120 looks great u should be proud of yourself by doing the work on the machine you saved a lot of money

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@lordpickle8424]

She's a beaut. The 120 is the machine I learned to run an excavator on too. Took a heavy equipment course with 7 other guys (and 5 other machines) and those memories will last the rest of my life. Almost shed a tear watching it leave the shop too, lol.

[@tomwold5366]

Awesome job keeping the old school machine in top shape... Great catch on the oil leak..!!! It pays to keep maintenance up on it because it makes money when it works and cost money when it breaks down in the middle of a job and it never fails it's at the worst time....

[@casycasy5199]

great job gunner on changing the oil, and sweeping up the shop.thats how you first learn keep the shop clean, watching dad fix equipment, ask questions.nice job dp and mbts

[@genedixon9523]

Enjoyable series/project to watch. Thank you for sharing.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching

[@marknewell7355]

Nothing better than self satisfaction great catch on the leak and also fantastic money saving imagine a shop price for that work. I love a good project

[@everestyeti]

I think we all have one piece of kit that is our favourite, from your John Deere 120, to something simple like a vice that belonged to a great uncle, I have just spent 3 days bringing back to life. He use it in his workshop now I can use it in mine. Like you say Aaron is a good guy who knows his stuff. Nice to see you were encouraging child labour, Gunner with the broom and his sister with the camera.

[@silentepsilon888]

besides having this machine done and ready to work I bet you are also glad to have that work space back in your workshop. 7 months is a long time having to work around a sitting machine.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes on both

[@tangowhisky14]

Huge thanks guys for a brilliant video. Epic drumroll not cheesy at all.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Jim

[@CaptainKleeman]

This is awesome and something to be proud of. And for the record, despite what some are saying on here, I’ve never seen a door, a seat, or gallons of paint move dirt or pay the bills. Excited to get back in this girl and move some material.

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Captain Kleeman hey now what about that recliner you always talk about at work... I think that makes you money doesn’t it?

[@CaptainKleeman]

JasonWorksAlot valid point 😂

[@DirtPerfect]

lol

[@glennhunter7018]

Good video again I always like shop videos Y’all 2 work good together good good mechanic work I am glad you got the excavator together it’s about time to put it on the job I am happy for you be safe in this crazy world

[@UpstateBrushControl]

[@DirtPerfect]

[@gordonryan1674]

Great to see Macy & Gunner learning how to do an oil charge on the go kart great video :)

[@dougyurecko6500]

Great job, the line boring was good ti watch. You guys work good together.

[@bonniedobkin6948]

Thanks for the GREAT SERIES . Being meticulous with the oil leak ..... it really paid off in dividends to find you avoided CATASTROPHIC EVENTS in the timing cover, 🧨💰🔧🎥📽

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Digginok]

Good to see the 120 back at it! Nice work

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@rongetz5895]

Glad to see the old girl back in service! Great content Mike 👍👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Ron

[@johnlothridge5899]

I always get a laugh and a smile when I watch your videos. I have enjoyed watching you fix the old girl up and hear that motor purr like it does. No clanking when you move all the parts which is very impressive. Great job guys! Can't wait to see her in action.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@chrishelms1967]

Nice to see it finally done

[@djwakley670]

Mike you do have good friends to help you with all the repairs on the 120 nothing runs like a DEERE

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks and yes I do

[@markkenes4848]

Finally !!!!! Great to see the old girl out and she has a lot more in her that's for sure. You need another one of those lights on the back !! Be like daylight all around you at night. Great job done on her and yes a big thanks to all that put time in making the ol girl new again. Excellent job done ***** can't Waite to see her rippin dirt again.

[@stevenrichey5068]

Wow..lot's of great work...and just look at those Windows....I'm glad you finely got it finished... Now to make some money to pay for it all..even Man Behind The Seans

[@jennyoreilly5980]

March 24.Y'all have come a long way. Thanks for sharing.

[@chadhutchins646]

Great machine. Great work and great friends 👏🏻

[@tomwainwright7102]

I`ve said it before ,I`ll say again , good watch.I used to work in a shop, there`s no more satisfying feeling than seeing a long,painstaking project leave the workshop 110% better than when it went in, and that one did.

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree

[@bertrutledge4546]

Heck of a project, she needed all the attention she got. Noticed that Gunner is learning well, he was bored and grabbed a broom and swept the floor. Jason, Captain, MBTS and you all did a lot of work and none of it looked easy. Looking forward to the first job the 120 does.

[@tt7hvn]

I have the exact same excavator. A lot of your videos have helped me perform so much maintenance myself.

[@DirtPerfect]

Good deal awesome

[@andymoss3132]

Well it finally lives to see another year of work. Hope it serves you well DP. Lot of blood sweat and tears sitting there. Make a man proud.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@davidmays5231]

Congratulations on finishing the rebuild. Will give you good service.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@dvdadaudits7500]

Good job! You made a helicopter mechanic proud. Hope the machine runs long and makes you a ton of money

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@morgansword]

I am very happy to see it back in the field doing what it is supposed to do.... Now clean up the shop cause its only days till something else cries its my turn in the "Infirmary" and of course just when your a happy ahead, its back to bologna sandwiches cause the parts bills just never stop. Pick a color that you like for a company color and paint all the equipment the same or do a mural that points out the business and how to catch you on which phone. I could live in that shop... mechanics always spend most of the time in the field getting stuff out of trouble so shop time means a lot and great times between you and Aron

[@edwardjacob2900]

Have the same Milwaukee set and love it. Great job on getting machine done. Don’t worry about paint. PAINT DON’T MAKE MONEY. Ready to see that first scoop

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks and exactly

[@chazco]

This has been a great series. Fun to watch you all work and laugh while tackling this beast.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@gerardbducoudray1354]

Mike, if you epoxy a small magnet on the oil plug, it will tell you the volume of 'metal' between oil change... JD weld works well! Clean plug and magnet with ether... G

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Congratulations sir. I can barely tell how happy you were. I really didn't know if I was gonna live long enough to see this project completed. That was a marathon but, the boys came through for ya. Good job everyone.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks buddy

[@Justinsr1983]

Great video I think the dialogue between you and the man behind the scenes is a welcome addition being that I do the same things you do on a daily basis hauling equipment,and excavation it’s a nice break up in the filming keep up the good work.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@travismarett7100]

Loved seeing Gunner sweeping the floor. Always good to teach them hard work and life skills. Good job and good dad.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@SuperIanjohnson]

Great work on her, team. I look forward to seeing her back in actiion now ! I have really enjoyed watching you work on her, the banter has been brilliant. I loved seeing Gunner sweeping up !

[@paulr5875]

Nice to see it’s finally done! Great work!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@peterbishop1933]

Very good job but just as I was typing this i was going to say it's a pity the seat wasn't recovered 😕. Looking good and a lot of effort from all who helped 👍 best of luck with it

[@kevinkenyon7045]

What a crew, talented hard workers and Great friends. Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching

[@danielpullum1907]

You guys are the "captains of DIY". Well Done!!!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@keithdalton3004]

Thanks Mike 😊

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Wow that is a beautiful view from your house and I wasn't just talking about the machine you showed a view down the hill for a bit and man that's pretty I just subscribed today love the vids man I live in Petersburg Indiana so we are kinda neighbors lol God bless you and your family

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@barrymcbride]

That was the best series that you have had on the channel. Not taking any thing away from all the other ones. Great work Mike 👌.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Barry

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron

[@davidmeynen8120]

nice work mike nice to see your kept the old deere

[@tomglidden7938]

Great to see it finally finished. Great series.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@ronalddavis439]

It's been fun watching you guys working on the Deere.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@chefbobbysponge3833]

Your kids are very helpful! Good to see a next gen. getting involved.

[@raymondsyphers4239]

Great job mike and all involved with making the 120 great again. Some things you just don’t get rid of. Ray from Oregon

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks ray

[@geraldheitman7687]

you certainly had a great experienced team working on the 140 !!

[@williamstentzsr.9568]

Nothing run like a Deere...I own one myself. A tractor, love it. Its 40 hp. with loader. Pre emissions.

[@waltermattson5566]

It actually did bring tears to my eyes seeing it go back outside.going through the test moves.

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@ec1414ec]

I've really enjoyed these videos, you two always have a laugh, it puts a smile on my face, ty

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

7 months! That's like giving birth. :) Glad to see the 120 is back up and running.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@oldskoolgooner]

Loved this ! Thank you for sharing

[@bobsmith6484]

it was nice seeing your kids changing the oil most kids don't know how to even check the oil you are doing a great job of teaching them how to take care of there toys great job on fixing the oil leak

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks bob

[@JDseller1]

GOOD JOB MIKE !!!!! Now you will have to relearn how to run it without all the wiggle!!! LOL It will be harder to shake the dirt out of the bucket now. I know what you mean about some machines just getting the job done. I have a JD 4440 I bought almost new. It has over 20K hours on it now. I keep it in good condition as even it being "small" for todays jobs, it still is dependable.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job guys

[@curtisricks9043]

Good one Mike, love your variety in the videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@michaelsailors7794]

Can't wait to see the ol girl digging dirt!! Congratulations on getting her freshened up. She'll make you proud and be as reliable as ever. Great video and look forward to the first job with the 120

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@goodboyringo9716]

You guys are pretty good at finding new parts . I've watched many video of the 120 being fixed and I must say it did need some work but you've did a great job on her.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks 👍

[@TomJones-zm3kz]

You all did a great job!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@ronwendt]

it,s great to see her ready to work again !! now for some new decals lol......great work to all of you !

[@loganrench5680]

Pizza and beer is always nice after long day working

[@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931]

Cheers 🍻 to that👍🏻

[@KG-yn9qi]

The shop gave birth! Funny how a wood building conceived a metal machine! Mystery of the world. Did you have to stitch it up after?

[@Kempfkattle]

Awesome work you guys!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@gerardbducoudray1354]

Fill up the gap between garage and driveway to prevent concrete from cracking...

[@donaldwingate5849]

Great job guys.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@kristystaats8390]

Great job repairing it

[@davidhughes1634]

Well done guys, she up n running look forward to seeing her in action 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@davewebb5737]

The only bit you have missed it putting a bit of paint on the counter weight Good job on the machine I am pleased for you 😜

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@mountainviews5025]

Awesome guys and we can't wait to see her working again thumbs up my friends

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@johnhenderson8360]

A contractor would go broke if he (or she) couldn't make some of the repairs themselves (with a lot of help from some talented friends). Great Job!!1

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree and thanks

[@seanpierce7673]

Great job! You got a great crew. Especially those kids. That gunner what a kid saw him grab that broom and clean up! 👏 was he asked to or on his own? He is a good kid. Awspme job dad.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great camera job Macy

[@barryhansen6854]

I see Macy was wearing the right t-shirt at the start with the title Mini Boss written on it. Great series Mike and thanks to all the worker that made this happen.

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks Barry and appreciate all the comments

[@NotJustaTool]

Nothin runs like a Deere. Especially a Dirt Better Than Perfect overhaul with WorksAlot coring and MBTS welding. The old girl is better than new. May she go 120 years or 12,000 hours, whichever comes first. G1. Cheers!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol Keith

[@johnwagoner2279]

DP, had a construction friend die crawling under a piece of hydrolic equipment without bracing. Seeing you under the skid loader forks set my teeth on edge. Stay safe!

[@mikenixon9164]

Time too make money. Good thing Aaron was there to loosen that counterweight bolt. LOL.

[@CaptKirk1701]

Great job, best part is there is no payment on that machine!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks and exactly

[@justinweaver8787]

Glad to see that you use Lucas that stuff is amazing I use it n everything

[@BlueDually4x4]

Yeah that was a lot of good luck finding those loose bolts on the pump, cause one of them in the gears would have been a real pricey fix. Always feels good to get a machine back up and running again, you can always give it a little paint in the winter if it slows down a little.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes it was

[@williammatthews2948]

I've been looking forward to this day almost as much as the kids. Lol. Seriously though, I'm happy the 120 is done, and I can't wait to see it get muddy. Y'all have a blessed and safe weekend. Stay healthy.

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks buddy

[@huskiesgo5944]

DC-4 is a silicon grease that works great on o rings and paper gaskets. Never had a gasket leak and they peal off clean when they have to come off.

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@alexosborne5629]

Wahey, cracking job there Mike!!! You are right to thank the hard work of Aaron, Jason and Todd too, without them I think it would take you a lot longer as you would only have very limited time to work on her. You are right not to splash out on paint as she is an oldie, maybe if she earns her keep in a couple of years or so, then it may be worth looking into. In time, Macy and Gunner may learn to operate this too !!!

[@andrewcorrell7514]

Great vid fellas!! Must be hard now with MBTS back at his real job. No expert advise anymore😂 only if we could all be as cool as Aaron. Have a great weekend guys!!

[@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931]

👍🏻💪🏼🤩👨‍🔧

[@mcd5082]

You guys work well together. Awesome video

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@marrygoround5038]

Also a big like from me but have to agree that decals and paint need to be done thats a must. COME ON MIKE and I also agree a bit less random filming would be nice used to cover a lot more stuff. Just saying still supporting and no hard feelings

[@normfergus8472]

Great series of really interesting videos just shows what's possible with a group of talented people willing to give it a go. Love to know what it cost and also what it would have cost for a dealer to have done the work!!

[@DirtPerfect]

I am sure double what I got in it

[@ROTTK9]

while you have it open might as well check for other things worked out in your favor. MBTS - don't worry about the kids bugging you to get the job done, they have been around heavy equipment their whole lives.... *snickers

[@ivyblake6049]

Great video love you too working together ❤️

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931]

Thank you

[@michaelkoop6731]

That's the way, when ur gut tells u that u should do something u should do it saved u 20,000 on rebuilding the motor. Great videos have watched all of them, laughing with u and at u. Ur both great thanks Mike for doing ur videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching and the comments buddy

[@joycefuller9177]

[@jimwesselman]

Ohh... that was great!! Thank you for letting us be a part of the makeover! Just one item left, would you put a little oil on the door?🤨

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks jim
