Eric, thanks for the videos. I'm a disabled veteran, and it seems like my body is just deteriorating from all the meds I am on. I ran the weed eater for 5 minutes this week and my muscles are so sore I feel them at the slightest movement. I grew up on a farm, and I got it in my system, I can't drive my riding lawnmower without it causing a firestorm of aches. I really have enjoyed being your side. Kick. You are very generous. Thanks again. JD from Alabama.
That's not bad. When they started turning the engines sideways in the cars 250 transmission for the front wheel drive on the 87 Oldsmobile you had to take off part of the passenger side fender well to get to the filter.( "To position the transaxle".) I usually change what autocorrect puts in there but this time I thought it was hilarious what it thought I said.
@@EFCasual There is a small plug right under the filter housing that can be removed & put a small container under it so it will drain the oil from the filter before removal, but sometimes, when time doesn't allow, it is much faster to just let the oil run down the frame. Going to powerwash anyway.
Mom and I took over Dad’s farm after he passed.... I’m grateful I helped Dad fix things, and I can use tools... but glad to have your tips on things I didn’t do often... like tractor stuff.... thank you!
4240 is one of of the best John Deere's large farm I work for has one on the mixer for the past 15 years. It had 25,000 hours on and they had to rebuild the motor, it's now pushing 60,000 and only major break was a new injection pump this summer.
We switched over to a10w-30 oil for colder weather and it makes it a ton easier to crank a diesel in cold weather. When it warms up the next oil change is back to the 15w-40 and we have no issues with wear on the engines. Just an FYI for you.
Your little smirk when putting on the safety glasses made me chuckle. Love your content of your videos. You do a great of making the simple tasks interesting.
Sign the covenant: "We the undersigned do solemnly pledge not to point out the obvious to 10thGD recognizing that Eric is profoundly intelligent and is probably doing so anyway."
I laughed so hard when you put your safety glasses on maybe now RUclips will promote you. Clean machinery is my pet peeve, a clean machine keeps making money. Good video Eric, Aloha brother🤙🏼from the Big Island
Which one is the bid Island? Your other things(editing is) a little sketchy, but I totally agree with you on keeping the Machinery clean. You let the ink build up too much( and as much as){ it will smudge} the bills and then you're finished making money. You see you got to go back and check your comments at least two or three times because that little programmer in Sri Lanka thinks we don't speak the Queens English so good and likes to change everything you said with talk to text
So glad to see you continue to post! Big BIG "Thank You" for all your hard work "keeping in the loop" those who choose to be (and those who are are forced to become) armchair farmers. I love seeing what you're up to everytime you post a daily farm task. I miss using all the varied skills required to productively till God's Green Earth! Keep it real. Ps 143:8 Let me hear your loyal love in the morning...make known to me the way I should walk... FarmerMJ
Never commented before but will do because it helps you out with you tube! Love your videos, not a farmer but live in a rural area where farming is a major industry. Actually find the vids relaxing, bit if escapism I guess! Thank you for making the effort. Keep up the good work!
Yard tractors and skid loaders are the most heartly abused machines on the farm. My Dad used to get hysterical when I'd pull our 4020 in the shop till I'd mention how many hours were on it! Still have it 1969 model with side counsel!
Hi Eric. We love to watch your videos. We are big fans of your farm. We have a small holding in Co Kerry, Ireland and one day we hope to we as much machinery as you. Hi from Robbie, Lila and Ogie.
Love your channel for someone who loves milk, I say thank you for all your family does to keep the shelves full. God bless you guys with many years of amazing cows that produce maximum quality milk for you.
Looks clean! You can order whole new decals for the kabota. They are not hard to take off and easy to put new ones back on. It is nice to have things look good for at least a few years.
I use a piece of expanded metal screen on my bucket. This way I can drop the plug on the screen and not get my hands covered with waste oil. Love your videos. From BC.
Sorry I cannot afford your tshirts , I’m COVID poor but I try to watch all the ad’s and support you in every way I can! I love your farm family life Eric! Your Dad too!
The inside of the cab looks like a well used farm machine. I think I once suggested that Eric wear safety glasses. Nothing like the satisfaction of watching crud come off with the power washer. I ordered my shirt and am looking forward to wearing it. Thanks for the fun and interesting video.
Love your videos..... I know this comment has nothing to do with today’s video but haven’t seen your lovely doggies for ages especially Sasha with the twigs/leaves in her mouth ❤️
Whoever sent you the filter wrench, good job, I don't do maintenance on Motors of any kind but I remember from my auto shop class way back in high school, those are incredibly useful tool. Great video.
Those rotary nozzles are nice.... they remove a lot of material, very quickly. But remember.... that's basically zero degree tip. It's just moving in a circle. I've stripped a lot of labels (and paint) off of equipment with those. They'll also put water where you don't want it... inside seals, inside bearings, under o-rings.... Good call on the safety glasses.... gave me a chuckle. :)
That's not old. It runs on diesel and has more than two Pistons, that you turned over by hand with a large heavy flywheel to start it, with a tricycle front end, and a hand clutch. Now that's old. Oh yeah, and across from the flywheel is a flat belt pulley to run the threshing machine, and grinding mill.
Oil keeps the rubber seal from bunching up and causing it to leak. My dad taught me that as well. Channel lock pliers can open the lid on a 55 gallon drum. Open them up all the way and lay them flat.
Hey man I live on a dairy farm and I am a full time heavy duty mechanic, I find it funny that people try to tell you how to work, now for all you pros out here oil will make your o ring swell and it makes it harder to remove and may cause a leak. You should use vaseline, engine grease etc with a light a mount you silly goofy potatoe heads any way I love your content man I dont care if you put peanut butter on that o ring its your farm and your equipment thanks for sharing!
LMAO when you looked at camera and put glasses on. You and your family take great care of your dairy farm, keep it up and keep giving viewers something to comment on
What.... no safety glasses while pressure washing???? 😂😂😂. Awesome video doing maintenance. Looking forward to getting my long sleeve shirt!! Cool design 👍🏻👍🏻
Eric, thanks! I have learned so much. Could you please make a video explaining what all the levers do in the tractors and skid loaders? I'll prolly never get to drive them, so it would be cool to know. Thanks! Blessings to you and yours.
Trick for opening the bungs on the 55 gallon drums of Oil, use Channel Locks. Just set the jaws so when you squeeze the handles the jaws fit in the bung plug, then turn it like a wrench.
Drum opening! You picked the second hardest way 😟 there are lots of different combinations to choose so I’ll just go with the same tools you had ok. The drift bar , place it vertical next to lug in cap n hold, claw of the hammer 🔨 behind other lug but horizontal as you can. Rotate. Now your smart enough to work out the rest 👍
Looks like the 4240's engine could use a power washing...Great to see you wearing safety glasses...And now you're power washing the 4240 and the new'ish Kubota. Eric - thanks for the video - it was fun to watch. Stay safe and say "Hi" to dad.
I’ll add a comment not only because I’ve been meaning to but to boost your RUclips stats. Like others love the dry humour here and there & the experiences you share. Keep it up!
With the tractor waste oil if you put it into a barral/container and put wooden stakes in and soke them in it, it makes the stay in the ground much longer and prevents them from rotting as much
Should think about a rock screen for a back window instead of new glass. I've used square hole fencing, rivet to an angle bar frame, and if you wish, you can use plexiglass or Lexan to line the inside of the screen to keep the dust out. That screen on the gates keeping the cows in, but letting air flow in and out, would work just as well as any other metal screen you can buy in hardware stores.
Had a rock come sailing at my head shattered the glass. A little scary😂😂 I’ll think about putting that in the video Lol 😂 safety glasses look. Pure upbeat great video THANKS 😍
Do you ever get very annoyed? No matter what happens you always describe it as a little bit of a problem, a bit of trouble... I appreciate the positive attitude.
Thanks for all the fresh milk for my cereal and cream for my coffee, butter 🧈 for my flapjacks 🥞 and so many other great dairy 🥛 greatness feeding us all!!!

Thank you for your service.
Me too!
I always look forward to your “dry” humor in your videos. Got myself a hoody ordered about a week ago. Can’t wait to get it in!!
Thanks for continuing the family tradition of farming and making time to bring us along. American agriculture feeds the world.
You gotta love that filter position. Makes a oil change extra messy.
That's not bad. When they started turning the engines sideways in the cars 250 transmission for the front wheel drive on the 87 Oldsmobile you had to take off part of the passenger side fender well to get to the filter.( "To position the transaxle".) I usually change what autocorrect puts in there but this time I thought it was hilarious what it thought I said.
Yeah, that position is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with an oily frame.
@@EFCasual There is a small plug right under the filter housing that can be removed & put a small container under it so it will drain the oil from the filter before removal, but sometimes, when time doesn't allow, it is much faster to just let the oil run down the frame. Going to powerwash anyway.
You iced out the "safety patrol" viewers with that subtle silent grin in putting those safety glasses on. Pretty slick. ; )

👍🏻👍🏻.... and then didn’t wear it them pressure washing. Hilarious 😂 😂😂
Its funny cause you see this comment before opening the actual comment section, so I was just waiting for it to happen. Didn't disappoint🤣
I just take my pliers and open the jaws across the bung and open it that way. But always seem to use the chisel on the breather bung 🤦🏻♂️😂
Hahaha hilarious... where can I get a shirt???
Love those are chair expert’s
Sign the covenant: "We the undersigned do solemnly pledge not to point out the obvious to 10thGD recognizing that Eric is profoundly intelligent and is probably doing so anyway."
He certainly knows more then me when it comes to tractors.
Haha profoundly intelligent? Not sure I'd go that far. I still have a lot to learn
I affirm!
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 That is the sign of a truly intelligent person.
Never stop learning!
Ini adalah video peternakan terbaik yang pernah saya lihat 🇲🇨🇲🇨
The content that you provide is very real and very practical. Thank you very much for sharing.
The decals on the skid loader sure peeled off easy. I remember when they were pained on with a stencil.
With 267K subscribers, it would be nice if the local dealership replaced the decals.

you have made this pandemic a little bit easier to get through. My husband and I look forward to every "episode"
Cant understand why i enjoy this type of video so much!!!
Hi Erik, my wife Vickie and I love your channel. Thanks for share your work with us.
Did you say 17,000 hours? What a wonderfully reliable machine. Thanks again for a crisp presentation.
Hi Eric. We love to watch your videos. We are big fans of your farm. We have a small holding in Co Kerry, Ireland and one day we hope to we as much machinery as you. Hi from Robbie, Lila and Ogie.

Love the 4240! Love that it is part of your childhood memories too!
I don't think I've ever ordered a hoodie so fast 😂 glad to be able to support you after all the entertainment you provide!
Handy tractor, hard to beat a 2wd on feeder ,keep up the great work Eric and co
OH, THE JOYS OF HAVING A CHANNEL! Have to laugh at what you have to go through. Congratulations for doing so for us.
You truly are a hard worker. Thank you
Nice 42. My boss started with a 4230 and a five bottom plow back in 73, and let's just say 8000 acres later, we're at were we are today.
Love your content! I think people would love more interaction with the cow ! The video you made were they were jumping and running outside was great !
That whole safety glasses bit cracked me up dude...thanks
Your power washer skills are spectacular 👍🏼
Looks clean! You can order whole new decals for the kabota. They are not hard to take off and easy to put new ones back on. It is nice to have things look good for at least a few years.
GREAT JOB ERIC A GOOD LEARNING VIDEO FROM A GOOD YOUNG TEACHER THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO 👍🇺🇸
We had a new 3020 JD when I was a kid. - Nice to see yours cleaned.

I'll leave you a comment just to help you out in the algorithm! The oiling the o-ring dilemma was pretty funny! Lol
I think the best part about being a farmer is the variety of thinks you can do in a day I wish my job was like that
Good job on showing the filter seal. Comment for you tube benefit.
Really like the turbo tip on the pressure washer.
Love how honest you are 😊👍🏼
The inside of the cab looks like a well used farm machine. I think I once suggested that Eric wear safety glasses. Nothing like the satisfaction of watching crud come off with the power washer. I ordered my shirt and am looking forward to wearing it. Thanks for the fun and interesting video.

Awesome video as usual. As fellow farmers and neo-youtubers you're a constant inspiration. Keep it up! Kudos from Italy 🇮🇹
LOVE the maintenance videos. Keep them coming
Love your videos..... I know this comment has nothing to do with today’s video but haven’t seen your lovely doggies for ages especially Sasha with the twigs/leaves in her mouth ❤️
My Father love his John Deere when he was farming. It was sure a step from a team of horses.
Ordered a long sleeve shirt. Can’t wait to get it. Love your content. Keep up the good work.
of course you'll now get the "You applied the oil in the wrong direction " comments lol
He needs to rotate the air in the tires next! Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jolive7953 that's a bugger to do when they're full of chloride.
Earl Hollar drain the chloride into the empty oil drum. 😂
And you didn't wipe down the oil filter housing. Good job, I always enjoy watching your dairy operations. Keep the milk flowing...
Hello Eric, thanks for the video. I always look forward to the next one. Stay healthy and safe. God bless you and your family.

The dilemma about oiling the gasket 😂. At least your honest about it! Haha! Great video as always!
Loved this episode...anytime someone is maintaining their property or equipment is like one of my favorite things. I’m a neat freak I guess!!!

Oh yeah, and across from the flywheel is a flat belt pulley to run the threshing machine, and grinding mill.
The smile when putting the glasses on was precious
From a non-farmers perspective there is nothing better than seeing the equipment getting a nice pressure wash.
Thanks for cleaning the machinery.
Thanks for sharing part of your day. Wix makes good filters. Our local parts store is actually running their annual wix filter sale, time to stock up.
Look forward to your posts - funny how one chore leads to another, but pressure washing actually looks like fun! Thanks for sharing- God Bless!
Oil keeps the rubber seal from bunching up and causing it to leak. My dad taught me that as well. Channel lock pliers can open the lid on a 55 gallon drum. Open them up all the way and lay them flat.
I love that universal bung wrench for opening the new oil drum.
I always thought that was the universal bearing race locking collar wrench?
Nope.... that’s the wrench you use to set the spring in your pocket watch!!

Just dropping a line congratulating you on the oil you put on the rubber ring.
With the tractor waste oil if you put it into a barral/container and put wooden stakes in and soke them in it, it makes the stay in the ground much longer and prevents them from rotting as much
Should think about a rock screen for a back window instead of new glass. I've used square hole fencing, rivet to an angle bar frame, and if you wish, you can use plexiglass or Lexan to line the inside of the screen to keep the dust out. That screen on the gates keeping the cows in, but letting air flow in and out, would work just as well as any other metal screen you can buy in hardware stores.
