Making center drilled greasable pins has helped a Kubota I use a lot, it had some points that needed grease and wasn't getting it. Shims like an excavator uses cut from plastic cutting boards can keep the dirt at bay as well.
07:30. You meant to say "counter-bore" not countersink" as they are two different things in machining. All in all, it's a great feeling when you fix up your own items and too are able to grease them up such as in this case.
No greasing at all? That's pretty sad.. An even more DIY approach would to get some shim material, figure out the precise interior dimension of the bore, and cut the sheet. Probably can only take out 80% using shim material, Think this would be cheaper and quicker but Might be satisfactory. I can always do a full replacement. like you show.
I also have a Scat Trak 1500 D skid steer.. Can you give me more info on where you got your Tilt Hydraulic Repair kits seals ? I cant find any anywhere. You said Local Hydraulic Shop.. Dont know if that is the name of it or it just a local shop.. Thank you very much..
It was a local shop near me that rebuilds cylinders and such. Did you try measuring your seals and looking for comparable seals online? If I remember right, these were some bastard metric seals. With mostly anything Scat Trak you are on your own when it comes to sourcing parts but there isnt anything I have needed and couldnt find yet.
@spankranchgarage I have not took cylinder apart yet. I was told I can measure each and find replacements. May have too do this. Yea had my Scat Trak fir 15 years. Only replaced wheel Bearing . control cables since I had it. Awesome Machine.
@@Dishtech48 Before you even take it apart measure your chrome rod. If its Metric it will be a little tougher to find seals. If it measure 1 1/4" or something I think they will be a lot easier to come up with.
Believe it or not they don't make the lower bushings greasable because of the amount of dirt that that area deals with the grease would actually attract more dirt and keep it there like sand paper compared to just leaving it dry .
Looks pretty dry, not a sign of grease lol Edit: non greaseable. I’d take the time to drill and tap some grease nipples Edit edit: Got the greaseable pins! Nice!

Good job, I bet it's nice to be able to build your own bushings
This is the kind of wear and tear you get when you don't give her the regular weekly wheelies that she requires
Great video! Short and to the point.
This was a great video. Keep up the good work man! And keep cracking the cold ones!
Job well done my friend I noticed you know you know how to handle you’re metal lathe and milling very well
Sometimes I've heard you should add some grease to the joints of heavy equipment. Probably just an old wives tale.
This was a very satisfying video
Impressive work!
Thanks a lot!
Great work!
Thank you!
Enjoyed this, maybe you could do a video on the quick attach levers, mine come loose often, and can you buy new parts for these models?
good job... and that wasnt a Butt light, I noticed :)
Not greaseable is sh!tty. I have a good video coming showing insane amounts of "slop". Great video

You are correct thank you!
@@spankranchgarage Keep on fixing!

What was the pin made of?
I just used cold rolled steel if I remember right. Its too soft for commercial use but for a homeowner machine it will last a long time.
06:20 for the scratches

See, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
Yet every other machine has greasable lower pins. Just grease it and it will last.
Where’s the dune buggy? Update? New motor? 🤷🏻♂️
Im diving into the buggy again in a few weeks. Ill be building it all winter with lots of content
When’s more le2 stuff coming
This winter. Fun projects gotta wait
Looks pretty dry, not a sign of grease lol
Edit: non greaseable.
I’d take the time to drill and tap some grease nipples
Edit edit:
Got the greaseable pins! Nice!
Hahaha I was watching these comment edits like “he didn’t watch long enough!!” Thanks!
