Your skills and matching confidence are rare and becoming more rare. As a 60 yr old industrial arts teacher---I know our young people's aptitudes. You are unique. I hope you can find a deserving apprentice and pass your ability on. You are "the man", Andrew! Thanks for sharing. Ignore the haters---haters gonna hate----huggers gotta hug!
when i was in school, industrial arts wing was where you were sent if they could do noting else with you. we called it the "prison wing". no respect for that area of life at all, sorry.
Hey Les, i'm in my 50's and industrial arts was a part of my schooling, as was a stint in home economics, General math which was considered lesser than algebra actually taught us useful stuff like doing your taxes amongst other things, we had welding, autobody, woodworking... etc...etc... Real skills that build the world and infrastructure all around us, Just wanted to post a positive reply, the youth now a days don't have any values or skills that are useful, they all think they are special and hard labour is distasteful, teachers have really failed our youth, thinking the world revolves around those that push pencils has lead to the general state of our societies in the west. every civilization collapses i suppose, when no one builds these things and instead we have mobs of spoiled brats burning the streets down, one can see the end is near. Andrew is a breath of fresh air, someone that works hard, he doesn't fit in now though, a lot of us don't.
Love my EX 150 , been a great machine, it's a 1998 and never leaked a drop of Hyd oil anywhere till last year, one seal on one lift cylinder leaking a touch, and had the travel valve body under the main body, rebuilt. But mufflers need to be covered so rain doesn't collect in them when not used for a bit. Great job on finding the muffler, price was so much better that from a dealer, Thanks so much. Great video,👍👍👍👍
Efthimios Chaskaris keeping low and saving your money is the right way. Having a ton of overhead and employees will destroy all profit and send you to bankruptcy.
Andrew, I have a 97 KW T-600 w/ 525hp Cummins. In 2000 I bought a new muffler that was guaranteed to last for life, it’s still on the truck like new. That muffler has 2million miles on it. You video just reminded me of it. ChiefD
I have a JCB JZ 70 that I use around the farm. While I was taking some willow trees for a neighbor it started loosing power on the last tree. By the time I got it to the trailer it would just barely climb the ramps. It turned out that the muffler had come apart inside blocking the exhaust. It took over three weeks to get a muffler from England. I’m glad that I wasn’t depending on to put food on the table. Great videos, keep up the good work!
I've watched this guy half a dozen times or so and if everyone had his work ethic we could eliminate almost all the problems within this country! Notice he doesn't have an $80k pickup and a million dollars worth of equipment. One of my friends has a business installing septic systems. He has about a 20 year old Ford backhoe that he took all the glass out of since it didn't have a/c or heat and leases a 1845 Case front loader. Never buys a new truck and said he has run over a million dollars through the hoe minus the lease but it still makes him money.
For some reason I've found when I'm not out running my dozer I'm kicking back drinking a cold one watching your videos. It's relaxing. Keep up the great work.
It's May 3, 2020 and I am in the middle of my "Coronacation" stuck inside. Watching old AC videos I missed and re-watching others. Thanks for the content, Andrew! Stay Safe.
He bit the bullet, maybe $350 in parts, oil, grease. No different than me spending maybe $400 this year to keep my excavator going. Paid for equipment can sit until you need it and it doesn't cost you $ every month.
@PS 400 -- People who buy the new expensive stuff have to work hard to pay for them, and the repairs on them when they break down, and they probably charge a lot more for a job than Andrew does because they have to in order to pay for their expensive equipment, and so their customers are the ones actually paying for that new equipment. My hat goes off to Andrew and his way of doing things. It doesn't matter what industry you look at, when a man is first starting out they almost always starts with used equipment, whether it be contractors, farmers, truckers, etc. Then, when they get established and have the business built up and enough in the bank they can think about buying a new piece of equipment, but the smart thing is to not go head over heels in debt before then. Andrew is the smart one here, and he is not afraid of hard work either.
@PS 400 In the years I've watched Andrew I've seen him go from Crappy stuff to looking comfortable with a growing fleet. Can you say the same or having trouble paying your expensive, getting old, crap?
Great repair video. These are always fun to watch. I'm glad Hitachi got the last word in on the old muffler! Looks like a pretty easy machine to work on for the most part. I couldn't even imagine having to work on a newer machine with all the Tier 4 Final emissions junk and all that...
Just a tip when changing oil filters, and you dont want to get oil all over the place. Punch hole with screwdriver in bottom of filter, and do a more controlled oil spill :)
Works great! I do it on my truck too, I use a scratch awl. One *thunk* with your palm, and give it about fifteen minutes if you're not in a hurry. TONS less mess.
or just use a plastic bag? knocking holes in filters take to long to drain. No one knocks holes in filters anymore but people who get salary .... Plastic bag from the store for free ... 15 seconds off oils in the bag with the filter boom done.
you have your hands full with life work and the upkeep on all that equipment. never enough time. that hitachi is strong. she must have a ton of hours on it. getting on in age, id be leery of asking her to do so much digging like that quarry job. must have been hours and hours of hard core work. i gather this was before you bought the hot pressure washer. you could almost hire a young helper to keep equipment cleaned and maintained with the basics. nice to see you have all of this work.
Wow you are so lucky, my brother was operating our 16000 pound excavator and the elbow of the muffler burnt out and started the sound barrier on fire, it's a good thing we routinely pressure wash our equipment.
I have to slow down on my binge watching here. I dont want to run out of entertainment :) I love watching this channel Andrew...you are a very bright young man. Greetings from Niagara Falls Canada...🇨🇦
A tip from my old man. He used to wash down dirty engines with kerosene and a paint brush then hose off. Also, your editing is exceptional and makes watching your videos very entertaining.
I predict sometime in 5 years you will buy a hot water pressure washer. When you first start it you will have major trouble but with your cool head and intelligence you will fix it. I like the old and new videos. Stay safe Andrew we enjoy your videos
Just when I think you're going home you change the oil and fuel it up... Your work ethic is what brings people back, your work ethic is what makes you so much money.
i enjoy your accomplishments. thought i'd give you a suggestion, for when you change oil/fuel filters. removing the filter, after breaking the seal. put a plastic bag over the filter to catch the oil that comes out of the filter housing... i use a plastic bag from a loaf of bread... pour the extra oil into your catch can. then just put a loop on the open end, making a half knot. sealing the oil from making a mess. put the bag and filter in a bucket for disposal. i use a sharpie, putting the date and engine hours on the filter. smear fresh oil on the new filters gasket, then add some fuel/oil in the filter before installing. only if it can be installed without tipping it sideways.
Great video. Glad to see I'm not the only one who trusts NAPA to keep their equipment and vehicles running. Been using NAPA replacement parts to keep my 1978 F-100 2wd pickup and 1979 F-350 4x4 project truck running. Both have been seriously neglected by previous owners and I'm the only one taking the time to keep them running properly. Gotta love the old stuff compared to most of this technology smothered crap.
I use 409 and dawn dishwasher detergent mixed. Spray liberally on motor and all parts. Rinse will garden hose or pressure washer. Cuts grease and oil like butter. Leaves everything shiny and new.
Andrew. Be carful. The machine I have is pretty close the that. It’s a John Deere 70d. The exhaust did the same thing as yours except it melted a hydro hose instead of the throttle cable and when the hose blew it burnt the entire machine down to the ground!!
Those hitachi machines are pretty nice Are used to have a 44,000 pound one it was a older model I think it was like 200 or 220 I can’t remember it was a long time ago but they were really good and they dig really good
Well, on the bright side, the exhaust leak did not caused a fire. Nice job! The crushing of the the old can gave me a movie flashback to Terminator. Early scene where a large tracked machine crushes human skulls dried and decaying in the dirt.
Hey Andrew. Next time you pressure wash an engine like that spray it down with a 30/70 mix of Greased Lightning. The soot and grease will melt even before you pressure wash it. Resturants use it to clean caked up fryer grease.
Great video! I just learned how to change the oil on a Hitachi! You never know, I made even get to do it some day. Either way, I'm learning tons....thanks Andrew!
Andrew DOn't know if you know this but a lot of times you can get a computer chip for those on demand hot water heaters which will allow you to up the temperature much higher than factory settings. I have a Rheem and I bought the chip for mine. The higher the temp tho, the slower the water is because it takes a little longer to heat. It depends on what you want to use the water for. They come with residential chip. The other is called a commercial chip.
You amazing to watch and I wish I could meet you I love watching your videos there interesting and this is what I want to do when I grow up and by the way if your wondering I’m only 12
That's really clever hooking the pressure washer up to a tankless water heater. Have you ever had a problem feeding hot water into a cold water pump like that? I wonder if one could mount a tankless heater, propane tank, and washer all onto the same cart to make it more portable.
Jacobd123456 I initially worried about it, but I've done it a lot now with no issues. Make sure you get a pressure washer with a good pump, the good ones have big cooling fins and are usually made in Italy.
Before greasy work ----- Wipe hands / arms with a wet (not to wet) bar of soap. Scratch palm of hands with fingernails. Work soap residue into all parts of nails. If you can avoid washing hands before work complete you will be surprised how much cleaner your nails will be. Of course you can still also final clean up with the commercial hand cleaners etc.
You might want to fill the oil filter up with oil first, it gets the oil to the engine bearing quicker, instead of it having to push the air in the filter thru the bearings first.
Yeah that makes sense. All that weight and torque. Hey do you know anywhere I can get a cheap but reliable skid loader? My son been doing landscaping for several years now and really could use one? Ive been looking around on ebay and truck pages. Just dont really know what to look out for. Any suggestions?
You take good care of you equipment. I bet you save a boatload of cash doing all that work yourself. Companies that service commercial customers are usually pretty spendy.
How's the pressure washer holding up with hot water? I think most little ones like that say not to use hot water with them but I have considered doing the same as you. Just wondering if you noticed it hurt anything.
I’m a retired mechanic for fun I used to buy old machines refurb them like rip out the shitty old engine and replace it with a brand new one not even the same model what ever I could find at the best price and horsepower. Match it up to the pump and engine mounts sometime a little custom fab a rebuilt hydraulic pump so the new owner wasn’t dancing disco with his arms in the cab and resell them for a small but good profit..it was fun why I stopped who knows maybe it wasn’t a challenge anymore
Andrew you are a really nice guy. You worry when the trolls bad mouth welding or concrete. Don’t worry brother! They sit at home watching You Tube and have never turned a wrench, held a welding rod, or poured a yard of concrete. You are fine!! They are jealous of your all around skills!!
Do the larger excavators like this not have a front grading blade? Just noticed this one didn’t, just curious. Thanks for all the work that goes into making these videos, appreciate ya
so literally did most of the same work on mine last week... hoses and muffler... anyway, I have a ex120-2 which is largely the same except hp and weight... however it does seem to be running the same controls, and there is a row of buttons on the bottom that have some sort of hieroglyphs, was curious if you had any idea what any of them mean? I kinda figured it has something to do with power control but? I is dumb and not a great operator so I just sort of guess.
At five 5:57 seconds it look like right after you installed the throttle cable there was a loose jam nut next to that elbow connection. I can only assume you left it loose to adjust the linkage.
Hey I'm not too knowledgeable about excavators but I would check those bottoms rollers on the track soon I has the same situation where they seize up a little bit and then 3 roller bearings broke....500$ down the drain and I had to install new ones
Hi Andrew have the same problem.once i screwed the trottle up full i loose all power when trying to move digger.was going perfect until the trottle cable melted

I'm from you further future....don't try and start it.....it's hydro locked.

Great editing, nice background music, not loud. Good instructions. All in all great. Great work also at the quarry. Very pro work.
Thanks
Hi Andrew, It looks like water got into your muffler. You might build a flap valve over exhaust port of Muffler.
Andrew, I wish I could see you in 10 years.....you're going to have some nice excavation company!!! Good luck, son.

You can always pull the pieces out of the muffler or just straight pipe it until you get the muffler. There's always temp solutions out there.

Running a million through one hoe is a pretty good hoe.
Power washed it and still got grub dirty from all that soot .... great video Andrew
Watching you work inspired me to get off my duff and get done a bunch of projects this weekend I've been putting off for a few months. Feels great!
Good to hear.
Even though this is four years old, Good to see Levi and you Andrew keep up the great videos.

Good job Andrew! Keep that stuff running. Good maint. is a lot less expensive than new equip.
Your Videos are as always extremely informative and entertaining. Another Great Video Andrew!
Thanks
Definitely love watching all of your kool video, I started will watching Andrew install culvert pipes and I was hooked!

Had the same trouble with my JD 490,,,glad you got it fixed
8.1👍's up Andrew thanks again for taking your time for us all to be with you
Hey Andrew.
Next time you pressure wash an engine like that spray it down with a 30/70 mix of Greased Lightning. The soot and grease will melt even before you pressure wash it.
Resturants use it to clean caked up fryer grease.
I think I heard the excavator go "Ahhhh.." when you poured in the new oil.
the best garage on youtube..castle makes it the coolest too..

Bloody hell, good ole muffler put up a fight with the mighty dozer.
Andrew DOn't know if you know this but a lot of times you can get a computer chip for those on demand hot water heaters which will allow you to up the temperature much higher than factory settings.

Opening with Levi was great.
should do a full restoration and repainting of that excavator
It might have been a coincidence, but a headache I had all afternoon went away while watching this video. Thanks Andrew great vid

You might want to fill the oil filter up with oil first, it gets the oil to the engine bearing quicker, instead of it having to push the air in the filter thru the bearings first.
Good thing the muffler did mot gave a core credit, crushed like a grape!
Do u typically charge ur buddies to help fix their equipment?
This was my machine. Last time we put tracks and teeth on my friends Komatsu, him and another guy helped so I didn't charge.
Your a good guy to have as a Mate Andrew!
Awesome video! I love the crushing of the exhaust at the end. Hey I noticed the track rollers guides where sticking.....
Thanks. They roll when the track is against them.
oh ok. Didn't know if that was a problem or not. Well thats good.
Usually they don't lock up, usually the bearings blow out of them, and they have like inches of slop.
Yeah that makes sense. All that weight and torque. Hey do you know anywhere I can get a cheap but reliable skid loader? My son been doing landscaping for several years now and really could use one? Ive been looking around on ebay and truck pages. Just dont really know what to look out for. Any suggestions?

Intressant att kolla på en person som är en tusenkonstnär. Verkar kunna allt.
I'm jealous, you know so damn much! Its inspirational and I regret not doing my "dream"....
Hey Andrew. Why are there no lights on the hitachi excavator don't they have them on the top of the cab roof
I have No throttle control. But at least it shuts of.
I love this man 😀😂
Awesome, hope someday a video will come up about that dirt bike in the back :)
looking good , next time slide a plastic freezer bag over the oil filter while removing it , prevents oily armpits !
Yeah, one guy suggested poking a hole in it first to drain it, I like that idea.
Actually that's a really good idea too. That's easier.
The tapered end on the Tractor Supply multi tool is helpful in aligning bolts and bolt holes.

so literally did most of the same work on mine last week... hoses and muffler... anyway, I have a ex120-2 which is largely the same except hp and weight... however it does seem to be running the same controls, and there is a row of buttons on the bottom that have some sort of hieroglyphs, was curious if you had any idea what any of them mean? I kinda figured it has something to do with power control but? I is dumb and not a great operator so I just sort of guess.
also I love the on demand hot water cheat.
northman logging that's funny, my friend also just did that repair on his 120 too. I don't know what those buttons do either.
Hola te saludo desde 🇦🇷 argentina 👏 niro todos tus videos
Waaaay better videos than LetsDig18. I used to watch his videos until I discovered yours. No more.
Oby-1 he’s been publishing a ton of videos lately though.
@@AndrewCamarata Ok, but I'm still watching your videos first.
After watching andrews videos (lots) Levi seens to not like and barks only at the hitachi.
You should have more subscribers. Your channel is really good.
MR Delete yeah right? Thanks.
He has now lol.
sound track on this is banging
At five 5:57 seconds it look like right after you installed the throttle cable there was a loose jam nut next to that elbow connection. I can only assume you left it loose to adjust the linkage.
Hey I'm not too knowledgeable about excavators but I would check those bottoms rollers on the track soon I has the same situation where they seize up a little bit and then 3 roller bearings broke....500$ down the drain and I had to install new ones
Usually the bearings blow out of them before they seize up.
Hi Andrew have the same problem.once i screwed the trottle up full i loose all power when trying to move digger.was going perfect until the trottle cable melted
That same music with the same beat in a loop! It was torture and applying. But like video
