- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2019
- After sitting for 16 years in the forest, the radiator needs a good flush out and the hydraulic oil is past its use by date, so Supercheap Auto and Gulf Western sent me some new fluids to put in the old girl and also some shiny new tools. Thanks guys, you saved me a fortune.

If Supercheap Auto and Gulf Western are watching - you rock! You now have a new customer (me). Cheers guys for your generosity.
Totally that’s amazing generosity!
@@boomish69 good on you supercheap
Nothing for the brave 🐑 and mouse? But seriously that's the way to sponsor someone livi g a real life, well done.
I don't normally like super cheap but am coming around as they seem to be very supportive of independent video creators. Good work supercheap
great marketing by them, makes me feel good about shopping there
There store loyalty card is good if goes on sale within 2 weeks you get a store credit fo the difference to spend in store
@@agatemaster1998 thanks for the info
I have received a lot of store credits it good not to be done over to fine it is on sale on Monday and you bought on the weekend
That huge tool kit they gave him actually doesn’t look half bad!
Definitely talk with Hitachi. They will love this video. This is like the "hitachi works" vide of the year.
77 litres hydrolic oil drained and you were sent 80 litres. Seems like someone at Supercheap Auto did some research for your excavator specs. Nice! 👍
amazing that machine sat in forest doing nothing and you come a long and in a short time make it useful again. Congratulations you be awesome.
"Hey check out these boys." I lost it. HAHA - you're the man Marty @11:05
Are those baby goats?
J. Zingler Rams, they heavier than they look, around 80kg
@@MartyT Why do you have Mufflons? They are really cute though...
They're pretty aggressive. You would NOT want to be head butted by one of them.
Bad boys hanging around doing what boys normally do 😁
All the way from England, I've got a lot of admiration for SuperCheap for supporting homegrown machine operators and engineers! Good luck chaps.
Very interesting, my husband is Technician of Maintenance, he knows very well all gearboxes or motoreductor, sometime he works for Caterpillar, Case & Haulotte here in France ... I show him your video, he loved your maintenance, thank you.
Good on Supercheap and Gulf for stepping up to the plate.
Good maintenance will make the ol girl last a long time !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
7:16 For those ASMR folks ^^
Nice job mate, didn't skip any steps and I am sure the old girl will appreciate the maintenance. Just always amazed at how if basic maintenance is done how much better things run and last longer. But so many can't be bothered and then just toss it aside. So, good on to you for doing the right thing!!
Thanks mate
@@MartyT it is awesome watching you fix big machines like this and use them around the house!
So cool!
I wish I could find some sheep just like yours. They have the cutest most fearless character to them. I really love watching them whenever you show them in a video.
Men in the wilderness working the machines are SOOOOOOO cool!
Wow thanks Supercheap Auto!
Very nice gift?♥️🙏🏻☀️🏄♂️
Your rescue of the digger came up in my recommendations for some reason. I watched the fascinating first startup and self-extraction from the forest. Then of course I had to keep watching, and the cats are getting awful hungry.
I told them "Its addictive!"
But they don't care. They told me to "Subscribe for gawd sake, were starving".
So i did.
Great to see SCA donating to the cause. A good Brissy company. That old Isuzu is sounding good. I can see why you have 314k subscribers well 314001 now. Hope your making a buck out of it mate. A lot of work and time going into setting up the cams and then editing the final. Well done.
Nice of super cheap to give you some stuff
SCA seem to be doing a pretty good job of supporting worthwhile channels. It doesn't go unnoticed.
Yes, I am really impressed. They get all my custom anyway (I'm in NZ) but gestures like this certainly won't scare me away to Repco [spit].
Fixing up an abandoned digger? So awesome, how could we not offer to help! Shout out to Gulf Western for jumping on board also - Reece
@@supercheapautotv you guys are getting all my business now!
Supercheap Auto awesome stuff, you’ve got my business for life
worked on this stuff for many years, the wear on the pins has nothing to do with the hardness and everything to do with the LACK of grease. Go with mild steel pins and proper grease, if you put hard pins in there you will bugger up the bushings as well as the pins. Look after the old girl and she will last years. good luck
Seconded, mild steel, there is a reason they build them with that. Better to bugger up the pins than the bushings.
I agree as well. Its a grease thing
I’d put automatic greasers on the pins as well. My paw did this on all his equipment, pins lasted seemingly forever. I used to run an old Hough 120 and I’d grease the pins in the morning and they’d be dry by noon. Greased them again and they were dry at the end of the day. My Cat 988 had greasers on it, pins stayed in great shape even after years of work.
@@kennethbailey2616 Your family did better than mine! Mine never greased anything until it was well past worn out to the point grease didn't do any good anymore, then they pour it to it like there was no end to the stuff.
neil ,,, X2 re pins and grease I hope he reads your message ,
Really worth saving these old machines, they make good work horses and unlike the modern stuff the operator can do all the maintainance.
Nice JOB super cheap to give you ALL that stuff. WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!!
@Marty T I really love how you resurrect old / broken equipment and give it a new lease of life. It's inspiring to me and I learn a lot watching your channel. This Hitachi excavator was a fantastic effort - great job and thanks for sharing.
Nice score with the hydraulic oil, the cooling fluid and the tools. 👍
Nice update on the old girl. Fancy tools too 👍
"looks like that bottom plates been dented" Understatement of the century there mate haha. Good stuff man!
Can't put my finger on what makes your videos special, but they're very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Thanks mate
On a side note, how nice of you to give those rams a fun toy.
Those sheep/goats love that red bag,🐏 Great job on thar loader, give it the TLC it needs.
These videos about the Abandoned Digger are awesome! So cool to see old equipment revitalized! And it was free to top it off! Love the detail as to what was wrong when first getting going and how diagnosed issue.
Great job. Blowing a bit of smoke, could probably stand an injector service at some point in the future. Love the updates. Cheers
Thanks mate. Yes she's a bit smokey when cold, seems to clear when it warms up though
Maybe add some diesel fuel additive next time you refuel to clean the injectors. Do you run it on red diesel?.
In the UK, red diesel is taxed much lower and used in machinery on private land only - tracktors, diggers, generators, etc... Using red diesel in a diesel car or truck/lorry on the public road is very illegal and if you're caught by police you get a big fine.
@@simontay4851 It's gas not diesel
@@johnsandusky6184 its a diesel engine.....
Tbh man all old diesel engines are just smokey. Emissions were not a concern in those days
Thank YOU Supercheap! :)
Félicitations 👍👍👍👍👍👍 pour la remise en route de cette pelleteuse abandonné.
Une belle affaire 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the update. Little by little you will get there. You were lucky with the gift from Super Cheap.
I know it's just a machine but i can say she must be happy getting back to work and not forgotten..
Right on Mate for saving this beast.
Who else wanted to take that bottom cover off, and hammer it back into original shape?
Yep 🙈🤣
I just dont understand how you fuck it up that bad to begin with 😆 I've ran excavators for 10+ years and never seen one that messed up lol
Very very nice of Super Cheap to give you some well needed supplies! Especially the tools for going into the woods!
“The boys” were cool and need a couple more bags to play with- haha.
Im meant to be studying for an exam but here I am at 8am watching you changing fluids 🤣🤣🤣
I hope your exam is on digger maintenance
Nice to see you’re getting some support from business Marty.👍👍
Great Deal Mate! SCA really came through for ya. I'm sure the old girl really appreciates the flush & new fluids and I'm sure you will put the nice new shiny tools to some fair dinkum work. Thanks for the updates.
It a Hitachi, the well made digger! I have an EX50 URG, small digger for 17 years, bought it with 4400 hours, now 8900 hours, still runs great, did a lot of works when I was a home builder. I keep her as a reminder of such great job pal!. With quick coupler, I could switch among: fork, cement mixer, hammer, compactor and so on......
Greetings from Kentucky. Enjoyed the update. Glad the old girl has a second life. Well done.
That is a great old machine. Looks like the ring seal in the engine is a little worn, but that beast will live a long time anyways. Nice to give her some fresh good stuff. Looking forward to more vids of this old girl.
Very nice of SuperCheap - I will give them some business!
Nice set of tools there bud,That Excavator in the shape it is in is worth 30K/40K easy here in the US 🇺🇸, you got one heck of a deal bud, a few minor fixes and a fresh coat of paint and you have a fine machine and for FREE .....the Goats were funny in the end 😂😆👍🏻
Love this video! I enjoy watching you bring things back from scrap to fully working machines!
I liked the Rams at the end. Nice to see equip. getting the attn. it needs. The later fix for the slop in the bucket pickup pins area was good too.
I would definitely buy from suppliers that choose to support people like yourself that's doing good work in rescuing this machine and opening up the forest trail.
Not only that, your videos are educational, informative and entertaining and may help inspire others to take on challenges of their own.
It's really interesting to see your work on this machine, thanks for posting these videos.
I love that you pulled this old girl out of the scrub after 16 years and with some new fluids and a few little jobs she's nearly as good as new
She's a runner and the price was right...
Hey Marty. I live your calm demeanor in your videos. You obviously think and plan ahead before you film. Also love the way you work. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Can't argue with free, makes the much need maintenance a no lose proposition...good stuff my man.
Your a shooting star buddy…not many people that could do what you do. Thanks for the vids
This excavator is in good hands with you & the tractor you picked up too, you seem like the type of person who likes to keep on top of your gear & look after them too.
I used to operate a JCB JS130 with an Isuzu engine like the one in your Hitachi and it was a fantastic motor, never gave any problems and was fantastic on diesel would work hard for about 18hrs on a tank wish I could say that about the new one I'm on now
Excellent work on getting the digger sorted. Watching from Northern Ireland👍
Great video! Love seeing old equipment brought back to life!
Wonderful seeing the old girl getting some love after all that time abandoned ❤️
No idea why this has been in my recommendations and no idea why I’m on the second video of it, and no idea what you’re talking about but I’m enjoying it
That makes two of us! Changing the oil and spark plugs on my John Deere garden tractor is about the extent of my mechanical acumen.
@@desitterspace2127 You are most of the way towards tackling replacing oil filter, air filter, cleaning battery terminals, buying a good 8 stage battery charger (CTEK MXS 5.0 or similar) for winter maintenance of your tractor etc.etc.
Cool stuff. Love those sheep, smashing the bag. Hilarious.
This digger has found a good home. Thank you for posting, thumbs up.
This is a nice digger to add to your arsenal of equipment. Very nice indeed. Those new tools will come in handy as well.
@Marty T Just an opinion here, but I would leave mild steel pins in for the pivots. Pins are cheap and easy to change, bushings are more expensive, line boring worn out bores is way more expensive then pins. I know the work is done already, however just something to keep in mind for future endeavors. When a system is designed that will experience wear, it is common to design the system to wear at a central component that is easily repaired. Good work either way.
MS pins can be refurbished easily and cheaply enough too with a stick welder and lathe.
Thanks for the reminder. I got two or three ol girls in need of a flush before winter. Great job!
Woohoo that tool kit is beautiful. Take care of it. Cheers for some great interesting content
good to see companies like super cheap getting behind channels like this well-done guys
great to see the old machinery finally get some well deserved tlc
I'm going to go through Super Cheap tools now, great that they supplied that stuff!
Nicely done fella. When I need you I will just transport you to my place and you can start working on my equipment. That is if my transporter is up and working. Have a great day too. VF
Salute to those who supported this man! Especially those tools and other stuff
Marty I could watch you work all day and ive learned a lot from you.....thanks pal
What a great video. I just love watching this stuff.
The punching bag is a nice touch. Looking forward to the next maintenance video.
Envy how mechanically inclined you are, enjoy watching what you do.
Great job Supercheap Auto and Gulf Western is amazing. Amazing work!!
Always good to see people keeping old stuff alive.
Nice job, I bet it's running nice and smooth now. 😉👍👍👍🇺🇸
Thats awesome that they helped you out on that!!!!! Looking at their site now :)
Nice job. Free digger and free tools and fluids. But a lot of work. 💪👍
That rattle gun, if it's anything like their 18v ones, will last absolutely forever, one of the other guys at work has the 18v one and we've absolutely abused it for a year straight, we've even gotten the anvil housing up to around 160'c a few times and it still keeps on going, with no noticeable drop in performance over that time
She's looking ( and sounding ) really nice now! Good job! :)
The Rams are preparing for battle! Thanks for sharing...
Love a man who can fix, build stuff! ❤️
Landed in my Recommended vids. Hooked. Subscribed.
Great camerawork, great delivery; super production.
Thanks for sharing.
When I saw your bucket pins Marty I thought of the rebuild services in NZ for that sort of thing. They can rebuild the pin diameter with welds and then re-turn on a lathe to the correct diameter, so no need for new ones. Not sure where you would find that service in the SIs, possibly Chch. There were several in Auckland a few years ago.
yea, good work supercheap for looking after the little guys, well done.
Excellent. What a score. That will be a very handy tool. Funny sheep as well.
Ace result. Good luck with the tractor!
Love the videos mate, keep em’ coming!
Wow!
How awesome isn't to get so much tools oil and other stuff for FREE! 👍👍
Those relaxing super informative videos pays of fore you! CONGRATULATIONS 💥👍
Cheers from northern Sweden 🍻
Good effort bud! Keep the videos coming, love em!
Three cheers for Supercheap! That was quite a haul there Marty!
IT WILL LAST FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS - WE HOPE - WELL DONE ALL OF YOU !!!!
That's a great little machine nice haul on the tool kit...👌
Awesome content man.. aint nothing like productivity out in the rugged outdoors... keep up the good work man
I did not know you were the angry ram dude... Wow been watching him for years , But I love rescuing tractors... Many Blessings , SMR
By the way fantastic program today excellent commentary,,, I always love to see a old machine brought back to life,, lots of active life in this machine that you have brought out of death's grip,, still has many thousands of hours left in this life,, going to be a good digger take care of her,,, she will service you well,, a bit of Grease fluids filters I see this machine lasting well into the next millennium,,,
Amazing what a little maintenance will do.
Way back when Supercheap auto first started their shop business (they were mail order before that) they were selling air tools and sockets very cheaply. I went along and bought a rattle gun,speed ratchet, air chisel,spray guns etc etc. 40 years later I am still using them every day at work. I don't know if the quality of the stuff they sell today is still the same but the sockets etc don't have one bit of wear on them and this is despite being used all the time. Which is a lot more than I could say for the few over priced items I bought from the sharks in the White and red trucks.
Same here, I've never had any problems with their tools
Good work !!
I still have to pick up my hundy dollar tractor. Just got my foot cast off today lol. Love the updates Marty. Next is the Farmall Super A aye lol...👊👊🎯👍😉🥝🇳🇿
Aye
Great job !
Great to see you using only the best old oil drums to decant the hydraulic fluid into (Morris Oils of Shrewsbury UK 🇬🇧 my home). 🤪
I admire those who take the time to do it right. Skills, mate. And thanks for a great parting shot! 😉
