love the sound of that big old Cummins bellaring away when the 635 has a big drag on, still totally impressed with the amount of wood that thing moves! Sucks to be Derrick getting an oil bath, but somebody's gotta stand in the line of fire once in a while hahaha. I hope the mills can keep on operating, more than enough guys been taking a hurting in your industry in the last several years!

On pulling straight hoses, on directional drilling rigs, we used to use a coupling that connected old hose to new. I know sometimes you need the old one to compare, but it's awesome when u know

I know this is an older vid. But a tip for pulling lines like that in tough spots is to have plugs that fit in the end of the hose that the rope hooks to and pulls straight from the end of the hose. It can help keep it from catching on stuff too. That 635 is a stud

I have had my fair share of hyd oil baths. Some with blown lines and some well changing lines. The worse one was on the skid steer and blew a tilt line and covered me from head to toe, lucky enough i was close to home so I pulled the line off came home and showered and changed and got a new line made up and back to work.

Back in the late 80's I was working for a fertilizer dealer while I was in high school clearing some bushes from around the buildings with an old Bobcat that had been used to load fertilizer for years. I was pushing it pretty hard when one of the metal lines that ran across just above my feet blew a rust spot out. It sprayed me from my crotch to above my head with hot high pressure hydraulic oil. Damn lucky I had on my glasses at the time. I was drenched in it.

Hi Thanks for posting, That 635 is like some tractors I get to drive, you don't need a radio to listen to in the cab. Just open the window pour the coal to it and listen to her bark while it's working hard. That string for pulling lines through works real good. I did a replacement 3/8 hose that was 30 ft long and ran down inside a steel backbone pipe on the back of a header on a customers swather, when the original steel hydraulic line rusted out. The guy didn't know how to do it and I earned $70 for knowing how to use a piece of string, that was an easy money job L.O.L. Whats the deals with the mills, economy and no markets or just like fuel plants that time of year to shut down for maintenance?.

Parker changes something on everything they do for me. I only go there if I absolutely can't get it anywhere else, though. I'd need a few more bankers if I bought all hoses and accessories there. Plus there's several counter guys at the Montgomery store that are as pleasant to deal with as a mama rattler. The guys in the shop are great, though. Even though they never have what I need, they'll find something that will work.
