3M (and others) make a cheap repair kit for transmissions. You actually insert them into your ears. Makes a huge difference...
Luckily for Matt he is working on his own stuff so can 'Let it develop'. You don't have that luxury working on customer machines. Keep both doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching.
The guys who work on the equipment I operate offer the same solution
"I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made the horn louder"
Hahahahaha
On creaky old machines with cast iron transmission cases like this unit, I recommend taking a big-ass magnet from an old electric motor and stick it on the side of the case near the bottom where it won’t get knocked off if you run over a log. And by “log”, of course I mean “hobo”.
Friend used to run a scrap yard and of course I could get all the magnets. Super handy for picking up nails & fasteners. 👍
Who else is rewatching classics like this episode?

I'm going through these vids again from way back one after another... Something about them has always been calming. Right now I'm facing putting my 5 year old dog to sleep... Right now what I need is something to keep me calm.
You are certainly putting a lot of trust into an ancient quarter turn electrical gauge.
Well, at least nobody drilled through a wiring harness.
True but Wes didn’t have to get too dirty … or wet LOL
Ha. I just watched that video last night.
I’m guessing that his drill bit was 6 to 8 inches long. He inadvertently aimed for center-mass! Nailed it!! 🥸
lolllll i saw that on work with wessssss lolll....john...u.k...
@@joeromanak8797 yup!
I just laughed way harder than I should've when we all got that oil bath. 🤣🤣🤣
I hope it didn't ruin your camera
What you mean? That camera works like well oiled machine now.
@@HVM_fi fucking hell 😂😂😂😂
'Please leave one screw! Please leave one screw - NOPE!'
i was thinking when he removed the last bolt from cover "this dude is going to get bath in transmission oil" and it actually ended just like i thought it would
Would be interesting to know the make and model of that oil-proof camera.
"grinder and paint make me the welder I aint" so true.
18:57 - Removing that cap has to be the funniest moment in all your videos!
That was hilarious. What did you expect Matt? You could see oil coming out of the top bolt hole. So funny. 😂 you would never be the Hatch opener on a Submarine 😂🇬🇧🔧
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek You were in work mode. Just zip off. Sometimes its a dry hole.
Matt you ever watch Marty T on UA-cam? Hes a New Zealand guy always fixing heavy equipment and doing a lot of the same kinda stuff you do. Thanks for the vid!
And he has pet rams! 🤣
Marty Is a legend!
@@_AFS05_ I thoroughly agree!
Marty T is awesome.
Marty t an this old tony
Amazing how well the picture held up after that oil bath. 😊👍👍
Matt, thanks for the hearty laughs you provided! We appreciate it when you don't edit out your mistakes, it shows that we're all human & make mistakes & learn from them. Hope you get the input about the bucket & quick attach. Glad you got so much done & look forward to the next video. As always, great job!
“Tune in today to Diesel Creek for another challenge of, ‘Spot That Problem.’”
Hahahaha
Matt that was great that you shared that flood when you opened the access panel on the tranny. I really enjoy how honest you are on your vids to show us that we’re all human. The best was when you then pointed out the drain plug. 🇨🇦
I had to actually Laugh out Loud on that one hahaha😄
It was a good chuckle
I jumped when that happened! Felt look a fool. 😆
It was funny when that happened. I had almost the same thing happen while working on a D8
If he spills enough oil, maybe he can live up to his name, Diesel Creek ;)
Tip for aligning the drain to the bottom: Draw a chalk line on the opposite side of the tire to know exactly where to stop for the drain.
Or just paint a dot on the tire with ground marking paint.
I was going tho say a similar thing, mark the tire where you can see it,and where it lines up with whichever fill
Hes
I love the name "Fat Alice". I guess I am a sucker for this kind of stuff.
Matt needs to get some hose crimping tools so that he can make his own hoses!
Exactly Colin Furze has his own.
That is the cheapest part of hydraulic hoses. It gets extremely expensive when it comes to the fittings that need to be in stock.
Alright who do we know who has contacts with a hose company? We need to get Matt sponsored with a hose cabinet!
@@dalestpirerre2756 you can just re-use the old fittings, all you need is an angle grinder and a steady hand to split the metal shell thats keeping the fitting in place
@@dalestpirerre2756 if he has the crimping tools, could he order the ends as needed, might mean a small wait on making the thing, but could save some money at £££ a hose.
A little paint or tape that would be on the top of the tire visable when the drain /fill is in the right position would have probably helped with getting in and out to see if the hubs were aligned
Good Idea...
Using the GoPro app in the cab while the camera is watching the wheel would work. Just not good when it's hot out because the cameras like to overheat and shut off, especially when using the app.
@@lennym1273 exactly
I was just coming here to suggest that.
Or chalk
When having to orient a wheel at a specific location, I've learned it's easiest to mark the outside of the tire with chalk. That way when you're in the cab, you can look at the tire as it comes around for a 1 or 2 as indicators of first and second stage of the task. Hopefully that helps in other applications too.
From the Pennsylvania mountains! Everyone have a Great Thanksgiving! God bless!
Lmao “that was bad!” As Matt opens a 4” inspection plate. Your face splattered in oil was priceless! Great video thanks for posting.
Nothing like sitting back on a chilly 33 degree morning and watching a Diesel Creek vid while working on the mornings half a pot of coffee.
Right on!
I am doing the same
Workin on winterizing my 3 tractors and watching diesel creek gives me so much motivation
Don't forget to clean the vents on the units that have them!.to keep seals from blowing out.
Love your videos, Matt. When draining differentials or "pumpkins", make sure the fill plug will come out before you remove the drain plug. I'm sure you verified that off camera, but wanted to make sure your viewers knew that trick. Really sucks to drain a gearbox and not be able to refill it.
Matt draining the first diff: Not too bad.
Diff: Entire ring gear falls out.
Hi Matt, for me it's absolutely okay, if you don't cover every step or trip you make. If you can enjoy yourself w/o camera, that's absolutely fine with me. As much as I love and enjoy your videos and can't really get enough of it, I think the more fun you have with or without camera, the longer we can enjoy you. Keep on, thanks for your videos!
22:10 High pressure means a relief valve isn't relieving or a passage downstream of the sensor/gauge is partially blocked. Red herring chasing plugged filters that, if anything, would cause a low pressure problem.
Also, some people have been known to shim the relief valves to get higher pressure.
The way that has been run hard with minimal maintenance, I would not doubt they shimmed the reliefs.
I know a few light duty machines people do that to, when the correct answer is to get a different machine that can actually handle the job.
(I'd rather adjust the reliefs to the low end of appropriate range. Less likely to break something.)
@@fhuber7507 Ye I'm the same way about backing the reliefs off below the breaking point of anything else. This shit ain't cheap even when it's old scrap like this and I don't have the pocketbook to be blowing pump seals and hydro lines all the time. Or potentially tip the thing over. I'd rather the relief valves kick in before any of that happens.
Holy smokes that Right Rear Tire Wobbling all over the place Matt 14:20 @Diesel Creek
As a farmer, man am I glad I have a friend that owns a shop that does hydraulic hose fabrication. I have an old Terex 72-61 Wheel loader I just replace all of the hydaulic lines on so I don't have to worry about a blowout on the job. Would have easily been a $4000 + project but instead I'm going to fill in a pond for my friend. I love the old barter system! Good catch on that one hose rubbing on the angle iron! Stuff like that can severly shorten their life. Oh and 18:56 ... I've been there before too. LOL
The deluge from the cover removal made me laugh, including your reaction. I admire your tenacity at tackling things. It actually helps encourage me to do things I would not try, thanks.
Man when you pulled that cover off and the fluid exploded out of there we felt your pain. Many of us have been on the wrong end of draining some thing and the after smell is always daunting
Mistakes what! mistakes you’re only human keep up the good UA-cam channel I enjoy watching it and don’t cost me nothing like it does you
Thank God Diesel Creek is on early Sunday morning it's like going to church for guy with mechanical skills.
😁
Church of the Creek.
Amen.
Matt when you change the final drive oil alone use a grease pen or chalk and mark the tread of the tire corresponding to the drain and fill. that way you can save some getting in and out of the cab. Even duct tape will work.
That's what I do, saves alot of up and down from the cab followed by alot of "Jesus f#king christ is it even turning" 😂
spray paint works as well!
You got the camera good Matt 😂 18:57 @Diesel Creek
AvE once talked about using a shop vac in one of his videos to the hydraulic tank fill port and creating a negative pressure allowing you to switch out hoses or plugs quickly. It does work it's saved me a headache a few times. Awesome video Matt
Works on cooling systems too 👍
You can buy an actual transducer for pretty cheap too, just hook air to it
That's pretty smart. As a friend of mine once said, sometimes it takes the janitor to show the engineer how to do things.
AvE is the man. He is my foul-mouthed Canadian hero.
Arduino versus Evil! (AvE) Uncle "fumblebuck" would approve.
I've seen Jon, Farmcraft101 do the same thing.
steve
New paint on Christine looks great! Maybe she'll finally start giving ya some love back
Hopefully we will see Christine next week. that would be great!
More likely she'll just up her killing game - 'Who is the fairest of them all?' and like that.
I caught a few peeks at her while he was under the loader and thought i was getting a good look too, then @ the 38 minute mark, she was almost shown in all her glory!! Lookin good she is
Run it Matt, it will last. You won’t stress load it that bad for prolonged periods. Those are tough ole loaders. Enjoy your your channel stay the course young man. Wes is a good resource.
My four year old son and I watch you every night at bedtime. You’ve inspired me to show him how to change the oil on our Honda CRV this weekend. Hopefully I pull it off!
Matt, I love your work. Don't get discouraged chasing subscribers. You ARE THE REAL DEAL buddy. Just keep on keepin on.
Suggestion for the next time you need to change the final drive oil: use a chalk line from the hub up and over the top of the tire.
I use safety orange ground marking paint. The temporary stuff that is almost like chalk. That way you can see it from the cab, and if it gets a bit wet it don't wash off *as* easy.
When you removed that cover, my first reaction was hell yeah.
Love the new Intro logo it feels like a level up or an achievement been unlocked
🤣👍🏼
Cool video. Hope we get some "abandonned church" rebuild soon.
The music at 9:15 ish gives me King of the Hill vibes, especially with the Timelapse. Great work, as usual!
Glad you enjoy it!
I thought the same thing.
My thoughts exactly!!
Same
Put that hour meter in the hole where the clutch pressure guage is and you won't have to worry what that transmission is doing😉
That’s right!
@@DieselCreek 😄
Howdyyawl from the land down under. She's an old loader, better than not having one😂. Look after it & it'll make life alot easier. One thing though, please wear safety glasses over looking glasses. Eye sight is very important. Enjoy your videos,
Another great video Matt, enjoyed watching this one, with a cuppa after welding and fixing on my old 74 Chevy dump truck.
Sure wish I could find some of the old machines cheap down here, like you do.
People want crazy money for old machines down here in AZ, even if they don't run and have been sitting for years.
Cheers
When you have a meet and greet the attention should be on the people that came to see you. Too many times people will travel from far away to meet their favorite youtuber only to see them more interested in filming than meeting people.
The acoustic version of the intro has really grown on me and I think I like it better than the electric version. Regardless, nothing better than coffee and a new DC video, thanks Matt.
Drone footage at the beginning is just gorgeous wow Matt 0:15 @Diesel Creek
Rewatching this classic and laughed just as hard as I did the first time I saw it. 🤣
this old loaders have a special place on my heart, my brother owned a few of those machines. great video as always my friend.
We don't have any old loaders but we do have a cat D25c end dump. It's an 80s model.
@@ronniewilliz153 these old caterpillar machines are a very good piece of equipament.
Matt-you may already have one but since you were always dealing with some type of fluid, you should look into getting/making a waste oil burner- One of the best things I ever got from my shop
Kuwait has it on sale now.
Mugs !!! I think it would be awesome to have a Thick mug from Diesel Creek that said CONTACT.
Matt, As odd as it is one of my favorite things in life is changing fluids that havent been changed in a long time, or ever, so the satisfaction I get from your videos is amazing. I like you often find myself asking a lot from things that had their best days many years, hours, and miles ago, so I look at changing fluids is me showing my appreciation.
Side note, there is, and always will be room in my heart for 7018.
That were some overdue servicing and repairs to your loader. It is now in a far better state, than it was when you gained ownership and every day should see another incremental improvement, it is good to see someone take care of their machines.
Suggestion: Next time you need to fill a wheel hub/final drive. Mark the outer corner of the tire with chalk or soap stone, to indicate where you want to be top. At most, now you will only have to lean out the door to see the mark.
You beat me to it. Didn't scroll down far enough ...
Really Rich Suggestion Thanx
Matt, you are very good at maintaining these machines!
Thanx for the show! :D
Thank again for coming to my home city and state it was great meeting you an every1 else!!!!!
I learned theough my own pain that gear oil gets in pretty much anything a whole lot better if you put the container it comes in in some boiling water before you try and squeeze it inside your equipment of choice.
In the summer, let it sit in the sun, in the winter heat it up in your cab.. Works wonders too.
Getting major king of the hill vibes from the soundtrack in the time lapse. Definitely dig it though I really enjoy your soundtracks that you put in with all your vids really ties the videos together
Great job on repairs!
Well done, Matt!
Really enjoyed the video, Matt. You’re doing a good job. Keep up the good work. Tiny Houston MS
As a pipe fitter who is familiar with flanges, I knew that removing all the bolts were a bad idea. Hahahaha. Thankfully all looks well.
Good video buddy!
Glad to see you here bud!
Excellent use of adjustable wrenches, too :D
Hey hank you got your crescent wrench screwdriver and pliers with you?????
Recently started tuning, and absolutely love the content. Down to earth, real equipment and tools. Awesome job.
Man that was a damn river of fluid!!! I did not expect that!!!! wow!!!
To position my planatary drain plug by myself, I took a 5ft piece of conduit, and mounted 2 magnet's to it. Put one on the bottom of the pipe, and the other higher up. Stick it to your rim where the drain is, and center it on the rim. Drive ahead until it is straight up and your golden! Luv your channel !! An old logger from VT.
I can hear Wes grunting about funnels throughout the whole gear drive refill.
Me and him were texting about bucket pumps when that was going on lol
The oil bath was refreshing! Keep up the great work and vids.
For me you done wel Matt, on this loader .have good day .
YES 51 minutes of machine fixing on a nice Sunday afternoon in Autumn :) Thanks Matt!
Good to see more and more of VGG getting into your vernacular...That 60 Camino revival was epic.
Love you Matt. Been watching for a long time. I know you are a humble, honest, and good family hard working man. More than enough for me. Keep it up and God bless...
Another Sunday evening of excellent entertainment. Relaxing and informative. Thanks for being one of the best on UA-cam.
When I was 16 & learning to fly, I worked as a Line Boy in a small town Airport in Michigan. Sometimes I had to add 90 Weight Engine Oil to the Pratt & Whitney Radial engines. Climbing out onto the wing to get to the Oil Tanks in the WINTER! On real cold days we would take the oil cases & set 'em on the heater in the Line Shack. For a Teenager, it was fun.
Keeping old stuff running (even if it is less fuel efficient than newer stuff) is environmentally sound.
Exactly. It also helps people that can't afford new which is usually over complicated and designed to fail. I've got 22 snowblowers I guarantee ready to go. Some I give away and some I make money on but it's a win win win. This summer I gave away 56 window ACs that people threw away that I bought from the town for $2 each which funds doggy treats and lollipops for the kids. Hopefully I'll be able, I don't have the space now, to start doing cars.
9:12 Is that your own little twist on the King of the Hill theme? It goes really well with the time lapses lol
Hi Matt,
Great video as always.
I'm in the same situation as you. I have an early 90's Deere 244E wheel loaded with pin on forks. I'm disassembling the fork mount and modifying it to fabricate a quick coupler to handle a snow blade, bucket and tha pallet forks. Used ones were not available, and a new one was, let's just say quite expensive.
A truly deserved like to this video! these old metal babies sure require attention and maintenance, but they also teach you a lot of technical knowledge and patience, while giving you that sense when your butt is in a machine you properly took care of with gallons of sweat and blood. Thank you for your efforts! greetings from Russia!
I watching you and I'm really happy to see how old machines get alive. Very clear, calming and beautiful video to watch in the autumn colder morning. Many thanks and greetings from Constanța, Romania! Keep going with your nicely job brother!🇲🇩🤝🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
I know this is a year later, but there is a chance that our company sold that machine when it was new. When we went out of business in '89, Jerry Tracey from Tracey Road Equipment in Syracuse bought a lot of our equipment. There weren't many Fiat Allis dealers in the country. If you still have the machine, our company was Prophett Equipment Company and there would have been a sticker on it somewhere. I've kinda been zooming in to see if I can see remnants of it. I enjoy your channel and those old things were a big part of my childhood.
Hey wats up I'm from jamaica, first time leaving a comment...I learn so much from your videos they help me out with so much thing. please continue with the wonderful content
I'm really glad I found this channel and I'm always glad to see a new video, fascinating to be able to watch a man just working away at projects thousands of miles away :)
I agree, from down here in Aussie
I gotta say, your plugs for KROIL are amazing and seemless.
It’s great stuff. Power plants use it on turbine bolts that are inches in diameter.
it's a bit over the top for me
I’m telling ya, KROIL a little or lot of heat does an amazing job of helping anything rusted or dry greased together. It definitely doesn’t work out for gauled parts. The last bit is just a joke though.
I hope he’s sponsored by Kroil because that stuff is freaking expensive.
@@BlindBatG34 I believe he said he was.
I run my own little hose fitting service in Scotland - love ur channel m8 keep up the work !
Brings back memories of the AC 645M I ran in the Army. Thanks for the fun.
When I worked in Prudoe Bay, there was snow buckets that had pockets (underneath) for the forks slid into and pins behind the up-tight of the fork to keep the bucket on. It would work for gravel, but not too rough with it ! Just a thought ! 🤔
Thought about that. Seems janky for my purposes
When I worked for a trucking company up in northern West Virginia we had the same size cat loader with forks. For winter snow removal we made a home made blade attachment for the end for the forks to slide into it with bolting clamps to hold it in place. It worked great for plowing and clearing driveways and parking lots. Just an idea for to think about adding to your great arsenal of equipment! =) Great work Matt its nice to see a great machine not going to waist. I enjoyed another great video! P.s.in the summer it worked great for grading also!
Great video, Matt. If you can see the tire tread from the drivers seat draw a line on the tires where you want to stop...makes it easy to spot.
Um, Matt. If you loosen all the bolts on the cover a turn, then pry out the bottom, it'll usually keep most of the fluid draining fairly straight down, and considerably more slowly. Just a thought. LOL Oh, or you could use the drain plug first. I also wear a shop rag tied around my wrist when working on any fluid container (gas/oil/coolant) to keep it off my armpits when working upside down. When it's cold, I usually put the lube container into a bucket and surround it with hot water. It sure makes it easier to pour! // The thrust bearing is a bad omen. Eek!
Everytime we watch you we learn so much. Plus hubby gets all enthused after a video and heads straight out to the shop to tinker. 🤩 keep up the good work! Loved the surprised gush of fluid everywhere. Priceless!
Yeah, that was a good one. I still fell like cleaning oil out of my nose and ears just from watching.
@@alexanderkupke920 🤣
I would have done the exact same thing but I would have thrown a few magnets in the bottom of the trans case just to try to keep the metal flakes contained somewhat. I love your attitude about things, sometimes you just have to let it ride and hope for the best...
WOW!! Matt was not expecting a complete bath when you took off that one side under the machine! what a mess, and then to find the broken welds as well, but at least it is all taken care of, and as long as she is still running, and works ok, your good to go!!..thanks for sharing.. would love at some point to see more of the farm..as for the back order on the lights, they could be on one of those biden shipping container boats that are still waiting in the log jam off the california coast...
Matt, thanks for this video. Always enjoy your videos.
*- Lot of work got done, that is for sure, Matt.*
*- I well understand the wisdom of not bothering with the transmission*
*- Just because putting things to right would be nice, I would like to see it done.*
*- Oh, and wouldn't it be nice to discover some better, affordable tires for Fat Alice {**3:03**}, too.*
I use marker paint too mark top of tyre so I can see from seat when drain plugs are lined up 👍
Or there is the option of pairing the camera with your phone so you can see what the camera sees. Captain Kleeman did this to align a clutch brake for easier removal.
Yep kinda do the same thing , I find a short piece of 2x4 laying around and a can of spray paint and then line the drain or fill plug up with the board and put a paint mark on the tire
Watching this video with the captions on it brilliant 😁 as soon as she fires into life the captions comes up in the corner [music] 🤣 absolutely perfect!
God bless you finally got a bucket pump... You were keeping me awake at night. Iknow there is no end to the tools to buy... but some tools are such game changers. Keep up the good work and dont pay too much attention to those that give you direction. Remember we are the ones "watching" and you are the one "doing". Every idiot has an opinion and no days everyone seems to think theirs is important.
