    This was a lot of work, and it turns out there's a lot more work to come! The battle will continue next week! If interested in buying my favorite screwdriver, it's in my amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/farmcraft101 under "Tools every shop needs." Have a great weekend everybody, and thank you all for your support!

      Add my endorsement to that Klein tools screwdriver. FAR superior to the ones where you store bits in the handle.

      Great screwdriver. I'm on my fourth one since every time I loose a bit it is a must have replacement for me.

      Oh man this was a good watch. I happen to be fixing my own tracked spider lift in my back yard right now. Doing a full hose replace up the main pantograph - not easy. I was having nightmares about the main lifting ram leaking just like this. Dry so far... I can't wait to see how you get that sucker out. Did you ever check the cylinder drift with a dial gauge? Mine seems to be within spec for now..

    I appreciate your persistence. That bottom pin was ridiculous and yet so gratifying when it finally popped. As an engineer that has helped to design, build, and test all sorts of funky custom machinery, I really like seeing the variety of problems you've been handling. Keep up the good work and thanks for your efforts.

    Really excellent editing, your voice is radio dj perfect, your knowledge is astounding,
    your subjects are interesting and rich and lastly you are broadcasting this feeling of enormous competence
    so the viewer can just sit back and enjoy. Keep it up and guaranteed your subscriber list will pop over a million

    King pins will rust if you use the wrong type of grease. High-melting point grease as used in bearings often has a lithium base, which is hygroscopic. No problem when it runs hot most of the time but if you use that grease for a king pin it will suck up water like a sponge! In the past I have used stern tube oil (for ships' propeller bearings) and I have used Wynns or STP "oil treatment" for old engines. Both resist rusting but need to be applied more often than grease because they are less thixotropic (more runny). Castrol CL grease is good. Castrol LM is not.

    Yes, the choke element is a bi-metal strip wound into a coil. Running electricity through it, heats it. The two metals it is made of expand at different rates. This will cause it to open. closes as it is cooled.

    Big ultrasonic parts cleaners are a must for cleaning carbs deep passages out. I've fought clogged tiny idle passages in VW carbs that carb cleaner and air pressure wouldn't clear out. Even a soak in Berrymans watered down version they sell these days didn't do anything. So, years ago I bought a big ultrasonic parts cleaner. After fully disassembling the carb, I cleaned it in that ultrasonic cleaner. Man, it cleaned that carb and all it's tiny passages out beautifully.

    31:55 Use a large wrench on that pin plate and force it to turn. You may also try to wedge a piece of steel against the inner frame and the plate, then force the wheel assembly to move agaist the obstruction...in effect 'turning' the pin inside the wheel frame.

    Thanks enjoy all your content. One trick my Dad taught me on king pins was to grind a small flat longitudinal spot on the pins at the grease hole exit point. tends to clog less and helps spread the grease. You can also go around the pin but take it easy doesn't need to be deep. Glad you couldn't hear me screaming "hit it, just hit the damn thing" when you jacked up on your home made press. Have a good day eh.

    For that kingpin...I saw a youtube video recently about penetrating fluids. Turns out the best is candle wax!!!! Heat it up, apply some wax so it melts and it will wick into the joint. Let it cool... In that video it worked WAY better than all the spray can products.

    Great work John on the maintenance, the king pins were a real fight. Just a FYI, just watched a power co. pro bring down a BIG dead Ash from the top down, and his method was a single cut starting at the side facing him and doing a 45* angle cut down and away from himself leaving the hinge wood on the side away from him. Then just gave a push away from the bucket and away it went, bout a 28" tree toward the bottom.

    That wrong lever moment very nicely demonstrated why a harness isn’t such a bad idea. To be fair, first hour of running a lift of any kind every move for me is as jerky as that. A tether for the chainsaw like the arborists use might also be a nice addition, nice to know that you can just let it go in case you suddenly need an extra hand.

    • @52Ford
      @52Ford 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tether anything you don't want to fall. I talked to a guy who worked on cell towers. I forgot if it was him or a buddy, but either way, one of them got up to the top of a large tower. Maybe 800 feet? 1,000 feet? Either way, they went to go grab a tool and dropped it. At that point you shout "Falling Tool" over the radio. Something like that. Everyone scatters, so they don't get a wrench through the noggin. Well, foreman or supervisor or whatever says, "Alright, come on down". They come on down. They're handed the fallen tool and they head for their truck. Foreman asked where they're going. They say "home". Foreman tells them the job isn't done, so they have to get back up there.
      How bad would that suck? Having to climb a 1,000 foot tower twice in a day because you dropped your 10mm socket. Look up "tower climbing" or something like that. It isn't like they just climb ladders.
      Tether your tools.

    I bought an old 42ft lift (trailer type). It has 10 hoses that are 60ft each that run from the bucket to the lower pump. So far I've had to replaced 8 and the other 2 will probably fail too but not until I'm working on site. Mine is loaded with red auto transmission oil which is a lot more expensive. Murphy's law is for real. Keep up the great work!

    John, I'm so glad you persevered with that mean king pin - it's a funny thing but I feel when you win, I win too! A comment on how involved I get in your videos. I'm guessing the hydraulic issue will be minor in comparison, maybe a tad on the expensive side to replace the oil. Thanks for your humour and (most of the time) calm demeanour, most of all, thanks for taking us along!

    Spent a ton of hours on these machines, amazed it didn't sink out of sight on the lawn! Lol, at work if we take them off pavement or hard pack they pretty much always belly themselves out.

    Genius to tie the jack to the unit. Awesome work! If you ever slow down, come visit us at the OBX. The drum bite is still good!

    I like these videos. You help me realize that I would have no patience to do any of this and would probably loose all of my digits.

    I would have liked to see the carb go into the ultrasonic, but it seems to be working ok. Keep up the great videos.
