Our European Andrew Camarata
Hi Andrew Camarata fun?😂😂
I love Andrews videos, but this seems way more safe and professional. For instance: i would never buy any of Andrews "fixed" stuff
Hope he is not as rough on equipment as Andrew. He gets the job done no doubt but he could look after his stuff better. Not everything is built Andrew proof although some manufacturers could use him for testing if gear is strong enough for market!
Broke for no reason

AMA kompressor. Norwegian manufactured compressor ordered and sold to the Swedish military and that's why the labels are in Swedish. (green inside)
Hello from the states, I work in the power generation field. On a generator with a mechanical governor, the frequency needs to be set to roughly 2.5 to 3 hz above your nominal frequency. Which in your case is 50 hz. The frequency will drop within the nominal range when generator is loaded to 80% or more. Hope this explanation helps. Peace.
First time I see a Fluke remote display. Neat!
I would never compare Camarata to this guy. Camarata is good for watching on KZhead but can probably not spell OSHA. This guy, yes he is entertaining and skilled in what he does. And he is sense, even has common sense. This guy I love watching, as I do Camarata, but this guy I would also hire to work in my shop…if I had a shop. I trust this guy.
1:31:25 I am pretty sure that finnish road maintenance people will take notes from this how to create even bigger potholes.
Both the breakers and the rock drill require an inline oiler using rock drill oil to keep them lubricated. You can also just squirt a little oil into the air inlet every few minutes. They are pretty simple to take apart clean and inspect. Anyone who is brave enough to repair a injector governor won't have any problem with this. I love your channel.
Thank you, i actually do have an inline oiler for this i'm going to use.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Yep, North American miners refer to them as a football style oiler (Gardner Denver football). As they are shaped like a football, (think rugby ball, not soccer ball). Also double hose clamps per air fitting, preferably stainless punch locks, and whip checks, as one of the other commenters has posted.

Sir I have no idea about generators or compressors, but I have just watched you yet again solve all your problems. You have made a 70 year old woman happy 😊😊😊😊. Keep videos coming.
You and Andrew Camarata are by far the best youtubers on this niche right now! Love it!
Diesel creek is up there as well. This guy is from Sweden though, deffo nr 1 :)
FarmCraft101 is another one who gets up to interesting stuff
Aye and don’t forget Marty T from the south island .
Don't forget Donn DIY & Jesse Muller
@@gnillut Diesel Creek - the guy that hardly never finish a project. lol He's all pumped up in the beginning, but he runs out of steam very fast, and then the "project at hand will be parked to rot in the woods like so many other "projects"
White wheel rims and new stack make this compressor a real beast
For me, it’s you and Andrew Camarata that are most enjoyable to watch on KZhead. Keep it up brother 👍
This channel and Marty t
@@benwinstanley101 I like Marty’s channel too 👍
Ok, gotta also call out Cutting Edge Engineering Australia too. Good stuff on all four channels.
@@timchiakress5271 we’ll said ! 👍🤝
A good generator is equipped with an isochronous governor. The isochronous governor controls the rpm, and keeps it steady, no matter what the load on the generator is. Otherwise you will need to adjust the rpm's to maintain the 50 HZ desired depending on the load. Either way you got a great deal on both pieces of equipment.
Nearly 2 hours. Yes!! I'll save this one for tonight when the kids goto bed. Cheers 🏴🏴🏴
Never have I been so excited to see a new video from someone on KZhead. I've watched all yours multiple times... Outstanding!
Oh, thank you. Good to hear!
I really enjoy your videos and comparing slight differences how you do things and how we do things in the US. Im from Minnesota and run a small excavation business. Doing the work can be plenty difficult I couldn’t imagine recording and editing it on top of things. Keep up the great work!
I can see by your lastname that you are Skandinavian.And most Skandinavian moved to Minnesota.Karl pålsson,Carl paulsen.You should change to 220 V it is better then 110 V.
@@urbankotto9685 In the US both 110 and 220 volts are present in the service panel. 220 volt wiring in a typical home is well pump, dryer, range, in-floor heating and possibly a water heater. A shop might have 220 volt outlets for welders, heaters, planers.
@@urbankotto9685For movement of Baltic group. Think of extending the top width of Minnesota, straight North into Ontario and Manitoba. My grand parents immigrated to NW Ontario. Then to SE Manitoba. The area I grew up in in Manitoba had mostly Baltic Country immigrants. Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

@@londen3547sounds horrible to use 110, all that amperage… life is good with 400/230!!
This channel should have a million subscribers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It looks like you live north of the Arctic Circle, which is much further north than any populated areas in northern Canada. Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories is 400 km south of the Arctic Circle and most Canadians consider that very far north. Great videos, narration and editing. I expect many of your viewers are surprised to see that your daily driver is a front-wheel drive VW van. Much less snow in the far north than people expect, and good traction when it's packed and not heavily travelled.
We sent down a generator similar to this one to Ukraine (from Sweden), works great from what i have heard. Now it is a backup at a field hospital.
Thank you for the contribution to Ukraine ❤️
59:03 Maybe they are caps for the compressor intakes to prevent more dead mice?😂
Need an oil pump and pump out thru the dip stick tube. This is what we use in the marine business to change oil. Works perfect. A pump is mounted on top of a 3gal and 5 gallon bucket! 👍👍 A long rigid pvc tube goes down the dip stick tube.
Great watching you at work you now have a new fan Thank you keep them coming
I like your videos so much! Miss my time in Sweden back when I worked with CNC machining. Greetings from Ukraine!
Keep your head down brother
Any one who likes Andrew Camarata will love this channel. You have a lot of common sense, and you're not afraid to handle a project that you have limited knowledge on. Your content is diverse and fun to watch. You would make a great maintenance technician in the petroleum/gas or heavy production industry, which is what I retired from as a Maint. Electrical and Mech. Tech. Don't know much about your back story, but it seems like you are already successful in mining and processing rock.
This guy respects his equipment, unlike AC.
You definitely have a valid point there!
Comparing him to AC is like comparing a Rocket Scientist to a Kindergartener🍻.
I don’t see this guy taking a chainsaw to his dash for a radio install but I dig what your saying. Been a long time Andrew fan but he can be reckless at times. This dude seems a little more thorough.
Yes totally agree, I like this channel because he is based in europe so I was interested in the video where he bought that 6x2 volvo hooklift which prompted me to watch his other videos ,so yes great channel and definately like AC too.
This was another great video. As an equipment operator, I have to suggest this: If you tie a tagline onto the load you are lifting, you can control the swing or spin of the load from the cab of your tractor by pulling or loosening the tagline, which is normally just a length of nylon ski rope. That would certainly make life easier while lining things up to drop them into place or to keep them from spinning while lifting. Once again, great video!
If you want clean power from the generator for some sensetive computer just get a "always on" UPS. It will rectify to dc and switch it back to really clean AC. Motors, heaters etc dont really care. Some clocks use line frequency to maintain time because it is extremely stable.
Hello from Michigan USA! I've never seen a bench vise like you have, very unique!
love the channel mate! Big ups from Australia
When the oil missed the bucket I shouted but you didn’t hear me 😉
I LOL when oil missed bucket 😂 it's what cat litter is really for.
Thank you for showing the prices of the things you buy.
this channel should have waaay more subscribers!!
The two plastic "cones" in the tool box are for the original fuel filter housings - for the filters you initially purchased.
Nope. Those are for the air pre-filter dust cups, on the missing intake snorkles, that would poke up out of the engine cover. That's why he found a dead rat in the one air filter bowl. I had to service them often, back in the 70's. Those where a common air filtration system on mining equipment. Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.
There are similar in the original fuel filter arrangements too - trust me lol!!@@carlthor91
Another great video. Glad to see that you still have two feet after the drill bounced around like that ! 😂
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻………………………………….I really enjoyed this video. I like how you think, sometimes cool and practical go hand in hand. The bigger pipe with the cool flapper was the right choice! LOL
I am not sure what you do for a living but it all looks like a lot of fun. You are one hard working hombre in my book, young man. I have loads of respect for your tenacity.
Please get some welding goggles...well a lens or mask for camera so we can admire the beads you are laying down while welding? Its just a bright light. THANK YOU! 💖 FROM Minnesota 🇺🇲 😊
I did not laugh when the oil spilled on the floor. I swear. Keep the vids coming. Good stuff.
Connected to both air filters, above the hood, there should be a "hat" which in fact is a centrifuge to remove heavy dirt. The 2 plastic parts you found in the tool box are the funnels that seeve the heavy dirt into a cup. I guess the filters were overfilled with oil because part of it was rain water. The air filters were open to the elements. Nice video, though, nice to see your work
Great videos Invest in a vacuum oil extractor Once you use one you’ll love it Cheers from Canada
Lots of comments on the generator and the compressor so I will just say Thank You for the drone and video of the beautiful place you live in. The neighbor was jealous and stacked up equipment on your property line ! 🤣😂
Ett tips för kommande oljebyten är att skaffa sig en oljesug. Bara att suga upp genom olje stickan. Mycket smidigt! Tack för bra filmer!
Får man helt rent med en sug?
Beror lite på hur tråget ser ut och hur noga man är när man suger. Många tråg har en liten förhöjning vid gängan till pluggen . Så dom tömmer inte heller tråget helt. På mina två bilar blir testade jag att ta ut pluggen efter första gången jag använde den. På ena vart det samma som via pluggen och den andra lite mer. Man måste dock vara lite försiktig och känna efter botten med sugslangen. Annars är det möjligt att trycka så den viker sig och börjar gå uppåt igen men det är ganska uppenbart när man känner botten. Med detta sagt är det beroende på motorer och oljekylare alltid kvar mellen några deciliter och nån liter i systemet ändå så några extra droppar i botten gör varken till eller från. Läser man i verkstadshandböcker står det ofta oljevolym vid byte och vid fullständig demontering pga detta. Mvh Patrik
Install a Big Ass flood light directly mounted to above the generator either by a steel pipe or wooden pole ...if its placed outside.. so you can see what you're doing at night.
I've just found your channel and have to say that I love your videos. Mechanic stuff, beautiful scenery, great commentary and informative, and of course the length. I'm all in for the longer videos. Thank you for your work!
What a find! A fraction of what it would go for around here.
Its important to use safety clips or wire to secure your hose connections. This keeps them from coming apart while in use. The tiny hole on the Chicago style couplers is where the clips or wire go.
I believe they are called “Whip-Checks” in English. I was thinking the same thing. During the well drilling video he let those Chicago fitting/hose fly about which gave me actual anxiety
Yeah I used to always use whip checks at work on our compressors feeding air to our drilling rigs, definitely don’t want to be bitch slapped by a wild air line 😂 we have always called those air fittings crows feet didn’t know they where called Chicago style fittings
Congrats M.Bjoernstroem, on finding both Compressor and Generator. after some mechanic work both will work great. you can also use the breaker to plant flowers and dig-up small trees.
Awesome as usual trying to catch up with you're videos regards from Scotland ⚒️🇬🇧🏴👍👍
YOU HAVE LOTS OF GOOD MACHINARY. AND YOU WORK WELL. MIKE FROM CANADA.
1:03:34 it's funny that you bring an air compressor out to fill up the tires... on your air compressor!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. This is Barry, 70 yr old from Middletown, Delaware USA.
5106: I don't think I have ever seen an old vice like that one. Thats pretty cool.
It's nice to look at the work of a person who knows everything and knows how to do everything)).
90-inch oled, popcorn 🍿, cold drinks 🍸 🎉, greatest video to date❤😊
tech tip,pump up the tyre with it still jacked up LOL
Love watching your videos. With the easy explanations, without rattling on like some KZheadrs do. Keep up the good work. Blessings from Aus.
Sjukt roligt att se vilka smarta lösningar du har på allt! Klarlack på etiketterna samt sprayfärgen för att få fram siffrorna på det gamla filtret för att nämna några
you got a hell of a deal on both of them.
To me the air compressor looks kinda like an IngersollRand from back in the 70´s or early 80´s 😊 Extremely interesting videos you put out here Mr! I really enjoy each and every one of them....Just wish you had time to post at least 1 video a week 😂
46 minutes - laughed so much my tea came down my nose. We've all been there :D
Highly entertaining video with outstanding videography. Having no current project in my own workshop, it is very enjoyable to watch others doing their interesting stuff. I love to see people taking care of and maintain their equipment, like I do. Grüße aus Deutschland!
From Denmark: quite impressed to see a young Swede who does not use all winter to tinkle with old us cars, but makes something a lot more profitable in the time between jobs…..kudos.
I'm glad to see things that happen to me, also happen to other mechanics.
KZhead recommended you, now a subscriber. A lot like Diesel Creek channel from Pennsylvania!
My grandfather from Sweden used a folding measure like that in the 1950s.
I like the fact that you have all these different tools for each job like untightening the filter at 39:25. Probably very common in a pretty complete workshop like yours lol, but I don't know shit
A Swedish Andrew Camarata !! I love it! 😀
Good content dude keep up with the good work! Greetings from Romania
Thanks!
I Love your videos. I check every day to see if you made a new one. Keep up the great work. I see a lot of people compare you to Andrew Camarata in NY. You are both the best.
Excellent video. You are a very hard working intelligent young man. God bless you...
Great video you brought us along on your adventure and we were able to see your every action by use of your camera angles.
That engine gives me flashbacks and fond memories of my old Ford 2000 😄
I like how you eventually tied up the air hose while you were pulling it off the bed.
Great video nice to have proper machines and tools makes work a lot easier .Thank you for sharing well done
That vise you have looks awesome! Seems like the water separator on the compressor was working as it should. That’s a very good sign. $3200 seems like a bargain for what you got. Great video.
Well done video and great editing! Thank you for your hard work!
For the engine oil drain plugs, you can get plugs from your Takeuchi dealer that will work with the drain hose on the Takeuchis. Not sure of the thread size, but you should be able to adapt if needed.
Saubere Arbeit, macht Spaß zuzusehen. 👌👍
As always, great video and perfect length!
I’ll be just up the road from you in Feb, visiting Kilpisjarvi, only 275km north of you. 😂
Neat trick with the multimeter there.
You're videos are an inspiration to me. Just wish I knew half the skills you have
at 1.10.12 it is called a jockey wheel, good video
Nice work using white paint to highlight no's, did that myself 2 days ago on an indexing plate for my lathe.
It looks like the two items in the compressor tool box are reflectors for lights or flashlights. Old School!!!!
Good morning from Pulaski, PA USA! You could rig up a pipe with a valve to extend it out so you can easily change the oil.👍❤️📹😃🇺🇲
For the Genset oil drain, you can get an Easy Drain, or Quick Drain, or Fumoto valve. You can order with a threaded outlet to attach a oil hose, to direct the oil to a pan, or drain pump. This is common on boats (owner installed). Home brewed tend to be too long, and prone to vibration failure. Thank you for thinking about the poor battery, getting shaken to powder, by the extreme vibration. You might want to try to mount the battery to the Genset base, if possible, a much more stable spot.
Laughed my arse off when you moved the bucket then the oil spilled on the ground. It's always funny when it's not yourself.
That multimeter looks awesome!
Of course you are excited. New toys to play with!
In the future when side loading your flatbed like that place wood under the edges to avoid bending the bed out of shape cause it will eventually either make the flatbed not load correctly on the truck or break the welds that run along the two main frames under the bed. I’ve actually seen this happen with catastrophic consequences to the flatbed and the truck. The flatbed is only designed to load from the rear without additional supports along the sides. Some people have taken a piece of square stock steel with a flat bar underneath theat and welded along the outer side of the flatbed to always have enough support to not damage the flatbed or truck.
He talked about this in a previous episode...check it out 🙂
Hi. M.Bjoemstroem. One of your videos came on my stream on U.tube. It was on your wood splitter fitted to your skidsteer. Really enjoyed your engineering to it. Decided to review the rest of your videos. I must say very entertaining. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. Keep up the video's. Thanks Location Ireland.
It’s amazing how giving a machine a little TLC makes all the difference in the world.
Gotta love useful toys that go broom broom and have 1 kilometre long bolts! lol
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the next video 🥰
Fantastic video. Lots of clever solutions. Only comment i have is to grease the wheel bearings on the air compressor. Possibly quite dry judging by the sound it makes when you pull away.
Dear Mr. Bjoernstroem 👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Congratulations 🎉 for two great purchases. Both are nice big sturdy machines. 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest several things: The tires/rims you put on the air compressor axle are wider than the fenders/mud guards. Therefore dirt/mud/water will spray all over the device. By the way: 2) Usually compressors like this have hinged, slotted side panels. Often they will be opened up when the engine runs. 3) The most important thing: Please consider to redo the air intake openings in the hood/roof. On a machine like yours, this kind of oilbath air filters usually have pre filters (looking a bit like fat mushrooms) above the hood/roof.. The pre filters can easily be taken off. They don't let water or snow into the pot below. Your solution can/will create problems because the air filters suck warm/hot air from the engine and dirty air into the engine/compressor compartment. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Hi I am from The USA love what you did and it look good also good Buy BUT I Agree with @Chr.U.Cas2216‧ the air intake have to be put back to factory with the Correct air filter set up or you will have trouble with it also I think the Hole you have in the center is for inspection of the battery this can be cover with a round cover with a bottom holding bar that you can tie from the top be sure is water seal you can maybe also set up compressor to use regular garage air hose in the time you use a regulator it will be good if you get another tire damage or you on the field and need to do some regular mechanic work with air tools
i have to realise that all your hands tools arent electric. thats what a real man does.
Very good professional 👍
The recording/editing is KING 🫡 Bra jobbat!
Get a video of all the equipment’s and vehicles… Would love to see that. Watching from India. I love these types of things and would definitely do something like this. Watching from some days and now a big fan.❤
WOW Both Nice Machines and as Normal you have made them Great Machines Great Vlog Loved it thanks
