J&B Mountain
Добавлен 6 май 2021
I recently moved my family from the suburbs to my late fathers mountain home he built. We went from a small apartment to 26 acres and I am in a bit over my head to say the least. Decided to make this channel to track the progress of the random projects I attempt on the property.
Hope you enjoy!

There is a dirt road on the back of the property that I haven't been able to really use in a couple years. Some trees fell then my ATV broke. We were recently able to get a side by side so now I want my road back! Hopefully the first of many trails I will make back there. Also got to use my winch for the first time which was fun.
Towable Backhoe Test With GoPro on Hard Rocky Soil - Jansen MB300 - Small issue with hydraulics
Просмотров 13 тыс.3 года назад
I wanted to test out my new backhoe some and my sons GoPro. I haven't done any big jobs with the backhoe yet because of the hydraulic issue I mention at the end. I don't think it's a major issue, but I didn't want to drag it back onto the mountain if I still need to work on it.

It was scary hearing that sound when I tried to start it. I am glad I didn't instantly start buying new parts. Not knowing what I am doing, I assumed it was the starter or the solenoid, ended up being a super easy fix!

Unboxing, Assembly and Test of Earthquake 1 Man Auger Post Hole Digger in Rocky Soil-First Time Use
I have had one for 3 years now. Absolutely love it had no trouble and it gets a lot of play but I do treat it well keep it clean greased and indoors for storage.very well worth the price . I got 3 buckets for it .the quality of buckets is good and they perform great .
Hitting roots?
Thanks!
If you still have the 8N, get on Yesterday’s Tractors forum. They have lots of info and help for 8N owners. They also sell parts and manuals. The N Club forum is exclusively 8N stuff and full of information. I hope you didn’t blow a head gasket or worse when tractor overheated.
Was/is that the Tractor Supply 1000Lb BP for just under $300.00? If so after watching this I am definitely going to get one!
Yup! Got it at tractor supply
Mix in some Marvels per the instructions on the jug for the next 6 months of gas fill ups. If it isn't worn out rings, your rings will become compliant again, reseal and your smoke will go away (and your tractor will be happy).
I just ordered this a couple of days ago. Thank you for helping me decide, especially which buckets to order. I was already leaning towards that 24 inch for shifting gravel, and the tapered one was intriguing, but I might not have listened to the inner voice had I not seen your video. That thumb seemed pretty dubious too. There has to be a better option! Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.
Porque no encuentro comentarios en español tengo uno uno se como primcipiarlo
Did you sell yours? If so why please?
Nope! I love this thing. I just haven't made any videos in a bit because my camera broke
@@jbmountain4991 I am glad to hear that. I am placing my order soon. Sold my Ford 9n so now I have room for it in the barn. i got word from the Jansen folks that they redesigned the thumb so it has a boom brace. It will be available in a month or two. Thanks again.
Oh good I'll have to look into that. What a terrible design their original thumb was
You must let the auger drill do the work, not you!
I have the harbor freight trencher and have removed much larger stumps. I have replaced one hose because i hit the fitting and broke it. 3 years use and thats it for repair.
I'd like to have one.
How much does this car cost?
You are having fun right or my how much you got done . Can't wait to start digging ANYWHERE I NEED TO GET THIS THING DIRTY AND MAYBE MUDY . HAHAHA . 😂😂
Years ago I was having an issue with my 8n where it would start but would stall out after a minute or so. A friend of mine who does small engine repair told me before starting it to take a hammer and give the carburetor a couple of whacks. There is a cork ball float in the carb that gets stuck and the taps on the carb free it up. It works for me! I keep a stubby hammer in the tool box.🙂
I love watching these old tractors work, especially right now with it raining so much and I can't use mine
Awesome, would love to have one of those tractors
I bought the harbor freight version. I was wondering what the mounting ear specs were to see if I can adapt a bucket for my needs. What is the pin size, pin center spacing, and width between the mounts? I emailed jansen and they wouldnt give me specs. Simply told me it wouldnt fit my machine.
I feel your pain. some of my land in Alabama is in between 2 ponds with 3 overflow streams leading to a flat area about half an acre. Im gonna find out this weekend if a JD 2015R can scoop some out or if I need a backhoe like yours.
Did you find a solution to your thumb attachment yet? Would like one but won’t waste my money buying one from Jansen.
Brakes are cheap and easy to fix on an 8N. Change the seals too. Brakes are used in primary steering with any tractor. You really need some front wheel weights. You may have to buy a parts tractor to get them. You could also fill the front tires with water. An old gym weight set can be used to mount on the front bumper, they could even be bolted to the front rims. I have rear wheel weights on the rear wheels of my 8N and they weigh 400# each. A Sherman 3 speed transmission makes a very safe tractor, especially in reverse gear. They are quite expensive on ebay but are well worth the $1000 or so. The 2 speed Sherman does not have compound low, so stay away from that one. I also welded a dozen weld-on hooks in various places on the boom so that a purchase can be made very easily on odd items using chains.
The harbor freight one goes 60° each way for a total of 120°
Started with the simple things first! Always the right way to address problems. 😊
i want one...
You like to be on TV
fill the front tires with water for more weight
This is exactly what I need to do to a drybrook. I know I will have a lot of work clearling many years of overgrown brush and some trees, but this video absolutely convinced me that the machine will handle the downhill and uneven terrain. Very good video, and thanks for posting it.
Oh good, glad it helped. It works your core on uneven terrain haha, but I've yet to feel like it was going to tip or anything. I've taken this thing places I'd never try to bring a tractor one.
small auger first-- you would go with 3 inch bit going through wood or steel first either---
i though the thumb was supposed to have a brace welded to the boom and have a pin to adjust or move back out of the way when not in use
You would think so!
i'd say it needs a lot more weight on the front a lot more
I also have a Jensen digger, I like it.
👍
LMAO after 20 holes most people get better. Less pressure more rpm much more in and out, will eject dirt and rocks😅
Yeah I did eventually figure that out haha. Thanks for watching
A lot of people have converted the 6 volt system over to 12 volt. I recommend keeping 6 volt system as long as possible. If you have generator problems, take it to a competent auto electric repair shop and have it repaired. I have a ‘51 project 8N that was converted to 12 with home made alternator bracket that caused the lower alternator bracket to pinch the lower radiator hose nearly shut and it had a belt that was way to small. I replaced with new alternator and universal brackets, had to find a belt that would fit(42X5/8), and a volt meter instead of an ammeter. All this cost about $200 and was a pain to get the belt aligned(Chinese made stuff is never right). I have a 1949 8N that has been our family since 1966, I completely rebuilt the engine last year an have kept the electrical 6 volts and it runs like a top. I you have your fuel and ignition system maintained right and the starter is good, even though 6 volt turns over slow, the engine should fire right up. I see you also have the dreaded leaky axle seal problem which is common on most pre 1950 8Ns. That’s probably why your brakes don’t work. They have been converted from dry brakes to wet oil soaked brakes. That’s the next restoration phase on my ‘49. Make sure the left hood to dogleg join is kept clean, this is a common rust out area. I think the radiator overflow tube is on the left side and over the years excess coolant causes this area to rust from spray.
You're 100% correct. Both my 2N and 8N are both 6 volt. I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't... too many electrical wired nightmares when converting to 12 volt. They're junk. Keep it simple and original exactly how it was supposed to be.
@@jp3eku I remember there use to be an eight volt battery for old 6 volt tractors.😉
Nice job!! I have a stump that I have to dig out. Watching you gave me some ideas.
I have such an excavator. The disadvantage is that the wheels and the support feet are attached at a 45 degree angle. It can be difficult to load onto a trailer. If the wheels were not inserted at an angle but at a 90 degree angle, the width could be varied better. The cylinder under the excavator is also a nuisance, it should be on top. But the excavator is very solidly built and works well. In 2 hours I unpacked and assembled this excavator.

I think you have me sold on the Jansen. The cylinders look more beefy than the competition. I would like to see them add the stabilizer jacks like the Betstso but seems like it is heavier duty than the rest.
I agree that's a nice feature on the betsco. Good luck with your machine! I love this thing
Where did you get that bucket for the MB300?
You need a microphone! Very hard to hear you.
Do you have any review of actually digging with this machine?
I have plenty of videos with it digging on here. Not sure what you mean.
And that is how WE random guys who have bought the random backhoe (I have BRONCO one) are trying to justify their purchase to their wife....digging randomly in woods saying that this is a threat to a house :D
Hahahaha
Like you, I pulled many times and could not get it to start. Then I saw you made an adjustment at 3:18, and it started right up! So, I tried the same thing, and mine started right up! So, if anyone out there can't get their new machine started, try opening the choke a bit. Thank you, Mountain Man!!!
Glad it helped!
What rocky soil Just a weak engine Not enough torque No rocks came out that I can c
Roots…
To big a bush hog for that tractor!!! It strains the lift and the motor!! You need a 4 ft bush hog!!!!
The 5 ft. Model 12 Bush Hogs were used on many 8Ns without any problem and they had 1/4” thick decking on them. We ran one for over 30 years with no problem. Bush Hog was sold in 2008 and had been re- decked twice. 8N got complete engine rebuild in 2022 and is still going.
I would advise staying away from this company, The customer service sucks after it’s warranty is expired. Your better off buy a Northern Tool. Customer service will be much better!!
Double check your welds everywhere. Mine are complete junk and i've spent hours rewelding and fixing it, but I love the machine. Still going strong 6 years later except for the fact that it's been ripped apart (due to poor welds).
What would you use the thumb for? With the lack of reach, mobility and boom height I don't see much use for it on mine (different brand, but same machine). I have gotten a ton of work out of mine as well. Once you got it, you will really miss it if is gone. Only replacement would be a tracked one with 360deg swing. But that is a different price level completely. With the basic controls and rough hydraulics you really learn how to operate an excavator :-) Taking slices of the ground and not filling the bucket, being light on the controls and developing an eye for slope and grading. I got the big bucket for grading work as well. It is handy if grading but really too heavy for the machine.
Mostly I'd use it for clearing out trails. I'm able to somewhat pick up logs and move them now, but I'd have a lot more control with a thumb. I wish the bolt on one from Amazon fit this machine. It apparently does not.
@@jbmountain4991 Aha. Big woods perhaps? I don't have that on my property here over the pond so did not think of that. Making and welding on a fitting would be a quick project I think. But certainly not a first welding project. If you are not familiar with welding that is really a great skill to have when you have equipment like this :-) Thanks for the answer.
@rolfnilsen6385 yeah lots of woods haha. I bought a welder, but I need to practice a lot more before I try anything on this, I am not very good with it lol
@@jbmountain4991 Find somebody to help you get started. It is not hard but the learning curve is much easier if you have somebody correcting you. And it is really worthwhile for us guys messing around with gear like this.
Nothing like a tracktor to make country life easier love cutting tall grass with my Ford NAA 1953or1954
Hi, can you help me understand the oil window? I just purchased the MB300 and I've put nearly 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid in the machine and there has been absolutely no change in the oil window. I'm wondering if I just haven't put enough in, or if I'm even looking in the correct place.
Hello, the oil window is where the thermometer is. Was that where you were looking?
@@jbmountain4991 Yes that's where I was looking. I'm guessing I just don't have enough hydraulic fluid in it yet to show.
@cpa4life499 it was about 5 gallons if I remember correctly. Once you see a little in that window stop adding and move the controls around some. It changes a lot as you fill and empty the cylinders. Then see if you need to add more
