i got the new air compressor pump
here's the old one dude got to put that back on this bad boy right here
you're probably wondering why did i stick a bunch of bolts through the whole entire
thing and not tighten up these bolts well it's kind of easy to figure out actually
i didn't want the gasket to droop and as i tighten the outside corners because i
i got to do that first if i do that and the gasket droops then i can't line up those
bolt holes so if i stick a bunch of bolts in there it's lined up i can tighten the
outsides take the bolts out and i can put the other cooler on it's coming together fun fun
and i forgot to say this on camera
for me to mount that steering sector or the hand pump underneath the cab it would have cost us
close to a thousand dollars worth of hydraulic lines because they are big old massive lines
so as much as i wanted to we made the call to not mount it on the bottom of the cab and keep it
mounted to the tractor so mounted it back on there i'm not too excited about that because i know
that water and dirt is going to get in there and start grinding and chewing up all the splines but
the thing is that hand pump was on this tractor for over 40 years and then it finally had an issue
well if we get another 20 years out of that one that's doing pretty good hopefully more this seat
is so comfy so incredibly comfy compared to not like the other one was really bad but it just
they're just so much different let's bolt that down good deal i'm happy
it's
one seat's in now we're gonna grab the second one up on top of the
platform up here whatever we call it my arm's muscling around i'm gonna get
the winch ready and we're gonna pull her down and then that tractor is gonna get a red seat
okay we can leave it like that now i figured out how to pull this whole sea apart on the other one
and basically for me to do it easier i'll take the cushions off take some of the wiring off so then
i can separate the seat from the mechanism down below that raises and lower with your
air compressor and then i can get this in the door because it's such a big massive
seat which is kind of cool goes with a nice big bud but i'll get that in then i got to take
this apart and we'll re-change those plates so i can pivot more than what it used to be
but in the meantime um got to take these out it's really really simple
i love how how simple it is that they they made this thing
carefully oh beautiful it's got a little cool fan on the bottom too right there there we go perfect
now the reason for is i got to access these screws right here so i can pull that bottom plate off
this is when i'm like engineers you guys got it right you did a great job it's awesome
and i'm serious about that i'm not being sarcastic i'm dead serious because i've had to modify these
before in our big buds where they only allow a certain rotation and then they stop and then
when you take it apart they have slots cut out and that's all you can do like it only maximizes
that one movement this here they knocked it out of the park they've got all these holes where
you can move these two stops right here you can position them where you want and then that way
the seat can rock back and forth i well done that's all i have to say
and just like that seat has a lot more flexibility in it this seat has got so many customizable
features for your body and a big boy like me it's nice to have extra features
here's one issue for those seats to be in the big buds i mean it's kind of small but
it's still an issue for some reason and i don't know why but ksih did not design these things
for big buds it's kind of weird right so
here's the thing i got to do because this sticks out so far when you swivel that chair that armrest
unit actually hits your hydraulic levers and your ac and uh heater core unit that's inside
the big butts so you can't swivel that chair back and forth so since i've got my prototype made i
almost hit myself in the face and that seems to fit it is time for me to take this one and
chop it up i feel guilty doing this guys i feel like i shouldn't be touching these things but
i have to and it's a necessity so and the best way for me to chop it up
which is surprising skill soft
hey
well good news we finally after a while it took quite a while actually we got the last gasket
to put this cooler back on the big bud this is the cooler that cools the transmission
so i'm going to just take a honer and just slightly hone these i don't want to go much
just to take off a little bit of a ridge here clean those up clean the face up and this
here i'll make sure that this face here is all cleaned up make sure the o-rings are looking good
and then let's put this thing back together so in that way this tractor is drivable
because i think it really needs to be drivable because we need to use it in a few weeks or days
oh now here comes the fun part i gotta lift that big
cooler set it on here without damaging the gasket and trying to put the bolts in the holes fun
i actually don't have a gasket for this right here so you go down to your parts store
and you can get make your own gasket so yeah i'm gonna make my own just tap around the holes
and it automatically starts to cut your gasket out
and then like so you got yourself a gasket isn't that just nifty otherwise
you're sitting there with a scissors or a knife and uh you don't do as good of a job
you
