Iam not a farmer, I come from the automotive side of things, but am also a bit of AG enthusiast.I bet farmers who find videos like this one probably love you! I watch quite a few of the more popular "farm tubers" and it seems to me information like this is so helpful and money saving, your whole " how to repair " line of videos are great. Frankly after just watching a few of your videos I think you are criminally underrated as far as subs go. I hope this channel picks up even more. You deserve it! Not only are your other " big repair job" videos fascinating for at least another mechanic that works on much smaller stuff to watch, but the how to videos... just invaluable if you own this equiptment!

This way the o ring has grease on its entire surface rather than just on the outer half. Remember, that o ring moves and seals on the inside half also. Good Job. Thanks for the video!.
