The stump grinder garage

hello guys and welcome to another installment of jake's messy ass garage we're in the garage today working on the rg80 uh just you know general maintenance things like that it's cold outside it's about 16 degrees outside today and it's for a reason so i figured today would be a good day to get in the garage and do some some maintenance things that the you know grinder needs anybody who owns a grinder knows that if you're working it you're breaking it and if you're breaking it you're working on it so it's kind of a vicious cycle um you know doing a little bit of greasing on here um reiko gee thanks for hooking that up they put this grease fitting in a terrible spot here and i like to get it every time it's on the lift here i should probably drill a hole over on this side just to make it a lot easier but these things always fill up with mud and dirt so you got to kind of pick them out of there uh yeah take it for a quick tour of the garage here i guess here's the tool box that's how all the work gets done here i guess this as a u.s general i picked it up over at harbor freight you cannot beat the price on this thing i think it's 200 with a coupon sometimes it's a little cheaper but that's the toolbox it's uh got wheels i i can move this to anywhere i need it to go around here you know i take it all this this thing's probably got 100 miles just in this garage and it's been holding up good i've had this thing probably over a year now lots of room for everything you need sockets wrenches oh what else we got in here that's kind of like a catch-all it's got um oil wrenches and sharpie loctite knives brushes things like that what else do we got um pliers not much to see there extra sockets these are impact sockets so you know you're working on bigger stuff it really comes in handy to have that oh flashlight these are actually really cool too this is magnetic you can stick this to just about anything you want i can yeah if you needed some tools or whatever you could move it around those are handy to have oh yeah just your typical tools things like that uh if you're just getting into this business and you don't have tools you you should be in business yet uh you got to have this type of stuff to work on your machinery because to pay the guys up at rayco vermeer carlton toro wherever um don't mean to leave everybody out or whoever else out but uh this stuff you know you're not gonna wanna take it up there for little things that you know you could do yourself so definitely invest into some tools they got i mean almost all of these tools here from harbor freight i've got a tool box down in my lower garage with really good tools in it and these work just as good as anything else the only thing that i've broken in over a year is this guy uh this is their quinn set and i snapped the back of the handle off and that was just being stupid because i put a big old pipe on it one day and well actually it wasn't even me it was my brother jeremy so um thanks jeremy but it is guaranteed for life so it's not a big deal i take it up there they'll swap it out yeah you can't really go wrong these tool boxes are nice because they got little pockets down here all your longer stuff can stick out the bottom down here too so yeah super super handy to have um yeah and if you you have a toolbox like this then you can work on your own cars and trucks and things like that so i'm back here got some storage same as over there i try to buy all my oil in bulk my truck takes the exact same oil that my grinder takes so it works out really good i think the new grinder that i just ordered takes the same oil too so that's even better corn hole boards i never i never have time to play that shop fan those are nice to have and then your oil catch uh for under the lift so that's that's actually really nice too that's a harbor freight can um 20 gallon so nice and easy you can hook it up to the air compressor too and you can actually blow the oil out of this so it makes it really easy to transfer into other stuff same thing more storage i got stuff everywhere [Music] pockets for green teeth things like that seat covers that i got to put back in the truck blah blah blah that's actually really nice too i think that came from harbor freight too maybe i don't remember that's uh for hauling dirt bikes so i can throw that right on the back of my hitch and you got a nice easy way to do that i've got another tool box here and it's just full of spare stuff drills whatever i've got lots and lots of spare tools everywhere heater like i said it's freezing cold outside this garage isn't insulated very well uh i do have insulation on the walls but nothing in the ceiling but that thing really does a nice job keeping it nice and warm in here uh diesel fuel that runs on or kerosene or whatever torches absolute must especially if you're using ray cote well i mean really any teeth sometimes um them pockets get stuck on and these torches will blow them off real fast nothing to it um chains straps things like that you'll see here i've got a lot of stuff that pertains to motorcycles i haven't i have a motorcycle addiction that's a spare air compressor a buddy buddy of mine left it here and it's been here ever since this corner here is a total disaster at the moment um weed whackers pool pruners things like that that's all just for around my house i don't i don't do any tree service things like that chainsaws up there another saw there i got more saws on the trucks more storage um and you know obviously you gotta have spare hydraulic oil and things like that i got a bird in here see him on that wire up here right about there there he goes that's kind of a problem i don't know they're trying to stay warm i'm fine with it i don't care that's uh there goes that must be daddy up there there's two of them up there they must have had babies anywho i got a lift here it's kind of goofy had to cut it into the ceiling this this used to be a house and i turned it into a garage uh there's a door that kind of it actually has a porch out there too so i got no stairs whatever if you decide to break into this place watch your fall i'm just kidding everything's insured anyways i can't imagine that anybody would want any of this crap anyways but yeah we did put a lift in those are actually really nice and affordable so you can actually pick one of those things up for right around three thousand a little less i did this myself and i'm not very good at i mean i've never done that before my brother my dad my uh myself put that up in a couple hours there really wasn't much to it i knew that i was going to be putting in a lift so the concrete i made really thick right over here and then over here i think i did 14 inches i think it called for eight to ten we want a little bit more not a big deal and then the rest of this concrete here i believe is all six inch pour same thing over here it's a dirty job you've got to try and keep it clean but yeah this uh this lift works really good um some of you automotive guys whatever you'll see this might flip out on me whatever that's literally the only way i can get this thing up off the ground is if i you know put it on the blade the blades all the way in the up position it's not going anywhere and i mean i can i can rock this machine as much as i want and it's not going anywhere so it feels safe up there um well yeah that's about it yeah we got got a wheel seal actually one of these um oh it's hard to see you're not going to be able to see that it's too dark but the wheel motor one of the lines was loose on there i got it tightened up oh later on well probably tomorrow i don't feel like doing anything else today i'm going to pull these belly pans on here and hose the bottom of this out i had another leak inside uh it happens you guys that buy these things and just expect them to be perfect for 10 years and never have to work on it you're an idiot it's not going to happen stop calling the guys at raku and complaining about it because they don't really care about your leaky hose you know with the change in the weather things like that you know the vibrations whatever it's gonna happen i've had quite a few people call me up and say jake i'm constantly tightening hoses and things like that well it's part of it that's just you know i'm not trying to be i'm not trying to be a dick but yeah i mean things like that are gonna happen you're gonna have to work on these machines if there's a company out there that says hey we'll sell you a machine that it's not gonna break down uh buy it but i don't think it exists so you know you'll have to do a lot of this stuff yourself and it's really it's really not that difficult even if you're not mechanically inclined to do stuff i mean if you have an issue with a flat tire you just take a couple bolts off and take the dang tire off of it um pockets on the machine same thing i mean just everything's held together with nuts and bolts it's really not that big of a deal and there's a lot of people out there that'll help you with you know swapping out bearings and things like that if you guys have questions about stuff like that hit me up i'll do what i can to point you in the right direction uh this machine here is going on two years old it's got i don't know probably 800 hours on it now and it hasn't i don't think it's left me stranded at a single job yet uh i better knock on some wood let's let's do that because i don't have time for that but that's it that's my garage uh thanks for taking a tour with me sorry it took so long but uh yeah that's my garage that's how we get by day to day everything you see in here is what i usually use uh nothing more nothing less and if i ever need something i guess just go out and get it but this has got me by the last four or five years so i suggest if you don't have any tools get some you don't have to have a lift but it really makes uh short work of a lot of things and i'm only 34 years old and 33 years old i don't know how old i am but i don't want to lay on the cold ground anymore but that's that um like share subscribe or don't don't really care um you guys have any questions concerns comments uh hit me up in the message section comment section down below and that's all i got for you today have a good day
