How to buy Cheap Chinese Excavator from eBay and review, Good investment?
My bid won! I spent weeks looking for an excavator for home use. Purchasing off Alibaba seemed cheap at $2000, but after shipping and taxes I was quoted over $6,600. So I decided to look elsewhere and found other companies were selling theirs on eBay for $4,899 with free shipping. After contacting these companies, I found that I would need a fork lift to get it off the truck once it arrived which I didn't have which was a big problem. I then searched eBay for local excavators and found this one. I was lucky, it was located at Bidadoo Inc about 30 minutes from my house. I watched the auction closely and placed my max bid 15 minutes before the auction ended. I jumped with joy when I won the bid at $4,300.
I have a lot of landscaping that needs to be done. The dirt here is filled full of river rock which is gruesomely tiring to dig by hand. I took a wild chance and purchased a brand new AGT Mini Excavator from eBay.
After researching these excavators and looking on Alibaba.com and getting an estimate for shipping, I decided to bid on one selling on eBay. The one I purchased was not my first choice, I thought perhaps I could get an H13R for even cheaper since it was damaged in shipping. However, that one sold for even more than what the one I bought did. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Here is a glimpse of my adventure with a new Mini Excavator and dealing with bee's so happy I got an enclosed cab.

My tankless water heater started making a thumping noise. I have never heard this noise before, it sounded like pipes banging against the wall. So I did what my best to track down why is my tankless water heater making noise. I ended up finding out that I had a second problem!

Another night of testing at Pacific Raceways, I am completely satisfied with how well this budget or cheap truck is performing. In this video I hope to break in the 11's, can I do it? Even though it was hotter out than I would like, I pull out all the tuning aids I have time for in an effort to get there. The 355 small block chevy laid down some rubber.

Experiencing The Cleetus McFarland Driving Experience
Have the same issue. I used oil dye and a blue light. Had to keep the motor running but eventually saw it was my oil pan gasket. That was over a year ago and it has done wounders for rust prevention.
I love this comment! wish there was more like it! Thanks for sibscribing
You might have wanted to start on the fact that your engine making funny noises afterwards. It''s already in my tank. thumbs down.
Thanks for subscribing. Sorry if my content doesn't meet your needs, I can try and do better. All my video's are from the cuff as it is at the moment. I don't follow a script, it's just here it is and this is how I interpret what's going on. I really appreciate your feedback though, I consider it constructive criticism and that's the only way I can become a better TH-camr. Continue to watch my videos and let me know where I can improve.
Thatl be fun and useful. Especially after you've run it enough to get the "moves" down. Uncle Dwight
Yes if I ever get the controls down.
Sounds like it runs horrible
It does sound that way when it's just off idle, that's the governor kicking in to keep it low. at WOT it runs smooth and powerful
man something like that.. I could see myself using that alot
I have done a ton of work with it, I plan to do an upgrade video and show the work I have done with it. I'm not efficient yet.
If you are lifting put blade to front. Digging down put blade to rear. So when you put force it lifts the 2000 on bucket and digs easier. As far as controls it's what you get use to. I like backhoe controlls because what I lurned. Your hour meter not plugged in. Need to buy one that raps around spark plug. Cost about 10.00. Change oil soon I do have videos on mods if it help. All these machines are about the same
I've been wondering about the hour meter, it does not seem to count correctly. Or atleast it feels like I've ran the machine longer than an hour.
@cheapskatenation it is the type if u leave power on it will add hours. Look at underneath it is unplugged so if disconnect is left on wount add hour. It is a problem with all these mini excavator
@@jtsokiehobbyandadventures6666 I will check into it
Esta porqueria se va a romper, cuanta potencia en algo tan pequeño
Yr. correct, It's hard to tell when oil is all. over, so you clean it all off & then drive it, come back & ck again, before starting repairs. These engines commonly leak @ the oil pan & rear main.
Thanks for subscribing, my original leak has drastically slowed down. Next oil change is coming up, I plan to clean everything the. Let it run for a while and see if I can see any other places.
80$ is not going to get out your 25 year old mold, buddy.
I know a couple people who might want to take a spin in that!
Was that the problem
do far it seems like it is!
Did you check the crank sensor above the starter?
No I did not, didn't even know it was there. But I will next oil change
DEALER RIPOFF!!! I just did this job on my 2012 Tahoe 4x4. It took literally 5 minutes to change when I was doing an oil change. The part was $6 (Felpro). You get great access to this when the oil filter is out, no need to remove driveshaft. Use a box wrench with a ratcheting flex head (cheap at a place like Harbor Freight). On another note, be very careful when using stop leak in your engine. That stuff has terrible friction properties and may actually cause damage if left in too long. Although I am not super experienced on this topic, I believe the best approach is to not use it if possible (fix the actual leak), or change the oil a short time later to avoid possible damages. Besides this leak that the Tahoe had, the rest of the vehicle underside is completely dry. My older silverado on the other hand, needs some work! BTW, thanks for your service brother!
ohh I know, thanks for subscribing
On my 5.3 oil is leaking from the oil pressure sensor, intake plenum cover, oil pan, oil cooler cap, valve covers, dip stick O ring, camshaft sensor, oil fill port, rear engine cover, front engine cover, oil level sensor, and rear main seal think im going to try spay foam.
I don't know if that would work to seal it up, Sounds like your ready for a rebuild
Lol, leaking out of every opening!
That 5.3 is suffering 😂😭
shes the girl that said remeber in the plane she said whatever behind there s not real that her
Awesome cars and trucks. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
My m12 can’t even break 50 ft lbs🥲😂
Great repair bro!
Been 2 weeks and it's still holding stout
Have mini van that seems to have a slow leak. Getting warmer
it could work for you cuz it worked for me
Looks like new!
Hey thanks for posting. I'm a chic but like the random stuff in Harbor Freight...sending the hubby lol
They don't sell gravel at harbor freight, I appreciate your like, share, and subscribe.
But they do pressure washers 😊
It's so small
I’m an electrical apprentice, and my m12 impact is everything I could ask for, and plenty of power for what I’m doing, lightweight,tiny, and for what I’m doing the battery lasts me the whole week
Study hard, that's a great trade to be in.
A little advice for the bolt drop, get a flat head screw driver or a tool for the plastic caps that has two flat heads in one on it, kinda like a horseshoe, they will hold the screw while you unscrew it. Also my son wobbles his head like that, when he talks 😂
Will try, thanks for subscribing!
dope video
Thanks 💯
There is a thin metal cap on the bell housing that you can pop off and take a peak up in there and see if there is oil anywhere all up in there to possibly rule out a rear main seal leak.
Remove and replace fuse to reset
maybe I can try that next time
This will never get old!!
Get er done!
Sold the falcon but hot a chopped 29 five window coupe with a 454 ill bc e running next yr . Need si angle pla NB e red no
I figured someone would snatch that up.
Sounds sick af at idle. Keep wrenching she’s getting faster every pass brother
Is this an option for small block turbo aplications??
I don't see why not, but if you are looking to adjust the boost and timing then look elsewhere. But if you want to set it and forget it, have a launch control, burn out rev limit or and fatal rev monitor this will work for that.
if you never done it it's not fun , for the most hp and the longest life don't do by hand, the ring mfg should tell what finish and what cross hatch , just the taper you will put in it by hand will kill the rings at 7 k to 8k rpm, i won't try it, rings have gotten high tech and need to be done correct good luck your basic auto shops may not be capeable ,you need a race car shop
I will look up the manufacturer specs and see what it says. I did it on the 355 that's still in the truck and running low 12 second passes. Be interesting to tear that one down and see what they look like. Thanks for subscribing.
Scat crankshaft and rod which l or h beam handle only 500-600 hp??
Perfect, that's all the HP I need. If the engine had that much power I would be thrilled. Tha ks for Subscribing.
Thanks for the video! I have same problem on my 07 Chevy Tahoe
I tried doing this with the m18 on a motor mount and the adapter broke clean off lol. I ended up with breaker and a pipe.
I am sorry for your loss. Thanks for subscribing
That’s a little freakin beast
pertronix manual says only plug their distributors into their digital hp black ignition box. ok just to attach like stock setup to the coil? want to get an hp box but have to wait a month or so. got the vehicle with just pertronix distributor and flamethrower coil... and it runs.
The box will allow you to program things like launch control and rev limitor. Also I called Petronix and it is possible to program nitrous to activate at certain rpm. Which I will be doing a video on once I have the Nitrous Express kit installed. Thanks for subscribing.
Great.. lol it's already in the tank😂😅
Chevys. Gotta love em.
Hell yeah, thanks for subscribing
Looks soooo good! I bet that meat explodes in your mouth just like the 4th 😅
It was!
Have been a skeptic of oil sealant that being said I can't say enough about AT 205 reseal an amazing product for seals don't know if it will help gasket but definitely works for seals anything except never put it in brake fluid. It's for engines, trans,ps,diffs hydraulic leaks just follow directions.
Have only found on Amazon.
I'm going to try and use that, the truck doesn't have nearly the leak it did when the video was made. If does what it's supposed to it should help the rear main seal for a while.
Don't put foreign substances in you vehicles fluids just like you wouldn't inject your own body with em .sure it may work for a little while and may make you feel great..but chances are down the road will be heavy consequences for doing it.
@@cheapskatenationcheck the crank sensor above the starter
@@BigFoot420n1 I did. not know there was one there. Thanks for subscribing!
Note also synthetic oil leaks out always after switching to regular 10w40 oil leaks slowed down
Put a cartoon under it in driveway and u ll be able to know where the leak coming from, but i can tell u they all leak on top oil filter on oil cooler line conection even doesnt have cooler line
I can tell you now that there is only 1 tiny drip, the oil cooler block of plate that was repaired in the video was the main culprit. It's been quite a while since the repair was made, I had it in the shop last weekend and there was no oil on the floor after sitting over night. I look forward to doing the next oil change and post an update or maybe a new video if there is something else. Thanks for your comments and subscribing.
Its oil cooler line
Using 10w40 oil has slowed down leak a lot

yeah the oil down didn't help either
