      buy a gold mine.....short answer no! the equipment says they werent pulling enough ore out to be worth keeping the mine going.... yes there is or was enough gold there to warrant the equipment and humanities greed says if it could pay they would be working it. if you have the money for a shitload of geo servey it may make a reasonable return on investment but reality is unless you can sell your spoils itll be a money pit. now if it were full of lithium or rare earth minerals its worth it

    Would love to see some gold mining content from you and your crew. Getting Fred Dodge involved is solid advice, not only could he give you good info on equipment condition but also how to make it more efficient. He could also give insight into where on the property to mine or where gold should be. Even if you don't go the gold mining route I'll still keep watching your recoveries. One thing tho next time you get under 5+ ton loader arms make sure you have some sort of safety stop. In the vid may have had one on the other side, especially when working with older equipment. Even if it was that awesome telehandler under its bucket just in case. Couldn't believe how beast it was with that smaller crawler. Didn't seem to be too much for it at all. Good content sir keep it up please.

    You'd better give us a "will it start" on that smaller track loader after the huge tease this video was! I'll definitely watch it!

    @HeavyDSparks I'm sure you know and someone has mentioned it before but you could always setup a portable secondary tank with a pump and hoses to hook right into most diesel equipment and just run it off your secondary tank.

    I was surprised to that dozer move like it did. The hydraulics working, the tracks not ceased, that it ended up running under it's own power.
    This was a pretty cool recovery, thanks for taking us along. Would be cool to see the gold mine.

    Good afternoon Heavy D, I totally enjoyed your recovery in the episode.
    Your team are some of the best group of guys.
    The synergy of your team and organization it awesome.
    Nice seeing people working good together.
    Really was pretty exciting.
    I loved seeing the Komatsu get started and running and driving out of there under its own power.
    Great video!
    Thank for sharing, EM.

    Old guy here and I was taught and used ATF down lines to help loosen crap in the lines, in the fuel filter when replacing, and in the tank for cold weather (a quart per 100 gallons).

    I was REALLY rooting to see that tractor start up, much like I was when the guys were trying to get that turbine powered de-ice machine start. Thankfully, this one started!! BTW, did that de-icer ever start? We need closure!! 😁🇺🇸

    Industrial Gold builds one hell of a compressor! A good friend that has a welding shop bought one after my recomendation since I had been using one in my body shop for over a year without any issues. Anyway, he didn't have it installed for more than a couple of months when he had a water seperator blow apart in the middle of the night. He isn't sure how many hours the compressor ran, but when he opened up the shop that next morning it was full of smoke. He killed the compressor, found the bad seperator and replaced it, then changed the compressor oil. The thing took back off and there was 0 pressure loss. It worked like a new one. John and his guys definitly do it right.

    Not only would I like to see you buy and work that gold mine, I'd love to be a part of it. I love that kind of thing, but obviously I'll have to settle for just watching you do it. Looking forward to whatever you decide to do. Keep upthe good work and videos fellers.

    I actually can’t get enough of these guys. Been watching since the very very early days on the tv and have been obsessed since. Bring on a whole day of videos 🤣 The editing is on point. The team is just perfect together , the comedy , work ethic and all around genuine respect they have for everyone and everything is just so heart warming and inspiring. I’ve been growing my beard for years trying to catch up to Diesel Dave (I’m just over half way there) just thank you to all the hard work of every single one of you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️❤️ one of your true fans and long may it last. Massive Love , respect and luck from Ireland 🇮🇪

  • @medea27
    @medea27 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm with you Dave - I'm a Makita gal through & through. 👍 I grew up with Makita tools because my dad (a builder & rally car builder/driver) swore by them, and they always prove themselves worth the upfront cost. My dad's circular saw (bought in the 80's and used almost daily for 2 decades) still works perfectly. We got one of the first cordless drills Makita released in the 90's & my friends dubbed it "the Mighty Makita" because it was used for everything... from dad's construction jobs to dismantling furniture for friends. The only reason I don't still use it is that they don't make the batteries anymore. You definitely get what you pay for!

    Loving your channel. Great content. Long-time lurker. Some constructive criticism... If you work on a 'dozer engine, find the bucket arm restraint (for a lack of a better word). If the hydraulic actuator fails, arms will be in harm's way. Take care.

      50-80V AC or DC? No probably not. Also they'd have to have a grounding rod stuck. And electricity takes the path of least resistance so the first pole that touches ground.

    I absolutely love your videos. I watched the one where you recovered the D7 that had been buried for years and you commented about the difficulty of getting the lowboy trailer to follow the tractor. You guys should design a steering system for the rear wheels of the lowboy, similar to what hook and ladder fire trucks have, but without the need of a steering guy on the back end. With all the geniuses on your crew I’m sure you could come up with a design that worked.
