Matt, when rebuilding hydraulic and injection pumps and anything with precision fit, act like your going into surgery. Before disassembly, cap it and hit it with the parts washer big or little, bc dirt is your enemy. I used to rebuild those Stanadyne pumps and cleanliness is the easiest thing you can do for the job. Thanks for bringing us along, it makes the days go much easier.

[@johnvanas4602]

A lot of credit to Matt for not only shooting interesting topics from creative and pleasant angles, but also for the quality of the editing. That’s got to take as much or more time than the projects themselves.

[@Hoaxer51]

Hey Matt, I worked for a concrete sub most of my life doing roadwork over here in Ohio and most of the concrete suppliers use conveyors for the stone and sand in their batch plants. They have to replace those conveyor belts occasionally, they’re usually rubber belting 24” wide by however long. They would offer those to us if we had a need, because we used them all the time they were usually free but those belts have a number of uses. They’re great for rolling out on the concrete floor if we were driving heavy equipment in and out of our shop, especially with tracked equipment. Just a thought if you’d be interested in checking something like that out.

[@donniecoleman1324]

I live in Louisiana, I know. Where an abandoned cat dozer is . I don’t know who owns it but I may be able to find out for you I know that’s a long , but I’ve seen you drive over 8 hours for a piece of equipment. Are you interested.

Hey Matt, thanks for giving my son jackson and I a few minuits of time at your D9 with you Sunday morning. We had a great time at the steam show both days. We really enjoy your videos. A little over 2 years ago I quit my job as a union electrician to do self employed excavation full time. This was in no small way influenced by you and Andrew Camerata's you tube content. Keep up the good work. - Andrew and Jackson from Michigan

[@FamP-o3z]

Hidden leak for sure. Former hydraulic designer here, a common problem is that the return filter for the "free return" is clogged and that builds pressure that push the shaft seals out. Had many farmers forgetting to connect the return hose to their tractor as well, or it popped loose during seeding. That machine might have a return filter, worth checking..

[@whitemonkey7932]

This....if the weep line is blocked then in time the seal will pop, the seal is only intended to hold weep pressure not system pressure.

[@lawrencebernas9229]

Another interesting video. I worked for the Chicago Transit Authority for 43 years. You remind me of the great mechanics we have in our revenue and non revenue fleet maintenance and repair. 👍👍

[@kapiteinbier]

Dear Matt, I happen to be an hydraulic service engineer. And the most important thing about sustaining hydraulics is cleanliness. That means: change filters at least annually and never, and I mean never!! leave lines or parts open for extended periods of time. Furthermore, the best part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. The down part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. Users tend to neglect maintenance because it always works. Until it doesn't and then you're in for a treat.. Don't extend filter replacements just because the clogging gauage isn't in the red yet. If it is in the red, the filter is already bypassing and dirt/particles are doing damage.

[@Erik_MN]

The filmography and editing is actually my favorite part of these videos. A lot of work and experience goes into the camera placement, lighting, sound quality, editing etc. and I really enjoy seeing Matt's approach evolve and grow over the years. 👍

On your hand rail, try using an old radiator hose as an isolator. Usually just need u bolt 1 size up. Piece of hose lasts about the whole year so you should get a few out of it.

[@starlightdragon6862]

i work on school busses for a living and we have an in house joke, even though the guy hasn't worked there for over 2 years any time a filter is over tight we joke that "Parr must've gotten ahold of this one" because he liked to overtighten the filters beyond stupidity. we've had to take an air chisel to a couple of them before.

I watch many rebuild and machinery maintenance videos but I often get bored half way through as they get tedious. Not so with Matt and Marty T in New Zealand. I really enjoyed this one in particular. Matt does a great job of explaining fully, yet succinctly and really has a knack of making it interesting. Good stuff and whilst I know little about rollers, I can see that you have made a good purchase there and it looks to be quite versatile.

I think I would change the hose restraint at the drum. It appears it could be straightened and tightened to keep the hoses inside the machine perimeter to protect them from contacting anything driving by.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

You can roll with the vibration turned off.

[@robj1234]

Make sure the case drain hose is not restricted back to the tank. that is quite often the reason for the seal to leak.

[@kenc3288]

Yes agreed, I hope Matt checked that.

[@DieselCreek]

I checked it just didn’t record thay

[@larryelliott6321]

And if that caused the bulging hyd. motor seal and leak, why would that line get plugged? Maybe it should have a larger line, or if it has the same pressure as the main high pressure line's return, then why isn't it just plumbed near the motor into the main return??

[@Nighterlev]

@@larryelliott6321 Judging from the fact that the filters likely hadn't been replaced in a long time, and the hydraulic motor showing obvious signs of severe wear, I would imagine one of the hydraulic filters got plugged with metal & caused pressure to build up, breaking the seal. Luckily this means the filter did it's job and prevented metal from contaminating everything, just at the cost of tons of hydraulic fluid filling up the drum lol.

[@mrfrenzy.]

​@larryelliott6321 the drain line has zero pressure. It is supposed to return to tank above the fluid level and not share any other functions. If you share with the main return line there would be way too much case pressure.

Motor is a radial piston. Pistons are connected to a swash plate. Hydrostatic motors are built the same except the swash plate angle is variable. This variability gives you more or less ground speed.I'm sure Wes or Scrappy can give you a much more indepth description. AL B.

[@ianmckay1780]

Matt, thanks for getting the new roller in the shop. It's an IR machine so, from my limited experience on rollers, I know their air tools are brilliant, so hydraulics should be just as good (very similar way they work). I was talking you through the dismantling procedure on the pump, and you got to where you wanted, without harm. The swash plate was done for, the body was worn, and I suspect the individual pumps were too. In other words, get it worked over it's no good. The seal took me by surprise, I'd never seen that before. I was expecting the seal to blow much harder but the unit was U/S. As for the rest of the video, up to your usual standard, excellent, looked like a fun job all in all. The drive was looking bit "lumpy " before, but after a bit of massage she looked v good, it's a keeper! And I liked that you have learnt the lesson of think before you speak, "no I'm not going to say that," and it worked... Thanks from UK.

Even with the expensive rebuild of the motor and extra works - $15,000 cost seems good value - especially bearing in mind what stuff is reaching at auction across the pond.

Just curious as to why you don’t pre-fill your filters before you put them on instead of having to pump them full of fuel and oil

good machine You pass it forward vibrating, before reaching the end you remove the vibration so as not to make a hole, you put it back on and return to the same place. It is done slowly.

Matt doesn't say "squirrel" and get distracted, he says "Dozer/Autocar/Roller". 🤣😂

Well spend the day in Peru Illinois watching P51s and Corsairs and Avengers and whole bunch of other vintage warbirds flying around and come home and get to see Matt cranking on some slightly newer ground based gear to wrap up a perfect day.

"What good is it living in the middle of nowhere if cant take your roller for a rip at midnight." I couldn't have said it better myself. All hail the algorithm.

The wife will have something to say about that once the house is built and you both live there 😉

I love your videos. I know you have nothing more to do but would really like to see you work on your truck. Would love to see it restored and have you share the progress along the way. I can't do it any more but watching you is second best. I check out the truck every time you shoot something else just to make shure it is still there in the background. Thanks for sharing. Jim

Like the comment you made about how rollers does one need, I am a bit like you Matt, I have 3 tractors, they all will serve a different purpose, I also have 2 push pull lawn mower and 2 ride on lawn mower which all serve a different purpose. I am watching your video roller with massive leak as I am doing my dishes, always get good information and ideas from watching your videos.
