Love the Barrel Half as a Engine Cover That hinges Up nice work Matt Looks Good 10:48 @Diesel Creek

[@nferraro222]

I wholly approve of using four tools the wrong way to get the right answer.

[@michaelbridges6058]

Matt you are a dam good mechanic and problem solver. .

[@FarmCraft101]

Matt, you may find this story funny. Years ago I had a roommate who looked exactly like you. In videos where you show your face up close it always jumps out at me. He could almost be your twin. But the funny part is that guy was the most inept person on the planet. No common sense, totally unable to do anything for himself. Not exaggerating. Seriously, I showed him 3 times how to use the dishwasher and he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what a circuit breaker was. He was amazed when I made cookies from the premade roll of cookie dough. And when I would build or fix things, well, let's just say he wasn't much help. Anyway, you guys look exactly the same, but beyond that, you are complete opposites! It makes me chuckle when I'm learning valuable stuff watching you, and then I see you up close and get reminded of him. Love your channel, and thanks for sharing.

My god your "bench lathe" almost gave me a heart attack lol.

[@frankdeegan8974]

This type of lathe is what I used to do but I made a 1 x 30 belt grinder with a good sized platen and builtin dust collection system using a vacuum cleaner cyclone bag less cup type collector for fine turning and truing some parts for the custom junk I put together.

[@awkwarddude]

Definitely OSHA approved...😉😁

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Rofl...yeah!! But what really got me was that "press fit" popping out!!😆😅🙃

All sorts of ingenuity on show here Matt, great stuff. "Adopt, adapt, improve."👌

[@williamhastings7182]

Lol....I've been there....used my drill press for operations such as that many times...excellent ingenuity

[@kevinkowalski5913]

I've turned my drill press into a makeshift end mill using a 2 way vise

[@snjairbeater]

Freaking great! Thinking outside the box with the tumbler! 😂

[@teddarling4225]

Matt, just a old man from South Dakota. When you picked up your F600 with the dump box for your Binder (SD slang for International). There was a F700 with a knuckle boom on it. The last time I saw the truck it was setting in your yard and still had the boom on it. I think (dangerous), that boom would really be handy for a lot of things you use. Your excavator for.. Mostly because most of those style booms the grapple swivels. But of course you will need a truck to mount it to. I've been a mechanic, fabricator, welder, truck driver, light & heavy duty towing & recovery person forever. Well maybe not forever but I started helping build an over the road hay hauler in 1966. In 1967 I taught my power mechanics instructor how to weld. Oh for the good old days.

[@tabortollefson]

As a former aerospace machinist, I am horrified and super impressed at the same time.

[@skyespye6053]

I do love that bench lathe. 60 years ago working in the oil field 80 miles from the nearest part store in Colorado we used to have to make a lot of “get it done right now Tools and parts. You brought back a lot of fun memories!

[@edwinleach7401]

I love how you have all these cool machines, motorcycles, Trucks, cars, etc all over your drive way and you know how to fix anything.

[@DieselCreek]

Well when you have all that stuff it’s far too expensive to pay someone else to fix it. You learn out of necessity

[@mattminahan7376]

Not stupid if your idea works. Your videos help me stay motivated to keep working towards some machine's of my own. Keep them coming😁

[@ricklarouche4105]

I remember as a kid having a rusty lawnmower gas tank and trying to figure out how to clean it out!? My Uncle Doyle came by and said here this will work, as we headed to the drive way. He selected a hand full of clean marble size stones and added them to the tank. We then put the cap on and shook it for a while and dumped out the nasty gas, and stones to find inside a perfectly clean tank... old school cleaned! 👍

[@20havenfun08]

A lot of work keeping that old equipment running... We had backhoes, bulldozer, draglines, dump trucks over the years.... my hats off to y’all... Be safe, thanks for the video’s:)

[@DecDude84]

“You wouldn’t believe how well that fit!” Needed that good chuckle today, thanks.

[@MrVailtown]

Over the years I scrounge top loader washing machines. Three nice unmolested sides, make beautiful covers, reflect sun so items under don't get hot. Make nice hoods/engine covers.

[@DieselCreek]

That's a great idea!

[@Yurindeep]

That wobble before you turned it on had me shouting "What are you doing, Matt?!" at my monitor. But then as you explained it, I remembered the saying, "If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid" You obviously survived to upload the video, so great job!

I'd put a kickstand on your half a barrel engine cover. If a gust of wind blew that closed while your arm or head were in the way, that would be bad.

Ever wonder where the saying " blind as a welder's dog" came about ? I always make sure my four rescue dogs are not around to look at the welding arc.

[@DieselCreek]

A- I’ve never heard that term and I’ve been around machine shops and pipeline construction for 10+ years now B- after looking at the videos typically the dogs are good about looking away on their own. I used to really worry about that

Sometimes it just takes a few years to get a project together, just shows you know how to stick with something no matter how long it takes. And is there anything better than an excavator, you can do so much with them. It's a bucket list want for me. I got spoiled using them at the quarry for everything, and left a big hole in my personal life LOL I like our old Case the best for sentimental reasons, but the 300, and 400 Komatsu's are so good.

[@briancasey4917]

[@eformance]

My experience with those little kubota engines is that you ALWAYS have to use the glow plugs before start. IIRC, they are indirect injection and are hard to start when not absolutely hot, without the glow plugs. Turn the key left 20-30s and then right, they fire right away.

[@DieselCreek]

I’ve had that experience with some but my skid steer has a Kubota and it fires right up no glow plugs

[@Michael_CS615]

Bench lathe.... did exactly that recently to make a smooth finish on some corroded aluminum fishing reel parts using a drill drive and wet and dry paper!

[@haydenuk02]

Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content

[@peewee.3138]

A little chunk of fine chain like a dog leash in the tank with some diesel will help get all the rusty scale out.

[@6point5by55]

Good tip. Thanks.

[@kwinterburn]

We used to use a handful of small steel nuts got the inside polished, same thing with concrete mixer before storage capfull of used oil when its clean and rerun for a few minutes, no rust and a tin full of old notes ready for the next job

[@bobbyblizzard8488]

[@edwinleach7401]

I get it. Finally. Its a roller - the thing that rolls down asphalt and dirt. Great. Hope you get it going. I''m sure you will.

[@richardsharp6875]

that was some really great jury rigging, I worried about the balance of your part after the "lathe". The only difference between the men and the boys is the cost of their toys!!

[@PaulBarwick]

I like your tank cleaning method. I do something similar when I buy large jars of "old fashioned" peanut butter - the oil always separates and rises to the top while on the store shelves. I buy a couple of jars, put them into my saddlebags and take my motorcycle on a nice long ride on a road with a lot of tight turns. When I get home the oil is always back in the solution just like it should be.
