I bought that receiver because it was a Topcon and I thought it might work better with the Topcon laser vs another brand. Also I liked the display. It’s easy to see from the cab. Bright sunshine makes it more difficult but still you can see it. This model didn’t come with a cab indicator. I believe it could be added. If my cab on the dozer was enclosed I would have looked at that more.

That’s right! It looked way worse than it was.

Thanks! Yeah it was rigged but thankfully it worked.

lol yep! The whole roof system is about to collapse.

Lol. Yeah he moved quick. I was glad we didn’t have any more close calls. Thanks!

Yeah he pulled just the right board to make it interesting. That would be a chore to move that big live oak. This place is close to my house. I have sat on that front porch many an hour visiting Mr. Ed. Those trees are nice!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

The bed holds 8 cy to the top of the rails.

Thanks! Yep I was going to say that I have these problems because I pick on Sam but thought I would give him a break. I don’t know why their parts are so high. The shaft and gears to rebuild the drive with was $3200 from Kubota. So I bought the aftermarket one for $3200. Thank you!

Thank you for the information. I bought a new aftermarket unit for $3200 and have already installed it. I had checked with the local Kubota dealer for pricing on the shaft and planetary(?) gears and the quote was $3200 for those. I still have the old drive unit and I believe you are correct in that it is the shaft. I may price the shaft only and restore the old unit to have in the future. How hard is it to install the shaft as I have never taken a final drive apart before? Thanks for watching!

@planeanddirtsimple it's been awhile since I have done one but the best I remember its not to bad of a job just lat everything out as it comes apart and be careful with all the seals. The end cap is held in with a wire hidden under a set screw. Just spin the cap until you see the end of the wire and get the wire started coming out of the whole and spin it out

Thank you! I am glad the message had meaning for you. God says HIS word will not go out void (Isaiah 55:11). I appreciate you watching!

Yep! I thought the stump would come out easy since one side was basically exposed. I was wrong!

Sounds like the linkage may be the problem. Did you try tightening the brakes?

Thanks! If I was closer I would bring it but AL is quite a pull for me. Did you get my email?

Our company has work of that way and we are just checking on the job progress. We do power line construction.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching.

Your welcome and thanks! I appreciate you watching.

Thanks! Didn’t know I had a mid roll 😁 Did you get my email?

No lo sé, pero en Estados Unidos cuestan unos tres mil dólares.

Thank you! Yes, I have been stuck in the dump truck many times but not too many with the excavator until this job.

If you are used to single pilot operations then it will not be that hard. It starts getting busier than normal after you get on with New York Center generally. If you will look at the weather and D-Atis before you go and get family with whatever approach they are using it will help a lot. Sometimes they are using a circling approach and some approaches have a mandatory crossing height so make sure to look at plan view on charts. They generally had me down to 4000 or so a good ways out and around the hills coming in it always seems to be turbulent. Taxing is ok but it can get annoying. Sometimes you will be in a queue for taxi. You may want to listen to clearance before you start up. I always used Meridian FBO but it has since been bought out by Signature.

@@planeanddirtsimple thank you, sir

Thank you!

No I don’t think I have ever flown in there. My dad’s family is from Mountain View though. I like that area. When I used to fish a lot I would go to the Bass Cat owners tournament on Norfork Lake.

Thank you. I enjoy the M2. It pretty well meets all of the companies needs. God has blessed me more than I deserve. You’re right, things look different from the outside. Life is not perfect but I am content. Have a blessed night!

Thanks! That’s my flying hat 😁.

Thanks Pete! Service guys looked at it but couldn’t find any issue. Thanks for the heads up on the birds. I hope I don’t ever hit one. I hit a duck in a C182 once and that was not nice or cheap.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching

Yes I made it. It’s electrical conduit. I think it’s 1.5” i.d. I bought two large magnets and bolted them to the pipe. This works ok but that pipe will move some side to side. Have to keep an eye on it. I was going to add a brace on each side to help hold but just haven’t yet. I don’t know how well the factory made magnetic mount works. The best scenario is to have a plate in the center of the blade you can bolt the pipe to. Hope you like yours. I have enjoyed having the Topcon.

Thank you! Hope you have a great 4th!

Amen!

I was going to ask the same thing Pete.

I am not 100% sure but when I came back through to drop the passengers off the information was saying IFR departure not authorized for that runway. There was construction happening on one end of the runway so did that cause that? I don't know. Also when I came back through there was a lot of weather and I departed VFR and got the clearance in the air. Fortunately I was able to do that. So there may have been some confusion in the tower as to where they could issue the clearance on the ground or you had to depart VFR on my first departure.

@@planeanddirtsimple interesting. All good, you sorted it out

I told him about the cameras but not sure he understood. That was my first trip there. Nice place. Rough coming in. Denver had been shut down due to storms. The passengers had to drive 1 1/2 hr up the mountain because I couldn’t make it with DA being so high. Thanks! Have a blessed one too!

My wife buys me some Dr Pepper now but I have to ration them. Still no Kit Kat. Maybe Santa will feel sorry for me. I figured out a name for my dump truck….”Squatter”…..gets on somebody else’s place and stays there.

I think I got stuck more on this job than any other. I’m tired of cleaning 😓just as soon as I opened the window mud would come flying in. The camera deserves it.

Didn’t even hit a tree!

I did too but I was determined to get out without calling for help lol. Thank you!

I get frustrated with the cameras for sure. The dirt was soft. There had been another contractor ahead of me removing trees and I couldn’t tell where the stump holes were until I was in them. Thanks Pete!

lol. I guess so. You got me thinking….could I put a coffee pot back there?

@@planeanddirtsimple Keurig

If I remember right about 3 1/2 cans.

I’m glad it has helped someone. Thanks!

Thank you sir!

Amen!

Thank you! Hope y’all are having a good weekend!

Thank you sir! Hope you have a blessed day !

That’s right! I’m interested to see how it turns out the next go around.

Thanks Pete! I’m behind on video watching but going to catch up some this evening. Have a good one!
