John Deere 35D Excavator: Replacing Hydraulic Oil & Filters / Coolant Drain & Fill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 бер 2023
- In this video I bring you along as I service out a new to me 2012 John Deere 35D Excavator. In this video I replace all three hydraulic filters as well as all the hydraulic oil. I also service the cooling system by draining and refilling the coolant. This is also the last thing I have to do before going out and using the machine for the first time.
-Enjoy!
This is going to be the best maintained mini-ex on the market. Even better than "dealer maintained".
Satisfying series to watch; speed-up editing made sense. Now Mrs O can start her side hustle of septic tank maintenance, repair, and service! 😂
Free tip Friday. If anyone ever has to pour from a bucket like Eric did, put the spout at the top (12 o'clock) and it won't chug like that and it will come out smooth. It feels unnatural to have it like that, but it works. It's a little more challenging to get the initial liquid into the hole if smaller, but once you do it is great and much faster.
I have seen this printed on the lids of buckets before(with an image) and the guy still cusses cause the oil glugs out 😏
@@bluegrallis I haven't seen the image before. It works better for me, so I figured I would share.
This is the technique I use with Costco Almond milk containers. Works like a charm.
Yeah, notice he’s got the spout at about 10 o’clock and once the fluid level got to there it stopped glugging. Bit easier to aim starting at 10 and it didn’t glug too much
Now remember, many of us want to watch you dig the tree stump. Thanks, Eric, great series. And, hello from Florida. Now a constitutional carry state.
Well done. Remember that on occasion, according to Andrew Camarada, things will break for "no reason". Be prepared! 😀
lol, Andrew is not the most gentle equipment operator
😂😂😂
Yep
Eric that machine will think all its birthdays have come at once , great job
Nice video.
I see the neighbor took care of the problem on the homestead, but the solution required bringing the mini excavator home and testing it out. 😜🤣🤣
Don't ask don't tell is the policy where we live. Just lend a hand if needed 👍
@@TheRealEricO
And HIDE..the Evidence !!
😉
@@garymallard4699 It's hog boilin' time.
Nothing better then doing all the maintenance right after you buy new Equipment to make sure you know it's done Eric O - After Hours
I like the “ factory install wood block” to help hold down the battery!!! 😂. I always enjoy working on projects that the previous owner reinvented factory parts.
This is cool 😎! Hope you show us you operating it. 😊 thanks for taking us along!
A very nicely done series' Eric!!
I do this with everything mechanical that I buy. My wife thinks I'm crazy but I am the 2 nd owner of a 1958 IH 330 utility tractor that runs like a top. The paint don't look good but mechanically she is perfect.
Can't wait for the test dig episode and keep on doing the right thing.
My 80 year old neighbor has a Case 580 Construction King Backhoe 1960's? Starts with no glow plugs in the dead of winter. Crazy. Idles and runs like it's new. He's got 4 8n Fords that look like hell and run perrrfect.
I have a 1958 350 row crop.
Can't wait to see this machine in action! I'm jealous, now I want one!👍
I really enjoyed this series. Looking fwd to seeing it action! Looks a neat machine.
Man after my own heart key to keeping something working is maintaining it! Great Job!
Thank you for sharing. Your attention to detail is inspiring. There’s not many people in this world that care as much as you do.
What a great toy! Love all these maintenance videos on your new 35d excavator. You've done all maintenance spot on! Enjoy...
Nice job 👍. This JD is going to appreciate the new owner!
Hope so!
loving this mini series!
I think that’s one of the coolest toys ever, Mrs O and the kids on a day at the beach, Wow. 😃👍
The previous owner may have bought that hydraulic filters and all the other service parts when he bought the machine back in 2012 and stored them until he got to 2000hrs but changed the engine oil and filters more often than the hydraulic filters maybe.
Always excited when taking care of a new toy.
Nice to know that you have a baseline and know exactly where your maintenance is. Good luck with it, Eric!
Excellent, I know you were really itching to use it for work!
The way JD trained me to do it, was to let the Hydro system sit for several hrs after a drain and fill after moving implements around, to be sure aeration has settled b4 topping off the system.
New Toys! Dig up that Stump now! Cheers, Eric from Colorado!
Good looking dirt !
The way you say, “Contact” at 5:00 made me literally laugh out loud. While I don’t have anything close to this and likely never will, this was a very entertaining video and appreciate all of your content!!
As a Retired Operator You make me Proud about TLC for Equipment Super Job
Thanks for sharing Eric.
sweet maintenance video
im so glad that your showing this. Ive heard of to many ding dongs that by a premade lawn mower or generator take them home and fire them up and theres no oil in them and burn up the engine. ding dongs.
Engine/motor sounds really good even through the internet !
You look very cool sitting in that machine. I bet you would look even cooler in one of those big ones they use on gold rush. Looking forward to seeing some vids of you putting the deere to work.
Good job on the fluid change, when I do the hydraulic filter on my skid steer after pulling it I use a clean rag with a strong magnet wrapped up in it before wiping the bottom of reservoir if there’s any metal in the bottom it will get it.
We have the john deere hand pump that attaches to their 5 gallon buckets for topping off our farm tractor. Works pretty decent...
Cool. Water flows sideways!!❤😂😊
Great videos bud. Thanks for all the helpful knowledge 👍🏻
I am totally envious
Next is doing some work with it. I can't wait to watch.
Great video as always super entertaining @Eric O - After Hours
Job well done... 🙂
It's nice to have good neighbors
I cant wait to see what building projects you have in mind using your new equipment on Eric O After Hours!
I'm looking forward for the videos coming to show how much easier it is to remove engines with this new tool
Not sure why I am watching this as in my future no mini excavator is in site,,,,,but watching you wrench on something you are definitely not sure of is entertaining
I want one... thx for the video sir
Those little Hitachi build machines are very good and that's low hours.
With your care she will last you a long time
Eric! love the After hours videos....!
Mr. O, hope the neighbor took care of the intruder on your property. Now, I know why you purchased the 35D. Great for digging holes for the bodies. 😂😂 Great vids on doing the maintenance. 😊👍
Hi, Mr. O. The main takeaway I got from this is that I respect John Deere more than before. I had seen some bad press. I think that the John Deere designs are better than average. I can see why the company suggests that people use John Deer parts. Any company would do that of course, but I see some justification here. I hope, without any justification, that John Deere is not gouging its customers. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!
I usually pour the oil in through the filter caps in stead of through the fill cap just like you do!
New old stock. Good on you 😝
Damn,,, I just knew when you said you were taking it home you meant my home ----then you said taking it to your home ---drats---. Oh well this will be fun to watch. You better record the antics old man !!!!!
very interesting thanks
Refrain from calling the guy a liar right off, your proof is only proof that he purchased the filters in the year he purchased the machine as I did when I purchased my LT3800 and it was years before I reached my first service interval. The both the filters looks clean so why doubt that he did what he said? Be better than that is all I’m saying, God Bless and have a great day.
Great Tool. !!!!
Nothing like the smell of hydraulic fluid in the afternoon. I miss my life on the farm.
That's a good running lil beast! I suspect the filter WAS changed... New-Old Stock. If he bought it new, he may have bought the service kit at the time he bought the machine. Your NEW filter is 2 years old... ;)
nice one 👍
Afternoon Eric
Éric O is playing with his new toy, all he needs is a big sandbox. 😊😊😊
It appears to be in pretty good condition for the hours. It looks like it may have sat for a while, too. If that's alge in the fuel, you'll need to treat that before it becomes an issue.
Great video. Just and FYI. The leftover hydraulic fluid left in the bucket. Get rid of it. Where I work we have critical hydraulics and the manufacture of the hydraulic components warns us on using hydraulic fluid that has been exposed to the elements and stored. They recommend either not filling until you use the entire contents or dispose of any fluid that is remaining in the container. I am not sure the sensitivity of the hydraulic components of a John Deere mini excavator, but might be safe than sorry. Just a Free Friday Tip. 😁✌
These are the things we do with every used purchase...go through and change all of the filters and fluids, inspect and lube as needed.
Original factory filters ! More evidence the seller was full of hot air. I wouldn't bet on no sir, "is there anything you need to know" before using it since the seller has been wrong about much this far. I'd hope the seller was as loose with the sales price as he was with words about the service and maintenance cycles "he had performed".
You’re way too excited about this! Lol. You deserve it. Thank you.
We want to see you working with it Thanks
Coming soon!
now we need some holes in the ground put in a koi pond or a secret underground bunker or something LOL
Like a good neighbor, stay over there.......
Maintenance is cheap in the long run. People don't want to spend the big money on fluids and filters but it pays for itself, keeps the machine healthy. I use OEM filters and fluids whenever possible
Dude you are a stickler for measuring like me. I'm guilty because of being a machinist for 30 years.😂
Anyone else hear Eric go,”Wee” as he was spinning around in the cab? 😂
I did for him.
In my dreams I own a mini Excavator under 8,000 pounds, with a cab, AC, heat and a hydraulic thumb. Not for another tool to service, but to put to work around my acreage. 😎
Well done son !!!😀😀😀
This clunky old diesel sounds better than half the cars you got on camera in your shop
Suction filter is always like that, it was set up correctly. The factory glues the oring in, normally its a white glue. Normal service on the suction screen is 4000hrs, if oil sampling is used and Hyd oil is extended drain. 2000hrs on the main hyd filter or 1000hr if Hydraulic hammers are used.
If it's not too late, while the machine is clean... take a wire wheel and go over the underside and clean up the rust, apply paint etc. The machine will then be just about as good as new and will pretty much stay that way .
Such a smooth operator…..I forgot the rest of the lyrics
I can only imagine Deere John branded hydraulic oil ain't cheap, our industrial parts store sells a rebranded Chevron AW46 I forget the cost per pail. The most important hydraulic filter is the pilot filter it can cause you a whole lot of ass aches. Its the only filter in the hydraulic system that is pressurized hence its in a bomb proof canister. Hydraulic oil contamination usually comes from attachments like rock hammers or brush mowers.
Over worked means eric o will be back with another video😅
Nice unit
Lets see this machine rip that stump
Once and only once.....
Cheers
👍
That's Y WE LOVE U
napa filters work fine
Men and their new toys!!!
As 'ole Scotty says, "oil is cheap, engines are expensive". Same for filters.
May want to check the pattern changer lever to make sure it moves freely.
Eric dont forget the final drive gear oil.
Little advice running trackhoe slow and steady equals fast
If you put a switch on that back up alarm your neighbors will appreciate it. After you get some practice in it you can try the egg challenge.
Be sure to put any extra JD hydraulic fluid in a vault for safe keeping
Check the bucket pin it might need some shims
Check the air in the spare. Most people forget .
16:20 it’s just new old stock! Maybe he got all the filters when he bought the machine and sat on them till service….😊
Waiting with baited breath for the" Put To Use "Phase.:)
When factory sets the rods they are set for OEM fiters
Did the previous owner buy more then one of them filters in 2012 when he bought the machine and just put in new old stock 2012 filters when he serviced it 🤔 possibilities @Eric O - After Hours
John Deere sponsorship in the future 😂
So I wanted to have some coolant on hand for a Deere 3039R, just for topping off if needed. Checked the manual. It says use "Cool-Gard II" or "Cool-Gard II PG". Way below that it says "Avoid Damage! Don't mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol coolants." Does the manual say what coolant the tractor comes with? Nope, cause that would be useful information. Call the dealer; after they CHECK, answer is "ethylene glycol". (BTW - these videos are very useful for that tractor as well. This are the first videos I've seen where someone actually recorded changing the fuel filters, re-priming the fuel system, etc. start to finish.)
Given the number of times he lied to your face, trusting his claim that there's "nothing you need to know" is shakey at best. But considering how thorough you've been with getting the maintenance up to date, you shouldn't have a problem. They aren't super complicated machines.
Man, that machine is purring like a Deere is suppose to. I’ll be over next Saturday to borrow it for a few days. Don’t worry I’ll return it with a full fuel tank.
I have had a radiator cap fail on the negative side. Had to be one of the only times a radiator cap kicked my butt...it would not come off for anything.
