    First time seeing a tracked Gradall for me. The ones I've seen before where all wheeled and being used on roadside ditches. Thanks.

    What a beast, I love old iron. That was awesome.

    Those are left handed drill bits. A lot of the time they will remove the bolt you're drilling out without even having to use the EZOut.

      It totally slipped my mind when I was talking about them that they are left handed thank you for bringing that up!

    I fell in love with Gradalls back in 1962 when I was 15. VERY cool machine. That gearing would look good in a horror movie! lol
    Congratulations on 32 K!! You deserve it. With all the shooting and editing time I'm surprised you sleep. lol Thank you.

    Having the camera to watch what is going on really helped. I was trying to get you to stop, but you didn't hear me, lol. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

    Brandon, very good video. I worked for 14.5 years in the storeroom for a natural gas utility. We stocked both black and galv. pipe and fittings for running gas lines in buildings. We had a very small number of 1/8 inch fittings and pipe nipples but not one time in those 14.5 years did I issue any to the field crews. Maybe they were popular in the old days but I don't think so much anymore. Maybe a plumbing supply house might carry them.

    That belly pan/gear section looks like it would be fun to clean out and do maintenance on it along with doing maintenance on the drive chains. A drive over pit would be nice to do undercarriage work on it.

    Not trying to get off content here, but in the beginning of your video, you panned by a semi tractor hooked up to your lowboy, looked like it has some nice big stacks on it. Can you give a run down of it sometime? Looks like it would make a good pulling truck for fair events.
    When it comes to digging into repairs on any piece of equipment, you are a jack of all trades 👍. Nothing seems to be too difficult or not doable, just a suggestion for extractors, a reverse drill bit set comes in handy at times, sometimes they will actually grab ahold and end up turning out the bolts after they heat up. Thank you for bringing us out here in web land along with you.

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching yes I can do a video on that truck some time there is a video of fixing a broken head bolt on that truck it's a older video of mine
