Add another lift strap through the forward cylinder eye mount back to the lift hook and then a guy wont have to change his shorts watching that strap slip, whew! Good job guys!
hands down the best youtube channel out there! You and Aaron do some pretty phenomenal work and i love watching and learning from you both. looking forward to future 120 rebuild videos.
Hey Mike. Good job. I have done that same job many times and none of the pins came out that easy. Thank God for good grease jobs. Thanks for the video.
I don't know what you boys got going on here but I like it! Seems like the sound of money your saving by doing it your selves. I enjoy the pins, tools and bearings falling all over the floor while your removing the yellow iron in your shop. Looking forward to the next video!
Time to get a line bore kit..you going to have a few to do by the time your done...after some one came out to our shop 30 yrs ago a did 10 holes I bought one an did a hundred holes or more Spence for me an other ppl. Well worth the cost...cheers
Love to watch your videos on a free sundaymorning with a cup of coffee, aspecially these kind of maintainance video’s and offcourse with themanbehindthescenes 💪🏻. Keep them coming, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I wish I lived closer as would have enjoyed working on this project did this type of work during my working life being a Fitter/Turner Machinist by trade, job done well so far Mike and Aaron.
Thanks for the steam clean! My OCD is doing much better. I can sit back and watch without hollering, "Clean that S.O.B.!" Nice to work inside isn't it?
Wow !!! So that's what grease does. Those pins poped right out !! Good job getting the boom and stick off. Looks like you guys know what your doing. Be safe bud.
Next time when pulling the main boom leave pin for top of boom cylinders in and strap it from there both sides works out a lot better. Good video, nice to see a guy doing his own work!
I saw that oil spill coming from 600 miles away... just as soon as the boom dropped off the blocks I told myself... “Wait for it... Wait for it... BAM!” You didn’t disappoint! Since that’s the only damage so far... good job. I’m sitting here with a worm in my tongue (with baited breath) for the next stage.
Good to see the 120 getting some love. I like the old deere machines. Not to say your Volvo is not nice and probably stronger and faster but the older machines just seemed to keep going and going with minimal stupid little problems where the new stuff always seem to have more numerous big problems once they get some hours on them. May be different for others but that's been my experience. Keep up the good videos!
i bet the boring bar works, but probably going to have to keep the feed rate and depth of cut slow and shallow. chatter and deflection going to keep the cutter dull. and I found through my own dealings that High Speed Steel cutters are a LOT more forgiving than carbide, especially with the interrupted cut.But I know you done got that figured out, so I'll sit back and watch with great anticipation! stay safe!!!!!!
Thanks Mike always love the shop time because that was always my happy place 😀 , I see a couple pins and bushings to be replaced 😕and Aaron did an awesome job welding the coupler.hope that works out as planned 👍👍🤜🤛 I have to admit THe Hyundai HX145LCR has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the scoop on this acquisition/demo??? Anyway thanks for sharing this 👍Hope you and Aaron have a great one 😀🇨🇦 Craig

Hi Mr dirt perfect. Great video as always. I just watched logger wade it was great and funny. Yes put your hat back on you scared all the mice away from the shop thanks again
Well done guys, really like the setup you've got and the overhead crane is a godsend. Love watching your vlogs hope the line boring goes well thought you would have used a mag mount drill and gone from side to side can't wait for next video. Good luck guys
That spot be a good spot to put me dad's dozer to if it will fit an just work on it as time and money allowed. Just an idea. Thank you for all you do. Hope everything is going well for you and your family.
Good to see this part of the 120 fix. Surprised that you didn't slide the main boom cylinders under the machine when you took them off so they were out of the way while working on the main boom.
Tip: when using strap around a sharp 90 bend like when you were lifting the main boom off use a half cut piece of pipe to round the corners(just duct tape them on. Im surprised u didn't cut that strap.
OHHH BOYYYY This Means No More Floppy Bucket>>> And Man She Was Greased Well haven't seen pins come out that easy in a long time ....Much respect Mike Great Operator + Great Owner Youngsters could learn a Thing or two Watching you ... sometimes what to do and sometimes what not to do (hey we're Human) oh yeah you're Dirt Perfect :) what am I Saying j/k Mike God Bless
Pastor George... should we arrange a Memorial Service for the old Floppy Bucket? It seems like it’s been such a staple in the life of Dirt Perfect... I just hate to see it’s passing without some sort of tribute.

I cant wait to have a shop and a bridge crane to make my life easier. Power washing equipment has to be one of my most hated things to do. Think i have 8 or 10 hours into washing the Lima and still didn't get everything.
I know one thing with the boom and stick off them they are almost impossible to load they will tip back and set on the counter weight when going up on the trailer lol had it happen on a lod 690B one time.....I love your shop crane 16 years ago we built our shop new and concreted a 12in heavy wall pipe In for a jib crane but still haven't built it lol to many other projects going on I guess lol
Mike that's a bold idea to bore the weld . How are you going to turn the bar? You effectively have what looks like a 2" bore, and you are not going to turn that with anything short of a big mains powered drill with low ratio, and a long torque handle which is preferably stopped by something solid attached to the machine. i.e. not held by hand. You'll need to take tiny cuts, and you'll do way better using proper cutting lube like RTD. How hard are the rods Aaron used? I'm thinking you'll need to use HSS lathe tool because a carbide tool is not going to like the impacts. I am not totally sure about that. Hopefully the rods were soft and didn't harden and Aaron avoided nasty pockets of glass hard slag which will drive you mad needing to resharpen the tool every five minutes. Is the dimension between hole centres crucial? I imagine it has to match the quick release lugs on the attachments pretty closely.
Impressed by how easy the pins came out. How many hours does the machine have on it? Exceptional job of welding the quick coupler ( lots of boring welding, tedious). I'd suggest getting a longer stick to hold the camera, I could notice a few gray hairs when your cap came off. I'd suggest 6-8 feet. Lol. Just being a jerk.
I've done this on my backhoe a couple of times. I enjoyed watching this. How many hours are on that machine? I'm curious because I've got over 8,000 on my 315 (slightly bigger than your 120) and the only thing that seems loose (bearing/bushing wide) is the thumb. You're couple looks like a wedge lock pin grabber. I'm surprised to see any wear on it as the wedge should keep tension and prevent such wear. Not sure if there is much difference between Cat coupler and yours (what looks like PSM) but I've even run a hammer on mine and she's still tight! I also try to perform as much in house repairs as I can (has saved me a lot of money over the years) so I enjoy watching you do yours as well (particularly this one). Any thoughts on tightening up the house bearing/ring and pinion?
@@DirtPerfect These machines are workhorses. Made by Hitachi except for the engine, paint, and decals. Mine is a 98' model and has 6k + hours on it. I guess it will be good for another 6k if yours has 12 on it. I like the speed and balance of the 120. Starts right up every time too.
Every time you rib Aaron, he has a comeback!😁 BUT, he did miss a perfect set-up @20:51 should have used the classic Millennial Farmer line "That's what she said" 😜😎😃 You two make a great work/comedy team. Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting

Not everyone can be a owner operator an have a feeling he might a been there a while as he just jumps in an helps.Was they to shave two thirds the cost off one of those machines then more people would have one to do driveways and what not. Not so sure why clear down unless maintenance and other related stuff. Those can be so miserable to put together that you swear if it goes that you will never do it again as those shims and spacers are horrible. I have seen the heal bushings go bad but never on one in that good a shape. Each one of those pins are a company paycheck worth for cost. I hate to see one that has a bushing gone and not get fixed as the cost of new boom would be replacement price for the whole thing guessing
Great shop video. Working on equipment vids are my favorite
Glad you guys have a good time working together, a great blessing!
Yup got to have fun 😁
Thanks for sharing Shop Time Mike.
Thanks for watching
I like watching you and man behind the scenes work on equipment y'all have a good time that's what it's all about..
Good effort guys and you got a good sense of humour to ,a job well planed

Seems like a great working team...Well done fellas...
Howdy Mr. Dirt, Great video! Your oil spill was pretty funny! Thank god for kitty litter! Thumbs up! Jim
Thanks
Glad to see you're fixing the 120. 👍
Under statement on sketchy ! I was on edge of my chair. Good video .
😬😁
gees, only for ones that have not done it a 100 times
Looking forward to this line borer !
Lol me to 😬
I was waiting for that strap to slide and when it did, I jumped out of the way from here. Glad it worked out well.
Me to
That sharp edge on the bottom of the boom could have cut the strap especially when it began to slide. Close call here.
Add another lift strap through the forward cylinder eye mount back to the lift hook and then a guy wont have to change his shorts watching that strap slip, whew! Good job guys!
Lol 👍
na all good

Thanks buddy appreciate the kind words and glade you enjoy the channel
Good start! Here's to everything getting fixed with NO leftover pieces. Like the homemade lathe idea. Cheers guys! Stay safe.
Lol thanks Keith
Getting it back together is not going to be the problem. It's working out the new control configuration with all the hoses arse about face.
Good job guy's , now it's all pieces
Lol hope that’s not the easy part 😬😁
I admire your confidence in tackling such a job.

Grease is a wonderful thing. Especially when used regularly.

not if you use cheap crap

Another really cool video Mike, you and Aaron work so well together and your channel is quickly becoming my favorite! Can’t wait for the rebuild.
Thanks Matt
I don't know what you boys got going on here but I like it! Seems like the sound of money your saving by doing it your selves. I enjoy the pins, tools and bearings falling all over the floor while your removing the yellow iron in your shop. Looking forward to the next video!

Great work. Maybe invest in some tidy cat litter for oil clean ups
Nice work guys, I was nervous about the single strap, stay safe
Thanks mike
Great video Mike 👍 y'all have a great day and stay safe 👍

Good video again I like when y’all to get together and work y’all do good work together good mechanics and smart be safe

Time to get a line bore kit..you going to have a few to do by the time your done...after some one came out to our shop 30 yrs ago a did 10 holes I bought one an did a hundred holes or more Spence for me an other ppl. Well worth the cost...cheers

Looks like a full re bush & tighten the 120 up . We drink the same coffee , those Folgers cans sure come in handy for parts storage . Looking Good !
Yes they do
Next time when pulling the main boom leave pin for top of boom cylinders in and strap it from there both sides works out a lot better. Good video, nice to see a guy doing his own work!
