- Working on replacing the trunnion bushing on Dirt Perfects 99 Mack. As typical shop work goes, we ran into a few problems, but nothing we couldn't fix with hard word and bad jokes. used the Mavic mini at the end for a random clip of a barge on the Ohio River. Hope to be out of the shop soon and back in the dirt!

I remember watching this job on Mike's channel. That was a lot of work. But the puppy dog is good to go for more hard work!
That's exactly what we called it, "rowing the boat." I have done many camel back bushing jobs having worked in the Mack shop for almost 22 years. I will never forget the day we got the hydraulic torque gun. The only day better than that was when we got the pneumatic torque wrench but just my luck I was no longer doing suspension work then. Keep up the good work on the Mack and if you ever have any questions about it just give me a shout, I know grey motor Mack's like the back of my hand!
JustKeepingItReal I’ll be sure to remember that. Always good to know people that have done for a living. Thanks for watching!
row row row your torque multiplier gently down the trunion bushing . . . Dude- that chain on the pipe thing is genius - way to go
Nice not hearing a lot of bickering. Nice job!😊
Making progress... kind of makes my trials and tribulations when installing a new air filter in my tractor seem like a a petty task!
Watching you tug the ‘safety’ chain reminded me...
Years ago, on a trip to Rancho Cucamonga I took a tour of what was billed as an Authentic Working Desert Ranch... they had a donkey hooked up to a beam that was turning a pump. As it walked around and around in a circle, water came out and dumped into an overhead trough. The trough poured into a tank about 20 feet away.
They told us that the water was used to water the horses. But, I took a close look at the tank. The cover was off of the side opposite the tourist stop. It had a false bottom in it.
From the top, it looked as if it held about 4ft of water. From the back you could see that it only held 6”. Beneath the bottom was a pipe that returned the water to the well.
My first thought was, “I bet they don’t let the donkey see the back side of the tank!”
Fortunately for you... closing the gap was something more concrete than filling a bottomless tank!
And once again, I enjoyed this presentation immensely!
William Harris you know the way the donkey would have felt had he caught that?
We’ve all had days like that...😂
Captain Kleeman yup... I know the feeling... I’ve had my share of days where I gave it all I had... only to find out it was all show and no GO!
Ain’t nothing light when working on heavy equipment.
You’ve made Officer Hoover’s job a little easier hopefully. Beautiful river shots there. I really enjoy your videos, thanks
John Myers thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoy the videos!
John Myers yes they did!!!
Y’all crack me up 😆 it doesn’t seem like “ work” when you have great guys to work with , hey teamwork makes the dream work right👍
My first video of yours excellent job, LOVE the Ohio river scene. I am close to the mighty Mississippi and I am amazed every time I see all that water that runs out. You guys are very lucky to have each other, I hope you all get to stay friends for many years.
Good job great vidja I love workin on vehicles keep up good work
Evan Deorous hey that’s good because I’m replacing the head gaskets in my outback this week! 😂. Thanks for watching!
DP leg flip torque multiplier model 7500 . Loving the tug boat and river shots
i wouldn't laugh at the way you came up and did the job .thats the fun thing about work .trying to figure out how to do it with what you have.nice job
casy casy thank you and thanks for watching!
great video, really like the shop 1's either at DP shop or yours's. yawl are really lucky to have each other as friends.
i dip the u-bolt threads in motor oil before i put them in place. makes cranking so much smoother with less chance of thread troubles. i wasnt laughing at the chain technique....i thought, "that sure is easier on the back!"
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS that’s a good tip on dipping in the engine oil! Thank you!
@@CaptainKleeman You need to use caution when needing a set torque on bolts because there's a big difference between dry torque and wet torque.
Great video it is nice working for someone that takes care of there equipment I give those type of people a lot of respect 👍🏻
RODDER 3647 exactly!
Fireman, Heavy Equipment Mechanic, totally just winging it lol, great job!
Man With A Plan thanks for watching sir!
Another great video. Thanks.
Cb Boggs thank you!
Mike is lucky to have you around. you work hard and do not complain, you are willing to tackle things you haven't done before. both of you seem to enoy working together
8aleph we’ve been working around each other in some capacity for almost 17 years. We just know how to get along and talk like adults when we don’t. Thanks for watching!
@@CaptainKleeman I retired in 2018 after 28 years with Tyson foods. you guys help me make through my day. I've discovered I'm not suited for not working. Before Tyson I was in the Air Force for 16 years
8aleph congratulations on your retirement and thank you for your service from the air port. Glad you’re tagging along with us and thank you for watching sir!
Great video Captain!
Good to see you and Mike, etc. working together and having some FUN as well as getting the Mack back to 100%. Great video edits, and sweet drone shots at the end!
Enjoy your weekend, work safe, and stay warm brother.
Doug@ the "ranch" (presently 15 degrees at the lake)
lakesideranch we are supposed to have a temp drop today. Rumor has it might actually start feeling like winter soon for us! Thanks for watching Doug!
Nice video, interesting to see how the truck went together. Great drone footage of the river. Take care, be safe.
Tom Bixby thanks for always stopping by and leaving a comment Tom! Means a lot. Catch ya on the next one!
You have to love Mack suspension work.
MLH Repairs LLC love seems like kind of a strong word here, doesn’t it? 😂
@@CaptainKleeman lol 😁
Great video Captain!
Andy B thank you!
Actually, i think that was a smart way to tighten this bolts. Also, you’ve got a great outlook on everything, that’s a blessing, and I am sure the guys love having that around on the long hard days you all put in.
John McCann thank you for the awesome comment and kind words. Hope you are having a great week friend!
Thanks captain !
mrbakerskatz No no, thank YOU!
thanks for river shots thyat made my day i would use anti sieze on those u bolts /nuts put some inside bore where bolt goes through on bottom cap never know when spring will break have to take off again i give those u bolts a wallop or two after tighting then retorque have great day glad i,m not there helping
Charlie Tanner that’s not a bad tip. Most of the time we just torch the u bolts off and put on new ones. But you’re right, you never know!
Great videos brother I am new to your channel I am learning a lot and am planning to a diesel technician and get my CDL thanks for the great videos thanks God bless and happy 2020
Lmao...... Giggity....great job
Robert b thank you!
Great video boy i was going to pick on you but not this time thanks for sharing it captain
ANDREW Shullick thanks for watching sir!
More comedy relief than help.
Drew6709 😂
Tech tip of the day, first you should have changed both the u bolts, looking at the threads of the one you kept it is plainly obvious those threads were stretched. Also lube the threads of the u bolts with red or blue grease. This will eliminate allot of the force tightening theses up, also when it comes time to remove, hopefully it will help. This is the exact reason why you lube head bolts for the same purpose, it eliminates the drag and allows you to get a more accurate torque without destroying the threads. Just my 2 cents, been doing this type of work for over 30 years.
Thanks
Great job done better to fix it than have the dot put you out of service till it's fixed along with a nice deposit to your state department by the way of a fine. Keep up the great videos
Kenny Mysak that’s absolutely right! Thanks for watching!
It's nice when the owner does the right thing and repairs right not half a$$.
Tony Peters exactly! I have worked for the other type of person...never again!
Was Mike thinking about being a dancer? Lmao.
Drew6709 hey he would be a good one
Before I retired I had a B61 with camel back suspension
Neville Koch have any photos of it?
@@CaptainKleeman I did have and they all got destroyed in a workshop fire along with the truck.
Neville Koch oh man, I hate to hear that.
Good stuff!
Mr. Dozerdennis thank you sir! You been working on your snow plow project anymore?
Not yet
When i done this springs i put the together on the ground and put them on that looks like a 50 or 40 mack rearends i love the 60 and if u cant fine the blue blocks to use in the spring blocks
Always hated working on truck suspension.
Reel McCoy it’s a job, that’s for sure. Thanks for watching!
you are a wizz captain
greg hurrell thanks for watching!
that's what they make 1 inch air wrenches for (the short type) you put anti-seize on the u-bolts before torqueing or you get bad readings because of the metal wanting to lock when you get the next turn.
I hate 2 piece saddles on macks...nice job hard do in the field
I like the idea of using the hoist to support the tools in the air. I bet you guys are all glad that job is done. Too bad DOTbear lives so far away from you guys.
great stuff a commentary that is real and to the point no B...shit
Kiwi 007 thank you and thanks for watching!
Let me introduce you to the 2 new members of the Derby Rowing Team.
It’s Mike and Mike otherwise known as Mike Squared on the comedy circuit.
Wayne Crews 😂😂. If we get a row boat the oars will have to have grips shaped like wrenches!
Row row row your boat.
Anthony Young that’s right!
Cap'n Mike, I think you found your new calling, HAND MODEL!!! Either that or personal trainer specializing in the rowing machine. Whatcha think?
Badgermatt75 2016 maybe even a combination hand model that helps promote rowing machines?!? 😂
Cant remember which philosopher made the statement, but it goes something like this. "Necessity is mother of all inventions" or laymen terms in which I prefer "poor man has poor ways" ol truck be ready for another million miles now. Hard to beat the education you getting, dont soak in it and drown captain absorb it all in.
Andy Moss I agree with both of those! Thanks for watching!
excellent video, with the new parts truck probably feels different, noticed 5th wheel was off, did they rebuild it too, or just remove it to make it easier to work on something? DP does take excellent care of his equipment, noticed chains and binders are always put in the rack when not in use. Like the drone video of barges.
DeWayne Gaskin he got a used fifth wheel to put on as well. Good eye!
there is a lot of work going into the old puppy dog and none of it looks easy the tugs at the end are great
Greg Neves it will all be worth it in the end. Glad you enjoyed the tug shots! Thanks for watchingz
WOW nylon how do they hold up something new I guess I helped my friend do his R model tandem dump he bought rubber encased steel sleeves worked out pretty good
Those walking beam suspensions can be labor intensive at times but for logging and construction they are hard to beat. That is a lot of hard work. I once drove an old R model the suspension was so worn out the rear would try and pass you........ Neat barge footage. I am in central Ga so our rivers arent big enough for barge traffic. That is some great looking farm land too.
Johnny Holland exactly, perfect suspension for the type of trucking we do. Well I’ll try and get some more shots of barge traffic. We have some cool rows come through every now and then. Thanks for watching!
you should be using anti seize grease will make everything go smooth.doing dry triples the work and you strip threads.
Hey captain what river is that. Like DP leg move it helps when you need that xtra pull THANKS MECHANIC CAPTAIN🔧🔨😜😀
Terry Reynolds that’s the mighty Ohio! The leg flail is an essential mechanic move! 😂
Where i work a long pipe is called a torque multiplier!
capt you shoulda used the song row row row ya boat when doing the time lapse of u tourqing
Charles Serong should have! 😂
Should be able to put a larger diameter airline on you impact run those up all the way .... done lots of camel backs good fun
Michael Childress used what we had. Thanks for watching!
Done a good job hope it didn't sound like a nitpick its not an easy project m
Michael Childress it’s all good! Trust me, the whole time in my head I’m thinking of other tools that people use for this job. But it’s a once in six year job for us ya know what I mean.
You had the outside collar between the trunion caps that's why u couldn't close the gaps the
Axles were shifted over
FINALDRIVEGUY the trunion cap fits around that collar. That’s where she is supposed to be. Good and tight. Thanks for watching!
of course they have auto torque kits now.
A Proto 18:1 torque multiplier would be much easier for jobs like that. I’ve used this particular one in the oil field on seriously large equipment such as mud pumps and EMD engines.
grease on threads maybe ??
Working clever. Nowt wrong with that 👍🏻
Andrew Field thanks for watching!
Good thing you only did one side...you would have to buy new shirts to hold your muscles and change your name to Popeye.
Danny Fults hahaha, mike still did the other side with Aaron. I don’t think any shirts ripped though!
What river is that? I love watching those tugs working with the barges. That's cool.
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator that’s the mighty Ohio! I plan on trying to add in shots like that in the end of the videos if people like it. So far it seems to be going over well! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Captain Kleeman that would be great
Who needs a gym, just go rowing while doing heavy equipment repairs. Captain, thought of being in a dragon boat race? Lol.
Drew6709 we could do a boat race across the river maybe!
Ahoy Captain
Murphy Law ahoy sir! Weekend off to a good start I do hope!
@@CaptainKleeman Yes it is mate thanks
that is fun i done that before.
Earl's Life you felt the back pain through the video didn’t you!
yes i did and i did it all by hand
Looks like you need too build a rowing boat as well so you can keep your strength up for working on the Mack, is this before his comments on S.O.T live feed today as said don't want to talk about it?
barry hansen hahaha, oh this puppy dog has had several tricks up her sleeve. Through us all for a loop. It’s an understatement to say he is ready for her to be back on the road
You guys do good work. I was wondering what brand of axle and suspension are on that truck.
Thank you
Gregg B everything on that Mack is all mack to best of my knowledge, I know the camel back suspension is and I’m pretty sure at that time frame they made their own axles as well.
Captain Kleeman Ok, thank you for responding back. You commented about Mike keeping up on and taking care of equipment.
My dad drove a log truck for 30yrs, and the guy he drove for was very meticulous about maintenance. My dad was very happy & proud to work for him, as he had worked for a couple prior that pretty much had junk.
Why couldn't you just run those saddle cap nuts in all the way with the impact? Good job getting it done tho! 💪
Dirt Boss Tri-County Masonry & Excavating impact won’t run them! I ran them as far as I could with. Trust me, if I could have, I would have! Gotta get those row reps in though. How’s the new dozer working out? Can’t wait for a video of her pushing some big dirt.
@@CaptainKleeman yeah definitely a work out! Dozers sleeping 8° & snowing here 🙄
1 inch short impact. At 180psi of will do the job.
I enjoy your vids Cap. I'll be passing through in a few weeks on my tug ( M/V Melvin R Todd) and I'll keep in touch, maybe get a feature at the end if one of your vids.
Jeff White that would be awesome! Yes please keep in Touch as the trip progresses. Maybe I can get some info from you on how your schedule works as well to add in on the feature. Would love to do a drone flight! Thanks for reaching out Jeff!
I work 28days on and 14 days off which typically ends up 29/13. You loose a lot of time traveling as I live in Tx.
When on the boat, we work 6hrs on/6off rotation.
When we get closer I'll send you info on the boat I'll be on.
At least he didn't have to replace any mirrors on this truck......
Chris Helms very true!
You know when the pipe come out somebody is either hitting the hard stuff or things are getting real.
Brian T with out a doubt.
Would it be possible to hook up the impact wrench to the torque multiplier apparatus. Keep from doing all that rowing. Also use never-seize compound on the threads of the "U" bolts.
David Morse no, says on the tool
Not to, the way the sun gears are inside the torque multiplier, they would end up getting shattered. Good thought though!
@@CaptainKleeman How about a drill motor then?
David Morse they make electric torque multipliers, we just don’t own one and we don’t have an electric drill or air drill that size. We worked with what we had and got it done with a smile on your face. Can’t ask for much more than that. Thanks for looking out though!
@@CaptainKleeman I understand and appreciate your work ethic. Thanks for the informative video.
1 inch drive impact wrench
You guys most likely tightened the nut too much and broke it. Nuts can only handle so much squeeze.
Man I've done lots of those
John McLaurin loves every minute right?
Looking good the old puppy dog will be ready for next season how are you liking the new drone ?
Nick Popelka really really like it. Very user friendly. Would recommend it for sure!
@@CaptainKleeman well that's what I wanted to hear I bought the same one after seeing you with yours we will see monday cant wait
Nick Popelka keep us posted!
ESTAN MUY BUENOS LOS VIDEOS SON BASTANTE EDUCATIVOS Y SE APRENDE PERO DEBERIAN DE HACERLO PARA EL LATINO PARA PODER ENTENDER LO QUE EXPLICA
I now know why my bill was 745 for the shop to replace those bushings and a universal joint
southerndirt 95 it all makes sense now!
How often does the trunion bushing need replaced?
Jeffrey Wrightsman not very often for us. We don’t run OTR; just local job sites. For us it’s about e dry six years. But I can check with mike to see the exact mileage.
Please forgive my ignorance, but there's something I just have to ask. Seeing the springs on that truck, are those (what appears to be) shock absorbers doing anything to actually help the ride? Seems like shooting a bb gun at a freight train to me.
Mike Lilly this is called a camel back suspension, it’s known for riding rough on OTR trips. Made more for “off road” driving such as job sites or small county roads like we do a lot off. Mostly all of the force is taken though the leaf springs which is why the U-bolts that hold them together have to be torqued so high. As far as the gas shocks, I can’t imagine they offer a lot as far as ride comfort, my best guess is they work to keep a little extra downforce on the drives when the suspension is being flexed and help the leaves stay in the correct ride position when the suspension travels. But that’s just a guess. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
@@CaptainKleeman I believe you are correct that they help keep the tires on the road. I say this because good tire guys have told me this when looking at tires.
I was thinking a tie down strap would be easier
Time Table worked pretty well. Thanks for watching!
your a great worker, do you ever sleep?
ec1414ec I’ve been known to sneak a nap in from time to time. 😂
You said tirelessly. Does that mean you took off the front tires too?
Papaw dang it, I missed the chance for a good pun...but you had my back on it!
I have a tip: don't fry bacon naked!
Curtis Ricks that sir is an excellent tip!
AND THE SPRAY STUFF
WHY DON'T YA JUST
PIZZ ON IT YA NEED SOME GOOD OL THICK STUFF ON THEM THREADS OH ABD THE WASHER CONTACT POINT ANY PLACE THERE'S CONTACT OR SLIDING ROCKIN ROBIN OVER N OUT N MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL
I’m not making fun of the way you done it. It was smart
Improperly cut threads on u bolts and pushrods on chamber can piss you off!!
PUNISHMENT
Hank Clingingsmith can’t be when ya love what ya do!
how about some lubiedubie (anti sieze) on that nut?
So you all are playing with Dirt Perfect’s Nuts???
Dot Bear Woodworking we do what we get paid to do...😂
Work IS the shortcut. A big hammer is the OTHER shortcut?
Or is it the "leg flail" move?!? You guys are the best :-)
Tim Brown absolutely!
Tim Brown a big hammer WITH the leg flail!
You didn't use lube. Always use lube
Dale olson I sure did...in fact...I believe I made a joke about always using lube. No dry nuts here! 😂
giggity
BurningDinosaurs yep
Y’all crack me up 😆 it doesn’t seem like “ work” when you have great guys to work with , hey teamwork makes the dream work right👍
Metal Fabulous that’s absolutely right! Thanks for watching!
