[@localcrew]

On creaky old machines with cast iron transmission cases like this unit, I recommend taking a big-ass magnet from an old electric motor and stick it on the side of the case near the bottom where it won’t get knocked off if you run over a log. And by “log”, of course I mean “hobo”. Friend used to run a scrap yard and of course I could get all the magnets. Super handy for picking up nails & fasteners. 👍

Um, Matt. If you loosen all the bolts on the cover a turn, then pry out the bottom, it'll usually keep most of the fluid draining fairly straight down, and considerably more slowly. Just a thought. LOL Oh, or you could use the drain plug first. I also wear a shop rag tied around my wrist when working on any fluid container (gas/oil/coolant) to keep it off my armpits when working upside down. When it's cold, I usually put the lube container into a bucket and surround it with hot water. It sure makes it easier to pour! // The thrust bearing is a bad omen. Eek!

Matt when you change the final drive oil alone use a grease pen or chalk and mark the tread of the tire corresponding to the drain and fill. that way you can save some getting in and out of the cab. Even duct tape will work.

When having to orient a wheel at a specific location, I've learned it's easiest to mark the outside of the tire with chalk. That way when you're in the cab, you can look at the tire as it comes around for a 1 or 2 as indicators of first and second stage of the task. Hopefully that helps in other applications too.

As a farmer, man am I glad I have a friend that owns a shop that does hydraulic hose fabrication.

Would have easily been a $4000 + project but instead I'm going to fill in a pond for my friend. I love the old barter system! Good catch on that one hose rubbing on the angle iron!

22:10 High pressure means a relief valve isn't relieving or a passage downstream of the sensor/gauge is partially blocked. Red herring chasing plugged filters that, if anything, would cause a low pressure problem.

[@fhuber7507]

Also, some people have been known to shim the relief valves to get higher pressure. The way that has been run hard with minimal maintenance, I would not doubt they shimmed the reliefs. I know a few light duty machines people do that to, when the correct answer is to get a different machine that can actually handle the job. (I'd rather adjust the reliefs to the low end of appropriate range. Less likely to break something.)

[@TestECull]

@@fhuber7507 Ye I'm the same way about backing the reliefs off below the breaking point of anything else. This shit ain't cheap even when it's old scrap like this and I don't have the pocketbook to be blowing pump seals and hydro lines all the time. Or potentially tip the thing over. I'd rather the relief valves kick in before any of that happens.

[@danielputnam7191]

Love your videos, Matt. When draining differentials or "pumpkins", make sure the fill plug will come out before you remove the drain plug. I'm sure you verified that off camera, but wanted to make sure your viewers knew that trick. Really sucks to drain a gearbox and not be able to refill it.

[@madbikerwolf8664]

Suggestion for the next time you need to change the final drive oil: use a chalk line from the hub up and over the top of the tire.

[@robertschemonia5617]

I use safety orange ground marking paint. The temporary stuff that is almost like chalk. That way you can see it from the cab, and if it gets a bit wet it don't wash off *as* easy.

[@rich7934]

Suggestion: Next time you need to fill a wheel hub/final drive. Mark the outer corner of the tire with chalk or soap stone, to indicate where you want to be top. At most, now you will only have to lean out the door to see the mark.

This video is old but if you're still interested to make a quick coupling system for that loader; 1. You could look into the triangle coupling that is often used on field tractors for quickly switching between equipment. They are easy to make from scrap steel, I've made a few myself. What's great is that you can basically make it as heavy duty as you want. You can also buy them and they are not terribly expensive, would probably require some retrofit on your machine and idk how heavy duty you can get them at the shop. Basically you have a male and a female triangle, female part goes on equipment and the other on your loader. 2. You could also look into the typical snow plow coupling which is extremely heavy duty and easy to make. It's basically a french cleat design on top where you hook your laoder into the bucket and then it's secured at the bottom with two pins on either side. It's not as fast and easy to dis-/connect as the triangle variant, but it's even easier to DIY and more heavy duty. For triangle: just google "triangle quick coupling", should give some results. For the snow plow: google "french cleat" and , obviously you'd make it in thick steel and not wood, but the principle is the same. If you'd like me to send you links/pictures of any of this, let me know, I'll email you.

Only the non flammable type brake cleaner that's trichloroethylene based - it's chlorinated hydrocarbons that have that reaction (extreme heat and uv exposure).

I dug the “almost King of the Hill” music behind the time lapse scene!!

As a lifelong mechanic, I surely enjoy your logical ingenuity. Bravo! That's just what we have to Do. Ain't no halfstep'n.

*- Lot of work got done, that is for sure, Matt.* *- I well understand the wisdom of not bothering with the transmission* *- Just because putting things to right would be nice, I would like to see it done.* *- Oh, and wouldn't it be nice to discover some better, affordable tires for Fat Alice {**3:03**}, too.*

That transmission fluid coming out was one heck of a jump scare!

Howdyyawl from the land down under. She's an old loader, better than not having one😂. Look after it & it'll make life alot easier. One thing though, please wear safety glasses over looking glasses. Eye sight is very important. Enjoy your videos,

Rewatching this classic and laughed just as hard as I did the first time I saw it. 🤣

A feller is gonna do the right thing, and put it all back together and pretend nothing is wrong 😀

Diesel Grip Vise Creek Garage coming at you!

When can we see more content on the unit dragline? Buddy of mine was the previous owner.

Unfortunately I probably won’t get to it until spring. I have too much going on,

Judging by the movement between the rear and front half of the machine It would be wise to check the pivot points as there may be too much wear on either the pins and or bushings. With hindsight the illusion might just be that the loose cab was an optical rather than an actual movement.

[@alexanderkupke920]

I was wondering about that as well. My first impression was it was moving in the pivot, but then I started wondering if it was actually the frame around the engine compartment (For some reason I did not think about the cab). But looking at the footage from after he welded it back together, I think the cab moving fooled me with what I thought I had seen.

The oil bath was refreshing! Keep up the great work and vids.

Milwaukee transfer pump would go such a long way here. Makes doing fluid changes so easy
