Morning Mike, the proper way to torque the bolts you can only get the wrench on is to use the wrench and make a clicking sound when you think it’s tight enough. Good work
Growing up on a small farm in Kansas we didn't have a torque wrench. When we asked Dad how tight to tighten a bolt he always said a quarter turn from twisting it off.
"Organizational skills" he says... Never have I had such things... :-( . That is one lucky tractor! Its a thing of beauty and a wonder to behold there Bud! And there you go with the one take outro FOR THE WIN!!!
O’ Cap’n… torquing those hard to get at bolts and nuts to spec, is so simple, I am surprised you didn’t think of it! All you need is a combination wrench, a fish scale and a calculator! If the length of the wrench is half a foot, you might be able to do the math in your head… eliminating the need to use the calculator. You can substitute for the fish scale if you rig up a pulley, ropes and weights. O’ Cap’n, the possibilities are endless! Of course you could just do it like I do… and click with your tongue when your brain knows it is tight! Thanks for pointing out the rust preventive qualities of a generous bath in oil or grease… every time my wife gets around my baby backhoe, she rubs against a lubed joint. That precipitates a conversation about how messy I am with grease… last summer it even brought about a whole package of shop towels showing up on my workbench one day. Those came with the admonishment that, “You have no excuse for having a greasy tractor now!” I tried extolling the value of grease’s rust preventive properties, to no avail. I promised that as soon as I had some time I would indeed clean the grease off. And, had in fact came up with a full blown plan for power washing and carefully greasing it… some time this spring…. But, alas you may have saved me the effort! I’m gonna show her this video and let her see and hear just how big a mistake it would be to waste all that power washing and shop toweling… only to doom my baby backhoe to a premature and terminal infection of corrosion! Thanks Cap’n… I knew there was a reason why your logo says “Genius” on it! See ya Thursday!
Mike, repairing DP’s 955 is certainly a lot easier than digging a pond by hand! Reminds me when brother in law asked me to fix his computer. I said sure, could you bring your Bobcat over also. I have 20 tons of gravel to spread! Keep up your good work!
I'm just glad to see that PTO shield "multi-tasking". It not only gets in the way of hooking up a PTO shaft, it can even get in the way of re-installing a pump!😁
Good news, I found your spring, bad news you gotta make a trip to Lansing M.I.......weirdest thing this spring just rolled down my driveway and rested against the truck tire, like it came outta nowhere 😀 👍
To torque the top nuts. Use a crows foot. Just put it 90 degrees to the torque wrench. Then it will be true torque. I learned that from a friend at NASA. God bless
You are a smart man I hate to call you wrong a stedy I a stedy pressure you might not loose much but you use a impact wrench every joint were that join you loose impact touch put a stubby when at all possible deep whell will work just fine truck tires is the biggv way to ck that o out you will see the impact hammer away without it coming off put a deep or stubby on it and it will take it right off unless its rust on
The easiest way to line up two sets of splines like that is to put the coupler onto the spline you can't turn and note the orientation of the flag (or pin, or setscrew, or whatever is noteworthy about the coupler that you can use to indicate the clock orientation), then stick the coupler onto the movable spline and spin that until the flag is in the same orientation, then slide the two together.
Another option for a smooth coupler (no roll pin or set screw) is to note whether the tooth or space of the spline is straight up (12 o'clock) position and match the other spline, especially in blind hole situations.
@@gwbuilder5779 Yeah, anything to note the clocking of the splines that you can transfer from the immovable side to the rotateable side to make them match. A sharpie or paint pen mark would suffice if nothing else noteworthy presents itself.
You can use a crows foot as you showed in video, there are math calculations to off set the correct torque you need. It does not have to stick straight out in front ,, it can be to the side or back at you with the crows foot opening 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hey there Mike, we already discussed the spline alignment in @LogicIndustries comment. The best way I've found to reference the proper torque with a wrench is to torque an easy to reach bolt or nut, then put a wrench on it and pull it just enough to turn it slightly and use that amount of pressure on the other nuts and bolts. At least it will get you pretty close.🤙😎
Good morning "Mr. Maintenance" 😄Keeping Mikes stuff going as always. Nice to see your video pop up in my notices. The others can wait, yours takes precedence.
To approximate the torque when using the spanner use the torque wrench on the other fixings first but hold the wrench at the same distance as the length of the spanner. This will give you a 'feel' for how hard to lean on the spanner.
Nice work replacing the cover, welding that cast aluminum is tough to get "sealed up" since it soaks the oil into the pores and boils as you weld it! The oil on the back is enough to keep even a Ford from rusting!
Captain, does your new wireless mic have adjustable frequencies? That popping your hearing in audio is RF interference. If you can change frequencies should help.
I have a hard time with my outros as well, just can't seem to get that second part out lol , love your videos, no matter how awkward and crazy they are 🤣
Outros should be easy. In my case, it would simply be: "Well, there you have it.....another half ass job done flawlessly. See you next time at the Half Ass Ranch where I promise no matter what we get into, it will get the half ass stamp of approval by the time we're done! Guaranteed."
Tighten the bolts and try to copy the amount of force with a wrench. Then say "click click" once you feel it's good enough. It's the equivalent of snapping a tie down strap and say "that ain't going nowhere".
I know what you are doing because I am a licensed heavy equipment mechanic.Lol.And a licensed equipment operator.You are doing a marvellous job.Is Art your middle name?
Should have included whybit loose its power every connection join is not a tight fit so the hammer is hammering in the joint and not on the nuts and boltsi have had this fight many times and I proved it every time touch wrench is different as you titen it it's a consent pressure so thers no hammering it maintains the power ok mike looking falward to cant wait for more content on your barn project
Nicely done sir. The best way I have found to line up splines is to let someone else do it 😁. There is a formula somewhere that will tell you how much to reduce your torque when you have to use a crows foot or some other type of widget that offsets your torque wrench from being in line with the fasteners. I've probably got one saved somewhere but like you my organizational skills are somewhat lacking. If I stumble across it I'll try and send it your way.
Down to a science! Two notes on torque, first you are 100% correct on extensions and torque wrenches. Its not a impacting force, so the extension will have no ill effect. Second, on torqueing the upper nuts on the pump...JD probably has a special wrench, or adapter to do it "properly". Your method is also proper, except you forgot the click noise!!! lol
"how ya s'posed to torque that properly?" . . . dude, YOU are the one who already showed the picture of crow's foot sockets. As you noted, you do have to recalculate torque BUT if you can keep the crows foot at 90 degrees to the wrench handle then it's the same.
The part might have been repairable in-house with a silicon-bronze braze or silver solder if the replacement part wasn't available. Might be a good skill to practice with your new oxy-fuel torch? Did you bake the part and degrease before sending it out? Porosity with AC TIG is usually going to be from absorbed oil, I think. If you did something different on your editing, the video was much quieter than normal. (Not a complaint, I just maxed out my phone's volume, but just an FYI)
On putting an extension on torque wrenchs the only time you run into problems is in the higher torque range where the flex of the extension can give a false torque. It's in ranges above 300 foot pounds and above. The quality of your tools matter to. The cheaper ones are soft and will twist sooner.
Always enjoy your videos. Not afraid to make mistakes which we all do. Love the fact you keep it real. What’s going on with the utube yacht? Would like to do a vacation rent!
Our you trying to confuse me Captain, DP has a 855 now? I thought it was a 955? 🧐 Great video and rambling as usual 😂 Keep them coming, can’t wait to see more chicken coop build and the UTube yacht floor!!👍🇺🇸
From a YT Sirtifyed Mehkanick: To avoid the messy hydraulic oil pouring out of the ports/pipes/tudes/etc. simply place the 855 vertically on its nose. Now you can use gravity to your advantage! And you also won't have to bend over and use your knees so much! Just another little plus!!😁 Gravity will keep all that oil in those holes!👏 Who said you'd never use all that Physics knowledge?! 🙃 You are welcome! No charge!! It's the least I can do and my motto is to always do the least I can!! 👍 😳
Morning Mike, the proper way to torque the bolts you can only get the wrench on is to use the wrench and make a clicking sound when you think it’s tight enough. Good work
That's what I was thinking too
Works for Rainman Ray.
OR, you can just use the German way... good and tight (hydraulic mounting nuts) . No matter, your work was satisfactory; no leaks!
Growing up on a small farm in Kansas we didn't have a torque wrench. When we asked Dad how tight to tighten a bolt he always said a quarter turn from twisting it off.
I always went for the one grunt short of an hernia method lol
"Organizational skills" he says... Never have I had such things... :-( . That is one lucky tractor! Its a thing of beauty and a wonder to behold there Bud! And there you go with the one take outro FOR THE WIN!!!

CROWS FOOT ON THE TORQUE WRENCH
On putting an extension on torque wrenchs the only time you run into problems is in the higher torque range where the flex of the extension can give a false torque. It's in ranges above 300 foot pounds and above. The quality of your tools matter to. The cheaper ones are soft and will twist sooner.
How does the extension flexing change the torque? Does it go up or down on ft lbs?
I have a 855 with a significant fluid leak underneath at about the seat position. Any thoughts
There are several hardline hydraulic connections under the seat including the SCV

Mike do you ever find your irons, pike poles, or rubish hooks disappearing on you at fire scenes, like nuts and bolts do in the shop?

Morning Captain did I see that you have donated your Subaru Outback to Andrew Camarata?
Lol, no???
@@CaptainKleeman that good because you should see the state of it now. Last few minutes of his latest video
Anything you add between the socket and the torque wrench does affect torque values due to torsion and slop in the fittings.
No, that myth has been disproven multiple times.
They make an open face torque wrench just for these types of applications. They are expensive however.
Very cool!
Use the crows foot and adjust the torque value simple you said it yourself early about the extension
