Hauling Millings To Help With Farm Projects- Truck Left Me Broke Down

[@maddog2771]

Duffy , I had belt trouble myself some years ago , they would twist and roll over and run off the pully, I even had a belt run off and rap it's self around the Around the harmonic balancer and take out the crank seal. , I changed out the water pump twice and the Alternator 3 times, and it would keep doing it , Finally, this old retired truck driver told me what the problem was , after he looked at my truck , he told me I was running the belts Too tight , I'm running them with a 1/4 inch of slack now and I got 5 years out of one set of belts now and I haven't had any trouble with it since , now I'm not saying this is what your problem is , and I'm not telling you what to do , but I'm just throwing this out there .

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

Even with the trouble, it was a good day. You will love the millings for your pad and the driveway. The Mack helped make it happen. It’s good ole Bulldog !!

[@gerrylee4907]

i love this guy, the thing that impresses me most about him is his ability to stay calm and carry on, and that is a blessed asset to have no matter what industry youre in.

[@MattyMurtagh]

Farm is taking shape. You have achieved a lot in the past 18 months. Well done

[@johnsandell4501]

Millings for hats/shirts is outstanding. Friends helping out friends is priceless. Rain and wrenching episode upcoming 👍👍👍

[@johnwooten8811]

Great episode, old trucks, old tractors,broke belts, makes for good content. Fix that old Mack , us old time truckers love watching ya come thru in the clutch. For yous commenting on his equipment saying he should buy new, well I’ve had it all, and this new stuff is f--ing junk, in n out of the shop constantly, so Duffy you keep on fixing and moving forward and plugging along with that ole bulldog, we love it

[@kennethrunyan3168]

Looking good, take advantage of those millings while you can.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

That was great Chris thank you for sharing and your time and the pully or pump wont no till off

[@rwamchubb7977]

Looks fantastic, but you need to let it settle on its own. You don't want to end up with something sinking. I know my tractor sank after filling a hole with rubble😢

[@Farmall450]

That road they're taking out looks better than the average on in IL :D

[@jimkavalier2831]

Driveway looks outstanding!

[@baldydbt1443]

Keep building your pad bigger n better mate it's coming along nicely so is the driveway everything coming together nicely great work mate cheers

[@johnt7232]

Its hard to imagine that the muck you are leveling off will make a firm base for the roadway , really needs something more substantial like coarse gravel from a quarry

[@TheEasystart]

I know how you feel brother! I too do everything on my own and occasionally have to ask for help too, which isn't a problem but I work alone too.

[@robertwaid2965]

I'm glad ya gotter home

[@davidbarnes706]

I admire your dedication and hard work enjoy your videos

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Enjoyed your video hope your pully ideas correct the belt issues. Have a great day.

[@mikeroma5748]

You did a great job with that dump trailer and that good old Mac

[@glenvanbavel8710]

We had a IH truck flip belts like your Mack . Changed the crank shaft pulley and solved the problem. I would try that

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@generalgus]

Wow, great view. If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think you’re in the Great Smokie Mountains.

[@donaldmorphis6729]

Definitely have an issue. I worked on many R models in the late 70s and early 80s and never had issues with belts like you have.

[@paulshamonis6362]

Just an idea when in the shop before draining the cooling system remove the belts start the Mack and give the harmonic balance balancer a look to check if it’s running true also the belt tension comment has worthy advise.

[@ronanwalsh7024]

We had a scania V8 in a generator that was chewing up belts by the dozen, there didn't seem to be anything out of line but we eventually discovered that there was a difference between the depth in the center flange of the alternator pulley which in effect caused the middle belt to be taking up more of the drive than the other two causing it wear quickly and snap, it usual took out the other two when it broke.

[@kalebrivers5260]

Look at Aaron bragging about his good running vehicle 😂😂😂 atleast you have good friends to help ya when your down

[@georgesprangers2395]

18 days is plenty. We slapped a ISX together in 5 days along with scatter sheilds and a few odds and ends to make it to Onaway for the big rig challenge 2 years ago. Hasnt been pulled apart since

[@rusttrail3]

Another great video, old trucks are the best the new ones suck. I never had an automatic slack adjuster that actually worked right, adjusted my own brakes so I knew they were right. 😎✌

[@DavidRhind-x6i]

if you want to soften up the reclaim use a tiger torch on it while its loose and then roll er out while shes hawt. mis some diesel onto er

[@mattbelanger1978]

Love watching you make your dreams but on the Mack harbor freight mag base and a dialidacator you can check the run out on the pulley and the shaft to see what the problem is and they are handy to have in your tool box

[@kapekodbob]

Great day DUF !

[@kaydog2008]

Ya you’re definitely gonna need a skid steer or an articulating front end loader to spread that around. A definite opportunity to make the driveway and front of the shop up with it better.

[@billkroczyk3749]

I tell you you will love millings pack in my blacktop after a while they're awesome p a c k down I work for New York State DOT been in front of a milling machine many many hours but whatever you do do not let them set too long in the heat cuz it will turn back in the blacktop unfortunately

[@danmcgowan8563]

Continuous improvement, Your place is always improving. Put a bolt and nut through the center of your pulley and spin it in a drill to see if it's straight. That will be $1 for the guidance 🤣

[@ghostunspeakable7866]

The belts are probablly the harmonic balancer but it could also be bearings...or both Edit...definitely a wobbly pulley too

[@davidwolff8878]

Chris i had the same problem with the belts a few years back . I tried match , OEM green ...... they kept spinning off. no one could find a problem, multiple garages thinking new eyes on the problem. over $,2,000 just in belts not garage time, i tried one more time spent the hole day shimming ,checking for square , or damaged pullies or shafts, tensioners. looked great . started it great . dove 500 ft wrapped around the alt and air compressor brought it back . slapped a $ 1,000 for sale sign on it. IT was a INT 2500 s glad that truck is gone. One thing i regret, was not trying converting to serpentine

[@miketrowbridge8469]

I've done millings so for larger chunks that for screws grading so see if you can locate an old fashion York rake that will pull out bigger pieces

[@burtzorn4059]

Spent enough time and money on belts. TAKE IT TO A TRUCK SHOP AND GET IT FIXED RIGHT 👍

[@justinbarker4603]

Get all the millings you can. That’s good stuff.

[@leinie6683]

Dont let those millings sit in a pile too long- You'll have a great big rock

[@billhunter8868]

If it was me the full time help would be a mechanic

[@codyfoster7981]

Old man told me if your gonna run a dog you better have a pack. And he wasnt wrong. That being said Some days i have 4 different pickups to drive and somedays i borrow dads 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikebougher3731]

Check crankshaft end play make sure the thrust bearing isn't wore out and switch to the newer 2 belt system if the parts truck has them.

[@dannystubblefield5478]

Duffy Ag making it happen in 2024-- this man is all hustle!!

[@martinwaddell]

Par for the course when you’re starting out Chris you keep working hard good things are going to happen and before long you’ll have the big dog on the road

[@bobrat]

Chris, could you put the big blade on your 7520 for material moving?

[@aaronwarr34]

Good video man. Hope you made it out ok with all.l the rain today. Old man and I lost 21 of our 25 acres of corn, all hay equipment was under water, including my 4020. Stay safe bro.

[@jasonwoods3384]

looking good, keep going

[@maxzeigler5857]

It all takes time to get it the way you want it

[@whitby910]

Looking good.

[@jeffmcbride469]

I have no doubt you will figure out this belt issue!

[@stilesevans1]

You can also get belts that are not cut so all three are run together, but yeah, if you have an alignment or bent shaft issue those would need to be addressed first. 100 tons must be at least 80 yards.

[@keithfrazier2558]

I wonder if switching to multiple electric fans to remove that aspect from the front of the pulley would help some. I know it would increase your HP not having the fan dragging on the engine.

[@robertburey4704]

Wouldn't focusing on the driveway entrance first be best. Then you can more easily access the farm with trucks and fill

[@jasonbeecher509]

Clutched fans on Ford tractors used to do that too. We bolted them and didn't have any more problems

[@jeffclinch7448]

Millings are the best! They don't wash away. I wish I had 100 ton. I have friends that you would think a blacktop company had paved their driveway.

[@dannystubblefield5478]

my big block chevy 1980 malibu would throw the belt and i custom installed a tensioner and that solved my problem.on this day a 8.50 nova outrun a 7,30 car

[@bradwbangerter863]

You can always take off the old pulley take it to a machine shop and have them build you a new one

[@kaydog2008]

Belt alignment breakage is always these two fan or power steering pulleys on any vehicle. FACT💯❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕Tip never tighten V belts only snugg enough that you can’t make the belts slide around the pullies with both hands to keep from overheating and bending the pump shaft. Plus belt slip spray helps a whole lot.

[@CraigMeier-m9p]

Your truck could be bent water pump shaft and you should get actually match set belts. Your coupler on the tractor is very common the rubber gets hard and cracked and it blows apart

[@willianvos3521]

Dump some ground by those trees so that you have a smoother drive-in from the road to that spot

[@larryemery1554]

That pile he just dumped looked like it was bigger. Then what I dump out of my tri-axle dump truck. I drive at my work. That's a hell overload. I can legally hold 23 ton on my dump truck in Maine.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Wasn't any 23 tons came off of Aaron's truck, cameras can be deceiving.

[@waynejones5239]

I operated a milling machine for servarl years

[@jimmyhartman4596]

The problem I had with my case 9280 was some burrs on the pulleys and a file cured the problem

[@NeisenTransport]

Yeah ya had a load on the ol girl for sure...your probably 80k at 18-20 ton. 💪 Hey when millings are free here we load em up! I have hauled many loads of asphalt and millings. If you can spread and roll them fresh they can look great. Eventually will break up but good stuff!

[@larryshipman248]

Looks good.

[@craigblack1409]

I have worked on Diesel engines for over 40 years, it's the vibration dampner ,you can't look at it to see if it is bad.

[@andyzumwalt3632]

Those cuplers can go when the pump fails. I hope that's not the case on the tractor.

[@robertquast9684]

Not sure what style your coupling is but if it’s the 3 piece aluminum and rubber one 1 would get the complete coupler not just the rubber. Usually the aluminum halves wear as well

[@maxzeigler5857]

If one breaks, you got another one to rely

[@ruffnerpatterson9031]

Spray the millings with diesel it will activate asphalt then drive on it will pack and get hard

[@verajamieson8020]

Good video Chris.you moving now,go man go.🇮🇪☘️🔨🔨

[@johnpierce1251]

Put the snow blade on the 75 it will push it clean

[@willianvos3521]

Add 3feet on the side by the silagetruck then you can park the landoll there and the silagetruck alongside the barn

[@muddflapthelogdog4739]

I had a cat c15 that was rolling belts come to find the crank was broke in the thrush bearing letting half the crank walk in and out in the front half of the crank

[@cantwellron11]

Hot day spray it with diesel and roll it = top job

[@davidwright2260]

Checked your crankshaft and play when you shift your crankshaft moves if your bearings, are not tight, specially your thrust bearings

[@davidwright2260]

End not and

[@MarkGamble-wj9cm]

Packing it down already.

[@davidforbes6250]

I would have thought there was something quite wrong if belts keep on failing at the frequency we are seeing here.

[@cantwellron11]

Can buy roll of tempers belt its red tube you cut & push jointer in we run 4 days of 24 hrs running with hydro blaster it lasted hole job on Deitre 6 screamer

[@kaydog2008]

Andrew Carmata a YT lives out there maybe give him a call to deliver or pick up shale stone. He owns a whole mountain.

[@larryemery1554]

After you get your millions spread before it rains. Spread some Kelsey among it doesn't matter if it's chips or pellets. When it rains, it will do a chemical reaction. Heat up and bond it back together. So it will be a good sub base if you ever want to pay it. That's what we do without reclaim. We make out a hot top where I work and it will make it so hard. You can't scrape it up with a greater without ripping it first.

[@davidyoung9195]

That was my first thought when you said 15 hrs has to be a bad pulley. Good luck getting it straightened out. Those killings work great once they get packed in. A 90 degree day works best for spreading them; then they set up like asphalt. I agree with you about the auto slack adjusters.

[@williamhawks2372]

Maybe the brick drum was it together they do Lely do that

[@davidwhisnant3230]

At least with the spring trailer you don't have to dump the air bags before you dump

[@dougbush8974]

Don't know if you know this but they make matched belts mybe a try

[@billkroczyk3749]

I love my old junk to I have a 1986 International that I use can I have another one that's also on 86 then I'm just starting to get to put together single axle but they do me good I don't need a million dollar truck to do what I do just a little farm trucks

[@billkroczyk3749]

I'm almost positive it's just the p u l l e y got a hell of a wobble

[@coryweber6188]

If that's all you can haul that trailer must be heavy we have full frame aluminum trailers and haul double that we mill 6 days a week in summer on a mill twice that size we mill half a hwy I one shot

[@jeffstoodley6155]

Did you do ok with the tropical storm? I live east of you we got hammered still in a tornado watch

[@scottperman6495]

that end dump is go up 22.23 tons.and it is exe to overload it

[@billkroczyk3749]

Mine is a lot smaller than yours it only has a 7.3 straight p i p e d no Jakes yet but God love jake brakes

[@macdonaldclarke7558]

What does the freightliner have in it?

[@verajamieson8020]

Chris hope you clean off road so that its ok for neighbour John??

[@plowkingf15]

Was that the water pump that got hit when your truck rolled away in the yard?

[@marktranbarger2122]

Measure the width of all the pulleys to make sure they are the same also.

[@mattmurdock4336]

If you throw belts this much you probably need a new vibration damper.

[@lathammarek927]

Alignment will kill belts! Wobble kills them!

[@johnpierce1251]

Just a bit of deer input after they are 1 year old they have twins til they die

[@johnpierce1251]

If it wobbled up and down not side To side I’d say it’s the pump but it looks like the pulley took a hit

[@philpark8059]

Have any of your friends got a box blade ??
