UBC what you need is A: a maintenance pit or B: have a concrete ramp built outside to raise the ASV`s up for easier maintenance......If I remember in a previous video you mentioned you are renting that property is there any chance the building owner would allow you to have a raised concrete platform outside that would be a lot better to pressure blow debris and pressure wash the machines.....Another great UBC insight video.....Stay Safe UBC
I live in Gainesville ga and just met a fellow with a asv120 with a mulching head on it, but not a fecon, point is until u actually c the 120 in person u don’t realize what a beast it really is!
Hi John on the farm i worked we had a 4 inch steel pipe with nozzels all the way along and when a vehicle or implement came in we parked it over the pipe turned on the water and ALL the muck from the bottom was removed. As your pressure is low a small tank and presurre pump will be needed. Saves lots of time. Regards Billy
Good change of pace, and necessary. Jon have you ever considered investing into a lift for the shop? It would make if much easier to work on the 120's and everything else you own. They're not that expensive; a 6-8 ton 2 post "Atlas" lift is approx $4k. A 120 is approx 11k lbs. so you'd be fine. *God bless.*
They need to retrofit a wire mesh or perforated plate to go between the fans and the condenser. Apparently the Condenser needs armor on both sides. And keep the good parts from the old fans to combine into one good one. They don’t take up much space so well worth keeping at the rate it appears you are going thru them. Definitely need AC in SC. Just my $.02.
Thanks for the look into your maintenance day. It’s also good to see Micah back and moving around well. He’s a great addition to the team. I couldn’t help but notice your fan problem. Looks like poor quality manufacturing did you in, ironically on one of the most expensive parts. If this video shows anything, it’s the beating your machines take. We usually don’t think of that when we watch you and the guys in action. What also amazed me was the amount of crap you removed from the machines. It really builds up. A fascinating look at what goes into keeping your machines in good condition.
AC issues: Maybe add a spacer between pusher fans and mount plate (- run an extra nut down the stud first?), to keep the blades slightly further away from the condenser. Might want to add a small foam gasket as well, to block the small gap that would be created around the edge of the fans.
Two US Army terms. Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and the wash rack. Armor crewman learn how keeping the tracks clean results in less unscheduled maintenance. We never let the mud get that hard. It results in excessive wear in track components.
Congrats on the new pressure washer should do a great job cleaning! Looks like the ac condenser fan was just brittle and grenaded a few blades off ,Didn’t look like there was no damage to the shroud below the fan, ? Are the fan shrouds plastic? Thanks for the video !👍👋
Thumbs up. I like People doing very propper Maintenance

I have looked into it, I just don't have the floor space for one.
@@UpstateBrushControl // Guess that would be a problem hey? ;)
It's hard to tell just how wide your shop is; anyway just a thought. Have a great week.
👍👍👍

Gotta have that AC for sure!
HIIII My friend BIG SMILE John what are you for the day .....? Let's see ...?
Very interesting and informative video , I do appreciate you showing this work .
Nice video and would love to see the cleanup with the pressure washer ! so satisfying !
this shop video's are a real bonus to your channel ! love it !
Enjoyed the show
Hey guys. I have the same pressure washer, be careful of the decals on your machines it will easily remove them when using heated water.
Noted. Thanks!
Good job guys
That was good. Wish I could’ve seen the pressure washing. Thanks for the video.👍
A new toy! Yahhhhhhhhhh!!
That new pressure washer is super sweet!
Got to look after that equipment and keep them regularly maintained. Nice job
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Could you install a heavy duty screen between the fans and the condenser?
Not sure, I'd have to look at it. Stuff would probably get trapped in it.
@@UpstateBrushControl , cheaper to remove debris than to replace another condenser. (parts & YOUR time). Just saying.

Gotta maintain the equipment so Upstate Brush Control Crew can ride again!!!

@RangieNZ...right on the money! Cheap and effective fix. I'd use the firm/solid foam stuff because it holds together much better.
Is that a new paint job on the Tahoe?!
Yes! Good eye! On the hood....and new wheel too!
can u please send some rain down to charleston.
Great job Jon, it all comes down to pay me now or pay me more later.
Preventive maintenance is so important!!
John, the two fans that you took off could be made into a good one to keep on the shelf just in case.
Good idea!
No torque wrench?
I've never been this early on a video.
Good work guys
Is that a Carhartt Hoodie I see......
Yes, it is.
What are you using in that sprayer to clean the fan housing
Degreaser.
...gotta keep 'em well maintained. good work, stay safe..

NICE pressure washer, I am jealous😭
What do you use to reduce the debris from going under the cab?
Do you have any problems with the ac fan screws coming out, constantly having to replace the screws.
Congrats on the new pressure washer should do a great job cleaning! Looks like the ac condenser fan was just brittle and grenaded a few blades off ,Didn’t look like there was no damage to the shroud below the fan, ? Are the fan shrouds plastic? Thanks for the video !👍👋
Yes, they are plastic
what year are these RT120F's?
2017 and 2020.
I know what happened, it’s plastic crap!!
