Mike and Aaron could help keeping this country moving. 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍💪💪. Keep on takin' care of business guys, and I hope your channel continues growing. 💪💪👍👍🤠🤠
Boy it's a whole lot easier changing injectors on the 120 than on the 140. I've got to say Gunner is going to be a well educated asset to the business as long as he keeps helping like he does. Another great video Mike, Stay safe.
You remind me of how my dad taught me growing up. He was a carpenter, electrician, plumber, framer, roofer and a licensed asbestos remover. I went to work with my dad every day before I started school. Then after I started school he would leave the job site pick me up from school and take me back with him to work. Every summer, weekend we were working together. He taught me well. He’s gone now. He died in January of this year. I miss him more than words can explain. Keep it up Mike that young man is learning not only the trade but what it means to be a man and father. He will cherish these memories the rest of his life! God bless you my friend. By the way leave Gunner alone. My granddad said I ask more questions than a Philadelphia lawyer. Whatever that meant. He said I asked too many **mn questions.
@@randyadams7269 thank you. The loss of my dad is the greatest loss I’ve ever felt in my fifty years of living. We were super close. He was always there when I needed him. No matter the time, place or circumstance I absolutely knew he had my six. He was the single greatest influence on me in this world. When I needed a reality check he was there to point me in the right direction. When I succeeded he was the first to celebrate my success. I had confidence he would tell me the truth no matter what. I pray God bless and comfort you as well.
Challenge answer: tightened and torqued the injector hold downs before seating the side feed tubes. Edit: Seated the feed tubes with the wrench. Perhaps they should be pushed to seat and THEN tightened? I would think you should seat the injectors, loose the retainer, install the feed tube to a certain seating torque and back off, torque the injector hold down and then torque the feed tube.
I was not as fortunate as you. I had two girls but while I was a mechanic they both watched and was my go for They learned a lot more than I thought they would. It’s great he watches you and learn
A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... Even a maintenance video is very interesting... Great video... Good job guys... 😎👍Big thumbs up... And since it is 9/11 a big shout out to all first responders, and thanks for your service... And may we never forget those that gave all on this date!!!
Great to see Gunner involved in this video. The Business is your lively hood but time with the children is so important. My children are now 24 and 27. I spent lots of time with them but wish now I had found more time.
The Cameraman behind the Installation of the New Injectors did an Outstanding Job. That Man Deserves a Raise $$$. Appreciate you having us along, catch you on the next one. Keep It Safe Out There Fella’s
That there loading shot at the start onto the lowboy was just doggone dirt perfect! 🤣🤣 another workshop day passed without incident and nice to see Gunnar out helping with the work, Thanks for sharing as always
Remember watching the video on Mrs DP channel. I was thinking you were going to sell when you detailed the inside. I mean even the windows were clean. I’ve see the Volvo in probably 25 or more videos and the windows were always dirty. Kinda sorry to see it go but glad also because it means something bigger might be it’s replacement.
I have owned and ran older Volvo equipment. In general I was satisfied with those machines. I have owned two Volvo trucks with DF and all those emissions on them. They both where money pits. The one only had 16000 miles on it when I bought it at one year old. They had to replace two sets of injectors under warranty and I had to do another set out of warranty. That was around $4k. Then I had to replace several of the emission components at a cost of over $10K. The final straw was the engine developed a internal water leak and they thought it was a cylinder head which would have cost me around $10K. I sold the truck As-is for $35K with only 185,000 miles on it. I had given $85K for it when it was one year old. So you take the repairs and depreciation my total cost of ownership was over $64K for only 175,000 miles. That works out to around 37 cents per mile without any fuel or tire cost. So any piece of early emission systems from Volvo I would never own again. After 2019 they are supposed to have worked it out but I am not going to try one to find out.
Great to see your son helping you. Have to respect the man who works on his own equipment, must have done something right because it fired right up. Another Awesome Video
Well considering NYA was factoring in the 210 for moving dirt in 2023, I'm not sure. But this would all come down to the direction you want to run your business. The Volvo has caused you some problems, but made you money. I'm sure you have given this many hours of deep thinking. No matter what decision you make you will be successful because you have the drive to go forward. Great video, keep them coming. If you keep the Hyundai or buy a different machine I know you will give it plenty of scenarios before you invest. The 140 was a thorn in your side, maybe the next will be better. Just remember the 120 will always be there to save the day.
Gunner’s meaningful vocabulary dad is teaching will continue to surpass those who have their heads buried in digital gaming…lol. Oh how we miss those Dad and son days. One thing for sure, when we do get a day with them in our older years, we get to relive a lifetime of memories. Great video Mike. Pride of Ownership is golden for return on investment. Injector lubed with engine oil including the o’rings.
Nice clean up Gunner with that power washer!! and thanks for filling in for MBTS, he needs all the help he can get🤪 Bye bye 140, making room for the big boys💪👍🇺🇸
Not sure of anyone has gotten it yet but it looks like you missed checking for the old washers on end of injectors still being down in the holes before installing new injectors. Very nice video once again DP thanks for bringing us along and keep up the great work 😁 👍
@@c.e.g7448 I know he checked the first one, wasn't sure if he had checked all of them. Was just my guess, I later learned that wasn't what he'd goofed on.
that was going to be my guess. need to loosen the hold downs off before tightening the feed tubes. or like on a cummins, torque them to 11 in/lb initial
Gunner reminds me when I was his age and went to the workshop of my dad getting my hands dirty. It is where I learned to be a mechanic, long before I went to school. For the sale of the Volvo, you really like the 120 more and you need a bigger machine next to it. With the resale value of the Volvo you can make that step up. I think it is a good decision.
Another great video of you working with Gunner! I can remember getting in my fathers way all the time, when I was Gunners age. LOL Sure wish I had him around to ask questions to now. It's only a guess, but I don't think you checked all the ports for O-rings that might have got left from the old injectors. I know you looked at 3, I think, but don't remember seeing you check the #4. 👍
I was a Volvo MACK mechanic for many years and with these new engines meaning 2013 and newer. Injectors have a very high failure rate. Mostly due to the electronics inside and any miniscule amount of contamination of other liquids or debris with send them to the trash pile instantly. But the electronics will fail just because it's cloudy outside.
@@Stewies_Stuff sure don't make them like they use to. Wouldn't dare throw in some ATF in the fuel tanks to lubricate a set of old injectors. These new ones would fuck up instantly
That was a very good description Mike. Gunner was with you, almost. He still snitched on you. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He's a pretty good little cameraman. 😅 Mom won't catch me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤠🤠🤔🤔
My most Enjoyable Dirt Perfect video to date. Cleaning the machine and making her look sparkling. I cried 😭😭😭seeing the machine look so nice and now shes gone. Did she really need such a good clean up only when its time to leave. The more questions Gunner asks the more he learns. Keep being a good dad and answer them all. Last but not least how is it that you offer much more smiles on your channel and zero smiles on Mrs DP channel. When Gunner joined in and you asked him a few questions we need that smiles when Mrs is filming on her channel.
It is Sunday, and You bring the Perfect Man Video! 🔩⚙️🔧🛠️ The great Service from the Volvo 140 Motor!!! For Woman a heavy subject! We Drive the Machine very good, but the Repairs and Care is Man's Hobby 👍😂love Greetings 💅
Outstanding opening with the camera on the bucket! In regards to keep or sell; The machine is paid off and is not a financial liability but an asset it might be worthy to keep around especially if you plan on growing with more work. God forbid you have a breakdown with one of the other machines it reduces the stress and improves the quality of service which definitely appears to have a sentinel bearing on "Honor". If you need it for a down payment on another machine then obviously it's your call because you understand your finances. Would Mrs DP be able to help with this decision? If a machine breaks down while we're working at our own home it can be aggravating but somewhat of a lesser bearing on importance with the time delay as compared to working for a client because of the important personal values you place upon yourself and your team providing a professional quality service. Having this moral integrity establishes confidence between you and your clients which also builds a character often overlooked by some and yet ultimately creates a dignified and honorable reputation. If it were me I would keep the machine if I could afford it and maybe have Gunner start her up to exercise her every now and then. Don't mean to be verbose but I think that's part of the reason why folks enjoy the show. It's not just for the expertise and the learning but that you come from a place of honor and respect which is earned (and can be easily lost). Many contractors seem to know the difference between right and wrong and lack that moral compass to stay on the right side of things. Yours is not just about right or wrong but coming from a moral high ground of Honor where the lack of it can bring shame.,. Hope this makes sense.... Thanks bunches DP! Stay the course and as always, may God continue to abundantly bless you, your family, Associates and other hard-working members of society keeping the gears turning forward
Gunner reminds me of me, just 65 years ago! Dad had a contract machine shop, that was my day care spot. I was operating a South Bend lathe, alone, when I was 8 years old.
So he was suppose to pull the motor and spin it around one full turn. Reinstall the motor then start it? . . . . . . . . Joking lol sorry I read you comment and couldn't keep my troll for showing its head.
Exactly. If you don't clear the cylinders it will hydro-lock causing significant damage. Common rail systems tend to drain all their fuel down the holes as soon as the o-ring unseats. It is also recommended to do an oil change after to make sure there is no fuel in oil.🤙
2nd comment bc I wanted to guess about what you did different. The last 2 you didn’t check down in the injector hole before you put it in , but earlier you did a quick check in all 4. You didn’t however check the end of number 4 after removing from packaging to make sure it had a washer or was clean. Just out the pack and in it went. Anyway that’s the difference I saw from the first 2
Gunner makes a better helper. Great job of Working with him dad this is where he will learn everything there is that you know passing along that wisdom is priceless have a great day guys glad I finally got to see the videos you told me about from the pontoon
Wish you could get a pressure cleaner like Mrs DP’s one in Oz, it’s a great set up. Gunner was more talkative in this video than any others, looks like he enjoys working with his dad as much as I did. Great vid as always
I think you made the right decision on selling this excavator. Can’t wait to see what you decide on. Top work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Knew it would go. I have no chance of finding your error. Your teaching me. You nailed it. and sold it. Like you thinking. A good job done Gunner. you helped selling it. Nice and clean
Got a felling dropping the injector wasn’t good almost sounded like the O ring was missing, but I’ve never done a set myself, great job Mike and Gunner 👍
When you had the injectors back in and put the cage looking piece back on you forgot to put the square flat piece that goes under it towards the left side of the machine. That's the best way i can describe it seeing how i don't know anything about changing injectors on a excavator.
Great job on the repair. Glad that you are keeping the 120 over the 140. The 120 will compliment your fleet whether you keep the 210 or go with something of similar size. For the question, and I am sure that many have spotted it as well before me, I didn't see you clear the cylinders of any liquids before installing the injectors. Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy watching your projects.
I do hvac, and you gotta keep all your filters clean; especially now when energy will cost 2-3-4 times more. It really helps. Check your furnace filters, now is the time. Cheers!
these are the funnest DP vids- with MBTS in the shop. you're a good dad DP - teaching gently Gunner how to do stuff. my old man used to say - 'go tell ya ma she wants you'.
I enjoy learning new things from your channel and the general maintenance you face with all your equipment. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Stay safe
I knew the 140 was short for this world. You never seemed really totally warm up to it. And as I said before, I’m guessing the 210 has already been added to the stable. I guess we’ll have to wait for the video to find out for sure!
I do enjoy your videos, especially when MBTS shows up. He is a pleasure to watch and an added gem to your team. Thanks for including our viewing pleasure as you run your business. Be safe and keep things fun.
Nice to see Gunner helping out on this project DP. Absolutely no doubt he's gonna remember working with his old man. Always good to start teaching them young. Especially if one day he's gonna be working on your crew. I'm pretty sure one day he'll be taking your place as the Boss when it's time for you to retire. Hats off to Arron and Matt for helping out on this project as well. I've no doubt the new owner is going to appreciate the work you did as he's using it on jobs. Can't wait to see what replaces it.
I asked my dad, "Why do you put that there?" He replied, "I don't know." i asked, "Dad what does that thing do?" He replied, "I don't know." I asked, "Dad. Why did you use that part vs this other part?" He replied, "I don't know." I asked, "Dad. Why do I ask you anything?" He replied, "Well, how else are you supposed to learn stuff." My dad was a carpenter. I lived in a remodel all my life. I would watch him put wedges under a window, screw in the window, then remove the wedges. I would ask why he used the wedges. The real answer was to hold the window in place and level while he screwed it in place. Intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. I guess 6 year olds are not that casual. Other examples are why the put short 2x4's between the studs. The real answer is code says you need a fire stop on any wall over 8ft tall. On a 8ft wall the top plate does that. On a 10ft (or higher) wall you need those fire blocks. It also helps the wall studs from twisting as they dry out. BTW you can put the fire stops between 6ft off the floor and 9ft off the floor. Who wants to climb a ladder? Put the suckers at 6ft while standing on a plank, sitting on some 2ft tall saw horses. duh. "Hey dad, why are you standing on that scaffolding plank when you put those block in place?" He is 6ft4in tall. He didn't really need to stand on a platform. So, his reply, "I don't know." "Dad, Why do you put chicken wire on the wall and then cover it in stucco?" "Dad, Why is the roof sloped?" (4/12 pitch) He had me help him roof his neighbors house when I was 6. I was afraid of falling or high places, until he told me that a fall never hurt anyone, It is that sudden stop at the bottom that really hurts.
Volvo has contracts with Deutz to provide engines 7 liter and smaller, under lime green Volvo industrial paint, and its name on the valve cover. Even though Agco, at the time they bought both Valtra and Fendt, had sworn Fendt would maintain a German engine, has introduced their new 700 series with an AgcoPower (Formerly Valtra, Sisu) engine because users were dissatisfied with, especially the twin turbo Deutz engine in 250-280hp trim. So, i wouldnt hesitate one bit to kick out the 140 with the 4 cylinder version of that Deutz engine family, because that wasnt their finest hour. i would have much more faith in the QSB4.5 in the Hyundai, because it is seriously beefed up over the 3.9/5.9 liter generation. Also, the other day i didnt quite get how you got to the fuel consumption vs capacity comparison: You measured the fuel burn in an 8 hour work day, while comparing the number of minutes it took to load Bubba Dump ? i mean if you compared the fuel burn per 8 hour, to the number of Bubba Dumps loaded in that 8 hour period, it would be a fair comparison. Because when the ground is hard, the Volvo would be scratching and the Hyundai would be just scooping... The harder the ground, the more efficient a bigger machine gets. (that means: Get Lt. Dan ready this winter, and compare again next spring when the 210 is continously loading both trucks without a break ! I bet the 210 will have a more profitable bottom line in yards per hour if you factor in operator wages when it keeps two trucks moving !)
Good thing you enjoy working on your equipment.you would be in trouble big time.if you would be saying it’s close enough and on to the next .hope it works.good video as always.keep it up.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Gunner is a klever boy🌞 he knows to keep his cakeintake shut when the camera is on, fotunatly for us MBTS dont. you being strait with the buyer tells me something about you 😍 love the atitude. stay safe be well.
I’m guessing since the 210 has DP stickers all over it now, it’s clear what your choice is/was to replace the 140. Yes it burns more fuel and on some jobs the 120 or 140 are more economical to run but you’re definitely getting into bigger jobs and you can’t beat a bigger machine to move more dirt when you got a Bubba Dump to work with it.
Nice job love Gunner working with you he’s sure getting good ! :) did you accidentally put the hold down clamps upside down ? Glad she sold for good money and you have a great mindset selling a machine in total honesty ! Many wouldn’t :(
Sooo..... what was the thing you did wrong? Was scrolling through many comments but do not see one you mentioned is correct? Has anyone actually guessed it yet?! Love all your vids. Been here since you had like 40k viewers. Been great to see this evolve.
A couple of ways to look at this. It really depends on where you are planning on taking your business. If you decide to keep the Hyundai, this would give you a spare machine to leave on other sites if you happen to have multiple jobs going. If don't keep the Hyundai, you will probably need this machine to maintain your current level of operations. Next point, even if you don't decide to keep the Hyundai, is the 140 reaching the point of escalating maintenance and repair costs? If so, time to ditch it and find a good replacement. If you are still expanding and the 140 is still a reasonably cost effective machine, probably best to keep it. Edit: Just over 8 minutes in and I can see that this is a CRDI system. Now I begin to ask. Are you pulling injectors because of fault codes and if so, do you have an appropriate scan tool for the job? Watching the rest with interest and a certain amount of trepidation.... Around 22min, have you kept track of which injector went where? I assume that you have to program correction factors into the ECU on these machines? (Answered at 24:40) As a side note, most of the automotive correction codes I deal with are between 16 and 30 characters in length and a lot of vehicles will throw fault codes if they are not entered correctly. As a rough guess, I would assume that, being only 4 digit, the correction codes on the 140 are no where near critical. At 42:15, looks like the question is moot anyway! 😁🤣🙃
That’s what his antlered friend is for , ya know the John Deere. It has more power than the 120. But the h210 and the jd140. He is more versatile. Just my opinion
Good morning Dirt Perfect. I'd recommend you keep the Volvo 140 -, especially if you're budget conscious. And once again, thank you for all you do working with the soil - our most important resource.
Curt and the team over there at area diesel service are awesome for sure
Highly recommend!!
Agree

Love how Gunner helps in his own way that he is capable of doing.....he is learning more than he really realizes...great job dad
yeah but when gunner become older to work and drive them machines them machines probably be battery power by then

Yes it is
in 10-15 years them machines probably be battery power so all the stuff he learns about diesel wouldn't help him just saying

The Volvos are really very good machines, reliable and efficient. A 140 is light but quite useful, it all depends on the type of work you do.
Agree
DP you are one good guy . Because most people would have sold it as is . Let alone replaced the injectors or even told the buyer 👏 to you.
Thanks
Love how gunner is getting involved he is learning so much.
Gunner coming in clutch with all the good details. He is the true dude behind the scenes
I watched the test end of life With failure and suggested putting in the new. Well done 👍.

You called it a 120 instead of a 140 and I didn't see you used a new gasket putting it back together. But you did a great job.
I nearly had a heart attach when gunner put his finger in that bolt hole😳 have seen a finger lost that way.
I’m behind but I think it’s recommended to not fully tighten the injectors prior to installing the connector tubes.
Gunner’s meaningful vocabulary dad is teaching will continue to surpass those who have their heads buried in digital gaming…lol. Oh how we miss those Dad and son days.

Not sure of anyone has gotten it yet but it looks like you missed checking for the old washers on end of injectors still being down in the holes before installing new injectors. Very nice video once again DP thanks for bringing us along and keep up the great work 😁 👍
No he didn't! It was the first thing he did when he was ready to insert the first injector.
@@c.e.g7448 I know he checked the first one, wasn't sure if he had checked all of them. Was just my guess, I later learned that wasn't what he'd goofed on.
Tightened the injector hold downs completely before installing the feed tubes to ensure they seat properly
that was going to be my guess. need to loosen the hold downs off before tightening the feed tubes. or like on a cummins, torque them to 11 in/lb initial
That was my guess too
Great job to Gunner. He’s already smarter than a lot of people I know. He knows righty tighty and lefty loosie

When Gunner joined in and you asked him a few questions we need that smiles when Mrs is filming on her channel.
Goodbye 140. Gunner is a real good helper. Interesting future upcoming I'd say.
It is Sunday, and You bring the Perfect Man Video! 🔩⚙️🔧🛠️ The great Service from the Volvo 140 Motor!!! For Woman a heavy subject! We Drive the Machine very good, but the Repairs and Care is Man's Hobby 👍😂love Greetings 💅
Outstanding opening with the camera on the bucket!
In regards to keep or sell;
The machine is paid off and is not a financial liability but an asset it might be worthy to keep around especially if you plan on growing with more work.
God forbid you have a breakdown with one of the other machines it reduces the stress and improves the quality of service which definitely appears to have a sentinel bearing on "Honor".
If you need it for a down payment on another machine then obviously it's your call because you understand your finances. Would Mrs DP be able to help with this decision?
If a machine breaks down while we're working at our own home it can be aggravating but somewhat of a lesser bearing on importance with the time delay as compared to working for a client because of the important personal values you place upon yourself and your team providing a professional quality service.
Having this moral integrity establishes confidence between you and your clients which also builds a character often overlooked by some and yet ultimately creates a dignified and honorable reputation.
If it were me I would keep the machine if I could afford it and maybe have Gunner start her up to exercise her every now and then.
Don't mean to be verbose but I think that's part of the reason why folks enjoy the show. It's not just for the expertise and the learning but that you come from a place of honor and respect which is earned (and can be easily lost).
Many contractors seem to know the difference between right and wrong and lack that moral compass to stay on the right side of things.
Yours is not just about right or wrong but coming from a moral high ground of Honor where the lack of it can bring shame.,.
Hope this makes sense....
Thanks bunches DP! Stay the course and as always, may God continue to abundantly bless you, your family, Associates and other hard-working members of society keeping the gears turning forward
Gunner reminds me of me, just 65 years ago! Dad had a contract machine shop, that was my day care spot. I was operating a South Bend lathe, alone, when I was 8 years old.
Should have turned the engine over 360 deg to clear the cylinders of fuel and oil before cranking
Yes
So he was suppose to pull the motor and spin it around one full turn. Reinstall the motor then start it?

Joking lol sorry I read you comment and couldn't keep my troll for showing its head.
360 isn’t enough. You need 2 full turns to get all 4 cylinders through an exhaust stroke. 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly. If you don't clear the cylinders it will hydro-lock causing significant damage.
Common rail systems tend to drain all their fuel down the holes as soon as the o-ring unseats. It is also recommended to do an oil change after to make sure there is no fuel in oil.🤙
2nd comment bc I wanted to guess about what you did different. The last 2 you didn’t check down in the injector hole before you put it in , but earlier you did a quick check in all 4. You didn’t however check the end of number 4 after removing from packaging to make sure it had a washer or was clean. Just out the pack and in it went. Anyway that’s the difference I saw from the first 2
Probably not the first but the way I was taught you put the feed tubes in place before you torque the injectors down to avoid misalignment and leaks.
Gunner makes a better helper. Great job of Working with him dad this is where he will learn everything there is that you know passing along that wisdom is priceless have a great day guys glad I finally got to see the videos you told me about from the pontoon
Man you have got one hell of a beautiful piece of property. Very nice
Wish you could get a pressure cleaner like Mrs DP’s one in Oz, it’s a great set up.
Gunner was more talkative in this video than any others, looks like he enjoys working with his dad as much as I did. Great vid as always
I think you made the right decision on selling this excavator. Can’t wait to see what you decide on. Top work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Gunner is turning into a real star, love to see him grow in stature
More important than any Volvo 140 is the investment you are making into your boy Gunner, well done dad.
Knew it would go. I have no chance of finding your error. Your teaching me. You nailed it. and sold it. Like you thinking. A good job done Gunner. you helped selling it. Nice and clean
Got a felling dropping the injector wasn’t good almost sounded like the O ring was missing, but I’ve never done a set myself, great job Mike and Gunner 👍
When you had the injectors back in and put the cage looking piece back on you forgot to put the square flat piece that goes under it towards the left side of the machine. That's the best way i can describe it seeing how i don't know anything about changing injectors on a excavator.
Not it
Has anyone got it right yet?
You are one awesome guy.making the tractor Wright before you sell it . That's if you deside to .here in California you're off buying new .
Great job on the repair. Glad that you are keeping the 120 over the 140. The 120 will compliment your fleet whether you keep the 210 or go with something of similar size.
For the question, and I am sure that many have spotted it as well before me, I didn't see you clear the cylinders of any liquids before installing the injectors. Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy watching your projects.
Gunner is the MAN! I just love this kid.
I thought the 140 would be gone good video good to see hunter taking an interest in your work
Hunter? That’s Clinton’s son. DP’s son is Gunner. 😉
Mike great video!it was great having Matt Gunner and Aaron you little friend helping you! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Mike you and gunner make a great team,he having alot of fun,matt doing 👏 already job. Great videos
You had to take your valve cover gasket and wiring harness back off to take pictures of the the codes on the injectors
Awesome watching Gunner showing interest. Telling how it is too. Good luck in what ever it is you decide.
I do hvac, and you gotta keep all your filters clean; especially now when energy will cost 2-3-4 times more. It really helps.
Check your furnace filters, now is the time. Cheers!
I would buy the 210 and keep the 140 your growing and versatility saves
I was helping my grandpa when I was younger than gunner I could get my hands in places he couldn't
I agree with you! The 120 is an awesome machine and I would not let it go! Why let someone else reap the pleasure of a awesome machine 👌
Putting the hood back on
Wow ! I did not realize how new and a low hr machine that the Volvo really was 😎❤️🍺
watch wes work has used them before and has a video of their shop...he loves those guys...
Yup awesome to work with
Matt is great help and has great skills 👍
these are the funnest DP vids- with MBTS in the shop. you're a good dad DP - teaching gently Gunner how to do stuff. my old man used to say - 'go tell ya ma she wants you'.
I enjoy learning new things from your channel and the general maintenance you face with all your equipment. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Stay safe
Thanks
Area Diesel awesome got my old backhoe rolling fine people highly recommend them sold me a fuel pump wayyy cheaper than a rebuild here thanks guy's 😊
Good deal
I knew the 140 was short for this world. You never seemed really totally warm up to it. And as I said before, I’m guessing the 210 has already been added to the stable. I guess we’ll have to wait for the video to find out for sure!
It was a good video I was really glad that Gunner got to help, believe me he learned from that, and great that you have patience to teach him ❤
Aaron did a great job also, sorry didn’t mean to leave him out
You know, you should set up bleachers and sell tickets when you and Aaron do mechanic work! You guys are a blast to watch!
Lol
Love the way that you interact with your kids
Thanks
Man, that one-bladed shop ceiling fan looks like it can get 'er done!
I do enjoy your videos, especially when MBTS shows up. He is a pleasure to watch and an added gem to your team.
Thanks for including our viewing pleasure as you run your business. Be safe and keep things fun.
would be lining up the two parts off the injector so that they fit together properly.
Nice to see Gunner helping out on this project DP.
Absolutely no doubt he's gonna remember working with his old man.
Always good to start teaching them young.
Especially if one day he's gonna be working on your crew.
I'm pretty sure one day he'll be taking your place as the Boss when it's time for you to retire.
Hats off to Arron and Matt for helping out on this project as well.
I've no doubt the new owner is going to appreciate the work you did as he's using it on jobs.
Can't wait to see what replaces it.
I think them volvo square exhaust would look mint on bubba dump and sound just as good
I asked my dad, "Why do you put that there?" He replied, "I don't know." i asked, "Dad what does that thing do?" He replied, "I don't know." I asked, "Dad. Why did you use that part vs this other part?" He replied, "I don't know." I asked, "Dad. Why do I ask you anything?" He replied, "Well, how else are you supposed to learn stuff."
My dad was a carpenter. I lived in a remodel all my life. I would watch him put wedges under a window, screw in the window, then remove the wedges. I would ask why he used the wedges. The real answer was to hold the window in place and level while he screwed it in place. Intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. I guess 6 year olds are not that casual. Other examples are why the put short 2x4's between the studs. The real answer is code says you need a fire stop on any wall over 8ft tall. On a 8ft wall the top plate does that. On a 10ft (or higher) wall you need those fire blocks. It also helps the wall studs from twisting as they dry out. BTW you can put the fire stops between 6ft off the floor and 9ft off the floor. Who wants to climb a ladder? Put the suckers at 6ft while standing on a plank, sitting on some 2ft tall saw horses. duh. "Hey dad, why are you standing on that scaffolding plank when you put those block in place?" He is 6ft4in tall. He didn't really need to stand on a platform. So, his reply, "I don't know."
"Dad, Why do you put chicken wire on the wall and then cover it in stucco?" "Dad, Why is the roof sloped?" (4/12 pitch) He had me help him roof his neighbors house when I was 6. I was afraid of falling or high places, until he told me that a fall never hurt anyone, It is that sudden stop at the bottom that really hurts.
Volvo has contracts with Deutz to provide engines 7 liter and smaller, under lime green Volvo industrial paint, and its name on the valve cover.
Even though Agco, at the time they bought both Valtra and Fendt, had sworn Fendt would maintain a German engine, has introduced their new 700 series with an AgcoPower (Formerly Valtra, Sisu) engine because users were dissatisfied with, especially the twin turbo Deutz engine in 250-280hp trim.
So, i wouldnt hesitate one bit to kick out the 140 with the 4 cylinder version of that Deutz engine family, because that wasnt their finest hour.
i would have much more faith in the QSB4.5 in the Hyundai, because it is seriously beefed up over the 3.9/5.9 liter generation.
Also, the other day i didnt quite get how you got to the fuel consumption vs capacity comparison: You measured the fuel burn in an 8 hour work day, while comparing the number of minutes it took to load Bubba Dump ? i mean if you compared the fuel burn per 8 hour, to the number of Bubba Dumps loaded in that 8 hour period, it would be a fair comparison. Because when the ground is hard, the Volvo would be scratching and the Hyundai would be just scooping... The harder the ground, the more efficient a bigger machine gets. (that means: Get Lt. Dan ready this winter, and compare again next spring when the 210 is continously loading both trucks without a break ! I bet the 210 will have a more profitable bottom line in yards per hour if you factor in operator wages when it keeps two trucks moving !)
Brings back a ton of great memories of me and my Dad elbow deep into repair work. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!!
Good thing you enjoy working on your equipment.you would be in trouble big time.if you would be saying it’s close enough and on to the next .hope it works.good video as always.keep it up.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Gunner is a klever boy🌞 he knows to keep his cakeintake shut when the camera is on, fotunatly for us MBTS dont.
you being strait with the buyer tells me something about you 😍 love the atitude.
stay safe be well.
I’m guessing since the 210 has DP stickers all over it now, it’s clear what your choice is/was to replace the 140.
Yes it burns more fuel and on some jobs the 120 or 140 are more economical to run but you’re definitely getting into bigger jobs and you can’t beat a bigger machine to move more dirt when you got a Bubba Dump to work with it.
Good to see, when you were lowering the engine cover Gunner was pushing it with a closed hand.
Nice job love Gunner working with you he’s sure getting good ! :) did you accidentally put the hold down clamps upside down ?
Glad she sold for good money and you have a great mindset selling a machine in total honesty ! Many wouldn’t :(
Sooo..... what was the thing you did wrong? Was scrolling through many comments but do not see one you mentioned is correct? Has anyone actually guessed it yet?!
Love all your vids. Been here since you had like 40k viewers. Been great to see this evolve.
Yup at-least 5 got it
A couple of ways to look at this. It really depends on where you are planning on taking your business.
If you decide to keep the Hyundai, this would give you a spare machine to leave on other sites if you happen to have multiple jobs going.
If don't keep the Hyundai, you will probably need this machine to maintain your current level of operations.
Next point, even if you don't decide to keep the Hyundai, is the 140 reaching the point of escalating maintenance and repair costs?
If so, time to ditch it and find a good replacement.
If you are still expanding and the 140 is still a reasonably cost effective machine, probably best to keep it.
Edit: Just over 8 minutes in and I can see that this is a CRDI system. Now I begin to ask. Are you pulling injectors because of fault codes and if so, do you have an appropriate scan tool for the job?
Watching the rest with interest and a certain amount of trepidation....
Around 22min, have you kept track of which injector went where? I assume that you have to program correction factors into the ECU on these machines? (Answered at 24:40)
As a side note, most of the automotive correction codes I deal with are between 16 and 30 characters in length and a lot of vehicles will throw fault codes if they are not entered correctly.
As a rough guess, I would assume that, being only 4 digit, the correction codes on the 140 are no where near critical.
At 42:15, looks like the question is moot anyway! 😁🤣🙃
That’s what his antlered friend is for , ya know the John Deere. It has more power than the 120. But the h210 and the jd140. He is more versatile. Just my opinion
Good morning Dirt Perfect. I'd recommend you keep the Volvo 140 -, especially if you're budget conscious. And once again, thank you for all you do working with the soil - our most important resource.
