Nice job Jake and Chris! Im digging the rock wall. Pun intended. Looks like the new MACHINE was a good addition.
Haha thanks dude! Loving it so far!
Great job Guys!! Y'all are naturals at all the task and equipment Y'all run!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Getting much better and smoother with the excavator controls. Great compilation video, showing the progress. Most importantly, they'll stop driving on your lawn when it's done!! 😄
Thanks! I appreciate it!
For someone that says you don't have that much experience doing excavation work, it looks great and will look even better when you get the lillings for it! Nice job Jake!
Thank you George!
I had the same problem with a few of the fittings on my machine too. I found that if I move the stick/boom around a little it would take grease. I think that in some positions the pressure on the pin is just enough to keep the grease from being able to get in. For one of them, I had to use a grease breaker and tap a solvent into it to break up the clog. Good job with the machine. The lot looks great!
Yeah I tried moving them around and banging in and out. I have. Grease zerk buster so I’ll have to try that next time
Nice work! You are hooked and addicted now on the excavator!
Sure am! I use it for everything!
You’re getting pretty good at running that sweet machine. Also Chris is getting pretty good as well. Take care guys.
Thanks buddy! Hope to see you guys soon!
Hey fellows, that will be a nice spot to pull off and buy some firewood. If you remove that boom pin and soak it in brake cleaner when ran an metal coat hanger or insulation push rod through the drilled holes should fit the bill. Great day to ya both👍👍
Thanks! Was a bit nervous removing the entire pin it’s going to be going to my buddies shop for some work soon and he’s going to take care of it.
Sometimes you can put some heat on the pin to loosen up the grease, i try and grease my machines daily to avoid that
Sometime you need to move the boom to get it to take grease.
Nice work, looks great 👍🏼
Thanks buddy!
You need a GREASE FITTING UNBLOCKER
I have one! Totally forgot about it lol 😂
As a new excavator owner myself, I think the wall looks great! More seat time is the cure in my case... I'd love to have some of those rocks on my property.
Thank you!
Great job. The mini excavator is an awesome tool. I certainly love mine. New subscriber.
Thanks for checking out the channel!
Jake looks great 👍 for the new spot for the firewood stand no more people on the lawn 😮😊❤
Exactly!!
You're doing great . I run heavy equipment all day every single day and I have my whole life . There is no Magix training course or school that will make you a great operator.... the only way to get there Is years and years and thousands of hours but some people just don't have it and never will . You "get it " and will continue to get better and better
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
Looking good 👍
I think most of those grease fittings are BST british standard taper...neither metric nor sae...they are their own animal. Just didnt want you to shove a 1/4-28 zerk in there and gouge the threads on your new to you machine.
Hmm that could be the case, some felt to thread in easily others not so much…Baffles me as to why a Japanese company would manufacture excavators in Japan and use a British thread 🤦🏼♂️
From tree service guy to firewood guy to landscaper extraordinaire guy..
lol I’m a real Jake of all trades 🤣
Hello Jake and Chris, nice work. Great Teamwork 👏🤘🏻🪵🇺🇸
Thank you!
Sometimes, the sleeve for the pin that has the channel for the grease to ho thru gets rotated blocking grease from being able to take. Pull your zero and look in the hole that there's a channel for the grease to flow
I’ll have to look!
For not being a professional (your words) I think you are doing very well, looks great 👍 Good job also on getting on top of the maintenance issues you have inherited with the excavator. Better to tackle them now, because the longer it takes to "get around" to them, the more expensive they'll become. Good video 😊
Thanks! And yes I agree, trying to sort out all the small issues right away
Awesome job man … doesn’t it feel good when you do home improvements? Looks way better and a better area for cars to pull over for wood ….23:54 nice rip haha
It certainly does feel good!
Jake & Chris you guys are rock stars. Great video & amazing machine.
Thanks so much!
Rock wall looks great jake. All that came together pretty well.
Thank you!
It looks like the pin may be in a a little bit of a bind. Just wiggle it around a little bit and it should take grease.
I did that, didn’t work. Will try my grease buster
All those big rocks could probab;y be broken into "Brick like" objects with a drill and feather wedges. Give you a rustic look boundary fence for your driveway,
I’m pretty content with using them as a boulder wall like I did! Now that the rain has washed off most of the dirt they look pretty good!
Nice job guy's all nice equipment ! That international hook lift us SWEET!!!!!!!! Roughly what part of Ct are you in?
Bob
Thanks! I love that truck. I am in northern Fairfield county.
you need a grease buster for that clogged fitting
I have one, I’ll try that !
Nice job. I had the same issue with one of my tractor fittings. The grease turns hard and if dirt makes it’s way in the internal hole it gets clog. I removed the fitting and sprayed some degreaser and let it seat for a while and then took my power washer and sprayed the hole and the surrounding metal bushing as well….and it worked without having to take the bushing out. Hope you had fun in Florida.
I’ll try that! Having a great time, went scuba diving for shark teeth today.
You need a bigger bucket for that machine
I’ve seen some guys run 36”
Garmin watch? What’s your name on the connect app? We can be buddies lol
Yep Garmin instinct
Wich is easier to put the track back on? Skid or excavator?
I’d say excavator simply because it can easily raise itself up off the ground
What you were doing is the best way to learn how to operate the excavator. It's your own job so you can take you time and if you make a little mistake on big deal. I drove a dump truck and we got a full size Case to mine fire clay. First time I ran it I look like Rainman on ice skates. lol. As for the grease problem, sound like it is pluged with dried grease. Take the fitting out and dig it out and put some penetrating oil or parts cleaner in it then try it. We have heated the pin with a torch to melt the old grease. Or just take the pin out dig all the old grease out and run new grease in it before you put it back.
Thanks for the tip I’ll try that
What is that unit on the back of your dump trailer?
It’s a custom built log arch I made!

@@DudeRanchDIY that is amazing great job
Good morning Jake, all you need is Seat time and you will eventually become proficient. You gotta start somewhere. I’ll compare to the first time someone has sex. You get much better with experience lol. Even excavators need a lube job every now and then. Maintaining your equipment is always in your best interest to prolong its lifespan.
Cheers Woody !!!
Lubing up first always makes it easier, practice makes perfect 😂
