    So there is brake oil, final drive oil and axle oil? I missed how the 3 are sealed from each other. Are the wheel bearings in final drive oil?

    • @KT3406E
      @KT3406E  Год назад +147

      There is hydraulic oil and gear oil (Cat TDTO). The finals and bearings run in the TDTO, and the brake housing is full of hydraulic oil. They are sealed apart from each other by the inner duo cone seal, which can be seen in the video where I have the replacement hub laying on the bench in the shop.

      @@KT3406E Thanks for replying.
      I re-watched from about 12 min to 17 min and finally figured it out. It looks like there is nothing to seal around the shaft from the differential to the final drive, correct? I guess on a side hill some oil can move to the low side, but the high side is still going to have a fair amount of oil trapped below the level of the inside of the axel housing.
      Losing the inner seal sure would suck. All of the hydraulic oil would flood the axle. Kind of like oil certain injector seal failures that fill the crankcase with diesel.

With that said, this is one of best, most interesting, satisfying and fun videos on the internet. To answer your question of "Pretty, ain't it?". Yeah. It really is. Absolutely awesome.

      Doctor ,
      Hint when you take the wheel nuts / lugs of the tyre , use the power in your legs to " break the beading seal of the nuts / lugs on the tyre , rim "
      Eg . Put nut / lugs wrench on at an angle so that you can push it with your foot , leg ..... not with arms , back etc .
      Becareful not to slip over ( put a hand on the vehicle to steady your self )
      There is a lot more power in your legs of course , than the back strain , fatigue of the arms .
      Thanks for reading
      I hope this helps others too

    I am a still working heavy equipment mechanic. I have worked on many Cat 725s, 730s and 745 haul trucks. Have torn down many final drives to replace duo-cone seals, and you are absolutely correct about the lug nuts. So important that those nuts are torqued to the correct spec. Guessing with a powerful impact is not any way to do it. If the nuts are not tightened to the correct and equal torque you are headed for a huge costly breakdown.

After a five minute conversation,my problem was over.Accepted their apologies and they sent a haul trk

    I know absolutely nothing about this equipment…oddly it’s like hanging out with a great teacher whom shares a cool story…if you pay close attention there are nuggets to learn that cross over …so much respect

    This is the first video I've watched from you and I must say the quality and the educative value are top notch. I'm not at all in the heavy equipment business, but I just wanted to know how these geared hubs are made. I couldn't have found any better video than this one. Thanks! 👍
    For someone who "doesn't know what you're doing", you easily surpass many "experts" in the field.
    Also the humorous mocking of the damn youtube safety freaks was hilarious. 🤣

    superb video, perfect for your audience , we used to have issues with safety people on the sites, in Ireland the site manager used to take the safety rep to the pub each evening so we could get all the dodgy stuff done with no one watching

    I appreciate your videos. I enjoy the way you make your videos, the shooting, narration, and editing. As a retired Owner/Operator, I enjoyed working on my equipment as much or more than operating. (except when it's broke on a Friday night, 50 miles from anywhere, in the mud, while it's raining). Thanks very much. Regards.

    As you can see, a lot of people love your videos, brother. I was going through a lot of personal ish about a year ago and it became hard for me to sleep. I came across your videos and it gave me something to watch before bed and I started to get some sound sleep watching something that I’ve always enjoyed. It’s amazing how life can turn around when you get a full nights rest. So thanks man. Keep ‘em coming.

    I used to work on trucks like this and did brake replacements on these along with the usual crap of fixing what gets broken, it's a big enough job to do all 6 wheels. Now I look after the tools that bolt these axles diffs and hubs together in the factory so it's cool to see what's not really changed in the hubs.
    Man your sense of humour is great. Only just found your channel over the last few days and you have always given me some nugget of dry humour that's made me choke on my coffee! Cheers from northern Ireland

    I just finished my 2nd week at Ryder as an in training mechanic and by far have learned way more in just this video, not including all your others I've watched numerous times than I could hope to at my job that pays $22 an hour. I'd up and move to work for free just to learn and experience all the awesome show you do, and help post more videos more often.

    Man, your stuff is hella entertaining, keep up the great work. I don't turn wrenches much personally, but I was in dealer automotive and heavy duty parts for 18 years, with half of them in Cat and Cummins on-highway. It's amazing to see this stuff broken down and (occasionally) put back together, and your sometimes unconventional approaches are really cool. I've known far too many Cat mechanics that are all kinds of stuck up their own asses, and your no-nonsense yet highly effective approach coupled with a little dry humour is really cool to watch.

    Another world class heavy equipment mechanic video! You are definitely a first class mechanic to say the least. Best part of the video was the zip tie on the snap ring. I know for a fact that Zip Ties and Bias Plies would've been awful proud of you to see you using that for that application. It worked well as any other tool you could've bought to do the same thing. There's always more than one tool for the job. Keep up the great work and really appreciate you sharing this video with us. If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing done the right way first time.👌👍

    • @luviskol

      I work in areas with heavy mixing machinery. The guys always have a big bag of zip ties just in case. They're one of the tools that keep industry going

    It's always a treat to watch your content.
    About doubt: I appreciate your commentary and for me (probably for many others as well) good content is good content. I'll rather have this type of content in my head than many other "type of things". Will I ever work on vehicle such as this one? probably not - but I always pick up a trick or two.
    I also get to use the tricks at a later unforeseen date.
    Thanks.
