Shop Dirt Perfect www.dirtperfec... Aaron and i pull the 120 in the shop and remove the stick, coupler and boom. we kick a few ideas around building a line bore to fix the coupler. #johndeere #dirtperfect #120rebuild
hands down the best youtube channel out there! You and Aaron do some pretty phenomenal work and i love watching and learning from you both. looking forward to future 120 rebuild videos.
Add another lift strap through the forward cylinder eye mount back to the lift hook and then a guy wont have to change his shorts watching that strap slip, whew! Good job guys!
Hey Mike. Good job. I have done that same job many times and none of the pins came out that easy. Thank God for good grease jobs. Thanks for the video.
I don't know what you boys got going on here but I like it! Seems like the sound of money your saving by doing it your selves. I enjoy the pins, tools and bearings falling all over the floor while your removing the yellow iron in your shop. Looking forward to the next video!
Time to get a line bore kit..you going to have a few to do by the time your done...after some one came out to our shop 30 yrs ago a did 10 holes I bought one an did a hundred holes or more Spence for me an other ppl. Well worth the cost...cheers
I saw that oil spill coming from 600 miles away... just as soon as the boom dropped off the blocks I told myself... “Wait for it... Wait for it... BAM!” You didn’t disappoint! Since that’s the only damage so far... good job. I’m sitting here with a worm in my tongue (with baited breath) for the next stage.
I wish I lived closer as would have enjoyed working on this project did this type of work during my working life being a Fitter/Turner Machinist by trade, job done well so far Mike and Aaron.
Next time when pulling the main boom leave pin for top of boom cylinders in and strap it from there both sides works out a lot better. Good video, nice to see a guy doing his own work!
Thanks for the steam clean! My OCD is doing much better. I can sit back and watch without hollering, "Clean that S.O.B.!" Nice to work inside isn't it?
Wow !!! So that's what grease does. Those pins poped right out !! Good job getting the boom and stick off. Looks like you guys know what your doing. Be safe bud.
Love to watch your videos on a free sundaymorning with a cup of coffee, aspecially these kind of maintainance video’s and offcourse with themanbehindthescenes 💪🏻. Keep them coming, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks Mike always love the shop time because that was always my happy place 😀 , I see a couple pins and bushings to be replaced 😕and Aaron did an awesome job welding the coupler.hope that works out as planned 👍👍🤜🤛 I have to admit THe Hyundai HX145LCR has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the scoop on this acquisition/demo??? Anyway thanks for sharing this 👍Hope you and Aaron have a great one 😀🇨🇦 Craig
Craig MacDonald I haven’t been on FB much over the last couple of years but did just see his post on Instagram. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what trade in value the Volvo has right now? 🤔
@@Crewsy Hi Wayne I'm not sure if he was even aware about the FB post looks like the Hyundai rep made the post lol On Mike's FB page. And kinda opened the page 🤔 lol maybe Mike will have to bring his posts up to date.lol anyway gives us something different and unexpected to look forward to. Have a great one 🇨🇦 Craig!
Good to see the 120 getting some love. I like the old deere machines. Not to say your Volvo is not nice and probably stronger and faster but the older machines just seemed to keep going and going with minimal stupid little problems where the new stuff always seem to have more numerous big problems once they get some hours on them. May be different for others but that's been my experience. Keep up the good videos!
OHHH BOYYYY This Means No More Floppy Bucket>>> And Man She Was Greased Well haven't seen pins come out that easy in a long time ....Much respect Mike Great Operator + Great Owner Youngsters could learn a Thing or two Watching you ... sometimes what to do and sometimes what not to do (hey we're Human) oh yeah you're Dirt Perfect :) what am I Saying j/k Mike God Bless
Pastor George... should we arrange a Memorial Service for the old Floppy Bucket? It seems like it’s been such a staple in the life of Dirt Perfect... I just hate to see it’s passing without some sort of tribute.
@@sassafrasvalley1939 lol here goes an impromptu memorial ..... Friends Family and Esteemed Guests we are gathered today to honor the memory of Mr Floppy Bucket He Served John Deere well for over 10 years he took care of Johns Friend DP for years without Fail whether a pond or a septic or a foundation He took each scoop proudly and with little effort... he was a Very dedicated Bucket rain or shine he was always ready to lend a scoop...and he once helped give dp and his family a hand putting up a water slide; man he was tough! so let us take a moment of silence for our Good and dear Friend Mr. Floppy Bucket..... in Closing we will miss our dear friend and welcome his replacement with all respect as Mr. Floppy would want us too... will that work;)
Tip: when using strap around a sharp 90 bend like when you were lifting the main boom off use a half cut piece of pipe to round the corners(just duct tape them on. Im surprised u didn't cut that strap.
Well done guys, really like the setup you've got and the overhead crane is a godsend. Love watching your vlogs hope the line boring goes well thought you would have used a mag mount drill and gone from side to side can't wait for next video. Good luck guys
i bet the boring bar works, but probably going to have to keep the feed rate and depth of cut slow and shallow. chatter and deflection going to keep the cutter dull. and I found through my own dealings that High Speed Steel cutters are a LOT more forgiving than carbide, especially with the interrupted cut.But I know you done got that figured out, so I'll sit back and watch with great anticipation! stay safe!!!!!!
Hi Mr dirt perfect. Great video as always. I just watched logger wade it was great and funny. Yes put your hat back on you scared all the mice away from the shop thanks again
Good to see this part of the 120 fix. Surprised that you didn't slide the main boom cylinders under the machine when you took them off so they were out of the way while working on the main boom.
That spot be a good spot to put me dad's dozer to if it will fit an just work on it as time and money allowed. Just an idea. Thank you for all you do. Hope everything is going well for you and your family.
I cant wait to have a shop and a bridge crane to make my life easier. Power washing equipment has to be one of my most hated things to do. Think i have 8 or 10 hours into washing the Lima and still didn't get everything.
Every time you rib Aaron, he has a comeback!😁 BUT, he did miss a perfect set-up @20:51 should have used the classic Millennial Farmer line "That's what she said" 😜😎😃 You two make a great work/comedy team. Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting
Only at 3 minutes and I have to go out right now so just a little comment so far! "SHOW OFF" You made those tracks park that thing like "Dancing With The Stars" - that would be you! Be back. Sonny (CT) Here @ 5 minutes, with more after this too! Oh yeah, the comment you made earlier about your hat! - You don't need that hat all the time (at this point) as you DO have lots of HAIR (now!) I remember when I started loosing some hair and it bothered me, my father said, "you have wavy hair - it's waving good bye!" Lastly, a TIP from the ARMY! As you cleaned your oil spill on the floor you have a wet oil spot on the concrete (or asphalt). We learned to clean this, sprinkle, "Speedy Dry" ( I call Speedy Quick) or Sand on the wet spot. Then you take either a brick or block of wood and rub the floor over the medium you choose and watch how nice it comes out in no time! Sweep it up and never know it happened. Later! Sonny (CT)
I know one thing with the boom and stick off them they are almost impossible to load they will tip back and set on the counter weight when going up on the trailer lol had it happen on a lod 690B one time.....I love your shop crane 16 years ago we built our shop new and concreted a 12in heavy wall pipe In for a jib crane but still haven't built it lol to many other projects going on I guess lol
Aaron's a good man, takes verble beatings and just smiles. Troubles don't follow him as it is above his pay grade. Not everyone can be a owner operator an have a feeling he might a been there a while as he just jumps in an helps.Was they to shave two thirds the cost off one of those machines then more people would have one to do driveways and what not. Not so sure why clear down unless maintenance and other related stuff. Those can be so miserable to put together that you swear if it goes that you will never do it again as those shims and spacers are horrible. I have seen the heal bushings go bad but never on one in that good a shape. Each one of those pins are a company paycheck worth for cost. I hate to see one that has a bushing gone and not get fixed as the cost of new boom would be replacement price for the whole thing guessing
Impressed by how easy the pins came out. How many hours does the machine have on it? Exceptional job of welding the quick coupler ( lots of boring welding, tedious). I'd suggest getting a longer stick to hold the camera, I could notice a few gray hairs when your cap came off. I'd suggest 6-8 feet. Lol. Just being a jerk.
@@DirtPerfect I'm planning a tiny machine shop at the house, thats one of the things I want to integrate so I can lift things onto machines. I've seen videos of guys with A frame gantry cranes, while they work they seem like a pain.
