Heavy Equipment Operator Trunk Kit

Today's Down & Dirty is geared more toward newer operators. If you're a veteran operator, please share in the comments anything I've forgotten! Today's topic is a trunk kit. What did I carry around when I was operating full time?

For the company that I work for , I’ve been using a Manuel grease gun for 5 years greasing my equipment I use on a job . But I’m happily to say that I’ve made my purchase in the electric grease gun. It’s a lifesaver

[@DieselandIron]

Switching to an electric grease gun is definitely a game changer

[@anthonydauber429]

@@DieselandIron it definitely is

[@Filzkiiz]

[@DieselandIron]

DEF is a good one that not many people carry. My coworkers have been making fun of me for weeks for carrying around 2 jugs of DEF because "that's what the fuel and lube truck is for!" Until the fuel truck shows up first thing in the morning and then an hour and a half later a low boy shows up with a machine that is full of fuel, but has absolutely no DEF in it. I looked like a hero for having DEF. Microfiber towels and Hope's perfect glass are also worth carrying around.

[@DieselandIron]

As long as you take care with how you handle DEF there's nothing wrong with keeping a spare around. Just don't let it bake for weeks on end.

[@alexjames943]

Thank you sir for this short video... Sometimes I always get scared when it comes to grazing an excavator and it makes me feel so sad but after what you said about the gloves I'm going to look for it and I hope it makes me feel good....

[@alexjames943]

I also want to thank you special you really made me know what I want and you showed me the way... you told me what my brother's couldn't even tell me and you made me feel like I have someone who cares about me.... I was already on an apprenticeship programs in Nigeria and it was just that I was so confused and my training teacher he was having a problem with his family and he haven't been outside for a very long time... But he is back now ...my program was for 2 year's...I have only 5 months ... To get done... That was why I was so confused because without him I cannot be approved for a certificate...thank you so so much... I just want to tell you I'm always here this channel is my home😇😇💯💯📌📌

[@DieselandIron]

@@alexjames943 thanks for watching Alex and I'm happy to help. Let me know if you have more questions going forward

[@65Lynchy]

Used to have 'hammerspanner' lol adjustable with hammer head welded on end of handle,change pipes,knock pins.....till it got pinched

[@DieselandIron]

Whatever gets the job done!

[@StefanBacon]

The video we didn't know we all needed.

[@DieselandIron]

I appreciate you watching brother.

[@ryangarrett3795]

Thanks for the video Bryan, a few points to add, a small tote to put muddy boots in, glass cleaner doesn’t hurt for job sites that are very muddy or dusty. Additionally break clean might not be the best thing to clean your grease gun with as it can warp the plastic and rubber, I’ve never seen it happen but it would suck to ruin an expensive grease gun over

[@DieselandIron]

All of these are great points. Thanks Ryan!

[@nicsanta1928]

I keep a nail on my grease gun for zerks and for the def I would recommend keeping a brand new jug of it I don’t know def scares me lol

[@DieselandIron]

If you keep a jug of DEF you need to take care to rinse it out periodically and make sure no crystals form on or in the jug.

[@JohnDoe-yq3mf]

Really good content mate. Thank you for producing this. All the tips and tricks that the old hands have learned makes life easier for us newbies. In my kit I try to have a roll of duct tape so i can tape a clean rag around hydraulic couplings on attachments, a pack of decent plastic cable ties and a small hammer.

[@DieselandIron]

Great suggestions. Thanks for watching brother!

[@famfam6205]

The backhoe takes 3 grease tubes the Milwaukee grease gun makes my life easier. Add the lock and lube attachment it is a game changer

[@DieselandIron]

I never pulled the trigger on the locking tip. I could never decide if it actually worked or was a gimmick that would end up being a pain in the ass. I'll have to give it a try.

[@brandonculpepper438]

Listen here, you’re worried about your princess hands…. And god forbid you get them dirty. If I have to wear a pink thong when we meet, you need to wear a pink tutu because you’re a princess.

[@ryangarrett3795]

I second this movement lol

[@DieselandIron]

I will own the pink tutu. I am a princess...
