On creaky old machines with cast iron transmission cases like this unit, I recommend taking a big-ass magnet from an old electric motor and stick it on the side of the case near the bottom where it won’t get knocked off if you run over a log. And by “log”, of course I mean “hobo”. Friend used to run a scrap yard and of course I could get all the magnets. Super handy for picking up nails & fasteners. 👍

When having to orient a wheel at a specific location, I've learned it's easiest to mark the outside of the tire with chalk. That way when you're in the cab, you can look at the tire as it comes around for a 1 or 2 as indicators of first and second stage of the task. Hopefully that helps in other applications too.

Love your videos, Matt. When draining differentials or "pumpkins", make sure the fill plug will come out before you remove the drain plug. I'm sure you verified that off camera, but wanted to make sure your viewers knew that trick. Really sucks to drain a gearbox and not be able to refill it.

22:10 High pressure means a relief valve isn't relieving or a passage downstream of the sensor/gauge is partially blocked. Red herring chasing plugged filters that, if anything, would cause a low pressure problem.

@fhuber7507 Год назад

Also, some people have been known to shim the relief valves to get higher pressure. The way that has been run hard with minimal maintenance, I would not doubt they shimmed the reliefs. I know a few light duty machines people do that to, when the correct answer is to get a different machine that can actually handle the job. (I'd rather adjust the reliefs to the low end of appropriate range. Less likely to break something.)

@TestECull Год назад

@@fhuber7507 Ye I'm the same way about backing the reliefs off below the breaking point of anything else. This shit ain't cheap even when it's old scrap like this and I don't have the pocketbook to be blowing pump seals and hydro lines all the time. Or potentially tip the thing over. I'd rather the relief valves kick in before any of that happens.

WOW!! Matt was not expecting a complete bath when you took off that one side under the machine! what a mess, and then to find the broken welds as well, but at least it is all taken care of, and as long as she is still running, and works ok, your good to go!!..thanks for sharing.. would love at some point to see more of the farm..as for the back order on the lights, they could be on one of those biden shipping container boats that are still waiting in the log jam off the california coast...

When I worked in Prudoe Bay, there was snow buckets that had pockets (underneath) for the forks slid into and pins behind the up-tight of the fork to keep the bucket on. It would work for gravel, but not too rough with it ! Just a thought ! 🤔

Thought about that. Seems janky for my purposes

great video as always Matt, i remember these all to well, under cab hoses are bear most of the time to engineers to be made to work on the things they design, hoses would be easier to change, people in the comments suggesting you get your own hose crimping machine and die set, it will cost you more even if you get the machine free, you'll still have to buy the ends and hose, our shop is over 2 1/2 acres in size and we had the set up of our own and after a year we quit doing it , it ended up costing us more, almost $75,000.00 than just getting them made 1 block from our shop, continue having a shop make them it is easier and cheaper for you in the long run , and i agree with Wes, 3M makes those inserts for you they work awesome, looking forward to the next video 👍

4:25 Thank you for taking the time to say you care about the environment, I watch almost all your videos and I know you're not full of it when you say that! You walk the walk!

When I was in waste management, we had a Fiat Allis loader in the garage, but a street legal version since we used it for snow removal and cleaning up lots filled with trash. It had a lot more character than the Case six cylinder gas loader that was gathering dust. I'm glad you rescued this one.

Even though you technically didnt 'fix" anything, all the fluid changes can only help (only if you dont have bad seals..HAHA). You do great work, and would fit in with our environment (we are ranchers in CO) Keep up the great work and video's and I will keep watching.

To easily align your final drive drains and plugs, use a framing square to mark a line on the tire with some spray paint.

Or lift the machine and move them all after draining the old oil.

When can we see more content on the unit dragline? Buddy of mine was the previous owner.

Unfortunately I probably won’t get to it until spring. I have too much going on,

$10 rear view mirror suggestion. To save time and avoid too many jump seatings, add a chalk line on the tire apprentice mark (as mentioned before) and if a fella had one of the $10 cheap door mirrors angled to see the tire, set long ways on the ground, whereas the driver can see it like a rear view mirror...bingo... 5 minutes set up time saves lots agrivation .

Brings back memories of the AC 645M I ran in the Army. Thanks for the fun.

@yohahnboogaloo8158 2 года назад

I use marker paint too mark top of tyre so I can see from seat when drain plugs are lined up 👍

@ecclesmilligan8712 2 года назад

Or there is the option of pairing the camera with your phone so you can see what the camera sees. Captain Kleeman did this to align a clutch brake for easier removal.

@wjamesm1001 2 года назад

Yep kinda do the same thing , I find a short piece of 2x4 laying around and a can of spray paint and then line the drain or fill plug up with the board and put a paint mark on the tire
