Best quote of the video “Whats the good of living out in the middle of nowhere if you can’t take your roller out for a rip at midnight”
Thanks Matt
Sounds like a new Diesel Creek t-shirt!
I mean, isn't that obvious? :)
The middle of nowhere is WHERE IT'S AT! I love country living, too.
Absolutely
I guarantee somebody heard that thing somewhere too!
Your roller is the ONLY vehicle I haven't seen you drive over your camera during your intro sequences......
Matt, when rebuilding hydraulic and injection pumps and anything with precision fit, act like your going into surgery.
Before disassembly, cap it and hit it with the parts washer big or little, bc dirt is your enemy.
I used to rebuild those Stanadyne pumps and cleanliness is the easiest thing you can do for the job.
Thanks for bringing us along, it makes the days go much easier.
Hidden leak for sure. Former hydraulic designer here, a common problem is that the return filter for the "free return" is clogged and that builds pressure that push the shaft seals out. Had many farmers forgetting to connect the return hose to their tractor as well, or it popped loose during seeding. That machine might have a return filter, worth checking..
This....if the weep line is blocked then in time the seal will pop, the seal is only intended to hold weep pressure not system pressure.
46:43 Miles away: "What's that sound?"
"Ugh, the neighbor is compacting in the middle of the night again."
"IT'S MIDNIGHT AND HE'S GOT HIS ROLLER GOING AGAIN!"
The exact reason they're living out in middle of nowhere so no one would roll their yard in the middle of the night.
They hear him rollin', they be hatin'.
OMG! What's that rumbling? Are we having an earthquake?
Nah, more like, "Hey, did we buy a vibrating bed?" "No, ol' Jimmy is compacting his driveway again.' "W"ll, it's kind of nice, roll over this way!)
A lot of credit to Matt for not only shooting interesting topics from creative and pleasant angles, but also for the quality of the editing. That’s got to take as much or more time than the projects themselves.
Hey Matt, I worked for a concrete sub most of my life doing roadwork over here in Ohio and most of the concrete suppliers use conveyors for the stone and sand in their batch plants. They have to replace those conveyor belts occasionally, they’re usually rubber belting 24” wide by however long. They would offer those to us if we had a need, because we used them all the time they were usually free but those belts have a number of uses. They’re great for rolling out on the concrete floor if we were driving heavy equipment in and out of our shop, especially with tracked equipment. Just a thought if you’d be interested in checking something like that out.
Hey Matt, thanks for giving my son jackson and I a few minuits of time at your D9 with you Sunday morning. We had a great time at the steam show both days. We really enjoy your videos. A little over 2 years ago I quit my job as a union electrician to do self employed excavation full time. This was in no small way influenced by you and Andrew Camerata's you tube content. Keep up the good work.
- Andrew and Jackson from Michigan
The filmography and editing is actually my favorite part of these videos. A lot of work and experience goes into the camera placement, lighting, sound quality, editing etc. and I really enjoy seeing Matt's approach evolve and grow over the years. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Absolutely. All that filming adds a lot of time to the project, for the benefit of us viewing. No end of appreciation!
I came to the comments to say exactly what you did so I won’t have to now!
Matt this was a particularly special episode re all the elements Erik mentioned.
I cant 2nd this more! I appriciate the work it takes to make a video that is fun and pleasant to watch.
Matt, what hardware & software do you use for your great editing?
Earlier today, I was bummed that there wasn't a diesel creek video to enjoy this weekend. Thanks for hooking us up!
I agree, im addicted to his videos! Anyone found a cure for this addiction?
Yup....find an auction
I was wondering too earlier today but then I just thought he might release it tomorrow well he released it abouh 10 o'clock tonight Eastern seaboard time
Dear Matt,
I happen to be an hydraulic service engineer. And the most important thing about sustaining hydraulics is cleanliness. That means: change filters at least annually and never, and I mean never!! leave lines or parts open for extended periods of time. Furthermore, the best part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. The down part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. Users tend to neglect maintenance because it always works. Until it doesn't and then you're in for a treat.. Don't extend filter replacements just because the clogging gauage isn't in the red yet. If it is in the red, the filter is already bypassing and dirt/particles are doing damage.
I greatly admire the (seemingly) fearless attitude you bring to tearing apart a new and unfamiliar machine and actually fixing it. Thanks for bring us all along on your adventure!
47:19 "honey did you forget to unplug something ? " no !
Then why is our bedroom vibrating 😂
That would be the Homewrecker 2000 Vibrator with the optional kickstand.
Like I told the wife when Harbor Freight sent out the add. Honey, this is a concrete vibrator,so don't get any ideas ...
BOB-Battery Operated Boy... never mind.
Matt, it looks like you have the ROLLS-Royce of rollers here!! And yes, this comment you made isn't lost on us...the fact that you claim you know nothing about that machine. BUT...what sets you apart from some of us, myself included, is you never allow that to be a failure. Your perseverance is what makes you special.
LOL it would be hilarious if Rolls-Royce did make a steamroller.
The "0"-ring mishap was priceless, we've ALL been there more than once -_- DOH!
i work on school busses for a living and we have an in house joke, even though the guy hasn't worked there for over 2 years any time a filter is over tight we joke that "Parr must've gotten ahold of this one" because he liked to overtighten the filters beyond stupidity. we've had to take an air chisel to a couple of them before.
There seems to be one like that *everywhere*. Ours is "Terry". (Terry F*ckwit)
Filters, level plugs, drain plugs, valves on the oxy bottles...
this and junkyard digs posting within a few minutes of each other. these are gonna be fun to watch
Especially for being a taxi driver on call in Germany and there's nothing going on here. Perfect for the night shift
Thanks for making me discover JD chanel !!
I m going to binge watch a lot of content hahaha
i just got done with theirs now its time to watch this one
@@brentbennett5401 I do the opposite... From DC to JD....
Read my mind
“I wanna reiterate the fact that I do not know what I’m doing “
Why do I feel like every single person who’s ever taken something apart has utter this same sentence, whether aloud or just in their own head. 😂😂😂
100% 😂 if you haven't you're blindly overconfident lol
Luckily ignorance can be cured! Matt now knows how to disassemble this pump; let him do it 30-40 more times and he'll be an expert.
U have no idea I'm a welder by trade I tore a aw4 jeep trans because I couldn't find any trans guy that wanted to do it I have now rebuilt 5 in our jeep club
I do that almost daily at work on my fleet of school buses. Every few years when I finally figure out the models I have, they upgrade them to newer ones and I start all over again.
@@jeremyhanna3852 So, what I'm hearing is "It is not a mistake to do it, just to let your friends know that you did it." LOL
Restoring to working condition - that is what is missing in this world today. Your channel is a joy to watch - love the house lot, the old barn (just time got away), and that roller will do you well. I grew up on a farm which had an old barn horse she/stalls. Made from the huge gum trees from the property. Those were the days before there were work horses and no electricity.
Good to see our Aussie made pumps made it all the way to the USA. I worked for MACNAUGHT’s AUS distributor for 25 years, great equipment. Nice work Matt
and then it was made ugly with the reman plate
Oil pump..not hydrolic pump ..😂
I hate to think how many times I've said "I might as well xxx while I'm here..." and gone down the rabbit hole never to be seen again, but Matt always recovers successfully.
Oh my god I couldn’t agree more lol
Mission creep.....I know it well!
Mine takes a lot of ADHD Swearing Fits and force but i get the Job done eventually😭😭
Might as well XXX while I'm here? what's that? make a porn movie?
Ripping a roller at Midnight!! Hell yeah!!!
This Ingersoll Rand Roller should be good for many more years with all the maintenance you did Great video as always Matt 46:08 @Diesel Creek
6:49 …. I’ve used a shop vac to hold a vacuum in the oil reservoir tank to hold the oil in the system whenever I need to open up the hydraulic system.
I have as well. There was no tank pressure luckily.
Another use for vaccum on fuel tank change valves bottom of tank.
Watched Farmcraft 101 ues that vac trick .
I have used the same idea to keep oil in an engine while replacing a oil pan plug gasket - found it at the bottom the drain pan after an oil change.
I really didn't want to have to drain the fresh oil.
Who doesn't love the sound of a packer roller running at midnight??? Thanks Matt. Take care & stay safe.
Might be worth taking that grill off the back putting it on the shop floor and rolling over it a few times, saves panel beating it straight.
That new seat is just so sweet Matt The Cadillac of seats compared to what you removed from the machine 28:00 @Diesel Creek
Does anyone else think this is the first real service this machine has had? Job well done, Matt.
On your hand rail, try using an old radiator hose as an isolator. Usually just need u bolt 1 size up. Piece of hose lasts about the whole year so you should get a few out of it.
These compactors have really dealt you some tough challenges
Matt, I just love how you have to confidence to take apart something like a mechanical hyro pump that you have never seen and don't even have manual or part # is amazing! You are like a superhero to me and motivate me to try new things beyond my comfort zone!
Good job on the newer roller, you are building quite a collection. BTW, advice from an old sailor, try to remember to dismount the machine on those vertical steps by facing the steps so you are sure where your feet are landing….
Hydraulic oil capacity is normally set to allow adequate time for the oil to deaerate properly. Good tank design helps.
I watch many rebuild and machinery maintenance videos but I often get bored half way through as they get tedious. Not so with Matt and Marty T in New Zealand. I really enjoyed this one in particular. Matt does a great job of explaining fully, yet succinctly and really has a knack of making it interesting. Good stuff and whilst I know little about rollers, I can see that you have made a good purchase there and it looks to be quite versatile.
Not sure just how long it is that I've been watching you Matt - it's certainly several years and yet you came out with - "We're goan t'need t'fix that!" - which could easily be your best tag for this channel!
Even with the expensive rebuild of the motor and extra works - $15,000 cost seems good value - especially bearing in mind what stuff is reaching at auction across the pond.
As for the noise making benefits of living out of town - one of my last jobs before retiring was in south London (might have mentioned it when you laid your shop floor) we powerfloated part of ours at 02:30 after the concrete company delivered late. Man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do eh?
I think I would change the hose restraint at the drum. It appears it could be straightened and tightened to keep the hoses inside the machine perimeter to protect them from contacting anything driving by.
The new shop's floor is STOUT!! It might be dirty but it stood up to that roller just fine! Nice to see a maintenance call go so smoothly! Screamin good deal on that!
You can roll with the vibration turned off.
Make sure the case drain hose is not restricted back to the tank. that is quite often the reason for the seal to leak.
Yes agreed, I hope Matt checked that.
I checked it just didn’t record thay
And if that caused the bulging hyd. motor seal and leak, why would that line get plugged? Maybe it should have a larger line, or if it has the same pressure as the main high pressure line's return, then why isn't it just plumbed near the motor into the main return??
@@larryelliott6321 Judging from the fact that the filters likely hadn't been replaced in a long time, and the hydraulic motor showing obvious signs of severe wear, I would imagine one of the hydraulic filters got plugged with metal & caused pressure to build up, breaking the seal.
Luckily this means the filter did it's job and prevented metal from contaminating everything, just at the cost of tons of hydraulic fluid filling up the drum lol.
@larryelliott6321 the drain line has zero pressure. It is supposed to return to tank above the fluid level and not share any other functions. If you share with the main return line there would be way too much case pressure.
Ya gotta love it with those filters having that semi permanent torque applied to them. Keep on giving us these service and repair videos. Thank You Matt
With as much road maintenance you need on your property, I think it is a great addition to your fleet. The pump was an expensive rebuild, but you did say you got a good deal on this so I assumed you factored in the cost of the repair in the overall price of the unit. Love the video Matt. Really enjoy your ability to just dig in and do it on whatever you are working on. All the best.
Yes a new video! You're making my nightshift much better, now. You're my favorite TH-cam Channel. Greetings from a german soldier!
Just remember, another man's junk is always some other guys treasure. Good score Matt!
Matt doesn't say "squirrel" and get distracted, he says "Dozer/Autocar/Roller". 🤣😂
It would be wise to check the drive motor on the other side of the drum to check that it's seal is not leaking too. It is great living away from everyone else so that you can work late. I do that a lot. Excellent video Matt.
Heck yeah! Diesel Creek Saturday Night!
Ouch, Matt!! @30:00, watching you reattach the hydraulic lines WITHOUT blowing out the case drain line was like watching the airplane mechanic hand tighten a fuel line before a test flight!
Maybe he just didn't show it? He said he was going to check it for obstructions.
@@isaacclark6749 Knowing Matt he did it , didn't film it 'cos it wasn't interesting enough. IE: no blockage.
as always, I really do appreciate the level of care and the long term thinking that you put into your machines! You do try not to take short cuts, and give them what they need to fully operational for the long run. Well done! As you probably know, it will serve you well in the long run!
Matt you are lord of the rollers.
One roller to roll them all , one roller to pack them; one roller to compact them all and in Matt’s shop one to repair them.
😊🇨🇦
Pacific Northwest Hillbilly just did a similar thing. His channel, this channel, CEE Engineering, and Farmcraft101 are by far my favorite channels in this genre. I'll never work on the same things as you guys, but i have leaned so much in either troubleshooting or fixing things that have gotten menout of some serious pinches. Oh i definitely cannot forget Andrew Camarata and Jesse Muller either. Yall are my heroes!
My favorites as well..🎉
Some paint would make that thing shine!
Check out Snowball Engineering
I'm waiting for Kurt to finish up the Frana Drift Crane project. The first run around the track with all four tires turning and burning will be epic.
That front face of the roller canopy is screaming out for a light bar :)
Matt..
I have learned over the years of watching that there's a place for each piece of machinery that you acquire. Whether you are saving it from the crusher or it's a vital part of your business to building your dream shop/house.
Just want to say thank you for taking us along for the ride very week, Matt. I know it takes a lot of time out of your day. My father was a heavy machinery field mechanic twenty years ago before an accident took his life, so I only have fleeting memories of him working on equipment. I just recently got to bring home his tools that have been in storage for twenty years because I now have a space for them to keep them safe, and watching your content has taught me a lot of what he was never able to. I'm itching to finally get my first project, so I can continue learning. Thank you.
Some new LED lights and she is perfect !
This machine is definitely a major asset to your fleet. A keeper for sure. Thanks for showing the fix and the full service. Cheers Steve🇦🇺
Matt rebuilding machines to make them fully useful again is a great thing.
Matt, one thing I’ve always wondered about your ADHD vs. my ADHD. How do you manage to keep track of, and get back to completing your projects? I love getting into the project, and I find my share of diversions along the way, but I struggle to finish them. You obviously have many balls in the air, and yet you’re able to make progress on all of them and get them done. It always impresses me when you jump forward several weeks amidst a project video and you’re able to start where you left off and complete the job. That’s a real challenge for me as I usually end up with multiple unfinished projects nagging at me. You’re an inspiration.
If i had to guess its because they are always sitting where he can see them, and he gets annoyed they arent working. At least thats how it works for me, ill look at an unfinished project for long enough it become a necessity to finish it lol
when was the last time you saw him actually complete a project? 🤣 minimum viable usableness is the core facet of the ADHD life, at least until hyperfixation
@@m1stertim the grader a while back and his excavator resto but past that basically nothing lol
you all haven't worked out yet that MATT answers no questions or reads comments as for projects finished ZERO that i have seen someone mentioned the excavator and grader really mate are they finished or just enough to get them to run and work for a while i'll leave you with those thoughts Cheers
Hey….a squirrel!!
C&C Equipment can make you a new rear grill for your roller. Have them customize it with your Diesel Creek name and logo in the grill.
New diesel creek on a Saturday night?! Yes please!
Any day with Diesel Creek episodes is a grat day!
I looked for this Saturday video all day!
Lol
I look forward to your videos. It's satisfying to see you get a piece of equipment fully functional and trustworthy again.
Early on you said that people in the comments would ask "How many rollers do you need?" I am a woodworker at heart and I get asked "How many wood clamps do you need?" My answer is always "All of them and probably more."
The answer is always - "Just a few more."
I’ve spotted this machine in the background of a few newer videos and now we finally get a video of it on its own, thanks Matt!!
I enjoy watching you videos. Love it when you "fearlessly" jump in head first. Learning curve is steep, but rewarding. Keep it up and thanks.
I love your enthusiasm! good video.
Looks great! Years of service left in her!
It’s amazing the amount of heavy equipment that you have acquired and repaired! Way to go Matt!
This video started with no leaves on the trees and finished with full foliage. Now that's perseverance.
There was only two days of work. Lots of days of waiting for a pump.
@@DieselCreekùuoo
@DieselCreek do you have a dozer and a tractor being delivered soon was on the back of a truck stop work the other day guy said he was bring to you?
@@lanebennett7204 nope 🤷🏼♂️
Awesome job as usual it's a pleasure watching you work 👏
Great diagnosis great results great video thanks Matt
Nice to see the shop looking lived in. Really enjoying the content.
Taking the roller out for a spin at midnight. Matt is living the dream! 😁
Looks and works great. You do great work.
Wow !!! What a great machine!!!! Roll on!!! Great content Matt!!
Matt’s on a different project. Tough to follow his various avenues of attack. Always a pleasure to watch
👍🇸🇪❤️
This was a very nice repair. She deserves a coat of paint!
I agree!
Nice looking Roller after the repairs. Thanks for the videos.
Nice work, Matt. Thanks for letting us watch and learn.
Saturday, better late than never
Motor is a radial piston. Pistons are connected to a swash plate. Hydrostatic motors are built the same except the swash plate angle is variable. This variability gives you more or less ground speed.I'm sure Wes or Scrappy can give you a much more indepth description. AL B.
That motor is axial piston not radial.
Oh yeah yer right.
That's a bummer, mate😂. Careful. This channel is infested with people who knows this trade more than your beloved Mr Wes. They are waiting in the comments section for someone to make a blunder.😂😂😂
Looks kinda like many types of A/C compressors also
great fix and definitely the machine to keep as it does a good job for the size of it footprint.
Really appreciate your channel. Thanks, Matt
Glad you didn't have too much trouble with this one. Looks like you found a keeper. I still like the little walk behind model you brought back to life.
Yeah, he might want to keep that one for trenching work.
The Kubota swap on that was one of the first DC videos I watched.
You should call it Goldilocks as it’s “Just right”. 👍👍
Great job Matt, there will always be a need for guys like you. Unlike a lot of younger people these days you are not afraid of work. Enjoy the channel.
Great video Matt! Thank you for posting 😀
"What good is it living in the middle of nowhere if cant take your roller for a rip at midnight." I couldn't have said it better myself. All hail the algorithm.
The wife will have something to say about that once the house is built and you both live there 😉
Great machine Matt. I admire your fortitude when getting your things fixed. Keep up the good work!
Been away for a week, first thing I did on my return tes binge watched the last two episodes of diesel creek 🙂 my favourite is the fixing of the old machines, never let it be said that you don't get your hands dirty Matt, great entertainment, even put up with the advertising as your content makes up for those, you need the advertising to pay for all the OIL that you go through. Thanks again, see more hopefully next week....
Love the fix it videos.
Um , Matt not finished yet you still have to stop the front grill from rattling ? , good work , Cheers. .
Brother Matt - I love the way you are most always willing to venture into the unknown tearing something apart. I’ve been there and continue to because basically I need it fixed and want to know what makes it tick. Well done taking us on this adventure and hope you continue because your videos always improve my day. Thanks
Its done and ready to roll!!! Good one sir!
oh! nice!! new dieselcreek video! and it looks like a good one! 49 minutes trying to fix a compactor!
Matt's wife , "where have you been, it's after midnight and your just getting home" . Matt , "I was out rolling dirt" LOL 😂
im sure she never worries about where he is.
Good job in scoring thay roller & edùcating me on disels equipment !! Take care matt God be with you !!! 🎉
We luv the way Matt. Fixes and plays with his TOYS...😊😊😊
It needs a cheapo LED light bar above your head on the ROPs.
The filmography and editing is actually my favorite part of these videos
Another nice job you do Matt 👏
Thanks for sharing 👍
Looks great, it’s amazing with a few passes of the roller can do
I had the Miller Lite on ice waiting on this video!
Now chewing my fingernails off while waiting on Matt to skin some knuckles on that Autocar 😅😊😂
