Just wiggle it a lil more no need for pliers or anything to separate winch extension just a lil more wiggle will git er dun and that's definitely what she said 🤣
@@iffykidmn8170 No he didnt. The guy said it was because he didn't have anyone to drive the backhoe while he was on the dozer, because his wife doesn't know how to drive the backhoe. and also mentioned that he's skated the dozer all the way down the hill when the pavement was covered in ice and slick like that. You just weren't paying attention I guess.
So true, it only takes a minute to dig it out but could save the tree from dying. Depending on the pull, type of tree, type of rope, cable or what ever it can cut right into the wood allowing insects to get in, cut off important protection for the tree and other damage. And from the videos trees are not as common there as other places so once a tree dies it could be a long time before another one is big enough to anchor to.
I laughed so hard when I seen this, people never stop to think about the impact all the recovery gear can have. I grew up in the logging industry in Central interior of B.C. seen those tree saver straps used and seen chains used.... damn they chew up trees fast..
@@TheNut302 its true, hook up wrong and that tree might not be there fpr future generations. In BC like here on the east coast trees are all over the place but there they seem few and far between. Now here in PEI we don't have rocks. Not a rock in sight. Little stones and along the beach you find boulders from all over the world that sailing ships use to use for ballast to get here then they loaded up with lumber and left the rocks right where they unloaded them. Other thab that all we have is a bit of sand stone which can be soft an flaky. When we get on the main land we go nuts looking at the stone cutouts along highways. Its a serious thing my friend. Lol have a good week everyone.
That is hands down the nicest scrap yard / junk yard owner i've ever seen in my life. They don't exist at any of the places i've been to in central Alabama.
When I was a kid my neighbor had a Gravely with a 24" mowing deck and a sulky, which mad it a riding mower. He could practically bush hog with it. He also had a roto-tiller for it. Back then the Gravely was pretty much the Swiss Army knife of small farm equipment.
I still have one. The second one I’ve owned. Still going strong! First one I owned was made by Studebaker when they owned Gravely. Rope start, would about take your arm off on occassion!
Its really cool that you can impress an old timer. You know he has seen a lot . But i don't think he has ever seen a truck like your's. Keep up the great work . And you got to play with the claw .
Paul when adding extension strap In the loop you put a small branch , bit of wood across ways so the loop does not crush down. then when you finish it fall apart, no need for pliers that an damage rope...been doing it since 1985 because it works
Gravely tractors were built in Dunbar,wv and then manufacturing moved to Wisconsin. In these parts there are gravely’s on nearly every farm. In good shape they still bring good money and are nearly indestructible. Gravely is still a brand, but mostly only zero turn commercial units. They also made an extremely heavy duty rear engine riding mower that to this day will still bring 2k plus$. Hugely popular with the old timers that had the funds to buy them back in the day.
My father ran those 7 1/5 hp gravely as his goto yard business for 30+ years. Other than a blown headgasket that takes a half hour to change. Bullet proof machine.
My parents owned a small engine sales and service center in Berrien Springs MI. I think they owned every attachment and several Graverly devices. Also many David Bradley’s the precursor to craftsman. My dad use to use them to move cars around. Amazing what a 1hp engine can do with a little leverage. Very cool to see one again.
Gravely’s were the Swiss Army knife of yard equipment. When I was a kid one of the older gentlemen around the corner from me had one and I was absolutely obsessed and amazed at them. He had a plow blade to push snow, a rototillar and what I assumed was a cultivator to run through the garden rows to push the soil back up around the plants among other attachments.
Paul needs to take the football challenge with that excavator - pick up and move a football from one stand to another without damaging or dropping the ball.
It's "grave-a-lee". If you run one and you're over forty, you'll feel it for several days. I've had 3 machines in the past, I'm 71 now, and I look on them with fear and trepidation. Good for 20-30 year olds, very rugged, and much cheaper than a tractor.
I love that I'm not the only one that refuses to go anywhere without tools. Granted i normally take more than the fabrats tool pouch. Gotta be prepared for anything 🤷🏻
The Rat Rod Wrecker is awesome, the FJ is amazing but I have to say I think my favorite in your fleet is the old wood truck. Keep doing what you do and thanks for sharing it with us.
What is the first thing I see as they walk into Jeb's office? Next to the counter is a Ford Flathead V-8 and truck tranny! You've hooked me right there!!!
where you joined the two straps together just put short piece of broom handle in between the loops and it will just pull out and you can free the straps a lot easier.
I was thinking the same thing. I've also noticed that sense they have been sponsored by factor that typically you will see Paul with a piece of fruit instead of hitting the gas station roller dog section.
Hey, we stopped by the shop yesterday. The green power wheels the boys were unloading was in the creek behind the merc shed. Had a nice visit with grandma. Sad we missed you. Hope you had fun with Merlin.
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know you are very beautiful and obviously ppl don’t see that you are smart and very intelligent ppl don’t see what you actually do with the business aspect of things like behind the scenes you may not know a lot of things about fixing cars and trucks but that doesn’t mean you don’t know stuff so keep up the great work you and all the fab rats team you guy’s rock and keep making great videos and remember don’t let the haters get you down have a great and wonderful day love the videos
I just have to give a shout out to Michelle for the awesome editing on that Factor75 advertisement. There was a lot of precise cuts she had to do to make those three yahoo's look good and she did a damn good job at it.
Gravely's are awesome! (Grave-Lee.) T-head engines with all roler bearings inside. Third member built for a truck. I had several plus just about every attachment when I lived in snow country. My favorite attachments were the Dog Eater and Snow Cannon snowblowers. Even made it to the 'Best of Craigslist with that one - search 'Gravely Dog Eater Snowblower Attachment'.
My grandpa had gravley mower at the fire station it had a large deck and duals he used to go like scat bot i think it was close to 10 acers that he mowed thanks for bringing back the memories and great to see the wrecker out doing it's job . Chris
Every time Paul states "it was over at that point," while a customer is explaining what happens, he cracks me up. You can hear the years of his own experiences flashback just from his own "it was over" moments tone 😂.
That OD green case looks better than the Black anyway. It matches my Jeep and my old Duty side arm. If I wasn't retired and living on a limited income I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Thanks for letting us live your entertaining lives with you.❤
You should carry whats commonly known among sailors as a marlin spike. It is what sailors use to get in and undo knots in rope and can do so without the risk of damaging rope.
Saw a truck with rolling up a magazine and putting in that connection. Stops it from cinching. Obviously if you need to roll through a block not gonna work. Saw a buddy use it between two tow straps. Came apart really nice.
Have Paul or yourself check out Anderson connectors for power cables. We use them on everything from jumper cables to winches ect. Keeps all our mice military battery ends nice. I have several setup with brakers so nothing ever shorts out.
Matt also has a tool bag full of tools. The first to offer us, Canadians just the bag to save us the crazy shipping and import duties, that’s who I will buy the bag from.
Casey showed that he could pull apart the winch extension just by working the fibers repeatedly back and forth. Didn't need any pliers at all, and that eliminates any chance of cutting or breaking the fibers. Otherwise, good job!
Made that look easy. I can hear you and Hunter talking better in the cab with the new engine. I have one ear older than the other I guess you could say. The sound quality is much better for me.

They literally explained because its not wrecker games anymore lol@@JG-123
Michelle is taking off some weight. Dag she's doing great!
Totally unhealthy. More sodium than is good for your blood pressure and tons of fat. But I get why you get them to sponsor.
looks like garbage and the amount of packaging waste is ridiculous.
I’ve noticed Hunter does a fine job at engaging with the customers and getting their story. Good job, man!
And missed the reason the customer did not want to take the dozer on the frozen road.
@@iffykidmn8170 No he didnt. The guy said it was because he didn't have anyone to drive the backhoe while he was on the dozer, because his wife doesn't know how to drive the backhoe. and also mentioned that he's skated the dozer all the way down the hill when the pavement was covered in ice and slick like that. You just weren't paying attention I guess.
Hunter has an awesome job. I bet Paul is a cool boss
@@AndrewGray87 I heard that as well
The look of pride on Paul's face when he drove up and saw his kids unloading yet another project, priceless!
Hey professional arborist here. Thanks for using a bark saver and not causing unnecessary damage to the trees!
So true, it only takes a minute to dig it out but could save the tree from dying.

Trees make great firewood !
I use old cinches as tree savers for the highline I tie my horses to.

Reminds me of a Belos tractor from Sweden, interesting machines.
I have an old David Bradley. Pretty much the same thing.
Gravely was first made in Dunbar,Wv.I have several of the walk behinds and 4 of the riding mowers.Very heavy duty built machines.
Car flinging! A new sport!

I've got the '56 Gravely that tortured me as a kid in the front yard now. Still runs and works.
That Gravely has a "high wheel kit" on it. One of the most valuable and collectable accessories for a Gravely walk behind.

That E46 case loader at the scrap yard I used to service!! I was the fuel/lube truck driver for little over three years for Dirtworks! How funny 😆
It's a fine machine!
My father ran those 7 1/5 hp gravely as his goto yard business for 30+ years. Other than a blown headgasket that takes a half hour to change. Bullet proof machine.
My dad had a Gravely. Had a snowplow attachment I used to plow the driveway and sidewalks with when I was a kid. Thing was tough!
The talented guys running that picker. They will pluck aluminum, steel, and plastics.
"That's slick!" Probably the best description of the tow truck ever! Fantastic!
Yah, That Gravely power unit was the stuff back ages ago.
Great recoveries.
Love to hear the tow truck whistle, she’s badass now Paul !
That was great at the breakers, Jed is a right good character
When I was a kid we had a gravely tractor with a tiller and a mower
Easy pullout and start the tractor and move it! Fun at the junk yard and what have the boys got now!
That junk yard man is a kool kat.
I had an electric fan on my LS. I had to go back to clutch fan because the noise was too much.
Gravley ( pronounce like gravy) was originally built in Dunbar WV. I've got two 1949 L models that still run.
Gravely (Grave-Lee) is a branch of Ariens. The Canadian company that builds snowblowers and lawnmowers.
Ariens is a Wisconsin company In Brillion Wis,
Hunter your many faces are priceless just like Dad's. Paul, I would just get a D ring that unscrews to put the two lines together. Great job U 2.
Gravely is like the Swiss army knife for farmers on the East Coast , very handy tool
My parents owned a small engine sales and service center in Berrien Springs MI. I think they owned every attachment and several Graverly devices. Also many David Bradley’s the precursor to craftsman.

They still make stuff like that gravely. It’s called bcs now. They’re old school with new technology. Everybody knows old school wins every time
I still use all of our gr"A"velys! They are absolute beasts!
Gravely was a great piece of equipment used them for roofing back in the 80’s
You guys need to spend more time at Jed's, it looks like a good time.
We are always a good time😁
I was always told its pronounced “Grave-ly” tractor. My old man still has one up here in Maine.
Paul needs to take the football challenge with that excavator - pick up and move a football from one stand to another without damaging or dropping the ball.
Hahaha I was just going through pictures last week and found a picture of my dad and I on a gravely when I was 5 years old cutting the lawn 😂👍🏻
use a plastic tent peg to get ropes apart
It's "grave-a-lee". If you run one and you're over forty, you'll feel it for several days. I've had 3 machines in the past, I'm 71 now, and I look on them with fear and trepidation. Good for 20-30 year olds, very rugged, and much cheaper than a tractor.

That is an old Gravely Wheel Horse.
good job everyone!
The quick little Letterkenny reference from Jed!
You should start keeping track of recoveries with tallies on the wreckers interior roof
What is the first thing I see as they walk into Jeb's office? Next to the counter is a Ford Flathead V-8 and truck tranny!
You've hooked me right there!!!
Love seeing you and Hunter on the road recoveries together!
Well, I'm impressed with not only your recovery skills but also the folks you introduce us to. Good stuff guys.
where you joined the two straps together just put short piece of broom handle in between the loops and it will just pull out and you can free the straps a lot easier.
Paul, I'm canadian and I can tell you, you've got skills in snow driving man, love your channel guys, keep the good stuff comin'!! ✌❤
🇨🇦
Is it just me or have all of you lost weight. Looking amazing guys. Have a great week. Be well.
I was thinking the same thing. I've also noticed that sense they have been sponsored by factor that typically you will see Paul with a piece of fruit instead of hitting the gas station roller dog section.
Paul and Hunter work well together
Great 👍 Recovery
Have a Great Day 👍
Hey, we stopped by the shop yesterday. The green power wheels the boys were unloading was in the creek behind the merc shed. Had a nice visit with grandma. Sad we missed you. Hope you had fun with Merlin.
Nice to see the tow truck up and running again and operating. Nice job gentleman.
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know you are very beautiful and obviously ppl don’t see that you are smart and very intelligent ppl don’t see what you actually do with the business aspect of things like behind the scenes you may not know a lot of things about fixing cars and trucks but that doesn’t mean you don’t know stuff so keep up the great work you and all the fab rats team you guy’s rock and keep making great videos and remember don’t let the haters get you down have a great and wonderful day love the videos
How does jed not have a youtube channel? He is entertaining and probably has lots of stories and fun stuff going on
Any day out of the shop is a good day
Never a boring day with Paul he'll find something to do
I just have to give a shout out to Michelle for the awesome editing on that Factor75 advertisement. There was a lot of precise cuts she had to do to make those three yahoo's look good and she did a damn good job at it.

Thank you for giving us the correct pronunciation!
Knowing how to recover anything makes it all look easy.
Good morning everyone and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!
First thing I do after clicking on the video 👍🏽
My grandpa had gravley mower at the fire station it had a large deck and duals he used to go like scat bot i think it was close to 10 acers that he mowed thanks for bringing back the memories and great to see the wrecker out doing it's job . Chris
Good work and good man fun held by all.
Michelle, still looking gorgeous 🥰
If you put a stick or a screwdriver handle or something in the square knot it will come apart much easier.
Glad the tow truck is back in action. Thanks for the hard work guys.
Every time Paul states "it was over at that point," while a customer is explaining what happens, he cracks me up. You can hear the years of his own experiences flashback just from his own "it was over" moments tone 😂.
I agree 100% lol
The tow truck is looking great on it's first recovery after the new power plant.
well at least those two boys are having good clean fun with that power wheel! Thanks!
That OD green case looks better than the Black anyway. It matches my Jeep and my old Duty side arm. If I wasn't retired and living on a limited income I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Thanks for letting us live your entertaining lives with you.❤
I can't wait for the next live stream. Maybe ill get lucky and win one.
Years ago I put a decent sized solar charger on my Case 570. It's been great for keeping the battery charged.
Hunter you’re moving up!! Paul letting you drive the wrecker!! Better feel special! Paul glad you got your truck back!
Love how when Hunter is concentrating hard he pushes his Toung into the side of his cheek kinda like the MJ thing
Think its almost time for the wrecker to go all one color. It needs to look as good as it sounds and now preforms with the new mill in her.
Hunter sure is alot of help as well a running the camera .
You should carry whats commonly known among sailors as a marlin spike. It is what sailors use to get in and undo knots in rope and can do so without the risk of damaging rope.
I love watching the recoveries .
Trick with the winch extension is to put a rolled up news paper or magazine or piece of dowle in the join. Won't pull tight then.
oh I just mentioned this to paul@fabats we used to use broken broom handle or tree branch
When adding one line to another just put a work glove in the slip knot. Then you won't even need pliers to get back apart.
Saw a truck with rolling up a magazine and putting in that connection. Stops it from cinching. Obviously if you need to roll through a block not gonna work. Saw a buddy use it between two tow straps. Came apart really nice.
I was blown away by how much air that fan is moving.
Good morning FabRats. Have a great day today 😊
I've got one of those green canvas tool rolls. It's not the Fab Rats approved load out, but I might have to change that.
Have Paul or yourself check out Anderson connectors for power cables. We use them on everything from jumper cables to winches ect. Keeps all our mice military battery ends nice. I have several setup with brakers so nothing ever shorts out.
Matt also has a tool bag full of tools.
The first to offer us, Canadians just the bag to save us the crazy shipping and import duties, that’s who I will buy the bag from.
Fabrats offers just the bag also and it’s got zippered compartments so your tools won’t fall out.
Paul’s a badass! This guy can do everything
You need a "Marlinspike" to undo those knots, it wont damage the tow line at all
no timber dowel in there and it wont close up, done it few times over the years
It would be a real hoot to spend a day with you guys...especially when you're out doing a rescue.
Grayders getting big now he is building awesome
It’s a happy truck !! It whistles while it works. 😂😂
Nice to have Heat in the cab ! Thanks for sharing !
Jeds beard is epic 💪
i would never talk bad about the people in fabrats,as a subscriber i look at myself as your guest
Random idea for your radio cable, wrap a small piece of velcro at the bottom loop and have the hooks on the roof.
You really need to give Graydon a camera so we can see his adventures and build’s
Good morning fab rats
Casey showed that he could pull apart the winch extension just by working the fibers repeatedly back and forth. Didn't need any pliers at all, and that eliminates any chance of cutting or breaking the fibers. Otherwise, good job!
