If anyone does this with a door on and use the bucket to lift the machine make sure the hydraulics don't settle to a point where you can't open the door. I have seen someone that just curled the bucket down to lift the front up and the boom settled instead of the bucket and they almost weren't able to get the door open. This is by far the safer and smarter way to do it. Great video as always.
+steffan sedore Funny you should say that as it happened to me one time a few years ago. I had to use a broomstick through the side window to flip down the seat bar, push the buttons to start and operate the machine, then move the joystick to lift the machine back up so I could open the door. I would have had to go through the back window if that didn't work.

Great video thanks for sharing the knowledge
Any time! Glad you liked it!
What’s the difference between T190 with 4 idler rollers and 3 idler rollers?
I dunno? They came out suspension under the roller a few years after I bought mine in 08. Maybe they had more rollers?
Thanks for your time to do this!
Glad to share!
very good tip, thank you
+Ron4936 Thanks for watching Ron!

A floor jack works fine.

Fyi the tracks on that machine are on backwards! They are directional.

Not used to hearing you speak.
+John Kearns Thought I'd try something new. Hopefully I will improve with a little practice.
