Garmin has a gopro look alike so pose to be way way better than a gopro brand is just here say idk
She's going to be ok guys I do believe,a few grimlans to work out and you'll be golden,good job capin 😜
i say big 👍to the guy's at c&c for drop off this machine for the captain and all help over the phone. it go to show how important customer service is to keeping a business open
@C&C Equipment.. Thanks for helping out our favorite Captain.. Watch and enjoy your channel as well.
Captain. Your wife knows you are a renaissance Man. Great husband, father, fireman, cdl driver, operator, carpenter, mechanic, boat builder, bridge builder, pond builder, etc. you have a very humble self confidence, so I loved your speech to the unhappy group of people that live in their sad, negative world. Don’t lose your sense of humor, btw, great accomplishment on the Triple Nickel
💪
I think the only thing you forgot on the list was utility vehicle engineer. He can do that too.
@@CaptainKleeman. I'm not in that group. I only asked a question because I am ignorant on "Audio-Visual" synchronisation. You know the way I operate Mike. Never negative, (That's something on a battery terminal. I think).
A lot of men could do these things if they would get up off their ass and try. What I like about Cap. is he is not scared to try. Look at all the repairs he does for DP. You learn by doing not sitting on your a-
Congrats on getting the ole girl running. Shows with some time, effort, patience you can do anything. Great job captain! I’m not sure why people get so upset over the audio, Al you gotta do is just ignore it! Keep up the great content!!
And all this time I thought it was me, Cap’n! Us loyal subscribers think who you are and what you do is GENIUS. (And thrilled we share the same taste/colour scheme in Crocs - although I’m rarely in a situation requiring the “locked in” capability). Keep on being you and doin’ what you’re doin’… it’s much appreciated.
Thanks Scott
A 74 yr old who very much enjoys your content and humour. Keep it up!
Never doubted for a moment that you'd get it going. Well done, so pleased for you Mike!
Thanks David
I don't know who was happier when it chugged to life, me or you! I'm guessing you were relieved and thrilled at the same time. Looking like a shiny new penny! Thanks Clint! Great video Captain!
Captian, don't let the negative posters spoil your outlook on your projects. You are doing things within your budget and not going into debt. Stay the course.
I dig your patient and happy-going demeanour.
Crouching fireman hidden talents. Love this kung Fu movie. Lol God bless
Lol
You seem a bit jaded by the haters. Chin up mate ignore them they have never done anything constructive in their life. What you are doing and have achieved for your family and community is awesome. Love the video.
I'm super excited for you, Mike, that the triple nickel started, drove and backhoe works!
I enjoy your videos so much I watch them 2 or 3 time's
Great job Captain, I have a Ford 550 tlb with 2500 original hrs. on her . I think you mentioned that she has a manifold heater ,once you get your wiring fixed and the manifold heater working she will start allot easier. Your machine turns over slow just like mine. My 550 is a 1976 and I have had it since 1982 and it has always turned over slow even with a new battery, but with the manifold heater and block heater, she starts fine even when its in the single numbers.
Well done, great job you must be happy. Hope to see it at work soon.
You are the most dedicated individual I have ever seen. Great approach to fixing things in clasic back yard mechanic and jack of all trades. Keep up he good work brother.
Good Job, the dramatic suspense “will it, won’t it” is killing me! 😂😂. Nice to see the safety crocs being used properly 😀🇬🇧👋
Have to keep ya in suspense
Great job getting the triple nickel running!!! She sounds good and after the wash, she looks really really good. You gonna have some serious fun in the woods with it.
That is going to make a nice backhoe for you. Good video.
Thanks mike
We don't care if your videos aren't perfect that's why we like to watch them, I don't like how so many you tubers are waiting until they have a perfectly polished video before putting it on. By the way I can never get enough of the great view of the river.
I don’t care about the sound being off by a half second! I’m interested in the old equipment you are fixing up!!
Bump the na sayers 😂. I am here to stay😊. Great work and Tenacity 👍
I knew you wouldn't quit and would get it running.
Clint is the man, who brought this over here for you.
I've got to admit it, I never thought that machine would ever run again! Great job, and you keep saying you're not a mechanic!
Mike it looks good from here it's a pleasure watching
It's alive! Swiss army knife for the farm. Not the best tool for any one thing, but a good tool for everything. Was somewhat surprised the hydraulics worked, period. Minor hose leak. Nothing major, easily repaired. Seems to run fine despite being a bit cold blooded. Good job Cap'n!
Definitely excited
Surely we didn't see the actual first start? If so, I would have expected to see You jump down from that cab hooting hollering and dancing with joy. Congratulations!!!
Don't pay attention to the negatives. Your channel and content is great. I can 100% relate to your mindset. I recently picked up a Bobcat S300 having set for 5-6 years. Knew some things it needed, found a lot more . What I couldn't find out by asking, I figured out. Learned a lot. Now I'm using it . Great feeling of accomplishment to get something going others let go. Keep up the good work.👍
Make due with what you got. Necessity is the mother of invention. There is no foul in creative engineering. :)
Sound synch is not a problem, we’re here for the content and enjoy everything you are trying to do!
Captain, this backhoe is some if your most enjoyable content ever from my viewpoint. It's exactly how I would ever get one. I love your humor and determination, although you may have been a little more expressive off camera.🤯 Congratulations on getting the old girl going!👍
Thanks mike
bravo captn K well done! she runs she drives she stops bravo sir!
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
yes she is alive again.
and lively and kicking too .
everything seems to work well luckily the different gears
as well as the loader and the backhoo seem to come to life so nice work Mike .
thanks for the video Mike .
Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
Congratulations on getting the 555 running 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Pretty lucky to have NO oil coming trough piston rings after seeing those bores. However I had no doubt it would still run decently. Even if it starts to sip some oil, just keep adding and keep running it.
it's Alive! Oh wait - Clint already said that - lol. And that river view is outstanding.
Mike, I love your channel, I never got why people complain, what did they think it was? It's " REAL " Reality. It's backyard mechanics at its finest. You've got a great attitude. Don't let them get you down, see you at the Big One Brother
Couple things; I found myself reaching up to try and hold the muffler for you (was still working on my 1st cup). And the complainers are the same people who buy cheap toilet paper and wonder why they get stink fingers! Great content, keep it up!
😂😂
Congratulations, Mike! Your wife and children must be proud as punch to see the things you accomplish.
Many thanks to Clinton at C&C Equipment. Their generosity is making a huge difference for your homestead. That tractor looked spectacular when you put the hood on to measure the exhaust piping. I'm excited to see what it looks like when you have it all together and working on a job.
Can't believe it Captain. Had a choice of this or Mustie1 to watch first and you won.
Couldn't wait to see the Ho working...... Congratulations on getting it running.
Woo hoo! She's a runner. She may not be the Belle of the ball and new but, I bet she'll get the job done.
Love the style and content. Working on a budget - no problem - I actually admire it. Yes, I do watch the You Tubers that seem to have no issue with money and enjoy them too - but for all of us that live in reality, your channel is awesome - keep 'em coming. Faithful subscriber, Dennis
Appreciate the feedback Dennis
She's ALIVE! Great job there Mike. I think you have a big voltage drop between the battery and the starter. Which could explain the slow cranking speed. I think going through the wiring for your next stage is the right direction. Keep up the great work and thank you very much for sharing.
I think you found a diamond in the ruff that tractor is going to be soooooo handy
It’s alive hope it turns out to be a good machine you never know it could work for many years without much trouble
We all had faith in you to be able to get it running , great job Mike its been a pleasurefull trip riding along on this one.
Captain great video! As for the people that give you bs about your content they don’t have an idea what you’re about! Your family is always First, you have the guts to take on anything that comes your way! I’ve been watching you for quite a while and I always look forward to your next project! Thank you very much for being who you are! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks Kevin
Great job on the backhoe. Love your channel.
Happy to see you get the old girl fired up... excellent!
Very happy you got the backhoe running. I'm sure you have it up to tip top shape in no time 👍
Hey Cap'n - greetings from London, England. I'm a long-time subscriber but have not commented so far. However, the joy I felt when you finally got the TripleNickel to fire up and run just made me want to send you my congratulations and praise for a job well-done. I truly admire the way you worked steadily through all the issues, fixing them one at a time (and sometimes twice), to get to where you are now. And, as you said, once you start using it, other issues may come along and you'll deal with those too. What a huge benefit the TN will be to you all around your property on 1001 jobs and projects, so all your patient hard work (and hard-earned cash spent) will be well worth it and soon repaid. Good job all round!!
Thanks!
she comes to life. One mans garbage is another mans gold , just need to polish a little. Go progress.
Awesome moment! It is Alive! Almost like the little train that could! You did it! All the hard work and frustration of learning, paid off. Just the little details are left, (well some maybe not so little, but I have faith in you! More fun times ahead, I'm sure. Love your attitude towards the naysayers, they are not worthy of your valuable time and effort.
Very impressive Capn. I love it how you’re willing to tackle anything even if you’ve never done it before. Even if your ways aren’t “by the book” they’re actually more practical for us DIY’ers. Sometimes watching the actual pros makes things look unattainable. Congratulations on getting it running. Good stuff.
Good stuff, never doubted you for a second, having a piece of equipment like that is awesome
Captain I will watch ur video anytime
Keep them coming
THUMBS UP ON THE BACKHOE RE DO, MOST OF US CANT GO BUY NEW, HOPE ITS A BIG HAND ON THE PLACE, AFTER SEEIN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH A MINI TRACTOR AND A CHAINSAW, I WISH YOU MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS
Thanks Clint, Kevin too, at C&C Equipment. 👍 for helping the KleeDawg 😉😉
Working out a few bugs 🐛 🐛 🤗Mmmm love 😍 that 555 just a smidge more than the RUclips Yacht but it's right up there too.😁👍
Thanks bud
@@C_CEQUIPMENT hi Clint, can you provide a better exhaust to the poor kap'tain, I don't know were he find that big and ugly one, but he will not see the trees in front of him with that! 😁😁
I’ve been watching you through the whole ordeal. Mr, you’ve got patience!!! When that engine fired I sat in my chair cheering you on. Great job captain! and thank you Clint , @ C & C equipment.
Thanks John!
Congratulations I got her running great video on cold start that ain't run in decades 💯💯💯💯😁💯💯
She's a runner Clark😂👏🏻👏🏻
It's alive. Congratulations Captain. God bless
She is starting to look good with her power wash !!
You tell them take it or leave it 👍perfect
Congratulations on getting her to run.
"Oh my gosh, you can actually see out of the windows now" lol
Great job so far, can't wait to see it in the yacht build videos. Congrats on the success!
Man, can’t wait to see that first scoop of dirt! Sounds good when it’s running and that oil cleaned up good once the rings seated. I’d second replacing hoses as needed. We had an old backhoe and did the entire rear stick. Over $1,200 in hoses 6 years ago. I may venture in and see if swapping hoses could get you to the operating pattern you want.
It's alive....... its alive !!!! 😃
She cleaned up champion, the algae served as a barrier to stop the paint fade but not the rust !!
And there is nothing quite like the scent of diesel engine coughing into life.... 😉
Well apart from acetone thinners !!!
Your paint stand was really fancy, reckon there will be some envious watchers out there, me included 😠🤣
Good to see your door security mechanism worked a treat, had you puzzled for a short while..... 😂🤦♂️
Oh, and the cliffhanger of the wiring problem 🤯
Of course, you do have the 755 back up dozer 💪💪💪
Good Job! Glad to see you got it running. Don't let all the haters bother you. Just Delete and Block, thats pretty easy to do lol! Everybody has to start somewhere. We can't all go out and buy brand new stuff!
Congratulations! She runs!!! And the bath you gave her is just great. I always knew there was paint underneath her. Great, great job, Mike!
Well done, thank you for the update on this backhoe, Mark from Australia! 😀
Capt, ya don't need the ' 'negative nellies'🤦 Just keep doin what yer doin👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺
The backhoe project has run plse may get another one... i love it!
Great Job. Love the can do attitude, way to roll with the punches. I am really enjoying your content. Keep it up.
Thank you
Congratulations Captain! Really enjoying this series. I love your happy go lucky attitude. I would have been throwing parts and tools by now. 😉
The 555 looks so much better when it is clean.
You must have wanted to jump up and down like a kid with a new toy when that ole girl fired up! So happy for you Mike! Seriously.. for guy just diving in and trying his best you did a fantastic job on that machine! Congrats!
I've been following this one religiously, and I'm super excited that you got this old backhoe running again! Congratulations, Mike. Looking forward to seeing you putting it to work!
Hey capt just wanted to make a suggestion once you put the flapper on the exhaust if your gonna let it sit for awhile I would put a can over it for added protection from the wind and rain that could hang the flapper open you know the rest of the story. Take care hope yall have a happy and safe holidays.
Hi Mike from florida " so sorry there are people that want to drag everyone down the rabbit hole.
But please don't let them.Your channel is fun , entertaining,
and REAL.Thank you for putting a smile on my face.Your family is Beautiful and every so often we must circle the wagons for comfort.
Thank you for sharing, One day you will get there, so keep on doing
I expected you to do the happy dance once she fired over. Great job on the rebuild.
Thanks David
BTW the heck with the complainers. Those that can do do those that cannot do complain.
It's good to see another old machine saved. I was wondering how you would get on fixing the engine but you have people to ask for advice and you succeeded, It seems to run like a clock, well done. The next thing to decide is whether or not to remove the rust. Doing panel work won't make it go any better so it is what you and your budget want. Like me you have limited funds for these projects and we have to choose were we put our money. I hope it gives you years of good service,
so happy you addressed that crowd, the American way is if can't weld it it could be done, excellent machine and big thanks to C&C for helping you with that backhoe
Well said brother some of the junk I use should be in the scrap yard .
Still plenty of work to go, but we have a heartbeat! Grats on the progress in bringing this beast back to life
Good job Capt. Glad you got a tractor to make things go better for you. Thanks to Client for having a heart to get you something to help you.
I like the video's of a hard working man and the challenge's through day to day. Also I watch C&C Equipment with top video's and seeing their works on big machinery.
Be Blessed and looking forward to see the backhoe in action. :)
Think my smile was bigger than yours when it started. 👍
I think this rebuild of the Ford back hole was fun to watch! Keep up the great videos and good attitude. 👍👍
Congratulations on the first start after a rebuild, it is a great feeling. I'm happy to see that your using the safety straps on your shop crocs.
Damned impressive Mike. Guess I know who they will call IF one of the fire trucks ever needs repair .Also I've never seen a ground mounted vice before very cool !
Watched 20 min of first vid and Subscribed, those of you who don’t, quit breathing my air
😂😂 appreciate the support!
Captain, stay the course! No matter how hard you try, you'll always have the complainers! They have nothing better to do!
Great to see the progress, you missed a spot when pressure washing but no worries, it matches everything else in your yard:) Great content, I look forward to your vid's every week. Clint is a class act and watch his channel religiously every week also.😉
i'm really happy for you and your great progress.....with all your projects!!! when the 555 started up, i wanted to do a happy dance, but then again.....i didn't want to hurt myself!!!
I was really happy to witness your success Mike. Don't waste your time or energy in the nit picking "Karens".
CONGRADULATIONS Captain, you have your self a backhoe and this machine will provide you with s wide varity of "tinkering experiance" for ever. Next step wash the windows!
Great job, love your videos. I knew you would get it running, I like that you never give up !
Keep up the hard work. Proud of ya man!
Thanks Ben!
Hi there and you said that you work with junk cos that is all the budget is. Well Mike I feel that that 555 might have looked and smelt like junk a few weeks ago, but with your blood sweat and tears later it is turning out to be a good-looking handy piece of useful junk un-junk. That I am sure will serve you well for a number of years to come. Yep, this has been a learning curve, but you have a far better understanding of the inside workings of this piece of 'yellow iron'. The pressure washing has turned out almost as good as Kevin turns out for Clint. If the controls are back to front to what is comfortable to you, then maybe change the pipework around on each lever that you feel is opposite to your way of operation. But that 555 is a long way away from being a piece of junk now.
Having fun watching the transformation of this project. Like all you do keeps a smile on my face Ignore those that only complain as they are jealous of what you have and just like to find fault with anything and everything, sad people or what. Anyhow, keep doing what you do, keep safe. Regards to family and will send you an e-mail soon to touch base so to speak.
Dude!! We’re so dang tickled for you, That’s awesome! I LOL’d when you mentioned kung fu movies, that’s perfect. You be you! We don’t watch you for the sound, we watch cuz we like you and what you do, you and your family are such good people. Also, shout out to the wife, the farm stand is freakin adorable! I love it!! ❤
