- I intend to show every little action I take in maintaining and repairing this backhoe to bring it back to 100% working order. Like anything used, it has its little odds and ends that need repaired. This series will take us through those steps.
Thank you, PaPA, for showing how to replace that hose.
great video I've always had good luck with Napa making hoses.
I love the song you sang in the start of the video. Old equipment can be a real bargain. I had a old Case 530CK I got for free not running years ago, it cost me a lot of time and $1000 to get it running and working again. But I made money with it for years and then sold it for $2500, so in the end it was a real bargain.
It is just like this stuff I find thrown away. It costs too much to HIRE someone to fix what they have, so they pitch it. Labor will eat you alive on heavy equipment, but the parts aren't really all that expensive, especially on a Case.....a Cat is a completely different story !!
Boy we are lucky enough in our town to have a place that does hoses for JLG and Ingersoll Rand. I've had a lot of hoses made because of my job and they've always had everything on the shelf. Like the look of those wrenches. I've been using kobolt from Lowes with great success. Take care. 🎄
This was a 15 pc set from 3/8 to 1 1/4" for about $39 and I had a 25% off coupon !!
Only 30 rock city feet left to go trenching for a new water line when I noticed oil dripping from the bottom of a bucket lift cylinder hose. So here I'm learning about new hoses and tomorrow I be at Kubato or a local hose and cyl re-builders (if they are still there). Enjoyed the posts. The 2006 L39TLB -GST I just acquired has old hyd lines so I expect more problems to be solved. It's training me as I'm a newby.
Great video PawPaw and thanks for sharing, really appreciate you showing us how to go through the process of fixing things, you’re Awesome PawPaw. 👍👍👍
I had multiple flat tires on my backhoe, so I took them to a guy and had them filled with some kind of rubber .Now their flat proof .
Nice cold weather parka you’re wearing Paw Paw. I wear mine a lot in the Winter. Warmest coat I have.
Nothin better than a paw paw backhoe video to make my DAY THANKS ALOT SIR
hey Sir I'm a disabled veteran also live on fixed income I always ask for discount you earned it (also in the south here we say you couldn't get the hose started because you wasn't holding your mouth right) love the song you made up I also smoke and roll my own and I but the OHM brand too... thanks have a great day Sir
My problem was I was talking when I should have been screwing !!! LOL !!! Actually, putting the far side on first caused a little tension because of the stiff hose. Once I lined it up, it went right on.
it's all good
Our local parts store on the far end of town are pretty good ol boys and make hydralic hoses. Had them build my pickups power steering hose because it was cheaper and heavier duty than the factory replacement they sell in the box. Yes sir I am a cheap, lol
Nothing wrong being cheap! I am . You're a great , american that lives the Dream!
Nice way of Life, very nice song. !
Paw Paw,
My name is Mark from Winona Lake,IN.
I'm a serious believer and student of cheap fixes. I have a cheap fix for you to try when dealing with exposed hydraulic fittings. I use long empty pill bottles. They cover the fittings and can be secured with string.
What a wonderful song for introducing your video I'm all about saving money and spending more time up on my property instead of working myself to death!
a broken Craftmans wrench changing an alternator on my grandpa's car about 20 years ago outside anin AutoZone my grandpa was laughing cuz we bought the wrench from the AutoZone. Needless to say the ways surprised and gave us a new one. Fist and only time that's happened in my life I'm 42 years old now., And it even surprised me that I broke it lol.
Hi Bob i hope you will make lots of videos of you working the backhoe
LOL !!!! I promise. There are a LOT of things I can make a video of on this backhoe !!!
I always cover my open lines same way,plastic and tape
count the set of wrenches because they are for that machine. LOL I love your new to you tractor. By the way now you can deduct future tailgate charges since you can now lift anything you buy from the trucks.
No, I have a complete set at home, I just preferred an extra for convenience. If I lived on the farm, I would not have purchased them, so I can't justify calling the wrenches an expense, just a preference.
HECK YEAH !!! on the tailgate fees !!!
Great content !
Thanks buddy
you go man , git er dun
Great video, but you didn’t mention ( to the inexperienced) to relieve the pressure and make sure it’s not running, for safety sake.
Great point!
Hiya Bob, I was tellin ya to put some hair on it lol it go right in
just a word of advise. If you change front tire be sure is not a 2 ply tire will blow out with weight. I have learn this the hard way.
You are preaching to the choir !!! A lot of people do not realize the weight a front end loader full of gravel or sand puts on the front tires !!!
What about the hydraulic fluid? do you have to bleed the system or anything? or just add extra to the reservoir?
If you are truly keeping tabs on the cost of your equipment, you really need to add in the specialty wrenches you purchased from Harbor Freight, fluid you add, etc.
I am happy for you in getting what looks like a real bargain.
Well, the wrenches aren't "Specialty" wrenches and if I were to sell the backhoe, they would not go with it. And as far as fluid, you wouldn't add the cost of a tank of diesel every time you went out to do a job.
Hi paw paw just watched this hose replacement video it was good but shouldnt the fluid be checked to make sureit's full and does the system bleed the introduced air in the system through the pump on these ..tractors thanks J S...
If you don't turn the steering wheel to open the valve, no additional fluid is gonna run out. The system is self bleeding because everything is pumped back to a holding tank that is NOT pressurized. It is just like bucket with a vented cap on it.
Thanks!
Hi, What would be the procedure to make sure there is no pressure (release the pressure) on the lines before removing the hoses?
With the engine shut off turn the steering wheel all the way in both directions several times. With levers, same thing, push/pull several times.
@@DoingItCheap thank you so much sir
..those Pittsburg/Harbor Freight wrenches are BETTER than the crappyman's you buy nowadays. I stripped out one!! Luckily we have a hydraulic hose shop here. And, he likes to do it cheap. most times he will reuse your fittings if he can. That save ya $$$ and makes ya :-)> i think that's a smiley with a beard...
***** ..that's why i said .."if he can.".. Most times he will just tell you to put new fittings on to be on the safe side...
..okey dokey...
Thank you sir it was helpfull for me but hope more video to wach like how is it work, sir i ask you about this, do we need to pot some oil inside the hose before anstalling the hose? or no?
Subscribe so you can see the future videos which will teach you a lot.
If a bird shits in there then you're luck is like mine but I get you're point.......lol
Good video. :-)
What town are you in?
The tools at Harbor Freight may be guaranteed for life but they are Made in China. Craftsman is Made in USA. That is the difference. We have a higher standard of living than the Chinese , thank You Lord, and that is the difference in price. I for one have for many years and will continue to pay the higher prices for Made in USA products. Folks are starting to catch on so maybe more things made here will come available. Thanks for the video, I have to change a busted hose on my tractor front end loader.
I hate to burst your bubble, but Craftsman are now made in China.
@@DoingItCheap That's a damn shame. Probably what caused Sears to go under. I haven't bought any in several years. I guess I'll have to Proto or some other made in USA brand.
It is why I quit buying Craftsman, there you truly were paying for just a name.
What about a "Senior" discount? Virtually all stores give Seniors a discount, although the qualifying age may vary from store to store (ages range discounts are 50, 55, 60, 62 or 65. I have been getting this discount for years.
We have a JD 500b backhoe that needs a hydraulic hose in the arm replaced. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you
Replace it.
You ain't lived till you get an oil bath. I don't know how it missed you, lookin at the location of the control console
Who said it MISSED me !!! I had to hold the lever open to move the backhoe backwards off the driveway. That hose was under pressure when trying to lift the bucket off the ground. LOL !! You will notice I am wearing a different coat !
put the hard side on first Bob and sealer please. thanks Bob.
With the possible exception of pipe tapered fittings, hydraulics don't require sealers. They generally seal by o-rings or in this case (JIC) tapered fittings which require metal to metal contact.
Extend a ho ? Was she a tall gal ? LOl ! I made the same types of hoses except larger when I worked at a lignight mine . Great job !
got some work you can do if you get caught up in west tennessee
Work !!!???? Are you kidding me? I have never been so busy as since I retired !!
Can we enter the doing it cheap contest more than once????
yes
I work on hydraulic equipment everyday. For guys like you cheap.. next time get the reusable fittings they are more but can be reused. If the ever try to sell you Parker hose don't by it it's junk.. you might want to get some angle wrenches they are great. At work it's nothing to change a dozen of more hoses 7-12 feet long.. during a monthly service.
How did you get the new hose so cheap.
Don't buy a hose by the part number.......... take it to your local auto parts store that makes hoses.
you can get hoses cheap on eBay and one thing I do is when I blow a hose I take the old hose and cut it at the damaged area to save the good part and down the line I use them pieces later by putting a reusable fitting on the end or just press another fitting on the end. also I use an old fitting with a bolt in it as a plug instead of that plastic bag. come to think of it I think I'll enter that home made plug in your doing it cheap thing.
I'm gonna steal your idea and modify it. Gonna melt some lead and seal the fittings where they are crimped onto the hose. Make some good temporary caps for those lines !!
Hi what about bleeding the air out or are they fill with oil ? thanks !
I could give you some BS reason I didn't but the truth is I completely forgot about it.
ha yeah thanks for honesty then as i would not know otherwise , how would you bleed is there a bleed point in the systems its just i always wondered about these hydraulics on excavators etc , anyway thanks still great video im watching you old ones now and enjoying them ! .
The air works itself out.
As the oil cycles into the reservoir the air bleeds itself out.
Hope that background barking is not a puppy mill. Sounds like a lot of dogs.
NEVER on my property !!! I have two boxers. My daughter has two cocker spaniels and the neighbors have three mutts.
when will you do the video for the 5000 subscribers
LMAO!!
Sorry, but I was uploading the 5000 drawing when I read your comment.
Smart man who wants to pay 45 50 bucks for a hose and two fittings
:-)
Fill tire with foam
I am not talking about structure insulating foam. I am talking about tire foam specifically designed foe these type wheels. Most construction fork lifts will hav this installed in new tires to avoid flat tires on the work site
This guys channel is entitled "DoingItCheap". Filling tires with foam is NOT cheap. Not by a mile and unless he's using this daily to make his living, there's a lot of other things for him to spend his money on like more hoses.
