      most definitely, I get so excited to see women bust right through stereotypes.... whenever we put ourselves in a box, we give it a definition, and we limit our self… Our society and our people should never have been put in a box. It's quite literally the same as the ant when you draw a black marker around him in a circle and suddenly he's trapped. Innovation and finding out what your talents are are completely limited because of this. A perfect example of this is toxic ex President George Bush who is still living and found out only after all of his male ego died that he was actually a pretty good painter. Why does someone have to live their whole life before they find out they have talents, after they've broken free of image and the boundary and the definition and a box!!!!!!

    When I worked as a Mechanic I wore full coveralls and a rimless hat to protect your skin/hair and because they are loose fitting add to ease of movement. Less to wash and in the hot weather coveralls are cooler. In the winter they can be also be warmer if you wear clothes underneath. In a pinch visegrips are allright to use as a wrench but it can damage the thing that you are using them on so it is better to use a proper sized wrench. Great job girls!

    When replacing hydraulic lines, you don’t drain the hydraulic fluid unless you’re replacing the fluid.
    The only thing you need to do is ensure there is no line pressure. There will be hydraulic fluid in the lines regardless wether you drain it or not.
    In the future, you need to find a parts store that can make you hydraulic hoses. Will be less expensive than buying from manufacturers.

      They shouldn't have to the manufacturer should do it.
      It's in their best interest!
      The easier it is to repair & the better the engineering of the product is, the longer lasting it is. Which means it has a higher second hand value. If you know when you sell the tractor on after you have written it off against tax over 5 years you'll make more money. Then you know that money can be put towards your new unit. So the company who makes it can charge a higher price which gives a higher margin but also they can invest in better engineering & better support.
      Which why right to repair is no threat to companies that make well engineered, easy to repair products. It's only badly engineered products built cheap to give a big margin that need to stop right to repair, so they can hide their corruption & poor quality of the product and I am looking at you John Deere - you used to be proud of your engineering! Farmers used to be proud of buying good quality US engineering. Probably the same place Boeing has gone!
      Thankfully under Pat, Intel has woken up & becoming an engineering company again

    Van-wives. tip1: when doing mechanical work. 6 point sockets and wrenches are the preferred method of choice for removing and tightening grade 3 and up nuts and bolts. 12 point are used when your short on space when removing the bolts after they have loosened with a 6 point sockets or wrenches. The likelihood of stripping the bolts head decreases with less points. 6 points match the head of the nut or bolt. Tip 2: next time your at Home Depot or Lowe’s pick up a 1 1/4 inch black pipe from the plumbing isle. About 2 ft long. You can use it as an extension on the ratchet or wrench to give you better leverage when breaking a bolt loose or even tightening it. Tip:3 you can put a log under the bucket and push down to lift the tractor and then put jack Stands under the tractor to hold it up while working underneath

    Nice work!! Color-coding the lines is a great idea, since it seems the hoses disappear into channels and reappear in a different order. Zip-ties, tape and paint are all great choices. Please also get flare wrenches for those things. While they should be built 'tractor' tough, using Vise-Grip-type pliers, you run the risk of crushing and end, possibly making it so it'll never seal again. The saying around our house is 'any job worth doing is worth getting new tools for!' is applicable here. I'm sure you guys already use that saying for your house projects! 🙂

    Careful, when checking hydraulic lines for leaks use sections of cardboard, because the hydraulic oil under pressure in the lines can penetrate your skin. Well done ladies, patience and fresh skills learned, other parts of machine maintenance is where all the grease points are and greasing regular, engine oil changes, and the air cleaner/filter changes. These all keep your tractor in great condition plus making it more enjoyable to operate.

    On the flight home, my back seized. I spent two days in Paris with docs straightening me out so I could fly home to the States. Over a year of therapy followed just so I could play golf again.
    You've only one spine. You're young, and you don't feel the injury as much just now. I beg you not to abuse your back while it heals. By the time you're in your 50s, healing takes 3x as long, if you're lucky.
    Y'all are amazing. Take care, stay healthy, and keep kicking ass.

    Good job on the maintenance on Clementine. It helps to be able to do these jobs and save you money if you had to take it in to a shop. The knowledge is so powerful to have the skill and patience to maintain your equipment and this give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. Go Girls and Clemantine.

    Ahhhh, you got me at a time when I'm literally using an uninsulated water bottle and it's miserable. This summer heat is getting bad. Just bought two 32 oz off amazon, thanks for the discount and I'm glad I could support the channel in some way. Hope you are all doing well.

    Ossumn video content as always. (Helpful hint). You should always have a routine schedule maintenance program set up for each unit you have. ie lawnmower, pressure washer, chainsaw, tractor and vehicles. Keep a running log. When storing for winter drain the fuel from the units and the water from the pressure washer (water will freeze and damage the pump). You two are amazing to watch and are a great team. 😊👍💪

    OMG, that is totally my husband and I. We’re always doing our own car repair ourselves while checking UA-cam. Or we’ll take it to the mechanic and pay the inspection fee to see what’s wrong and then fix it ourselves. I don’t have any brothers, so my dad taught me car skills when I was a kid. It’s now coming to use. Lol

    Hi Ladies keep a maintenance log for the tractor and write down the engine hours when you do work in it. The number on a filter might become illegible over time. Keep records of part numbers too. Have a nice day. Tom at the NB-NS border.

    Kiddos, you should be proud, such a great job. Check your local farm and heavy equipment repair shops. ( If any) Sometimes you'll have a shop nearby that can make hydraulic hoses in a day or even while you wait. Usually make really high quality hoses and often cheaper than original equipment replacements. Thanks for all the work you're putting into the channel. be careful and be safe.

    I was so thinking that you should have put some paint on the drain so you could find it easily the next time you need to do a fluid change. Perhaps you should do it now that it is fresh in your mind that it is the middle bolt that is the drain? Good work, Ladies! Another lesson learned and repair and maintenance completed. Fun video today, thank you for taking us along.

    That is so positive!!! Enjoy Clementine now that you have her back on her feet. Thanks for the safety glasses tip, I always hated it underneath things because of the dirt in me eyes!! Duh,, How is those gardens? 25 yrs ago vesey's started selling a mini tiller called the Mantis. It changes hobby gardening.. Give em a look as they now come in many styles and sizes. If you tilled your beds, you would mix up those layers of ingredients, allowing the roots to grow. Because no roots = no plant growth. I'm sure you seen that pic with the hardwood tree showing it leafless on the top and its roots on the bottom of the pic. As above so below. If you check one of the marigolds and her roots are very small, I'd say you have time to pop em out , give a good till, replant those lil darling and feed them with an organic fertilizer that has a high middle number for root growth. just to make sure the plants are given 'er in the right direction.. 🐞🐞

    After you use it an hour or so you shoud go back under and make sure everything is tight and not leaking. And recheck you oil level, filling up the hoses and all usually lowers the oil level to a point it would be judicial to top it off again.

    Common sumps for Tractor transmission/ hydraulic system are pretty common. Howerver, you do not need to drain the tractor to change a hose. Just have a couple of drain pans for under where you disconnect the hoses. You want to relieve the pressure in system by moving the controls, with the tractor off.

    Here's a tip for pouring stuff out of a 5 gallon bucket. If you turn it so the spout is on the top side instead of the bottom, it won't be gurgling and you can make a smooth even pour. Makes for a cleaner less messy job. Your welcome

    Oooohhh, you are basically using the existing siding as sheathing under your new siding. Great idea. I'm guessing thin vertical boards for a Scandanavian look. Can't wait to find out!

    Also, Crystal, please take it easy. A back injury isn't like other injuries - even on a good day, it's still delicate. So please, please don't lift Jazmyn just yet? Pretty please? We're all rooting for you and hope to see you do amazing things for years to come... so please take it slow for a couple of months and think of it as an investment. Sending you so much love. 💖

    Great job girls learning on the job to do these easy maintenance jobs on our own and thank goodness for YOU TUBE U. I remember the days all there was where paper manuals. When you pour from a 5gallon pail turn the spout (the pouring end) 180 degrees so it’s on top not the bottom you’ll find it pours easier keep up the good work and learning
