When torquing you need to use a steady pull NOT a jerking action. Also pull ONLY on the knurled handle of the wrench NOT using two hands as you were doing. Torque specifications will be different on lubricated versus non lubricated fasteners.
Awesome Video Devin. Just a thought. I would buy the Milwaukee M18 Impact. They'll take them bolts right out. Then just get them started and bump them in and then torque them.
Don't worry about making a stop or cutting a 4x4 to length. Simply grab one of the pallets that were shown from the beginning of the video. Also, get an impact wrench. Man it's so much quicker when using one. Changing teeth on my Fecon head goes quickly.
Make a big version of a wood doorstop to shove at the top and the drum might not spin on you. Make a wooden tripod was a past hint I think will be useful and cheap to repair. Like your videos a lot.
Have you seen Chris (letsdig18) new Volvo 350 excavator Devon? It’s a monster brother, talk about huge machine that he deserves! He had a smile so big when it arrived at his job! I love it, nice addition to his work force! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was raised in north west and we call that a breaker bar. For breaking loose bolts. I believe the bottom sharpened teeth will dig in better. Top sharpened teeth will deflect and require more pressure to dig in. If you did just brush I'd choose the top sharpened. For trees and stumps I'd choose the bottom sharpened. I believe the bottom sharpened teeth are the over all best designed for all around versitile productivity. I think the top sharpened would work best for brush and for cutting the brush down to the surface of the ground without being so quick to dig into the dirt without meaning to. Talk to any pro wood worker about chisel use and they could explain it better than I can. Some people prefer the ease of sharpening the outside of the teeth over the extra work it takes to sharpen under each tooth. This laziness I call it is even spilled over into the chainsaw chain sharpening. But the consequences from this is slower productivity. When talking about chainsaws the cutting is slower and takes more effort to cut through the wood. I firmly believe this to be true. On a chainsaw chain, I believe the chain will wear out quicker due to more frequent sharpening needed to keep it cutting fairly well when each tooth is sharpened on the outside of the tooth. This is my honest opinion.
Just a thought about your Allen tool. To make more room between the bolt and the tooth mount seat the tool in the bottom of the bolt if there's a gap between get a grinder and grind the tool until there is no gap
You can use a bar placed through the hole on the side of your mulcher to hold the drum from spinning during maintenance. It will save a lot of struggle for you.
A huge congratulations to Kailani for graduating from Clemson! 👩🏻🎓🎉
Happy to see you returned home safe from your travels, Davin. 😊

Nerd on Davin!
Keep these types of maintenance videos coming.

Hi Davin & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Davin & Friends Randy

This is great content.

I was going say about the same. Was just thinking a piece wood but a wedge would probably be better.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO DAVIN 😊

In Missouri we also call it a breaker bar, and sometimes we also have to use a cheater pipe with the breaker bar!! Lol
@@clydea.murphy2219 yep, same in southern Oregon. They are so handy when needed. Lol
That was interesting. Glad all went to plan.

Good job and video Brother.
Nice Vid!
Well explained

I was thinking about you spray painting the tooth holder different colors on top and bottom so they match. Could save you some time.
You know a old 2x4 under each teeth as you replace it will stop the spinning. 👍🏾
That's a good looking set of teeth! I think this is going to do a much better job of mulching.
Use a short extension you wouldn’t have to fight with a wrench clearance issue
You need to build you self a stop for you head on that machine to make your changing the teeth on it much easier. Have a great day.
Congratulations to kaloni👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻✌🏻
When using a torque wrench do a steady pull. Don't snatch it. Also keep hands at the end of it on the handle.
There should be a way of Locking that Drum from spinning. Need to Talk to them about that Davin.
Nice 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Pull steady, don't yank when torquing bolts.
Maybe lodge a piece of wood in the head to keep it from spinning?
Who ask you to come back, just stay gone, leave don't come back.
Is there A tool to Balance the wheel????
Do you just make sure blades are the same weight is the same?
Looks like a breaker bar to me never heard of a pull bar ? Probably the difference between the North and the South?
How do you know what one is witch
How old or how many hours on the old teeth you took off?
Nice job Devin Next time get your self a 4x4 and put it under one of the teeth when you loosen them up keep the drum from spinning
How much do the teeth cost each ??
32-34 per tooth is actually fairly cheap...my FAE head is around 50-60 per tooth!
My John Deere MH60D are much worse than that 🫣
I thought you’re not supposed to reuse the old bolts when you change the teeth. That’s what I’ve always heard.
Doesn't look right bolt holes look different one is out more on some
Throw all that away and get some skinny teeth. Way less drag in the machine and they'll rip a whole lot better.
Top work good looking from thans te video best fried Top week 👍🔨🧢🦺🧤🚚🚜
