It is nice when you have a friend that is willing to travel a good distance to help you . This video just proves Mike is that kind of friend and a really good person just like you Chris.
@@FishFind3000 So DP drove 10 hours and took off 3 days of work just for subscribers, interesting!! I think it’s called ‘Merica where friends help friends and expect nothing in return.
While I'm so sorry that Barney didn't get fixed, the smiles & laughter that you two brought me were wonderful. When the video ended, I was sad it was so short. Imagine my surprise that it was a 40 min video. The time just flew by. Thanks for this. It was as enjoyable as I figured it would be. You guys rock.
Lol speaking of getting the cart before the horse when editing. I love watching let’s dig and dirt perfect. Can’t be any better than both in one video.
It's both amazing and gratifying to realize Mike drove hundreds of miles and took days off work to help a friend in need! I'm sorry it didn't work out but you both tried so very hard to make it happen.
I used to use a porta power ram between frame and rim to push the wheels off. That way I didn’t have to worry about things falling off the blocks. I guess you can always loosen the lugs and drive around in circles to break the rims loose. 😂
Hot tip: For greasy oily gloves find some fine dry dust and make like you're washing your hands in it, gloves on of course, the fine dust particles stick to and removes the grease, your gloves won't be clean but they won't be greasy either.
25 years ago, we were rebuilding a 1200 cfm screw type air end using all factory stock bearings. Got it all shimmed up properly and after tightening the last bolt, the thing was seized. Had it apart 3 more times using different factory bearings with the same results. Finally discovered that even though the Timken thrust bearing had the correct part number, there was a suffix number that indicated the end play tolerance. We had never seen it before nor had the factory. When we got bearings with the correct end play all worked well. Sometimes things don't go as planned, however, we keep getting smarter. Mike, put your ear protection on when you are using the impact wrench. At 80 years old, I now wear cochlear implants because I did not heed my warning. Great video, thanks.
It all seemed so much easier with an overhead crane…lol! When you upgrade the pole barn…make sure you add the crane to the new LD18 shop. Thanks for sharing Chris!
His air compressor is a cute hobby shop toy. To run that 1" impact you need about 10 times the CFM that one will produce and run a 3/4" air line to it.
Good head mounted lights work very well. I love them for mountain biking and working on things. Kinda easier than setting up and tearing down a light tower too.
Nice to see the two of you working together. Too bad about the seals or hub issue. But you will get it taken care of and feel good about the results. 👍👍
Now, there is a pair to draw to, what one can’t think of the other one will. Great to see you two working together, makes for a great video. Parts, more parts, then you get wrong parts, life in the fast lane. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Goodness what a job to take on. DP does a good job taking things apart! Seems like you're going to need different seals and spacers? Alot of work though. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey guys just wanted to let you know that this is a perfect example of neighbor helping neighbor and friend helping friend it is a true thing in a real thing it doesn’t always go the way we want but in the end we know it’s going to get done and done right awesome to see you to working together great job guys
Dump Truck Maintenance - well - it takes a little bid of Effort to take the Tire off - she is a Beast and Heavy ! Rebuilding the Drum with new Parts - looks like the "China" Seal did not fit - waiting on the Correct Part (Original Parts are always the Best) - ah - well - that's how the Cookie sometimes crumbles ! Looks like Part 2 of the Continuing Maintenance will come very soon ! Great Guys and Great Video ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Well Mike, looks like you have the beginnings of a mobile service rig 👍👍 I hate it when a repair that seemed to be on the road to a successful conclusion and then a simple part that doesn't fit shuts you down 😡🤬 Chris, you are lucky to have the friends you have 👍👍. I hope you bought Mike a really good dinner 😉
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻 love how you said dump truck coming in for a service love how Mike hit the tire love the things on the hub caps and how you said bed liner
You should get one of those to put on your truck. That has.,or get A fold up handle for safe storing.& Storage to compact inside of your trailer. That comes with those weed eater type of twist locking plastic turning knobs.&bolts for using.& Fast breakdown procedures when your done using your portable pressure washer that's gasoline powered setup.
Mike: "I gotta this concrete floor in my heated shop". Chris: "I got...plywood". Love it! You guys make a great team. Hope Barney is back up and running soon.
Massive tires on Barney, be safe when working on this. Complicated repair but so worth it; such a time saver on projects. Loved video. God's blessings and stay safe!
So awesome to see Chris and Mike working together again. Sadly China made parts threw a bent monkey wrench boxed and shiped by Murphy delivered by a gaggle of Gremlins into the mix so now Mike will have to come back to get his jackstands back. That's the consolation prize for us subs. We hope.
It's always great to see DP in NC. I love to watch both of your guys channels. I hate it didn't go as planned, but that's life. Most of my projects go the same way. Lol!! Can't wait to see it finished.
That is disappointing. Good to have friends like Dirt Perfect - great mate really. Safety - what's that - reminds me of farm life - use what you have. Always entertaining when the two of you are together.
Off the wall thought... I was rebuilding a Bench Top Planer last year... bearings, seals... and race...I put the shaft in the freezer... And yes... I know that wasn't an option for y'all... but I put the seals and bearing in the microwave... Now... before ya freak and say ya can't put metal in the microwave...mmmm yes ya can... I wrapped it in damp paper towels... popped it in the microwave, then when I put them together... they slid right on... all it takes is a couple thousandths of an in... and by freezing one, and heating the other... it worked perfect... the heating actually came from the steam created by the wet paper towels... Been watching you for years... Keep doing what you're doing!!! LOve it!!!
Great video Chris, you can definitely see DP is in his element, loves those dirty hands!! Barney will make it out of surgery just fine, you have a great team to put all the pieces back together. 💪👍🇺🇸
Somehow I ended up on this video of yours and my 2 year old daughter decided that this is what we were going to watch. I don’t do the field service routine anymore, but on jobs that exposed internals I’d just arrange to have a hot water pressure wash service clean the areas of interest the night before.
Kt3406E said his was 70 tons i think. Definetly bigger for sure. I was about to comment but noticed yours. Talk about night and day difference between the two machines. I forgot Chris had a volvo.
Ditch the ratchet strap and get a hefty (1/2") ratchet ROPE! Those things are way faster and easier to use than the finicky straps. They have been awesome to use!
Great design Volvo. Good job making sure the seal that is almost certainly going to fail in the environment they live in will also take out the brakes as well.
Hey Mike and Chris you need to increase the size of your airline to ur impact gun to 3/4 or 1/2 in at the least , not near enough volume of air as big a impact wrench as that IMHO. As always great videos and content .
Standard problems with overseas parts these days no quality control. But the blessings comes from having a TRUE FRIEND, that will not just throw it together.

Friendship aside I'm sure there's a labor rate.
@@neilpuckett359 doubt it. They know if will generate way more views. It's a win win for both of them
DP needs more subscribers so if he’s on someone else’s more popular channel he can get more subs faster by transfer.

Chris this a pure joy to see you and Mike together again.
you guys may already know this. make sure the vent on the banjo housing is clean .it can build up pressure and blow the seal.Stay Safe

Always a treat when Dirt Perfect is on site. Chris mentions video sequences may be off and we have one as an example. Still Enjoyed!!
Obviously added on purpose!
@@blahblahblahblah2933 lol
So used to it with clips like that it just seems normal now.
I WAS ALLWAYS REPAIRING CATS AND TRUCKS GROWING UP. But it was always in the mud or snow or rain. And the shower was at the end of the week!

Great video, thanks.
Always great to see the operators unafraid to repair their own equipment.. 👍 great work guys !
That mechanic is the kind that makes it all look easy, no stress. Good mechanics are soooo hard to find. Great vid!
Awesome Dirt Perfect came down to help. Chris it pays to have good friends.
Your damn lucky Mike didn't pack his stuff and leave the minute you spilled his Pepsi 😆
Reminds me of a day when I was lost in the puckerbrush northern Maine-I don’t know where I’m going but I’m making great time.
it's awesome to see the two of you working together such a treat!
Parts is parts .Love rhe video and would love to see the haul truck put back gether and hauling dirt. Big thanks to dirt perfect
Nice that you have a new (slightly used) TORQUE MULTIPLIER!! I would have LOVED seeing you use my Dad's old tool!!
What an adventure. Real pain when the parts are wrong. Thank you DP. Thank you Chris and have a great day.
Ole mikey. MR. D P HIMSELF ON THE SCENE. MY TWO FAVORITE HEAVY EQUIPMENT GUYS ON THE SAME VIDEO.
Just glad to see my truck getting some TLC .
Mike is top notch, and Chris called in the right guy for the job .... two good friends working together ... awesome !!!
I am glad you went the route you did on the parts. Take longer but it will be done right and hopefully last longer.
Nice throwback to putting the clips out of order. Love your videos!
Chris you and dirt perfect showed true to life it's better to wait and do it right and have a breakdown in the field later on great video
Nice video, it's nice to see chums with such an awesome friend ship.

“A little tappy tappy of the hammer” is usually, in my case, the precursor to trouble… really enjoyed this video!
Chris you and Mike did a great job getting those wheels off and the wheel seals done. Great job great videos
Mike ain't half bad when he ain't running his yap. Seems to be a fair mechanic as well. Hats off.
Best regards from Indiana.
