    Mike I do hope that future machine designers watch this video. The reason in my thinking is that when they design route for Hoses and pipes etc that they think first and ask this question to themselves. When this hose, pipe or filler is going to be used when all guards and panels are as the finished article. Can that person reach and undo whatever with ease? If not then redesign it so you can. This has always been an issue when working on any machine the trouble you had to even get your finger on the nut without a crow foot you would have been in trouble. Think of when I was repairing those same machines without the aid of a hammer drill out in the wild without electric. I await your attitude to the designers when you come to refit those pipes. Cut a hole in the floor easier than growing an extra foot on your arms. Great video and I commend your attitude and answers to many of the negative comments some make about what and how you do things. I say keep on doing your way or they if they do not like it should take the Highway out of there. You and the family Stay safe and well over there.

Than welded a bunch of hold up mounting tabs to bolt the plates flush with the top of the 3/4" plate frame. After it was all done it had a spiders web pattern to it.

      I was thinking the same thing when Mike when mike started pulling the old matt out and saw all that rust. That durable bed liner stuff was a game changer in the automotive industry. The products have improved over the years, becoming lighter and stronger. The fact that it has been used for so many applications other than what it was originally designed for goes to show the ingenuity of people. Bedline an entire vehicle exterior for off road protection! Imagine the surprise of the product designers! You can even get that stuff with insulation and sound deadening properties! Use that stuff to coat the entire interior of the cab! And you can now get that stuff in a variety of colors!

    In regards to the part of the video where you used a crows foot to loosen the fitting. I find the 12 pt style crows foot works better but they can be expensive to buy. So I keep a lot of extra old wrenches around and when I need a crows foot for a line on my equipment I dig through my pile of extra wrenches, cut the box end off the one I need with about an inch of handle left on maybe less and weld a female end off a broken adapter or extension onto it, then cut the box end open just enough to fit over the line.
    Works great and has saved me a bunch of money since I have the extras lying around anyways. Don’t weld too much at once, the heat will affect the shape of the box end and always cut it open after.

That alone was worth the watch! Great video!

    @sassafrasvalley1939 Рік тому +2

    Cap’n thanx for the tip. I’ll tuck that away in my bag of tricks for the next time I need to loosen hoses. Perhaps I can try it out in my old garden hoses when I dig them out this spring?
    That floor pan was one molecule of rust away from falling apart. Fortunately, you brung the right tool for the job. Those rock chisels are perfect for cutting bolts. And, their safety guards are great for holding them in place for serious hammer strikes. Iffen one didn’t know better, he might assume they were actually designed for removal of triple nickel floor pans!
    I think it was wise to replace all those hidden hoses… it looked like they were just one bucket of dirt away from blowing. And, at the price of oil, you may have saved enough to pay for them anyway.
    Take care bud… I’ll see you in the next one.

    Definitely worth replacing all those hoses at the same time, no doubt it will be an "ouch" factor now, but will save you time in the long term. And while they are off, it could be wise to cover the replacement hoses with fire hose too.
    I agree with you and Mike on the state of the cab, definitely salt corrosion there. Couldn't believe the amount of crud you took out the cab, will be interesting to see how much metal you will use to repair.
    And you are keeping us all hanging on your last sentence, bridge or trade up..... marvellous!!!! 😁

    My first thought on the cab floor would be to try and budget some diamond plate since you don't want to put a rubber mat back down. Although it's actually in better shape that I was expecting so laying down a good heavy coat of epoxy bedliner makes perfect sense. For the battery, how about a "pigtail" from the hot and negative coming up in the cab with ends to match your jump box? That would definitely make it a LOT easier when it needs a boost to get going.

    People telling you to do one project at a time are spoiled by other channels. You have a bunch of stuff, and hey maybe sometimes you don't feel like working on a particular project. You share what you share...trying to demand that you only do one thing at a time is a bit selfish, it's not like we pay for the content you give us. Personally I greatly enjoy the content for your personality and attitude towards what you're working on.

    I'm not sure where you can get them or even if they make them in the size of your hydraulic hoses, but my John Deere compact has a mesh protective tube over some of the hydraulic hoses for the FEL. It might protect your hoses from chafing and damage. Now would be the time to put them on.

    Congrats on the progress, even when it feels like going backwards. On that steel hard line, if you can’t get it replaced reasonably, I’ve had great success with brazing then instead of welding on hydraulic fittings. As always, I appreciate the content and sharing the tip/trick from Clint. Going to have to try that one when I replace my backhoe hoses.

    Say, there's a tool you might find useful. You can find it at most hardware stores, Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, etc.
    It's called a broom. 😄😄😄
