Tip. When draining a unit always remove the fill plug first. If it doesn't come out and you have already drained the unit you are stuck and can't move your machine.
This gentleman beat me to the tip always always make sure you can fill it before removing fluids
Mechanic here, drive it ahead until the drain is on top put in 9.5 of a quart. now you can use it until you have time to mess with the other plug. You would not survive out in the country miles from a repair shop. Think outside the box..
@@jimputnam2044smart man 👏
I’ve always heard this and generally do it this way but I’ve never had one stuck before. I’d be more diligent if I knew I wasn’t the first one to remove it, meaning it could have been cross threaded or over torqued by someone else.
When I used to train new workers. I would tell them: Open the hood.Pull the dipstick. Remove the fill cap. THEN remove the drain plug. Cuz, it’s very hard to turn the vehicle over to put the oil back in….GOT their attention!
Ceramic brake shoes at your next brake change will help with the dust issues
Ceramic brakes do not work well on larger trucks like this super duty. They cannot handle the breaking demands. That’s why a semi metallic pad is still used on these trucks.
One tip for final drive drain. Leave the drain plug out and add 2 oz of oil to wash out the last of the old.
Very good advice!
As well as removing the fill plug 1st as others have mentioned, I also remove the level plug before emptying, to check level before draining, to see if any loss before draining.
Good idea! 👍
Mike you and your Nephew will remember this road trip for a long time. New boots? Also there is nothing quite as enjoyable to me as mowing and edging grass! Love looking back when finished and having a sense of accomplishment!
Already cut grass 6 times plus grilled 3 times here in Ga.....started in Feb., had a nice warming spell. Started new grass last fall, cutting grass twice a week for last 2 weeks. Never got a snowflake this winter. Last snow was 2021.👍
I feel your pain regarding wet soil conditions on your road. I started a road back through my property in February to access some huge aspen trees that had fallen adjacent to my pond. I started spreading sandstone shale on the access to provide a base since limestone prices are out of sight. Then came the heavy rains in western PA as you point out. We can't get enough consecutive dry days to get back on that project. My problem is compounded as the soil is spoil piles, flattened out after the property was stripped back in the 60s. When it rains, the access road turns to soupy mud when I take the skid steer or excavator back to try to work. I too got greedy a while back and got the wheeled skid steer stuck up to the under belly. Fortunately, I was able to rescue the skid steer with the excavator.
I enjoyed the excavator maintenance topics and the subsequent helpful comments provided by other subscribers.
If it doesn't stop raining soon you'll have to use some of that lumber to make an Ark. I also did my first grass cutting today and the lawn looks much better this year due to the mild winter. It great to see Hunter doing so well :)
I am on my third mowing. I think my first mowing was the earliest that I can remember. Been a great spring for grass.
As a firewood nut, I am always interested in what goes into one man’s woodshed and what goes into another man’s burn pit
For example, Mike’s burn pit has a LOT of wood in it I wood cut and stack in my shed
But hey, I’m not processing 100 cords a year like he is!
We are finally having some nice, warm and dry weather. The bad. I havent been able to enjoy it due to long hours at work. Have a great weekend and stay safe everybody
Yes We Have Had Our Share Of Rain Lately Too!! And Now A cool Down!! Thanks For The Heads Up On The Dumb! Dumb! Movie I Won't Bother With It!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
I have found that changing the oil in the final drives of an Excavator more frequently will pay off in the long run. As you said Mike a lot of travel moving those piles of brush is a lot of wear and tare on the drives. One more tip, when the plugs are tight and it's hard to get them loose, a brass punch and hammer, give them a wack and they will undo easily. 40 years as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic, has taught me a lot.
Yes, and they use such a small amount of oil considering the amount of gear action that takes place inside of a planetary. A commonly overlooked maintenance thing.
If you want to ever put a food plot species in, do not put rye grass in. You could put rye grain or oats and that would be a good start. Clover would also be a good place to start as it will fix nitrogen into the soil and come back year after year. It just requires a few mowings a year. You'll want to spray the field with glyphosate then you can broadcast seed right onto that. I have a no-till drill I use to plant corn, radishes, rye grain, and sun flowers but you can get clover growing just broadcasting it onto soil you've sprayed.
I should have explained. Rye grass will come back every year and is very difficult to kill off once it establishes.
Roundup is banned in most countries... ( glyphosate )
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠
Always Mike has the most beautiful assistant ever 🤗🤗🤗
Always enjoy your varied content 👍👍
Just beginning some of the cleanup from our big storm two weeks ago. Lots of tree damage here in NH. Had several days of rain last week too. Very wet spring
Good morning! I enjoyed the video as usual. Mike you are so right. Servicing equipment regularly is so important! Plus having Melissa help you is great! The area you are working on is looking good! Cool video 👍❤️
Cheer up Mike. Fast Ag Montana ( Tony Fast ) 100 foot air seeder has 950 grease fitting on it.
Here in Missouri it has to be the most windiest year since we've lived here, which has only been 3 years. I'm not talking about 10 to 20 miles an hour, more like up to 40 miles an hour. It's been pretty warm too! Up in the high 80's. Right now I'm dealing with shingles again and I even have had the shots.
I bet your firewood’s dryin nice👍🏻
The mud in my cow pasture was "almost" dry until yesterday lol I left ruts a foot deep too taking a round bale into the pasture for the cows.
A chipper that wiil handle your brush and logs up to 15" while not inexpensive will always maintain it's value if maintained is good for your land's soil and creats a product for your customers that is in demand when accompanied with delivery. Something about chipping a log and or brush is memorizing and fun while helping your land, enviroment, and increasing sales. To me this fits in with your operation in that none of the capital equipment you have is fully utilized but demonstrates what is possible as DIY. Ray
Don't watch TV, daytime TV in particular. I recommend it.
I really like having a chipper for road building, etc. I can take care of most of the brush except for larger pine trunks-hardwood gets turned into heat 🔥❗️Thanks Mike-too much fun.
Mud. Here at Ruch City MN, except for three weeks in Jan. we've had the equivalent of spring mud the entire winter. Now everytime it rains the drying process has to start over. I wonder if our clay soil will ever firm up.
Good morning y'all from British Columbia !!! Have a great day.
My wife has always enjoyed watching the Price is Right. A few weeks ago she and two friends went to LA (Glendale) from North Carolina to be on the show. They were in the audience for two shows, but did not get called down. They really had a good time.
Just a thought. Buckwheat on the outer edge. Red and white clover mixed with the rye. Deer and Turkey's will love you. Looks great.
Change your brake pads to a Ceramic, kevlar pad, it will stop better and very little dust
Good morning The Morgans! I’ve have been a customer at Romney Cycles for many years. I’ve been very satisfied.
Next time you grease your ring bearing open the front window. Put your grease gun on the floor and connect to the nearest zerk. Sit in the seat and swing the machine while your pulling the trigger on the grease gun. You will get better coverage, more apt to push any water out and it’s just a lot easier.
Can’t believe you are mowing already. I’m still a couple weeks away up here in upstate NY. We haven’t had near the rain you folks have.
My Diamond Plate truck cover got delivered yesterday. Estes motor freight driver was great and friendly 👍. Install easy - love it. Your fellow retired blaster friend from the southern Illinois coal mines.👍👌🇺🇸💪
Nice! What truck is it going on

Good morning Mike,Melissa and Hunter. Definitely go to ceramic brake pads. A little more pricey but worth it. Also they stop better. Have a day.
Ferris makes a really great mower, you gotta love there suspension and the suspension seat 👍 Love watching your videos... Wish you could send some of that rain to Missouri, we are extremely dry and keep missing rains 🤦
Gotta compliment you on your equipment maintenance that we see periodically !! Mike, that's why you don't seem to have many, if any, breakdowns. You certainly keep ALL your equipment well serviced and clean !! And that's why your "stuff" always looks new !! I hope other viewers notice that and copy your example !! Say "Hi" to Hunter and your daughters !! Good to see Melissa again she's obviously been busy lately !! Have a day !!
It is all new stuff!!!!
A banger of a video. Just everything came together. I love the moderation. WOW what a hole. Great job. Morgan I don't know how you do it, but keep up the great work.
I cut the grass last week for the first time this year, weed and feeded it Monday, needs to be cut again in a couple days! Your's is looking good!
Mike, pick up a gallon of super clean and spray your rims with it before you wash your truck. It will take the brake dust off and make your white letters on your tires whiter!
Good morning Morgan’s. My 2015 has the same problem with brake dust. It’s fixable if you use another type of brake pad, but those pads don’t give you the same quality of stopping power.
On your Allen socket what I do is magnetize it that way is less of a chance of you dropping the bolt that you’re removing just an idea
I always chuckle on the things that get on guys like us nerves. My last pickup, Ford, front tires would be covered with break dust after a couple miles. I was constantly cleaning them because if I didn't it would cake on like concrete. My new truck, Ford, doesn't do this and all my family and friends are thrilled not having to hear my griping and complaining about break dust. Thanks for the great videos
Lol, you are right though it does turn into like concrete
For the brake dust issue, keep the engine brake on at all times and drive in tow haul. Its good for the engine and a great save on brakes.
That what I been waiting for so rain because, I been burning our garage roof we tore down garage because cinder blocks were leaning bad. I have one load left to burned. And then to cleaning up cinder blocks THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸and family and friends , happy Purrrsday everyone 😸😺
There is always something to do if you want to do it. Things are coming together for you. Excited.
With the rain you have had, the road looks great considering no stone yet.
Yea a couple washes here and there but held up surprisingly well
Just think haw much there would be in that mud, if you didn't get all that done over winter ! Winter was good to you !
Yes, the OEM pads make a big mess. I've heard some switch out to Power Stop pads and claim little to no brake dust
A different brake pad will solve the dusting problem and I think they make one in ceramic that will suit your heavier duty needs
You should watch "New age custom Farming" They built a 10 foot rake for their excavator. Looks like they used 1 inch steel. Quite the rake.
Great job on getting your final drives changed. Sorry Melissa didnt get on the "Price Is Right" that would have been pretty cool.
Coming along real nice Mike. Beautiful clearing area, lots of wild life, seemingly they like the Rye grace a lot, and it grows well. Is it helping with the Weird Japanese grass? ❤💯🙏
A mechanic told me the amount of brake dust is a reflection of the quality of the pads. Cheap==More Dust.

Fix Or Repair Daily
@@davidmorse8432 First on Race Day……well sometimes lol
Your yard is beautiful!! Do you still plan to install a pool?
Your grass clippings will make nice additive for your compost pile.
A buddy of mine set his dried-up yard on fire and burned all the grass burning up all the Japanese grass seeds as well following year there was no Japanese grass.
Good to see you using the cordless grease gun. Worked in the auto repair field for 43 years and HATED those hand pump/lever guns. Have you considered the lock and lube attachment? Another game changer-no wiggling the coupler to remove it.
Maybe it would be handy to haul a trailer down and use it to reduce the runs back and forth. Might be instructive on the state of the road as well.
You are living the dream my friend. Nice land. Nice trucks. Nice buildings.😊
Happy for you that Stihl is furnishing you with a mower, but for me,seeing that rebranded Ferris/Simplicity mower, reminds me that that is part of the reason my 1 year old Simplicity zero turn was discontinued. They decided they could make more money making them for Stihl.
Mike i love my engine brake feature on the superduty, just like a big rig jake brake,helps save the brakes too!!
Same here, I use it all the time when towing which is why I can't figure out why I get so much brake dust lol
There are sets of wheel dust diviters that easily install between the hub and wheel look like deformed frisbees with holes for studs and keep almost all brake dust off the rims that are made here from stamped aluminum and can be found with search, not very expensive and you will wonder why cars do no come equiped with this device from factory. Ray
Mike on the brake dust go with Power Stop Xtreme rotor and pad kit and there will be no brake dust and you will have even better brakes, you can just go with the pads but it’s better to use there rotors
Did you see if they make brake dust shields for your truck? I had them on a 2005 Ram and kept all 4 rims super clean. clean.
Nice new boots Mike, I just mowed my yard today for the 3rd time. Bluefield wv
If you want to eliminate your brake dust by a GM truck. They FNC their brakes that reduces brake dust and wear.
Your grocery getter F150 had FNC brakes.
Melissa, my wife enjoys Price is Right, watches it almost daily. Kinda like me watching Outdoors with the Morgan’s!
Hello Mike, Great video and glad Melissa was able to go to see the price is right.
I would hope on a new machine with only 50hrs, you should not have any problems removing any of the maintenance plugs to change your oil.. on older equipment I understand it's best to work from the top down, to make sure you can refill it and to check current level before draining.
Everyone within a 5 state area was mowing the other day!
I'm encouraged to see another with similar thoughts on so many topics...
If you can, would you please let me know the pressure washer you used to wash your car...thanks
I hope that you didn't have any issues with the storms that you had last night.
It was ugly, no damage that I see around the house, haven’t ventured out to far yet though into the woods
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans I hope that you don't have any issues. I was watching it on the weather Channel.
Goodmorning. I had the same problem with my jeep. Brake dust. It's the Brake shoes
Are not backing off properly. They put grease on the Brake shoe holder witch in returns stops the shoes from Going back properly also Collects dust which also.
Stop the shoes from seating properly.
GOOOOOOOD
MAAAAAAAAWNIN
EVERYONE on this gorgeous morning here in the low country (Blackwater) of Virginia Beach!!….I had been wondering with your flooding rains up in the BURG areas how yinz been fairing. That low spot on the Morgan Highway that needs a culvert pipe & the pond damn.
Anyways, great seeing Melissa & Hunter 😁😁
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
I’ve had my fourth mowing here in south east Alabama. Worst pollen season ever.
Only recent viewing of PIR was when my brother was on the show a couple years ago. He was called up right near the end of air time so didn't get much of a chance. Met Drew Cary though.
I ordered a Rapid Red F450 Lariat yesterday. I imagine I am in for a long wait. It is replacing my 2011 F250 diesel or 5th wheel hauling duty.
Put some ceramic brake pads on it instead of those metal pads then you donnt get that break dust.
I to like bob you have a nice operation going and it’s good to see you and your family enjoying life . 😊 take care and enjoy your day 😊
Michael, I like your narration as you clear the slash. Music is fine, and is your go-to, but the narration was a nice change.
SOO. Sad, That brush pile would heat my House for several Years...
Thanks Mike.
Bring a tractor trailer with dump trailer and i will give it to you, Stumps included
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans I am exactly 670 miles from Your Place, Yes I found it LOL If I lived closer I'd be all over that.
Thanks Mike.
Hi Mike, if you change your disc pads with ceramics, no more dust
Get some wax on that beautiful truck before you get damage in the paint. Dump truck order should be in soon!
Good Morning Mike et'all..... rain again in Ontario, oh well it is spring!
Pete 🇨🇦
Good morning Pete 😸😺
Hi Pete!
@@badcat4707Morning BadCat, is it raining in Montreal?
@@davidmorse8432Morning David.... inside stuff today....
@@peteatthefarm4459 / not at the moment , might not at all for today ?
I bought a new Corvette in 2010. Drove home from the dealership (50 miles) brand new car. The brake dust was THICK on both the front and rear pads. I actually thought something was wrong with the brakes! I immediately ordered some PowerStop pads. Problem solved! Pads make a difference.
You probably already know about this Mike, using straw for erosion control and soaking up wetlands. I haven't seen you use it yet but here in NW Washington State, we probably have more rain on average than y'all get there. Maybe that sawdust could have a purpose too? Love that you are back working heavy equipment in your field again. That movie, Civil War gave us the same feelings as you, social experiment.
Just saying that you know that there's a cover that goes between the rum and brake rotor to keep the brake dust off the rims
Mike,they have wheel well liners for the truck bed, just saying.
Went to a Price is right taping 19 years ago. It was great fun Bob was the best, although I like Drew also.
Hi Morgan's when you greased the swing gear. I'd never heard that term. I'm from Scotland and we call it a slew ring. The act of swinging left or right is known slewing here. Another great video glad to see Melissa in this one. Blessings 🏴
Hi Mike, thanks for the tip on the movie "Civil War" as it will save me from going. When it comes time for brake pads on the Ford try the ceramic pads as someone mentioned. before. You will still get some dust but not near as bad as you are getting now and they don't fade during heavy braking. I've been using them on my "04 Silverado for a while now.
Hey Mike, did you get those trucks undercoat? Fennel in butler does a great job. Highly recommend
Thanks
I still watch the old price is right with my man bob barker. Love it.
lol, I liked Castaway!
I’ve got a stihl br600 backpack for small residential have had nothing but issues will never by another stihl product again
I think it’s cool when you narrate after the fact. 👍🏻👍🏻
Spreading the ash over the field and I till in as much of that saw dust every year as you can for biomass
Ceramic pads and never put after market wheels on the truck. Brake dust washes right off if you stay on it and you do.
You want to have no break dust. This is what you need they are a little pricey ceramic break pads I have a Ranger XLT 2009 original owner and I am coming up on my third set. No dust and better breaking ❤😊
Japanese stilt grass doesn't seem to like full sun. But I use a product called remedy
