    Hydraulic oil cap to fill is inside the cab on the left front above loder levers to drain hdy oil under the hdy oil filter on the frame of the digger. That frame besides the hdy filter is the hdy tank and that thing on the tank above the HYD filter is a hdy oil gauge half way on the gauge will be fine to operate I would not recommend opening that hyd oil filter the next time when you have it filled up as it will pour out. For loosening old nuts 1 loose and tightly over and over 2 heat it and cool it to brake the rust from each other 3 finely just go mad with it.

    Shouldn't the question be "Who's broken now?" Thought you might break Matt at one point. I'm sure that you have a source for your hydraulic hoses but just in case, Hosequip on Hythe Hill in Colchester used to be excellent. Take them a hose and the ends and they will make you a new one for a reasonable cost. Been a few years but it may help.

    The arm rotating on it's own might be a leaky valve spool, not the actual actuator. The valves can be disassembled and there's refurb kits with all the required seals, rubbers and gubbins available for most types of valves. See if there's a local company servicing farm equipment. Those guys have probably seen and fixed it all in the past. Hydraulics are pretty simple once you just get wrenching. Don't be afraid to use force. It's all built to be serviced by the proverbial 200 pound gorilla, and there's not much you can break that's unfixable. I would however put on some latex or nitrile gloves when working with hydraulic oil. Contact dermatitis from chemical exposure sucks massively.

    • @lmm
      @lmm  4 роки тому +1

      That would be good if it was. I don't much fancy attacking the actuator.

    Have fun with the digger, lots of unique parts to play with. Make sure that both grease nipples on the hydro pump shaft work. Also drill steering uprights at bottom for grease nipples to complement the upper grease nipples, makes steering smoother and gets grease into them better. Only use hydro 32 oil in the hydraulic system, makes it more responsive. You put hydro fluid in the filter housing, the real oil level guage is the opaque pipe above that filter. You fill hydro through a fixture that looks like a mushroom ( breather ) just in front of the front loader levers. Just unscrew it and pour in oil , its a bugger to do.

    As a Peugeot 406 (and ex 106) owner, I can say one or two thing about the 106: It may be the humidity doing its work with the car electrics, OR it's the ground wire. or both. I've had weird issues with my 406 when it's humid. I'd check the ground wire nevertheless. bad connection may just give you enough current to run the starter, but not actually have enough power to start it properly.

    Usually UA-cam sponsorships don't have such a great correlation to the video itself, good to see you've found a pretty practical one for these videos!
    The story of the 106 not starting reminds me of an RX-7 a relative of mine owned; It would stall frequently (Sometimes on the highway!) but would always tick over happily at the mechanic's shop.
    Lovely to see the Ruston shunting about! Was that a horsebox it was pushing?

    • @lmm

      It worked quite well! We were certainly very pleased with it!
      Intermittent faults are the worst! What was it in the end with the rx7?

      @RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS 4 роки тому +1

      @@lmm Well unfortunately, the RX-7 was sold off long before I could get my hands on it, though I guess that's probably for the best, since driving alongside a tractor trailer was apparently enough to stall it. It'd probably be a fun track car if it wasn't actively trying to kill the driver.
      Seems like the ideal shunting loco, really, it has the exact amount of power you'd need to scoot things around.
      And I just love that old horsebox, 19th century rolling stock is always so interesting to look at!

    Good vid - not had much chance to watch much of your stuff recently (as most are over half an hour and I don't have that much time) but really enjoyed the catch-up. Your editing and general production values have improved greatly and you crammed a whole lot in (20 mins on one thing gets boring - I thought from your title it was just disassembling the digger!). Also massive congrats on the sponsor, and I really don't know how you managed to go through all that without any obscenities - there were at least 3 occasions where I think most people would have been reaching for the 'bleep' in the edit! Will try and watch more of your stuff going forward!

    Great video Lawrie, but please please please please be very careful where you out your hand and yourself when pulling levers on your digger with all those leaking hoses! Everytime I saw you do it I was wincing - Google oil injection and be prepared for some pretty nasty accidents 😕
    Having been around someone who had their hand over a hydraulic hose when it burst and injected into their hand its not a pleasant experience!
    Great video tho, but please be very aware of the dangers with high pressure hydraulics - as an agricultural mechanic I've seen too many accidents over the years 🙄

    If you haven't figured out the issue on the massey yet. The issue is your hoses are dry rotted and since it sat in the weather for so long my best bet is your "O" Rings are dried and cracked. That means you'll need to take the assembly apart to replace those, with the pistons its better to replace them than to replace the seals. That should get it working.

    Is the 106 singlepoint injected? Sounded like it was flooded to my ear, not sure if the garage just started it and went "oh, well it's fine" but if they did find another garage to diagnose it. Intermittent faults are tricky but I'd start with looking at the coolant temp sensor (and the reading at the ECU to verify wiring) as well as TPS on the throttle body & lastly possibly a sticky/weeping injector.
