Did you ever sell the smaller reffer unit?

I would leave outside air flow not changed as internal components get cooled by it ,opening new vents might do more harm than good .Loose belts cause less air flow too ,the tensioner travels on two axes ,tightening both belts at same time ,it needs two different wrenches and a hammer if rusty . Nice shop !

Freon is a trademark name of a refrigerant. What you changed was the refrigerant from 404A to 134a.

How do you afford this stuff

I remember a guy here outside of Sydney who owned a refrigerated hauling company, and had an old Thermo-King reefer off one of his old trailers, bolted into the side of his big shed. All I remember is how nice it was to work in there when we used to go work on his trucks in a hot humid Sydney summer! Not sure if he swapped out the old gas for anything else etc but it worked for him.

what cost per hour/day/month.

Not quite sure why you did all that. I haul refeer for a livingm weve done this with our shop. The unit is designed to work from 80 degrees to depending on unit -30 and anywhere in between for as long as needed. Ive ran loads where it ran at 65 for weeks and others where it ran at -10 for weeks. The unit air flow is design to flow air in the sides and out the top.

Thank you for posting your video, Mike. I saw a video of yours several months ago and you got me thinking. I haven't found a unit just yet but will keep looking. How much fuel are you using in an 8 hour period?

Thank you for this video!! You answered every question I had. Your a very smart fells. Thank you!

Fantastic video. Really cool how you revamped that refer unit. You’re a super smart man. If you ever get a chance I would like to see the wood splitter in action again. Have a great weekend sir.

Drinking whiskey after a long days work and am currently watching this on my tv 😂 I tell all my hvac buddies about this setup you have and they are dumbfounded. You are a very smart common sense man and I’m happy to know you brother.

Nice work Moe! You got it figured out. Most DIYers don't understand AC or refrigeration. They always think more freon is better, Wrong. and don' understand the different types. Nice tool for troubleshoot or just monitoring. TGP

That’s pretty neat. I like your 6000 lb table!

A buddy of mine has a refer unit in his 60x80x22 ft. Shop, he found a light weight heavy cloth duct work for it. At 105° here in Arkansas at 85% or more humidity, you can hang meat in there. Pretty awesome setup. Y'all take care.

Did you add ducts to the inlet and outlet of your reefer unit inside your shop? Im a diesel mechanic and have my own shop. I stole your idea and bought a reefer unit to cool my shop but its not working to well for me and was curious if adding ducts would help

Any chance you could show us how it is set up on the inside? Thinking this maybe the way to go .

I ran a 53 euclid. 13 yard wheel wind belly dump. Had an old 671 Detroit. Tough as hell.

Old Detroits are hard to kill.😅

Looks like an internal separator housing fire that quickly went external and. Most separator filters have a printed warning that they need to be earthed. Just a guess. Great repair job.

Great info, Mr. Mike, thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I bet your friend is pleased. I'd say he owes you one!

Good day Mike is it getting hot in your neck of the woods here in western Canada It,s been unusually cool and wet

Mike very informative. Question. Did you have to pull the injectors and clean those also? Your custom tool reminds of a valve keeper spring tool for a B&S.

Next you’ll be rebuilding the engine. Ether the kiss of death.

I really wish someone manufactured and sold that gland removal tool you built. That looks higher quality and much higher leverage than the silly gland removal wrenches sold on Amazon.

Excellent, informative and well made video. Thank you for posting and I just subscribed. It's been a while since I've done a cylinder and I'm doing a stabilizer on my Kubota tomorrow. This video provided me a great refresher course.

Pretty cool. I remember seeing that one. I said to your nephew…why did you buy that??? Lol

Those machines are just absolutely freaking animals. And you got to love that they got the old screaming Jimmy but them damn things will push and push and push it's just freaking amazing what kind of push they got and especially having a screaming Jimmy 671🎉

That dog don't hunt! :)

Thank you!

Sweet Vid Mike have a great weekend

Good job old buddy, BHALE

Good info. Thanks!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Lock n Lube . Once I started using them I would never grease anything without it again. It's a third hand.🍻

Those radiators are big money. I really enjoy your videos

Gr 8 Video! Safety First TGP

Wonder what the tonnage rating on one of these is

Nice video ❤👍. I see your big steam gauge sticker on the fridge, I'm also a operating engineer mechanic local139 Wi since 1983.❤

Thanks for the excellent video, well explained and good to see a man at your level off experience still give the press a wide berth when using it. It’s a good lesson for the rest off us. Thank you 👌

I had to do the same thing on one of mine about two years ago. I used almost the exact same method. Biggest difference is that I just moved the press out in the shop and left the fork on the tractor. I was very nervous about it but I got it back where you can’t tell at all.

Great Video! Your healthy fear of the forces at work here is a good lesson in respect balanced by necessary risk to get the job done. Safety guys might say "just buy another one" but fixing what you have is better than wasting good stuff.

I know I'm a little late from when this video was made, but just aquestion, when you do individual battery jumping as you mentioned, do you have to disconnect all the cables from the 24 volt system

Thanks for the video Mike! What brands are those jumbo impact sockets on your work bench and where would you use a socket that size?

I've pumped a lot of grease and I learned something from you. I have been taking it off wrong and the suction was clearing the head. Makes so much sense, Thank you for your effort.

Its a water well pressure tank. Have 2 in the water system on the large dairy farm i work at. Pat from northwest WI

I use a grease gun so infrequently that the grease solidifies in my gun. What grease resists doing that best?

I learned something. I’ve been loading my gun wrong all of these years. As a kid I was taught to pull the rod out first so that’s how I’ve always done it. I used to always have trouble with them air locking. I learned to take the left over grease out of the empty tube and put it back in the head. Problem solved but hands dirty. Looking forward having clean hands next time! It’s really common sense but I never took the time to think about it. I like my pistol grip gun but you’re right that it’s hard on your hands. It just seems like everything I own has a fitting or two where the lever gun won’t fit. Never owned an electric gun and don’t grease enough anymore for that to make sense.

Lincoln was the gold standard. Thank you for the post, learned me on the track specific fittings. God bless.

Interesting topic. I worked on a farm as a kid and greased many pieces of equipment. One thing that annoys me is when people grease something and leave big blobs of grease all over the fittings.

Good info. Lincoln grease guns used to be made in STL.

Lerned something new thanks mike up here in the great white north when I'm wear gloves i use the plastic cap to pry open the metal end so my fingers don't get cold
