The random talking at the end is hilarious. Only good friends can talk that much trash about you and all of you laugh. Y'all are a great group of people. Todd seems to be a very knowledgeable fellow. The 120 will be better then new when you guys finish.

And a new comedy team is born!!!!....Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello and now, Jason Worksalot and Man behind the scenes (need to shorten the name up a little)😉😉🤣🤣

How to tell a salesman is lying His mouth moves!! This is what I call a great time Friends like that are few these days great job my friends

There's no doubt that Todd of TorT is a great asset and a great friend! The website is fantastic, and Todd's knowledge is undeniably valuable. you wanna hold on to that guy!!!

Dirt Perfect sure knows a great group of guys .Todd is awesome. .

Michelle is a good sport. Those airheads are not the only heads spacing out in that shop. lol Aaron puts the "we" in welding. Great work. Cheers!

Wish you'd done this one six months ago. Great to see a parts dealer and an end user talking real world repairs. Another place to go when I break something. (Which is probably going to be soon!) Thanks again!

Loved the banter flowing backwards and forwards in this video bro. Safe travels

The banter is hilarious 🤣

When I was a young man full of pi$$ and vinegar I worked for a older man that had push scrapers, one self loader, a 850 John Deere dozier and 855 John Deere highlift and some other equipment. Worked weekends, and after hours from my day job. We were replacing some worn out parts on the dozers undercarriage and I referred to the chain as a rail. Next thing I felt was a slap upside the back of my head and he said you refer to that chain as a rail you will feel the same pain again. He said a rail is a stationary object, a chain is a moveable object. He said the rail is what the rollers, idler, carrier all connect to and the chain is the moveable object that rolls around it. Every time I hear someone call a chain on a dozier or highlift or excavator called a rail I feel that old man slap the back of my head. Lol

Definitely a lot of quality people in your corner of the world, with the odd appearance of other quality people to assist you in your shopwork. Always appear to have a laugh while fathoming out what and how to do the jobs at hand, whole you rush in and out on your way to more site visits etc..... Todd is a walking encyclopedia of track information, appears to have listened to the right people and taken their advice to grow his business, long may he have success, the same as you Mike 👍👍👍

New subscriber - great videos so far. I dont comment often to clips, but in this case, I had no choice but to give a shout out to "Man behind the scenes". You make me remember the fun and comraderie of being a Boilermaker! My goodness, some of the snickers and inneuendo that you use brings back memories of being a Boiler Rat. If you cant have fun on a job, "drag-up" and go to the next one, lol. Respects to all, Retired Boilermaker, Local 454!!!!!

Employee of truck or track and IMPCO. Love working for these companies

todd was great.great knowledge .need to do more videos with him.the guys did nice job

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Slave labor does it again!! Aaron & Jason are doing a fantastic job fixing your egg holes! Thumbs up!! These ancient history videos are pretty darn good!!! Jim

Jokers gonna joke, but when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, those jokers get stuff done! As for Truck & Track, excellent customer service brings repeat customers back, time and time again! Today, I learned more about an excavators undercarriage than I ever knew! Learn something NEW every day!

How it should be! Todd's company and way of doing business is a big plus of the past PLUS a phone number that will actually put you in touch with INFORMATION you need. I'll never do what you guys did but being mechanical I always need to know why & how so HUGE thank you for that. (ANOTHER classroom session with DIRT PERFECT!) Thanks to Mike, Todd, Aaron & Jason for the good information with a smile! Sonny (CT) NOTE: Anyone reading this, consider, Todd is a live textbook, has (or can get any part) and has low cost or FREE shipping! HUGE!!!

Just ordered some bushings from Todd, he was great to deal with. I will absolutely be ordering all my undercarriage and pins and bushings from them in the future

Great 👍 job 👍 boys!

Great video. Thanks for explaining all the steps replacing tracks and why. Todd's experience is worth its weight in gold. Sure would love to see Todd's shop breaking all the nuts and bolts in action. Full-watch. Loved the great interaction with you and Todd. The airheads was a real learning tip (Aaron & Jason are a fun crew.) Have great weekend guys. 👍🏽🙂.

Another great video, Tod seems like a great guy, he’s just another part of Dirt Perfect Dream Team! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

I worked in a couple different shipping departments. That company mentioned by Todd had the most damage claims .

It is nice to see a parts guy take the time to sell you just the parts you need and not all the parts he absolutely can. Man Behind and Jason are a riot, I bet there isn't a bad day working with those guys, or any of you.

Even tho I have watch the tour of IMPCOs (Truck or Track) shop and seen another video on here about this website, I do like this kind of collaboration. Sure Todd is a salesman but he does seem very informative.

The sticky not on your coupler plus Jason’s decal 😂😂

Yes Michael, it's hard to find good help. Lol. Have a blessed and safe weekend.

The difference between the Boy Scouts and those two loose cannons, the Boy Scouts have adult supervision

At last, Mr. Dirt (Mike) Perfect, we actually have something in common ... I'm told and respected as the Mayor of Fairfield Township, Ohio. You've got to go one more step to make us even and that is our neighborhood store, Johnsons Grocery, I am and have been the sitting Liars Club President for more years that I can count. Love what you do and always entertaining to watch !

Todd is quick and witty, that make for good interaction with you.

Great vid Mikey. And thanks so much for all the loving you boys are giving the 120. She deserves it. 🤑 😘 👍🏿

You could possibly bore the egged hole out a bit, weld a sleeve made on the lathe in and call it a day...

GLAD YOU SHOWED THAT INFO, I'M A KENTUCKIAN AND I SUPPORT OTHER KENTUCKIANS

Did a 120C undercarriage awhile back and they bought cheap. The tracks never did flatten out. They were always kinked. Also the sprockets wore down to razor blades in about 1500 hours. No bueno. His method of changing the rails is spot on. One difference is that I use a pry bar to push up on the nut and bolt rather than sticking it alongside the nut. Also, before starting, I use a needle scaler and clean the compacted dirt around the bolt heads. One thing he didn't mention is removing the pads. I just undo the bolts and cycle the track around. When they get to the other side, they will usually fall off and if they don't, just knock them off when all the bolts are off.

On my old, old D7 when I took the pads off I used a 1” impact that got about half the bolts off. Then I heated the square nuts cherry red and banged most of the rest off. Had to burn about 15 percent of the bolts off. That’s where one of those rivet-cutting torch tips would have come in handy. They’re also known as a “Scarf” tip. Now my friend Dale has his giant nephew swing a 16 lb sledge at one of those rail spike hammers held up to the bolt head. You gotta lay the tracks on their side for this trick. Leather aprons & face shields are a must. Says that one solid hit will knock the bolt head clean off. I’ll stick with a big-ass wrench myself.

Always a great video you have. Good laughs at the end!

Great video y'all have a great day and stay safe 👍

@dirtperfect great video Todd sure is a good speaker felt like I was sitting in a seminar. I will pass his website off for sure. Loving the Videos on the 120.

Nice job...I would definitely like to see the track machine at work funny you mentioned about the stickers I've seen that first hand not only on tracks but ran into stickers on the inside of tire rubbed holes in the tubes causing the flat...So buff off those stickers and such

j'aime cela quand vous êtes dans le garage

I’m definitely checking them out because I got a couple machines that need pins and bushings now . My old boss had me change the and chains on the 325. He had me block the machine up torch all the bolt heads off and hammer the pads off the end where they roll over the sprocket took one day per side. We reuse the pads so new chains and bolts Rollers

That's funny as hell😅

Awesome Video!!

Yea! 1 million percent agree with having prices online! 'The faster I can make a purchase, less down time!😊

What a great guy to know! Good parts guys are hard to find. I can’t wait till you get the 120 back together. Next I wanna see that D6 9U getting a little rehab!!!!

The candle trick is badass!!!! It works amazing!

Good vid. That. 120. So common. They do speacial's up here. Chains , sprockets, and pad bolts. For like. 1600 bucks a side. Cant beat that

well needless to say you have some good help...and we all know good help is hard to find...but they are a special kind of good when they are clowns at the same time...so mike...take off when you have to but leave these clowns in charge and they will make you proud they are on the payroll...nice touch also with todd and his expert commentary on deere equipment...

Love it they are loco

I enjoy your videos Mike. Now you trying to get the 140 back in running condition good job

Good Work

I see the fork appear in shot from time to time, I gather this is an in house joke to get at someone Mike? I think I know who lol.

At one time in life on that great journey I was so poor that everything I had to work with was borrowed against one and a half times the real value of anything I had was leined so bad, I figured I would die in poppers field without the coffin as they would sell that too to get back some money. I welded the bolts to the pads and then welded them to something solid and took two pieces of pipe over some real sketchy tools and un bolted the nuts off each rail link. I was on that job a month almost if I remember right. I had to scrounge pads off of other old rails that people had thrown away... I remember that one rail was down close to the river and in mud and I had to use no. 2 shovels and picks to dig them out. I did it and got it done. I was so ashamed of how it looked that I waited till dark to haul it to the job. That old cletrac 60 was in horrible shape and the herkuless engine was real tired but it got my claim logged. I came out looking real good. I left that old dozer in the woods as I didn't want anyone to know it was mine. Trees grew up through it and claimed it... I had left it running when I left thinking do I go back for it or not and then couldn't so it stayed. The trees got it . It wouldn't even back up on the last day cause it was coming apart in the middle. That was a first and last for me so ya, I would love to see this machine take off nuts that are polished to the track and bent.

Ben there done that when I was 17 years old 😳 John deer 450 track loader new chain and top bottom rollers and sprockets we used the fire wrench worked best to get pads off. Thanks for the video.

“Some real smart fancy guy wearing a suit and tie.” Hahaa yeah but somebody had to figger out how all that stuff intergages.

I guess I need to post my video with all the footage you cut out 😃

I wouldn’t do business with him telling me I should sell my excavator. That made me mad lol and it’s not even mine lol.

On your line bore set up on the boom. I do these fairly often. I have found that you need larger/wider tubing than the size you had. Having a wider cross section makes the mounting bracket more rigid. Also try and keep your brackets not in a straight line. Meaning it they are spaced apart they are more rigid. As you have found out when boring the quick coupler, that having the boring bar more rigid makes it cut better and faster. Good video. I will have to give Todd a call on the next track or boom job I do.

Really good video Mike

Line of the year--"Best part of this pizza...." LOL

Holy crap your the mayor as well haha that's awesome

I want a "Man Behind the Scene" sticker!

Love the price on the page

Hey Mike and Todd, I'm a gigantic roadside billboard. I love T-shirts, but need the 5x budget size!

Damn nuts I tell ya lmao😂😂😂 them boys know how to have fun. Cudoos to truck and track or was it track and truck 🤷‍♂️.

Nice video bud

Tell Todd that he needs to carry Kubota Excavator stuff! They are not listed under the Manufacturer option.

After watching and listening to the video I couldn’t help but Motörhead’s steering wheel behind your computer, I think it warrants an explanation.

all my years working in logging camps we never use wrench's to brake the track bolt off, it is a hard job and a total waste of time, you never re-use thebolts any way, so i use a cutting torch and blow 2 sides of the nuts off, no you dont try and cut though thr nut and bolt, not needed, just blow off 2 sides of the nut and give it a good hit with a punch and the rest of the nut falls off, once all 5 nuts are off hit the pad with a big slug hammer and off it comes, about 5 min, per pad or less, you can hammer on a track bolt with a big 1" impact and get know were fast, as the bolt heads are war down, the threads on the bolts are all hammered, good luck with that, just blow 2 sides of the nut and be done, to remove roller bolts so they dont brake, before you do any thing heat the head of the bolts red hot, let them cool and run them out, giving the head of the bolt a good hit with a heavy hammer also helps once they have cooled they dont brake , unless some one used chines bolts

Ask Todd if he will ship to Oregon 😁

you can spray the tracks {pivots} with a dry film lube if you really give a shit. its ptfe {teflon} in a can of solvent. best to spray it on when the tracks are good n warm. itll eventually get into the metal and make it 1% less squeaky.

Todd needs to know that google does not know what 'Truck or Track' is if you search with spaces before or after 'or'.. A bit of search engine optimization would be good.

Found an item that costs just over 11 dollars but cost almost 20 to ship at lowest cost. So guess who didn't order from Truck or Track

Those two could be brothers.

être capable j'irais passer une journée dans votre garage

if they didn't spend all of that time taking the piss out of you, it would probably mean they don't like you😂, or maybe they weren't impressed that you brought them a pizza instead of taking them out for lunch, and you probably ate half of the pizza as well

Intergages? Another new Dirt Perfect word? That paperwork he does involves paper on a cardboard roll.

I'm assuming everyone is on salary and not paid by the hour. 😂

disasters mean progress? why didnt anyone tell me i was getting so much done!

Dont think you can get diet dr pepper any more costco doesnt have it any more, walmart doesnt have it, think it is no more, its my favorite

Are these guys on the clock when they are, uh, what are they doing?

Those two unsupervised? Are you sure that's a good idea?

tell you what Mike, leaving Jason and Aaron unsupervised is dangerous only to boredom. Both are quick witted and funny but know their stuff and how to figure things out. You have a way of finding quality people, Todd has developed quite an online and brick and mortar store and there can't be much wrong with patronizing his business. My old boss used to say "cream rises to it's own level"... judging from the company you keep, you're fairly top drawer yourself, but lately you haven't been around much for people to notice that... lol

✌️👊

That was surprisingly interesting. Does Todd's pronunciation 'escervator' rather than 'excavator' mean anything, or is it just a local colloquialism?

Did I miss something...what's the fork for???

wobble begone ... question is can preventative maintenance delay the return or does grease attract the perfect wear dirt?

So apparently I put the tracks on my 120c on backwards too....🤷🏽‍♂️

This guy is literally a broker/middle man. Go to the source get it cheaper and the same product

How many tons is your crane? 5ton?

If you don’t laugh at your self you have no right to laugh at others.

Why did you have airheads work on your excavator. 😬Lol God bless

Aaron gets Perfectly Dirty !

I'm going to have to unsubscribe and then resubscribe to, Dirt Better Then Perfect. Then I guess I will go subscribe to that new channel l, The Mayor Of Derby.
