This John Deere 35G that was submerged in water is now in dire need of repair. Water has mixed in with the fuel, gotten into the engine oil, as well as into the engine itself! Can the heavy duty mechanic bring it back to life?
One of the unfortunate realities of working outdoors is that we can’t control the weather. If your heavy equipment is unfortunate enough to get submerged after heavy rains, there are a few things you can do to try and revive your heavy machinery before calling it quits.

Well as a John Deere tech that pump would be coming out and inspected for internal damage as well as the final drive motors but at bare minimum if we took your root we would run a filter caddy to protect the hydraulic system components

[@jondoherty3678]

Great video Kieth need more like this bloke

[@MrDutchman100]

Outstanding job as a mechanic an outstanding job for the video

[@TekamoHD]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! We will be doing other service truck and tool videos very soon, be sure to check those out when they release.

[@larryehrlich57]

Remember that water is heavier than oil. So over time the water will descend to the bottom of the oil pan or its lowest point where it is trapped...like a hose..

[@liza.andkeithsimpson5081]

Great video

[@jevgenijsgavrilovs5711]

Thank you

[@christippett3107]

"Avoid damaging the concrete with the rubber tracks" Proceeds to drag bucket across concrete

[@jessebrown3539]

Lol

[@BluTechEquipment]

I think they were more meaning they didn't wanna leave some 10" wide skid marks across the whole floor haha.

[@LilasTools]

They are trying to avoid damaging the rubber.....

[@cbforme]

Good thing there mechanics they suck at rigging . They put it on plywood so they could drag it in doors so they could leave the door open

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

The outer air filter in your left hand has a different opening than the new one in your right hand. Looks like some kinda plastic insert where the new one SC doesn't.

[@ervinjuarez7101]

It was the inner air filter that was inside

[@daveholmes7160]

@Bombardier64. Maybe thats why the new one didn't fit properly, and he had to hold it up while putting it in the housing 🤔

[@drive-channel1834]

I usually work on larger machines, the 20ton class. In a situation where the engine can't run and the machine needs to be moved, remove the final drive propeller shafts and the tracks will rotate freely when towed. Much easier/lighter to tow that way.

[@matthewmontague535]

It's just a fantastic kid and it this it just keeps jumping around

[@Lukeo2412]

Awesome!

[@TekamoHD]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@francoishamman2649]

draining the hydraulic tank, i would have use a cloth or rag on a stick just to wipe right of the bottom of the tank if it was possible, and remove the suction hose at the bottom of the tank to the hydraulic pump, because the is nothing stopping the water going into the suction hose. Great video anyway and good information

[@fasteddie8225]

I little grease on those air filters makes them glide right on!!

[@blokebeershed7651]

9:45 outer filters are different, that's why you had trouble holding the air filter in

[@rofl1436]

i think its just a collar, that you are supposed to carrry over to the new filter... but he still missed it ^^

[@blokebeershed7651]

@@rofl1436i stand corrected, yes you are indeed correct, some machines theyre abit different but same shit at the end of the day

[@wildcoyote34]

very interesting informative video ,, i'm always interested in machines but after 14 minutes i was kinda annoyed by the repeating of the like / sub / share /click the bell ,it was up to 5 times by this point ,,if i watch a second video and see this repeated in every video likely i won't subscribe

[@nikoh4591]

Customer states escavator doesn't start, possibly water in fuel lol

[@zanechristenson3436]

Would running something like brake fluid through as “rinse” be of any benefit as it’s hydroscopic? Obviously you’d wanna get that out as well but just as part of the process

[@billyking1827]

Just pull the final drive because you're still going to change the gear box oil it will help you out

[@lancecluster]

Interesting. Not sure how you learn all of the intricacies of all of the various machines you work on.

[@polonick95]

Experience and passed down wisdom are a big part then I’m sure he’s studied/went to a program to learn the basics

[@TheZackman914]

Rtfm

[@bernlew977]

What about the two gear drives for the tracks

[@MrRickoscar]

Nice,,, but how do you keep so clean ,being a mechanic .

[@will104107]

Have to ask why would you use white plumbers tape for the hydraulic oil drain plug and not the yellow oil resistant teflon tape or oil rated thread sealant?

[@nafod32]

Was always told not to use tape on hydraulics better to use the paste kind.

[@zanechristenson3436]

Yellow ptfe I’m fairly certain is for natural gas not gasoline and oil

[@will104107]

@@zanechristenson3436 I wish I could post pictures, the rolls I buy say gas and oil resistant tape. So I'm an bit more than "fairly" certain

[@allensandven0]

There still trying to get the air out of injecters lines that’s why they skipped the whole point of this service call . We wanted to see it fire on command that’s the “money shot” ! Lol 😂

@@gregshearer423 see thats the point of PPE, it can and will happen. maybe not this time, but odds are against you

[@fastchev1077]

Just a bit of Teflon tape ??

[@billnelson7254]

Has anyone figured out HOW IT GOT SUBMERGED?

[@mikewilson9938]

should of left it in the water

[@trainnerd4350]

Seems awfully clean inside for a machine that was submerged… I call BS!

[@flick22601]

He said that it was pressure washed and it's a very low hour machine.

[@rstewy1234567890]
