We managed to get the Weatherill loading shovel started in the previous episode - Now we find out if it will move once more after 18 years stood in the same place !
In the early eighties, me and some mates were given a job by a local business man. He had bought a bungalow, but didn't like it so he gave us the job of demolishing the old one so he could build another. Being teenagers at the time, we had an awesome time, jumping through ceilings. Ripping the roof to pieces. Charging through plaster board walls. Smashing down walls with sledgehammers. All without a single piece of PPE. Apart from scratches, a marvelous time was had by all.
It was wonderful to see your frustrations evaporate as the problems were ironed out and the old girl blew off the cobwebs and began to really perform - and beyond expectations ! Well done ,sir. Perseverance paid off. Top vid
As someone who has actually worked in health and safety your rant was pretty much spot on. So many people assume you are supposed to gear yourself up as much as possible when that simply isn't true. Its all common sense. unfortunately common sense is so damn rare.
I also spent several years in an HSE role in the oilfields and it was about staying safe and looking out for each other - not just covering the companies arse by making everything impossible.
Hear, Near well said Mucker. You made an old man very happy, I never thought after 40 years i would never see let alone hear the old girls back again. I shovelled thousands of tons of silage, shit and corn and the old girl never missed a beat. We had a contractor in with a D 8 dozer clearing sarcen stones to make a new field, some of the stones were that big we had to push side by side. You have never heard a noise like it. Thank You for bringing back all those happy memories, I could all most smell the hot oil again !! Cheers, Poth
That old girl still wants to work!!! 👍 Excellent work getting her back running AND moving!! I very much enjoy these videos!! Thank you for your hard work!. 👌 I'm casting my vote for the Manitou....my apologies to the Wheel Horse, but she'll have her day.
Lord muck you are so right I'm sick of this weak arse society where everyone loves to play the victim game and have to blame their own inadequacy on everyone else bar themselves. Love your videos 👍👌
As an American, yank to you, I do appreciate your scolding of the idiots that comment on every little thing a person does as if they could even begin doing it to begin with. Here in the US we have gone completely crazy and honestly cant compliment a person for even the simplest thing. While much like you Brits we need to come together and get strong against all the evil that is attacking us, i.e. terrorist, communist, etc., and not worry about a few brambles.
Well done mate. Seeing the smile on your face when she moved said it all. I am 70 and agree fully with you on all the pc and safety stuff. Common sense has gone out of the window. We were always aware of the risks. Today they are unaware as they are put in cotton wool from an early age.
Loved the rant, health and safety has gone ridiuculous, You need a form these days to do a fart. You've got my vote! Keep on doing what your doing. I love old engineering and vehicles.
I have been using a brush cutter for thirty odd years, I do wear a helmet and face screen ( one to many stones) but what gets me now is clients want certificate of competence . Absolutely Brilliant will it start of the fantastic old loading shovel, persistence paid off . Your channel is absolutely brilliant, and agree with your thoughts on this out of control P C world .👍👍
Pushing up that soil with all the noise, you can't help but smile😃. What a beast! Top work your Lordship. 👍🏻 Would love to see both at somepoint, but Wheelhorse please.
Very nice to see the old Michigan moving & working. Well said, far too many candy asses are taking away the fun in life. A little pain teaches us how not to f**k everything up. Wheelhorse progress would be interesting but I'm good either way. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels to you & dog on your venture to Wales.
I absolutely hate dealing with stupid people. Stupid people should not reproduce. Love your videos Mucker, keep up the good stuff work. You know you did the job right when you’ve broke something, have extra parts and are bleeding. That is a seriously awesome machine. Does he move? Damn right he does and right back to work he goes. Outstanding. The wheel horse or forklift. That’s a tough choice. Wheel Horse then forklift? Either one is great. Thanks brother.
I agree with you, Kurt, on safety kit. Enough to do what you need and … no more. The people who haven’t twigged that you just took off your eye protection are the people who: have never operated bench saws/drills, never used a grinder or concrete cutter, never cleared scrub, never pruned/felled any trees and do not know what is like to be lying on your back whilst constantly having to clean your safety glasses of crap; and … get a job done. I could list quite a few other tasks BUT you probably get my point. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
Top stuff Kurt, she's got some grunt for sure, seen some tracked shovels do worse. Was waiting for another hose to pop, suprising they held! Hope it finds a good retirement home where it can do some useful jobs. Would love to see the old Manitou come to life...
We had a weatherill loading shovel just like that for loading trucks in the yard ,but I got used for all sorts of jobs ,demolition of buildings, straightening tail boards ,and on the odd occasion snow clearing for the council. It was a powerful machine and very manoeuvrable loader . Nice to see you get this old girl back moving soil like she was supposed to . Great video mate, iv signed up for more . Best regards uncle Franko 😊
Well said, its about time we got back to basics and fought back on the PC crap..this country is a mess, water companies can dump chemicals and sewage into the rivers, potholes cause road hazards and thats OK..however if you want to use a ladder you need a working from heights qualification..not sure how but it needs to be rolled back and get to enjoying the good stuff
Definitely the Manitou for the next video. That loader was so worth getting going, it really wanted to live again. Hopefully it will be a bit more loved from now on.
When I was 14 (nearly 40 years ago) a farm I worked on at weekends and school holidays had one just like this one. It came from the National Coal Board (NCB) It brought back great memories looking in the cab and I remember how cold the steering wheel got in the winter with the aluminium wheel knob, plus the noise from the cab brought it all back as well, sounds lovely for about an hour but pretty tiresome after that!!!! As many others have said common sense isn’t very common in this day and age and I agree 100% we need to fight back otherwise what is there left of everything we have all worked for. Progress is good and I am glad it’s not like it was when my grandad was a young man, however it turns my guts to see youngsters with no understanding of what has gone before and truly how good life is now in comparison to the past. I am certainly not expecting then to keep me when I get to retirement because by then they won’t even be able to wipe their arse let alone mine!!!!!
Had to watch this video a couple of times to see just how amazing this shovel is , sounds amazing with the 6 pot roaring away , & non stop pushing into that pile of soil , to good to end up in the brambles again 😢😢Would like to see manitou 😊😊👍👍
As a forklift/agricultural engineer I’m totally with you on the mostly Yank will it starts, were they changed every fluid before they even get a bang out of it utter nonsense, get a bang and move then service engines and transmissions etc, I’ve done my fair share of buying crap (as the wife says) and get it going 👍 love it👍👍 great channel ,
It's one thing creating content just for entertainment - it's another thing to do the same but trying to educate and demonstrate to others at the same time. Preparation and cost are very important factors
@@LordMuck I think for me personally it’s the love of old machines and there fantastic build quality and the fact they have stood the test of time, a good battery and tinker here and there Bang you have it running,, basically anyone can do it with basic and the right instruction and information and very little money , that’s the appeal 👍 keep up the good work.
Hello mucker!! Awesome will it start and will it move video!! That is because all the good stuff you do that i kept, and i will keep watching your videos! keep it coming!! Lets see the will ot start on the manitou!!! Cheers mucker!!
I know how ya feel Lord Muck. I had to remove a very badly designed snowplow attachment from my E140 for the season and I was flipping the eff out. Eventually it came out but it was its usual awful self. I didn't throw things or hurt things but cursed so loudly in the garage that objects like metal panels on my car and the garage door resonated from my shouting. All good now, forward progress! I will have to redesign the locating pin bracket as it keeps spreading out, bodging up the works. I did clean the mower deck (BADLY IN NEED OF IT) and spray it down with WD40 and removed, sharpened, and replaced the three blades. Battery powered impact guns are a MIRACLE!!!!! It's a pittance compared to what you do but it was good progress.
Great video .I think you’ll find that most of the PC people as you have stated haven’t been off the couch.Then again it makes me wonder why the owner of the loader didn’t do anything about the loader when it was no longer needed since it was in a running condition?The Manitou should be an interesting piece
Had a Steiger articulated tractor will it start in the early 90’s. A farmer had paid someone to install a new engine, but then the mechanic walked off the job. Sat for years and he hired me. I got it all hooked up, put one wheel back on it, and got it running. Had no brakes and the articulated joint in the middle was really loose but, drove it around a bit and called it good! Farmer was pleased and I was paid. Fun times!
Obviously there are People that haven't a clue what sweating and humid weather plus dust (or Wooddust in my case) is doing to people who wear Glases... You just do what works! Everyone else: Please sod off & watch Teletubbies
Brilliant video and you saved a good machine all with your skill , knowledge, and common sense . Looking forward to your next video mucker, what ever you decide to fix and repair . All the best.
Manitou . Awesome getting that bucket moving. You did forget to do a pre safety meeting and analysis , a lesson learned post job and safety observations . I am so glad to be retired.
I agree with your rant on the current state of health and safety (more bubble wrap, please...). If our fore-fathers had been this namby pamby, we'd be eating everything cold and raw. Fire is dangerous... lol Great video and good job getting the shovel moving and working again!
I would like to see more on the wheel horse😊 it was good to see the old English wheel loader four wheel drive moving again I would love to own the .loading shovel.
Well said Sir! As you said the more protection you sometimes think you need is a complete waste of money and doesn’t help!. Oh dear cut finger 🤦♂️! Don’t tell HSE !🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the good work!
First 10 mins in nd you got my sub--right attitude right thinking-no pc bs good for you fella......many years ago we dug a old Kockums skidder out of a bog in North Wales (Forestry kit) all you could see was the roof!!---the guys still use that machine now!
The tricky part of workplace safety is when you get put in unsafe situations to make someone else rich. I've been in a few. My first boss in a full time job was old school and had no idea of, or respect for workplace safety. Lifting people on forklift tynes was a regular activity, refuse and you get yelled at and belittled in front of your colleagues. Safety cages are super cheap. I refused to lift the boss one day, got yelled at, sworn at, the other guy (who actually had a forklift license) did lift him, bumped into something and the boss nearly fell from 5m up. Return spring came off the forklift accelerator, no one did anything about it until I hopped n and nearly sent it through a pallet rack. Literally skidded to a stop nearly touching a corner support. Engine still revvung it's tits off.
Common Sense... dictates that standing on tines is dangerous and not maintaining equipment is stupid. You shouldn't need a book or a law to tell you that.
@@LordMuck if common sense was common, we wouldn't need restrictive laws. Yet the boss got paid 4x what I did to make those sorts of shitty decisions. This was 10+ years ago when I was a lot less confident in telling bosses to shove their dangerous decisions up their overpaid arses too. Finished the video now, that loader definitely wanted to be saved, well done 😊
What a lovely bit of kit I can’t understand why they would have just stood it up in the first place … brilliant video…. And I would personally prefer to see the Manitou
What a cracking machine that is, even after 18 yrs of sitting idle it's still itching to get back to work 👍 needs some more TLC and a tidy up and it'll be roaring away for years to come. As for brush cutters, they're great machines right up to the point you hit a big black slug or a barkers egg hidden in the grass🤣😂🤣
In the early eighties, me and some mates were given a job by a local business man. He had bought a bungalow, but didn't like it so he gave us the job of demolishing the old one so he could build another. Being teenagers at the time, we had an awesome time, jumping through ceilings. Ripping the roof to pieces. Charging through plaster board walls. Smashing down walls with sledgehammers. All without a single piece of PPE. Apart from scratches, a marvelous time was had by all.
Hi mucker looks like you had a semi on driving out those ruts 😅🥒👍
It was wonderful to see your frustrations evaporate as the problems were ironed out and the old girl blew off the cobwebs and began to really perform - and beyond expectations ! Well done ,sir. Perseverance paid off. Top vid
Some of these comments you receive wind me right up? Even though they're aimed at you!
That's a hilarious story!! Bring back the good times right? 😅😅
As someone who has actually worked in health and safety your rant was pretty much spot on. So many people assume you are supposed to gear yourself up as much as possible when that simply isn't true.

shovelled thousands of tons of silage, shit and corn and the old girl never missed a beat.
We had a contractor in with a D 8 dozer clearing sarcen stones to make a new field, some of the stones were that big we had to push side by side. You have never heard a noise like it.
Thank You for bringing back all those happy memories, I could all most smell the hot oil again !!

Lord muck you are so right I'm sick of this weak arse society where everyone loves to play the victim game and have to blame their own inadequacy on everyone else bar themselves.
Love your videos 👍👌
Yup!. I reckon all 'warning labels' be removed and let 'natural selection' take care of the rest!. 🤣
100% agree with your little rant, couldn’t agree more!!!
Rants are for German dictators - I simply say it how it is.
“Men in cloth caps and overalls built this country; men in suits with briefcases destroyed it.”
Absolutely right. We are doomed to fail as a civilization because it's not 'cost effective '
Love it sir. Your "cottonball" society comments were great!! Love the videos and love the pups! Keep it up. From across the pond, it's all thumbs up.
As an American, yank to you, I do appreciate your scolding of the idiots that comment on every little thing a person does as if they could even begin doing it to begin with. Here in the US we have gone completely crazy and honestly cant compliment a person for even the simplest thing.

What a great old tool Mucka, all credit to you for persevering with it. Nice to see some working hydraulics..........Manitou.
I have been using a brush cutter for thirty odd years, I do wear a helmet and face screen ( one to many stones) but what gets me now is clients want certificate of competence .
Absolutely Brilliant will it start of the fantastic old loading shovel, persistence paid off . Your channel is absolutely brilliant, and agree with your thoughts on this out of control P C world .👍👍
Forklift. Good job
Long time watcher of Diesel Creek and caught your visit at The Steam Show in U.S..Will now also watch your show. Great job.
Well said Lord Muck. Far too many soft hoors and pencil pushers who think they know better in this country now.
Pushing up that soil with all the noise, you can't help but smile😃. What a beast! Top work your Lordship. 👍🏻
Would love to see both at somepoint, but Wheelhorse please.
Very nice to see the old Michigan moving & working. Well said, far too many candy asses are taking away the fun in life. A little pain teaches us how not to f**k everything up. Wheelhorse progress would be interesting but I'm good either way. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels to you & dog on your venture to Wales.
Give it to them,you're doing it they are not....just enjoy watching you do things I'd normally do, but can't physically anymore.
I absolutely hate dealing with stupid people. Stupid people should not reproduce. Love your videos Mucker, keep up the good stuff work.

Would love to see the old Manitou come to life...
Manitou Please .That loading shovel is a star ! 😉
I cannot believe she pushed that hard without breaking something. What a machine! Would love to see the Manitou going. Nice one mucker
Excellent result 👏 really enjoyed the work ethic, skills, and common sense approach mucker.
It amazes me why people just dump decent machines with not a great deal wrong with them. Great will it start video.👍

Great video Manitou
I'd love to see the Manitou back to earning it's keep again!!
Manitou . Great video. That machine would be perfect for rolling the clamp and you have got it going just in time. Spot on 🎉
Well said, its about time we got back to basics and fought back on the PC crap..this country is a mess, water companies can dump chemicals and sewage into the rivers, potholes cause road hazards and thats OK..however if you want to use a ladder you need a working from heights qualification..not sure how but it needs to be rolled back and get to enjoying the good stuff
I saw the river pollution video - absolutely disgusting.
Thank you for saying what you said. Love the videos and look forward to seeing your dog.
That's great that old loader moves and functions, I'd like to see the Wheel Horse!
Good effort captain.
Very satisfying to watch 👍🏻
Good to see the Weatherill working , well done ! would like to see the Manitou next please !
That was great 👍 👌
Definitely the Manitou for the next video. That loader was so worth getting going, it really wanted to live again. Hopefully it will be a bit more loved from now on.
I remember getting one of these running as an apprentice at Warwick wards Barnsley. Some lovely old stuff in there yard 👌👌
Manitou will it start would be great to see

Brilliant exactly spot on with your comments about the safety gear requirements
Absolutely outstanding, what a cracking machine, so much power in a fairly short chassis. Manitou please.
Wheelhouse ,just for something different,sort of size machine that a lot of viewers could mess about with in their garage shed👍
...fantastic ! ...loved your rant too ... manitou/ wheelhorse, yup...
Manitou . Awesome getting that bucket moving. You did forget to do a pre safety meeting and analysis , a lesson learned post job and safety observations . I am so glad to be retired.
Nice one it better myself i can't stand all these people who are worried about getting their hands dirty or worrying about I might hurt themselves
Good video mate. Don't worry about the negative comments, just keep moving forward. Greetings from Down Under.
Stick a modern toe tip bucket on it and it could load wagons all day long, well done mate.
The toe-tip for it is just behind it in the brambles !
I agree with your rant on the current state of health and safety (more bubble wrap, please...). If our fore-fathers had been this namby pamby, we'd be eating everything cold and raw. Fire is dangerous... lol
Great video and good job getting the shovel moving and working again!
Manitou
Great pair of videos. We are just on with doing a terex 72-51 that has been stood for 7 years so hopefully we will have as good a result as you did.
That's what my 6-71 is out of
More good stuff less dumb sh*t should definitely be a new t shirt line
It's already in production due to popular demand !
Great video , enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼. Manitou. 👍🏼
Forklift
Straight on the forecourt of the local dealer.. "as new.. ready to work"
Fantastic to see an old machine coming back to life .
MANITOU video for me .more good stuff
Nice job, great old machine 👍
You're a proper bloke sir! And you do everything the correct way saftey wise its our duty to keep the old ways alive
Well done! Wheel Horse! As a guy who spent hundreds of hours on one much like that and wrenched on it a fair bit over the years, that's my pick!
Manitou svp
That smile when you moved it into the yard says a lot. Although, it looks very ungainly. Please do the forklift.
I would like to see more on the wheel horse😊 it was good to see the old English wheel loader four wheel drive moving again I would love to own the .loading shovel.
Well said Sir! As you said the more protection you sometimes think you need is a complete waste of money and doesn’t help!.
Oh dear cut finger 🤦♂️! Don’t tell HSE !🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work!
great speech we need more like you!
Well Done Mucka. Manitou.... It looks like that there is a Perkins 6 354 engine in that loader, and the Perkins are a very good engine.
First 10 mins in nd you got my sub--right attitude right thinking-no pc bs good for you fella......many years ago we dug a old Kockums skidder out of a bog in North Wales (Forestry kit) all you could see was the roof!!---the guys still use that machine now!
Haha, "What would Diesel Creek do". Well, I know what I did? I hit that subscribe! Just because I love content like this!
Manitou, please! 😃
And what a fantastic machine this is! Runs like a champ. 😎
The tricky part of workplace safety is when you get put in unsafe situations to make someone else rich. I've been in a few. My first boss in a full time job was old school and had no idea of, or respect for workplace safety. Lifting people on forklift tynes was a regular activity, refuse and you get yelled at and belittled in front of your colleagues. Safety cages are super cheap. I refused to lift the boss one day, got yelled at, sworn at, the other guy (who actually had a forklift license) did lift him, bumped into something and the boss nearly fell from 5m up. Return spring came off the forklift accelerator, no one did anything about it until I hopped n and nearly sent it through a pallet rack. Literally skidded to a stop nearly touching a corner support. Engine still revvung it's tits off.
Common Sense... dictates that standing on tines is dangerous and not maintaining equipment is stupid. You shouldn't need a book or a law to tell you that.
@@LordMuck if common sense was common, we wouldn't need restrictive laws. Yet the boss got paid 4x what I did to make those sorts of shitty decisions.

Finished the video now, that loader definitely wanted to be saved, well done 😊
What a lovely bit of kit I can’t understand why they would have just stood it up in the first place … brilliant video…. And I would personally prefer to see the Manitou
Watch the first video
@@LordMuck I did … and and I enjoyed it
Amen to the Rant, well said, common sense should prevail. Trouble is so many of the younger generation lack a single ounce of it these days!
Hearing and seeing that took me back to the late 70’s 😁😎👌🏻👍🏻
Lovely peace of machinery :)
Simply say, great video, keep it going.
Keep up the fantastic work my friend. We enjoy watching all of your videos. 😎
That was an amazing video, possibly the best you have ever done, even beating the Polar Bear's Belarus and that was an epic video. Manitou for me.
Manitou Mucker. Great result. That would have been some beast back in the day.
great video,i think it's called dynamic risk assessment in the world of people who are not keyboard warriors we look at the job and say it'll be ok
Big congrats mate
Well done
There’s plenty of life left in that old girl
I’d like to see both for the next videos
Forklift. Yeah it moves with awesome power thumbs up from me 👍
Ready to go out on hire 😁 Great video 👍🏻 Manitou
What a cracking machine that is, even after 18 yrs of sitting idle it's still itching to get back to work 👍 needs some more TLC and a tidy up and it'll be roaring away for years to come.
As for brush cutters, they're great machines right up to the point you hit a big black slug or a barkers egg hidden in the grass🤣😂🤣
👍👍 right on feller...wheelhorse...👊
Torn between the two, whether wheel horse or forklift, just can't decide 🙏💯👌
Really enjoyed this will it move and the will it start.
My vote is for the Manitou
Enjoyed that video like you’re sensible approach to coaxing her back to life !! That machine needs put back to work lot a life left in her
I just went and threw my grinder guard’s away after watching this lol keep up the good content man
Common sense tells you 'put the f*cking guard back on' or if it's in the way 'Be careful'...
Awesome video thanks mucker 🚜🇬🇧
