Hino are popular here in Ireland and Europe. There are small ones and big ones but I see a lot hauling concrete and some hauling stone out of quaries and they do well and last a long time
Andy , we really admire your patience as trouble shooting takes more time than someone thinks , but as another TH-camr says he’s a winner ( Jeff Paydirt would say when completing a rebuild) . Patience is a virtue. We love watching your videos and very much envy your work ethic when dealing with every project you have to deal with . All the best to you and your work group and family Sir. Thanks for taking all of us on your journey.
Andy can you buy stinger and ground cable sections that have the connections on them like an extension for your welding leads? Do they make an insulated distribution bar where you could take a short section of welder lead and ground from the welder into the cabinet like you stated and then have that feed a distribution bar where you could plug two sets of leads into it and affix one pair of connections on either side of the service body then you could start your welder and have multiple spots in the body that you could just plug your actual leads into instead of home running your entire setup from one side back to the welder and being committed to working on that side or having to unravel a large length of leads to reach a particular end or side.
That truck will be a nice a addition to your operation. I believe a good location for your welding leads would be on the side wall in the cargo area of the bed. Put some E-track up as high as you can, down the length of the cargo area by stitch welding it place and buy the J-hooks that clip into it and hang them from that. They are pretty much so out of the way and easily accessible. Then you can use the E-track to hang or secure other items as well. Or, another option is to coil them up in the bottom of the compartment under the welder on 2 separate shelves in leu of hanging them, this works just as well and uses less space in the compartment. I worked out of service trucks similar to your that were 33,000 gvw for 26 years and I was always looking to get the most out of the space I had. One last way is to put a post (pipe) off the top of the rear bumper under the tail lights, behind your vise, that has 2 "U" shaped hooks (pipe elbows) on opposite sides of the post and wrap the leads on each side. We used 1 1/2" or 2" pipe to make ours. Then use a rubber bungie strap around the leads to secure them. These are a few different ways I used for my welding leads over the years and on the different trucks I had. I wish I was 25 years younger and lived near your area I would love to be able work with you and your family. It was always a dream of mine to work on a large farm after working with my uncle on my grandmothers farm out in Minnasota as a kid. But, thigs didn't pan out that way for me. Love your channel.
What you got from that company in Charlotte we call it southern hospitality. Generally most folks are friendly and helpful unless you run into some back woods people or recent escapees from the north, New Jersey for instance.
Some notes about things to keep on the truck. A tarp to cover the ground when working. Knee pad. Safety glasses. Rags and paper towels. Hand cleaner. Chains for pulling. Zip ties. Flashlights and meter and test light and then assortment of parts that you you often need or break while farming away from the shop so you can fix it right then and there.
Hi Andy ! you have a beautiful service truck whit crane , things have to break now to see that new service truck in live action. its a joke ! i am not wish you any trouble. Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day at the farm whit that new service truck ! 🙋♂️
Watching you work off the back of that truck made me think a couple of magnetic bowls from Harbor Freight for screws and such would be nice to have back there.
Great video. If you decide to run your welding cables as described, I offer an idea if you don’t mind. Run the leads through conduit to protect them from being damaged. Don’t mean to tell you what to do just a suggestion. You are certainly a man who doesn’t need told what to do. Love the channel.
Hi team , when you started to set up the crane I was talking to the iPad saying Andy out riggers first please , make it a rule to all staff, don’t ask how I know lol all the best it will be a great asset to the farm
I feel your pain. I was in charge of maintenance on a small fleet of fire engines for almost 10 years. It was fix it myself or find someone who could. Safety lockouts get nuts. Those lockouts aren't really to protect you but generally were put in place because some idgit got hurt.
Andy, I think I have watched your channel from the get go. Always said you needed at least you need a good 350 service truck in your fleet since day one. You went a lot better and really outdid yourself. Happy for you and I am sure it will be a good investment for the enterprise. I vote for putting the welding cables in the bed in a box , save the valuable side box space for tools.
Hope you have somewhere to park it inside them electronics on the cranes don't like being in the elements outside... I hope you have some were on there that you can charge up your batteries on your electric guns and grease guns drills and all... Looks like a real nice truck to fit your needs well...
Great work truck. Good luck with it. I have a suggestion for the 2nd compartment on the passenger side. take out the shelves, and put in pry bars, axe, chains and straps. The fire dept. has some great hold down clips and fasteners if you look at the way they secure their equipment.
Thanks again Andy! 🙂 Some of the best edutainment on the planet. Nice new to you truck. That light by the (was?)cooler might get lonely, I suggest a huge boom light to keep it company.
Nice fit out and good to see a USA company giving some old style customer service. Hard to find that today with telephone call menu's pages long or overseas help lines. Hat tip to Adkins truck equipment.
Andy, check the air compresser. Where's the presser switch located. If it's like the one I have on my service truck, it's behind the gauge. Mine would build up moisture in the summer, then freeze when the weather turned cold. I took some airline and ran it down the hydraulic hoses and installed a drain valve. I did the same thing with my hoist. Unplug the safety switch and the hoist up presser switch. Then, plug the 2 together on the truck side. Simply put, you put the boom all the way up .that switch is wired normally open.
Andy, please get and read the manual for the crane. Also, read the Range Chart on the inside of that rear comoartmrnt door. ALWAYS set your outroggers BEFORE operating. Don't side load. Most all reportable crane incidents are due to operator error. If you get the manual, it should include a load chart as well. Modern hydraulic cranes are charted for 85 % of tipping load. Overiding may result in designed failure. That resulting from mfg liabity due to operator abuse. We learned that in 80 hrs of crane safety prepratory to taking the NCCO test a few years ago. Trust you'll have the best results in safe operation. Thanks for sharing. 🤎🇺🇲👍🤔😎
Andy you need to install a hose press in the rear side box I had one in my service truck very handy I could make hoses1/4 to 3/4 fittings on board also When I was in Japan there were Hino trucks that was in 1966
Great video as always, thats not an easy thing to control using the manual controls but it will make your life a lot easier when you have a breakdown in the field and need to lift something, its easy to say now but you probably needed it a long time ago, it will definitely save your back a lot of pain in the long run.
Such a great aquisition and lots of room for fluids up top and as many more tools as are needed . Its going to handle the fuel trailer very well too . A shame if you have to drive it on the wet salty roads ~
That is a very nice, clean service truck Andy. I would definitely Fluid Film the crap out of it. The Hino trucks are pretty decent trucks to my knowledge. Only thing I would change is the transmission to a manual. The truck will pay for itself in very short order with having the crane and hydraulic air comp. The tarp is a very good addition as well to keep some things dry and not frozen down in the winter. I have a friend who has his own truck, and he has the welding leads on reels in the cabinet under the welder, but there is a pass-thru door with fairleads out the back end with a flip-up weatherproof door. It works pretty slick, and it does stay dry in the cabinet as well. It takes the cabinet space away, not all of it, but it's a good compromise because it saves time, and a guy gets tired of wrapping up leads pretty quick. The cables are connected with short leads from the welder to bulkhead connectors, and to the reels inside the cabinet. The torch hoses are on reels as well as his extension cords. The reels actually free up some room if you really think about it as you would have to commit storage room somewhere anyway and still have the hassle of rolling them up by hand and throwing them around several times a day. Some nice aluminum wheels would really look good on there if money would fall from the sky for that kind of stuff.
Hey Andy, I thought you should have left the water jug on the truck. I have noticed this year that you have started a couple of small fires! Would be good to have some water when it happens. Great video, and nice used truck for your operation. Thanks much for sharing.
Good fix on the 'two block' switch! My first new engine drive was a Lincoln GXT-decent machine. They will stick weld and generate dirty power for non-critical sources. My blood ran red until I picked up a Miller Bobcat250 on the cheap-that thing was 120 on both legs no matter the load, ran my LN25 feeder pushing shortarc or dualshield ,the Lincoln wouldn't. It was angry with 29v,but took it! Upgraded to a Pipepro 400 Mitsubishi in February,that bastard will weld!! 400 amps and only idles up to 1800rpm max. Oh,and remote!
As a former crane operate the first thing you did before operating the boom was to have the outriggers in place. This should be a rule for all that operate this unit.🌴😎
Consider having some method of keeping track of missing and or needed parts or tools. Does not need to be any specific method just have ALL operators record items used and or broken/etc.
Nice looking service truck bonus with the air and Crane. Those trucks turn on a dime there is more and more of them in North American locally there use to be a lot of their cabovers units nice thing is that the ones like what you have use more standard North America parts axles brakes etc
Always an adventure with auction buys. In the South, we try to be helpful, even to the Northern folk.🤣🤣 Jk, good service is just that, doesn't matter where you go. An equipment dealer around here had a sign that said "The bitter taste of poor service lasts longer than the sweetness of a good price".
If only that was a Knaphide bed lol! Locally built up here in the corner of Illinois and Missouri! and of course Iowa. I think originally it was Missouri side but now very big in Quincy north side of town
It looks as though I might have some distant relations in the USA. The Truck Company has my surname. A great uncle of mine lived in America in the 1930's as a consultant miner. Will you need some LABELS on the drawers to save you remembering what is where ?????
harbor fake gotta love you !!! though i hate them , a word from former customers ; Kermit & Myron Fasset of springfield ny ; "doesnt seem to matter which brand you PLANT , they all grow the same" ... true story .
Andy's prowess shines again. Great analysis figuring out the lift problems and fixing them.
Good luck with the new service truck 🚚 It's an impressive upgrade for all the fixing and fabricating 🛠👍
Hino are popular here in Ireland and Europe. There are small ones and big ones but I see a lot hauling concrete and some hauling stone out of quaries and they do well and last a long time
Adkins are good people. Used to live about 5 miles from them. Now it’s about 45 minutes away. Very nice truck. Glad you got the remote going.
Going To be nice for brake downs shop on wheels 🎉 Thanks Andy 😊

Thats a camouflaged beer cooler beer cans in the bottom ice on top and some water. You have water for the day and beer for the end of the day
Exciting to see the crane truck coming to life.

Lol the north doesn't claim NJ. Not really "north" anyway.
Nice truck for the farm shop! Adkins sounds like a good bunch of people to do business.
And now you know why many people get ...um....creative with the sensors.
Out riggers first ANOTHER very nice video Thank you Andy 😊😊😊😊😊
Enjoyed the video. I think you will use the crank more than you thing!
I think Andy is waiting for the first break down to play with the crane.
Some notes about things to keep on the truck. A tarp to cover the ground when working. Knee pad. Safety glasses. Rags and paper towels. Hand cleaner. Chains for pulling. Zip ties. Flashlights and meter and test light and then assortment of parts that you you often need or break while farming away from the shop so you can fix it right then and there.
You got a great truck there. It looks super clean. Nice detective work on the switches….
Hi Andy !
you have a beautiful service truck whit crane , things have to break now to see that new service truck in live action.
its a joke !

I was also
Good looking rig. Time is money and will pay for itself over time. It's great to know you are getting the support especially with used equipment.
I feel your pain. I was in charge of maintenance on a small fleet of fire engines for almost 10 years. It was fix it myself or find someone who could. Safety lockouts get nuts. Those lockouts aren't really to protect you but generally were put in place because some idgit got hurt.
Great troubleshooting Andy. Design engineers installing microswitch safeties in an outside environment are asking for future problems.
Awesome video thanks Andy for your time and consideration top job top team 😊🚛🚜🚛🚜🚛🚜🌞
Great truck Andy! Hope it does y'all well!!! Yes I am here in Tennessee!!! Nothing but good luck sir!!!
Andy that utility is really nice. That truck will come in handy on the farm.
Andy, I think I have watched your channel from the get go. Always said you needed at least you need a good 350 service truck in your fleet since day one.

You’re getting good use out of the tale bummer already. A sweet truck .
Good finding them safeties.
That Toyota motor is bulletproof Andy.
Well ware. 👍🇺🇸🇮🇪
25:32. That's a nice new office you've got there.
Another great video Andy love watching them look forward to every new one.
Great work truck. Good luck with it. I have a suggestion for the 2nd compartment on the passenger side. take out the shelves, and put in pry bars, axe, chains and straps. The fire dept. has some great hold down clips and fasteners if you look at the way they secure their equipment.
Nice truck! Keep it clean and simple. Just plug in the welder leads as needed if only using occasionally.
Thanks again Andy! 🙂 Some of the best edutainment on the planet. Nice new to you truck. That light by the (was?)cooler might get lonely, I suggest a huge boom light to keep it company.

Nah hino is a Toyota company 😂😂😂😂
Great truck and fault diagnosis. Top stuff young man!
Such a great aquisition and lots of room for fluids up top and as many more tools as are needed . Its going to handle the fuel trailer very well too . A shame if you have to drive it on the wet salty roads ~
Nice purchase Andy great repair.

Nice work Andy, truck is sweet!
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
I was close. Figured 22k. No doubt it will serve you well. Always better to under work equipment.
Andy, have you thought about adding a portable plasma cutter on your maintenance truck?
Really nice addition of equipment for ur operation
You will love the Auto Crane. You probably have a dealer in Syracuse. Ask your propane dealer. A lot of their service trucks use Auto Cranes.
Good fix on the 'two block' switch! My first new engine drive was a Lincoln GXT-decent machine. They will stick weld and generate dirty power for non-critical sources.

Very cool service truck
Andy, looks like you have a gem there in your new service truck, outstanding find for your operation. Any new construction walk thrus coming soon??
Good video Thank you for sharing.
Farmer fixes , get er done till I get the new on . micro switches are like donkeys stubborn but when they work they work
I knew you would get that crane figured out!!! 37:26
Consider having some method of keeping track of missing and or needed parts or tools. Does not need to be any specific
method just have ALL operators record items used and or broken/etc.
Nice rig. Florida Joe
Nice ride Andy.
You should fluid film the under side of it to keep it from rusting, keep it rust free, nice rig
Finally got Jered helping too
As long as you like it that's works for me.😊 Just hammer down
Nice looking service truck bonus with the air and Crane. Those trucks turn on a dime there is more and more of them in North American locally there use to be a lot of their cabovers units nice thing is that the ones like what you have use more standard North America parts axles brakes etc
In Canada we call them hee no
Andy me thinks you might need to beef up the rear end leaf paks. your back side looks a little low? Great fix em
Always an adventure with auction buys. In the South, we try to be helpful, even to the Northern folk.🤣🤣 Jk, good service is just that, doesn't matter where you go. An equipment dealer around here had a sign that said "The bitter taste of poor service lasts longer than the sweetness of a good price".
Good timing I got a four hour ride home lol
Need to gets reels for the leads it is really nice to just pull them out and then just reel them back up
Andy good luck with the service truck now you have a work bench and the crane no working on ground an cover to keep what’s in bed dry👍🚜🧰
If only that was a Knaphide bed lol! Locally built up here in the corner of Illinois and Missouri! and of course Iowa. I think originally it was Missouri side but now very big in Quincy north side of town
Andy a few more items and a 2 way radio and side work lites and you will be ready
21799 was my guess Andy, was close.
The sensor on top you are talking about is the Anti Two Block Switch.
I’m positive you will get it goin sir looks like a great addition to your fleet. Is the vice a Wilton ? Looks pretty healthy.
👍👍👍👍
That particular model is at least made here in America, just outside of Parkersburg, WV.
The sensor in the boom cylinder is for overload. That what is was on all the service trucks I ran.
Fixing is in the name. ;)
It looks as though I might have some distant relations in the USA. The Truck Company has my surname. A great uncle of mine lived in America in the 1930's as a consultant miner. Will you need some LABELS on the drawers to save you remembering what is where ?????
I have repair stuff like you have Andy they say they have made an idiot proof there’s nothing idiot proof somebody out there will screw it up
You try to idiot proof it,but they keep making better idiots
If you leave that water cooler on there, you can always fill it with ice and beer..
What yields better cheap or expensive tools. Vicegrips and 1/2 wrenches don't grow good, tho.
Fine looking service truck did that come from lebannon tenn
I wonder if the faults from the broken stuff kept you from being able to sync remote in the beginning.
A few flashers and strobes might be nice
Busy work where r your worker bees? Working by yourself?
What about an inverter to charge cordless tool batteries?
Nice unit!!
Overall how do you like harbor freight tools?
Hello!
I would have guessed there would have been more weight added with the welder and torch setup
That little thing by the hoist is a limiter switch
harbor fake gotta love you !!! though i hate them , a word from former customers ; Kermit & Myron Fasset of springfield ny ; "doesnt seem to matter which brand you PLANT , they all grow the same" ... true story .
