I just found you videos looking at Kubota tractor videos I’ve love trucks my whole life about to finish my dads truck I inherited and got into tractors your videos are great I love seeing you put genuine mechanical knowledge into fixing up this old tractors into being working machines they may not be nice and shiny but you make ‘em run right
I've got a 1990's "dumpster dive" dishwasher that has been repurposed as a fantastic "parts washer" for these exact jobs 🤣 The nice part is having the heating element in it. I have the drain hose rigged back into the dishwasher through a hole in the back so I can recycle the water/detergent a few times. Heating element at the bottom does a great job heating the water and getting grease off parts. Regular liquid and powdered dishwasher detergents work OK if you triple the amount (not dishwashing liquid, that foams up). A little liquid laundry detergent added to the mix it works even better for me. When the 2 or 3 gallons of water gets too nasty I take the hose off, pump it into a jug and take it to the oil recyclers.
@@davidsharp9166 Easy enough to make your own. Mine's an old one with full manual controls so I can set it to heavy wash, no heated dry (that would just boil the recycled greasy water in the sump) and run it once or 3 times whatever it takes to get the gooey shit off. It works better than I ever expected, powdered and liquid automatic dishwasher detergents work surprisingly well. Banging the drain hose back into the machine is what does the trick. I wash a lot of engine stuff in it, saves a LOT of brake cleaner, gloves and rags and paper towels
Hey Marty, Thanks for inspiring me to take on tasks like resetting valves on the string trimmer, rebuilding the carburetor on my small engines. But the best inspiration was when my property was going to flood, plugged in the pump and got quite the electrical shock when I grabbed the handle. Instead of running to the big box store to get a new 1. Checked it and all the connections. Found out the plug from the extension cord had corrosion, got a new plug, replaced it. So, instead of spending $180 USD for a new pump, took an after market plug , put on extension cord No.more shocks, pump worked, barn saved and horses happy. Thanks Mate!
I love that he uses basic tools to do everything, that said we should pitch in and send him some big sockets and a Milwaukee M12 stubby impact to help with disassembly
All I can say is you don't need a gym. You get a workout whenever you work on something. And two ratchets at a time! YOU DA MAN! I am lucky if I can keep just one on the nut, or bolt that I am taking loose. Stay safe! Great job!
Good to see your apprentice is on the job and asking pertinent questions. May I suggest that for his next skill test, you scatter several 10 mm sockets in and about your tighten engine shroud and have him retrieve them. He passes if he retrieves them all with extra credit for finding the additional 10 mm sockets that you and every other mechanic 😊lost during it's entire life!
I'm amazed about how often you've made use of that hydraulic press in your various repairs. You thought it was a little weak when you put it together. It would do me or anyone else, for sure.
This is why I like watching your videos ,there is just work and no dribble about absolutely nothing un-interesting . A channel worthwhile thank you Marty
wont be long and your son will be the test driver and you will be holding the camera!!! they grow up fast and hope he love working on machinery!!!!!!!! l will be watchin!!!!!
1:07 😳I've never seen that before. 👍👍 13:21 Yeah, it works! Uh oh here he comes. RUN EVERYONE! 🤣🤣 Your mechanic repair skills are awesome. You have a GREAT channel. Thank you. 👍👍
Marty, your son is a wise boy. I laugh every time he displays his knowledge of the why, the what and the how. You’re raising him up to be a fine man, just like you. God bless your entire family. Great content, as always. 🥸👍👀🔧🔨🎆💨✅
I love your camera placement. It allows me to clearly see what your doing 95%of the time. Also the explanation/naming of almost every part. Its greatly appreciated and really a big reason I absolutely love your vids. Keep it up Marty,!!
I have a similar Kubota tractor with a leak just like yours, so I thought that after watching you do the repair, I'd go ahead with mine. I couldn't have been more wrong! It is much more involved than I imagined. You make it look easy though, you obviously know your way around machinery. I'll take the coward's way and just keep topping up the oil. At least you've shown me where the oil goes in.
Hi Marty. The old Kubota should run for another 30 years. They are only small but they do perform well if used within their limits. Had one at the vineyard I worked for and it never stopped and it more then paid it's way.
Super Job, sir. I work in a Kubota dealership here in Louisiana. I can't remember how many seal contaminations I have seen. Twine is the number one culprit followed closely by barbed wire. I seriously admire your skill in troubleshooting and patience in working on your little tractor. Involving your child in the process is also awesome. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Louisiana USA.
Hi Marty, that string looked like plumbers hemp to me. We use to use it to seal the threaded joints on Gal water pipe. Tease it out into a string like strand and we called it a grommet. Thanks for posting the video. Always entertaining. Cheers mate.
Nice repair, like the replaceable shaft sleeve, wish more shafts had that feature. Good job 👍. Ps on your hydraulic press release valve, take a plastic HF shorty screwdriver, heat shaft, remove shaft. Now with screwdriver handle heat release valve on press, push screwdriver handle onto heated valve, give a little "squiggle" let cool, makes press more user friendly
When you mentioned the lack of large sockets or spanners and had to make a sub-optimal plan, I noticed you exhibited a lot of care to not mess up the nut. "Mechanical sympathy" as a mechanic friend of mine would put it. 😀 Nice attention to detail with that gasket and greasing up prior to assembly.
Thanks for the latest video!:) I was surprised the housing was stamped metal. Also great to see your son's interest in what you're doing. Cherish these moments! Today I just completed the job of rebuilding the engine on my 79 jeep CJ7. It's always great when a big job is complete:) Thanks again from Wisconsin!
😳 I was blown away by the double ratchet trick, brilliant time saver. Won’t be too long before the little ones will be driving your fleet around. Stay safe big fella 🇬🇧
You reminded me of a mechanic I worked with years ago. He had suffered brain damage from a car wreck and took months of physical therapy to recover. He slowly discovered that he was ambidextrous but could use both hands independently doing different things. He would use 2 ratchets in different places, wrenches or whatever. The neatest trick I saw him do was write 2 sentences on the white board. Not only that but different sentences. One backwards one forwards or any combination you could ask. He could also print one and write the other in script. Yep, he could write script backwards too. He said it was because his brain had to relearn how to do everything except breathe, heartbeat and digest food. He could do some really freaky stuff with his eyes too........ 😳😵💫😖🤷 Cheers Terry
@@MartyT LOL! It might be friend! Nice job on the tractor. You have a smart little one there. It's always good to teach them practical things early. My oldest son was on a road trip with a friend and I. We came to the realization that we had left the small bag of toys to entertain him behind. Not having anything else I found an adjustable wrench and a bolt with a couple washers and nuts in the tool box. That entertained that 3 year old for the whole trip. That was over 30 years ago. Now he is an industrial electrician making over 40 dollars an hour. You just can't help but to be proud of them. Looking forward to your next video as always. Cheers Terry from South Carolina USA
Nicely done Marty. I enjoyed watching your helper explain to you how things worked it's always good to have a subordinate that knows more than you do! That boy is a treasure, ask me how I know? I have a stepson who's 42 now, however, when my wife and I got married I had assumed we can have one more child. Sadly, she got sick right after we got married and that was the end of that? I've always regretted not having a bio child of my own but that does not take anything away from my step-son I could not ask for a better child biological or otherwise. I do not think that my stepson is a stepchild I think of him as my child. This is the only way to look at this, because if you start with that step family mindset you may start to play favorites. I've seen happen, sadly this happens way to often and I was not going to let that happen to us. I always look forward to your videos they're very calm and I really enjoy that. Do you ever have any trouble getting tools and what not from the states? If you do let me know and you can ship it to my house and I'll ship it to you the only thing it will cost you is the shipping and generally you can get free shipping to me and then I'll just charge you whatever I get charged. I'm a strong believer in what goes around comes around meaning if you help someone someone will help you eventually. Well this is not some sort of quasi-religious thing I just think it's the right thing to do. Thank you for sharing these videos best regards Bob from Virginia USA
Hopefully you can keep getting gray parts as you need them-would hate to see this tractor parked b/c of parts. Thanks for another lesson Marty; I always learn something. God bless.
While shopping for large spanners, grab a parts washer. Makes these jobs so much nicer to do. Everything that comes off my machines goes straight in the tub first.
Hello Marty. You have repaired so many things, that it makes me wonder if you ever make a repair sometime that you have never done before and rely on past experience to complete the job. Have good days!
Nice teaching moment for your son. Let him know that no matter how many gears in the gear train, just count them up. Even number will go opposite of the input shaft and odd number will go the same direction.
Another successful repair job for the books! I always enjoy watching you solve mechanical problems (not really a problem per se, but a bit of a process). I know you will always find a solution! Thanks again for showing us how you do it. 😊
Sure is refreshing to see someone taking things apart and putting them together by hand. So much stuff gets ruined by the constant lazy use of impact guns.
❤ the two ratchet’s at once. Watching you work never gets old, common sense, experience, and ingenuity. Thoughtful and informative with terrific dialogue. ☮️
It was fun to see your son running around. It would be nice for you to feature him more often. Maybe even interview him, and ask him stuff, like what he likes to do, and whether he would like to be a mechanic, etc.
While I would also like to see that, be cautious about the consequences. Aside from internet sickos, RUclips pledged to disable comments on channels that feature kids. I enjoy commenting on Marty's videos and would be sad to see that go away permanently.
I like that you don't take shortcuts or do anything halfway. I used to work with someone who was lazy. His favorite saying was, "it doesn't have to be perfect." His work was far from perfect. Eventually he was let go.
Not-sure if you have been told this today but your a true craftsman, been watching your videos for a while now, awesome! no fancy tools and the absolute perfection you achieve, so nice to see someone that really knows there stuff 😃 good on you Marty its a pleasure watching your videos.
If you have a chance look for some wheel weights, i wouldn't go with fluid in the tires that tends to rust things out. If you ever find a chance, Use galvanized washers on your machines it will act as a zinc such as preventing the rust.
Well done Marty. You always make it happen no matter what obstacles you get thrown at you. I’ve got to crack into my 1985 Massey Ferguson 1020 and see what happened when I forgot to add Antifreeze coolant before we had a hard freeze in Texas. A very RARE thing but it happened. We froze in Texas USA Winter
My poor Massy 1020 is sitting under a tarp at my ranch in N TX, I just cant bare to think it needs parted out, I loved that little tractor. @@JohnSmith-pl2bk
Marty, thank you. love the dual ratchet technique, that's great fun. However, greasing the seals and the gasket instead of rtv sealant, I think you may have changed my life. Ok, a wee splash of the melodramatic, but thank you from Canada nonetheless.
Appears to me that unit was flooded or buried over the axles in mud - or both 🤣 Definitely worth the time to tear down and clean up. All of the corruption inside the case surprised you! Really enjoy your content Marty. You are a very interesting fellow with amazing skills and abundant patience, My hat is off to you for getting this abandoned equipment back in to service. When I see the amateurs taking bank loans to buy new I can't decide if I should laugh or cry for them. I hope you're able to sell a piece from time to time and make a buck. 😊
It’s feels great I’m sure you being able to get parts and be fulfilled doing repairs yourself ? Now you feel tractor is yours and know what correct noises it should and shouldn’t make!Great job….love your videos!! 😂🤔👍👏
Your young fella loves hanging out with dad and he seems genuinely interested (as interested as they can be at that age) Wonderful watching the kids grow along with your channel Marty. He will soon have his own wrenches and multimeter soon I'm sure. I suspect he will be tall like his dad, growing like a weed. Great video. Thanks as always .
Luv Ya work Marty T you always bring a smile to my face and inspire me to tackle projects I used to send away. Like a great coach, teacher or mentor your legacy, apart from your kids will be the knowledge and positive influence you passed on to others. Thanks ps i am with the last comment double ratchet, kinda weird but inspired 👍
Great job Marty. Haven't had many new videos from the channels that I watch so I really enjoyed this one. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your week.
I know this is an older series of videos on your grey market Kubota. But I find it similar to what I’ve done with my Grey Market Yanmar here in the States. While I didn’t get mine turned over in mud, I’ve done similar work to it regarding the front axle. These grey market Japanese tractors spent the first several years of their lives puddling away in rice fields with water up to the engines. So it’s not unusual to find the front axles filled with a nice water/oil milkshake. Fortunately here in the States, there’s good aftermarket parts support for the grey market Yanmars so most parts are available. I replaced all of the front axle bearings like you did, and like you I was able to source those all locally. Seals and other special parts were also available. Anyway, nice series of videos on your small Kubota! These little 4 wheel drive tractors are very handy. Good job getting it back in action.
@@bobuncle6962 It's not officially imported by the country's importer/dealer. It may be that the tractor is not the right type... i.e tall and skinny for use in paddy fields.. and not at all stable on mountain trails or hills.... it also may not have the mandated Roll Over Protection System for the country.... So the official importer does not officially want to know about it and if he does know... will not sell parts for it. Luckily as long as you quote another tractor they DO import that has the same Kubota parts bin spare part...you will get the spare part.
Two wrenches at once! - Great Channel, thanks for content! Was away for awhile didn't know the ram died. Condolences. The old videos are still hilarious, looking forward to the exploits of the offspring. Cheers!
Nice and relatively simple repair, I like those kind! That little Kubota is coming in handy and pretty soon, looks like your son might take it for a rip!
What, no sensors, wiring and electronics to have to deal with! What will they think of next? Joking of course, but this old tractor was built before the days of all those things that force owners to have to pay outrageous amounts to be able to do simple repairs themselves, and in their own back yards. Good job done Marty!

2 rachets at once. Never ever thought of doing this, or seen it done. Brilliant!
That 3 banger sounds really nice!!
I had never realized that there was such a thing as 'gasket paper', let alone how such a thing could work.
Awesome Marty! 😀
All I can say is you don't need a gym. You get a workout whenever you work on something. And two ratchets at a time! YOU DA MAN! I am lucky if I can keep just one on the nut, or bolt that I am taking loose. Stay safe! Great job!

He’s a bit young for cruel and unusual punishment, lol. Great comment though. 🥸👍✅
Be 12mm being Japanese!!! 😉

Good to see someone greasing the new seal! It gives it a good start and avoids damage in the 1st few minutes of use, before the oil gets around.
Two ratchets used at the same time is the 1st seeing for me too! Great to see from East Texas, USA!
I agree from northern Illinois 😀😀
The best tool for the job is the one you already have that gets the job done.
Marty, you must go thru a mountain of rags for every project you do, even so I enjoy watching all of your videos, thanks for sharing.

Wow, pouring oil with no funnel and not coating the valve cover and head in oil! You truly are the master!
Hi Marty, that string looked like plumbers hemp to me. We use to use it to seal the threaded joints on Gal water pipe. Tease it out into a string like strand and we called it a grommet.
Thanks for posting the video. Always entertaining. Cheers mate.
I’ll never own a tractor. I’m still gonna watch start to finish, every video
Nicely done, Marty!
The rare double ratchet - well done, Marty.
Your boy's getting a valuable education.

A little tip for your gasket paper use a scalpel it gives you more control and it’s a lot easier to hit with.
a couple of large shifting spanners work well ! mine is very popular = an old fashioned sturdie one !
I just love these short no nonsense videos of yours. Great job as always, cheers from Canada!!!!!!
I bet the Kubota is more than happy to be back to work. Another fine video, thanks for taking the time to share it with us! 🔧⚙🚜

Double Ratchet? Where has this trick been my whole life? Kinda stupid, but also magnificent.
"Mind blown"
I came here just for this comment. I had to double take. I love it.
Just picked that up myself... Will be using in future
Never seen someone using two ratchets on different bolts before and definitely not with one hand
Wait wait wait, i got it, i got it! .. ready!?!? ……. TRIPLE RATCHETS!! ehh? Ehhh? Amirite? Yea?
😳 I was blown away by the double ratchet trick, brilliant time saver.

pretty cool that it is built with a sleeve...thats a good design i wish more manufacturers would build like that

Just when I thought I had you figured out you bust out the double socket ratchet trick

Really enjoy your content Marty. You are a very interesting fellow with amazing skills and abundant patience, My hat is off to you for getting this abandoned equipment back in to service. When I see the amateurs taking bank loans to buy new I can't decide if I should laugh or cry for them. I hope you're able to sell a piece from time to time and make a buck. 😊
That hydraulic press is worth every penny and makes life much easier for sure.
I invested in a set of those hole punchers years ago... every gasket is now hand-made...Great video Marty....😊
Thanks for the tips, I like to repair Vice buying new. Lots of life left in these old machines
It's amazing how long "it will do until we get it to the shop" fixes last.
It’s feels great I’m sure you being able to get parts and be fulfilled doing repairs yourself ? Now you feel tractor is yours and know what correct noises it should and shouldn’t make!Great job….love your videos!! 😂🤔👍👏
Hello Marty,
Good to see you again. Great repairs on seals and bearings.
Be well
Your young fella loves hanging out with dad and he seems genuinely interested (as interested as they can be at that age) Wonderful watching the kids grow along with your channel Marty. He will soon have his own wrenches and multimeter soon I'm sure. I suspect he will be tall like his dad, growing like a weed. Great video. Thanks as always .
Luv Ya work Marty T you always bring a smile to my face and inspire me to tackle projects I used to send away.
Like a great coach, teacher or mentor your legacy, apart from your kids will be the knowledge and positive influence you passed on to others. Thanks ps i am with the last comment double ratchet, kinda weird but inspired 👍
Great job Marty. Haven't had many new videos from the channels that I watch so I really enjoyed this one. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your week.
I want a tractor for no other reason than you make it look so easy to work on them. Probably jinxed myself 😂
Awesome job... And so interesting, I really do enjoy your channel 👍👍
I know this is an older series of videos on your grey market Kubota. But I find it similar to what I’ve done with my Grey Market Yanmar here in the States. While I didn’t get mine turned over in mud, I’ve done similar work to it regarding the front axle. These grey market Japanese tractors spent the first several years of their lives puddling away in rice fields with water up to the engines. So it’s not unusual to find the front axles filled with a nice water/oil milkshake. Fortunately here in the States, there’s good aftermarket parts support for the grey market Yanmars so most parts are available. I replaced all of the front axle bearings like you did, and like you I was able to source those all locally. Seals and other special parts were also available. Anyway, nice series of videos on your small Kubota! These little 4 wheel drive tractors are very handy. Good job getting it back in action.
What makes a unit grey market?

It's not officially imported by the country's importer/dealer.
It may be that the tractor is not the right type...
i.e tall and skinny for use in paddy fields..
and not at all stable on mountain trails or hills....
it also may not have the mandated Roll Over Protection System for the country....
So the official importer does not officially want to know about it and if he does know...
will not sell parts for it.
Luckily as long as you quote another tractor they DO import that has the same Kubota parts bin spare part...you will get the spare part.
The double ratchet action was excellent!
Thank you Mart. Another interesting repair documentary, easy to follow with clear narration. Bob. LH.
great repair again Marty. hey give Dave's shop a shout out he is from Ireland
Great job Marty, old Kubota still going strong great tractors!.
Very good Marty.
Good stuff Marty, I'm always amazed at how you are able to find parts for these old machines. Great video thumbs up.
Fantastic work as usual... Marty the gasket maestro!
Two wrenches at once! - Great Channel, thanks for content! Was away for awhile didn't know the ram died. Condolences. The old videos are still hilarious, looking forward to the exploits of the offspring. Cheers!
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves 🇨🇦
Enjoyed seeing you fix the wheel oil leakage
Never long enough but always a blessing Marty = ) Hope you and yours are all safe and well.
Nice and relatively simple repair, I like those kind! That little Kubota is coming in handy and pretty soon, looks like your son might take it for a rip!
Another good result for Marty The master
What, no sensors, wiring and electronics to have to deal with! What will they think of next?
Joking of course, but this old tractor was built before the days of all those things that force owners to have to pay outrageous amounts to be able to do simple repairs themselves, and in their own back yards.
Good job done Marty!
