I work with a few myself , As a fellow you tuber ,what amazes me about Andrew is that he does all this and captures it on film and edits it all himself,I think the filming part is harder than the work he does, from him running the drone while he’s driving,to him running the selfie stick in one hand and driving the wave runner at the same time lol, he is amazing with his tireless filming and editing work.

Close to 30 years ago I was working on heavy equipment for a company that was on an absolute shoestring. So we had no books or spare parts and much of our equipment had to do with distributing salt for roads and parking lots. I was alllllways doing jobs like this with no spec sheets to tell me where lines went that I had removed 3-4 weeks beforehand. So I started spray painting the ends of hydraulic hoses and fittings and their ports. So you would see red on a hose, it's fitting and the port it was attached to. I used JD Green, Ford engine BLUE, Implement RED and you get the picture. We had no internet or cell phones to take pictures, so you had to do something to remember what was what and it also helped the hydraulic shop to know what fittings went with what hoses and lines...

Excellent mechanical workmanship. Loved the "liquid wrench" and excavator "prybar". All round joy to watch. You remind me of years past working with my son. I'm 75 & he's 55. We've done it all, without the video camera. Work can be fun and rewarding. It helps if you can make a living at it too. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you on a paying job in a while. Just a thought.

When you hear up a bolt and where the bolt goes into, as soon as you shut down the torches have a spray bottle on steady stream and spray the shit out of the bolt and metal where the bolt goes into because they are 2 different kinds of metal 1 cast 2 steel they will cool at different rates and crack the rust between them I kid you not. It's a step a ton of mechanics over look but I was fortunate to have learned from all "Old" Schoolers these guys were great to get to know. You had to earn their respect and then they would open up & teach you everything & anything especially all the little tricks of our trade. Luv the video thanks for Sharing. Andrew in Barrie ON Canada

You did a great job Andrew, all I'll say is where the new motor mounts on the frame and where the sprocket fits to the motor, I'd blather the surfaces with grease so in a few years time, when you want to take it apart, it will come apart real easy. Same with all the mounting bolts, splather them with grease before doing them up.

Enjoy watching your videos Andrew. As I was watching this one I saw all the rust around the drive motor and the fittings and I wondered what the rubberized bed liner in the spray can would do about protecting all that MONEY. Probably hit it with a sand blaster and then put a fairly heavy coat of that liner on it might would save you some money and maintenance down time. Again I enjoy watching the videos you post, keep up the good work and work safe. Lee

Great work on removing those broken bolts. The last one you did you weren't shocking that Bolt enough and then you let it cool write down and it came loose right away. After I weld a nut on I will let it cool slightly and then I will douse it with water to shock it down and it removes inside rust and scale.i say again great work on the Bobcat. All of us from Canada and a great New Year.

I really like your channel, great job on documenting these things. At 18:08, the bolt that kept breaking off...get an impact driver, set the torque at the low setting, and alternate loosening and tightening to break the bolt loose. slowly increase the torque setting...You can take a rusted solid bolt and just by putting a long breaker bar on the socket, you can twist the bolt in half. So, it's not the power level on the wrench, its the thousands of tiny taps that break it loose without twisting it in half. Good job on showing viewers to replace with quality bolts and anti-seize.

Finally. I saw you put the copper based never seize on a bolt. It really helps later on. The nickle base never seize works good also.
