[@scooter01922]

I second the starting spray. It works great and evaporates so quick you can hose the little buggers down and have a dry cab in less than a minute AND not cover everything in poison to then cover yourself in. Besides, who doesn't have a couple cans with them when trying to resurrect something in the weeds?

[@edpoints1127]

Brake clean, carb cleaner, starting fluid.... All good wasp/hornet sprays. And... You most likely have them right there

Not a crescent wrench, it is an adjustable metric wrench. ;)

When storing it is best to retract all the rams possible, this eliminates rust forming on the rods and returning oil to the tank leaves less room for condensation in the tank

Hank, I would enjoy watching you making those Hyd. repairs. I'm sure "BIG'UN" will get-r-done.

This one needs to be saved and restored.

[@excursionlimousineservice2203]

Great video! Yes let’s see the pump swap!!

[@jimlondon1]

Those Samsung excavators were a very good machine. They had lovely smooth hydraulics, great for detailing and finishing work and they were very strong. It'd be definitely worth repairing. They have become quite a sought-after machine for restoration here in the UK.

[@roblong6518]

Got to see the machine move and dig again. Hank you've always got wasp spray with you, if you've got a can of starting fluid, (ether) it's puts wasps into a permanent deep sleep. Good job, and waiting to watch it move now.👍

[@russelltrupia4479]

My first thought when I saw the size of this machine was Hank is going to need a BIG Adjustable wrench.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

lol for sure

[@patrickhenry550]

Why is the pump automatically being blamed ? Sounds like it’s low on oil and sucking air for sure but those Kawasaki hydraulic pumps are very tough . Did y’all preform a flow test under pressure to determine the pump was at fault?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

you're a smart man....this video was filmed about a month ago. We think it might actually be a valve control versus the pump. We are going back out there on the 6th.

[@patrickhenry550]

If everything is weak it could be one of the main relief valves it might have one for each side of the pump . That pump is actually 3 pumps all built together. Two high flow pumps for all of the functions and the pilot pressure pump on the back of it for all of the controls. but if it is just one function that is weak check the circuit reliefs on that function. You need some gauges and tees and flow meters that will go up to about 60gpm to really do some serious testing.

[@patrickhenry550]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm If there is a way to send me a private message on here I could possibly give y’all some pointers but I’m not that well versed with KZbin.

[@richhowe7193]

The travel motors use the same pumps as boom, dipper & bucket so I’d say that the pumps aren’t the problem. Need to find if both travel motors don’t work and if it’s both directions. If you’ve got no travel at all you should see if there’s any pressure going to small valve block mounted to the travel levers. You would need around 40bar pressure to this block. If you’re getting limited travel power it could leaking pressure back to tank through the rotary coupling. First job, put some hydraulic oil in it!!

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

Hank said: be amazing to get this thing started with just Cresent wrench. 🤣

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

[@johnking8679]

We used to call the Crescent wrench a " Shifting Spanner" in the old country (formerly Rhodesia).

[@cj7fun579]

Yeah, Lets see ya'll do a pump swap. You guys are making good progress. Can't believe that a steel line let go like that, must be a bad o-ring at the fitting that dried out.

[@brian_2040]

I'm sure you have this figured out, but that red handle actually puts hydraulic pressure on the controls.

[@randywright7433]

I'd love to see this machine come back to full life!

[@TheIronDuke502]

I have a new appreciation for Crescent Wrenches after watching your videos. A video regarding the hydraulic pump replacement would be interesting. Did the metal line have a hole or was it split? I have brazed pinholes on the metal lines before, with about 50% success. It depends on what condition the metal tubing is in and the type of hole that I was trying to braze.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I think we can braze it. 👍

[@TheIronDuke502]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm You have to get all of the paint ground off leaving bare metal. If there is any hydraulic fluid in the metal tubing - The heat will immediately draw the hydraulic fluid into the area being repaired. Good Luck.

[@MrCountrybutler]

It sure would be cool, to see this digger up and running

[@vk4frik1]

In Australia we call the Cresent Wrench a "FAFS" - Fits all F****** Sizes. Keep up all the good videos.

[@darrenroles737]

Sounds like the pump cavitating to me 👍

[@glennfryer1539]

Yes it’s scavenging for oil I was cringing with the noise, a blown seal or cracked pipe on the valve block personally just would shut the engine down, instead of dumping oil everywhere..I wonder how much hydraulic was in the tank before starting it up !!!!

[@livingstonexcavation732]

Hank let's see that pump swamp. 😁😁

[@chuckcompton3622]

Great video! I would like to see the pump swap….

[@3DThrills]

Those 'Do Not Operate' signs are no joke. When I was a fisherman in the Florida Keys, a working boat anchored up while a deckhand dove in to clear the prop of rope. Another boat tied up alongside while they were taking a break. The 'diver' asked if the visiting captain would also like his prop checked for rope, while he was there. "Yeah, sounds great!" he replied. Then, after he was done gabbing, the visiting boat cast off and pulled away, totally forgetting about the diver whose arms were entangled in his prop. The man was rescued and sent to the hospital, with his mangled hands.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Wow!!!

[@christophergrimes12]

I would like to see a part 2 on this

[@swampratt36]

If that pump has enough ass to bust a hose , I'd be checking solenoids and valves before replacing a pump . Start with some diagnostics , opening pressure etc . Obviously the pump is still good .

[@ripstephenhawking8787]

Yall gotta revisit this ol girl once yall are ready to get her digging.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

lol that would be something wouldn’t it!

[@ctdieselnut]

Final drives don't break at the same time. Unless one was broke and they were limping it around and the other eventually broke, but probably not, you should ask the owner. If I were working on it I'd trace the controls from the pedals to the valves and then see if it has it's own dedicated hyd pump circuit. The cavitation sounds horrid, could be screens and filters plugged, could just be low on fluid. I'd love to get that thing cheap and fix it. It's worth 5k in scrap, at the very least, but it likely will be worth more, even in the shape its in.

[@richards091]

I just love those Crescent wrenches Hank!!

[@jameslcoble248]

I'd honestly like to see the pump replaced. I would suggest that the owner not only replace the pump, but it probably wouldn't hurt to replace all the lines. I know that it would be costly, but I believe it would be well worth it in the end. Especially for how long it's been sitting.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks James!

[@mtbslacker3588]

If one of the pumps are bad you should be missing half the functions. At least that's how Caterpillars work. You got my vote for a pump repair/replace video!

Well one thing y’all doin wrong is usin that SAE crescent wrench on korean equipment. Get ya a metric adjustable for these kinda jobs, things’ll go a lot smoother.

Good feedback

[@ronfrance4041]

How’s he get away with banging that crescent wrench off the metal when tightening the positive? I have seen it a time or two where the paints insulation value was the only thing that saved someone haha

[@frazzledude]

It is best to connect and tighten the positive terminal first. That way, if the wrench happens to touch part of the metal chassis there will be no short circuit because the negative terminal is still not connected to the battery. Then when the negative terminal is finally connected it doesn’t matter if the wrench touches the frame because the negative terminal is connected to ground anyway.
