@@jamesberggren9029 wrong. If this trailer was a spread axle it would actually be able to haul LESS than it can as a closed tandem. If this trailer was a spread with would worse in literally every single way.
If that engine came out of the 773 (60t capacity-used to be 50t) it would be a 3408 and a few pounds heavier the "5 or 6" thousand pounds. Yo Ho HO, It has a "C-12" or some other number classification. They started all the "C" stuff about the time I retired, so I don't know those numbers.. That truck was built in the Decatur, IL CAT plant where I spent 33 exciting years doin lots of stuff. I supervised the paint line for two yrs back in 1978. We would paint some 15-19 units per shift depending on the product mix.
Used to work for a Cat dealer as a crane truck operator. Changed powertrains in a many 773,777,789, D-6 thru D-11, 980's to 992's. We could usually do a engine torque convertor swap in 4 shifts. 1st shift would start, 2nd shift would swap components and replace any hoses and parts. 1st shift would come back and set it back in. 2nd shift would finish sheet metal, topping fluids and running it to test. I would show up to pull it out and set it back in the machine. back in the day we would do several engines a week. Average life of a 3508 engine in a D-11/777 was 5 to 8,000hrs before needing to be rebuilt. That 773B truck has a 3412 engine. Average life span of that engine is 6 to 10,000hrs. That engine brings back memories of unwrapping those cat rebuilds at the job sites. Those are 777 cabs
The engine replacement job was like temp. character transfers in '90s Young & Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful 😆First we watched how the engine was replaced on the Iron king channel and now we are watching how the engine was delivered.
When I used to drive for Redmond Heavy Hauling, I would always end up running out of hours in McDermott.....there was a motel called the Diamond A.....worst motel I have ever stayed in!!! Made Motel 6 look like the Marriott lol.
27:00 - it's always neat seeing the shots with the long arm camera that eliminates itself from the shot, because in this case, you can actually see the camera and stick's shadow.
It is a 360 degree vision camera. Go Pro makes one. ARV $900.00. I thought looking at the Driver's front wheel was cool, yup all those spikes are still attached. When Casey uses this camera in the forest as he has done it shows a different perspective with the surrounding landscape.
He was using an Insta 360 camera and that inspired me to get one, the R1 model which has two lenses, a 360 and a 180. One of his had a lens get damaged, but I don't know if he got another Insta 360 to replace it. It takes great videos, but they use tons of storage and you need lots of processing power to edit them.
Here in Australia, for the mandatory break you aren't allowed in the driver's seat at all, most fleet rigs have cabin cameras, to ensure you take the break, dose that tipper have electric motors at each wheel? a lot here do, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
I bet that trailer with all those tires is a maintenance nightmare too, it might be handy an work awesome, holy shit the wear parts are reall on that bad boy, thanks for sharing Casey
It’s a lot of fun to be involved with something but not committed sometimes. Thanks for a great episode and a new channel,to watch. Glad the new trailer worked out well, and the family vacation still happened!
My brother-in-law is a mechanical engineer, He's spent his career working on new engine testing for the Solar division of Caterpillar, but they are gas turbines used in the oil and gas industry. That monster diesel reminded me of what he does every day, and yes: They are all painted orange.
I would give your trailer a quick paint job just on the outside of the deck frame, the part visible from 50 ft away. I say this only because a trailer that looks old and worn is more likely to attract attention of the ministry of transport, which could increase the number of times you get pulled over for an inspection. The rest looks okay.
@fergusonhobbyfarm4567 We used to run an old 80 something f800 single axle dump. It was a dog and just begged for the inspector to nab it, but would pass a safety as long as you didn't pay too much attention to the dump box. (Would have made a decent salter with all the holes in it) I remember getting pulled into the scales and the inspector literally rubbed his hands together as he laid down on his creeper. 15 minutes later he popped out and told me my fuel cap was seeping... that was all he could find. Had it been the day before I'd have been in a bit of a spot. That old Detroit leaked like it was going out of style. I had just washed it down to the Detroit blue the day before.
Awesome set up, definitely need to get a pogo stick or something to get all of your airlines and light wires completely off your cat walk. Love the Zack lift set up.
First load for the new trailer is a rather important ... heavy one .. And this is how Casey does his thing ... nice job from Quintin ( another of my subscribed pages)
I'm pretty sure that is one of our old trailers we replaced a few years ago. It has hauled alot of loads in shipyard up here in Washington. I noticed it had a faded HH on the drivers side bang board. That's how we marked our trailers.
Casey that was a great video i enjoy big trucks, heavy equipment and tow trucks your channel covers everything i love thank you very love your videos channel 👍
Hauled a load of hay out of Burns, Or. once. After leaving the truck scales in Burns we must have driven another 20 miles out of town on partially paved and partially dirt roads to get to the hay ranch. Wild horses and sagebrush all the way out there really kinda neat. I was so glad when I got back to the scales that I was not overloaded I would've had to take my overload back to the ranch not fun. Took the load to a dairy in San Deigo County. Great adventure.
Here in the Midwest, running your straps outside the rub rail is no problem. I think cutting off that round bar and putting flat stock so that you can loop your straps around it. Like all the other steel trailers have would be a good idea. Remember to mount your toolbox high enough that it's not a ground clearance problem but low enough that it's not a sliding winch problem.😂
Just want to say thank you for the videos you made about ecoflow a year or more ago. Based on your reviews I brought a delta 2 which has been invaluable and have now just purchased the delta max (arrives tomorrow) which will be the main source of power for a remote cabaña that I am renovating in Cantabria, northern Spain. If it wasn't for your channel, I'd never have heard of ecoflow...! Thank you & greetings from Spain 🍷
The variety on your vids keeps everything fresh. Great job and stay safe. Keep up the good work with your Patreon donations. Fully support your good work.
"Go see what kind of shenanigans we are getting into today" sounds like a reason to look at how you could also drag the ZackLift (load on flatbed, use to haul flatbed, etc) "just in case"
Another great adventure for sure! Love it when the government says you must cut red tape lengthwise, you come along and cut it the widthwise way! Lawdy, what a beautiful vista! When we traveled we always looked foreword to what was around the next corner, loved seeing from a vehicle! 🚗👍 Thank you 🙏❤️😎🤙
That reminds of the time I pulled the engine out of my '70 KW with a borrowed backhoe. Outside on a gravel drive on a cold winter day. Hauled it in my 3/4 ton Ford 70 miles to swap it out with a good engine, only to find out that the "good" engine was buried upside down in frozen mud. Wasted trip.
Gotta love those moments, I have had a few where they said the truck or equipment I was wanting to buy was easy to get to and they where buried behind everything or in the middle of a washout
Regarding your "new" trailer one thing I would do is coat it with some used oil to help its longevity. No, it won't make it slippery as it all will be absorbed into the wood.
Out in the middle of nowhere. The first time I went west of Bismarck, ND I said to myself there is nothing out here. The second time I went west of Bismarck I joyfully said, "there is nothing and nobody out here". Beats the heck out of driving east.
Do you ever find your straps vibrating? I know a lot of truckers will put a half twist in the strap on either side of the load to reduce any vibration/ frequency.
Thank you I really enjoy big equipment. One of my many jobs experience operating cranes. Thank you for posting all the interesting informative videos on your TH-cam channel.
Interesting, informative & great video. So many nuances to what you and others (with the new engine) did. Big time team effort, & you making a big difference transporting the engine. Thanks, best to you & your family.
That’s still the law. But when the way the law wants you to do it is less safe and incorrectly stresses the equipment, the simple solution is to say…. fuck the law.
Omega Morgan (the truck with the platform trailer) moved the turbines for Site C Dam in British Columbia, im not sure if they used the platform trailer in the video but the trailer they used could crab walk the turbine around anything.
Why not a 10/2 spread???
Because it’s pointless
@@CaseyLaDelle why is it pointless??

1:51 what an absolutely kick ass trailer! Never seen one in person.

Rusty rigs scream "pull me over" a lot louder than painted ones.
Agree - thats advice I got too when i was trucking - don’t attract the law with things that can easily be fixed.
