not to smart to have an open station... 1 piece of debris could truly be harmful
Is that grinding sound in the gearbox normal? I hooked my VMC EC48HD to my kx080 and when I run it off the left stick it makes that noise, when I run it on the right stick it sounds smooth.
My pool's vinyl has dozens of wrinkles (ph/alkalinity imbalance?). Are the wrinkles possible leaks, or would they stretch the vinyl thinner at the unsupported bottom edge? Compounding this is tree roots beginning to bulge upward from the floor (I chopped them away beyond the pool). I don't want to waste much dye but will probably have to ...
@@mitchg.5125 it depends. It's really best to get some good snorkel goggles or mask. Get really close and look for holes. Then test them with the syringe and dye
Share a tip with you on wet day add 2 links and lift slower and you may have to drive 3 mph faster.
Great video, too the point. I'm in the process of doing the same thing and used some of your ideas. Thank You!
I am Senior PVdesigner and can provide this type if plans set , in which i will follow all nec , ifc , irc codes and set backs , and will provide designs only in 70$
I like the kubota's with angle blade. Very nice. I have run a few. U35 & couple U55s. Kubota is very smooth machine. I have run them all. Kubota is one of my top picks.I just purchased a kx41-3v. Bit small. But cheep operation. Looking to work up to something bigger.
Thank you for this video! I think you just saved me hundreds of dollars. I was originally going around just squirting dye. I started actually searching for it with my hand first and I just discovered 2 leaks.
@@bnmartin81 awesome nice job! Thanks for the comment!
can you tap a new bathroom addition septic line to the riser instead of digging another 8 feet down to connect to original line that taps directly into the septic rank?
Could you get a bucket or attachments that pitch the level when your scraping
They paid for all that beautiful work and didn’t install a sprinkler system…😒
Try the minimum of 27 inches an maximum of 22 feet
@@cammatney6388 wow is that the vertical travel of that cutter head? I never would have imagined 22' tall!
I am in process of ordering the ripper and tooth to make a ripper like you’re for my Takeuchi tb250. I see your video was 2 years ago has your ripper held up well?
@@tonymartin3327 oh yea it's been great! Only problem is the spikes on the back are all bent up. The spikes are great and help push trees and give leverage when prying. But my 3/8" plate teeth bent back when prying roots. Just make the main thick plate extend out more out the back instead.
@@NealORussa Thanks so much
Glad to see you back. Hadn’t seen a video in a while like to watch a fellow ASV guy doing work.
Great video, Neal. Would you mind sharing how long this took and what you charged for this job?
@@sisco_rl7160 hey there! This part of the job took a little less than a day. The full job took a little less than 2 days. I think 18-19 hours total or so including loading and unloading etc.
Thinks for sharing
@@rngn2010 appreciate you watching and the comment!
Way more useful than most vids or pics and/or explanations. Thanks.
I am rebuilding one myself. What diameter is the center bushing? Also do you have specs on the rings you bought?
@@Matt-oh9nz hey I don't have all the measurements and details of those parts. But I bought them all from here store.germanbliss.com/GetModelList?brand=2&priorcategory=&category=Harley%20Skid%20Steer%20Power%20Box%20Rake&sub=1
Great video and very informative! Do you find it is easier cleaning the bottom with the added bottom suction pipe or the good ole fashioned manual suction brush method which most people do? Have a good one!
@@HemiMedic thanks for the comment! I use a vacuum robot. It's just the cheap Hayward bug. But I only have to do it every three weeks or so now cause the bottom drain does such a good job! It's also really easy to hook up the vacuum now. 1. I turn the valve so it draws from bottom drain only. 2. Remove skimmer box bowl/grate. 3. Hold vacuum hose against jet to purge air out of hose and vacuum. 4. Cap end of vacuum hose with hand. Lift over pool wall and hook into fitting in skimmer box. 5. Slowly turn valve to shift pump flow from bottom drain to skimmer box/vacuum hose. You never have to turn off the pump.
What a beautiful dog.
Super! Much easier than reading the instructions.
@@astrotimber8925 glad it helps!
I just throw my hose with vacuum thing on
@@yesidrive yes that works, but I'm tired of messing with the pump and getting the hose out and purging the air and doing everything to get that going. This is always running and easy to turn a valve to go all bottom or half bottom half skimmer. Has been working great!

where did you get the bottom drain?
@@IamScottyT hey thanks for the question! All the parts are listed in the description of this video, but here is the intake screen. It is 2" so you need a bushing to take it down to 1.5" piping. amzn.to/3AILlka
Eyo, I see that Jet Mate in the shop 👀
Straight up the only accurate way to find the pool leak
What is on the inside of the building that you are screwing the header too? The gutter comes down below the top board on the inside of mine.
@@TJMcClure-hs8cs this building had two 2x8 ledger boards nailed to the posts that the roof trusses sat on. Our header board outside screwed into that outside 2x8.
I can't find the link, to the other video you mentioned? Thanks
@@dennisloiselle5615 hey I have a pool playlist with a few different videos. You're probably asking about the bottom drain video. It is in this playlist as well, check it out! th-cam.com/play/PLh0Pr5wMGTmgd29Uu1RY7N6OryK12UUur.html&si=MxRz7c4X3hJFW1Cz
A friend of mine made up a solar trailer on his back yard. A large tandem wheel unit that has an inverter and a switchboard and battery pack, plus fold out arms for the solar array and it sits in his yard facing the sun. The local city had a fit when they saw it and asked him to remove it --he counted the argument by saying what about the person next door with his big motor home. Then they countered and said the trailer had no road permits. They lost the case as the city would have had every truck and car and trailer off the road removed from everyone's home in that city. He is considering making hot houses made aluminum frame with solar panels batteries and inverter for the home gardener-- Ha Ha Ha. Tied into the home via a light activated change over relay switch in the fuse box in the home for nighttime use. A brilliant system to bypass the bullshit.
I also used a regulator with an oil-free compressor so I could stay underwater with the weighted vest. Sometimes I just stay under there for an hour cleaning the pool by hand it's so relaxing under there.
What does the header board secure to on the building? Just the metal sheeting?
@@JONNYROCKIT99 hey Jonny! The boards against the barn are screwed through the metal and into the large 2x10 header boards the barn rafters sit on. Basically just sandwiching the sheet metal between the two header boards.
Please tell us the measurements: how far apart are your post: how far apart are your 2x,s
Rewatched again! Love it!
How many miles on were on the car when you replaced this bearing?
I don't recall exactly, maybe 80k? It was less than 100.
Nice job
Thanks! Check out my channel or subscribe for other pool tips!
Only thing I am confused about is you said you are doing this with 1 1/2” pipe, but two of the three links you gave us are for 2 inch pipes.
@@matthewvanacore4452 the 3 way valve is 1.5". The intake screen is 2" because I couldn't find any other nice looking screen at 1.5". The check valve is 2" because I wanted the larger flapper to have the least amount of flow restriction through the check valve. I used 3, reducer bushings (one at screen and one at each end of check valve) to go from 2" to 1.5" pipe. Hope that helps clarify!
Litten…
Great video.. I use a tooth pick to probe for holes, if their is a hole the point will go in. Then when I find them I will place a penny by it so I know where it is at if you have several.
Great tip with the penny! I used a weight to hold myself down underwater and I could leave it fairly close to the pinhole for reference.
The only problem i see with this is that above ground pool pumps aren't meant to produce suction. The water is gravity fed into the pump. By doing this you are putting unnecessary stress on the pump as its not meant to create suction. And secondary is that all manufacturers do not recommend that you walk, stand on the top rails of a above ground pool 🙄. I know that this video is what you did for yourself but it clearly shows what not to do with a above ground pool.
well now your comment is the only thing i see wrong with the thought process. one yes the sand filters don’t suck as hard as a in-ground system. but that’s apple and oranges. because at the end of the day inground pools have more water to move and suck aka bigger pumps. with the above ground system they have gph rating for a reason. you get a above ground you match it to the correct pump rating. so with that said how’s removing friction and travel length gonna hurt the pump more?. the pumps only gonna pull so much no matter what. now had he went with bigger pipe then yes he would have lost suction power. but seeing as how he used the same diameter pipes as the issued pipes there shouldn’t be on issues on stress relief.
Been running fine for a few years now.I could argue is actually no suction on the pump because the pump is still located below the pool water level so theres still 3-4' of head pressure of water above the pump. If the pump was located higher than the water level such as up on top of my deck, then yes I agree there would be suction and maybe hard on the pump.
As far as walking around the edge of the pool, hope I don't fall in!
It creates a siphon. The pump isn’t sucking.
Just got a replacement intex liner.... it has a small hole in the seam. Any tricks for fixing that sort of thing?
Send it back for new one.
Find the leak and patch it is all you can do. Unless you can return and replace it.
Bingo! I used the dye to easily find the pinhole and threw some clear gorilla tape, meant for this sort of thing on there, and no worries! Yet... lol... A pool is like a monster you build for yourself to fight all summer
@@upgrader99 glad you got it sealed up! I agree pools are such a maintenance pain. I want to get rid of ours so bad but our 4 year old loves swimming. So it stays.
Very nice. Makes a huge difference with good help. Getting up and down sux. Nice job
Thanks for the comment! Yes always good to have some experienced help!
Has anyone had experience trying to “patch” a track that’s torn to the center of the track but not thru the other side? I am just trying to limp thru my homesite and need another 100 hours out of it to be finally done. My other track is in decent condition and replacing one track seems kinda ….eh?
I maybe with steel straps and bolts like a conveyor belt is mended together. But I would just try to find used tracks off another machine. People usually try to get rid of them because they're so expensive to take to the landfill. I sold my old set for $100 or so if I recall
Real
Thank you for the video, looks pretty easy, but I think my hub hasn't been removed in 10 years, so wish me luck, with out brutal Montreal Winters, it's going to be fun!
You can do it! The best penetrating oil out there is kroil. If you can get that and soak that joint down a tad you'll get it out. Worst case rent a slide hammer puller tool from your local parts store.
Gouged the first birdsmouth, IMHO. Weaker?
I suppose it's just a tail.
Hi Neal, again, the check valve I follow the one posted it was 2 inch. I went and other the 2 inch in Amazon. I watch your video again and again and you said the valve ist true 1'1/2. I check Amazon and there is a 1 1/2. Tell me the 2 in is the wrong one right?
I used the 2" check valve for more flow through the check valve mechanism. I used 1.5" to 2" reducer bushings at both the inlet and outlet of the check valve to go from the 1.5" pipe to the 2" check valve. If you want to use the 1.5" check valve that would probably work too.
Hi, thanks for all your information. may i know where did you purchase your panels and the micro inverters. thanks!
How do you know how many tons you need?
Good Job .Thank you.
Thanks for the comment Mike!
