I used to deliver that unit to job sites for Rampart Industries. It is a hydro mill used to water blast concrete from parking garages and road surfaces. The ramps are used to store a machine that had a big rotary milling head to blast large sections of concrete from bridges. Brought back some memories of moving them trailers for them. They were located in Coraoplolis, PA. By the airport.

So very true..!

Matt I have an old 270 hp turbocharged intercooled 3306 Cat running a big centrifugal fan on some Opal mining machinery mounted on the back of a truck. The setup sucks excavated dirt to the surface through a chain of eight foot lengths of eight inch diameter pipe and also circulates fresh air through galleries in a mine at the same time. I installed an analog watchdog like the one on your C13 when I transplanted the engine out of a derelict truck because the 680 Leyland it replaced dropped a valve while running and threw a leg out of bed and there was no watchdog on the system at that time. Start procedure requires holding down an override button for the oil pressure shutoff on the watchdog panel with one hand while cranking and after the engine fires until the pressure rises below a preset minimum. If you don't hold down the override for long enough after the engine starts, the watchdog shuts it down again due to oil pressure not reaching or sustaining whatever minimum pressure it is set at. Looks like two buttons are visible near the starter key on the watchdog panel for your C13 and I reckon when Sam unplugged that lead it might be that he isolated at least part of the watchdog system. It could be worth plugging that lead back in and experimenting with holding in those buttons until oil pressure gets up during start. Because a watchdog in good working condition can be priceless insurance for any engine especially if it is left unattended for any length of time and indications are that the engine on that contraption maybe was.

I love to see how the comments and love has grown with your channel Matt, being a long time viewer it fills my heart with happiness seeing this amazing community and what we can do with a little bit of elbow grease and a camera. Stay blessed my friend 🫶🙏

had a modern version on a building site i was working on. they used it to blast off concrete with super high pressure water... like 3000 bar, so that rebar could be recycled or slabs that werent up to spec could be re-poured without the structural work having to be re-done. this stuff could cut you in half and sounded like a jet engine

What sam did reminded me of a story The Graybeard engineer retired and a few weeks later the Big Machine broke down, which was essential to the company’s revenue. The Manager couldn’t get the machine to work again so the company called in Graybeard as an independent consultant. Graybeard agrees. He walks into the factory, takes a look at the Big Machine, grabs a sledge hammer, and whacks the machine once whereupon the machine starts right up. Graybeard leaves and the company is making money again. The next day Manager receives a bill from Graybeard for $5,000. Manager is furious at the price and refuses to pay. Graybeard assures him that it’s a fair price. Manager retorts that if it’s a fair price Graybeard won’t mind itemizing the bill. Graybeard agrees that this is a fair request and complies. The new, itemized bill reads…. Hammer: $5 Knowing where to hit the machine with hammer: $4995

@handymansteve

sounds alot like the old shipyard mechanic story..... same premise

Had to stop yelling at the TV. The big light saying low water, would have been an auto shut off for the motor to protect the pump. ( when it had a HP pump) The hydro demolition unit would have had a tracked vehicle/bobcat of some description that would have held one slowly rotating nozzle, that is used to breakup concrete. Its a way to remove damaged concrete back to the rebar without causing more damage to the base material through vibrations. When that unit was operational it would have been a incredibly powerful machine. Good score on the unit though, you will definitely make your money back plus more.

In the heart of Diesel Creek, a daring gamble was unfolding. A mysterious unit had been won at the Ritchie Brothers Auction, sight unseen, for a hefty sum of nearly $6000. The unit, a peculiar ensemble of a hydro demolition trailer, two power units, a poly tank, and a 20-foot sea can, held a promise of untold treasures or crushing disappointment. The first encounter with the unit was a sight to behold. The power units, once connected to some sort of water pump, stood silent and imposing. The poly tank loomed overhead, its purpose yet to be discovered. The sea can, a massive metal box, held the allure of the unknown, its contents hidden from the world. Surrounding the unit were fuel tanks, sadly all empty, and a 48-foot flat deck trailer in surprisingly decent shape. The heart of the gamble, however, lay in the two Caterpillar C13 diesel engines. These engines, once the beating heart of many a truck, now sat stationary, their fate hanging in the balance. One was missing components, its future uncertain. The other, complete and intact, held a glimmer of hope. The journey to uncover the secrets of the unit was fraught with anticipation. The man door leading into the container was opened, revealing... well, that's yet to be discovered. The windows, covered up, offered no clues. The missing cooling pack on one engine was a setback, but the discovery of a battery tray with potentially good batteries was a small victory. As the exploration continued, the condition of the unit became clearer. The trailer, despite some surface rust, was in good shape. The tires, 11r225, were in excellent condition. The fuel tanks, though empty, were intact. The gamble was far from over. The engines needed to be tested, the container explored, and the true value of the unit determined. But the spirit of adventure was alive and well in Diesel Creek. The thrill of the unknown, the promise of discovery, and the potential for profit fueled the journey. As the sun set over Diesel Creek, the unit stood as a symbol of daring, of the thrill of the gamble, and of the adventure that lay ahead. The journey had just begun, and the future held the promise of excitement, discovery, and hopefully, a running engine. Here's to the adventure that is Diesel Creek, where every gamble is a story waiting to be told.

Matt the ramps on the back are for loading the robots up used for hydro demolition. We have lots of trailers built out doing the same thing at work here in Texas. The pumps though on your unit are to small for concrete removal. The smallest pump most people run down here is 60000psi @ 1000gal per min. More than likely your unit was used for the removal of growth on ship hull’s and the removal of paint on them along with the lining of storage tanks for the refinery’s.

If it's from a company, then you're fine but 99% guaranteed if it's some billy joe down the road throwing something in the auction to sell, its a bad buy for sure. I have proven myself right dozens of times yet still too stupid to follow my own rule.

Hi Matt!!! Word of advice: When you are using a jumper pack with dead batteries, not only does the jumper pack have to power the starter, but it also has to charge those batteries. Parallel circuit. Try either charging the batteries first or disconnect the batteries while using the jumper pack. -Cheers. :)

You may want to check with any local metal finishing companies to see if they have any interest. We paid around $850 each for ours used.

Be keeping an eye on those auctions, I work for a company that’s cleaning out one of our yards in camben NJ and they just sent two cranes through Richie brothers, one went for 2900 and the other 2000. I’ve seen both run so there is some good stuff to be bought cheap from here.

That’s exactly what I do lol

With truck/trailer prices recently, the flatdeck by itself is worth more than what you paid for the entire setup.

Agreed! And on top of that, sometimes what provides a vital function for one outfit is so specific that the component parts are worthless to anyone as assembled… which means that stripping that trailer down unlocked all the resale value the thing has to offer!

Enjoyable video Matt thank you

I love your show and ingenuity! Thanks for posting! old man that is retired.

That thing used to have a huge water pump in the middle, like 800+ bar. It was used to cut concrete or steel, or to drill deep holes in the bedrock or something. I've seen a similiar rigs on at couple of job sites here in europe.

I really enjoy your Videos, Matt. I was in IT for 30 plus years so I am not a mechanical person but appreciate your tech skills and never miss a video. Good stuff.

The sum of the parts is worth more than the whole! Good eye Matt.

Love the new format 👍🏾👍🏾 keep it coming

That cable is probably an interlock to the low water tank level alarm. Stop the pump running dry.

I always watch your videos to the end cause that is when you get to see the teaser. I like the added voice of upcoming things. It works well with your ending. These are the kind of videos that are quite good. Gives us an broad range of things from fixing, to exploring, to tearing stuff apart!

Super excited for more videos on the autocar. Keep up the great work matt.

I used something very similar here in NZ for concrete demolition. It had a c11 that direct drove a 3 piston 20,000psi pump to a hand held blaster nozzle, the filters are super good filter units cause any dirt will mess the pump pistons up real bad.

Whew! Was staring to get worried!

You found more than Geraldo did with Capone's vault.😂

Good video…I figured that what isn’t placed into your working line up, gets flipped. Some stuff requires more repair/refurbishing than others. Then there’s breaking things down and selling the parts, scrap, and of course the ever present “maybe one day” graveyard. It is always good to have friends that know a little sumpin’ bout stuff

Love this! Nice alternative to the wrenching/building videos. Gotta be honest - you've become my favorite YT channel. Mainly because you stay true to you - I love the down home, approachable feel of your videos. You're not pretentious, you're not over the top, you just get things done. I have no mechanical expertise or frankly interest - I have no need for any gear that you work on nor will I ever rebuild an engine or buy an antique piece of equipment. But who cares - you're way more real that "reality tv" while still remaining a true entertainer. The icing on the cake is the soundtrack from the Semi-Supervillians. Vinnie and crew are the perfect touch to your videos! As always keep up the great work!

Great score! Part of those fork pockets would be a great start to a mobile tool skid to use on your skid steer. Would be handy to have and use on your place when working on things. You could put your torch and and a welder on it along with other tools when needed. Glad you are keeping the shipping container, you can never have too many. Thanks for the great video.

Matt, that 1000 gallon tank woud be nice for mobile pressure washing, whether for yourself or to sell.

Solid trailer, two cat motors, 4 diesel tanks, 1000 gallon water tank and the container are well worth the $6 K 👍👍👍

Great content, love to see what you do with the auction finds!!

I was going to prematurely comment that you should unplug those wires as they look like remote controls probably controlled by the float in the tank. We use this setup a lot in dewatering setups

The override and/or maint switches may have bypassed external controls.

I can say only this. What-ever trailer you hook onto the A/C Constructor, looks all the better for being hooked to it! Up-grade it all you like, please don't change the look! So Classically Old School with it's Dayton spoke hub system.

Matt, I wonder if building some kind of counterweight box to hook on the back of Fat Alice might help with situations like this - maybe one that can be used between all of your machines that could benefit from one. It might be a quick and fun little project… Otherwise, good video as always!

that 90 gal. tank would do, make a cradle for it, so it can hook onto any machine, then fill it with water as needed....lift on, empty, then fill, use machine, drain tank, lift off empty..

It's very smart and wise to acknowledge when you lack the knowledge and ask for help because nobody can know everything about all things.

Man....there's a ton of good stuff on there worth what you paid for. Hell....the filter canister on the assembled engine is about $2500 new. The trailer could bring you your spend on this one.

😯your dog had my heart in my mouth going behind you like that. PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG INDOORS WHILE USING YOUR MACHINERY! wouldn't want your dog getting badly injured or killed😥!! bless it. great fing with the container and diesel engines. great video, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍

It's crazy how I subbed today and watched 7 of your videos already... Love the spread of your property and how you can space for all of your buys..

Never a boring video with you Matt keep up the good work

Matt that was way different from the usual equipment we see you start and use thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss a video and can't wait for next video

This was a good video and fun to watch you dismantle it all.

We used an electric version of a Woma Gun at a cement factory that I used to work at to blast buildup off of the walls of a pre-heater tower. Its a super high pressure/high flow pressure washer. It was powerful enough to cut through refractory and lift you off of the ground if you weren't paying attention.

Well my morning just started off right with a new diesel creek video. Great way to start the day. Thanks Matt!!!

Great video Matt! We definitely need a video on that 67-72 Chevy bucket truck hiding in the weeds 👍🏻

Good recovery!!

Matt it's always enjoyable to see what you've gotten yourself into...lol Was a great deal of work but you got it all broken down ..too bad you didn't find hidden treasures in the cargo container but you should do pretty well making a bit on your purchase. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure and appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎🇺🇸🛠️🛻🔧🚜👍😇

i have been a subscriber from the beginning your shop and everything has been so fun to watch and makes my day and gosh you have came so far your videos keep getting better and better 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Love your enthusiasm.😊

Well we see you have the equipment now to do anything you set your mind to. And some very useful friends. Kudos on the auction score. WOW.

You should keep the trailer with the box and ramps on it. It can hold your skid steer in the box and put your buckets and other attachments on the flatbed. It would be a great trailer to get auction buys too.
