I had a Jeep Liberty years ago that needed an oil pan. The shop manual called for removing the engine and it was an 18 hour job. My mechanic said he could cut the cross member under the oil pan and weld it back on in about two hours instead of removing the engine. You know what we did, chop chop!!
We used to joke; the service manual said replacing the evaporator in a Mercedes 300SD was a 24hr job... we said we could cut the car in half, change the evap, weld the car back together and repaint in 12.
A little trick for NOT losing C-clips I learned from an older mechanic, is to place strong magnets around where the clip will come off. Most of the time the clip will stick to the magnet instead of shooting off and disappearing. It doesn’t always work but works more often than it doesn’t. It’s worked for me for years and the newer neodymium magnets makes it even more effective. Works with bearing caps with pins as well. Never too early for PDiddy jokes! Been making them for years!
Lack of clickbait titles and sensationalism is my guess. What appeals to the mindless masses is not what appeals to Mustie viewers -- wouldn't have it any other way.
This is the first time I'm commenting on your videos. I've been watching them for quite some time and can actually say I enjoy not only your topics but also your style. I've learned so much from both your mistakes and your achievements. You think out loud and talk your way through an issue and I find this most informative. Keep up the great work and keep 'em coming.
Hi I'm Jason Hagan from Lawrence county, TN. I wanted you to know that you're content is some of the best on TH-cam in my opinion. Please keep it up. Just remember if everyone likes you you're not doing enough.! Thank you
Wonder if the reason the pads on the emergency brake was worn is becuase it was a bugger to get at and remove. A typical design in mechanical items, people with no patients just go buy a new machine and people with the know how bear down and fix them. Love your content never miss an episode.
Diffently impressive your experience and sence of how things work and your approach to fixing all mechanical keeps me coming back,and the laughs are always great too. Thanks from central Ontario
25:00 perfect example of why not to use a press to remove u-joints. I'm not saying I haven't done it or won't ever do it again, but after the first time that happened to me I am reluctant to do so. I've never seen it recorded before and I get the impression that a lot of people don't think it really happens. Thank you for including it!
I would cut the crossmember about 1" away from the frame rail. Then you could weld a tab and drill it to bolt the crossmember back in. If there is a next time repair, you can just unbolt it to get access.
Great idea! My thoughts was close. A patch plate above, the drilled for two bolts & welded. Then welded a few inches from the original cut. RJS USAF 81-85.
Greetings from Austria! I work on a Fortress on a big hill and I drive a Polaris there (albeit a newer Ranger). Great to know how it works and how to fix it.
I was yelling who's your daddy, right with you when you took out that driveshaft! Overcoming obstacles with ingenuity or brute force requires a celebration, lol. You're my Sunday morning wake up show. Mustie and Sunday morning coffee. What a way to start the day. Then on to my own projects. I'm always emboldened to continue my projects after watching you, brother. Peace!
Or put a small dab of epoxy on the center of a dowel and inset into the hole. Wait some time for it to cure and remove the dowel, taking the pin with it.
I absolutely love the frame cut!! There's a John Deere log skidder that has a about a quarter inch input shaft for forwards reverse when the seal goes bad it dumps all 40 gallons of hydraulic overnight. You either have to cut a square chunk out of the frame or pull the entire hydrostatic drive to get the stupid seal off. I wasn't sure how I was going to fix it but I remembered seeing another one with a square hole torched in the frame right in that same location and then realized my solution. The seal was like $4 and I think I used more in gas. I know that's not quite the same but I love it
Ooh, universal joints! That brings back memories. I've done a few. What were they called in the UK? Hardy Spicer I think. No Internet back in those days. I was limited to Haynes workshop manuals and help from friends.
On the parking brakes, certain groups of operators will use it as a service brake. For the final stop before getting off, they will pull the parking brakes instead of using the brake pedal. They will be exiting the vehicle before it stops.
Mustie1, I know that ur Wife will be happy riding the Ranger now. great job getting that drive shaft-off and on with the new parts.. have a couple of beers on me Mate.
Dear Mustie1. 👍👌👏 Very well done, Sir. 2) Glad that you are happy with your purchase after all the maintenance and repairs. Hope that the engine is healthier than it sounds. By the way: 3) For my personal kind of taste this vehicle is way too rattely/squeaky inside and therefore annoying. But I guess with added doors and some more maintenance/repairs it will at least be a bit quieter. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
You do such intricate work , & great knowledge! That job of getting the drive shaft out & unjoint & back together in the small opening reminds me of the old board game as a kid “Operation “ 😂 Enjoying the Fun , Entertainment & your work as usual! 💪
That was a great video, thanks ! Someone , somewhere has the doors for that, someone that didn't fix their pressure regulator ! Great start to my Sunday !
Nice repair and video! I can certainly relate to it being easier to acquire projects than finding/making parts to finish them off! Having 3 or 4 things on the bench at a time is the bane of my hobby existence.
Mustie that emergency brake system is crazy. I've got a John Deere xuv 560 and the set up with the little ball bearings that it pivots on is exactly the same. I just think it's funny that they have disc brakes on each wheel but yet the emergency brake is in the drive shaft on mine. Mine you can't replace the pads either. You must replace the whole assembly and it's over 200 dollars. Needless to say I've got a block of wood in the bed I throw under my tire for a parking brake.
Mustie (Darren) is just the best content creator or content provider or however the platform designates him on TH-cam!! I’m amazed at his talent, ability and dedication to his channel. He’s awesome!!
Great videos. I look forward to these on Sundays. May be wrong, but I press the joints in with the vise. Takes the "shock" away that may dislodge the needles.
I rented a new Ryder truck for a cross country trip. The parking brake did not work. For two days, I had to chock the tires when I parked it, even with the parking brake on. On day three of the trip, I accidentally left the brake on for a couple of hours on the road. It worked perfectly after that.
There are three differentials modes. Bottom is 1 wheel drive turf mode with an open diff, middle is 2wd locked rear diff and top is AWD which engages front diff on demand. Be careful with turf mode. Some older model owners swear it damages the transfer system. And also, I've heard they recommend to make absolutely sure you don't shift into or out of turf mode while driving. We have a 21 Ranger 1000 Crew Premium, and I've been overly cautious with turf mode just in case. But between 2wd and AWD I just make sure the rear wheels aren't slipping before popping into AWD. I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you keep it. We absolutely love ours!
I actually was yelling at you. LOL Washer!!!!! And yesterday I used a "Mustie" trick to remove a lock, two box wrenches together to "pry" it off. It was just a cheap lock on a suitcase, but because I had seen you do it, I tried it successfully. No cutting or anything. It's worth the hour on Sunday to see you work. Do stay healthy this winter, I have 4 months of "not a lot to do" before next year's sailing season. And as I have a few maintenance and replacement items to do, need all the tips on how tools can serve me better.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: other TH-camrs would do well to watch Mustie1 videos and learn the fine art of making videos that people want to watch! There's a lot more to it than just showing folks how to do repairs!
What surprised me was when I watched a restoration channel. The guy never says a word. He puts a little bit of text, but it’s just short explanation. He has a couple million subscribers and way fewer videos.
Ya need a little fluid film under there. Wonderful video. Several years ago I had a Kawasaki Mule, when the starter went bad the dealer told me a new one was nearly $600. I wouldnt pay that so as I was leaving one of the young service guys stopped me and clued me in to a sight that sold the, for about $100. Seems it's the same starter used on many different engines.
Excellent Video Mustie 1 :) also not did with Side By Side ATV vechiles only my oldest half brother one it 2020 model Polaris 1000 gas one that need minor work on !
We had a 500 4x4 Polaris Ranger on a long-term job site for about 12 years. We drove the snot out of it year-round. We went through a few drive belts, a fuel pump, computer and one set of CVT pulleys over the years. The nail in the coffin was when the connection between the air box and the engine intake came apart and it sucked in a bunch of dust for a couple or few weeks. The engine oil looked like mud after that and it just plain quit running. One rebuilt engine later and it was back to work.
If I may suggest get the heater working and you can make some doors that will fit nicely easy enough then you can use it for all seasons nice job on fixing it ty for letting me share Matt AKA DDP be safe out there My friend and brother and friends and everybody yuuuuup
You know you've been watching Mustie1 channel a long time when in your mind you say "get a punch pin to align the holes then a socket and extension to set the pin" and he does it.
I've learned from my mistakes that when pressing apart UJs i insert half a piece of tube (C shaped) inside the UJ to stop it bending as I press the bearing shells out.
my thought on welding the cross member was cut it completely off and weld tabs to the frame and bolt it back on to them! love my big vice i take out most u-joints with it like a press AND you can recatch on the extended cap and twist and it will come out pretty easily pressing back in is even better. put the bolts back in the other direction for the Next time???? Going to have to widen your trails, Have FUN
Seems the tip over and parking saved it from that sticking oil pin. That glove was a great idea! Shout out to the guy who figured out the issue and came up with the ball bearing trick.
Are you gonna do? Will it run on the boat? That one ha ha ha joking aside your four wheeler Looks great, a good job it sounds nice. Thanks for a lovely video.👍👍👍
Hey Mustie, im sure with your skill set you could make your own doors for it? It would make an awsome fabrication vid for us all! O from 🏴Harlow.
you sure have good hearing, how you know I was yelling at ya! all the way from Boston, also the socket pin install, I thought of it before you did it, grate minds think alike
A guy I worked with years ago used your cut and weld crossmember trick to change the timing gears on an Opel Rekord P1. The engine would have had to be removed to allow access, but he said no way, let's fire up the torch. I can't say I blame either of you guys!
The mode selector switch is bottom-turf mode(one wheel peel) center-rear lock and top-4x4 at least on mine. I also have had to replace the front drive shaft and without a lift it turns into a long project having to loosen the front differential and the front right cv shaft. Lots easier removing the cross strut. Thanks for the content long time subscriber.
This is like spending time with my dad, just without the screaming and yelling.
Don't forget the name calling
Sadly, I am that Dad, I know!
Well if you held the light in the right place he wouldn't yell 😂😂 Yeah I'm a dad too

That glove trick is the most ingenious thing I've seen on this channel... and we've all seen some ingenious things! 😂👏👏👏👏👏
Just what I was thinking!!
Good morning from Ecuador
I agree🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It would have been a bit of a surprise if the ball mod already was done to the engine. But a nice surprise then.
I had to call my buddy about that trick so many situations that can be used.
I had a Jeep Liberty years ago that needed an oil pan. The shop manual called for removing the engine and it was an 18 hour job. My mechanic said he could cut the cross member under the oil pan and weld it back on in about two hours instead of removing the engine. You know what we did, chop chop!!
We used to joke; the service manual said replacing the evaporator in a Mercedes 300SD was a 24hr job... we said we could cut the car in half, change the evap, weld the car back together and repaint in 12.
A little trick for NOT losing C-clips I learned from an older mechanic, is to place strong magnets around where the clip will come off. Most of the time the clip will stick to the magnet instead of shooting off and disappearing. It doesn’t always work but works more often than it doesn’t. It’s worked for me for years and the newer neodymium magnets makes it even more effective. Works with bearing caps with pins as well.
Never too early for PDiddy jokes! Been making them for years!
I would have thought the new UJ would come with new clips?
Holding a plastic bag over the top of the area will catch them too... If there's room to get one over and still work in the space.
@@Phiyedough Looks like it did. The ones he installed looked brand new.
I don't understand why Mustie doesn't have over 1M subscribers. His videos are great fun to watch.
Lack of clickbait titles and sensationalism is my guess. What appeals to the mindless masses is not what appeals to Mustie viewers -- wouldn't have it any other way.
Spread the word! We need Mustie1 bumper stickers because your car or truck is a natural (moving) billboard.
@@Hjerte_Verke Plus the attention span of a gnat.
People don't want to watch him clean a carburetor for the 489th time.
Neither do I
I think if it were mine I would install an oil pressure gauge, being it's a known problem with these critters. Nice work Mustie

Never get tired of your wrenching.
I was stumped at how you would get that pin out and then mustie comes out with a glove! Genius! I never would have thought and that’s why I watch.
My idea was to drain the oil and Hoover it out.
@@petemommo9622 I'd flip the machine upside down and shake it. That's why I take my things to a professional to fix... xD

Well Darin, I'm glad you let Mrs. Mustie play with your toys!🤣🤣🤣
That's where the P-diddy joke came from.

And balls! Can't forget balls😂
Beats Hollywood crap 💩
you forgot balls
Sunday with Mustie. Makes you glad to be Alive. 🔧👍🇬🇧
Nicest thing about watching others get after it is it inspires me to get after it.
The glove trick was brilliant. The other option is total disassembly of that part of the engine in order to push the rod out with an allen wrench.
Or put a small dab of epoxy on the center of a dowel and inset into the hole. Wait some time for it to cure and remove the dowel, taking the pin with it.
Good Mornin' all from Halifax, Nova Scotia
Good morning from Washington state.
I had a 2010 800 XP ranger. I prevented any more emgine problems by trading it for a Honda pioneer. That ranger was nothing but problems. Good video.

Loved all the creative problem solving on this episode! Nice work Darren!
Loved where you cut some sub frame away for easier access, we've all been there but you actually did it lol.
I’d love to take a ride down that trail to the lake house and have a few cold beers!
Yo Sir! Lovely thinking and magnificent ambidextrous. You are quite the genius "shade tree" mechanic! Those of Your ilk built the USA!! CHEERS jimmy

You know you've been watching Mustie1 channel a long time when in your mind you say "get a punch pin to align the holes then a socket and extension to set the pin" and he does it.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks. Maybe try your hand at making doors for it. Frame and tent tarp. Would be cool. ???
More insightful instruction. Now I know more about side by sides. Although they are pricey.
Great machine! Great price too! I thought you might cut both sides of the support and make it bolt on!
I've learned from my mistakes that when pressing apart UJs i insert half a piece of tube (C shaped) inside the UJ to stop it bending as I press the bearing shells out.
my thought on welding the cross member was cut it completely off and weld tabs to the frame and bolt it back on to them! love my big vice i take out most u-joints with it like a press AND you can recatch on the extended cap and twist and it will come out pretty easily pressing back in is even better. put the bolts back in the other direction for the Next time???? Going to have to widen your trails, Have FUN
Nobody is more Helpful than Musty1 - thanks man@! That was great.
Seems the tip over and parking saved it from that sticking oil pin. That glove was a great idea! Shout out to the guy who figured out the issue and came up with the ball bearing trick.
Are you gonna do? Will it run on the boat? That one ha ha ha joking aside your four wheeler
Looks great, a good job it sounds nice. Thanks for a lovely video.👍👍👍
Hey Mustie, im sure with your skill set you could make your own doors for it? It would make an awsome fabrication vid for us all! O from 🏴Harlow.
you sure have good hearing, how you know I was yelling at ya! all the way from Boston, also the socket pin install, I thought of it before you did it, grate minds think alike
Very good. But it needs a bigger revolving dome light with “mustie” embosssed on it.
You should try making some doors for that UTV. I think that would be fun to watch. You say you want to try more bodywork after all.
You could try some brass brake lube just lightly on the pins
Emergency brake/ Parking brake are one and the same in my book. I have used the "parking brake" in emergencies when the regular brakes failed.
A guy I worked with years ago used your cut and weld crossmember trick to change the timing gears on an Opel Rekord P1. The engine would have had to be removed to allow access, but he said no way, let's fire up the torch.
I can't say I blame either of you guys!
The mode selector switch is bottom-turf mode(one wheel peel) center-rear lock and top-4x4 at least on mine. I also have had to replace the front drive shaft and without a lift it turns into a long project having to loosen the front differential and the front right cv shaft. Lots easier removing the cross strut. Thanks for the content long time subscriber.
Mustie, know the flaws and fix them! Cool video + nice machine after the debugging! Thanks!
