I work with equipment and I've lived by "never trust hydraulics" it only takes one seal to go to drop the machine. Purely for safety you should use some timber to chalk it up. Same idea of using jack stands instead of trusting a floor jack.

[@shotslife]

Yep I agree that’s why I was so stretched out trying to keep my body in the clear but a timber is a good idea

[@luvpussey]

Being that you finished so quick why didn’t you do some work on the boat lol lovely to see such a wonderful property as usual you and the family stay safe

[@shotslife]

Lol! Hey Hugh! Got to keep my regular life going! Hahahahaha!

[@ELCADAROSA]

Well done on the repair, and video quality! ... Yeah, I cringed when you were standing on that breaker bar. And when you were crawling around underneath without additional chassis support (I have had a hydraulic jack fail on me). Be safe, Chief! We look forward to seeing you for many years to come!

[@shotslife]

Thanks Neil!

[@alankarvel441]

like a 2',or 3', or even a 4'. piece of pipe to extend the handle of the wrench works a hell of a lot better then standing on it.! DUDE. rack your ankle up like that & you will become Mr. limpy in a big Hurry.! just saying.? :-0

[@shotslife]

Yup, need a piece of pipe, don’t have one, thanks for watching!

[@dougekren6495]

Those rollers are not greaseable ? Good job ,just subbed

[@shotslife]

No Sir, they are sealed.. guess that ensures nothing gets in. Thanks!

[@blondiethebuilder5676]

Just picked up a 50D Deere. Looking to do some work on it. Great video on the rollers. Thanks

[@shotslife]

Awesome!! A 50D is a big machine!!

[@jumpnjack8686]

Looking good! Almost like new.👍👍

[@shotslife]

Hey Jump’n thanks, she’s running like a top!

[@dennisdrexler5020]

Good video . Interesting. Never knew how the tracks worked on those.

[@shotslife]

Hey thanks Dennis, yeah interesting for sure..

[@beaugibson2951]

How many hours did the machine have when you did this

[@shotslife]

Approx 2400 hours

[@barrettshaw98]

What is the part number of the rollers you used and what dealer did you use? I’ve ordered two different aftermarket brands and they were too wide. Would not fit. I have a 2013 27D. Thanks!

[@shotslife]

ECO parts. (On Amazon) John Deere 35D 27D Top Carrier Roller Part No 9237948 but contact the person first with the measurements of your old ones so they send the correct size.

[@florianreinhart6438]

That’s a nice piece of property you have liked the over head shot of it

[@shotslife]

Hey thanks Florian!

[@bobjoncas2814]

[@shotslife]

That’s a fact! Have a great week Bob!

thanks for removing some of the ads 👍👍👌

[@shotslife]

Lol, I actually didn’t... I hit KZbin support up to see what’s going on, they say “everything” is correct... I think I am going to take a bath on this video...

[@paulgilson9876]

Injoying your vids..keep it up

[@shotslife]

Thanks Paul!!

[@chrisstang1966]

Hey buddy congratulations 🎊 on your 10k subscribers. Love the drone shots. Stay safe.

[@shotslife]

Thanks Chris!! Appreciate it!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Congrats on the 10K another great video.

[@shotslife]

Thanks brother!!

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

Two things, chock the the machine like others have said, and save yourself when doin the hard work. Get a force multiplier ( big arse bit of pipe) that way you dont bust a gut undoing and tightening the bolts. They teach this at work now (bhp) and its taken a while to come around to that way of thinking as it was always easy to muscle it ( what ever needed undoing or doing up) But you only have one body no point wearing it out when some bloke worked out centuries ago about fulcrums and leavers etc.. Keep the vids coming

[@shotslife]

Thanks my friend!

[@darrinhoskins4120]

Great Job!!

[@shotslife]

Thanks Darrin!

[@hewitt52]

Nice job. Love the aerial view of your property at the end. Where are you located?

[@shotslife]

Thank you Sir, Kentucky!

[@Rick-461]

Great vid as always! Congratulations on 10K subscribers...I think that is awesome. I was noticing those white posts at the end of the vid...are they an outline of a potential future project?

[@shotslife]

Hey Rick, thanks brother, yes Sir, you have good eyes... planning a building... we shall see!

[@notj5712]

Block that thing up, you are relying on the hydraulics of that thing to not cut your hands off.

[@caseypries7559]

You need to get back on the boat! I'd rather see it in the water than your excavator.

[@shotslife]

Lol, yeah I don’t want to see the excavator back in the water either! Hahahaha!

[@coachman290651]

this is not a boat lol

[@shotslife]

Hey Robert! Lol, yeah the boat is every other week...

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

Hey Shot Hope everyone is well. I was just wondering, did those bearings mess up from dragging the machine after going into the river? Joe

[@shotslife]

Hey Joe, I doubt that helped but they were squealing way before that happened... as always appreciate you watching!

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

@@shotslife well, you sure made it look easy. I've also been wanting to ask, if you ever get any time to drown some worms there on that river?

[@shotslife]

I haven’t yet... I need to, but retirement is rough! Lol! I hardly sit down!

[@zeke7142003]

John Deere not happy you are doing your own work. They are probably figuring out a way to prevent this from happening again in the future by engineering in special fasteners and computer software to disable the machine to prevent anyone from doing their own work.

[@shotslife]

Hahahahahaha! I know it seems all companies are doing that these days!!

[@doug1030]

Jack stands .

[@shotslife]

Lol!

[@billcooper2584]

Chief, Don’t forget to give the riverbank the right of way.

[@shotslife]

Hahahahahahahaa!

[@cameronwaltets4122]

Your getting more confident in front of the camera

[@shotslife]

Thanks Cameron, it takes a while to get used to talking to a little box! 😆
