The mechanic was well trained in working on a Caterpillar. He used all three steps in getting something loose or taking it off. He started with the hammer, progressed to the chisel and when all else didn't work, he got out the smoke wrench and used it.
The fact that I just did this to my loader and it took a 1” air impact to get the segment bolts out and you did it with a 1/2 Milwaukee really upsets me😂😂
You may not be a mechanic, but you are sure handy with a wrench and an impact driver!😁That was actually very fun to watch. Changing the sprockets was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
Chris, on the filters, if you’re wanting to avoid making a mess, take a small center punch and punch a hole in the bottom or side of the filter before you take it off, and let that drain into a cup. Then when you take the filter off, it won’t spill everywhere.
That was a real good video Chris! I enjoy seeing the maintenence that goes into owning and operating the equipment. I was concerned about your truck until you said you needed to move away from it before testing the hydraulic lines on Betty's bucket. Thanks for the video,take care and God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
Chris, put a couple of gallons of Denatured Alcohol in your tank on the 953. This will kill the algae. Note that you will have to change the fuel filters a bit more frequently to make sure that you get it all out.
This is a pleasure to watch maintenance being done your equipment, although costly up front, long term its a money saver, and makes operating it so much nicer. I have had to work on equipment that was let go and run in to ground and It was a frustrating experience because everything was just a struggle, coming apart and reassembling. Nice job sir, thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching the process.
Chris, yesterday, Betty's bucked was sinking when you let it sit and when you were driving it. You might have a internal hydraulic seal problem or a valve issue. I love all your older equipment , they all fit a niche for your uses perfectly. Love seeing these repair video's too, you always do preventative repairs and it shows in how well your gear works dependably.

lol, the fire wrench, for when you are no longer "asking" for something to come off :-)
Sprocket segment changing sure looks a lot less frustrating than changing out one whole sprocket ring. All equipment should be like that.

That sprocket/gear design is pretty cool, no need to replace the entire chunk of steel.

Well done Chris! The old machines deserve the love. Be well sir.
The joys of owning equipment
I think you single handily keep your mechanic in business!😂
Just imagine, chris getting a manual JRB quick coupler for the track loaders… A brush grapple for the track loaders would be amazing!

Pretty good job getting all those segments changed given how worn the bolt heads were.
All made for great viewing bro, your toys sure have a great life with you looking after them the way you do. Safe travels. Ken.
Looks like everything went good as you could expect
