You can't beat a C series volvo, Here in the uk we had some of those in the quarry industry and they ran circles around the newer series of volvo dumptrucks in wet ' muddy conditions. We had them with 15,000 hours on them and they where still going when they where sold, if you un do the catch for the radiator cover on the oil filter side you can lift it off and the there is a bolt that holds the radiator tight, undo that and the radiator will slide sideways and you can gain better access to the oil filter side of the engine. The fuel tank goes through and is under the radiator aswell, you will find the fuel gauge works off the bottom tank, your gear selector is wierd how it is marked, 1st gear is at the top of the selector nearest the dash, then 2nd then 3rd, the next one down is drive to use it in fully automatic, the next one down is neutral, then the furthest on down is reverse, your handbrake is of when the brake lever is pointinting upwards and on when it is pulled down, Put the gear lever up one place from the neutral it will then drive in all gears When it is in low range you should get roughly 20/ 22 mph and about 32 ish in high range, , i think if that light is on , on the right hand side you where looking at it has not gone into high range, Best wishes for 2022.

That's like the old Cat excavators here in the US, the people that aren't a huge company writing off brand new excavators every year will keep rebuilding the old ones because they're rock solid. We had a job where the guy doing demo had a late 90s cat 320 or something around that size with over 30k hours and he had put most of them on it.

If that steady drip underneath is transmission fluid, low fluid level might be the reason it doesnt want to shift. Cant wait to see you fix her up.

There’s a big plug on top of the tranny on the rad side sometimes it gets dirty and losses connection and unplugging it a blowing it out with air will be enough to make it shift again but I’ll warn ya it’s a real bitch to get at even with the seat out and floor boards out. I’m not say that will fix your exact problem but it did on the 30 ton we had at our shop of that same vintage. Not sure if that helps but happy new year and can’t wait to see it on a job.

Looks like a pretty clean machine considering the year. Spend a few bucks on maintenance and fixing the little things and your good to go. Good used machine bought right will pay for itself in a hurry. Hope you have great luck with it.

Happy new year Chris. Hope it's the best one yet. That truck is gonna be a great addition to your personal fleet. The right tool for the job can save a ton of money.

These trucks are great even if they're old now. 6x6 works like a charm and they are robust and rugged for tough conditions. And you gotta love the sound from that straight six Volvo TD engine. Take out the muffler and it will sound even greater!

We have an A25C with a different style shifter. Two things are to note from it. 1, unless the gas pedal is all the way up it will not let you shift from forward to reverse. 2, There is a potentiometer on the throttle pivot of the injection pump that controls when the transmission shifts.

Looks great. I am sure you can get some good videos going over this truck and getting it back into shape. You might consider downloading the service manual for the truck. Seems like it would be worth the small cost. All the best to you in 2022!

Can't wait to see her in service. Happy New Year's to all from Siesta Key Florida

I dig the cage on the back window. stops run away riff-raff coming in the cab with ya. you might want to cut a little bit off that airline compression fitting. it may have a memory on it. an indentation. Did you verify the hi-low actuator was changing positions? It may be limited to 3 gears in low and the rest in high mode. Man, it would be fun troubleshooting, doing fresh service of all fluids and filters. Hard to imagine the money it takes to keep that stuff in top-notch running condition. The repacking of the turning cylinders looks very difficult and time-consuming. If you need a driver just hollar! Happy New Year, Chris & Cheers from Louisiana.

Guessing a solenoid isn’t supplying the dash power. Looks like a solid start to a truck with plenty of life left in it.

Congratulations on your new ride! Hope to see it being serviced and on the job soon. Happy New Year sir.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Seeing as all the gauges aren't working, I would be looking for a common grounding problem. Should be an easy fix. Pretty rare for them ALL to be fried. Looks like a sweet purchase, good luck with it. Best regards from Indiana.

Happy New Years Chris. Nice addition to your fleet all your hard work and perseverance pays off. Stay healthy and safe sir. From Ponoka Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

Fuel is in the back where you done put fuel in, hydro fluid is in the front driver side bumper , also that other side hydro radiator should rotate on a pin so you can get to that side of the motor. If is not shifting in all gear is probably low on fluid. It should also run in low or high range with lockers on for 2x or 4x6 .

First thing I noticed was how good the tires looked, lol. Congrats on the new toy. You can download a .pdf file to your phone or pc of the Volvo a25c service manual from online, but it costs around $60. Could be useful.

Congrats on your purchase. The motor sounds smooth. The other things are repairable.

Well done a great buy. No computer eco rubbish , a good service and a few seals you will be glad you bought it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Toured a coal mine in eastern Kentucky. They said on guy's main job was to keep overburden debris cleaned off the haul roads. A basket ball size rock could destroy a tire on one of their giant dump trucks and cost 30 grand to replace. They also had a spray truck that would spray the roads in the dry summer to keep the dust down.

I'm know expert but when I saw the rust on the bonnet, I thought it may have had a fire in the engine compartment, until you popped the bonnet and I saw where the turbo was, now I think the turbo may be running really hot. Might be a good idea to keep an eye on it.

No A/C needed in a few minutes. Texas temp was 74 this morning and it's 43 now at 6:30pm. Low tonight of 22 is very cold for North Texas. Only a barbed wire fence holding it back. Get ready. Nice dump truck. You will have it in tip top shape in no time. Spray a little ArmorAll on the tires and slick it up. Happy New Year to you Chris.

Congrats on the new addition to your fleet. A full service will do it wonders. Getting things right under the dash panels would be a good early project. She seems solid overall. Like you said, it will pay for itself on just a couple decent size jobs.

Great add to your fleet. Happy new year Chris !

Oh wow, a Volvo dumper for christmas! AWESOME! HAppy New Dumper, ah, Year Chris! 🥂

Yeah you can get online and get a manual on it, these days you can get a manual for anything and just print it out! Looks good enough brother, you have to start somewhere and you know that Chris! Thanks for sharing brother, can’t wait to see you doing service on it!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Wow, congratulations! Blessings for a safe and prosperous New Year. We luv watching ur videos!!!

Hi Chris. We are ALL excited and happy for you! What a great addition to your work force. This will greatly increase your productivity on your jobs. Praying for you, and all the best for you in this new year! Blessings Sincerely Ed from Chicago

I worked in a landfill that owned one just like this. The rest of the trucks there were Cats. The Volvo was my favorite one to drive and was by far the fastest. I would pass a Cat truck on every round.

Congratulations brother I like her. One of the first things I do when I buy something is order a manual, normally a shop manual. It would definitely be worth the investment.

Congratulations on the truck. I hope it works out for you. Happy new year.

Why didn't you check if the DEF tank was topped up? Just kidding, very nice piece of equipment right there. Keep up the amazing work and content!

Oh the fun we're going to have watching you hammer this honker into shape. LuvIt.

Awesome trucks. I've worked on these with over 20k hours and still reliable tools. Second fuel tank is in the front wing. Radiator moves for maintenance. Tipper cables were a crap job on landfill sites! There's a slack adjuster on the handbrake from memory. You'll be pleased as punch with her when you get her to job and use it. Only thing better than a 25c is a fleet of 25c's! Great content, brought back some find memories. Ps first click is auto and counts down gears as you push forward. Put it in auto and heel to the steel!

Well. Last was Bouncing Betty, now we get to see Harvey the Haul truck. Should be a great addition once you get the bugs worked. The fact that you already have the work lined up for it to pay for itself is icing on the cake. Hope it works out really well for you. 👍😎😉

I hope the New Year will be a very good year for you and I will look forward to more of your very interesting videos. Again Thank You for your time putting together the different videos which are very enjoyable to watch.

When you check/clean all the ground wires. First get you a bottle of conductive anti-seeze. It's like regular anit-seeze but it has powdered copper in it. It makes for a very low impedance grounding which will make your electrical systems work much better. It also stops surface corrosion that will degrade the ground over time. Replacing the crimp on ring terminals with soldered ones will help on the gauge circuits too.

Chris looks like a nice truck, with a little fixing up. I hope it all goes well fixing her up. How's Betty coming along?? Sad you didn't get that scraper pan though!!!!

An old boss to me over in Sweden always changed the tires 2 and 2 and put the new ones on the tractor and moved the worst set to the back, he got the most life out of them that way. Had it in a mine that crushed rock to gravel so it was heavily loaded all the time 🤭

Nice straight truck Chris! My dad had an A25 back in the 90s and I loved it! You’ll get the bugs worked out and have a nice truck. Happy new year 👍🏻

Looking forward to see you working on it and working with it.

As others have said the main fuel tank is under the radiator with gravity feed from the one behind the cab. The tranny is an oddball of sorts for Volvo, it is a ZF trans which is a solid unit by all accounts and not volvo like most of their offroad trucks. A lot of things affect the shifting on these units as I have one and have had a few issues develop. The recommended oil change in the tranny is 500 hours so I would suggest you do that when you do your service. I bought a used service manual for mine and it has been a tremendous help in tracking down wiring issues and troubleshooting various issues. One thing a Volvo service guy told me to be careful about was to shut the engine down prior to turning the key switch to the off position. Something about turning the key off shuts off the voltage regulator in the alternator which could let spike voltage go through the system and he had seen it damage the trans ecu. When I 1st got mine I shut it down the same way that I saw you doing it but printed some signs and put in the cab as reminders.

As for your park brake to see if they back it out and lock it . It’s nice and yes you need it .

Happy New Year!! Just like the Volvo I used to drive. Just found some pics I took of the one I drove back in 2008-2010. I'm really guessing here, but I think, for High-Range, put it in 4th and the truck will shift through the gears. Low-Range you can pick the gear, and if you choose 3rd, it will shift through 1 and 2. But if you're running loaded, you want to be in 1st to start in Low Range. Those A25c Volvo are workhorses. I think that fuel cap is after-market, I don't recall the one I ran having one like that, no locking cap. I also ran a Moxy, didn't like it, was too tippy, and then a Terex.

Congrats Man you'll have her shining in no time! 💪🏼 Sight unseen is scary stuff I did it once and got burnt cuz Dirt Perfect says "if I'm willing to buy it sight unseen so is someone else"!! Haha

Yes and they will go a lot of places newer ones won't

Seems like you did get a bit lucky with the truck, must be a reasonably new air compressor as well, they're known for passing a lot of oil when they're worn or the filters are blocked (and a lot of water even when they're not lol). Park brake valve is a common part Volvo use on everything (cabovers, buses etc) so should be easy to replace, depending on what transmission is in it could be an electrical issue with not shifting into higher gears, the ZF's from that era can have solenoids go bad leaving you with only 1st and 2nd (or 3rd as well) but no overdrive.

Can't wait to see the video for the job it's on. Nice to have gotten a new one, but a good used one will pay its own way.

After watchin you now for awhile ,I know you'll have her up and running in no time. Hope you'll post vids on what all you do. Happy New Year!

You need an Owners Manual for that haul truck - ask your Volvo sales buddy if he will get you a copy. No problem with loading with Ol` Betty after you get the recent repairs made to her.

Chris, I've been watching your channel for about a month or so now and I'm kind of curious. You and your uncle have an excavation business, that has equipment purchased by the company. Are you looking to break out on your own? Is that why you're getting your own heavy equipment, or is it just that you like having your own fleet of big iron? My mom's older brother had an excavation company in Indiana until he retired. I never got to watch him work, so I never got to see how sensitive a touch he had. I did see you lift a water bottle with the bucket and thumb, which I thought was amazing. It's also really cool to see you clean off a shed or carport and hardly leave a mark in the dirt. My hat's off to you, sir. Well done!
