I appreciate you showing the times you have call a friend or have someone else do a repair. It makes the rest of us mere mortals feel a little better about our inability to figure out how to repair everything under the sun.
You made a good decision bringing this to the dealer to fix. It's the easy problems they rip you off for and you had a good rig other than the problem. I think you'll use that thing a LOT for many years.
My biggest suggestion for windshields on any sxs is to get a real glass one. Once plexiglass gets scratched up enough, it’s really hard to see, especially when the sun is shining at you. Commonly what will happen is when you’re on the trail, and you get mud on it, then you wipe it off with your sleeve or whatever, that’s basically just rubbing sandpaper on plastic. With glass it won’t scratch almost as all. Great to see you enjoying it!
I prefer real glass but not the price. FYI, you can wet sand a plastic windshield and make it crystal clear again. It's the same with plastic headlights, too.
I have 4-5 in my basement. Also I have retrofitted my old 4’ shop lights to LED. VERY SIMPLE. Just remove the ballast and wire nut your internal wires together. I ordered Led bulbs online
The first thing that came to mind when you unplugged the harness and there was mud was that this machine has been submerged, likely in a mudhole and then the transmission was waterlogged too and NOW I strongly suspect it. Cool machine, and you took a route fixing it that I would have taken! Thanks for sharing the process!
Wow! Matt that was an impressive YT Easter Egg! Your wife will be very proud of your progress, I know I sure am! I just love your story telling and editing skills. You always entertain and connect all the dots (even if it takes two or three years). Once the house build is complete,maybe we will see that over head crane get installed!
Good job Matt, I think it was wisdom you sent it to a dealer. You checked to see the main stuff was OK, making the unit worth repairing. Shoot, you even put the first mechanic back on the track cuz he was thinking wrong. Looks like you enjoy that side by side alot. You get a thumbs up from me.
Matt, from personal experience working with the same unit, it is best if you consider the CV joint on the "turf" driving wheel as a "consumable, just like belts etc, they WILL wear them out regularly. Was informed by the dealer that they sell a LOT of the CV joints. It seems to be their only weakness, we flogged the guts out of ours and found them basically unbreakable. EDIT: - One man's opinion but... I would hang on to it, it is an awesome beast, and far superior to similar offerings from other manufacturers. They will stand up to punishment that will break most other similar units and it just keeps coming back for more. For the areas we used to work in there were three factors to consider, reliability, reliability and reliability, nothing worse than having to walk a few miles up a massive hill to get reception to call in for someone to pick you up.
Pull the plugs and look at the top of the pistons. If it's inhaling coolant, the one that is will be exceptionally clean as compared to the others as it's been effectively steam cleaned.
Its definitely that CV shaft in the rear end making that racket. Once the grease starts leaking out they will make that noise. Its also quite obvious because its louder with the diff locked vs open. If it was a diff problem the noise would likely go away when it was locked.
Yup! That clicking sounded exactly like every CV joint i ever heard going bad. A diff/locker going bad would be more of a whining and/or grinding noise if im not mistaken.
Side by sides have a decent amount of electronics in a vehicle that is exposed to the elements. They are just rife for wiring/electronic failures. I would also inspect the wires especially were they run along the frame to see if there is any damage from being pinched. If a new wiring harness is available and not overly expensive, I would consider replacing.
1/4 inch polycarbonate and a heat gun. Make your own windshield. Install nutserts on roll bar, then lomg studs. Drill lexan and install bulkhead grommet overthe studs with fender washers covering the grommet on both sides. Bob's your uncle
I bought a 2010 RZR800S EFI with a broken starter and front diff for only $3000. $1100 and a couple weekends to fix it. It's been a solid machine for ~5yr now. My shifter sensor is 1-off just like yours, lol. But she drives like a dream.
As someone who works at a Honda dealership these are a pain to work on and diagnose sometimes you need specific tools and computers to work on them to figure out the electrical issues and this model also had ecu and shift motor/solenoid problems and I’ve seen probably 20-25 get changed in my 3 years there
@@9a2er the dealership I work at also has sold cfmoto for a while and they have gotten a lot better but they still are not the quality of a Yamaha or Honda in my opinion
The immediate usability and convenience of fuel injection has taken over by storm the last ten years, but the longevity is a nightmare. Especially with having no industry standardization whatsoever
@@9a2erI’d still take a Honda even if they’re less reliable. I’d much rather have an American made side by side than a Chinese made side by side. China is an awful country that I have no interest in financially supporting. And just to clarify, Honda side by sides aren’t Japanese. They are manufactured in Timmonsville, South Carolina.
I was within a few miles of you on an environmental crew back in early 2019. It doesn't take long for an environmental crew to get the money out of one of these machines. They use them like a morooka, and sometimes along side morookas. They get very heavy use, with minimal maintenance. The mechanics don't really care to mess with them too much, when they have hoes, skid steers, and dozers at the top of the list.
Matt, the house looks like a home. The location and surroundings, as a longtime photographer, 37 years, is extremely photogenic. I am so happy for you. Be safe on your travels. We lost a good friend to a tree a few years back. May you continue to be abundantly blessed. Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us. John here, photographing the beautiful back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
Just passed 42:36 in the video, and my bets are: They ran the poor thing in to deep water/mud and got it all into the TCM and the transmission. They salvaged the vehicle, cleaned it off but it proved to have issues, causing em to sell it. I figure at this point that the double clutch didn't like that oil-milk you drained, Matt...
Just because a wire has continuity or voltage is present doesn’t mean it can carry a load. Corrosion will decrease the amperage but still show battery voltage.
I bought, repaired and sold 11 of the Polaris side by sides from those auctions. The inspectors either don't care or don't know what they are looking at. Big benefit for me. Don't be afraid to buy them, nice return on investment.
House is looking good, can't wait for that video to drop. Gotta be careful zipping around like that. We just had a local guy die not too long ago driving around in a UTV like that, he lost control and rolled it. Stay safe.
I was thinking the same thing - we lost a local kid who was thrown out and the UTV rolled over him. Year before lost an old rancher the same way, just not as fast. IMHO using the seat belts ain't a sissy thing.
enjoyed the vid. i just scored myself a diesel 4x4 kawasaki mule for $1250. wasn't expecting it to run but it did! radiators were leaking so didn't doubt the head gasket was gone which it had. breaks need attention but all in all an awesome find. they are super fun! your vid came right at the right time! cheers from down under.
The milkiness in the transmission is possible that they have run the vehicle hot through a stream. The hot running transmission shafts cool and it sucks water past the seals. In Australia it is quite common practice to stop before crossing to let axles cool. Also could be a breather hose broken (they normally go high into the cabin.) Good job!
Another great and teachable moment video as always. The best part was the smile on your face while driving your new toy! Also seeing as you stated the easter egg moment (house progress) we saw as driving by. Can't wait to see it when done, I know you'll be keeping inside private but it looks like you'll be making your wife quite happy when it's all done as well as yourself. It's all well-deserved because you work hard. Keep up the great videos and will be watching has been for quite some time now.
The 2 rear drain plugs are for the engine oil, the main transmission is in the engine, the front one that was milky is the subtransmission, luckily all the clutches are in the engine not the subtransmission
Love your show you are the only one that does stick weilding . My wife enjoyes your show too, I am left handed too a left handed person uses the right side of the brain so that means that we are in our right mind.
Matt, anytime you have a vehicle with large electrical plugs that sit out in the elements (boats are extremely susceptible) and collect moisture, once you can get the electrical part+connection DRY, put a GOB of white lithium grease or Vaseline on and around the plug and work it into the wires that go into the plug until you can see there is no openings. That grease will last for years and not cause the plug to jam in the socket. It will prevent moisture from being a pain. You can also use a heat gun and wax to seal those plugs+wires.
Matt, I loved your enthusiasm when it first started up. I knew it was a multi-year project because the install date on your new battery was 7-22, but the video only released this afternoon. You’ll have to record Eva enjoying the side x side too.
Love the sneak peek of the house build. It looks amazing. Love seeing the smile on your face full of joy, happiness and satisfaction of a successful project...
20:26 - 20:36 This was one of the plus sides of these videos a few years when I say you and binged through almost all of your old content till I caught up. I laughed but enjoyed when you sometimes skipped years in a single video and appreciated you giving updates when you had enough content.
Hi Matt,welcome to Honda land! Mind those trees when you weave through them,it’s not speed that kills,it’s the sudden stop at the end! The time and money are well spent in my opinion. Enjoy👍✅
I had to rewind the video just to verify that I wasn’t seeing things. I hope there is a video in the future of the house framing. Keep up the great work. I thoroughly enjoy your postings.
6:15, Matt, I use RTV glue to put the BATTERY nuts in and tighten it down, and then put the RTV glue underneath that way the nut is always ready to be used in position...
It's a rare machine so Service will have a time-lag. I could'nt get a sense of the acceleration from the forward camera shots but the rear view worked very well @ 103:00 All those shots from 103-104 were good. Fun video thanks for posting.
Wow! The house went up fast! I had to look at the date this video was posted when I first started watching it as things have changed so much - thought maybe Matt found a long lost video. I had forgotten about the SxS - we had seen it in a few videos in the shop in the past, but it just vanished. Thanks for closing out the project.
I have had too much coffee.... I think I see 6 or 7 Cub Cadets in the background, cool. I was surprised you started up a vibrating machine with things laying loose in the front by the battery, a can, another battery, etc. 7 yrs ago I got lucky 3 times buying 6x6 military trucks from online auction. I am surprised you did not pressure wash the whole machine before working on it, makes it much more pleasant to work on. Thanks for sharing, really like your vids.
Matt got his start collecting Cub Cadets. There's a couple older videos where he does a bit of work on them, they also got caught in a flood a few years back.
code "62" is for the torque converter clutch circuit performance issue or a stuck off condition. Code "14" is "no feedback signal from igniter to ECU for 4 consecutive ignition during engine running". there you go
...you would be advised to check both of those rear CV joints; clean 'em up, grease 'em, and at least replace the torn boot. Otherwise they could lock up on you and cause further damage you don't need. Love your videos...🙂👍
If you wedge a piece of vent tubing behind the battery nut it will hold it in place allowing you to catch threads even with accessory terminals mounted to the terminals.
Matt, your new house looks great. Glad you are able to enjoy a new shop and home while you are young enough to enjoy it with the kids before the challenges of senior life set in.
"Captain, there be a house in the background!" Nice! That poor old CJ is sitting there thinking, "Why didn't he spend all that money on me?" Glad to see you got the many issues sorted out.
As long as you say what you did and what happened after and what your thinking, troubleshooting videos are always interesting to other troubleshooters.. as long as you dont leave em hanging or give up totally on it.. its always interesting to see resolutions on issues.. because when you spend your time on something and keep failing its nice to see a resolution somebody else fought for and accomplished.. motivation and inspiration.. everybody needs it, sometimes its hard to find. As is with life.. sometimes its feels like itd be better to quit but seeing different things helps.. giving up on projects like this would make me not want to watch this channel anymore..
When I see even the used prices on these, I think you could buy an older Jeep for the money, but watching you zip around I can see the power to weight ratio leads to a lot of fun. I see the attraction. You're having fun with it, so that's all that matters. The house is looking great!
To put the screws through the square terminal and catch the nut, take a wire tie, fold the free end over and stick it under the nut. The wire tie will hold the nut up so the screw can engage it.
Love your videos! I just have a tip on checking wiring. Testing continuity with a multimeter is often useless. That's because a very damaged and corroded wire can often pass the test. What you should use instead is a test light of an appropriate amp draw. Like an old school blinker bulb for low amp, and a headlight bulb for high amp. That'll tell you if the wire has continuity and if it can carry current. Also you want to be careful front probing plugs like that. It's much safer to use a T-pin to back probe the connector so you don't risk damaging the contacts.
Hi Matt the paint job on the Auto car looks awesome and your new house looks great. Can we have another project walk through cause you have a lot of stuff in the yard. Enjoying it all immensely. Regards Andy from Australia
If it’s this complicated, why doesn’t it have an OBD2 port? And at what point is there a right to repair argument here when the dealership can’t even read the diagnostics?
Matt test the neutral switch with A digital multimeter. It's electronic powered switch for allowing ⚙️ gear to ⚙️ gear selection position controller switch for what gear to shift itself into by.
Power sport battery nuts made easy. I have a piece of old lead acid battery vent tube. Cut off about a 1/4 or 3/8" Smash it flat and put behind the nut to hold it forward. Now even it you have a couple of other connections, battery tender, winch power, etc. It will hold the nut forward while allowing it to float, while you find the screw.
Very cool but I know how a shop can forget about the cust. And a ride video with eva would be nice be get to see her . Kudos on the house caught a glimpse in the background looks great 👍
This isn't a joke. Once the problem gets bad enough it will make the issue obvious. On a piece of equipment like this that's exactly what you want to do - wait for problem to become an actual problem and then fix it before it breaks.
Matt, that’s probably the most fun I’ve had watching you have with a project. When you drove it up the incline that was fun! You can drive lol, I can tell you know how to play! That was extremely entertaining to watch the process. Hindsight is 20/20, and you never know how easy a fix it’s going to be, but it’s too bad you couldn’t save a lot of time and had it fixed to begin with! You could have had it much sooner and been having fun. (Maybe you splurge and buy something newer lol down the road?). Just love your entire style! Your attitude/disposition are outstanding!! I’ll be a lifetime fan!! Your intelligence, patience, and determination (fortitude) make me a fan!!
Windshield: I put a cheap eizenglass-type on the wife's mule over 10 years ago. Never optically perfect, and gets some scratches going through brush but was cheap and just mounts with zip-ties. Keeps the worst of rain and cold air out.
The mind is an incredible thing. As Matt buzzed around the property, his shirt came to my attention.. That looks familiar. Going to my closet I pulled what seems to be the same shirt..a Dockers. My shirt must be 30 years old. I ike following this channel from 2 trailer boxes to an enviable shop with plenty of boy toys.
Matt , your wealth of knowledge on mechanicals from all eras far outways any modern electrical doo dabs on motors. That's why there ARE so many individual brand workshops. Anyway that little beaut looks fantastic fun , and for you and your wife be very convenient for getting around your property.
I am a small engine and motorcycle mechanic. Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, all have a policy on working on product. They replace they do not repair! The corporate structure is all about modular concept. They build them as units there for no repair of components is needed. Techs are taught to find the issue then replace the component! Time is money with these dealerships! JOHN DEERE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS!
What really ticks me off is they are still using old tech. With computers today those systems should be able to tell you exactly what is wrong and what part to replace. Yet it is still the same old code crap like it was decades and decades ago. One cool thing that came out of Tesla's Cybertruck is the new 48v system that allows you to do know exactly what is wrong with everything via a computer system.
@@kameljoe21 Thats because there is often no way for the computer to know exactly what is wrong. In this case, there was multiple failures that made the computer think that one part was failing, but it was actually another combination of parts that had failed that made it seem like the other part had failed. Often a code will point you close to what the issue is, but rarely can tell you exactly what is wrong even taking out the physical component failures, in cases like programming when you have made a mistake in your code, even though you are writing computer code and the computer (well IDE) knows the rules of the language you are writing, the mistake you made often makes the computer think another part of the code is at fault. I can say with near certainty that the cybertruck can have failures that the computer cannot recognise.
@@djenson This is because it takes so much wire to run a wire to every single unit for testing. With micro computers you can do that processing at each location and then send that data over Ethernet to the main computer. For example a door has a large number of things on it from the door jam light, speakers, window motor, mirror motor, door lock, door sensors, and several other things. You can put a micro computer in that door and it can process everything including knowing if it is working or not. Then when you send a command to each segment it will send back an okay code or send back the code of the fault. This is what the cyber truck 48v system does. The Ethernet can deliver a good amount of power at higher voltages and times are changing and we will see much higher voltage items as they can deliver better overall diagnose. There is no point in this day and age where a car that failed can not spit out exactly what part it needs to fix it. You can not do it with older stuff yet if the big legacy automotive companies get on board and develope a standard 48v system and stick to it we will see far better cars and faster turn around time for car repairs. People will buy the cars that do this because time spent in the shop is valuable to people.
@@kameljoe21 Have you ever heard of a canbus system? Because that's exactly what you are describing and has been in most vehicles since 2007. 48V saves copper and increases efficiency. It does not aid in self diagnosis.
6:19 Put a litttle piece of tube behind the nut inside the terminal so it stays in place before you put the battery in place. Works great for me. The piece of tube you when buying an acid battery works for that purpose, just cut a little off.
All the years watching you save old iron I never thought I'd have a project. 7 years here at the mango farm central Thailand I'd watch my 90 year old neighbor cruise in his WW 2 Jeep. His daughter forced him to move to town and now his mango tree's and the Jeep is under our roof. The frame and body is solid but it has an old Isuzu diesel in it. I'm too old to start that restore project but seeing you take 3 years on this gives me hope. For now the Jeep is on blocks storing my wife's garden supplies.
The oil pressure light makes me think low oil pressure and a lot of newer stuff has a low oil pressure cutoff that kills the engine so it doesn’t get burned up
Hi Matt. this video gives me an idea for a suggestion. Maybe you could look back through your archive and stitch together bits and pieces of footage that show the development of your property from when there was nothing there through to getting the house finished. I was fascinated watching this one, seeing the workshop with a clear floor through to seeing it in its present state.
Yeah, wincing when you were working under the vehicle held up by the forklift. That's not safe. You should know better. Please be careful. We want to see lots more episodes.
Your diagnostics and ability communicating with your audience is commendable. Down to earth; to the point; educational. Keep up the good work. PS: having to position the camera is commendable in and of itself! Whitey warner
If Matt's owned this a year already and we just now seeing the video, only tells me Matt is so far backed up he can NEVER retire or die until we see all the projects!!😊
The collecting data and sending it in to the manufacture is actually common especially when the failure its difficult to pinpoint and/or still under warranty. Also helps the manufacturer keep track of trending failures. Even small engine shops do it. I had a old mack come in with a check engine light. Found a code had logged about 400 times. Did the diagnostics. Said it needed a sensor. Replaced it. Code came back 10 miles later. This is where i had to send in the data. Sent in the data. Manufacture replied back couple hours later, i spend about 15 minutes on the phone going over whats going on. Basically told me, the heck with the diagnostic tests, it needs this, this , this and this. Even though those parts passed the tests. Replaced what they said to replace. Problem was gone.
I have a 2016 1000, the best winshield I've found is the Super ATV flip up winshield. Bought mine from Amazon 4 years ago, use it in the woods and its still scratch free.
Hey Matt, You should look into how 3D SCANNING and Printing can upgrade your business. You can scan and print NEW plastic parts that cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for less than 10 bucks. Just scan the old part and repair it on your computer cad program and print. As long as you use them on your equipment and are not selling them, you won't infringe on patents. A lot of parts scans for a myriad of machines are already on websites. You can even get METAL part 3D printers.

@@Happyfacehotwheels yeah that’s definitely a valid point, but a lot of people don’t wanna do that and most just replace them.
Thats my experience as well, cheaped out and now Im regretting it
It's ridiculous that new side by sides cost as much as new a car... which are also priced ridiculously.
As long as people buy them, the price will continue to go up until they stop buying. It's gotta be getting close to that point.
And with the accompanying crappy build quality

Yea, it takes a different sort of brain to go methodically through all of the wiring, sensors and connectors to chase down intermittent issues.

They use them like a morooka, and sometimes along side morookas. They get very heavy use, with minimal maintenance. The mechanics don't really care to mess with them too much, when they have hoes, skid steers, and dozers at the top of the list.
1.04.28 . The house is coming on amazing.
UA-cam money is flooding in. You have no idea how much popular UA-camrs make 😂😂😂
@@bobbyr8071 One youtuber I follow is making over $1million a year just from youtube moneyand over a million from patreon
So it will be ready by Easter?
@@bobbyr8071 this dude deserves it though seems like a genuine guy, glad he hit the youtube latto!
@@nettneo haha easter egg means hidden message not necessarily it will be done in easter haha
Matt, the house looks like a home. The location and surroundings, as a longtime photographer, 37 years, is extremely photogenic. I am so happy for you. Be safe on your travels. We lost a good friend to a tree a few years back. May you continue to be abundantly blessed. Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us. John here, photographing the beautiful back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
Post some on your site!❤
Just passed 42:36 in the video, and my bets are:
They ran the poor thing in to deep water/mud and got it all into the TCM and the transmission. They salvaged the vehicle, cleaned it off but it proved to have issues, causing em to sell it.
I figure at this point that the double clutch didn't like that oil-milk you drained, Matt...
Just because a wire has continuity or voltage is present doesn’t mean it can carry a load. Corrosion will decrease the amperage but still show battery voltage.
I bought, repaired and sold 11 of the Polaris side by sides from those auctions. The inspectors either don't care or don't know what they are looking at. Big benefit for me. Don't be afraid to buy them, nice return on investment.
House is looking good, can't wait for that video to drop.
Gotta be careful zipping around like that. We just had a local guy die not too long ago driving around in a UTV like that, he lost control and rolled it. Stay safe.
I was thinking the same thing - we lost a local kid who was thrown out and the UTV rolled over him. Year before lost an old rancher the same way, just not as fast. IMHO using the seat belts ain't a sissy thing.
enjoyed the vid. i just scored myself a diesel 4x4 kawasaki mule for $1250. wasn't expecting it to run but it did! radiators were leaking so didn't doubt the head gasket was gone which it had. breaks need attention but all in all an awesome find. they are super fun! your vid came right at the right time! cheers from down under.
The milkiness in the transmission is possible that they have run the vehicle hot through a stream. The hot running transmission shafts cool and it sucks water past the seals. In Australia it is quite common practice to stop before crossing to let axles cool. Also could be a breather hose broken (they normally go high into the cabin.) Good job!
Check out the shifter linkage.😮 16:42
Another great and teachable moment video as always. The best part was the smile on your face while driving your new toy! Also seeing as you stated the easter egg moment (house progress) we saw as driving by. Can't wait to see it when done, I know you'll be keeping inside private but it looks like you'll be making your wife quite happy when it's all done as well as yourself. It's all well-deserved because you work hard. Keep up the great videos and will be watching has been for quite some time now.
The 2 rear drain plugs are for the engine oil, the main transmission is in the engine, the front one that was milky is the subtransmission, luckily all the clutches are in the engine not the subtransmission
Love your show you are the only one that does stick weilding . My wife enjoyes your show too, I am left handed too a left handed person uses the right side of the brain so that means that we are in our right mind.
Zip ties and bias plys stick welds as well
Matt, anytime you have a vehicle with large electrical plugs that sit out in the elements (boats are extremely susceptible) and collect moisture, once you can get the electrical part+connection DRY, put a GOB of white lithium grease or Vaseline on and around the plug and work it into the wires that go into the plug until you can see there is no openings. That grease will last for years and not cause the plug to jam in the socket. It will prevent moisture from being a pain. You can also use a heat gun and wax to seal those plugs+wires.
Matt, I loved your enthusiasm when it first started up. I knew it was a multi-year project because the install date on your new battery was 7-22, but the video only released this afternoon.
You’ll have to record Eva enjoying the side x side too.
I saw the 7-22 but my brain thought month and day since that is my birthday.
Love the sneak peek of the house build. It looks amazing. Love seeing the smile on your face full of joy, happiness and satisfaction of a successful project...
20:26 - 20:36 This was one of the plus sides of these videos a few years when I say you and binged through almost all of your old content till I caught up. I laughed but enjoyed when you sometimes skipped years in a single video and appreciated you giving updates when you had enough content.
Hi Matt,welcome to Honda land! Mind those trees when you weave through them,it’s not speed that kills,it’s the sudden stop at the end!
The time and money are well spent in my opinion. Enjoy👍✅
I really like the fact that you were honest as this was a bit of a failed project . A lesson for us all when buying at auction.
I was quite surprised seeing the house in the background just for a brief second, it's really come a long way!!!
I had to rewind the video just to verify that I wasn’t seeing things. I hope there is a video in the future of the house framing. Keep up the great work. I thoroughly enjoy your postings.
6:15, Matt, I use RTV glue to put the BATTERY nuts in and tighten it down, and then put the RTV glue underneath that way the nut is always ready to be used in position...
I always put a shout piece of tubing (like comes with the flooded cells for venting) under the battery nut. Keeps in place for installation.
1:02:38 I love the “weeeeee”. It really shows how much you love it!
It's a rare machine so Service will have a time-lag. I could'nt get a sense of the acceleration from the forward camera shots but the rear view worked very well @ 103:00 All those shots from 103-104 were good. Fun video thanks for posting.
Wow! The house went up fast! I had to look at the date this video was posted when I first started watching it as things have changed so much - thought maybe Matt found a long lost video. I had forgotten about the SxS - we had seen it in a few videos in the shop in the past, but it just vanished. Thanks for closing out the project.
I have had too much coffee.... I think I see 6 or 7 Cub Cadets in the background, cool. I was surprised you started up a vibrating machine with things laying loose in the front by the battery, a can, another battery, etc. 7 yrs ago I got lucky 3 times buying 6x6 military trucks from online auction. I am surprised you did not pressure wash the whole machine before working on it, makes it much more pleasant to work on. Thanks for sharing, really like your vids.
6 or 7? That's just the first row.
Matt got his start collecting Cub Cadets. There's a couple older videos where he does a bit of work on them, they also got caught in a flood a few years back.
I think he’s stated before that he has more in storage off site
code "62" is for the torque converter clutch circuit performance issue or a stuck off condition. Code "14" is "no feedback signal from igniter to ECU for 4 consecutive ignition during engine running". there you go
...you would be advised to check both of those rear CV joints; clean 'em up, grease 'em, and at least replace the torn boot. Otherwise they could lock up on you and cause further damage you don't need. Love your videos...🙂👍
If you wedge a piece of vent tubing behind the battery nut it will hold it in place allowing you to catch threads even with accessory terminals mounted to the terminals.
Matt, your new house looks great. Glad you are able to enjoy a new shop and home while you are young enough to enjoy it with the kids before the challenges of senior life set in.
I'll keep my 42 and 43 mil jeep. Only problem is at 73 it's hard as all get out to get in/out. Both still run and drive well.
"Captain, there be a house in the background!" Nice! That poor old CJ is sitting there thinking, "Why didn't he spend all that money on me?" Glad to see you got the many issues sorted out.
Those things are getting so expensive, I wonder if anyone is getting married to one because that is something the wife would say.
As long as you say what you did and what happened after and what your thinking, troubleshooting videos are always interesting to other troubleshooters.. as long as you dont leave em hanging or give up totally on it.. its always interesting to see resolutions on issues.. because when you spend your time on something and keep failing its nice to see a resolution somebody else fought for and accomplished.. motivation and inspiration.. everybody needs it, sometimes its hard to find. As is with life.. sometimes its feels like itd be better to quit but seeing different things helps.. giving up on projects like this would make me not want to watch this channel anymore..
When I see even the used prices on these, I think you could buy an older Jeep for the money, but watching you zip around I can see the power to weight ratio leads to a lot of fun. I see the attraction. You're having fun with it, so that's all that matters. The house is looking great!
To put the screws through the square terminal and catch the nut, take a wire tie, fold the free end over and stick it under the nut. The wire tie will hold the nut up so the screw can engage it.
Not sure why Matt didn't have a SBS before but we're all glad he has one now. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
The day is now awesome anytime diesel creek posts is very good day
Love your videos! I just have a tip on checking wiring. Testing continuity with a multimeter is often useless. That's because a very damaged and corroded wire can often pass the test. What you should use instead is a test light of an appropriate amp draw. Like an old school blinker bulb for low amp, and a headlight bulb for high amp. That'll tell you if the wire has continuity and if it can carry current. Also you want to be careful front probing plugs like that. It's much safer to use a T-pin to back probe the connector so you don't risk damaging the contacts.
Hi Matt the paint job on the Auto car looks awesome and your new house looks great. Can we have another project walk through cause you have a lot of stuff in the yard. Enjoying it all immensely. Regards Andy from Australia
A little late but always a good day when Matt posts!
Come on…..Matt has been busy building hid dream home!
Loved the Easter egg, it looks great! ❤ You deserve it.
I totally agree! Sure BEATS the church project!
@@kenc1800 the church was just a rental, this is home
6:26 In my Motorcyclbatteries i fixed the nuts with hot glue in a way that it does not obstruct the contact.
That's a pretty good idea!
Or try a little bit of fuel line wedged under the nuts.
1:04:28 Oh ! I like that "little space" over the garage. And the breezeway, is a very nice touch.
If it’s this complicated, why doesn’t it have an OBD2 port?
And at what point is there a right to repair argument here when the dealership can’t even read the diagnostics?
The point of right to repair was 20 years ago when shit stopped being servicable and the only fix is to throw it in the trash and buy a new one
Matt test the neutral switch with A digital multimeter. It's electronic powered switch for allowing ⚙️ gear to ⚙️ gear selection position controller switch for what gear to shift itself into by.
Just sat down to eat some lunch and a new diesel creek popped up! Yay!!!
Glad you found a new toy, Matt.😊 As always, I always enjoy your videos. Good luck with your house! 🎉
Power sport battery nuts made easy. I have a piece of old lead acid battery vent tube. Cut off about a 1/4 or 3/8" Smash it flat and put behind the nut to hold it forward. Now even it you have a couple of other connections, battery tender, winch power, etc. It will hold the nut forward while allowing it to float, while you find the screw.
1:04:01 that's a sick camera pickup and continuous shot, holy
Someone noticed lol thanks!
Very cool but I know how a shop can forget about the cust.
And a ride video with eva would be nice be get to see her .
Kudos on the house caught a glimpse in the background looks great 👍
If a noise is unclear its a good idea to drive until it gets clearer.
Or install a load radio system with a sub woofer 🤓😜😝
This isn't a joke. Once the problem gets bad enough it will make the issue obvious. On a piece of equipment like this that's exactly what you want to do - wait for problem to become an actual problem and then fix it before it breaks.
I too can't believe he hasn't checked it properly, other than turning the key ❤
@1:04...
Dream House is looking AWESOME
I am looking forward to the update video
Matt, that’s probably the most fun I’ve had watching you have with a project. When you drove it up the incline that was fun! You can drive lol, I can tell you know how to play! That was extremely entertaining to watch the process. Hindsight is 20/20, and you never know how easy a fix it’s going to be, but it’s too bad you couldn’t save a lot of time and had it fixed to begin with! You could have had it much sooner and been having fun. (Maybe you splurge and buy something newer lol down the road?). Just love your entire style! Your attitude/disposition are outstanding!! I’ll be a lifetime fan!! Your intelligence, patience, and determination (fortitude) make me a fan!!
Windshield: I put a cheap eizenglass-type on the wife's mule over 10 years ago. Never optically perfect, and gets some scratches going through brush but was cheap and just mounts with zip-ties. Keeps the worst of rain and cold air out.
Another day, another awesome project. Can’t wait to see how you troubleshoot and bring this back to life!
"They usually need fuel to stay running." 😂
Well, as opposed to a Detroit with bad rings, for example. :)
The mind is an incredible thing. As Matt buzzed around the property, his shirt came to my attention.. That looks familiar. Going to my closet I pulled what seems to be the same shirt..a Dockers. My shirt must be 30 years old. I ike following this channel from 2 trailer boxes to an enviable shop with plenty of boy toys.
Matt , your wealth of knowledge on mechanicals from all eras far outways any modern electrical doo dabs on motors. That's why there ARE so many individual brand workshops. Anyway that little beaut looks fantastic fun , and for you and your wife be very convenient for getting around your property.
Finally! A DC video to watch with a cold one on a Sunday Afternoon!
I am a small engine and motorcycle mechanic. Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, all have a policy on working on product. They replace they do not repair! The corporate structure is all about modular concept. They build them as units there for no repair of components is needed. Techs are taught to find the issue then replace the component! Time is money with these dealerships! JOHN DEERE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS!
What really ticks me off is they are still using old tech. With computers today those systems should be able to tell you exactly what is wrong and what part to replace. Yet it is still the same old code crap like it was decades and decades ago. One cool thing that came out of Tesla's Cybertruck is the new 48v system that allows you to do know exactly what is wrong with everything via a computer system.
@@kameljoe21 Thats because there is often no way for the computer to know exactly what is wrong. In this case, there was multiple failures that made the computer think that one part was failing, but it was actually another combination of parts that had failed that made it seem like the other part had failed. Often a code will point you close to what the issue is, but rarely can tell you exactly what is wrong
even taking out the physical component failures, in cases like programming when you have made a mistake in your code, even though you are writing computer code and the computer (well IDE) knows the rules of the language you are writing, the mistake you made often makes the computer think another part of the code is at fault.
I can say with near certainty that the cybertruck can have failures that the computer cannot recognise.
@@djenson This is because it takes so much wire to run a wire to every single unit for testing. With micro computers you can do that processing at each location and then send that data over Ethernet to the main computer. For example a door has a large number of things on it from the door jam light, speakers, window motor, mirror motor, door lock, door sensors, and several other things. You can put a micro computer in that door and it can process everything including knowing if it is working or not. Then when you send a command to each segment it will send back an okay code or send back the code of the fault. This is what the cyber truck 48v system does. The Ethernet can deliver a good amount of power at higher voltages and times are changing and we will see much higher voltage items as they can deliver better overall diagnose. There is no point in this day and age where a car that failed can not spit out exactly what part it needs to fix it. You can not do it with older stuff yet if the big legacy automotive companies get on board and develope a standard 48v system and stick to it we will see far better cars and faster turn around time for car repairs. People will buy the cars that do this because time spent in the shop is valuable to people.
@@kameljoe21 Have you ever heard of a canbus system? Because that's exactly what you are describing and has been in most vehicles since 2007. 48V saves copper and increases efficiency. It does not aid in self diagnosis.
Nice buy. I’m sure that Honda will become one of you and the mrs.favorite machines on the farm .
6:19 Put a litttle piece of tube behind the nut inside the terminal so it stays in place before you put the battery in place. Works great for me. The piece of tube you when buying an acid battery works for that purpose, just cut a little off.
All the years watching you save old iron I never thought I'd have a project. 7 years here at the mango farm central Thailand I'd watch my 90 year old neighbor cruise in his WW 2 Jeep. His daughter forced him to move to town and now his mango tree's and the Jeep is under our roof. The frame and body is solid but it has an old Isuzu diesel in it. I'm too old to start that restore project but seeing you take 3 years on this gives me hope. For now the Jeep is on blocks storing my wife's garden supplies.
I'm in Pattaya. Love the LOS.
How did you ever live without this? what a great toy this is, it makes you look young again.
i completely forgot about this machine. thanks for the upload as always i really enjoy your videos!
Easter egg looks nice coming along further than I thought
The oil pressure light makes me think low oil pressure and a lot of newer stuff has a low oil pressure cutoff that kills the engine so it doesn’t get burned up
Then it wouldn’t do it when you put it in gear it would just do it
She's a RIPPER, Matt!!!! Quite a handful threading the needle through all the trees....great content and easter egg with the house framed up.
Hi Matt. this video gives me an idea for a suggestion.
Maybe you could look back through your archive and stitch together bits and pieces of footage that show the development of your property from when there was nothing there through to getting the house finished. I was fascinated watching this one, seeing the workshop with a clear floor through to seeing it in its present state.
A two year long video, cool but nice to get some closure on this one, on to the next! Good to see you making progress on your house too 👍
So would be nice to see a shop overhead Crain video. Stay safe.
Safe to say that's not gonna happen at this point.
Yeah, wincing when you were working under the vehicle held up by the forklift. That's not safe. You should know better. Please be careful. We want to see lots more episodes.
Crain??
@@jaygraham5407 Yeah. Spelling is going by the wayside these days!

If Matt's owned this a year already and we just now seeing the video, only tells me Matt is so far backed up he can NEVER retire or die until we see all the projects!!😊
😂😂
bought one "blown up" it was a broken valve spring, now i dont even walk to the mailbox!
Knowing what you don't know, and when it is time to punt to the pro is not shame.
The collecting data and sending it in to the manufacture is actually common especially when the failure its difficult to pinpoint and/or still under warranty. Also helps the manufacturer keep track of trending failures. Even small engine shops do it. I had a old mack come in with a check engine light. Found a code had logged about 400 times. Did the diagnostics. Said it needed a sensor. Replaced it. Code came back 10 miles later. This is where i had to send in the data. Sent in the data. Manufacture replied back couple hours later, i spend about 15 minutes on the phone going over whats going on. Basically told me, the heck with the diagnostic tests, it needs this, this , this and this. Even though those parts passed the tests. Replaced what they said to replace. Problem was gone.
I have a 2016 1000, the best winshield I've found is the Super ATV flip up winshield. Bought mine from Amazon 4 years ago, use it in the woods and its still scratch free.
Hey Matt, You should look into how 3D SCANNING and Printing can upgrade your business. You can scan and print NEW plastic parts that cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for less than 10 bucks. Just scan the old part and repair it on your computer cad program and print. As long as you use them on your equipment and are not selling them, you won't infringe on patents. A lot of parts scans for a myriad of machines are already on websites. You can even get METAL part 3D printers.
