Replacing Teeth On The Excavator Bucket & Rutting Around

I this video (IN THE WOODS!) I bring you along as I swap out a missing/broken tooth on my excavator bucket and then of course we have to make sure it works by digging a tree stump up and then we get a visit from the lovely Mrs. O. That pretty much sums it up.
-Enjoy!

"What do people want to see?" People just want to spend time with Mr. O. When Mrs. O stops by, it's a bonus! Great video! Loved the smashing and bashing!

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see that someone else doesn't have a project go so easy....

[@fredflintstone8048]

I was screaming at the video "Drive them out from the back Eric!!" You finally heard me on the last two.

[@cgoad]

Eric: "Looks like we're only doing two teeth today, folks." Then he proceeds to finish the other two. Great stuff, Eric!

[@chriholt]

I love seeing your "out of the garage" videos, plus seeing Mrs. O is always a bonus!

My apologies. I missed the first word and it read like you were writing a porno novel. May perfect sense when I re-read the comment again. Sorry but you shoulda seen the look on my face.

[@gregorylewis8471]

Thanks for the After Hours video Eric! 😁 You transported us to the forest! It was nice to see the trees, and to have Mrs. O. visit was just perfect! It brought back some really good memories of my youth! Thanks again!

The only thing better than watching another man work from the comfort of my home is to watch him work after he gets home from work, all from the comfort of my home.

A long time ago I was 8 years old and dreamed of having an excavator. This was a treat to watch.

Glad to have another great After Hours Video. I'm here for the same reason I'm in Adam Savage's Shop. To be a fly on the wall / on your shoulder and hang out. See you do stuff and inspire me to get my own butt up and do anything. I don't own any property, I don't own a makerspace like Adam, I don't own a repair shop like you. I work on my desk in the office, fart in my seat and at the end of the day I want to unwind when my kid is in bed. That's what I'm here for - you could show us how to dry paint - I would stay here.

[@douglasarmstrong2748]

You are correct to be concerned about those "widow makers" in your woods. I know from my own experience that working in the woods or anything is a great stress reliever. Good for you folks!

[@lisaleeper9399]

This is the first time ive seen this site! My husband watches this, but i only watch the car repair. Don’t stop. These are all informative, just be safe cutting the trees. Keep up the good work. Great seeing Mrs. O

Just doing some new tooth goofin. Always great to see. Love watching forest transformations making room for the young trees.

[@garythompson4665]

I'm born and raised in western NY but moved to Michigan 33 years ago. Also worked on cars a lot back then but not anymore. So, I enjoy your video a lot. Please keep them coming. Thanks Eric and Mrs O.

[@paulleeson1218]

Don't undersell yourself Mister, I was lucky enough to catch the vid you had to delete, I only realised it was gone when I went to rewatch it a few days later so that tells you something, It's great to see someone who's very competent at his chosen craft trying a new one, because it puts us on something approaching a level playing field, somewhere most of us will never be when it comes to diag'ing and fault finding. Loved it, thanks for sharing it.

[@ronallen6578]

Mr. O, Just remember that it's better for YOU to choose when those dead trees come down, instead of the tree to decide for you. Yea, definitely be very skeptical of those snags. They don't call them "widow makers" without cause. There is a channel I have watched even longer than yours. It's called Outdoors with The Morgans. Mike just finished cutting a road about the same size as yours. Maybe check it out. He is a pretty good operator and also cut a fair number of trees. Good size firewood operation and also cuts lumber. Just a suggestion. 😊

[@Larry-sf9nb]

Not many can make an entertaining video of replacing bucket teeth. You can, Mr. O. And you did. Continue to take us along on your projects and adventures.

[@paulerickson1906]

My uncle had a long wet trail to put a road through. So he did it the old fashioned way and put down a corduroy road with all the dead trees he cut down on his property. Usually these temporary roads last a few years before you have to get the gravel down them. His lasted an amazing 40 years and throwing down the occasional truck of gravel, it worked out really well for him.

[@greatreset3]

Bucket List ?

[@frankvucolo6249]

Love this kind of stuff! And get a professional tree service for those couple of sketchy ones. Mrs. O and the kids need you around. Not to mention is viewers!

Yeah we burn wood 🪵🪓🔥

Appreciate the glance in to your personal life.

Hey Mr. O, A tip for leaving brush piles.... build a U shaped box out of the junk timbers to contain the pile. Later when nature consumes it, you will have excellent top soil that is easy to scoop up.

[@robnunya572]

All I can say is that if you ever get tired of swinging spanners, you've got a future pulling levers - I've seen guys who get paid for that do a LOT worse. Nicely done! And that's a cute bucket. :D The last digger teeth I changed were on a Bucyrus-Erie 2570WS dragline. 3 guys, pneumatic hammers, the hot spanner and a lot of bad language for about half a 12 hour shift. We got them done eventually. It's good to see a bit of the old homestead action, something different to the shop.

[@joeroggenbeck8444]

I totally love watching Eric wail a hammer for 30 minutes. Smacks his hand with it and says " Good thing I wasn't swing hard" LMAO! Iron man Eric! You rock good sir. Video anything. Its great to watch you take on life!

"Nothing too Exciting". Fits my lifestyle perfectly, also surprised no side arm attached to Mrs O 🗽🇺🇸💯

The girl with the white truck with electrical issues was the daughter of the tree guy. All your stories have value.

[@waffalobill]

Know a guy been doing trees for 40+ years. Cut one that barber chaired. Caught him above his foot right in front. Drove his heel into the ground a foot. Snapped his leg like a twig. He was a long ways in the woods. Only way in or out was a dozer. Emt showed up, put him on the dozer, drove him out. They had to do emergency surgery,. Took his leg apart at the knee, put a rod down the middle of his leg into his foot. Put in plates and screws. He was on a farm not far from you. Putting in a hydro electric plant for the farmer.

[@lvsqcsl]

Every now and then I think it is a good idea to let people see you out of your work environment, Eric. It shows you have a life outside of work. GREAT VIDEO!

[@kevinfergusson8239]

Your videos help to keep some of us focused on general work that always need to be done. Thank you.

[@danlemke6407]

You under estimate our living vicariously through you. A man of many talents and while I have experience with a backhoe, I have never run an excavator, so it gives us an idea what the advantages are to this piece of equipment. I think you know most of you audience are men and we love this stuff. Half of the enjoyment comes from your commentary and the way you approach different tasks. Something to be learned even if we never will use this knowledge. I sold the farm, with equipment to live in town, where I still felt the need to have a piece of equipment, so I bought a 590, 2 speed Bobcat that my neighbors get more use out of it than I do, which is great to be able to be a productive member of our town of 92 people. Thanks Eric, I look forward to all your videos, even the ones where you just basically do a podcast and interact with us fans. I know it can be a lot of work and often a pita, but I think you know it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully it is worth your efforts.

[@Oiler-ni7rq]

Love the After Hours stuff Mr. O! Many people out here are very jealous of the amazing land you have and you get to play on giant Tonka Toys as well! Thanks for letting us join in on the fun :-)

Watching your normal fare gets my attention, but watching the excavator work just about put me to sleep, almost as good as reading a book on accounting 🤣 Enjoyed it all the way through 👍🏼

[@springfield4522]

Ash makes some nice saw logs too. Thats what you need - a nice sawmill to eat up all that spare time. By the way, John Deere recommends making a click click noise when you are done tightening that 1/2 bolt.

[@drivesalot0063]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Make all the "woods" video's you care to. I find it relaxing watching folks work the machines. Your comments on hesitation with the tree spear and downing trees is on the money. I've cut trees for firewood and worked in the woods. Although it's labored work, I enjoyed the serenity of being in the woods and completing the task at hand. However, you can get into trouble very quickly. You display a great deal of common sense and intelligence. Move at your pace and comfort level. 👍😉

[@williamkraft5574]

Glad to see you and the Lovely Mrs. O back on the after-hours show. We're "speaking for myself" are not too picky about your content on this channel. We like watching you do what you do after hours. I did like the friendly shooting competition. Knocking a few trees over with both the use of a chainsaw and the excavator just shows us how easy it can be for us who don't have a little forest in our backyards. Thank you for the new content on this channel.

[@michaelbradley7529]

Here's a tip I learned from an old timer. If you want to save your knuckles from a wayward hammer while pounding on a punch, hold the punch between your two middle fingers with your palm facing up. If you miss with the hammer, it just hits your palm, and the grip isn't so tight with the fingers that your hand will slide down absorbing even more of the impact. Saved my knuckles countless times, and it's a short learning curve.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

I saw an old timer use an air chisel.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

I used vice grips sometimes. Now they make holders special made for the job.

[@Allegany2010]

I watched half of the first woods road video,went back to watch the rest n it was gone. This kind of content is very watchable and informative. You follow the first rule of road building....DRAINAGE DRAINAGE and MORE DRAINAGE!! Keep up the good work and the good videos. 👍👍

[@Uticagreens]

This was the perfect time for "Big Nasty!" And take this from a guy from an excavation business family member; leave your tree stumps long. The machine will perform better when it has a longer stump to use for leverage.

[@donlemme898]

[@rogerstephenson5639]

I agree 100% on the dangers of snags & widow makers. I have one widow maker in my yard that just is too high to tackle but is just hanging on like a hair in a biscuit (as folks around here say). I have been surprised that winds haven't dropped it by now. I have known one man back up in NW Tennessee where I'm from that died when a bent limb kicked the saw back onto him. Another man was bush hogging a field when a piece of wood threw forward and speared him. I don't know how high the bush hog was all I know is they found him many hours later when he didn't return at supper time... Safety has to start with you.

[@mcgama88]

I enjoyed the work setting as beside trail. Your machine skills seem very improved. As from when I recall the first service at the shop. That broken tree as lodged is a particular hazard, and your plan to stay well clear is good thinking.
