Just a tip from an old maintenance man, when using an adjustable wrench, never pull against the movable jaw, always pull against the fixed jaw. Prevents tool breakage.

Hey Uncle Brian and Grant.....it be cool to attach your tie stuff from this video to your hyrail truck...........and use Hydraulic system from truck to run Grant neat system..use boom to move ties and this equipment around and use locks and chains for security 😀👍We are so excited for the ETR....WoW can hardly wait for "FIRST REVENUE CARS "....many God's Prays 🙏😀

I have shared your channel with some friends of mine at Norfolk and Southern railroad we may plan on coming with two track laying crew with more old but newer ties to help you get all track up and running plus all switchs working.

Now that summer is here that little dozer needs to be out burning expensive diesel. Drainage, ties, plates, spikes: the time is now. Notice any water coming out of the drainage pond to the east? ETR nation needs more videos with any kind of story to tell of the progress of the future great ETR.

“Do you think I can do it?” ….. “NO!” 😂 😂😂😂😂

I know small engines pretty well and IMO you will need at least a 14 HP engine to power that tie puller. The Wisconsin engine should be rebuildable with new piston/rings, bearings and a little head work. It won't be as efficient as a later OHV engine but you'll need the power it can produce.
