I just ran across your channel and it reminded me of the good old days when friends and family's worked together for the common good ! Your equipment looks well maintained and you all sound like you have been around the tool shed a few times. Great content great channel keep up the good work .Be blessed in all you do!
Just found he channel. I like the way you explain what you're doing and I GREATLY appreciate the family friendly tone. Nice to see these days. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
just come across your channel ,thanks to DP, just to say on leaving school I went to work in a garage, as we call them over here in the Uk, for 10 yrs , working on a mixture of cars,trucks tractors and farm machinery ,lots of things mechanical , also taught how to strip clean and reset injectors and phase and calibrate injector pumps , how to weld, all the things needed in a country garage. So I guess you can understand why I really enjoy these types of videos. I`ll certainly put you on my to watch list along with DP, Logger and Diesel Creek, oh! by the the way it`s now 23001.
Good to see someone not going bonsai on tightening their hoses! I retired from a hydraulic shop in Rensselaer a couple of years ago, and replaced a lot of fittings and hoses over the last 20 years, from people thinking they have to use a 4ft cheater bar on them. Nice vid!
Great job. You were definitely raised right if you can help someone else you do it. Tell dad great job raising you. Not many people are that way today. You're a good man. Keep it up.
Always easy to watch your videos. Yours is one of my favorites. It's always interesting and educational. I enjoy the detail you provide. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on the 23,000 subscribers. Brandon I like the way you explain why you do each thing in putting it back together. That was awesome when she fired up and started digging. Thanks again 👍🇺🇸
that was great how you got the john deere {hitachi} going once again. It was great that it was something not severe that failed. Right now probably it would be difficult to obtain a hydrochloric pump or a rebuild kit for one. Having the proper tools make such a difference in being able to repair heavy equipment. you work as a great team, taking care of things as they are needed, getting the repairs done quickly and correctly. thank you for the great video and all the help you give to those you know.
I wish I lived close to you we could help me out fix my vehicles because last 3 months I'm going going around in circles keep up good job I like your vehicle your videos
Good video, New subscriber as I like the wrenching videos. One tip would be if you could just speed up the boring / redundant parts of the job vs. the explanation and cut that part, it would be more entertaining IMO. maybe more editing work?
Excellent job on the details! Check out the Associated line of battery chargers. I have the 6-12-24 volt hand carry model 6010B and its sweet! Handles the old JD420c 6v, the Yanmar YFB-20 track dump 12v, and the Komatsu PC75uu-2 24v all in one nice unit! It weighs more than most of the roll around kind, more copper, bigger transformer, its a beast!
Hitachi and Deere entered into a joint venture in 1988. Deere wanted Hitachi's excavator components and Hitachi wanted Deere's Dealer network. In February 2022, the former joint venture factories will continue to manufacture Deere-branded construction excavators and forestry equipment; they will discontinue production of Hitachi-branded products and have begun a new license and supply agreements with Hitachi Construction Machinery.
If you don't mind, how do you set the clearance between the pump shaft and the crank shaft? I know that there must be clearance so the crank never shoves on the pump shaft.
From what I understand with the pump side all the way on just so it's not touching the pump face like I had it there is still plenty of room so it's not pushing on the crank or on the pump by design
We still have the T300 and still use it we had a opportunity with a promotional program through Becks seed to get the T870 so we jumped on it we have it on a lease program with a buy out at the end
One click ONLY with the torque wrench. It IS at torque the first time. The second click and you have overtorqued the fastener. (Run down and torque tools was my business.)
They originally said just buzz them tight with the impact but I wanted them tightened evenly so if they are a few ft lbs over It really won't hurt in this situation I understand what you saying and will consider it in the future thank you!
Did alittle bit of trading I fixed his excavator and he's going to cut 2 trees down that are dangerously close to the house he's a arborist by trade so no money exchanged worked out great
I am confused. I used to haul parts to the Aurora Illinois plant where they built excavators, never saw anything that said Mitsubishi. That was almost 10 yrs ago. Did something change?
Nice job now that I said that but in your rant about John Deere excavator's you never mentioned how Deere and hatchi are no longer together that probably doesn't make you happy though with your fondness for asian equipment lol ...

The New "A" Team. Great job. Amazing that the machine sat for a year because the dealers would not work on it.
Just found he channel. I like the way you explain what you're doing and I GREATLY appreciate the family friendly tone. Nice to see these days. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thank you for watching!! I definitely try to keep it family friendly!!
Good job! Thats great that you helped him out when these high priced per hour "professionals" wont even touch it. You guys made it look easy.
They wanted $25k to fix it told him he needed a reman complete pump lol thank you!!
@@dirtgrainsteel sounds about right, lol, wow!
that’s absurd… glad you were able to help him out…. And I’m sure it was at a neighborly price👍
@@zekesmith538 we did alittle bit of bartering and everyone was happy!
Nice to have friends help each other when no one else will, that's how you know you have a true friend. Great job dirt grain and steel.
I just started watching your channel and It's like old home week! The way it should be! Family & neighbors wrk
It's always a good feeling to help out a neighbor. It's a bonus when you can show up the full time shops!
Sure glad you guys took the time to help him out and get h back running.....
Love the old A-Team reference!!!!!
Thank you!!

Hammerhead tubes - the shock absorber hoses.

You should have got in and gave it a run. Enjoyed
Backwards controls lol
I was fulling expecting a short Austin Powers clip to be put in somewhere between the 8 and 9 minute mark, LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good video.
Thank you!
3 grown men and a shaft… things get pretty hot… great work…
In hydraulics your "Shock Absorber hose" is called an Accumulator . Nice job showing the assembly.
Attenuator hose, not accumulator.
@@rickjames6312 I've worked with hydraulics for over 30 years sir I think I might have a small pervue of hydraulic terminology
I also found this channel thanks to DP. I like it a lot.
Thank you!!

👍👍
Awesome
Thank you!
Placed my order for mess stoppers. Been looking for something like that for a while.
You will not be disappointed!!!
Excellent video! New to your channel.
Thank you!
im new and watching
The motto is so great!! HA!
Lol thank you!
Nice job buddy! Why don’t they have a vent valve for air on the hydro’s? Is it to much pressure?
Well the tank is vented....it's to much pressure at the pumps is my guess or it's just not nesscery after they are bled out
@@dirtgrainsteel thank you for your reply. Have a great day! 😎
How many hours did machine have??
John Deere and hitachi are no longer together
Hitachi and Deere entered into a joint venture in 1988. Deere wanted Hitachi's excavator components and Hitachi wanted Deere's Dealer network. In February 2022, the former joint venture factories will continue to manufacture Deere-branded construction excavators and forestry equipment; they will discontinue production of Hitachi-branded products and have begun a new license and supply agreements with Hitachi Construction Machinery.
I was wondering what that exact date was when they went together I knew it had to be in the in the 80's
@@dirtgrainsteel 1988 to 2022

Nice family project did you trade the t300 in explain if you don’t mine why you bought new thanks
We still have the T300 and still use it we had a opportunity with a promotional program through Becks seed to get the T870 so we jumped on it we have it on a lease program with a buy out at the end
Do do a good job very knowledgeable
Thank you!
Looking to buy a house out in the north Judson area and was wondering if you do driveways
Possibly
@@dirtgrainsteel is there a email that I can contact you about this

Want to come to Texas and replace a reverser in a 1970’s John Deere 310 backhoe?
That's along drive for me!
@@dirtgrainsteel good TH-cam content though… lol!!!
@@dirtgrainsteel good TH-cam content though… lol!!!
That machine was broke for a whole year before you guys fixed it?
Yeah actually it was lol
Should be engine oil in the pump drive gearbox. Gear oil will cause overheating.
Why don't you use a large socket and captain c o n
had to turn sound off good looks great thanks you talk to much
Ok jd box
How much did you charge for fixing it?
Did alittle bit of trading I fixed his excavator and he's going to cut 2 trees down that are dangerously close to the house he's a arborist by trade so no money exchanged worked out great

Cat excavators Mitsubishi
I am confused. I used to haul parts to the Aurora Illinois plant where they built excavators, never saw anything that said Mitsubishi. That was almost 10 yrs ago. Did something change?
@@dankreoger611 the larger ones are cat. 312 and smaller were Mitsubishi.
I thought only thr EL models were Mitsubishi I haven't really studied the Cat excavators
@@dirtgrainsteel I owned a 312cl. Mitsubishi with perkins engine.
