Adjusting the Valves on the Kubota L2800

[@fredmckiel1349]

Hi Dave. Good seeing you again. Thanks for sharing your storie. When you said your mom had a reading of 26 i thought she had a high suger i think what you ment was 2 point 6 . A low suger like that is difficult to xperienc for a person of a sound mind. I can.t imadgin what it .s like for a person with demensa. Your a life saver. Great diy on the valve adjustment. Live by the mantra . The easiest money to make is the money you don,t have to spend. Love this channel.

[@daveknowshow]

thanks fred, her meter reads 26 and 86 is a normal persons sugar above 100 is not normal and anything below 60 is getting dangerously low. most people pass out when its below 40 or 50. sad part is before bed the night before her sugar was over 300 which is way to high. I think the new meters measure in point increments.

Dave what's up! You do what you do Dave, coz you're a proper dude. Respect! Dealing with somebody with dementia is challenging enough without a bottoming out bg to go with it, wow! I know a little bit about all that, I was a paramedic years ago. As for adjusting valves, man that looks involving! Dave, you the man, keep on keeping on.

[@daveknowshow]

thanks for the support. I need a boost in moral more than you know. lol today was a good day!

[@MrPabco]

Your a good man Dave. To honor one's parents is pleasing to the Lord. Hang in there. I too took care of (or did my best to) my dad and mom as they approached the end of their lives. It is one of he most fulfilling acts of service you will ever do, but as you said, very often it i not easy. Your mom comes first, we will WAIT for your videos. God bless.

[@daveknowshow]

thank you brother Paul your support is very important to me

[@circlepfarm9729]

God bless you Dave! When my L3130 reaches 800 hours I think I’ll just leave the valves alone if it’s running okay! That was a major job! Looking forward to your next video.

[@daveknowshow]

yes it was a major ordeal to disassemble all that mess just for valve adjustments

[@khtractors]

Hey Buddy I’m so glad you shared your story about your mother! You will be rewarded one day for your efforts and caring heart. You tackled a big job there! Glad you have your problem figured out. I’m interested to see what it is! Have a great day!

[@daveknowshow]

thanks brother I really been enjoying your channel. you are having way to much fun on all those tractors.

[@jamesmullis6827]

God bless you and your mother. I admire your efforts. My mother passed and my wife and I had to care for my father for a number of years . He was a very independent man and lived to 89 years. His health declined drastically his last 2 and at times he was difficult. He needed our help but resented it at the same time often saying things that no son should have to bare. I respected my parents and did my best to never talk back. Thankfully he never got ugly with my wife or sons who also helped. A friend once told me " don't worry, it will get worse ". Unbelievable but that helped me deal with my feelings. He had been thru much the same with his mother. All I can say is do your best and you won't regret it. Hope you and your mom the best.

[@daveknowshow]

so true it likely will get worse. I know what you mean about hearing and seeing things no son should ever hear or see. I try to just keep focused on the main objective keeping her safe, healthy as she can be and out of the nursing homes or hospitals. thank you for your support.

[@rodneyhardee2527]

Sorry about your mother Dave! Prayers coming your way brother!

[@daveknowshow]

thanks my friend, I appreciate the support.

[@GFD472]

Great job Dave! Your a good man taking care of family like that!

[@daveknowshow]

we all love our moms and do all we can for them.

[@AkDadStuff]

keep it up Dave it will all pay off in the end. Bless you for all you do for others. Don't forget to take care of you.

[@daveknowshow]

you are so right, I looked back over this video and thought "DUDE I LOOK AWFUL!!!" tired and worn. been feeling bad the last few weeks. well worse than the normal feeling bad. of course I take comfort knowing it could be worse and makes me thankful and grateful of my blessings. just glad I have folks like you just an email away I can lean on.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Great video Dave.Nice of you to take care of your mom God bless you . Your in mi prayer mi friend and your family too. I know what your going to, mi mom broke her hip a month ago.

[@daveknowshow]

praying for your mom my friend. I worry my mom will break her hip all the time. that is really hard on a person to break their hip.

[@chuckb.5076]

Hang in there, my brother. You're a damn good man doing the very best you can. There is plenty of time for tractor vids. Thanks for all the videos. God Bless.

[@daveknowshow]

thanks Chuck!

[@Kevin-ne3tl]

Glad to see you back, Dave!

[@daveknowshow]

thanks Kevin glad to be back.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

A lot of work! Somethings is better to let the dealer deal with it! Sorry you didn't get the problem fixed! Have a good week my friend! See ya in the next one!

[@daveknowshow]

thanks John

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Dave! Wow, that project got out of hand quick, but you got done like an expert! You convinced me to let my dealer to that job! Looks like it would be money well spent. I’m so sorry to hear about your mother having so many health issues and the toll it’s taking on you to care for her! Just put out videos when you can, my friend. They are worth the wait!

[@daveknowshow]

thank brother I could not do what I do if not for the love and support from my youtube family.

[@Darrell_Coquillette]

Dave, you're doing the right thing by taking care of your mom. We can all wait a little longer for the videos. I have a similar issue with my mom, and I know it can get tough sometimes. Take care, and Happy Holidays!

[@daveknowshow]

happy and blessed holidays to you and your family as well.

[@kashkoa8355]

i guess I am kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@jaycejacob9933]

@Kash Koa I would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@shawnjay615]

@Jayce Jacob yup, been using flixzone for months myself :)

[@kashkoa8355]

@Jayce Jacob Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

You are a good man Dave!!! I know how hard it can be, gone thru it 2 times with my Mother and Father. The best to you and your Mother. Good luck fixing the tractor. Later my friend.

[@daveknowshow]

thanks so much brother I could not make it with out the love and support from you guys.

[@daveknowshow]

thank you so much for the kind words. I could not do it without the love and support from you guys here on youtube. really thankful for your support. cheers!!!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@daveknowshow Welcome Sir Cheers !!!😊👍

[@qcan8468]

Thanks for the interesting video. It seems the manufacturers don’t think of maintenance when they design the tractors! It’s a great thing you are doing for your mom. Speaking from experience, make sure you don’t get burned out. It feels like you can’t at times, but if you don’t take some “me”time, you won’t be able to be there when she needs you.

[@daveknowshow]

you are so right 100% !!! there never seems to be any time for me and what I need most of the time.

[@williamdarico2369]

Great video Dave your a great man for sure my wife is a type 1 dieabetic so I know it’s no picnic my mom had dementia too not to bad she made it to 91 a couple of years ago now she’s in pease. Happy Holidays to you and your mom and family!

[@daveknowshow]

thanks my friend. sounds like you know exactly what I been dealing with. we love our mom's and do all we can for them. happy holidays to you as well.

[@ryanlynch2259]

I'm sorry for your loss Dave. Hope all is well

[@daveknowshow]

thanks Ryan hopefully I will get the kubota back running soon. as for mom she is doing much better today.

[@ryanlynch2259]

[@drgnner6028]

You are impressive Dave! It is possible that I may have dialed 1-800-KUBOTA COME FIX MY TRACTOR. My best wishes to you and your mother.

[@daveknowshow]

I cant tell you how much your support has meant to me. just knowing you are there and email away has been a true blessing.

[@drgnner6028]

@@daveknowshow Its a two way street Dave. Truly. :-)

[@Bamacountry88]

You’re not a dummy in any way Dave!! I know about the low blood sugar,the lowest mine had ever been was 24 and it’s a bad feeling..you’re doing a good thing for your mom Dave..take it easy bother!

[@daveknowshow]

24 is very low surprised you stayed conscious. my mom's went so low the machine simply displays "L" for low meaning the machine would not go any lower. she was unconscious and I had to give her an emergency injection of glucosamine. took about 20 minutes but it brought her back around. the other day when her sugar was low she ask me " why you keep saving me?" she wanted to just die. that made me very sad.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I was thinking the same thing Dave. Time is a premium for me so the dealer will get the honors of the valve adjustment job.

[@daveknowshow]

it is likely worth what ever they charge. helps keep the doors open as well.

[@1rustytree]

Hang in there Dave , you're Mom raised a good son!

[@daveknowshow]

I was the problem child! lol ha ha she tells everyone can you believe what he has done for me?!?! makes me feel good to hear that.

[@BisonWorkshop]

your mother is more important then we are. take care my brother.

[@daveknowshow]

I cant tell you how much I appreciate you being a phone call away when EVER I need emotional support. your a solid guy my brother. much love and respect to you from me!

[@deanbarr5740]

Great video Dave, sorry it didn't solve your problem. Could the noise be coming from the camshaft? I believe the camshaft drives the oil pump, I've heard this can rattle at times. God Bless you for taking care of your mom. You will be rewarded oneday. The Bible tells us to honor our parents and sounds like your doing everything right. Prayers for you and your family.

[@daveknowshow]

I had not given the cam shaft a thought. glad you mentioned it but hope its not to serious. I think I have found the issue. wont know till I tear into it and put it back together. I look forward tou your thoughts on the next video showing what I think the issue is.

[@deanbarr5740]

I wouldn't think the cam could be worn with only 800 hours. You are like me when it comes to maintenance, as i always stay with the recommended hours in the book. These engines should be good for 6 - 8000 hours.

[@daveknowshow]

@@deanbarr5740 I'm hoping the 6-8000 hours is the low end I'm looking to get 15000 plus out of this Kubota. lol cant afford another one.

God Bless You!

thank you I need all the blessings I can get. praying blessings for you and your family as well.
