How to fix a leaking Hydraulic Bottle Jack - $4 part, 5 minute fix

[@odiesclips7621]

I'm 77 yrs old. I do all kinds of diy jobs for friends n neighbors. They always ask how I learned that stuff. And I always tell them me dad taught me everything. Great job, Marty!!!❤

[@87mini]

Same here, I feel like it keeps my dad alive when I pass it on!

[@blairfright9622]

Great job Marty teaching the little one how to do repairs. It starts with interest and a good teacher . We'll done Dad.

[@j.b.6855]

Teaching your kids to repair what you have and save money is a priceless lesson.

[@robertburns3014]

Those kinds of skills (the skills Marty has) are becoming more valuable all the time.

[@tmmtmm]

@@robertburns3014more valuable but undervalued. The average person couldn't tighten a loose screw :/ Just throw it out and get a new one they would tell you

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

​@@tmmtmm 👍🏻👍🏻 A throw away society. Our old ex army wood crane had a Ford chassis with a Commer cab, a Ford D (Major) engine, brakes cobbled from a Bedford but it worked in the woods for over 40 years😂😂

[@knockmore50]

great bloke marty

[@sargefreedom1578]

My dad always had me helping. Did the same for my kids, they didn’t always like it but now they appreciate it

[@harrykeel8557]

Looks like you have your no. one helper on the job. Fixing a jack four dollars, Spending time with your son...priceless!

[@rmck6830]

It's great to see you teaching your children how to fix things at such a young age. These lessons will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

[@kizmetmars]

It's such a simple thing, telling your son what the problem is and then asking him how to fix it. Helps him be involved, gets his brain working and makes him feel good solving a problem with his dad. What a great parent.

[@can-cruiser]

The fact you found a repair kit for these cheap chinese presses is an incredible feat on its own..

[@daleolson3506]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I need a repair kit for a bottle jack that's used on a motorcycle lift. I haven't watched the video yet. At work. However, this gives me hope!!

[@M.Godfrey]

Type in the name or serial code, you can find the blueprints of the assembly nd all the part names and pictures

[@TerrorTubbie666]

As far as I know lots of Chinese products are imitations of better quality products. This way they already save a lot of time and money because they don't have to test and redesign and test and redesign etc... If you can figure out where they copied 'their' design, you might be able to find (cheap chinesium) replacement parts, that will miraculously fit perfect in your Chinese imitation product.

[@mattgraham1983]

Most of the Chinese junk is interchangeable heaps of the seals and berings are common.. but some aren't... just totally depends on the supplier (often they will refuse to sell you a seal if it's not going to be checked) eg business use.. I've actually had heaps of issues getting bearings for my Escooter and they are a common size.. same size but for a drill press no issue😂 makes no difference to me I either order a set online and wait a month or one a week for 4 weeks 🤔🤷‍♂️ the really sad thing is Marty and any Kiwi is better off spending our dollars overseas but then we are the problem😂 hey its like the ban plastics bags so the supplier puts more products in plastic😂🤷‍♂️

[@garyholt4445]

Many years ago I had a neighbor who was a retired builder. During his retirement he made toys and children’s furniture for local charity stores. My son who was only 2+ years old would go next door and watch and help this gentleman working with wood. He loved having company while he worked and would give my son easy jobs that he could do. I was forever grateful to this gentleman for teaching my son so much and having the patience to do so.

[@danmoreton1788]

A dad and his son working together, priceless!

[@bruceleealmighty]

Absolute Gold. Self reliance is the key to ultimate survival. To be able to carry on that mentality to future generations is priceless. Love every single thing about this episode.

[@geraintpowell6304]

As a fellow purveyor of the mullet, I approve of the boy's haircut. He will go far in life.

[@DansKoiPond]

Came on the comment to say, good video wow that's one hell of a mullet. Good skills.

[@jerrybow8779]

😂😂 it’s a kiwi and Aussie right of passage

[@thomasroutson3046]

Love how you include your kids in many of your videos! You're a great dad and an excellent role model for them. I hope your lessons sink in!❤

[@troublemarked]

Great one Marty, I remember doing this kind of thing with my dad, i don't recall being interested in it at all, but after all of those years it all rubbed off onto me and I thank my dad for all of that experience... so even if they don't look like they are listening, it gets absorbed!

[@12345kermie]

It's the tiny extra habits you're teaching the lad that I like. (For example, only take things out of the bag when you're ready to use them. That would have saved me SO much time looking for parts, over the years).

[@californiadreamer2580]

Even if it takes the kids years to learn repair skills, the most important lesson in the beginning is learning that most things can be repaired! Good job Mr.+ Mrs. T! 😊

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Marty your family is so beautiful. And your son is such a ham! So funny. Just like the crocodile man's son Bindy, your young son will flourish in your knowledge. Watching him grow up will be so special. He has a great personality and father. This wasn't about your press. This was about your son. He's an awesome little dude. 💯❤️

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Awesome video! Love how you are teaching your Son how to fix and use stuff! :)

[@wolfpreist]

Awesome video. Love that your teaching your kids.

[@paulthompson3877]

great video Marty , teaching the young to follow in your footsteps .

[@gregsecore9625]

that is awesome you bonding with your son like that, he will remember them days for the rest of his life. Just wanted to say that buddy that's pretty cool, plus you have a awesome channel and I really enjoy watching you

[@gazzafloss]

You've got a budding young mechanic there Marty. I had both my son and daughter helping build their own VW scrub buggy when they were about your boys age. It's good knowledge/skills for a kid to have. It's what my Dad did for me.

[@elliotazus6258]

Hi Marty, Great mentor for your children! God bless and take care from your California subscriber.

[@doskraut]

He's so patient with the kids, there going to learn well.

[@theissofkaltenbrun9043]

Absolute legend Marty This time spent with the kids is unforgettable for them, also such a fun way to learn.

[@joerodrigues3816]

Mate great to see you back and I love how you show your children how to do things as you are doing it that’s how it should be done great on you mate C-U- in the next one take care and all the best to you and your family mate.

[@BaronVonBeef]

It's always nice to see you get your kids involved 😊

[@PS-Straya_M8]

Wish I had a father like you growing up Marty your kids are very lucky to learn from the master😁

[@nicolek4076]

Thank you for including us in this lovely family moment.

[@GICK117]

Good on you to give your children important tools for life. Cheers from New Mexico Mountains.

[@KenElkins-m3r]

watching you and your son working on things takes me back to the times i spent with my dad great times

[@GreyRockOne]

Nice work Marty! That's how they learn! Lesson's they'll cherish for a lifetime.

[@AfroMyrdal]

This is the sort of stuff I wish my dad would've thought me when I was a kid, I'm sure it wouldn't have stuck to my head but to be fair lots of both useless and useful stuff does! He wasn't mechanically inclined other than what way to turn a spanner. I've swapped engines in cars and can do it in about 3 hours in a Volvo 360, but stuff like this, I would kill to have learned it from him. Or my mother, I'm not opposed to that either! 😂 I really really appreciate what you do and that you always seem to also teach your kids the same stuff. It's always so chill watching your videos, leaning back and actually learn something I might use, not some mindless "can I restore this hundred thousand dollar auction car and make a profit?! Keep it up man much love from Norway! 🇳🇴

[@nicolaschampagne8988]

ahah the little boy making faces got me laughing hard 😂

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Absolutely! Hilarious! 😂😂

[@russvetter4250]

Love seeing the kids in the shop!! Best education is hands on! Thanks for your great videos.

[@barrygrant2907]

Knowing how (or even trying) to fix things is a dying art in today's throw-away world. Good for teaching your kid.

[@andrewjones-productions]

Your son is growing fast! Please tell him that I am glad that he was in the video as the explanation for your son also made it easy for this mid-fifties relic easily understand too! I also have a leaky hydraulic bottle jack that needs fixing.

[@LFBsmokealarm]

Great dad, great son. Reminds me of my childhood when I was always watching and learning from my own dad.

[@cennsa140driver]

Great to see you kids are working with you. Being able to fix things is a shrinking talent.

[@daveseymour8246]

Dear Marty, passing your knowledge on to your little ones is truly priceless as well as heartwarming. Your videos never disappoint & always make me smile 😊. God bless you, your family not forgetting doggy & thank you 🙏👍😁

[@soggybottom3463]

Educational and great fun too for a Sunday morning, many thanks to Toby for the technical points 👍😅

[@jakemoore7912]

That boy is lucky, he has a very knowledgeable dad passing on that knowledge to him.. and a sweet mullet

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Marty, good to see you got the managing director day today. Keep an eye on you. Making sure you’re doing a good job on just love, watching you and your son together is fantastic He is willing to learn , keep up the good work Waze love the videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia

[@jefferyedwards5003]

It is a good man who engages with his children's minds, teaches them and is patient with them...keep up the excellent work, Marty

[@jefferyedwards5003]

And there is nothing more refreshing than a NZ mullet.

[@timniven9461]

Love the way you involve your kids, so desperately important.

[@robertmcbee4671]

Excellent teaching your young lad. He will remember this for the rest of his life and then teach his young'uns. Stay safe!

[@DanKoning777]

I didn't see that I had this until this morning-what a great way to start the day! I wish my dad did this with me. Well done Marty; keep teaching. God bless.

[@nealwright5630]

My dad taught me to do so much... repairing vehicles, hunting, fishing, homebuilding (framing, roofing, wiring, cabinetry, finish carpentry). At some point you realize you're able to do pretty much whatever you set your mind to!

[@dustoff1472]

I remember working with my Dad(getting in the way), Iloved it. Great Dad. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@TerryC69]

Hi Marty! Your helper is brimming with enthusiasm.

[@brianwade8649]

Good quality, wholesome content. Much appreciated!

[@col2lin]

If your lad is anything like I was he will remember this for the rest of his life. I am 80 & was remembering (with my sisters) the things that happened. This was the sort of thing that came up.

[@davidpawson7393]

This is exactly how I remember New Zealand in 1988. Everything was rebuilt. Exactly how my father taught me who's from New Zealand and why I do what I do today if I need something. The dump is my store and I turned it into a small business. Never paid for appliances, yard equipment, furniture and haven't even financed a car. Thanks dad, I need to call him and tell him this before I can't.

[@davidpawson7393]

Thankyou. I don't get notifications for some reason and appreciate you reading my comment and hearting it. Obviously I'm replying to myself technically but hopefully I start a trend of us thanking who made us who we are.

[@ciberbri59]

Marty could do with a little supervising I think. The little fellow has his dad's great timing. That last comment was spot on. "Squashed like a pancake!"

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Great job lil man , and the googly eyes too . 😊😊😊😊

[@dietrichess9997]

That was awesome! Great time spent with the boy. I have commented on this jack once before in another of your videos. I was astounded that it (or one like it) could lift that bulldozer. I'm learning stuff too. 🙂

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Now THAT'S how Sr. teaches Jr. all of his skills! Great work, Dad!

[@HashV17]

"Out with the old, in with the new.". 💯 Some ChrisFix vibes here. I love it.

[@ralphturner3798]

I love how the little boy keeps looking up at the camera and sometimes opening his mouth. He is very cute.

[@Gregemio]

So wholesome.... Your such a good Dad Marty! Makes me miss the days when my kids were little.

[@not-pc6937]

The little blokes a great help and learning life’s lessons along the way 👍memories that he’ll have the rest of his life

[@JDAfrica]

How precious! Ur son acknowledges everything you say with a “uh mm”

[@claudios1983]

Marty I just started following you, really what you do is what I would like to do, except that I live in Argentina and we don't have as many abandoned vehicles as in your country, it really gives me a lot of satisfaction to watch your videos. I don't speak English well, for this reason I made the message using Google Translate. I'm still trying to figure out what part of the world you are in, since I noticed that several recovered vehicles have right-hand drive. I hope you continue uploading content of this type and good luck for the future. A big greeting from Argentina!

[@MartyT]

Thanks for watching, I am in Marlborough NZ

[@allanvincent4450]

i have the same jack so now know how to fix if required. Thank you Marty.

[@mischef18]

Great teaching video bro, ya co star is getting good life skills too. Safe travels. Ken.

[@mrparlanejxtra]

Good to see the lad will grow up appreciating that fixing things is the thing to do

[@richardphelan8414]

Marty your Boy is a smart little lad ,he definitely pays attention to what your doing, Excellent work mate ,He will be doing your work by the time he's ten your a excellent teacher Marty

[@Wheelloader__]

Good one Marty. Teach them young. They remember everything when you’re young.

[@MrJFoster1984]

Who needs pliers for the clips when dad has vice grip fingers! Great to have the little fella along for the video. Cheers mate 👍

[@greghanlon2235]

Your boy will never forget these lessons.

[@ralphjaneheywood2565]

Just the right amount of supervision Marty

[@caveweta]

The wonder of a squashed can! Love the inquisitiveness on your sons face.

[@morgansword]

I would just be repeating what other positive statements were already said. well done

[@BottleJackBuddy]

Great video!

[@CharlesManch]

The faces at the camera made me laugh out loud. 😂

[@jamesbull890]

It's sad that the supplier didn't give you the kit as it's obviously a known fault with an upgrade fix. My younger son pulled a Peli case from a skip which had a broken catch, an easy fix. He looked on ebay and the prices for pattern parts was quite high, I suggested he go direct to Peli who said Lifetime Guarantee parts are free even when my son said he'd got it from a skip. They sent a complete set of eight catches not just the one. Really enjoy watching your videos.

[@davidp8157]

I bought a cheap engine lift, about the 3rd time I used it, it stopped pumping. On pulling it apart , the one way valve under the pump rod had popped, so was not one way ( basically punched/staked socket the ball sits in needed to be re punched/ staked) Fixed the problem, no cost, reassembled, and still in use many years later

[@Wil_Liam1]

Great mullet there Toby !! There's a 20 ton air over hydraulic jack on fleabay for 67 bux which beats replacing the seals in the manual bottle jack providing one has air handy,or can one can still use the handle to pump it up..

[@normmcrae1140]

Your son is going to be SO GLAD when he's older and doesn't have to fork out $$ for every little thing that goes wrong in his life! Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when he does it HIMSELF.

[@IR-nq4qv]

If Marty was fixing a flat on a wheel barrow, he'd still be able to make it entertaining. Squashed like a pancake, this will come in handy when pressing bearings.., the wee man looks like he's after stretching at bit since the last time we saw him. It's always great to see him hanging out with dad. Good job on the bottle jack brother, its good for another 20 years.

[@daveschroedersworkshop4479]

Nice work Marty. Reminds me of my Dad teaching me stuff like that!

[@MegaDirtyberty]

I was given a three ton floor jack, it was given to me because it leaked and didn't work. I took all the seals out and visited my local seal supplier and got them to match up the seals. I then spent a pleasant afternoon cleaning and reassembling it, it's now my go to floor jack, I also made a saddle for it on my lathe because that was missing too. Sometimes it's better to repair than to just chuck the old one and buy a new one.

[@susanj8158]

Your son is precious!

[@JohnNAmon]

Your assistant is developing some really great skills!

[@alanharney5278]

Best dad ever. Thanks for the video.

[@I_M_Nonno]

You may be sorry you taught him how to squash things. 😄

[@MartyT]

😂

[@RetroYamaha]

​They work better with castor wheels fitted to the side to take out slide slack & fit a quick release plastic nob on the release part where you fitted the bar to makes it a lot easier to work with that's what I did on mine ​@MartyT although mine has RSJ on the side to fi the castor wheels maybe you could shim yours for slide slack

[@johnnewson5039]

the kids are growing up fast. best wishes from the uk🚜

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Great, easy fix! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@geoffburnham3967]

Well done. I should have a look for my leaking jack seal.

[@nedmacallen]

So heartwarming see you teach your son.

[@joebenigni1074]

Great job teaching the younger generation how and what they really need to know

[@andrewrobotbuilder]

Looks like your boy is picking up on your repair skills, good looks and humour!

[@tmscheum]

Mean-mugging for the camera already. Superstar in the making!

[@mickdoherty8633]

Love you little helper and camera hog!! 😃👍

[@tbirdracefan]

Thinking back, The hours I could of spent crushing all sorts of things as a small child. Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars especially. I have and old floor jack I have been holding on to for a couple of decades waiting on the desire to fix a seal on it.

[@TheDisorderly1]

Nice job. I hope Toby can join you for videos more often.

[@DavidM2002]

Brilliant. Exactly what I needed. Do you make house calls to Canada ???

[@fourbyfourer]

Great job teaching your little fella Marty. The future of KZbin definitely needs a "Marty T Jr".

[@jamesa7506]

A fine job gentlemen! 👍

[@JohnMGibby]

Kudos to teaching your kids. Something I was not very good at.

[@pauloconnor7951]

What a terrific Son you have Marty !!!!
