    And the Oscar award goes to Henry for all his informative and interesting videos. Keep up the great work for all us hf trencher owners. I also ordered pins and thought 3 would be good, replace 1 and 2 for spares. Well I got 6 new pins. You are right, it's a great little machine. Have a great day

    I've been a fan of these machines for a long time but I've never been able to justify buying one. I enjoyed your video very much! The UA-cam machine suggested your video for me tonight and I subscribed. I like your style and wish I could give you more than one thumbs up.

    On any heavy-duty equipment, grease all fittings at the end of the job or at the end of the day while everything is still warm. To force all the accumulated water, dirt, and grit out of the joint or bearing and to do a good grease job. You don't need to force a lot of grease out, just enough to see clean grease. Wipe excess off with a rag, it will hold the dirt and grit you want to get rid of.

    I'msorry you "lost" the video. That's a bummer; for both of us. I would have liked to see a guy wrestling with all those pins and joints. I put my trencher together by myself, and it took a fair amount of both strength and ingenuity. I would have liked to see a potentially, better way of manipulating everything.
    At any rate, this is a good video. Thanks for sharing it.

    I later realized the pins with broken welds couldn't spin independently because of cotter pins!🤣 Also the other video was "corrupted", according to my computer.😁

      Could the end possibly be welded back together?

      @@beardedprepper8606 I'm going to try. Thing is, I can't tell any difference with the new pins. Not sure it even matters. The pin stays together even when broken. No where for it to go. LOL

    Hang on to the pins packed with mud. Let them soak for a long time in hot/warm water and then try to blow them out with air compressor.

      That's the plan. I'm still thinking if there is something good to add to the water to help.

      ​@@DoubleMFarmHomestead I would think that a good dish detergent would help.
      Or, maybe a parts cleaner fluid.
