do not envy you doing the work and the cost! however it is entertainment at its best. I hope youtube compensates you well. it really looking like you have to split the house and the undercarriage to change that giant seal... >👍👍
That sound of that oil and water running out reminded me of the day after having subway for lunch then Taco Bell for dinner. Charlie is a good girl!! Give her love for me and play lots of ball with her. Can’t wait until the next Charlie and Matt show!!!
The pistons do not have to go in any order. Yes, you would feel the slop. Another good test is to cover the hole in the bottom of the barrel/block with your finger and see if it pushes air and pulls vacuum when you move the piston in the bore. Usually there is a small hole in the middle of the piston slippers that is used for lubrication, blow air into the back of the piston to make sure that there isn't any junk in there. I rebuilt pumps and motors for a few years and work at a shop now where we do mainly cylinder work. Hit me up if you have questions.
Excellent resource is a man who knows the finer points. I hope Matt is keen to touch base on these parts with you? I'm certain if done proper these things will go for an age. Done with oversights you revisit the same thing repeatedly. As I have witnessed. Great offer and the tip on blowing the shit out of the pistons.
Then you know bench testing the motor is step one to determine the condition of the motor. I have 15 years of experience with equipment and the first step is proper diagnostic testing either in or out of the machine. Ripping apart a motor just because is pointless
@@JimsNBHomestead I wouldn't say pointless to not test it beforehand with all the water he found in the system, definitely not ideal though. I will say, the pump is going to be a different beast, that might be a can of worms if he digs into that.
You have my admiration for your willingness to get into the workings and take everything apart to find the root causes of failures. Then to put it all back together! Makes me wish that I was healthy enough to emulate your work, Great Job!... Looking forward to your next post.
I'll bet you were happy when that hole in your shirt turned out to be the perfect spot to mount your mic. 🤣😂 Seriously though, Matt, that Dozer came out mint! I can't wait to go on the adventure of rebuilding this machine. I love dozers but these machines are my favorite! Thanks Matt! And be careful! 🤩😀
There may be a lot of your subs who are not in the business but just love watching old iron being revived. I did actually touch a Kubota mini parked in my backyard when the sewer pipe was being replaced. I probably touched an old road grader in the late 40’s working on our gravel road. Keep wrenching!
I like watching your videos on this equipment because it's unusual. Everyone has videos on getting an engine to run or doing standard automotive work. Very rarely do you find rebuilds on the stuff you get yourself into. And you follow the manuals to do it correctly. Good job.
Hi, you said you didn’t know anything about excavators in your earlier video. Well you sure know your way around the gears and hydraulics and everything else as well. And it’s great to see that you take your safely as your number one. You are one very knowledgeable guy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Much better video editing and commentary. Improvement.... I look forward to seeing most of the mechanical parts on the excavator. Glad you are continuing the videos. Entertaining and Instructional.
You are the best! I'm glad that the dog is there for support. So many parts. It looks like you may have saved it just in time before more damage was done. Once everything is clean and inspected you should be in good shape. May the force be with you!!!!!
Actually looks less complicated than the D4. Most of the wear is just from sitting water stuck inside the housing. Very interested in seeing more of the rebuild in the future.
Looks like a jig saw puzzle Rather straight forward and Happy that you do have a lot of salvageable parts. I am Looking forward to more,, Thanks for the video..
It is possible to repair that part that the seal surface was messed up on, however the cost may be as much as the new part: Flame spraying is ideal for surfaces like that. It is often used to repair galled surfaces on shafts where bearings rode. I look forward to following your adventures with the excavator as I did with the Cat.
You have, I my opinion for what its worth, made some good decisions on what to replace in the swing drive. It is a good idea to mark referencing/ witnessing marks on every thing that comes apart for any reason on everything you can, that practice has saved my bacon numerous times over the years, the other rule in hydraulics is keep it clean on reassembly, if you think you you have clean, clean it again, especially when working on spool valves, the ole boy that trained me in/on hydraulics was a clean freak. You are going to have an awesome machine when you get this up and running again, looking forward to this series, thanks for the update.
Thanks Matt for inviting us into your barn shop. Great videography! Nice project. Always wondered what was inside those excavators . Thank goodness you have video and manuals to refer to to put Humpty back together again.
Super excited for this series. You killed it with the dozer. Can’t wait to watch all these videos and justify making my own questionable excavator purchase.
I bought a 2005 john deere 35c excavator that looked like it exploded, some parts here👈some parts there👉 couldn't pass it up for $500. It's not nearly as crusty as this one and only has 2000hrs so these videos give me hope too. I found another motor for $700 and need maybe $400 in fittings and hoses. If I can get a working machine for only 2k that will be a pretty sweet deal.
Well done with the progress it's good to see Charlie making sure that you are taking regular breaks whilst working so you don't overdo it everyone needs a four legged furry work colleague to help your well-being keep up with the great work looking forward to the next video
I just rebuilt the shuttle shifter on my Case 580SE backhoe. What you're doing makes that look like child's play. Good luck getting it all back together.
Great start - maybe it would be an idea to invest in some tools for making/crimping hydraulic hoses yourself? it seems like this one will need alot of new hoses before it's done
@@nathaniellarson8 it would be where I am at - here you see these tools fairly often come up on auction at a reasonable price - but I have no idea about the pacific northwest. Also I would be surprised if this is the last piece of machinery Matt aquire which needs new hoses.
I have a feeling that this might be the start of another complete rebuild of another piece of equipment.. Looking forward to many videos of this one !!!!!😀😀😀😀😀
Good thing about bearing is that their strength is also their weakness in that if you put a weld over the width of its border, it cracks. Do that on both outer and inner ring and it comes loose. That's when you can clean everything up, cool the axle (dry ice is nice) and warm (there are bearing warmers out there) the new bearing and it should plop right on. Also, 21:18 - cute robot head you found there.
Again, a great video. I really appreciate these, understanding the amount oft filming then editing. All the while keeping up on the farm, honey-dos, being a dad etc...... Thank you greatly as these truly are enjoyable and satisfying!! Although, I'll stick with renovating old wood and old clocks.
Another Great video presentation! Your method of working and, of presentation (finished videos, ready for viewing by the public), is probably the best in TH-cam, in so far as I can recall at the moment. Your voice is very calming and welcoming to the viewer. You make us part of your experience, as you weave through the process of your endeavor. I would never attempt something such as taking an engine apart. I don't have the capacity to tolerate all the multitude of parts one had to put together again. 😁😁😁 Looking forward to your next video. Peace. ✌
You must have big brass ones for jumping right in on the hydraulics! Hydraulics and electrical are my two worst things to tackle, I envy you right now the way you just jumped in head first!
Your videos are some of the best on TH-cam - your knowledge and attention to detail are head and shoulders above 99% of every one else.
*- Agreed. Thank you for saying what is needed to be said for all of us.*
yep!
Oh Ya!
So True 👍🏻😊

Brave man to tackle this project. Great dog!
Yes, it definitely looks like a big giant complicated mess! You have more guts than I do tearing into that thing! Kudos!
I love how you tear into these daunting projects with so much confidence..
I'll bet you were happy when that hole in your shirt turned out to be the perfect spot to mount your mic.
🤣😂 Seriously though, Matt, that Dozer came out mint! I can't wait to go on the adventure of rebuilding this machine. I love dozers but these machines are my favorite! Thanks Matt! And be careful! 🤩😀
Excellent editing , excellent work , love your style , “ just the facts please”
There may be a lot of your subs who are not in the business but just love watching old iron being revived. I did actually touch a Kubota mini parked in my backyard when the sewer pipe was being replaced. I probably touched an old road grader in the late 40’s working on our gravel road. Keep wrenching!
You are going to have a really nice unit when done.
Matt, intrepid is the WORD!!! Holy smokes, even with a manual this gives me the heebie-jeebies!!!
I like your dog. Nothing like a pesky fido when your trying to work.
I still say- your blithe assurance and confident progress belies your naivete etc....your sensible approach and sure luck are a bonus...!
Learning a lot by watching you. Thanks.
I like watching your videos on this equipment because it's unusual. Everyone has videos on getting an engine to run or doing standard automotive work. Very rarely do you find rebuilds on the stuff you get yourself into. And you follow the manuals to do it correctly. Good job.
Took the words right out of my brain. Well said.
I'm living my life vicariously through Matt's rebuilds. This way my HOA won't yell about an excavator
Hi, you said you didn’t know anything about excavators in your earlier video. Well you sure know your way around the gears and hydraulics and everything else as well. And it’s great to see that you take your safely as your number one. You are one very knowledgeable guy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Much better video editing and commentary.
Improvement....
I look forward to seeing most of the mechanical parts on the excavator.
Glad you are continuing the videos.
Entertaining and Instructional.
Out of everything I subscribe to here on TH-cam, these are the videos I look forward to the most.
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure.
I’m here to see Charlie
Matt your research skills are phenomenal.
Keep on truckin.
I see your dog is as helpful as always.😃😃
Your blithe assurance , calm attack plus good ENUFF luck has been your bonus- so far..! Good luck
You are the best! I'm glad that the dog is there for support. So many parts. It looks like you may have saved it just in time before more damage was done. Once everything is clean and inspected you should be in good shape. May the force be with you!!!!!
Matt would be well served with someone sending him a good sized box of used tennis balls. Or the dog would,which amounts to the same thing here.
And one of those machines used for tennis practice that keeps throwing the balls out automatically 😂😂
I ❤ Hitachi! (I have a Hitachi drill press. 🤣I LOVE it! Hitachi makes machines bigger than Matt's! I am surprised they don't make motorcycles.)
Cutting disc falls off angle grinder, says nothing. 😂😊
On our way, fantastic! God bless the project Matt! We luv being a long for the ride.
Hope you get some compensation from YT.
You are brave for taking on rebuilding this unit, but you will save thousands from sending it out. love your thouroghness
Actually looks less complicated than the D4. Most of the wear is just from sitting water stuck inside the housing. Very interested in seeing more of the rebuild in the future.
Here we go. Let's dig in brother
Looks like a jig saw puzzle Rather straight forward and Happy that you do have a lot of salvageable parts. I am Looking forward to more,, Thanks for the video..
Love your pup, mine is the same way w his ball
Excellent video quality. 👍 Your dog reminds me of when I had a black lab. I simply existed to throw the ball. 😃
It is possible to repair that part that the seal surface was messed up on, however the cost may be as much as the new part: Flame spraying is ideal for surfaces like that. It is often used to repair galled surfaces on shafts where bearings rode.

Always good to see you Matt!

Off brand oven cleaner is an inexpensive degreaser. As usual I’m amazed at how much you are able to take on and finish.
Matt, I want to see the full restore of the excavator. It will be great.
Super excited for this series. You killed it with the dozer.
Can’t wait to watch all these videos and justify making my own questionable excavator purchase.

@@gregthomson7516 right?! that’s too cheap not to buy lol 😂
I think the dog thinks you're all work and no play.thanks for the video
I’m enjoying this a lot thanks for posting
Hey Man, enjoying your rebuild of that beast! Looking forward to more videos.
Matt, you are so brave. I pictured the springs flying everywhere! Lol
Take care
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch your videos
a lot of work, well done.
I am in awe of your technical skills Matt 👍
Very Good Job My Friend ❤❤❤❤❤
This is going to be a brilliant series
Well done with the progress it's good to see Charlie making sure that you are taking regular breaks whilst working so you don't overdo it everyone needs a four legged furry work colleague to help your well-being keep up with the great work looking forward to the next video
great Video Matt.
Oven cleaner works damn good too for decreasing stuff.
It is a pleasure watching you work with such precision and detail!! Thanks for sharing

Great start - maybe it would be an idea to invest in some tools for making/crimping hydraulic hoses yourself? it seems like this one will need alot of new hoses before it's done
Not enough hoses there to invest in that, just wouldn't make sense. Colored wire, paint pens, and Parker stores are your friend.
There are assemble yourself reusable hydraulic fittings. Not sure if worthwhile here.
@@nathaniellarson8 it would be where I am at - here you see these tools fairly often come up on auction at a reasonable price - but I have no idea about the pacific northwest. Also I would be surprised if this is the last piece of machinery Matt aquire which needs new hoses.
I am looking into my options for that right now
Whoa ho, here we go again, anticipating lots more.
Great job Matt keep going
YEY! Excavator neglect 101 explanation in detail 😢. But willingness to get dirty to save thousands 😂. Great stuff,😊
Good video. I new that was going to run in your arm pit I’ve had it happen so many times but you remained calm
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
In the power transmission industry, this is described as a slewing drive. Just saying....Like the channel. Cheers...😀😀
Good job. I am looking forward to seeing the future rebuilding videos.
Looks like Charlie the Dog needs his own channel...the like I gave is half his!
Met a suggestion for you , get a three ring binder with plastic sleeves to put your repair manual in it to keep clean and in order.
Great video Matt! Always interesting! 🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This update just made my day!
I am sure this excavator will get you to 100k subs in no time. Good content.
I have a feeling that this might be the start of another complete rebuild of another piece of equipment.. Looking forward to many videos of this one !!!!!😀😀😀😀😀
Хорошая работа 👍
Nice to see the canine help early.
Great Job! You give confidence - early on - that this "task" will reach completion, successfully!!!
Good thing about bearing is that their strength is also their weakness in that if you put a weld over the width of its border, it cracks. Do that on both outer and inner ring and it comes loose. That's when you can clean everything up, cool the axle (dry ice is nice) and warm (there are bearing warmers out there) the new bearing and it should plop right on.
Also, 21:18 - cute robot head you found there.
Great work Matt always very interesting 🦘

Really interesting video Matt, sure with your approach, everything will be fine!
quality content Matt , big love from the UK dude
Another Great video presentation!
Your method of working and, of presentation (finished videos, ready for viewing by the public), is probably the best in TH-cam, in so far as I can recall at the moment.
Your voice is very calming and welcoming to the viewer. You make us part of your experience, as you weave through the process of your endeavor.
I would never attempt something such as taking an engine apart. I don't have the capacity to tolerate all the multitude of parts one had to put together again. 😁😁😁
Looking forward to your next video.
Peace. ✌
I took it upon myself, to help you of course, to post a poll. 100% of the people demand that you paint it purple. Please don't let us down!
parade was last month, let it be
Ants Pants is watching…and learning…🤣🙌👍
You Lost your ballpen hammer! Omg the most important tool in your box.
great video, matt. i look forward to following you along on this rebuild
Oven cleaner is the cheapest way to degrease stuff and it works great 👍🏼
Very interesting and and impressive work you do - thanks for charing!
Looks like fun...
The whole thing Looks pretty complicated for just a swing motor.
New Project! Yes!!
Top work, good luck with getting all the parts in and back together mate
Very good Matt. It could have been a lot worse.
Looking forward to the next vid.
I love every video you put out. Always Interesting and informative I dont own Heavy Equipment but I am an operator and mechanic. So thank you
This chaps remorseless, wouldn't want to upset him....
You must have big brass ones for jumping right in on the hydraulics! Hydraulics and electrical are my two worst things to tackle, I envy you right now the way you just jumped in head first!
I'm sure glad that ain't my job. I am too old and tired for that anymore. But I do enjoy watching you do it. lol.
I'm pretty good but that's way above my pay grade, best of luck and keep em coming,love watching, Thanks
darn good job, great to see your new one pop up, excellent to follow along and the enjoyment of sharing with us.
My Shepard is just like yours! She just wants to play all the time dropping her toys into whatever I am working on.
The worst is when you are digging a hole
Oven cleaner is the best degreaser. Plus it helps with rust
A fellow La Croix enjoyer, nice.
