I wish that we had KZbin 30 years ago. I almost bought an old skid steer but was afraid it was beyond my skill level to repair. Congratulations and nothing but respect for all your hard work 👍

[@TheHomePros6221]

man tell me about it!! I wish we did to! but then again I was able to teach myself how to fix things but it would have been easier with it

[@malcolm.703]

Colour, amazing, 👍 lights, awesome, 👍attention to detail, with the decals, top notch. 10/10 👍👍👍

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks a bunch!!😊

[@rbassettjr]

I worked for Toyota for 40 years before retiring and a purist to the brand, but your color choices look great. During the wiring episode as you showed connectors I knew something was up when that cold start injector connector didn't have a spot.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Right on thank you🙂

[@Triumphwonderdog]

Love you video’s. I see a lot of new people posting things like replacing engine in skid loader but a lot of them don’t show the actual work. They walk around saying stuff like I put this new engine in,here is the old one. I had to drill new holes to mount it but none of them actually doing it. You have some of the best I have seen as you diagnose then repair. Wish you the best on you tube and look forward to you painting the loader. Thank you

To keep those new decals from drying and peeling, give them a couple of coatings with clear paint from a rattle can.

[@TheHomePros6221]

yea I was thinking about doing that, they are supposed to be highly uv resistant 3m vinyl but I mite clear coat em

Nice job on it. The one American Flag appears to be backwards on the one side of the machine.

[@TheHomePros6221]

@@stevedue4485 thanks brother!! Yea that’s just how the decals came

[@MikeB707]

@@stevedue4485The American Flag is always supposed to be backwards on the passenger's (right side) of any vehicle. Always place the flag decal so that the canton is seen to the viewer's right. The stripes should be positioned closest to the rear of the vehicle on both passenger and driver side. This also applies to wearing a flag on clothing. The stripes always face to the back. It’s as if you’re driving or walking forward holding a flag, the forward motion always blows the flag back.

[@rationalguy2744]

I knew a few guys who painted cars with isocyanate paint who had serious heart problems. They regretted not using an air source. One guy told me that it only takes a whiff to do real damage. The hardener, I believe, is what does it. Also, silica dust from blasting or cutting masonry will change your life, fast. I'm not a safety freak. I'm just practical. And, great job on everything you do.

[@TheHomePros6221]

oh wow! thank you

You should be able to get the main arm in float mode by pressing the foot pedal forward until it "clicks" into float mode. The you can back drag and adjust the bucket angle and grade better. Very nice work!! Makes me miss my old sdk7!

I used to think the colors the Japanese picked for some things were a bit odd or goofy.
