I think there are 2 things you could do with it.
1. Fix it up to where it’s useable
2. Buy an attacher like pallet forks and make longer forks that can pick up things like tractors
Yeah what a great idea , put it outside of the shop as a
Tourist attraction , l'm sure
some kids would love it
You have got it going that is
Fantastic .....pump up the rear
tyre/ tire lift up yer skirt & off
you go 😳😨😱😱😱😱😱😀
Keep that loader! She’s huge! Take it back to the shop and give it some TLC! Can be used around your shop and you could take that on tour! Glad to see snowman out and about! This could be a restoration project for you! Keep that thing! They are hard to come by!!!!
They're all over the place lol
@@jeffrunyan5065 I was referring to the Kawasaki name on the loader.
It isn’t huge it’s only a small loader.
@@michaelwalsh9145 Yeah, just like a bobcat.
@@2015_Rubicnn you’ve never driven many loaders then.
I cannot believe it started that easily after sitting 18 years!!!!! That was incredible it started that easily after sitting 18 years! You should definitely buy it Bruce! Give blue collar 2.0 something a little bit more heavy to haul!
I had a bmw sat for 2 yes waited to start it on a nice warm day 60 degrees fired right up I'm bout to drive it this summer
@@robertmarley8852 A bmw starting after sitting for ANY period of time is a feat in itself
Take it home its worth having
thats why i smell bullshit about this....how even the tires are new with no cracks no tons of rust and nature didnt take over it
@@robertmarley8852 you better watch your back then, probably used up all your luck for a wile with that one lol.
Whenever you are looking at a used ANYTHING which needs work. NEVER let on to the seller what you think the problem is, ESPECIALLY if it is an easy fix and NEVER whip out your leatherman or whatever & fix it on the spot. CASE IN POINT- 2 mechanics went to look at an old excavator a farmer had which had broken down & left park where it broke some years earlier. The Guys looked it over & concluded they knew exactly what it need. They jumped in their truck and went to town and picked up some parts and fluids & returned and set to work. In a couple of hours they had it running so they drove it about & tested all the systems and were satisfied this was a good deal. So they told the farmer they would take it & the farmer says “ Well, boys, OK, but it going to cost you twice what I first asked” The guys were pissed. The farmer said “ That price was for an ex that did not run” The guys protested that they made it run & they paid for the parts. The farmer said “Don’t care. The ex is now a running machine & I want twice” The guys were pissed but had put over $500 into it. So they paid his price grumbling all the way and drove away with their new prize but not so good a deal.
!
I know if I were those guys, I'd have gone and left it how I found it. Fuck that farmer.
They should have pulled all the parts off and walked away....
@@AffordBindEquipment and dumped all the fluids too
I think I seen that video. I only seen first part. Wondering why they put so much time and money into machine they were just looking at buying. Not surprised owner hiked up price once he knew it ran
Fair enough. His price was not running. They buy it at that price taking the risk. They get it running, it now is more valuable to any buyer. They still hadn't bought it. I can see both sides, but they got it running so they wouldn't risk their money on something with a thrown rod etc. They buy it then get it running, it is theirs.
Man i missed these videos over the past couple years.. Been 3 years since I've been to Florida too
Thanks for the hard work, I really enjoy the will it start stuff!!
I can't wait to see more of this rig!!
Great work! Nice to see you and Aaron working together.
Love

Bruce's mom commenting on the vids. How supportive. He's been the best even before the break
@@jakemiranda2469 his dad and I will always support both him and his brother Aaron. A parents unconditional 💕
@@jenniferwilson954 ive got 4 little brothers. Trust me i get it
@@masterbates7016 thank you. We are very proud of their accomplishments and their hard work.

Mom 😘
Can you hire me I can come from Kenya to operate it. I'm plant operator
Are we going to ignore the fact that when he tried to drive it he ran over his starter button he left on the back tire. lol
You can't fault him for the enthusiasm :) - these things happen :)
Lol
looks like it might have dropped off and dangled between tire and frame...wishfully...
Warranty
@@gforce1 iukjjķķkkuķkjkķķķuķkķkk y que.rrr
Good large batteries, Good torque on the starter and quick fire up. Great job.
That would be awesome advertisement. You could pick up a tractor and park it out front. I would definitely get it if the price was right. Endless things for the company and RUclips.
That and it could be useful for heavy lifting if a truck/tractor gets stuck in a ditch or if you need to pull an engine
Pull an engine lol stupid it will pick probably 10 tons or more little overkill
@@bernlew977 it would still work
@@bernlew977 overkill is under rated
I was thinking the same thing 👍🏼👍🏼
Take her back to the shop, give it a new lease of life, some paint, tires it will be a minty video
Tires???? Those are most likely 3K to 5K EACH , if not more
@@warrenmichael918 his dad might not let him spend that much money for some tires.
@@Alex0992 LOL i guess you are trying to say he uses daddys money to buy his toys huh? Bruce works hard for what he has
@@Alex0992 broke boy?
@@Alex0992 putting your reality onto someone else?
With you standing next to the tires, I have a very good idea how large it is. Excellent video! The loader is in great shape. I'd fix it up and sell it. I worked on construction equipment and generators in the military and had a great time doing it.
Unbelievable, did not expect it to fire-up like that. You know you need to buy it!
Man the wheel loader looks gnarly keep up the great content Bruce 🤙
I like the (1 actual vice grip) battery clamps and the other vise grip knock off. The original vise grip has the thumb release that does not try and give you a blood blister when applying. Great vid man! A question how did the test light left on the tire make out.
Those Kawasaki loaders are actually good machines . I used a smaller one last week loading some topsoil. It is around a 95 to 97 model one owner . Unfortunatly it has not had the best service kept on it ever. But it has ran pretty much trouble free all this time with not many problems. The only real problems with it have been due to neglect. This could be a good buy for you.
You always have good luck with "will it starts". If you can get it for a descent price I think putting it out front for fans and customers to check out would be a great idea. Id probably fix it up somewhat and get some longer forks for it just in case you do need to use it for loading or unloading various items.
Matt from Diesel Creek would dig this machine.
Does anyone really care about that? No
Somebody has to save it 😉
@@darylball4717 then you and rampitup should contact Matt on his channel..these gentlemen put out content for themselves not for Matt.. Again I hate to tell you know one care's about both of your 5 mins of fame... You made no comment about this gentleman's video which too time to produce...
@@ytgre7767 cut your attitude & stop being a bitch cos no-one cares what you think either .What are you this guys personal spokes person 🤔 & Where's your own comment on this guys video ?glad to see this loader saved & it's too big a machine for matt.Sell or keep either way you're a winner.
@@ytgre7767 Ever hear the phrase, "Don't be a dick"?
kinda makes you wonder if that boom on the front was used to place Jersey barriers on a highway job somewhere. My first concern with a start on these things is the transmission being in neutral. I had a buddy who got run over by a tractor last year because he THOUGHT it was out of gear.... and it wasn't! Crushed his pelvis and 3 months in a wheelchair.
I was thinking the same thing but if it’s in gear the starter won’t have enough power to not only move the machine but it definitely won’t have enough power to move those flat ass tires. If it does move it he will notice that the machine moves when the starter turns over at first and the machine don’t crank up
@@parkermckowen3781 ... with an automatic or fluid drive trany you might not notice any movement while cranking, but if the engine fires up (RPM increase) you won't have time to react. At that point in the video, we didn't know there were any flat tires. That's what happened to my friend. BTW, in his case it was captured on a home security camera. He got as far as throwing up his hands and trying to lean back but the large tire already pinned his foot and was crawling up his leg. Basically, a human wheel chock. He's lucky the ground was soft, and no leg bones were broken. He's also lucky the engine stalled within a few seconds.
@@rupe53 I saw that it had flat tires, thought it pretty obvious from the get go. So no, it wasnt going to just take off unless the engine fired up at full throttle. And all these type loaders have fluid drive with a torque converter so nothing is going to happen during cranking. But of course, it's always good to be cautious and have a getaway plan in case things don't go as planned.
@@blythkd9017 ... yup, but you can't always tell what the internals of an injection pump are doing, then there's the possibility of internal oil issues and a run-away engine. They may have taken precautions off camera, but I didn't see them.
I can't believe how easy it started. Good job lads. Best of luck with it. Paddy from Ireland
Definitely keep that bad boy. I ran one of those in Oregon, handling logs for a pole yard. They are awesome.
Keep it , it may come in handy.
I’d probably buy it and fix it, it doesn’t really look like it would need a huge amount of work to get it fully working. It seems like it just needs the solenoids checked, new tires, a bucket, and some work in the cab (key and gauges). The benefits of having it working would go even beyond having it as a showpiece since you could also use it to move things or get machines unstuck
Do you have a clue what a bucket costs for a piece of equipment like that? Probably 10 thousand for a used bucket you have no clue brainless goof
Those tires are 5k apiece lol maybe more that bucket might be 5-10k as well depending on what size he wants
@@6181green true
If the trany is shot it will cost over 15000 to repair.
Yes I do think you should by it! I wanna see you fill up the air in those tires that would be neat to see! Great Will It Start video!
Enjoy watching your videos on these! Awesome talent. Bring it back and proudly display it. Like another comment, put massive forks on the front and use it to retrieve other tractors. What a story!
It can help with brand recognition. Put it at a strategic place where it stands out for all to see and identify it with your type of business.
You may have run over your test lead/light @ 13:22. Amazing Start. Air up the tires and drive it home?
Hey Bruce watching you here in Australia and I can't believe what you find sitting in a bush that machine would still be in use here in Aussie land keep them coming mate you are very entertaining I don't have to watch TV anymore I'm getting all my LAUGHS from you
Cheers Kym
Adelaide South Australia
That’s America for you. I was a bit surprised it didn’t have any parts stripped
Im 24 and one day Id love to be able to go around the country and save old machine like this! It hurts me to see big machines rotting away they are so cool!
She's a keeper, you can make a lot of money with her, even hiring her out to farmers. Its also a huge forklift. Get her home, get it done.
What would a farmer want a mass pay loader for?? Just trying to understand since i am a farmer
@@bernlew977 down in Australia I've seen these bucket loaders being used for everything, from forklifting, craning, making roads, loading feed. So many attachments you can hook on the front. I guess that with the amount of mining and quarrying the mass loaders were cheaper than a tractor. It's part of what I saw as a boy.
@@bernlew977 jave use them on a cattle lot for silage.
Been a operator for 25 years and i have never seen a piece Kawasaki construction equipment
@@floydbryant8711 I've seen a lot of these in south east Asia, indonesia @ Vietnam.
Definitely something worth putting money into.. The size comparison is mind blowing
WOW! The old thing fired right up for you! Love seeing this type of video. Thanks for doing it.
If the price is right, buy it!!! Love these “Will it start videos!”
Yeah Bruce I’d say depending on the prayers that would be awesome advertising for your shop It would look really cool out front man if you can pick it up for a good price I’d do it
RIP to the multimeter on the tire 😂😂
Was his test light, I think!
Pretty impressive that a nice front end loader would sit there almost two decades and the windows are intact, there’s no graffiti on it anywhere, the fuel hasn’t turned into jello, the tires are not only still there but are inflated, rust hasn’t completely covered it, and even the filters have their paint yet. It’s simply astounding.
Should definitely buy it and fix it up, think it would be a badass series that alota ppl would love to follow from the start with a will it start video
3:03 with how expensive those tires are it makes you wonder how catastrophic the failure was to make them abandon a brand new tire like that.
Probably at least a few thousand dollars, even 18 years ago. More than that these days.
Same in africa. A machine here in africa is abandoned once everything has really failed. And even then, it will serve as a spare part supplier for other machines
Kawasaki actually makes a damn solid loader. Ran a 80ZV for years at a concrete plant. Had 18K hours and still had tons of power. Responsive hydraulics and one of the best pile pushing loaders I’ve ever ran.
AWESOME will it start! Cant wait to see you load it on a trailer!
Heck yeah man, makes me want to go out in the woods and see if I can find something to start
My buddy ended up with one of those giving to him, his had a 2 stroke Detroit in it. Looks like they loaded coils with it.
That's cool. Never knew Kawasaki made wheel loaders. If you want a challenge find you some old Detroits haha, farm equipment maybe even!
Kawasaki loaders are bit novelty. Here in Europe they are sold under Hitachi name&colour. But only 30-50metric ton models. That 95Z is 30ton smallest version.
@@juhomaki-petaja interesting. i collect sales brochures so ill look into it
@@juhomaki-petaja hitachi? The HDD company? Them japanese and korean companies really do make everything lol
@@rojiii69420 Hitachi machinery was sold as Deere in USA. 100% made in Japan. Hitachi is huge company, main products are electronics. Construction equiptment is only small part of it. Hitachi owns Euclid(factory is in Canada) and many other brands.
@@juhomaki-petaja well damn. I was super surprised when i found out Hyundai makes ships and oil rigs and honda makes private jets now this? Crazy!!!
What a beast! I wish my old lawn tractor started that well!
It would be awesome to see you either fix them up to sell which would be a crazy profit in most cases. Or use it around the shop to pick up things.
Why would someone abandon an expensive piece of equipment that starts pretty quickly in the middle of nowhere?
A lot of times, it's something else that you just never get roun-tuit and fix it.
Master switch that he found was bad, that they never suspected. You'd be surprised how often that happens.
Insurance fraud?
I’d like to see you buy it, show fixing it up some, and then use it for content.
Dude I’m so glade your back brotha. I have missed these will it start videos. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cool video as always. I would give that thing some major love and TLC. 100% I would try and find a set of forks for it. It would come in real Handy around the shop.
One thing that I can't stress to anyone doing this enough is to always and I mean, ALWAYS check the machine to make sure that its not in a forward or reverse gear as starting any machine that you have absolutely no idea who touched it last could have been left in gear and stalled in gear without ever being restarted and could potentially get you or someone else killed very easily...
Also, if you do end up doing something like this and you end up leaving the machine, please put the hydraulic equipment back down on the ground so some kids don't come by and get themselves seriously injured or killed by messing around with it. Thank you for thinking about that and doing that, not many people would think about that unless they either have their own kids or did something like that themselves as a kid.
Also, I would not be walking under that boom being up like that being that its sat around for 18 years and the hydraulic lines to that boom have had plenty of time to sit around and rot. It doesn't take lines that old to start a leak and then have that thing fall on you.
If you're going to buy it and it runs and works, get it up to operating standards and put it to use.
The fact that started up as easy as it did and moved as easy as it did after 18 damn years of sitting is mind boggling shows they dont make stuff like they used to
Hard to believe that it started right away, after so many years! You should get it, if the price is right! 👏👏👏👏👏
Hell yes... a series on getting this back to life.
Make sure to run this by your dad before you spend his money.
Nice job on getting the baby started yes Bruce go for it bring that back to the shop be bad ass👍🏼
Look at that dinosaur come back to life 😂 lol that's awesome to see how those diesel motors keep going .
Another great video! Thanks for cranking out the content.
Pretty cool I love seeing massive machines get rescued from their grave like this
Cool video. Never thought it would light up so easily!!!
First off, jack those tires off the ground before attempting to inflate them.
It can be very dangerous to do it sitting like they are.
Before you even move it change all the filters, engine fluids and check to make sure everything is tight.
Fix it up possibly even some paint then flip it.
If you can find a bucket reasonably priced for it even better.
Right now any working construction equipment is selling top dollar at fire sale speeds.
95 are very common around here in the underground mines. They do make a 115z loader, they have a 19 liter Cummins in them. I worked on 2 of these loaders, had to pull an engine in one. Kawasaki loaders were very dependable loaders, we didn't work on them till they had a shit ton of hours on them.
Bring it man. It’s awesome with a business like your some day you will need it.
Great fun guys! Well done!
Definitely buy it, it's so awesome and to be able to move dead tractors with big forks would be so handy or vehicles if you had too,
It’s mind boggling how well built and rugged these machines are crazy how these can sit in the elements and still fire up just proves ppl wrong when they say these tractor/vehicles companies build these things to not last I love being a human lol
Just Awesome guys it’s crazy tgat something so big just started up & moved after all this time Wow!!👍👍
You guys are awesome for getting the machine going
Good to see the will it start videos back.
I've watched a ton of these type videos. Yours is one of my favorites. Get that thing up and going and see where it goes from there. I want to see it running and in use doing something.
Sensational! Sounds like the kill-switch killed the monster, you found it, to your benefit!
hi there i would guess the the front was made to lift those big cement road barriers , good job john
Awesome will it start Bruce I'm with you what ever you do buddy appreciate the videos
If it's been out there 18 years, it's pretty amazing that kids haven't vandalized it.
Get it Bruce!!! You may not use it alot but if you need it then you got it!!
Like how you threw some grass in the exhaust make it look legit 😆 🤣 😂
Would love to see this put by the store. Would be cool to see if I ever get the chance to visit Florida.
I think you should bring her to full operation and also get a bucket for it so it could be a showpiece and a functional piece of equipment at the same time
Whatever you do, keep it genuine. Love the video quality(HDR for me 😀)
Keep it man I would love to see more videos🔥🔥
I’m loving that you don’t cuss and swear! Your video presence is the best.👍
That's a medium sized loader. I can't believe how amazed you guys are with its size it's not that big its average
Came to comments looking for this.
That's a baby compared to one's I've operated.
awesome content and there are so many uses for that
It's good to see you back
If its cheap enough, I think it makes sense, even for leasing out or using it yourself. If you don't need something this big often but you do from time to time, I think its worth putting a but of money into it and just having it around
I ran a 115 Z-IV and it had a QSK Cummins around 450 horse. It'd load 18 tons of crusher run all day long. Per bucket and it was an armor plated bucket for loading shot rock.
If you can afford brother grab it that was an awesome video can’t wait to see what u do next to it!
Congratulations! A job well done.
Another awesome video keep up the awesome videos love them all
Reminds me of "dead row" at Edmonton Ritchie Brothers...watching two mechanics trying to out-bid each other for the non running machine and driving the price higher than a running unit going across the block an hour later. Special kind of people can do this and make it profitable.
You look like the type of guy that has a huge key ring. I bet one of them would have worked in a 25 + years wheel loader. great video!
That thing is a beast, deffo buy it. Damn that Florida sunshine looks so nice. Its bloody freezing and raining here in the UK. FJB.
Awesome job great video fellas!!! Much love from central Massachusetts!!!
Now that can create some excitement!!! Good job
GET IT!!!! TRY TO WORK IT OR ALWAYS CAN FLIP IT. HELL YEAH BROTHERS !!!!
This would be awesome to see actually move and transported to the shop get a proper key and engine tuned new bucket and actually working.
That thing could come in handy someday, when you need to move a big broken tractor out of the way, or you could just use it to unload your truck, pick the tractors up off the trailer, and carry them where you want them, lol
As a former aggregate employee, I got to operate a 2021 CAT 980M for months, Man that thing was big and fun to load trucks with!
Absolutely bring it back to the shop
You should use it like a billboard Mount a tractor to the boom and raise it up and set it by the road
And RIP to your hand starter and cable you forgot to take off of the tire and ran over. LOL! Great video!
Absolutely!! Wanna see 2.0 hauling it,you need that!!!
