This 3.9 Cummins 4BT is begging for a shotgun or a rebuild. Either way, I hate service calls. Pretty impressed that this Clark 664 Skidder can go maintenance-free for 24 years!

There's always a choice, they could choose to have it fixed right and get another few decades out of it. Half ass repairs always end up costing more then doing it right in the long run. Nothing wrong with old iron, I make my living with it but no way would I allow, let alone request, a half ass job done on what keeps the food on my children's plates.

You gotta have a huge heart to take on that type of job. It's about doing the best you can for people who can't afford to have it done right. It would be taking food off their table if it HAD to done right. Kudos to you Rich.

@ marscruz , i asked for my brothers help in fixing a old ford 1,200 diesel 4 wheel drive , it needs a crank and bearings , the rest of the motor is good , he wont fix it for me without taking the block to a machine shop for re alignment of the block journals . i know for a fact it would last as long as i need it with just putting a crank and bearings in it . if my body was not failing me i would do it myself .

@consaka1 6 жыл бұрын

Your brother is right. Do the job right or redo it in the very near future. If the block is not aligned it will be pretty obvious from the bearing wear. New bearings could fatigue the new crank which would could cause it to break at some random time. OEM guys will do some crazy things like mixing and matching bearing halves to compensate for crappy machine work. Other things that can happen is shifting of the block due to stresses in the block. I always take every block to the machine shop to check for cracks and straightness of cam and main bearings. My engines and a customers engine regardless. One thing I do not enjoy is ripping engines out. I might reuse an old power steering pump or alternators because those can be easily changed. A broken crank can destroy the core of the engine. Do the job right and everyone is happier in the long run.

@consaka1 6 жыл бұрын

yeah I did read it and that is the problem. You are trying to predict how long it will last. That is plenty of money to just have it break again the next day. You take certain shortcuts and they can bite you pretty quick. If your brother did like you want and it blows up the 2nd day it is driven will it be worth it to you? Is that all you need it for? Usually RPMS takes out the pistons due to valve float. Cranks don't usually break unless they are fatigued. Cranks are just rotating mass. I'd have to completely disagree with your assessment. If the bearings are not aligned straight that stress alone could break the crank regardless of engine rpm. Get the block bored straight and a straight crank with oversized bearings and she should work reliably for some time. Be in good shape for the next owner if you don't plan on keeping it.

@consaka1 6 жыл бұрын

LOL where there's your problem. I have never had a crank break on anything I have ever built and some of those people over revved the crap out of them. BUT then again I avoid fords like the plague. My dads the ford guy and seems to enjoy messing with them on a daily basis. Now on another note why bother with it at all if you plan on getting rid of it in 5 years? Tractors actually have pretty good resale value if they are in good mechanical shape. But it seems like you want to take shortcuts and screw the guy you sell it to. Suit yourself. My hats off to your brother though for doing the job right and not sticking some poor soul with a ticking time bomb just so you can save a few peso. Crank misalignment will bust a crank every time, just a matter of time. Never met anyone that claimed to have mechanic experience that would do such a thing to such a critical part of the machinery.

@Bread996 5 жыл бұрын

Some customers just don't get it. What is the cost to you when the equipment is down for a week and you're not making production? Not only are you losing money every day that could have gone into a proper rebuild, but the repair itself is going to cost more than it would have back in the shop. Even though the machine is old, it's always worth it to fix it correctly.

@juliogonzo2718 4 жыл бұрын

But grease Is the cheapest maintenance their Is and oil changes are the second cheap. when we would change jobs It got degreased, and we never used either unless It we ran out of options, It Is so hard on the rings. If we seen something leaking or broke fix It asap because It Is a lot cheaper to do It now. a 100.00 dollar fix If Ignored can cost thousands later down the road. You gotta take care of you money maker or It will make you go broke In the long run If you don't. If you have never rebuilt a clark trans. They are so simple. Great video, and I was by no means knocking on the owners of the skidder either, Logger's are going extinct because not many younger people want to work this hard for a living.

This is the type of video I want to see! What does ether do to a diesel?

@DEBOSSGARAGE 7 жыл бұрын

Think of Ether as being an uncontrollable explosion in your engine. The proper way to do it is spray it into the intake while someone is turning the engine over. This splits the ether between the cylinders. If it is sprayed in the air breather and then turned over, whatever cylinder is on the intake cylinder gets all the ether at once and it the explosion forces the rings downward and ends up peening the piston ring groove over. Sloppy rings is the result.

@consaka1 6 жыл бұрын

One of the core problems with ether in a diesel is timing of the explosion. You don't have much control over that because a diesel is a compression ignition engine with the injectors providing the timing under normal operation. Ether can fire way too early and the result can be cracked piston and/or bent rod depending on many variables. If you have to use ether you want to use the least amount possible to get the job done. By yourself that is really difficult to do because the engine should already be cranking before you start giving it little shots of ether.

Something I learned recently on cleaning your hands is get a clean rag like a wash cloth and Pour fresh motor oil on it and wipe your hands clean, it will remove 95% or better of nasty grease and oil on your skin with out even scrubbing hard. I accidentally spilled some Walmart 20/50 oil wiped it up with a rag I had handy and a little later accidentally picked it up to wipe the grime off my hands and low and behold it wiped all the nasty 7.3 grime off my hands all I had to do next was wash my hands with fast orange to get the fresh oil slime off... much easier then scrubbing with a nylon brush until you turn 3 shades of pink.

Rich, you're a lot better man than you know. You're making your bones in heaven. I used to do similar work, and had some nearby older farms with old equipment. WELL, you know when people are sweating out, whether or not they're going to have a good season, and they're running equipment that was obsolete 25 years ago, that when they come to you, you may as well be Jesus to them. You can't say no to them. You may be their last hope to fix that piece of irreplaceable junk equipment, that their lives depend on. I know this to be true, because I got to where I was welding broken implements in my sleep. Replacing a blown hydraulic seal, in 10 degree weather. Or rebuilding an old 8N Ford, a set of bearings and an undercut crank at a time. Knowing darn well that engine needed a complete. About the time the economy was not good in my area, my hands hadn't been healed from the last knuckle I cut, a month earlier, and I was working for peanuts in an auto parts store, full time, in addition to doing the other. Then one day an old friend came into the NAPS store I worked. He was laid off from Caterpillar tractor company, and going to school to get licensed as an aircraft mechanic. He looked at me, and said, " Greg what the hell are you doing working in here" ? It happened at the right time Rich. I'd just had the love of my life move on, and was fed up, and feeling thoroughly kicked, and decided I could do better. Last year I retired after being an aircraft mechanic for 33 years. I still think about those old farmers once in a while. With you it's loggers. Rest assured when they pass on, they be putting in a good word for you.

I am sure that black stuff is magnetic. It sure sticks to me. A good repair. Just what the customer wanted and needed. Just keep it working. When times are better they will buy a new one. No point in fixing it like new. as the new models are so much better.
