Man I was so happy for you when it moved! I've done car jobs where you think you've done everything and are just at wits end. Glad to see you smiling when you took it out on the trails!
Good to go for another 80k miles now and them lockers engaging are going to just make it even more fun to hammer down on the throttle !! Good job sir . 👍👍👍👍
Thoroughly enjoyed being along for the journey DP. Your lucky having a great team around you. Teamwork makes the dream work 🤣🤣 Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
I have watched the whole series on fixing bubadump. You and Matt did an awesome job. No oil leaks, all the brakes work, diff locks work. What a relief. Well done crew. Bravo from Victoria Australia
A small suggestion for removing and installing tires on large equipment and dual truck tires. Jack up the tire. Place a piece of metal under the tire (we used flat tin roofing ). Put a little used oil on the tin. Let the tire down till it just touches the tin. Slide the tire off. We used to pull dual tires and the brake drum at the same time when doing brake jobs on dump trucks.
Hey Bill, that's basically what we did too, except we used grease and just rolled the whole thing out of the way and when we were done we would roll it back and use the grease mark to line it back up perfectly. No lifting required!
A nice series of videos of working on the truck Mike, I`ve found it really interesting to find out how all that braking, drive and axle locking all works, when it`s all done, the effort ,care and time you`ve put into it will make that truck serve you well for many years to come. Well done to you and also to Matt for his input.👍👍👍👍👍
There is plenty of life left in Bubba Dump!!!! Really enjoyed watching you all pull her apart and reassemble to full working order, I'm not much of a mechanic but you go out of your way to show and explain the processes to repair all your plant. Thankfully you found the cause of the non moving at the end, could see your delight at finding out it was a simple fuse !!! 😁 That pump from Amazonia was not quite up the thick viscous oil, I think you probably burnt the motor out 🤣🤦♂️
Suggestion/Tip for filling the hubs up on Bubba Dump or other such jobs . Remember, gravity is your friend, so to take advantage of it in a clean bucket of your favorite size such as one that the “Dinosaur Fart” aka gear oil came in and install bung with a barbed fitting as close to the bottom of the bucket as possible and attach a short section of hose to it then a valve to stop and or regulate the flow followed by another section of hose then fill the bucket with whatever fluid/oil you using and hang the bucket from you hoist, set it on a tire, ladder, etc and fill away. Personally I like larger hose before the valve and step is down after the valve as well as using clear tubing, lastly I also like a screen of some sort on the inlet of the bung inside the bucket. I use in tank electric fuel pumps that I get from a buddy who works at a Ford dealership. I use one as a transfer pump for fuel when draining fuel tanks etc, I have another one that I use with ATF, another one I use with oils of all types including gear oil that I have let the bottle/jug/bucket sit out in the sun for a good while to warm up. PS when installing new bearings instead of using a drift to drive home you might want to consider using the old bearing race you removed. If the bear/race is recessed like the one you just installed consider running the old race lightly on a sander or grinder to remove enough material so that your old race is no longer an interference fit. Lastly when welding up a crack like you did on that housing after you are finished welding on it wrap it in a blanket (preferably a flame retardant welding blanket) to allow/help it cool down slowly. Have a nice day and a better tomorrow.
A man and his toys! What a great job you and Matt have done God bless and I hope both of your families had a great 4th of July. I really enjoy watching you repair your equipment.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see Bubba leave the shop and cruising around on its own power. From all my years of TH-cam watching the only thing I might have suggested is from the Turn Wright Machine Works channel. Before welding up a crack he recommends drilling a small hole at each end of the crack. I think the theory is by cutting away the end of the crack with a drill bit you stop the crack from any future progress. Hopefully that’s a step that’s not needed if you didn’t do it off camera. Looking forward to seeing more videos with Bubba at work. Wishing you and your family the best.
Good video again I am so glad everything worked out it started moving again good job working on it you do not give up that is why you get things done my friend be safe
Once you put that fancy grill on BD you know the amount of people telling you to paint it is going to double. 😂 I’m happy you got everything sorted out. Great content! Kudos!!
DP the smile on your face says it all koodo’s to you and Matt a big project for sure he’ll buba dump is smile climbing the hill proud congratulations 👍👋🇨🇦
DP you may have spent a small fortune to fix Bubba Dump but because you could do your own mechanical work you saved a small fortune and you’re still in it for far less than a new one. Great work, great video. It’s always a pleasure to watch this channel. Matt is a big part of the company. I hope we get to see MBTS soon
I just knew you wouldn't be able to end the video with Bubba not moving. Great Job and glad it was something simple that caused the last issue. Keep smiling and use the heck out of Bubba Dump now!
Great job. Loved watching you guys tackle each problem and resolve them. Vicariously I think I get my therapy by watching you. LOL! Tells you a lot about my mental state. But I guess I'm in good company. Way to go Mike and Mr. Millennial.
When your working with man behind the scenes you need fire extinguishers , and when you two work together you need bandages. Thanks for the great information and videos stay safe
You know Mike, there is such a simple solution over Jungle "aka Rainforest" Products. You have plenty of wall space and I find that gravity is FREE! A 20 foot hose, a shut off value, tap into the bottom of the bucket, and you'll have flowing oil from a shelf on the wall into all of those wheels hubs (Inspired by those 10 min oil change places, where the oil hoses hang from the ceiling, then pull them down to fill it up).
Well done DP! I genuinely felt sad when you started to sign off without Bubba moving! Glad it was something simple and that old Bubba is going to start earning some money! Could it be that you've fixed all the snags?!
You have a good haul truck just left is the heater and exhaust great job in the repair .when I weld with nickel and cast when done welding wrap it in a heat blanket but good job on the weld 👍
Fantastic job guys ... such courage (and parts availability in today's Supply Chain environment. Love Bubba Dump !!! But just know those mighty Lockers have a 2 fold reason for being ... one to lock all 6 wheels together and secondly, to get you stuck even further out in the Woods.
If I was closer that is what I did for 32 yrs I know when you get back to Lt Dan I will make a trip that way to see what you were thinking for the interior
Really happy you found your car. I’m your age and wish I had my high school car too but it is beyond my reach today. Live and learn. The wife and I really like your videos. Keep up the good content.
I knew you'd get Bubba moving, just took some time to engage the brain. But what absolutely blew me away is that you remembered to lower the dump bed BEFORE driving out of the garage!! 😜👍😳
Isn’t it amazing that a little nickel and dime part can keep that massive truck from moving! Think about that, the next time you crawl on a plane! Great video, glad you are getting the bugs worked out of it!
That's one heck of a project you've been through & completed. Expensive I'll wager but far cheaper than buying a low hours, later model, which STILL might have issues.
should price those old sleeves to under cut and coat or weld so you have spares for next time if cheaper than new. check with Adam Booth machine and weld shop on youtube
At 29:00 driving the yoke in. You should have put the locker yoke face down and drive the bearing down on the yoke so you are not damaging the bearings. Save the old bearing races and a driver tool after grinding the inside and outside slightly so you are not driving the balls into the sides of the grooves and shortening the life of the bearing about 80% or 90%.
Glad you got what you set out to do finished & it's doing so well. That being said, think we all now see exactly why the previous owner sent it to the auction. I think if they had a fleet of trucks to keep serviced, this one was going to be a money drain for them at the time. Still glad that y'all got it done, though.
Ah excuse me but can you move that air compressor outside or somewhere I don’t have to hear it. I listen to mine all day long I don’t want to watch your videos and have to listen to your too! And can you fix those leaking air hose connections tool. You see where I work mine leak to and I don’t want to listen to yours tool. Thank for you cooperation. In the making of your videos! Great job guys still loving the channel
She really needs some shiny new shoes too! A nice set of Bridgestone VKT's or Michelin XHA2's. They only run about $6K each or so, what $36K for the set! 💲🤑😁
You should not have set the pads with your air line now when you bled the brakes the fluid has the pads tight on the rotors instead of letting the brake fluid push the pads out, You need to crack open the bleeders and push the pads back in a little. I THINK. Good job and good luck
Man I was so happy for you when it moved! I've done car jobs where you think you've done everything and are just at wits end. Glad to see you smiling when you took it out on the trails!

Good job sir . 👍👍👍👍
Boy where you ecstatic when Bubba Dump climb that hill. Congratulations to you and Matt for a job well done! Thank you and have a great week.
Standing ovation!!! You are the man.......little things will bite you in the ass when you concentrate on the bigger issues....
Thanks

Now that is a real smile!....Good work guys!!!!!!
never a doubt about you guys making it into a good truck again proud to see the old fella amongst the living again
Mike and Matt...your knowledge and expertise makes you both PRICELESS...Very talented guys...love your site...always get to experience your talents...

OMG, look at her go, ain't she a beauty. All she needed was a little bit of lovin' care & parts. Thanks DP & NYA
It's a great feeling when things are in working order after a bit of work. It's the best feeling

Don't you love it when a plan comes together? Keep up the good work.
Mike , It was good to see you smile like that at the end . Your hard work seems to have paid off .
Glad to see the Ole Girl crawling around.
This is why we watch youtube and not TV: No drama, just a genuine smile when you get things moving and all your hard work pays off !
Thanks
DP the smile on your face says it all koodo’s to you and Matt a big project for sure he’ll buba dump is smile climbing the hill proud congratulations 👍👋🇨🇦
that smile says it all. I hope it runs well for you.
Good video guys, thanks for sharing
It's the little things that will drive you crazy and seem to take forever to find sometimes. Glad you got it working.

Fantastic work done ✔️
As bad as this may sound I’ll be glad to see Bubba take a Big O Dump. Great job DP and MM
Great job. Loved watching you guys tackle each problem and resolve them. Vicariously I think I get my therapy by watching you. LOL! Tells you a lot about my mental state. But I guess I'm in good company. Way to go Mike and Mr. Millennial.
Congrats on getting the Monster Dump in good shape! That's a lot more work than most of us could begin to handle.
Glad to see Bubba Dump working after all the work you and Matt put into it.
Good to see the big girl running again can't wait to see it with its new custom bonnet
DP, you called it, something simple was wrong, fuses installed in the wrong order, you the man!!!
Fantastic job DP! You guys rock in the Mechanic field as well as in the Dirt.
one happy dirty boy. great job
Excellent video THANKS, your the genius mechanic great job awesome work
Hard work pays off !!!

Glad you now have 6 wheel drive.
Well done DP! I genuinely felt sad when you started to sign off without Bubba moving! Glad it was something simple and that old Bubba is going to start earning some money! Could it be that you've fixed all the snags?!
Mike and Matt great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Great video. Just a suggestion to save your torque wrench. NEVER use it to break torque (loosen a fastener).
You have a good haul truck just left is the heater and exhaust great job in the repair .when I weld with nickel and cast when done welding wrap it in a heat blanket but good job on the weld 👍
We would pack our parts with lime to let them cool down very slowly. Old welders trick.
GREAT VIDEO, DP YOU ARE THA MAN.
I think you have finally broken Matt, I can’t recall when I last heard him correct you to NYA
I noticed that, too-not for a few videos now !!
just like a puppy, put his nose in his own pee a few times and it helps correct the issue , is that what happened here?? LOL
Lol 😁
You and Matt deserve a Pepsi in a gold can for all the awesome work you both did..Denis
If you plan on running at night you may want to put an LED light bar on it, also on each side for visibility. Then LED backup light.
Fantastic job guys ... such courage (and parts availability in today's Supply Chain environment. Love Bubba Dump !!! But just know those mighty Lockers have a 2 fold reason for being ... one to lock all 6 wheels together and secondly, to get you stuck even further out in the Woods.
Auction items are absolute nightmares, learned the hard way
I hope you didn’t dock Mr Millennial too much for spilling your Pepsi 😂😂😂. Good series on ole Bubba Dump
Well done 👏
$20 fuel can from Rural King. I put oil, hydralic oil, etc. in them and it makes filling thing a lot easier.
I can't believe the amount of work you guys did to this truck let's hope that will do for awhile, nice going
Are you guys done a lot of work to the truck
Way to go lads job well done
Great job, Mike! Matt, too! And MBTS the next time he shows up.
If I was closer that is what I did for 32 yrs I know when you get back to Lt Dan I will make a trip that way to see what you were thinking for the interior
You've got shop air. What you need is a sealed drum full of oil. Pump in air oil comes out.
Awesome work on Bubba Dump. I, as well, hope to see it out working making $$$'s for you DP!
Great video Mike and Matt
Life is good :)
Put some tires with big ol' knobbies on 'em and even Matt won't get stuck
Really happy you found your car. I’m your age and wish I had my high school car too but it is beyond my reach today. Live and learn.
The wife and I really like your videos. Keep up the good content.
I knew you'd get Bubba moving, just took some time to engage the brain. But what absolutely blew me away is that you remembered to lower the dump bed BEFORE driving out of the garage!! 😜👍😳
great job
Thank goodness, moving that load down that hill and the breaks were smoking I was like that's not good
Dirt Perfect said he thought it was something simple and it doesn't get much simpler than a fuse !
tires and some paint and bubba will be like a brand new penny
Isn’t it amazing that a little nickel and dime part can keep that massive truck from moving! Think about that, the next time you crawl on a plane! Great video, glad you are getting the bugs worked out of it!
good job guys
Matt missed out on the fun!! When you can stop 1/2 way up the hill and take off without spinning a tire, you got a real crawler! lol Take care
I found a pump that hooks on the drill, bigger hoses and works great. Ive had it for 5 years works on all fluid.
Awesome
Lookin' great. Now go haul something!! :-)
DP that overhead crane has got to be the best single investment you ever made.
It is
That's one heck of a project you've been through & completed.
Expensive I'll wager but far cheaper than buying a low hours, later model, which STILL might have issues.
Ok, good job. Now, take it over to C&S and let them paint it and label it. Love it.
Patience is a virtue I've read. Being a mechanic of any kind, you must have patience. How's the double busted finger?
should price those old sleeves to under cut and coat or weld so you have spares for next time if cheaper than new. check with Adam Booth machine and weld shop on youtube
At 29:00 driving the yoke in. You should have put the locker yoke face down and drive the bearing down on the yoke so you are not damaging the bearings. Save the old bearing races and a driver tool after grinding the inside and outside slightly so you are not driving the balls into the sides of the grooves and shortening the life of the bearing about 80% or 90%.
Mike should have drilled a small hole at each end of the crack to stop further cracking
Glad you got what you set out to do finished & it's doing so well. That being said, think we all now see exactly why the previous owner sent it to the auction. I think if they had a fleet of trucks to keep serviced, this one was going to be a money drain for them at the time. Still glad that y'all got it done, though.
i feel like i could definitely be useful helping someone rebuild the drivetrain on one now. lol
I got two of them they leak one leaked so bad I got a second one. You had the hoses backwards the small hose is the suction hose
Good job bossman ❤️😎
Thanks
ya you saved 20 g's in labour at least right gr8 job~!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fuse- yep- simple .... You do it nice because you do it twice ??? LOL - ya all have a great day :)
Amount of work for your presentation then doing the presentation then editing it. Wow!
Thanks
90 w oil is sae 40 /120 w oil is sae 50 gr8 job keep upda gud work
what mr. de haven says below. did ya forget the front brake pads?
Ah excuse me but can you move that air compressor outside or somewhere I don’t have to hear it. I listen to mine all day long I don’t want to watch your videos and have to listen to your too!
And can you fix those leaking air hose connections tool. You see where I work mine leak to and I don’t want to listen to yours tool. Thank for you cooperation. In the making of your videos! Great job guys still loving the channel

My bad. I spoke to soon. 🤪
