Now you need a hydraulic ram for your top link. Makes adjustments easy. God bless
Would be nice
Looks better than rust; hilarious. Great job!
Upgrades to make it more versatile! And some fender modifications for a clean install. Probably could use a spring and strap to secure the hoses (similar to the Mack and its hoses/cables for the trailer connections) on the back.
Love your take on the Challenge Attitude
💪
The Professor would be so proud. Lol God bless
Nice fab work Captain!
Mike, head down to the Derby store lot and take one (even both) of those C&C Equipment mud flaps off the lowboy (The other Mike will not mind-Clint might😂😂 ). Use them on the underside of the fender to protect the hydraulic lines and controller from debris coming off the tracker tires. It's amazing how a stick can ruin a $100 hose (that we just don't have $100 to replace them with)!
BTW, can't wait to see your little tracker use Mike's new Tile Plow! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing, another big job and i learn a lot and always a pleasure watch your video👍👍👍👍
Pipe Thread Tape- works well and little risk of contamination. Just put it on so when you screw the fitting on it does screw the tape off.
Nice job Mike 🏴
Thanks!
Hello; I understand that this is all new to you. You should use stainless steel pipe and fittings when ever possible. Galvanized pipe etc. is bad because the galvanizing will flake off got into your system. If you have to use brass. Does that have an hydraulic filter? If not I suggest putting one in the return line. I suggest that you consider some sort of cover for the valve area. The elements will really mess things up over time. Good job.
Hi captain Mike awesome video
Time to pick on you. You need a new tractor 🚜 oh wait you like the old stuff.
Great job Mike 👏
Thanks mike
Awesome Mike, can't wait to see more videos
You are a very clever nice job I agree less electronics and more mechanical is MUCH BETTER
Thanks!
Great job Captain. The body work is fine. it's a tractor not a show car. God bless
Nice job, anything to make it easier and faster to get things done.
Definitely!
A very nice job. Good video.
Thanks mike
The next time you need hydraulic fittings and or hoses if you haven’t already tried you might check Surplus Center on line it’s where I been getting fittings and hoses for a long time they are dependable and much cheaper than most places. You mentioned many people say not to use thread sealant but I think what they are referring to is Teflon tape. I always use hydraulic approved sealant and have never had a problem. I have a John Deere 1023E that I added the power beyond too and also added a separate electric power hydraulic pump unit that I use on my top link plus a diverter for other rear accessories and it’s much more powerful than the tractor hydraulics
A little pam cooking spray on the areas you don't want spatter on. Hopefully it works as good as it looks.
Great job hope u feel better soon
Fork lift mast would make a heck of a log splitter.
Hey Mike. Just FYI from this old guy, I use mechanical hydraulic systems vs electric over hydraulic when I can. Way more reliable and easier to troubleshoot. Your welding skills sure are getting better. Just takes practice. I bought a cheap set of transfer punches from HF...game changers in fabrication. I also love using the rotary burr tools for deburring edges in tight corners. Hydraulics ain't rocket surgery once you understand them. You have to be careful with them, but they are pretty straightforward. Nice job on the installation/fabrication. Stay safe and thanks for posting.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Make a wood splitter but that big cylinder has a huge bore. Its almost a hydraulic press or maybe a rebar bender for the paddle wheel build?
I have those HF transfer punches.. Pretty freakin good set for $10. 👍
@@mw5905 They work for me.
Great Job as Always!!!
Well done 👍 Bud
Thanks Bobby
Lookin good 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻🚜🚜🚜
Thanks don
Brilliant, well done on such a professional finish!
Sweet your a stud. Nice job capt. 👏
Thanks!
@@CaptainKleeman love your show ❤️ I been disabled and enjoy show.
The fitting on the top of the lift cylinder is to prevent hydraulic lock from oil that has been collected as a result of the scraper ring still leaving a tiny amount of oil on the top of the piston. This over time can build up and cause hydraulic lock if you don't have any way for that built up oil to go.
If in doubt apply the Pythagorean Theorem " The angle of dangle has to equal the lust of thrust providing the urge is constant.
I hope this helps.
Rob Dalton Stafford, England.
I admire your willingness to try and you seem to figure things out ❤
If I had the cash on hand to buy one of these older hydrostatic tractors 🚜 when I was in the market for one I definitely prefer these over the newer ones. They are so much easier to retro fit aftermarket parts and built extremely well.
Nice build Mike!
Thanks Doug
Wonderfully clear video footage and great commentary.
A very tidy job there Captain.👍💞
Nice job "accessorizing" with that green painters tape.. LOL
Lol
Captain thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks for watching Kevin!
If your happy,that's all that matters,right.
I use Teflon tape on all my pipe fittings. Several people I’ve seen on Ytube wrap the pipe 5-6 round, to much. I put 2-3 round and don’t have leaks. Loctite make a thread sealed, lot of people love it. Good job
Mike
Love your videos, sometimes I have trouble sleeping and will play 30 minutes and ready for sleep.
Sometimes when I want to sleep quickly I will watch dirt perfect, man that guy can put me to sleep, please thank him for me. Just joking, you both have great videos
Captain you continue to amaze me with your skills and abilities to disassemble and reassemble and experiment with your implements. Good job Mike.
Looks good
Hi from Brisbane Australia. Mate i love how even if your not shore if something is going to work you still give it a go and just roll with anything that happens keep it up mate your doing great. Your welds are getting better every time you have a go.
Nice job! Fender modification turned out great. Loved your idea for a wind screen, using what you have at hand.
Thanks for another great video.
You need an attachment that builds…a 24’ x 40’ shop for all your projects! 😎
Would be nice
Thanks for the video. Helped answer some of my questions i had. I would like to do something similar to my tractor.
Mike, its been awhile since I felt as though your skills have been tested. Once again you hit a home run. Keep them coming.
Nicely done Cpt. HD is easy. It's all the hoses you got to hook up that's hard. As far as your fits it all wrenches I'm going to sneak over and throw em all away. There only for emergency use only. Guess I'm going to have to buy you some wrenches bud !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣Lol.. starting a new project with my loader. Going to put it on my Bolens 1476. Already bought me 100 cutting wheels 👍👍👍🤡🤡🤡🤡 great job Cpt.
If they work, then they work, which means they work...lol. Thanks for watching
Great. Another project to add to my list! All this grapple talk has me foaming at the mouth. Nice job on this project Mike. Can't wait to see some new attachments added now too!
Everyone who is anyone needs a minimum of 12 projects. I read it in an article I believe
As a fireman you make a great fabricator (fabi) 🇦🇺😉
Nice job Mike!!
Glad to see the hard work and self reliance you keep showing. Like the old saying goes..
“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
I hope and pray more people find it within themselves to do more on there own!!
Excellent work thx for sharing and inspiring the masses
💪
Nice work. The possibles are endless
Definitely!
Great work. You amaze me every time you tackle a project. Welding is getting better as well. I'd never get that back together. Also, you can always run a brace from your bracket to the bolt hole on the seat frame if needed later.
Flip the cylinder over to convert it into a log splitter. Or into a bumper jack of sorts. Or even a fork lift. Small farm lifting bails of hay to a loft, wood to the loft/ roof. Not meaning extra heavy loads but lighter loads that’s repeated over and over. And again no camera drop. Wifey been cracking that whip. Lol. As always very interesting job.
Nice job on the install. My 955 should have the same thing done to it.
It's gonna be handy
Michael, You amaze me. I'd like to take lessons from you on your research process.
I didn't realize how the new circuit worked, ie., power beyond to the valve body and valve body lines to your implements. I mounted my valve body on a the
loader mounting beam with levers pointed at my right hand.
Well Done Laddie!!!!!
Nice job. I ordered two rear remotes and detent valves on my 2018 John Deere. It wasn't cheap, good that you installed these yourself. You did a great job fabricating this.
It is great watching you pull together a vision into a functioning outcome. Love it.😁👍😁
Thanks David
thanks for the video Captain 💪
💪
Figuring out how to do this has been on my list since I bought a 955 last October after seeing you have so much fun with the 755! I just finished rebuilding the engine it lost compression from being warn out. Just started it for the first time last week. It was my first time doing anything like that. Great video! Thank you for doing the research for me!
Captain, I'd say you did a pretty good job on the planing, fabrication and installation of that system.
I also seriously agree with keeping it non-electrinic as it'll keep down on future problem issues associated with electronics exposed to weather.
Yuppers, pretty good for a part-timer tractor mechanic 🚜 .
I enjoyed this ! I have done this exact thing while rigging up a trencher attachment and I learned a bunch about all the different fittings and seals. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely a learning experience
I love the old school, simple, manual stuff too Mike. Way easier to track down a problem. I say remake the fly sections for the lift out of something lighter and make it into a man lift for out trimming trees or house work. Thanks for sharing
Looks perfect to me. Nice work! And thanks for the tutorial on types of fittings.
Thanks Dennis!
I suggest that you consider some sort of cover for the valve area. The elements will really mess things up over time and it well help protect it from stuff hitting it as so drive over stuff.
Brilliant video
Thanks
I forgot to call into work today, so I'm 11 hours late getting to the party..... any beer left?? 🍺 lol
Awesome job! 👍
Always!
Great educational video, enjoy all your videos because you do research and show how the research works and how things can be done
Thanks Charles
Nicely done capt!. Got to love those old green monsters. Great little machines!
Definitely!
Good morning from Fl.
Love your vids.
You and your beautiful family
make my day.
Thanks for watching!
I'm always impressed with your ideas and solutions. Keep it up!
Thanks don
Nice and simple system that’s got to be the way to go :) another good project you have done and shared with us :)
Great video, loved it .
Thanks andy
Instead of a welding stick get yourself a couple of straws that come with a slurpy/icee,it's got the little shovel,works perfectly✌️ Napa California
Good idea
Mike, that turned out awesome!!! When I had my 955 I had the factory power beyond because I had the backhoe. I often wondered if it would have had enough power to run a 3pt mounted log splitter. Never got around to trying that. I sold that 955 to a retired Lieutenant on EPD. I’ll just tell you that when your on the Lloyd going into Newburgh right off the Lloyd on Bell Rd is a place called Sisco’s American Hose & Hydraulics. Those guys are fantastic. They have helped me out with quite a bit for my old 955 and my skid steer. You ever need anything that’s a good place to stop sometime. Keep up the good work my friend.
It looks good Mike. You did a Great job on the Valve body..Great Video Sir...
Thanks Thomas
It looks great the welding the placement of hydrochloric system you did a great job
Thanks Richard
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Already looking forward to seeing the next video. Stay safe
Thanks for watching
Damn it Mike, give yourself more credit and don't let dp see this video cause expectations have been bumped up quite a bit 👍😂👍
Very nice job indeed Capt, very professional and clean look not toention the protection provided from branches and vines in the woods. The video was certainly worth the wait. Big fan of the k.i.s.s fashion in which you did it. Only makes sense to stay mechanical on such a machine not to mention the added ruggedness, reliability and simplicity of such a system when it comes to standing the test of time. Just gotta be sure to shut machine off before unhooking power beyond kit. My old man made that mistake once with his JD 1070 and the pump was not happy by anymeans 😬. Can't wait to see the future attachments you build to utilize the system. As always keep up the great work my man 😁 👍
Nice job! Glad you went under the fender. Looks much cleaner and not cluttered! I would try to protect the valve body from mud and water some way? Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome job Mike. Those wields are looking great.
Thanks Jimmy
Cap’n, I’m not a hydraulic expert nor do I play one on RUclips… but looking at your plumbing from my arm chair here in the Ozarks… it looks perfect!
Under mounting the valve was the right way to go. The hose connections where you can easily access them is smart. (Something Kubota could learn from. My third function hoses require hands about the size of a mouse to install.) Your body work looks great… and leaks? Well sir, that is part of the rust retardant plan.
A forklift mechanic that I worked with gave me advice on thread seal for NPT fittings. He said, put a small bead around the male end. Start it about two threads above the end. Once tight, wipe the excess off so it won’t accidentally contaminate the liquid if you ever have to take it loose. So far, it has worked for me on oil, water, air and gas lines!
Cap’n you’ve opened up a ton of options for the 755… I can hardly wait to see what you fab up next!!!
Thanks for the tip! And can't wait to start fabricobbling up some new implements!
Nice work on the fender mods!
Thanks!
I bought a system that is a plug and play. Works great and didn't have to do much, took about 15-20 mins to install. The cost difference between the OEM system and the one I have was also a major decision as to why I got it over the other. As always great video.
Great job
Thank you
Hey captain great video 😌✌️👌😎🇺🇲👍
Thanks Ken
Mike use the fork system to make an outside lift to work on heavy equipment. A hydro top link would be a good first power beyond fixture.
top and tilt for the 3-point. Quick ways to put the extra functions to work.
also a way to learn to want more hydraulic functions, because you just used up the 2 you added.
At 8.26, " I wish I had a good way to hold that back together" Try poking it all back through in the right order as you did, then using a reasonably large Cable Tie/ Ty-Wrap/ Buckle Tie, or whatever you call them over there and put it around the thread tight to the washer and pull up TIGHT. Leave the 'tail' long, less scratched arms that way, and the buckle/ratchet chamber/ zippy bit should stop the bolt or screw going back through. you can use as many as you can, all at differing angles to make sure, but not often needed if they are at least 1ft /300mm long, as the size of the buckle is usually ok. If you don't have at least one pack of ties of that size, yo have not lived the life of a Field service engineer, I've used so many as temporary help, and occasionally one or two as permanent solutions (daisy-chained to hold cold/warm hoses out of the way of moving belts etc), over the years, and they are thermo-plastic so can be easily recycled.
And those self-locking nuts with a ring of plastic in them 'Nyloks', If you have to re-use them, and they have been re-used before, the stores are closed, it's raining and 10pm and the job can't wait, put them on an anvil of some sort (a flat rock will do) and TAP the top down on one side to squash the plastic so the screw thread has to cut again. Don't squash all around, the screw will push all the plastic out and waste your time! You can only do this once up to about 5/8 or 16mm nuts, but they hold ok for years when you do.
Great video!
Thanks Scott
Professor strikes again... nice!
💪
You done well like your idea of no electric over hydo. Keep it simple 👍👋🇨🇦
Thanks Alan
Good job lieut keep it up keep them coming thanks for sharing
Thanks Kyle
Love your videos, you can use Teflon tape, just start the tape one to two threads from the end. Just don’t start the tape over the end of the fitting. Works just fine. Keep up the great work.
I agree with your no electronics on this tractor. Looks good. Your welding is getting better.
Thanks Chuck!
I enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching Joyce
Nice weld on that bracket adjustment! The fender welds were also good for metal that varied so much in thickness.
Thanks Travis!
Hi Hi Captain. Good morning greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. See you fallowing in the steps of DP. Lots of upgrade going on over there. Guess u will be adding Lazer guided also 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Let's go have some fun 😊😊
Thanks for watching lloyd
If you are happy with the installations then that's all that matters after all you are the one using it. The range of new operations sound great. Lovely weather for the task.
Thanks heather!
Hi Mike! You know I have been waiting for weeks for this video since you hinted with that valve at the Derby that day! Lol! You did a fantastic add on and you are going to wonder how you got along without it for so long. I use my setup almost daily for some kind of implement. I put a cylinder on my top link and the left 3 point link and the things you can do with a box blade are amazing. Only suggestion is put all female couplers on that valve. Maybe it's what works in your area but around my parts there is alot of agriculture and every implement is set up with two male ends. I can hook to anything i beg borrow or steal Lol!
