Love the channel . . Some microphones would add so much to be able to hear your wisdom! Keep it up Mr Hewes

If you're a yank, and I assume you are because you're moaning about sound quality, tell me; why are you all so useless at hearing everything? Is it because you're all so irritatingly loud all the time? You burn each others ears out in day-to-day conversation etc... If you're having trouble hearing any of this and you're not a yank, you need to see an aurologist, lively.

A handy piece of recovery kit to add to the fleet , and very handy round the farm for your dad

Without being condescending the knowledge you guys have whilst so young is commendable please keep up the amazing work you do.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the Bose PA rig in the workshop

Loved this content, & knew you'd get it going again but thought you'd cobble the burnt out fastrack lump in the hole, brilliant job as always, looking forward to the Stolly rebuild & hope Jack is sorted now! 😜👍

Great to see it back and running after all those years, will be a handy bit of kit to have.

The content is top notch whether its military or not. Any old iron being sorted is worth watching and anyone who disagrees aint a true full blown Petrol/Diesel/Steam head! Keep it coming!

True delight in the shed when it fired up. One of the continual joys of this channel is the vicarious feeling of joy, delight, pleasure when things go well as if we were actually invested either financially of physically in the whole project. Keep up the great work

The sheer reliability is AMAZING....THATS SOME ENGINEERING...OH YEAH

Never thought that would be so easy. Engine running, But everything else works aswell.. Great job, Great channel.

Personally I love seeing you revive machinery aswell. I could watch videos like this all day. Its all cool.

The “complete gyppo” comment had me chortling. Great little video. Glad to hear Jack’s doing ok after his op and will be back on the channel soon with his sarcastic comments.

Lummy, that engine sounds really sweet on first start up, really sweet 😁

Yeah it does and very little smoke . Think he got a good one there!

That engine starting on the back of the truck is cool ass, like a bringing a heart back to life

Happy birthday Joe, I always look forward to your videos. It's good to see younger people not afraid to get dirty and to get things running that have been setting for ever. You and your buddies truly have a gift for that. Keep up the good work.

You and the crew make it look so simple... well done lads and lasses.

Even without the turbo, you got this thing going in record time. Good on yah!!

Very cool. Love seeing these old abandoned vehicles given a new lease of life... plus diggers are always fun.

That machine will come in handy for so many projects. It still seems to have a lot of life left in it! Another great job well done and happy birthday!

Brilliant stuff. The smile when you get things running is fantastic. It's so cool seeing someone so passionate about something and getting joy from it. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.

Well done Joe, another one 'saved' & a good workhorse for around your place I'm sure. Best wishes to Jack, for a trouble free recovery from whatever surgery he required having 'bit's shaved .. 😉 .. 😂 Thanks for sharing .. 😂 .. 👍 atvb t ..

That is a great video! Really an accomplishment! And give our best wishes to Jack for a speedy recovery. We miss him.

excellent getting this thing back sorted. love to see you get it totally wrapped up and tidied.

Great to see you uploading regularly. Think we can all agree this is the best account on youtube . Great bunch of lads too

Great video. Great to see the old CAT coming back to life. Top job gents 👍

Great video, fantastic to see that engine start so easily after all those years in storage. 😎👍

Good work getting the old Cat running, it may struggle for lack of horses if operating multiple banks at the same time. You're fast becoming the English WD, you have the excavator, just need to set light to a Ferrari in one of your dad's fields now. Could call yourself "Misfiring/Sputtering Petrol" in keeping with a lot of the old military engines you have... It'll be great to see Jack back with his humour and the banter between you two.

I don't know about this particular model, but I know many old Cat engines were essentially identical between the NA and turbo versions. Pretty much the only differences on many is the injection pump, manifold, and turbo itself. Might be feasible to swap those parts over if they aren't too far gone. Regardless it'll be a fine machine as-is. Just gotta take things a bit slower.

Im amazed that that all worked so good after being left for so long in a field . Cool video 🙂

Good to see the “digger” is practical project. How is ‘our’ friend Jack I hear he has been to the hospital- give him our regards and tell him to get well soon - we are missing his gallows humour. Regards to all.

Not only does it run, it MAKES ITS OWN FUEL! 😆😆😆

great to see u good a good set of mates to help .Great update MR H

Superb video again. Love to see this old stuff getting used again. They don't build them like that anymore!

Hi, enjoyed this mini series, many thanks.

Another brilliant Sunday afternoon movie, thanks !!

Nice to see Ted turning up when all the work has been done!.....thats the perks of being the boss though!

I really enjoy these solo work videos. Cheers from Australia

Well done, great result access to an engine replacement was huge bonus.

I like watching any form of mechanicing, generally between you and watch wes work. Tanks are cool but so are diggers it’s all cool, Keep up the good work Joe and belated happy birthday.

Joe Hewes, you're a flaming miracle worker, mate! Brilliant!

When the boys ready with fixing, the girls clean it and give a shift fresh paint ❤Vivian Hyde 😊

The smiles say it all. Awesome bloody job.

Cracking job Mr Hewes!! sounds like a good runner too! Phil

Great score. That will come in handy just as a crane for pack lifts.

Nice work! Was expecting some more hoses to blew up after sitting for so long. 😄Very durable machine!

That was pretty cool, amazed that everything worked so well. If you're too tight to put fresh diesel in it, filter old hydraulic oil, & thin it down with some old brake fluid.

The way your head bobs up and down as it atarts to come to life on that truck bed was to funny 😂

First class job, well done I hope there's going to be more videos on the Cat 215. Keep the good videos coming.

Super a good service and clean fuel tank.... and she will be ready for work!👍

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Looking forward to more.

You got some well earned luck with getting that going and it looks a good 'un with no obvious looseness in the boom or stick pivots or - perish the thought- the slew assembly! undercarriage looks sound too. Well done on saving it because anyone else would have taken it out of that hole with the cutting torch 👍

Happy birthday Joe. Awesome channel, great result there with the cat. Always good to see Ted. Much respect from West Wales

Quite frankly Joe, you deserve a medal for working and filming in this heat and humidity. Right now I make a cabbage look energetic. I should have been born somewhere in northern Norway. 🫠❤🫠

Been watching you guys for a few month's.... not going to miss another episode , ever ... love the channel..

Brilliant! Obviously you lot would get it up and running again 👍😊.

I’ve absolutely no problem with digger content. I’m well chuffed with this episode. Y’all nearly jumped out of your skin when you first touched the starter wire. I’m not sure about the new style programming. Things working out fairly easily and all. It’s supposed to be more of a fight. 😂

You make everything look so easy.

I've Operated 360's for the last 28 years, and it was a pleasure seeing you getting it going again, well done fella

Good news all round , a service for the old girl and that it! I suspect every hose is toast but still very good to see , Thanks guys this lots of fun to watch!

Awesome! Good to see old iron moving again!

Engine seems to like it's new ride. If the digger minds, it doesn't show. Well done.

It's great to see another vehicle back from the dead. A very useful tool too.

What a brilliant video I,ve been following your progress on the cat as I cut my teeth on this model as an apprentice would be great to see her finished and glazed keep up the plant rescues joe 😀

Beautiful start up

Hope Jack has an easy recovery. Can't wait to see the next steps for the T-34

Best wishes to Jack, quick recovery.

Great video. Hopefully we can see it digging at some point.

Amazing Job Getting the Cat up and Running 👌🏽👌🏽🍾

Enjoyed the video again boys and girls and lovely ted thankyou 🐕

You guys Ace it every time...

Well done Joe and team another brilliant save! I have been a life long hay fever victim, a few years ago a friend put me on to Flixonase, unlike all the other stuff I had tried it really works for me. You may have to go to the quack for a prescription but don't get fobbed of with anything else.

As per usual you never fail to impress! Bravo! Very well done!

Congratulations on getting the digger up and running! And I hope you have a very happy birthday!🎉

That engine started well 👌🏻 runs like a dream

A nice diversion from the tanking & belated happy birthday!

Blimey! That engine sounds lovely!

What you do is entertain us who can’t do what you do, great to see it useful and top video content to boot!

Well done, for a second hand engine, a couple of pipes a lot of skill and hard work the old girl starts another life.

Personally I love pretty much all heavy equipment so these videos have been pretty much just as good as the tank ones :D

Another great video Joe - I always enjoy all your content.

Very enjoyable video. You ‘get stuff done’.👍

Excellent team work and a great watch 👍🏼🏴‍☠️✌🏼

I love your videos and watching them motivates me.

Great video glad to see it running

Good on you all, best of luck, Tony Marsh.

We’re not in a sterile workshop “ 😂 that comment made me laugh

WHAT A BABE!!! Love a good kitty cat starting video

Great world lads! and lass. sometimes the junkyard motor is actually a good runner!

belated birthday message 'your getting older' all best to Jack and having his legs done to pin up super model length hope the weather stays warm but not too hot to do tank work great to see the Cat thing working again, sure you'll find something suitable to crush with it, of pick a boxing match with something similar

You guys are getting way too good at this. No one should have that easy of a first start up lol

I laughed like hells bells ringing when the Cat motor sprang to life. Obviously, you couldn’t believe it either, hence the second start attempt to confirm you weren’t dreaming!!! 😃 The birthday gods were smiling on you Joe, but only until you needed new hoses! I’ll never understand the price gouging mentality. When new customers came my way, I did whatever I could to keep em coming back. I guess greed never takes a day off. Anyhow, I spent my Sunday morning in my easy chair with a cup of coffee enjoying your program. Bravo sir, another job well done!!! Btw, hopefully I speak for all in wishing Jack a speedy recovery and I can’t wait for him to get back into the mix. Slow & easy is the best way to heal up & live life. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

Love the Bose 302/802 workshop sound system!

Oh wow. The sequel we all wanted...and all expected!

Nice grab. I like how the torque shimmied the whole truck. Cheers from the US guys. ✊🏼 One thought tho gents, some exhaust fans in the shop.

You made a fantastic job of that,

Good job Lads and Camera crew 😉😎

Love this channel.I know nothing about fixing or engineering but love your process from broken abandoned junk to working again.I think you need a better sound recording system as its hard to hear you sometimes.Keep up the great work!

Love the channel Mr Hewes, keep up the good work and the great content!

Brilliant. Had the pleasure of driving a 215 30 years ago, and would have one again tomorrow, far superior machine to the current offerings.

you are such an intelligent and likable chap, I am currently catching up on all of the videos on the site, they are BRILLIANT :)
