If you'd like to check out the cool shop radio or other TOOLS/GOODIES FROM THIS AND PAST VIDEOS ON THE AMAZON PAGE : www.amazon.com/shop/stoneyridgefarmer (Stoney Ridge Amazon Affiliate Page) All kinds of helpful gift ideas and tools I've used over the years on the farm channel!
I've seen DieselCreek put down pig mats for some of his oily work. I guess adding some concrete sealant is probably on the ToDo list somewhere. I'm really liking some of the latest track-steers putting all the maintenance items out on panels where you can get to them easily. Your cab labels are the best idea, it's all right writing it on the filter itself, but who ever checks those? Maybe take a picture of the oil/filters on the table too, then you can double check what you bought when it comes to the next service. I keep photo records of a whole bunch of equipment, so I can double check stuff while I'm sitting at my desk, and not having to go look in the shed at night
Our USAF son was the city public works skid steer operator after high school and before enlistment. That was in 2001. I wonder if he remembers the servicing procedures. He FaceTimes us, from Kuwait, on Sunday mornings. I’ll ask him.
Man!, Brother I can’t tell ya how proud I am of you and all you’ve done the past few years! Seriously awesomeness ! Go ahead a kickback and cross your legs again and know many of us “viewers “ really enjoy your show!
When I used to work on equipment like what do you have always put down cardboard on the floor when changing fluids. Such as the oil filters hydraulic filters and gear oils keep the floor lot cleaner. 😋
Depends on the engine when checking the oil level. A lot of Kawasaki engines specify the oil level should be checked by putting the dipstick in and not tightening the dipstick cap to check for proper oil level. Also, back in the old'en days it was taught to always wipe off the dip stick because cold oil can creep or wick up the dipstick. Just my 2 cents.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Not nit picking you, just passing on what I have learned over the years working on every thing from small engines to aircraft engines.
Until very recently we had a takeuchi TL150 on our farm, and it had a yanmar diesel engine as well. Those things will last forever if you take good care of them!
Thanks for the tips, I will be setting up an oil change box (organization always makes D super happy) 😁 The Toyota... man that is super clean looks just like the red 87’ I had before I was driving on a dirt road for the first time and put it on it’s roof (only about 3k miles on it) 😢 tough tough lesson but nobody was seriously hurt 🙏
Josh, why not just use a shallow tote with a lid for an oil catch pan, sitting on some plastic sheeting? That way, if it spills over, it's on the plastic, not your shop floor. Simply lay out a full sheet of painter's plastic and drive onto it. Works for any mechanical procedure. Been watching your videos for a LONG time. Love them! But I must say. I miss Popcorn the Jeep! Lol 🙂❤🙂
Yes this is a good dude on UA-cam but if you don’t wanna see someone show you what work is stay away from Andy on farming fixing and fabricating. Dairy farmer out of Syracuse New York. Chores start at 4 o’clock then they start the day at? Seven or 8 o’clock. Really really good. Really good with his kids to Boot!
Well, the shop has been officially christened now. If you want to keep the floor clean and viable, consider putting down a couple layers of GhostShield (recommended) or Foundation Armor. Goes on real easy with a sponge mop, and will save your floor for years.
Haven't heard of those up here, but certainly will look. Used a lot of W R Medals products. Always apply a "Cure & Seal" as soon as its hard enough to walk on. But, ya gotta put an additional wear sealer too (there's even traction enhancer built in!). Folks don't want to admit there's maintenance for concrete. I def agree (with 50+ yrs in the trade, lol.)
@@Derf1313 Yep, I totally agree. GhostShield is what many US DOT use to surface seal concrete used on roads, bridges, sidewalks, etc. Lowes (among others) sells it to the public. Used it in my shop, works great.
If you didn't want to move the machine from the drain position you could fill it like a lower unit on an outboard engine. put your bottle in the bottle in the bottom hole and squeeze or use a pump if you have it till it runs out the top hole. put the plug in the center as you hold the bottle in the lower hole and then move the bottle and put in the lower plug. the suction keep all but a few drops from running out.
Hey buddy, I just saw a video about a guy cleaning out his tire water tanks it is at the "Crosstimbers Bison" in case you want to see his way of cleaning them.
Appreciate the content. Small tip use some of your Amazon cardboard to put under your oil pan( obvious wouldn’t have helped with this scenario but it does help).
You are 100% right, no reasons for the filters or drain plugs to be that tight. That's just inviting damaged threads and costly repairs. As for the oil drain pans, not a big fan of the "closed" type, always a mess. Good video with great instructions on how to do it properly. Woooo!!
Only problem I noticed is you weren’t wearing your overalls straw hat and chewing on redman long cut.... but I guess I’m old fashion!!..Great video But I lost you own pop the plug i’ll have to go back and rewatch!.. I want to thank you sharing your journey it’s inspiring and I greatly appreciate it man
Somewhere in the shop, set up a place to set your used filters and stuff to drip drain into a bucket. Again, you could use pvc pipe and set it up like a gutter so the downspout goes in the bucket. You’re inventive.
Literally millions of yachts use ya mar Diesel engines for propulsion and generation of electricity. In fact, they are a major selling point in the reselling of used yachts. In addition, Andrew Carmarata from you tube buys primarily yanmar used equipment because of its reliability and longevity. Gehl is a good, if not well advertised piece of equipment. I would own one!
Good job man maintenance is key And thank you for going into detail I’m looking at getting a track loader and a mini excavator as well and gehl is near the top of my list
from the video it looked as if you only got a fuw table spoons of gear oil back in those drive gears...but i just assume it was the camera angle and if not you will figure it out soon i imagine !
just a note, please keep oily rags/paper towels in a metal can outside the shop. I had a oily rag catch on fire by its self. luckly it was outside and didn't catch the garage on fire. Bill
I have a suspicion that they didn't put any oil on the gaskets on those filters. It'll make them a bear to crack loose and it will seem like they have been overtightened.
The cardboard works and I use it as well but they make purpose make flexible funnels that are good for diverting oil streams into a container for things like that. I have been meaning to get one but I see the price and keep useing cardboard like you,🤣. But it would be something cool for a big shop like yours in your oil change supply box.
Josh, did you seal the concrete floor in the shop? I did mine when I built my 24x36 shop last year. It is amazing how easy it is to deal with spills (so far trans fluid and coolant from my Nova.) Just wipes right up. Only downside, rather a big one, is it makes the floor really slick. My anti-fatigue mats next to my workbench slide, so I have to be careful when I'm in a hurry otherwise I'll end up on my butt. Have some double sided tape for that to hopefully stop the slide, just been too lazy to put it down yet.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm sure there will be a vid, but please make a vid. Epoxy was too rich for my blood, but probably would have been better. My 65 doesn't really leak anything as it is a fresh rebuild. My 67 I'm going to be bringing back from Michigan in a few weeks is all original and leaks like sieve. Have some big chunks of cardboard all ready to go! LOL
Josh, with all of your used oil, is there a specific place you take it for disposal? Does it cost anything, or do most places take it free of charge? Thanks Josh. Great video!
Why are you is doing bad grammar in your insult? It's called branding my friend....and I do believe what this comment does is called sarcasm (with poorly excecated grammar).....one is fun, profitable and gives personality to inanimate objects...the other is counter productive, insulting and makes a person seem like they didn't learn manners. So...the question I pose to you is simply this: Doesn't having a name for the machines on the farm seem much more productive and fun than being mean, sarcastic and rude? Please be kind dude....it's a virtue we all must master

soon you'll see a large maintenance reminder board in the shop for all the machines on the farm
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That's a really good idea, I love whiteboards for planning stuff
WoooooooooooooHeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeee!!!! Alright!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
enjoyed the servicing of the skid steer. have a great day
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching your videos
I love watching a Manly Man doing Manly Work.. 💪

Yep and in today's world where everything is delivered there is plenty around. I do the same thing.
Congrats SRF on getting all of the maintence done to the Skid loader. work easy pays-off.
Howdy
Awesome video Josh
I always put some clean oil in the filter before I put it back on. Just a thought
not when the filter is mounted sideways my friend
Keep a log book on each motorized peace of equipment. It can help track what you spend. At resale it help in the sale to show piece o was kept up.
soon I'll have a board with each piece of equipment on it...and I'll have it looking at me all the time in the shop
I use Tub-o-Towels all the time! Great for a quick clean up of your hands and actually many other things.
Nice informative video!
Thank you

So blessed to see someone doing "Preventative Maintenance" on their equipment with pride!
Keep a supply of brake clean it will clean anything you spill on the concrete floor. 😁
Love the bloopers!

Dude, I feel your frustration with the oil spill.
Whoooo 🍻
I keep pig mats around when working on anything that contains liquids 😊
Yoga mats work also.
Don't forget to blow out that big radiator in the back. they get pretty full of dust on the Gehl we have.
Shop looks great 👍
Regular mineral spirits mix in spilled oil to cut oil then oil dry instantly picks it up
Cool to see that done Josh. Hope you enjoy the beach! Wooooo!
Lol nice

you need a low-profile oil drain tank since you have a lot of equipment they have where it even pumps into your old oil tank
I ordered one right after this lol...needed it!!
I would change that hub oil at every oil change those planetary gears put a lot of stress on the oil, and they are very expensive to change.
Great job SRF maintenance is the key to keep things running
Been a fan for years brother; and some of my favorite videos have that old “Oil Change Supplies” tub in it. Hardest working man on UA-cam. 👍🏼👊🏼
lol thanks buddy

You may want to consider placing a strong magnet on each of your drain plugs. It will catch any metal particles,
very good idea!!!!! DANG!!! Thanks!!!
Next time put a large drip pan under your machine! My Air Force days as a mechanic was to use a lot of drip pans! LOL
Was hear
Wooooo!
Nice !
Really liked the bloopers 😆 great video Josh

A spray bottle of purple power or your favorite degreaser comes in handy .
I have the same drain Pan you actually have to put a vent in it on one end there's a little plug

Just put the drain plug back in and fill the hub up till it comes out of the fill plug. No need to move machine.
I was waiting for someone to catch that lol...can't fill it from the center the hole is too small
I usually stuff paper towels into the longer funnels after I’m done with them so not too much shit gets inside you know❓
yep...that works...fyi brotha..if you don't use curse words your comments won't get held by the comment filter
Somewhere in the shop, set up a place to set your used filters and stuff to drip drain into a bucket. Again, you could use pvc pipe and set it up like a gutter so the downspout goes in the bucket. You’re inventive.
good idea too!
Also build yourself an oil burner for a heater in the shop. Save any and all used Oils and you will have free heat all winter.
Nothing today with today's Content but Josh you've lost a lot of weight. Congratulations
I appreciate that!

UGH! The floor before it's sealed. 😬 It can be cleaned up though. Do not like those types of drain pans. 🚜-Woooo!!
just a note, please keep oily rags/paper towels in a metal can outside the shop.
I had a oily rag catch on fire by its self. luckly it was outside and didn't catch the garage on fire.

I'm surprised you don't have a hand pump for the buckets of oil makes putting in gallons of oil super easy
I do have an electric pump...but for measuring this is easier
Instead of filling fuel filter with diesel put atf in it helps clean your injectors and lube them
If you pour your 5 gallon bucket with the spout at the top it won't bloop.
I have a suspicion that they didn't put any oil on the gaskets on those filters. It'll make them a bear to crack loose and it will seem like they have been overtightened.
I was watching the rerun you did a great job but I think you should have used a air blower to clean the rad
if I had power and a compressor up here in the shop...soon but not yet
I'm ok. Lol
The cardboard works and I use it as well but they make purpose make flexible funnels that are good for diverting oil streams into a container for things like that.

Was that a factory or a dealer tech you think tightening the filters to tight?
this was a rental machine...so probably a $7 hr kid in the back of the rental place
👍

I thought you might go to Wrightsville Beach, oh well did you have a good time?
Man it's been two months already!!
"Whoever did this should be smacked" Next thing I see , I Am laying on the floor looking up! I know I did not tighten that filter. Lol
@Stoney Ridge Farmer
Did you get any kind of coating on that concrete floor?
not yet but soon!
Did he say somebody overtightened them?
I couldn't quite tell
I would blow out the radiator
What do you do with all the dirty fluids? Recycle them or keep them?
there's always a use for old motor oil...but if I don't need it I take it to recycle
😎😎😎👍

amazon has them or wherever you buy your filters
Thanks Josh
I am from Canada Québec

you can take it to most auto parts stores and have it recycled....however I find a use for it on the farm in most cases
You did not open the air vent on the collector pan.

that oil cleanup from Super Clean works great too!
Smacked on a daily basis for one week.
Why not just fill the vent hole till it runs down
