Two free tips on the DEUTZ engine. Hot pressure wash completely the interior of the engine, cylinder liner fins, oil cooler and cooling fan. This is a MUST to keep the operating temperature of the engine under control and not to size a piston. All should be completely clean 100% without any grease, dust or paint.. Second tip: when you operate a DEUTZ engine you should keep the engine speed ALWAYS above 80% of full throttle rpm. If you operate it to slower peeds, the engine cooling fan will not provide enough air to cool it and you will overheat the engine and seize a piston. Bonus: always keep all air cooling compartment covers and seals correctly positioned for not to escape any cooling air and all the air goes through the liners and cylinder head fins. Enjoy your Liebherr.

@@WaldosWorld I would go ahead and change the fan belt just for cheap preventive maintenance. The inner air filter is a super fine element and if it starts clogging it will act low on power like a clogged fuel filter. We always use a paint pen on the filters to write the date and hours when changed. Keep up the cool videos !!!

There is a “no spill” adapter that threads onto those fittings, that has a hose on it, so you can eliminate the mess, as you thread it on, it opens the valve up, they are crucial with nasty diesel oil. Not gonna lie, watching you take an oil bath had me laughing! Great video!

As mentioned about keeping the engine clean, there is an access cover on the side of the engine to clean the cylinder liners . Secondly Always keep a spare fan belt as they take a lot of abuse . Also, ALWAYS ALLOW THE TURBO TO COOL DOWN AFTER A HEAVY USE ! you should idle the engine at least 5 mins .Always change the inner air filter with the outer .

I am an old Diesel guy, heavy duty lubricants guy. Story: In 1990's on Long Island, an air cooled Diesel same as yours in a rock crusher was turning motor oil to tar. They first blamed our motor oil (of course) we went out to have a look. We found that the plasic blade cooling fan had passed so much grit-filled air that it widdled down to nothing it no longer passed much air and the engine was toasting it's oil. (Before hydro cracked base stocks I guess) So, have a look at your cooling fan and make sure it is good as new. Maybe depends upon the region. The ducting/sheet metal shroud is also very important to force air to coolers. Don't let anyone run the motor without it. Seal any gaps to force all the air through the coolers. Also, feel the exhaust manifold near each cylinder during a cold start to see if all reach temperature similarly and you can tell allot by that. New hydraulic fluids are better and so are greases. A good moly or graphite grease matters, high tack helps too. Seal conditioners in some hydraulic fluids can help restore valve seals and piston seals. Tranny fluid works pretty darn good too. Some folks even use motor oil in the entire machine. Manufacturer has recomendations but those are long outdated. Synthetics are a great way to go whenever possible especially in a machine that sits. Keep a 55 gallon drum of hydraulic handy. Also order hoses ahead of time, maybe learn to make your own. Check any rubbing points. Make sure you reinstall clips and isolators and and ad if you have to do any wiring. Anything touching the motor or frame can be short lived. Diesels will vibrate through wire insulation, hoses and fuel lines quick. Thats why so many clips on those fuel lines, there for a reason!

When you change out the teeth. You aught to consider hard facing the side of the bucket. This will help give longevity to the bucket, and it’ll give you another skill in welding. Plus with all the rocks you’re going to have to move it’ll certainly keep the bucket more usable longer. There is actual hard facing welding filler, but I’ve also seen folks just use a standard 70 series rod/wire. Hope this helps! Love the video

Hey so I’m a apprentice in the heavy duty mechanics field in Canada and whilst I mainly work on semi-trucks one thing we learned in class whilst learning about tracks and undercarriage for equipment such as yours is that it’s a common misconception to dig on the side as you were. The machine is actually meant to dig from right on top of the front idlers. Whilst you can’t do that in every situation and I’m not bashing any operators who do dig that way it’s been proven to accelerate wear on the undercarriage components such as the bottom rollers and sprocket. Just good for thought. Cheers

A bit of advice, when excavating something as large as a bolder have your track facing it straight, and not sideways with it, you can tip over an excavator that way, it jumps a lot and, also, the idlers to the back to keep the weight behind the machine. PS: Just noticed that the excavator is also leaning towards the bolder as well on a slope which makes it even more prone to tip over or bounce a lot Happy excavations to you, these are fun to run...

Two Tips: 1) get an electric grease gun if you don't have one already. I know Milwaukee has two different ones. I assume most other companies like DeWalt and Riobi probably have them too. 2) You should look into selling the rocks. Where you live everyone has them in their yards, but in other places that is not the case. I live in South Jersey and it's flat and rockless, so if we want rocks of any size we have to buy them. Just something to think about.

Yay Deutz! My late father was the second Deutz dealer in the US! They can use 10-15 seconds of glow plug pre-heat and will start instantly regardless of temperature. Use a pressure washer (or steam washer) to blast off that buildup. The 913 deutz engine line is ultra reliable and can give you 40,000 hours of use if you keep it clean (cool) and feed it clean diesel fuel (good filters). I had one irrigation pump that I overhauled at age 18, and many years later, the owner brought it back with over 50,000 hours more runtime... The big air pre-filter can be cleaned by tapping it on the sides on a flat surface. Rotate it around, gently tapping the filter on the surface.

I use to be from NH built in MASS, Excavating contractors use to give estimates off of the site plan for septic, material needed, stumping, cella hole and back fill, utility lines, driveway, basement prep et-cetera. The only additional would be the unknown boulders over a certain size and if ledge needed to be blasted out. Then someone somewhere somehow started the idea of " Hourly rate per machine plus trucking." Tried another contractor and realized it was the "New norm". I once showed up on a job to meet the operator, 7 am as we drank our coffee (pre-cell phone days) we went over what needed to be done. I left after about 1/2 hr (hr meter running while machine warmed up) and an hr and a half later forgot to mention something so I drove back he was still in the same place talking with another contractor that was working next door still drinking coffee. That was it for me besides. They also charged per yard for material and for kicks I calculated a dropped load and low and behold short of what I ordered. You never got what they charged. I once mentioned, pissed off to one site contractor that I was going to buy my own machines. His reply HA I would not. Do you know how much the parts cost? So I did what you did I found an old Hitachi ex-120 Had no clue how to operate it and figured I made a mistake but I stayed with it and in 40 hrs I was efficient and confident enough to have at it. Your machine can pay for itself in a week. Great job great vid.

I had an ex-120. Great machine. Same as the John Deere except the engine was different. FWIW the system that everyone explained to me for dropped loads is number of bucket size scoops into the truck. Bank c. yards, truck c. yards and dumped c. yards don't match each other because of variations in compaction. So if you go to the landscaping yard with a 3 yard dump and buy 3yds of topsoil it won't measure 3yds in the bed, but they will give you 3 1yd bucket scoops.

Waldo, please install some plexiglass or wire meshing between you and the material you're handling. That thing has a lot of power and if some of the stone breaks off, the chips could hurt you. At least use some glasses. A friend of mine has lost an eye using digging equipment. A small metalic chip broke of somewhere and screwed up his left eye for good while working with the windshield open and no eye protection. Don't take it the wrong way, just a heads up, can happen to the best! Good buy, have fun with it and be safe

Theses are all over the place in Québec. Since the frost line is 4-5 foot deep, we need to move a lot of dirt when building of updating water and sewer pipes. There's also the fact that the Canadian Shield and the Appalaches cover most of Québec. In my area, there's rock outcroppings all over the place. If you dig 5-6 feet deep, you are almost guarantied to find rock. Most construction compagnies have a hydraulic hammer lying around on most jobs and having a big machine to run it helps a lot.

Nice work, good machine. You’re gonna want to make sure the top of the bolder is at least four feet below the surface below the frost line. We have a saying in CT, rocks grow best. The water gets below them and freezes, then pushes them back to the surface. I cut over 100 trees in my yard, about 36 of them were between 100-125 feet tall. Stumped it all out to make a field, and all the boulders I left in the soft soil I disturbed have poked up to the top. Also learn Fromm your mistake and try to keep your top soil and fill in separate piles when you dig the holes so when you fill them back in the top soil remains for grass to grow

If you get a pump up pressure sprayer and put diesel in it and spray the entire tractor off with diesel, it will remove the grease instead of spreading it. If you repeat the process twice, you’ll be pretty clean. Hope this helps.

Ahhh you beat me to it! I was cringing watching it operate at low throttle. He meant well but it's certainly not helping the machine or his operating skills, as they are designed to operate under power and higher rpm. Good job pointing this out. Those engines need the RPM's in order to run cooler, even though it seems backwards. They will eventually get hot if your lugging them down,especially on a machine like this where you can see that its taking a bunch of power just using one boom function at a time. Once they turn the power on, it should be easier for him to lurn how to operate it correctly. I remember trying to learn how to run log loader at quarter throttle, until the owner came over and pushed the lever into bunny and told me to leave it there whenever I had my hands on the joysticks haha. And that was WITH a radiator. He would have popped my head off if he would have seen me idling an air cooled.

Those Deutz air cooled units are great engines, easy to work on, But replacement parts are vary expensive so take good care of it. I worked for Atlas Copco Wagner Mining Equipment Co as a diesel mechanic for 18 years and we put a lot of Deutz engines in our machines. Those batteries you used should more then ample in that machine, no need to upgrade to the larger battery if everything works fine. Also the next time you change your oil you can install a remote oil drain on the engine, simple to do, we did it all the time on our machines for that simple fact. Also you can steam clean or low pressure power wash the inside of the engine to keep clean the oil coolers that’s important. The oil is the life blood of the machine. While I’m talking about oil have you heard of IXL Oil Conditioner products???, I’ve been using this brand for over 30 years in my personal gasoline car engines, axles, transmissions. You’ll have to go online to the IXL store or maybe a diesel truck shop. They have a great line of products. You might want to install a oil temperature gauge and maybe a pyrometer gauge in the future. Also if and when servicing the hydraulic filter and system when refilling and I’m not sure of the hydraulic system design but pre-fill the hydraulic filter so you don’t run the hydraulic pumps in a dry state on restart after service. Then when the machine is not in use have the boom n bucket in a down position that all the hydraulic cylinder rams are retracted into the hydraulic cylinders to protect them from external damage, you don’t want to have to replace one, Probably over 1,000.00 dollars. The big thing to remember is if you break something on that machine you could be easily over the original price you paid for the machine, just don’t do anything stupid. Happy digging👍👍

I worked at this type of equipment for my fathers farm and wold make one comment when dealing with older stuff like this. We bought a steam/ hot water power washer and it changed my life. The accumulated oily grime that infests every inch of machines like this can be cleaned off with relative ease making working at them a much more pleasant experience, it also reduces the risk of grit and grime getting into important parts during maintenance and helps stop you getting a thick coating of greasy grit on arms and face. Nice machine looks like it will respond well to a little care. One other point check all the major hoses and replace any sketchy ones before they let go on site, it can save aeges of wasted site time.

Give it a litle while to cool down at idle speed when youre done. Its nice to see someone admitting they dont know how to something. You learn by making mistakes too.

Definitely check out your hydraulic system, check level and strainer/filters Tighten the tracks, not overly tight but those are pretty loose. And the exhaust dumping in the engine compartment will cover everything in soot, any work you do and you’ll look like you just clocked out of a coal mine. You seem competent enough to just make repairs there so that will save you on parts. At the end of the day it’s just a machine if you keep up maintenance on one they tend to keep lasting, try not and side load your boom where you can help it, excavators are the most powerful in a dig to you motion around a 90° boom angle but as an operator myself you’re not bad at it, Smooth is fast, even it it doesn’t seem like it. Reduces wear and operator fatigue over bouncing around. Just remember the farther you are out the less control and power you have. Grease it regularly and keep the fuel tank full to lessen tank rust and moisture buildup in the fuel and the experience will come with hours put in. It’s always fun to see what Waldo is working on. ✌️

Tip: you crushed the filter while tightening it with those pliers. In fact oil pressure is not as high as you may think(cat c15 manual says dependent on rpm between 40-80 psi). This means if you have properly cleaned and lubed the surface of the filter and the filter housing, hand tight is usually enough (depending on grip strength). If not a filter socket or the metal band style filter wrench are best. Pliers are for taking off not putting on.

the tool you used to remove the old oil filter is only for removal.

All Liebherr machines have this type of "valved plug" on all their oil drain locations. You need a special Liebherr tool fitting that comes with a piece of hose, and when you tread it to the drin valve it opens the poppet inside and allows to drain the oil through the hose. Is a must tool if you own any Liebherr equipment. Ask your local Liebherr dealer for it, the oil drain adapter and hose.

Hello Waldo, I've scanned a few comments below and I'm just going to dump on a few more. 1) that's a hydraulic machine and needs more throttle. 2) bury the rocks deeper or you'll be seeing them again. 3) suggest buying a few hours of an experienced operator's time to give you some training. That thing is large enough to hurt you and break things. 4) keep an eye out at auction for another bucket. Might be cheaper than any repairs. 5) another reason it was cheap is it has no "thumb". 7) buy a big pressure washer. Spend a day washing that thing down. The next day, do it again. My experience is that the third time you will still find major dirt. A clean machine will much more pleasant to work on when you have to change hydraulic hoses. I have a BE 13 hp., 3500 psi, 4 1/2 gallon that works great on big iron. A clean machine also makes it easier to spot cracks, loose bolts, and other broken stuff. 8) put money aside. Hydraulic hoses aren't cheap.

Been away from the excavating for many years, but after 30 yrs owning I suggest 1) grease every fitting regularly and replace/repair any that don't accept grease (sometimes just raising to remove weight from pin hydraulically will allow fitting to accept grease 🤞, other times untreated impacted grease/dirt requires pin removal) one reason it's inexpensive, but you did a good buy it seems. Many experienced responders on here. 2) I don't think new teeth are a priority (won't help) for your application as long as they aren't worn through to the shank inside tooth. Your smaller backhoe loader will level up and grade for you once you get the touch.

Usually the grease fittings that won’t take aren’t the fittings but instead the grease port is blocked with metal/dirt/ or old grease that has hardened.

Since the cab doesn't have any glass on it, unless you've added it since this came out, it would probably be a good idea to wear eye protection along with your hearing protection just incase a shard of rock gets launched at the cab when you're digging.

@@Drewdayz2419 dang that was rude...joking lol. But if a tooth chips or breaks it could send shards into you, as well as rocks. Now what's the probability of that happening? Low. But a sheet of lexan is cheaper than a hospital bill.

​​@@Drewdayz2419 I bet the only time I have my window closed is when I'm using a breaker. Growing up on a pipe crew back in the 90s, if you had your window closed when working somebody was likely to throw a rock through it. Haha. I was taught old school for sure.

Oil filter installation tips, wipe the o-ring with fresh oil and install by hand, only use your hand to tighten the filter. Never use a wrench to tighten oil filters. You can bind the o-ring and ruin it causing leaks. Also if you get lucky and don't ruin the o-reig they will be over tight and much harder to get off the next time.

Hans is an excellent suggestion since Otto sounds a bit corny. I agree with the previous entry about Hans Liebherr founding his company in 1949. Since many people don't usually just go out and buy an Excavator, and you have a wonderful piece of property, preserving History, in your equipment story, may be helpful! Tip:. An equipment diaper is available to attach, with strong magnets, to the area under the access hatch - to your Oil and Water separation filter area. It will keep the filth contained in this spot below your engine - so that you don't get dumped upon, in the future, when doing maintanance. Excellent video!

1. How much per mile did it cost to transport to your property? 2. What was your “pre-anticipated” budget for maintenance and servicing it for the first time? 3. What was your total on replacement parts? 4. What preinspection have you done before bidding? 5. What happened to part 2?

If you live in an area with underground frost during winters and bury boulders back into the ground you should ensure that the entire boulder is well below the depth where the soil still freezes if you really never want to see it again. I even a tip of the boulder is in the soil region which freezes during winters the frost could proceed through the boulder and start a pumping action below the boulder, rising it by a very small amount every winter. It may take many many years but eventually a hump starts to appear on the lawn and then finally the boulder is revealed.

x2. As I was watching this as soon as he started to re-bury that boulder my mind said "rookie mistake". Contrary to popular belief rocks are a crop and they grow out of the soil every year.

Man, I thoroughly LOVED this video you made! You were humble enough to show your oil change goof and to admit you were an inexperienced operator. But you showed all the common sense steps from initial transport prep to actual transportation which was really interesting. Although I am curious how much these oversize and overweight permits ran you plus delivery costs per mile. I think one other problem you'll run into sooner than later will be finding industrial replacement parts for this 1986 LIebherr 926 excavator. I sure hope you post more videos of GUNTHER. Yes, in Deutsche, “hard, strong man" is befitting this 40-ton beast.

Going round in circles is known as slewing, curling the bucket in is crowding and the short piece is the dipper, the next piece is the boom connected to machine at the boom foot, hope you have many years of hard work and pleasure from your purchase. When moving a boulder of unknown size best practice is the tracks pointing at it not digging over the side like you were, happy digging 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
