Teaching moment for Austin.
I love to see a DIYer taking care of business! The only way to know it's done correctly & on time.
It is no wonder you get such long life from the equipment your crew uses. You are in there taking care of all of it. That must be a real time consuming job, as y'all use so much big machinery. But then they cost a good deal so the smart man that you are, takes extremely good care of all of it. One can certainly say you are not afraid of hard work and no task is too tedius. I stand impressed!
Thanks for filming the buggy maintenance Hoss, it was very thorough.
You do a great job with the upkeep of your machinery that is key to keeping them running and good shape they are expensive love to watch your videos
The adding oil and then adding the plug to flush the last bit is a GREAT idea .. Never thought to do that in all my years :)
Thanks that’s one of my old bosses tricks
Would be nice if the caps were threaded for the zerk fitting and then install a vinyl cap to keep debris out of the fitting 🔨🪚🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏼
I was always taught to take care of your tools. And they’ll take care of you. Great job as usual.
love watching you explain the maintenance ...my OCD has me wanting to clean off that concrete....some guy says Lime away works....
Good job Tom. Keeps the wheels rolling....
Great job maintaining your equipment, gives you something to do on the snow days in PA😁
I also repair the transmissions for the canycoms or sell new
You are going to be a restoration before long ! lol New paint and all ! lol
Tom have you tried using a pneumatic needle scaler to get the concrete off of the areas you need to work on? I'm sure you'd kill the needles faster than on welding slag but I bet it would be a ton faster and easier than a hammer and chisel.
The hammer and chisel work pretty good it really doesn’t take that long and I can get in those tight places behind the rollers thanks
I use to work in concrete foundations for traffic signals and a lot of our forms had a lot of dried concrete on them. I started using lime away on the forms and after a couple of times it removed the old concrete and got my forms back to looking and functioning like new.
Hey there Tom, great video doing maintenance on the equipment. I’ve been an old time maintenance guy myself but I saw a video on making a oil suction device that’s fits on my shop vac. Makes changing oil a lot more convenient, especially on my lawn mower. I getting too old to lift my mower and it hot when I change the oil. I saw the design on a you tube channel. It was Chris Notap you tube channel changing lawn mower oil. Thanks much for sharing your videos.
Just an idea on the undercarriage. Weld a 1” threaded coupling around the grease fitting and add a plug to the end. That way it saves you time on removing bolt and putting in grease fitting.
New Pitts word, wetin, I hope the filter mfg's are watching and take your advice.
Thanks for adding the maintenance videos an important parts of job.
Good job Tom
Boy, am I jealous of your DeWalt Grease Gun! Would have loved to have one of those 40 to 50 years ago!!! Taking car of the race cars, and the daily drivers would have been soooo much easier! My elbows hurt just remembering what they felt like after doing 4 or 5 vehicles in an afternoon / evening session out in the shop.
Great video Tom!👍🏻👍🏻
While the boys are playing with explosive and building leaving the Old Man to do all the maintenance!
Gives us all a little break from each other it’s about to end quickly
Hi Tom maybe add a 2 or 3 inch pipe extension to your grease fitting to make it easier to install and remove the grease fitting. You could keep the extension with the grease fitting in your tool box for next time
TOM, just got notified on this video, thought you might be on.....'VACATION' ! LOL
It’s sort of like a vacation
Preventive maintenance saves a lot of worry later as you know all the equipment was serviced and ready to go.
You should sell your how to videos for equipment to tech schools, great video Tom
Who knows maybe I’ll get a free coffee
I could not imagine being without the use of the buggy, maintenance is very important! I thought there was a chemical that dissolves concrete? Might be a good opportunity to try spraying some Fluid Film?
....and when you've put all the panels back on, you can start all over again.....! I'm worried about your winter cough....I find a whisky mac....(blended whisky with green ginger wine) is efficacious for me !
Good Morning Tom. Am I missing something obvious, or why can't you just leave the grease zerks permanently installed? They make zerk covers to keep debris out of the fitting. As always a great video.
The grease fitting won’t sit under that heavy duty cap if you put a bigger cap on it will stick out and break off and use I would love to see something changed there thanks for the comment thanks for watching
Most people don't realize the more equipment the more maintenance costs and labor just to maintain the equipment. Break downs really sucks in the middle of a task.
We have a concrete cutting business in northern Wisconsin and we use a chemical called mudslide to clean up our saws and equipment it’s spendy but it works fantastic you might like it
I use WD40 to clean the dirt off then I use a White lithium grease or the old style 3&1 oil
It seems to last longer then other oils. Of course I’m old and 3&1 was the only thing around back in my day.
Tom, you might also clean the battery terminals.
Have you tried using a Needle grease tip?
I can get you any part for the subaru engines i
whick make and model are the buggies?
Great maintenance Tom, where did you get you oil dispenser, that's interesting. Thanks!
Hovis auto parts
@@Concretewiththehauses Thanks! I live in Canada, do you know what the item is called? THanks!
@@lanopie Lincoln makes a similar one called a "Flexible Spout Measuring Can"
@@itas0r Thank you!!
Tom is each cycle of the grease I hear equal to one pump of grease out of the gun ? I’m just curious I have only used the manual grease guns.
As soon as you get one you’ll never go back
What made you go with buggy’s with tracks vs wheels?
The tracks will go anywhere we’ve never gotten one stuck yet
Corvid or dust cough?
Transmission fuel?
?
@@Concretewiththehauses there's engine oil hydro Hydro fluid transmission fluid an air filter I'm looking in my instruction booklet for maintenance and it says you have to change the transmission fluid but it doesn't tell you how to do that or to check it
The Subaru plant was bombed and the plan is out of business. Do not know if they reopen the plant someplace else. The same plot produced the Subarus.
I thought it was a hurricane but not sure
Preloading oil filters is not a good idea.
Why not
@@Concretewiththehauses one of the mechanics I watch, rainman ray says it opens up chances of contamination. You might check out his videos. It has been a while since he explained the reason.
@@Concretewiththehauses I checked on the filter issue and found why it is best to not preload filters. You run a risk of introducing contaminates into the wrong side of the filter media. It is best to filter even new oil before it reaches the engine. Oil pressure will build up quickly even if the oil filter is empty. There is still some lube on the engine parts after the oil pan has been drained so the engine is not damaged. The filter on the 306 is an example of no oil in the filter because the filter is horizontal and all the oil can drain to the oil pan after it sits. I do like that you add a little new oil to flush more of the old oil out before reinstalling the drain plug.
Like your videos except for the music
How come you don’t make your employees clean the buggy’s after each use. The mixer drivers always cleanup after each job they deliver…If your employees have time to Lean they have time to Clean!!!!
