MAJOR Excavator Upgrade (2018 CASE CX80)

This old girl would be a nice addition
cant wait to see the new house lot get cleared off!!!!
My precious!!!!
@@warrenmichael918am thinking the same !!
BSP british standard pipe fitting. Keith England..
I give Matt a lot of credit for not only laying out his job, figuring how to plumb the hydraulic lines but also describing for the viewers, every step he takes. He makes it look simple but it is quite an undertaking. Great mechanic with a fantastic attitude.
Many thanks!!
Great job Matt. A thumb comes in very handy for all sorts
Hydraulics are seriously simple. They are just levers. Pushing and pulling levers.
Hydro-engineering is complicated, but luckily that's all done for you!
An emoji 👍, for a hydraulic thumb well done!
All that, also messing around with cameras and their angles, sometimes in very tight spaces difficult to film. Then the editing! Real professional 👍
That trick of using a hot bolt to round out the cut in plastic was brilliant. Never seen that before 🇨🇦
I try to think outside the box lol 🤷🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek Only thing I think about is trying to get in some box.
works great on carpet too. Lay out the new carpet in your car/truck, find your seat-belt holes with an awl, heat up a punch and melt through. Vice grip garage trick
Ain't no slop IN THAT connectio!
I love that is where your head is at! You'll get plenty of boxes, just visualize like most successful people 😂@williambryant5946
I have to say, I truly appreciate the reasonably cleanliness of your shop. Being a one man show, that in of itself is a major accomplishment.
I spend at least 1-2 days a week just cleaning and organizing
The previous owner of my house had the added bonus of the owner previous to him (with age related declining mental health) wandering over and tidying up the garage on a regular basis. Imagine walking into your garage and the mess you left beind a couple of days ago is all cleaned up and all of your tools put back where they belong. Now is that a handy perk or what?
@@AutoCrete I’d pay for that service 😂
What? To clean ? 😂
@@DieselCreek The only bad part would be if you were not done you’d have to get stuff back out and hope nothing got thrown away🤭.
❤You’re doing an awesome job Matt.
Matt, there are some of us old-timers out here, riddled with arthritis, for whom every little movement means pain. BUT! We get to watch YOU. Go ahead and do what we can't. I'll watch every minute of it. Thank you.
Out of all 150 channels I watch this one got to be the best one in the group.
wow thanks!!
@@DieselCreek Two necessities for an excavator, a D4 catepiller and an accompanying F350 with a cummins with Duallies!!!
I agree.
Diesel creek first and as much as i love VGG it comes in second for me.
For me it's right next to "Watch Wes work" and "Marty T", they all post about once a week so between the 3 of them I can enjoy a nice machinery tinkering video every couple of days.
Has ANYbody seen a happier guy on youtube?? Even after the rip off by the utility company.
What a way to enjoy a Sunday afternnoon. Watching Diesel Creek. Thanks, Matt!!
I know for sure it scratch my head off for such a rip off 😫😤😅 wouldn’t be able to keep calm about it at all. All props to him for keeping the calm! 😎🙌🏻
Matt, showing the who step-by-step upgrade procedure is a totally first rate presentation. Thanks! Really great edting, too.
Love that thumb. I would however suggest a manual shut off where you teed into the auxiliary line so you can still use other auxiliary equipment. As you are set up you would be feeding two things at the same time. Great work and a nice piece of kit though.
This confused me as well. I though the thumb would just plumb directly into the aux. Would you ever need the thumb and the aux working at the same time? If you connected an aux now would both it and the thumb work at the same time? very confused
I wondered the same thing and figured he'd just tie the thumb open, or pin it if there are holes for that.
8:20 "It's like industrial-grade chistmas" - another memorable Diesel Creek quote. Had a good laugh on that. Thanks for sharing !
Grinding without glasses,only thing I seen you should have used. Just a reminder
Gotta start making a list of all them! Lol
love the custom logo for the attachments
Did WB laser those out or did Matt send them, I wonder?
Look at Matt go!!!! That was slicker than a ribbon, Matt, the way you snatched up that bucket with the coupler!!
@@dcviper985WB burnt them out
I appreciate that you paint your welds. Can't get a GC to do that to save my life despite construction drawings and specs
Matt... a tip.. if you are welding under the hydraulic rams, wrap the piston rod with tape or rags to prevent any weld splatter damaging the rod and messing up the seals.. 😊
Great tip! I do this too or coat it with grease that you can wipe off afterwards. Whichever is most readily available. Lol
Magic in start. Auotocar with frontfenders, when the digger enters the shop. Next frame, when digger comes around the Autocar, fenders are placed on a pallet. That Matt is truly an amazing man with many skills!!!
I didn’t even notice that myself 😂
And in the first shot, the old parts cleaner was there... Next shot the new one was installed!
Yeah, it’s fun to try and figure out what order these get filmed in based on stuff sitting around the shop.
Gotta hire a script supervisor to ensure continuity 😅
@@DieselCreek wish I would send you a donation don't want any item from your store don't need them but would. Like to help you out
BSP = British Standard Pipe. It has a 33% greater proof pressure rating than JIC (8,000psi vs 6,000psi).
Probably not needed on a 3,000 psi system though. I have the BSP threads on the diverter valves on my Kubota. Somewhat frustrating to find the proper fittings.
A hint on long small limbs. Grab 1/3 from the end - stuff the long side behind a tree and rotate and break the small tree at the point of the two trees. Drag out and re-bunch and off you go. 🤠
Just like Chris, on let's dig 18 does, really smooth at it, too! Matt will catch on in a few minutes of playtime with this new instrument of destruction! Also noticed that Chris just lifts stumps and drops them on the ground a couple of times to knock the dirt off them instead of trying to shake them. Gravity is a huge asset at times. Beautiful installation job, Matt! Very nice piece of equipment you got yourself there!
Matt is a master at what he does! A fantastic teacher! Congratulations on 3/4 of a million subscribers! You deserve it.
The only difference between a mam and a boy is the price of the toys!!! Your having way too much fun!! Keep the videos coming. (81 year old retired machinist who worked on printing presses. )
I am also 81 and can't wait to see his next video, I just purchased a 3500-pound Kymron excavator and I can't wait to start digging out a bunch of Ash stumps with it.
28yo and currently work on gravure,offset,stitchers and binders! I’ll probably be the last generation to do so…
Gotta love the "mam" typo 😂
I was wondering how long it would take you to upgrade. Makes life so much easier!
One of these days I'd like to see you accomplish some of the delicate tricks I've seen done by operators. I'll bet the fans would love that. With that machine and the toys you just installed, I would bet you could have cleared your shop location twice as fast.
Fantastic work on the install Matt! Love the ingenuity when the directions were somewhat generic, especially with how clean you mounted the control box. Glad we could help make it happen!
Wishing nothing but the best for the @dieselcreek channel
BSP = British Standard Pipe. Extensively used across the globe for plumbing connections ( but not in North America).
We don’t need that communist shit.
Yes here in America too it is very common got to know what you're looking at biggest difference is 55 degree thread angle as opposed to 60° for American they appear to have rounded Crest and a rounded root radius the American thread is truncated flat.
just read the metric go world school so much Ezzor A 🤣 fixed
After 45+ years as a Journeyman Industrial Machine Repairman, I totally agree with you on those fittings. JIC 37 deg and O ring port or flat flange. 👍👍👍
im an operator but i do a lot of work on the side and i used to be a fulltime fabricator/ welder clamp the top down when you tac it the welds will cool and pull the top up as a weld cools it also shrinks thats why sometimes when you get something perfectly aligned or squared after you tac it on one side it moves a bit also burning hot enough it shouldnt really matter but its best to clean the weld area first like on the back side of the thumb that goes against the boom as well because when you just grind the outer sides your still leaving that paint underneath where the weld will penetrate and could still pull some impurities through but burning hot enough on that size metal it shouldnt hurt you just some tips ive learned over the years great video man!!
Yes!! Excellent advice and absolutely true.
@@Bad_CAT_itude3408 thank you sir and yeah man can never clean a weld area enough the cleaner the metal the stronger the weld especially mig and tig i normally grind paint off wire wheel it and acetone it to make sure i get as many impurities out as possible also very important to watch your heat and make sure you dont have it too cold or too hot effecting the strength of the metal or the weld and another thing i learned fabbing was you can never have enough clamps lol
That's was a sweet install. The directions couldn't have been any better. New setup is going to be helpful on all kinds of ways.
The opposable thumb, a godsend.
Have fun with your new dexterity.
Thanks for taking time to share your work.
It’s what separates us from the rest of the animals, well, that and a little brain power.
Interestingly, having spent my whole life as a horseman I could argue that two aspects that might refute the brain power.
1) Horses have been on the planet for 50 million years and; ,
2) I have never had anyone of the thousands of horses I have known treat me to the room service I treated them to everyday.
Their willingness to allow humans on their backs is a perfect symbiotic relationship, almost as good as a thumb on a bucket. @@Hoaxer51
'm glad that your channel continues to grow larger. You've entertained us and shown us things that are new and interesting that most of us don't know about or have access to. I hope for continued success for you.
And his channel is clean and informative,I like it
I appreciate that!
there was some adult humor in the background in this video though
Love all the trouble of drawing square lines, and then when it's welded on at 19:47 it's all crooked anyway :) haha
Sweet new Bucket and Thumb and Quick Coupler Matt 1:00 @Diesel Creek
I’ve seen hydraulic thumbs do some next level stuff with a great operators. It will be a great addition to your arsenal
Yes, how cool!! My boring Sunday evening is saved! One hour and ten minutes of the best mechanic ever on RUclips 💪🏻🛠️
Matt, I love your content
greetings from Germany
Haha I don’t know about that title but thank you!
@@DieselCreek I just find your videos so entertaining and educational and I take something from each of your videos that I can use for all my junk here in Germany 😂😂😂
Finally, you work on something that's newer and easier to work on and what an installation. You did a great job and that thumb is really functional. Keep up the great videos.
Great job Matt. Complete start to finish. What a first....
Just in time for the Sunday morning coffee. Thanks Matt. The Diesel Creek badging is awesome!
You guys are spoilt, down here (🇦🇺) we don’t get Matt’s videos till late Sunday night!
@@peterharms3851Sunday afternoon here in Ireland😀
@@mikemcternan8249Think it depends when he drops the videos as I usually get them early on Saturday afternoon here in Belfast.
Love the long one's! Who says size don't matter!😉😂 Thanks Matt!
I spent quite a few years fitting for PSM our local heavy equipment implement manufacturer. It was fun to see you do the install.
Great video Matt, thanks for the family-friendly video and the no-nonsense quality of work you do. You demonstrate excellence that should be emulated by so many people these days. Thank You and God bless you!
This for auto car : you can add extra radiator behind the original radiator for extra cooling instead of overheating.
Are we hearing a house build? Exciting taking out the pink dotted trees and get it opened up!
That thumb, bucket and coupler combo turned that case into a weapon! Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
Lines being installed going super smooth Matt nice 28:51 @Diesel Creek
It’s fun getting to watch your shop and property come together. I also enjoy watching all the equipment/ dirt channels I watch come together and go on adventures. You, DP, and C+C. Even some let’s dig in there sometimes. It’s amazing watching such skilled operators and mechanics work. I might have learned a trick or two.
I watch a lot of let’s dig as well that guy is a great operator makes it look super easy
I hope the overhead shop cranes comes soon!
Matt, Your doing a great service to the great Case High Ho by installing the thumb . It'll make the machine more versatile . Your tutorial on the installation of the new coupler and thumb ws😀😀 excellent .
Oh yeah This is going to be Good Always Awesome to see You got a new Video UP Matt 0:20 @Diesel Creek
That is a well engineered kit. Well documented, too. Makes it look easy. Well done.
Holy cow! The old Bobcat made an appearance! I got to say your welding helmet reminds me of Evil Kinevel
Great video Matt!! 👍👍
Yeah, I caught that too.
Almost didn't recognize it without the steel tracks.
Great video, Matt. Looking forward to many, many, more of this quality! Keep Smiling!
Just a thought. The company I work for, had one of these couplers installed on a Hyundia machine. On that machine, when the bucket was curled all the way open, the bucket linkage hit the hose block. Your linkage may be different, but You may want to check the clearance, so you don't break a hose or fitting. Love the video.
Nice job on the install!
Coming from a 40 year Case mechanic. 9 years at Case Dealership.
Right on brother! I’m a Bobcat and Develon mechanic these days. Only thing I’d have done differently is added two diversion valves where he T’d into the auxiliary lines so he can run attachments and lock out the thumb. Other than that I’d say perfectly done.
Amazing Diesel Creek video as usual! Keep it up!
I love the vehicle accessories videos.
Glad you like them!
Matt, congratulations on hitting 3/4 of a million subscribers !!! My first post and I have been watching for a couple of years now. Keep up the great work.
Nice neat and clean install Matt, great job, it's fun when everything is clean and thought out well. Enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Matt, you are one smooth operator! Nice fabrication SOLO, solid welding, plumbing and electrical installation and nice demonstration of working the Case!
Just spent my Sunday morning watching and enjoying Diesel Creek, without heat and electricity ( 80,000 residence without power in upstate New York! Nicely done, Matt!
PLEASE BRING BACK THE INTRO MUSIC. Personally I hate youtube intros but those 6 notes from the supervillians seem pretty satisfying knowing the cont that they bring.
The only intro I don’t immediately fast forward! Love his.
He still does that intro too. Matt has three intro "styles," the "running over the camera," the "straight into the action," and the "drone shots with music."
@@SpawnofChaos yes we know. I’m campaigning for full theme song all the time. It’s too good!
Just recently came across Matt and his videos. Absolutely out of this world amazing. One of my favorite things to watch on RUclips. Thanks for the awesome content!
I'm always impressed at how intrepid you are!! Despite any (minor) misgivings, you choose a goal, get the parts and make it happen. 1-2-3. Always a joy to watch you do what you enjoy!!!!!!
Love seeing the excitement on your face. That thumb is gonna make everything a lot easier for you. Thank you for sharing.😊
Wow almost 750K subscribers😮 congratulations @Matt🎉
Your channel is doing well 👌🏻
Thanks for the loss of commercials. Keep up the good work cheers.
That was fun watching and “virtually” working 🔧 with you Matt, “Smooth Operator”.
Diesel Creek ⚙️ Made in the USA 👍🇺🇸 - Doesn’t get any better than that 👏
There was thumb-thing missing when you got it 😂
Thanks for showing us how it’s done 👍
Afternoon Matt watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍 Great Video 📹 Matt 👍
Thanks 👍
I have watched this channel since infancy the amount of skills knowledge technicality that you have achieved is astronomical I'm proud of you Matt keep going strong🎉
This was a great video!! I love the way everything came together and worked for you. You've got a great rig. You work really hard putting these videos together, and I'm grateful for your efforts. Your work ethic is something to be proud of. I'm so happy for you.
From a total novice at this type of thing, thanks Matt for taking the time to describe and show some of the detail for adding on accessories like the thumb and new bucket. Looking forward to more of these videos and how the accessories are used. 😊
Many years ago a thumb was an interesting novelty, a handy toy if you will. Today it is all but a must have option on an excavator.
Breakfast wouldn't be complete without a Diesel Creek video🤘 Have a great Sunday Matt👍
What a joy to watch. A nice balance between size and finesse. Great setup. 😊
Like the way you laid out everything doing this job. Thanks for the video
Clearing trees? Must be time to build that dream home. Awesome😁
Poor trees
It’s always a good morning when you wake up and see a Diesel Creek video added.
I really love sitting here in my easy chair watching you work on this old Stuff. But I have to stop and rest once in awhile cause it makes me tired, knowing all the pain I had working on it.😂😂❤❤
Beautiful fabrication Matt ! Can't wait for the house build, which obviously should start soon I suppose, since you're starting the clearing... 👍👍👍
Matt! Make sure you drop the relief pressure of the aux circuit so that when you curl the bucket against the thumb it will bypass and not bend the thumb cylinder!
I was wondering about that.
Congrats Matt on getting ur excavator parts-on and making it work better. looks cool..
Love the video Matt on the Hydraulic coupler and the Thumb .
Great video as always Matt 1:07:55 @Diesel Creek
I’m loving videos about current projects getting done, rather than collecting future projects. That thing is going to be handy!
It is neat how you have your logo on thumb
Thanks Matt When your attachments are properly engineered and made to fit your machine it's so much easier to fit up and make work,. Thanks WB great products. Newer and Clean is like a Dream to work on.
It's definitely been a very interesting year, especially since your completion of your new workshop, but this new episode is definitely been a great 👍 addition, watching you Matt working inside is magnificent. 😊.
I installed a lot of hydraulic couplers on excavators when I worked for the dealer. Every one I ever installed came with instructions to not use the pins that come with the coupler to install to the stick because they are not hardened, and will damage the stick. You were supposed to reuse the pins that were on the manual coupler, and the pins that come with the hydraulic coupler are meant to be installed on a bucket.
Makes sense
I’ve never heard that but that’s what I did…. Except the thumb pin you don’t have a choice it’s long and you need that
Then why do they include pins at all?
@@dcviper985, For the pin that stays on/in the bucket.
9:03 Wow! You're a surgeon with the excavator! Impressive! 👍
I was good with the old one, this will take some getting used to
Great job, Matt!!!
That sure will save a lot of work and speed up all jobs.
Great job Matt, Always enjoy your videos, you do good work, that thumb looks good on their. thanks for taking the time to share have a good one.
I see the old bobcat and i expect to hear some of the older soundtrack music 😂
Pretty slick kit. Even i could install this one.
Thanks for the great content Matt.
Anytime Matt and his new toys come out is a good day. I love the excitement he gets!
Great video. Thanks for dropping the horn on the intro - I know it's DC quality coming my way without all the noise other u-tubers like to crank up.
A great way to start off a Sunday morning. Thanks for these interesting and informative videos.
Cool! My first thought was 'good! now he can get on with killing trees!' Remember dream shop not done till the last tree hits the ground.
New home site?
Great video! Thanks for the lesson on the new thumb! Be well, be safe!
As soon as it pops up gotta watch
Thank you for purchasing a made in Canada bucket! It's nice that we still make something in Canada and haven't offshored.
TIL that Ohio is in Canada. Wait...
Once you clear that area, it should be a good place for a home.
Sweet an hour long video, thanks Matt love the content, and especially the lengths you go to explain things, well done Happy Easter to you and yours
Being an ex plant mechanic loved routing and fitting hydralics but i hated electrics just bought two t shirts to show off in Scotland keep up the amazing content
When you were shaking the dirt out of those root balls from the trees, I was thinking that it might be the driest I’ve ever seen it there! Lol
Nice job!
It’s just a dry part of the land
I really enjoy your longform videos. Thanks for posting! Great looking addition to your fleet!
Nice work 👍
Good to see you in a newer machine with more bells and whistles 😁
