A day in the life of RPR, heavy equipment repairs, and troubleshooting tips while on the clock. Working at the ranch and on side jobs when I am off the clock, hanging out with the family, and all sorts of shenanigans in between. 5 Acre off grid living, various home improvements along the way. Tips, tricks, and hacks, efficiency is key. My posted videos are my process, by all means, if you know a shortcut or hack, I am all ears. All I hope is to educate the next generation of technicians to be better than I am, if I can do that, then I have succeeded.

Case 9370 Stubborn A/C pt2
มุมมอง 1962 ปีที่แล้ว
2nd half of troubleshooting this tractor for intermittent A/C problems, Found the low pressure switch had hung up, bypassed that, ran for another hour, and came back for no A/C. No power to compressor, further troubleshooting revealed the main connector on the engine harness, was full of bad connections, butt connectors, and rubbed through spots.
Case 9370 Stubborn A/C pt1
มุมมอง 2412 ปีที่แล้ว
Troubleshooting this tractor for A/C not working, found thermostat had been bypassed, tested old thermostat and found it to be good, hooked up correctly, continued troubleshooting, found the A/C relay had an intermittent bad connection. No new relay on hand, so I swapped it for another less used relay, while waiting for parts.

You need a new tailgate that shit got a hole in it that’s junk
I buy these saws from Wagner chainsaws. I pay em for break in & going over nuts & bolts.
The edelbrock 1.5 turns the Qjet I start at 3-3.5 turns

Great commentary!
Thermostats are higher up where the pipe with the o ring goes
I have to change my G56 oil soon. I bought 7 quarts of Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid. Still need to get the CV boot from Napa
fuq buddy need more videos bin a very long time
Dzięki za film jest dla mnie pomocny w renowacji mojego 9350. pozdrawiam
The Holzfforma bars seem to have roller sprockets up to so long, then solid like yours, just something I noticed, I bought the 26” when I ordered mine, was going to get the 36” a few weeks later but the bigger bars say solid
I’m assuming yes but want to make sure do you need to empty the coolant to do this?
My 2006 LBZ 3500 was just stolen at 12 in the night. I heard them start the truck and by the time I got outside the truck was gone.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get your truck back, and in better shape than I got mine back in
@@rprlife9381 it's been 5 days, it's a goner. It was in perfect condition, so assuming it was a parts truck I'm never seeing it again. I have full cover but it still blows. I'm going to save for a L5P. I live in California, and crime is up the roof right now.
where have you bin waiting for videos
My apologies buddy. The videos will commence very soon.
Yup I encounter too many bolts for the retainers are either broken or missing. Awesome video🤟
Thanks 👍
Just fixed mine today. I almost bypassed the latch switch as well but I knew it worked because the window functioned if I depressed the latch by hand. It just wouldn’t work when the tailgate was closed. Disassembled the latch and found the safety switch (plunger style) rod had slipped to the side of the latch and would not depress enough when tailgate was closed. I bent the switch mounting bracket just a hair to kick the plunger rod back in line with the latch and now the window works perfectly!! Only took about 12 years to figure out 😂
None the less you got it fixed, hope the video was helpful.
When you spun that fan clutch my mind was screaming “Change that” it’s simply not worth the extra time to do it again.
I agree, I would have preferred to change it. Time is money in this industry, it is costing the company x amount of dollars for each hour the equipment is sitting, so most of the repairs are just enough to get it going, and try to schedule additional repairs at a later day when there is a lower demand for the equipment. Unfortunately it's something we have to deal with as technicians.
The thermostat is above that on the upper hose on the 1st head, hot side
would love to see a service truck tour.
I would think an 18 inch piece of hose in a loop would last a lot longer. And be cheaper than a Cat part.
The two hardlines are right in line with each other, if they were offset a bit, I bet your idea would work well.
Thanks for showing the process. With the unavailability of diesel shops, the more of these how to videos out there the better. I’m gonna swap mine in my cabover, just wanted to lay some eyes on the deal.
Glad I could help.
Love the videos man. I’m a cat operator so it’s pretty cool to see you working on these big cats!!
Thanks
Just got the G660 Pro. Replaced the chain adjuster with O.E.M. , and bought the high volume oil pump from Farmer Tec. as I had same issues with bar oil on the 36” bar. Runs well, have 5 tanks of gas through it so far.
Need to do the same on mine.
You are a good worker man. Keep it up . I’ve seen plenty of your videos . 👍
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Just found your channel. Some quality content here.
Thank you.
Dudes that design machines, don’t give a hoot about the guy that has to repair in the field.
Very true. Most things are designed as though they will never break or leak, and then we are stuck dealing with it
Protects the hose from the clamp
Nailed it. Good catch. Trouble shooting can be frustrating
To be effective at troubleshooting, you have to understand the system, whether it's A/C, hydraulics, electrical, etc.. in some cases it can be time consuming.
That test light doesn’t tell you shit. Look at a set of loadpro test leads. Like the video other than the test light lol.
I have a set of load pro leads, but 99% of the time I go for my test light because it is fast, one handed, and I am usually just looking for voltage, I will load the circuit if needed, but usually it's not necessary.
Supprised the company was ok with the oil all over the ground.
At the very bottom of all the dups is a liner with a pump, they leach the copper out of the rocks, it all flows to the bottom and is pumped out for processing
Is that a display? its a old MUI engine, havent seen one in ages! LOL
It sure is. It's an overlook, you can see into the mine from there.
Great trouble shooting tips.
Glad I could help
Great contents!
Thanks
Short but super informative video. Plus your method of explaining things is just wonderful
I am here to make future tech's better than me, I will share all my tips and tricks along the way.
We’re you not thinking it might be the starting aid? Also hooked to the ignition circuit.
The start aid would not have taken power away from the cab. Once the ignition switch is closed that powers up the cab, and the start aid circuit through the main power relay. The start aid is for either injection which we do not use, it doesn't get cold enough here for that..
@@rprlife9381 thank you for clarifying that. I am trying to improve on my diagnostic skills and you are a lot of help.
I am here to help. Thx for the comments.
How old was the old belt?
If I remember right, I think it was 2 years old.
It is always interesting that no one said that the some of the lights were out previously. They didn’t all go out at the same time.
That is true. I bet some of those lights were out for a month or more.
What if you fill it full of grease would that help with keeping the dirt out?
The dirt getting in is not much of a big deal, I am sure grease would keep the dirt out, but it would make it a mess to change out
Why did the alarm still come on after the wire repair?
Belt was slipping at high idle. Repaired the wire, the alarm came on again at high idle, I shut it down and tightened the belt and it was good after that.
Just got my 07 stolen yesterday
Sorry to hear that, hopefully yours gets recovered in better shape than mine did.
Good vid and tks for the tour....... (quick note don't be afraid to make longer vids. We'll watch it👍👍)
I appreciate the feedback, historically my longer videos don't get as many views. I enjoy teaching and explaining theory or operations. Maybe I am just now finding the right audience for some longer, more technical videos.
Good vid.. quick little fix👍
Thx
Hi you should hide your password , good job
I didn't notice it until after the video. It does get changed on a schedule.
Do you work for a cat dealer? Or where do u get sis and cat et from?
Ive been looking for videos on electical and ac. Two birds with one stone! Thanks
No problem!
Thanks for the intro and focus on troubleshooting, I'm an equipment mechanic in Canada, just 4 years into it. Also off grid on solar.
Very cool! Thats the purpose of the videos, to make other tech's better than me. Glad I could help out.
Ball joint from hell is an understatement.
That's true.
Nice videos.
Thanks!
Good video, that pump stack has a pump per axle that circulates axel oil thru the coolers you mentioned.
Cool, thanks
First time watching like the belief in your idea of parts change it thank you for being a good man
I appreciate that!
🅿🆁🅾🅼🅾🆂🅼 🤣
Bring her home, boss! Bring her home and we'll get her put back together and she'll be right as rain on a spring day. Your daughter debo'd my key for herself and said she'll fix her if you don't, lol.
That is the plan, bring her back home, start sourcing parts, and then bring her back to life. By the way her key won't work because it will need a new ignition switch. That means new key.
