Septic Hill Project, Episode 2
มุมมอง 4317 หลายเดือนก่อน
This project involves clearing and seeding a forested hill that covers our septic system leach field using a skid steer, a lot of chain saw work, and eventually a nice big bonfire. The trees were causing problems with the leach field and had to go. #skidsteer #chainsaw #danuser #intimidator

John Deere 329D Boom Cylinder Seal Replacement
มุมมอง 33K4 ปีที่แล้ว
A detailed video of how to remove the piston from a main boom hydraulic cylinder, replace the seals, reinstall the piston, then test the cylinder. I ended up taking the piston and shaft out twice due to a mistake, the second installation, towards the end of the video, has better video than the first. I made this video partly as a reminder in the likelihood that I have to do it again.

Compact track loader and attachments demonstration, going through the paces
มุมมอง 2.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
A demonstration of a track loader with several attachments, including the Danuser Intimidator, CID tree boom, CID Extreme Grapple, CID forks, SkidPro Land Leveler, and Skidpro 4n1 Bucket. At the end of the video is a review of other attachments available for skid steers. The video was produced for people new to compact track loaders and their capabilities.
Easiest way get the grease out is to use a board, tree etc cut to length and use the implement to push on the log etc against the front sprocket wheel. Basically use the "curl" of the machine to push the tract wheel in thus forcing out the grease.
I had seen that as well in other videos. I had also seen using tree limbs to get the track back on without releasing the tension, which I thought would be bad on the track itself, or otherwise apply undue stress on the rest of the track assembly. Any ideas on that?
Feel like I'm at a chiropractors office. Great video though!
Sticks work too
An excellent tutorial. Just purchased a 325G and expect to have to do this myself at some point. I’m going to order this set of tools to have on standby. There is a learning curve, no matter what you do in life, and this helped flatten it a bit for me. If you need ideas for future videos, one on servicing - and maybe some on operation of the various attachments you have - would be nice. Thank you for your time in putting this video together.
I have a ton of video, just haven't put together the videos themselves. Regarding servicing, other than the normal stuff like greasing, etc I haven't done much. The machine has needed a bunch, like replacing the main drive hydraulic lines. When one of those blew it was fun. Talk about loosing hydraulic fluid in a hurry.
Save yourself a lot of money. Get 3 pieces of solid to bar out an inch in a quarter in diameter and use. That does the same thing but a heck of a lot cheaper
Is the does or what? So why the funeral music? Ah he ha ha hehee
Why someone has equipment and knows nothing about it is beyond me. Lose the sucky music. It's called a grease nipple and it needs fully removed
2nd time will be way better !.. After you regrease.. Run it about 5 min.. Then giver er another few pumps
That is why I use wheeled machines in woods track machines are great but over wheel tracks will do just fine in bad conditions
I do quite a bit of soft terrain work, which doesn't seem like it would work well with wheeled skid steers? But, then again, as I noted this is my only experience with any skid steer. If I get the opportunity, wheeled does seem like it would be less maintenance if I could get it to work.
Take that “nut” ,which is actually a fitting, all the way out. Stand on track and force grease out. Once the front idler is all the way back, take your Texas tooth pick thing and slide the track back into place. See if you can send those pieces of 600$ rod stock back.
I love what I am learning from people who actually know what they are doing. The track hasn't come off since (knock on wood), but I have a list of things to do differently the next time. This includes, now, taking the fitting/nut all the way out. I'll hang onto the track tool things just in case.
well done
Thanks!
Excellent production. Thanks for sharing your story!
You are welcome!
I find they a much easier to put on if you have 6 people, an excavator, 2 winches, 3 hunting dogs, and a case of beer.
Hilarious! Yet...true.
Just there fool born every day.
What a frightening suite, some people don't belong on Equipment period. One big joke .
Agreed!
Great to see you supported a individual ideas, watching maybe some marketing chalk you could mark the track the amount it needs to move so you could view it from inside the cab when the mark is at a visual point ?
That's a great idea.
What diameter is the round stock?
I think 1.75". I replied in another post but couldn't find it.
@@dalewcox i used some 1.25” fence material the other day to switch tracks. What a time saver! I will definitely be buying some stock an creating something like this.
Works a whole lot better if you put those bars on the top front and use them to push on the front roller instead of the back.
Thanks for the tip. Another tip to add to the great suggestions I have received through the comments. It is a benefit I didn't expect, but is working great to get some great info from people who know what they're doing.
Lots of good information and practical tips put in there. It is appreciated. I prefer to have the whole process (good and bad) left in videos as well.
Thanks for the reply. I make these videos to help me remember what I did when I inevitably have to do it again so, yes, the goofs are also helpful to remember so I don't repeat them.
Been there and done that. Great video. Just ordered and received my Trackbar tools. It will make life easier next time I throw a tack.
I haven't thrown one again, but now I know what to do when I do. I hope they work well for you!
Thanks for the great demo of a land leveler. As a new owner of a track loader, this is one of the attachments I need to maintain our road.
Would you mind telling me what the diameter of the round stock on those is please?
1.75 inches. The three together weigh just shy of 50 lbs.
@@dalewcox thank you I appreciate it!
Couldn't you achieve the same thing with some 1" maybe 1 1/2" pipe? I'm all for innovation but 600.00 seems a bit steep for what they are.
I agree $600 is pricey, and do mention in the video that they could be made less expensively. I don't know how to weld (yet) and do like to support people who create something that helps. You probably could do it with just pipe, but the fact that it "clips" onto the track helps keep it in place, allowing for one person to do the job more easily, even though working alone (like I do a lot) isn't recommended. Thanks for the comment.
The bar is 1.75" in diameter, by the way. The three together weigh just shy of 50 lbs.
@@dalewcoxI am going to try to make my own. Going to the steel shop tomorrow anyway to pick up 1/4” for a lost skid plate. How I lost a skid plate is a great question. I’m going to start with 2” pipe and see if that works then just weld a 1.25” flat stock onto the end to make the hook. I’m not going to add the extra “fins” because I’m not sure they’re really needed. If this works it will be well under $100 for the steel and a few minutes of welding. If the 2” pipe is too big I’ll drop down to 1.75” and go from there. Might make a set for me and 2 for my friends with skid steers.
Very good video
Thanks! I make these for my own benefit as well. I have had to refer back to a video I made fixing a cylinder once already.
It’s all ways some thing good wrong with equipment, Main thing is to not take chances and get hurt or killed Every one needs some one with them while working period 😊
Sad that you didn’t have anyone watching you and helping you 😢
No, I unfortunately work on my own in the woods. My wife keeps pretty close tabs on me and she isn't far away, but even so not adviseable.
If you would unscrew the valve nut completely off the grease will come out way faster and before you screw the valve back on your need to change the o'ring on the end. That's probably leaking the grease pressure down and the track will start coming off. I change mine about every 2 yrs if it needs it or not. Had no problems for a long time. Hope that helps. :)
Thank you! I appreciate the tip..as you can tell, I am learning. I'll get some O rings.
Yon know that you will loose the grease again, like I said,...it is a lot easer to take the valve all the way out if your trying to re-track the track and the o'ring's is a game changer. Good luck and a well informed video.🙂@@dalewcox
I couldn't watch this, as it was too painful.
What do you mean?
Underrated comment. Takes all kinds of kinds.
Rest assured you will throw a track!
I am sure it is going to happen.
Turn off the music, way too load, can't hear what you are talking about.
Agreed. I'll upload another version.
Gracias por compartir. Me sirvio mucho, con lo que tú hiciste pude desarmar y volver armar dos gatos hidráulicos de una retroexcavadora john Deere. Saludos
No hay de que! I mostly recorded this so I could remind myself what to do next time...and I have used it for that! Me hace feliz can el grabado fue beneficial.
Music is terrible.
What music do you prefer?
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬😬
𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈M 🙃
So you’re saying 400.00 for the dealer to do this is a good price considering the seal kit is 180.00 lol
Yeah...today I am a bit short on cash AND time. Back when I did this I was shorter on time. Sometimes I am finding that I need to let people earn a living and focus more on what I am doing to earn mine. I don't earn a living doing this. Having said that, I enjoy the process and like to learn.

Fanstactic Procedure Sir.
Just a note on loctite. Use loctite primer spray before applying the loctite. The oils can interfere with its adhesion. It also will set it up way faster for a sooner full strength without contamination.
Or at least spray with break cleaner and let dry good will help also
👩🎓🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What a weird way of going about things. especially with the tree boom. grapple would've been better for those logs, an the pallet forks would've done better for the stairs.
Agreed on all fronts. There are certainly more ways to do these things and being a novice teaching myself, I will be the first to admit of doing things in weird ways. I'm having fun using implements, though, and keep finding new ways to accomplish tasks. Thanks for your comments!
You spilled a little oil. Not sure if you were aware. Great video! About to tackle the same repair myself.
I'm sure that was a sarcasm. I spilled a bunch of oil, unfortunately. Good luck on your repair! Mine is still holding just fine.
Great info
I know this is a year or more ago. Look up the manufacturer for the thread locker used to see which number of their product is needed. Not to mention most of them require a heat soak to remove. I say that as a small amount is what's needed. Just wet the thread lightly, enough to engage but not so much it has to drip off. Mainly for the next time you might need to disassemble..
Thank you for the tip. I have not had to disassemble anything yet on which I have applied Loctite, so hopefully when I need to I can! The blue is supposed to be released with significant force, whereas the red needs heat and force. I will say that I applied the red to a nut on a piece of equipment that was constantly vibrating loose, and on which I never saw the need to remove. That nut has not moved since!
@@dalewcox just so happened to be on here.. The color of thread lockers aren't always indicative of "Strength". I learned the hard way once before.. After someone else pointed out loctites website and their product chart I realized the general rule of thumb was way off. It's times like these we learn after the fact and hopefully we don't have to back track over a repair but if we do at least we have an idea about how to best go about it.
@@wayne251975 Interesting. Applying Loctite in this video was either the first or second time I ever used the stuff, so not a lot of use history for me. Thanks again for the tips. Literally the day before I saw your used the blue stuff again on some notes I know I will have to take off perhaps 3 years from now. Hopefully no harder lessons for me down the road.
Is this skid steer reliable and how much should I buy one fore
This is the only skid steer I have owned, I bought it used from a rental place, so it was fairly severely used, and I have had my fair share of repairs, mostly from it having been deep in mud at some point and associated corrosion from not having been cleaned out. Bottom line is I have in total about $35,000 into it at this point, and it shouldn't need anything but regular maintenance for some time to come, at least that is my hope. I am told if I wanted to sell it I should be able to get more than what I have into it. I love the machine, it can do a lot.
What are you using?
We were using a friends smaller tow behind gas powered wood splitter. I don't know the brand or model number.
that must've been quite the tree
Wearing a mask before it was cool 😂✌🏻. Good video.
Yep. Allergies were kicking my tail at that time. I hope the video was helpful. I mainly made it so I could remember what I did in case I have to do it again.
Piston ring compressor works great, using hose clamp will damage outer oring!!
What a massive job! It's interesting to see the time lapse and the time frames that it took! A whole lot of work!
