A quick example video of the Uber Claw in action. Designed to pick up small things like screws and washers while still being tough enough to grab a damn car battery!

I rebuild an Ingersoll Rand air relay for the starter on one of my main engines. Over all it took about an hour once I hunted down a pick. Remember to always spay and neuter your pets.

Hi, can you please tell me what dimension is 15 thousands for the feeler gauge? I’m in Europe

Broo I need your help since I don't have the service manual for the EMD 710 and 710 3G engine, could you help me in advance, thank you
Nice work…. Now a helpful hint … use one bag per filter when removing the old filters put the bags around your hands … will keep your hands cleaner and less of a mess
Combien de mm pour l'admission et pour echappement
Epic Fred do you have videos of how to change oil in the EMD engine?
I don’t have a video, but for big engines like that you just pump the old oil out of the sump and pump new oil into it. Usually the same oil transfer pump is used for both operations.
Does anybody has videos on how to change oil in the same emd engine?
Ça me rappel les années1983 quand j'étais apprentis mécanicien au C.N. .Je connais la mécanique de EDM Électro Diesel . Même si j'ai fais autre chose dans ma vie , ça reste en nous moi j'ai bien apprécié ce passage .
Where does the oil from the filter housing drain to?
The sump for the engine.
@@epicfred Thanks!. New to these types of engines. Intriguing.

Here again in emd ville.
Engine space looks fairly clean. Good on you for keeping it as such. Ship shape.
Cool
Where is your hearing protection??!!??
Great video!
was the baltimore ship sabotaged
Dude. Thats one of those domino effect catastrophes like the El Faro or Deepwater Horizon. It started with a bunch of small things like dead or dying batteries on the e-gen, emergency steering not being tested, not properly going through the departure checks, not having a second generator online when transiting congested water ways, etc, etc. One domino fell and the rest followed, ending with a bridge. Im patiently waiting for the NTSB report.
what about the bridge accident
ty for the video bro... keep going!!!
Thank you for making this video
Engine porn
I eat. hqamburger.
need an power house.
Brings back memories of my deckhand /Tankerman days on towboats .
Why you need a generator to start an EMD engine? Is not better to start EMD with starter form batteries?
EMD engine is started by compressed air.
@@MiniCmaXwhy I see most of EMD started by starter not air(SD70Ace uses air but that is one of few)
hot up in there isnt it. lol
Hi please how much running hours you do this maintenance ?
Vous régler à combien pour les jeux o.25et 45 où comment
What is the change interval criteria? Hours, calendar, pressure drop?
using the old coolant is not a good idea.. you can see from the deposits in the pump housing that ist was over due for a change
I agree, but I didn’t have any extra coolant and the stuff is expensive so when I would ask for extra I would get one gallon at a time.
How much fuel filters do these have ? What improves if you have like 4 fuel filter in a row ?
There is a set of Racors, then the John Deere primary and secondary filters. So three in a row.
Sweet Music to Old Mechanics Ears ! Two stroke Detroit Diesels converted motor oil and diesel fuel into noise !
Hey buddy, can i ask you something about how to refill oil from that engine that you working on. Thanks.
toss straight out of the housing, into a 40 gallon trash can. but mine was a 12-567, with only 6 elements.
Thanks Buddy!
*PromoSM* ❗
Nice video but I wish you were doin a tutorial and explaining what your doin
Where is the thermostat?
in a housing on top of the engine in front of the valve cover
Thanks bro, I had a doubt about this, I have a JD combine with this engine and I'm going to check the pump
Way to go!!! It will take 10,000 of years for the brain washed world to finally realize that all of the restrictions and "Saving the planet" was a complete hoax by corporates to crate an artificial money grab at taxer's expense. One single volcanic eruption is equivalent to 30 years of human induced CO2.
John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:7 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Romans 3:23 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Job 12:7-9 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? Romans 10:9-10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. JOHN 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Great tip. Thank you! Also, your American flag is backwards. The blue field is always to the left for both horizontal and vertical hanging.
I will fix that, thanks man.
Hellow How do i know it is not working properly? My D399 is not starting its an air starter
1-Make sure the main air valve is open. 2-Maks sure the starter isn't stuck, there are no broken vanes in it, broken bearings etc. Rotate it by hand to check. 2- check if the air solenoid is functioning. Disconnect the air output line from it and see if air comes out when you manually accurate it. 3- reconnect the line from the air solenoid and accurate it by hand to see if the starter runs. If the starter runs when you accurate the solenoid by hand then you have an electrical issue, a pre lube lockout or something like that. If the starter does not run when you accurate the solenoid then you have an issue with the air relay. You can bypass it with a 1 1/2 inch ball valve if you need to start the engine in a pinch.
Thanks for your time i did replace the valve, i had one spare and the engine ran rigth away
Look into the disablity market. Over the years I,ve bought doozens of cheap ones. Would need some kind of clip to clip it to. Maybe talk to Zack from Jerry rig everything it might go well with his wheelchair
My thoughts are that the disability market is well taken car of in the terms of grabbers. There are tons of them for sale and they are all really cheap. And people use them to great success all the time when grabbing little things around their house. Where this (at least in my experience) doesn't translate well, is when these light duty implements are brought into shops, ships, factories, etcetera. I've worked in those environments and would try to pick up things that are over one pound, covered in oil or grease, apply torsional loads in an attempt to open a valve or something like that; and the disability grabbers failed most of the time. I would certainly sell one to someone who is disabled and wants one, but I designed it to be used in an industrial setting.
It needs a way to rotate the jaws 90 degrees too,
You actually can already do that with these. You have to loosen the set screws on the jaw body piece and you can rotate it up to 90 and even slightly past before anything binds up.
Glad I saw your post on Reddit. I wish you the best!
I was going to have my employer buy four of 'em but at the price I'll have to just get one for personal use. If it works well then maybe we'll replace the junky ones you get from the usual suspects.
I honestly didn’t think i would sell more than a handful a month, so I priced them accordingly to keep the project going. If this gains more traction then I will be able to tool ip in a more substantial way and greatly bring prices down. If that happens i’ll offer rebates or something like that to the people that were first to buy them. That said, email me. If you’re serious about a small bulk order I can work with you on price.
