    Another great video of you explaining what was going on with Bubba and then getting right into taking things apart .
    Sometimes it takes patience and determination to get to the bottom of what was going on with the different things and then having common mechanical sense to fix things right and having pride in your work, doing it right and not cobbling it up. I have over the years, ran into lots of people that were never learned how to really do things right and they think that what their doing is just okay and that there is nothing wrong with how their doing things and I run into that so much doing electrical work, especially . I had several great electrical teachers and I have always got good complements from all of the electrical inspectors that I have dealt with on my jobs over the years . So many people anymore don't care, just get er done, whether it's right or not or how long it lasts.
    So thanks Michael for taking the time to show us what was wrong, how that you figured it out and what needed to be done to fix it and then fixing it right or ordering new parts and will fix it right .
    So thanks going out to Mike and Matt and Bill for this video .
    Take care and stay safe and getting the equipment repaired and back to work, while joking, laughing .
    🤗👍💖💫

    The service and maintenance videos is very enjoyable to watch from a viewer that is interested in stuff like trucks, excavators, locomotives from a more general perspective. Enjoy very much your uploads of buying equipment, servicing, auctions etc. Thanks for your uploads.

    This kind of stuff is what I started watching your channel for, honest attempts to fix stuff, where it doesn't always work on the first try, like the "real world" instead of some of these channels where they edit everything to look like it's all done perfectly, on the first try, in a few minutes. Plus, coming from the old school where I expect my co-workers to give me a running, smart-aleck commentary while working, it kind of feels familiar. Thanks for sharing.

      Had a good one the other day, friend had just got a old motorcycle working and was about to go for a test drive, "So you gonna toss on a seat or ride her bareback?" Que his wife snorting and giggling like a school girl.
      Sadly the test ride reviled he needed another set of forks to make the front end correct (~2 hours of trying different spacer combos), and last I seen he was rewiring the hand controls =/

    As someone who has worked on a massive range of machinery over the years, (from lawnmowers to marine steam turbines to automotive from 1937 to current, to liquid gas generation et al), I fully understand the "figure it out and make it work" approach and the joys of trying to fit a mirror, light, tools, hands and the part into the space made to barely fit the part.

It may not be the fastest but in the end you now have a new skill to put in your bucket. Really enjoy these kind of videos. Just shows there are guys that still enjoy tearing stuff apart, save a few bucks and fix it themselves. Well done!

  • @dansbrown1313

    Best word to describe this video would be "Tenacity". Before you picked up this machine, someone hired a Sub Par mechanic who decided to button it all up, sell it and hope no one figures out who made all the mistakes and hid them. You're an awesome guy Mike.

    As other have said . . . This was an epic episode. I appreciate you DIY maintenance work. I was 36 years in the military and often found myself doing whatever it takes to get my vehicles back on the road. While computers aren't for everybody, you do have one in the shop and a lifetime subscription to an electronic version of the service/repair/maintenance manuals for Bubba Dump can be had for under $50. Keep up the great work (even if you did put the caliper pistons in backward).

    @topshelf321 2 года назад

    I like the way you work.... Take things figure out how they work, fix them and then figure out how to put it back to together. I did the same with my dozer transmission. But now I have a very good understanding of how it works and if there are problems later I'll know. Same with you. Now you know how your truck works. And just think what that would have costed if you just dropped it off a Volvo or had a mechanic come out onsite. You could have exceeded what the truck is worth in repairs pretty quick. I had CAT work on my dozer one time and learned that lesson quickly.

I know its definitely not a priority but I would like to see this truck get a paint job once its all fixed and working correctly. I think it would look great in the military green but I am partial to that color lol. Keep up the great videos amigo, I always look forward to them even though I don't comment very often.

I love that kind of thing,that tickles my Timbers man. I also know that to give advice isn’t really going to help much because it’s impossible to give enough info in a short vid to give continuity to the project. Still love to try and process it out for my self. Thanks for the ride along sir.
