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 ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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....!
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! 👍🤗
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 👍
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!!
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
Good to see the triple nickel is working well. Not smoking a bunch and pulling her weight. I hope that you have good luck with her and only have some minor breakdowns.
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.
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.😎😎😎👍👍👍
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!!👍👍👍
Looks great Mike! That Jd 755 is one stout little machine!and pair it with the truck yo I have is awsome! Just to bad the 550 didn't have a clamshell bucket on front
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.
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
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.
Well Captain, it looks to me like you're getting reall good working that Ho, tractor and other equipment getting your property and your brother's property in shape. Do you intend to build a rental cabin in that spot once it's cleared out or keep the pond private use only.
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.
@@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.
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 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.
Hey Mike, the ol 555 sure is making quick work of clearing the area. I bet this is the best 3K (or so) spent.
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.
It may not be the prettiest of machines, but it can still do the job it was built for.
A wise man once said......read the room. i really enjoyed today's episode!!!
Captain has a sand box now, look out, Bones is coming through 💪👍🇺🇸
I think you should build a thumb for the 555. Would make some great content. Keep up the good work.
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
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.....
“ 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!
So great to see the 555 doing what its supposed to! Great job sir!
Looks like you did a great job fixing the 555. She is really proving her worth now!
Definitely! Appreciate ya watching
Hey that was fun and interesting. Great video Cap, keep up the awesome work an video's. Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
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!!!
"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.👍
💪
The 555 has got it goin on Captain K nice!
💪
ok another great video, see winter project, adding thumb to backhoe bucket.
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.....)

(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....!
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!
I see you and man behind the scenes building a thumb for the backhoe before long.
I do my own stunts lol.
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.

Hey I appreciate the kind words
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.
Dude that 555 is now your best friend! You need a dump trailer!
Would be handy!
Gosh I love time lapse! I could watch that all day every day, and twice on Sunday!
💪
Like what your doing! Those 2 pieces of equipment are getting the job done.
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
22:52 "we're past that. Read the room." 😂😂😂
🤣
Cool project, very satisfying to see you make it all the way through to the other side.
Capt, sure looks good clearing the hill, you're going to have 1 heck of a 4th of July bonfire pile.😅
You've got some real nice top soil in there, we'll worth keeping.
Definitely
Dig your commitment to the dangling bungee in the windshield.
🤣🤣
Well, as always, Captain put another smile on my face. Excited to see what's next on your adventure and projects.😊
Six years of decay = fertile topsoil! Definitely need to keep that in a nice pile for use around the property!
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!!
hello mike it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
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
golden spot of dirt Bud I be planting with that Sh-t great watch the ole iron is doing great to 👋👍🇨🇦
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!
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!
The 555 has proven invaluable once again. Love watching the effort you put into fixing it and then seeing it in the dirt 👍
Mike you make hard work look like fun and every project an adventure thanks for bringing us along 👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks!
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
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
more room for all the fun got some good soil to use. nice job see ya on part 2. cheers captain.
You bet
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😂😂😂
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!
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!
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
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!
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 😎
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!
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.
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.
That is going to look nice. Both machines working together is getting it done. Stay safe
Good to see the triple nickel is working well. Not smoking a bunch and pulling her weight. I hope that you have good luck with her and only have some minor breakdowns.
Man the 555 is paying dividends already! That bolt expired long before you got the machine! Replace things as they fail good plan!
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.
Captain Kleeman, he's our hero
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.
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
Look's like you have plenty of good soil for the raised garden beds
Love the Kleeman Chanel meens we get more of you.
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.
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
The 555 is doing a good job great video thanks Mike
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.
good bolt images

he has a video of him dyeing it
That's great garden dirt. God bless
Definitely!
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!
The river valley and surrounding hills are so similar to the Hudson Valley here in New York.
It's gorgeous!
Looks great Mike! That
Jd 755 is one stout little machine!and pair it with the truck yo I have is awsome! Just to bad the 550 didn't have a clamshell bucket on front
You go for it Boy...I just bought more stock in the washer making bidness!
I like the larger bucket, looks like you’re doing something now Mike! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
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.
Captain you’re really kicking butt, your equipment is working good and your determination is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks Kevin
You’ve got a lot of work into the 555, but I’d say Clint did you right.
its working very wel whit the 2 trators
💪
beautiful 👌
Thanks!

Great video, love watching.
Another stellar outro!
Good morning Sir
Stockpile the good dirt for @Wild Roots
Definitely!

What wood do they burn like the most? I haven't burnt much of it myself

i think that ,the old general is happy to work with the old captn K.? (-:
Seems that way!
When you were pushing all those trees onto the burn pile with the 555, were you pretending to be Jerry in the 850B? 😆
🤣
A+ for that Mike lov the chann😢.
Thanks!
Fun fun fun
You need an addition to your backhoe would be a grapple and a thumb awesome videos keep them coming
ok from top view of backhoe, seen a/c condenser fans. if they still work, possible ventilation fans for hot summer use.
