I am going to miss Aaron the rest of the year. I do like the shop videos with you two working. Nice job on the trans and showing us how its done (eventually) - ha! Thanks guys.
Thank you for your support
A "Real" old timer will remember the days when the jump seat was just a thoroughly used 5 gallon metal grease bucket and the lid was an optional luxury ...
The 1st 3 trucks that I drove a B model Mack and then 2 R model Macks, didn't even come with the optional metal bucket...lol
The lack of a lid could make the bucket more useful than just a passenger seat.
Especially after a night of wings and beer. 😉
@Jim Michael Mack quadruplex,triplex,duplex and the extended range with 5 reverse speeds but my favorite was a spicer 5x4 with an airshift valve controlling the 4 spd auxiliary, there was short driveshaft between the 5 and 4, 318 Detroit 2 cycle
Lol
@Jim Michael Yup, 1965 Ford F Series Custom Cab 10/12yd end dump, Cummins 190hp. w/blower (bout a 210) 1960, 5 speed main box and a 1958, 4 speed Aux box. And don’t forget the story of me (@ 10 yrs) driving it up from Farmer's pit to get the ol' man at the "Kit Kat Bar" AKA, local watering hole with lots cats and the place smelled of salmon - it was right next to the ol' mans favorite fishing hole too.😉😉
Gotta thank MBTS for doin all the grunt work and takin all the punch lines... you two work great together!! Great series and thanks also for includin all the problems, redo’s and opps forgot somethins in this... its REAL WORLD and we all go thru it...
Get MBTS to record some of his comments and other thoughts and while in the shop turn it on to fill the silent shop with a little noise now and then.
I love learning how things are done, but I dont think I will be working on transmission in the near future.
Take care
Those that complain about the high cost of repairs when fixing something on heavy equipment need to watch this reality check. Have a blessed and safe weekend.
Thanks
What causes excessive wear on the input shaft. Is when someone likes to keep their foot on the clutch. God bless
Mlm
Good work fellas! When I used to work on those we would put the whole thing together with it sitting vertically. It made lining things up a lot easier. We would also put a shim or two under the clutch brake in case things were a bit worn. Then we could just cut them out with snips if they weren't needed.
Thanks buddy appreciate the tips
Wow what a project. Glad you had MBTS to help .Every time I start a project like that everyone is busy. Odd couple good job.
Well im well impressed on your knowledge of machinery, im the same do it your self,save money dont get ripped off, and learn on the way ,Stay safe Mike and all of your,s
Thanks
Great job Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron putting the clutch and transmission in the Mack
What a marathon boys! The effort you both put in was tremendous. After all that effort to take it apart you then faced an even steeper hill - putting it all back together PROPERLY!! Success!!!! The true image of friendship was evident throughout the task despite the smart remarks to each other. What a team - well done guys - you are truely lucky to have each other!
MBTS, I hope you get your severance pay from HR. I am amazed at how complicated the transmission is and how you can work on it and make it look easy. You guys did an awesome job.
Your right and thank you
You can blame MBTS for the crooked carrier bearing since he was guiding the drive shaft in, and that's no yoke, I mean joke. It took time but you probably saved yourself a ton of money by doing it yourself. Good job and stay safe.
You took just a little bit longer installing the clutch on the Puppy Dog compared to the 42 seconds it takes to install a clutch on line at work for a 2 litre engine, but you had 8 10mm bolts compared to the 6 8mm bolts so I’ll give you that. 😉
🤣😂🤣😂
Looking at the workings inside the transmission, I believe the mechanical engineer that designed it was either a visionary or alien.
There are a few people in the history of mankind who possess genius. Leave it at that. Those of us others get to benefit from their contributions and can only remain in awe of them.
they arevery comon.. and could take a real beating, unlike the new stuff today
These are pretty much the standard in class 8 trucks. These transmissions are extremely reliable and can take a lot of abuse.
man started with 3 speed and kept adding what about 18 speed thousands if not millions of these gear boxes made for world wide use good old gb engineering.
My family owns a heavy equipment repair shop with field capability. Do not miss those days. Enjoy lending a hand when possible. Great video. Stay safe
Fascinating watching that trans go together. Even if it did take hours to time it. Always satisfying to take that first drive and prove you did it right. That’s gotta be at least a $3,000 labor bill at a shop. Where’s “Man behind the scenes” going back to work? (New to the channel)
Yup and thanks
Amazing video, you two make it happen, good friends working together and having fun doing it. I guess this job is the one that Mrs Dirt Perfect wasn’t happy about the smell of gear oil. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks
Having a friend like Aaron is priceless. Seems like the Derby area has a number of good people. That's what every community needs. I hope next year you can have a meet and greet, I plan on attending. Also the TH-cam community you guys have established is very entertaining to say the least. Stay safe, keep working and keep up the great content!!!!!
I just hope that you remembered to put transmission fluid back in? Enjoy the videos!! And, again, I didn't watch further in the video!!! How absent minded of me!!!
Thanks am see did
Thanks,one of those 'know what your doing when you have finished jobs'. Well done....................Gear perfect.
Thanks
the real boss is in the house (MRS DIRT PERFECT)
Think what kind of smarts it took to build and design these transmissions without any computers
Hello, it looks easy, but I know first hand that it is not. Haven't done it for awhile and hope we don't have to. Thank you for sharing
That's no joke Johnny poke. I've never been in to one of these I learn alot to
This is not really the way I remember those repairs going but as long as it works. Keep up the good work. If not instructional, it is entertaining.
If you don't find him handsome at least you find him handy!
Thanks
On a test drive after a clutch replacement I did, (bob tailing) heard a loud bang,bang rattling and vibrations !!! And truck got all kinds a of Squirrelly. And thinking just blew drive lines, Pushed and clutch and hit the brakes. Truck slid fish tailed all over the road. Then after stopping look back found were blew two rear tires on last axle. Was a relief thinking Well I didn't spit the drive lines out! Left some cool skid marks on road that stayed long time. Only I knew how they got there!
You can hear that Aaron favours the Mark Twain style of truth !
Man behind the scene just watching the drive shaft install looks like you cold be in a touch position if something were to let go!
The sacrifices I do for Dirt Perfect 😂
Very informative and just love watching you two. This is a very funny one at that !!!! Keep the funnies coming !!!! Lol.....
Thanks Mark
Looks like you both had a fun time doing that. Working in the dirt is much more fun.
Well you two clowns😊 have done it again. You never cease to amaze me on what you two can achieve together. You make a task seem fun by the way you heckle each other. Thanks again for another great video.
Thanks for the great comment
Thanks Gary
Looked like Aaron was one slip away from having the drive shaft becoming a "nut crusher".
😢😆
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron
I'm glad you guys are normal. I always feel like a fool trying to put things back together. I usually have a few parts leftover, classically I break the most expensive and important ring, spacer or other tiny part. Lots of trips to the parts counter. Loved it! Great video.
Lol thanks
Thanks for sharing. On to the 120. With a spare (old) input shaft, there is always a clutch alignment tool. Just heavy compared to the plastic version. Congrats on a successful rebuild/install.
How long have you guys been workin round each other? Y'all act more like kin than anything.
😂😂😂 not that long it was just like love at first site 😂😂😂
lol 😆
If the dirt business dries up, you could do equipment repairs.
MBTS is handy in tight spaces, keep him on speed-dial.
good job for both of ya.
😁
Does this make you classified as gear heads? 😂😂
lol I hope
How many equipment operators does it take to repair a transmission probably more than you got LOL Keep On Keepin On
At least 1
😂😂😂that’s good stuff there
I'm 100% sure NOW that In paying to get mine fixed 😄
lol
The Man Behind The Scene, I do BELIEVE that DP should go back to MACK and LEARN HOW TO PUT TRANSMISSION BACK TOGETHER!!! Lol.
The rating are going down till the first of the year. Lol
Stay tuned I will be back😂😂
You do know that they have $5 folding chairs at the Wally World that make excellent passenger seats 😂🎥💪
For being an operator and a welder, y'all would make great tag team wrestlers.. (Nacho Libre comes to mind) and that's no joke.. 🤣😂
great job guys, definitely informative.👍👍
I could not wait for this
nice job D.P. and the Man in front ove the camera .. lol
😂😂😂
That is onebig mother of a transmission. I’m curious who makes that transmission. Is it an EATON? Is there a separate transfer case or is that all included in that case. Is there 4 gears each plus reverse plus doubling the number of gears with high and low range to 8 forward speeds and 2 reverse. How many gear sets did you put in. I didn’t quite figure out what those 1/4” rods were all about? Maybe that was part of the synchronizing mechanism. I was totally surprised that there would be any timing marks between gears but I guess there is awe spot because the number of teeth from different speeds need to be aligned. Why wouldn’t the gear set manufacturer have permanent drilled holes for match.i love the sound of Your MACK TRUCK. What is the life left in Your rear Differentials and when will You have to do a partial rebuild of
Your engine in truck and how about injector pump rebuild? I guess that in Your case that you drive it until it breaks because
Your truck never gets too far away from Your base of operation and garage. You sure are a very talented man as a mechanic, machine operator on most equipment, excavation specialist, demolition, and being a former large contractor You are well qualified to make decisions for all Your Clients. OK I have blown enough smoke but I really mean it. You are much too busy to respond to any of the questions I asked and they really aren’t important to me but if you ever do a review it would be interesting to know if the Engine and Cab are the only things made by Mack or is it all Mack. I guessing a new Mack Truck to replace Yours would be $150,000. Your gear parts less than 3 grand and your labour and shop 7 grand. Haul Truck to Mack Dealer and end up with a 20 grand Bill if not more to replace everything if You want warranty. What is the show that has restricted access all about the stick?
“A Bobblehead.....until I need you”. Might be out of context, but the love is there. MBTS makes a fine rebounder, love your work.🥌
Dang that's alot of work..fixing equipment is always an adventure. Great job fellas! 🚛🚜🔧🔧
Mikey... when Aaron turned the camera with you sitting on the floor... I saw the spill and thought, “Oh no! Mike has done spilt his Pepsi and had a total melt down!” Fortunately, it was only a beer.
I used to have a 1952 Farmall A. It had a habit of locking up when shifting out of reverse. It had the same type of shifting forks that you showed on the bottom of your shifter. The one for reverse was worn. It would ride up and pop out of place leaving the transmission in both forward and reverse at the same time. To stop it, I got really good at not driving into dead ends and parking on hills so I could roll backward without using reverse. I also got really good at popping the lid off the transmission cover, sliding the gear with a screwdriver to align the fork and putting the cover back on.
I put up with it for about a year while calling all over the country trying to find a replacement... (before the internet). I told my nephew about it and he said no problem, just bring it out and, I’ll build it up with the welder.
Well sir, he laid the ugliest popcorn looking bead you ever saw on it and brought it to me. I looked at it and asked , “What am I supposed to do with this?”
His reply, “I told you I’d weld it. I never said I’d machine it. You’re the college graduate. I’m sure you can finish it.”
Well, I borrowed calipers and micrometers from work, bought my first angle grinder and a selection files. Then I began a machining job under a shade tree in my backyard that would make Bill Gates look like a mere Windows washer. And to my total surprise and satisfaction I got it working as good as new in one long weekend.
After that... I never touched another transmission... not even the one sitting outside, next to my neighbors garage that he’d turned upside down for his wife to use as a planter. Except... for the time I unscrewed the top off of it and showed a buddy my handiwork... while we were drinking one too many beers!
So, my transmission story and yours both involved beer. I’m betting that a lot of them do!!!
MBTS... every-time you fold your arms, you an't learning much... you are close for inputs!
First off I'm not a mechanic nor would I have ever tried that job. But I must say watching you work together with Man behind the scenes, is like watching a Tim Conway comedy with a very small hint of Nightmare on Elm Street. Lol good video and shows it's not all fun digging in the dirt !
Wow I have no idea how you guys are doing this and keeping everything in order. You are building a giant Swiss Watch. I get it if you do this for a living, but a once in a while project!?!? Wow. I'm seriously impressed. The Man Behind The Scenes got on the short bus to school!
Thanks Aaron, we're gonna miss your gravelly voice making killer comments. Stay safe, hurry back.
I think HR is complaining about lack of love lately. Someone is been in the shop too long 🤔😂 ;) lol. It was just a thought. Great too see old puppy dog back in action
D P I`m fast running out of superlatives with which to describe how much I enjoy watching your vlogs, but I`ll find some, to be sure.
Brilliant job, Watching you two work together is just the way it should be, Loads of banter back and forth between you and the job gets done, Its been great with MBTS around, And of course Captain Kleeman completes the trio......
I 100% agree with you we need Kleeman
Aaron even a stopped clock is right twice a day 🤣
😂😂😂
Just think about the poor baster....that designed that trans... has proply in a padded room.
LOL😭😃
What was wrong with this transmission that you tore it down? Was it popping out of gear?i took the alignment tool and ground the plastic on the back end smooth so I could put it through the clutch disks and slip the pressure plate over the alignment tool.
Pooping out
I got a good one for you. Ol log hauler, he was a lil different kinda fellow out there in left field kind you know, but he always ran old peterbuilt cabover for 30 years or better. He keep patching it up and roll on. It finally got to the point it just wasn't worth patching he was going to give up. Loggers talked him into getting another truck and coming back out to woods, he did and he found him a old freightliner big truck ol he was proud of that thing. Big Detroit motor 15 speed locker rears. It had it all even air ride chassis. He goes and gets his first load of logs leaves the woods gets going down the road starts hearing a noise, said the transmission going out, so heads home pulls the transmission sends it to the shop, they call him back say nothing wrong with transmission. He puts it back in trys again same thing, he says got to be my rearends. Goes back home pulls hogheads. Can't find nothing wrong. He puts it back together. Gets frustrated and gives up says hell with. Truck sat there couple months atleast his buddy stopped by they got to talking about it and he went over looking at it and the son of gun had the airbags deflated and didn't know it. Had the driveline angle off causing the chatter. Lol sorry long message.
Did they order the truck with an Eaton instead of a Mack transmission? The last Mack tractor I drove had a triple counter shaft Mack 13speed in it. The only problem working on trucks is the weight of the parts, I helped a friend work on a motorcycle transmission and was starting to second guess going to school to be a truck mechanic instead of a motorcycle mechanic. At least you got her running again.
Great video Mike and MBTS enjoyed watching this video 🇺🇲
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! Way to go guys.....I'm worn out just watching.....have a great vacation....well deserved!
Lol thanks
Also the pilot bearing is used to keep the clutch from vibrating under acceleration torque load. Trust me.
I now know you YOU rebuild a transmission. To much for me to. Remember 👍👍😄
Brilliant you even spent your valuable time explaining things. You could of easily rush through it now you can get on and make some money great job Peter uk
I know this was done awhile ago but I usually install the PTO then fill the trans from the shift tower hole. Doesn’t matter how you fill it, it just matters that you do fill it.
I didn’t see a line from the TO bearing for lube, did the me not have a lube point?
seat belts are requierd if the wheels are turning
Where you live
Thanks brought back days helped Pete from bridges trucking
Before you leave put a mbts sticker on the outside passenger door. Marking your territory! Gonna miss ya bud! It won't be the same!
Well hell, it was good working with you Mr. Bumm. Look forward to when you come back.
Poor MBTS... if you left the seat out no one would know he was in the truck. He needs a pay raise just for short joke compensation! He is a cool dude to pit up with you. HA Ha
Funny noises when try something after a rebuild is not good. Glad it wasn’t something major.
Did you put a little grease in the pilot bearing? I all ways did. But it was on a pickup help stop a squeal i had when clutch was in and slowing down. You two do great work keeping thing fixed
You guys do great work. You sure do fix stuff right. Was the transmission noisy or jumping out of gear?
Thanks and jumping out
Hey Mike, at least you can't blame the man behind the scene for breaking something your the one that drives.
@38:34 it's like it is Schrödinger's Transmission (Cat) It is working and not working at the same time.
Always scary when you do that test drive, good job Mike and man behind the scenes.
Well, silly mistakes sending you chasing your own ass in a circle aside, that was about painless all said and done. Probably saved you a pile of money on having a diesel shop do it for you too.
I can’t believe you didn’t use the old Input shaft in the new pressure plate and clutch when you mounted the new parts. It’s the perfect tool!
All that work, you'd think you would have sprung for a new pad for that clutch pedal 😆
Dirt perfect will be lost without Aaron (MBTS)
Colin and I are going to miss man behind the scenes. Great video, lots of laughs. Stay safe
the mack is back on the road
Awesome job you two so complicated how do you remember how to put things back in the right order great videos though
As you finish is the point I would find a gasket I forgot to install in the clutch and have to start over. I think this took a lot of guts to take on. I'm impressed once again by my favorite channel.
Get a cardboard cutout of MBTS for the corner of the shop and set him up at a job site every once in awhile til he comes back
I see you didn't resurface the flywheel.....looked ok?
I hope you are sharing the TH-cam money with Aaron. He is at least half your channel
Good video again good job getting the Mack back together I bet when you heard that noise I bet you said
Oh no what is that I am glad it was easy to fix my friend i hate See Aaron leaving he will post on his channel I hope be safe
I just got doing this something this weekend. But I needed a new flywheel too. The little kitty cat decided to spit the locking wire out of the flywheel bolts
Why do I get the feeling that things wouldn't have gone so smooth if Kleeman was involved in replacing those gears, except for collecting them from the dealers 😂
lol not for sure about that
How did you keep MBTS from welding stuff together in there!
I bet it was tough Chris. Mike probably had to hide the MIG welder or shut off the breaker that Aaron couldn’t reach without dragging his 6x6 booster block over to, to be able to reach.
Going to miss MBTS for a while. At least on this channel.
lol
😂😂😂 the way it was going I was ready to. 😂😂😂
@@Crewsy 😂😂😂oh he did
Maybe you should change you "Title" to just plain old "Perfect"! Impressive skills Mike...
Thanks
Sorry for the last comment didn't know you had the alignment tool my bad.
okay using the wire brush on the grinder wizzing the case clean and throwing grit into a open gear case is just a bad idea, use a razor blade to scrape those surfaces clean instead of throwing grit around
OK, you may not like this but. From a couple of your other videos, you could have been home doing 'housework', vacuuming, washing windows, laundry, supper, teaching the kids WHILE 'she' could have rebuilt the trans. Oh and keep in mind, you could have dropped the MACK off and gave up a couple weeks pay and had it done. NO disrespect intended, just sayin.
I love how you break down what you do and take the time to show us the details. Good job guys! Sonny (CT)
Lol
Guys that was a great job, probably saved a few thousand dollars or more!
po boys beat that hunk of metal LOL awesome love seeing you guys doing this stuff
