  • In this video I replace the main barrel broom on a Elgin pelican sweeper.
    I attribute my successes to god and give him the glory.
    “In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.”
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:1-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Lol tip. I replace these myself at my workplace. When putting the axle shaft back in. I little WD-40 around the rubber or into the tube. The shaft goes in like butter.

    Nice video Jason! I really enjoyed your sound effects of the sweeper sweeping along. Thanks for explaining how everything works, neat piece of equipment

      😄 I’m pretty good at the sound effects. I used to sing a song along with the music while patching pot holes and then spend a half hour trying to convince my helper how I sounded exactly like the singer.

      Thank you. It was actually easier then one I used to have to change on a backhoe attachment. That one was a fighter.

    It's interesting to see the wide range of equipment you work on. I see stuff like that all the time but it never really occurs to me that someone has to know how to maintain all that stuff!
    What do you do with the old brushes? I'll bet cattle farmers would like to have them as scratching posts for the cows. Thanks for the video!

      I’ve heard someone with pigs say they use one for them. It will either go to the transfer station or we also use it for sweeping lawns with the back hoe. They will grab it with the backhoe and sweep dirt and such off lawns.

      @@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic Amazing how stuff can be repurposed when it no longer serves its original use.

      I know what you mean. I have a hard time throwing out stuff that looks like I could use it for something.

    When installing the main broom use the in cab controls to raise or lower the side arm it to line it up and wont need a ratchet strap to lift it

    Using the water suppression is essential to keep the dust down and lubricate the brooms.

      I could get help if I asked but I don’t want to get out of practice doing it myself. I just swapped a dump body for a service body on a truck we got. A loader a lift and some ratchet straps got it done.

      My back has been ok, but my knees have been bothering me lately. It will usually come and go but it’s been pretty persistent this last week.
