The guys that call people out like that are just internet experts and usually don't know their ass from their head. They come to watch and learn from him, but when they see something where they think they know better they run their mouths to feel better about themselves. But if you put them in a situation where they were isolated with limited resources they'd fail miserably. When it comes down to it every experienced mechanic knows there's more than one way to make most repairs and get a good, safe,reliable repair. Seriously it's a old tractor and not a F-16 we're talking about.

We're talking a complete woodworking shop and a combination metal lathe and mill. He used things like scrap I beams, rail road track, rebar etc. It was all done during Communism and it's how he made extra money.

One learns with experience, it's always good to "have a look" first. "throwing parts" at things is the expensive way to trouble-shoot. Find the problem/issue first. That will lead you to the most "expedient" solution. "Building a scenario" usually turns out to be a concept that is WAY MORE COMPLICATED then the actual problem once it is discovered. Anyone who fixes lots of things they are not "expert/familiar" with has had that experience.

Jonathan I have spent thousands of hours in the seat of those case backhoes. Starting with the 480 construction king. Earned a great Iiving for 43 years with rubber tire backhoes. You are missing a short hydraulic cylinder between the right side loader arm and hoist cylinder. It is a equalizer cylinder to keep same pressure between both lift cylinders. That backhoe has a lot of life left. Love all your videos and watch every one. You and your family keep safe.

The at the time biggest tunnel construction company in the us SE HEALEY FROM ILLINOIS WAS FINISHING A TUNNEL IN NEW YORK. THEY NEEDED A D6 SO THEY BOUGHT ONE AND FINISHED THE JOB IN TBE MID 1980S THEY SOLD THE COMPANY. AND DID A INVITORY OF ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT AROUND THE WORLD IN THE BACK. OF THEIR WAREHOUSE FOUND THE LONG FORGOTTEN 1958 D6 WITH 80+ HOURS ON IT. They shipped it to Washington state to finish another tunnel. Then it was put on a piece of ground they leased to store equipment. But the guy they leased the ground from was allowed free use of it. Its still there far as I know age doesn't mean shit it's condition

Glad you figured out the steering problems, I've no idea what that part in the ram was , but it's amazing whats found sometimes that don't belong. The slew cylinder seals were leaking hydraulic oil into the slew rack gear box and pushing the gear oil and hyd oil mix out the top on my JCB backhoe loader. I got the new seals cheap from Ebay and pulled the cylinders off. On one side there was a nice shiny 1/4 thread grey iron pipe cap fell out. why the heck somebody put that in there I have no idea as it wouldn't fit through the hydraulic system and fittings to get in there. Luckily it hadn't got crushed up or scored anything while the machine was working with it in there either. Thanks for the video, Take care

Back when I worked for a utility contractor... Operators worked and beat the day lights out of them ( not in a abusive way) in the areas we had to go through at times clearing a path through woods to trench through or plow cable ..digging boulders it took 2 hoe's to move ...they remind me of the oldctimex commercial.. " takes a licking and keep on ticking" or the energizer bunny .. " just keeps going and going and going"
