This part I'm changing out the pins and bushings on my Kubota miniexcavator and trying to fix the leaking radiator. #Minimachines #Newpins #Excavatorrepair
Love the opening music as you disassemble the machine. Just need Hayde singing along. Love their music. Excellent Norwegian Blue grass. Great job by the way. Thanks
Solderweld makes an Aluminum Repair Kit that we use in the Heating and Air Conditioning industry. We use them to Repair Micro Channel Condenser Coils which operate and hundreds of PSI. Should work well for your radiator which is well under those pressures. If it where to happen again that is. Either way nice Job👍
You got really lucky with those bushings, I thought you would have to press some of them out. Keep the old rad for a spare, just cut the tube in half where it is leaking and roll back the ends a couple of times and pinch with vise-grips. This should stop the tube from leaking and still have enough cooling from the rad. That mini is going to be like new when you are finished. Good job!
Yes those bushings was a dream to get out. Yes that might had worked here also, I had it fixed with some leak stop stuff earlier but now it had started to leak again.
I only tried pressure washing a radiator one time. Luckily it was on a parts car as the force of the pressure washer folded all the aluminum zig zags over by the large and would have cut off the air flow and cooling substantially. I was washing the rest of the car and did not really think about the radiator just giving it a once over. Lesson learned. Some of the heavy duty commercial styles are built with heavier gauge fins and will hold up better.
Pity about the rad. A friend of mine used fibre glass to seal a hole in a rad before. I didn't believe it would work but there were no problems after. Chemical metal or the likes might of done too. It's all a gamble though 😄
Yes I thought about it and I had it fixed before with some leak stop but now it was leaking again. I could probably gotten it fixed soon how but I also wanted to do it right since I put so much work and money into this little one now.
Don't give up on the rad. Cut the one channel ths is leaking and fold both ends back on it's self. . Build a form around the two bent ends. Fill the cavity with jb weld so both ends are incased it the epoxy material. This will fix the rad.
Very good contents on the video i like the repair work, one thing that would make it better is if the camera would be in a tripod more often. I know its hard to film and do the work, keep up the good work.
Thanks. Yes I saw it in edit that the camera work was terrible 😔 Will for sure try to do it better in the future, actually bought A new tripod after this so 😊
Vi som ikkje e mekanikere savner videoer der du jobber......jobbvideoer :) Lage vei, mur osv er konge. Håper det kommer snart.....God Påske på etterskudd 😂
Biltema has some "universal" ones that can be made to fit just about anything, but I 'spose the closest one is in Tromsø, so still not to easy to get :P
Jag lagade en ac kondensor med flytande kemisk metall på en volvo hjulgrävare provisoriskt i felsökningssyfte åt en vän för 10 år sedan, han kör den fortfarande med fungerande ac 😂 och den är det 10 bar tryck i så det verkar täta bra 😬

Yes it was a nice tune, I don't remember the artist, I use a website where I buy licensed music so I have some for my channel.
Thanks 😊

I was around town searching for something that could solder aluminium but there was nothing to find in this town 😔
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Thanks for watching 😀

those bushings came out so easy due to good maintenance for sure. with no grease they would distort and make it difficult to remove
Yes I've changed some before that I needed to weld to get out
Great work brother 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes that's a good possibility that it will happened, luckily this one hold up just great, but that wasn't the problem with it on the end...
great work! you made that look easy! guess i really should do the same on my kubota
It was actually a really nice job, and the machine is not to recognize now, so it's recommended

Great video! If you need high-quality Italian bushings straight from a manufacturer, give us a shout.😊

I have repaired a radiator before by removing the entire damaged water tube and plug it off where it connects at each end.
I was thinking about that, but was a bit of job to get the ends of so figured out a new one was better.
Throw the bushings in the freezer before you install them. Big Jim
Yes that helps a lot but you will see in the next part that with my tool it was no problem getting them in 😉
No radiator repair shops where you live?
No, and labor is so expensive here in Norway that most of the time a new one is cheaper
How much did you spend on all the pins and bushings?
I paid about $1600 for all plus vat so not too bad

Hei, ja blei litt mange reperasjoner på rad nå dessverre, var mye video med Kubotaen 😊 siste nå også er det gravevideo neste 😉
Funny how mutch we find so mutch more leaking or broke .when we get into a project !
I thought it was enough 😅

Ja det kunne nok ha fungert 😏 dumt jeg ikke tenkte på å prøve det 🙄
Rads are pretty hard to fix, yes.
I had good luck with fixing copper ones before this was the first one of aluminum I've ever had my hands one. Not the same as copper 😏
Hi,
Do you know if we can increase oil flow on this digger?
Are you thinking for the aux lines? Or the whole machine?
Hello. Could you please specify where Aux should be connected for hammer?
Where did you get all the parts
