Just a tip for MBTS, spin the pail around so the pour spout is at the top! Pours smooth with no glug-glug-glug because it can breath. It’s much better for a lot of reasons actually, give it a try!

[@woodcutter6235]

Glad I read your comment,I was just going to say the same thing.

[@silentepsilon888]

or just poke an air hole in the lid so air can go in as oil comes out. When you don't use the entire can of oil, put a screw in the air hole to keep dust out.

[@garysparks2681]

"Vacuuming ain't - it's a sucky job". Truer words were never spoken.

[@justingulick6747]

That's funny Aaron was blowing out that air filter and the dog was tucked up underneath the side-by-side just laying there getting dirty LMAO

[@joejohnson7097]

When MBTS was calling you a 3-year-old, having a temper tantrum, I busted out laughing. Love watching you too work together. When parts are not quite right and you make things work. I see Officer Don had to keep you 2 in line. Thanks for the video

[@kaydog2008]

Here's a shop trick Mike for Arons sack. Use the crane to pick up and hold the 5 gal oil bucket by the handle. Than all you have to do is tilt the bucket. Working smarter not harder buds. 👍👍

[@brotherbruce]

Always good to keep the commercial vehicle inspector happy. When those guys write tickets it isn't like a speeding ticket. You could buy a car with the amount of money some of those tickets are for. Glad to see Man behind the scenes too. You guys provide great entertainment.

[@nathanscott7910]

That desperate help from Aaron on the final drive bolt was hilarious.

[@jameswest332]

MBTS did you know that everyone is born Right handed but We are privileged to overcome the difficulties of the masses !

[@wrecks02]

MBTS and his ONE LONG FINGER!!!!!!Gold!

[@cliffcollins4124]

Great to see Officer Hoover it the workshop.Apart from having fun and enjoying your company, he is seeing first hand the care and maintenance levels you try and achieve. And the way he was getting stuck in there, he 's good value. Many thanks for another enjoyable video

[@johnroberts8475]

I've never seen two guy's more happy about a new seat, 👍

[@chrislaarman7532]

Have you ever seen politicians winning? ;-)

[@willobrien2508]

how about that new stick, he aint right lol

[@richardphelan8414]

Shop time with Mike and Aaron and Hoover ,we are guaranteed a fun time lots of laughs trying to figure how to remove the D4 seat ,The More you know ,Would you look at that !!!.What you need is another pair of hands in there working ,The back and forth banter is worth the price of admission ,good times you guys ,whose buying lunch

[@alexosborne5629]

DP having a toddler tantrum in the seat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless 😂😂😂😂 Pleased Officer Hoover was there to witness the tantrum, and give some two handed strength to remove the electrical connector for you 💪💪 D4 now ready to go back to site, how long will the seat cover stay clean ????? 🤔

[@jerryoxley9556]

Hi DP and Aaron. I love the interpretation of the seat tantrum!Great job with the wiring! Great vid guys, loved seeing Aarons arm shakin with the oil fill! Jerry..UK

[@ronsibila7795]

the D4 will breathe a sigh of relief after that cleaning!!!!

[@OldSchoolDNA]

It’s good to see Mike has Aaron multi-tasking….lol. Mike needs to pull a fast one by putting a C-clamp on the rail of the seat so the travel is clamped down from moving…..Record Arron trying to move the seat forward in the field….lol😂😂😂. This piece of equipment is ready for the next job.. Great video Mike.

[@larryehrlich57]

Oil filters that are used in aircraft "must be safety wired". The oil filter manufacturer builds safety wire attachment points on their oil filters. I have always hand tightened all my oil filters. I never use a tool to tighten oil filters...just hand tight. I always use a permanent marker for change date and milage. Blue Sky's.

[@anthonysutherland9487]

Good to see that Gunner is wearing workshop croc like his dad.

[@jeffmentzer9186]

Mike, you guys are frikin hilarious! I laughed so much my stomach hurt!! Please don't EVER change! Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure buddy!!!!

[@gussaba9004]

Tapy tap Wiggly wiggles Job is perfectly done

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I'm surprised you are able to get stuff done, it's a good thing you can work while laughing! Nice service on the D4 and that seat cushion looked awesome. Nicely done. And nice to see you two stop by Matt's place.

[@lindaleslie5634]

Great teamwork, and I’m glad you put Gunner in there to check behind you guys! 😉🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@geraldstahlman7036]

It's getting close to the time when certain young people can learn to run a dozer huh! I can't wait! You have wonderful children! Love you brother!

[@glennspreeman1634]

Considerate od you to have the shop attached so its more convenient for Jenn to call emergency services when needed!

[@erniehill4357]

I laugh the entire time y’all work in the shop😂😂😂. Need a shop day video about every 2 weeks. Really enjoying your channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jessjohnson5572]

Watching you and Aaron working these last few weeks has been a lot of fun. You guys work together very well and are really entertaining to boot. Although, when you’re talking to him over the radio it’s like listening to Boomhauer from King of the Hill try to tell you something over the phone. Don’t get me wrong, I love that show. I just don’t get what he’s trying to tell you, but I figure it out.

[@firemanjeffgg2440]

There was more dirt in the air filter than was under the seat 😂

[@chrishelms1967]

Ohhhhhhh what Mike said @37:40........and Aaron just let it slide without a snarky comeback 😮

[@NiklasNorlen]

Great video, little bit of maintenance will go long way!

[@Jeremy-de2of]

I can see Aaron close the socket set to see witch side says top n bottom n they all fall out again lol

[@6658tw]

That black piece is for the seat slide and in the center of it is an Allan screw that is used to tighten up the slide. On the final drive level and fill plug the best way to loosen them up is hit them with hammer and punch that will loosen up the O-ring seal and they come loose easy.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Nice to see Officer Hoover in your video Mr Dirt Perfect

[@jorrick66]

From years of making a mess, if you spin that bucket 180° where the spout is at the top, it doesn’t chug on you 😉

[@jamessimon7367]

MBTS must have had some free time because your shop is looking great! 😀😀😀😀😀

[@daviddavis6855]

That seat will be cooler in the hot sun that’s for sure.

[@laceitup1]

When I saw DP have issues with that seat, I had to agree with MBTS, it looked like Mike was having a tantrum😂😂 That was classic! You guy's work so well together, its so enjoyable to watch. Also, love to see Aaron clean up any machine you guy's are working on❤

[@hilmaallen1302]

Nicely done guys plus a help hand from Officers Hoover and Gunner.

[@justinmills8084]

You can tell a good man when he visits. He pitches in and helps with what you're working on. And he even gets greasy

[@terryrogers1025]

D-4 is a pretty nice utility dozer and for as many hours it has on it it sure runs and sounds pretty nice. Nice maintenance video gentlemen, thanks for the tag along video.

[@kaboom4679]

Those extra wires are for the ejection seat option which is the only reliable way to get Jerry off a dozer .

[@SpartanZapp]

I figured the ejection seat is for when Jerry has to kick mbts out to finish the job.

[@brandonsearle990]

Could go either way

[@rudyrivera7426]

Good teamwork! Glad to see little man in there! Thanks for sharing! !! 👌👍

[@johnrobichaud130]

MBTS has dozer operator skills in his blood in time he'll get better

[@Jeremy-de2of]

Andrew camarata said in his video he put out last night that he was going to the utility expo n Kentucky that’s awesome

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup

[@RRRIBEYE]

and he's givin' away 300 shirts!

[@paulburris5220]

Hey DP, you're going to have to give Aaron a raise he's doing such a good job! I really like you guys do a great job!

[@tomswindler64]

I’d say the dozer needed that service,always gotta take care of equipment.great video as always.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@jamesdearman814]

Glad to see Occifer Hoover helping out - glad he's a friend. the garbage you gotta go thru to change a joystick . . . .

[@RRRIBEYE]

Did you check the coolant? What about the air in the tires? 😆

[@thebear5454]

At least all the filters are easy to reach and replace on the D4. You know how some brands like to squirrel them away so you need an engineering degree to change them. Good job bringing the old D4 finish dozer back on line Mike.

[@charlesmarshall3396]

Good to see your son and your daughter in your videos.

[@dannycarter9848]

If you putt a little bit of oil on it every now and then would help

[@andrewk6844]

As a heavy Diesel mechanic the rule of thumb if the inner air filter has any dirt on it ,the outer has failed and you replace both

[@dansevern3291]

I keep thinking about "upgrading" the old ranch dozer, until I realize that the starter, lights, and the guages on the dash are the only electric things on it, and the only plastic parts are the knobs on the handles. Thanks for talking me out of that idea.

[@stevebarnhart2090]

Made wrong in Hong Kong strikes again. You are a resourseful and patient man, while the MBTS provides comic relief. Good job

[@Bman2020]

Let’s be honest I spit my coffee in laughter with u two oh to spend a day or two or six would be a blast the D4 deserves every repair it’s needs great watch 👍👋🇨🇦

[@MalibuDan1967]

OMG!!! MBTS calling you a 3y.o.o having a "temper tantrum" trying to move that seat had me busting my gut laughing DP!!! Officer Hoover supervision duties were put to his limit with you two. You guys are great together. Appreciate you taking the time to video & edit all the work y'all do. How many LBS of dirt & debris did MBTS remove from under the seat & how many empty Pepsi cans were actually recovered that weren't shown on video??? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

[@stevenr8606]

A pic of the seat cover (Officer Hoover style) would get BIG 😂

[@adammenz]

do yourself the favor and turn that bucket with the spout up when the bucket is full to pour saves a lot of mess.

[@clarencewiles963]

From the job to your shop! You’re not missing anything! 😊

[@Crewsy]

@25:22 “I only have 1 long finger 🖕🏻” 🤣😂🤣😂

[@annasproule6138]

Awhile ago I suggested your intro needed updating and this evening I’m taking the time to say, “Wow, you did good!” And this episode just shows what time it takes for general upkeep and service! Thanks.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@John13Edge]

Suggestion for next time…..using a small pick you can dissemble the connector on end of cable allowing cable to be removed with no soldering involved. Just make sure you take a picture of what wire goes where…😉

[@njonebale7889]

Yes…that’s the way to do it…take a picture is right or your…!

[@DirtPerfect]

It was not in very good shape

[@soundman6564]

I started laughing my butt off when you said 5 gal. bucket, I actually had to do that back in the early 80's because the owner was to cheap to replace the seat, I really didn't relish the thought of hugging the exhaust stack. I quit the next day when he refused to do the repairs as it was a bit to dangerous for me. Nice job Arron on the repairs 👍😂

[@charliehill6914]

DP and Arron, when you poor oil out of a container, be it a 5 gallon bucket or quart, turn the container so that the spout is toward you and you have to tilt the container way over before it pours. I promise, most of the time it will work better. less spillage and smooth flow with no glug gouging. Try it.

[@peterduran8564]

I thought Aaron was going to lose it when you told him what you were going to do to the air filter but he kept it together 😅

[@bobbeaumier8212]

Happy for you, bunch of good helpers

[@donanything6816]

Good job!! Aaron, put the handle on the other side and then use your weight to break them loose. Smarter not harder, you are already forced to work harder. LOL!!

[@heatherlane9270]

Comfort retuned and further frustration allayed. Fun as always. Officer Hoover giving a hand as well. Gunner appears too.

[@tedmueller2178]

Hey there guys, entertaining as ever......when pouring out of any size drum, turn it around so the spout pours from the top of the drum, eliminates that spurting and splashing as the air can escape easier.

[@ronsommer9409]

Air has to enter the bucket to replace the oil that is being poured out.

[@michaelhuhn90]

Gotta love shop days!

[@chrislaarman7532]

Best thing: no credit card required. ;-)

[@georgeenriquez612]

Shop videos are the best! Thanks guys

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Great job on the D-4! The most important thing you fixed was the seat cushion! You should get a weather-proof elastic cover for the seat to help it last a little longer! Great video! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim

[@bigbarracreekaussie3449]

Aaron is searching for his true vocation,yes the D4 is the true path for this man.

[@kevinmurray7135]

And Mr Hover loyalty to the Hover cleaning that off brand vacuum 👍😎🇺🇸

[@danielelwell2571]

Enjoyed the content, good laughs DP and MBTS.

[@mischef18]

From temper tantrums to joysticks yeah that sounds about right, great video guys. Safe travels. Ken.

[@koolaskoalas]

think you'll find it easier if you pour from the container with the spout at the top not the bottom.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job helping your Dad Gunner

[@hilmaallen1302]

“ when life hands you Lemons, make lemonade”

[@ukoldgit]

Probably a tad late this time but next time you come across stuck roll pins bear in mind they are spring steel heat treated to around 800 Vickers, which is bluddy hard and will total most work shop drills (and bugger up the surrounding shaft hole it's embedded in due to overheating during a failed attempt at drilling it out) Try a "Stellite" drill bit at very high speed it can burn it's way through pretty well anything you will come across and leave less devistation in it's wake than a thermal lance😋🤣😛😂

[@jasonwilliams9331]

Oh the jokes that are running through my head on this episode! Love you guys 😂

[@davidfarley1175]

Mike, another video, well I don't want to say anything that makes you go into another 40's s something Childish Rage, as you did over the hillside job, where I watched every video on that job, I praised you and Arron, how well you guys worked together and how nice the job was, and Arron being upset because you missed him turning around on top of the stacked block, you were furious that I mentioned you putting roots and sticks in as fill in his yard, I DON'T miss your videos and you both do excellent work together, but informed me how you were doing the job on the cheap trying to help out the elderly man, and was just barely making anything on the job KEEP DOING GREAT VIDEOS and I'll keep watching

[@dljones61]

I do believe I need counseling, here I am at work at break watching you 2 work 😵‍💫 Great job you guys and I’ll see you on the next one. Unless counseling works 🤣

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@markrich6657]

Hi Mike, MBTS, doesn't matter what job you do, with a bit of humour and good assistance you can accomplish just about any task. As well as entertaining us subscribers. Again , thanks for sharing and all the entertainment as well. Take care you guys, catch you on the next one MARK over in the uk 👍

[@chrishelms1967]

Took so long to rewire the joystick , Mike got replaced by a stunt double in different clothes 😮

[@johnblake3863]

Thanks for just being yourselves. I can always count on you to cheer me up. Thanks!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@madtack]

Clint just posted a beautiful low hour D4G with cab ;)

[@RRRIBEYE]

Shhhhhh! 🤣

[@young11984]

DP best way ive found to blow filters out is i made an adapter for my leaf blower to push in the inlet and use the leaf blower with if sitting on the ground, pull trigger tap it here and there its clean in no time lol

[@redbloodedamerican7130]

Teaching your son right sir 👍

[@michaelmaker8169]

Ya MBTS it hurts.🤣🤣🤣 P.s. if you put the spout around the other side, you can get closer to the filter.

[@keithk8698]

Glad Aaron is back! He’s just as funny as Chris. Makes my face sore from smiling the whole time 😂

[@stevenphare5455]

I don't know which is the best piece of equipment that you have. The ruckus rake, or MBTS. They both make the job look great and are a bonus on any job. I love to watch both in action. But MBTS can talk, and that's a plus. Keep them both please!😂

[@kaboom4679]

The rake makes less noise tho .

[@Mrhilljack]

I put one of those suspension seats from attwoods on my case dozer. No adjustment rails. Just had to bolt it down where I like it. But better than 1000 dollar for a new seat from case because the frame of the old seat was so metal fatigued.. you would be surprised how comfortable a 89.00 tractor suspension seat is on a dozer. It's been on there 3 years and about 400 hours. Does well on slopes to. The wrap around design holds ya in the seat. On another note. I really hope you keep the D4 Mike. The case 550 will never be able to replace a dozer. Just doesn't have the visibility or agility. Air conditioning is nice but not nice enough to replacing the D4 the longer undercarriage on the dozer is much easier to finish grade with.

[@joecallahan3379]

MBTS, shorts and boots a classic look, you are a fashion magnet.

[@richarddemers1750]

I have been binge watching D,P and I’m telling you this is one of my favorite channels and I only have a few.all I can say is you mike and MBTS makes this channel. The two of you are what makes this channel. You to make me laugh every video. Great great channel. Thank MBTS for me. Thanks guys!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thank you glad you enjoy the channel

[@maxobara1496]

D4 thanks you very much!! And thanks to Reddog for making tedious jobs easier😉 Nice work guys 👍🇺🇸

[@johnklemets1809]

good evening from down under DP Gunner and Aaron there is never a dull moment with Aaron he makes my day thanks guys for another top video

[@user990077]

MBTS says "Cause I only got one long finger..." LOL

[@artm5294]

Now that you have three guys in the shop, do you have any light bulbs that need changing? 😇🤠🇨🇦

[@kevinmurray7135]

And DP whooping another problem with ease nicely done 😎🇺🇸

[@Crewsy]

@50:55 Now would be a great time for MBTS to have his folding kneeling pad set there as a seat cushion. 😉

[@robertconreux8079]

Cleaning the air filter probably will a 20 hp!😂

[@prodkey]

Turn the spout to the top! Great to see the D4 getting some love!

[@davidcook7565]

You make it look so easy I would have to go buy another one and that one wouldn’t work right
