Can You See The Pond? Time To Renovate!

[@tristardiggin]

That would be a really cool job to do except for that stump. I believe that is the biggest root system I have ever seen, wow! Great message! Amen…

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Yep! I thought the stump would come out easy since one side was basically exposed. I was wrong!

What a great video man. And a great message at the end. Really spoke to me in a time when I needed it.

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Thank you! I am glad the message had meaning for you. God says HIS word will not go out void (Isaiah 55:11). I appreciate you watching!

Enjoyed the pond build! Sam def would have had his saw stuck in that tree 😂 just kidding! I like the way those tooth pins work over mine! Man how does Kubota expect ppl to afford parts 🤦🏼‍♂️. Great message sir!

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Thanks! Yep I was going to say that I have these problems because I pick on Sam but thought I would give him a break. I don’t know why their parts are so high. The shaft and gears to rebuild the drive with was $3200 from Kubota. So I bought the aftermarket one for $3200. Thank you!

I needed a good long video to watch while I work. You need to do more of these long form videos. Can you bring that ex. a few miles east and do my little pond? We need the same thing.

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Thanks! If I was closer I would bring it but AL is quite a pull for me. Did you get my email?

[@roblane5699]

Amen brother! Made new in Christ!!

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Thanks for watching!

I used to work at a kubota dealer and 9 times out of 10 the it wasn't the drive motor that goes out its just one shaft that strips out alot cheaper to fix then a whole drive motor. You might want to check into that

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Thank you for the information. I bought a new aftermarket unit for $3200 and have already installed it. I had checked with the local Kubota dealer for pricing on the shaft and planetary(?) gears and the quote was $3200 for those. I still have the old drive unit and I believe you are correct in that it is the shaft. I may price the shaft only and restore the old unit to have in the future. How hard is it to install the shaft as I have never taken a final drive apart before? Thanks for watching!

[@jakegoff5485]

@planeanddirtsimple it's been awhile since I have done one but the best I remember its not to bad of a job just lat everything out as it comes apart and be careful with all the seals. The end cap is held in with a wire hidden under a set screw. Just spin the cap until you see the end of the wire and get the wire started coming out of the whole and spin it out

How many hours on that excavator and dozer?

[@planeanddirtsimple]

The excavator 4900 and the dozer I’m not sure. Hour meter was not connected when i got it. The meter was showing 5000 hrs so I’m thinking 7000 at least.

[@kirkpalmer1709]

@@planeanddirtsimple Ok I guess it isn't too bad to have a drive motor go out with that many hours.
