Great clear video! Two suggestions for those interested. 1) pressure wash everything prior to opening a toolbox for wrenches. 2). purchase, borrow, or rent a torque multiplier and use the prescribed values on reassembly. You've seen what improper torque does for the rod nuts. It could have been catastrophic had the nut spun off entirely!
@@AndyFromm I get it! My daughter said you’re handy you should do videos like the men you watch. I tried and realized I don’t have the patience for cinematography and fixing my stuff. It takes a lot of concentration (from me) and composing a shot for UA-cam doesn’t work well with me. But I’m happy to see you make it work.
@@AndyFromm take it from me. You’ve got it right. Your voice and cadence bring it all together. Most importantly you’re real and not sponsored. Be patient and take care of yourself and your family. The guys like me will keep watching.
I have the 1968 580CK and I am sure I will be doing this soon enough. One thing I do not see much of on YT is how to deal with varying levels of rust on the cylinder rods. I have the spotty pitting rust on the boom and dipper cylinder rods. Much knowledge on that subject? Subbed for sure, this is good stuff.
@@AndyFromm Thanks for getting back to me. Just a ball park figure on the replacement of the rod. i would do all the dismantling and reassembly. So just the rods?
@@michaelkennedy2528 i just looked up one of the rods on case's website, somewhere around $500 for the rod. If its not terrible, I'd probably take my chances with a seal kit

Those snap rings can be tough! Glad to see you're making videos again. We love hydraulic repair!
Thanks ☺👍
I seem to have issues with these larger ones. I should probably invest in a set of good snap ring pliers...
I’m glad to see you’re back. I do a lot of this on my own so I enjoy watching you figure it out like I do.
Thanks David 👍
It takes alot of time to do the long videos. There's alot of stuff I haven't been recording.

@@frankiefiveangels601 i feel the same. I have a hard time thinking of the right things to say and make it look good.

@@frankiefiveangels601Thanks, I appreciate it!
I have a few clips recorded i have tonget to editing and a few projects I want to record coming up 👍
I hate hydraulic repairs. Nice step by step. Keep up the good work
Thanks Tim 👍

Might go along time and leak a little or it might tear up the seals. It would be best to replace the rod if its bad.
Thanks 👍

what brand tool are you using
\
Not for sure anymore, I bought it used off ebay years ago.
i coudnt take the gland off mine i already broke 2 gland wrenches
I've had some like that. I usually end up heating them with a torch.
So you do make videos still hahaha
Shorts are so much easier and less time consuming. People seem to watch shorts, long videos not so much...
@@AndyFromm I know, had to give you some hell.
@@jakemortwedt161 you got your 6.💥 fixed yet?
@@AndyFromm which one?
@@jakemortwedt161 not rusty one
