The only way to really do it better would have been to big it up even more and then chuck it up in a lathe and machine it to a perfect sphere. I would say prob not necessary unless your putting new cups on too. Great repair thought.
Amazing how that weld can repair those balls. Glad to see you keep up on the maintenance. I don't know how you do it. These rigs are so big and everything looks heavy. DANG!
I have been watching for some years. Why do you never power wash your equipment before putting them in the shop for repair? It would keep your shop cleaner, better visibility for leaks and fatigue cracks as well keeping your equipment cleaner. Yes you will go out and get it dirty again, but the dirt and mud are hard on the seals and joints.I am a old farmer!
I'm thinking about buying an 850B LT what can you tell me what to look out for? I will be looking for wear on these for sure. How do you like this machine overall? For private use, not going to work it hard. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber.
Welcome and the two big things are the undercarriage and making sure the hydro drives are in good shape aka tracks straight and don’t get hot when pushing love mine it has been a great dozer
@@DirtPerfect awesome. Thank you. Are parts available for it? I have a small one off machine..waldin WD80. Final drive broke, and nothing available. It's a shame, because it's a great little dozer. Appreciate the advice.
If you're still in the market for one, I have a 750B LT ill sell you, just have to finish replacing a bearing along with some other general maintenance. Entire undercarriage was rebuilt by JD not too many hours ago, from what my grandfather told me before he passed. Hasn't been used much since. No need for a roughly 20 ton lawn ornament, lol
Can someone tell me why only one side has a tilt cylinder and the other side is manual? Also, part of an argument between me and a colleague, do these tilt the top of the blade towards/away from operator or is is something else?
Good job, totally agree with your approach. Nice weld repair and I have seen a lot. 40 years shipyard. Nice getting your daughter involved.
Thanks
From an old welder, Those guys did an excellent job of rebuilding that ball.
I thought so 😁 thanks for watching

Nothing worse than having ya balls get all sloppy bro. Those guys did a great job so thanks for letting us tag along. Safe travels

Back when I was youngster I would pick them dozer blades up by myself bare hands and move them around. 😏

Ok Maisie ! what ever you say !! lol
Mouse was like I'm out. Lol
At about 7:18, a mouse ran out from the right track just foward of the floor jack, and ran over to the red leg stand.
Yup ! Make the best of your time . We all have to learn to " Call a guy " when it makes sense .
Nice job
Thanks
Thanks
There was a mouse or something that ran out from underneath it when you started moving.

See that mouse come out at 7:19, i do battle with them non-stop!
Joe Hussey yes found his nest under seat and trap found him a few days later little pain in the butts !!!!!
Yeah I thought I daw it too. Glad I wasn't the only one.
I can't believe there's not grease fittings on those, maybe because they're in the dirt too much
Yup my guess
What do you like better working in the shop or on the job site.
Both to be honest
How hard was it to shim the angle brace arms ( not sure that’s the proper name)? I have one that I’m needing to do.
Not bad
nothing like leverage - give me a long enough lever and a fulcrum and a place to stand and i'll move the world - i think that was archimedes.
Like the way you think!
😁
Can someone tell me why only one side has a tilt cylinder and the other side is manual? Also, part of an argument between me and a colleague, do these tilt the top of the blade towards/away from operator or is is something else?
That’s what makes it tilt other
Side has to stay put only adjust to change cutting angle of edge
Did you see the mouse run out at 7.21?
Yes
🇺🇸👍👍👍🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
