  I spent more time editing this video than I ever have before! &nbsp;I think about 40 hours. &nbsp;Sifting through 8 terabytes of video footage split between 3 different hard drives didn&apos;t help... &nbsp;I think the results came out ok, but what I think doesn&apos;t really matter. &nbsp;Hopefully you think it&apos;s a good video, which will make it all worth it! &nbsp;I&apos;m happy to have Marge done, and I&apos;m excited to have her available to work around the farm. &nbsp;I must say, even though I knew the whole time I was working on her that she would never be worth all that much, it is painful to realize that all that time and effort I put in didn&apos;t generate much in the way of equity. &nbsp;But that&apos;s ok, because I didn&apos;t do this to sell her. &nbsp;I did it to have a massive machine with the raw power to knock over trees, rip out stumps, and lift anything that I could possibly want to lift. &nbsp;Mission accomplished! &nbsp;Have an awesome weekend everybody! &nbsp;<a href="https://crowdmade.com/collections/farmcraft/products/farmcraft101-large-marge-back-from-the-dead-t-shirt">https://crowdmade.com/collections/farmcraft/products/farmcraft101-large-marge-back-from-the-dead-t-shirt</a>

  Its crazy how the algorithm recommends a random uncle refurbished an excavator on a random Saturday morning.

  So, what I gather from this video, is that you need a functioning excavator in order to restore another.

  Troubleshoots the issue, builds the tools needed to build the replacement parts, films the whole process, re-lives it all in the edit, and then kindly re-re-lives the whole trauma and triumph in editing the summary, so that we can enjoy reliving the pain alongside you. Thanks Jon, just awesome.

  2.7 million people viewed and spent an hour learning about something they will never have to deal with but found extremely interesting!

  What a great series! No over hyped energy, no shouting, no clickbait, no drama, just a steady stream of progress, troubleshooting, learning, fabrication, and so on... &lt;3

  Okay, I saw it was an hour and said, no way will I watch the whole thing. I watched the whole thing. Fascinating.

  Not to brag, but me and a couple of my buddies could have completed all this in about 100 years😂. &nbsp;What great work you do.

  Your level of patience on this project is UNBELIEVABLE! I wish I was doing this work with you. I&apos;d probably only be in the way but I&apos;d be happy taking on the grunt work just to learn and experience this from beginning to end.

  You know it&apos;s a big job when you need another excavator to renovate your excavator.

  I’m 36 and have been naturally gifted in the world of building and fixing. What I have learned is this. Anything can be fixed, diagnosed. That’s not the hard part. It’s the discipline to go do it. Sir, you are an inspiration
