Extremely Satisfying Pressure Washing 1991 Case Backhoe

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Jessie just some advice. I either put locktite or antiseize on every bolt I take out and put back in.

[@leewhizhulbert9276]

When steam cleaning - never, never use a power washer in areas where there are a lot of wires. I'm aware of a diesel that burnt up after having the wire area power washed, because the pressure of the stream literally cut through the wire insulation.

[@williamwallace176]

A friend of mine was running a FBO at a small airport and a pilot came in to his office wanting help to find a replace mag coil for his airplane. My friend took one look at the old coil and sent the pilot to the International Harvester dealer and got the exact coil intended for a IH truck, it was the same coil as the plane at a third of the price.

Hey Jesse! At 0:23 you 'got me'! I was thinking.....GO FLY!!!!! Also, 30:56 (or so), speaking of "scary"....Just a few more weeks and you will embark on (probably) the scariest ongoing project of your life! Fatherhood & parenting! God bless & be safe! Ken

[@chiefof]

Preventative maintenance on equipment is so important. Good to see you doing these critical tasks and using the right tools and parts. The love between you two comes through loud and clear on this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@DaveSabol]

My biggest takeaway from this: "The more that I learn to try, the more that I try to learn." That's a new favorite quote and it extends beyond the immediate!

[@geoffreykail9129]

Allysa you are amazing, most woman would not even pressure wash the equipment. YOU your pregnant and you lying on the ground steam cleaning the equipment. WONDER WOMAN. Jesse is lucky to have met a lady like you.

[@michaelwassenaar5035]

good work on the Backhoe, only thing is to avoid pressure washing the electrical components, you will get corrosion and other electrical gremlins , get yourself some fluid film rust and corrosion prevention spray for your electrical connections, its great stuff

[@Kim-yt7mr]

Question??? Are y'all going to build a car port? I think it would be a good idea to protect your tools

[@anthonystubblefield4987]

Please understand I have no reason to comment but you have got to get your tools organized!!!!!!!!! As well as I do but man you have a mess with alot of nice quality tools! So let's see a video on tool organization???

[@jamesschilling4659]

Great video, awesome to have a life partner who's working side by side with u! That's the magic of ur vlog. Keep'em coming!👍😀😄🇺🇸

[@davidkirkman2223]

Guys my dad put a 12" clay pot of chives outside by the step and that was 30 years ago and it keeps coming up strong every year. By the way we're from eastern Ontario Canada

[@gabevieira8732]

As one who spent years working on that model of backkhoe the biggest hydraulic leaks happen under the back deck where all the lines go to the boom. Also a good set of 30/60 wrenches are you're best friend.

[@grannieannie1371]

You're so right about learning to take care of your equipment. At Christmas my car broke down and I had no clue and no money. So I googled and found what it was likely to be. Then I found how to fix it on KZbin and I did it and it works. I've decided to learn how to sevice it next rather than pay the mechanic. Feeling kinda proud.

[@zukgod]

I really enjoy how you two work together, my wife and I do the same thing and it's wonderful at times, and also very trying at times. But all in all I think it makes you have a stronger relationship with one another, because we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Great video, and it's always great to see a new one pop up.

[@jamesskyrm866]

I love all of your vids!!!!!!! I am only 13 but I have a dream to be a homesteader just like you guys!!!!!!!!

[@Ozgood13]

Equipment maintenance is always a chore, but needed at least twice a year in Spring and Fall. Keep the vids coming and be safe.

[@ryanfriedrich7202]

So awesome to see someone taking care of there equipment like i do very therapeutic i agree keep on ty

[@LBGUKRWP]

Did you buy the forklift and the mini? What video was that must have missed it I was going to ask why they sat there all winter 😂

[@sethagreen]

I freaking love you two! I'll always comment, rate (thumbs up), and subscribe!! Who TF would ever thumbs down your content!!???? We all love Jessie and Alyssa!!

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Want to see the final sidings on the walls, outside and in.

[@Maartentje]

Cleaning greasy equipment above your drinking water?

[@kikcer2]

As someone who is some what mechanically minded, I have to say you are doing a good job. There were certainly moments when i was wondering why you were doing it the hard way, but you got it done and that is the important part. I think a lot of mechanical adept individuals grew up taking things apart and learning how they work. Due to this fact we have more "working" time under our belts around the in and out of things and start to notice similarities across devices. this will come in time, and once you notice those interconnecting designs it becomes easier and more noticeable. Your working on it and that is great. Like you said, start small and grow from there.

[@jun1977i]

Can't wait for the building season to start, I really want to see the house finish it will be so cool.

[@mountainman7997]

If you don’t have a magnetic bowl for all those nuts and bolts you’re removing to do the work you’d be amazed at how useful they are.

[@jamestate7851]

I hope Jessie loves his wife as much as he does his Backhoe.

[@ppulambe8311]

All the queen bees are spreading the buzz... Beautiful clean home space for building nests in nice yellow neighborhood!

[@gruntqueen]

I very much admire your equipment maintenance efforts, as well as your partnership.

[@bluebird5100]

What is all this equipment? Are you going to continue to build houses for a living? Mini ex and a backhoe, a telehandler. When will the skid steer arrive?

[@harolddomangue9206]

as for the square nut problem tape the nut to a line of tape or if a wire will work then slide it down till it will thread in (old trick of the trade)

[@IsYitzach]

I was wondering why you weren't working during the winter seeing as how you're dried in now. Who cares what the outside is, there is much to do inside. Answer: planning for the coming season. May your plans go well.

[@insidekateskitchen]

These videos remind me why I do no own large equipment. Thanks Guys.

[@you166mhz]

you need a three wall shed for your machines including your car and truck -- to keep out the rain and snow -- aka - bad weather conditions ... make it simple yet reliable ... good luck ... BTW -- I enjoy your channel ... :)

[@randyhobbs67]

I just love looking into the sun it's very therapeutic, ha ha ha !

[@linnsoltwedel]

I am so exited for the baby! I bet the baby will be a big part of doing the house! He or she might even build their own room? :D

[@beetroot5989]

Never do this above you're drinking water!

[@beachlife1411]

Good job !!!

[@edgarkeck3010]

Jesse, The more you work on your equipment the more you'll learn about all things mechanical. Get a shop manual for whatever you are working on and take a swing at it. More often than not you'll succeed. If you never fail, you've never tried! Good luck and God bless the both of you.

[@georgegutzmer5360]

Well looks like Y'all are having some spring. Here we are still dealing with unseasonable wet for the second driest state in the union had just over 9 FT of snow at our property mostly melted now but mud up to your kester God Bless Y'all and keep having fun. Love the information you share

[@stan.rarick8556]

If you think that you're busy now, just wait 'til the kid comes!!!

[@robertm1552]

Yes. Keeping asking and finding next step. No fear. Good job guys.

[@larryfromlincolncountywa3989]

Pass that philosophy on to the next generation and, literally, you'll be paying it forward. My Dad did and I've tried to share his teachings with my children and other young people. And, like you, I still learn something new each time I put myself out there.

[@wtorres562]

Just the great effort that you guys put on keeping all tools and equipment working the proper way say how good you're doing even do you didn't have any prior experience. Keep the good work. Congratulations.

[@memphismadetez]

Once again 😅😅😇😇 great video

[@brianpeck3120]

You are a wonderful couple!

[@michellebryte5916]

You may want to look into getting low tunnels for your garden. they will extend both your spring and fall growing season!

[@leegarner4111]

Every one should try and keep their equipment in good working order and clean.I always try.I had bought a weedeater a few years ago,the whole bottom shaft tore up,I was able to find a web site that sold replacement parts for it,and now it works better then when I bought it.I was able to fix some equipment that I might have other wise had to buy again,so yeah Im proud of myself,and you all ,what you did that's awesome.One thing I have noticed in the video,you all have a lot of mullein growing on your property.

[@trentboone2654]

First of all congratulations on the baby must be getting close

[@johnday7362]

Suggestion: Greasy equipment cleaning addon... Simple Green Degreaser is a very good biodegradable degreaser. Spray Simple Green on equipment before pressure washing it. Very dirty or greasy areas use at full strength and let soak overnight before pressure washing. Also, read Simple Green instructions first, but I believe that you'll have to use cold water to pressure wash with Simple Green. Great video, preparation is a must for good results.

[@pablotrobo]

What about working on the house? Some siding perhaps?

[@annamaybeekman5152]

Good job you two

[@josepheaton5881]

Really in joy your videos.

[@sirthicenskoorb3684]

Yep, suns out, no excuses. Mom is looking about due. Looking forward to planting time. You guys are amazing.

[@Kim-yt7mr]

How many times do you oil a year???

[@badcat4707]

It looks like you guys are going to have to build a Timber Frame Garage to house all your machinery ? ;-)

[@cdouglas1942]

Something about pressure washing electricals makes me nervous

[@benjaminkline4855]

Keep it under 120 if you want your paint to last.

[@robertcooke1266]

When are you going to put cladding on the building to protect it from the weather? I don't think OSB is very waterproof, is it?

[@omaopa6923]

Honestly I think you both are a HUGE STEP UP 👏👍😘🇦🇺

[@greglewellen4510]

Hydraulic leaks are normally in the frame channel it was a every early K model case. Very hard to repair without major tear apart

[@tculture3670]

Your doing a great job!, keep it up it's inspiring.

[@timon0x31]

Get some dielectric grease and use a little on your fuses and connections that get wet. It keeps exposed connections from corroding. Cheap insurance.

[@williamdegnan4718]

No excuses??? CAVU!!! Let's go flying!🛩️

[@rebekahwells3737]

When is the baby due? I can just see you all wrapped up with him while you garden. Lol

[@joemccallum710]

lol you gave a backhoe a reach around!

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

You guys are gonna have the cutest and funniest baby on KZbin! Alyssa is dang near a super model and you are so much fun and so intelligent. Can't wait to see that little one working with mama and daddy on the homestead! Every time I watch other people's shows...like Justin Rhodes or Big Family Homestead I am impressed with their children's behavior and level of knowledge on the farm. Its just wonderful to see young.ones doing what our forefathers did to sustain themselves. In learning those things they'll never truly be in want of need. Love the show you guys and congrats again on the baby

[@fredericrike5974]

The Case backhoe was a great choice to begin with, as you noted and the reasons you gave. As well as a plumber, I'm a union plumber or was till the union objected to my objection to being stolen from- but it gave me a bit of a "buy American" attitude; then one day I got to use a Kubota 40 hp tractor and box blade- the whole tractor is hydraulically driven- the wheels, the blade the rear accessories drive- I hated saying it, but this was the easiest thing I ever saw (as a tractor) to operate! Another operator managed to whack a fitting on one of the bucket lift cylinders; we called Kubota (in Dallas there are 3 within easy driving distance), they had the parts, and the manual we needed for the machine. Unless they have changed for the stupid side since I retired, I found it one of the easier pieces to work on. But then again, as a motor obsessed teen, I had a couple of Hondas; the translated Japanese produced manuals were hilarious, but often not very helpful! I heard you have misgivings about Craig's List, but it might be the place to go look for an enclosure for your backhoe - I know Case made one, and also AC- we had one of those in the '80s-'90s!. Also, the next time you gin up the saw mill, think about a machinery shed- it will save you a ton of work and grief in the winter/rainy weather!

[@billk.7889]

Hmmm....fixes switch that was working intermittently due to water infiltration, then shoots high pressure water behind the dash. Anyone else find that ironic?

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looking good around there. Thanks for sharing the good advice.

[@stgray35]

It’s good to see someone actually take care of their back hoe, let alone wash it regularly, I grew up around the construction industry, so I know how important it is. Nice work guys, and Alyssa’s bump is getting big now 😉👍

[@mikeeybass]

Every year my wife powerwashes our deck and has the same felling its therapeutic. She loves to do it. I have to beg to get in on the action :)

[@doneill536]

Are you going to finish the outside cladding on the house anytime soon?

[@weedygarden]

Can you put hoops and plastic over an early garden, sort of like a greenhouse?

[@mathbrown9099]

Jesse, I have a helpful hint (something I never do about your lives, in most aspects). Please be aware of where the sun is when you’re doing a video. Too often, its right behind your head. I’m betting you know this, and it’s too late to re-do when all the work is completed. Love you guys!

[@scottsmith4111]

Hey Jessie hey Alyssa great video you 2 did a great job there so thank you very much for the video and I hope you and your family had a blessed Easter

[@bhavens9149]

aliums (onions garlic, chives, etc) do just fine with overwintering, also russian Kale does pretty good with even hard winter, you can probably also plant some potatoes and in a couple weeks you can probably start some other root veggies, :) though ask a neighbor or two on that.

[@Greengate777]

That slope behind the house and garden... all your stuff is at the bottom of a sort of amphitheater, on the flat bit. That means that all the water that rains on the hill, is funneled towards you, and while flowing, it washes down the little soil that clings to the slope. I see you got tons of rocks... Would it be an idea to arrange lines of loose rocks on the contours of the hill, so that water slows down and not eroding the hill?

[@johnbonner922]

I love it when a plan comes together! :o) Blessings friends

[@Bill-cg6oh]

you never did a video on buying the extended fork truck, or mini excavator. I know if your renting you dont let equipment sit and not use, so we know you bought them! Do construction video's like inside framing and drywall! Keep up the video's

[@jccook253able]

You guys are doing awesome 👏 I’m a mechanic and I still learn most weeks

[@peterofoz]

Did you end up buying the tele handler?

[@lorisanford8515]

I don't know how the rest of the videos going to go but I just had to say how cute you are pregnant girl... You got the cutest round belly I've ever seen I'm so happy for you guys 😊👶🐣❤

[@ZygoticGoose]

An amazing view to wake up to, God has richly blessed you guys, amen!!!!

[@jackoostman1319]

WTG JESSIE & ALLISSA , preventative maintenance is allways a plus. Jessie get some Case yellow paint, the hydraulics can also be rebuilt if necessary.

[@MrDMeans]

Central Valley California already getting the garden planted!!!

[@docmopar1183]

Not gonna lie after I saw you guys check out that transfer pump I bought it to empty fuel tanks at work, it is way better than using the hand pump that the shop owns

[@judithchilcoat5852]

Lookin good! Are you going to weld shut all the little spaces around the windows?

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Nice to see u looking after the baco washed greased and replacement on broken part's ready for a weeks of work

[@GaryPArmstrong]

A quality video on the preparation of your machinery and also Jesse advice on trying something new.

[@MelbGurl3162]

You 2 both make things look so easy, yet i know they are not. Keep smiling Keep happy and ty for some great videos to watch. P.s I kinda keep checking hourly or so to see if you uploaded another video, Am I addicted to your Video's? I wonder lol

[@seldoon_nemar]

you should add some UV dye to your hyd tank. next time you pressure wash it, wait until dusk and look around with a blacklight. it'll glow like a headshop poster, but only from the leak. might not be a bad idea to run all the pistons in and out once before looking just to make sure it's fresh leak after the wash

[@insanetuff]

That backhoe was made in my hometown. We are known for being the backhoe capital of the world..... And yes everything about a Case is expensive.

[@greg778123]

Bugaboo 2 am joke was pretty funny

[@vaughanellis7866]

Steam cleaning is one of those jobs - when you start you don't want to quit, you start looking for more things to clean. You say you do not have mechanical skills, you are learning the same way any apprentice does, fault trace, find the problem, fix it, you'll surprise yourself what you'll pick up.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Blue Loctite is your friend on this kind of equipment! Cheers from Tokyo!

[@kenknutson1598]

Putting sawdust on top of your beds might be ok, but digging it in could bind up your nitrogen. Leaf twig and branch tree trimmer chips as deep bedding would be better. Your master gardener course probably noted this. Best of luck on your garden. Wish I could come play.

[@Kim-yt7mr]

HAPPY GARDENING SEASON!!!

[@lonegunman-ps2bk]

Do you guys own the mini excavator

[@MsCaterific]

ahhhhhh watching some clean stuff n things is oddly entertaining and satisfying. As for gardening early, this is when having small hoop houses comes in handy. Your willingness to share with us you "stepping up, and stepping out of your comfort zone" amid so many critics and naysayers is inspirational. Thx for that.

[@catherinehatt3848]

Now you are moved into the house. Are you going to sell the trailer, or maybe keep it for family/friends to use when visiting?
