- Well 2024 is really sucking so far. I got sick the day after Christmas and that had me down for a week and now the front wheel bearing on Big Munchie ASV RT-120F has failed. In the process it chewed up the front axle as well so we've got major repairs to make!

Considering how chewed up the axle and inner hub are, I’m surprised you didn’t throw a track and wheel while working. What a mess. Good job you found the full extent of the damage before fitting the new wheel.
I hope 2024 goes much better for both of us and our businesses. Thank you for the great videos.
We fall down...but we get right back up "Small thing to a Giant"
Hang in there Davin! Breakdowns are part of the biz bud. Look at it this way, ya got the first one out of the way!
😊
I pray you feel better soon. I am sorry you are having machine problems. I know CCE will take good care of it. Hopefully you will get it back real soon. And 2024 can only get better. When yourfamily arrives, make sure to grab some extra hugs.
Equipment failure is bad enough but it's even worse when you're sick. Hope you get better soon.
I'm sorry to hear that you got sick, and then also had machinery problems that cost you down time. I hope you are now feeling better, and that this blip is the worst of 2024 now out of your way. Take care.
Well, I hope the repair goes well. Thank you made the right decision. I’ll keep my ears open to see when you’re back up and going.
Aloha 🌺 Remember, When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Please take care. Much Aloha! 🥰🌺
Well, it will be quicker than trying to do it yourself. It was interesting to see the teardown. PS: don't be cheap, get a new snap ring! Nice video.
Hang in there Davin - you know that it WILL get better.
Breakdowns are expensive but are part of life great video thanks Davin
I'm very sorry to see the problems you have encountered with the ASV. But at least it is repairable. Sometimes you just have to send these to the shop. Maybe you can get some recommendations from the mechanics about ways to prevent this issue from happening again. Hope you get healed up and back to 100 percent. Hang in there, brother.
More mechanical vidioes please a big part of any business and cost things alway wear out very interest to see all your balls missing in the bearings must have been bad for a while prosperous new year from Heanor in the UK. I was a underground fitter in the coal fields so I sympathises with you when thing dont go easy. 😢
Hug from me in the UK,it's been a pretty crap 23 , so I'm thinking bring on the sun ,24 has started with a nightmare for me ....machines get a beating and when they're sick it's mechanics ...here's to 24 getting better..
Looks like the inner wheel took a hell of a beating in 23,pretty much as you did Davin. I really hope your luck improves PDQ man
Pick up a decent dead blow hammer and a cheap set of wrenches. That way you can "bump" the bolts loose without risking your knuckle skin. Learned that a good while ago when I was a mechanic.
Atleast you gave it a decent effort to try and fix, You really never know how bad it is til you get deep into it. good video! it can only get better from here!
Sorry for your troubles. Pray that 2024 will be better for you. One step at a time. Again will pray for you. Thanks for letting us come with you on your journey.
Keep moving forward don't look back
Bummer 😞 you'll get it done 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.
Oh man...so sorry for the pain and inconvenience. Good luck to you!👍👍
While in the shop have them check all the rollers and get your undercarriages repaired and good to go for 2024. Could be expensive, but will keep you on the jobs and not in your shop.
Davin, I hope you get the 120 fixed. Take care and I’ll see you down the road…
Got my first skid steer in the beginning of December because of this channel. Kubota SVL 65-2. I’ve made $5k this month and was on a roll but then my windshield got busted out by some random kids ($1250) and house AC crapped and I need a new unit. $8k. When it rains it pours. You just gotta laugh at it say fukk it or it will eat you alive.
i worked at a Power Generation Plant for 45 yrs and 30 of those years was spent as a mechanic in maintenance. We use to take the covers off of the sealed bearings and pack them with grease because the amount of grease they put in there was just not enough by our standards. If you were doing the job yourself i would suggest packing those bearings yourself. But you are taking it to the dealership shop . I knew that shaft would be damaged because of the bearing failure. You use that machine alot , too bad that you can't grease those bearing once in a while with fresh grease like you do on the arms of machine which hold your attachments. Live and learn. Good luck , hope the rest of the year is good to you.
Takes money to make money sad but true. Keep the work coming in. This is also a good example of why though being a good person and donating your time and equipment shows the risks involved with no pay to make repairs if needed.
Hang in there buddy life isn't always rough
Keep your head up Davin! We all need to keep pushing and trucking the best we can. Money is super tight and bills are worse but in the end WE ARE STRONG! One thing at a time…right?!
Take er easy, this to will pass. Best wishes from Texas and look forward to more of your vids in 2024.
You said something in a recent video you thought something was going on with it. Looks like you were right 😊
Have JD folks do a good inspection while they are underneath the machine. See if there is anything else. Curious cost for all this work? I have never known a time when I know so many people sick at one time (me included). Hope you feel better soon! Garner says 'hey'.
what do you do that you need so many fans?
Sorry for the troubles!! The reason that bearing went bad is from that big chunk of rubber missing on that caster. Every time it rolls over that it’s pounding the bearing
Wow! You guys really like fans. That’s a lot of wind power.
Happy New Year Brother. Good job and video Brother. Owe the joys of being an owner/operator.
Interesting stuff dude... Always learn something from you
If it weren’t for bad luck,I have no luck at all. HAPPY NEW YEAR.👍👍👍❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
On the way 100K. Good on ya.
Keep pushing Davin! You got this brother 👊🏾
Davin, I know how you feel. I've been down for about 3 weeks and you just don't feel like doing things when you're not feeling well. Get better soon. God Bless And Good Health for 2024.
Thanks for sharing Davon and yes, keep moving forward brother and God Bless You my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Get to feeling better, get some rest and take care. Love your videos.
Davin, am sorry that your sick, and then all THIS happened with Big munchie, but glad that you caught this now, and it can be repaired. Paul and I are both sick as well, AGAIN, we both had covid in november and now just a day or so after BIG christmas, we are both sick again . Sigh. God bless you and your family.
I hope things get better for you!!
Get yourself plenty vitamin C my friend, get some rest Davon! Jon at
Upstate Brush Control changed his a while back!
hello Devon & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool Thanks Devon Friends Randy
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO DAVIN 😊
I know last year was a tough one all the way to the new year and this year is not off a good start but I hope the rest of 2024 goes smoothly. Keep your head up and keep on moving and I am sure things will be looking up.
God bless you! 🙏 Happy New Year!🎉🥂
Suggest a bottle jack or floor jack to raise the frame. I've never worked on those, but it looks like you can jack up the frame the suspension should drop enough for you to have clearance.
Two things….first I really liked that you tried to fix your own stuff. Second I would have the dealer remove the dust cover on the other side and check the nut. Also…I would also look at how many hours you have on the machine and divide it by two and in the future every let’s say 500 or 1000 hours you remove the dust cover and inspect the bolt that came loose. I bet the big washer you found was between the nut and bearing….if so and you decide to inspect in the future just remove nut, washer add new grease and then torque back down and replace dust cover.
I'm sorry you're having such a rough start to the new year!
Look like it’s missing all the ball bearings! Call brother to help you my friend, I see you have plenty brothers! I didn’t know you had that many brothers until yall were working on your family’s ponds!
Let me tell you something that you may not know. You my man. set the standard for filming forestry mulnching on the fly on big munchie. You know exactly where to place the go pro to get the best pictures and filming of the distruction your cutter makes. I first started watching Upstate Brush Control, but I found your videos are much more exciting to watch. Most of the time you are not lazy about moving the go pro around to get the best angle for us to see what your mechine can do. The only thing I see that would make your posts better for me is if you would push past your comfort zone sometimes. But I know why you don't do that. You have learned from your mistakes and most of the time you have to fix'em yourself. If your running Big munchie A'm watchin.
You need to go thru and inspect everyone of the nuts on the bogies
They make a plastic clamp that wood workers use but you can use this clamp to connect those fittings you can get them at Lowes or home depot.
This is a tough day, Davin. Take care of yourself so you can get better
Once you get that axle out check with big truck axle repair places and see if they can replace that spindle so you have a spare one laying there ready especially if they are common for each side. I would drill a hole for a grease fitting, grease it then put a plug in the grease fitting hole OR pack it full of grease when installed
Bad luck Davin re health wise - so many here in Australia have had this type of bug or Covid these last few months. That really is a mess - even I could see that wasn't normal. Things must go up from here and as you say go forward.
Keep leaning forward in the foxhole, my friend. Only the strong survive. You gave it a heck of a good effort.
I knew that axle surface would be seriously scored up in the last video you used big munchie in. The minute you could here that creaking and popping it was already too late. When you burn up a bearing those crushed little metal pieces grinding in there take very little time to eat through the inner race and start eating into the axle. It's a good thing you're attentive to sounds or that would've eaten a deep enough groove into the axle for it to snap on you, and then you'd be in a whole new world of trouble. That being said because of the extremely uneven forces being applied with that inner bearing gone and the axle chewed up you really need to replace the outer assembly as well. Those uneven forces will at the very least cause excess play in the outer bearing due to bellmouthing the inner race, but more likely it has very unevenly worn the balls within the bearing (and the cage is probably eaten through) which will lead very quickly to bearing failure. You'd be doing yourself a favor by replacing the outer assembly now rather than when it fails within a few months at most and risking another axle replacement when it does fail.
Seeing the inside of the shop, I now understand you have a lot of fans; disaster abatement company?
Let's hope a cold and a bad bearing causing some stress is the worst that happens this year, you can laugh or cry- it happened either way. Cheers man, and happy new year.
Stay strong shit happens I'm the same way it comes in pairs for me
. Sorry you have been ill. At least your basically over that, but then this other problem, boy just what you need!!!
Love
You’re doing good Davon! Might have to pry that one side of the track over to remove it! Just one of those things brother!
IMHO: Jack the machine up and pull the track off. Later on it will make life easy for you repairing the part. Also inspect all the other under-carriage components. With one failure there may be more. Repairing undercarriage is something you have to be good at... or spend money on a mechanic.
If you have equipment it’s going to break. I would learn to do that kind of repair myself. There is enough info on the internet to show you what to do. It’s bad enough to have to pay for the parts much less dealer repair rates. Yes, you are not working if you are fixing, but the money you give to the mechanic is from your profits.
They make billet aluminum boogie wheels for the ASV and you can get away from them rubber ones. They are after market but seem to be better.
What’s all the blue things round your workshop? 😊
I dislike having to “like” this video but I also get that that’s what gets you paid from TH-cam…
Look at the bad crap like a bandaid - would you rather just pull it off and get it over or deal with it slowly over a long time?
Life is gonna throw curveballs - just dodge what you can, go loose when you occasionally get hit, and be confident that tomorrow is a new day.
Davin, are there any quick or auto couplers that can make hooking up the hydraulic lines to your attachments?
Seems like a struggle every time you have to change attachments.
Okay, gotta ask. What's with the 50 carpet fans? Look at the break down this way. Hopefully you've gotten the bad mojo out of the way first thing and things will get better from here.
Sorry not too interested in the mechanics. Just like to watch you demolish/mulch stuff. Happy New Year from Notts UK. Have a great weekend with your family. 👏👌☺️🏴
whats up with all the floor fans ?
😢
The track should be slack not tite with bits of wood😮
Any reason you can't install a grease/zerk fitting to the dust cap like boat trailers have? I know the zerk fitting sticking out a little might be a concern for branches you drive over.
Thats easy breakdown try having a skid steer catch fire and put in shop, then insurance okay's repair 44k and 6 months later lost jobs but got another machine a month and a half before getting other machine. 3100 a month on 2 machines i had 2 skids an excavator with 2 pick up trucks then mulching and excavation slows down trying to come up with 7400 a month with no work coming in talk about rough.
Failures never happen at a good time. Get some rest.
What is with all the blue blower fans?
Yuk, that was a mess! Mechanic work doesn’t usually go in my favor either…😀
Yeah and the other bearing on the other side of the one that was ground up had to be replaced too so... 😐
Yep. 2024 is bad. My dad died on January this year.
Bummer … it can always be worse
can we get a pov in cab of the next job
Starting out bad means it will get better
What's up with all the blue blowers
Sorry your 24 is starting out bad. I do have a question I’m new to your channel but what are those blue blowers hanging on the wall.
Devon,I have been nothing but supportive.I am at a loss as to why my comments have been deleted. Could you please enlighten me if you would be so kind.
I wouldn't think it's Davin, as busy as he is. I don't know how he has time to edit these, much less deal with comments.
From personal experience commenting on other channels, sometimes it's the dang YT algorithm, not the channel owner. One thing I've learned is, if you think it might be deleted, try re-sorting the comments using the 'Sort by' control, from 'Top comments' to 'Newest first', and see if it's there in that view. If so, try and go back immediately and edit it, making some small change. If it throws that red text error and won't post the edited comment, you've used a word or phrase that the algo isn't letting in, or some other reason the algo doesn't like you. And at least what I've found is, once you see that error, no amount of changing the comment will let it post, that one's just done.
Anyway, joys of YT. Good luck!
Things do happen, and you did make an attempt to do it yourself. But you are able to admit your limits and know when its time to seek further help. Don't let this program cloud the rest of your year, as you said your self, crap happens and we all have our difficulties in life. Trust in the Lord.
Me to I am still a little bit better
way to tired or way to old
