Buying and Fixing a Cheap V8 Dump Truck: Will It Climb My Steep 6km Driveway? Or Die Trying...

I bought a cheap, rusty V8 tip truck with mechanical issues and had it dropped off at the bottom of my steep 6km mountain driveway. Over three days, I battled breakdowns and repairs to get it up to my workshop. Watch as I tackle the clutch failure, engine problems, and more to see if this old beast can make it to the top!

I don’t know what’s more impressive, your ingenuity in getting that truck up there or the fact that you stopped many times to set up the camera!

A long time ago, somewhere in a factory in Japan, they put a clutch pipe on the factory floor and built a truck around it....

It won't be long before you have a couple of dedicated helpers - as soon as their feet can reach the pedals and their arms are strong enough for gears and steering! What a superb start to life at an early age.

I really love your calm and relaxed approach - no problems for you only solutions.

You make YouTube a better place for sure!

[Stoneforth]

I love how you edited out all the swearing every time it died and replaced it with ambient background noise. Very clever!

[thomasbroker]

If there ever was a moment I would have given up it was right there halfway up that hill! I wonder how you remain so calm Marty, I’d have been ffin & blindin every time it stopped, replacing a clutch pipe was incredible! You’re a true inspiration mate.

I am so glad that people neglect the basic maintenance of their equipment, you come a long and we get top drawer content.

[scarhead]

Marty. Further proof that you are absolutely barking mad. Please never change, your problem solving skills are legendary!

The Pakistani truck mechanics would be proud.... More seriously that's a hell of a job to do on the side of a mountain, a testament to your perseverance.

I cheered when I saw the truck drive through the house gate. 🎉 I'm grateful for all the extra camera moves and setups. 🎥

Thanks for a lesson in patience, determination, and perseverance. I shall patiently wait for more.

I suspect your "a bit disconcerting coming up the track" was a major understatement lol.

You're a good mechanic and great father! Kids need to see the good and bad of life. Allows them to grow up with that commodity we call experience. Their smiles, sitting behind the wheel..great!!

Love your videos, man been around for a long while and don’t plan on going anywhere. Always look forward to seeing you upload.

Marty, mate, I swear you have the patience of a Saint!
The kids are adorable.
I'm sure they'll be able to drive the truck and all the other equipment before they even have their driver's licence.

You sir are a different breed of human and are always so impressive

[PeterJamesDenning]

It's Marty's ingenuity, problem solving and patience that impresses me. I'd have been throwing spanners and using some choice language.

Great work. Love it when the kids (and dog) get involved. The look on their faces when they revved the beast.

[gibbogle]

Lovely kids. The dog seems interested in what's happening, too.
