Excavator Final Drive Removal On A Hitachi 150 Excavator

Join the TekamoHD Network: www.tekamohd.com/join-the-tek...
Heavy duty mechanic Cam gets down and dirty underneath a Hitachi 150 excavator. The final drive was leaking so that’s gotta go. But before we can do that, there’s the delightful task of chipping off all the dirt and scunge to be able to even access the damn thing. After that we’ve got to get the lines disconnected and then we can prepare for the excavator final drive removal.

Senior mechanics like this, that are constantly joking and making light of things, make learning a new trade for a young guy so much more enjoyable and memorable. Gotta love work when its comical

[@farming_in_maine3435]

Absolutely! If you can’t have fun and laugh at work, you’ll never enjoy it!

[@georgen.8027]

The jokes are what make this good... people like "being there" vs. watching a class

[@TekamoHD]

Haha glad you liked the jokes. We'll continue to keep them in if y'all like them.

thats one hell of a username bro lol

[@fztfabs65]

You seem like hood shot to work with man, sense of humour and giving your time of the day to teach the young guy. That’s what it’s all about. You remind me of my journeyman welder right now, the exact same. It’s awesome, and makes it fun to work with you guys.

Glad you liked the video. Let us know when you get a chance to use it and how it goes.

[@salo1808]

Truth be told, I had a jack stand fly out the back of my service truck 😅😅 I looked in the mirror and see this poor Ford Focus run into it. The girl and the guy must of not had a license or something cuz they decided “it’s ok” and drove away 😅 until this day I haven’t told my boss 🤣

[@BluTechEquipment]

26:57... You guys have a way of bringing out the professional in me.

[@kimbleyoungblood393]

I want to know about that extension bar he uses on the wrenches that’s a genius idea, it’s like using a knuckle buster but you can put it on the opposite end and still have an open end

[@TekamoHD]

Hey we'll make a video on that tool specifically if that's something you guys want to see in more detail.

Yeah please do, I was watching on my tv and pulled out my phone to ask this very question.

Unconventional as fuck lol keep it up guys!

Fun vid! What is the tool called that you used at 15:39 to get more leverage on the two wrenches?

[@TekamoHD]

Hey man, it's a wrench extender from Mueller-Kueps. amzn.to/3ICYc9J Any unique tools we use in these episodes get linked in the description! Thanks for watching.

[@terrywesley5724]

And also the rubber plugs I got to get me some great idea

[@TekamoHD]

Get some for sure

[@pipesmiles2991]

Hey on those big fitting an air hammer with a blunt tip works great because it rattles all the rust out and then it won’t twist the line

[@1waukesha]

I wonder if a needle scaler would have worked good to clean all that dirt away? Or at least blast it with air pressure.

Get water sprayer tank on truck to clean Fdrive?

[@billcovert3473]

air hammer and chisel bit makes quick work of loosing packed on hard dirt.

[@BluTechEquipment]

Works great until you blast off a -4 fitting with it haha. Often times I find air works great for blasting out dirt, and better than a pressure washer as no mud or waiting for it to dry.

Hahahaha my aprentice can relay to this hehehehe

[@Mtbslacker]

How does Hitachi do their two speed if the 4th hose is for the brake? Maybe they do a trick with the main flow lines.

[@BluTechEquipment]

There are 3 hoses, 2 directional, one for case drain. I'd have to look how 2 speed is controlled on the schematic and get back to you. I may be wrong, it happens.

[@francoishamman2649]

@@BluTechEquipment i am sure the small line is for high speed and case drain normally at highest point, park brake is internal via main line, delay with orifice and brake is on counter balance spool
