Nice work that is permanently fixed with extra reinforcement . I had a travel motor leak like your machine and it turned out to be the metal face seal. The seals are expensive and difficult to replace. Unfortunately they always get worse and can let dirt into the motor. i am a new subscriber .
First time on the channel great content your fabrication skills are great ! I lived on a farm when I was younger we repaired everything in house fabrication was a necessity we improvised adapt an overcome . Your content carry’s that flame make it better & make it work.
I just bought a 334 G like that one. Enclosed cab. Look forward to seeing more videos of your work on the 334. I plan on doing a light overhaul to it. Great video.
Nice work - I can only imagine how quickly the tracks would have got chewed up with the excessive wear and damage to the rollers and track guides. Good to hear the rest of the machine runs well, but considering the lack of maintenance by the previous owner I think we could be seeing this one back in your workshop in future episodes.
I like that solid aluminum drill motor. I have one in the drawer that my Dad used in the early fifties. Still works fine but it is only a quarter inch so it doesn't see much use (one speed as well).
I've always wanted a mini-ex like that for general use around the property. I know a bigger machine can do stuff faster, but if it's personal use then if it takes a little extra time it's no big deal.
For the track slides, it looks like they would be better out of hi density low friction plastic than metal. I think they could be hung off the center and grub screw mounted on either side right down to the main beam. That way you could replace them without taking the track off by a bolt going through and threading into the rear pad.
bro you need to make more video I like your content and follow a long with you wall you are no dummy I find you to be on to it and you know your stuff more vids from you will be wicked
The spring is just for cushioning shock loads. Like if you were using the bucket to lift the front of the machine and it slips and the machine crashes down onto the front idler/track. The odds of it ever flexing more than 1/2" with a mini this size is like getting struck by lightning.
For the few tools you have in what big companies call a "Shed", your doing quite well. You have rescued a machine that was in heavy salt in the soils. It will last as long as the oil delivery to each track motor is gone. Those track frames are heavily compromised, not to worry as your income improves, if still doing the same thing, a Case or Hyundai machine would be a better choice of machines. Salt will kill anything including humans if too much is ingested/flooded over metals. I am not sure if those machines had a plastic like material that kept things sliding inside the frame. Probably not as its not used much anymore. I haven't been in this game since 95, so the last twenty nine years have seen many improvements. Its kind of like marriage,.... certain rules stay the same. Like some politicians find out the hard way, infidelity comes back to haunt you/LOL. You are young where I am old, someone has to haul the torch
Next time put it on The Idler Wheel first then get two pieces of pipe stick it in the two sprock teeth on the front sprocket drive sprocket and started up roll it over to the pipes are at the bottom and it'll go right on 10 minutes time
The tensioner doesn't really move enough to need lubrication, and any you put on it would quickly get absorbed by dirt anyway. I don't really see the point of painting the undercarriage. It would take a ton of work to prep it correctly and the paint would just get quickly scratched off by dirt and rocks.
It seems you overpaid for the Bobcat excavator in such poor condition. Tip...use Ospho on all rusty parts. It turns iron oxide into iron phosphate which is inert. It will turn rusty part black and is also a primer if you want to paint.
One of my favorite most underrated channel!! Love your work and your shop setup
Nice work.
First time subscriber. Loved watching. That drill should be in the Smithstonian.
Haha thanks.
Always enjoy your videos man, you do a great job. Definitely one of the more underrated channels on UA-cam. Keep it up 👍
Thanks a lot!

Thanks. I was worried the face seal was bad on that one but so far so good. Idk where the gear oil went.
Just found your channel. Nice to see people do things right. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Good work mate, well done, nice clear and concise narration too, others do a lot of unnecessary waffling.
Thanks I try to keep it concise.
Amazing workmanship and patience.
Thank you very much!
It's incredible you don't have more viewers mate, your content is excellent. Thumbs up to feed the algorithm!
You're too kind.
First time on the channel great content your fabrication skills are great ! I lived on a farm when I was younger we repaired everything in house fabrication was a necessity we improvised adapt an overcome . Your content carry’s that flame make it better & make it work.
Thanks. I find it's almost always easier in the long run to fix stuff yourself.
Great craftsmanship dude!
Thanks I try haha
You certainly have a lot of tools and the knowledge to use them . May God bless
Nice job, with all the rain you get I’m surprised you didn’t paint it as a well. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I don't believe in paint lol.
@@AlwaysBored123 Paint can slow down rust.. (won't stop it though)

Oh for sure there's definitely more to do on this thing.
Good combination of troubleshooting detail and fast forward. ❤❤❤

I always like and comment, to feed the algorithm, you deserve more subs and have great content, I wish you posted more!
Thank you very much. I wish I posted more too.
I agree with your reasoning. Just fix it for good, and never mess with it again.
There's nothing worse than having to re-repair something haha.
Educational and enjoyable flick,, 👍🌟👍
Thank you kindly for your time and work,, 💖🙏💖
Cheers from Sweden,, 🍻😎🇸🇪
I've always wanted a mini-ex like that for general use around the property. I know a bigger machine can do stuff faster, but if it's personal use then if it takes a little extra time it's no big deal.
This one is about 7500lbs which I've heard is a good compromise between power and ease of transport. I'm excited to find out.
Its amazing what you accomplish awesome job

That's a really good idea. I think the oem pads are about $75 each and I don't think they're even hardened.
New name for the channel, " alwaysbusy". Thanks...

Ah ok. Hopefully having some extra give won't hurt anything.
Excellent repair
Very good work!!
Very nice work
Thankyou 😊

G'day Mate you fix stuff better than when it was made in the Factoy great job & video..Keep it up ....New Sub....
Thanks

Great job but why not oil or grease the tensioner and paint the under carriage. Would look better and last longer.
The tensioner doesn't really move enough to need lubrication, and any you put on it would quickly get absorbed by dirt anyway. I don't really see the point of painting the undercarriage. It would take a ton of work to prep it correctly and the paint would just get quickly scratched off by dirt and rocks.
I agree with dirt collecting on under carriage.
Has the excavator been used in some fertilizer storage or how the hell the undercarriage is so rusted out?
I believe it was used in salt water near the beach.
It seems you overpaid for the Bobcat excavator in such poor condition. Tip...use Ospho on all rusty parts. It turns iron oxide into iron phosphate which is inert. It will turn rusty part black and is also a primer if you want to paint.
You should if had gap of 1/4 inches all around that square 5mm steel for a proper butt weld .

CrapCat or BobCrap
Boobcat.
Bobcat uses shitty cheap metal.
Pretty much.
37:21 I LOVE THAT MAT
Hahaha. I think I have two of those kicking around.
