What's up Ladies & Gentlemen! Did you MISS the previous VIDEO in this Skid Steer Series? If you did, you may want to check it out, Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXjaq6GqmLuCfpI As ALWAYS, I truly appreciate your support and I'm glad you're here! I hope you enjoy this video!

[@darrenw2803]

I see you gots a street sweeper lol

[@mobiousenigma]

thanks for the videos! btw contact adhesive requires you to spray BOTH surfaces THEN wait until tacky....it bonds to itself . it was kind of painful watching that struggle lol. side note 15 1/4 is 1/2 of 30 1/2 to my mind finding center of the piece then measuring out 15 1/4 is less of a struggle your method works as well.

[@joebroz9006]

Matt you seem so happy now that the den is done. Way to go. You deserve it. We love your work!

[@alberthartje7641]

Hi, Just wanted to say, I really enjoy your channel/videos. Very interesting for me being a trained automotive service tech. What a transformation on your skid steer! Have a great Memorial Day Holiday week. ☺️

[@hilmarj5926]

1:29:28 1:29:28

[@kaydog2008]

When glueing up the form rubber after spraying both surfaces wait a minute till glue is tacky. (JUST LIKE A STICKER) Than apply the foam. Same for head liners and pannel covers.😎👍👍I'm thinking a prop bar instead of the slide lock would of been a better choice. Made with a small slightly bent rod welded on one end that fits in the same hole and with a sleeve and bolt at the other bolted to the lid.

[@Calamity_Jack]

Yep, this. Contact cement works the opposite of regular glues - you spray it on (both sides, the cab and the liner) then wait til it dries. After the carrier solvent evaporates, it leaves a somewhat sticky residue behind to the touch (like rubber cement), but it sticks to itself like mad. In fact, that's why it's called "contact" cement: once it contacts itself, it ain't letting go without a fight! But if you try to use it before the solvent evaporates, or if it's only applied on one side and not the other, it won't stick very well. Cool, long episode Matt - thanks! And thanks also for resisting the urge to add music to your videos. That's so annoying.

[@c6quad3]

When I worked at my dad's auto trim shop I replaced a lot of headliners. Like said above, gotta spray both sides and let it dry before sticking it together. The way he did it with that cheap contact cement from a spray can it doesn't stand a chance of staying stuck long.

[@michaelsheehan876]

Torture watching you use the contact cement.

[@IconicSpitters]

It was Old Red that made me discover your channel, from over here in the UK, and I’ve watched ever since .. very interesting projects and you have a good presentation style😊 I prefer seeing you working, and problem solving, on the bigger machines but I do see Big Red may be uneconomical... it’s a massive shame after all your excellent work so far - but there we are. My hope is that somewhere in the US there’s a suitable secondhand undercarriage🤞🤞😉 PS I make radio model aircraft and my favourite plane of all time is named Big Red 👍😊🇬🇧

[@Mike-vn7ys]

As a metal fabricator, you have to adjust your metal break blade for the metal thickness. If not you can damage the machine and also have problems as you were having breaking your metal plate. You have adjustments at the back of your break on each side. They adjust your blade in and out for the metal thickness.

[@martinromerocintron6294]

sorry I agree with you to a point but did you hear what year that Machine was make your grand mother was maybe in Pamper is not a modern machine give a guy a break

[@Mike-vn7ys]

@@martinromerocintron6294 I wasn’t trying to give him a hard time just advise on how to adjust his break. I have worked on several old manual breaks, finger breaks from 4’ to 16’, and cnc breaks that will bend 1-1/2” plate. All manual breaks have adjustments on them or they will not work.

[@normmcrae1140]

@@Mike-vn7ys 100% Agreed - I've worked on Aircraft and sheet metal for years, and you have to adjust the brake to match the thickness of the metal that you bend - the ends of the fingers MUST be AT LEAST as far away from the bending point as the thickness of the material (preferably a tiny bit more), or you end up trying to force the fingers BACKWARDS - and pinching the material, rather than bending it - making things impossible.

[@srp01983]

@@Mike-vn7ysGood advice.

[@Paturnus1]

​​@@srp01983 is it "brake", like on a car, or "break", like it's damaged? Somebody is relying on spell check! LOL

[@charlesreohr6236]

I subscribed when you saved a bench vise. When you brought all the cast iron you have at your first shop I said outloud this is what salvage should be. I love dogs! You never stop. You remind me of a boy that grew into an almost 70 year old working on old things and making them useful again. I think it keeps me feeling useful still. Keep up the good work. Thenks for the videos

[@richardgreen7811]

You are young and talented. "This" is the path your life should take. There is an enormous market for aged equipment that has been completely refurbished by someone like yourself. With the planned obsolescence by manufacturers, DEF requirements on new equipment, and the allure of nostalgia ... buying, restoring, and flipping equipment taken to a "like new level" can produce a serious profit, and will for many years to come. Just remember the old "car-guy adage" ... you can't put too much into a creampuff, or too little into a dog. Also ... Your new "DIG's" play right into the concept.

[@dennishernden2264]

Putting some of that step sandpaper on surfaces entering and exiting the machine might be helpful. Good job on this one, even though the major issues were kinda of your own making. hehe But it proved smart going through that fuel system.

[@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

Like skateboard grip tape

[@CXensation]

On the issue with your ignition switch yous should use star washers to positively lock the terminals with the screws. You may consider using the key to control a standard horn or lights relay, moving the heavy load current from the switch to the relay contacts. This way you can rewire the circuit to keep the relay near the starter, reducing the use of heavy gauge wiring and giving the possibility to use low rate fuses in the control wiring. If you don't have a fuse box protecting the circuits, I highly recommend to fit one. Never use fuse ratings that would allow currents higher than associated wiring is rated for. ... and Bob's your cat 😊

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

Good plan

[@jeffo881]

didn't see one but a battery disconnect would be a good idea as well.

[@BenGovett]

LED lights unlike filament type bulbs are able to blow in a way that they create a short circuit. Always worth putting in a fuse for each set of LED lights you install. And use relays like you said. Running all power through the ignition switch will cause it to burn out just like what happened.

[@michaelmoran6861]

When you were putting the latch ('snib' in Scotland) on, I thought your beard was going to get wound up in the drill bit. That would have been painful. Excellent refurbishment work and great video. Thanks for sharing. Michael (from Scotland) Ps the workshop looks great for the video intro.

[@thomaswashburn3396]

It really helps to read and follow the spray adhesive instruction's. LOL!

[@jarvisautofabrication284]

Skid steer looks great! Good job!!! For the water, I would do a big 8” French drain covered in pea gravel 6” below and 6” on top and sides. I would do from your gate all the way to your creek in the back, I’m confident that would fix the issue, water will just keep finding new spots unless you make one long big drain channel under ground the whole side of that dirt wall

[@JamesThomas-gg6il]

I sat through the entire thing. Totally enjoyed it. The cab looks great and I was thinking heat instead of sound proof but both is better. You could have hooked the lights up individually them put one of those fighter plane type switches to flip them all off at once. But hey it really did shed some light on the subject.

[@brianelliot2719]

Nice to see your new workshop being used, Matt. We remember when you first started working on the Gehl you were out in your horse shed at the back of your property and it was a little chilly. You must miss the dog visits though. 😊

[@HellYeahImIrish]

Love the longer videos. Yes to the merch, I will buy it.

[@shootermcmillan]

I've been watching for a few months....subbed after a few videos. I enjoyed watching you bring this thing back to life. We live in such a disposable society that guys like you, Deisel Creek, Vice Grip Garage, Mustie One etc.. can make a living rescuing things that have simply been neglected and cast aside. It actually gives hope that a guy could acquire and restore things that he wouldn't otherwise be able to afford (as long as you don't buy a total lemon)

[@williambryant5946]

I don't blame you with old red. I'd say just keep trying to find a used undercarriage for it before going future because of the cost to worth of the machine. As far as other content goes I enjoy watching what you've been showing so far so keep going on the track you're on. Id like to see more of repairing the old equipment.

[@Firecul]

The one thing I'd have done differently is use more flood style lights for the sides and rear rather than spotlight style. It's unlikely you'd ever need focused light to navigate around in any direction other than forwards. It'd help get better visibility to the corners that way too.

[@russellrico1378]

New subscriber here. I enjoyed your no BS style. You fix it and explain it as you go and you finish without leaving a cliff hanger. Also, if you start a project, complete it, and don't say it's too hard or it's "not worth it". Just make sure that the viewer and the project is your priority and if you do, I'm good.

A simple solution for the lights: use three toggle switches with your power jumpered to all, then your lights (load) to each switch. Flip two switches for front and back, one for just the front, and all for every light.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Happy to be a TRUE member of the Salvage Nation.... I had a house in NY that had been carved up into 4 apartments. it was built in 1863... with a root cellar basement... At one point I had a river running through that basement... thru a drainage tile and out into the front yard... where we had "Barrett Lake". The town had dug up the old water main and replaced it... but in the process they damaged the old pump well and plumbing that used to service the house. So THAT happened... but your situation reminds me of it. As to your ideas for merch... excellent. Many develop quite a substantial income stream from such activities. Others can hope for Big Red... but I actually want to see you rebuild all those cylinders on the Gehl and REALLY get it working well.

[@kevinknight470]

That skid steer looks and performs sooooo much better, thanx. The light demo in the parking lot probably had some people thinking a space ship had landed, great job on the lights. Rust never sleeps, so YES on the painting. Squatch 253 deals with older Cat crawlers, might get in touch with Toby to get a connection for Old Red parts. 😃

BUT, I watch almost every video you put out. Thank You Matt, keep doing what you are doing.

[@DustinKreidler]

@1:50:56 I am someone waiting on Old Red. I started watching your channel after the algorithm suggested you and I binged the first 4-5 Old Red episodes straight. I think the first 2-3 videos I watched were anvil salvages... but then Old Red appeared! I've learned so much watching you tear down and rebuild and fabri-cobble the parts you need. Take the time you need, hopefully people come forward with the parts/support you need. In the meantime, love all the content. Just know: Old Red is loved and eagerly awaited. :)

[@petermccall9354]

Hi yeah, when your using any kind of silicone, glue, window putty, from a corking tube the easiest way of removing excess product I found was by using soapy water as product doesn't stick to soap. Oh if you want it to be smoother than your finger, use a potato cut to the desired shape then dip in soapy water to stop sticking. hope this helps you Cheers Pete.

Recommendation for future projects. When you added the plate to the seat pan, drill a bunch of holes in the plate, clamp the plate to the seat pan then weld the plate to the seat pan through the holes in the plate, sort of like spot welding. Will make for a much stronger bond. Nice work on the skid loader.

Nevertheless, your dedication to preserving and enhancing your skid steer is admirable. Keep up the engaging series! 💪🔧🚜

[@chrisoakey9841]

As for the lights just mount some relays under the roof that do the switching. So position one activates circuit 1 2 circuit 2, and 3 3. The relays connected parallel to each other will isolate each circuit. You might also consider making Perspex panels for the sides to bolt onto the outside. In the summer you can take them off, in the winter you get less noise and warmer cab..

I love this channel on YT and I've watched about thirty of your video's by now, so there's a lot left to watch :) I also think that because you work alone except for the odd job where you need other hands, is excellent behaviour. I did that myself in years past when I was working (I'm 72 now and retired), and you always know that if the job got done, it was done to your own standards and not those of someone you don't entirely trust - so keep on trusting yourself mate. I'm from just south of London in the UK although I'm originally from Durham on the North East coast where Coal and Shipbuilding were kings, so I grew up with a healthy respect for people who got their hands dirty for a living. Always been into trucks and restorations, and have been involved in some truly iconic Veteran Truck restorations. There's only one thing I'd love to know about, and that is ..... where in the States are you ? Keep up the great work and more power to your elbow.

Anyway you want to be back in the stone ages keep doing it , And I also can’t believe you’re nearly had two hours of this video amazing Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

I don't have any money. Literally. This is the 2nd. time I've watched this video and I'm subbed. I would send you stuff but thieves have hit me hard. You have great content. Do whatever ever you want. It's all good.

Nice to see you finish this project. Some other people jump from project to project which makes it hard to keep in mind what is going on.
