  I think that he has a cousin in New Zealand called Marty, they all bring old machines back to life.

  It's really inspiring to see someone bring out the value in an older piece of equipment and put it to work; hopefully avoiding debt and huge costs and stress along the way. nice.

  Twenty years from now:  Friend - "Why do you use that old bucket?  You got one that's better and almost new?" Young man, just starting out in earthmoving - "Cause that's the one Grandpa made."

  I worked in Construction for a least 3 decades. I met an old welder who gave a pointer or two. He told me, when using a torch or always tilt the cutting head in the direction you are cutting. That way, you will preheat the surface you are going to cut next. Love your show.

  It's good to see young men not afraid of work. Northeast Alabama retired.

  i know these things are hard working machines but even hard workers want a little love every now and then and they will last forever.

  I like the fact you mentioned the price.  Would be nice to hear the pricing on your jobs as well.

  New fluids in a machine give me the "fizz" as Wranglerstar would say.

  This is a New Holland rebadged as a Deere.The suction screen under seat before charge pump is a common issue.<br>Otherwise excellent machines I have two L 785 never failed.<br>Use 10w-30 Motor oil in hyd system.<br>Water gets into oil from top chain case covers. Change oil alot and grease axel s every day .<br>These older skid steer are simple no computer no teir 4 emissions.<br>I sold my new Bobcat got two older New Holland s .<br><br>Also I welded a new style universal adapter plate right on existing one. . Works perfectly.<br>Get a 4n 1 clam bucket with teeth amazing what you can do with it.<br>I never got stuck never needed Tracks either.<br>Excellent work Thanks
