For about $40 bucks you can buy a Bluetooth endoscope. Small pencil size video camera that you can wireless to your phone. You can poke it in to tiny holes and around corners to see what’s going on. Handy little thing. Might need crows foot wrench to get some of them hydraulic fittings. Good luck!
I just did one of these hydraulic repairs on my friend's deere 328, It involved removing all the lines and using electrolysis to remove the rust. On my old Bobs I will remove the engine and hydraulics and replace any old lines with new lines I make myself. Then again I can make up any hose I want with my own crimper. The lines in your machine must have poor quality steel because I normWhen I work on skid steers I just remove all the lines above what I need to replace. ally only see this damage in a 20 year plus machine. You can braze over pinhole rust on hydraulic lines. The more you take out the easier the repair will be.
Good luck! I hate working on skid steers and mini excavators. Everything is stacked or buried where you can't get to it without tearing the whole machine apart.
I have a Case SR 200 skid steer and had the same problem though i got the hose doctor out to the farm and installed with hydraulic hose in the area where it rusted out - it should not be a problem now when it gets caked in dust and mud..
Absolutely paper shop manual is the way to go. So much easier. I have that same philosophy with repairs. I will give it a try and can always call the professionals in after.
Hi Donnie, On your SV280 skid steer, is the oil filter the way to drain your oil on your machine? You should make a video since this video was very good. Great job!!
Living in Minnesota we have a huge salt problem. Anytime is snows the state uses pretreat and lots of salt. Could that machine have been used by a snowplow contractor at one time? Maybe a rental from new?
A vast majority of things with an engine in them are not designed in a way to simplify service and repairs. Years ago I delivered for Napa and once in a while a shop would request that I deliver parts that they ordered. I’d arrive and since I had long skinny arms and hands the mechanic would ask if I could reach down between the engine and frame and retrieve that wrench which I did a few times. Thankfully none of them was with a hot engine I could burn myself on.
Funny you say that - when I opened up the cover on this machine, the first thing I found was a 17mm wrench that the previous owner had lost I assume. Guess you were not delivering parts to him when he dropped it lol
Get a product called por-15. Use this and paint the lines before you install them. I have done this on loaders that are in higher mud/ slop all of the time. I have done it on oil pans and tubeless and oil coolers with great success. Just Fyi..
Unfortunately machines break down almost every time you use them it seems when ever the temp is below 40 degrees ! If you can’t fix them your self you better have a wheelbarrow full of 100 dollar bills !
i have a 1994 L785 New holland...never let me down..never did not start easy to fix no computers had only three hoses changed 6800 hours sat out in weather 90% of its life ..I sold my new POS bobcat and kept old New Holland. Will keep it forever. Salt is a killer of all machines.

I've always liked how they build a skidsteer around the hoses 😂. Good luck and hope you get done yourself and save some money
Gotta like your determination , you'll get it done , you've proved numerous times that you're quite handy.
Got 'er done! Video coming.
Wow that really sucks. Sorry to hear.
Some 1/2 inch drive crows foot wrenches will be your best friend working on skid loaders.
I borrowed some for this project. Just ordered a set of my own for future projects.

I'm new to the skid steer scene but learning quickly
@@FarmerMD all you can do. I lose my patients working on them🤣it will be an experience for you. Hope you have a lot of adult beverages...
I got this job done on less than a box of wine! Video of the repair coming soon.
@@FarmerMD glad it went good for you. lol half of a box you did awesome
I love how nobody is mentioning that the forks are still attached and that its a safety hazard to be working under them.
You can do it the right tools & patience Good Luck?

Amen on the paper manual.
You need a set of crows foot line wrenches and closed end crows foot wrenches.
When getting hoses, make sure the one hose is 3000 psi rated or above.
Just ordered a set of crows feet. Borrowed a set to get this project completed.
Hello seems to me you need to know exactly were the oil is coming from. Hope all works out for you. Have a good day.
It makes me want to pull the panels off and spray everything with fluid film when my new one comes in.
Good luck working on your skidsteer.
Thx. Repair video coming.
Best of luck with it Donnie. I know that will not be fun
It was not as bad as I thought. Video coming.
Hi Donnie,

No I don't think the oil filter drains the engine oil, but good question.
Should be under warranty??

Doesn't look bad enough to have been in salt. Other than these 2 lines, very little rust that I can see.
If your trying to find the wet spot you need to put the legs in the air not the arm's
LMAO - when I made that statement, I knew someone would have something to say - you did not disappoint! Thx for watching
Can you use a cut wheel and create additional access holes. I've had to do that before.
That was an option but did not have to do that with this job.
no warranty on used equipment?
we have 1 year in germany.
Not that way here. At least not with this deal.
Hi Donnie I was wondering if you have made a decision on weather you are going to run for public office?
Haven't decided yet. Talked to a county commissioner a couple days ago about it.
if u need to use the gas axe a fire blanket. get a good 1 from miller

They would just order some random parts. This happened multiple times and yes I’d reach in for the part or the tool.

Have you checked with your daughter if you can use the shop?
LOL I did not, but she is about to get moved to another building since the tenants have moved out. I need my shop back!
Isn't 24mm the same as 15/16" ??
According to google, 24mm is 1 inch. ??? I don't know Thanks

look into trading that off on a melroe.they invented skidsteers.and buy a melroe spra-coupe while u r at it.
I think you have your job cut out for you, you will get it done.
Project done. Video coming in the next day.
i told u to buy a melroe.no metric.i thought u bought a new skidsteer
