Recovering CAT Excavator Left Abandoned!

thank you the secret mission today to recover a digger up a mountain it's all overgrown fine okay it's proper overground that's what you need a truck for literally never even knew this was her you'd have no idea wouldn't you [Music] know all right you've been sitting here a day too [Music] can't even open the door I don't think it needs a door I like this it's always good when there's trees growing out of it no idea how you drive this thing got a lot of a lot of bricks in the cab I wonder how they have got in there local uh yobbery marker I don't believe it the gauges are all intact they could try harder local when I was little you'd have smash the gauges out foreign got some bricks really wedged down here well even throwing some asbestos at it they mean business required by thinning I wonder what if there's a year no or it has a service Stamper but under that yeah it was about 2012. okay I'll tell you what I hope you paid good money yeah I know what I've got it he's definitely landed on his feet here with this yeah I mean it's worth a few point it's hardcore meow you don't need that much tape either um Joe ooh the tracks are 75 mil wide mate 75 centimeter tape measure works [Music] oh what a thing right well given that we're landlocked I'm looking the beach feel of everything that's on the foot to do now if you said I don't this is a bit of an obstacle course for me said do you want to go around and find anything you want to go around and find bigger parts and put them because they seem to be just scattered like lift you like a bomb's gone wrong oh there's an ancest there I think it needs new air cleaner really you know you just lost all credibility when you scared of that um can we cut that bit of that weird noise that you made that much use you when you're scared because you haven't went there yet I don't know what I think it's gonna be good entertainment what kind of donut sugaring Donut oh God no there's another one I don't like this I've got a jam in the middle yeah I've got a jam it's a ring donut well I don't want a ring donut okay we have got a starter motor this is good news the mice have nibbled around some of the wires don't think that matters the kids haven't actually wiring them up someone's robbed the fan oh I think the fan Zeb is in the front bucket I'm not going into that I need bleat it's slowly going the belts aren't moving are they well yeah but look at them thank you somewhere on here I'll have a cafe what do we think is it gonna do anything watch your head cat always wait and then look at Joe with them things I don't know what I don't watch any of the you watch a joke right here we go fire could happen so get rid on the fire extinguisher oh we have a dashboard come on oh we got a light we have a line look look at that where is the light oh yes and the amp the the water temperature gets goes straight to normal I can get them to turn up there we go right we're isolated now I believe it should I stand there just in case it's loose round hey yep it's trying to crank is that that pulley move very stuck I mean the pulley's moving a little bit yeah yeah look I won't buy a little bit I mean like two or three mil headlights all the cabinet is working oh the headlights are on oh this smash Ed I've got all the other side that's smashed as well at this point I realized there was only one thing for this digger [Music] we're gonna get this loaded we're going to back it over all the snails and stuff speak up you're on film sounds like a plan and then put the winch cable out to that chassis of the Digger bag of over there look at it winch the this way yes that sounds like a plan foreign [Music] let's go and see how far off we were I'll grab the hammer just in case just in case do you enjoy that little trip never had that one before way oh yes it's nice and nice and wet here yeah shall we just drag it straight over all the teamwork all right yes [Applause] does that fit no good what we need now is a shackle you join us here on Spring watch look at this lovely Place what's the chance that we'll just pull what you want to do is put that on there and then uh pull the pin through the next bit through there yeah yeah do I need to still some to do that uh probably somebody on the internet will tell us how to do it or we could have Adam here he'll tell us how to do it down no no I was lynching up Vindicated no there's a word that you use Vindicated vendor okay it Vindicated Tony I feel Vindicated there we go we found some Roman parts of pottery over here look at it smooth there's a nice Pebble up there that's from the Roman times there's a bit here from the Anglo-Saxon what date what date do you think we need the geophys team down there we've got to get Stuart and geophys team down here that's what Australian I don't know why now let's that up it's not Vindicated it's Vindicated it's a K in there not a c you're indicated the Vindicated that's it yeah I think we definitely need the geophys team down here get Alex with his maps to draw the maps of exactly the layout of this uh settlement it's always a good word settlement then we'll get Mick down here to tell us that actually it's prehistoric enough we'll have to push this outside the environment yeah yes yes outside the environment let's hope the front don't fall off that's a very expensive adjustable spanner that I was given just like everything else you want yeah we're going to tie it outside the environment there won't be anything out there but fish and birds and 20 000 tons of crude oil any combo derivatives no paper no sellotape sellotapes out right now it's deleted a load of nudes off the phone so we can take more film yep sorry about that we've connected the the pulley the D shackle to the Rope is that what you mean yeah there's 30 000 tons of crude oil spilling on the floor on fire right then just to give it a go go of it oh I think so far all that's doing is Towing the phone to it look at a slide She's a Beauty this is where we're thankful for it being a bit of a bog [Music] UE so it's starting to get a little bit interesting when it starts with this hardcore [Music] [Music] now in the way of everything wedged up under it I can't get the pin out for the winch which is not a problem no no so what we're gonna do we're gonna win and come back at the same time and then winter because we can winch and crane at the same time can we 've got a little bit more with the chain oh steady that's it keep going keep coming up a bit more with your boom oh God yeah yeah [Music] foreign whoa wow don't let it down yeah and the hammer yeah oh Jesus Christ try not to roll and ankle it is a touchdown we need a nice bit of host part though oh it's come with us [Music] basically it is good don't forget we've got a winch to get the bucket out oh yeah yeah can you see that everybody I thought from winch maybe yeah oh yeah let's just rub out with some random all night yeah let's get the Dig around

to it with a an Arctic trailer and get it on let me show you how far we've dragged it yeah stayed there the entire time lovely little tree that is we'll transplant that when we get back to ours we could flip the barn yeah only just no definitely not no I feel that bit of ditching well that's done done a nice job there no no to be fair that scaffolding has pulled up well with that really well there's a nice step out of there as well that one's half inching yeah I'm reckon we can I'll just have a quick quick nosy over here through all this slimy hardcore this is where we had the bit of trouble because uh believe it or not before we dragged it through that was fair a fair Bank of our core but uh yeah I dragged it all that way all through there to there and the tracks didn't turn an
