While I'm so sorry that Barney didn't get fixed, the smiles & laughter that you two brought me were wonderful. When the video ended, I was sad it was so short. Imagine my surprise that it was a 40 min video. The time just flew by. Thanks for this. It was as enjoyable as I figured it would be. You guys rock.
Lol speaking of getting the cart before the horse when editing. I love watching let’s dig and dirt perfect. Can’t be any better than both in one video.
It is nice when you have a friend that is willing to travel a good distance to help you . This video just proves Mike is that kind of friend and a really good person just like you Chris.
@@FishFind3000 So DP drove 10 hours and took off 3 days of work just for subscribers, interesting!! I think it’s called ‘Merica where friends help friends and expect nothing in return.
It's both amazing and gratifying to realize Mike drove hundreds of miles and took days off work to help a friend in need! I'm sorry it didn't work out but you both tried so very hard to make it happen.
I used to use a porta power ram between frame and rim to push the wheels off. That way I didn’t have to worry about things falling off the blocks. I guess you can always loosen the lugs and drive around in circles to break the rims loose. 😂
Hot tip: For greasy oily gloves find some fine dry dust and make like you're washing your hands in it, gloves on of course, the fine dust particles stick to and removes the grease, your gloves won't be clean but they won't be greasy either.
Nice to see the two of you working together. Too bad about the seals or hub issue. But you will get it taken care of and feel good about the results. 👍👍
Good head mounted lights work very well. I love them for mountain biking and working on things. Kinda easier than setting up and tearing down a light tower too.
Mike: "I gotta this concrete floor in my heated shop". Chris: "I got...plywood". Love it! You guys make a great team. Hope Barney is back up and running soon.
Now, there is a pair to draw to, what one can’t think of the other one will. Great to see you two working together, makes for a great video. Parts, more parts, then you get wrong parts, life in the fast lane. Thanks for the ride along sir.
It all seemed so much easier with an overhead crane…lol! When you upgrade the pole barn…make sure you add the crane to the new LD18 shop. Thanks for sharing Chris!
His air compressor is a cute hobby shop toy. To run that 1" impact you need about 10 times the CFM that one will produce and run a 3/4" air line to it.
25 years ago, we were rebuilding a 1200 cfm screw type air end using all factory stock bearings. Got it all shimmed up properly and after tightening the last bolt, the thing was seized. Had it apart 3 more times using different factory bearings with the same results. Finally discovered that even though the Timken thrust bearing had the correct part number, there was a suffix number that indicated the end play tolerance. We had never seen it before nor had the factory. When we got bearings with the correct end play all worked well. Sometimes things don't go as planned, however, we keep getting smarter. Mike, put your ear protection on when you are using the impact wrench. At 80 years old, I now wear cochlear implants because I did not heed my warning. Great video, thanks.
So awesome to see Chris and Mike working together again. Sadly China made parts threw a bent monkey wrench boxed and shiped by Murphy delivered by a gaggle of Gremlins into the mix so now Mike will have to come back to get his jackstands back. That's the consolation prize for us subs. We hope.
Massive tires on Barney, be safe when working on this. Complicated repair but so worth it; such a time saver on projects. Loved video. God's blessings and stay safe!
Hey guys just wanted to let you know that this is a perfect example of neighbor helping neighbor and friend helping friend it is a true thing in a real thing it doesn’t always go the way we want but in the end we know it’s going to get done and done right awesome to see you to working together great job guys
You should get one of those to put on your truck. That has.,or get A fold up handle for safe storing.& Storage to compact inside of your trailer. That comes with those weed eater type of twist locking plastic turning knobs.&bolts for using.& Fast breakdown procedures when your done using your portable pressure washer that's gasoline powered setup.
Goodness what a job to take on. DP does a good job taking things apart! Seems like you're going to need different seals and spacers? Alot of work though. Thanks for sharing 👍
It's always great to see DP in NC. I love to watch both of your guys channels. I hate it didn't go as planned, but that's life. Most of my projects go the same way. Lol!! Can't wait to see it finished.
Kt3406E said his was 70 tons i think. Definetly bigger for sure. I was about to comment but noticed yours. Talk about night and day difference between the two machines. I forgot Chris had a volvo.
Ditch the ratchet strap and get a hefty (1/2") ratchet ROPE! Those things are way faster and easier to use than the finicky straps. They have been awesome to use!
That is disappointing. Good to have friends like Dirt Perfect - great mate really. Safety - what's that - reminds me of farm life - use what you have. Always entertaining when the two of you are together.
Well Mike, looks like you have the beginnings of a mobile service rig 👍👍 I hate it when a repair that seemed to be on the road to a successful conclusion and then a simple part that doesn't fit shuts you down 😡🤬 Chris, you are lucky to have the friends you have 👍👍. I hope you bought Mike a really good dinner 😉
Dump Truck Maintenance - well - it takes a little bid of Effort to take the Tire off - she is a Beast and Heavy ! Rebuilding the Drum with new Parts - looks like the "China" Seal did not fit - waiting on the Correct Part (Original Parts are always the Best) - ah - well - that's how the Cookie sometimes crumbles ! Looks like Part 2 of the Continuing Maintenance will come very soon ! Great Guys and Great Video ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Somehow I ended up on this video of yours and my 2 year old daughter decided that this is what we were going to watch. I don’t do the field service routine anymore, but on jobs that exposed internals I’d just arrange to have a hot water pressure wash service clean the areas of interest the night before.
Great design Volvo. Good job making sure the seal that is almost certainly going to fail in the environment they live in will also take out the brakes as well.
Hard call to make but the right choice... Better than having to go through it all again once your brake-lubing begins anew... The parts supply chain today sucks, I know, be it for trucks, heavy equipment or much of anything else.
Great video Chris, you can definitely see DP is in his element, loves those dirty hands!! Barney will make it out of surgery just fine, you have a great team to put all the pieces back together. 💪👍🇺🇸
