Technical college classes and you're more thorough I've ever seen good job

Two grand is way too cheap for that thing it is absolutely running in working and operating that means it is worth at least $5,000

[@nikasandin576]

[@ChrisDenny28]

You are a great teacher! For example, when you explain how to hammer the valve springs, you explain why and how to do it and then demonstrate...then explain again on the second one in case we missed it. From Delco, PA, keep the diesel videos coming!

[@kathyruuska7941]

He learned that from Gus.

[@bigbobvub]

You da man!!! Growing up on the family farm in northern Maine, I've had my share of seeing my uncle lose his sh!t attempting to get farm equipment running. He taught me a lot. When I went into the Army in 1982, all them city boys thought I was some kind of mechanical savant just because I fixed a broken starter on a jeep...lol I admire you, sir! You truly are a mechanical savant, unlike me. I'm no expert mechanic, that's for sure. I absolutely love what you do. Unfortunately I'm a disabled Army veteran these days, and being housebound makes it even worse. Watching guys like yourself gives me some freedom albeit I'm doing it from a chair sitting in my living room. I'm a huge fan, bro! Thank you for posting videos about your passion and what obviously brings you joy and satisfaction. I took it for granted and lost. Keep up the great work!

[@bertgrau3934]

I've worked on a few tractor, one I remember was a case, it had a 4 cylinder Perkins engine, someone left it outside without the exhaust stack uncovered. Took the head off, it was very bad shape. Ordered a rebuild kit, took the head to a very good machine shop. Cost $600 just for the head, but after putting in new rings, and bearings it started up fairly quickly, ran rough for about 15 seconds, then ran great. The biggest problem was, like you found the hoses were bad. The gentleman that bought it, changed all the hoses. And some other stuff. For a tractor that was built in 1968, it's earning its keep. It has the front end loader, and the back hoe as well. The man that bought it says he is very happy to have it. Sir, you did a very good job, and kept a good machine from being junked. I enjoy your videos, some times I kind of wish I was younger. Seriously though, I don't want to go through all that again so I will stay at my old age .

[@dancarney106]

You are a good man. You offered the owner a very fair price considering you had no idea and then you sold the machine at a very fair price. Thank you for worrying about the bees. We people depend on those little guys.

[@luckysevenairammo1217]

@Tango Downx2 All bees assist in the pollination of most plants, many of which we consume to stay alive, many plants can only reproduce with the direct pollination of bees. Other plants don't 100% rely on bee pollination but they definetly benefit from it. Without bees many plants that we consume would be in big trouble.

[@chugaaa]

Wow that was impressive!!!! I bet 99% of people would off quit after the compression results but not Chris, that thing just had its second chance, well deserved though it looks like it has potential. Looking forward for the next videos!!! Great job 👏🏻

[@ionracer24]

Nah, the rings just get sticky, its and easy fix

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

The previous owner seems like a good person, and quite good with their hive of bees. That driver who picked up the 310 for transport is truly a madlad with pushing the limits of his rig, considering how you see the entire front end of the truck get a solid 2 feet off the ground while the ass end was pushing into the dirt.

[@ericstegner5730]

Don't worry about the horse just load the wagon

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

@@ericstegner5730 _the horse becomes a pancake smear on the ground_ Uh.......should I worry about the horse now?

[@powerofone1645]

I love how you always prove to us that you genuinely care for other creatures great and small. Beatles, bees, squirrells, hens, dogs, etc. Well done.

[@itsnotjunkyet1290]

Well I’m a new fan of your channel! You keep repairing all over the map, tractors,boats,cars,diesels, etc. Myself, and I’m sure many others really appreciate the analysis you use and procedures to test and fix stuff are very helpful. It’s obvious your a gold star mechanic and generous with your knowledge, seeing stuff come back to life on here is awesome! Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your channel!

[@vmikeb1]

There’s a pressure dump solenoid on the hyd pump to relieve pressure while cranking that’s wired to the starting pole of the switch. Or you can “rock” the steering wheel while cranking. Will make all the difference in starting. I owned several 310’s, 310A’s & 410’s. Great old machine in its day.

[@stroys7061]

I watch your videos in part because I love the sound of an old iron engine coming back to life.

[@bryanewing5058]

That was awesome. It feels good to see an old backhoe come back to life and get put to good use. Great video!

[@wheeler391970]

Great video! One quick tip on starting these machines, on top of the arm of the clutch pedal there's a part that pivots up which allows the pedal to be pushed in further. I believe that it bypasses the hydraulic pump which will make the engine turn over easier and faster. I used to run the exact same hoe. Great machine! Thank you for your entertaining vids!!

[@shannonlawsonnashville]

Hey man, thank you for the warning to turn down the speakers on that particular segment in this video. I listen to vids with headphones a lot when im touring. Great vids

[@neildawson8576]

Great job on the restart.I enjoy listening and watching your knowledge.

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

You're probably one of five people on the planet that would've gotten that rig firing. Super cool video, super stoked JD, going to a good home, ready for work. Keep on doing your thing!!!

[@cubleycat]

Wow we would not scrap something like this in the UK. Im sure you could use this at home! Brilliant job, well done, I wouldn’t have done anything differently to what you did to get it running. I am so pleased it got saved and is working for a new owner. I was thinking you were going to take it home thought lol.

[@wyatt1476]

Stumbled across you channel and you have great content man!! Your narrating is almost exactly the same as my internal dialogue when working on projects. Makes your stuff very relatable. And along with your mechanical knowledge makes for a great combo! Cheers!

[@thelaidbackguy1922]

Really cool with your knowledge... persistence does pay off.. great job Chris... looking forward to the next one..

[@CPthetooladdict]

You are the first guy that finally put thick oil down the cylinders to get something started on the youtubes I laugh at all the other channels that don't do that and struggle lol great video!!

[@davidsnyder2000]

What an awesome result!😃 Can’t believe you brought that machine back to life….amazing job😄👍

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Always enjoy watching you perform your magic Chris. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Best wishes.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks so much for checking the videos out!

[@walkerhawes2200]

My father had a 1979 410 JD that looked exactly like that 310. I remember when he would go level dirt out for people or dig a “trash hole” I would sit on the fender and hold the armrest on his seat. I spent many hours on that fender. I really wish my dad still had that backhoe. It was a true workhorse. Great video and great job saving her from the scrap heap.

[@scottnyc6572]

Persistence pays off.Gotta remember that foam oil in situations as this.Great job,loving the content so far.Thanks

[@t1259sw]

I own a JD410 four cylinder backhoe with a cab, very first heavy equipment I bought. I use it for maintenance on my two properties, it's not going anywhere. One nice feature about these when operating the front bucket up and down it has no affect on the angle of the bucket and yours has the two cylinders to swing the hoe boom. Great job saving this old iron.

[@WingmanJohnny]

Learn something new every day. Thanks for the heads up. Great job by the way. Keep up the great work 👍

[@vhrocks81]

Awesome video! Man, I could watch a full rebuild video on this tractor. Just so neat!

[@mudhustle]

I have a 310A, it's a beast. I wasn't surprised when it ran. Good job man. The ignition on mine is on the same part as the throttle just behind towards the back.

[@robertgentile6799]

Great reboot and video! I grew up learning to operate heavy equipment on a 500c John Deere backhoe

[@markduncan6690]

[@tractormatt4301]

Awesome video Chris, I have some crazy story’s from buying and selling tractors, wish I wore a go pro for some of them, people can’t remember what they ate for breakfast, let alone how well a tractor ran 20 years ago. I’ve had people tell me tractors are blown up, and we’re parked due to it 20 years again that start up with a jump and some starting fluid.

[@davidfarmer1666]

You saved the Deere and that is your goal. Good sticking with it.

Man your videos are awesome! I love how well you've set up the Toyota for working on stuff away from your garage. I've been shopping around for a camper shell to do something similar with my Silverado K1500. I went back through your uploads to see if you've ever done a walkthrough on your truck to show everything you've done to turn it into the mobile workshop it is. I didn't see anything but if I overlooked it please let me know. If you haven't already made that video I think that would be really cool and people like me would love to get your 2 cents on what every good Fix-Up truck needs in it's arsenal. Everything from the onboard air to the emergency whiskey ration under the hood lol. You're the man! Keep up the good work! You've definitely got one of the best YT channels I've come across!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Hey Joel, thanks for checking out the videos and awesome to hear that you like them. No I haven't done a dedicated video showing everything in my truck. Honestly it's just stuff I've compiled and added over the years. Every time I need something I end up adding it to my truck. The video where I sunk my truck in the river, gives a pretty good look and how much stuff is in there. I'm hoping to get a service body for the ram in the future and set that one up a little bit better for working on site. I'll be honest climbing in and out of the cap to get stuff gets tiresome

First piece of equipment I ever ran, a good machine. My uncle had one exactly like that. He showed me once or twice what did what, then left. I was leveling dirt in about a 5 acre lot. I was scared I was going to mess it all up, he laughed and said, its dirt, you cant tear it up. Dont go near the woods, dont go near the highway and try everything on it front and back, so youll get used to it. He left me there for 6 hrs, when he come back I had it graded, and had that machine figured out. We went and got a lot of Budweiser then.....
