John Deere 35D Excavator: Greasing The Entire Machine

- In this video I bring you along as I service out a new to me 2012 John Deere 35D Excavator. In this video I do the necessary task of greasing the machine. A lock n lube connector on your grease gun is fantastic for jobs like this.
-Enjoy!
You may notice that I didn't show greasing the joint between the boom and the stick. However, rest assured it got done 😉 Also on a plus note, there is only one more service video after this one where I service the radiator and hydraulics. After that we get to see me break ground for the first time 😊 It sure was a lot of fun.
Enjoy!
Tools Used In This Video:
*John Deere HD Moly Grease Case TY6333 OEM (10 Pack)* - amzn.to/3G8sPVR
*LockNLube Heavy Duty Pistol-Grip Grease Gun-* amzn.to/3ZthRkH
I was hoping for all new pins on the boom lol
I did it yesterday at my new work/job I went from cars to stuff like this. Luckily the shop has a electric grease gun. But as always to have good tools is necessary to get the job done and don't waste time with searching for it
I could tell by Eric's demeanor he was enjoying this! If anyone deserves a new toy to have some fun with ,it's him.
After greasing equipment all day there’s nothing better then coming home and watching Eric grease equipment
Are you going to take it out for a 'shake around town' along the the brake check route and the four wheel drive area (love that crow hopping) or even the hill of power check?
I'm old enough to remember cars and trucks having greased suspension components.
I bought a Milwaukee battery powered grease gun for doing my tractor, it's a game changer!
Time for a battery powered grease gun for that machine, Eric !!!
LOL - no kidding - I was also going to comment that this is why mechanics/etc have forearm muscles the size of watermelons - LOL
Bet he gets one after this….
For that many grease points I'd say yes, for my small tractor it only takes a couple pumps of grease at each grease point, and takes maybe 10 minutes to do, so for me its not that big of a deal with a regular grease gun every 10-20 hours of use....but larger equipment like that excavator a battery powered or air powered grease gun would be great.
@@lqueryvg666 eh, arthritic/worn out joints is what happens
I will most likely never own an excavator in my life, but i'll watch what you upload, i always learn something.
Looking forward to you posting your 1/4 Mile times with this!
I don't even have a tractor and I love following your service videos.
Years ago I found rainman by watching him change blades on a lawn tractor and I don't have a lawn mower.
Interesting look at this monster, more maintenance then I thought!
That’s gonna be one well maintained machine! Throughout history tho, you haven’t done that on Mrs. O’s cars!
Hi from Cali again.... Time to scoop up some hot fudge for your big scoop of ice cream.
I was waiting for major damage to the Tundra's roof. Glad to see that you have some iron to play with and it is obvious you are enjoying it.
Well if the auto repair business goes haywire, you've got a backup gig!! Nice work all the way around!
After working on my mini farm for a few years now I’ve decided I need one of these. A digger and skid steer are almost essential! Enjoy your new toy!
Can't wait to see you put it to work Eric!
Just a tip on greasing, not an absolute got to, but whenever possible grease your pins with little or no pressure on them, meaning don’t lift the machine with the blade, and then grease the blade pins also, check the torque on your swing bearing bolts, “the one between the car and the cab” also, don’t forget to check the gear lube in the planetary’s below the rotation motor.😎
I spent the first half hour to 45 min of every day greasing every machine! Not every single fitting ,but all the ones that got in the dirt! Everything looked new and ran like new all the time! The boss always said,he wouldnt neglect a 300k excavator over $10 in grease.
Maintenance is cheap, downtime due to repairs, and the repair costs are a heck of a lot more expensive.
Mr. O wow that grease gun is a relic don't know when the last time I used one now that nothing on my car has greaseable fitting anymore. And there's no dust built up on yours impressive.
He said he pressure washed it first, which is why everything is clean LOL....equipment like that ends up with grease everywhere...the loader on my tractor does as well.
That Thumb is great for moving, sawing downed trees on your wood lot. Can also do some field tile drainage to eliminate those wet spots in the fields. 🗽🇺🇸. Cut & pile brush for the burn pile, make some new bike trails, excavators make efficient stump removers. Can even level trails that occur on a sideway slope. The list of tasks to undertake, are endless, but excludes actual "undertaking" . But you could open your own cemetery ❓
Cool videos and a great picture of you, Vanessa and the children especially Trinity. It's amazing how much she's grown over the time of your videos.
It’s worth noting that these grease fittings are only compatible with John Deere green grease guns
...and John Deere Green Grease.
As an old construction equipment mechanic coming home my wife would as me what was that fragrance. I couldn't say Chanel No. 5, so would say Multi-Lube No. 2.
Eric love the vids watch them weekly. I have been operating excavators for 40 years. I have owned close to 60 of them And no one greases the turret on the 90 degree increments. And I have never had a center swing gear/bearing failure. Most people just grease those 2 zerks which the machine spun opposite of the blade. Do it however it suits you. But I wouldn’t sweat it. Nice little machine I have a 50 g for my personal use in my ranch.
Lock N Lube, made in the USA, worth it. I've been using for a few years now, have the 90º attachment and the 3" one too, I can get grease in the most stubborn zerks. Great video Eric.
I definitely need the 90!
love these! .... when I buy a new toy it might be a socket set... Eric buys an excavator! Good for you Mr O..... Well deserved!!!
DeWalt makes a very nice grease gun I have one to grease our 938k. And JCB 535
Wait until you have to do your tracks (BATTERY OPERATED GREASE GUN) will appear. just saying
Ok MrO it’s time to invest in the Dewalt 20v grease gun 👍🏻👍🏻
I am enjoying these presentations.
I have to say this, though. Is there that much need for this machine? My thought is you have some project that renting one of those machines is out of the question. I hope you got it for a song and flip it when you're done. The very best to you and yours.
Out in the field, it's called irrigation greasing. You grease it until the grease oozes out, and that also removes the dirt build up.
Now this is must see TV.
Greasegun ASMR noise is a thing now? I have forgotten how satisfying a noise that can be. Thanks man, you rock!
my john deer Excavator is well been used a lot, bet it bugging for a good lube job. i love my, & hope your love your.
I am willing to bet you take better care of your equipment than 99% of owners do.
Thanks for having me back Mr Eric. Are those run flats? 😅
Wonder what Mrs O will say when the 35D is sitting in the living room, because it is too cold or wet to leave it out in the barn.
I cringed when the bucket came around. "Oooh don't hit that nice Tundra!" :-)
Memaw will be proud of you for fixing up her excavator. She taught you so much!
DeWalt grease gun! Works wonders
May need to check for ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, just saying ; )
Eric, I think you are going to need a pneumatic grease gun!
I haven't ever had any luck with the lock and lube fittings they don't seem to seal for me and the grease just spluges out the lock and line nozzle instead of being injected good video as always @Eric O - After Hours
Several points on my tractor that those stupid things don't even fit into....that coupler is way too large for several grease points, and I'm sure my tractor model isn't the only one with that problem. Another thing that sounds cool on paper but in reality isn't as useful as they manufacturer pretends it to be....a standard grease zerk coupler works just fine...and I don't have a pneumatic or battery powered grease gun either, only takes maybe 10 minutes to grease the loader & tractor, and if you do it like you should, it should only take a couple pumps of grease at each grease point.
@@wildbill23c I agree I have a electric grease gun and I end up using all my manual grease guns the most they fit in more places
Nice job Eric! I suspect if you were doing this all day every day, you'd probably have a pneumatic, or electric one, haha.
Hi Eric i purchased the pneumatic otc continuous grease gun works pretty well just for my truck and trailer thanks
Mrs. O is in her office, looking out, Omg what did he buy now..... Better not of come out of the kids college fund..... Mr. O... College fund?
I have a 50G, about all the same grease points. I wish there was a zerk on the back of the swing cylinder but I suppose it really doesn’t move much.
What batteries you have, that grease gun you will buy.
top tip: Weld the tips/teeth/claws of the bucket with carbide welding rod.
I never understood why any mechanic would want a pnuematically operated grease gun. That changed after today. Eric's gonna have Popeye arms after lubing the ol' John Deere. That or tendonitis.
I was hoping you would have shown the boom angle grease point on the back side of the hydraulic cylinder
After owning several pieces of equipment, I started buying grease cartridges by the case, you always find yet ANOTHER fitting, just as you run out of grease. I finally bought a battery powered grease gun, as some of the fittings require you to become a contortionist. And trying to operate a manual grease gun in some of those positions is impossible.
More evidence that the previous owner DID NOT service this JD as he suggested. Those zerk fittings, most of them, were dry and the surfaces behind them too.
That machine has never been shown so much love!
We had a grease gun at work for drive shafts /yoke joints greasing. The problem was that I didn't know how to fill it up again and with the thing in the back. I'm not sure if there was a grease tube/pack in it which I can throw out when Its empty. The other thing was that I needed actually 3 hands to operate it. The hose/nozzle didn't hold on the nibbles and there was a handle on the grease gun not likt in the video here. It was a pain to work with and I got stupid comments from the boss and his friends because "I even don't know how to use it properly!" if someone is telling me this now I might throw this rubbish in his face and shout at him! I'm tired of doing useless work or wasting my time with rubbish tools and equipment 👎💩
When Mrs O asked how to use it be careful we not see you anymore. Just kidding enjoy and happy digging.
Looks like the previous operator didn't grease his machine.
When I drove manual cars I used to lift the boot at the bottom of the gearstick and copiously grease the mechanism. It made gear shifts much smoother and the stick never got any slop in it.
don't forget to grease your joysticks before you fiddle with them ;)
Lubrication , a past tense when it comes to automotive. That's why components don't last.
I wonder how many people swing the cab around that many times to grease it...
There is a lubricant called Astroglide that will let you park your Cadillac in a dog house.
Eric Deep Down Greasemonkey Came Out Well Done 👏
This video will make you want to buy a power grease gun!!!
Awesome, these are cool. And congrats on the mini excavator.
Hairy why don’t you splurge go get you one of those battery operated grease guns so it wouldn’t take you so long
Yeah Eric maybe you should invest in a battery operate grease gun
Try a DeWalt cordless grease gun. You'll never go back!
@andrew camarata would be so prod of ya
That's a lot a greasin'
It doesn’t appear that the previous owner ever greased it very much.
Get yourself a grading bucket you will love it
Eric need to start hinting for Father's Day you want a electric grease gun.
you need one of those electric grease guns for that thing i can see why farmers buy them with all the grease fittings on their machines not too much on cars anymore.
Pneumatic grease gun should be a great investment
I bet you get an electric grease gun for next time. lol.. You only do it manually once.
Follow AvE’s advice on an electric grease gun.
What are you going to do with it, do you have a project you are wanting to do? Just curious
Sweetie little machine to tool around the property.
Grease the expensive way pre packed what a ripoff
We used to go through grease like nobody's business back when I was in the Army. Self propelled howitzer and ammo carrier had a least a gazillion grease fittings.😂
The M1A1 Abrams tanks weren't as bad, most grease that got used for them was when doing track tension, replacing tracks, or putting tracks back on after they fell off...usually in the worst places...mud holes LOL.
@@wildbill23c my M110A2 and M548 were old school..and that makes me feel old. I served on them in Nuremberg Germany in 86-88.
I heard Whistling Diesel dad had a 35D stolen and he’s on the hunt watch out Bro!
😂 I already checked this ones serial number
🤦♂️They don't make to many serviceable ball joints on our vehicles now of days.....everything is sealed up and waiting for failure😅
That is taking a lot of grease. Those are not even hard to get fittings.🙄
What !, No air or electric operated grease gun?
Can’t wait to see you put this thing through its paces
I see a Dewalt grease gun in someone’s future!
What's your plans with this thing?
Did you get yourself a new tundra?
I see an cordless grease gun in your future 😊
Battery powered grease gun??
It sure does take a lot of schluby dube!
Often never done or not done often enough
Thats great it has a quick coupler for the bucket
Yeah I have three buckets for it too :)
New Tundra? White now?
Two words Eric o Auto grease👍
Grease is the cheapest maintenance you’ll ever do on a machine. And less than a tube is great. Larger older machines take more.
time for an battery powered grease gun
Fine job service down to a T
I see a pneumatic grease gun in the near future
Did you get a new truck?
