Cat 313 First 500 Hour Service.

[@lovejcdc]

Great video Lindsey, very informative. I would recommend if you ever want to have treated posts for fences etc that will last forever save your waste oils in a 30 gal barrel. Then you soak the posts for at least a couple months. We did that a lot on the ranch and those posts are still good even now. That was in the early 90s.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks bro. I had plans to do fence posts like that around my place. Just don't have the time to build it. But that's exactly what I was gonna do

[@tonymiles3106]

Thanks for filming the service review, it looks much easier to service than a Deere, glad it worked out good for you. That looked as easy as servicing my Kubota mini.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was easy. If it would've been hard or not gone well, I would've quit very early that day. 🤣

[@tristardiggin]

Good info and video. I will holler when mine needs it and you can run up here and knock it out. 🤣

Thanks for filming that. I haven't even gotten to the 500 hour service on my KX-057. Now that I have a bush hog for it I think I will put hours on it at a faster rate.

Dang, 500hrs already. Seems like I just showed ya how to run it not long ago. Time flies lol. Tristar got jealous it looks like, got him a 313. Copy cat lol. Good to see it’s got some hours on it though, means yer working, nothing wrong with that!

I would change my on oil too. Thats a crazy amount of money for Cat to do it. Hope yall are doing ok and god bless yall. Have a great day buddy.

[@smithworx1091]

Good to hear from you Paul!

[@jakezgab8576]

Brotherly advice, be careful next time leaving the refill cap completely off especially in the woods, u don’t want any flying debris or leaves falling into the valve cover. I would keep the engine cap on it slightly slanted to allow air bleeding while obstructing any debris from falling in. Used Differential oil is like gold, I always brush it on slightly rusted metal to keeping it from further rusting.

[@smithworx1091]

I should've covered the oil fill port. Yeah that differential oil seems to last forever and soaks in stuff.

[@jakezgab8576]

@timl.9990 he’s a good man, it happens to the best of us, he’s very smart man got caught up in taping the video. For a machine operator man he’s very knowledgeable about mechanical stuff. The more u watch his videos the more u respect what the guy does. He earned my respect and I’m a mechanical engineer, I actually design many automotive parts.

Hi another great day today

Sure hope Sam @ TriStar Diggin' watches this.😂 You know he may get his mechanic do his service. That way to many tools for him to use.🤣 Lindsey I hope we're not to hard on our buddy Sam. They make things to easy on the equipment nowadays. I would have been covered in diesel and oil 40 years ago servicing the equipment. But I was always good about laying down on the job.😂

You are smart to use the Cat filters!..don’t ever use anything else and you will be fine!…the Cat oil is super expensive but it really good oil…that being said so are most of the heavy duty oils out there but if you watch the sales you can always find Rotella or Dlevac on special!..

So far Cat filters have been the cheapest to buy. I've used Rotella for years. Seems to be good stuff

[@TNT27767]

I wish you’d switch over to a Volvo machine. Cat, in my opinion just doesn’t live up to its name anymore. I watched the video with the skid steer problems. Once again a Cat machine. I’d sell it too and change over to a tach machine. Those are just my opinions. Oh, I’d also like to see you get a haul truck. That would be a plus to your already great company. Keep the video’s coming.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@smithworx1091]

If there was a Volvo dealer closer to me, I'd probably be sitting in one. The closest one is about 2.5 hours away. I'd like to try a tach skid steer also. A haul truck is on my radar for the next piece of equipment. I need one bad.
