loader transmission service and replace leaking oil line

starting to get some of the issues fixed with the old ford a64 loader

[@JamesWilson-bw5uq]

Hi EZ, I've been insured for a good while, I didn't realize it. Back now enjoying your vids. I'm a75 yr old retired guy, I've got some many yrs in the owner operator deal. Back then I couldn't have a conventional cab because every state had their own bridge laws. They hammered me on the 55' length law. So I had cabovers. My last one was a ken worth with a double sleeper and penthouse . a/c she was a luxury model to me as I ran corn binders before. She was used of course but I redid my interior my self. I also was able to do a six stage paint renew job on it and it was very nice. She had a 12 cylinder Detroit which just had an out of frame major by Ken worth dealershio. Chrome dual stacks done by old owner. Aluminum wheels. Of course I had to polish em but they gleamed. Nut covers and chrome caps. Triple blue paint. I was so happy with her, I could run with the big dogs of the time. Amazing power compared to my previous 318, and 290 cummins. I ran her till I retired. Sold her and my three fruhaulf trailers, one reefer & two flatbeds. I always wanted a conventional pete, but the length law of 55' kept me in a cab over I could pull a 42' reefer and at 55'. I couldn't get any hauls with a 40' set of trailers. I live on the east coast and hauled slot into NYC Philly, Buffalo, Cleveland etc. Then don't I know after I was out of the business they changed the bridge laws I think the feds took over regulation. Then we saw the cab overs dissappear. Its nice to get your vids back, I love them and enjoy watching you work on your stuff. Keep em coming Ezra!!!!

You know that loader is old school by the ash tray. Great job btw I’m sure Greta is proud of you.

[@johnzirbes5460]

I was thinking the same thing

[@skenic1952]

Awesome catch on the oil filter. It must amaze you the level of incompetence out there servicing equipment. Your expertise and intelligence is something I wish I could find when I bring my stuff in to be fixed. Dream on, right. Take care buddy.

[@marysoldeeley2218]

Great catch with the filter. Little bit of maintenance goes a long way. Greta was happy the oil drip is gone, but then you went and did laps. HAHAHAaa! Thanks for the video!!

[@BlindBatG34]

I flinched when you pulled that drain plug. I’ve been enjoying binge watching your videos lately. Cheers!

[@troyarneson3280]

We all need to go to the shop for a clean up day. Maybe build some shelves for storage,work bench to work on, come on let’s help a brother out. But wait until it’s warm out.

[@michelgodin5563]

Love it when you do maintenance

[@donrotenberry6571]

Great Job Ezra. Glad you found the problem with the Oil Filter. That loader looks to be in pretty good shape.Take Care & Be Safe.

[@stovebolt448]

Hi Ezra how's it going? Well if ya get a big bunch of protesters out in front of your shop, you know Greta was not amused.😁 Good catch on the oil filter, thought it looked goofy when ya pulled it out, yeah it should have come with a new O-ring. Ok thanks for taking the time and doing the video, take care see ya next one.

[@scatpack01]

I was wondering who else was gonna catch that! That was funny

[@rmbuser]

Awesome video and thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice job with the maintenance Ezra! 🙂👍 Glad to see an upload from you 🔧

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks Zane more to come. Stay safe and take care

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Enjoyed your show Ezra, I know that ford loader is in good hands, so I'll catch ya on the next one.

[@billywhite3020]

I like how you fix things

[@caveone-365]

...and I thought it was cold here in NY! It looks damn chilly up there in the Dakota's man!!! 😳😬 Nice work on that machine brother 👍

[@stevezwemer1262]

Good save on the filter plumbing Nice work Details make a difference!!

[@dougburton1999]

EZ, I’m pretty handy. I work on all my trucks myself. But I would have NEVER known about the crossed tranny lines. Cheers brother…

[@adco]

Pretty handy feller!!! 👍🏆

[@MySynthDungeon]

Coffees on brother!! Lets getter done!! Cheers!;-)!! ,,Gretta ,,,, lol !

[@ronaldlarue1107]

I'd be suspect of slightly low trans / charge pressure. Weak Trans pump? Because of additional revving. Could trans filter housing been installed 180° out?

[@Ezrider359]

Converter seems to stall right around the specified rpm I have a mechanical gauge ordered to check the actual pressure. I think its a inaccurate gauge reading still good to service it and that filter most definitely would have eventually caused a major issues if it hadn't been found and addressed

[@j.c.smithprojects]

good way to push filter materials through huh? looks like she was rolling around pretty good. do you think the trans was starved for fluid at some point?

[@Ezrider359]

Definitely not good on the filter. Doesn't seem there was any damage done. As the transmission still functions fine. Without recording I did later pull the valve body off the transmission as that is the next thing in the fluid flow path from the filter it was clean and no filter material. The gauge reading was unchanged by the service so I ordered a mechanical gauge in the specified range to test if it actually has low clutch application pressure or not. If it does I'd suspect the charge pump is getting weak as I checked the pressure regulator valve and inching control while I had the valve body off and the gauge reading is the same no matter what gear position is selected. If it was a leaking piston I would expect to only see low application pressure in one position. I highly suspect I'll find iv been chasing a ghost when I get the mechanical gauge.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

@@Ezrider359 i think your right. i like to confirm when known good gauges before i dig too deep as well. fingers crossed that is the case. regardless it works just fine.

[@hoists1829]

Awesome video

[@Ezrider359]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lorijohn101]

Great job. How could someone own an expensive machine like that and not do simple maintenance. Maintenance is cheap compared to repairs.

[@tomgriffith1952]

As always nice work!

[@rosco0567]

Thanks from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tater_relocater]

Hi , did the trans pressure come up with the fluid and filter change?

[@Ezrider359]

Not according to the gauge iv got a mechanical gauge ordered to varify the actual pressure. I highly suspect the gauge to be inaccurate

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video man 👍

[@mikeshultz1007]

Did you purchase the loader mainly for pushing snow or do you have other intentions for the machine?

[@Ezrider359]

Mainly bought it for lifting and loading. It will be useful for other things as well.

[@philglover2973]

Awesome video thanks Ezra are you going to paint the loader🚜🇬🇧🇺🇲

[@Ezrider359]

Not sure yet

[@nightrider6769]

Hey EZRA is this an older video? I thought you got rid of that loader?

[@Ezrider359]

Your probably thinking of the tow truck. Still have the loader

[@nightrider6769]

Oh Jesus you're right I confuse the two I don't know how I did that Glad that the loader is still with you.

[@buddyreed2623]

Is it possible to put an adapter on the transmission drain to allow the fluid to flow down instead of outward?

[@Ezrider359]

the plug is npt so yeah you could probably thread a elbow on there and then put the plug in, probably wouldn't be a awful idea.

[@sethramey9923]

What oil did you use in the transmission? I have an A62 and looking to do a full service on it

[@louisroman7134]

Thanks for sharing.

[@norcalray7182]

So what's under the hood of the loader?

[@Ezrider359]

ford 6 cyl 401ci diesel engine

[@garygeer7646]

😎👌

Hey love what u do do u still have the chevy van

Nope sold that a bit over a year ago now

What's up EZ ?

DD speed shop? DD speed shop? DD speed shop?? Zip ties and bias plies!!

[@nightsailor1]

I Like oil. I like being oily. I like the smell, the feel, the taste, the promise. I like it when the the oil runs down my arm over my elbow into my armpit. I like my clothes oily. Like a sponge. I like my shoes to squish in oil. Oh, wait. I'm not Ezrider.

[@Vickyvee97]

Eww get that ashtray dumped at least. It seems every Ford I've been in seems to have accouple of old Smigarettes' in the ashtray. 🤢
