Brakes are spring applied pressure released, feed oil to the fitting at the brake housings next to final drive (hose you removed), a hand pump with a suitable hose(JIC fittings) will release the brakes. Alternatively remove track motor and brake unit but do not remove the planetary gear cover as this will give more headaches. Early m/c may have a disconnect shaft behind a small plate behind the sprocket But can’t be certain, maybe mixing it up with the larger machines, 225,235,245 The LC stands for long undercarriage giving better stability.

You wouldn't have done almost nothing without the powerful Foden, a great vehicle 👍! But now I'm very curious about this excavator with blocked tracks but I'm sure you will managed it good as you are 👍👍👍
You would have done almost nothing...
@yereverluvinuncleber of course I would have done almost nothing, so??

20years later, guy comes back for his excavator and found it is missing: "Damn, I just parked it here!"
Love theTime Team bants 😂
If you mount the top half of this excavator to the mark 3 centurion gun test platform, it would be the only one in the world.
🤣🤣
The front fell off?. The bloody lot fell off that shed.. well done lads. The Clarke and Dawe reference was bloody hilarious,and features in alot of my ramblings,
0:19 no that's why you want Whistling Diesel's truck for!!!! 😂😂😂 Jack...... funny f**ker, had me in bits as he's done his Time Team speech!!! 😂😂😂
More top quality entertainment lads on a Sunday ! It's a lot better than watching countryfile ! Keep up the good work ....lol
Goes from perfectly flat ground and drags it through boulders and some poor guys hunting blind…. Brilliant lol!
I was actually crying luaghing at the time team part who ever knew CAT digger could be roman? XD
it was probably used up there in some kind of ancient Roman ritual
@@JohnWatkinsUK Must be something to do with summer solstice? 🤣
How'd you think they built the colosseum?
Foden is brilliant . Missing ted the dog though thanks for sharing. 🐕
thanks for the videos! with respect regardless of the accent i believe it is professor or doctor Harding! he worked hard for the titles and i think he deserves them.
The bloke is a legend! Il remember to add that in next time
@@MrHewes truly he is i miss dr aston and why is tony a sir? never mind lol again thanks for the vids and giggles i like your toys
Phil isn't a doctor or a professor. He would often take the mick out of Mick for being a professor, and therefore much cleverer on paper.
@@Rover200Power im going to have to pull a tony lol University of Southampton Doctor of the University (D.Univ) its a technicality but im running with it lol
judging from the digger that call was a long time in coming lol...super video and thanks.
wearing the "Freddy Krueger" shirt. LOL! Nice barn find!
HE GOT THAT CLEET SHIRT HELL YEAH BROTHER
Only just seen that video again a few months ago with the front falling off 😂 always a classic
Watching these video`s makes a bad day into funny day they are so funny, they make my day everytime i watch them.
That Foden is a strong old girl for dragging it through the mud, nice that someone will do something with that old digger.
My wife walked by and said this looks like a Monty Python TV show. I'm not sure she's wrong about that...😁
No cardboard or cardboard derivatives. One of my favourite videos of all times!
The Foden is a beast, yes I think you should get the old digger back up and running.
Proper work then chaps. Hoping you lot get the digger purring once again !
The mighty Foden looks bloody good in black!
Engineers, Recovery experts, and now Demolition! Is there no end to your talents? 🤣
Nice bit of kit that Foden 👌
This makes other KZhead channels look fake and hyped
I like the idea that somebody just parked it there thinking, "I'll get back to this at some point.".
Getting use outta that Hilux!!!
Surprised still there not parts yet 😂
That is really impressive pulling power wow
Theres having the right tools, and then theres also having a Foden! If you boys are up for it, the Titanic needs dragging back to shore, I think the Foden will do it with ease!
Jacks impersonations were out standing.. If he retires from tank fiddling, he has a future on the stage.
I've become a fan since i watched the episode of @whistlindiesel buying your tank! I'm in Leicestershire and restoring a chevy c10 👍
Bro did you vlog your time with WD? If so please upload the footage. Would love to see it also ty WD, for the channel recommendation.
That Foden could winch just about anything. It certainly gave it a good try in this video.
watchin' from NZ and loving what you do
That Foden must've paid for itself twice over by now. What a tool.... the Foden I mean...😂
Yes get the lovely cat going
You might eventually use capability of the Foden that has never been used! What a tremendous piece of kit! I want one
What a magnificent mega performance from the Foden, I really, really want one 😍
There are many ways this excavator excavates: this was by far the most amusing
That pulled well. Cheers
Get the old girl going Joe they are good machine s worth saving !
I plan to
Top drawer episode. Every Foden episode is one for the time capsule.
That Foden was something else. It wasn't even struggling.
That Foden is an absolute beast, I didn't think it would be able to drag that out
Easy work
@@MrHewes is it better now the motor is dialed up a bit?
This is vaguely reminiscent of heavy D Sparks, but with more humour, would love to see you repair it unlike Dave Sparks who'd just scrap it.
That faux-den is a beast!
Fun to watch big stuff being pulled by big stuff. And, since you guys have finished all of your other projects, you needed another one. Not sure where you're gonna put it, however.
I've arrived from Whistlin Diesels channel, great channel Mr Hewes
need to get a big single axle with truck wheels, and small platform for the tracks to sit on ,lift it up and put the axle under the middle of both tracks, undo the hydrolic lines and fold the arm and bucket in, and chain it, then tow from the bucket, done in an hour, and on the road without having to get a trailer
Aha awesome!! I bet you guys will get this running again
Good job you got the door open, you could have been stuck in that cab forever
