When I worked at an equipment rental business, after every rental, sometimes as little as 2 hours of actual use, we used air to blow out the primary air filter, checked and topped fluids, and greased every grease point. Then hosed down the whole machine. At the price of those machines, you don't whine about the time it takes or the grease you use.

My Dad did heavy equipment mechanic work for 32 years. One thing he always did was keep track in a book when he did what to each piece of equipment. He also wrote the date and hours on the oil filters and air filters so you could tell at a glance how long it had been. The equipment he had was: several cat dozens, 2 scapers, pull scraper, air comp/welder, jd farm tractors, bay city crane and diamond t tractor and lowboy. This equipment ranged from 13 yrs old to 50 yrs, it all worked because of doing the maintenance. Just because equipment is old doesnt mean its not worth the time to do the maintenance. His construction company was in business from 1946 to 1978.

Good point on the oil filter dent precaution...

Once or twice, in 20 years of ownership, I've dented the filter... and as much of a hassle as it is, my instinct to immediately replace with another was founded.

Greg from northern Michigan. Centrifugal (cyclonic) air cleaner dust unloader valve, not a moisture drain. Primary air filter element (larger one). Secondary air filter (smaller one) is also called a safety element.

@desotosky1372 Месяц назад

Is that what whistles when the filter gets loaded?

@gregforster5913 Месяц назад

No, it's simply a split rubber squeeze valve that let's the dust spill out of the air cleaner housing without having to remove the end cap. The whistle is usually from the engine turbocharger being starved for air flow, or from some other air leak in the engine air intake system piping. A clean air filter provides minimum pressure drop across it. When this pressure drop reaches 2 kPa (or 8 inches of water), it's time to either clean or replace the air filter elements

@marioreali5925 Месяц назад

Yep, a lot of people think the secondary air filter is to make the air cleaner. It's not. They discovered years ago that the biggest source of dirt entering the engine on heavy equipment was changing the airfilter. Cat used to recommend changing the secondary every third primary filter change.

@gregforster5913 Месяц назад

You are right on here. I can tell you many horror stories about industrial air cleaner lack of maintenance issues. The craziest one was where the large equipment operator poked holes into the outer air filter element with a larger screwdriver to allow air in because the engine lost power. It worked for about a month, at which time the engine power cylinders wore out due to extreme dusting. Airborne dust particles are extremely hard and abrasive. In the engine test lab, we used to use AC Fine Test Dust of known particle sizes to evaluate the engine power cylinders and engine crankshaft bearings for wear rates. I am now retired but used to work for a major diesel engine manufacturer, and have 39 years of engineering experience here.

@@hedydd2Totally disagree. I worked at an equipment rental supply and we sent the oil out to the lab on every oil change we did. We did that for every piece of equipment, including lower priced items like lawn mowers. We did the 50 hr on a brand new Bobcat skid steer and it showed an unusual amount of copper. It remained in service and at the 200 hr PM the copper readings were again elevated. 20 hrs later the motor seized. Even though the unit was out of its warranty period Bobcat picked up the unit replaced the engine and returned it back to us in a week. It was because we had the lab tests showing that it had a bearing issue from the start. Without that we would have been out of pocket for a replacement engine and labor to R&R.

@bootinnj Месяц назад

a tip to regular maint and making those full services a little easier. once a week use the air hose to blow out the dust from your outer air filter (from the inside out), unbolt and lift the rad to get clearance if you need to,to check fluids(oil, water, hyraulic and planetary) and grease, check track adjustment (sometimes can be done with a grease gun). if not using that much but daily if its in daily use for most of those tho. and remember hydraulic fluid expands when hot so keep that in mind when checking the sightglass and make sure the rams are all flat closed. Im sure your probably familiar from lift hydraulics. also always keep a flathead screwdriver or pick with you to remove dirt from grease pins, also dont grease the sliding area bit on the forks it will just attract more dirt, and a rag for easy small mess cleanup but there is no way you werent getting an oil bath with that small of an access. 30:30 There's a TV behind there and your just spraying it down willy nilly!

When I got mine I dug two 5 gallon buckets of cow poop out from under the seat and around the motor.

I think you should watch more videos on cleaning and service.

A good thing to do is to use a white paint marker to date and write meter hours on the filters when changing.

All my fleet skids were Bobcats. They came from the factory with a hydraulic leak and misadjusted steering.

I use the same Oil Testing company BlackStone Lab !! Got every used oil tested in my last three prius since 2009 ... so far so good but of course never driven 10k as Toyota says .... I think my car started to "use" oil but I haven't really checked the level after oil change it is down to min .. now after about 3k maybe just get it changed again ...

My kids are 20 and 17 years old and we still buy baby wipes and use them round the house and in the car. They are so handy to have around

The old car brake test in the yard reminded me of a really old US series called Cannon, a 'rotund' private investigator. Im old lol

23:05 ACEA is the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, though the French translation is where the initialism comes from (Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles). They classify oils into three main categories: A/B for gasoline and light duty diesel engines; C for engines with three-way catalytic converters or DPFs; and E for heavy-duty diesel engines. ACEA E-class oils are similar to API C-class oils like CK-4. E9 is an obsolete standard and has been replaced by E11, so use an E11 oil wherever an E9 oil was previously called for. For example, Valvoline Premium Blue synthetic blend and full synthetic diesel oils are compatible with both API CK-4 and ACEA E11.

You can get the air filters cleaned for less than the cost of new ones. You might check into that.

If you do this type of service on a regular basis then the air filter cleaner by Pete Industries is a must have investment. It uses shop air with a rotating head that fits inside of a round air filter and can restore it to 99% of OG flow and filtration. It's one of those things that you go, "why didn't I think of that". I doubt it would be practical for a single use application.

I put 15w40 in riding mower, push mower, and my gas powered air compressor. They run just as good they did when i 1st got them

Ray, on some older models, you can jack up the cab assembly and service it much easier.

I just recently saw a video of someone tightening an oil filter with a drill. That guy is the most hated person now

@26:14 if you cut the bottom off that bottle you can use the top half as a funnel and screw it onto the skidsteer oil fill hole. thats if they are the same as the EURO type bottles.

The main differentiating feature of compact track loaders is their tracks and ability to lift more than skid steers. Still around the same size as skid steers, they're built for outdoor projects with more space because they're not as maneuverable as skid steers as they don't have zero-radius turning capabilities.

Keep your belly pans clean. Raise the cab. Make sure there is no Florida vegetation debris hiding. These are known for catching fire if operated in pine tree and palmetto areas.

I enjoy seeing equipment repairs and maintenance videos. So yeah, if you can get your hands on more equipment, do it.

@nicholassammauro4941 Месяц назад

Run BG EPR pre oil Svc next time Ray and then BG DOC with new oil for maximum efficiency…I have the volume sizes on the BG SLED for this equipment ready to go.
