I had a dog like that. Hated everything with an engine and wheels. Chewed the rubber of multiple lawnmower tires and even dragged a mower across the yard and down into the creek one time 😮
Thank you Jeff. Your continued perserverance and patience are lessons to us all. I love the way you never let something beat you, you come back the next day with an inventive idea and beat the iron into place. Jeff wins for sure ;-)
I’m enjoying this series too Jeff, I can see why you took a while to get around to doing it. It is a big job but the old girl will be nice to use when it is done.
The satisfaction of rebuilding these machines will be great every minute of operation will be with pride start to finish even for a flatlander like Jpaydirt , stay safe sir dirt
Saw the short showing the cylinder popping out. Goes to show never leave a hillbilly with a shop full of tools and other devices. We will either get the job done or tear up a bunch of stuff trying to figure it out and refix it. 😂😂.
You, sir, are the picture of persistence...... eventually, you get stuff apart. That 9 is gonna be nice when you get it done. Guys who can still work on that older equipment are a dying breed. Watching your videos takes me way back and reminds me how much work that was compared to the high sprocket dozens of today. It's hard to believe assholes refer to your machines as junk. those scrapers are about as sweet as they come, especially for C models. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for another great video Jeff. I (as a mechanic) am lucky enough to have a friend/ mentor kind of like you, who owns a company that is similar to your in some aspects. His mentality is the same as yours, the best equipment is the stuff that’s paid for, and reliable. An “old man” as some people may call you guys (please don’t take offense, I don’t think you’re old, LoL) with knowledge like yours is irreplaceable, while the young guys are using tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of precision gps and grading equipment on hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of shiny new equipment, someone with with knowledge and experience like you can achieve the same grade, and you don’t have to worry about if you have a full battery or a good connection, LoL! I really enjoy your videos, knowledge, and insights. By the way, LE on bolts stands for the manufacturer Lake Erie, and if I’m not mistaken all of there fasteners are made here in the USA. Have a great day and thank you for another great video!
ROTFL! He is a game little fellow. I loved the zoomies doing laps of the pressure washer while you were starting it, and then biting it showing it who is boss.
Great video Jeff glad to see you're getting the U-blade all back together. Once you get your track frame back you'll be close to having undercarriage back together with the new tracks. Thanks for sharing stay safe Jeff.
Your a hard working mother trucker Jeff, awesome work an awesome video series, lovin the work an commentary, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🤙👍🇺🇲✊ #T2024
Good job mate love watching your videos that ram was pretty stubborn but you got it you do what you gotta do looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Jeff continues to win! Glad you got the cylinder apart without injury, air can be hairy. Hydraulic pressure is better if you've got a pump - easy to get way over 200psi Makes a mess I suppose and given the size of tthese rams wastes a lot of oil. I've just written down the reasons why you don't do it 😊😊
It's a darn shame about the electrical issues that You and Matt are facing on the excavator. This newer equipment is great... until it isn't. The line-boring work that You've had done on the D9 is fascinating. Good luck getting Killdozer back on track. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction, their Families and Friends.
Fiesty little Gorky, he was gonna eat the ass end of that hot pressure washer. Good boy Griffey. Fantastic seperation makes the mission successful as Jeff wins again.
Jeff, can you do a mini featurette on your Case 446 lawn/garden tractor please...? It looks in amazing condition. does it still have the original Onan engine still in it...? My first ever job was working for a chap who had a fleet (well, three actually...!) of the 646/648 backhoe loader variants...superb machines 👌
Jeff to remove a piston easily fit a hydraulic fitting and then connect it to a pressure supply like a tractor or porta power and use hydraulic oil to drive it out the worse that can happen is you make a mess
About 4:30 I mused... bet he puts some air on it ... boy I hope he stands back ... :-) :-) You can compress air, but you cannot compress fluid. At 9:17 we have the NASA solution ... :-) :-) At 11:40 I started to cry ... 13:00 you used the universal "F" word then within seconds the solution. :-) :-) "Hit this and run ... " works every time.
I would think that a slight bit of cylinder rust pitting (not too deep) isn't as bad as a scared rod because all that will happen is slight internal bypass (only in the effected area) which isn't going to be leaking out externally? May be a loss of hydraulic power but with such little pitting, my guess is that it wouldn't really be noticeable during normal operation? The only thing to worry about is if the bypass gets to the point where it will erode your wear sleeves and whatnot.

My experience with heavy equipment was mining. I know that we ran my equipment differently than you use yours. The 9s were used primarily in the cut pushing shot rock. We steered with tilt only, no clutch when pushing. Since the tilt was constantly being used, leakage around the tilt cylinder piston seals wouldn't be noticed. If the polish rod and seals were good, there wouldn't be any oil lost either. The reason I mention this is that the small amount of rust damage on the cylinder bore that did not hone out would not have mattered to us. I understand that it may be different for you though.
Those calipers you got are very sensitive to temperature change, make sure they're acclimated and don't hold them in your hands too long. Same with what you are measuring
Le bolts are made in USA by Fontana Fasteners for Cat, John Deer and others. You can go .015" over with standard seals, the tapererd oversize head seal is almost useless your beter of machening the head to fit the o'ring face seal when .015" oversize or more specs and part numbers are in the Cat hydraulic cylinder seals guide.
You should have used the pressure washer to push it out . We use the pressure washer to pressure test well heads after we finish drilling and setting the plug down hole until the service rig can finish the well .you can pressure it up slowly and up to the pressure washers max if needed.
@@Jpaydirt yes that is one obstacle and when trying to get that task done the air should have done the job especially with that large diameter piston. Love seeing you tackle these jobs . It’s very good to see you winning 🤔 as when working by your self takes more time than we all realize.
Are the laws for width such in your stake to allow you to move with the blade on? Know back in the 80 when I moved 9G and 9H with U blades we had to take them off due to width.
Why not just jack it apart with hydraulic pressure? fill it with used oil and then put the pressure to it with a hydraulic pressure source like your jack/porta power unit.
@@Jpaydirt We used to strain the chunks out and then cook the water out of contaminated oil and then filter it for reuse at the hydraulic shop I worked at, cheaper to recycle and reuse than dispose of it and buy new. Used it to test all rebuilt components before shipping.
That can certainly happen. I know of a header (combine to some) belonging to a mate that got struck by lightening. It fried everything, they couldn’t even start it. Of course it struck the newest of his fleet and they were parked together. Cost a bomb and they won’t know if it is any good till harvest later this year.
