    I used to work as a fitter at the Kubota dealership here in SE Queensland for around fourteen months. The swizzle plate in the final drive takes four blokes to fit. Absolute bastard. Also, if the hydraulics are slowing, try replacing the pilot filter, a bitch to get at, rarely replaced, but essential.
    The excavator seems to be suffering from operators who are allergic to grease guns. Properly maintained, a Kubota will easily last 5,000 to 6,000 hours use. The old saying that oil is cheaper than spare parts applies here. Cheers.

    Crikey, must be a few Aussies watching thiss a smoko! Looks like the Brits don't have lifetime oil in their diggas either! I have seen some do that in Ozz too. Who would ever think to change oil in final drives with Tonka truck size gears, but the smaller gears wear a LOT quicker than gears .....lets say ...um tank sized. Ps I think the damage was done years before Jack got his paws on it. Love the T shirt mate. G'day from Tasmania

    After seeing several of your entertaining videos, I have to admit that I'm beginning to love Mr. Hewes' amiable group of pommies. Your mechanical skill sets are so versatile, it's amazing. It is surprising how well you can work in muddy oil settings or in frost and rain. I worked for a period of years in a number of coal-fired power stations in OZ with some rather gifted fitters & turners who worked on the plant, plus mechanics who mainly serviced D9's at that time. Keep up the vids as it reminds me of a better England.

I like Jack, he seems like a solid chap that you can definetly rely on. The PornHub hat, "this is a two seater" t-shirt and giving-the-fingers to the camera when under duress just adds to the character.
    Without going to far with the dick riding but I gotta say I quite like Mr Hewes too. Your mechanic skills and knoweldge seem unreal for a guy who looks on his mid 20s.

    You could bodge up some top rollers with some big old bolts and iron wheels off an old trolley jack.
    Or just not bother.

    Thats a prooer fix not an agricutural fix, that woujd be matt putting a few weld spots on the shaft, a few seconds with a grinder and bray it back together, so in 6 months time you waste days and eventually burn the pin.out cursing matt for a bodge

    I'm slightly surprised you didn't weld the two splined sections together. Much temporary cheapness. (and probable inability to reassemble)

      You couldn’t assemble it had I of done that
