I still think it's so damn rewarding to see the backhoe working like a charm and purring like a kitten after all your repairs! I'm proud of ya! :)
Definitely happy about it
A backhoe is like a swiss army knife good job Captain.
💪
I know she is an old girl but has a lot of life left. Thanks to your hard work.
Hope so
I love how you used the attachment to pull the tree from the pile!!! Do you know that I have not seen many Do this!!! I am 63 and always loved to see people use their mind! Think out side the box. Always satisfying ❤❤❤
Hey that was fun and interesting. Great video Cap, keep up the awesome work an video's. Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
It’s great to see all your hard work on your backhoe that you put in, now you’re able to use it on your property. Good job
So great to see the 555 doing what its supposed to! Great job sir!
ok another great video, see winter project, adding thumb to backhoe bucket.
A wise man once said......read the room. i really enjoyed today's episode!!!
I was thinking there might be some criter living in the loose logs and sticks. I guess a good way to find out would be sticking your hand down in there and see what you find. Nice work Captain, enjoyed watching.
You got a sweet looking Pond Mike, it’s starting to look like a nice Oasis
Thanks!
Well, as always, Captain put another smile on my face. Excited to see what's next on your adventure and projects.😊
I think you should build a thumb for the 555. Would make some great content. Keep up the good work.
The 555 has got it goin on Captain K nice!
💪
“ a nice game of washers “ 🤣😂🤣 excellent as always Mike 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
💪
hello mike it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Wow, that's some primo dirt there Captain!! The pond is going to look even better after you get this part done! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure Mike!!!
Hey Mike, the ol 555 sure is making quick work of clearing the area. I bet this is the best 3K (or so) spent.
Sure am glad to see you get good utility out of the 555. Good that you keep an eye on stuff that might break and fix is proactively. Attaboy!
Gosh I love time lapse! I could watch that all day every day, and twice on Sunday!
💪
Looks like you did a great job fixing the 555. She is really proving her worth now!
Definitely! Appreciate ya watching
It may not be the prettiest of machines, but it can still do the job it was built for.
"Why are we clearing land with our old Backhoe?" Because it's fun and we can. It also shows progress on our dreams. GOOD JOB CAPTAIN KLEEMAN.👍
💪
Dig your commitment to the dangling bungee in the windshield.
🤣🤣
Like what your doing! Those 2 pieces of equipment are getting the job done.
I absolutely love watching you working and repairing things, especially since I'm doing similar things here in Japan, developing a mountain area.....I was hearing the bucket "creaking" a bit in the video, are you greasing the pins and joints (I haven't seen you make reference to that in your videos.....) Also, speaking from my experience (bad luck...!) tree limbs like to catch on hydraulic hoses.....your 555 backhoe arm seems to have some rather lengthy and unruly hoses.....maybe a good idea to tie those off, so that they don't get caught on something.....I do appreciate that you wanted to get working after all of the time and effort that you have put into that thing....! (Great work getting it working again, by the way! Love watching your progress....and know that you have more work to do on the machine) Keep up the great work....!
Captain has a sand box now, look out, Bones is coming through 💪👍🇺🇸
Captain Kleeman, he's our hero
Mike im glad you explained what the goal of what you were doing. Half way through the video i was confused why you were moving everything from one spot to another. Good luck with your project.
Appreciate ya watching
golden spot of dirt Bud I be planting with that Sh-t great watch the ole iron is doing great to 👋👍🇨🇦
That triple nickel has done some work for a scrapper, proves what the old machines can do with a little TLC good video Mike cant wait to see what you do next.
It had a rough life lol
( had ) just remember you video tape what you do to it mike lol hopefully it gets life of ease like the 755 does.....
22:52 "we're past that. Read the room." 😂😂😂
🤣
Great video Captain. I do have to agree with you, use what ya got! Some of us don't have that fancy thing called money, so we have to work with what we got.
You're a hoot to watch. Talented individual that gets stuff done. If you had put some dance music behind the loose bolt section. Wow!
Mike you make hard work look like fun and every project an adventure thanks for bringing us along 👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks!
You've got some real nice top soil in there, we'll worth keeping.
Definitely
Nice idea,just got to put it in reality,you area hard working man Mike.believe your vision is coming together great video.keep on doing what your doing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Putting it into reality is what you just watched lol
This is awesome. In the process of doing this on my parents land. Found a beauticians chair. Nobody in my family cuts hair.
Found a boat. That i thaught got solid a decade ago.
Man the 555 is paying dividends already! That bolt expired long before you got the machine! Replace things as they fail good plan!
more room for all the fun got some good soil to use. nice job see ya on part 2. cheers captain.
You bet
Capt, sure looks good clearing the hill, you're going to have 1 heck of a 4th of July bonfire pile.😅
I ran a 555 for years installing septic tanks and grading. Great machine. Be careful with the extend-a-hoe. The counter weight isnt quit heavy enough with a empty bucket on a hill. Love seeing your machine run. Excellent content!!
Cap’n, Hold on…. Don’t throw that Pizza Slice floatie away… you can patch it up and add it into the Trade Up challenge!
Once again the Fifty Five sisters are working together to get it done. With Five digging and Seven hauling, they may not be the purdy-est girls in the dance floor but…. There ain’t a farmer in the country that wouldn’t be proud to call them daughters!
PS: Thanks for sitting the camera up in the poison Ivy. I’ve been working on my immunity. LOL
Definitely proud of them!
Mike , it's been long time you worked hard on this tractor, but i feel it's like to try to relieve a dead man 🙄
And about the job you did a great work 👍
It's paid for itself already, love it
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting and entertaining to see the continued adventures of the Captain Kleeman channel. Never let go of your originality and un scripted structure of your channel. It’s part of what makes you great. Wishing you and your family the best.
Thank you Tom! Means a lot
1/8" 7018 welding rod works as a hell of a pin keeper, and their endless if you lose them 😂 i know this from experience
🤣🤣. Holding metal together in multiple ways!
I was watching the 555 working away and couldn't help myself from wondering how long it would've taken the 755 🤔 Great job on the restoration so far... And the clean up progress
While the 555 is definitely an improvement over the 710, watching you work, it would sure be nice to have a thumb on there. Since you are running out of projects, you can add that to the list. LOL, Thanks for sharing.
The ol' girl (tractor) isn't as pretty as she once was but she's still getting it done with the bit of TLC you've given her. Thanks for sharing!
Love the Kleeman Chanel meens we get more of you.
The 555 is doing a good job great video thanks Mike
Mike I’m enjoying both channels! ❤
Thanks!
I see you and man behind the scenes building a thumb for the backhoe before long.
I do my own stunts lol.
Cool project, very satisfying to see you make it all the way through to the other side.
You are on a rock hunt or not and the Ford 555 is getting it done ✅ and yes save the topsoil it will still be good tomorrow 😎
Dude that 555 is now your best friend! You need a dump trailer!
Would be handy!
I bet all those that doubted what you were doing when you got the 555 and then questioned why you were doing all that work are kicking themselves now. In bringing the old girl back to life and now doing what she was designed to do, it's elevated you into the realm of Diesel Creek, Salvage Workshop and Andrew Camarata. It's a shame that more of your 70,000+ subscribers don't hit that like button! 👍🤗
Hey I appreciate the kind words
That's great garden dirt. God bless
Definitely!
Oh yeah drone footage, the most underused tool in everyone's ttill box. A must have ESPECIALLY what you and DP do.
😍😍😍😍😍😍 Love done footage
Look's like you have plenty of good soil for the raised garden beds
What do you mean, stock pile it somewhere. Looks to me like that’s what you did. Boy, you’re going wild with that NEW backhoe. Keep going we ❤️ it.
Captain! Black and Decker has a RECALL notice out on their DEWALT, Craftsman And another brand of Fiberglas handled Sledge Hammers!
It's not a DeWalt
You go for it Boy...I just bought more stock in the washer making bidness!
Another stellar outro!
Hi Mike. I am going to say that you will end up getting at least 80% of the fill that you need. If the rock does break up as you say, that might find a new home as well. We will see when we do. Have good days!
Definitely curious how it turns out!
You probably thought about it but throwing this out there. You should put a thumb on her. Maybe an electric over hydraulic and put the button on your stick. Just a thought. She running good CPT !!!!👍👍👍
The 555 has proven invaluable once again. Love watching the effort you put into fixing it and then seeing it in the dirt 👍
What a good decision to rebuilt that 555. Works great and you have enough energy to keep it busy.
Definitely getting my money's worth!
Great video, love watching.
Just a city boy here, I noticed the pond is a beautiful color. I’m guessing either you or your neighbor put dye in it. Now that being said, is it safe for the kids to swim in. Or is it now just a fishing pond? Inquiring minds want to know lol keep up the great work I enjoy watching.
he has a video of him dyeing it
It would be nice for the fish if you piled the stumps in the pond in a pile all together where they can swim around and through them like tunnels. That will only work if they are stacked on each other. Not telling you to do it, just a suggestion.
I like the larger bucket, looks like you’re doing something now Mike! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
That is going to look nice. Both machines working together is getting it done. Stay safe
You know I have made deals like you did on your property, and in the long run, I usually came out at least even but more often than not I came out ahead, but the good will that came out of the good will jester turned out to be priceless, it usually came back as a reward. Thanks for the tag along video sir.
Great job.Drove one of them once it was probably even older with a separate lever for each function.every one seemed to work differently to what you would expect.I had just about got the hang of it when the back end fell off,it was hooked over the back axle and secured with some huge bolts which had come lose,lot of fun getting it back on.A great machine,you could really make a mess with it.
Thank God you have that 2nd Responder work schedule, 24 on(get plenty of sleep) 48 off...... (Plenty of time for projects)......and yes I'm jealous😂😂😂
beautiful 👌
Thanks!
You’ve got a lot of work into the 555, but I’d say Clint did you right.
Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate ya watching
It amazes me how much I love these “discovery” videos where you have to keep your options open until more information gets revealed. I’m excited to learn what phase two is going to be…you can tell us in advance or keep it suspenseful, I’m coming back (and watching) either way.
You have learned to use those forks to move wood in ways I didn’t know was possible …nicely done
Always appreciate ya watching
Good morning Sir
Captain you’re really kicking butt, your equipment is working good and your determination is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks Kevin
The river valley and surrounding hills are so similar to the Hudson Valley here in New York.
It's gorgeous!
good bolt images
💪
Just think what you could do with a grappler and add a 3rd function valve to the equipment. I'm sure you could make one and if you could put an easy attach and remove thumb for the backhoe. Good job! :)
AND,.....extended easy on or off 12" extension teeth bar on the backhoe bucket. Lol, just trying to help! Lol.
glad you called out the name of the tree of heaven. I have those here in western Pa. but I had forgotten the name of it. every once in a while one will fall over. They get fairly big and provide ALOT of firewood. not great firewood though. for as heavy as they are green, they are deceiving. They dry very light. great to start a fire with but I would feel guilty selling a load of it at the same price I charge for hardwoods.
What wood do they burn like the most? I haven't burnt much of it myself
@@CaptainKleeman It is a quicker burn like pine but doesn't pop or crackle or throw sparks like pine does. it is more like a softwood. not heavy after it dries and not a slow burn like a cherry or oak. I will burn it just because it is still heat and I had it available. If I am starting a fire I will pick pieces of it to start my fire because it catches on fire easier... quicker burn.
The back hoe and little tractor do a great job - ideal for this one. All this work continues to make a dream come true and enjoying the ride.
Fun fun fun
Good job captain
its working very wel whit the 2 trators
💪
Stockpile the good dirt for @Wild Roots
Definitely!
Good to see the triple nickel is working well. Not smoking a bunch and pulling her weight. I hope that you have good luck with her and only have some minor breakdowns.
When you were pushing all those trees onto the burn pile with the 555, were you pretending to be Jerry in the 850B? 😆
🤣
that outro, i think letsdig18 is a bad influence on ya
A+ for that Mike lov the chann😢.
Thanks!
Hello Mike,
I know for certain that a man of your caliber and intelligence could build and install an awesome working thumb on "Bones", the question is, will you accept the challenge? Another great video friend.
Well Captain, it looks to me like you're getting reall good working that Ho, tractor and other equipment getting your property and your brother's property in shape.
Do you intend to build a rental cabin in that spot once it's cleared out or keep the pond private use only.
Thanks for including us in your plans. A lot of the creators do not, and I find myself asking 'how does this fit in the big scheme of things.' 🙄
I do my best! Thanks for watching
Since you don't use the extendahoe part, you should repurpose the hydraulic lines to work a thumb.
I use the extendahoe
So that thing is now your try-pod and when you'll get a real tripod, the other becomes your at-least-I-tried-pod.
Edit: it sounded better in my mind lol
Love it
