It seems like all of my favorite YT creators owe Area Diesel Service a case of beer for all the free tech support. Sounds like a great company and good people to know.

[@TerrorTubbie666]

How do you know ADS? I only know them from the ytchannels they cooperate with. So that's pretty good advertisement for ADS, don't you think? And that's worth something too...

[@rudolfzweep8]

If those guys really get all this amount of beer, their advice will be temporarily slightly under par...

[@poowg2657]

Too much beer is not enough!

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

Must not be familiar with marketing. Nor paying for a service.

[@peterwellington8756]

I’ve had experience d air getting sucked in to system from hand pump I prefer the bubble and primer great content thank you

[@SPUDHOME]

Sam, scrappy industries. Matt, diesel creek. And now Kim, calamity Kim. Are the best of all to watch. Very knowledgeable and interesting in all that they have done.

[@wolfguardian8312]

Calamity Kim...Dooh!

[@RobertSpangler]

Sam repping the Cutting Edge Engineering hat! I’m sure Kurtis and Karen would be thrilled!

[@kevinmurphy3464]

Don’t have heavy equipment and never will have a need for heavy equipment, but I love watching Sam’s channel and Matt’s from Diesel Creek. For a young guy, Sam is super knowledgeable be it mechanical or electrical and has a hell of a work ethic! Another great job Sam.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

He sure does

[@jaygraham5407]

Sam's Grandpa was an excellent teacher !!

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Always smiling even after a bath in hydraulic oil 🛀 Nice work, Sam 👍

[@petereriksson1390]

You are doing the right & easy way Sir! The axcess so much eiser and you correct said it's 3 belt system! Correct & well done Sir! Yours CEO Peter Eriksson, Falun Maskin Service, Sweden, Europe 😮😅😊!

[@AndrewKilvert]

Love your work. As an Australian always happy to see an American using Metric.

[@natecampbell4708]

Sam, I'm gonna say the same thing I said to Matt at Diesel Creek some time ago; I, for one, appreciate that you don't edit out your mistakes! It shows us that we all flub things up every now & then. I also liked the fact that you can laugh at yourself afterward. Very glad you got the issues straightened out & look forward to watching whatever comes next.

[@steefvd1]

There's nothing better than spent a lazy sunday afternoon on the couch, watching Scrappy Sam and his jobs. Thanks Sam.

[@johnobiro5202]

I just love your positivity, you are always smiling. It’s great to be alive with people like you Sam.🔧👍🇬🇧

[@tujuprojects]

Noticed the same. Smiling even with snus in the lip.

[@ulfbystrom]

Great to see the CEE hat!👌🏻 Another favourite!🙌🏻

[@tujuprojects]

Dude is starting to like his Volvo.

[@albertorossi2793]

The Volvo engine is an excellent engine and says a lot about the durability of the vehicle

[@killstrees]

This one is a Deutz in Volvo paint

[@juhomaki-petaja]

That Deutz is notorius of dropping cylinder liners

[@jakestabile7027]

Another great repair job by Sam. Thanks for taking the time to chronicle the steps(and missteps) to troubleshoot the culprits. We have one of these L90's in our fleet since 2003.

[@deanschaeffer1070]

Well, Sammy you wont rust with all that lubrication om your jacket!! Lol! It happens to the best of us at times. Enjoy watching/learning.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Just a note about maintenance. I managed a fleet of over the road trucks for a bunch of years. Our policy was whenever a truck came into the shop for any maintenance that involved and interaction with belts, my mechanics had standing instructions to replace them all, regardless of condition. Hoses, same. It is cheap insurance. I would rather replace a belt in my shop than 1,000 miles from home on the side of the road. That Volvo was begging you to change the belts while you had access and it was in your shop, not out on a jobsite. Belts and hoses are cheap compared to a $1,000.00 service call or a lost day's production. Plan your work, work your plan.

[@SteveMarshall-f7b]

Nice hat from cutting edge engineering

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Deutz used a belt drive pump too and they often allowed air into the system. I think there would be fewer problems if they didn't use the pump as a tensioner or build in better bearings if they do.

[@juhomaki-petaja]

That is Deutz engine... Volvo owns Deutz.

[@michaelovitch]

You can use linseed oil on the faded plastics,it will make them darker and look way better.

[@jaygraham5407]

Flash those black plastic parts with a propane torch to bring back the color. I haven't seen Hastings filters for quite a while.

[@michaelovitch]

@@jaygraham5407If you do that with a torch,you will have stains caused by uneven heating when the plastic degrade again. Linseed oil will last longer and coat it very uniformely,it's also cheaper.

[@paulblackman4833]

Love how the dogs know just how much to move to let your volvo get past them. No more energy spent than necessary.

[@MyDuckfoot]

Good day Sam I always enjoy watching you work on equipment

[@Max-qc8di]

Used to work on these, worth changing the axle oils, if they’re higher than the fill plug before draining it’s a good indication the brake pistons o-ring seals are bypassing hydraulic oil into the axle housing. There are also brake wear indicator pins on each final drive to check for excessive brake disc wear during a service.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Watching filter and fluid changes is rather mundane. BUT watching you straighten the steps was way cool. Great video! 👍👍👍

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Agree. That was the best part of the entire video.

[@davidorr8645]

Wow! A grinder with a cord. I didn't think those were a thing anymore😂

[@Daninreallife247]

Haha “Shake hands with danger” .. that was a video (yes a video) we all had to watch as apprentices waaay back in the day here in Australia. I never forgot that one where the bloke puts his hand inside the eyelet while the other guy is backing up and a fly comes into the cab and distracts him. BRUTAL! 🥴

[@brianbauer7666]

This is hitting perfect with my morning coffee. Beautiful morning on the east coast today

[@ChuckNorriz1122]

Perfect timing for me as well.

[@terryrogers1025]

Like the oops, especially when its some else’s and I don’t have to clean up the mess, oh my, I have had some EXON VALDES experiences with hydraulic systems though, and man, to me, nothing worse to clean up/off than hydraulic oil, always carried a change of cloths with me on service calls, saved me more than once. Nice job of chasing down the fuel system problem. Thanks for the VOLVO update, appreciate your time and effort on the video.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning Sam and thumbs UP!!

[@juhomaki-petaja]

That hydraulic filter is "Volvo ECO filter". It is usually replaced with older model like you had at your hands. Axle oil is Hytran etc. JD20C is suitable. Tractor oil.

[@simonjones7785]

Nice job Sam

[@488Magnum]

A man of culture with the cornwell ratchets.

[@erikcourtney1834]

Sam you could have always done the ‘Ol fpr mod…. Putting a BB in the fuel pressure regulator on a 7.3PS. That would take up the slop from spring wear. 🤣😉

[@dieseldoctor2221]

Another great repair video from Sam @ scrappy industries!!! Always repairing something different Have a great Sunday Sam and Family!!!

[@jarodrickabaugh9421]

I honestly cant think of better viewing content for a Sunday morning. Sitting here drinking coffee and watching scrappy!!!!

[@wolfguardian8312]

Nice job dude...Exactly the kind'a stuff I would have done...That's a nice machine

[@allensharlow7763]

Sam your the Man, great job Sir, sorry about the spray , lol

[@victorschmidt5306]

Even though we have an L90E (same Deutz engine and drivetrain as L90F) among our loaders, other than comfort it just never will beat the old pure 90's and 90B's. An entirely mechanical machine is just incomparable to today's electronic nightmares.

[@peslange]

I think you should change that transmission oil, I drove the same type of loader here in Norway and when did a transmission service on it change gear so much smoother and faster😊

[@STEREO5000]

A little tip, if you use it heavily, put the exhaust muffler outside or completely away, as this creates enormous heat build-up in the engine compartment, which causes all the seals to harden.

[@stevebeavers3754]

Been using those double diaphragm air pumps for 24 years. They are super handy.

[@Brunspindel]

On newer F-series with deutz engines there is a extra check valve mounted btw rail return and it's hose. Just a ad on piece and solves often the problem with long cranks on these slightly older ones. I can't help you with the partnumber right now. If you need it just let me know.

[@SWHBOYCE]

gotch yer C.E.E. cap !! ( Curtis and Caren and Homey, oh ,and the many Georges from Brisbane !!! The land of the mighty Kookaburra and the coastal taipan !!! Good job !!! ,ya got it done !!!

[@kensnyder2248]

Between you and Matt I just might be able to fix my 350 bulldozer someday 😊

[@carldrexler7883]

For the amount of time and work you put into this machine it looks like you have a winner 👍

[@luvtruckin]

Yes Yes it did look good on camera I hate to admit but I chuckled. Looks like a lifetime machine to me.

[@ukoldgit]

Oil Leak - Matt would be proud of yah!

[@rintin1874]

Brilliant been waiting on the video dropping Sam. Great work again, Sam, watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏

[@pierrewellington9662]

I love the way you are with your Equipment and the way you troubleshoot your stuff.

[@mikael2313]

Hello from Sweden, Volvo L90 😁

[@VikingDudee]

Had a 5.4 ford van do that to that to me, it sat for more than 5 min it lost all prime, would almost never start first try, have to prime it at least twice. I replaced a ton of things on that thing as it never spit a code or anything, Turned out after months of playing with it, it was the fuel pump, changed it never had the problem again. I hate problems thats not always obvious lol

[@ewanstewart8011]

Those step repairs are what’s known as thinking on your feet and you passed with flying colours 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to See You Scrappy Sam

[@renem6441]

Nice fountain of oil!! 😂😂 Area Diesel as helpful as always!!

[@knucklehead68]

Really like watching your videos. Keep them coming Sam.

[@lillekarlsson5599]

Hi Sam. Wery nice work and always nice to see you. Take care. / Lille from Sweden

[@thomasfrye8996]

Good job dude. Can't believe this channel has only 57k subs. Very informative channel. By the way...we are!

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Penn State! Thank you!

[@LarryO777]

Keep on smiling! You make my day!

[@mischef18]

Thanks for letting us tag along on this fix and service bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@jon-with.no.h]

I like your hat! Great channel too. I wish he lived closer along with that shop

[@henkweurding3339]

Nice video and a nice shovel. Nice to have a network of people you can ask questions to like Areadiesel.

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Great job Sam always very interesting 🦘

[@bartdaw6681]

That is a better weld then I would have made, be proud!

[@stuartbatcheldor5978]

I really enjoy watching your vlogs Sam. You offer such clear advice on how you solve problems that come along. Thanks for all that you are doing!

[@dosman01302]

Ol peg would be proud of those welds!

[@hernanmartinez8313]

Love it you wash and clean it the Volvo

[@williamgleaves1954]

your hand primer might also be leaking. step 1 is look for where dirt/oil stains are.

[@peteraitken6494]

Nice job Sam look after it and it will look after you that’s my motto anyway lol take care and have a great week 👌👍❤️

[@MKMALM2024]

Another great video, lots of great information. DC needs to catch up !

[@johnavonyates4105]

Very cool machine. It's really coming along.

[@texascottonfarmer]

Use what ya' got. That's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👌👌

[@raymondanderson5525]

Awesome videos Sam. Keep’em coming. Love these types of videos.

[@sugeneller384]

Hello coming from diesel Creek nice Volvo Swedish iron

[@caesar1295]

I really think you got a great deal on the Volvo Sam, as always good video and I love how nothing takes that smile off your face. Great job keeping your channel family friendly there’s not that many out there that’s just one reason I enjoy your videos Sir.

[@SPUDHOME]

Years ago when metric started in the US, i always called them mm as in 10 mm, 20 mm, etc. it always stuck with me and my friends.

[@rayperoni4142]

Hello Sam,you giving a pretty good show.You are natural and skillfull,don't change à bit...you're perfect!

[@stevesalvage1089]

Great experience there I wouldn't no where to start, thanks for sharing your skill ,

[@davidohler5611]

Good to see you back - have looked daily for your videos - thanks for what you do

[@sjohnson1776]

Awesome Sam! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@sootyjim]

It is so wonderful hearing someone from the US using the metric system. You'll get there one day USA, you'll get there. 😉

[@ScrappyIndustries]

I really wish it was already metric before I was alive lol all big manufacturers here use metric now anyway

[@chadlake3590]

They told us that 40 years ago. We said no and always will.

[@JohanLind]

With some new paint here and there along with some new panels, she'll be living her best life going forward!

[@joedoakes8307]

Did you perhaps replace ALL the old fuel filters ?

[@forumbezoeker]

If I look at it that way, there have been problems with it before. all parts you have changed are white in color. With Volvo/Deutz engines everything is green from the factory

[@ScrappyIndustries]

That’s a good point and i wouldn’t be surprised if they have failed before since it has 23,000 hours

[@dennisryan7487]

Nice job SAM !

[@Valenciaeye]

Great job Sam

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Info... A welder Suggested to use Esab welding rod. Let's just say if you lived closer you can have my lincoln Excalibur 😁 Try it Esab smokes less and starts easier/7018

[@92fsoakcreek]

Yeah, you gotta admire some Swedish designs. ease of maintenance, access and service.

[@raymondgochenour8725]

Enjoyed the video

[@Aqvalar]

I was writing a comment long before seeing what you did (hey, I don't read descriptions!). The first thing that came to mind about the poor start? "Hey, just like my Alfa diesel, which had poor pressure sensor" - and in that case, everyone actually believed it to be the regulator itself :D Your work ethics and systematical approach is great as well!

[@danielashford2430]

Great video Sam,peace brother…

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video and a great job,your knowledge is very impressive..thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@remiewatkins8032]

Good job Sam love your videos

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Like the video on Volvo L90F Wheel loader Sam

[@adamobrien8411]

On the fuel filter housing water can leak into the fuel. just above the fuel filter water passes through the back of that housing but I’ve seen a few create a small crack in the wall between them which makes them mix, they can crack if the filter gets pulled too much when removing it

[@carljohansson945]

One other normal problem is prefulefilter tightened to hard. Gasket interfere with check valve in filter housing.

[@KnogMakkan]

Nice video 👍 Regards from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]

on cylinders USE PARKER HANNIFIN ALL SEAL KITS //KEEP YOU UP AND RUNNING

[@danslawncare8594]

You need to grease the gaskets on the both fuel filters when you put them on. If you don't it will suck air and make it start hard

[@BruceBergman]

And you can get the punch paper and a Laserjet and Print out the manual for shop reference. Or find the PDF on the Internet/$0.

[@danslawncare8594]

I always fill the eng oil filter before I put it on

[@oldadthomas]

Thanks Sam.
