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.

Great to watch the Foden truck's recovery winch pull the excavator (with non rotating tracks) as if it was a go cart! I can only imagine the force required to move the excavator; 60,000 lbs (roughly 27,000 kg) or more would be my guess. I hope the old Caterpillar excavator becomes a new project soon; it should be interesting!

The pair of outriggers, their design heavy duty and they really dig in to hold the trick when winching.
Great to watch the Foden truck's recovery winch pull the excavator (with non rotating tracks) as if it was a go cart! I can only imagine the force required to move the excavator; 60,000 lbs (roughly 27,000 kg) or more would be my guess. I hope the old Caterpillar excavator becomes a new project soon; it should be interesting!
Foden 💪. Proper job! 👍

Like to see a Scammell Pioneer Recovery vehicle do a side by side pull
How come it takes Dave Heavy D Sparks and 20 other dudes and 10 vehicles to recovery something like this and you pair can do it with a few tools and and a 38 year old recovery truck.... Keep up the great work

That Foden has some bloody grunt 👍👍👍
Yes mr Hewes,gotta love a cat.
Got to love the old Foden❤👍🏴
Goes from perfectly flat ground and drags it through boulders and some poor guys hunting blind…. Brilliant lol!
My wife walked by and said this looks like a Monty Python TV show. I'm not sure she's wrong about that...😁
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,
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.

That Foden is a strong old girl for dragging it through the mud, nice that someone will do something with that old digger.
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!!! 😂😂😂
I like the idea that somebody just parked it there thinking, "I'll get back to this at some point.".
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 👍👍👍

judging from the digger that call was a long time in coming lol...super video and thanks.
Proper work then chaps. Hoping you lot get the digger purring once again !
Foden is brilliant . Missing ted the dog though thanks for sharing. 🐕
wearing the "Freddy Krueger" shirt. LOL! Nice barn find!
More top quality entertainment lads on a Sunday ! It's a lot better than watching countryfile ! Keep up the good work ....lol
Only just seen that video again a few months ago with the front falling off 😂 always a classic
The mighty Foden looks bloody good in black!
This makes other KZread channels look fake and hyped
The Foden is a beast, yes I think you should get the old digger back up and running.
Engineers, Recovery experts, and now Demolition! Is there no end to your talents? 🤣
watchin' from NZ and loving what you do
Jacks impersonations were out standing.. If he retires from tank fiddling, he has a future on the stage.
Watching these video`s makes a bad day into funny day they are so funny, they make my day everytime i watch them.
There are many ways this excavator excavates: this was by far the most amusing
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!
Can’t believe it, hilarious as well as constructive-beats a lot of similar stuff I have seen elsewhere by a country mile. Brilliant, just brilliant, no BS, you know exactly how to get stuff done without stopping every 5 minutes to explain it all to the viewer, what a pleasant change. Greetings from Tasmania Australia, a Leeds tyke living in exile down under, you make my day.👍🛠😁🇦🇺🦘
HE GOT THAT CLEET SHIRT HELL YEAH BROTHER
I've arrived from Whistlin Diesels channel, great channel Mr Hewes
That Foden could winch just about anything. It certainly gave it a good try in this video.
That Foden was something else. It wasn't even struggling.
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.
You might eventually use capability of the Foden that has never been used! What a tremendous piece of kit! I want one
This machine makes people's life more wonderful
That set up was badass. Man that thing didnt even sound that strained at all doing that. Heavy d from deisel bros would have pulleys upon pulleys set out and his rigs look like their about to explode.
That is really impressive pulling power wow
Get the old girl going Joe they are good machine s worth saving !

It was a good thing the driver's door was locked on that loader. Someone would have stolen it if it hadn't been. (Sarcasm.) Good luck getting her running! ( Not sarcasm.). Too bad there isn't a 105mm on the turret of that thing, your friends would be more excited about working on it. Love your channel!
Never was thinking the Foden was going to shift it but i am amazed
What a magnificent mega performance from the Foden, I really, really want one 😍
Ok. First time watching you, really good. Taking the piss out of the Time Team, priceless! Thanks for posting. Vinder-Kated! Bahahahah
That Foden must've paid for itself twice over by now. What a tool.... the Foden I mean...😂
Yes get the lovely cat going
AWESOME AS ALWAYS
Top drawer episode. Every Foden episode is one for the time capsule.
Aha awesome!! I bet you guys will get this running again
