Thank YOU, sir! 👍

I think a good deal of that was just regular old dirt too... weight of all of that heavy O2 aside. 😂

Thanks for watching! 👍

Non-detergent 30W Valvoline.

It's entirely possible, and probable, that I didn't use the tool correctly, but that isn't HVAC tube in the video. It's not "copper", despite how it looks, and I don't think it has the same temper and wall thickness either. So, I wouldn't say the nicop line I used is "hard" to work with, but it's not as forgiving as some of the dead-soft copper I've seen used for HVAC so it's not really fair to compare them. The bending springs I ended up using are intended for that type of tube, which is why they gave me a bit of trouble of this harder stuff. I would also imagine most HVAC guys could do a better job than I did no matter what tube it was. 😂

@@TheBrokenLife Yeah, I have only done automotive and the compound bend never occurred to me until I saw him do this. Just wanted to throw it out there. As you said may not work as well on CuNi as it does soft Cu.

Two things... First... A viewer begged me, and I mean that literally (over a dozen comments in a single evening... one about every 20 minutes) to make this video and do _the best I could_ to help him out with a compressor that I told him I have no experience with. So that's what I did. I _thought_ I made that clear in the video. If I didn't, I apologize. Second... I openly welcome corrections. If you want to make a companion video that fixes my invalid my assumptions, I'll happily link it. Thanks for watching. 👍

And how tight should it be I replaced it and 2 days later it flew off on the highway

I'd be willing to bet it's dealer-only and discontinued a long time ago. If you absolutely want the factory part, a junkyard would be your best bet. That said... I don't think there is anything special about it. You should be able to get something pretty close from your local hardware store, or McMaster-Carr, and adjust it to fit properly.

@@Elijah-dh7qg Frustratingly, the factory manual doesn't specify a torque on that bolt. I'd probably go with 35ft/lbs for that size of fastener.

Keep in mind I don't own this compressor and have never actually seen one. A viewer asked for help and I did the best I could. What I was trying to explain is how to remove or work around the air regulator. I'm not entirely sure how its set up on that model, so I can't tell you exactly what to do, but that's the goal.

@@TheBrokenLife no problem. i was just hoping there was something left out due to time constraints or something. i appreciate you trying to help people

@@ocsplc Sadly, no. I just don't quite know what I'm doing with the model in question. 😂

Nope. Just gravity feed. I can't see any reason why it would need a pump. Edit: I'm realizing you probably saw my fuel filter. It very much is a good idea to add one.

​​@@TheBrokenLife, I have problems with flow rate to carb with a fuel filter. That made me wonder if I should add an electric fuel pump

@@paulg444 I suspect your fuel supply issue is caused by something else. Your internal screen in the tank may be obstructed.

I've never tried it, but... I don't _think_ HDMI supports daisy-chaining and this Dell is just a touch too old to have Thunderbolt support. Plus, the screens you're seeing are cheap TVs, not monitors, and have no provision to output another signal to pass along. These days I think I'd just suggest a really cheap GPU like a GT 1030 or something for running multiple screens on a machine like this. At the time of recording (peak supply chain shortages), even those cards weren't "cheap".

@@TheBrokenLife ahhh I gotcha. I am upgrading an Inspiron 3880 rn hahah so I’ve seen all the vids. I’m debating throwing in a spare AMD FirePro w2100 I’m not using. I was hoping to be able to throw a second 3.5 HDD and run as my nas, but probably just going to give to my sister to take to college. Or might just make a dedicated Plex server lol, but live the Inspiron vids. I’ll try daisy chaining it tn, but I think it’s on the monitor end if it’s capable or not

@@ca8482 FWIW, the 3880 is 1 HDMI version too old to support HDR, so, if you toss a "modern" GPU in it you gain that functionality as well.

You're very welcome! Frustratingly, the rubber diaphragm design has been around forever and was quite robust in years gone by. I have a compressor in the family that is from the 1950s and I'd be surprised if it doesn't still have its original switch. We're dealing with the diminishing quality of modern manufacturing... but, we're also getting it really, really cheap. So...

That's not a brand I recognize and I typically suggest people stay with name brand stuff.

@@TheBrokenLife i have cooler master mwe 450 w

The Miltons have been much better than most others. That said, I've moved on to Parker fitting, which are out right good, but radically more expensive.

You, I guess? 😂

You will for sure need an upgraded PSU for that and you will find that video in the playlist that is linked in the description. I have an RTX 4060 in mine at the moment and it's 226mm long by 2.2 slots high. It _just_ fits and I don't run hard enough for cooling to be an issue. If you want to game with something, you should probably upgrade cases (also a video in the playlist).

@@TheBrokenLife thanks man

@@Dr_Coop Good luck! 👍

Were you able to??

You're very welcome. 👍

sony-errickson msata was available for celluar-GPS-wifi abgn in one card

sequence] = digital-analogue converter to digital-signal-processor to digital-sound-processor = now do 2,3,1

the most expensive is video signalling over long-distances. 15m VGA cable is the limit for projectors. long is not-linear scale prices. HDMI is short. video-balun for coaxial is also expensive. wireless is also expensive. baseline for ether and etherbase and ether net and ... is reserved for long-distance projector cabling. other ports can use for hub, example HDMI port. if stuck with a bunch of tv-boxes... SBC...

the next expensive is emulate hyper-v and hyper-visor. assign and provide "sockets" to InterProcessorSignalling. virtualise 1physical to 2logical and back to 1logical

I'm not that familiar with the 3910. I think at some point Dell switched PSU connectors so the adapter I show in the video won't work. I'm not sure though.

@@TheBrokenLife From what I can see, it has the same exact motherboard as the one in the video. I think it should work, right?

@@bakrialkhateeb7236 It can't be the exact same board because you have a processor 2 generations newer, which is a different socket. The best I can really say is you're going to have to research it further. I don't _think_ it uses the same power plug, but I don't know for sure.

@@TheBrokenLife you're right, I didn't mean the exact same motherboard. I meant the exact layout. I'll try it out anyway. Thank you

@@bakrialkhateeb7236 Good luck with it. Let me know how it works out! 👍

The hardest part of the job is running the hose the clamp that holds the filter body to the car. 😆 Thanks for watching! 👍

I avoid removing that direction control bracket like the plaque. It took me forever to get it adjusted again the last time I touched it.

I didn't. I set it to automatically boot under a power-on circumstance and then used an outlet strip to control it.

Probably around 3/4".

Good luck with it! 👍

I appreciate that very much! Thanks for watching! 👍

If the safety is blowing off at or over 175 psi, then it sounds like the pressure switch is faulty and should be replaced.

Can't please everybody. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks for watching. 👍

Spray foam won't add any structure back to the car and is not water-tight. It just holds moisture up against the steel. For something completely cosmetic to make it look a little better, I can see it, but not for something like this.

@@TheBrokenLife You would need to spray some undercoating in there first to keep it from rusting and also add some steel to help strengthen it up.... chicken wire and long lengths of coat hangers works pretty good.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you're finding the videos useful! I hate to jinx myself, but... I've never really had to touch any of the engine controls on any of my Escorts. Some of the magic of having extremely simple pre-OBD II EFI setups is that they will run forever even if half of the sensors are bad. In my opinion... If the car is running fine, not leaking coolant, the cooling fan cycles, and it's not overheating, I think I'd leave things alone. You start poking the bear and the bear is going to poke you back. 😅 That said, it's still a Ford and there are still dealers. You can always run it over to your local service department and ask them to tell you what it is. You can also email me pictures at the address in the description, but the dealer will know better than I will... probably. FWIW, I had mine aligned at my local dealer a couple years ago and they didn't even bat an eye. They must still see them with some regularity.

I'm not sure if I understand the question. Normally the pressure switch would be replaced as an assembly that includes any of its internal valves. Normally I'd expect to see a diaphragm inside one that would leak. I don't think I've ever seen a needle valve on an air compressor. Are you possibly talking about the emergency relief valve? They normally have a key-ring kind of thing through the head so you can manually pop them open to test them.

@@TheBrokenLife the elbow shaped valve on the underside of cover .. short aluminum line connects to it that comes around from a fitting in the tank

@@DanParcel That's the bottom of the diaphragm chamber. Odds are pretty good that the entire switch needs replaced. They're only a few bucks.

All links are in the video description.

In general, soon. On this project? Unclear...🤣

Thanks! I don't. I bought it from one of the various Cub Cadet specialty vendors. I _think_ it's just a 3/8" NPT pipe plug with a magnet glued into it.

@@TheBrokenLife Gotcha! I know my 149 drain plug is not npt threaded. I did however find that Wally world carries the 93 mm 15 flute oil filter socket for $3.89 !!

@@cgeromi There goes that theory. 😂 Odds are good that you're going to need some other bits that "harder" come by anyhow, so you'll probably end up with a decent order going with one of the vendors and can grab one then.

@@TheBrokenLife For sure! I already have the carburetor ripped off because the fuel bowl seals are shot. And yesterday I replaced the tank shut off valve which only worked 99%. Funny how 1% really matters when it comes to fuel shut off lol. I really have to say again how amazing you're videos are. I purchased the 149 because I grew up with my dad's '69 147 and I adored that thing. My dad's 75 and still runs it and it runs well!! It's sad too because I own a 2020 xt2 gx54d since new and I feel as though this 149 will outlast the 2020. Don't get me wrong, the 2020 is a cool machine but not near what IH created in the 60s and 70s!!

@@cgeromi Great! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Unfortunately for my tractor... there are more on the way. 😂

Good luck with it! It sounds like a very close cousin of the compressor I have these days.

@@TheBrokenLife Thanks! I think it's 15 gal. Probably the same one rebranded.

The damage was already done long ago on this compressor by the time that came to mind. You will find a video in the compressors playlist where I installed a water separator on the compressor that eventually came after this one.

I'm glad you found it helpful! You're very welcome. 👍

The trouble with trying to find leaks in this particular setup is that it's only pressurized when the compressor is running and when the compressor is running, so is the fan... so everything makes bubbles and feels like a leak because of the wind from that.🤣 I did end up switching over to a stainless compression fitting at the compressor head, which made a world of difference... which reminds me of the video I have yet to make that.

@@TheBrokenLife try detergent by its self or a piece of cardboard to block the wind for a moment.

Thanks! I'm extremely paranoid about all of those "quick" drain adapters. My fear is that they will decide to quick drain while I'm driving. 🤣 I also had overall height concerns as this drain plug is almost the lowest point of the car. What I ended up with is just slightly taller than the stock plug and is within the the envelope of the cross member. If I had bought something ready-made, I don't know what I would have gotten.

Nope. Just drain it, change the filter, fill it, and run it. Good luck with it! 👍

​@@TheBrokenLifethat's great news!! My dad has a '69 147 he bought new. I'm living on the tradition. I have a feeling I will enjoy this more than my 2020 xt2. Sad but true!!

The one you saw in the video ended up having an extremely short life. Buried deeeeeeep in the manual, Ryobi states that this tool is limited to 2" attachments. That may have been some of my problem with it...

@TheBrokenLife intresting I believe I was using a 2inch rolx flap disc on it but I will double check in the am thanks for reaching out 👍

@@hybridt I really need to make a follow-up video on this tool (I have another new one to start the review all over again), but something Ryobi warranty kept saying when the first one went in is "sand" and not "grind". So... keep that in mind too. They don't seem to actually expect anyone to do any grinding with these grinders, or at least that was the impression they gave me. Thanks for watching! 👍

The good news is that no one mis-adjusted anything on purpose. The button just broke off/fell out. Order a couple of bronze ones off of eBay so you always have a spare (they wear out). It's easiest to remove the rock shaft from the tractor, press the button in with a bench vise, and then reinstall the shaft.

It's most likely not bootable. You need to have it configured with some sort of OS that boots before you will see it in the order.

@@TheBrokenLife Ok, how do I make it booted by the system?

@@mto.45 What operating system do you have installed on it?

Unless I'm going crazy (which is always an option)... You have to disconnect that linkage from the rock shaft at the PTO to replace the deck drive belt. If you were able to slip the new belt between the engagement arm and the PTO without doing so, then there's probably not a button in there anymore. If it was working before, you may have accidentally broken it off while replacing the belt. The original fiber buttons are very brittle so that's fairly easy to do. I generally prefer the bronze aftermarket ones for that reason. Without seeing it, that's my best guess.

Thanks!

Something is forcing the PTO clutch to remain engaged. Did you remember to reconnect the linkage?

For sure? Where is it located?

There’s a long rod on the right or passenger side but I think that for height adjustment? Either way that is reconnected.

I noticed there is no resistance in the engagement lever not that there was much before; but none now.

@@cwwestern1 That rod should connect the engagement handle lever (on the left side of the tractor... it bridges over to the right) to the mechanism that pushes on the center of the PTO on the front of the motor. Since you are feeling no resistance on the handle, you may have altered that adjustment or your PTO button fell out/apart while you were working. In short, the button should be pushing on the center of the PTO clutch when the handle is in the "released" (rearward) position, and just barely not touching it when it's in the "run" (forward) position. I have a video called: TBL 28 - Cub Cadet 149 Annual Service / Preventative Maintenance Guide! ...and there is a time stamp in that video for inspecting/adjusting your PTO. It should give you the general idea of how things should look. PS: The handle on the right is to raise and lower the hydraulics, but there is no linkage for it. That handle integrated directly with the hydraulic block bolted to the dash tower.

Still unknown.

@TheBrokenLife im a forklift apprentice and we look over everything and we use agm optima batteries upon my inspection discovered 3 red top batteries bulging at the top post i swapped them out immediately they were all 5/24 stamped new batteries

@@andrewcampbell-young8426 In my comments you can see Optima suggesting the only way that can happen is from overcharging. Since yours are under warranty, I'm sure they'll want to take a look at them.

@@TheBrokenLife yes sir exactly
