What hydraulic fluid are you using?

What hydraulic fluid are you using?

I had a couple of wheelbarrows. They are made to fall apart quickly. The handles are not pressure treated. They are made to rot out quickly. The slat that fills the gap on the bottom that rests on the handle rots away quickly. The tires never air up again. I raised hell at Lowe's and eventually they gave me a new tire. I finally bought a thick metal wheelbarrow with metal handles. It has a solid rubber wheel. This is the ONLY kind of wheelbarrow to buy. I leave mine outside since my garage is full. The only issue with the wheelbarrow is I backed into it and bent the right side handle. I almost destroyed the damned thing. The metal hand, which is square and thick, has a ripple. Maybe I could heat it up with a heat gun that I have and pound out the ripple. Anyway, the handle is bent down but it still works. I've been afraid to do anything to the handle. I don't want to crack the steel. I almost ruined a $85 wheelbarrow.

Thank you!!

My 270 has been leaking since I bought it a year ago. Pretty sure Ive replaced nearly every hose in it and also rebuilt the entire hydraulic pump. They're a real b*tch to work on. Finally found a small split in the large hose from hyd reservoir to pump. Had to make my own 1 7/8" crowfoot wrench and reach it through the bottom. Real bast*rd. All these hoses have o-ring fittings and you dont have to get them super tight. I had to use a pair of 4 foot cheaters on a 3/4" drive to break it lose. Insane. Just pray you never have to replace one.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn’t by chance remember what size hose it was?

Great video. Where can I find part 1. Have a JD250 that needs a bucket cylinder seal replaced. Thanks!

I have a similar machine. I'm just curious how you got the fitting off the bottom of the cooler with that rear bumper in the way? I'm new to have you machinery but it seems like everything is always in the way . I don't understand how you guys get wrenches into these places even up by the filter. I'm struggling. If you could reply with some tips that would be amazing.

you can buy the gland removal tool from other places seperate you just have to do a search on the internet for hydraulic cylinder tools.. just get the right diameter . I know this is an older video.

Buying a barrow with a plastic tray certainly means you can't throw haeavy rocks and such into the tray. Do that and you have a high risk of cracking it. However, plastic barrows have the virtue of being quite a lot lighter than steel. Buy a barrow with a steel tray, and you may well need to take it apart an refinish the tray when it starts to get rusty. Yes, that's additional work, but a steel tray will take a LOT more abuse than a barrow with a plastic tray. But they will rust out if you neglect them. Take your pick.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My JD 250 blew a hose yesterday, and I couldn't find it. Your video just saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you, thank you

Very useful as I have just purchased one with a mystery leak. I fear I must comment however on your comments over the JD techs responses to you. It sounds like they were trying to be helpful to you despite them trying to figure out the picture without the benefit of actually seeing your equipment. People are not all seeing and there is no magic answers to any problems with leaks. Most shops would not advise you to do anything but bring it in for them to fix it. You must have a great dealer in your area to take the time to try to navigate your problem on an old model with no monetary gain for them. I would give them a shout out for trying to help. Just my 2 cents Canadian.

Thank you very much for advertising this because I’m looking for a good wheel barrel and I most certainly won’t buy this one but what I’d like to know is what is a goodwill barrel Thank you very much for advertising this because I’m looking for a good wheel barrel and I most certainly won’t buy this one but what I’d like to know is what is a good wheel barrel because I want to find a good one what’s a good brand?

And they say the Chinese don’t know quality hahah! If you make crap you also know what quality is, now Chinese quality is undercutting what was domestic price point

My! How spoiled! He can see the deterioration taking place but does no maintenance or repair before things fall apart. Wheelbarrows are vehicles, and they need to be inspected, repaired and rebuilt as needed. The manure causes the tray to corrode. Gee whiz! Perhaps you should disassemble, sand off the corrosion and refinish the tray before the holes corrode out. The brace fails? Replace it. The front brace keeps riding up? Tighten it properly, or add another screw in each side to hold it in place. You can easily drive a screw in through the front which will prevent it from moving around. Don't think it's your job to do that inspection, maintenance, repair and rebuilding? Fine ----keep buying wheelbarrows as long as you like. I'm not impressed.

I've suffered the same problems with my true temper. When we bought this property 16 years ago there was an old wheel barrow that was missing some pieces,but very sturdy built here in our garden. I took the best pieces from it to help structurally reinforce the true temper,but now the tray is breaking around the bolts. Luckily my brother in law is giving me a Jackson folded steel construction wheel barrow that's very heavily built,but in need of new handles. I can get new ash handles for less than $50 and probably have a wheel barrow that outlast me. It's a shame what's happened to companies like true temper,smh.

There are some common errors made in this video so make sure you photo your Gland and Piston before you take each seal off on your project. Watch other videos to learn more. You want to be sure seals go back in the right spot and facing the right direction. The end dust seal inside gland is put in backwards at the beginning, at end they briefly mention this when gland will not go onto rod. The piece on the end near the nut is called the piston with the yellow teflon seal above the oring. I have better luck heating this yellow seal so it shrinks back to normal and fits tighter and better after installing. I cover yellow seal with electrical tape and gently use a worm drive clamp to help it compress gently in place as it cools.

You are so true about John Deere

They charge a lot because they can. Especially John Deere $125.00per hour fir labor and all they can get for parts.

Try a TUFX brand wheelbarrow, it will never let you down.

Thanks I have a 2001 260 with lots of issues Right now I'm trying to adjust the steering joy sticks after replacing some brass bearings it has been a job Very uncomfortable very little space to work which I had made a video

What year is this, also what's the VIN number aswell if you have that information?

I have 3 wheelbarrows. 1-Craftsman (two wheel type). 20 years old and still works great & no issues. 2-Handy Andy. Also, 20 years old and still works great and no issues. 3-True Temper. 10 years old & the plastic bed is cracked, a wheel hub failed & one side of the support brace in the rear broke off (it had to be welded back on).

I can’t find part one to this video?

Just wondering why you just didn’t get the keypad remote MMK200 from mighty mule? About $40-$50. Also that gate is not very heavy, you only needed a light duty operator, which operates faster, such as the MM271. I guess it would also depend how many extra remotes you own. - John

Where did you get your weights and brackets? Can't find any for my machine.

Price $99

Thank you for the information. I have the same machine and could not find the leak. Until i saw this.

My wife found this video after I dumped the oil as well. Everything is so packed in these machines that I could not tell where the oil leaked from. Amazingly enough, the same hose had failed on our machine. On a whim, we went ahead and pulled the same hose. Ours had failed as well. I don't think I would have found it without this video. Eat your Wheaties before you try to loosen these fittings.

Thinking about ordering a gate from them but a few others have also had bad experiences.

Yes, The hydraulic cylinders for both the tractor and the skid steer by John Deere are constructed the same inside.

So it’s the same procedure for both machines?

I like the Chinese made Wheelbarrow looks well made compared to the others where did you purchase it? thx

Glad the video helped someone else.

Zip tie trick saved my ass! Thanks for video

That's look awesome! I need to make a trip for sure soon!
