Thank you for checking the video, and yes, I may give it try without the suit, I think the trick is smoke them first real well. They seems to like the sound of the Perking diesel engine.

The pump I use to get the fluid out work great, it was a good purchase. I have used on other tools as well. I can't wait to built a carport in the next coming months to keep the tractor away from rain, sun, etc... Thank you for offering help with the parts. I may reach out when I get to the hydraulic pump overhaul. The transport works great but the draft (pushing into the ground) I don't think it does.

Coolant level is stable, I believe it got rain water in the engine. I keep it under a tarp, bit it is not big enough. I'm keeping an eye on the oil color now. Thank you for point it out.

In my last video, painting the MF i change the oil under the steering column, is that the one you mean?. It is called I believe steering box. I may be wrong.

@@BUTTEWORKSyes that’s it! Thanks! I found my owner’s manual and it states to use Permatran 3 fluid, which is basically a hydraulic/transmission/differential fluid. It takes .95 U.S. quarts (almost a quart of fluid).

I don't' recall where I found the amount for my truck but it was a list for all GMC vehicles, all years and models. I used 2.5 cans as recommended and so far it is running great. I'm sure if you use 2 cans it will work as well. I just made a quick search and there are multiple pages with service manual pictures showing 1.6lbs (25-29oz) for GMC Sierra 1500 year 2014. I'm glad you found the video useful.

@@BUTTEWORKS Thank you! I really appreciate that. BTW - also replaced my condenser and that video was magic as well!

Thank you for checking the video, I'm glad it helped you.

Thank you very much. I agree, I really do love the sound of the Perking engine, so round. As a friend of mine say, it sound like if the pistons were made of rubber, very mellow. You have to love these old, overbuild, iron block tractors, they will outlast any modern tractor.

@@BUTTEWORKS 💯

Thank you for sharing that info, I'm sure that if your broke your a few times, more people will be in the same situation. The hoses are kind oof exposed and easy to get caught on branches.

Thank you for your comment. Even with you fluid you can still steer the tractor, just mechanical. I drove mine like that for a year. Now that I have the power steering working it feels so much better.

Iron machine, indestructible.

hahaha, I'm glad you are still subscribed.

@@BUTTEWORKS I will always stay subscribed to your channel, man. I love the 231 (I have a 1998 year model), you’re a whizz with that tractor, and you are a good person. I also love how you got all your parts posted in the bottom the video description.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

Thank you, I'm glad you can use this information on your tractor.

Thank you, I'm in my second pile. First one got used planting trees. I will review the current one on a following video.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Thank you for checking the video, I'm glad it has helped you.

The tool is extra to buy. If you get creative you could get it out. But the tool was not that expensive. Although it is a tool that won't get much use after the first time. Thank you for checking the video.

@@BUTTEWORKS Thank you for your interest in your return.

Thank you for your comment, enjoy the MF, it is a great tractor.

I'm not familiar how transfer switches work.

Hahaha where is the fun then. I almost lost my eyebrows!!!

hahahaha thank you. Next time you get stuck on mud fell free to call White Rhino towing services.

Thank you for checking de video, I'm glad you liked it. Now it is time for her to wake up from hibernation and make some dust.

Thank you for the comment, I then need to find out how water is getting into the engine. I have a tarp covering the tractor always and a little bucket over the exhaust. I think I'll get a larger tarp that cover the tractor all the way to the ground. Now that you mention that I'm going to keep a closer look to the oil. Will change it back soon then. Thank you again, good info.

@@BUTTEWORKS And you should probably take a look at the oil in the transmission. It can get water in the oil also.

@@texascottonfarmer I checked via de dip stick and looks clear, but will drain a sample. The water in engine oil has me intriged.

hahaha I agree, it is a radical change. For tractors, unlike cars, colors are their identity. Happens in motocross bikes too, each brand has a color, never changes. It was a fun project though. This MF is unique now. Thank you for checking the video.

@@BUTTEWORKS Thanks for putting the video out for viewing.

I'm glad the video has helped you out. Thank you for the comment.

You are right, I bend it when I had no idea what i was doing and half way in I moved the tractor forward to get it straight. Thank you for checking the video.

I don't know what you mean with o-rings. I used two rubber-metal washers on the inlet and outlet pipes. One on each.

Thank you for checking the video.

Thanks a lot, I didn't want to use any chemical around the hives but if this one you mention works, man way to go. I'll be trying next weekend. Thank you.

@@BUTTEWORKS I heard it on Barnyard bees. I thought, no, it won't work, so, I tried it.. I had vines, little plants, poison ivy, grass, etc... It killed everything but the grass quickly within a day or so. Some of the grass turned brown.. Still waiting on the rest of the grass.. I will look at it today or tomorrow, but, I can't see it not working on the grass the way it did the rest of the stuff, but, stranger things have happened. I turned the sprayer on a stream vs light spray... When I first started spraying, the sprayer was working fine.. Spraying a finer wet mist.. It started screwing up, like it had some trash in it, so, I opened it up to get a spray more like a stream when I was doing the other stuff. Maybe the light wet mist wasn't enough? Maybe it is a root thing? I need to mix up some more and get more of the yard. I just mixed and tested a gallon.. But, if you try it, make sure you test spraying on the grass, and some direct down toward the roots to be sure. BTW... Mowing is much better than weedeating.. I can get away with passing by with a mower usually. There is something about that buzz and things popping up against the hive that spells danger.

@@MarkThomas123 I already have the sprayer ready. Will try the next weekend, Also got an small sickle as another person recommended to cut the grass and spray right after. I really appreciate your help, thank you for the info.

@@BUTTEWORKS I only sprayed/tested a gallon in an area. Acted fast on weeds/ivy, etc.. Burned the leaves and wilted everything in one day. But, didn't do that much to the weeds. I had enough to make one more gallon, so, I focused on the grass around the area, since it didn't seem to have the same effect. I'll look at it today and then in a few days again to see what it did. This time, focus on the grass itself. Let you know what I find, but, may not be as effective, because, I know I sprayed some grass before and didn't see a bunch of brown grass, so, we'll see. Hope it works better.. Ha.. Especially in your case.. Might try to find some Matts of some sort to lay on the ground extending a foot or two out from the hives before you set them... Anything to keep from having to weedeat.. Ha..Ha.. :)

Two more weeks or one day they will find themselves swimming in a crockpot.

I had to search what a scyte is. I think I'll get one to clean around the hives. Thank you for the comment and recommendation.

I totally agree, beekeeping is very expensive. In my case it is my ag exception so I need to have it, but it seems cheaper having a couple of cows free ranging instead.

Thank you for the advice. If I smoke the hives they kind of relax a lot. I think the sound and vibration of the trimmer in the legs of the hive stand rattle them. But I'll keep an eye during inspection to see how they behave. If they are too aggressive I may have to change queens.

@@BUTTEWORKS BW ~ I only know enough to realize I don't know enough. Yeah, they did not approve of the weed whacker one little bit. Sorry you got multi-stung. Best of luck.

@@BiterAvid Then you know more and I know hahaha. Thank you for checking the video.

Thank you for subscribe, I appreciate it. I'm in south TX.

Thank you very much. I'm glad the videos are useful to you. Take it easy and you'll get it done, this job is just time consuming but not complicated.

If they get inside the hives their larvae will destroy the comb and the bee colony will die. Plus all the frames would need to be burned. They are nasty when they get inside a hive. Last year I lost 3 out of 7 hives to moth.

My pleasure, thank you for checking it out.

I would check the connectors cables going to the compressor to make sure they are ok, but if it works when tapping on it, it may be a defective compressor.

@@BUTTEWORKS thank you for the info appreciate it!!

And btw it’s a brand new one is it possible for it to be bad??

I'm not familiar with the TF-71SC. The tool I used to check the temperature is called Icarsoft. A left a link to the tool in the description in the video.

No, but it is very simple, just to bolts and the two hydraulic little tubes. Five min each.

Imagine you have a short to ground, that means neutral is hot, that means the neutral in your generator would be hot but since it is floating, the current will go to the ground on the panel. Is you neutral is bonded, now your generator frame is hot. No bueno. Thank you for checking the video.

Good luck, just take your time. And remember, sometimes, bolts gives you a hard time to get out, video editing remove lot of that hassle hahaha. So a bit of struggle is normal.
