Massive Case Excavator Gets New Thumb But It Cost Us! Rookie Operator

We're tackling a new project today on a Massive Case Excavator that's being sold to our friend, ‪@JamesonsTravels‬ We're installing a massive hydraulic thumb from Felco on a Case 350D excavator. This isn't your average bolt-on job—we'll show you the entire process, from setting up the pins and shims to custom welding and testing the hydraulics. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how we get these attachments to fit perfectly. Plus, we had a professional YouTuber stop by to try out the new thumb, and he ended up doing some "damage control" on a different machine.
