- Now that winter and road cinder season is winding down, it's finally time to replace the broken windshield in the Western Star. It was a Saturday and I didn't want to bother anyone for a ride, so I just hooked it up to the rollback and towed it up to Rim Rock Auto Glass in Redmond. They got me the windshields I needed overnight, and installed quicker than they said they could. I highly recommend them and if you need any auto glass in the Central Oregon area, check out rimrockautogla...

What a waste of time. Have your wife pick you up at the glass shop in the family car.
You mean my wife who also has things to do on the weekend??
Since I can hook and unhook the truck in less than half the time it takes to drive to glass shop, having someone drive there to give me a ride would actually create more man hours involved in getting this truck to and from the glass shop than towing it. So no, this is not a waste of time, and is actually the most time efficient option.
Love it when people who are not on site, can't see the big picture, but have to tell you how to do the job.🥺
@@CaseyLaDelleunless the zacklift was still on it?
@@CaseyLaDelle Where is wonderboy Ethan?
@@saxamusprime but it’s not
People who whinge about your gloves getting your truck dirty inside, have obviously not worked outdoors, or maybe only worked on a keyboard. 'S your truck, you can clean it if you want to !
City folk don’t understand how muddy “the earth” generally is… cement is misleading folks left and right? We got dirt! Lots of it
They’d really hate my truck.
If I took them off, I'd probably forget them and have to go get another pair of gloves.
I grew up playing and working in the great Oregon outdoors, getting dirty. Then I got an adult job, working in offices for 30 years. Then I retired and moved back home. One of the first things I did was help my BIL pick up some bags of potting soil from the local outdoor store. The bags were stored outdoors, and had gotten muddy. When I set the first one down in the pickup, I looked at my hands and said, "Ewww, mud!" That's when I realized I had been working indoors too long.
@@jamestorrence9340 yep, I feel bad for the people who forget or never enjoyed the fun in the mud
Self employment get a totally new twist when you have a tow truck to tow your tow truck! 😃
Interesting idea for money laundering lol
I wonder if you can write off the mileage on both trucks that way???
It is amazing how quick people try to tell somebody else how to do their job! However, if you tell them they get mad!😂
Casey just likes to explain what he is doing! He has a GIFT TO TALK, That is why we have the haters.
@@kenc1800 Not just a gift to talk, but I believe that he could talk under water with a mouthful of marbles. That said, he knows what he is talking about and I learn something new from every one of his videos.
Yeah exactly...get that towtruck out the way...and let the o.t.r drivers do their job...somebody's on the d.o.t clock waiting for your ass to get out of the parking lot @ what you think is a safe speed...time is money...and we don't have all the time in the world. Professional means what it says...you are safe in the midst of Professionals..you would think since he has driven truck he would understand.
You know a man who tows his own expensive truck (with his own expensive truck) EXACTLY like he tows everyone else’s expensive trucks, cars, and equipment has GREAT CARE FOR HIS CUSTOMERS!!!! Another excellent lesson from the LaDelle school of towing!!! Also, configuring that wheel lift gives you all the exercise you need for the day…😂!
Agreed, I see trucks being towed around bere a lot and I have NEVER seen anyone strap any parts of the trucks to prevent wind damage.
Man, driving in reverse all the way back to his house is a serious flex.
Rory , eat yer heart out ! 😉
getting new windshield glass is definitely one of the most satisfying things ever
After getting new tires, which makes any vehicle feel new.
It's amazing how much cleaner the windshield looks with new glass. The difference would have seriously bothered me
Boy oh boy its nice to see the rollback workin again plus man does it sound good too. 👍👍👍✌️
Casey, it never ceases to amaze me how much you need to educate some viewers on very basic concepts. I can only imagine how many eye rolls you make.
Enjoy your videos and the displays of your expertise.
Those bug/wind visors really help to prevent rock chips
I would have to agree with that. When I was in Australia I noticed that the most trucks had a Mad Max grill at the base of the windshield that extended up and out about 10-12" not to guard for rocks and stones, but to keep the uninvited kangaroo out of the cab, cause they jump and when they are in the air at a 110 KMPH approximately 70 MPH trust me you don't want them coming through the windscreen as they would say.
Simpler solution to the strap winches.
Weld a piece of tube with 4 holes on the spur / latch gear side. This way they work from both sides. Much easier than taking everything apart and flipping it around like I initially suggested.
Maximum Utilization of Available Resources….. Recently I moved a shed over 100 ‘ by myself using poles and pipes and my zero turn. Yes I waited until the ground was frozen!! My time my my resources and didn’t take my wife’s time son’s time or neighbors time away from their families !!! Keep up the good work!!!
You definitely have a great sense of audience engagement. Excellent fast forward effects.
Was that fast forward or fast reverse? Ha, ha.
Woke up with a migraine, saw a new video from you and your rewind made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that. Love your videos, attitude and your gifts you give people when they are in crisis. It’s amazing that people sit on their fat asses and tell you how to treat your equipment. Just keep doing what you’re doing and maybe our paths will cross someday out in the woods.
it is amazing (to me) how much effort it takes under IDEAL conditions to hook up a truck for a tow - flat ground, no rain, no traffic, no weeds/cliffs, no screaming customer. Thanks for sharing! Thank you for the work you do! Be careful out there.
That rollback moves up the hills like it had no weight on it. That's power.
Loved the reverse high speed!
That was a quick turnaround getting the new wind shields put in!
💙🇺🇲 Just, WOW! What a good video to watch on a lazy Sunday morning. You are deffinetly one of those people that has the gift of gab, but more importantly you draw the viewer in with your knowledge, confidence and through explanations on why you set up things the way you do. YOU ARE the BOSS on the Road...but at home, probably not so much??? 😂😂😂
It's not A waste of time it's good training and
fun to do and it won't just s
Mess anyone else's schedule and you will have the role back. If. You get a call. Love the videos I learn a lot and it drives The algorithm.
Just a big kid playing with his toys!
Another Sunday, and another breath of fresh air from Mr Casey...
I don't work in any industry where I am likely to ever need the skills you show here, but like most of your other videos I learned things that make me feel confident that I at least understand how it's done, and I find it fascinating. Thanks so much as always.
Great shout out to the shop for having the windshield in stock. I hate looking through cracked windshields.
Some people have the best equipment . Casey you are spoiled rotten😂😂😂
I love the videos,the razzing of friends and your kindness to people in trouble. Keep up the good thou good and faithful operator😊
That rollback ROCKS.
I think like many people, I very much like your conscientiousness!
Thanks for the fast forward! Lol Very versatile between the Roll Back and the Zach Lift, always good to have options!
That zip tie you got can be put on the end of rim straps. Makes it a lot easier threading your straps into the rims. Just a suggestion. Love your show.
Nice job on havig the windshield fixed. Always great to keep equipment in top shape.
Especially when it comes to scales. Out of state? For sure you're going to get a ticket.
Just figured out why you decided to have a youtube channel Casey. You talk to yourself as you hook every thing up and when you are putting everything away to make sure you have everything ready to go and with the camera you can just say you are talking to the people on youtube so people don't think you are strange. Well they may still thing that you are strange but you have a reason for it. LOL You do you Casey you do you.
Easily one of the niecest genuine creators on utube
0:35 - I for some reason watch Outback Truckers, and one of the things I like they have, is this metal/mesh guard that goes in front of their windshields. Just blocks all the rocks/kangaroo from damaging the glass.
I literally just made the exact same comment on a different comment just up the page . The kangaroo have killed a fare few drivers coming through the windscreen. The bull bar keeps them out of the radiator and the gut grill keeps them out of the cab .
The magic of TH-cam Casey reversed the rollback all the way home while towing the western star .....wat a driver 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for explaining things a little more in detail. I'm learning so much.
Amazing how much faster the setup and drive home was than the trip to the glass shop.
Good video as ever Casey 👍
I'm starting to think the roll back ain't going nowhere 😁
You are a great tow operator, keep it up, Casey
I hope you doubled your fee! I hear if you get that guy going, he'll talk your ears off. 😂
Thank you for the fast forward of the return trip - the fact that it has audio commenting confirmed my suspicion that Casey is only filming to mask that he is talking himself through all his work steps... :) Great video as usual!
Well i am glad that you know just what you are going Casey . As that was so different this time.
Good morning Casey when you said you had to tow your truck my first thought was I hope something didn't happen to the rollback again.
I hope you have a safe trip
That “Rewind” return trip was 😵💫😂😂👍😎 You’re independent and stubborn 🤔 Never would have guessed that 😂 Me too. Stay safe out there!❤️🙏
Awesome job. It's so sad that you have to explain everything you do. And it drives me insane because they always questioned you. But you do have some like me that listen to everything you say, and it makes sense. 😊 Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊
I just assumed all TH-camrs had broken winshields :) well at least you, and Fabrats, and Matt's offroad recovert and ... :)
Now that return trip is a play back speed I can get behind.😁
I agree, wish we could do this when we're running late or in rush hour traffic 😂
You are a pretty good teacher as we can guess the steps from previous vids. Hope you stay rock chip free for summer. Calgary had rocks too which made reconditioning for auction an endless pile of windshields. Which would get cracked again as soon as the new owner drove in a blizzard.
I was amazed I just spent 22 minutes...at 1.25 speed... watching you hook up and tow your truck. I don't know why it was so fascinating to see all the details that go into getting it hooked up safely. Love all your vids since i first found you a few years ago when some idiots accused you of copying Matt's off-road recovery and the algo suggested your vid and added you to my weekly feed along with, Matt, heavy d, fabrats, Robby Layton, Rory, etc.
Most of my 19 years in towing was in a two car carrier. I suppose the main difference was that I was towing mostly cars and light to light medium duty trucks, like maybe as high as an F550 or similar sized trucks. Doing the kind that I was doing, I found out the importanmce of wearing gloves anytime I was operating the business end of the truck fairly early when I had to pay to have the seat, wheel, shifter and door panel of a customer's car cleaned because either my hands were dirty or I forgot to remove my gloves before getting in their car to do things like shift into nuetral or adjust the steering wheel while I was winching the car onto the deck. I ended up using those wide cuffed gloves that are on and off quickly and took just about no time to remove and put back on. For me, it wasn't solely about protecting my hands, but also keeping them clean at the same time, so that also spilled over to when I was getting back into my truck, because getting my steering wheel dirty was a good way to transfer it into a customer's car or truck. Lol...They also helped when it was cold outside because grabbing freezing cold steel with bare hands really, really sucks! But yeah, wearing gloves comes down to what type of towing you're doing and for whom.
A carhauler shop should have a reverse strap winch. They run down both sides of the equipment.
We don't use those kinds.
Left-hand strap winches ARE available. Only problem is they’re weld-on. Unless you wanna re-fab something, seems you’re stuck with what you’ve got
4.8.24 What was wrong with the roll back? Did you do an info video about it? Wheres Ethan? Are you going to sell the roll back?
I remember that you showed it when you went to pick up a broken down dump truck
Hi Casey from Australia. For your hard to get to wheel tiedown make a either 1/2inch or 3/4 drive socket that fitts on either side and simply use a gearwrench ratchet .best thing its a redundant system.just pin the home made socket onto the strap ratchet.
Exactly in reverse" really fast, funny. Thanks for the video.
Casey you have two amazing trucks love them both thanks for the video enjoyed it 😊
Loved the superfast rewind. That was awesome! LOL
Funniest part of these is that we always see the rigging/unrigging fully in the video, and we all just stay watching it every time😂😂😂😂. I even put it in .25 speed for the second time😂😂
17:48
Awesome chest cam!
I’m driving!
I carry a cut loadbar and a full size one. It's cut at the top of the lower knurling. It helps with step decks being low and would help you with the wheel grid.
Another great video regarding the transformation from tow truck to regular tractor
Thanks for another nice upload. These are nice to watch before I have to go in to the horrid workplace.
That’s a great new trailer. And it had a great first job!!
Great video Casey! Stay safe and have a great week.
Hey Casey if you can’t get a strap winder on the correct side you could weld the part that you put your bar into with the four holes in it onto the other side straight to the side of the lock gear 0:52
That's cool..they did some awesome quick work. Thanks for the video
Gooood morning Casey!!
Wheeeeee that was just as fast as the glass company!!! Lol. Good job everyone!!
Casey ; I'm retired , every day is Saturday . I'd have been more that happy to hop in my pickup and drive you back and forth from the glass shop . You'd have to buy me a burger of course . One snag my place in northern Ontario Canada is a little over a 40 hr. drive from the glass shop in Redmond . You'd have to wait a bit .
As often and intently as I have watched all of this content over the years I believe I can officially declare myself a TH-cam expert. I am now certifiable and ready to buy a ZackLift and change to my new life’s calling😉
Enjoy your videos, thank you for making them.
Good Morning Casey! Thanks for all you do! 💯
i must say the sounds your roll back makes are peak truck sounds
I always wondered about chaining only one side of the rear axle. Thanks for explaining it!
Great video. You are becoming a better videographer every week. God protect you in California.
Awesome reverse process
Good morning Casey
I would charge this customer a lot of money. he’s a bad customer.😂😂
😂😂😂
@@steveminton8329 I know 😂😂
I hate this customer 😅
That Casey LaDelle? I hate that guy!
This customer just kept telling how to do the job even on reverse trip. Quoted job price X 10$ 😂😂😂
and nrc might let you to suggest that they need to make left hand sliders for their wheel lift.
Love the creative editing! See you on the next video
Casey, one thing I do with the NRC wheel grids is put your clip pins in the opposite way. The bent end of the pin naturally flips down, and then your clip pin will have a default where it can't fall off.
Awesome, thank you for sharing with us.
God Bless 🙏
I'll say it again. If I had a tow company, I would pay my employees overtime to watch these videos to learn things before they learn them from a mistake. I love the play by play and the methodologies explained. Even the increase in job speed would pay for the time on the TH-cam.
Get well soon bro.
@22:30 try a boat strap winch but I don't think you'd have room to use the handle
@Casey ladelle you could weld another pinchbar receiver on the passenger side.
Made my Sunday morning
I did the reluctant swap also. I was surprisingly creative to not have to change it.
LOL... wow!
Thanks Casey!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It was a catch up show , I only noticed when I saw the flatbed wasn't painted and still had the old plank bed.
wonderful reverse
Casey must like his tow truck and his job ...
Love the fast forward Great video
If the strap locks come off you could reverse them so it's easier to lock them
Wow you work fast.. stay safe out there 🙏😊
It's done and looks great.
awesome time lapse at the end!! Thanks for another great video Casey.
Don't have safelight auto glass? Had them replace windshield in my company's trucks before..did a great job..no problems no leaks..
I watched the return home portion at .25 speed, to see if you missed any steps. Looks like you didn't forget anything, so it has my stamp of approval. I almost went frame by frame, but I don't have all day!
9:26 Always wondered about that, thanks for explaining it.
