    I love your mindset 😊❤😊 on welding ( Chain HOOKs) to front blade top. So many times I had to run chain over blade base frame. In my Humble opinion that is a area that gets weaker over time, dozer we hauled did NOT have frame welded RING for tigh downs. You asked me if I was in Alaska. I have traveled there on Princess Cruises only. I live in NW
    I own a 1978 Dynahoe-190 Two wheel drive. My all time favorite Backhoe 😊 even though I started learning on a Case 580- CK then ran a brand new 580- C working for my uncle. Then a 580-D and 580- K when Case change there boom design. Why you ask do I own a Dynahoe it because I ran one in 1979 on a huge mainline sewer ULID housing development. I did hoe pack work but mainly dug side sewer stubs. I also ran a 680 Case with just hoe packer on mainline crew. I just feel in Love with the Dynahoe thay just were a beast of a rubber tired Backhoe ( backhoe end part of mainframe ) they dug standard depth without extension with backhoe 19 feet deep. That old (353 Detroit Diesel) just keeps running for me sense 2003 when I found her. Me like you could not pass up buying her. We wrote up a sales contract with the desperate home builder who wanted to sell her. I gave him some money down payment and if the leaky hydraulics and brake repair were more than the cost he wanted for the Dynahoe
    Then I would not pay him the rest that he wanted. He was asking to much for what I had to do resealing all the hydraulic leaks
    Just like you on the front blade control for dozer he had hooked up the front bucket dump backwards. I did the same as you switched the hydraulic hoses. I have one more front dump cylinder that leaks bad right now. I just did the other one. The last hopefully on leaky seals 😊

    i know that feeling when there is unexpected resistance/circuit corrosion. It really hurts trust even when the wire's/solder joints are fixed cause it can be a big question mark of what actually caused the issue to start. Great to see you over came it

    Been there done that with my 450. Always happens in the worst places and the worst times. The tensioner shafts get rusted and weak and breaks when on slight angle. Replace with any similar sized shaft or sleeve over what's there. In a tough spot, need some bottle jacks under that side. Hopefully the idler will slide back easily enough and you can pry the track back on. Goodluck mate I know how it feels

    Another comment ( had to watch 25 minutes of video) 😊 ❤before I got to see the wonderful 450- B move some dirt
    BOY I wish I could get my Dynahoe to helh remember tree roots 😊 I would let you just use her to help. I had a Maple stumb twice that size. And the Dynahoe even being a 1978 with (8000) hours on meter just lifted the maple stump up with one pull 😊 I rented a dumpster from a yard waste place about 5 miles from me. I loaded up the stumps in it with front bucket 😊 I took out 5 maple stumps from my small back yard 😊 one your pickup or should say gooseneck flat bead. Was it because of Wt. Of 450-B LOAD or is it your opinion the computer board is just getting hot from all the road travel with that Wt. Those solder connectors might be melting out of connection. I love you showing the 450-B brake shoe adjustment access plate and demonstration of Beake adjustment, that was outstanding to see what that side plate cover is for 😊❤😊

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My long winded theory is this: The FICM is cooled by fuel. Pulling all that weight had the engine under a lot of load and the ECU was commanding full rail pressure for hours (26k psi). This gets the fuel hot and possibly over 212F. There was already moisture in the FICM from an unrelated issue. I think the hot fuel allowed some of that moisture to turn to steam and thats where it started to affect the components on the PCB. No problems since replacement, fingers crossed.
      Love to hear about your Dynahoe. There great, heavy machines. I hope you wear hearing protection if yours is a 2-stroke!

      YES the Dynahoe is a ( 2 stroke) but the loudest beast I have is a 1971 SeaGrave engine with you guessed it ( 8V-71) Detroit Diesel. My wife thought let's put stacks straight UP. So on Parade we don't blow smoke on kids sitting
      On curbs. Boy "O" boy she is loud ( I use hearing protection) when I have to build RPMs to get the shift in gear. She has a (5) speed ( Dana/ Spicer
      Transmission. The thing about the Fire engine that's so amazing is the (3) filters 1 oil ( sock type) in the canister (2) fuel filter are screw ones. They all are under the engine just above the frame rails. The (3) air filters are up top on passenger side rear top of engine. I can just slide under Fire engine to do service changes
      It's easier than my 2021 Silverado Duramax.

    I realy feal for ya on this one. Im gona guess you have alredy got this repaired. But to make it a little easyer on your self you could release the tention on the track and get it back on to atleast move it up to a better spot to work on it. Just have to go easy while its bent. As for your slack adjuster rod they rot out spending there life coverd in dirt. Good thing you got that mill to repair it lol. Fixing the rail isent too hard Youll get it fixed. Cant wait to see it.

The down hill track came off to the inside the track became loose the sprocket was sliping and wouldent grab. The up hill track was just spinning cuz all the weight was down hill. Bank was too steep to jack the dozer up on. It was a mess. Ended up hooking to the back of it with the tractor and pulling just bearly geting it to spin around . As it was going down the hill backwards it poped itsself back on. Managed to keep it on to get it to the garage.

      @spankranchgarage  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The cooling certainty doesn’t hurt. But this one had moisture in it and as it got hot was causing the malfunction. Be careful washing under the hood and you will be fine, cooling it or not cooling it.
