    I think Uncle Bigun has figured out a solution to his problem when he works with you, make sure he has his own transportation to and from the job site. Tell him from now on, if he gets there late, then he has to leave early to make up for it.
    Your message was spot on. When I even consider holding a grudge against someone who has done me wrong, the Lord reminds me that I, too, needed to be forgiven. Praise the Lord for His grace and mercy. Stay safe buddy.

    What’s up Sam? 1)JD didn’t offer a hydraulic quick connect for my machine but wish I had one too. 2) them manual pole saws are the devil 😂. 3) a mulcher, cutter head, mower attachment,etc will definitely find some unwanted material on the ground. It’s amazing what you will find 😂. 4) I didn’t have my mulching attachment long before I found a loose line that leaked oil everywhere and then not long after tore a non related seal and leaked the gear oil from the main bearing 🤦‍♂️.

    • @tristardiggin

      @jfitz9624 2 місяці тому +1

      @@tristardiggin adding another set of spools to the main control valve after the fact and plumbing that all in is hard and expensive. So what I’ve seen with most aftermarket hydraulic quick couplers is an electronic diverter valve plumbed into the swing boom circuit. And you get a controller to mount in the cab. During normal operation it has no effect on the machine. Swing boom works as normal. But when you want to swap attachments you flip a switch on the controller which diverts fluid to the coupler, you switch your attachments and then flip the switch back. Pretty easy setup too.
      I have a 304e2 as well with the dreaded manual coupler. Too often I’m like, I really need to switch to my ripper, but I’m too lazy to get up so I’m just going to dig this out with my bucket lol. I wish I got the hydraulic quick coupler too.

    My opinion on those park brake pads. Most brake systems allow for the caliper to have enough travel to hold pressure even when pads are metal to metal. Parking pads typically don’t have or need to be as thick you may see on actual brake pads. As they aren’t really intended to wear much. They just keep it put when stopped. They look pretty good to me. I believe the problem may have been what you found with the caliper or something up stream from that. There may be additional adjustments that can be made that limited park brake pedal or lever travel. The ability to hold pressure is being lost somewhere. P.s. good message I’ve got a family member I’ve been struggling with. Forgive and forget seems to be the only way forward. Thanks again.

    As usual, a great video with a very poignant message. The need for forgiveness for the forgiver is as important as it is for someone needing forgiveness. You must've gotten a double dose of intuitive mechanical skills in your DNA, after seeing how adeptly you tracked down the problem with the flail mower. Watch out for Mondays !!!

      I do need to invest in a good one for those reasons.
