- My skid steer is leaking oil. That's what she does. So I tear into it and figure out what the problems are and fix them up. At least that's the plan...

Not to toot my horn but.. tank comes out when you remove The handbrake bracket.
And a small strap tweaking The H-hose.
❤
Watch it with them new toys for every new toy you get she gets 5 to 10 pairs of new shoes! Then you be making a shoe closet!
Great video John, lovin that 90deg ratchet👏🏻👍🏻🇮🇪
With the brake situation couldn’t it have been installed wrong way around?? You know that they turned the complete bar around?
Your videos have become therapy for me now. Gone through a separation and had to sell all my tools, gear, toys. Can't do much in an apartment, but at least I can still watch you work away with yours. Many thanks.
It is insane how much effort you put in these videos, besides work itself, camera work with multiple angles is top notch and editing like this 1,5hour video with voice overs must take forever. And big inspiration to anybody to work with things even if they don't excatly know what they are doing.
❤ this is way better than tv kids could watch and learn and parents
Absolutely! I really wonder how many hours he invests in editing one of those videos. Probably two days.
”Farmer Jon's Home for Neglected Heavy Equipment” is my favorite channel these days.
But seriously, it's impressive how much you improve these old machines by just paying attention to detail and how things should work properly.
By the way most videos reflect the state of the machines and how some TLC gets 'em tip top, I feel that the culture of work fast - no time for nothing really hurts everyone at the end of the day.
In a sense, its cool to find cheap gems, but on the other many serviceable machines get "dumped" for no other apparent reason than no time to fix that.
I know times money and "can't do it now" is a fact that troubles us all, but eventually there must be a bit of down time for maintenance.
@@chimerahitman I agree completely
I just want to say thank you for the amount of effort you put in to these videos. It really shows. You can tell some TH-camrs just film anything, slap it together and publish it. Not you. You take time with your camera angles, think things through. I work for a construction company in Southwest Florida and I operate a skid steer daily, part of my job is maintaining the equipment too. I'm not a mechanic but I'm handy. I have to improvise stuff like you do all the time. I could not imagine having thousands of people standing there watching me try to figure out something I've never done before and have no idea how to do. The fact that you include mistakes, you could easily edit out makes it even more genuine. I know how frustrating it is trying to chase down a oil leak in a machine, I couldn't imagine doing it on camera with thousands of people watching criticizing everything I do. Not just as you do it, but once you do it, You have it figured out. So the next time you do it you can take shortcuts and streamline your process. That video is up until you remove it, for people to criticize how you did something years ago potentially that you had no idea how to do. You could very easily go back once you have it figured out make a video of you doing everything right the first time, publish it and no one would know. You're honesty, and openness is refreshing. I appreciate the amount of effort you put in, lugging around camera gear has to add hours to your day. Figuring out shot angles, all well trying to do something that you've never done before. Sorry about the rambly post lol. But I really enjoy your videos and I just wanted to say thank you for the time you take, for our entertainment
It's nice that some people realize how much effort it takes! Cheers!
And it is amazing what I learn NOT to do when watching Jon looking for the reason something is broken. Always had a Blackthump but seeing how he approaches these things made me get so much better. I learn a LOT from him. Amazing. Always thrilled to be able to watch a new video on the weekends.
I use baby powder when searching for leaks in cramped quarters. Get everything cleaned up, dust powder around and wait a bit. Makes it super easy to see where fluid is coming from.
*- BRILLIANT ! ! ! What a great Pro-Tip solution to a big problem.
Yep, this is a great old trick that I've taught to a couple of nephews. Sad thing is that I don't always remember to do it myself! 😅
Real talcum powder has become less obtainable. Most is corn starch based now, I imagine it should work the same, hopefully.
I cried with joy when finally you say '.. nooo leaky-leaky!'
Never a good sign when you’re at the 47 minute mark with 40+ minutes to go and he’s “testing to see if there are any other leaks”.
That's a sure sign of an awesome video!
Yeah that's what gets the views though
John, I'm gonna be honest here bud, you are a different species of human that is no longer the majority. The shit you do on this channel, the various levels of jack of all trades you engage in, is an intelligence on it's own. The shit you've self learned doesn't have a class someone can take to learn about, you are an inspiration to all.
Yeah, seriously! There's not many left in the world with common sense anymore! 😢
Truly! Anyone who’s repaired his own equipment can appreciate that this farm boy is truly a tough, resilient and capable man. Rare.
My Skid-steer PTSD was just triggered! Thanks Jon...
My dad owned a rental yard, and we had a Hydra Mac 9C that burned one summer.
A landscaper had rented it from us, and was using it to spread wood chips, many of which found their way into the belly of the beast. He spilled diesel fuel in there while refueling it one day. Nobody noticed that it had caught fire until well after he shut it down for the day, and had gone home.
The damage wasn't bad enough to total the machine, so we decided to fix it. Taking it to the dealer to have it fixed wasn't going to be useful, as that was us...LOL
We initially removed the engine and hydraulic system, replaced all the electrical wiring, starter, alternator and hoses. Any plastic or rubber parts got replaced. We sent the pumps and motors out to be resealed by the local hydraulic shop which had always done stellar work for us.
Should have been a slam-dunk repair. But, no.... I chased oil leaks on that machine for months. I had much the same problems that you did with old Val there. I couldn't isolate the leak and where it was coming from for the longest time.
It turned out that the hydraulic shop had missed a couple of O-rings in the pumps when they inspected and resealed them for us. To be fair, the overlooked O-rings were behind steel block off plates that were retained by snap rings and covered so thickly with paint by the factory, that you could not tell they were there.
I still have nightmares...
That's painful. We can commiserate!
I assume you don't have that skid steer anymore, since you "had" one? Too many painful memories to keep it?
Hour and a half farm craft video!! Nice!
Totally agree.
always a wonderful friday when that happens
Of course, we now expect 90 minute videos ALL THE TIME!!! LOL
Wow, a sponsor commercial that has something I really could use! It would be a great addition to my woodshop. Outfeed tables for planner, table saw..., extension for my workbench.... Excellent. Thanks man!
he def be the only one I dont skip in-vid-self-made-ads for sure!
Every Friday or Saturday I sit and wait for a Farmcraft video! This is my favorite time of the whole weekend
Same im always thinking when is it Friday
Our modern world is amazing. They club a seal in Norway, ship it to a factory in the US to be processed to the right shape and shipped to the customer in a matter of days, amazing!
Fair play John, you deserve a medal for your patience 👏.
I remember watching the first fixup videos and getting invested into the channel more and more. It's so satisfying seeing you at work with these pieces of machinery.
I´m german and always enjoy it, when a new video shows up on the screen. Don´t stop! Greetings from Bavaria
Servus 👌🏻
Hello Bavaria BMW is my favorite car by far specifically e39 m5
Another exercise in patience completed with determination 😮
BTW - Jon, I wanted to compliment you on your land stewardship and how you graze Big Mama and the rest of the herd. Been watching videos of new(old) grazing practices and one of the hallmarks of good stewardship is the presence of quail. In your last video on the excavator I distinctly and repeatedly heard the “Bob-white” call! Kudos!!!!!
The first useful in-video ad in the last 10 years!
for the voting zombies :)
When you found that nickel I was so glad, Val is finally paying off!
I enjoy the birds in the background, bob-white.
YES!!! I been waiting, John! Glad to see you, my friend… can’t wait to see what we’re doing this week!
Wow, that bobwhite at 6:15. I grew up on the east coast and learned how to whistle on my grandparent's farm trying to talk to the bobwhites. That hit me right in the nostalgia!
Not going to lie, that adjustable height workbench looks slick
I SO relate to this man in his everlasting troubles in taking off fastenings .
Highlight of my day when I see there's a new video, and it's an hour and a half!! please never apologise for videos getting "too long" because not one time have I ever thought one was running too long. I could watch all day!
Great video Jon. Glad you got the skid steer all fixed up. Nice to see it clean....safer too....less risk of fire.
Thank goodness the "tech blackout" hasn't effected the Farm Craft Friday tradition!!! Thanks Jon!!!
What can I say other than Farm Craft videos just get better 1 1/2 hours of just pure enjoyment to watch.
Val is definitely living upto her name John. and dare is say it that I think you have finally fixed her like new.
Think I might just have to rewatch some of previous Farm Craft videos till next week now. 👍👍👍
Yup me too the longer videos are great 👍 👌 lots of channels have said they don't want to make them too long, people would get bored and maybe it's more work to edit but if the footage is there and they just cut a bunch of stuff out I don't get it, most people are watching more for entertainment than they need an answer to some question, even 1 hour to me is a bit short when it was a 3 or 4 day job, why not add in another 45 minutes to the video, great stuff 🦭
Anytime John jinx himself 😂 More content for us 👌
I was beginning to panic you didn't post last friday im glad you're ok Jon i have to get my weekly fix of farmcraft
There was a video on his second channel farmcraft102.
@@JohnADoe-pg1qk i didn't even know he had a 2nd channel so thanks for that John
Love the hour and a half format. More please.
Thank you Jon for spending so many hours on making these videos. Friday night, a cold beer, snacks and Farmcraft 101 is perfect 😊 Greetings from Norway
As a certified heavy equipment mechanic, theirs not much i would do differently, you did a solid job, no doubt.
Besides its your machine, do it however you want to, everyone's gonnah tell you something different, shoulda done it this or that way... do it your way.
love from Canada.
Jon, great video! Quick tip from the aviation world: When we route hoses and other tubes on aircraft engines that are close to contact with each other we'll put a heavy-duty zip tie around one hose loosely, then around the other hose looping through the zip tie on the first hose - then cinch both of them tight. This keeps the hoses separated so they don't rub together yet firmly in place so they don't vibrate at all. Might want to give that a try in the future 😊
I was watching while you're pulling out the hand full of gunk, and I thought I bet he finds a coin and then you did! I was like I knew it!
Some serious weight loss. For you in the heat and debris from the equipment. Thanks for your good natured outlook on life.
Another excellent repair video...thank you for taking us along!
Those Bobwhite Quail whistling in the background is relaxing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Starts humming....
You picked a fine time to leave me two seal.
Damn you do some mighty fine work John. So glad you changed BOTH of the hoses. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I wasn't asking..." always comes to mind when I have to bring out the pipe extension.
I am fascinated by your tenacity and spirit, and I believe I only heard one 'bleep' in the entire audio! Well done! And now you've got an almost brand new LX565. That's certainly worth two likes. 👍 👍
If Dozier was a Labrador dog he'd be in the pond all the time and nice and cool.
Thanks for including the Dozer shots
I so much enjoy your dry sense of humour combined with your tenacious attitude! Great video!
I love to watch channels specializing in cutting and/or mulching brush with skid steers and similar mowing attachments. Those channels, however, don't often show you much maintenance beyond sharpening blades or replacing cutting lugs. Nice video, as always, Jon.
I got stuck traveling this past week for a few days and finally got back to my tv n a beer.
Your video was the first thing I watched. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos.
Thank you sir. :)
A tip for removing hoses- use a cotter pin removal tool ( It’s a pointy end bend at 90 degrees essentially and has a handle). Insert that and break the seal around the hose.
A mechanic pick
Blue paper towel is wonderful for spotting leaks, turns dark blue instantly you find fluid. It's always better when you get comfortable with a motor !
Such patience and perseverance I have before seen.
never before seen
You always go the extra mile to make a great video for us. Thanks for that !
I never thought about getting a standing desk as an adjustable height workbench. Nice.
Crow foot on an Impact? Doesn't get much better than this. Excellent.
Yes!!! I have the same machine!! Thank you 🎉
Your personal vendetta against leaking machines is impressive!
Another fun one, thanks!
Today I was using some noxious chemicals in my basement and in between many short bouts of waiting for something to dry, trimmed/cut down some trees behind my house and dug up some rocks to make a path. All my neighbor saw as I was cleaning up was me walking out of the woods with a respirator, rubber gloves, axe, and shovel though. God knows what he thinks I have been up to.
😂
Greetings from Finland. Your videos are easy to follow because your english is so clear. Keep doing what you do. We are waiting for new videos.
Just to let you know. My wife was looking over my shoulder, she saw the seals and it made her day. THANK YOU.
Two words : courage and perseverance. Love your videos. Marc from Belgium
I did everything you have done to a Bobcat 743 including engine swap. What I felt with was it had lived its life in a concrete powder making plant indoors so as you can imagine every single nook and cranny was filled with concrete. I chipped and chipped and cleaned and repaired more hydraulics than I ever care to do again! Love your channel and the methodology you use in your work ethics!
Your persistence is inspirational and your confidence to reassemble the tear-down is difficult to imagine acquiring!
You just jump in!
How do you eat an elephant??? One bite at a time…😁😉
Yes! Can't watch this video fast enough
YES! John you truly are an inspiration with your levels of expertise , energy , drive to make it work , get it RIGHT and common sense. Not to mention your sense of humor. Watching you working and coming up against "cantankerous / difficult" situations absolutely cracks me up because I've been there so many times myself. Thank you for all the Great content! May you live long to continue repairing and fighting! 👍❤️👍
I've just finished watching the video, 2 words john, "ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT "😊😂
Oh boy, the thumbnail looks nice…
Hi from Australia
I just sold my caterpillar 216b skid steer with a heavy duty hydaraulic slasher.
This makes me regret the sale even though it increased in price and I made good money.
They are a really handy and safe machine to operate in my opinion. Safer than a tractor on steep hills that is.
Tell you what you had me sweating having to wait an extra week for an instalment of you awesome channel and beautiful property.
I’ve never binged an entire channel until last week, where I watched every episode. Great information and very entertaining. My wife cracks up with your seal jokes every time.
Got introduced to your channel a few years ago with your how to tree cutting video and stayed for all the awesome info, awesome research you must put into every video. Your focus and attention to detail sets you apart in my opinion.
You’ve done great things with that property mate, shows us what hard work and sweat equity can get you.
Keep it up!!
You should have seen my wife’s face when I told her there’s a one and a half hour farm craft video to watch tonight 😂😂😂
14:48, you're the only sponsored adds I've been able to watch for TH-camrs, brother
Love your videos man👍
Another amazing show of willpower and patience. You went above and beyond in your repairs by trying to prevent future problems. From my perspective pulling the hydro tank was worth the effort for cleaning and to remove the doubt of a rubbed hole of crack being hidden. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Sees and click on a 1.5 hour video. First 30 seconds into the video @ 0:22 we'll get that fixed up real quick. Lol
So glad you put those lift brackets on
"Real quick".....checks the video is 1.5hours long.... muahhahahhaha
Perfect iv just sat down with my dinner
I love his editing style with the memes he throws in.
Did the same 😂😂
Lol, I applaud Mr Jon on this one. Love this guy's content. Not to advanced an way better than a shade tree guy lol.
I didn't even notice. Came to comments.. omg omg omg!!!
Well done Jon. I am totally amazed you found the problem and fixed a couple of problems that would have caused a shut down sooner or later. Keep the videos coming, I'm retired and enjoy sitting around anyway and this makes me feel I actually learned something and did a good days work.
that cab tilt process makes me really appreciate the newer skid steers where you remove two bolts, and then it lifts up on gas shocks by hand.
To loosen a hydraulic hose connection, just use an air chisel and a round flat nose chisel tool and it works just fine on loosing the nut. :)
Another excellent repair video. Thanks for sharing John, Took me back to the 90's working on Bobcats in the plant hire trade here in the UK.
Hey Sir, your lift looks great! We got a call from one of your subscribers looking for a two post 10k lift, so thanks for the exposure! We appreciate you!
One of the few channels i rly lookout for new videos, no nonsense and hands on.
A good idea for being able to identify your leaks is to tint your hydraulic fluid. When I was plowing snow, ours was tinted blue and it worked very well. You can buy a tint additive and it tints a LOT of gallons from just a small can!
After i watched Diesel Creek yer notification shows up. Its 1:27 a.m here in Christmas Island.
Man, Val sure has some nice brackets to work in conjunction with your lift ;-)
Jon's seemingly infinite collection of bent wrenches is now Infinity -1 if anyone is keeping track.
Thanks for the metric/celsius measurement subtitles. It is always hard to get around imperial units when we are not used to them. Appreciate it.
Boy, VAL had thrown u a big-one. Very Glad that u have gotten everything from leaking. she is a keeper..
Jon, I see you used the double gear clamps but going forward you can buy t-bolt clamps or mikalor clamps instead on hydraulic return lines. You can really torque those down. Plus when using hose protection sleeve you can use gear clamps to hold it or stainless tie wraps works better than tape. Great content!!
To get the hoses off I would suggest a long flat head Or sloted head Screwdriver and pry the lip of the hose leverage always makes hoses easier Jon 25:28 @FarmCraft101
Any time I’m ever that deep into something I will repair even the questionable things. I lay blue shop towels under suspected leaks. Helps locate them. Great video as always. 😊
Popping wheelies on a skid steer. Dozer is looking awesome.
Jon, ever thought about a simpler career than farmcraft? Like maybe heart surgery or building a Mars lander? Just thinking out loud. Best video ever. Thanks!
John, I always admire your work you are so meticulous and you always use the belt and braces the UK saying to avoid future problems great to see.
Val just keeps on giving us great content!
I bet the guy who sold you this machine would break into a cold sweat if he sees these videos.
I personally like the zoom in portion when you drilled the three holes for the fan .... nice touch ... reminds me of my dad when he filmed home movies when I was young ... always the random zooms lol
Thanks Jon. Enjoyed your video. My only suggestion is how about a touch up yellow and black paint job for Val. Maybe she’ll thank you for the newfound look. 😊
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing
Love the cheater pipe ! You, John are a man after my own heart ! ❤
Always looking forward to a new video Jon, and this one was a doozy. Several times I caught myself checking how far into the video I was, worried that it was nearing the end. Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing another adventure with Val!
Third times a charm John. If I was filming that repair the bleeper machine would of melted.
After spending all day hunched over pulling the engine from a Takeuchi TL240 I can really appreciate the flip up cab design. You have all sorts of room for activities.
I think it’s time to open your own repair business! Excellent video, thanks for taking us along!
Clicking thumbs up once is hardly enough! Amazing persistence, skill and patience. If it was me I would have been continuously cursing and destroying things until finally giving up.
