The project at hand right now is dealing with this excavator I think I ruined the motor. So let's bring it to the shop and figure out what's going on with it. Russ: That thing is just going to fall Is this working or is this stupid? Alfred: The teeth are hitting the truck.. Andrew: I need to get it in further. Might need you to sit there and hold the levers in so the boom can move Russ: You’re in All right, let's get that out. I am going to stay super organized here. I'm going to take a bunch of pictures
in case I have any questions putting it together Things like bolts; to make sure
you put them back right and they don't, you know, in case this is out of here
for weeks, I am putting them right back where they were. So there's no way That way you're not stuck with a pile of bolts
that get lost Is there no coolant in this? wow. That radiator. When this stoped running, it had a temperature light and an oil pressure light,
kind of about the same time this thing didn't have any coolant in it temperature sensor tells it to start Charges it broken wrench Thatwas hitting radiator fan. The fan is hitting that. So I got to say,
there was no steps that I got stuck on Or were frustrating. That came out easy. took 3 hours. I just spoke to the gentleman. I'm going to have helped rebuild this. And he he pretty much said, take everything off of it. I may have ripped that ground strap Maybe that would have came out anyway. What about that one. Lets try them all with this This isn't going to break them That does work Look at that That's definitely an A I was trying to take it
take it apart with timing marks lining up and the weird thing is every rotation makes those closer to each other. I mean, it's like getting further now its two away. that wasn't cooling anything. That needs to be rebuilt Okay, here's the engine rebuild kit. It comes with new sleeves,
pistons, rings, valves, valve guides, connecting rod bearings, piston bearings
and all the gaskets. This should fix it. Joe: It might not get it Andrew: It's quite the setup That should work A couple weeks later
and that is looking brand new entire new center section all soldered together. It's like a brand new radiator. I'm realizing
this looks easy to take off. Yeah, its going 12 point doesn't even bite on it The head was rusted smaller Looks easier to put that engine in now It looks brand new I like how he stamped it was rebuilt 1/24 Joe: Everything went good; the bearings were right,
the seals all went right in it came with new valve
guides and new valves So these are the valves I took out. I didn't bother cleaning them up
because I knew the kit came with new ones. One of those buttons will do it, Good thing I took photos
so I know how it goes back together Look at this line cracked right here. I think this is the reason
why this machine blew up. It slowly
lost antifreeze and overheated. And the person I had operating it
kept starting it and starting it when the temperature light was on
and it kept ceasing up. This already loose? Can I see the frisbee? I’ll throw it for you You don't give it to me. See, that's how it should go. I'm going to line up the timing marks exactly how it was. From the bottom. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. So right there. Pretty clean yeah, look at that. Right down my list. Top hose breather and water pump. little different. You know, I'd rather Use that one Forgot to unhook that I hear a dog knocking Well, hello. This needs to be in here now See, I had this nut and I didn't know where it went. It's got to go somewhere, before
I put this covers back on this thing. This has three nuts on it Easier with a shorter bolt There we go Yeah. I got it Low battery Okay, I mean, it's taken some amps, but not like it should better off
charging batteries up slow but being that its sparking, it is pulling in some amps so that battery might come back the next morning Why is it 16? That’s weird That's weird. Okay, well that's got. That's good. Leaking oil right there And we have an oil pressure warning, lets shut this down Well, it runs Oh, its just loose Make sure the coolant is still full Yeah, its right there That's what it did when it blew up. That makes it quite unplugged Low voltage warning. It's got oil pressure. Okay,
well that's the important thing. I wanted to check that. New oil pressure sensor should be no oil pressure light when it runs. And when I shut it down, we get oil pressure, light and voltage. That means that
oil pressure gauge is working blade control Thats the blade control right there kind of broke this end here. The cable's not seized. Is this supposed to move? Look at that. I think this is it here. The cable moves easy. that should be moving. Dave: Keep going down?
Yeah. Actually, technically,
that can go in place, That works This wrench is broken where it should be right where it should be. Oh, why is there coolant here? that was a little loose I got the right one of these This hour gauge
unfortunately stopped working too. I did test that. I got a new one. Heavy wash This one got pretty messed up. No wonder that wouldn't start. If anyone wants a chance
to own one of those pistons link in the description for that. All right, There it is installed. So there's the inlet right there. Catching any water
coming down the side of the road All of it. And here's the outlet. I am going to put gravel on this
and roll it too All right. Well, I'm going to kind of end this video
on fixing this motor in this excavator
that seems like that works well. This project took almost two years to do,
but I am glad that finally got fixed. I do like this machine. It wasn't high priority
because I do have four machines this size. This is all done.
It's working and let's go work on something else.
