What happens here

After confirming engine and dump bed functionality, address the safety features and driving readiness. Cousin G discusses the air brakes, assuring they are functional. A test drive through the property is conducted to observe the truck's handling. The narrator mentions that to turn off the engine, the fuel wire connected earlier must be disconnected, and the process to turn off the fuel cut-off solenoid is demonstrated.

Goal: Assess driving readiness and basic handling.

of see it drive a little bit okay Gus now you can switch cut switch back off when it still got power to the solenoids with it want to cut off fuel you got to go back around pull it off and stick it right up there and you're good you say it'll run and drive you've been running even hauling loads around the farm with it I run Halton jump to the other day and I ran in just a little bit yes it was running fine when I parked it probably 10 15 years ago guys are cool man well let's give her a little test drive I guess right here so I'm gonna let you get it out of here brakes tell me tell me about the brakes they're a little softer way oh they good I mean we might have to merge the other day I had two emergency brakes on and it was just setting and I wanted to move it so I had to load her so I picked it back in up and then when I set it back down what you didn't make no sense because if y'all know anything about air brakes they should be the spring type they actually once you engage them they should be always locked so when I set the dump truck man it started rolling so I jumped out of the loader and it was going still going and I said well I had a choice to run back to the loader and run to the truck I said what a look loader could keep on running it wouldn't make a difference to the dump truck and put the brakes back on man fingers crossed here guys we got air pressure [Music] in there
