“Your money is made in your shop.” Any farmer knows that! Your ability to maintain, repair, design, create is pretty darn inspiring. Well done guys.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

You two are just like Laurel and Hardy! 😂 Absolutely a treasure. Nice to see Crash. I really enjoy the channel! Thanks for sharing 👍 😂😊

[@surlyogre1476]

Add Crash to the mix and they are the Three Stooges.😁

[@rhondasweeney7271]

@surlyogre1476 Without a doubt !!!🤣

[@CarCommentator]

This is hands down the best car restoration video I've seen. The passion and precision shine through in every scene

[@joejohnson7097]

I enjoy you and Aaron together. There's a dull moment. Poor old crash was double team picking. Thanks for the video

[@holyearth61]

Always enjoy a good shop day with you and Aaron. The craziness never ends.

[@markarmstrong2592]

To Mike and Aron i love the banter use guys have it is very refreshing to watch and listen to keep it going guys

[@michaelhuhn90]

Gotta love the overhead crane for jobs such as this, talk about time saver. There is never a lack of work that needs done. Keep up the good work Mike.

[@paulprigge1209]

I know diesel creek is watching thinking of his overhead crane that he has dreams about lol. PS should’ve bought a Honda !

[@dansbrown1313]

Yes the overhead crane makes working in a shop much better. Clinton @ C&C Equipment uses forklifts in his shop, he said it was because an overhead crane was too heavy for his building.

[@raysmancave1]

Small machines like this are usually at the bottom of the servicing list, hence they are driven into the ground, believe it or not your one isn't too bad. We have had them in for repair with major faults and they are still used on a regular basis. Treated nicely these tiny trucks go on forever plus they exceed their limits without complaining too much. Yip with a little maintenence they are a pleasure to operate

Your mouse is back when Mike is taking the passenger side tire off in the back by the door he is exiting stage left

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Wow. It's amazing watching you successfully pull things apart and replace them. Nice job, both of you. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@staceyacre]

Great video guys! I watch these videos before I go to work, and it makes the day seem better! Then I rewatch the older stuff after work, and my stress just goes away! Thanks guys!

[@williamerdman3349]

Hoisting it up made me think of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy when the guy hoisted his Rover into the tree.

[@huggy1712]

Shop time with Fred flinstone and Barny Rubble fixing the flinston-mobile lol have fun guy’s keep up the great work

[@charlesswhitlock]

My John Deere Gator XUV 850D also has the yanmar 3 cyl diesel engine. It's a good engine. Ours is approximately 2006 or so model (can't recall exactly what year we got it, it was before 2007 when I was sent to Iraq). Ours tracks hours not miles, it has 700ish hours in it.

[@troyfortune4124]

Can we just take a minute and recognize that Crash seems to be a pretty good sport about things?

[@dennis2376]

And got them back because of the comments. :)

[@thomastrimberger157]

I think we need to give crash some air time to defend himself!

Good morning all have a great weekend, don't let the heat get to you. Enjoy😀😀😀

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

I always get a laugh out of you guys but the time lapse of you working on the trailer was epic! The noises of the sped up sound just hit me in the old chuckle bone. Thanks guys and be safe! Cheers Terry

[@glennsimmons4199]

Good morning guys from VA . another good shop video glad to see Crash stiil around . Wishing we were getting some of the rain you getting

[@dannyhutcheson9932]

Your videos never disappoint DP and your mechanical abilities are inspiring. On the other hand, i realize that the lifting strap that you used is very strong and sufficient for the job, but i would hope and suggest that you guys would be more "expect the unexpected" minded when working under equipment, an extra layer of safty is not a bad thing and we need you healthy and making videos for a long time. Thanks for sharing and please understand that i reluctantly bring this observation because what you bring to the table matters to many, "we care buddy".

[@jerryc3050]

👍It's raining here so I'm home watching you , MBYS, and Crash work in the morning. 🙂

[@KSCFIRE]

I know it's to late for this time, but to help in removing the axles in the future, lightly coat the splines of the axle with anti-seize. With the water and mud you drive through, it makes it much easier to remove them when needed.

[@bobbypeck1999]

You don't have a clue how much you two make me laugh

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thank

[@gerell89]

Love seeing you and Aaron working together. Can you show a video of the huge pond you did now that it's probably filled with water

[@Crewsy]

Polaris won’t start and won’t steer. That means you don’t need to worry about the brakes then. 😉

[@kennethhinzman2336]

DP your slipping on being the man behind the scenes number one swamper😂

[@terryrogers1025]

You know you’re good at something when you can amaze yourself, now thats good. The ole ranger has been a runner for sure. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

[@kevinmurray7135]

Fun times in the shop and glad the switch showed up finally but nice job on the whole job 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Watching you, Aaron, & Crash play the blame game is quite entertaining! When Gunner is a little older - you can start blaming him! Great video! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim

[@charleswelch249]

Don't worry about yourself. Just let Aaron tighten it. The Ranger has definitely held up well for 20k miles. Have a great weekend Mike and Aaron. You too Crash.

[@Tim-Sziminski]

Aaron is Not MBTS anymore new nickname SHORT SHAFT 😂😂👊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Nice to see Crash in your video Mr Dirt Perfect

[@MySynthDungeon]

Lets go indoors! Coffees on guys! ;-)! Aaron Rocks! ;-)!!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Aaron is the best “comment generator” this channel has ever had 😂 You should use some of those fancy square Milwaukee lights like Clint uses when he’s filming up to his shoulders in the deep, dark recesses of his equipment.

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Good luck fixing your Ranger Mr Dirt Perfect and MBTS

[@Matt_H2O]

If all else fails, just blame farmer Chris 🤣

[@corycourneyea6802]

Shop days are like, "Take your kid to work day." 😂

[@Crewsy]

Based on vertical reach then MBTS=kid.

[@americanpatriot2.06]

I remember when the John Deere Gators came out. The military definitely added those to their fleets. Started with the 4x4 versions and eventually the 6x6 versions. Then the Polaris Rangers came out and that was a huge upgrade from the Gators. They were perfect for using around the shop areas and small jobs. The Gators & Rangers were easy to work on.

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshines! I love watching you two working! Y'all tickle me! Lol! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

[@kennylesher-cs2zu]

You raised it to high now Aron it working above his head. 😆 🤣

We love Crash!

[@rons3103]

Mike, I have the perfect ride-a-long person to go with Crash! What about Officer Hoover? 🤣🤣. Great job on fixing the Polaris, but I think it is time to get a new one. Why not get a bigger with a hitch so that it can pull the field tile trailer. Then you don't have to bring both the 955 and the small Polaris to the job site. Not sure if the current Polaris could pull the trailer. 😁😁

[@koldsteele]

Linnie and Sqiggy at it again ...

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Oh my a "Crash" cameo appearance. Always something exciting going on at the shop!

[@woodpurposedmechanic8299]

Got to love old and familiar machines! I spent a lot of time and money on my 42 year-old Miller 35 recently and it was worth every minute and penny.

[@Denis-tu1pd]

When DP and MBTS get together the work and comedy factor is through the roof . Awesome video .Denis from Santa Rosa Ca.

[@bertrutledge4546]

So I imagine the starter switch was shipped on FedEx. I had an order from Lowes shipped from north of Chicago to Oklahoma, so it went from Chicago to Kansas City, made a left turn at KC and went to New Jersey, then to Dallas and finally to Oklahoma. Wasn't Lowes fault. It arrived after I needed it and ended up taking back to my local Lowes and they refunded my money. Good to see you got the Polaris running.

[@genegustafson1665]

I have a 2013 Polaris Sportsman 400 ho ATV with 27,750 miles on it and I have done all the work on it, new tires and rims and drive belts, clutch CV joints rear only, oil change and filter every month or two, since 2019 paid 2,500 dollars for it with 2,456 miles on it, I do all the work on it as it's my only transportation source so far better than any other type of ATV that I have owned in my 55 years of running the crap out of them, I have owned Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and I would say that Polaris Sportsman ATV and UTVS and snowmobiles are built in America Roseau Minnesota since 1954, I have owned over 6 Polaris ATV'S since 2004 and my first Polaris Sportsman ATV was a 500 4x4 that I put over 45,000 miles on it in 6 yrs, and I never touched the motor, just changed oil and filter and belt replaced new parts new tires and other new parts, Polaris Sportsman ATV and UTVS are the best built and made in America Roseau Minnesota USA

Even just the banter made this video worth the while bro, all round good video too. Safe travels. Ken.

[@charlesroberts6965]

Great job getting the ole ranger back to nearer new condition and some mighty fine wrenching you two. I am always fixing stuff around here since replacing is just to expensive but you showed it could be done with a few tools and a bit of knowledge. Always cool to seeing you guys working in the shop.. prayers that the rain let's up a bit so you can get to the jobs that need to get done. Always a joy to see you guys at work. Thanks again for sharing your day with us.😊🛠️🧰🔧🇺🇲😇☔

[@jimjennings1970]

I've never met crash and I feel sorry for him but I assume nobody put him in the shop at gunpoint

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

Check your white balance settings! A lot of flickering, due to white balance settings! Good stuff!

Definitely two comedians but we love the videos

[@thatdave86]

So a little fact about Aaron ,he is the King of Temu purchasing evidently according to some close sources ,so now we know what he does and what he spends his allowances on !

[@wilfredmicks4768]

wasnt it the one time Farmer Chris was helping you plowing tile driving the Polaris i will blame him 😆😆

[@charlieg424]

Nice work. BTW, when you go to the beach, you drive about 3-4 miles from where that was made. The Polaris factory is just off I-65 and I-565 near Huntsville, AL. You should see if they will let you do a factory tour. I'd love to see that.

[@DirtPerfect]

Interesting thanks

[@busterbailey370]

I love the videos please keep them coming

Should of first measured the inner shafts from rack housing equally. them measured outter shafts from housing. But theres many different different ways to do alignments. GOOD JOB MIKE & AARON. 💪💪💪💪

I can’t believe the safety officers let you work underneath the 4x4 without safety jack stands!

Mouse ran across the floor by the door at 6:42. Noticed when I was looking at your comment generator (toy tire) laying next to the other tire on the floor.

[@pharmmech]

I would keep a close eye on that boot. As much as i do not like to say bad things i believe there is a better than 505 chance that the boot will come off the cv joint. I the boot there is a retaining ring made into it with out that fitting into the groove of the joint it is likely it will slip off. The other thing is how tight the clamp is. Obviously i cannot tell for sure how tight the clamp is , but without the tool I know how hard it is to properly . I have replaced/repaired many cv joints/axles.

[@heatherlane9270]

There is something in the adage 'It's easier to blame someone else than take the responsibility yourself'' - the Dirt Perfect and MBTS motto. Little Polaris has done a great job over the many miles of rough terrain so TLC was well deserved. Who busted the trailer - Oh Crash did :)

[@TonyBaroni]

Mike, KZbin is shortchanging you with the number of subscribers. They have to be, there's no way you've been stuck on this number for what seems like forever without adding any new subscribers. Your content is very entertaining and watchable so I don't know what's wrong. Good stuff as always.

Wire is a hazard to every piece of rotating machinery. Fortunately the old fire ax makes quick work of it as long as things around it don’t melt too fast. Ask anyone who has ever bushhogged into a fence line or onto a spool of barbed wire grown up in the bushes.

[@howiefeltersnatcher]

Need to grab a piece of flat steel drill a couple holes in it for your studs about 2-3 foot long and you’ll get a better measurement out of your steering to set your alignment They sell that alignment tool for $50-$100, but it’s basically the same thing
