I still think it's so damn rewarding to see the backhoe working like a charm and purring like a kitten after all your repairs! I'm proud of ya! :)
Definitely happy about it
I know she is an old girl but has a lot of life left. Thanks to your hard work.
Hope so
A backhoe is like a swiss army knife good job Captain.
💪
I love how you used the attachment to pull the tree from the pile!!! Do you know that I have not seen many Do this!!! I am 63 and always loved to see people use their mind! Think out side the box. Always satisfying ❤❤❤
The 555 has got it goin on Captain K nice!
💪
It’s great to see all your hard work on your backhoe that you put in, now you’re able to use it on your property. Good job
A wise man once said......read the room. i really enjoyed today's episode!!!
So great to see the 555 doing what its supposed to! Great job sir!
It may not be the prettiest of machines, but it can still do the job it was built for.
Hey that was fun and interesting. Great video Cap, keep up the awesome work an video's. Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
ok another great video, see winter project, adding thumb to backhoe bucket.
I was thinking there might be some criter living in the loose logs and sticks. I guess a good way to find out would be sticking your hand down in there and see what you find. Nice work Captain, enjoyed watching.
“ a nice game of washers “ 🤣😂🤣 excellent as always Mike 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
💪
You got a sweet looking Pond Mike, it’s starting to look like a nice Oasis
Thanks!
Gosh I love time lapse! I could watch that all day every day, and twice on Sunday!
💪
This is awesome. In the process of doing this on my parents land. Found a beauticians chair. Nobody in my family cuts hair.
Found a boat. That i thaught got solid a decade ago.
Well, as always, Captain put another smile on my face. Excited to see what's next on your adventure and projects.😊
I think you should build a thumb for the 555. Would make some great content. Keep up the good work.
22:52 "we're past that. Read the room." 😂😂😂
🤣
"Why are we clearing land with our old Backhoe?" Because it's fun and we can. It also shows progress on our dreams. GOOD JOB CAPTAIN KLEEMAN.👍
💪
Wow, that's some primo dirt there Captain!! The pond is going to look even better after you get this part done! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure Mike!!!
Hey Mike, the ol 555 sure is making quick work of clearing the area. I bet this is the best 3K (or so) spent.
Captain has a sand box now, look out, Bones is coming through 💪👍🇺🇸
Cap’n, Hold on…. Don’t throw that Pizza Slice floatie away… you can patch it up and add it into the Trade Up challenge!
Once again the Fifty Five sisters are working together to get it done. With Five digging and Seven hauling, they may not be the purdy-est girls in the dance floor but…. There ain’t a farmer in the country that wouldn’t be proud to call them daughters!
PS: Thanks for sitting the camera up in the poison Ivy. I’ve been working on my immunity. LOL
Definitely proud of them!
Looks like you did a great job fixing the 555. She is really proving her worth now!
Definitely! Appreciate ya watching
hello mike it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Captain Kleeman, he's our hero
Dig your commitment to the dangling bungee in the windshield.
🤣🤣
Mike im glad you explained what the goal of what you were doing. Half way through the video i was confused why you were moving everything from one spot to another. Good luck with your project.
Appreciate ya watching
Mike , it's been long time you worked hard on this tractor, but i feel it's like to try to relieve a dead man 🙄
And about the job you did a great work 👍
It's paid for itself already, love it
That triple nickel has done some work for a scrapper, proves what the old machines can do with a little TLC good video Mike cant wait to see what you do next.
It had a rough life lol
( had ) just remember you video tape what you do to it mike lol hopefully it gets life of ease like the 755 does.....
Man the 555 is paying dividends already! That bolt expired long before you got the machine! Replace things as they fail good plan!
Sure am glad to see you get good utility out of the 555. Good that you keep an eye on stuff that might break and fix is proactively. Attaboy!
Dude that 555 is now your best friend! You need a dump trailer!
Would be handy!
golden spot of dirt Bud I be planting with that Sh-t great watch the ole iron is doing great to 👋👍🇨🇦
Nice idea,just got to put it in reality,you area hard working man Mike.believe your vision is coming together great video.keep on doing what your doing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Putting it into reality is what you just watched lol
I absolutely love watching you working and repairing things, especially since I'm doing similar things here in Japan, developing a mountain area.....I was hearing the bucket "creaking" a bit in the video, are you greasing the pins and joints (I haven't seen you make reference to that in your videos.....) Also, speaking from my experience (bad luck...!) tree limbs like to catch on hydraulic hoses.....your 555 backhoe arm seems to have some rather lengthy and unruly hoses.....maybe a good idea to tie those off, so that they don't get caught on something.....I do appreciate that you wanted to get working after all of the time and effort that you have put into that thing....! (Great work getting it working again, by the way! Love watching your progress....and know that you have more work to do on the machine) Keep up the great work....!
Like what your doing! Those 2 pieces of equipment are getting the job done.
That's great garden dirt. God bless
Definitely!
Great video Captain. I do have to agree with you, use what ya got! Some of us don't have that fancy thing called money, so we have to work with what we got.
The 555 is doing a good job great video thanks Mike
You've got some real nice top soil in there, we'll worth keeping.
Definitely
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting and entertaining to see the continued adventures of the Captain Kleeman channel. Never let go of your originality and un scripted structure of your channel. It’s part of what makes you great. Wishing you and your family the best.
Thank you Tom! Means a lot
Mike you make hard work look like fun and every project an adventure thanks for bringing us along 👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks!
I see you and man behind the scenes building a thumb for the backhoe before long.
I do my own stunts lol.
You're a hoot to watch. Talented individual that gets stuff done. If you had put some dance music behind the loose bolt section. Wow!
Capt, sure looks good clearing the hill, you're going to have 1 heck of a 4th of July bonfire pile.😅
more room for all the fun got some good soil to use. nice job see ya on part 2. cheers captain.
You bet
beautiful 👌
Thanks!
It would be nice for the fish if you piled the stumps in the pond in a pile all together where they can swim around and through them like tunnels. That will only work if they are stacked on each other. Not telling you to do it, just a suggestion.
The ol' girl (tractor) isn't as pretty as she once was but she's still getting it done with the bit of TLC you've given her. Thanks for sharing!
Cool project, very satisfying to see you make it all the way through to the other side.
I ran a 555 for years installing septic tanks and grading. Great machine. Be careful with the extend-a-hoe. The counter weight isnt quit heavy enough with a empty bucket on a hill. Love seeing your machine run. Excellent content!!
Love the Kleeman Chanel meens we get more of you.
I was watching the 555 working away and couldn't help myself from wondering how long it would've taken the 755 🤔 Great job on the restoration so far... And the clean up progress
1/8" 7018 welding rod works as a hell of a pin keeper, and their endless if you lose them 😂 i know this from experience
🤣🤣. Holding metal together in multiple ways!
You probably thought about it but throwing this out there. You should put a thumb on her. Maybe an electric over hydraulic and put the button on your stick. Just a thought. She running good CPT !!!!👍👍👍
Mike I’m enjoying both channels! ❤
Thanks!
Fun fun fun
While the 555 is definitely an improvement over the 710, watching you work, it would sure be nice to have a thumb on there. Since you are running out of projects, you can add that to the list. LOL, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate ya watching
You go for it Boy...I just bought more stock in the washer making bidness!
You are on a rock hunt or not and the Ford 555 is getting it done ✅ and yes save the topsoil it will still be good tomorrow 😎
Oh yeah drone footage, the most underused tool in everyone's ttill box. A must have ESPECIALLY what you and DP do.
😍😍😍😍😍😍 Love done footage
Look's like you have plenty of good soil for the raised garden beds
Captain! Black and Decker has a RECALL notice out on their DEWALT, Craftsman And another brand of Fiberglas handled Sledge Hammers!
It's not a DeWalt
What do you mean, stock pile it somewhere. Looks to me like that’s what you did. Boy, you’re going wild with that NEW backhoe. Keep going we ❤️ it.
Another stellar outro!
I bet all those that doubted what you were doing when you got the 555 and then questioned why you were doing all that work are kicking themselves now. In bringing the old girl back to life and now doing what she was designed to do, it's elevated you into the realm of Diesel Creek, Salvage Workshop and Andrew Camarata. It's a shame that more of your 70,000+ subscribers don't hit that like button! 👍🤗
Hey I appreciate the kind words
That is going to look nice. Both machines working together is getting it done. Stay safe
good bolt images
💪
What a good decision to rebuilt that 555. Works great and you have enough energy to keep it busy.
Definitely getting my money's worth!
A+ for that Mike lov the chann😢.
Thanks!
Hi Mike. I am going to say that you will end up getting at least 80% of the fill that you need. If the rock does break up as you say, that might find a new home as well. We will see when we do. Have good days!
Definitely curious how it turns out!
The 555 has proven invaluable once again. Love watching the effort you put into fixing it and then seeing it in the dirt 👍
Teeth on the front bucket would help it dig better. If it were mine I'd just weld some teeth right to the digging edge. Easy solution. To each their own. That's a hard working little deere tractor.
It's on the list, but pretty low at the moment
You’ve got a lot of work into the 555, but I’d say Clint did you right.
Good job captain
Great video, love watching.
Thank God you have that 2nd Responder work schedule, 24 on(get plenty of sleep) 48 off...... (Plenty of time for projects)......and yes I'm jealous😂😂😂
Just a city boy here, I noticed the pond is a beautiful color. I’m guessing either you or your neighbor put dye in it. Now that being said, is it safe for the kids to swim in. Or is it now just a fishing pond? Inquiring minds want to know lol keep up the great work I enjoy watching.
he has a video of him dyeing it
Great job.Drove one of them once it was probably even older with a separate lever for each function.every one seemed to work differently to what you would expect.I had just about got the hang of it when the back end fell off,it was hooked over the back axle and secured with some huge bolts which had come lose,lot of fun getting it back on.A great machine,you could really make a mess with it.
I like the larger bucket, looks like you’re doing something now Mike! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
You know I have made deals like you did on your property, and in the long run, I usually came out at least even but more often than not I came out ahead, but the good will that came out of the good will jester turned out to be priceless, it usually came back as a reward. Thanks for the tag along video sir.
Stockpile the good dirt for @Wild Roots
Definitely!
It amazes me how much I love these “discovery” videos where you have to keep your options open until more information gets revealed. I’m excited to learn what phase two is going to be…you can tell us in advance or keep it suspenseful, I’m coming back (and watching) either way.
You have learned to use those forks to move wood in ways I didn’t know was possible …nicely done
Always appreciate ya watching
Good morning Sir
Captain you’re really kicking butt, your equipment is working good and your determination is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks Kevin
NICE outro, short and sw.....
🤣🤣
The back hoe and little tractor do a great job - ideal for this one. All this work continues to make a dream come true and enjoying the ride.
Ease the old girl into it..... and see what breaks 😮
Mighty fine topsoil there, that will grow some lovely stuff 😁
That corner will provide a decent amount of backfill for you, will this be used up around the chicken goat barn ? 🤔
And if a fella had a cylinder kicking around and a trailer frame, there could be potential for fabricating a tipping trailer for the 755..... 🤔
Just sayin' bud !!! 😂
A trailer would be awesome!
The river valley and surrounding hills are so similar to the Hudson Valley here in New York.
It's gorgeous!
Since you don't use the extendahoe part, you should repurpose the hydraulic lines to work a thumb.
I use the extendahoe
When you were pushing all those trees onto the burn pile with the 555, were you pretending to be Jerry in the 850B? 😆
🤣
glad you called out the name of the tree of heaven. I have those here in western Pa. but I had forgotten the name of it. every once in a while one will fall over. They get fairly big and provide ALOT of firewood. not great firewood though. for as heavy as they are green, they are deceiving. They dry very light. great to start a fire with but I would feel guilty selling a load of it at the same price I charge for hardwoods.
What wood do they burn like the most? I haven't burnt much of it myself
@@CaptainKleeman It is a quicker burn like pine but doesn't pop or crackle or throw sparks like pine does. it is more like a softwood. not heavy after it dries and not a slow burn like a cherry or oak. I will burn it just because it is still heat and I had it available. If I am starting a fire I will pick pieces of it to start my fire because it catches on fire easier... quicker burn.
its working very wel whit the 2 trators
💪
Hello Mike,
I know for certain that a man of your caliber and intelligence could build and install an awesome working thumb on "Bones", the question is, will you accept the challenge? Another great video friend.
Because you don’t have a new backhoe! Them there puppies are spendy last time I looked 😢. Old and running beats shovels and backs. Any day 😅. And you need more testing on your TrippleNickle Found Alongside the Road Dead seasoned material handler. You are very welcome 😂👍👍
that outro, i think letsdig18 is a bad influence on ya
Just think what you could do with a grappler and add a 3rd function valve to the equipment. I'm sure you could make one and if you could put an easy attach and remove thumb for the backhoe. Good job! :)
AND,.....extended easy on or off 12" extension teeth bar on the backhoe bucket. Lol, just trying to help! Lol.
