I respect how a young family man buys tired heavy equipment, repairs and maintains it to build his business. Thanks for the glimpse into your family. Stay healthy. 😊

[@CerebralAilment]

That things sweet. It needs a big black Dumpster Dave sticker!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks for making the stickers,

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Great video, and so happy that you rescued this older machine to further your growing business. Your daughter is precious. They way she came up to you with so much love and hugged your leg, and how she smiled when you said Thank you to her.🙂

[@williamnoel5092]

Excellent video. You are a talented young man and will go far in life with God's blessings...

[@LynS.651]

I like watching you work Dave as much as Andrew and it's an awesome vid when you guys do stuff together! Your both amazing people!✌💜

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@sams7655]

I like it when KZbinrs use extremely long extensions and screwdrivers so they can get the camera in very close to the work. Dave, all you need now is some of those really long pliers. Makes me feel like i helped with the job. You're welcome.

[@AppliedOCD]

Nice work DD! I enjoy seeing old, tired equipment brought back to life!

[@martingale7760]

A good video, dave, a white light plus two red light on the back would look nice plus useful.

[@leol1682]

Enjoy your video Dave on the old Kubota EXC, .

[@carldrexler7883]

I would’ve put 2 lights on Top of the cage and 1 on each side of the stick, you can never have too much light 💡 at night 😉

[@user-db7kt1wt3x]

Good job 👍 I like that little dump trailer too be good for firewood

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@kylejones2075]

Nice job nice little machine. Seems to work real well for you. Thanks for sharing!!!🎉

[@boinger1988]

Great stuff as always Dave! Keep up the good work

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks, will do!

[@masheenman]

Thats a good wee machine i prefer the older stuff u dont get much hassle with them im in a komatsu 360 straight boom and get codes all the time

[@canvids1]

Seems to you got a pretty good used machine and you went all over it and fixed what you had to change how you like the controllers for the levers. Great video and thanks.

[@carldrexler7883]

What a cute little girl. Savior the time with her you blink and she will be all grown up 😢

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

Grab a paint sample of Kubota orange or excavator black and colour match it at the hardware store.Whether from the machine itself or an old paint can,they will get a perfect match,and way cheaper than kubota original paint.AND its a perfect match.Kubota scalped me once,and that ended that.

[@jakebroesky4409]

Bloody hell i missed Dave getting an excavator lol time to go look back

[@floydjackson298]

Thanks for the videos. Keep on trucking.

[@art1muz13]

The surprising truth about wood chippers... Maybe Dumpster Dave can make a nice one, but big!

[@kevinaltizer]

Andrew's got one of them nice shiny heat guns for the shrink wrap. DD just whips out the ole bic lighter lol

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

That machine is not to bad atoll it gets the job done that's what counts.

[@kpinc8898]

Mostly, changing hoses to get right joystick moves isnt really good idea, because hydraulic distributor gives different flows and pressure on each function. That way this excavator be weaker on some moves and too strong on another function

[@MrTruckerf]

Never heard this before. Mine seems to have the same pressure on each outlet- I don't see why it wouldn't.

[@StaySlyh]

Awesome video as always! The lack of deburring when wiring those lights is stressing me out tho! Lol

[@annechristiansen941]

Tusen takk for videoen. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯

[@joehamilton3709]

Great idea spraying over dirt and grease

[@brotherbruce]

I think he cleaned it off camera.

[@99Projects]

got to get one of those Milwaukee battery 3/8 ratchets

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yes

[@Melicoy]

Thanks Dave. Try to start your videos with positive comments. People really like positive comments like. We going to get this done. Lets look around as see if we can find it. Wouldn't it be funny if...

[@karaayers2867]

That old girl deserves a new ebay thumb and earl scheib paint job this winter

[@rubenmolnes]

Inline fuse would be great on those lights :)

[@Dumpster_Dave]

There’s a fuse on the power side

[@young11984]

Ive seen the lever under your feet, under the front lip of the floor, hood and all over the place. Some wasnt even a lever just a hex head on a junction block looking piece.

Dave you need a lowboy dumpster trailer.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

That would be sweet

[@farmingsmallkubota1783]

Tractor supply Majic kubota orange is much cheaper 9.99 and works really well. I have used on all of my kubota machines

[@Dumpster_Dave]

The color doesn’t match perfect

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Good thinking with wearing safety glasses just gotta try best to keep them not scratched up and clean. I got dirt in my eyes before it’s not fun obviously

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I got metal in my eye years ago and had to go to the hospital and they took it out with a needle. The numbing part was the worst.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

@@Dumpster_Dave I have got rust in my eyes luckily was able to wash it out Keep wearing safety glasses it’s annoying but you don’t want to go through they again I don’t want to get into a bad situation like I could have got in if I didn’t wash my eyes out or didn’t know I had small rust crumbs in my eye. I felt it luckily and washed it out

[@pmiller7886]

I will second the safety squints approval, glad to see it Dave, my guys fight me all the time about wearing them. If I hadn't been wearing them, there are 10x in the past 30 years I would have had a serious injury or lost an eye. Anyhow, love the LED lights Dave, that Kubota is going to serve you well. I'm excited to see what you do on the new to you track loader👌

[@tite-r-tone8258]

My yanmar is newer than that machine and doesn't have a pattern change lever.

[@KenMrKLC]

Is that a dump insert mounted to a trailer? It looks pretty decent all painted blue. I notice you have a couple Dakota trucks it seems one with a plow. Have you plowed with it yet? Curious how it does… I have had a few Dodge Dakota and considered a 6.5 size plow … I have had many different setups for plowing over the years.

[@user-dt7lu2zr8r]

Heydumpsterdave you need to convert a old wood chipper before OSHA to a tub grinder and grind that to mulch and sell it off

[@cecilveley5722]

Go,,,,, Dad 😊

[@Joe-mf4jx]

Seems like you need to tighten up the canopy or out ina cross brace

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I have to check that

[@MrBoiler09]

Hi Dave, Nice vids so far. Hope you at least trimmed zip ties? 😊

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I did

[@andrewbrenneman9592]

Dave, a machine that old more likely doesn't have a pattern control switch. And I would not have any idea what the price might be to have such a valve installed. Most new (if not all new) excavators have a pattern control valve assembly installed at the factory or dealership. But your machine may not have room to install such a valve assembly.

[@rovhalgrencparselstedt8343]

That machine is probably too old and/or too small to have a switchover lever.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

To old, the newer 40 has it

[@StephenKennedyCanada]

How many pick up trucks do you own? Keep up the great work!

[@cecilveley5722]

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ never saw a lever either??? 😮

how come she's so squeaky when moving? sounds like metal on metal really bad. how is that fixed? cool videos.

A Kubota dealership charging $25.00 for a can of spray paint that cost .59 cents to make in china---that sounds about right.

Hey Davis geoghan hey buddy I watch all your videos I got a couple questions for you where did you get those lights at for your excavator and if you can could you send me the number off of that wiring I need to get me some and it's pretty decent looking wire appreciate you bro keep up the good work
