Phew, I was just about to ring missing persons!
Great to have you back, thanks mate 👏👏
My back and kidneys are aching just looking at that front suspension, thanks for sharing.
I’d hate to be the sucker sitting in it for 14 hours a day I can only imagine the neck and back pain!
Used to see quite a few Sedon Adkinson's with the twin steer axles in the UK so I'd say it stands as it was built.. Good to see you bro!
Shame about some people not having anything better to do than bitch about others....
It sucks! Small town…. people have too much time on their hands if I’m not putting anyone else in danger I don’t really see what the issue is 🤷🏻♀️
@@dieseldownunder. , i used to be in demolition and worksafe could turn up even when you were in a very isolated place and not doing anything wrong. the boss put such things down to spiteful people who missed out on the job.
There was some old treasures in that yard can’t wait to see the next one, that Atkinson would have been a beast to bash around in every day, the choc lab inspector looks like a healthy boy
Thanks mate it sure would have been! I found a phot of it in its hay day I’ll post at some point, oh yeah he is so spoilt he lives a better life than most people 😂
What a lovely dog Jake,keep up the good work,you have been a busy boy.
Thankyou he’s a trouble maker but we love him, yep no shortage of things to do👌🏻
Good you saving the machines they will be handy again
great collection of rusty treasure, love it :):):)
Glad to see another video keep it coming
Brilliant to have you back Jake! That looked a good old job getting all that iron out the yard. Lots of interesting finds too! I do love me an old Atki👍🏻 hope you can get back into the swing of things and get some more videos posted, your enthusiasm for the job shines through mate! What’s the old saying, do a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life🚛🤙🏻 and what a beautiful doggo🐶 we’ve got a choccy lab called Charlie, he sleeps all the time too😂 thanks for the new video mate👍🏻🤙🏻
Hey mate good to see your here still! It was a fun job that’s for sure I try to stick with that saying hence why I didn’t last in a typical job haha that’s awesome they are such happy dogs we have moose the brown one and Hugo is a black one and they are the best! Will try to make time to keep getting some more vids out!
Cheers
Good to see your back mate, another good video 🍻
Glad ya back mate I like your videos
Great to see you back mate👍 some hard yards in front of you when you start fixing those old beasts up.. can’t wait to see them running, take care Jake👍😎
Good to see you again! Been trying to check up on you sonce the last video.
My X mother in-law lived in Clunes for over 30 years , Now I need to wash my eyes , ha ha , I love Atkinson's I worked there , Drove some to I had a King cab Atkinson with a 400 Cummins , but My first love was a S2 , love your work Mate
Sorry for the nightmare😉😂 cheers mate can’t beat the S2 one of my favourites aswell, I could get into the Atkinson’s too but how many trucks does one bloke need!
I must say jake the blokes that work for you are highly skilled hard to find these days
Great work man saved some gold there. And here you were worried about the crane lifting containers, I’m sure a few will bitch about the winching operations lol. Thanks for sharing can’t wait for the next one
Thanks mate! Oh yes plenty of people will put their 2 cents in, at the end of the day it’s me doing it and not them as long as I’m not putting anyone else in danger that’s the main thing 🤙🏻
Real steel..iron work..secure your present..
Worth the wait... keep em coming!
Coppy on the missing persons lol 😆 been waiting for a new video,cool at last, awesome content 👍
Hey mate, stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago primarily for the W model restoration. Love your work, "couldn't make it on youtube because... plenty of violations in that one" 🤣Cheers from Tassie 👍
Hey mate thanks for watching! I’d love to show everything but I’d cop too much heat from a lot of people and don’t fancy getting into any trouble haha
OOF ! That Atkinson was rough ride and a half Jake ! I drove a leaf sprung MAN 8X8 years ago and that thing was sort of comfortable only when it had about 28 Tonnes on it !
Nice to see your content again matey !
Cheers, Ard
Hey Ard good to hear from you as always! I can imagine, these big twin steers like some weight to soften the ride. Not much fun carting glider fuel if you know what I mean😂
@@dieseldownunder. Yes I get that, But it's a given half the time driving a tipper. 😅
I was just thinking that I hadn't see a post from you for ages, Thought you had MIA in the KW,
Awesome video, from kiwi land
Good to hear from you again Alan! I havnt touched the kw for a couple months which I’m not too happy about, hoping I can get back to work on it soon
Cheers
I Like the idea of getting dabs on a whole junk yard. thanks for the drag along.
Hi Jake great to see a new post! It’s too bad some folks have nothing better to do than complain to people about something that really isn’t their business. Sometimes in doing a big job like that things get sketchy it’s the nature of the beast. Can’t wait to see some updates on some of this equipment if it’s good enough to save and what not. Stay cool man
That’s it mate! If I was doing it on a big building site with any other people around I’d understand but it’s all internal work and that’s why a big company could never do a job like that, too much risk.
Thanks mate will have more updates soon! Cheers.
Hi jake good to see you back some people an goverments need to stay out of our life . Cheers mate
I agree mate! Although the Worksafe bloke was awesome I told him the situation and he was really good about it. I didn’t need to go looking for trouble but now I’ve finished they can’t stop what’s already happened
Great to have you back mate keep up the great work👍🍺
Glad to see ya back. !
Great to see back cobber, some excellent treasures in that yard, all those beautiful steel beams, rsj etc would put a stiffy on a statue 👍
Thanks mate! Yep it’s hard to get steel like that these days, most of it is real steel too not chinesium😂
Well done!
Nice to see you back Jake!
Welcome back Mate.
One a month bro, don't over do it as the videoing and editing takes forever, those of us who've done it know it! If the viewers expect one a month they'll wait and your viewing fingers will be OK!
Thanks mate! One video a month would be great I’ll try and do more than that but good to hear some people don’t mind a good video or two a month because you’re right it Definitely does take up a lot of time!
Good stuff mate.
Jake my friend, you are having too much fun though it looks like work 🤔🤠
Fun and work should always go in the same sentence I reckon!
Good to see you hard at it..
Hey Jake ,good to see you back,bit of a bugga about the safety conscious people🤬but anyway just got to do what you have too to get the job done ,thanks for sharing 💪👍
All good mate there’s always someone, at the end of the day I did 8 weeks straight with no accidents or injury’s,(except a jammed finger). If I did everything by the book a job like this would never get finished!
Cheers
I've been hanging out for a new video 🤙
That little thing was for a g.o
Explore the ground around a site for mining.
Go anwhere. A keeper. 👍
City people no idea. God bless my friend 🧡 miss ya
Never seen that 8x8 before! What a neat cart! Hope ya revive. The Atkinson hook truck is def a wild one! Dunno what kind o guy would wanna run that w double walking beam fer sure! Dig yer channel and yer whole hustle! Glad I found yer channel n cheers from Santa Cruz California!
Thanks mate! Those two I agree are great projects that I will spend some time on. I have no idea that either never had to drive it themselves or were more hardcore than me😂
Thanks for the support mate cheers
Love your DOG
that wreaking ball. in the u.s.a its worth 2500 to 3600
Unfortunately there are so many Karen’s out there these days jake you can’t get away with anything
Might have to edit a bit more than you think
Good to see you back 👍👍
Ah well I don’t want to edit too much out as I think a lot of people enjoy the real world stuff but I’ll try to keep it interesting without getting in trouble!
Gday Jake, bloody good to see ya back, you’s have certainly been busy, shame to see the lathes and mills left out in the weather, that walking beam setup would be a rough as hessian undies, take care mate
Hey Matty! Yes a real shame, even worse I found a couple of boring heads like you’re building at the moment, but they were in a shipping container that had a rust hole in the roof and condensation have rusted them and everything else really badly!😢
@@dieseldownunder. can they be saved?
@@MattysWorkshop I think they will clean up with abit of effort just a shame because they were new! I’ll send some pics to you when I walk past them next!
@@dieseldownunder. no worries, thanks mate
You should try taking acid, it'll fix up that crane windshield quick smart.
Would like to see that Atkinson restored
If I didn’t have so many trucks already in the line up to be restored I wouldn’t think twice about it!
Good ta see ya back Jake
That looked like an old Bridgeport mill machine on top of one of the containers. Getting hard to find them.
As he said thou she soo far gone to do anything with
Good eye mate it sure was, it has two heads on it. I saved it and it’s back at the yard I couldn’t scrap it so someone might be able to save it if it’s not too far gone
In the Atkinson are the Gauges VDO or Smiths if they are Smiths then this truck was Build-ed by Atkinson if they are VDO it was build-ed by International/Harvester , I was working their when Elvis died 1977 I think ( I was customizing new Trucks ,)
Has IH on the chassis plate
Good to know I’ll have to check it out, although like mentioned it has IH on the grill
Mate, Big project. I looked hard and couldn’t see why any one would have reported you to WHS, I think it was the lack of a shiny new high vis shirt, gloves on nor clamped to your belt as a safety fashion accessory, eye or hearing protection. Every thing else looked fine. In all seriousness a couple of good comments from the Craney’s who took the time to give you sound advice (albeit easier said than done in the heat of battle) vs the F@%ckwits that just went straight to Dan Andrews mode. Good to see you having a red hot go and well done. Thanks for taking the time to share 👍PS next time get a couple of the snakes in the vid for our American friends they just love them, or maybe that was another breach with Parks and Wildlife, munted ones upset them no end 😂
Hahaha thanks mate I like having a crack if I worried about every little danger we wouldn’t get anything done, but that’s why it was only the 3 of us on the job we all know where to stay out of trouble (most of the time) and yes I wouldn’t make a crane driver so I do take the advice from actual craneys on board
I try to stay away from the snakes they are more dangerous than the crane I reckon😂 I reckon I’d have people looking for me if I damaged any of the snakes haha
Cheers mate
He’s back!!
Wow a treasure land haha
So no holes available for a snatch block?
Bloody hell Stuart keen standing next to that winch rope .hate ta see it brake YO
This problem solving without a meltdown should be shown in schools
Brilliant 👌 👏 👌
#MHLivingHistoryLeapyear2024
Curious to know why you would've drove the float out of harms way.Earlier.
Ya you gotta fix the Atkins cabover twin steer that truck is cool AF
Thanks mate it would make a great project! I’ll see how things pan out
Be care old school duel steer. Deaf wobble 80 km .
If using this fram or sterring. Needs extra support. Done it and was 😨 scary
Love your posts mate, but on a lighter note would you have any idea where i could get a workshop manual for a Perkins 1004.4 engine. I have contacted everywhere i know of but no one gets back to me.
I live in country Vic up near Horsham if that helps.
Thanks mate! I have a whole stack of manuals I have to go through, literally hundreads do you have an email address I could contact you on incase I find one? If you’d like to send me an email mine is info@dieseldownunder.net
Hi from France, maaate,long time no see,great to see you again..
Hey mate good to see you here! I hope you know you’ve claimed the title for my longest standing French viewer 😂
Cheers mate
WOW !!,i'm flattered.
I was born in Melbourne, grew- up in Broadmedows from French parents, i've got the two nationalities like alot of people in Australia. I just really like your chanel, pretty incredible really the stuff you do.That roll your sleeves-up and get the job done doesn't really exist over here,it's pretty refreshing to see.Dunno it's that nothing seems too big a problem to overcome that keeps me watching.Have a great day.
Skitch. Come wa Australia 🇦🇺. Aboriginal community . I understand and lol. God bless 👍
good video old mate
i you going to try to get that Atkins fired up ?
I’m not sure if this engine will ever run again as it’s been open to the elements for 15+ years but I have a 6v92 I could drop in to get it running so it wouldn’t be a huge deal to get it driving again I don’t think
A feed of Lamb Cops around 45.15 foe anyone who is hungry😊😊😊
The amount of times we chased those sheep around I could have quite easily turned them into chops lol
Glad you’re back. Shame how people that have a go always seem to be reported by armchair wingers
Money for jam
Correct miss ya mate. )
If ur say an "xtreme hobbiest" and not a company can worksafe still get involved?
Nope can’t do anything if there’s no employees and it’s all voluntary work😉👌🏻
Hey mate, did you say be the old yellow and green mower?
Hey mate which one was that? The 3 wheeled hustler?
@@dieseldownunder. yes that’s the one
Chops
That truck driver was just asking to lose a leg. 🙄
He likes to live on the edge it’s just him😂
OSHA, I can see why
Only way to get things done mate too many people these days don’t achieve anything because they worry about any little danger, you’ve got more chance having a crash driving to work
Fck me. I’m a cranie and watching you lift that container was painful. From the angle of the chains, to two blocking the winch, you fellas don’t realise how close you came to having a real bad day. Front walking beam on twin steers were common on big off-road stuff like drill rigs and big cranes years and construction machines like,concrete mixers in America. Although I haven’t seen it on any road trucks in Australia.Good chance the Atkinson was originally single steer with a backyard conversion.
Twin steer co Atkinson's, Road Commanders,KW140 Series among various others were very common here in Australia!
I understand if cranes are your job it’s pretty sketchy, but like I said a couple of times now I used it every day for 8 weeks and there was some questionable lifts and rigging setups but no mishaps or accidents, the container was one of the worst as we didn’t have long enough chains and one of the stabiliser legs has a blown hose. There is no employees so at the end of the day it’s only putting myself in danger. But I do agree with you that I could learn more about the setups and do’s and dont’s.
Cheers
@@dieseldownunder. the first thing you must learn is how to read the load chart. Is there one in the cab? With that container lift, apart from the chains being to short, you would have been a lot better of extending the boom a lot more and having the boom at a greater angle. You were close enough you could have had the boom up to about 60 degrees and it would have a lot more capacity. Also it is not advised to telescope the boom in and out under load. And watch the hook doesn’t hit the underside of the boom when winching up. It doesn’t take a lot to either bend the boom backwards or snap the winch rope. Hit me up if you want a few tips, but that load chart is important. If you haven’t got one, I van probably find one for you.
Yeah I agree also lift and shift stuff and farm in my spare time a bit of arse pucker watching this, a dogging corse might seem expensive but so is a broken dieseldownunder , shit has to be done but the aftermath of sketchy is no joke, best not show mum this 🫣kittens will be had ! And buy no loto tickets for a bit I reckon your luck has been used . All the best for next week
Pretty reckless sling angle on that sea container lift. Not surprised someone called worksafe on you if this is what you're uploading.
I can give you all the excuses of why but it happened. I’d understand if I had workers all around but I’m the one on the ground and the only one at risk which I was well clear of it most of the time anyway. If it was full I wouldn’t have done it like that but it would be 4-5T at best, maybe Worksafe can use it as a tutorial of what not to do👍🏻😂
You Bought (past of buy) bought a junk yard. Brought is past of bring.
Should have paid more attention at school🤦🏻♂️
Would be a lot easier to unload if you didnt havd those god awful ramps on the trailer.
The ramps Definitly come in handy when loading machines I must admit, very different to trailers in the USA but I do like American trailers they have their place!
You mean you 'bought' something, not BROUGHT 😮
You are correct, I could have listened better at school 😂
@@dieseldownunder. You're a good sport. Classy handling of a criticism. I admire that. Subbed.
usally what happens sad private yards getting hard and harder hide stuff to many nosey people now days want sale this want sale that
gets old plus lot us just want work on are junk in peace skills and abilitys say this that man had a eye detail now days people like it all shine
well it was when new just dont see the what could or should be my guess but i do know few tracks are good inovation newer models point is reason is usally cheaper now always to make it build it then buy it right so lot ranches or outpost had get haul gold days old diamond oil etc after 1945-1975 ww2-nam you had men not boys men doing work for reason lot stuff not safety but did the job nothing like water well or hut nice bit grass and trees had find ways make it happen
Good to see you back. I have UNSUBCRIBED from your Chanel. If you want people to subscribe you need to post if not than plz go on with your life and STOP posting...
Haha righto Roy thanks for your wise words sorry my RUclips posting schedule doesn’t live up to your expectations. Maybe you could pay all my bills and then I could make some more free RUclips videos for you to watch?
@@dieseldownunder.well said
My big A chassis number is H00010
Also has an extra 1-2’ to the bunk so three bum wide and two bum high 😝😝😝
