We're back! Thank you all so much for the support so far. If you have any questions for Dave, let us know and we'll try to shoot a follow up Q&A.

Thanks guys. Great tips. Keep them coming!

No worries! We're very happy you're finding this content useful. Is there anything you'd like to see?

Tekamo HD yeh, how the mechanics deal with stuck final drive drain and fill plugs on older equipment. Or another one I struggle with is getting the turntable gearbox gear oil at the correct level after a change. The gear oil seems to always “blurble” up and burp a mess of oil out the filler dipstick and is a real pita when filling.

@@chadrides914 You got it, Chad. We've added this to our list of suggestions. Is there a specific model and year of equipment or brand you want us to keep in mind? Also, awesome videos! We noticed your latest video on heavy equipment was you running a 350 X4. How's that been treating you so far?

Tekamo HD I I’ve put all 5,000 some hours on that LB350x4. Was purchased new. Haven’t had a single issue with it other than the track tension idlers seem to get stuck and won’t decompress without putting major force onto the grousers to push them in, and the radio stopped at 4500 hrs. That machine seems to cycle a little slower than some others but has been a real pleasure to run from an operators perspective. We run Kobelco, Linkbelt, Komatsu and have Kubota’s for mini excavators. Far as Dozers go we run new gen Komatsu’s. These seem to have a good bit of DEF problems unfortunately.

@Chad Right on. We work with a lot of Kubotas and Komatsus too. We'll definitely have videos touching on diesel exhaust fluid related problems as well so stay tuned for that!

Great video Tekamo HD! I will be using this video for my Level 4 Attachments Class at the college. it covers all the basics and bucket/ QC safety. Thanks.

[@TekamoHD]

Glad to hear that, William! Let us know what your students think of it and what else would be helpful for us to make for them.
