leg arm look on the cover here and said that there was something wrong with the
scroll Wow
alright guys welcome back we've been making progress in the tractor we've got
a lot to do let's get to it
we're gonna clean a surface off to all the gravel off go tools out of here
there's an access cover right here that a leg arms coming down so we're gonna
open this up I got to drain all the oil out of the tank clean the tank up it's
probably filing there over the years of pumps and stuff going out that's all we
took all this off let's have to come up through the paint we're making progress
he's over here
now we're putting all the oil in this thing doesn't really matter what Falls
they're coming Washington Ella but I just took my wrench here lift it up it's
been a lot of years since that's been open so we've got a drain plug right
here I just broke it loose I'm gonna take this hose I'm gonna put it over it
wanna rain all the hydraulic oil over this rub down here little messy that's
working like a charm
all right not too big of a mess it's got about 40 gallons out of it I think
that's about way to hold here's our gallons over here it's not old oil but
it's a good to change it so we're gonna get it same and leg arm looked on the
cover here and said that there was something wrong with the scroll Wow
let's get a light on that that's got problems Wow outer screen came apart
okay well we're gonna change that
so the purpose of a screen this is gonna catch most of the contaminants before it
gets into the suction side of the pump there's still one more inline filter
it's gonna catch all the small microns but this is an important piece and I
don't know what caused that outer layer to explode like that but uh we got to
get a new one pretty hard to clean in there a flush this washed it so now I'm
using paper towels and I'm wiping the inside down as much left possibly can
sell my Fidel then we're gonna throw a big magnet in there to catch any filings
for any future particles that are floating around put the new screen in
put oil in it back in business
if you like the brood we're putting these Palmas lights in this grill and
they're a little bit more square or a previous light we've had in there these
originally came with round lights so I cut out and made it for the other lights
logs you can tell I did a really bad job so we're fixing that it was little leg
arms then now it's big leg arms imagine that 75 watts each these babies gonna
kick out some serious lights and we first got this tractor there really
wasn't a great way to get on the back this thing it was kind of one step here
but it wasn't very good there's steel caps on the top so you can't even get up
there every now and then plus we put stuff up there and then so but there was
these temporary angle iron steps of a relative right here so leg arms gonna go
ahead and fabricate something a little better long as you can get up and down
without hitting your shins that's all I care right
back in his corner again
now originally across the back of this there was four lights and we're gonna
put four thomas lights on the back replace those but i've taken apart all
the old wiring right here as you could see it was strung underneath there that
powered them because the gauge wire is too small for these new tallest slides
Newton would like to take a lot more energy to run so I got to upgrade them
problem is that wiring goes underneath here I'm gonna go ahead and cut a lot of
the wire and snip it out pull it out of here so that way I can string the new
heavier gauge wire in that'll feed the new LED lights so let's go do that let's
come inside so this is underneath the back half of the tractor
you got a heavy-duty Clark axle I think this baby is rated at least 75,000
pounds lotta iron in here a lot of dirt we don't really about cleaning this area
that much because you don't do a bunch in here except for greasing certs like
that so I got a tank not these lines I check the airlines I got to take all
these wires out of here wire to run up and down
so let's get to snippet I'm not alone in here I think we're done in here so I can
get out but I'm have to come back in here again when I run the new wire
through when I come back in here I'll do a little grease and we're not gonna
paint in here because why would you paint here no one looks in here plus
it's just a dirty mess so let's get out of here
we just killed the hood off the top of the bud we're gonna get it down on the
ground that way we can work on it's a lot easier than being way up there plots
are some fabricating working these gun to it as well so we went and used the
boob truck to Scott got it on the ground got the grill off making progress so
guys I got good news Springs coming
so our farm was built in kind of a low spot and the water from the fields way
back behind our place here runs down right through here so every spring like
this one we get to this little river that comes running down down our farm
this is the runoff the fields are melting good sign means spring works
coming fast so we got to get on the ball get stuff done now some of you might be
wondering where does all this water go well actually you look right there it
flows on down our driveway with a low spot right by the road right there to
county road closed for culvert and often to that field down there to a big water
hole that we had to farm around but right here and where it all flows not
bad it looks pretty cool for a little kid I'd be stomping around in those
boots oh wait I was just stomping around in that boots guess I'm a little kid
it's good to take a little bit but edge this thing will melt is that a beater
chain bar in there
so every year guys this typically happens last couple years it's been more
so than what I remember growing up with a kid but y'all this water right here is
this amazing you guys saw earlier in the video it's all flown and it pools right
here the County Road acts like a big Dam there's a little Culver underneath this
approach right here and then it goes over to another culvert which then goes
out with a field up that way but it's slow and it can't keep up with the flow
that's happening right now there's a lot of flow a lot of water it's always kind
of fun as kids this is fun to play it
so we're getting to a point now where a lot of the major stuff is done that
needs to be done before paint the last and final thing really is we got to get
the scripts for this bud prep so right now leg gardens on the blue side over
here and he is grinding down and sanding the paint
we got to do that across the entire track there's a lot of areas of their
chips like right here on the hood feel that that's gotta get sanded down so a
lot of work ahead of us it's gonna be one of the big projects so we'll keep
going at it
so all these grind spots here is areas that have been chipped the paint has
scratches chips who knows from what rocks tools bottom line is for paint we
got to get that down and make it smooth so every one of those spots that's what
we're doing here is we're sanding it down to the metal and then blending the
original paint primer it's on there well clean all this up to do it but we still
got a lot of track left to do
another thing I needs done to this track in which I'm gonna do here real soon
it's gonna make a new clevis a new hook whatever you want to call it an anchor
point on the front of this tractor so when we get stuck stuck we can hook onto
it and not worry about it ripping off so what happened was this got ripped off
when we had it stuck really bad in the mud the worst he's ever had a tractor
stuck you can actually watch that it's a big butt tractors rolling coal and
playing in the mud so check that out but my plan is because we don't want to
anchor points we would like one to pull from the center this is inch thick steel
from the front underneath the welds it's heavy you're not doing anything to the
front of this this is as solid as it gets so I'm gonna go have a massive
chunk of iron made that looks like this and it's gonna go and it's gonna be
Brant like that and we're gonna weld that baby up like you will not believe
up at the side of it everything so it'll be able to pull that tractor out of
whatever we get it stuck in so that's the point
