I leaned the vacuum cleaner trick from my dad who does plumbing and heating. They do that to replace the outlet valve on the bottom of fuel oil tanks. I've used it already on a cooling system to replace a heater valve or sensor and on fuel tanks and hydraulic tanks. You do need to be careful in some scenarios that you don't damage something from vaccume but it's a great tip.
Great to see the final results of your work. Great information for anyone who wants to correctly add power beyond hydraulic function to a 50 Series Oliver. Merry Christmas!
Nice job on that hose install Chris. When you was starting that first fitting with the vacuum running, I found myself saying "come on baby, start". Lol😅 Merry Christmas
Like the vacuum trick, good advice. Your sleeve looks great, but you may have issues with that hose under the seat, I did. I hope it works good for you. Have a good night!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Curled one on the left side, sorry! My White American 80 had the one under the seat blow when my son was running it. It was too long and rubbed a spot on the frame, he was drenched with hot hydraulic fluid!🥵
What a clever vacuum trick. The suction keeps the oil away from the hole, even more so then draining it I would think. Draining leaves residual by the hole. The hose sleeve is nice!
I have an air powered vacuum pump I have used to change fittings and hoses on 75 gallon hydraulic excavator hydraulic tanks. the thing is you to clean the area where you are working or the dirt will be sucked into the hydraulic system.
It would be neat if you could rig up some type of ball valve on that vacuum hose to regulate the amount of airflow to what you need. I know you probably don’t use this trick a lot, but it would be neat when you did.
The trick is finding enough vacuum to keep the oil in without creating so much turbulence that the oil splashes up enough to get sucked into the hose. Maybe some cheesecloth over the top to catch those droplets before they sail on in.
That hose sheath sure would have been nice years ago. Heck, zip ties would have been great. I have a name that is a more modern name for that fitting, Gender Neutral which means it could be both.
Yea, Chris, one has to find that "happy medium" in order to not suck up any oil. Doesn't take much to hold oil in place with a vacuum, not many understand that and yes, this is an old trick. I do highly recommend you still wrap those hoses, they'll rub and you'll be replacing them in short time. Yes, that sleeve will work and you're welcome for that suggestion. :P I tried to let you and Ross both know about wrapping hoses. :) Great video, cheers :)
The hoses that were on the loader and ran the same path had been on there for over 30 years and are still in good shape. I bet these age out before they wear out. Thanks for the input, and Merry Christmas!
I've never heard about the vacuum, I learn something new every time I watch your channel. It's true!! You can teach an old dog new tricks.
I read about it in a farm magazine years ago. Thanks!
It's an old trick that works. :)
I’m just as excited about the vintage PLVMB wrench and how good of shape it’s in!
Sharp eye! It doesn't get used too much.
Merry Christmas Chris… can’t wait to see what you have planned for us in 2025🎉😊
Merry Christmas! A plan? You give me too much credit. Lol

Thanks! And Merry Christmas !
Chris, that really makes the hydraulic lines look a lot neater I think 🤔 you manage keeping Ross from spoiling your job 🤣😂 thanks Michael
😆 🤣 😂 Tomorrow's video has more "Rossiness" to it.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours from the Great White North.
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas Chris and family. Enjoy watching your videos 👍🍻
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hose under the seat?

You definitely want to clean around the opening, or it will suck the dirt in, too!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris yeah I can see that happening

I should have mentioned that. Thanks!
It would be great if the sadness and the struggle bus would both stay in Indiana!
Spoiler alert, they don't. 😆
That hose wrap is kevlar. Tough stuff!
The listing calls it nylon, but I'd believe Kevlar. It cuts hard, and didn't melt as easy as nylon.
Now here in Indiana we cherish our sadness thank you 😂😂
😆 🤣 😂 tune in tomorrow, the sadness has migrated north for the winter.
Nice video Chris
Thanks!
G'day Chris awesome video mate
Thanks Mirphy!

Ross like. Hilarious
That DANGED ROSS has had a bad influence on Chris and others. He is the Rodney Dangerfield of tractor repairs, "I GET NO RESPECT"

Sure beats old radiator hose and hose clamps! Lol
Your vacuum trick really sucks. 😂
