"It's (the video) goin to be kinda long..." My favourite phrase on this channel.😁
First to like and comment. Was just scrolling to see what is good to watch and there you go....update from Jesse. 2 and a half hours of leisure coming up and sweet red wine on the side. What more can a man ask for
Or a woman!!
@@karencary3312 even better of cause yes👌🏼
I'm sure it slows your work down but I love these long videos. Thanks Jesse
I hate to say it because Andrews channel was in my top three channels for such a long period of time, you have now taken his place in my top three. I started watching for the beginning and the quality of your videos. Just keep on getting better and better. Great job.
Dude, I love two and a half hours of you working on heavy equipment.
Looking at the pace of the workshop construction I imagine that 2½ hours of viewing took at least a week to a week and a half to video. It was great viewing though eh. 👍
@@josephking6515 I’d rather watch Jesse fight his equipment and build than watch a Super Bowl or a title fight. I learn too…
Awesome, now I can't wait to see what you do next. Awesome video Jesse. Jesse little man said leave my ice cream alone. man your kids are growing up so fast. awesome family.
It's a lot of work, and in the end you know what you have. You can spend more on another machine, but also then you never know what you have bought. This was a nice 2.5h watch. Keep on going Jesse!
I admire how you take on these kind of projects. Few have the skills coupled with the motivation to see it through 👍👍
motivation is what most people lack, skill will come when tackling this kind of jobs
Great project, I agree with all the comments on your channel! Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!
When I discovered Andrew Camarata's channel I thought this was the best you could find on TH-cam, until it led me to your channel (When you helped him with the flipped crane) and now I know I struck gold. Your set of skills is out of this world for a young guy like you. Kudos for that. With the way you deal with problems, you inspire people like me to tackle things I would consider very intimidating until I see someone else doing it. Then I feel much more confident in my abilities. Thanks for everything and keep the videos coming.
There's Diesel Creek too.
He hasn’t got the skills of this guy or AC
Same.way I found him
well said. Both channels are 10/10. Its no surprise they are friends.
You know, the crain issue brought me here also!
Bros going hard, Andrew ,Jesse and off course my main man Ants Pants posting!!
Love ants pants
@@1995Z71Yup .. he's a smart dude.
That poor machine…years of poor or no maintenance; what a waste, I always try to keep everything maintained so I don’t have to keep replacing it or suffering poor performance. Oh well, thanks Jesse for resurrecting it! Love the video.
Definitely a big job Jesse Going to be nice when done
🙃All the dirt in and on the tracks only belongs there when the machine is working. When it's not in use, it has to be clean at all times. Well done, Jesse.
😉😊
That flux core weld test was nuts!
I think you have the *sisu*. Finnish word meaning determination, tenacity, grit, resilience, and hardiness all in one word.
Well done and greeting from Finland.
Excellent educational video, THANKS. Can’t wait to see the follow up videos
great stuff!. One suggestion would be to wash every machine to the maximum before you take anything inside the brand new garage :)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Loved every minute!!! ❤❤❤❤
Another amazing project and amazing video. THANK YOU JESSE!!!
If I knew then what I know now things would have turned out different. Great line. I enjoyed your video, Jesse! 😊
I admire your determination and your skills. Great job.
That’s the next 2 1/2 hours sorted, thanks for this ✌️❤️ from the 🏴
Excellent video and the most patient man ever. Great job. Many more videos please, we’re begging you. We love the fact that you don’t stand in front of the camera all the time like some TH-camrs.
Yea I dont care for those kind of videos either . So I make videos the same way that I want to see them
That was fascinating. Could not stop watching. You never give up. Love the care you put into it😊😊😊😊p
Very good work
One might start looking around for an overhead crane. My back hurts watching you muscle those tracks. Cheers
All those views and so little LIKES let's give a 👍 to Jesse to boost his channel.🙌
Hard working and determined does not begin to describe you Mr Jesse. Respect!
really enjoyed this video
You definitely aren’t afraid of a bit of hard work! Very patient too, hats off to you man! 👌
You’re breaking my back here. Keep your eyes open for a good heavy rolling gantry/hoist. It will save you when your children are grown.
definitely talk to Clint at C&C Equip. He can tell you the difference between a 450A or B model. And also can help with your final rive and brake parts. He has a great YT channel
Great Video
Id love to see another andrew and jesse collaboration
its coming up later this year, on the castle 2.0
Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your knowledge and skill and willingness to carry through with a job all of your skills including your filming are to be commended.
Love all the work you do, buddy.
You take things apand put them back together. Like nothing you should talk to Clint from C&C equipment. He does a lot of stuff on TH-cam too.
John Deere's. And cats that's all he works on. You should ask him about parts He carries a lot of john deere parts
And I also drilled large holes in that little so it can drain properly too ?I did it on both sides too...
I mean, You work so hard & it shows !! You make me tired just watching you !!! TAKE CARE !!!
Great project Jesse. I agree with all of the comments on your channel! You are my number 1 go to! Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!
My boss told me to have a good day. So I went home.
I like your style man, work life balance is hard.
Overhead crane would be nice...
Your sons are outstanding...you and your Wife are so lucky.
Jesse, I worked for IH in R&D as well as teaching in their service school in the late 1960 early 1970's. You brought back so many memories of back in the day out in all weathers removing and replacing those darn clutches and break pads. Also had a few final drive units go like you have on this machine. The IH had the same system and many of the same parts as JD used, made it more economically sound as if they kept the cost down then they could discount better terms to the customer. Changing over to hydrostatic gears and wet clutches was a dream come true for our service guys.. The best part with your video was at the end and my hands were still clean. Looking forward to your big journey on the metal hunt and where you found them as well as the finished product as I admire the way you always keep the equipment clean as you can whilst working on them and your paint finish is good too. Stay safe keep well and spend down time with the family.
Seeing your boy help out gives me hope for the future.
Really enjoy your long videos. Thanks for spending the time. You are a man of many talents. Can do attitude which is rare these days.
44:52 his suggestion😍 following the most satisfying moment in this video was so perfect. „Ok. Bye😊🏃🏻♂️➡️“ 😂😂
I wouldn't replace the steel lines with hoses.. to tight bends in tight area. You can buy the high presser tubing from steel supplier. I save all steel line that leak. I buy 1/2" 34" an 1" steel tube. I cut the ends off about 2 to 3" back on the bad tube. Clean an bevel the peaces. I bend the tubing in my pipe bender. (Cheap Princess auto) 3ton. Into the shap I need ether for repair or when I am biulding something. I place the new tube an the cut off used end in to a pipe holding jig an tac weld and weld all the way around using torch an 3/32 steel torch rod the ends of old tube are always in like new shap.
Also I never use that 1/8 plastic tubing for oil presser gage or even on ice makers. In past I had that crap brake an loss lot of oil fast. I use copper tubing an the compression fitting or the flair one are best..
Get some old garden hose and put it around the new hoses where they might rub a hole. I did it to my skid steer loader right after I got it.
Hit the flats of the hydraulic nut with an air hammer and it will come right loose. Works every time for me.
was going to say the same.
10hrs of video, yes please, this project is going to us many hours of content thanks Jesse 👍🏻🏴
Love the new shop looks like it could use an overhead host system for lifting
You were two for two on those four hydro lines I think I would have changed all four. All four of them are the same material lying in the same conditions.
Can't say I disagree but one has to draw the line somewhere or it turns into a massive money pit. If they go bad in a year or so they are fairly easy to get at and replace.
Hey, enjoyed your frank and honest summary. The paint John Deer TY25648: Ag and Turf Yellow Paint, 3.78 Liter (1 Gallon) Part Number: TY25648 $103.58
Cheers to you Sir for tackling an endeavor such as this. Anxiously awaiting the next video. Check out Pacific northwest hillbilly. He takes it ALL down to bare metal before he repaints.
It's always been a dream to have some old timer point me toward a barn find and tell me that I can have it if I can get it running.
As you work on a lot of heavy machinery why don't you consider building a gantry crane chain and hand operated this could be easily incorporated into your workshop
I will build a gantry , but I want to take my time and build it right. I want it to lift 10 tons, so its gonna take a bit of time and money to make
Damn J , those tracks are no joke . Talk about DEAD WEIGHT !! A wall-to-wall shop crane is in the future I think huh .
Jesse admit 57 to about 59 in your video the old saying is poverty is the mother of invention I like your helper your bolt holder doesn’t complain if it’s too cold doesn’t complain if it’s too hot doesn’t have to go to the bathroom didn’t call out because he got drunk last night with his friends and isn’t going to show up I was laughing to myself thinking how long is it gonna take you to figure something out you amaze me all the time I love watching your videos I wish I was there to help you you’re a smart man and yourself make sure you passing on to your boys I was glad to see you had your son and safety glasses on when you were driving it!!!!!!! my early 20s I almost lost my left I threw a piece of frag stealing that flew off of splitting maul wedge lucky I still got my EYE ….I continue my career on the railroad for another 30 years my father used to say they wouldn’t hire ME I ONLY HAD ONE EYE when I conductor and that’s what I was take care good luck with things Sam bacon a.k.a. the guy why aren’t working off sawhorses
Absolutely brilliant content as usual Jesse, your effort and commitment are admirable, great help from your eldest son as well. 👋👋 keep it coming 👍👍
Jesse sure puts in the work. Thanks for sharing.
A lot to see in this episode of let's watch Jesse work his tail off but you were working in your new shop, not out in the mud and the elements. That alone was seeing a man enjoying the fruits of his labor. Just being able to use the cherry picker was worth the wait, not to mention being able to pick up items off of the concrete and not the dirt & mud. I had to laugh seeing the four buckets of muck that grew 4X, so thanks for that, and thank you for the video, we know that too is a major effort. I can hardly wait for your next one on this project. Best regards.
We used to sandblast and paint bulldozers, backhoes, scissor lifts, straight booms, cement mixer barrels and chassis, any type of heavy equipment. The prep work ( cleaning, de greasing,taping, protecting glass and cylinders) but the end product was always total satisfaction. Jesse I give you all the credit in the world. I can't wait to see the loader when it's all done. People don't realize how much is involved but this video will give them some insight. No I don't miss it. It's the filthiest anyone can do.
I see what a few more windows would be like in that building. You're older boy is about the right age to start turning a wrench. Prefect age to get started. Thanks for all the great videos what a great way to start a Saturday.
Get yhe tension off the track first
Suggestion - get some discarded rubber tracks, cut in half, then lay out and drive your steel tracks on. Save your concrete floors, maybe? 🤔
Never welded with fluxcore. But until recently I only ever welded stainless with MIG or TIG. Now more like stick on rusty tanks on a industrial construction site polar opposite 😂
LOL. Helper dude didnt want to get his new AND1's dirty. Been there.
The difference between andrew and you is that he speeds up the work and condenses his filming. He gets a lot done in a relative time. Then theres fun and games with his work . Jesse make it interesting.
What would be the difference between dry or wet clutches? I know the answer is obvious, but yeah. Great video, Jesse, and thank you for sharing.
I just love these long videos. especially working on the machinery. I'm a reatierd michnic. I've niver worked on dozers. But I'm loving every minute of it. Good luck putting it all together. I'm looking forward to seeing put back to work. Jessy keep the videos coming.
Absolutely incredible part one Jesse... Thanks mate.❤
Watching Saturday May 5 from Texas. Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to watch you as you dive into a project and listen to your commentary in the process. Thank you for sharing. It is certainly encouraging to follow your thoughts because you never know what you'll encounter nor if it's worth the follow through to complete the repair. Lots of patience and insightful energy. Stay safe, healthy, strong, discerning and successful in Jesus's Name. Hope that you, family and your crew have an exceptional week. Blessings bro. ☝🙏🙌💪👊🤠
My back is killing me watching you bud what a bull
Fyi????what I had to to mine was added a little foam to the bottom of that compartment now and put thick hose and those steel lines also so it wears the rubber not the steel line too...
I once asked in youtube from a professional welder why he uses flux core as it’s for cheap welders. He said because of penetration, he can get more done per day with flux.
You need to get a needle scaler and several forms of ire wheels if you plan to do many clean up jobs...
I remember those 2 deeres coming back in 2020
Oooo this looks like its gonna be a sweet machine! Small enough to be versatile but able to do work!
I wonder if old John Deere engineers sit around watching youtubers work on the stuff they designed, yelling "that's not how you do it, sonny boy!" at the screen :)
WOW unreal the dirt and the carnage big job .I did my I H 500C With engine hoist but only took track and fuel tank off to get at cluches .Great video sir Jesse thank you
Your nice new shop now needs a crane, lol. Thanks for take the time to share this battle with us, especially the fact that you gave up and picked it back up again, we all need a reminder that life is like that at times. You might also get a sponsorship from PB blaster after this video.
Yeah, that would be nice if he could get a demo or trial piece of gear. The Channel has a fairly reasonable number of loyal followers now. I hope something nice and useful turns up for him one day.
He can park his crane behind the JD and do all the lifting he wants.
The algorithm fed me this video. Just watched the whole thing in one sitting. Nice work! New sub here.
Wonder what is the point when you think you paid too much for it.
Good to see your son working with you. Raise em up right!
Fantastic "Can Not Wait For Part 2 " Thanks Jesse
Hi god that’s a lot of dirty work it always amazes me when guys strip machines down & put them back together your a great dad having time for your sons
Regards
Steve U.K. London
Nice !! 👍👍👍
Jesse, just an idea next time, put a couple few layers of the rhino temporary floor covering on the concrete and tape it down while the floor is clean. Just saves all the concrete destruction. Just an idea man, otherwise, great work!
All of them just soak oil in and it looks like shit.
@@tujuprojects just keeping oil soaked dirt off floor, it's worked for me... Your mileage may vary.
1:51:10 I bought a Lincoln 90iFC weld-Pak last week. I couldn't justify buying an argon gas one. I finally got myself a 0.30 flux core spool yesterday. I just want to weld as a hobby, around the house. Practice makes perfect, well, as long I'm not trying stupid things because, I'm not a welder.
I would have to review the video to be able to replace everything and I used to rebuild engines.
I did take photos of all the hose routing before replacing a swing motor on a mini excavator last week.
Oh the irony, pipe holding oil rusts through.
Watching you working on those track pins brought back some memories (PTSD?) of me fighting with my D3 tracks. Good job winning that battle. What size hammer were you using? I learned that a 20 pound sledge really is necessary sometimes. My regular sledges wouldn't budge it, but the 20 pounder really made a difference for me.
Really interesting to see the flux core vs solid wire. I just ordered a roll of flux core. Never used it before, but that's about to change.
I think the hammer I was using was a little less than 20 lbs, but I do have a 20 pounder laying around somewhere. Another thing that makes a big difference is having a shaft/bolt that is big enough diameter/short enough length to have zero flex. That stake I was using at first had too much flex.
Yea I have mainly always used flux core. It wasnt until recently that I started trying to use solid wire again and it works for the thinner stuff and it also makes a pretty weld. But flux core just does the job if you need strength
Great work Jessie, hopefully your persistence pays off and you have a lovely working machine to show off when all is finished.
you are going to install an overhead crane
Hi Jesse. Are you considering to install a overhead hoist in your garage/workshop. If you are going to I would love to watch that video coming up
Incredible video, Jesse
Admire your grit determination & skill to tackle these huge jobs. You can always guarantee that when Paddy's around there is going to be a big degree of infectious humour and teamwork.
I've not seen Caiden in a video since the initial pour of the workshop slab pour. He's growing up quickly, and it won't be long until he's driving equipment around the home and helping his dad out more.
This video has definitely made my damp dark and boring British Saturday evening more enjoyable
Jessy, I just wanna let you know me and my son love that long video I think at the end when you finish with this machine is gonna come out great we really love your shop and is not even done yet 👍👍
Thats good to hear that a few young guys are watching. Usually they dont have the patience
The track frame is sitting on the track pads because the track chain doesn't have any meat left in it for the rollers to ride on, which will give you the height you're looking for.
Needs a full undercarriage unfortunately.
Hi you should put some sort of drainage in gatage
