Cole that is a quick coupler so you don’t have to drive out those pins every time you want to change buckets. That one looks manual instead of hydraulic. I’d put that sucker on.

[@Tessil666]

ye if you keep switching attachments frequently on a project it saves time, goes between the arm and the attachment

[@dantaylor8886]

it looks a bit big for his size machine ... look at pin spacing

[@Mrpatrick5915]

It certainly is, saves you lots of time

[@formerfarmer1718]

For a time I was a parts man in a new car dealership and, with that knowledge I’ve gotten pretty much immune to parts price shock. Making, transporting and selling parts is pretty much like having a license to print money! And it’s all the same. Automotive, farm machinery, et al. One time I needed a 12v blower motor for my combine cab and it cost me $400!!😳

Im an orthopedic trauma surgeon and farmer who found your channel while looking up " how to install H braces for fence repairs" while I was off work in January recovering from knee replacement surgery. I had my partner do it then so I'd be ready for spring field work and planting. Encourage your father in law to stay compliant with his PT, and he'll have a great result like I have. Ive been able to do field tile repair with my excavator that I couldn't do in the previous years because of knee arthritis. It's great being useful and reliable again. What started out as a diversion recovering from surgery has turned me into a fan of your videos. We're 20% done with planting ourselves. Stay safe during planting season.

Welcome…..glad you found the channel.

@17:46 I have a Case as well. What you have there Cole is the quick attachment coupler. Same thing on a Bobcat. It saves ya about 20 minutes changing out attachments manually. Remove the bucket, uses the same 2 pins, then its click on to attach the new head and repeat the process for changing to the new bucket or what other Case attachment that is part of that series backhoe. Learn how to use it. Saves time.

[@danflynn1259]

I sure see why you wanted Stola station to survive. Hope others are using it so it will be there for years to come.

What a great day for repairs!! The "world" does NOT realize how versatile a farmer has to be. Mechanic, carpenter, mason, electrician, welder, and many more. Cole you are learning from the BEST teacher. Sorry for the expense, but such a valuable training lesson in today's farming. You guys are the best! So glad Ellie has a new little friend!

[@kenlynch6332]

Glad to see that Ellie has accepted Sony. Wishing your FIL a quick speedy painless recovery. I am surprised that the bottle-fed calf doesn't follow you home. As always a great vlog with excellent commentary. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄🌽🌽🌽🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜

So true..I thought of that too❤..cute little baby....😊

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Well, the filter leaking on your Case was great news for you, congrats on that and on the pen. Whoa, $88 for that pen is ridiculous, but I guess your dad didn't have much of a choice. Good luck with the planting and with the mini excavator. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Brian & Cole… that pin looks identical to a pin I just bought at John Deere… $260!! Only mine goes in frame of 946 hydra-swing Mower/Conditioner. (MOÇO). 🤨…. After watching rest of video… the pin I needed was a little fatter and a little shorter, and instead of shiny, is all painted with expensive John Deere green Paint. 😆

Cole, you have one of those "Millennial Farmer" batteries in that excavator. 😂

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was very interesting and enjoyable. Your video today had a big variety of farm items on it. Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to your father in law, Kevin on his knee surgery. You take care sir. That pin that broke on your planter was a big one. Never seen that break before. Brian said it was over $80 for that pin-wow!!!! Glad you got it going again. Sonny is really playing more and more with Allie. They make good playmates. Sonny is the cutest little dog!!!!!!!!!!!! Your digger machine had some issues but you and dad got them figured out. Having to take the radiator out to remove the battery is not good engineering I agree Cole. Glad you got the oil leak figured out. The filter seal you said, good going Cole. Like that calf catcher you have on the gator. It works really good. Keeps you safe from the mother cow. The calf you are bottle feeding sure knows when you are coming. It is really attached to you now Cole. Nice calf. About it I guess. Thanks for everything. You both take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Lot's of puns today along with the disassembly of the Case Mini Excavator which seems torturous. The appearance of the Corgi puppy was a pleasant moment.

Current engineering for vehicles, and equipment is pathetic. I just had to have a starter replaced in a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The engine had to be lifted after removing the exhaust manifolds to get to it. Reminds me on your battery placement, even the oil filter for that matter. Prayer going up for Kevin for a speedy recovery. I love watchin Ellie play with the pup. So funny.

Cole, I had 2 knee replacements 10 years ago (both knees) during the couple last years they had to change the right one three times because of infection. Very hard to get rid of the infection once it is infected. They ended up cutting the balls of the trivia and femur and they placed 2 round bars of metal to rebuild the knee. Be careful with yours. Say hi to your old man!

As for your FIL Kevin, starting in February 2009, I had both hips and rt knee replaced, with left knee scoped. Bad arthritis. So hopefully medical innovation has made knee replacement more comfortable for the receiver. My Prayers are with him. My PT told me hips are EZ, knees are bad and shoulders are the worst. Good pain meds go a long way. Take them as directed and don't say, I'll skip this one. I took some strong meds and tapered off with out any lingering issues.
