Great video John, lovin that 90deg ratchet👏🏻👍🏻🇮🇪

[@justkiddin1980]

With the brake situation couldn’t it have been installed wrong way around?? You know that they turned the complete bar around?

[@blaircox1589]

Your videos have become therapy for me now. Gone through a separation and had to sell all my tools, gear, toys. Can't do much in an apartment, but at least I can still watch you work away with yours. Many thanks.

[@arik5983]

It is insane how much effort you put in these videos, besides work itself, camera work with multiple angles is top notch and editing like this 1,5hour video with voice overs must take forever. And big inspiration to anybody to work with things even if they don't excatly know what they are doing.

[@jim6390]

❤ this is way better than tv kids could watch and learn and parents

[@SCHAUDENLUCAS]

Absolutely! I really wonder how many hours he invests in editing one of those videos. Probably two days.

[@arcrad]

”Farmer Jon's Home for Neglected Heavy Equipment” is my favorite channel these days. But seriously, it's impressive how much you improve these old machines by just paying attention to detail and how things should work properly.

[@chimerahitman]

By the way most videos reflect the state of the machines and how some TLC gets 'em tip top, I feel that the culture of work fast - no time for nothing really hurts everyone at the end of the day. In a sense, its cool to find cheap gems, but on the other many serviceable machines get "dumped" for no other apparent reason than no time to fix that. I know times money and "can't do it now" is a fact that troubles us all, but eventually there must be a bit of down time for maintenance.

[@arcrad]

@@chimerahitman I agree completely

[@CCWSig]

I use baby powder when searching for leaks in cramped quarters. Get everything cleaned up, dust powder around and wait a bit. Makes it super easy to see where fluid is coming from.

[@RobertFay]

*- BRILLIANT ! ! ! What a great Pro-Tip solution to a big problem.

[@thatrealba]

Yep, this is a great old trick that I've taught to a couple of nephews. Sad thing is that I don't always remember to do it myself! 😅

[@nodaklojack]

Real talcum powder has become less obtainable. Most is corn starch based now, I imagine it should work the same, hopefully.

[@76844]

John, I'm gonna be honest here bud, you are a different species of human that is no longer the majority. The shit you do on this channel, the various levels of jack of all trades you engage in, is an intelligence on it's own. The shit you've self learned doesn't have a class someone can take to learn about, you are an inspiration to all.

[@allstylinone5122]

Yeah, seriously! There's not many left in the world with common sense anymore! 😢

[@steve2736]

Truly! Anyone who’s repaired his own equipment can appreciate that this farm boy is truly a tough, resilient and capable man. Rare.

[@jimbeckettplay]

My Skid-steer PTSD was just triggered! Thanks Jon... My dad owned a rental yard, and we had a Hydra Mac 9C that burned one summer. A landscaper had rented it from us, and was using it to spread wood chips, many of which found their way into the belly of the beast. He spilled diesel fuel in there while refueling it one day. Nobody noticed that it had caught fire until well after he shut it down for the day, and had gone home. The damage wasn't bad enough to total the machine, so we decided to fix it. Taking it to the dealer to have it fixed wasn't going to be useful, as that was us...LOL We initially removed the engine and hydraulic system, replaced all the electrical wiring, starter, alternator and hoses. Any plastic or rubber parts got replaced. We sent the pumps and motors out to be resealed by the local hydraulic shop which had always done stellar work for us. Should have been a slam-dunk repair. But, no.... I chased oil leaks on that machine for months. I had much the same problems that you did with old Val there. I couldn't isolate the leak and where it was coming from for the longest time. It turned out that the hydraulic shop had missed a couple of O-rings in the pumps when they inspected and resealed them for us. To be fair, the overlooked O-rings were behind steel block off plates that were retained by snap rings and covered so thickly with paint by the factory, that you could not tell they were there. I still have nightmares...

[@FarmCraft101]

That's painful. We can commiserate!

[@itsnetts]

I assume you don't have that skid steer anymore, since you "had" one? Too many painful memories to keep it?

[@mikeprimm4077]

I just want to say thank you for the amount of effort you put in to these videos. It really shows. You can tell some KZbinrs just film anything, slap it together and publish it. Not you. You take time with your camera angles, think things through. I work for a construction company in Southwest Florida and I operate a skid steer daily, part of my job is maintaining the equipment too. I'm not a mechanic but I'm handy. I have to improvise stuff like you do all the time. I could not imagine having thousands of people standing there watching me try to figure out something I've never done before and have no idea how to do. The fact that you include mistakes, you could easily edit out makes it even more genuine. I know how frustrating it is trying to chase down a oil leak in a machine, I couldn't imagine doing it on camera with thousands of people watching criticizing everything I do. Not just as you do it, but once you do it, You have it figured out. So the next time you do it you can take shortcuts and streamline your process. That video is up until you remove it, for people to criticize how you did something years ago potentially that you had no idea how to do. You could very easily go back once you have it figured out make a video of you doing everything right the first time, publish it and no one would know. You're honesty, and openness is refreshing. I appreciate the amount of effort you put in, lugging around camera gear has to add hours to your day. Figuring out shot angles, all well trying to do something that you've never done before. Sorry about the rambly post lol. But I really enjoy your videos and I just wanted to say thank you for the time you take, for our entertainment

[@FarmCraft101]

It's nice that some people realize how much effort it takes! Cheers!

[@karlbeckmann8865]

And it is amazing what I learn NOT to do when watching Jon looking for the reason something is broken. Always had a Blackthump but seeing how he approaches these things made me get so much better. I learn a LOT from him. Amazing. Always thrilled to be able to watch a new video on the weekends.

[@firewalker1372]

Hour and a half farm craft video!! Nice!

[@chrissmith7655]

Totally agree.

I cried with joy when finally you say '.. nooo leaky-leaky!'

[@sidsixseven]

Never a good sign when you’re at the 47 minute mark with 40+ minutes to go and he’s “testing to see if there are any other leaks”.

[@LeeRodrigue]

That's a sure sign of an awesome video!

[@tmscheum]

BTW - Jon, I wanted to compliment you on your land stewardship and how you graze Big Mama and the rest of the herd. Been watching videos of new(old) grazing practices and one of the hallmarks of good stewardship is the presence of quail. In your last video on the excavator I distinctly and repeatedly heard the “Bob-white” call! Kudos!!!!!

[@Rito_Cephi]

Highlight of my day when I see there's a new video, and it's an hour and a half!! please never apologise for videos getting "too long" because not one time have I ever thought one was running too long. I could watch all day!

[@nekkiddan]

Jon, I think I need therapy! I'm the retired dairy farmer and after getting up at 3:30 to milk cows all of my life, I just cannot sleep in until the sun comes up. I'm awake at no later than 4 - 4:30. I'm getting a little bit better, at least it isn't 3:30 anymore. That said, I get up, go into my office, put on a pot of coffee, turn on the computer and watch FarmCraft 101! I absolutely love your videos and I love watching you take on a problem and not giving up on a cheap, quick fix. Like you, on our farm, we did most of the work Farmers have to because labor cost so much. One thing I never did and now I wish that I had, is to rebuild an engine. Just about everything else, I've done, outside of working with a lathe! I am humbled by your talent on that machine. I never worked with one in our high school Vo. Ag. program. I don't believe there's one thing you cannot make. Please, keep going with these projects. Here's a project for you, get yourself an old used milk tank and make yourself a water wagon for your brush fires. Here's another one When you find yourself wondering what to do, have a picnic at your farm and invite the city dwellers out for a visit. I was shelling corn outside of a small community that was having a church supper. After the folks ate, they came over to the field I was in and watched me shell corn. When I dumped the hopper, several men came over and wanted to know if they could climb onto the combine and watch. I invited them up and of course the question of price came up. "How much was this machine, they asked?" "How much do you think it was I asked back?". Twenty five thousand was this man's response. I told him that wouldn't even cover that tax! He just about fell off of the combine. I then told him that a new combine was now over a million, and then you have to buy a head for it. A grain head is now over $100K. Once again, he was absolutely blown away. He loved it when I asked him if he would like to make a round with me. I closed up the cab, turned on the AC and made a round with him. Again, he was just ga ga! I'm pretty sure that his church supper and his trip to corn field is still talked about today! The way that man felt is the way I feel about your videos. I'm left speechless. I thought I was pretty good fixing and repairing equipment but your talent is way out there and I love what you are doing and love watching you do it. Keep it up. Be blessed my friend. There are many watching you that won't tell you but they too, love what you do!

[@anthonyhoult152]

What can I say other than Farm Craft videos just get better 1 1/2 hours of just pure enjoyment to watch. Val is definitely living upto her name John. and dare is say it that I think you have finally fixed her like new. Think I might just have to rewatch some of previous Farm Craft videos till next week now. 👍👍👍

[@toeknee5464]

Yup me too the longer videos are great 👍 👌 lots of channels have said they don't want to make them too long, people would get bored and maybe it's more work to edit but if the footage is there and they just cut a bunch of stuff out I don't get it, most people are watching more for entertainment than they need an answer to some question, even 1 hour to me is a bit short when it was a 3 or 4 day job, why not add in another 45 minutes to the video, great stuff 🦭

Today I was using some noxious chemicals in my basement and in between many short bouts of waiting for something to dry, trimmed/cut down some trees behind my house and dug up some rocks to make a path.

A tip for removing hoses- use a cotter pin removal tool ( It’s a pointy end bend at 90 degrees essentially and has a handle). Insert that and break the seal around the hose.

[@charleslaatz6189]

A mechanic pick

[@houstonfirefox]

Jon, great video! Quick tip from the aviation world: When we route hoses and other tubes on aircraft engines that are close to contact with each other we'll put a heavy-duty zip tie around one hose loosely, then around the other hose looping through the zip tie on the first hose - then cinch both of them tight. This keeps the hoses separated so they don't rub together yet firmly in place so they don't vibrate at all. Might want to give that a try in the future 😊

I love to watch channels specializing in cutting and/or mulching brush with skid steers and similar mowing attachments. Those channels, however, don't often show you much maintenance beyond sharpening blades or replacing cutting lugs. Nice video, as always, Jon.

Retired machinists/repairman. On your adjusting plate for the forward, reverse selection, I’ve always found those -4- rollers to be cam rollers.

Hi from Australia I just sold my caterpillar 216b skid steer with a heavy duty hydaraulic slasher. This makes me regret the sale even though it increased in price and I made good money. They are a really handy and safe machine to operate in my opinion. Safer than a tractor on steep hills that is. Tell you what you had me sweating having to wait an extra week for an instalment of you awesome channel and beautiful property. I’ve never binged an entire channel until last week, where I watched every episode. Great information and very entertaining. My wife cracks up with your seal jokes every time. Got introduced to your channel a few years ago with your how to tree cutting video and stayed for all the awesome info, awesome research you must put into every video. Your focus and attention to detail sets you apart in my opinion. You’ve done great things with that property mate, shows us what hard work and sweat equity can get you. Keep it up!!

Hello Jon, I have been a maintenance technician for over 20 years and lead a small maintenance team at a small company. I find your videos very interesting, and you explain things very well, very back to the basics. I also like to use your materials as training material. We have received some training from Parker, Indonorm, or Rexrotht, and what I noticed recently in your videos is that you must take care of your hoses. They are chafing against a fender, and I can assure you that they will break. If you already have the thing open, do something about it. It is definitely a bad idea to run hoses past edges and corners because, as you know, they move when they build up and release pressure, and they will chafe. Additionally, I just want to say I think your channel is really cool. I am currently watching one of your videos. You do a great job, and I find your error finding process fantastic. You are very knowledgeable about the subject. Greetings from a fellow maintenance man in Germany. Kai ChatGPT kann Fe

45 years in electro-mechanical as a machinist. I kept a small stock of aluminum round bar to make seal installers. I would make the inner diameter about .001" bigger than the shaft so that the installer would remain square to the shaft, seal and bore. The outer diameter of the installer is about .010" smaller than the bore/seal outer diameter. Works perfectly.

[@FarmCraft101]

Surprised I didn't think of that, thanks. I have some 2" aluminum bar that I could have used for this. Cheers.

Would highly recommend for finding or verifying hydraulic leaks clean pig matts are your best friend . Cant tell you how many times pressure washing ,drying with compressed air and then putting pig matts down on the belly pan have allowed me to find multiple leaks on units exactly like yours .

I guess you have expected what I have! the engineers that designed this thing are in two categories. Some would have committed suicide while those who are still alive are in asylums. Its a joke people, but a joke with all seriousness intended. How many times I have already said "holy shit", and I am just watching. I'm nor a pro mechanic. I turn my own wrenches whenever possible. I was the chief engineer for a great volunteer fire dept. I always tell everyone "They made me chief engineer because I had more tools than anyone else." I still remember crawling up and into the transmission area of a 1947 american La France to unstick the pump / road gear. FarmCraft you are one of the best channels to watch. I turn 80 years old in November this year and I still work on my diesel truck and diesel tractor. Thanks for sharing!!!!

As someone who works on excavators all day long for a Cat dealer, I'd recommend you get yourself a set of angle wrenches. The extra two angles you get with them makes working on hydraulics line much, much easier.
