The truck coming loose in the spring reminds me of a guy in high school who fixed up a 4x4 F150 with his dad. First day he drove it to school there was a big pile of snow where they pushed it all in the parking lot. Not the one to waste an opportunity to show off he decides to drive that truck up the snow pile. Everything was going great until he got to the top and high centered it on that snow pile about 8 feet off the ground. So he calls his dad from the school office for some help. His dad said don’t worry it’ll be right where you left it when the snow melts in a couple months. And there it sat until spring break when the snow melted and he drove it home.
Our MEA (Michigan Environmental Awareness) teacher gave us a teachable moment when he drove his station wagon out onto the bay and it dropped through the ice.
Me and a buddy used to have a competition every morning at high school, who can ram their 4x4 truck further into the snow pile 😅 one day the principal got to watch on the security cameras as we skipped class to pull his chevy out of the snow lol
@@BruceS42 doesn't sound like he had many friends if they didn't find a way to get it out within a couple days.. Me and my boys woulda been there with shovels after school was out lol
Your story about the Indian who revealed the secret to telling which way was south reminded me of a similar incident. I was working outside in a lumber yard with a crew unloading a truck. One of the crew, who wasn't very bright asked an Indian on our crew what time it was. The Indian shaded his eyes with his hand, squinted, gazed into the distance, and said, "It's 2:26." That's when the guy noticed that the Indian didn't have a watch and asked how the hell he could tell time. The Indian told him, "I'm an Indian. Indians don't need a watch. We can tell time by the angle of the sun." The guy noticed that I had a watch so he asked me what time it was. I showed him my watch, and it was 2:26. The guy asked the Indian for the time a couple more times that afternoon, and the Indian would go though the same routine and tell him the correct time. Later that day, when the guy noticed that everyone was laughing at him every time he asked the Indian what time it was, I pointed to the bank just up the street which had a sign with a digital clock.
Swearing your way from one challenge to another. All the winter, every winter. From a man who realised the chains to the tractor, that was supposed to be mounted some weeks ago, now are frozen to the ground under 30cm of snow.
It's just to remind you to put the chains somwhere indoor, or at least under a roof next spring. Even a pallet is better than on the ground. I hate rusty frozen tire chains on the ground!

Being from Australia I never understood quite how bad living in those conditions could be until I decided to go camping in the snow. When the snow started bucketing down and we tried to leave one of the vehicles suffered from gelled up diesel. It was at that moment I started to learn my lesson about how rough the snow can be. I will never know how much equipment I lost that day, but I sure do now appreciate it when I can put something on the ground for longer then 30 seconds, without it being lost under a blanket of snow.
To prevent gelling of the fuel, you use Kerosene instead of Diesel. It is basically the same fuel, safe for diesels....and military jets and airliners. When high in the sky the air is mighty cold. In Bublefucks case he has to warm up the block by using fire to liquify the diesel in the lines and in the filter. Which is gonna take a few cans of coal. If the hood is plastic, it is not a good idea.
I just love I'm watching this while I'm stuck in a ditch here on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois because I slid out from packed snow waiting for a tow... oh the irony

Hello from Florida, Last year we had some freezing nights, wouldn't you know. The car battery decided to hibernate its energy probably thinking the north was warmer so i figured i could take the Brand new tractor over to it and give it a good ol' cardiac zap to revive it til realizing the brand new tractor also had a dead brand new battery. (%}{^#>!!!) Last year that the same night, caused several outdoor expensive plants to throw in the towel and say the heck with Florida winters. If you woulda saw me singing my own version of profanities... After watching your video just now, seeing all that snow... you gave me my patience back after thinking having one disappointment after another messing up my backup plans for a dead start and feeling as helpless as taking a wiz in the freezing cold and suddenly realizing you got a frozen zipper. thank you for your motivational video. big fan of all your commentary.
Your MJ impersonation 'bout knocked me outta my chair. I love snow, especially when it's thousands of miles away from here. Down here, we get a little snow about every 10 years, which is about right. Regards, Duck
Especially when the glove is on the wrong hand! Ironically, when on the shameless pile of dirt we had down southern ways, it was my tractor that would get stuck (usually down by the lake in the muck) and it was the 4x4 I would have to employ to make the retrieval. 😆 As the mantra of my dirt mound goes... "Nothin' can ever be easy." When I lived in the very north western Rockies of Montana, we had large, roundish. ounds of snow on the roads. Be there all winter, til spring came and the Volkswagens were thawed out... 😆 (yeah, they're OK in the winter, cold but, ok) unless the snow plows come down the street a couple times, then they're buried for the duration. 😆
Appreciate this, the swearing is exactly what my Dad sounds like when the snowblower doesn't start, or that one time we had to change a starter of my 87 F150 on the ground in the street on a 20 below day, good memories.
4 or 5 years ago I helped my cousin put a blower motor in his wife's mini van after dark, in -20f, on the side of the gravel road. We both said some things we later regretted

What's the temperature out there on Hoth? Had 18 below, science here yesterday. The 'ol Massey wasn't too keen but she started. Jokes on me tho, since I had to take the chains off, on account of fuckulating the fenders. Dropped a crane attachment from the 3-point onto the wagon I was pulling. Jammed it. Got stuck on an incline and had to desert everything but the tractor itself. Would have saved me a lot of grief if she didn't go that morning.
Plowing parking lots one time, we did the lot of an electrical distribution warehouse, I was warned to stay away from one side of the lot where they stored the pipe on pallets under the snow; so imagine my surprise going along on the other side of the place under the sodium lights at 3AM in a blizzard when WHAM and suddenly the truck's pointed the other way around, I had driven too close to a forkamalift with 8' forks for picking up said pipe pallets conveniently resting under a foot of the white stuff. Gave me a right turn and blunted the damn edge on my plow, spilled my coffee to boot.

Hearing you work on solving this problem sounds eerily like my reflection in the mirror. In my family, it's known to just walk away lest sensitive ears find offense as I "fix" stuff.
Reminds me when I put my dad's truck in a ditch, had to crawl out the drivers side which was now the top. Dad laughed and helped me shimmy it back onto the road. He was probably just happy I chose the ditch rather than flying into the ravine. I was speeding and couldn't stop for a turn in time, so I picked the ditch. Good times. Glad the snow was forgiving that day and not hiding anything with more mass underneath.

This is the real-est Canadian story ever told! Bonus points when it happens in the pitch black of the early morning. Bonus Army wisdom: tarps and coals or Coleman stoves are good with cold diesel, but a high-ish BTU direct fire heater and some tarps is good-er. In either case, when it still doesn't start because there was another problem, the metal will atleast be a bit warmer.
Thanks for the giggle! It brings a little sanity to my never ending pile of….knowing it’s not just me. Thankfully it’s a wee bit more tropical here on the other coast.
I know exactly how you feel ! Lived in Nebraska over 60 yrs. 100+ deg. With 100% humidity at times in the summer and maybe -20 in the winter when the wind felt like it was tearing the skin off your face! That’s when this kind “good luck” always happens!!🥶
The urge from the beginning to write down a comment: just wait till spring with the tractor. And then he says just that in the end. Patience is what saves us.
As soon as the battery snow became visible I knew where this video was headed. 10,000 BTU kerosene blower pointed directly under the truck melts the firm water.
I learned my lesson years ago, any equipment that gets run in the snow needs 1/0 welding cable run from the battery to a good Anderson connector. A lot less faffing about especially in the cold.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Entertaining as always... BTW, the small booster paks work miracles in these situations. Also, pull the starter relay and warm it in the palms of your hands. Did a trip in Kewbec last year yonder, ski doos actually hate the cold...
In case of another situation where you need all the onions out of the ol ferd pull the ABS fuse under the hood it will turn off all the nannys and torque control (kills power when theres to much tire slip even when traction control is turned off) then you can really feed it the beans. When you pull the fuse there will be some lights on the dash but they will go away after you put the fuse back.
Is that the fuse that counteracts the fact that his truck is supported by the body with snow, and is thus believed to be "high-centered" in the modern vernacular?

"I hope its safe to assume red is positive" sums up winter in canada so well
Snow? But it's 81 degrees and sunny out! Oh, that's where I am, not where you are. 😁
This is exactly how my day went at work. Rebuilding a dump truck bed. Every few minutes I was reminded of never fcking ends.
Laughed out loud a few times this video. Thank you so much I really needed it! ☺️
Haha it’s a nice feeling to know I’m not the only one who has to do 5 things before I can do the one original planned objective 😂
And with the days this short you need all day to prep for the project and by the next morning it’s all frozen and snowed in again.
@@jessepitt @NathanToth haha yep exactly! It’s like the saying keep lowering your expectations until you can achieve them…
Only 5 things? Look at Mr. Fancy Pants and his cushy life. My 5 things each have their own 5 things, and that's if I'm lucky.
I Believe it called that the project before the project
@@jessepitt Paint Cans with charcoal and tarp replenished every hour all night should get the tractor started so you can put the chains on it so you can try to yank the frozen truck after you ......... or ..............
Have you just considered jacking the truck up and putting short bits of lumber under the wheels to get the undercarriage off that lump? 🙄
What's the internal temperature of a tauntaun? Lukewarm.
That's the Inception level dad joke.
Hello from Florida,
Last year we had some freezing nights, wouldn't you know.
The car battery decided to hibernate its energy probably thinking the north was warmer so i figured i could take the Brand new tractor over to it and give it a good ol' cardiac zap to revive it til realizing the brand new tractor also had a dead brand new battery. (%}{^#>!!!)
Last year that the same night, caused several outdoor expensive plants to throw in the towel and say the heck with Florida winters. If you woulda saw me singing my own version of profanities...
After watching your video just now, seeing all that snow... you gave me my patience back after thinking having one disappointment after another messing up my backup plans for a dead start and feeling as helpless as taking a wiz in the freezing cold and suddenly realizing you got a frozen zipper.
thank you for your motivational video.
big fan of all your commentary.
Your MJ impersonation 'bout knocked me outta my chair.
I love snow, especially when it's thousands of miles away from here.
Down here, we get a little snow about every 10 years, which is about right.
Regards,
Duck
Thats a pretty green lawn ornament you got there. Did you get the matching gnome to go with it?
Ooof, that was cold... Good one!
@@7head7metal7 LOL, so's the diesel in it ;P.
my Aunt from Havre de grace Maryland started giggling when AvE spoke French, I learned some French and Family history too, Thanks AvE.
Especially when the glove is on the wrong hand!
Ironically, when on the shameless pile of dirt we had down southern ways, it was my tractor that would get stuck (usually down by the lake in the muck) and it was the 4x4 I would have to employ to make the retrieval. 😆
As the mantra of my dirt mound goes... "Nothin' can ever be easy."
When I lived in the very north western Rockies of Montana, we had large, roundish. ounds of snow on the roads. Be there all winter, til spring came and the Volkswagens were thawed out... 😆
(yeah, they're OK in the winter, cold but, ok) unless the snow plows come down the street a couple times, then they're buried for the duration. 😆
A guy can spend all summer getting ready for winter and still have to do this dance. It never ends...
Appreciate this, the swearing is exactly what my Dad sounds like when the snowblower doesn't start, or that one time we had to change a starter of my 87 F150 on the ground in the street on a 20 below day, good memories.
4 or 5 years ago I helped my cousin put a blower motor in his wife's mini van after dark, in -20f, on the side of the gravel road. We both said some things we later regretted
had to do that on my 96 f150 after an injector stuck open, flooding it, and broke the nose right plum off the starter.. -24F really sucked that night.
Story of my life. Thanks for sharing. It somehow lifts my spirits knowing I’m not the only one.
Loved it! I think you forgot the camera was there for a moment and really gave us a look at ourselves in those “why you no chooch” moments. Through you do we laugh at ourselves, and through laughter do we forget that our purpose is simply to serve butter.
I truly sympathized with your plight (lived 8K ft up in the Rockies) UNTIL you thought that a John Deere product might be your salvation. I can only say, "You shoulda seen that one a million miles away".

What's the temperature out there on Hoth? Had 18 below, science here yesterday. The 'ol Massey wasn't too keen but she started. Jokes on me tho, since I had to take the chains off, on account of fuckulating the fenders. Dropped a crane attachment from the 3-point onto the wagon I was pulling. Jammed it. Got stuck on an incline and had to desert everything but the tractor itself. Would have saved me a lot of grief if she didn't go that morning.
I'm just on the other side of the rock pile from him, was 30 below science here.
Plowing parking lots one time, we did the lot of an electrical distribution warehouse, I was warned to stay away from one side of the lot where they stored the pipe on pallets under the snow; so imagine my surprise going along on the other side of the place under the sodium lights at 3AM in a blizzard when WHAM and suddenly the truck's pointed the other way around, I had driven too close to a forkamalift with 8' forks for picking up said pipe pallets conveniently resting under a foot of the white stuff. Gave me a right turn and blunted the damn edge on my plow, spilled my coffee to boot.
Grew up in Ohio bout 45 min south of lake Eire. Moved to Las Vegas two years ago.
I can still feel every once of pain of what he’s going through.
It truly never ends. The cold ruins everything.
So does the Las Vegas heat🤦
Jeez, you even said "Hello, tractor" this time. Sometimes life just ain't fair dude.
Remember that swearing is the emotional analog to a pressure relief valve. Better to let of some pressure before something ruptures.
That truck, she’ll come out fine in the spring.
🤣 😂
This is beautiful. Life as a man all summed up in one vid.
Royal flush of Zero on gauge!!!!! You’ve made my day 👍👍👍👍👍🤣
So talking about getting it out in the Spring my friend who was on Army exercise in Norway during the winter his BV 206 (a four tracked two cabs type vehicle) won’t start and it was snowed in on a hill, the Norwegian Army said we’ll recover it in the spring.
Good old Hägglunds. Even got them in my Country a bit more south. Must have been a tight spot or a shedload of snow for it to get stuck.
@@marikann9073 Not sure of the exact fault on the vehicle I said won’t start it may have been a mechanical failure. The lads who were collected were in a out of food and cooking fuel by the time they were collected.
Glad to see I’m not the only one with 3 pairs of wrong gloves.
Stuck my truck in the driveway and stomped the last quarter mile to come sit on the can and watch this of all things. It truly never ends
Heh. “She’ll come out just fine in the spring” should have been the first words you uttered when you looked at the tractor.
I love seeing video of my life, as told from someone else's perspective.
"Everything goes slower in the cold"....well, except my nose, that runs like a bastard!
"you getting a cold?" NO! it's just flippin colder than a witches titty out!!
Yeah, the world feels upside down when your nose runs and your feet smell.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Damn, you're right on the mark!

0:38 I love it when you make my quebec-wair wife giggle and repeat you good french phrases from her perch in the kitchen
and your left handed gloves are with all the lost 10mm stuff
Im a simple guy. I hear "Hello tractor" and I upvote
Hearing you work on solving this problem sounds eerily like my reflection in the mirror.
In my family, it's known to just walk away lest sensitive ears find offense as I "fix" stuff.
It is encouraging to see that I am not the only one that goes through the "one job means multiple fixes" scenario.

Reminds me when I put my dad's truck in a ditch, had to crawl out the drivers side which was now the top. Dad laughed and helped me shimmy it back onto the road. He was probably just happy I chose the ditch rather than flying into the ravine. I was speeding and couldn't stop for a turn in time, so I picked the ditch.
Good times. Glad the snow was forgiving that day and not hiding anything with more mass underneath.
The worst is when you're high centered on snow, you got all the wheels cleared but the car is floating and the exhaust isn't going to help..
Many times with my 67 Fairlane and a couple times with a 92 F150 :)
@@longbow6416 you think thats bad, try getting high centered on some sand and the tide is coming in. Nothing puts the fear of God in you like the threat of needing to file insurance paperwork.
I did something similar with a LandRover several years ago. Pulled over onto the grass verge, which the farmer had neatly cut. Yes, all cut to the same height, including the grass in the 3 foot deep ditch.
@@pnt1035 Just three feet? I know places where the 'ditch' is a slit trench at least 6 feet deep. And the shoulder is all of about a foot wide. And that's the side of that part of that road that DOESN'T get crashes on it.
Who would’ve thought having Pirelli race day track tires on 21 inch rims on your Ford F-OneFiddy would lead to such a situation???
I appreciated the OCD moments...matching gloves are really important!! 🤣
Thanks for reminding me to bring my tractor battery in the house!
Omg the gloves had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Not me.
Why? They´re all right.

@@GREATLORDPOOH I should have placed the exclamation point at the end of "too". The soul of which surrounds the object, is likely the soul of the previous caretaker of the object. However I tend to believe that the modern nature of todays junk will be devoid of any soul regardless of who touched it. It's disposable junk. How do you pass down junk?
I have tools from 4 generations of millwrights, myself included. The soul-factor is definitely there. Especially the people who remember the tools, which seems odd. However I have had people recognize the fact I'm using my forefathers tools and it gives me pride knowing my tools are of good quality. But my crash kit or any tools I purchase for singular jobs would be damn shameful to pass on! Hahaha thanks for the BS
Take care!
You know stuff is serious when AvE brings out the frog swear words
That looked suspiciously like some unauthorized Dear John maintenance... expect a green & yellow swat team any minute.
It's this that makes me appreciate living in a temperate climate (-34 South Latitude) next to the ocean. No snow, hot dry summers, cold wet winters... NO SNOW!
Had to do that same walk of shame just last morning. Had to get the wife to man the controls of my one tonne, so I could get my freightliner back into the driveway. Turns out diff locks don’t function great in -40°. The more you know.
Love your videos Ave!!! Glad to see that i am not the only person who owns 100 pieces of right gloves.
Well, that explains a lot. I didn't know you were a bohunk. Thanks for the smiles. I needed it, as the weather here in San Diego was a coolish 65F and drizzly.
This is the real-est Canadian story ever told! Bonus points when it happens in the pitch black of the early morning.
Bonus Army wisdom: tarps and coals or Coleman stoves are good with cold diesel, but a high-ish BTU direct fire heater and some tarps is good-er. In either case, when it still doesn't start because there was another problem, the metal will atleast be a bit warmer.
Time to grab a magnetic oil pan heater from Princess Powerfist
With all the plastic parts on modern machines, I wouldn't be surprised if that Deere has a plastic oil pan.

Thanks for the giggle! It brings a little sanity to my never ending pile of….knowing it’s not just me. Thankfully it’s a wee bit more tropical here on the other coast.
Wait for it, our’s is coming, it ain’t feb yet.
I know exactly how you feel ! Lived in Nebraska over 60 yrs. 100+ deg. With 100% humidity at times in the summer and maybe -20 in the winter when the wind felt like it was tearing the skin off your face! That’s when this kind “good luck” always happens!!🥶
Did pretty well on the cursing. I admire your restraint.
The urge from the beginning to write down a comment: just wait till spring with the tractor. And then he says just that in the end. Patience is what saves us.
As soon as the battery snow became visible I knew where this video was headed. 10,000 BTU kerosene blower pointed directly under the truck melts the firm water.
... AND the insulation on a number of wires. '63 Dodge Dart, -60 F in AK, turn on the wipers and the horn sounded off.
Al the philosophies of life in a 5 min TH-cam video about trying to starting a frozen truck. We live in a time of wonders.
Every damn time! Almost spit up my beer when I saw the backwards glove. Probably the best video yet.
I learned my lesson years ago, any equipment that gets run in the snow needs 1/0 welding cable run from the battery to a good Anderson connector. A lot less faffing about especially in the cold.
Good words.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Entertaining as always... BTW, the small booster paks work miracles in these situations. Also, pull the starter relay and warm it in the palms of your hands. Did a trip in Kewbec last year yonder, ski doos actually hate the cold...
Grew up in North Dakota and we used to say that frozen ass truck that driveway that needs shoveling will get fixed by the two sisters…April & May.
Making me appreciate my 80F winter down here in Houston! I'm going to go drink some coffee on the patio with my shirt off.
In case of another situation where you need all the onions out of the ol ferd pull the ABS fuse under the hood it will turn off all the nannys and torque control (kills power when theres to much tire slip even when traction control is turned off) then you can really feed it the beans. When you pull the fuse there will be some lights on the dash but they will go away after you put the fuse back.
You guys look at the lights?!
Is that the fuse that counteracts the fact that his truck is supported by the body with snow, and is thus believed to be "high-centered" in the modern vernacular?
@@rbnhd1976 what’s the point of having lights if you’re not using em
@@phipear lights are for rookies
Another beautiful Christmas story.
Reminds me of why I don’t live in the snow anymore.
You handled that as well as can be expected.

Man this was my day of sorts. Almost quitting time. With lots of pain. Ya know. You don't know you went to far until you have went to far. I went to far. Thanks for sharing. Gonna go put my junk in a vise.
As I watch this from Tucson, AZ, I reflect on the reasons why I decided to leave the Great White Midwest for the winter. I do not envy your tasks, sir.
