    What a sweet little diesel-not a bit of smoke almost immediately, sounds like a nice runner! Very much enjoyed watching Sir-thanks for taking the time to put this up.

    What I found great about this was you did it all in your driveway. No special tools or spotless shop, just like us mere mortals👍

      @@73DiamondReo I am not monetized, but you still get blitzed with ads on my stuff. So most of those ads probably benefit YT, not you.
      Yootoobs business model is probably not sustainable. I note that most of the ads are low end, like late night TV.
      Anyway, I watched the whole video, and really liked watching the process. That trailer looks like something you'd like to have several of.

      Trailer should be pretty handy to have around. I think I did alright with my scrap yard auction buy between the trailer, tank of fuel and the engine.
      Next video will be equipment related.

    What a nice little engine! I was skeptical when you could hear and see the water sloshing around inside. Thankfully, a low-spot to hold the water back from entering the cylinders. In the end, you saved it from the scrapper, and hopefully bring some life to the cable excavator. Look forward to your next video in this series!

    *Fantastic job Frank!* 🙂👍 You put in the effort where most people would have gave up. You just showed proof that just because an engine might be stuck, it's not ruined. Happy to see the cable hoe move at the end too. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

      I really haven’t done much. Replaced some track pins is about it. The Lima 24 I want to repin the entire track. Do you have a machine that needs track work?

    Alright, my suggestion? Rig up the trailer and both pieces of equipment so that you can put either the power washer or the air compressor on it according to which you need to cart around at the time. Maybe fashion a steel frame base for each device and drill all the bolt holes in the trailer and bases you'll need.
    If this isn't the dumbest thing you've read today, then I'm losing my touch. Anyway, keep making cool videos, man. See you on the next one.
