Congrats on being in business for 15 years. I've been watching your videos for just over 7 years since right before you built the Castle. You're an interesting and entertaining guy and I hope you have 15 more in you. Cheers
That LITTLE smile on ya face when the engine started 😝
same. just need more chainsaws again
Cheers! I feel the same way. AC is a force.
All of his success comes from the sweat of his brow, being bold, being ENTREPRENEURIAL, and putting in the time, good bad and ugly.

Andrew, you did a good job putting that excavator back together. Two things. When attaching ground straps, don't use the bolt as the current path. The current path is through the flat surface of the lugs and the structure. You want to remove the rust where you land the wires. To take it a step further there is a conductive coating that can be applied first and spray some paint to seal it up. It's called Grounding and Bonding. 2nd don't use Teflon tape on a sensor that has one wire. The sensor gets its ground from the threads. Great job getting it running!
Thanks
Tell cody I said hi
@@AndrewCamarata alot of times you have to use something. I usually just do one wrap in one spot using the thin tyflon thinking it will tear on the outside of the threads and clog up the valleys where it would leak. also the adjoining threads where you did not teflon will supply the ground.
Two things 👏👍
I clean the bolt's shoulder, the threads, the threaded mount surface, the lug on both sides all with some sort of rotating wire wheel. A wire brush normally doesn't cut thru the oxide coatings accumulated over decades. Then Kopr-Shield everywhere. It'll conduct fine forever if ALL of this is done
Where do I start. Another excellent video. Classic Andrew Camarata - informative and enjoyable. If anyone thinks they're facing a project that's too big just watch one of Andrew's videos and get a lesson in how to get it done. No fanfare, just focus and effort. The smile on Andrew's face when the excavator started for the first time is fantastic. Clearly he earned the opportunity. My only regret is that this video is only an hour and a half long. Felt like only 15 minutes. Thanks, Andrew.
there are 5 minute videos too long to watch, this one flies by before one notices.
So true. Another great video and another project solved.
When you were tearing down with the dewalt, I thought that craftsman finally gave up the ghost.. but then on assembly it was right there.... going strong like always. I love that you're not a tool snob and get it done. Keep it up and go see your dad today!!!!
Yes!
Lol that craftsman has been around so long. Can't believe it still works.
excellent...you must have helped sell so many Yanmar machines....good fix AC.....and nice to have a camera operator filming you. nice edit.
Thanks for the upload Andrew!
You're welcome.
@@AndrewCamarata where are all the "Honeys" tho!!!? I mean your "sidekicks"?? AKA Babes???
L
Look at all the small businesses Andrew supported to make this happen. I'm more amazed that there are that many local guys available to do that kind of work!
too sir
Yes. I’m glad the guys who specialize in those fields are here.
@@AndrewCamarata Would be great if you ever got a chance to highlight some of these specialize operations. I can't imagine the detailed level of knowledge and experience it takes to efficiently rebuild some of these parts. Sizes, specs, threads, motors, etc. It's like entire generations of engineering knowledge just waiting to evaporate out of our society.
Don’t forget people are buying junk pistons to help his business 😂you know you’ve made it in life when people are buying your trash 🚮 unbelievable
@@MrAllmotorB With 'Certificate of Authenticity' 😂
Watching Andrew changing an excavator motor is like watching Bob Ross paint.
Anyone else love how he just put the pistons in the dishwasher😂😂 Only AC LOVE IT!!!!
Also great for stainless steel pistol parts .
Lol oh no no no, that sir is an indoor parts washer. “We don’t need no stinking (badges) dish washer”, Paper plates and plastic spoons n cups
Diesel parts makes the dishwasher a new black color 🤣 But it works 😸
He'd never get away with cleaning the old pistons and other miscellaneous parts in the dishwasher if he were married! 😂
We always use dishwasher for cleaning parts, also plastic, but no rubber!
Woah... Grab the popcorn ya'll 👍 Nice long 1 from AC 👍
A couple of great points Andrew makes in the video Take photos & make a list... Makes life so much easier
The list was helpful because I wrote down everything I did, then when I put it back together, I did it in the reverse order.
That's some good discipline. I have the bad habit of getting right into the project and want to just go go go as I'm enjoying it. Regrets later of course @@AndrewCamarata
@@jasonkirkham3153 Yep, I do the same thing. Sometimes you just dive in, perhaps we should all slow down and take our time. Someday.
Hey Andrew I am glad you got the old Yanmar Excavator up and running. She is a hard working BEAST. Thanks for all you do and all you continue to do. Cause you are an inspiration to us all. 😊
Oh man, I thought I was getting to bed early tonight…. SCREW THAT ! It’s Camarata time boys !!
Hell yeah brother!
Only Andrew can scoop one excavator with a bigger excavator ❗️ Genius ❗️❗️❗️
Every operator can do that.
Next for your castle should be a lift next to your stairs. Big enough to fit a pallet or 2. (Elevator)
Bro, that's a bulldozer. He's lifting a mini-excavator with it.
@@SalandFindles tracked loader. isn't it?
That was cool. Like she just gave birth to mini exc
Nice job. I was surprised you didn't use anti-seize on bolts going back together.
On those paper Gaskets (like the thermostat one you showed assembling DRY) that kind of stuff works a LOT better with a thin smear of regular grease on both sides of the gasket, it makes the paper soften and swell up a bit and seal better, AND next time you goto remove it it wont be as stuck
Andrew "Let me just lift this whole excavator with a track loader" Camarata Never a dull moment!
No substitute for brute force .
yep him and bushradical for me. How much? Bought raw land 3 years ago its now amazing. And I just bought a bobcat 331 excavator.
It has tracks and it got loaded. Seems about right to me 😂
You can't truly appreciate the size of the Koehring when it's alone in a rock pit, or with the crusher or haul truck. Seeing it dwarf the Yanmar and lift it up with ease really gives some perspective. 😂
was thinking the same thing
Yeah that sucker is huge
Nice Koexistence
yanking that thing around like it was a dog's chew toy.
Cool video! I like that you are adopting some Applied OCD techniques as you work, like putting bolts back in their holes and taking lots of pictures!
The timing gears were out of synchro or the paint marks were incorrect ?
Andrew I love the comments you randomly reply to😂 I’m getting my first piece of equipment right now. I’m 23. I’ve been watching since I was in my teens. Thank you. God bless!
Gotta like before you start watching ❤️
Super like!
glaze more
Same lol
Always do!
Mouthpiece
Moved a lot of dirt with that Yanmar. Glad to see it back in business. Nice to work with folks that can actually rebuild engines, re-core radiators! 💪👍🏼
3:50 AWWWW what a cute scenery. A mother tracked loader is carrying her baby excavator.
A few winters back I taught myself how to do this rebuilding the same engine out of my 955 jd tractor. Great video! I know exactly how that smile feels on the first start up… it’s a real good feeling!!
Everyone thought the $4,000 excavator was small and then you load the b27 in and out of the bed of a truck like it’s an attachment. 😂
The pressure washer alone was $6000
આ પાનાંમાં આચઃઇઃં અંદર😢@@HappyHands.
Love the Yanmars, glad you fixed it. Good work Andrew
I've watched far too many restoration videos because I was constantly thinking: "when is he going to clean this up properly and repaint it?". Meanwhile, I can imagine some poor worker in the Yanmar factory in Japan quietly but politely wincing at how Andrew was putting it all back together and muttering: "アンドリュー、工場に来てくれ。ちゃんとトレーニングするから (Andrew, come to the factory. I'll train you properly.)". Great job, well done!
I love watching these with the subwoofer on full. My neighbour shares their renovation noises with me during the day, I share Andrew back in the evening.
💀🤣🤣🤣
Ok boomer.
Because you’ve never done any work at home huh?
@@FlourescentPotato I’d rather be a boomer than be poor and not know my own gender 😂
@@sjv6598 not really, I rent a pretty fancy beachside apartment, there isn’t much that needs doing.
What's good about the red antifreeze that Toyota uses is that it's easy to see small leaks when they first start.
Its easy to see the warning light ,too .
+ It could be the original thermostat was the wrong one and the new one in the kit is the right one , the radiator looked like it never had any antifreeze in it .
@@user-ji6qj5xw8t He found a split in a small hose.
That Yanmar should last for decades to come. Great job getting it back working again.
Andrew, not being mechanically inclined myself, I truly enjoy your abilities and fearlessness when taking on big jobs.
1:21:39 Double Trouble threw me way off. I know I'm sitting here watching this on midnight shift trying to get through the last few hours. Wow, I really thought my eyes crossed... LOL!
This is proof that the snap on truck may be fun, but is also not necessary. Andrew does all this without the big name tools.
This is a big one for me. Crazy seeing a guy work on stuff with tools I would throw out 😂
35yrs working on everything from lawn mower wagons to large off road equiptment and have broken some of all brands, nothing is superior if what you have is in your budget and works.
@@tipperryan Just love seeing Andrew still using the old Craftsman 19.2 1/4 drive impact.Gord Ontario Canada
Yeah I always notice this because zero KZhead guys do this. We’re always trying to aspire with better tools when in fact we should use what we have. For me a flex is using a plug in tool because my air compressor stinks.
There is something really special about that Yanmar excavator.
Seeing a "new" rad, starter, and new hoses makes me smile. Many more hours to go for this Yanmar that has done so many projects for you.
It’s not the the original b50
Glad to see you got an induction heater, they’re not for every application but they can be a big help in the right instances. Great job on the repair video I always enjoy watching you diagnose and fix broken equipment.
Love those mountains! Great view.
yup
This machine is the reason I bought my yanmar 50! Thanks for keeping her alive.
38:15 .. Love places like this, I used t take all my alternators and starters to a guy to rebuild, who has a place like this, always did the best work!! :)
Andrew has convinced me start looking at properties to develop.
Can't say I'm surprised at the parts washer but it is typical A/C! Get 'er done, guy!
😂😂 that may have been an outside thing.
Ok Andrew, I’m sure you’ve been asked a million times and I just haven’t looked hard enough to see it (we your fans are prolific commentators), what’s up with the Power Wheels?
I love these tear down/repair videos in long format. You get to see the entire process end to end in one shot. Keep up the great content Andrew! All my buddies at work now follow your channel as well. Awesome stuff.
It's always a good day when Andrew is fixing something rather than breaking it. lol
I appreciate that you keep things so clean and organized. From the first video I've ever watched and every video following you've done this and it's great.
Nice to see Dave helping out in the shop. Andrew sure deserves a hand.
I have to tell you Thank you for your show's your, constant work at maintaining with checking the oil and water and lubeing and cleaning up the machines has motivated me to be more attentive to my equipment and just as you are working on your excavator I have been cleaning and changing the oil in my mini that I have been using to remove trees on our farm in preparation for building a new house and two new shops for my retirement projects
The genius of AC shines through here. Yes, it's impressive the way he removes the engine and re-installs it after the rebuild, but the real genius is making the project worthwhile in the first place. Under normal circumstances I can't imagine that it's practical to resurrect a little excavator with almost 9k hours and a blown engine, but because Andrew was able to film the process and post it on KZhead the project will pay for itself and then some. Over 300k views after only 1 day.
Putting the excavator into the truck is classic Andrew Camaratta. Fantastic! 😊
The overhead crane in the shop is such a luxury also the great shop lighting for the footage, thanks.
Andrew a mi me gustaría poder tener un recuerdo tuyo pero te sigo desde Zaragoza , España y también tengo 75 años bueno me conformó con ver tus excelentes vídeos gracias por todo un abrazo desde Zaragoza
I very rarely ever hit the like button anymore on KZhead, except for Andrew's videos.
Nice work Andrew! Thanks for sharing with us!
Andrew: i think i ruined the motor. Me: You? Nah...you are so gentle with all your equipment. The proof is your pick up truck. 😉
😅
Well it probably wasnt Andrew who ruined the motor, more the lack of ANY coolant. XD I mean, what in the world? How can there be not a SINGLE drop of coolant in there? Where did it all go? Even with a broken line there should be at least a tiny bit of coolant left...
Like the "new" yellow pick up truck he brought to the Castle. 10 min later in the video it's all beaten up to wrecks ...
Anoche fue la mejor inversión de 1h 35' 46" de mi Tiempo. Eres una persona totalmente interesante (te veo desde hace muchos años) por como resuelves y actúas en temas que quizá no sean de tu especialidad u ocupación habitual. Logras entretener y mostrar (enseñar) como se "encara" la Vida y sus obstáculos. Te agradezco que filmes, edites y publiques todo tu muy valorado material. Saludos y felicitaciones por tu arduo trabajo desde Chubut, Argentina de parte de un Técnico Mecánico automotriz y de Aviación (ya retirado) y con mucho Tiempo, que no es igual a mucho resto de Vida.
When you prefer a machine, it's worth the hassle to get it restored. This one can easily go another 30 years. There's no escaping the maintenance anyway, even with a new machine. Just moving the broken excavator was a project in itself. Excellent video.
Awesome! Just when I thought there was nothing on tonight. Thanks Andrew!
agree yes
Wow, I'm not going to hear a single thing my wife says for the next hour and a half. 😂
Its 3.03 am in the UK . I couldn’t sleep NOW I can’t sleep !!
😅😅
Yeah, honey don't disturb me Andrew's got a new video on now
Same😂😂😂
Lmfbo!
Sounds like that poor craftsman impact driver needs a bearing. Thanks for the great video! These fix videos are my favourite. If you fix your drill please make a video of it!
You should send one of those scored up pistons to the operator that kept running that machine after it was overheated as a memento. Glad you rebuilt that little Yanmar I always liked that little excavator. You know the work pool is getting pretty lean when you only trust yourself to let the ramps down on the trailer. Great video as usual AC keep them coming!
It may not have been all the operators fault if you remember it was sending false information about being hot and oil pressure Los anyway I watch the whole thing from start to finish this morning
Definitely not the owners fault.Oh wait, I thought he was the guy who is supposed to take care of the machines maintenance.😮
These machines/toys excites the little boy in all of us.
I agree, in the “60’s” when I was a teenager I operated some of the heavy equipment he has . Drove dump trucks, etc. it was big boy toys then as it is now. Totally enjoy his videos for years now.
not even 5 min in and we've already got some camarata ingenuity love your vids man
Obrigado! Quebrei meu pé e tenho sofrido com fortes dores... aguardando cirurgia... agradeço o entretenimento! Fiquei distraído pelo vídeo e esqueci de mim por muitos minutos... obrigado!
Excellent
Thanks Andrew always enjoy watching you work.
love it. Not a torque wrench in sight. Very relatable! Just the way I do it!
Until he needs to undo the bolts he over-tightened.
@@kenadams5504 thats what the induction heater is for
I love how he smokes the pics out of every bolt and never straps anything. Dude was born for this.
I'm glad that you took the time to fix her up. When I first started watching your videos this is the very machine that inspired me to get my first excavator. A 2004 Yanmar 27-3. Same class, just slightly newer. I only have 1300 hours on the engine though, but now I have a video for when it dies years later (hopefully years later). Thanks for making videos and inspiring others to get out there and get some property development done.
You know the drill, always check your fluids and other important functions prior to running your equipment. And if something shows up, stop and analyze the problem before proceeding.
You betcha. Whether it’s a lawn mower , car, any vehicle or equipment that has oil or fluid - check before starting. My step daughter ruined her used Toyota because she never checked fluid. Ran it on almost empty until it seized up.
There;s never even the slightest urge to fast-forward, I want to take in every frame of these videos. And there is much pausing and re-playing of stuff.
good job. and now I’m just repair out the head of the cylinder block on opel omega b 1999 :) The timing belt broke, 2 valves were bent
Loved this video. The double ramp lift on your trailer when you were taking the machine back to your other property was quality touch.
👍 And no grey hair yet Andrew. What a blessing. .
Gray hair is cool
Hope you record some lake adventures again this summer. Good to see you have a recreational break occasionally.
Wow that overhead hoist might be one of the most valuable things in the shop. Going to have to go on my list of must haves.
Started to watch your videos when you only had the small black painted little excavator, so long has passed and you have so much skill, great work. I see some tracks included the big loader still with old wheels on, you did a great job in video editing 2 years of footage!!. rgs from italy
Thats the narrowest alternator I've seen . Andrew it's good habit to check fluids before using any equipment 👍
Good fix Andrew, great to work on equipment that can be resurrected time after time. You fixed it up to last for years now. Cool image work on the lifting of the trailer ramps.
The logistical accumin and problem solving ability of Andrew is amazing. I've been around the earthmoving industry for many years but am still amazed at his methods. Great to watch but stand clear.
3hrs to pull the engine! Heck, I coulda done it in 12hrs lol!!! Good job with the whole job!!!
Always glad to see a video from Andrew
Whenever Andrew posts a video it feels exactly like Christmas morning!!
You sure put a lot of great work replacing motor and radiator. I suppose operators must put more care into operating older machines.
Thanks Andrew! I love your attitude of persistent effort and not getting in your own way, like many of us do.
Wait, did Andrew just put engine parts in the dishwasher? Lol I love it!! 🤔😂🤣😂🤣
No but sometimes he puts dishes in his parts washer
Can't wait for castle number two to get started andrew.
Exciting is a understatement!!!!
Glad to see the Yanmar is fixed! I know it has been awhile since we have seen it in action but it really does seem to have more get up and go and power it seems!
I've got an early 90's B27, these things are indestructible. Great work as always!
Wipe down the coolant hoses with silicone spray makes them look all shiny new pretty again.
never a dull moment when Andrew needs to fix something
a really good operator keeps an eye on the vital things on a machine. The really good ones are hard to come by
That was awesome I like the way you loaded the excavator a bit dangers but it work and that's what matters job done 👍 👍
10k views in 30 minutes ❗️❗️❗️ Good movie must be on ❗️❗️❗️ Get your popcorn ready and enjoy this great production ❗️❗️❗️
Andrew, get yourself a milwaukee 12v impact. They are strong enough to pull even lugs but small enough to use all day long and get into super tight spaces.
Yea brake all the bolts too he used that small so nothing would snap
I heard Milwaukee cordless impacts are really good!
If Milwaukee or the Chinese company that owns it wants to be a sponsor I’m sure he would consider it.
смотрю твои видео с удовольствием ! Меня тоже зовут Андрей ! Живу на север от Москвы за 100 километров . Спасибо за видео!!!
Andrew I really appreciate that even when you do complex and time consuming repairs. You still take the time to record it all with multiple cameras/B rolls/ drones/ etc. I know it just further extends the time on the project but you grunt through it and always bring us a great end product. Cheers!
When you install a spline drive like what is on a pump the splines should always be lubed, I use antiseize on them. The reason is there is always a very small amount of misalignment and it will keep the splines from wearing. If you reuse a used radiator hose it is a great idea to coat the hose end with permatex #2 nonhardening sealer, it will make a good seal and keep it from seeping. Cheers enjoyed the video as always.
Anti seize lubricant should not be used on moving parts. It has a small amount of abrasive in it that will accelerate wear in that kind of application.
I used anti-seize on a splined hydraulic pump. In about a month the spline was totally ruined. Cost some money. A little grease would be a lot safer and cheaper.
A radiator shop can take it apart and run rods through the slots and open them up. If a new one is outrageously expensive
1st: im still with you, i enjoy when you are fixing stuff, building things.. very positive and uplifting 2nd..you dont talk too much..bravo 3rd, my Lord, i hope everyone realizes this isnt a game, this is a difficult career. 4th: i pray youtube is paying you well..there are many commercials now, its starting to ruin your videos. But im a cheap skate. 5th..thank you sir
Lots of useful tips in the comments. When assembling, I lubricate everything that can become sour and burn with appropriate lubricants... Thank you Andrew. In a month I will have 3 years of experience working with excavators and loaders; before that I was successfully selling spare parts.
