Fixing A Massive Hydraulic Oil Leak on a John Deere 200D LC Excavator

Cam and his trusty side-kick/apprentice respond to an urgent machine breakdown in Sunshine Valley to fix a John Deere 200D LC excavator with a hydraulic oil leak. With a bit of elbow grease and a lot of swearing, they race against the daylight to get the cylinder reseal job done in time to use the hydraulic excavator to help them with their next repair.

he seems like a cool boss/teacher. The ones at my work just cuss me out for not reading his mind.

[@slapsides4788]

this dude is a super good boss hes literally teaching you everything including how to do the job to even how to act on the job. mad props

[@alfieh913]

Hey I'm a mobile plant-fitter (mobile heavy duty mechanic) in the U.K, its so interesting seeing how you guys do it in Canada, I'm so jelly of your service trucks, over here most guys run 3.5 tonne vans nothing like what you guys get over there, so we are very limited on equipment for jobs due to the weight we can carry, if you go above 3.5t you have to by law install a tachograph so its more of a ball ache :( but love the video I could watch Cam and Carson for hours, was laughing so hard at that untimely toilet break lol really good content loving the banter and camaraderie, its very similar to the guys I work with :) 10/10

[@KamloopsFilms]

Just starting my 1st year heavy duty love watching the videos with Cam and Carson

[@TekamoHD]

How's the 1st year going? You like it?

Been busy in the fields and have been catching back up on these videos and ive gotta say the editing and pure comedy gold is at a all time high 😂 you guys together make for some stellar content. Keep it up 👍

Hey it's awesome to see you in the comments again. Hope you've been well. Thank you very much! We're glad you like the content.

[@brandonkelley3953]

Found the page recently, . I run equipment in San Diego, doing big grading. Always give my wrench guys major props, we'd be screwed without you guys. Love the vids, and for the people who think hes being a dick to the apprentice, clearly do NOT work in construction or heavy equipment because this dude is clearly a hell of a mentor to the guy. Keep up the long vids!

[@ed0c]

love how you set your tools down stream from the oil waterfall and then ask why they so slimed

[@colecampbell8435]

Awesome vid!! Cams the man love razzing the boys at work! gotta keep these apprentices on their toes and wanting more!

This awesome guys. The PM service work videos are great but these unexpected type repairs are the shit!

More to come man!

It's like watching the trailer park boy's and hear Ricky talking.

Cam is like my favorite guy to watch on KZbin now. I don’t know how more don’t watch this.

Spread the word! If you're in some groups, share our videos. We appreciate you watching and the kind words, Jon.

[@akinyemiayomide9829]

Your videos are awesome. I'll love to be one of your apprentice to gain more in field works, when I'm done with my undergraduate studies.

[@salo1808]

I’ve used compressed air on a cylinder I couldn’t pull apart. What I did tho, I tied up the cylinder. Then I put a regulator at the end of the air hose and started with 5 psi, and slowly increase the pressure to push the cylinder. Worked good for me

[@BluTechEquipment]

That's the right way to do it. I try keeping my explanations simple and hopefully good mechanics can figure out the safe way to do it by learning from what didn't work. In a shop or if the cylinder is held on a bench it's definitely quicker to use shop air with a regulator, just secure the rod so she doesn't turn into a cannon.

[@KhusheKenworth]

Using compressor air to get the rod is sure way to get injured lol.

I like how you do work and you bring joy to work with your partner

To release hydraulic pressure, flip the little switch below the seat. Crank the machine with the implement lockout lever down. Now that you have pilot pressure while cranking, Run the controls

[@FlatThunder]

Great video! I laughed on multiple occasions and it made my work day more enjoyable. Nicely done! 👍😁

Glad you enjoyed it! We’re working on a lot of new Service Call episodes for 2023!

Good job guys

[@TekamoHD]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Part 2 very soon.

[@1waukesha]

One time as an apprenti, I had a lift cylinder off A D8R, we had it vertical pulling the rod out with a chain fall. Then my J-man’s wife comes to talk to him, so there standing to the side and Im blindly yarding the chain lifting out this rod. Welp, the fitting was pointed in their direction and when the piston got to the top, it blasted all the all all over both of them…….whoops. Lol.

[@TekamoHD]

LOL what happened after?

[@opuntina]

Ah, Red Green. You make me miss my service truck.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Wow, great job with your helper 👍👍👍👍

thanks for watching!

Milwaukee trigger failures every time when you need them to work the most; Good work Field Daddy.

Nice to see ya around again Chad. Hope you're doing well man.

What is in cams ear, are they custom ear plugs or ear buds ?

Hello from Texas Just found your channel yesterday and am starting to love the humor and work. But what made you wanna do what you do and work 15 to 20hr days ??? Should do a Q & A video.

Thank you boys great viewing

Thanks for watching man!

That Milwaukee sounds like it is all out of beans

[@TekamoHD]

Yeup… 💩

[@0dbm]

Carson is gonna be the star

[@Graveltrucking]

Go to Makita impacts and never look back I have both high and mid torque I'm happy with them so far I don't use them everyday mind you. I bet you will have todo a rebuild on that cylinder the seals on the piston have been disturbed.

[@BluTechEquipment]

When time permits we will probably reseal it fully, but this was a cheap option to buy us time. Realistically those seals are disturbed everytime that cylinder cycles anyways but I get what you're saying, things never go back the same way after being run for so long.

[@paulc7036]

what brand are your ear protection brother? looking at getting some. I work in the same field. love the content!

[@matthewcastle6272]

Good ole red green

[@ozzmann3217]

Can you do a whole video on hack for making seals radial seals etc , backing rings, o rings etc that aren’t trashed but not in perfect shape kind of little tricks you can pull to help save the job for the short term … I’m also HD field tech never had apprenticeship here and only been at is a few years so far.. would love to get knowledge from you all or anyone else who has ideas and tips

[@Lucky13Twice]

Do you heat the O-rings to make them shrink?

[@oby-1607]

You didn't take the nut off and reseal the inside of the cylinder head or gland. There are packings and o-rings in there that are critical for a proper seal for the hydraulics. What you showed was half of the job. The easy half.

[@locksmithjeepguy]

i just had an apprentice working with me. i feel you on the do we really need to make 5 trips for 2 tools

[@KhusheKenworth]

why did the senior mechanic not deenergized the cylinder lines of pressure. that was a close one

[@samuelw.3992]

Someone else asked in the comments why he didn’t change the gland seals.. I’m kinda wondering to on why. I have a cylinder pulled out of a e85 bobcat that’s just like this one and someone please explain on why bro skipped that part

[@colecampbell8435]

Ps: spit is no joke I always use the heavy loogies on my rod and main bearing rolls!😂

[@gulfammuhammad0]

Really OWESOME

[@craigfuchs657]

Jesus just stumbled across this channel and it's pure gold. Freaking hilarious. I'm sure you don't like taking advice from some keyboard knob. But I usually slide the gland back in after draining then put two bolts back in and slide the rod all the way upto the gland then take the two bolts out and pull the rod out. Hashtag just saying...haha I'm pretty sure you don't need advice on how to do your job though. Awesome content.

[@jondoherty3884]

Great video thanks boys I'd be there like shot to help When the repair on mini on

Thanks Jon. Keep letting us know what you want to see.

Definetly no seat belt 😎

[@jimstyron1090]

My hand hits the 1,2,3,4 mode on my Milwaukee. It’s super annoying, but that might be the issue? But idk maybe not 😆🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mikeylarsen1267]

Lol I've also experienced air hooked up to a fairly large cylinder with 3 inch thick rod. My stepdad put air to it while I held the rod end and he held the cylinder. Both flew opposite of each other with enough force to launch the rod with me holding on a good 5 plus feet. Never gonna do that again...

Disassembled one today, unfortunately they made a change to the partsnumbers so weren't able to reassemble.

your impact is lagging because you have it on 4th setting which is actually a lug nut setting to not drive them on or off to hard keep your impact on 3rd setting you will get full strength

No. Mine had the same issue out the box. Sent it to warranty. They have a trigger issue right now.
