DP and man behind the scenes are the New laurel and Hardy lol .... with a guest cameo every so often of capt kleeman ... which leads to the 3 stooges lol
Lol
@@DirtPerfect i also feel for jenna as "HR" she has to control this 3 ring circus .... also if we added logger to the mix of you 3 then poor old officer hoover might have to done his riot gear lol
Things often like to fall apart all at once, just gotta remember it won't always be that bad! When the going gets tough, the tough get going! This just proves you have what it takes to be a leader in this business, and I hope this inspires other people to take the bad things in life in stride. Things aren't always rainbows and sunshine!
It always happens in 3s
Thanks for your words of wisdom, I’ve been in the same business for 32 years and yes we all have the bad times from time to time !! I’m going through one now so reading your words help remind me that better days are always coming!!
you guys got the right attitude, I wish more heavy equipment owner's/operator's would not be so intimidated by transmissions/transfer cases/rear ends/transaxles etc. Break it down one part at a time and be patient and the learning experience can be just as rewarding as the fix. Even the guy's working on these every day are still learning, because the units are all different and treated differently/worn differently depending on the driver/operator. Good job, and hopefully the fix only takes one order of parts and one dismantle
Thanks appreciate that
Boy do i miss those days . I do agree with Aaron you are a bit of a cowboy on your equipment. Hope everything turns too the better .
This is what owning your own business is all about. People see you out working and how easy it is to run a tractor but this is the part they don't see. You having to work on and fix the equipment. You could have someone do it for you but then you don't make money, you just work to pay someone else to fix what you've broke. Gotta do what you gotta do to put and keep the money in your pocket. Great video. From NC,
Stay well. -Wil 👍
Never quit on a bad day. When the sun is shining, and everything is going good, and you still feel like quitting, then go for it!!
Guys, I really feel for you. everything you are trying to fix is heavy and nothing but headaches. I guess that is why it is so expensive to have to have a mechanic do it for you. I wish you all the best on your repairs, as that is all I can do are say.👍😊
Thanks Gary
@@DirtPerfect No thank you. Life is tuff for all right now. You two guys remind us to laugh and smile no natter what.
Hello Mike you guys remind me and my brother, he will tackle anything and very good at it. I would be lost with out him. Thank you so much for taking the time to video
Thanks for watching
Aaron Tyrannosaurus Rex had useless arms. His strength was his mouth. Reminds me of someone else. Lol God bless
Lol
Watching this reminded me of how we worked in the scrapyard work all day processing the scrap during the day then working on machines at night to get them running again it was hard but rewarding at the same time don’t get to dishearten
Thanks
dam that sucks when the air compressor go's down .. my pump went out got new pump then had to get a bigger motor to run the new pump ,, then had to run new power line to the compressor because the old one was to light of a wire ,, now 5 years later the pump is leaking oil everywhere ,, I moved almost a year ago new garage need a new power service installed .. they have a wire from the house 20 or 30 amp breaker , great video
God bless and be safe I have you all in my prayers
enjoyed that ,guys, last time I took a box out of a truck was in 1969,only difference being....now they are bigger ..a.lot bigger
Thanks Tom
My speaker went bad in my phone and can barely here you guys. On the next vid can you guys shout when you talke so I can here????? Lol. You guys don't need any sound. Your actions say it all !!!!! Love you guys keep em coming !!!!
lol sure
If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all!!! Gloom, despair and agony on me!!!!! (Hee Haw reference) Hang in there, hope it'll get better soon!!!!
It has become clear that Man Behind the Scenes (aka T-rex) is the most overutilized, overworked, underpaid, underappreciated Glue that holds this organization together! It simply would not function without his boundless knowledge, complete dedication, and never tiring hard work he selflessly puts into every aspect of the daily grind. You could double his pay, and still not be compensating him adequately! (ps. if you get a raise from this post, i will take 10%)
lol
You are so lucky to have Arron with you, you guys have become JACK of ALL TRADES and FIX ALL.
Yup
Keep up the work , great attitude, those Gremlin's come out all at one time..I have had those weeks, y'all will get it together and be ease of mind, and digging again!!
I wish that I would have seen this video a year ago, seeing you struggle thru trying to get that apart made me want to get a message to you. You needed to get the upper idler pin and gear removed to get the main shaft out, timing marks on the counter shaft drive gears are on the face of the gears which line up with the key ways in the counter shafts. With the c/s drive gear teeth properly marked you can install the drive gear with timing marks 180 Deg from each other then install input, s/ring, spacer and bearing. The main shaft assembly can be lifted out and in with the reverse gear snap ring out and gear slid over sliding clutch up against 1st gear. As I'm sure you have found out not having gears timed properly it binds up, auxiliary section is the same way, low gear and c/shafts are timed, installing aux section has to go on perfectly straight or it will bind up also. Also if you have a problem with a gearbox popping out of gear check out the shift cover closely, look at the detent springs for collapse and the detent ball bores at the bottom where the balls ride on the shift rails can elongate and make it kick out of gear, also check shift rails for grooving between detent cut outs on the rails. High mileage gearboxes can have a lot shift cover wear issues, shift blocks where the shift stick makes contact can become worn out along with stick and tower castings.
15:29 I felt that lmao when you hit ur side
We always call them pusher holes. Hate getting into stuff that should have them but dont. Have drilled and tapped many things to add pusher holes makes life way easier.
Dirt perfect is now clutch perfect And his little sidekick bam bam
😁
I don't know after working he reminds me more of Linus Van Pelt. Lol God bless
Haha Mr. Jack of all trades. Definitely a keeper hahaha
DIrt Perfect has morphed into Bolt Perfect. I thoroughly enjoy the repair videos. My favorite was the 120. I have learned a few new tricks.
Good lord man, when it rains, it pours... regarding repairs. As a line in an old "John Denver" song goes, "some days are diamond, and some days are gold"...
I am feeling your pain gentlemen...
Good video.
Thank you.
I know how you feel Mike, when major mechanical problems happen. My old R-model Mack is getting water in the engine oil. Mechanic says probably going to need an in-frame overhaul. My mom always used to say, "misery loves company". So here's some company. You are very courageous for tearing into that transmission like you did. Hope you get that jig saw puzzle back together again.
Good luck fixing your transmission and clutch Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron
It is really fun to see you guys aren’t afraid to tackle anything that breaks down and you are able to fix it like a pro. Nice work.
Dang Mike everything went wrong sorry for your luck but you won’t give up my friend I will pray for your luck get better keep getting it my friend Have I ever told you I had a garbage truck run over my back in 1994 it disable me it Hurt me me pretty bad but I got to keep going my friend you will get everything back going y’all be safe
That’s some hard work have done a bunch of them!!
Some days your're the wind shield and some days you're the bug!
lol
When it rains it pours, thank Goodness you have Aaron around for help and support. Kevin
You shoulda took some pics with your phone on each of the stages of dismantling the trans. I did my 1st rebuild of a Fuller 18spd myself, and my biggest problem (i didn't take any pics) was remembering how everything went when I had to wait for 2 weeks to get the thrust bearings that I needed. My PTO exploded (log truck) and sent shards all through the trans, so both counter shafts had to come out as well. Yep, I made up new swear words that week!!!!
Hi all
My grandfather was full of wise words.
Whenever I was struggling with a problem engine part .he would say to me you need to get the right tools to help .what's that i sead?
Willpower and perseverance. Those two guys always get the job done.
Your mechanical skill just keep on impressing DP. At least what we see on vidja. Lol.
Lol thanks
Torque's head have 6 points, and Allen wrench have 6 sides, the inside of a torque is a smaller allen. If you also replace the input shaft, you can take the old one attach it to a jack plate, using it as a clutch alignment tool and a way to lift that heavy shit up into place.
When it rains it pours, you'll make it through. 😎
My heart goes out to you both! What a soul destroying time you two have had. That said I have great faith in you to turn this around and to bring all your various "problem" pieces back to fully operational condition!! Don't you guys let me down!! No pressure then lol. Stay safe and well. Cheers from Scotland.
Thanks for sharing. Time in the shop can be frustrating and rewarding. Good to have (short-armed) help!! 'This is the throw out bearing' as DP casually throws it into a corner. LOL
lol thanks
There is an easy way to put the clutch in, put the clutch assembly onto the trans input shaft slid the trans into bell housing,start a couple of bell housing bolts then start all of the clutch mounting bolts thought the inspection cover. After there all in tighten them up, way easier then trying to line up the splines and pilot bearing. After I was shown once to do it this way it makes nicer
Yup have did that before not for sure it’s easier for me
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron
Thanks
I've worked on them macks for the last 15yrs. Them ch613 models are always fun to work on. The cxu613 are easier to pull a trans on imo. The ones I work on are dual equipped. But I know watch your going through. Keep up the great vids.
Can you fix these big mechanical issues with the aid of TH-cam only? Like if I start a landscaping and excavation company I want to be able to fix things like this which I enjoy doing just not sure if I could do something like this
Hello sir I have an 2016 cxu613 with an Mdrive tranny, the 5th and 10th is getting trouble, also de R1 in kicking when I try to get back. The 5 and 10 start failing after I replace the solenoid valve on the top of the trasmission. Can you help me ? Thanks
16:02 now there is some perfect dirt all over your back and hind quarters.
There's something to be said about a man with enough determination & will to do his own maintenance! EVERYONE I know that owns trucks, & has shop facilities to work on them would have farmed out the job of rebuilding that transmission and the cltch R&R too!
I see you gave MBTS a raise ( standing on a box ) aka T Rex 🦖🦖🦖🦖, I do hope everything does work out
Lol
I love it when Man Behind the Scenes has taken over managment. lol lol!!!
Best of luck with this, you two. Things can only get better; we;re all rooting for you out here !
Thanks
You got admire your perseverance and intestinal fortitude to deal with all those problems and not be cussing on air.
Lol thanks
Great video y'all have a great one and stay safe 👍
Thanks
Until today I wasn't aware Arron is your manager. I think most managers are really in the background and don't get any equipment hands on. But working with you and the OJT he gets has to be priceless, rewarding and just plain fun.
You and MBTS work like a well oil clock together … well like a well oiled transmission
Yeah running an older truck gets it done.Sure there is down time for repairs..When it gets depressing just go out to a dealership and price out a new or slightly used truck..
Good late night video lolol...
Oh,one little trick I use.I have an old piece of carpet that’s about 5x4 to throw on the garage floor to work on..doesn’t sound like a good tip,but at my age I can’t do without a bit of padding..Saves your knees ect.
Lol yup
👍 it's always an adventure at the Dirt Perfect alternate universe. Thanks for the vid.
Lol thanks for watching
You are one talented guy.
Thanks
Yep... that’s exactly the way it works.... my dad always used to say, “About the time you think you’re ahead, something happens to show you that you’re a behind!”
Did you ever think that this might be your equipment’s way of getting back at you for dating the Volvo while the 120 was laid up? Jealous machines are no joke... I once had a buddy who traded a Karman Ghiaa for a Beetle... it broke down every trip. I pointed out that the vehicle he traded was called Karma for a reason...
Well mike you proved you can dismantle a truck gearbox on a bench, hope it goes together a bit easier
Me to
When you said "it just needed a little TLC and some encouragement" I thought you were talking about MBTS
FYI if you take pto actuator off you can drain the trans from there and the pto
I had one of those days a couple weeks ago. Every thing I touched broke. Sometimes I feel like they come more often as I get older.
Over the years you accumulate more stuff so there is a greater likelihood that something will break down. That is why the older you get, the more stuff breaks down. Then after a while, your body starts in too.
Holly Hanna!! Well, the bright side is the fact that everything will be repaired, and you can just go to work! Which is all we really want to do, right! " just let me go to work already" 👍🎃
Lol. Good times! It's great you can work on your own equipment.
From experience, it's easier if you have a engine hoist with some chain to lower / raise it through the big square hole in the floorboard.
Hmm I don’t see that
I used to rebuild transmissions like that. Been a long time, but it's like riding a bike I never forget. Synchros on splitter is common wear item and the shifter collars wear. Other then that I've seen remans go million plus miles.
have the mack books too if you get stumped back when we had books
You guys are some damn hard workers
Thanks
Good luck guys, always seemed like the tri axle I used to drive broke down in some field far from the shop and rain or snow would start as soon as you climbed under it lol.
DP your knowledge of sooo many things is amazing. It might have been a while since you worked on some of the things you fix yet you still manage to get it done. MBTS is learning a lot, Mrs DP ought to fix both of you a steak dinner with all the fixings and throw in a beer or two.
Thanks Bert
The later show with dirt perfect and man behind the scenes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If your hoist goes down you’ll be out of business 😬. Seriously, you guys do amazing work and maintaining your own equipment is just part of your success. Good luck with everything and be careful!
Yes and thanks
I had to replace my clutch pads some years ago on the truck. The tras Man called me - said the box of new had 5. The clutch had 3 and 2 open. I advised I wanted all 5. From that day onward I had more power. The three were always slipping.
Seams to be coming apart not coming apart at the seams. Nice job guys.
You threw out the throw out bearing! You gents aren’t afraid to tear anything apart.
No sir
Thanks for the video video Mike.
Now that all of your maintenance is done, you should have some free time this winter!😄
Thanks for watching Paul
Sounds like a Monty Python routine "it burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp."
We run Stertil-Koni portable semi lifts that lift by the grabbing the tires. I’d talk Wade into buying a reconditioned set for his trucks and just borrow them.
👍
Impressive work!
Thanks
Yeh you will have those hellish spurts. Were nothing works right all cahos everything keeps breaking. I had that
Friday.
My 120c 05 excavator. Had the primer leaking bad. Then right after a hyd hose.
Then the over head door on the shop, even head lights dying on the truck to tol it off.
For some reason it seems to come in spurts
Yup they sure do
I wouldn't have a clue where to begin on a job like this, I can diagnose most common faults, can't fix most of them.......
I take my hat off to you two, a shed loads of hours put into this job, kicked in the teeth by other problems along the way. But you are getting it done Mike and Aaron 👍
( or more like you have, due to the time lag in the videos 😜)
Man, talk about bad luck Mike!
Good news though, you have the ability to repair all the breakdowns and get back to "fun and games" and making money again.
Great video my friend. Aaron is duly impressed with your talents and seems to enjoy the work variety. Work safe boys!
Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks buddy
Hope every thing gose wel Mike .
Holy smokes ! A videograph on how not to breakdown a transmission but, hats of for
"getterdone". P.S. I do hope you had the flywheel refaced ?
Looking good I just hope you got an input shaft the one that drives off the clutch cuz if you're that deep into it you might as well hopefully you machine the flywheel as always good luck enjoy your videos
Yup stay tuned
Great video I got my cdl through Elmer buchta trucking I don't recommend them to anyone lol but my health is not good so I've not been able to work for awhile can't wait for the next video god bless
A big👍for the MBTS comment of T-rex Arms, it gave me the first laugh of the day. Second another 👍 for the MBTS to recognize that DP is really a "Jack Of All Trades" I very much agree. MBTS is like a sponge wanting to learn.
I think the MBTS deserves a couple extra shims under the passenger seat for great comments.
DP I enjoy all you do interesting and fun.
lol thanks Tim
Late Nights With Man Behind the Scenes and Dirt Perfect sounds like a fantastic idea for a new channel
"No energy system can produce sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all energy systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future".
Thank You DP.
This comment gave me a headache. Lol.
I think you refer to something called, "efficiency" in your narrative. But our energy source, "the sun" defies this relationship.
Well as u know it never happens in 2s or 3s anymore it is just the whole system. Never fails. Well at least with the fire u didnt lose house shop and equipment. Cap saves the day. Cheer up guys. Great video. Glad when every thing is back and running and I know u will be too.
Just remember it's always sunny after a rainy day
Yup
I tried to fix a three speed manual transmission with over drive in a ford station wagon, ended up taking it to a transmission shop for repair.
My uncle bought and sold Mack trucks in Tempe, AZ
After seeing the battle you had removing the gearbox parts I think a loooong lunch is the way to go. That looks like hard work, glad it wasn't me doing it. All the best putting it all back together again.😀
Well now DP has done said a wordy durd.
Your going great guys ,dose Mack have a proper jacking frame to take the weight of the gear box to get it out without getting Hurd ,it would be worth investing in it would be cheaper than hospital bill seriously guys take care guys ,old jimmy Aust
I still haven’t figured out why Mack and Volvo engineers thought it was a good idea to put the rear engine mounts on the transmission. That just adds to the frustration of doing clutch work. All I can say about the transmission repair is watch your fingers cause I’ve mashed a few messing with those Fullers but it’s been a while since I’ve done it.
Yes it does
It was nice of you to get MBTS a block to stand on next to the table....
puy tow narrow nylon staps aroumd main saft lift up forward ,maybee.,all bearings front and rear have too come out or main shaft will not have enough room to come frwrd and up ,patience fortitude ,bleeding niuckles dont put big pry bars in side trans,
Eaton trans....? Mike I figured you would be gold dog Mack kinda guy 😎
Nope
There are times when nothing goes right but you will succeed I know that for sure. Dont forget it is 2020.
The joy's of owning machinery 🤬 To be honest only reason I'm watching this video now instead of tonight (I should be working) is that I'm trying to sort an electric fault on our lorry and came indoors to search for the wiring diagram - but saw you had uploaded a new video which has distracted me for the last half hour and so now I have to go back under the lorry and look again to remind myself of the part number 🤦♂️ A good distraction mind you - can you maybe publish part two tomorrow please so I get distracted again? (if any of my customers see this, I am joking - honest 🙄) Great video as always Mike 👏
lol sorry 😬
Hey Mike & Aaron, you two make All videos great with the bickering and chessy Comments. I sure hope after all this semi hard work you start greasing your throw out bearing as it looked awfully dry from a lack of maintenance, AKA periodically 😅 greasing it.😂
Thanks
