Waldo you suck at this shit
Thank you for commenting, it helps the RUclips algorithm. Have a nice day! 😃
Waldo's World actually no it doesn’t. It dose not make you any more or less money. 🤣you get money by views and when people watch your advertising.
Those who CAN....DO. Those who CAN'T....LEAVE SNARKY COMMENTS. I learned on an old 4 stick Ford 535 and can attest to the difficulty of running one smoothly. That and working 2 levers simultaneously.
@@paulhare662 Thanks! This was my first time digging with a backhoe. Maybe I shouldn't have put it in the video because it was probably painful to watch 😂. In any case, I'll be getting lots of practice with all the rocks I have in my yard!
No, he is new at this shit.......No reason to be like that man.
"I'm trying to fix the brakes, afterwards there's not really anything stopping me"
before fixing the brakes nothing is stopping you either 😁
Hi Waldo! I have been going through your videos and I like them. Your content is great! I am a heavy equipment operator, mechanic, and CDL class A truck driver. I spent many years working for a mom and pop small construction company. It taught me a lot. Some things are just the same as you are experiencing, self-taught. I have to tell you that when using your back hoe, it is much easier to use and learn if you raise the machine up off the tires completely. That's what they are intended for. It also keeps the wear and tear off the rear axle bearings. The machine sounds great. I hope to see more of it! I really hope this helps you, because I know a great deal about equipment and just about anything that burns fuel lol. Every man has his own ways and yours are working just fine! Keep it up!
Thanks, Zack, I really appreciate the comment! You're right about using the stabilizers. Mine are leaking, so it's about time to reseal them!
Hi Zack, Just read your comment. If I finally get a back hoe, could I run some questions by you?
@@JOEZEP54 sure. Just type away. Glad to help out if possible...
@@zackhamilton7421 Thank you
Waldo, when ever you go to use your backhoe do the following, put your outriggers all the way down until your back wheels are off the ground and put your front end louder down until your front wheels are off the ground, this way you are more stable when you are using your backhoe. 7/1/2020
Yeah, I have to rebuild the cylinders for the outriggers because they're bypassing. At this point, one is actually spewing hydraulic fluid from the end cap seal 😂
Well done! It takes confidence to let the world watch your first steps! Love your vids 👍🏼
Thanks for the kind words! It was definitely a learning experience!
This shows how good Andrew Camarata is with the sticks - but keep at it Waldo, practice makes perfect
Big difference between an old 4 stick hoe and a modern 2 stick pilot control machine. This old iron takes a lot more practice to master, and they will always operate slower.
Thank you - I admire you for sharing this learning experience in a world that is quick to criticize but reluctant to get hands-on and dirty. Bravo!
I had a 190-2 and I'm blown away at how much smaller the hoe is on the 160! I'm thinking of buying a 140 now but haven't looked at it...maybe not if the hoe is even smaller.
PS I remember the first time using the multi-stick controls....eventually you learn to manipulate 3 at a time and dig efficiently. Keep at it!
Yeah, the 160 can dig a 16' hole compared to 19' for the 190. As you've probably figured out, the 140 can dig a 14' hole. Even if you're not digging that deep, I'm sure the extra reach is nice!
The exact machine I learned on! Put your palms on the outside levers and your fingers on the inside levers so you can do multiple functions at once. My dad had a construction company and I spent days digging ponds with it when it was home.
Thanks for the tip! 👍
Big rocks can be a lot like ice bergs. Usually there is way more below the surface than you think. Good job just the same.
Yes indeed! Thanks!
not an operator. However I have watched operators in the past and they would put the outriggers down until they picked the rear tires off the ground and the front bucket down and lift the front end off the ground. You are a lot more capable than I can never hope to be. Keep up the good videos
Yeah, the problem with the outriggers was that the cylinders were leaking, so they wouldn't hold the machine off the ground. It definitely made it a lot harder to operate that way!
I love your can do attitude and even when things do not go as planned you do not give up. You continue on which give me hope as well as encouragement.
I have a triend who used to drill in an lead anchor and an eye bolt. He would then set up a tripod and a hoist to pull the rcok out of the yard. We pulled some pretty large rocks out of my yard. My friend who was a landscaper, repurposed the rocks in landscaping a stone walkway from my driveway to the front door. In your case, Dino might be able to pull the rock directly out of the ground, after you drill in the lead anchor and the eyebolt. We also used the tripod hoist to pull some stumps from the ground. This approach ended up minimally disturbing the lawn ans saved me a lot of cleanup work. Caution: You do need to use an appropriately load rated eyebolt and lift chain. I was also under the inmpression that the eye bolts were one time use in this application.
That's an interesting method, thanks for sharing!
👍up Waldo. I have to learn myself on a John Deere 500 industrial. Was going to start this week. Great weather but now a forecast of 5 to 10 in of snow. I will be getting to it soon.
Stay well, Joe Z
Thanks for putting up your fist time on a 4-stick dynahoe. It makes me feel better about my first time (and I still suck at it lol).
Yeah, it's tough to operate it smoothly and efficiently! My machine definitely has its quirks (although I assume most older machines do) which makes it even more challenging
Waldo you are doing very good, the only thing I should say is, the way you bleed the break lines is reversed. You must pump the pedal while the bleeding screw is shot, then you hold the pedal down and then open the screw to bleed.
I kind of came here to say that too. His method is so close but juts a tad off. Pump 2 3 times, HOLD then open the bleeder, still holding, close the bleeder, let go. Takes two people knowing sort of how its done to get it done right. At least one.
I'm going out on a limb here. Your yard, the pines on the edge of the yard and the rotted to pieces floor of the cab tells me you are probably within about 50 miles of me. I live in southern NH.
Couple things to keep in mind.
Rocks in the yard in New England is like icebergs. Most of them are below the surface.
Also, in case you think burying them is the answer, just like icebergs every spring there's a new crop of 'em. Everyone you leave in the dirt is another one you'll visit with again if you live so long.
People think stone walls were built to line out boundaries and to keep the cows in. Stone walls only really served two purposes until yuppies and hipsters decided they were artsy. One purpose was to have a place to put the rocks that they cleared out of the fields and the other was to keep the kids busy.
Yep, I probably am within 50 miles of you! Yeah, frost heaves will definitely move the rocks around, perhaps resurfacing them. Also, keeping the kids busy making rock walls: good idea! 🤣
For your first attempt you did brilliantly , and digging a bigger hole to bury the rock deeper is a really good idea , woofwoof Aspen and Rhino
Great video Waldo. Keep it up.
Hey Waldo. and old trick that my Grandpa taught me about about rock removal. 3 words... Dy-No-Mite. Much quicker. That was back in the 50s when you could buy it at the hardware store. Good work on the brake repair. Always like what you do.
The best thing you can do is do exactly what you're doing. Go slow and get seat time in. I remember NOW what gave me a fit on the Dynahoe I ran and it was the hoe controls itself. Ford has the best pattern on the levers with crowd on the outside left and hoist main boom beside it. Bucket curl next and swing where it is on yours. That way you can crowd and lower and swing at the same time and use one hand for crowd and lower. Lots easier. Keep digging. And getting used to putting the power where it needs to be and modulate it. You'll get it.
Haha that's interesting to hear your insight on the controls! I'm sure I'll get used to these and they probably won't bother me too much since I've never used anything else
@@WaldosWorld You will. I got to where I could run the hoe but if it'd been a Ford setup I could've been smoother and faster. ut you have to pay the light bill with what's there. I'm used to I.S.O. wobble stick pattern now but can change back to backhoe if I have to. Takes about an hour for it to become 'natural' and an hour to swap back. If I had a Dynahoe I'd swap the hoses around BUT that's just me. That way I could boom out, down and uncurl he bucket at the same time.
Being a person that has operated backhoes for years, this was painful, but I do recall how helpless I felt on my first time out. Put the stabilizer feet down and keep trying. Nick, North West Farmer
Thanks! Yeah, I could imagine it would be a bit painful to watch for an experienced operator
Complete noob here (learned to drive on an International TD-5 then an Oliver Super 55 when I was around 12 y/o, some 36 years ago, but never drove a backhoe); shouldn't the stabilizers be put all the way down, as much as jacking the tires right off the ground, so the backhoe stays in place (rather than dragging along as we saw here) when pulling with the backhoe? Or is this machine simply too strong for it's own weight?
"Through the hole in the floor, we can conveniently see..."😂🤣. You got more hole there than floor, Waldo! Great sense of humor!
Looks like you have some bucket wag, might need to add some shims to the hinge pins, its painful watching you operate! :-) You'll get the hang of it though, keep the videos coming!
it takes time you will get better. i set my bucket on tires if i take it off you can rock it back to help line up pins never put your finger in the hole one of my friends lost his finger that way. take care, be safe and well.
Great job Waldo , to many throw away and give up on good ole pure American Iron . I am glad you stayed the fight and finished it . One other options that you will love is adding a thumb . I have a John Deere 410 and the thumb is awesome . It makes a tremendous difference . A 4 stick is a hard machine to learn on but in a few more hours you'll have it down . Some guys on 4 stick case go as fast or faster than 2 stick cat or JD. It looks like your building a farm , if that's the case you will cherish this machine , it will do so many things and save you when nothing else can . Just be careful and take it slow . Put more weight on your outriggers like jacking the back tires up off the ground a few inches and put some pressure down on the front bucket when digging , it will stabilize you . Not complaining , just learning myself after 17 years of playing in the dirt .
One really big upgrade for this machine would be to go in the surplus center catalog and buy a couple of there dual function stick assembly’s. They would update it to a two stick configuration. Much easier to run then the four stick.
Interesting idea! The spools are leaking a bit from wear, so that might be a good option!
@@WaldosWorld ya. I was thinking just the stick assembly. But since your valve is pretty roached. You could buy the entire valve bank with handles and everything. Pretty cheap. They are much much easier to run then the old four stick setup.
I watch till the end buddy it was fun watching you learn I work for a construction company so I already know how to do all this I’ll keep my criticism to myself😁
Hahaha thanks for watching! 🤠
Press, release... press, release... haha. Another video well done Waldo. Nicer weather is coming so you’ll be able to put the Dino to work and video it. Keep em coming. All the best.
Thanks, Scott! Warmer weather is definitely coming! I gotta take advantage and get outside and work on this Cummins now.
Thanks for great video again , bit worried there checking brakes infont of the 🏠 house but al is well , see what you mean with the rock situation, hopefully there all loose and not attached to the rest of the world , look forward to the next stage and Cummins transplant
Thanks, Steve! Yeah, I think the rocks will all be loose, but some of them are BIG! I'll probably be an expert at rock removal by the time I'm done.
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Never driven a large backhoe but have driven smaller tractor based ones and a skidsteet. I was able to get the hang of both in about a day of constantly working.
Hey, glad to see you joined the dynahoe brotherhood Lmao! I love your videos and hope to see more. I have 4 dynahoes, a 160 like yours, 2 190s and a 200. if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Thanks! Wow, you've got quite the collection!
Aloha Waldo , Your doing great , especially for learning and teaching all at the same time . Your dog is cool too . Put more weight on your outriggers so you don't drag yourself around , pin it with pressure on the front bucket , this will stabilize you and give you more digging power , rev your engine up to a good pace to keep it from lugging down . Your doing good , especially with a 4 stick . Some guys run a 4 stick better than guys on a 2 stick . I have several pieces to include a JD 410B . Check out adding a thumb . You can really pick up brusch , rocks , logs and demolition etc super fast .
thanks to MRL's comment i was brought to this page and subscribed
Thank you for the sub!
Hi Waldo discovered your channel today and enjoy it very much, watched the 9 videos on the Dynahoe 160 and lots of hard work and perseverance , i use build heavy equipment way back in the day and use to build 1 of the largest farm tractors in North America, Versatiles , big old behemoths now in heavy steel machining stuff for Cat, the cylinder reseals you did are probably the biggest/messiest pains in the butt, noticed one of your bucket pins looks worn lots might just be an elongated hole which is not too bad to fix with some brass bushing material, oh well when you get time these old machines were pretty good back in the day, the hydraulics were never smooth always a little jerky from new, just a bit now a days too much computer controls and micro switches , commenters like MRL you can simply block in your settings, I would , thats just me guess he is a troll, you will get the hang of your Dynahoe 👍
Wow, thanks for the comment, Bob! You really know your stuff! 👍
@@WaldosWorld over 60 yrs lol
Waldo I know this video is 3 years old but have you moved any more rocks? I think it would be a great idea to move those rocks to the outer edge of your yard. They would look nice and then you would have a place to sit down and relax for a few minutes
Good job bud, I just bought a Ford 555A and will be making some repairs
Thank you!
The optimism of this man. I'm going to go full reach on the backhoe and try to pick up a boulder that is buried.
Seems like you figured it out...
Your getting more and more subscribers every time I see one of your videos, hopefully you will monetize in no time! I also think your editing is pretty good so I am sure your channel will take off, its just a matter of getting people to like/subscribe/share so youtube starts recommending your videos! Good luck and I wish I could buy stock in the channel!
Thanks Carl, I really appreciate the kind words! It is very exciting watching the channel grow! Maybe I'll encourage viewers to share future videos, because that is *super* helpful. I think someone shared one of my past videos in a Facebook group because I noticed a bunch of external views from Facebook. I don't get detailed information to know exactly which group or page it was shared on, but I wish I could thank the person who shared it!
Nice work man we have a 190 dynahoe yes ear plug are a must with any Detroit lol 😂
Thanks! Yep, they call them screamin' Jimmies for a reason!
Came across your channel Today - Have been watching, for 5+ hours straight now - For Real - Have lost count…! Started, with one where you are building a trailer - Caught my interest, because at 18 I ran a shop building and repairing farm equipment - Grew up on a farm, learned to weld at 12 years old, out of Necessity - To repair our equipment, an build stuff we couldn’t afford to buy… Great videos, interesting subjects - Subscribed, and think many many more people will also… (even learned some More things, about MY 2500 HD Duramax, that will come in handy, here in the near future)
Wow, thank you so much! Welcome aboard! 🤠
Good work
Waldo, l would be very interested to find out what you do for a living! You seem to be kinda of a rookie when it comes to doing some of your tasks but others your a full fledged PRO. Your very articulate and professional. It makes me wonder what your chosen field was in college? I like how you detail everything
It’s fun to watch!
Another big issue with ol dyno is the hydraulic system, the rear arm works from a single pump, making it impossible to do certain functions at the same time. it would be cool if bucyrus erie used the front pump for the rear as well, its not like you dig with the front and rear at the same time.
The hole in the floor is mighty convenient....until something falls through.
I live in an area where it gets 110-120 in the summer, but at least we dont have any rust . You just feel like your are going to catch on fire 4-5 months out of the year 😊
Oh goodness, I can barely handle the heat and humidity here. I experienced 106 in California once, but luckily that was a dry heat!
@@WaldosWorld Ours is dry too. But over 110 is still sickening, humidity often is under 10%. Still hot though. Keep making videos !
These are great videos by the way. Great presentation and welding, good pacing and a lovely old machine! Thanks! Done a great job on the engine rebuild too: No smoke at all! How's the airbox drain?
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
you're doing alright and have a good attitude to the haters. I have a similar channel with really old equipment im rebuilding and semi trucks as well as cummins dodge. You've got a new Subscriber pal.
Thanks for the sub! Also, that's a pretty cool Detroit-powered Hy-Hoe you've got there!
The Detroit engine is ticking over way to fast, Adjust the linkage on the throttle lever to the injection pump to slow the rpm down .
rock moves machine
A few tips ...get a few more revs out of the engine ...put your stabilizers down to take the weight of the machine it won't move around so much ..you will get there with some practice..
Yeah, the stabilizers were leaking, so they wouldn't hold the machine up for very long. I've since repacked one of the cylinders, but I still have to do the other side
Good job at learning
Old dynahoeS are a rugged machine
I got a 160
Have lot of power in hoe for old machine
Amazing what large rock I have pulled out of ground with hoe
Looking for yoke for driveshaft
Not easy to find so far
Enjoy your dynahoe
I like the 353 detroit
I know it's been awhile but to anyone watching, any decent running backhoe will stand you 7500 - 10K by the time you have it working decent and not contaminating your driveway with leaks every day. Unfortunately, with the Dynahoe I learned that they are a very heavy and slow operating machine. The transmission is very slow to get you anywhere fast and the 3-53 eats fuel like crazy! Once you rebuild the hydraulic cylinders you then end up rebuilding or replacing the hydraulic pump for another 1000$. Some poor bastard in NH bought my Dynahoe for 6900$, and boy was I happy to get that much for it!!!! I would get in the shower and cry while I fixed that machine, it was leaking everywhere, snapped or stripped bolts everywhere, the brakes had an air pump mounted to the motor, with only 1 good thread left in the engine block and no access to fix it. Nothing was ever easy to fix, I HATED that machine!!!!
Aspen seems to like the rock😅
Hey Wal,,
Better clean the back window ,and get some glasses, cause you got everything but the rock
Id dig a hole n push it in too .
Was a great vid .
Nice work .
Nice video! It took guts to film your first fledgling steps and post them on RUclips.
Good stuff
If you want to move slowly forwards use the foot brake.
I here clanking noise coming from the hub
Happy you have brakes now and nothing happened. I’m guessing this is a lesson learned, besides the oil and coolant ALWAYS check brake, hydraulic and transmission fluids on any machine you buy before operating.
About the brakes, the correct bleeding order should always be: master cylinder, any compensating/diverter components THEN the wheels starting with the furthest. Otherwise you risk keeping air trapped in the system to rust it out.
whats the dog doing... haha
lawn 0, lawnmover 0, escavator 1, rocks 10... 😅
But nice to see no fear of getting experince.. thats worth everything!
I like the videos Waldo ! Do you happen to watch Mustie on RUclips . He is in New Hampshire also , he is good at modifications and back yard engineering just like you. I like your vizsla. Always good to have your dog around ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks (from Aspen and me)!! I hadn't heard of Mustie, but I'll have to check him out!
You will like his videos, he is a great guy ! Includes his dog often also !
@@WaldosWorld I like Mustie. Learned a lot from his videos.
My instructor would get on my case about being more 3 dimensional when comes to backhoe movement and not look like robot. Get your machine on long strip of field and dig a ditch as far as you can. Grab a bucket of dirt and have that boom goin left or right in a fluid motion as soon as you have bucket full. Dump it and keep going. Keep practicing. You'll get it.
Lot work Aye
Put your stabilizers down all the way, that’s what there for, good luck, yes go for the swap. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wish I saw this sooner. I passed on a running unit because the brakes did not work. My property is mostly hills and learning to use 13000 lb going down hill can be more excitement than I care for LOL. Do you have a video changing the brake pads on this unit?
I haven't changed the brake shoes yet, but it's definitely doable. I'll be sure to film it if/when I end up doing that job (the brakes work fine currently). It was a little spooky in the first drive video when I was going downhill with no brakes...if only I had the camera running at the time 😂
Woah! You'd better put those stabilizers down far enough to lift the back wheels off the ground, or you're gonna flip the machine over!
Nice
Again, woefully late to viewing these videos, but will the boom swing 90degrees to the cab…? If so, that will help weight balance, maybe help put more weight on the front end, and yes that bucket is a hellava counter weight…, hahaha..!
What's the part number for the brake Master Cylinder?
Crank that Detroit up!
Waldo I need to adjust my brakes but is there anyway to find out what’s involved in getting to the rake shoes to replace them any hthought would be appreciated
Just found your channel... I have lots of questions.... But you probably wouldn't answer all of them.
The main one is, do you feel the expenses so far, purchase, rebuild (major $?) Of the Detroit, lots of details....and given that's it's not a newer known brand, still make it a "deal"?
I've been trying to find one in similar situation. But not having deep pockets makes me wonder if I should get one. It's the unknown of mechanical issues that makes me hesitate and a wife in negative overdrive about having one.... But we have a property that needs that type of equipment.
Hey Waldo I could tell immediately you haven't done much mech work double stacking the gaskets but hey you caught your error. Then on the brakes. When bleeding brakes when the helper presses ya'll don't release the pressure till the foot is pressed not at the same time the braking is initiated. In other words some brakes will not bleed unless good pressure is in the line. What I am saying is don't start opening the bleeder until the foot stops it's motion by pressure. Capish?
I think he also needs to start with the brake diverter, but in his case, it might have been simple enough that he bled the entire system, including any bleed points just from doing the wheel cylinders. There was also a few other mistakes, but overall, he got the job done.
Was that an Essential Craftsman Burk bar?
does this machine not have a high and low transfer case?
Hey Waldo, I also have a Dynahoe 190 so watching your video's is educational. I need to recommend that you check out Facebook Groups there are two Dynahoe Groups with all kinds of excellent information. Good Luck I will continue to follow you. Keep up the good work.
nice
I have a 1980 D140. Where are you finding the parts you need?
Ill bet that rock is bigger than what it seems to be
Yeah, it was fairly large. I ended up digging a deep hole next to it and burying it well below the surface
It has a loader, a back hoe, and two outriggers for turning. How much more breaking do you need?
where did you get the master cylinder? and what is the part number of it?
From what I can remember living in NH, those are like an iceberg, 10% showing and 90% below the surface ...
How in the hell did the floor rust out with a cab on it?
Love ya vids mate, but your terrible at the controls to that thing lol 😆
Wheres waldo
I'm sure I could not have done any better! That poor backhoe had a bunch of slack every where! That was not helping you at all. Thanks for sharing with us.
Waldo, what is the breed of your amazing dog you have?
M R L ? - " MORE RUDE LOSERS" , NOTHING NICE TO SAY ? SHUT UP N MOVE ON !! I enjoy your videos and persistence to getr right :-)
Hahaha thanks, Scott! 👍
Get quick attach bucket adapter. I feel tired just watching you run back and forth lol
I was watching very closely, seems you bleed brakes with a technique that is slow. NEVER release the pedal with a bleeder open! Because the fluid will flow backwards, causing the process to double, or triple in time. Proper way is to pump 2-3 times hard and hold firm, then open bleeder for 1 full second then release pedal, not before bleeder is closed. And repeat. Good luck
When you rebuild the engine what compression ratio did you go with?
I kept it stock, which I believe is 21:1.
Waldo's World working on one now and it’s hard starting. Yours starts extremely easy compared to mine. Thanks for the reply back man👍🏼
You're welcome, and good luck on yours!
Lol if you actually had the sprinter arms down harder in the backtires off the ground you wouldn't be rolling towards your dig
Were are you located? I live in MN.
I'm in the great state of New Hampshire 👌
@@WaldosWorld it looks a lot like Minnesota to far to check out
I was going to guess New Hampshire or Vermont. Keep digging n practicing. The video quality is only bested by your determination. Good job.
were do you get parts for your 3-53 ???
I get most of the parts from dieselpartsdirect.com
Thanks, I have a #55 Michigan Loader with same engine. Need an exhost manifold, gaskets, starter.................................I will give them a call...
I love this series. I have a 1970, 160 and noticed you have a good place to buy parts. Did you go to a Detroit dealer?
Thanks! I get most of my Detroit parts from dieselpartsdirect.com
@@WaldosWorld Thanks will stay tuned.
I know the idea is to use the backhoe. But instead of tearing apart the yard, those rocks aren't sticking up that far. A couple loads of top soil, and spread it 6" deep over the rocks, seed. Problem solved.
Jackhammer attachment for the machine would work.
Practice makes perfect.
Waldo what state do you live in? Maybe NY with all the rocks? Awesome project by the way. Don't know if you have been watching JC Smith's 24v Cummins swap Dynahoe project, it's pretty cool too!
Thanks! I'm in NH. I'm a bit behind on his videos, so I'll have to get caught up!
