sorry i laughed so hard when that oil came out.i know you hit a burial ground.lol

Oops! I see someone already commented what you should of done first, so I will not say it! Thank you for sharing! I have been following you for several months and I love your intro to your channel! The family picture embedded into the video. An awesome added touch! God Bless you and your family, sir!

The sad truth is they already have the answer to the emissions issues. Check out the rotatory valve. This simple valve system eliminates all other emissions parts. God bless

How does your channel ONLY have 49k subs?..under-rated channel here for sure 👍

Glad you finally moved that dingleberry off of the track! Nice work.

Keep your head up bro . It will get better.Momma always said there will be days like this.

When the final drive projectile vomited over you... well held😂🤣😂🤣

I'd bet "man behind the scenes" busts a gut laughin at that oil bath!!!!!

OMGOSH! My sides hurt from laughing with that whole light smashing scene! I'm not sure if it was seeing him smash it or the narrative! Too funny!

Emission issues.... To err is human. To really screw things up requires a computer!

Thank California for your Volvo problems, they have the crazy emission regs. that plague the new, newer equipment. It makes the good older equipment more in demand. Like to see your work. Enjoy your show and the effort you put into it. Have a better tomorrow!

Open the top plug first to release the pressure.

All that mechanic work brought back memories when I was operating a D8 dozer. Always something going wrong and have to repair it. ☕️👍🍀

Left hand drift pin.....reminds me of the days driving and repairing the thrown tracks on the M2A2 Bradley Linebacker when I first joined the Army. It was a standard issue the Left Hand Drift Pin lol

That blurp of oil made my day...I'm not the only one!

If it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have any at all! Thanks for the ride along sir, even if it was last year!!!!😏😉

They make a smaller DeWalt great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there

not maple, he's a pecan tree. ( nuts ) :D

Great channel , love watching you work on these machines I'm learning a lot.

5:14 looks like she was excited

You two work good together keep up the great work love your videos thank you

Good afternoon everybody. Good video at least you got things going back together. Take care and have a blessed week.

Remove the that hanging dirt and grass right there. Lol

The joys of self employment and living the dream buddy ! Glad nobody got hurt except for your pride. Good luck with the rest of the year and stay extra safe.

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

Mr. DP don't let anyone tell you to get rid of your Deere 120, because she's old. You know best about ur machine. It's not just a machine, it's like a family member. Never give up. The 120 is a beast💯💪💪💪💪I see some people trying to convince you to upgrade....NOT Keep her going

Working, I used Hilti for ~30 years. Hands down the best. Stay safe

Great video bro it even had a bit of light humor too. Safe travels

Been there. When things get so bad all you can do is laugh about it and wait for the next blow The emissions are why the price of older machines are going up. I was the old guy in the shop that told the kids cordless impacts were a phase and not going to work. I am now retired (early due to back injury) and finally peaked my head out of under the rock and only use cordless at home and working on projects at my current part time job.

Good morning and sorry When the gear oil gushed out and your reaction it made me laugh out loud and generally I don't do that. Almost the same has happened to me in the past and I remember my thoughts as I sat there as the oil was dripping off of me. All of your content is great. Stay safe.

I just went through a bad equipment streak. Every truck was causing issues. You will have those.

Nice job on your videos! I really enjoy them!

I got Milwaukee tools and I use that style light for everything. The hooks top and side are awesome and the light lasts for a long time without killing the battery. And now you're making me want a 1/2 drive impact. I have a 3/4 which is a beast but heavy and I tend to use my air gun.

LOL, I just took a drink and you said "I think there is a reason hes not a mechanic" and It almost became my new background.

Mike I love your videos. Keep them coming. I did almost the same thing to the windshield in the Cat 316 I run. I was pulling an old stump that wasn't coming as easy as I wanted it suddenly released. When it did a 1 inch branch laying in the tall grass was lanched from a root and hit in the bottom left corner making a neet little star. As for the impact the air gun is much faster in free spin but you need to be careful as this can gall the threads. Just something I learned the hard way while working for a farm dealership.

I love that dewalt impact. I got it when it first came out and it just never gives up.

Thanks for leaving in your oil bath DP as it shows the good, bad, and the ugly and being on the real means a lot my friend ! Stuff happens but a real pro pushes throgh it all and keeps doing what he has to do ! And that's you DP a real pro !

I don't know how you stay so calm when the parts don't match. Who can wait to get the job finished? Lucky you can if you have your own shop. But as we say about Floriduh, people here have so little sense, they can't afford to pay attention. LOL

Life can be a bitch some days!!! You seem to have had more than your fair share of problems in the past few days and am impressed at how calm you have remained albeit a bit dispondent. I would have been kicking something and certainly not taking the time to keep us fully in the picture on all these dreadful problems. Must say I am impressed - no point crying over spilt milk - I would have been sobbing for days!! Likewise with the window - my heart was in my mouth in case it cracked again! Well done you guys! Keep smiling !! Many thanks for sharing.

That light no joke

Because of the emissions issue many equipment owners as well as owners of diesel pickups are keeping and even gravitating "back" to some of the older equipment to avoid the unreliable issues that come with the newer stuff. I'm keeping my older stuff as long as I can get parts to keep them going. Pre "DEF" diesel trucks and tractors in my area are highly sought after.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting comparisons on the impact drivers. Long live the 120!

Just one of those days man, just keep moving along, you have a great attitude!

I was a die hard DeWalt fan in my early construction days. I first comparison between the DeWalt and Milwaukee was the screw gun. I found in many aspects I loved my M12 3/8” screw gun, later Milwaukee came out with combo kit with a 1/4” Hex impact driver and M12 3/8” drill/driver. I bought 2 combo kits and that was at least 4 years ago and I have not broken into my second kit. I remodeled a 8 stall horse barn exterior wood, built two 12’ by 8’ doors and two sets of those and many remodels. Impressive little screw gun. Then they obviously came out with bigger batteries as they came out after the M12. I know longer have DeWalt products. Again, my testimony and my opinion. Thank you for sharing with us your issues and awesome light show!

We’ve all had bad days but you hit the top

Great video again mike and next time you do a final drive box open the fill hole first bud

Great video Mike!

Just got outta work and a new Dirt Perfect video, great stuff

Thanks DP.

Now he will right off the trip expenses as advertisement. Great AD.. HAHAHA I want 2 of those lights...

@4:52 I LOL then as you sighed with resignation, I felt contrite, then finally felt relieved when you laughed about it. Phew.

Im ernest from Missouri I really enjoyed watching ur video I'm a big fan

LOL awesome 10:49 mark oh I'll buy it...we're GONNA hit it. and that hurt my arm later LOL awesome. its good you are maintaining a positive attitude. it does help believe it or not. multiple muscle/skeletal injuries multiple neuro issues, heart/lung issues...positive attitude and sense of humor WILL help. hope things get better this week.

Awsome video! I love watching you

👍 Just a little over two months left in 2020. Hopefully 2021 will be better for all of us.

I'm glad I purchased a pre-emission excavator and I'm glad I didn't buy a cordless impact! Thanks for the video Mike! Stay positive!

ALWAYS take the level plug out first to relieve the pressure. Rookie mistake and old hands teach the youngsters this so they never forget!!!! Release the pressure!!!!Brilliant channel though keep it up

Hi I was amazed at the pressure of the oil in the final drive and it brought back the smell I used to say it was like cats piss. Lol you are doing a good job don’t forget to paint her counter weight.

Good job on the DEF system explanation. Peterbilt has been having problems with their coolant solenoids too. Temp gets high in the tank and causes the DEF quality sensor to fail.

Thanks, I enjoy listening to you talking about one of my favorite subjects. I believe that my first JD tractor was a 110 which if that is what it was, had a temperamental electric lift and a thin deck that needed repair and I welded it for rust. I traded that for a new 185 which may not be classified as a garden tractor. However, it is still used by a family member to cut an acre of grass. Before I gave the 185 away, I picked up a 1987, JD 318, in 1990, which I have maintained and it looks like new and is used on 1.5 acres. Was my first tractor likely to have been a 110, from what I have said? Thanks

Lmao..!!! I was waiting for that oil to get u... You forgot to release the pressure off it. THANKS for the replay..!!! Keep your head up everyone goes through those days when everything breaks...

To get the wrong shaft must be VERY frustrating. (Even more than the racked windscreen). Love the videos. Very instructional.

I did the same thing on my 973c final drive. I had it on the trailer and it shot a huge stream of oil right at my chest in middle of winter. Lol

Fun of being the owner! Its almost behind you now.

You've definitely had a rough go of breakdowns. Like you said You've been really lucky not having any problems and then they just all hit you at the same time. I switched all of my cordless tools over to Milwaukee about 7 years ago after borrowing a friends Milwaukee tools. I have a high torque 1/2" Milwaukee that puts out 1400 foot pounds of torque that's about the same size body of that Dewalt you just got. I've actually changed the tires on my Peterborough with it, very awesome tool. They also have a 1" impact I'm sure You've seen. Awesome video Mike!

Mike I have Milwaukee batteries that are 7 yrs old. I could never get over a year out of a dewalt. I am a professional mechanic and use them every day. Milwaukee has a bigger 1/2 impact than what you have

been there done that, recommend removig the top plug to relive the pressure

Groetjes uit Holland 👍👋🏼

Well I was just wondering why the oil come gushing out so bad I never saw oil spray up like that under pressure no pressure interesting thank you good job

0LOVE THIS BIG TIME MADE MY DAY SO FUNNY AFTER THE BAD TIMES YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LOVE YOUR CHANEL BIG FAN ALONG TIME KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BY FROM KY

I picked up the Milwaukee high torque half inch drive for a heck of a deal off letgo and I love it. It's legit comparable to a 3/4 inch drive pneumatic impact. Love the videos Mike, especially the mechanic ones like these 😁👍

Man, I am sorry to hear about that week. But it seems you are getting the issues resolved a few at a time.

My cat 299d skid steer has been in and out of shop for 6 months with Def problems. Cat finally changed every piece on def system finally fixed it for NOW!!! Thankfully it was under warranty but that much time without a machine will break a small company like mine

Love the smell of gear oil especially when I'm not there

Just remember every one has those days. Be grateful that you know how to fix most everything that went wrong. Because you would not want my problems, trust me. God bless.

We’ve had weeks like yet enjoyed the video

"Welp. Good news. Its got oil in it." Thank you for sharing that. I'm having one of those weeks myself. Guess its nice to know its not just me.

You might be happy to know that You are not the only one that has a bad day, week or month. I’ve been restoring a 1976 MGB and it seems that every time I fix one thing something else breaks or I put something on wrong that requires me to take 4 steps back and replace a part I broke. The last part broken was the center section of the clutch which destroyed the clutch. Good luck with getting the Deere back in operation.

Boy it has really hit the fan lol

You defiantly have the patient's of Jobe. I have been an automotive mechanic for years. My patient's some times runs out and cuss words start flying. When you know the machines things go better.

Now just can't wait to see her back in action.

Your new tool. I have one as well. My semi has never been easier to work on. My only wish is that when your torquing you’re bolts it had a gage.

As usual I am an old man of 74 and I really enjoy Your Expertise and Man behind the scene how well You work together and again how well Your shop works for You. I still do oil changes on our family’s 4 cars and brake jobs and yes mufflers until TESLAS come. Now I was amazed your shafts being sourced from 2 countries in EUROPE. DOES JD make slightly different OEM parts or is their aftermarket parts there instead of CHINA. Wow, You have a lot of unique jobs like Stadium Seating and l have IR IMPACT and mostly MILWAUKEE 9 and 12 volt battery and the big 120 volt Hole Hawg & mag drill press and 12 “ compound Miter saw in both Brands. I have the 200 amp MILLER MIG and all the the rest of tools in multiples for building a structural steel frame house. I have over $40,000 of tools and MAKITA has the best 1/2” drill on the market along with my other favourite 5” 12 amp powerful grinder with slim body You can use with one hand because of soft start. My next purchase will be Milwaukee 1/2” impact that you can dial in torque adjustment. I know a lot about tools and selected HUNDREDS of thousand dollars to be bought by purchasing departments of construction companies I have worked for not including Fork Lifts, Stinger Trucks, and cable pulling equipment. I very much respect Your 15 years spent as a big residential contractor before Your excavating business. For Me I get the most satisfaction watching Your Mechanical skills in action.in Your Shop. My other passion is everything Elon does starting with SHANGHAI, BERLIN, & now AUSTIN watching the biggest earth moving show on KZfaq with 40 CAT BELLY SCRAPERS and EXCAVATORS, DOZERS, DRILLS PACKERS, WATER TRUCKS totalling another 100 pieces all CATERPILLAR. One big very interesting commercial for CATERPILLAR and 150 highway tractors hauling 20 yard Bottom Dump Trailers all working for RANGER CONSTRUCTION. Ok only Elon is My GOD with SPACEX, and TESLA taking over the battery industry totally with 4680 cell, but the biggest development is the BETA TESLA FSD now being demonstrated on U TUBE every day that is very safe and watching the car operating all by itself with colour screen showing in Technicolor what the computer sees and actions taken with no deaths or even a fender bender. My GOD THIS SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. The testing has being going on for more than a week and TESLA is not in control of other cars. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 2 YEARS FOR MY CYBERTRUCK.

big big dewalt fan here for sure.

Mike that dewalt impact wrench is 1200 ft lbs max breakaway torque,700 is max fasting torque the Milwaukee 2767-20 is 1400 max breakaway and 1000 max fasting torque,I have both of them,they really work great

Great video 📹 would you but glass in the 150 like the volvo. Keep at it 💪

well I tell you I thought they where wrong but you were right so great job

Mike, you must like spending big money. Lol. But staying positive with all the malfunctions will help you.

That was another great video. Seems like the Milwaukee band wagon is huge . They are great tools but there are brands out there to fit your needs as well. We can't be a brand specific company there is too much competition with cordless tools. Stay safe

sorry Mike, got a loud laugh at your expense when oil exploded all over you. What a week you are having, have to watch out for Indian burial grounds. Have a better week ahead.

Verry interesting!

I've had days and weeks like that more times than I care to mention. Keep your chin up and soldier through! I know you will!

Only place I could find a good deal on final drives for my John Deere 70d was on alibaba.com. Found them for half the price of anywhere else. And they ship direct to you. Just make sure you only buy from people that have been selling on that site for a few years

perhaps could put a magnet on each side of the light battery with a couple of hose clamps [bands].

Look at the light from harbor freight, on sale 24-28 bucks, magnet on end and flex's to any location.

Now you will always remember to remove the upper plug in final drives to remove the pressure before removing the lower plug to drain it.

Ok part of me was like, crappy week , lots of things hit all at once it happens. But the oil was too much. Time for a beer and some time on the river.

Wonder if the Volvo was sold because the original owner knew about the emissions issues. Also would think the emissions replacement parts may be better than the originals, so may not have same problems again hopefully. Very good video.

Thanks for the comparison of the Dewalt and Milwaukee battery powered impact's . I've got Dewalt tools and not having to buy batteries save's a lot of money . Glad to see how powerful the Dewalt is , thanks for demonstrating the impact . Great video , keep'em coming . Great helper , you need to keep him Happy . But lunch at McDonald's , come on man you could buy him a better lunch . BTW you think the fill plug being removed would have released the pressure in the final drive ? Again , Great video .

Gear oil ranks just under the Old ROSES ROSES PERFUME!!!
