Mom and Dad lived there back in the 70's and 80's Dad was a mechanic at Cortez Gold mom worked at the Flame bar for years, I worked at Cortez for about six months then joined the Elko Fire Dept. in 74
Cool buy, good luck with it. FYI, direct injection just refers to it not having prechambers aka indirect injection, that was more common back then. It injects directly in to the cylinder, like most modern diesels. All diesels are compression ignition and some use glow plugs to aid in cold starting, not for full time ignition. I am not completely familiar with that exact engine, but it still could have glow plugs for cold starting assistance. Good to see you keeping the Cat on the road!
I've been a fan of Andrew Camarata for years, and the YT algorithm brought me to your channel. Really glad to have found you and subscribed! The walk throughs of large equipment is always cool to see, I'll always watch those videos.
I think the tank is listed at 12000 gallons of water. Doing simple math that equals out to 96000 pounds. Last oversized load I moved was a 16 foot wide water tank for a coal mine in West Virginia. 😮😊
take the pressure washer to the inside of that "88" doesn't hurt them but it sure will knock all that grime off it. Brings back memory's of good ole Hughes and Dodd out of Medford. worked for them for a few years, old stuff but the mechanic was a whiz at keeping that stuff running, worked a stockpile job for the county and it was a very short run, about 50+ loads a day from the crusher to the stockpile. if I remember right it was 2" minus, maybe 3/4. so long ago. Great walk down memory lane. Thanks
Have used a 773. Good little truck used to do a 12 km ( 8 mile) haul road in one tank in 5th gear all sprays on. The company I worked for had a 769 and a 777 as well. The 777 was obscene with the amount of water it hauled. The remote monitor ( cannon) is generally used to wet down ore piles been moved or for scaling rock off walls but I have fought fire with one.The hose on the back would normally be used to wash down equipment.
@11:09 ... Steer cylinders have their own oil tank up the top near the air cleaners. Struts are not connected to anything, they are oiled then charged with nitrogen then sealed. Hydraulics run your hoist cylinder if the water cart has it (some have one, some have none), TC oil is hydraulic oil except when you get into 793's it shares Tranny oil instead because there is no tranny oil section in the hydraulic tank because they needed more hyd oil for bigger hoist cylinders, so the TC sump becomes tranny oil in a 793. Your hoist pump may run a hydraulic motor which runs the water pump at the very back in this application. Otherwise yes, the only other use for hydraulic oil in this application is brake application, park brake release and brake cooling oil. Oh, that hydraulic oil is used to turn those blue and grey valves on for each sprayer and the front cannon, and controlling the direction of the cannon obviously. I'm one of *those* guys correcting in the comments, I feel like a baby boomer.. Lmao.
Good info. (my new here) This "Iron king inc" guy calls himself a mechanic. To me he seems more like the guy who runs the business. It´s okay, everyone can not do everything. Just no need to say things you don´t know. He´s got people to do the jobs. And hes got a real 988. I always wanted to drive one of those. Not far from my house we have the AITIK mine. Lot of big yellow toys in that pit. They just do not hire people with bad health.
Yup, the steering comment got my attention. I ran a 773B fuel/lube truck for a while, as well as a Frankenstein 773B that had a 773F cab and front end installed. I now work on 789 water trucks and 793B/Cs. 793Bs have a divided hydraulic/transmission tank, we have issues with seals going out as corporate decided to stop buying 10W oil. Both systems now get filled with 30W, system pressure is higher, seals blow out, and oil transfers into the tranny tank from the hydraulics. I know our 769Cs had separate dry disk front brakes, but don't remember if the 773B has the same system. Their use was prohibited as their cooling was insufficient and they'd overheat if used on the long ramps at that mine. One operator didn't notice that her cross shift had left the front brakes engaged for some reason, and ended up setting them on fire. Fortunately the fire suppression worked as advertised.
This is good buys this will pays by himself.make sure you keep good shape and client look after lots this truck in fort mcmurray oilsand around.thanks video. .
The original 773 was a 50 ton capacity dump truck. I think it has been increased to ????. The front cylinders are nitrogen filled over oil "shock and steering strut. They were and are built in Decatur, IL. i the assembly supervisor for the 769 and 773 trucks for 2 yrs from 1997-1999. There were 19 people involved in the assembly. After that they moved via remote shuttles to the pressure check area.
Great piece of equip. How far down did they have to tear it to ship? Does that cab tilt if you have to remove major assemblies off the engine. Thanks, Bill
Nice machines. No idea on the ratings hauled a 777 from Alberta to New York. But what I want to see is the Toyota 1pz diesel. Or if you have a spare 1hz diesel
I ran a 773 c a 773 d and a 773 f the f had scales in it I was home in about 50 metric ton out of a limestone quarry so about 55 imperial ton that was blasted Rock
How much does something like that in that condition? Just ball park? Can people stop by and see your shop? I can get a load out there when I get my good truck
Rope shovels are a specialty thing. They're all electric and use wire rope in lieu of hydraulics. All the surface mines I've worked at have a separate department for shovel maintenance.

Thumbs up, make the water truck move again, great fire wagon, enjoy all your videos

Same story. Love emphasis on heavy/ equipment.

Oh yes the legendary Andrew Camarata ....he's certainly got allot of kit !!! Keep up the good work !!!

I looked into your website. Was surprised to learn that you are based in Prineville OR. I grew up in Madras

They have 789C water trucks where I work lol
See over spray, ray did the paint job. He even painted the hose at the back. 😂😂
Idk who you are, random video, but I like you, my dude! Be safe brother! 👊
Ran a 988B for JC Compton back in the day. I think they are called Mainline paving now but...
Back when I first started operating I used to operate a 834B rubber tire dozer and hearing that 988 running brought back memories.
Nothing quite like a 3408 thumping along
Wow. Quite a beast! Love these videos.
Love your videos heavy equipment mechanic you guys are awesome and do great work thanks for everything
Now you can start filling swimming pools
Pretty cool. Thanks for the video
Your front loader looks like a tonka toy compared to the 773. You have great videos. I look forward to them all😅
Wow that’s a big water truck. Good job thank you 😊
I was expecting a steering wheel in loader tractor.
First time seeing that size water tank, gosh mega huge!!
Great Video love it 👍👍

Stopped many many times at that MCD over the years!

Now thats a TRUCK! Can’t wait to see it in a Costco parking lot!🤪
I watch Andrew Camarata and I guess YT pushed your video into my feed. Cool video.
Good video
The 988g is what they loaded at the quarry with single boom just had a lot higher reach

More video's please😊

Bro revived payload and made him your own dump truck 💀
How is the truck coming along? I would like to see what it is capable of - how much / how far it can spray.
Everyone is making relevant comments, I'm gonna go with Quinten eats like a trucker...
Also, you said you had pickup flatbed that were take offs....
Just curious, if a dump bed came available for it would you buy it so that you had the option to rent it as a water truck or a hall truck? Tia
A3 dressed up as a 9 before.
How much does something like that in that condition? Just ball park? Can people stop by and see your shop? I can get a load out there when I get my good truck
Bringing back another jeep?? Maybe. And not a single axle Jeep or tridem axle. The 4 wheel drive type
These are also made in Decatur Illinois
Who would you rent this to from Prineville OR?
They painted the water hose?
What about the big shovels in the mines? Is that more of a specialty machine or do your guys work on those too?
Rope shovels are a specialty thing. They're all electric and use wire rope in lieu of hydraulics. All the surface mines I've worked at have a separate department for shovel maintenance.
@@Porty1119 makes since. I work around big farm equipment so I find the mining industries equipment pretty fascinating!
Don't you mean you will have someone do the work?
I worked on a strip mines i fuel all the rock trucks up 777 773
They are great trucks!
Yea there are a beast
dude, the lower bracket on ur alternator is broke
Just found you, subscribed at "Mc Diddies" lol, had me rolling!
Your the new parker for our heavy equipment enjoyment.
