    It's always important that when you don't know what you're doing to just unbolt parts and scatter them all over your backyard. And if it doesn't come apart, get a hammer and beat on it. If the small hammer doesn't work, get a bigger one!

    Now add a hydraulic motor to your elevator and power it off the diesel aswell so you don't need to run 2

    Nice work, the antiseize in particular.

    Never seize on the shaft but use blue locktite on the set screw. A little heat will remove it but you don’t want it to loosen while running. 🙂 as mentioned, a hydraulic motor on the conveyor would be a nice addition.

    Good upgrade on your wood splitter maybe the thing you do is built a cover to help keep the rain and snow off splitter and try keep it dry and you too when you splitter wood

    Good job, but if I could give you one piece of advice it would be to wear hearing protection. I worked on a factory floor for eight years not wearing it much and I was young and dumb, and now I'm old and hard of hearing.

    • @TheMechanicDave
      @TheMechanicDave  Год назад +1

      Yeah I do wear ear plugs there small and foam so kinda hard to see but I wear them anytime I do anything loud

    maybe I am missing something, but wouldn't it have been easier to raise the pump instead of lower the motor? Great content/video btw.

    • @kenberscheit948
      @kenberscheit948 Год назад +1

      maybe should have added a pump mount to the motor and run a new hydraulic line on one side and been fixed in an hour, the motor is already tapped for the mount.

    • @TheMechanicDave
      @TheMechanicDave  Год назад +1

      I could have done that, I didn’t want to mess with redoing all my hydraulic hard lines

    Just a work in progress......... you can outrun the conveyor now so there is that. A bit loud on your ears tho, might just lengthen the exhaust to some way of muffling the sound down some as I am old now and near reading lips. I do kind of wish I had taken a bit more concern over hearing. Not ragging on ya as if your happy then its all good

    • @TheMechanicDave
      @TheMechanicDave  Год назад

      Yeah I wear earplugs anytime I’m doing firewood, there small and hard to see on camera

    Much more suitable engine for your log splitter. I see a log lifter in the future. Your back will thank you in thirty years. Ask me how I ruined my spine and can't even get out of bed. Ever!!!
