. Although I think he is quite concerned about the backlash from members of the welding forum 🤣
Hi from Durham Kim and KM @ LM 👋👍 great job doing them bushings they can be a right nightmare sometimes but you did a excellent job 👌 and I love seeing pooch on both channels you know its time when pooch gets the paws up bless🐾🐾 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
Been on the look out for a dumper for ages 1 - 3 ton. Serious money for what they are. As with all plant everything is heavy to lift on and of when working at them. Hard to beet a we project
Back in the 1970s and 80s our local Parks and Reserves Department was using several WW2 surplus dumpers, obviously without pivot steer. The modern kit is vastly superior. N.B. The baggage handlers at the city airport were using WW2 aircraft carrier plane tugs to pull the baggage carts.
Good video. Thank you. As a carpenter, I can say that there have been plenty of times when a piece of timber has been a more appropriate hammer than a 20oz framing hammer. I noticed that your ball pein hammer has a fibreglass handle. Fibreglass handled hammers can be nice to use BUT if the handle shows any sign of damage, toss it before it shatters and the hammer head goes flying. Very few carpenters use fibreglass handled hammers because the handles can shatter without warning. I do not tolerate them on any job that I am running.
So there’s no gearbox fluid because it’s hydraulic driven. Where the gearbox tank is, from memory there’s a round screen and the red dog in the middle. The oil needs to be on the red dot in the middle.
Thanks, very much appreciated. I’ll try and find it - just worried I put it in the wrong place! It keeps sticking in ‘park’ when i try to drive forward/backward … and I was hoping a bit of lubricant would solve it! Probably a more significant issue! Great vids by the way - a real talent. Steve
Been a subscriber for a while but not getting notifications. I always check the all notifications but it’s been removed. That job would be daunting to me but seing you do it easily and calmly I would try that myself. Thank you.
