lots left on the punch list but it's time the 120 is done and leaving the shop

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great camera job Macy

[@lordpickle8424]

She's a beaut. The 120 is the machine I learned to run an excavator on too. Took a heavy equipment course with 7 other guys (and 5 other machines) and those memories will last the rest of my life. Almost shed a tear watching it leave the shop too, lol.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job guys

[@CaptainKleeman]

This is awesome and something to be proud of. And for the record, despite what some are saying on here, I’ve never seen a door, a seat, or gallons of paint move dirt or pay the bills. Excited to get back in this girl and move some material.

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Captain Kleeman hey now what about that recliner you always talk about at work... I think that makes you money doesn’t it?

[@CaptainKleeman]

JasonWorksAlot valid point 😂

[@DirtPerfect]

lol

[@everestyeti]

I think we all have one piece of kit that is our favourite, from your John Deere 120, to something simple like a vice that belonged to a great uncle, I have just spent 3 days bringing back to life. He use it in his workshop now I can use it in mine. Like you say Aaron is a good guy who knows his stuff. Nice to see you were encouraging child labour, Gunner with the broom and his sister with the camera.

[@tangowhisky14]

Huge thanks guys for a brilliant video. Epic drumroll not cheesy at all.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Jim

[@casycasy5199]

Good to see the 120 back at it! Nice work

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@tomwold5366]

Awesome job keeping the old school machine in top shape... Great catch on the oil leak..!!! It pays to keep maintenance up on it because it makes money when it works and cost money when it breaks down in the middle of a job and it never fails it's at the worst time....

[@johnlothridge5899]

I always get a laugh and a smile when I watch your videos. I have enjoyed watching you fix the old girl up and hear that motor purr like it does. No clanking when you move all the parts which is very impressive. Great job guys! Can't wait to see her in action.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@richardhedrick5601]

120 looks great u should be proud of yourself by doing the work on the machine you saved a lot of money

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@chefbobbysponge3833]

Your kids are very helpful! Good to see a next gen. getting involved.

[@silentepsilon888]

[@tomwainwright7102]

I`ve said it before ,I`ll say again , good watch.I used to work in a shop, there`s no more satisfying feeling than seeing a long,painstaking project leave the workshop 110% better than when it went in, and that one did.

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree

[@markkenes4848]

Finally !!!!! Great to see the old girl out and she has a lot more in her that's for sure. You need another one of those lights on the back !! Be like daylight all around you at night.

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@raymondsyphers4239]

Great job mike and all involved with making the 120 great again. Some things you just don’t get rid of. Ray from Oregon

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks ray

[@morgansword]

I am very happy to see it back in the field doing what it is supposed to do.... Now clean up the shop cause its only days till something else cries its my turn in the "Infirmary" and of course just when your a happy ahead, its back to bologna sandwiches cause the parts bills just never stop. Pick a color that you like for a company color and paint all the equipment the same or do a mural that points out the business and how to catch you on which phone. I could live in that shop... mechanics always spend most of the time in the field getting stuff out of trouble so shop time means a lot and great times between you and Aron

[@geraldheitman7687]

you certainly had a great experienced team working on the 140 !!

[@brucehuff5566]

Great job. It looks good now go get it dirty. Stay safe.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@curtisricks9043]

Good one Mike, love your variety in the videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@williammatthews2948]

I've been looking forward to this day almost as much as the kids. Lol. Seriously though, I'm happy the 120 is done, and I can't wait to see it get muddy. Y'all have a blessed and safe weekend. Stay healthy.

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks buddy

[@bonniedobkin6948]

Thanks for the GREAT SERIES . Being meticulous with the oil leak ..... it really paid off in dividends to find you avoided CATASTROPHIC EVENTS in the timing cover, 🧨💰🔧🎥📽

You should be proud 👏 I would be. Congrats

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@butchbailey965]

Nice wrap up and acknowledgement of Man Behind The Scene And Steve. Is it even possible to re and re injector pump without removing counter weights? This job would be very difficult without Your shop and in the field. I think I’ve answered my own question. Even pressure washing is impossible. Let me guess the machine is 10 years old and you have never had to touch injector pump. Let me guess at the numbers. New machine is more than 200 thousand PLUS. Value of wore out machine before you started rehab 25 thousand. Cost of all parts 20 thousand. Value of machine now 100 thousand plus for machine that will last another 10 years. That leaves You 55 thousand to pay for some labour, Your time and Your shop USE on rainy days. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BUILD. YOU ALSO PUT ANOTHER 100 THOUSAND IN YOUR POCKET BY NOT PAYING FOR NEW MACHINE.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks butch

[@gerardbducoudray1354]

Mike, if you epoxy a small magnet on the oil plug, it will tell you the volume of 'metal' between oil change... JD weld works well! Clean plug and magnet with ether... G

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

7 months! That's like giving birth. :) Glad to see the 120 is back up and running.

[@johnwagoner2279]

DP, had a construction friend die crawling under a piece of hydrolic equipment without bracing. Seeing you under the skid loader forks set my teeth on edge. Stay safe!

[@peterbishop1933]

Very good job but just as I was typing this i was going to say it's a pity the seat wasn't recovered 😕. Looking good and a lot of effort from all who helped 👍 best of luck with it

[@KG-yn9qi]

The shop gave birth! Funny how a wood building conceived a metal machine! Mystery of the world. Did you have to stitch it up after?

[@barryhansen6854]

I see Macy was wearing the right t-shirt at the start with the title Mini Boss written on it. Great series Mike and thanks to all the worker that made this happen.

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks Barry and appreciate all the comments

Ohh... that was great!! Thank you for letting us be a part of the makeover! Just one item left, would you put a little oil on the door?🤨

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks jim

[@mikedobson2988]

Nice work guys, I think Man behind the Scene should gets some seat time for all his hard work. Thanks for all your videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching

[@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931]

I agree with that👍🏻

[@goodboyringo9716]

You guys are pretty good at finding new parts . I've watched many video of the 120 being fixed and I must say it did need some work but you've did a great job on her.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks 👍

[@davewebb5737]

The only bit you have missed it putting a bit of paint on the counter weight Good job on the machine I am pleased for you 😜

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@normfergus8472]

Great series of really interesting videos just shows what's possible with a group of talented people willing to give it a go. Love to know what it cost and also what it would have cost for a dealer to have done the work!!

[@DirtPerfect]

I am sure double what I got in it

[@michaelkoop6731]

That's the way, when ur gut tells u that u should do something u should do it saved u 20,000 on rebuilding the motor. Great videos have watched all of them, laughing with u and at u. Ur both great thanks Mike for doing ur videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching and the comments buddy

[@bump6469]

She looks awesome glad to see u have had her back u a good guy and deserve all good fortune that comes ur way awesome work buddy.

Thanks

[@oldskoolgooner]

Loved this ! Thank you for sharing

[@jamesw95]

Great job by all, you did scare me near the end though. I thought you were going to send it back to work with that yard of dirt still in the cab. Gonna take you awhile to get used to running it without all that slop in the boom though. Enjoyed the Series!

[@davesilvia9711]

glad to see the 120 going again, no need to paint, patina finish is just fine.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@alexosborne5629]

Wahey, cracking job there Mike!!! You are right to thank the hard work of Aaron, Jason and Todd too, without them I think it would take you a lot longer as you would only have very limited time to work on her. You are right not to splash out on paint as she is an oldie, maybe if she earns her keep in a couple of years or so, then it may be worth looking into. In time, Macy and Gunner may learn to operate this too !!!

[@NathanCEnyart]

I loved the cheesy drum roll. You guys make excellent videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

I hate that pump were the fuel filters go on John Deers. aggravates me every time on our 5205, Glad you caught those lose bolts. Glad to she's back in the game.
