First big pivot repair of the 2024 growing season! In today's video we do a lot of creative problem solving together to start an engine without a battery, move a pivot, change a gearbox, and replace a tire. Come spend a day on the farm with Laura! There is always something to do. Thank you to UMC for sponsoring the channel and especially today's repairs.

Laura, a suggestion. Get a magnetic tray that you can bring along and attach to the pivot. It can hold all bolts and nuts instead of throwing them on the ground.

Safer to use the closed box end when using a wrench to avoid rounding the nuts/bolt. Great job!!! I hope Grant realizes how special you are, I'm sure he does. And as other said copious amounts of anti seize will help with future removals!

@mrc8534 Месяц назад

The mounting plate hole for that gear box has a slot for a reason, because they are so heavy you run a bolt half way into the gearbox before you hoist it up and slide that bolt into the slot so it can hang there while you get the rest of the bolts started then tighten as normal leaving the slotted bolt for last. This also works for servicing if you need to move the gearbox a tiny bit without needing to remove it completely. Cheers Laura, Thank You for the Videos.

@katreniaclark I'm 51 and have been dealing with (30 years) a bad back, multiple surgeries resulting in the bottom 3 levels being fused, a lot of scar tissue and nerve damage causing neverending chronic pain. Up in oregon, my doctor prescribed me oxycodone for pain management for over 20 years. I would only take a couple pills to get through an activity. Averaged 3 pills per day but honestly, I would sometimes take up to 6-8 in one day, depending on the activity, and then have to rest for a few days and not take any pills. I moved down to South Texas 10.5 months ago and they are much more strict with opioids. I established with a new doctor and he referred me to the pain management clinic 30 miles away. They also said they won't prescribe opioids for long-term pain management and recommended an internal pain management delivery system, "pain pump". My original Medicare coverage was lousy and I simply couldn't afford to move forward with any of that. Then I added aarp medicare advantage plan to my medicare coverage on March 1st, 2024 and it covers far more without raising my monthly premium! Here comes my point! 😉 Well, I received the trial medication injection yesterday (04-17-2024) and was absolutely amazed by the results! I was actually out of pain!! I could walk without my 25yr limp, other than my right leg muscles being out of shape, and I stood upright at the sink to wash a few dishes without any back/leg pain or fatigue! I'm scheduled to get the pain pump implant on May 2nd and couldn't be more excited! This procedure is changing my life. I was very close to "the end" just a few days ago but after feeling the relief for several hours while the trial medication was onboard was incredible. I didn't think, after all these years, that I could feel life again without constant pill dosing, which I wouldn't do for obvious addictive risks. Final point, I'm just a regular Joe Blow, former truck driver on social security disability and am actually excited for life again after the implant surgery! I strongly encourage You and anyone else suffering from chronic pain (mine is low-back) to talk with your doctor about Targeted Drug Delivery for Chronic Pain. A couple links from the brochure I received today. medtronic.com/painambassador (chat/question with actual patients with the implant) and medtronic.com/nurse Best of luck and I hope you find relief!! 🙏😊

Always break the bolts loose and tighten them with the box closed end of the wrench, the box open end of the wrench will flex open and round the bolt off. You can double up two wrenches by putting the closed end of one wrench over one side of the open side of the other wrench for more leverage. Good work getting the job done!

Hi! Remember your friend leverage? Use him for hidden bolts via an extension pipe Also, use a penetrant spray first before you did the bottom 3. And yes, take the pressure off the final bolt. I usually leave them all in place until the last one is ready to come out. You will learn from experience. An additional thought. If you're taking the drive unit off, break all bolts loose while the rim and tire are on, just like changing a flat on any vehicle. Then jack it up off the ground.

@earlribaudo4807 Месяц назад

I like Gage, very good worker. Laura, when trying to break loose a bolt, never use the open end of the wrench, that could and will just round the head of the bolt. Always use the other (box) end of the wrench, should be a six point box end. A twelve point can and will round the head of the bolt off if the bolt is too tight. Very good video, really enjoy watching you, Grant and Gage do the things you do. Take care and have a really great year.

@dlfabrications Месяц назад

Maybe use Anti-seize (cooper grease) on nuts, bolts and shafts (couplers)? 🤔🤔 Oh, in tight spaces, you can double up wrenches end to end for extra leverage and use the closed end to prevent rounding off bolt heads and nuts.😁😁

❤ANTI SIEZE❤ was a must growing up on our grain farm in fairly dry North Central Montana. It was used on lug nuts, bolted connections of all kinds, pulleys/pulley shafts, couplers like yours, literally any kind of "mating" surfaces that had potential to oxidize and fuse together like your tire rims to the gear box. About the only thing that we didn't use on might have been the bolts that attached the "duckfoot shovels" on the shanks of the plows we used back in the day before no tillage methods came along as they were replaced a few times a year. I can only imagine the kind of environment that those pivot components have to go through.😱 One last resort for a lot of those ENIGMAS😉 would be to have and know how to use a cutting torch setup on your rig. A little bit of heat can help to remove stuck nuts/bolts and if all else fails you can just cut it off and replace it.😃 On the other side of the spectrum a crucial thing we used were the ❤Loctite❤ products. If you had a bolt that needed to stay put but still be easy enough to get out when needed: use the Blue Loctite. When the bolt was "supposed to stay there forever": use the Red Loctite😃 Last thoughts: box end wrenches, ratchet wrench, or socket and always have a cheater pipe or know how to use 2 combination end wrenches together to get more leverage.😃

@rickwidmer8942 Месяц назад

As someone who has been wrenching for almost 60 years, I have a few comments on this job… Jump box without battery: The jump box is a battery. I suggest you leave it connected while you are running the engine. It probably won’t make a difference on the pivot, but you should never disconnect the battery on a modern (computerized) vehicle. (It was an old way to test alternators, but can kill the computers in modern vehicles.) Rusty, stuck bolts and nuts: Penetrating oil can make an amazing difference. WD-40 is probably the most popular. PB Blaster is probably better for rusty bolts. Robbie Layton has talked about a new product (Free?) that he gives high praise. The longer it sets the better it works. Keep a can in every vehicle. If you ever find a problem and decide to come back in the morning… spray it down with penetrating oil before you leave. Combination wrenches: Whenever possible use the box end. It spreads the torque to all 6 points on the bolt/nut making it stronger. The open end only acts against two points making it much easier to round off the head.

@Laser3303 Месяц назад

Laura, always use the box end of a wrench on stuck bolts/nuts, to keep from rounding-off the head. Also the open end can bend or break if too much torque, or ruin the head of the bolt/nut, because there is only 2 points of contact on the bolt/nut. Also, WD40 is your friend on almost every stuck bolt.

@davidmiller6010 Месяц назад

When removing stubborn bolts/nuts, and you need a combo wrench, always use the box end wherever possible. Slips less, locks on and more forgiving if you need to slide a pipe over it for more leverage. Don't be afraid to spray some panther piss on the threads. PB Blaster, Kroil, Marvel, CRC56 helps alot. Also, speaking of threads, the most surefire way to be your own best friend is to put a dab of Never Seeze on your threads anytime you don't need threadlocker. Judging by your operation, you should probably invest in a case, and put a can in every toolbox, work location and vehicle. Then in the future, when you need to remove that bold or lugnut, you'll be thanking yourself that you used Never Seeze the last time you were in there. Make it a habit- you'll be glad you did. Only takes a few seconds. Thanks for sharing, and I'll watch for the next one!

@johnmcmickle5685 Месяц назад

@v1rotait23 Месяц назад

Hi Laura and Gage, it's a tree root as in toot and loot, but then most New Zealander's English pronunciation originates from Great Britain. That last tight bolt was in a slot, which is there to allow you to hang the gearbox onto the pivot wheel mount first, by its loose bolt, taking all the weight of the gearbox. This then allows you to then orientate the gearbox more easily without straining yourself so the other through bolts can then be inserted through their holes without hardwork holding it all up! Use lots of "never seize"! I know the nearby field from spotting that 1500ft communications tower in the background (I'm a radio engineer so I always see any kind of tower or mast! 😁 You are a wonderful instructor and speaker Laura!

There are two different ends on the wrenches that you were using. They are called Combination Wrenches. The end the is open and looks like a fork is called the Open End. The closed end is called the Box End. The Open End is meant to be used after the bolt or nut has been broken loose the speed up the removal of the bolt/nut. Beind "open" it is also a bit springy, which when turned on hard enough will allow the wrench to slip and round off the corners of the bolt/nut. The Box End is meant to be used the fully tighten the bolt/nut, as well as to "break loose" the bolt/nut. Then it is much easier to use cheater bars and extensions to apply extra force without the wrench end "springing" open and rounding the bolt head. I also highly suggest using anti-seize on the knuckle tube/shaft connections and the nuts and botls. It will help tremendously with any service work in the days ahead. I know, that stuff is nasty and gets everywhere. I would rather deal with a little silver goo now than a whole lot of stuck stuff months later. The nuce thing is that a tiny bit goes a very long way. Most of us put way too much on the first hundred times that we use it. One quick swipe of the brush that is made into the lid of the bottle only half way round the bolt is plenty. Then on the coupler half shells a small swipe down each face and those couplers will almost fall off. I know, I am probably the hundredth person to tell us this in this video. But hey, if it works it's worth repeating, better yet saving time.
