I have some of them big old mesquite in my yard also. Only in TEXAS. Coming along great with the excavator. I hate when that happens ,dropping it in a bucket of oil. I use a filter strap alot specially in a tight spot, works great. Good job Cody take care.

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@DunsmoreMovingDirt oh gosh them suckers are old lol slowly but surely praying I can get the rest of the kinks out lol. Filter strap does work good just need 3 hands to operate 😂. That new vice grip one saved me lol I can’t get much grip on regular ones. Thanks for the comment sir! Sitting here watching the new video you just put out lol

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@michaelweatherhead9470 one step closer to a working machine! I need to get it going to pay for itself lol. Take care of yourself sir and your family! God bless!

@Lonestardiggin thanks

[@JerryGilbert-jx3yo]

use a magnet to get the plug out of the oil

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Ya just can't have enough tools it seems like. I've probably got 12 different devices for removing filters from various machines. Some of them are only useful in one application, but when ya need it, it's worth every penny. Tip: get you a Cotter pin puller for installing and removing hoses. It usually works better for getting hoses started, and for breaking the seal when removing rubber hoses. Stay safe my friend.

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@blackdogexcavator21 ha ha ain’t that the truth. That’s what my wife says about shoes 😂😂😂😂. That vice grip one so far is my fav lol thanks for the tip I don’t think I ever seen or heard of a cotter pin puller! I’ll have to put on my Christmas list 😂😂😂. Thanks for the comment sir! God bless!

[@PacificNorthwestHillbilly]

Keep it up Cody!

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@PacificNorthwestHillbilly thank you sir! I have a guy coming to help me on that automatic throttle. I bought the stepper motor but it’s not working right. Not sure what’s up with that 🤦🏼‍♂️.

[@RobinCrouch-k2z]

You are one hard-working son of a gun! Have you heard of an impact wrench to change your oil? That might help you out... I dig your videos! Love you, son❤

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@RobinCrouch-k2z I have not I’ll check it out! Thank you! Love you! God bless!❤️

[@westonmoody1539]

Where did you order the glass from? I’m having trouble finding some for me EX100

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@westonmoody1539 it’s a place online called safe harbor inc. It didn’t have my machine on it as one that the glass fit but it had a 120-3 so after I researched and took measurement I tried the smallest window first and it fit perfect. That’s when I tried the bigger ones and they fit perfect too. And that’s the ONLY place I’ve found that has glass for it. And they showed the original part number too so I knew it had to fit even though the 120-2 was not on the list of machines it fit. And literally bought mid day and had the glass the nxt day lol. But I live in the same state that they are in. Good luck holler back if you can’t find them

[@Lonestardiggin]

I just looked on their website and it didn’t list the ex100 but look at the measurements. They have it in mm. I converted to inches and pulled measurement and mine was the same as theirs and part number matched so yours may be the same way. Idk if the 100 cabs are the same as the 120.
