Just a tip for MBTS, spin the pail around so the pour spout is at the top! Pours smooth with no glug-glug-glug because it can breath. It’s much better for a lot of reasons actually, give it a try!
Glad I read your comment,I was just going to say the same thing.
or just poke an air hole in the lid so air can go in as oil comes out. When you don't use the entire can of oil, put a screw in the air hole to keep dust out.
Get Aaron and Jerry a suspension seat. Then they will love to operate the D4

Sorry
5:08 thanks mbts, my wife is now wondering what I’m giggling at….
Hoover rules
When MBTS was calling you a 3-year-old, having a temper tantrum, I busted out laughing. Love watching you too work together. When parts are not quite right and you make things work. I see Officer Don had to keep you 2 in line. Thanks for the video
Here's a shop trick Mike for Arons sack. Use the crane to pick up and hold the 5 gal oil bucket by the handle. Than all you have to do is tilt the bucket. Working smarter not harder buds. 👍👍
Did you check the coolant? What about the air in the tires? 😆
I'm surprised you are able to get stuff done, it's a good thing you can work while laughing! Nice service on the D4 and that seat cushion looked awesome. Nicely done. And nice to see you two stop by Matt's place.
Hi DP and Aaron. I love the interpretation of the seat tantrum!Great job with the wiring! Great vid guys, loved seeing Aarons arm shakin with the oil fill! Jerry..UK
Great to see Officer Hoover it the workshop.Apart from having fun and enjoying your company, he is seeing first hand the care and maintenance levels you try and achieve. And the way he was getting stuck in there, he 's good value. Many thanks for another enjoyable video
That black piece is for the seat slide and in the center of it is an Allan screw that is used to tighten up the slide. On the final drive level and fill plug the best way to loosen them up is hit them with hammer and punch that will loosen up the O-ring seal and they come loose easy.
Mike, you guys are frikin hilarious! I laughed so much my stomach hurt!! Please don't EVER change! Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure buddy!!!!
DP having a toddler tantrum in the seat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless 😂😂😂😂
Pleased Officer Hoover was there to witness the tantrum, and give some two handed strength to remove the electrical connector for you 💪💪
D4 now ready to go back to site, how long will the seat cover stay clean ????? 🤔
It’s good to see Mike has Aaron multi-tasking….lol. Mike needs to pull a fast one by putting a C-clamp on the rail of the seat so the travel is clamped down from moving…..Record Arron trying to move the seat forward in the field….lol😂😂😂. This piece of equipment is ready for the next job.. Great video Mike.
I keep thinking about "upgrading" the old ranch dozer, until I realize that the starter, lights, and the guages on the dash are the only electric things on it, and the only plastic parts are the knobs on the handles. Thanks for talking me out of that idea.
Took so long to rewire the joystick , Mike got replaced by a stunt double in different clothes 😮
Enjoyed the content, good laughs DP and MBTS.
Great video, little bit of maintenance will go long way!
MBTS must have had some free time because your shop is looking great! 😀😀😀😀😀
Probably a tad late this time but next time you come across stuck roll pins bear in mind they are spring steel heat treated to around 800 Vickers, which is bluddy hard and will total most work shop drills (and bugger up the surrounding shaft hole it's embedded in due to overheating during a failed attempt at drilling it out)
Try a "Stellite" drill bit at very high speed it can burn it's way through pretty well anything you will come across and leave less devistation in it's wake than a thermal lance😋🤣😛😂
I don't know which is the best piece of equipment that you have. The ruckus rake, or MBTS. They both make the job look great and are a bonus on any job. I love to watch both in action. But MBTS can talk, and that's a plus.
Keep them both please!😂
The rake makes less noise tho .
Great teamwork, and I’m glad you put Gunner in there to check behind you guys! 😉🙋♀️💖🇨🇱
I put one of those suspension seats from attwoods on my case dozer. No adjustment rails. Just had to bolt it down where I like it. But better than 1000 dollar for a new seat from case because the frame of the old seat was so metal fatigued.. you would be surprised how comfortable a 89.00 tractor suspension seat is on a dozer. It's been on there 3 years and about 400 hours. Does well on slopes to. The wrap around design holds ya in the seat. On another note. I really hope you keep the D4 Mike. The case 550 will never be able to replace a dozer. Just doesn't have the visibility or agility. Air conditioning is nice but not nice enough to replacing the D4 the longer undercarriage on the dozer is much easier to finish grade with.
OFC Hoover has too nice of a shirt to be wearing in the shop
That's funny Aaron was blowing out that air filter and the dog was tucked up underneath the side-by-side just laying there getting dirty LMAO
D-4 is a pretty nice utility dozer and for as many hours it has on it it sure runs and sounds pretty nice. Nice maintenance video gentlemen, thanks for the tag along video.
do yourself the favor and turn that bucket with the spout up when the bucket is full to pour saves a lot of mess.
Now that you have three guys in the shop, do you have any light bulbs that need changing? 😇🤠🇨🇦
Considerate od you to have the shop attached so its more convenient for Jenn to call emergency services when needed!
Suggestion for next time…..using a small pick you can dissemble the connector on end of cable allowing cable to be removed with no soldering involved. Just make sure you take a picture of what wire goes where…😉
Yes…that’s the way to do it…take a picture is right or your…!
It was not in very good shape
think you'll find it easier if you pour from the container with the spout at the top not the bottom.
Isn't it possible to duct-tape wood blocks on the pedal so that shorter people you have working for you can reach them 😁
Not with the price of lumber these days .
Andrew camarata said in his video he put out last night that he was going to the utility expo n Kentucky that’s awesome
Yup
and he's givin' away 300 shirts!
From the job to your shop! You’re not missing anything! 😊
Watching you and Aaron working these last few weeks has been a lot of fun. You guys work together very well and are really entertaining to boot.
Although, when you’re talking to him over the radio it’s like listening to Boomhauer from King of the Hill try to tell you something over the phone.
Don’t get me wrong, I love that show. I just don’t get what he’s trying to tell you, but I figure it out.
Shop time with Mike and Aaron and Hoover ,we are guaranteed a fun time lots of laughs trying to figure how to remove the D4 seat ,The More you know ,Would you look at that !!!.What you need is another pair of hands in there working ,The back and forth banter is worth the price of admission ,good times you guys ,whose buying lunch
There was more dirt in the air filter than was under the seat 😂
From years of making a mess, if you spin that bucket 180° where the spout is at the top, it doesn’t chug on you 😉
Clint just posted a beautiful low hour D4G with cab ;)
Shhhhhh! 🤣
I thought Aaron was going to lose it when you told him what you were going to do to the air filter but he kept it together 😅
MBTS did you know that everyone is born Right handed but We are privileged to overcome the difficulties of the masses !
Hey there guys, entertaining as ever......when pouring out of any size drum, turn it around so the spout pours from the top of the drum, eliminates that spurting and splashing as the air can escape easier.
Air has to enter the bucket to replace the oil that is being poured out.
I’d say the dozer needed that service,always gotta take care of equipment.great video as always.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
OMG!!! MBTS calling you a 3y.o.o having a "temper tantrum" trying to move that seat had me busting my gut laughing DP!!! Officer Hoover supervision duties were put to his limit with you two. You guys are great together. Appreciate you taking the time to video & edit all the work y'all do. How many LBS of dirt & debris did MBTS remove from under the seat & how many empty Pepsi cans were actually recovered that weren't shown on video??? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
A pic of the seat cover (Officer Hoover style) would get BIG 😂
@ 41:00 minute mark, if you hold the bucket so the spout is at the top, instead of the bottom, it won't glug and it''s easier to pour without spilling it down the side. It used to be printed on the lid, for people to see the easier way to empty a bucket. th-cam.com/video/sSjsat31Af0/w-d-xo.html
DP best way ive found to blow filters out is i made an adapter for my leaf blower to push in the inlet and use the leaf blower with if sitting on the ground, pull trigger tap it here and there its clean in no time lol
Nicely done guys plus a help hand from Officers Hoover and Gunner.
Don't forget about the mini excavator it's arm is hurting especially around the wrist area
Watch excavator jack pot video
Hi Mike, MBTS, doesn't matter what job you do, with a bit of humour and good assistance you can accomplish just about any task. As well as entertaining us subscribers. Again , thanks for sharing and all the entertainment as well.
Take care you guys, catch you on the next one
MARK over in the uk 👍
I laugh the entire time y’all work in the shop😂😂😂. Need a shop day video about every 2 weeks. Really enjoying your channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Could have saved a bunch of time by swapping the connectors on the joystick wires. Deutsch connectors if you're interested in how they work.
If you think picking up a socket set after someone dumped them is bad, wait till someone opens the O-ring set up side down. Dad did that to me, it took a few hours of comparison to get them relatively close. The box now has in bold letters TOP on the top and BOTTOM on the bottom. Even though the top and bottom do not look anything similar
I enjoy all shop jobs because of the banter between you and MBTS. It makes me laugh over and over. D4G looks like you can put 800 hours on it still. Good to see Gunner working with you. What a mechanic you are DP I just watch the Volvo 140 injector video then the handle on the D4 the engine work the the Mack amazing.
DP and Arron, when you poor oil out of a container, be it a 5 gallon bucket or quart, turn the container so that the spout is toward you and you have to tilt the container way over before it pours. I promise, most of the time it will work better. less spillage and smooth flow with no glug gouging. Try it.
Oil filters that are used in aircraft "must be safety wired". The oil filter manufacturer builds safety wire attachment points on their oil filters. I have always hand tightened all my oil filters. I never use a tool to tighten oil filters...just hand tight. I always use a permanent marker for change date and milage. Blue Sky's.
Howdy Mr. Dirt, Great job on the D-4! The most important thing you fixed was the seat cushion! You should get a weather-proof elastic cover for the seat to help it last a little longer! Great video! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim
ou guys did a good job, but why not use a transfer pump for oils? save your back
As a heavy Diesel mechanic the rule of thumb if the inner air filter has any dirt on it ,the outer has failed and you replace both
"How many grown men does it take to get a joystick off?".......>.>😏 keep it PG... keep it PG
Cleaning the air filter probably will a 20 hp!😂
In his defense every one of those tool boxes in my possession are marked "TOP" and "NO DUMBASS"
Nice surgery on the wire harness. Now you just need to give Aaron some sandpaper and paint. Just don't let him pick the color shade. Lol
Ohhhhhhh what Mike said @37:40........and Aaron just let it slide without a snarky comeback 😮
Good morning sunshine! Oh boy China strikes again! DP saying he gotta do surgery makes me laugh! Lol! Much love from Henderson Ga
Ya MBTS it hurts.🤣🤣🤣
P.s. if you put the spout around the other side, you can get closer to the filter.
Good job!!
Aaron, put the handle on the other side and then use your weight to break them loose. Smarter not harder, you are already forced to work harder. LOL!!
I've never seen two guy's more happy about a new seat, 👍
Have you ever seen politicians winning? ;-)
how about that new stick, he aint right lol
If you spin the bucket 180 it's easier to pour the oil
And also Aaron why didn't you blow the air filter out inside Mike's house lol
Officer Hoover looks like he's been dropping weight. Good on him!
another project under budget.....!
That seat will be cooler in the hot sun that’s for sure.
Good to see that Gunner is wearing workshop croc like his dad.
You make it look so easy I would have to go buy another one and that one wouldn’t work right
You're funny thinking the original joystick was made anywhere other than China.
Nice going guys
That desperate help from Aaron on the final drive bolt was hilarious.
You just caused all electrstions and electronics technicians to cringe and slap there foreheads, seeing you use tin snips to cut those wires.
Aviation shears. Anyone notice if he used left, right or straight ones???
At least all the filters are easy to reach and replace on the D4. You know how some brands like to squirrel them away so you need an engineering degree to change them. Good job bringing the old D4 finish dozer back on line Mike.
Shop videos are the best! Thanks guys
Thanks
Teaching your son right sir 👍
Those extra wires are for the ejection seat option which is the only reliable way to get Jerry off a dozer .
I figured the ejection seat is for when Jerry has to kick mbts out to finish the job.
Could go either way
Good teamwork! Glad to see little man in there! Thanks for sharing! !! 👌👍
MBTS has dozer operator skills in his blood in time he'll get better
If you are going to work Hoover that hard the least you could do is furnish coffee and donuts!
Roll pins are hard to drill because they are made of 1070 carbon spring steel hardened to rockwell 45-50, and they are tempered .
Mike, I have used Krylon Fusion black spray paint (available at Walmart) on leather. As an alternative, if the seat fabric is actual leather, you could get black leather dye from a store such as Hobby Lobby.
All the cobbleing in this episode made me think of a new mame for a second channel: LIFE BELOW THE DIRT PAN...
I can see Aaron close the socket set to see witch side says top n bottom n they all fall out again lol
good evening from down under DP Gunner and Aaron there is never a dull moment with Aaron he makes my day thanks guys for another top video
woody is dirt perfect and buzz is man behind. lol
💡 unless the bolt isn't 🔥 hot to the touch. It wasn't stuck ! Ouch 😊
You all had me laughing pretty good as you somehow managed to do the service on the dozer.
I figured out the problem with the new joy stick. It was made to CAT standard for the Chinese unauthorized copy D-4 made by slave labor. You should have read the extra fine print on the package written in Chinese!
Turn the bucket of oil the other way up. Then it pours without glugging & you can hold it lower with just the spout over the lip of the funnel.🙃
I started laughing my butt off when you said 5 gal. bucket, I actually had to do that back in the early 80's because the owner was to cheap to replace the seat, I really didn't relish the thought of hugging the exhaust stack. I quit the next day when he refused to do the repairs as it was a bit to dangerous for me. Nice job Arron on the repairs 👍😂
Glad to see Occifer Hoover helping out - glad he's a friend. the garbage you gotta go thru to change a joystick . . . .
Made wrong in Hong Kong strikes again. You are a resourseful and patient man, while the MBTS provides comic relief. Good job
Don't worry about the seat bottom not matching. One or two jobs and it will be much closer to the seat back. Nice job on the joy stick. Thanks for sharing.
You better get Jerry's dozer all taken care of....
MBTS only has 1 long finger..... LMAO...
I do believe I need counseling, here I am at work at break watching you 2 work 😵💫
Great job you guys and I’ll see you on the next one.
Unless counseling works 🤣
Thanks
From temper tantrums to joysticks yeah that sounds about right, great video guys. Safe travels. Ken.
