That is a Flextrack Nodwell FN 110. Worked in alaska in the 70s and 80s. Our camp was seismograph. had Fn 60s, Fn 110s. FN 160s with big crew cabs. And Fn 240s that had vibrators on each end. Given the right job it was given was a great machine. The vibrators on those 240s just wrecked them. The FN 110 was my favorite. Heavy suspension no broken spindles. They were all loud as they had Detroit 2 cycle engines in them. From 3 35s to 6v53s. Screemers. Some had auto matic transmissions. Late ones came out were Chieftains that articulated in the middle. Surveyors had big cabs that had insulated glass so they could set up their instruments inside. They were made by a company in Calgary Alberta Canada. Foremost
Well that was a nice adventure , very luck that the Jeep did not roll over sliding down the embankment ! Each job is really more like a mini vacation with all of that awesome country to see !
as a teenager, we’d do stuff like that in our Jeeps. But we always went with a bunch of guys so that when we got stuck at least we could dig or pull ourselves out. We were too poor to have winches, so we did a lot of “winching” with HiLift jacks and rope.
Love the noddy shows your a very thorough man before leaving with your equipment and the stop moment brilliant glad to see you educate people on a safer method props Casey always enjoy your vids
WOW WHAT A GOOD JOB WELL DONE AND NO ONE GOT HURT AND THAT A BLESSING AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE BUT COLD WELL THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS YOU TRAVEL AMEN AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND STAY SAFE AMEN
Your numbers keep climbing. Yeah! Casey back in the mid 1940s my father worked for a 'wrecker company" . I've missed out on his stories. Dad died 2014. Now my dad was driving for the wrecker company while he was in high school. My dad was strong and muscular and about 6'1". The gentleman he worked for found out that dad didn't have his drivers licence. If you were big and could drive well some things got overlooked during the war years. He finally got his dl after Mr. Sineath said he had to for insurance. After graduating from High School he worked 30 years with the Greensboro Fire Department obtaining rank as Assistant Chief. He was forced to retire in 1978 for medical reasons.
@@es77233 It was Sineath Wrecker Service in Greensboro NC I notice your last name You must be a son or nephew. I think it was off North Elm Street. If you knew him he was Asst. Chief Russell (Carnell) I just looked up Kirk-Sineath on Patton Ave Wow still going strong!
I'm glad you continue to include alot of the scenery on your way to and from the calls. I may be the minority but just watching one wrecked SxS after another being loaded on a trailer isn't all that interesting after about the 3ed time without an additional reason to watch.
Thanks. You can make mistakes and poor chooses no matter how long ya been doing this. Learning and improving is pretty important to me. Working with what ya have on hand sometimes becomes a could have done better moment.
@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery I lived in a "continuous improvement" situation for many years. Given the rate of change we live in, that is really a survival trait, and something we should teach our children.
Hey Casey !! Thanks again for the ride !!! Yepper !!! CLOSED hook up is always the way to go ,,but sometimes have to use what you have for sure !! Anyhows,, Have a good week & looks like WINTER has started out there !!! CA. needs ALL the SNOW they can get to put those ""WILD FIRES "" out !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!
I’ve been a city slicker most of my life, but I sure like your choice of music or instrumentals, just makes you want to keep an upbeat attitude! Nice recovery of a whoa nelly stuck Jeeper......
He did well not to roll that thing and If he went off where Casey turned around it would have been on it's roof for sure. Thankfully another successful mission. I like how honest he was too.
@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery If it's real loud, wear hearing protection. The alternative would be to put some heavy insulation on the cage around the engine so it isn't as noisy. I lost part of my hearing while in the Army since we didn't use any hearing protection back in the 1960's or when deer hunting.
@@Harry-zz2oh I lost a lot of my hearing from working around loud machines. I now have loud ringing in my ears every minute of every day. your advice is spot on.
Casey, you have been one busy dude and thanks for sharing, I like your new swag. Make some available to the Casey Off Road Recovery fans and remember to stay safe .👍
Nice step stool you have there. It would be embarrassing to mod the Noddy to a chassis cab unit. Cool that you inserted the closed-loop update. I've seen(and done) lots of scary things in my time as have you I'm sure. Comes with the territory but be as safe as possible while getting the job done. Nice work. Thanks for taking us along.
@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery Thanks! Your Noddy must be a 110. I'm looking to buy one and have found a couple. One had Detroit 371 and another a 5.9 Cummins. What is in yours? BTW: I'm a Duramax guy too; have a '19 and love it most of the time. Your channel is outstanding, keep doing what you do!
@@kevinwinchell9496 yes itnis a 1966 110. Great machine. It originally had a V8 gas. For some reason they put in a Straight 6 ford industrial. Love to jump it up to a cummins P pump
You're right Harry, but being from Minnesota (25 degrees below zero here last night), I have plenty of experience managing diesels in cold weather.....
Hey Casey, I think when you tie down the Snow Cat you are supposed to use a separate grade 70 or better chain on each corner as per DOT. That was a great recovery, and no harm done to anything or anybody
Great videos!... The snow cat needs a 4 door truck cab mounted to the snow cat have warmth wipers and enclosed 👍🏼 just a crazy idea I thought give you, keep videos coming.
Somthing to keep in mind is that the lock rings on your wheels face outwards on the Nodwell when going over rough terrain like rocks and stumps they could possibly blow outwards and do some damage to whoever is walking beside the machine. Don’t let anyone walk beside you. They are standing in the line of fire of a ring cannon. Lol
Casey, your videos are getting better and better. This one is awesome. I love the snow rooster tail behind the Noddy. But can you please explain how that Jeep landed down there without rolling?
Also add a couple of snatch blocks to your tool kit. It would allow you to winch from the side and redirect the winch line. Properly setup it will allow you to double the pull power of the winch line.
Love the video have watched it a couple of times but you need to close in the cab and build a cabin for people to ride in with a heater it would make a way better recovery vehicle it is a great platform to start with.
Great video! I love my Factor 55 Ultrahook - closed loop system capabilities the Flatlink gives you, plus a lockable hook! I'd ditch the D-ring shackle in the setup you showed when installing the flatlink, and just connect the soft shackle directly to the flatlink.
Yes reducing one more connection point. I like that as well. Great company with amazing support. Not sure how many know it, but Factor 55 is owned by Warn Industries.
@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery I think I saw sometime last year that Warn bought Factor55. I've got a Warn Zeon on my JK, though the only time I've had to use it so far was when I slid off the side of my driveway :D
I've never gotten over the thrill of when my excavator pitches over on the trailer either. If i ever do it will prolly be very bad. Respect that inner voice. Can you get track parts for the noddy? I'm not familiar with that profile. Great vid. Thanks

The welding glove comparison to the non effectiveness of the masks was excellent. Glad to hear you are normal.
You have to respect the humble edit to the video regarding the open hooks and saying this was not the safest.
I'm glad he inserted the "correction" for his forgetfulness. Now he has the right setup to do the job.

I never fast forward any of Casey’s videos ya never know what going to happen next thanks for the ride 👍👍

Nodwell to the rescue. Nice recovery.
The customer looked a bit bummed on the ride up. But he'll savor the recovery experience in years to come.
Wait till he gets to pay
@@kingtut5923 LOL. He will learn to drive more carefully in the future and buy good winter tires.
Any video with the Noddy is going to be a great video! Today's was no exception.
The Noddy got the nod today great job that jeep was in there. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Love the noddy shows your a very thorough man before leaving with your equipment and the stop moment brilliant glad to see you educate people on a safer method props Casey always enjoy your vids
NODDY VIDEOS! I've been waiting for some winter videos. Nicely done Casey. No damage and no drama. Well except for the open shackle part.
Wow! Off in the ditch doesn’t describe it. That must have been pretty exciting for a few seconds!

The snow recoveries are my favorite vids to watch . You could almost put a slide back tow bed on that machine .
Thats a hell of a machine you have there .Nice recovery with no apparent damage done to the jeep .Bet the owner was pleased to get it out of there .
My wife and I were up there today and it was beautiful. I made sure to stay on the paved road though lol.
Awesome recovery. Even more difficult than it looked. I like the Miller welder/stepladder.
Nice surprise to see this in my inbox!
DAMN!!..dude in the ditch has my dream vehicle!!..niceeeeee
Isn’t it nice when you have exactly the right tool for the job?
That's what she said
It was cool seeing the
nodwell ripping it up down the slopes after the jeep recovery. I give it a 10

So the sign saying road closed wasn’t just a suggestion after all?
It appeared to say "Road Closed." But on closer inspection it says, "Proceed another 10 miles into the snow and ice,"
Funny 😄
Good job Casey and crew. You couldn't of done that with the snowmobiles, ha ha ha. Take care and be safe out there.
You got that right!
You’re awesome! You get the four wheeler fix most days!

Missed this episode of "My Jeep is stuck sum " till a year after it aired .. Great viewing all the same ;-}
Love the new sweatshirts!!!
Casey, you are a genius.
Now that is a vehicle that I would call pretty well stuck. Glad he was ok.
Man that's a beautiful view. You are blessed!
Dont get me wrong I love Matt. But I feel your videos are the real deal and not a production. Loving it.
Exact copy of how Matt used to do it.
Great video, extraction and PSA. Thanks Casey.
Casey you need a bomber hat for when you use the nodwell . It would just fit perfectly 👌
Yes you need a bomber hat. The same kind cousin Eddie wore in national Lampoon's Christmas vacation. How much $$$ is a tow recovery like that?
Boy he was lucky not to roll that jeep. Good job getting him out!
Bruh, I want to like your videos, I really do, but that's 5 minutes of action in 30 minutes. Learn to edit!
He did well not to roll that thing and If he went off where Casey turned around it would have been on it's roof for sure. Thankfully another successful mission. I like how honest he was too.
Love watching the Nodwells in action
That called being deep in the ditch! Enjoyed
Talk about living on the EDGE good job Casey.
Another double feature today?
Thanks Casey!
Nice scenery! The Noddy is not to loud, but that has got to be cold! That jeep driver sure got lucky it didn’t rollover sliding down sideways!
It is loud while your moving along. It is like riding in an oven. That little motor puts off some major heat.

I bought 3 soft shackles because of this videos. Good advice, thank you.
You are right, I would have bet dollars to donuts that he would have rolled over.
Beautiful country. Hope you hunt it!. Over and out, take care and be safe!
Great video thank you!
That track vehicle is a beast, I will be watching more...I lived on a APC track vehicle for a year, was driver, machine gunner, track commander...

Very cool!
you should make some doors for the nodwell some sheet metal and some hinges pretty easy project
Then it would be an oven.
@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery You could always get a set of doors from a tractor and use them. They are easy to remove when the spring arrives.
A convex mirror in front might make loading on the trailer a little easier
Hey Casey, I think when you tie down the Snow Cat you are supposed to use a separate grade 70 or better chain on each corner as per DOT. That was a great recovery, and no harm done to anything or anybody
Probably should.
It's called a rolling load. and DOT will cite you for it.and it's not a cheap fine.

pull from the side ??? Might come in handy.
