- Great news is that my loader has a bucket and a Bob-Tach now! However, I figured out a serious problem with hydraulics that I have to solve. In general, you’d better see how it was 😉

While Lucia is awfully fortunate to have access to her grandfather's shop of fabrication tools, she really does some impressive work for which she should be very proud!
The building/shop, and a couple of old tools, was the initial input, but 80-90% of what's present there now she has made/collected
I am sure that Grandpa is very proud and never imagined that his 100lb little granddaughter would step into the reigns, and then master the trades.
lol, no grandpa ever had tools like these, in such new condition.
I still cant wrap my mind around building an entire skid steer. You do very clean precise work Lucia. Great video!
Try a medium complexity Lego kit first, you learn to break things apart to in to smaller systems or units.
Im not a complete idiot. Im just stressing how impressed i am with her abilities.
With some hand tools, a welder, a drill, a mill and a lathe you can darn near build anything. Throw in a CNC plasma, ezpz.
@@stuartkorte1642 well hell i have a cnc plasma table. Id like to learn how to use a lathe and manual mill.
yeah so true, and she is VERY stable on her legs.... ;)
This series is amazing, I love to watch things being built from scratch.
You are one very lucky girl to have a Grandfather that could teach you all these skills. You are every country boys dream girl. Keep making the videos they are great.
Everytime I watch your videos I am simply blown away at your instinctual mechanical knowledge. You are especially gifted!
Thank you very much!
RUclips just recommended this video to me. I was a mechanic/repair welder for years and I need to say i am very impressed with your skill and attention to details. I will go back and watch your first videos on your build of your project. Thanks for sharing your videos.👍
So great watching it all come together. I can't wait to see you driving it around and scooping stuff up!
Love this build! So many problems have arisen and you just deal with them one at a time. A true testament to your resolve and determination!
There are bolts called "plow bolts" . They have a circular conical head that wedges in a conical hole and a hardened nut is used on the other end. Perhaps that is something that may save you time on future projects. The shots of you welding with the exhaust right above you show how strong the exhaust is, very interesting. Thank you for sharing this project.
Yeah I thought she was going to use plow bolts when she chamfered the bolt holes. Then she ended up using studs.
Hello again Lucia I’m happy to see more progress on your skid …very challenging for you but what an impressive achievement you have accomplished. Thank you for all the videos you have posted and hopefully looking forward to many more ❤️❤️❤️
I had already seen it before on the other channel, I could not resist 😅
Piston seals are very easy to replace, you can soak them a few minutes in oil heated to about 60ºC to soften them a little.
Rod seals can be tricky on those smaller diameters, there is a tool that bends them into a "pretzel" shape so that they fit through the hole.
you're pretty amazing! I binged watched the whole series. I love how you show your victories and failures along the way. Looking forward to the next installment! You're an inspiration to many, I wish more people had your work ethic.
Damn women you got skills, I don’t know to many ladies who can drive loader much how to build one, outstanding job.
Yet again another great video on your build. Love the effort you put in to solving your problems and how you dont let it beat you. Keep up the great work Lucia
absolutely amazing. It's such an incredible channel and build series. Your skills and ability to build create and problem solve are impeccable. It's like watching Colin Furze's long-lost Russian cousin
Wow, thank you very much!
colin would be proud!
except she's making something useful!!! hahahaha
Great troubleshooting, that's when the real fun starts.
I don't know how I initially got your videos, but I am so glad I did. Your enthusiasm at accomplished tasks makes this old man smile. I know if my wife would sit still long enough to watch, she would say "You Go Girl! 👍" Congratulations on your success so far and I look forward to the next episode. 👍
Lucia, your skills have been expanding as you tackle bigger projects ! You have done amazing things and I love to watch you work ! ! !
best series by far on youtube in my opinion
I used to rebuild hydraulic cylinders. The cylinder leaking down is most likely an O-ring that has failed and fluid is seeping around it. The easiest thing to do would be to find a local place that sells gaskets and just take it in there and match it up. Make sure the O-ring does not stick too far off the rod as it will "slice" part of the O-ring off when the rod is inserted back into the barrel and cause the same issue. Loving the build so far👍.
Great build Lucia! Thanks for uploading it ! Such a nice shop you have!
Have no idea of her journey into fabricating but I love it. Kudos to her and her mentors whoever they may be.
I've really enjoyed watching this series. I would guess that the cylinder repair will be fairly easy. Normally just a couple o rings and a couple teflon rings if I remember right. The teflon ones are more rigid, but you can work them by hand and stretch them to get them in the groove. The will normally shrink back down if you put a hose clamp around them and slowly tighten it taking care not to tear or pinch the ring.
Awesome job! Long live Lucia and her workshop!
One of the best DYI channels on youtube and getting better with every episode.
This is so cool! What an awesome project and the way she does it is so casual like "Yeah its just my home made skid steer... no biggie" hahaha great stuff.
Always a pleasure to watch your progress on this project.
Hey Lucia. I subscribed your channel a few hours ago and was so flashed, that i watched all of your videos one after the other. It's absolutely fascinating to see you fabricating. Your welding knowledge is great and you seem to know what you do. Your alu-welding on the boat was stunning (I started to learn TIG 3 years ago since corona, but I'm way far from your skills - time and practice will help) and this loader-project is outstanding.
There are no problems - just solutions that need to be found!
Waiting for new videos I send you greetings from germany.
Nicely done…. Love your work… and solutions to problems
Absolutely phenomenal! I feel good if I can just keep my BobCat running!
I have to watch this entirely. That cat looks like a beast. I like everything inc. the design of those chubby tires. I never seen those on BobCats before but sizing and all are well suited. Don't forget to take us for a test dig. Holy smokes, great job.
Came here from another fabricator channel reference... watched which led me to sub up. You are SO gentle when testing - makes me smile, as I imagine how it will be used 🙂
Incredibly talented!!!
Project is looking great!
Lucia, You are every man's dream! Especially mechanics! I wish other girls were so hard working. And for work! Bravo!❤️
Loader is looking great Lucia! Don't sweat the leaky cylinder, it's just the way things are now. I find brand new defective components too often now, it's like no one pays attention to detail anymore.
Hi Lucia I have built many projects such as yours but without a cnc plasma cutter I'm so jealous. You are doing a wonderful job and your videos are excellent. Thanks for showing us your work.
Everything going on in the workshop, very impressive. Great videos.
Trouble shooting problems is one of the most difficult to do! Lucia, you must be so proud of yourself! In all, you've inspired me to be more hands on on my own skid steer. Really excited to see where this goes! Can hardly wait for the paint. What will be the lift capacity when complete and what is weight rating of those tires? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying this build.
Such a nice build... at the end of this you will for sure have a great Skid Steer.
And you have such a good way of explaining how you do it, so I only wish you could give more frequent updates 🙂
Great work. I love watching this come to life.
Awesome Lucia! Excellent build❤...
Thanks for sharing this project and for the inspiration. This is so awesome!
Loved your little happy dance! Sorry about the issues but I'm sure you can sort them out. Another great video!❤
Great work Lucia. 👍
Such a great build to follow! Love it
Thank you RUclips recommends, this is an awesome channel. Subbed and cant wait to see the rest of your build
Congrats Lucia, on building ur Skid Steer and ur Bucket and Bob Tech. looks like u have all of the tools and machines u needed to
build the Bucket except for a Metal Bending Machine. Maybe down the road.. some type of roll bar is needed..
Hi Lucia
Great job
Love the work shop and all the gear.
I’m a practical person myself and always loved working with steel.
Go Girl 👍👍👍
Can’t wait to see the finished machine
Kind Regards

Thank you very much Greg!
Siempre, tu trabajo es genial y reconfortante verlo...!!! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I really admire your work. I was a machinist in a previous life but not with your skills. Hopefully, you'll be able to find something else to build after this series is done.
Bravo! What fantastic work, so clearly explained in a shop as clean & tidy as an operating theatre & with all things done while wearing appropriate safety equipment & with best safety practices. As an example to inspire anyone to make the best of their talents & to do so safely it is exemplary. Thank you so much for sharing & bringing my own poor safety & poor tidying practices in to my focus of what I must improve about my own work.
Thank you very much. I'm glad my video was helpful ;)
👏😉
Nice work! Bummer on the cylinder leak though!
Great video! Becki & the kids are watching this one! They wanted an update 👊
Hey hey! Glad to see you comment my friend. Thank you for the support! Please say HI to Becki and kids ;)
I applaud you Lucia. Damn nice work .
Such a hydraulics...😮 You are great engineer ! 👏
Brilliant engineer!
Very good. Really enjoy your progress
Really remarkable work. My only concern is that the bucket looks likely to bend under a heavy load. I also find that bolt heads that protrude in to the bucket tend to have things get hung up on them. Perhaps consider making a plate with holes for the bolt heads to recess in to and add thickness at the cutting edge. I'm really loving this build and can't wait to see the finished product.
She won't be able to pick up a heavy enough load to warp the bucket.
I'm curious how you concluded that.@@TehButterflyEffect
All cutting edges have bolts protruding into the buckets
Wow when i was working as a heavy plant fitter before i retired i would have loved having you as my apprentice 😍😍 great job girl 😁😁👍👍
Great video as always Lucia. If you haven't already pulled the cylinder off and apart, it may be worth you bleeding it in case there is some air in there still. Other than that it will be a piston seal or the o-ring between the piston and ram shaft. Good luck.
I love seeing quality content first thing on a Sunday morning!
You had me at "builds skid steer", but then I saw how smart, capable, AND adorable she is. I subscribed.
I haven't watched this series enough but I'm glad I subscribed. You are awesome 👌
Brilliant work! I do believe the bucket may not be reinforced as well as it should be. The impact of a bucket against rocks or hard pan earth will take its toll on the sides and top. I believe I would look at some significant edge reinforcement. This is a great project to watch. Both the engineering and production is enchanting...
The skid steer isn't heavy enough to worry about bending that bucket. She did fine.
Winter is coming. She will move a lot of snow with it.
Nice to see the progress. Looking good. 😁✌🖖
Well done. I love your happy dance. Great achievement.
A minor setback with that piston. Can't wait to see it full operational and moving some heavy loads around. Nice job with the hydraulics.
You are so talented! Without that plasma cutter, you might still be cutting out all those parts by hand, What a time saver.
Thank you very much! Yes, CNC plasma cutter is one of the best things in my shop ;)
That is quite a project! I thought I took on challenges, but you far surpass anything I have ever done. The machine is very impressive.
Another great vidio, makes my day. U are doing a great job one the build. Thats coming from sombody that builds every thing. Regards from Manitoba.
It is looking great. When you said it was drifting the first thing I suspected was the hydraulic cylinder, glad you found it.
Very impressive work! Your attention to detail is very impressive!!! 👍🏽👍🏽😉
Nice work! Your skid steer is turning out amazing. You have a beautiful mind ❤
As a heavy equipment mechanic this is just amazing, i hope you plan to build a cab and boom arm stabilizer to keep your boom from moving sideways while you’re loaded with the boom up. it’s very important to consider that, as to not roll the machine over on its side.
One step forward, two steps back. At least you found the problem, without having to scrap and redo the whole hydraulic system. I thought it might have been in the proportioning valve, causing the cylinders to leak down. It’s probably bad o-rings in the cylinder, or a crack in the o-ring sleeve.
This is an ambitious project. You have my respect for getting this far and I am sure you'll finish it no problem. And not only that you are making it look easy. You are superior to me and most other people for that matter.
Amazing work, Lucia. Hopefully the cylinder leak is just a bad gasket or something simple. Even leaking, though, I'm sure that steer would move more dirt than either of us could with a shovel. 😅👍
Great project!!!
Obviously you are still in the middle of the project. However, most skid steers have a lot of added weight in the rear end. My Bobcat has about a 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch thick rear door behind the engine, both as an engine cover, as well as a counterweight.
Anyway, it will help a lot once you start using the bucket.
Of course it wouldn't hurt to try it out and see how tippy the skid steer is, and how the traction feels.
Amazing skills and inspiring for all people. Bravo Lucia !!!! ; )
I really like the bucket you built, but I believe it could be beefed up in sections to ensure it lasts
Great work
I love the self sharpening edge / teeth design. Wearing away to reveal a new set of teeth is genius.
That shop is a fabricators dream.With your skills the building of a skid steer looks easy.
Thank you. It only looks so easy, but it's not. Yet possible ;)
Awesome you have wicked skills not to many people can say they built their own skid steer 😊
Nice work Lucia, it turned out wonderful. I am a bit jealous as we are now under several inches of snow for an early winter out my way. I hope all your problem is a by-passing cylinder that should be relatively easy to rectify. Good luck, and cheers!
Thank you! I hope so too :) Cheers!
Excelente soy amante de la fabricación, muchas felicidades por su canal ❤
Шикарный ковш! Классный замок! Наша любимая резка ЧПУ! Цилиндр в ремонт. Классное видео получилось! Мне понравилось! Круто Круто!!!
и у барышни шикарный английский. И съёмки/редактирование видео на отличном уровне. Mad respect.😊
@@AB-pb8oo отличное видео! Мне нравится!
Hi Lucia, you're doing a great job, very talented work👌
You need a hold valve in the hydraulics to stop it loosing pressure & lowering bucket/ lift ext, hope this is helpful.
Look forward to seeing it finished👍🏼
Awesome work. 👍😁
By the time you have built it and ironed out all the problems that come a long you could market the design and maybe even look into manufacturing them...very cool so far
Lucia you are insane! AMAZING.
the leak should be a fairly easy fix once you get the cylinder off the machine again, the progress looks great!
Outstanding work! 👏🏻
I think she is not even aware how crazy impossible it is to build a thingy like that for the first time , and building it with such profession! She could have propperly went to engeneering doing Machinery Diploma! Very talented. I love how she takes on stuff, besides it is scary. maybe a shopdog would help to decompress stressy situations as they always demand potty time or playtime when they sense you need a break! We always think they demand time from us, when in fact, they help us relax and get a good work/play balance in life!
Beautiful build😍😍😍😍😍
What a talented young engineer.
I'm always pleased to see a new video by you. Very enjoyable!
Moving along very well, great to see.
Nice work Lucia! Looking forward to the next episode. Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪
Brilliant job as always, cheers
Looking good!! 👍🏻
