Being the fix everything guy no we dont because theres never ending supply of people that want help for free but always have excuses when you ask for help in return

He's the guy who taught me so much about electronics, plc's and rewiring stators and has lent me that digger. I drop everything when he needs a hand ;)

@@MartyT its a 2 way streak thats good thats what i enjoy its the other 99% of people that just keep asking and never do anything for you that makes me not help anyone anymore

@@MartyT and that's how it works when ya need help We help One another ...

@@MartyT you’re a top bloke Marty 👍 I’m sure he appreciates having you to call on

Those are resilient little buggers 😂

When I grew up in my home town,street machines in Windsor Ontario Canada,were some if the fastest cars in Canada! One day a fella pulled in the drive of a friend's house,his 1970 Chevrolet was running very rough, so he parked it and shut it off,he tried to start it again,but it misfired,that's when his suspicions came true ,he had broke either the Crankshaft or camshaft street racing! Another thing that I know of,is one day my mother came to where I worked after driving 240 miles,she said something was wrong with our 1972 Buick. I cranked it over and I could hear a noise coming from near the transmission. So,I pulled thr engine out at work,then inspected the flywheel,it had cracked around the bolts,in a triangular pattern,with a very unique twist to it,each break,acted like an interlocking puzzle,some of the metal had formed a tapered edge going in an angle on all 3 sides preventing the flywheel from becoming part if the bellhousing or falling away from the crankshaft, so it stayed in place till she got to my work! God had his hand in this,although the car might have kept running,if she had shut it off if the flywheel has completely separated,I know it wouldn't have started ,as the ring gear is on the flywheel,which in an automatic,is just a thin steel disc,with gears!

mumbling is kind of our thing. Foreign wifey gets annoyed and says things like "E-NUN-CI-ATE" but I swap words like draught for giraffe and see if she notices

@@fenderOCG that's honestly hilarious, thanks for the laugh! xD

Need do go find a babel fish….that will help immensely 👍🤣

Awww yeeee?

It sounds worse than it is. You can have a normal conversation just two meters away from the machine, and I don't even have my engine under a hood. It's a very distinct sound though, and pretty harsh, so I wouldn't recommend anyone running this without hearing protection for a prolonged period.

@@martinedelius yes the air cooled diesel sound is as distinctive as the Beetle and 911 air cooled engines (but not nearly as much fun) . I *strongly* recommend noise cancelling hearing protection if you sit on one all day like I often do!

@@langdons2848 I have pretty much the same motor they just put in this machine in a skid steer. It's unbearably loud.. like wearing ear protection still hurts.. if I put a new muffler on it would it be worth it? Thanks!

@@JunkyardJosh no. the noise is mainly mechanical and is coming from the crank.

@@maxwell6504 what about some thicker oil?

Sounds like your hip bone replacement won't be shattering like that crankshaft if the surgeon seemed to be on top of his trade.

Was it a partial or complete replacement ? Traditional or minimal ?

@@heartland96a Complete. Day three is hopefully the worst which where I'm at now. No playing with engines today, that's for sure.

@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 I d be amazed if you up and about in less than a week , buddy had a total with a mis , was on a morphine pump for couple days then off to rehab for a while . Glad your tolerating it so well.

@@heartland96a Thanks. Great staff at the hospital and PT business I'm using. It is early though but I know everything has wore off.

thanks mate, my subscribers are the best

I've often replied to videos like this: "I wish you were my neighbor".

Yup. That's the good stuff.

Yeah me too, but in a different trade..it's a rare thing.. especially if you combine sence of humor too...then work becomes pure fun..

Hes a legend, taught me so much about many things over the years, happy to help him out. He's got some good stories as well

@@MartyT - Maybe you can interview him in an upcoming episode to relate one of those stories?

@@samvalentine3206 I second this idea!

@@Jc2260 thirded!

Dear @@MartyT 👍👌👏 Please tell us the stories respectively let tell him. Sincerely yours.

Score ;-)

Just get it out of warranty,don’t worry if it blows later.

@@daleolson3506 warranty. lmao its chinese.

@@DieselRamcharger I have a similar machine with the same Koop engine. It has a *3 year* warranty. So far I have had a new starter motor, quick hitch (due to manufacturing defect), and bucket ram (damaged when the quick hitch let go) on warranty from the dealer - no questions asked. Yes there are quality issues, but the Chinese manufacturers are learning and improving - and with a three year warranty I am very comfortable. I'll turn the machine over when the warranty expires and pick up a new one. And the purchase price is vastly lower than any of the big name brands. For *me* and my needs, it's compelling.

Yes, luckily it didn't drop its guts while I was using it 😂

Amen. Garage54 already proved it can be done and works a treat! ;-)

A bit of super glue might have done it

@@emanggitulah4319 Super glue would probably be stronger than the original Chinesium.

@@dfross87 What if you used Chinese super glue?

A small digger is better than a big shovel

Yeah, I believe that one"s beyond super glue and duct tape too. LOL

He going to take it home and rebuild it

I'd like to know how many hours are on the motor,before it started to croak! And is it a deisel?

I'd like to know how many hours are on the motor,before it started to croak! And is it a deisel? Goes to show you,these little engines aren't designed to run a mini excavator! Should be two piston deisel!

Did u say 1600 new Zealand dollars? To replace that little engine! It probably cost the Chinese 100 to make it!

The Chinese get paid about 0.14 cents us per hour,so how much would that deisel engine cost in there dollars?

@@JohnSmith-yv6eq welllll....that'd be a hot rod mod!

Me too, I swore it was a remote controlled toy or something.

It's as though you were channelling my brain whilst I was watching all that sitting there in amazement at what they achieve working in mud

I'm used to work in the field - In the snow, 10 below zero, usually in the dark with a headlamp on... I can assure anyone that you will finish the job in record time! :)

@@Kowalski301 EXACTLY , been there , its no fun but has to be ready for the next days work .

these diggers are not so cheap when you see what goes into them , thats a 10 hp cloned yanmar engine engine , single cylinder, on brand mane machines its normally a yanmar engine 2 or 3 cylinder for the cat micros producing 16 hp, you get for what you pay eufortunately

I don't think changing oil was gonna help this one, that engine was doomed to begin with due to manufacturing defects

Interesting story, sounds like someone got the boat for a bargain

oh man spin the yarn please!

Spill the beans

Do tell....

Im sure if you guys add the time to search the store via the news paper or TV news im betting you will find out . Maybe Marty or the other guy don't want to get into the shitstorm of gosup . Just my thoughts. Cary on .👍🏻✌

😜😁😄😅😂

Guess stress concentration on a sharp corner that started a crack. Once the crack is there, it will propagate over time, even with little load until it snaps apart. That shell pattern shows a bit how the crack went along.

There is a HUGE cyclic load between the crankpin and the flywheel every time the cylinder fires, even at net zero crank torque! On a single cylinder diesel, the cylinder pressure is very high and the rate of pressure rise high (which is why diesels (and modern DI petrols) sound so "knocky" in fact) resulting in huge torsionjal vibrations. Look at the size and inertia of the flywheel, it's massive to damp those individual firing pulses out to try to get a smooth output speed and torque. On this engine, the flywheel is on the other side of the crankpin, so working loads also go through the pin to flywheel joint as well.

The "sudden shock" is every time the engine comes up on compression, then combusts. If that is a cast iron crank, I would say there is the problem. A forged steel crank would do much better service, as long as it had proper radii in the corners.

I have a similar machine with the Koop engine. And it's great. I get over a full day's work out of a 10 litre jerry can of diesel, so it's pretty economical for the amount of work it can do in that time.

@@JohnSmith-yv6eq Up here we say " Now there's your problem lady". It's always said to a guy.

Not many vitamins, but plenty of minerals.

extreme iron supplements!

Yep, metal fatigue for sure.

Yeah we could have got it running but would have had to replace pretty much everything in the guts of it, just easier and quicker to buy a new one
