Most folks are not aware of the actual strength that welds provide. In fact, a one inch long weld that is 1/4" wide is capable of supporting approximately 2000 pounds. Judging by the size of Jon's new support lugs, I would estimate that each one is capable of supporting around 48,000+ pounds of vertical load. I am a recently retired mechanical engineer who performed pressure and load calculations on pressure vessels in refineries and chemical facilities for the last 43 years. Well done, Jon.
Two things cause serious uproar on diy YT channels imo, welding and electrical splicing/soldering.
People lose their $hit and it's so entertaining.
And it comes from a simple lack of knowledge and experience.
Bull-shit! That's a lie.
Welders and pipe fitters are an exceptionally arrogant group at times. The idea of an ugly weld that works seems to get them riled up@@thatrealba
Machine weighs about 6,000 lbs. each of the four pick/lift point carries a portion of that weight depending on how the center of mass is located front to back and side to side. I’m sure there is a huge factor of safety associated with what Jon (no H) has constructed.
It's a small thing, but I always chuckle at the little seal pictures. I appreciate the time you take to keep this gag going.
I get disappointed when I don't see seal pictures and when watching channels such as CEE, keep expecting to see seal pictures. It is like expecting to hear tappy tap tap or release the schmoo, or "click".....oh wait, wrong vidjeo and channel on the doobly doo.
I love them too. Even if thier corny the kid in me loves the humor
After a long week of crowded train stations and work in Tokyo requiring me to talk all the damn time, there’s nothing more refreshing on a Saturday morning than a plate of eggs and bacon while listening to and watching Jon entertain us all. Therapeutic. Thanks, bud.
No kidding
I just did the same thing. Except for the whole Tokyo and talking to people part.
it time to take a look at the pond you dug for your neighbor last year
I second that motion!
Video dropped on that today, you were a week, then few hours early
Dozer is barking at his echo, my dog is barking at dozer. It's an international language!
My dog jumped to, lol. Dozer making internet followers.
Thanks for the latest post. For a content junky like me, its good to have a subscription like FarmCraft who consistantly posts regular videos on interesting topics which I can sit back and enjoy. Thanks again Jon
"I'm just gonna put together a quick venturi...."
John these are the exact golden nuggets I love taking from watching your work.
But really they're the bonus. Your show is just good for the soul. 😊

Dozer is getting big! 🐕
Protect the gas tank with a rubber mat material. between the skid plate and the tank
Friday night, a cold beer and a new video from Farmcraft. Thank you Jon for taking the time to create great content 😊
You do a great job with your welding man. Some people have to find fault with everything. I love your vids….I’m glad I discovered you. Your narration skills are awesome. You take us along with you. Keep on keeping on.
I'd say the comments about the welding on the lift points were made out of ignorance rather than malice. Jon did the right thing by educating rather than calling them haters or something like that.
It took a while, but the seals finally showed up for the seal installation. Always a good laugh here.
On that pin you were fighting for the cylinder, you had the right idea at the end with that 3/4" rod and a hammer. Just need a much bigger hammer. The pin is tapered like you said, so just frozen in one spot. As soon as you move it even a tiny amount, it will be completely free - but takes a big hit! Trying to pry or pull it out won't work with it being stuck on the taper like that. I look forward to your videos every week :)
That 3/4 bar was starting to mushroom and I was worried I was going to get it stuck. Seemed better to quit that fight before I made it worse. ;-)
@@FarmCraft101 Yeah I just finished the video, you did great. It's amazing how much a taper can hold isn't it? Love Dozer, he's growing fast!
Use BIG hammer, then you might need only one hit. That will avoid mushroom problem. When using small hammer, in any job, you will mushroom anything.
the shorter the bar the better too. A long bar just flexes sideways somewhat when the blow is not perfectly straight. Keeping it short minimizes that flex and more of the blow translates to the far end. Also could weld a pipe section to the outside of the bar where is not in the hole to help direct the force of the hammer blow as well. Deadslow201 is correct you just need one GOOD hit. 🙂
@@whs2220 Good points from both of you. A longer bar flexing makes sense, would take out a lot of the energy. And getting it done in less hits
"on wowo , that goes all the way in" , "that's a serious hole" :) Thank you! I was missing those!
24:26
I'm surprised that there wasn't even a comment on that 😂
Thought about it ....but then I already had made the comment and I didn't want to go at it twice...like John does :) @@Kremit_the_Forg
Your level of ambition and ingenuity is beyond MacGyver.. While I don't always agree with your action plans I am always impressed with your results. Good job Jon
For a fellow backhoe owner, super kudu to your workmanship and as a former videographer for realtree outdoors,i can tell you the amount of work and dedication to film and editing is unreal. Many things. Your the man.
I think this was one of your better buys, Jon. Thanks for having us follow along 🙂
Jon « no h » : You and Marty T are my heroes.
Youre a great teacher mate, even though ill Never work on something like this, the way you go about it and show/tell us (even with the errors in doing it) is addictive and wonderful to watch and Learn from you. Youre an Inspiration to us all and I appreciate it. I hope I made sense there as im a bit of a blockhead with words. Cheers.
Jon, welding plastic is a tricky thing, but I was with ya, I was 100% convinced the zip tie would work! Great video! Been farming 30 years, but I learn something nearly every time I watch your channel. Thanks for what you do! Lee
Back in the early 70s this old timer
Who had been a heavy equipment operator and worked in construction, retired then
Took his shovel out to garden
It cut a perfect slit in the soil smooth like glass with almost no effort, when he was done with the tool he washed it put on a sharp edge with a file made sure it was smooth and then a thin coat of oil before putting it away.
It was always ready to be used.
I'm not that guy. Nope id rather fight the tool and let er rust.
His shovel was 40 years old and looked brand new.
I dint know about you but i am always a rush and don't have time to keep my tools will oiled.
But now I'm thinking that extra time spent to keep my tools clean and ready makes your tools last and the job easy and faster. You can learn a lot from these old timers. They didn't have the money we waste today.
Yeah, I've got a buddy who just sets or throws tools on the ground. He bought a complete toolbox, loaded leaves it setting in the yard in the weather. The other day he's out working on a truck, walks over turns on side to drain out the water. Spends 20 minutes looking for top brand wiring pliers he has just laying out rusted up. 🙄
Me, I'm using my grandfather's hacksaw still. When done using, it goes back in the toolbox out of the weather. It is over 60 or 70 years old.
I can admit. You're the youtube influencer now. By your films you're forcing me to fix stuff that waiting for its turn somewhere around my workshop. Thanks
Always entertaining videos Jon. How about a visit to the pond that you built? I think that would be cool to see how that turned out. That was quite a bit of work you did on that bad boy.
There will be an update video on it soon. I promise!
@FarmCraft101 awesome! Thanks, Jon. Like you don't have enough going on. I'll continue to pound the Like button and leave little comments no matter what. It's great real-world content. Sometimes, situations suck and you just have to power through. Keep it to the firewall.
Your handling of the "fine adjustment sledgehammer" is commendable! 😁
I think it works on the same principle as a torque wrench. When you've hit it hard enough you hear a click.
@@KenFullman In the back...I usually tend to use a loader or a digger as a mobile press to adjust bent metal or to keep pressure before welding.
Andrew Camarata has a pretty neat method for drying out the last of a fuel tank. He stuffs some blue paper towels inside and then sticks an air nozzle inside and blows them around
John, just another little trick to try on stopped up grease fittings. I've found that warming them up with a Mapp gas torch does the trick more times than not. They don't have to get cherry red, just enough to soften the old hard grease inside.

Another superb set of videos. Your site deserves to grow exponentially.
I owned a Rut Tree Slayer on my mini excavator. I don't believe you will be disappointed. Good quality and great folks to work with.
Really impressed with your work ethic and "can do" attitude. I could feel the despair at parts of the journey, but you soldiered on. Good job!!
Val stood no chance against raw Jon power. Your videos are absolutely perfect. Thank you for producting and sharing these. I always watch.
Saturday morning in the recliner with a coffee watching Farmcraft and learning! #daymade Thanks Jon for all you do!!
Not just a ordinary farmer
Glad to see you lube up that 7 inch pin really well before driving it home.
Rihno mowers are bullet proof. I've seen people smack boulders with these things on hundred horsepower tractors and they shrugged it off. All of the local municipalities in my area use rhino, they're an established staple name in the attachment industry, they're three-point tractor mowers are phenomenal, I have one and so does my dad, a lot of these have gearboxes on them that still run quad zero grease which is basically really thin grease. Farmer down the road isn't exactly known for taking care of his stuff, and for the better part of the last 30 years he owned the mower I can say with confidence the gearbox has been at least 80% water, I split the box cleaned it and filled it back up with oil, and honestly the gears didn't look like they were any worse for the wear. If you have an opportunity to look at a rhino mower next to most competition, just the thickness of the steel alone will probably be enough to sell you on them. Don't take my word for it though do your own research for sure!
My grandfather always said ''When in doubt give it a clout, the bigger the doubt the bigger the clout --GET A BIGGER HAMMER'', you're a stubborn bugger John! all the best from NZ again
hey John just received my Farm Craft 101 baseball cap. Nicely done man.
Farm Craft 101 is my favorite channel. Jon, you're a pleasure to listen to and always funny. I learn a lot and enjoy all your mechanical projects!
I have enjoyed this series. I was thinking of the old saying "patience of Job" when you were working on the frame leaks. I liked how you fixed the gas tank and think you could do a separate video just on that fix for anybody with a leaky plastic fuel tank.
I bought the Gladiator from Rut for my skid steer to make trails because it has the carbide tips underneath to help grind up material. The problem is that it leaves 3” stubbles.
The hockey puck design of the blade bolts are lower than the carbide tips and they get the brunt of abuse trying to get a lower cut.
The Gladiator is built like a tank, very happy with the quality.
It will take down 4-5” material easy with a low flow machine.
Saturday morning, cup of coffee, house to myself and a new Val video. This is the life
Quick Attach Attachments, American made and made well with great tech and customer service. Have used numerous pieces of there equipment over the years and have never been let down. Great vid and soldier on my friend!
Grinder and paint, and percussive maintenance. You sir are a mechanic of my own heart. Hahaha.
Quick Attach / Erskine Attachments out of Fosston, MN makes great skid steer attachments, great prices, very heavy duty. I could be biased since they're close to home but we use them for all of our equipment attachments like snow blowers, brush mowers, forestry mulchers, etc..
The most important thing to know is the flow rate of his hydraulic pump. The mower/mulcher must be sized accordingly.
Yup they take all of that into account during the quoting process and ask all the make model and specs of machines to specially build to spec for the specific machine.
hello john ive been a welder and fabricator all my life since i was 19 years old and im 64 now and still working not because i have too its because i love what i do to help people out as well as big buissneses. so i will say to those mounts you welded they are more than suffice and will not fail in service and if the arm chair crowd on youtube dosent think so they can go fluff there dusters.
Again, after watching your video I have a sense of accomplishment, when in fact I have not done anything and am ignoring my projects for youtube.
Thank you for your vids, really have enjoyed them! More than once have I gotten frustrated during a seemingly simple project on something I thought I got a good deal on, and found patience when thinking of your boom lift and dozer project challenges.😂 Hello from Grand Rapids, Michigan 👋
I did liked the last little white seal that you edit, hahaha so cute, as all your work, well done.
We used to sell PC7 at the hardware store where I worked many years ago. It was on a countertop display so we literally stood behind our product.
I do enjoy a FarmCraft video on a Friday evening,
These machine refurb videos definitely make good content. Thanks for the effort you put into releasing these videos.
Great video John , I know I or ready as you if at all possible
To show some pictures of that pond you did last year 🤞🇬🇧👍
Mtl brush cutters are great. And made in Ga. I've been using one for 4yrs, I'm in land clearing business, it's been put to the test and we've not had one issue
33:00 your becoming an expert at repairing these.
I was watching an old man who was a pro equipment operator.
He was working on a very old cat that had sat in the bush 30-40 years
First thing he did was look at the pistons clean them off and fix any high spots, file and emery cloth.
You wet a rag with thin oil and wipe the crap off them before you even run the equipment.
Same thing with a cars power antenna .
If you make sure they are smooth and clean they should last longer.
The old guy was in the outback down under, he got that old cat running and drove it
15 years ago i ordered an ac condenser from the USA but during shipping to Sweden it got run over by a forklift or something so i had it reordered. Second one came a few weeks later. I installed it in my S10 and started pulling vacuum in the system but there was a pin hole defect on one of the cells... It took 6 weeks since i first ordered the ac condenser and its now prime summer so i got pissed off and put a blob of jb weld on it. Ac still blowing ice cold 15 years later 🤣
"Guten-tight" is a good German standard so you know it's good to go. 😂
HI Jon. Obviously you could put a paint marker on the gland nut /body a visual indicator of coming loose. Best regards Don
Dozer the brown Noser lmfao 😂 to funny Jon nice to see all the leaks are fixed Nice Val 50:38 @FarmCraft101
Jon, just love these old machine repair videos. Must see TV. Blue Diamond brush hog is great. I have one for my Bobcat.
A few washers on the bolts along the rear edge of the skid plate between it and the body/frame of the machine might give you a little more room between the fuel tank and skid plate if you find it's needed. Easy to do.
Great idea!
My thoughts exactly.
I saw the o ring on the ground when you repaired the stud leak again....but looks' like you put it back on. Great vids as always. Really enjoy this channel.
Is it high flow? It matters for the bush hog. If you want more room under the tank you can cut a hole directly over the tank and face mount plate over the hole. I think on the New Hollands that adjustment for stop movement may also adjust the left and right wheel speed, so if you find that it's not going straight, that may be your adjustment. I'd still highly recommend two buckets. You'll use the toothed bucket as much as the straight bucket. Nice machine and good job!
Yes this is a point Bill makes and one I was going to mention.. I think these machines have an auxilary flow rate of 62 liters /min (if I remember correctly..)
He needs to know the flow rate and size his rotary cutter accordingly.
Best Friday notification!
For the drive creep adjustment, the two bolts you loosen to make the adjustment is holding a steel bar that is holding pressure on two cam folders. The steel bar gets divots worn into it and the cam followers are prone to seizing, this makes it extremely difficult to get it adjusted properly and it will fall out of adjustment quickly. You can flip the steel bar 180 and get a fresh flat surface or mill a bit off of it if both sides are worn out.
Brass hammer and a 9/16 Craftsman wrench!! You are my hero!! I'm always amazed when I see professional people using a steel hammer when they should be using brass or composite.
Great feeling to see how well your repairs held up, turned a problem child into a real tool!
Your videos are another reason to look forward to Fridays. Jon, you da man.
Not one leak after you're done. That's pretty amazing. Congrats. You almost always expect something older like this to leak a little. Thanks for the content.❤
Nice repair! Congrats on getting Val's leaks under control. Are you going to install some lights and maybe some sliding plexiglass or polycarbonate panels on the sides of the cab to keep out the dust, dirt and rain and wind? Maybe a fan in the cabin for those hot days?
What about a set of forks to move stuff around? I bet this would be easier to do that with than having to fire up your tractor....
Cheers from Oregon,
Philip
Maybe check into a flail mower instead of a bush/brush hog, I’ve never used one but flail mowers look pretty impressive for what you are going to do, keep up the great videos and I’ll keep watching!
Great video. Has the pond you built filled with water yet?
Great question. We need a pond-fill update!
An easy fun channel to learn a thing or two.
I really enjoy the benefit Jon gets from the back-up team (the knowledgable end of the comments, that is - I am at the other end) . Just one of the many facets of a really enjoyable channel.
Thank you. Did the pond ever fill?
We have a RUTT Mulcher for our Yanmar 35, very nice piece of iron. Built well and have had zero issues with it. Can’t say on behalf of their skid steer attachments, but if its anything like the one we have you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the video and take care!
Thank you for sharing your project so that viewers can learn how to perform the repairs needed to keep a unit in shape. You are excellent as an instructor .
You're the man Jon, I aspire to be more like you.
Hi Jon. I absolutely care about how you spell your name. I'm glad you told us. I consider using, pronouncing, and spelling a person's name correctly a great sign of respect. P.S. My fav part was the diesel venturi!
I wondered how long it would be before the PC7 would come out! 😂
And yeah, I think there is wisdom in over-building those lift pads. No harm in KNOWING you are safe.
BTW, that vintage pipe wrench is the bomb! You make Fridays great. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks Jon for another great episode. Love the short movies!
I’ve use an air hammer during my 46 years of aviation repair to remove rusty and stuck bolts. Seems the rhythmic action of the hammer loosens everything.
I'm so impressed with your creative repair solutions. Thank you for the GREAT content!!
Yaknow I've been watching ur videos for quite a long time, you never cease to amaze me John and you certainly never disappoint, you explain everything you do with perfection and admit when you don't know something, you also find the answer when you don't know and tell us. I really appreciate you and your content, please keep it up fine sir, outstanding job. Your in the top 3 on RUclips my friend.
I really enjoy your seals.
Dammit Val...." that's a serious hole " ,😂
Great video Jon ,you are a very talented person, and I love your can do attitude, I don't know how you get all those replacment parts, but I learn something new with each video. Thank you.
Excellent work there Jon!! I think "Val's" getting whipped into shape there. Gotta get me some of that PC7 , and maybe one of those wire fed welders. 👍❤️👍
Suggestion for your shake siphon. Put a hose clamp on the hose on the end piece/valve....that piece has a tendency to fall off hose over time as hose softens from fuel exposure...just a suggestion.
More seal photos😂😂😂 Great content keep it up.
Navy Seals?
Great idea with the Mesh tape Used for Reinforcing drywall Patches Jon 8:26 @FarmCraft101
Jon, ratchet strap whatever your lifting to the hoist arms when you get them in place. Don't have to worry about any kind of balance once the arms are spread enough and the load is tied down! Hope that helps!
This machine is basically a John Deere 6675 skid steer.
LA-CO Oyltite-Stik® 011475 Oil and Gas Leak Sealant.
Used on B-707 & 747 and my car.
Used to work for B.O.A.C (British Airways).
Jon: "Nobody ever plans to go slamming into anything." Me: "Obviously, you haven't met either of my sons!" 🤣
Jon is the most OCD dude on RUclips and I love it 😂
Just got a Rut MFG brush cutter for my excavator recently. I've only run it for a couple of hours so far, but I'm very impressed. Great build quality and cutting performance at a reasonable price!
Give Clint at C&C equipment a shout, they are dealer for bush hogs, forget the brand though sorry. Might even be able to run you up a replacement side plate on his plasma table.
If the lift brackets are flat on the underside then some wood or rubber placed in between is good to prevent steel on steel sliding (which is surprisingly easy to occur).
Fantastic channel John,I'm abit like you but in Australia,Jack of all trades but master of none.Its the joy and satisfaction when a job is done and the sense of achievement when it works out well and of course giving a finger to the experts and saving a buck.
On the tank John, try some JB Weld now over the wire tie. I fixed a oil pan on my truck and it never leaked after I put on the JB.
I think the fuel tank leak was a factory defect. During the process of assembling the tank at that seam where the leak was, pressure was allowed to build in the tank and the channel to a bubble was formed. Once the skid plate was bent and came in contact eith the bubble, it wore thru, and opened the channel. I think you did a good job of repairing it. I think your use of the machine will be less stress on the chain boxes than original, and those welds will hold up. It looked to me like those were fatigue cracks from the stresses resulting when the machine bounced or lifted and dropped loads in its previous life. I always buy messed up stuff like that. My hope is that I can be more like you in overcoming the issues that come my way!!
Great video, I would much rather deal with issues like you had, rather then motor or pump problems. This should last you a long time. Stay safe.
Another great series, now you get to use it and I anticipate success.
