I wish that we had TH-cam 30 years ago. I almost bought an old skid steer but was afraid it was beyond my skill level to repair. Congratulations and nothing but respect for all your hard work 👍
I worked for Toyota for 40 years before retiring and a purist to the brand, but your color choices look great. During the wiring episode as you showed connectors I knew something was up when that cold start injector connector didn't have a spot.
I want to thank everyone for checking out my video, check out part 1 and 2 if u haven’t already. This has been a big project I’m glad it’s almost done, let me know what y’all think about the colors, thanks again!! By the way some of the sound and video didn’t get edited in the end of the video 😫
@@stevedue4485The American Flag is always supposed to be backwards on the passenger's (right side) of any vehicle. Always place the flag decal so that the canton is seen to the viewer's right. The stripes should be positioned closest to the rear of the vehicle on both passenger and driver side. This also applies to wearing a flag on clothing. The stripes always face to the back. It’s as if you’re driving or walking forward holding a flag, the forward motion always blows the flag back.
Love you video’s. I see a lot of new people posting things like replacing engine in skid loader but a lot of them don’t show the actual work. They walk around saying stuff like I put this new engine in,here is the old one. I had to drill new holes to mount it but none of them actually doing it. You have some of the best I have seen as you diagnose then repair. Wish you the best on you tube and look forward to you painting the loader. Thank you
Just found your channel watched first two restoration and now this you have accomplished a great job both in video as well as detailed workmanship made me lol at beginning comments on what you paid for it and to those that thought you should of took it to the scrap yard not worth your time and wondering if they all have changed there minds now LOL👌VERY GOOD JOB Thanks for posting
@@TheHomePros6221 the algorithm brought me here through the same route, and I don't watch many restoration videos. I think you've hit the quality of video and size of channel where you'll start to gain traction faster. Thats why I'm here making a comment :)
I knew a few guys who painted cars with isocyanate paint who had serious heart problems. They regretted not using an air source. One guy told me that it only takes a whiff to do real damage. The hardener, I believe, is what does it. Also, silica dust from blasting or cutting masonry will change your life, fast. I'm not a safety freak. I'm just practical. And, great job on everything you do.
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos and I am hooked. Your a brilliant mechanic and seem to take on anything that comes your way, very adaptive learner, and master of many trades. I am very impressed to say the least. Love the color scheme best looking skid steer I’ve ever seen!
I think that is about the best looking skid steer loader I have ever seen! It looks excellent, much better than the original colors! The lights look great too, very helpful for night work.
Hey just spent every spare minute I had today watching the first 3 episodes of the old Toyota. Absolutely perfect recording and editing skills! You did a great job painting however that blue… definitely something to talk about I prefer the original color myself anyway thanks for entertaining me for the day you have earned my subscription ❤🎉
thank you so much!! that really means a lot to me! the color is actually a teal green and dark grey but the green looks blue on camera for some reason 🤷
Man, you're a beast! That was a lot of work. That thing looks brand new. Love the decals and the beams, just puts the final touches to it. Say hi to Poochie for me.
You should be able to get the main arm in float mode by pressing the foot pedal forward until it "clicks" into float mode. The you can back drag and adjust the bucket angle and grade better. Very nice work!! Makes me miss my old sdk7!
Mate you did an amazing job, when I saw the wiring problems I would have skipped it, I hate wiring, but hats off to you. I bet it would fetch a load more than what you paid, you sure showed all the doubters
Job well done..probably that was the best SDK7 I have ever seen...mechanically is good the coulers are awesome. The lights are amazing. You should do this kind of restoration and similar things and you will be amazed how fast your chanel will grow. Keep up the good work and good luck .
Wow that looks very nice 👌 you did an amazing job with it I watched it from the day you got it til the finish. I was a little skeptical about the colors but it looks great 👍 good job 👏
It looks awesome, you did an amazing job from getting it running, to fixing the issues. As it's a Toyota I'm sure you will have many years of trouble free problems. It's no longer a piece of crap, extremely well done. Cheers from Eastern Ontario 🇨🇦.
Nicely done Lad… I used to love doing the same kinds of restoration work when I was your age… wish I had the energy to do it again… I loved doing it… Att’ll do pig…Att’ll do!
Nice transformation. The wiring is always the most tedious and time consuming. You never know how many guys before you hacked on it before you end up doing things correctly. Nice job.
Thanks biff 👍 I appreciate u stopping by!! I really want a bx tractor like yours I mite sell this and get one, I just love how useful and compact they are!!
Bro! You are doing great things. I love the accomplishment and satisfaction you get from completing projects that you get to call your own. Keep up the good work and keep improving!
You did a amazing job...keep up the great work...i just found your channel and I'm glad I did ...i totally recommend your channel to everyone...u really like the matching paint jobs it's unique
38:01 when he puts the bucket down you can see how sacked out this thing is. Otherwise what an amazing transformation! For what you have into it, it’s a sweet machine.
Holy shit the amount of work you did to bring this back. wow man, im really impressed, Toyota should call you up and send you a brand new skidsteer for free if you ask me.
I wish that we had TH-cam 30 years ago. I almost bought an old skid steer but was afraid it was beyond my skill level to repair. Congratulations and nothing but respect for all your hard work 👍
man tell me about it!! I wish we did to! but then again I was able to teach myself how to fix things but it would have been easier with it
Colour, amazing, 👍 lights, awesome, 👍attention to detail, with the decals, top notch. 10/10 👍👍👍
Thanks a bunch!!😊

To keep those new decals from drying and peeling, give them a couple of coatings with clear paint from a rattle can.
yea I was thinking about doing that, they are supposed to be highly uv resistant 3m vinyl but I mite clear coat em
Nice work ! It's amazing what a little prep and a fresh coat of paint can do . Good job on chasing the wiring gremlins too !
thank you so much my friend!!
Worth every moment from start to finish.
thanks Aaron!!
Another great job, I learn a lot, always a pleasure watch your project, you are a great mechanic and you explained very well 👍👍👍👍

This is the most impressive work I have ever seen !!
thank you sooo much!! that means a lot to me!!!
I didn’t know Toyota even made a Skid Steer 👍🏻👍🏻

The first proper solder joint with proper solder I've seen on youtube!!! Heat shrink to boot!
thanks John I always use the 60/40 lead solder that new stuff is junk

Great video!! Looks like your bucket could use a new wear edge!
It’s actually pretty good there was just a lot of roots and play in the pins and bushings making the bucket ride over the roots
38:01 when he puts the bucket down you can see how sacked out this thing is. Otherwise what an amazing transformation! For what you have into it, it’s a sweet machine.
