Even if you end up owning a few more backhoes or excavators you will always remember and speak of the Triple Nickel! Great video series on rebuilding her. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!
"mommy make the bad blower stop!!!" "What died in there" a long with "It's fine" need to be your taglines!!! Thank's for the deep belly laugh this a.m.!!!
We done an old Ford oil pressure Guage years ago and that plastic tube dry rotted. I'd get copper line for it, especially that close to the exhaust. Thanks for the content buddy
Nice work on the 555. I've enjoyed all your hard work! I'd ditch the plastic tube and get some copper tube for your oil pressure gage. The plastic stuff is asking for trouble.
Oh Mike ... lol.. when that fan suddenly came on..talk about jumpy .. sure did make me lol. Good to see you're piecing it altogether bit by bit though. The ol gal is getting all the love and attention she needs!
Every normal guy in America watches your videos and we all see ourselves while watching you work. Thanks Mike for taking us along and sharing your day.
Mike the older you get the harder it is to fit in those real fun places. Keep up the good work! Crazy the weather changes we have had this winter. I think that this is going to be a good addition to the homestead looking forward to you driving this and doing some work with it.👏👏👏👏👍👍🦾🛠
Not just in America, we're the same here in the UK and Europe too, see a symptom, look for a cure, sometimes a book helps, but often they're written by Desk Jockeys with no experience of working with their hands. I spent 50 years working as an Electrician and Service Engineer on Industrial White Goods, Blundering with Intent would describe some weeks! (Always won though.)
The 555 is only a year younger than me. Now I feel really old! 🤣🤣 The switch and blower motor had my dying! Kleeman Humor never gets old! Glad to see you are going through all the other issues and potential issues, as well as cleaning years of gunk and build up.
5 terminal fan switch wiring “B” to 12 volt battery. “H” straight to blower motor no resistor. “M” to a resistor to motor. “L” to larger value resistor to motor. “C” terminal is not “ground” as it routes 12 vdc to the A/C clutch coil through a temperature switch or a binary or trinity A/C pressure switch. This terminal will route 12 volts (when not in off position) to energize the A/C Clutch through a temperature or binary or trinary pressure switch if the A/C refrigerant pressure is not to low or too high or if the refrigerant is not to cold (to prevent evaporator freeze up) depending on the tractor design. Motor + lead is connected to the fan resistor bank and other to tractor ground. Like your videos.
To clarify … There probably is a 12 volt relay to actually activate the A/C compressor clutch as these cutches may draw a lot (20 amps) of current. So the fan blower switch “C” terminal would be routed through a temperature switch (on evaporator fins) or a binary or trinary A/C high low pressure switch to a relay. The relay would route 12 volts to activate the compressor coil other side of compressor coil to ground.
You may want to look into getting a copper line for your oil pressure gauge, those plastic lines leak and break easily. Plus you are close to your exhaust heat. Doing a great job on the ole' triple nickel enjoying the adventure with you.
You're doing a fine job! Don't worry about the back seat driver's. I enjoy just setting back and watching people like us working alone with all the challenges. Good job! Lol. :)
I am definitely coming back to the comments to see how bad you get roasted for pounding on the extension and then the ratchet!!! Absolutely loved it!!😂😂
@@CaptainKleeman. Not crtisicm Captain but next time use a small or medium breaker bar. Your rachet will last longer and appreciate it. I've broken a couple of ratchets hitting them with a hammer to do what you had to do. Bought myself a breaker bar set. Harbor freight has them. Mine were Chaftsman when they were made in America.
Just get a pice at the hydraulic shop of suction hose. It will be fairly expensive for what looks like 1 1/4 hose. Always like your vids. Your blower switch activates the ac clutch via ground so the air conditioning doesn’t run with no blower. So you have to have the ac switch on and blower switch to engage the ac. Last system is the pressure switch in the ac lines to detect pressure or charge for the pump clutch to activate
Mike you could put the oil presser line threw a 90* bent 1" copper tube. Than pack blown in fiberglass in the tube around the oil line and epoxy the ends. Than to hold it bend a piece of flat bar around it (making an EYE) to hold it with the other end twisted a 1/4 turn with a hole drilled secure it with an exhaust bolt or another place on the block.😎😎👍👍
Great Video and excellent progress, get the little things while you have time and good weather (Good Call) . Thanks for taking us along... BTW Got a good chuckle when the fan hit high speed, have to laugh when those things happen.
Hi Captain your not alone getting stuck in tight spaces and I really like the way you talk to us viewers I always talk back to you when watching it fun to laugh along with your narration is brilliant and informative keep up with the great work sir
Hay, Mike! The progress, in spite of the setbacks, is absolutely amazing! Day one of the build I said you got more courage than I do, this only validates that! Lee
An old mechanic trick is fill the new oil tubing with a synthetic oil. A 0w20 and that will keep your gauge from showing a false pressure from cold oil that's stiff in cold temperatures
Can't beat a bit of 'percussive maintenance'... ;) - A triumph of perseverance on that oil plug. Sometimes the simplist things can be the most frustrating!
You are gaining on it young man, the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. You are doing a good job of turning the triple nickel into the homestead work horse, it will do what you need it to, no doubt in my mind youngster, thanks for the ride along, I am enjoying the series on the triple nickel.
Hello Mike. Great progress. When something goes wrong, you make it right. Bolt out or screw out would be a handy tool if you come across one, but be careful, the case is smaller than a wallet. Have good days!
I always tossed that plastic oil pressure tubing. They sell upgraded. Copper line for few bucks that’s a hole lot more durable. I’ve seen the plastic melt, where in too, or my favorite get brittle. Just a thought
Great day for a drive down by the river, no wonder you decided to do some washing pressure washing!!! Pleased you got the blower sorted, just have to hunt the dead out now..... 🤢 Lots of smaller jobs done, some easier than others, keep knocking them off that list !!! 💪💪💪
That first hose that you showed, about an 1.5 or slightly larger, can be replaced with gas filler hose, the hose that connects the gas cap to the tank on most mid 20th century automobiles. It is neoprene and it will stand hydraulic oil.
I tell ya, if I'm ever stranded out in the middle of nowhere, I would sure hope you are around because you could build a condo with just a pocket knife and a screwdriver!
Lots of grime!! Don’t let it go back that way Captain 😉 one section at a time it’s coming to life. Nice fan😂 glad nothing went in your eyes!! See on the next one 👍🇺🇸
Pretty much a necessity to keep the windows defrosted in cooler weather. Pretty hard to see out with fogged up windows. Nice to plow snow in a tee shirt as well.
All the talk about how great and entertaining your videos are and here I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I fell asleep. I did go back and found the last spot I remember seeing and started watching again and finished without falling asleep again.
From experience, they make a copper upgrade tube for those oil gauges, I slide mine into rubber vacuum hose for protection. I've had those plastic ones harden up and break. Just don't wanna see a feller have a surprise oil leak in the middle of digging Love the content keep it coming!
Mike this only a suggestion but I would definitely get the copper line and put on the Oil pressure gauge. That plastic is junk, and if it hits something hot and melts. Also you need too bleed that line. What you do is crack the fitting up by gauge and turn it over till oil comes up. That way you get the line bled out of air. You won't get an accurate reading.I would hate to see the engine get ruined over that plastic line...This is only a suggestion is all it is ..Great job on the Old 555, it's coming along nicely .It takes time to get all the bugs worked after a machine sets for Years ..Great job and video Sir...
I was unsure about watching your channel a year or so ago, but seeing how your willing to try to tackle any project without the knowledge is truly inspiring. Thank you for that inspiration, and just because you picked up a welder and just went for it, I decided I would do the same.
Great to see you getting to a working backhoe step by step. You will soon have a nice backhoe. Also nice to see that you are just tackling everything. Just keep it up, respect. greetings from the Netherlands
Captain Kleeman, I watch your videos rather than others because your warm, friendly, positive 'give it a go' attitude makes your videos not just entertaining but inspiring. You take us on the journey with you like part of your crew even when things don't go right first time. You are not afraid to show the ups and downs which makes all the difference rather than polished over-edited "perfection". Thanks and here's hoping for many more of your videos in future.
Captain, nice to see the triple nickle getting some love. Next time ya gotta clean an engine area that nasty use a couple of cans of Gunk engine degreaser. It'll clean up really good with less hassel. Channel Locks are made in America with American steel. Cool huh ?
Oh, the blower segment! I was rolling. I had a similar experience with a pickup truck. Apparently, at some point, someone had puked on the dash and into the defroster vents. When I got the blower motor to run, it was mayhem. I heaved and gagged until my buddy, who was helping me, eventually puked. Good times.
Your fan power wire has a bad connection upstream. It gets just enough power to show voltage on the multimeter but not enough to run anything. So it is either a bad upstream switch or a short. And you should have used some Teflon tape or pipe dope on those oil pressure fittings. Look into that elbow as well. You don’t want that tubing to melt on the exhaust and then have the oil ignite on the manifold. Thanks for the content.
G day from Australia love your videos you always make me laugh you remind me of myself a bit 😂 you do you and don’t worry about the know it all’s keep up the awesome videos look forward to the next one 👌
Is wholesome still a thing? Because that is how I see your channel. My grandson and I never miss a video. You never lose your temper, make light of catastrophe and ALWAYS teach us something. Soon we will be able to troll other channels and tell them they are doing it wrong! 😉 Thank you for sharing your projects and knowledge with us! As well as the giggles you give. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
It's hard to say which one of your projects I'm enjoying the most. Great content, coupled with the right amount of dry wit/humour. Keep doing what you do Cap'n Mike.
Gotta love pressure washing stuff! I'm thinking that nylon tube is too close to the exhaust, especially at full load. They have copper tubing that replace the nylon, you could run a section of copper and couple it to the nylon so you dont have to re- run everything. Just a thought.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Gave me several good laughs today. I recently watched a tool review for a tool bit enhanced gripping / extraction set for just that type of bolt, while watching I was thinking, nice tool but I’ve never seen anyone ever have a problem with that type of fastener, then you provide. Glad to see the work progressing on the backhoe. A while back watched a video of a guy using a pressure washer attachment that was a substitute for sand blasting, appeared to work as good other than it made an even bigger mess with all the wet abrasive material, definitely an outside tool. Might have been a harbor freight special. Wishing you and your family the best.
Always nice to see a project come together. I think you are really lucking out on what you are finding and what it takes to fix. Good luck and keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Blower fan switch shouldnt need a ground, (unless theres a light in the knob?) fan speeds typically send 12v thru a resistor or bank of resistors to do fan speeds, so full 12v for high and one resistor for med and 2 resistors for slow, sometimes theyre mounted on a plate in the ac box in the stream of the airflow to keep them cool, as resistors that step-down 12v typically get hot.
Re: voltage testing the blower switch, digital voltmeter doesn’t place any load on the circuit. So it can show voltage present even if the circuit isn’t capable of carrying any current. That’s where the good old incandescent test light (probe) can be a better tool than the dvm. Stay clear of the newer, led test lights, because they won’t put any load on the circuit either.
Hey Mike, as lots of others are saying, use copper for the oil pressure gauge. Look for a resistor (usually mounted on the box containing the motor/squirrel cage)in the blower motor circuit. In cars the motor speed is varied by the resistor and they fail in the high speed mode for safety-usually with air diverted to defrost.
I know a guy keeps posting but hey helps out with the channel. On the alternator I’ve tossed a many of those also. An installed a GM one wire self exciting alternator in its place for about 60$
Hey Mike all i can say is that switch doesn't require a ground. It's used in all sorts of stuff for ac not just deere used a few hundred of them myself. 20 year hot rod mechanic
I agree with this viewer. The ground is already connected to the blower. The switch is only needed to control power to the blower. The only reason a switch would need a ground would be if it was backlit and the led needed ground. Great job Mine. Love the tenacity and your willingness to work on almost anything.
So many things to comment on.... I laughed, I cried, I got jealous..... I hope that alternator is working and the bolt you needed to hold with the plyers is not broken internally. Hope the oil pressure gauge line doesn't melt, the good thing is if it does you will see the pressure drop and know there is some sort of problem, as long as it doesn't happen while you are doing a bunch of digging with the backhoe. I was digging with mine the other day and then went to move forward and it wouldn't budge, turns out one of my transmission cooler lines sprung a leak and drained all the fluid out... just means another video, this time how to make a hydraulic hose..... it never ends.
Non-sequiter; received Captain Kleeman tee shirts yesterday. Very nice quality and worth the wait. Best wishes to you and your family, Mike. The blower fan segment had me rolling! Always laughing with you brother!
Thanks, Mike for taking us along for the ride on this build serious its been great to watch and I had to laugh at you jumping when the blower just cut on😅🤣Mike your NAILING IT 👍👍👍👍
Coming along nicely CPT. You know how many times I have used an under sized socket and beat it on a nut or bolt head to get it off?? It becomes a normal practice once your good at it !!! 😂😂😂 . Can't waite to see her in action 👍👍👍👍
Enjoyable video ... gotta love those "Cleaning" segments. No more "suggestions" but staying "Subscribed" as I can't wait for the arrival of the Goats come Spring. Bon chance mon ami.
Your asking for trouble using the plastic line been there done that my tie broke and the plastic line got up against manifold. And you can guess the rest. I was lucky i seen the smoke and cut the truck off . No damage . Went bacl with copper. God bless work safe! Anthony in Alabama
Actually spat my tea out laughing when the blower motor just kicked in!! Love the content Mike! Keep it coming! Also can’t wait to see the forms come off the RUclips yacht!
CK, As to your oil pressure line, I would get a 90 degree fitting because if the oil line gets near the hot manifold you could start a fire,. Option 2. Use copper tubing instead of what they supplied you with. Ken
The part number for the hydraulic tank to pump suction hose is D1NNE885A. Be careful when getting close to the unshielded PTO shaft on that pressure washer!
great job on plug removal, the true sign of a technician, using what you have and making it work. thinking and working on the go, again great job, love your attitude.
Even if you end up owning a few more backhoes or excavators you will always remember and speak of the Triple Nickel! Great video series on rebuilding her. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!

"What died in there" a bit of foreshadowing... Keep it up, even if you are doing it wrong still better than doing nothing. Good stuff man.
Ol DP needs to get himself an on demand water heater on his pressure washer then you'll really have it made. lol Looks great Mike.
Best moment of RUclips thus far in 2023 when the blower kicked in the first time! Mike that face you made! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I laughed so hard it hurt when that blower kicked on. You're a natural comedian! Keep on keeping on.
I’m laughing so hard right now while watching you work on the blower switch. 😂
Something tells me that backhoe will be worth it when it's done. I love your commentary. You have a great sense of humor Captain.

5 terminal fan switch wiring “B” to 12 volt battery. “H” straight to blower motor no resistor. “M” to a resistor to motor. “L” to larger value resistor to motor. “C” terminal is not “ground” as it routes 12 vdc to the A/C clutch coil through a temperature switch or a binary or trinity A/C pressure switch.

Motor + lead is connected to the fan resistor bank and other to tractor ground.

THANK YOU!
To clarify … There probably is a 12 volt relay to actually activate the A/C compressor clutch as these cutches may draw a lot (20 amps) of current.
So the fan blower switch “C” terminal would be routed through a temperature switch (on evaporator fins) or a binary or trinary A/C high low pressure switch to a relay. The relay would route 12 volts to activate the compressor coil other side of compressor coil to ground.

Yes..gotta get them lil things..was so hoping ya would get to the horn lol
Just get a pice at the hydraulic shop of suction hose. It will be fairly expensive for what looks like 1 1/4 hose. Always like your vids. Your blower switch activates the ac clutch via ground so the air conditioning doesn’t run with no blower. So you have to have the ac switch on and blower switch to engage the ac. Last system is the pressure switch in the ac lines to detect pressure or charge for the pump clutch to activate
Appreciate the info! Thank you
Mike you could put the oil presser line threw a 90* bent 1" copper tube. Than pack blown in fiberglass in the tube around the oil line and epoxy the ends. Than to hold it bend a piece of flat bar around it (making an EYE) to hold it with the other end twisted a 1/4 turn with a hole drilled secure it with an exhaust bolt or another place on the block.😎😎👍👍

Plastic tubing + exhaust= meltdown. Suggest getting copper tubing. You will need to bleed the air out of the tubing as well. God bless
I agree

Nothing more fun than an intermittent electrical problem. Maybe you just wiggled it enough to break a little of the corrosion loose, so it worked.

Re: voltage testing the blower switch, digital voltmeter doesn’t place any load on the circuit. So it can show voltage present even if the circuit isn’t capable of carrying any current. That’s where the good old incandescent test light (probe) can be a better tool than the dvm. Stay clear of the newer, led test lights, because they won’t put any load on the circuit either.
I have a test light, may try that
Good evening Captain!!
I got my T-Shirt. It looks great!!!
Awesome!
Hey Mike, as lots of others are saying, use copper for the oil pressure gauge. Look for a resistor (usually mounted on the box containing the motor/squirrel cage)in the blower motor circuit. In cars the motor speed is varied by the resistor and they fail in the high speed mode for safety-usually with air diverted to defrost.
🤚😉 well not all here ...yet still working on it.
you may want to look into a copper line for the oil line that close
Good video as always mike,you never give up 😎😎😎👍👍👍👨🚒👨🚒👨🚒
I know a guy keeps posting but hey helps out with the channel. On the alternator I’ve tossed a many of those also. An installed a GM one wire self exciting alternator in its place for about 60$
Hey Mike all i can say is that switch doesn't require a ground. It's used in all sorts of stuff for ac not just deere used a few hundred of them myself.

I agree with this viewer. The ground is already connected to the blower. The switch is only needed to control power to the blower. The only reason a switch would need a ground would be if it was backlit and the led needed ground. Great job Mine. Love the tenacity and your willingness to work on almost anything.
Makes sense to me. Just trying to figure out what that wire is for then.
So many things to comment on.... I laughed, I cried, I got jealous..... I hope that alternator is working and the bolt you needed to hold with the plyers is not broken internally. Hope the oil pressure gauge line doesn't melt, the good thing is if it does you will see the pressure drop and know there is some sort of problem, as long as it doesn't happen while you are doing a bunch of digging with the backhoe.
I was digging with mine the other day and then went to move forward and it wouldn't budge, turns out one of my transmission cooler lines sprung a leak and drained all the fluid out... just means another video, this time how to make a hydraulic hose..... it never ends.
Never ends
Hey captain great video you had me crying with the blower motor turned on that is going to be a great help on the homestead 🤙👌✌️👍😎🇺🇲
Non-sequiter; received Captain Kleeman tee shirts yesterday. Very nice quality and worth the wait. Best wishes to you and your family, Mike. The blower fan segment had me rolling! Always laughing with you brother!
Thanks, Mike for taking us along for the ride on this build serious its been great to watch and I had to laugh at you jumping when the blower just cut on😅🤣Mike your NAILING IT 👍👍👍👍
Coming along nicely CPT. You know how many times I have used an under sized socket and beat it on a nut or bolt head to get it off?? It becomes a normal practice once your good at it !!! 😂😂😂 . Can't waite to see her in action 👍👍👍👍
Enjoyable video ... gotta love those "Cleaning" segments. No more "suggestions" but staying "Subscribed" as I can't wait for the arrival of the Goats come Spring. Bon chance mon ami.
Awesome! Thank you!
Your asking for trouble using the plastic line been there done that my tie broke and the plastic line got up against manifold. And you can guess the rest. I was lucky i seen the smoke and cut the truck off . No damage . Went bacl with copper. God bless work safe!

Actually spat my tea out laughing when the blower motor just kicked in!! Love the content Mike! Keep it coming! Also can’t wait to see the forms come off the RUclips yacht!
Hi Hi Captain. Good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Let's go have some fun while fixing things up.
CK, As to your oil pressure line, I would get a 90 degree fitting because if the oil line gets near the hot manifold you could start a fire,. Option 2. Use copper tubing instead of what they supplied you with. Ken
Great progress on this backhoe. The young guys at my buddies shop think I am crazy for rebuilding an engine. Wonder what they would think about you!
The part number for the hydraulic tank to pump suction hose is D1NNE885A.
Be careful when getting close to the unshielded PTO shaft on that pressure washer!
Thanks
That cab might be a lot of work but, just think of the videos we will get to see. 👍👍
great job on plug removal, the true sign of a technician, using what you have and making it work. thinking and working on the go, again great job, love your attitude.
