Repairing and Uncovering MAJOR issues with Loader

[@localcrew]

On creaky old machines with cast iron transmission cases like this unit, I recommend taking a big-ass magnet from an old electric motor and stick it on the side of the case near the bottom where it won’t get knocked off if you run over a log. And by “log”, of course I mean “hobo”. Friend used to run a scrap yard and of course I could get all the magnets. Super handy for picking up nails & fasteners. 👍

When having to orient a wheel at a specific location, I've learned it's easiest to mark the outside of the tire with chalk. That way when you're in the cab, you can look at the tire as it comes around for a 1 or 2 as indicators of first and second stage of the task. Hopefully that helps in other applications too.

Tip for aligning the drain to the bottom: Draw a chalk line on the opposite side of the tire to know exactly where to stop for the drain.

Matt when you change the final drive oil alone use a grease pen or chalk and mark the tread of the tire corresponding to the drain and fill. that way you can save some getting in and out of the cab. Even duct tape will work.

Love your videos, Matt. When draining differentials or "pumpkins", make sure the fill plug will come out before you remove the drain plug. I'm sure you verified that off camera, but wanted to make sure your viewers knew that trick. Really sucks to drain a gearbox and not be able to refill it.

22:10 High pressure means a relief valve isn't relieving or a passage downstream of the sensor/gauge is partially blocked. Red herring chasing plugged filters that, if anything, would cause a low pressure problem.

[@fhuber7507]

Also, some people have been known to shim the relief valves to get higher pressure. The way that has been run hard with minimal maintenance, I would not doubt they shimmed the reliefs. I know a few light duty machines people do that to, when the correct answer is to get a different machine that can actually handle the job. (I'd rather adjust the reliefs to the low end of appropriate range. Less likely to break something.)

[@TestECull]

@@fhuber7507 Ye I'm the same way about backing the reliefs off below the breaking point of anything else. This shit ain't cheap even when it's old scrap like this and I don't have the pocketbook to be blowing pump seals and hydro lines all the time. Or potentially tip the thing over. I'd rather the relief valves kick in before any of that happens.

This video is old but if you're still interested to make a quick coupling system for that loader; 1. You could look into the triangle coupling that is often used on field tractors for quickly switching between equipment. They are easy to make from scrap steel, I've made a few myself. What's great is that you can basically make it as heavy duty as you want. You can also buy them and they are not terribly expensive, would probably require some retrofit on your machine and idk how heavy duty you can get them at the shop. Basically you have a male and a female triangle, female part goes on equipment and the other on your loader. 2. You could also look into the typical snow plow coupling which is extremely heavy duty and easy to make. It's basically a french cleat design on top where you hook your laoder into the bucket and then it's secured at the bottom with two pins on either side. It's not as fast and easy to dis-/connect as the triangle variant, but it's even easier to DIY and more heavy duty. For triangle: just google "triangle quick coupling", should give some results. For the snow plow: google "french cleat" and , obviously you'd make it in thick steel and not wood, but the principle is the same. If you'd like me to send you links/pictures of any of this, let me know, I'll email you.

@@deezelfairy I’m not sure if the chlorinated variety is even available here in the states now. But it’s an old rule of thumb I always stuck with and toss out “just in case”.

Isn’t it amazing that the machine can have issues and be crusty and rusty but something little like the film not pealing cleanly off the hour meter can drive you crazy. That happens to me to.

It never fails to amaze me how awkward manufacturers can put fittings and nuts. Even a contortionist would struggle with some of them. You do well to get at some of them.

You certainly gave that old girl a birthday, well done that man, respect from the uk, 😁👍

The exhaust manifold on vehicles . If you wire brush it and paint with Phosphoric Acid and wash off after an hour . The rust left will be converted to Iron Phosphate which is inert. Paint it when dry with an etch primer then cover with an overcoat of heat ready Pot Belly Black or similar. Looks great and stops the rust!!

I'd run it till it fails , at least it's on your property and you can deal with it later 👍cheers Matt🍻

[@sabinwills7687]

Even though you technically didnt 'fix" anything, all the fluid changes can only help (only if you dont have bad seals..HAHA). You do great work, and would fit in with our environment (we are ranchers in CO) Keep up the great work and video's and I will keep watching.

I use marker paint too mark top of tyre so I can see from seat when drain plugs are lined up 👍

Or there is the option of pairing the camera with your phone so you can see what the camera sees. Captain Kleeman did this to align a clutch brake for easier removal.

[@wjamesm1001]

Yep kinda do the same thing , I find a short piece of 2x4 laying around and a can of spray paint and then line the drain or fill plug up with the board and put a paint mark on the tire

I got a air lift vacuum fill coolant tool and I pealed the sticker off the plastic gauge and it left a ton of glue on it. Took me forever to get it off. That cab was like an escape capsule, in case of a roll over it breaks away.

Pull a vacuum on your hydraulic tank and it'll keep you from losing all your oil when you change the hose.

Or a Ball Valve to Close so You Don't Loose All of the Oil
