While I'm so sorry that Barney didn't get fixed, the smiles & laughter that you two brought me were wonderful. When the video ended, I was sad it was so short. Imagine my surprise that it was a 40 min video. The time just flew by. Thanks for this. It was as enjoyable as I figured it would be. You guys rock.

[@georgelaforest1713]

It is nice when you have a friend that is willing to travel a good distance to help you . This video just proves Mike is that kind of friend and a really good person just like you Chris.

DP needs more subscribers so if he’s on someone else’s more popular channel he can get more subs faster by transfer.

you guys may already know this. make sure the vent on the banjo housing is clean .it can build up pressure and blow the seal.Stay Safe

[@cullenmiller8170]

I used to use a porta power ram between frame and rim to push the wheels off. That way I didn’t have to worry about things falling off the blocks. I guess you can always loosen the lugs and drive around in circles to break the rims loose. 😂

[@dansbrown1313]

It's both amazing and gratifying to realize Mike drove hundreds of miles and took days off work to help a friend in need! I'm sorry it didn't work out but you both tried so very hard to make it happen.

[@ronaldclark1178]

Chris, Very few people have friends that would travel that far to help a friend!!

[@mikewebb8456]

Always great to see the operators unafraid to repair their own equipment.. 👍 great work guys !

Always a treat when Dirt Perfect is on site. Chris mentions video sequences may be off and we have one as an example. Still Enjoyed!!

[@dennis2376]

What an adventure. Real pain when the parts are wrong. Thank you DP. Thank you Chris and have a great day.

[@justlost2010]

I am glad you went the route you did on the parts. Take longer but it will be done right and hopefully last longer.

[@chuckjames1943]

25 years ago, we were rebuilding a 1200 cfm screw type air end using all factory stock bearings. Got it all shimmed up properly and after tightening the last bolt, the thing was seized. Had it apart 3 more times using different factory bearings with the same results. Finally discovered that even though the Timken thrust bearing had the correct part number, there was a suffix number that indicated the end play tolerance. We had never seen it before nor had the factory. When we got bearings with the correct end play all worked well. Sometimes things don't go as planned, however, we keep getting smarter. Mike, put your ear protection on when you are using the impact wrench. At 80 years old, I now wear cochlear implants because I did not heed my warning. Great video, thanks.

Awesome Dirt Perfect came down to help. Chris it pays to have good friends.

[@lhking1892]

Nice to see the two of you working together. Too bad about the seals or hub issue. But you will get it taken care of and feel good about the results. 👍👍

[@Todd.Roberts]

Just glad to see my truck getting some TLC .

[@AnomadAlaska]

Good head mounted lights work very well. I love them for mountain biking and working on things. Kinda easier than setting up and tearing down a light tower too.

[@DMAN10]

It all seemed so much easier with an overhead crane…lol! When you upgrade the pole barn…make sure you add the crane to the new LD18 shop. Thanks for sharing Chris!

Nice throwback to putting the clips out of order. Love your videos!

[@terryrogers1025]

Now, there is a pair to draw to, what one can’t think of the other one will. Great to see you two working together, makes for a great video. Parts, more parts, then you get wrong parts, life in the fast lane. Thanks for the ride along sir.

[@detroitbob58]

Nice that you have a new (slightly used) TORQUE MULTIPLIER!! I would have LOVED seeing you use my Dad's old tool!!

Reminds me of a day when I was lost in the puckerbrush northern Maine-I don’t know where I’m going but I’m making great time.

[@stanleymartin1613]

Goodness what a job to take on. DP does a good job taking things apart! Seems like you're going to need different seals and spacers? Alot of work though. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@johnblake3863]

Nice to see you two together! I'm a fan of both of your channels.

[@pinwizz69]

So awesome to see Chris and Mike working together again. Sadly China made parts threw a bent monkey wrench boxed and shiped by Murphy delivered by a gaggle of Gremlins into the mix so now Mike will have to come back to get his jackstands back. That's the consolation prize for us subs. We hope.

Well Mike, looks like you have the beginnings of a mobile service rig 👍👍 I hate it when a repair that seemed to be on the road to a successful conclusion and then a simple part that doesn't fit shuts you down 😡🤬 Chris, you are lucky to have the friends you have 👍👍. I hope you bought Mike a really good dinner 😉

Dump Truck Maintenance - well - it takes a little bid of Effort to take the Tire off - she is a Beast and Heavy ! Rebuilding the Drum with new Parts - looks like the "China" Seal did not fit - waiting on the Correct Part (Original Parts are always the Best) - ah - well - that's how the Cookie sometimes crumbles ! Looks like Part 2 of the Continuing Maintenance will come very soon ! Great Guys and Great Video ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

Hot tip: For greasy oily gloves find some fine dry dust and make like you're washing your hands in it, gloves on of course, the fine dust particles stick to and removes the grease, your gloves won't be clean but they won't be greasy either.

Somehow I ended up on this video of yours and my 2 year old daughter decided that this is what we were going to watch.
