Simply amazing overhaul. Your setting the standards there. I've overhauled 6059D and 6068T engine recently and they proven to be a good work out on each rebuild. I needed the extra breakfast top up to keep the energy fueled. All the best with the next green tractor that rolls in.
that engine looks like new, how many hours were on it? i have a 6076 deere in my boat with 22,000 hours on it. it fires right up and the oil stays clean up to 150 hours before it starts turning a little dark. do you know much about the 6076? if you do i have some questions for you? nice video by the way!!!
I am not ridiculing anyone here and maybe I missed the main bearing. thrust washer installation as well as the front and rear crankshaft seals. Was the head machined and a new engine oil pump installed. I am just asking no criticism.
Don't get mad, but I don't understand .... I think it was a clearly unmanaged landing maneuver. There was plenty of space everywhere and landing on a tree was unnecessary and risky .... It turned out well, but it could have been a serious accident.
I land long allllll the time. "Ran out of fuel"? Nooooo - you had "Fuel system issues." 🙂 Any landing you walk away from ... Great video; lessons learned, no injury or broken stuff, and you met some new golfer friends. (Did you ask if they minded if you launch from the fairway sometimes? :-) )
Jo that was great no damage, you can do butterfly, pull boths brake no complete deep and let go do again that slow the wing and increase angle of attack and do a short landing cutting down the glide. But all good thanks for share. SIV next hahahaaaa
As a guy who’s tinkered with car engines a bit, just wanted to ask about the tool that seems to extract each piston. How is it pulling the piston out? I’m only familiar with the “turn block upside down , tap on rods to push out piston” style.
The tractor looks like brand new ... i cant believe it needed pistons and sleeves! Although I guess if old mate that owns it keeps it spotlessly clean, and garaged ... then it could have a shit tonne of hours on it and still look immaculate!
Hey man, can i use this video in my next bikers are nice episode? I'll give you full credits in the description and i'll put your channel name in compilation
Hello man, how are you? I would like to know if you allow me to use your video in my compilations "humble biker", I will leave the credits to you. Thank you!
Awesome flight and a great song to go with it! Just saw your broken prop video and then started to check out your channel. Sorry about the prop, and the wing, and the flotation, and the net...
Beautiful video. Looks such a good idea to send the cylinders and the pistons "fixed". This way not need to suffering with good pistonring angles. And the wrestling with "rings in to the cylinder" without one of them breake "performance" cancelled by the factory. Very very goog idea. I fix russian tractors. They are simple, but sometimes they make serious headache :) Thanks.
You sound soooö disappointed. I thought this would be a very short video where someone biffs it hard and swears off the sport for good amid painful grunts from broken bones. This can always be fixed. It looks like that orange thing caught in the prop and broke it not a bendy hoop.
Not only did it go through, but it went through flat/sideways. Was a real eye opener to not be standing too close on the sidelines when someone is taking off
Better for the prop to hit the wing and not you. Try free flying for a life changing experience. You will never get the same buzz as climbing in a thermals. I promice you.
For those playing at home. Looks like a power float (attached to the right side of the frame) came loose and went through the prop. Another reason to have a preflight checklist. Thanks for sharing. Saving grace here is that the pilot was still on the ground. Having a motor out and a hole I your wing probably wouldn’t make for fun times. Best of luck mate.
