Camarata and Diesel Creek both doing roller videos this week. I'm just picking I like watching these types of projects keep them coming.
He has the kind of roller I actually want, just much too cheap to buy, he’s had to be around $8000 I have less than $1000 invested in this
@@DieselCreek i watched his vid too,i didnt see were that roller attachment was worth any thing,i wouldnt spend the money,
@@aintskairtolskol9520 If you are a company, you have to invest, otherwise you waste your money into taxes and loose competiveness. If you see 8k over 10 or more years, its a joke.
@@ingo_8628 yea he’s got a real business mine is just a hobby business, eventually I’ll go legit I think but right now it’s just not worth it
@@aintskairtolskol9520 It seemed kind of janky to me, I'm sure he'll reinforce it soon.
Finally, one who does not like straight pipes.
I have been driving trucks for about 35 years
and I know that mufflers are very good.
Indeed! My pick up truck is straight piped and it’s fine under normal driving, but when towing it gets awful annoying
I've heard it, but it's a V8, right?
@@makingithappen5178 yes, and I only did it for the performance gains I never wanted it to be loud it’s just an unfortunate side effect
@@DieselCreek But a V8 has the right to rumble. At least that was the case when I was young, in the 70's in Sweden.
Admire the way you solve problems and take on all kinds of challenges, especially on those cold, wet days...! Being from Hawaii, can't imagine such conditions! Keep up the great work and we'll keep watching! Aloha!
Great job fella. I know this sounds stupid but every time I watch someone welding as soon as they strike an arc I look away 🤣
Me too! Old habits die hard I guess.
@@bmacd2112 yeah
Me too! So glad it's not just me! haha
Not stupid......good practice!
I meant on the video 🤣🤣
The wheels rising, one at a time, no less, definitely wasn't expecting THAT!
It’s a pretty slick old unit!
“This task needs beer” like!!!
Yeah a nice cold bottle of ROLLING ROCK!
tractor needs cup holders.
bigrockauto Abita Amber here. It’s a local brewery on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Abita Springs, LA
I do not drink any more! Or any less!😁
Good job! Now you've out-Camarataed Camarata. Camarata is famous for improvising old equipment.......but you improvised an ancient compacting roller when Andrew bought a new one.
It was not my intention, I had this video planned before he released his And I was disappointed to see that he did not fix the one he bought, I’m a big fan of his and he must be doing well because he is buying lots of new equipment I see
@@DieselCreek Yeah, I was hoping he was going to fix the old roller he picked up too. Buying new ended up being a boring video. Keep fixing up old stuff Matt! That's why I come here!
@@dyamariv3628 I didn't think it was boring at all, never seen that ss attachment. sometimes it isn't worth fixing, and that one looked like a nightmare to fix and load on a trailer.
@@ivrunner5043 I agree it seemed to be a nightmare, I enjoyed his video and actually want one of those for my skid steer but they are like $8000 plus
@@DieselCreek you will get there. thats youtube money and he's been at it awhile. Iv'e been watching both channels since begining. yours are just as entertaining, and well produced. its only a matter of time. keep up the good work
As someone with zero knowledge about engines and electronics, I feel really relatable to that zip tie fix. That's something I could still probably manage! ;)
Sometimes the simple fix is the best fix
Not sure that zip-tye fix is the best idea. I think it would limit full operation (over speed) of the governor. A heavier spring or shorter spring might be a better solution.
@@davidkepley4396 I agree, even the uv resistant black zip tie will eventually break down, and of course at wrong time. Im surprised that the solenoid shaft isn't adjustable for this exact purpose.
This is a really cool project. The remote throttle actuation takes it a bit outside of the ordinary. How come it doesn't have its own playlist? It deserves one! I'm new to your channel and the playlists are a really nice way to go through old videos.
Thanks for the great entertainment!
That is a very handy piece of gear for small jobs. Your run/idle solution is ingenious. Good job! 👍
Very cool drag behind Vibratory Roller Neet how it keeps itself Upright while Pulling Matt very cool to see this old equipment Being Worked 23:44 @Diesel Creek
Paint looks fine to me. You would have had to do a lot of metalwork to get a new looking result. It's always amazing how you can cobble something out of junk.
I just hate seeing brush strokes, spraying it would’ve looked much better
@@DieselCreek I know what you mean. Is that sandable paint? Something like Rustoleum oil base is hard to sand. but maybe next year if it still bothers you, sand and spray it again. You might need to make a paint booth for your crusty equipment to get painted in.
Andrew Camarata (youtuber) bought a huge Hyster vibratory roller, which ran great, but had a hydraulic leak. Asking price was $2000.00. he bought it and found it to be too hard to work on, and too big for what he needed. So he bought one that fit his skid steer. And sold the Hyster, probably for a profit.
@@markeholbrook yes I saw that, I watch his channel avidly I know he sees some of my stuff because we talk occasionally I was disappointed he didn’t fix that thing it was neat!
@@DieselCreek Few weeks with the gear oil and diesel leaks and the paint would have looked like shit either way
It’s only a roller not a Ferrari.
Yep that job needs beer, add a can holder to your tractor fender, as your all set.👍 Great job on the compactor.
If a jobs worth doing it's worth doing with a beer 🍺
I like drinking OSHA brand beer whilst on a job like this! 😉
You are gonna end up with a museum of old equipment
and im completely okay with that haha
@@DieselCreek Totally agree. You only need to start worrying if people think you are one of the museum exhibits.
Pre Chinesium era quality👍🍺
When Matt retires ( ? ) his followers will flock to his museum of machinery to reminisce over old times ! ❤
Fun to watch the gears turning as you worked out the solenoid issue(s), you found a way to make it happen. This Roller/Compactor makes for a perfect tool for creating a hardpack surface. Takes quite a few steps to do it right. That road will be there for a very long time, especially with you maintaining it as you will.
*Nice job putting this all together to make something that works, Matt.*
Marty-T would love one of those.
That's solid Matt. Love the way you man handled the throttle problem. It looks great!
As a retired mechanic of over 50 years who has done a good bit of welding. I must say that weld is not bad. It may not look like a weld a professional welder might make[after all he welds every day], but that is just a pretty good weld. Not bad at all.
Great job, great tool, neighbor did a great job helping too , even if you would have done it differently, which shouldn't be mentioned. Really love your videos. Thanks man!
The engine cover is brill👍
Last thing to do is put a solenoid on the stop lever and wire it to a red button on your remote throttle box. Realistically, it wouldn't take much to move it all onto a remote box including automating raising and lowering the wheels, starting the engine. Three position toggle switch, centre off, and solenoid valves on the pneumatics. Still, looking good so far. Amazing progress considering its just a side project. Keep on and stay safe in this crazy world. :D
At fifty feet or fifty mph paint looks good enough for me but I'm a dirty neck Alaskan. I have got to admit that I expect a minimum of take two, three and counting at the cost of your own pride cause that always happens to me also. You might have to add a counter balance on the tail end of things to get best compression cause thats a very small compactor that would do floors and lots of stuff where cement comes into place. I sure do laugh when your expecting it to start or you forget the key, its little things like that that keep me grounded. No matter what, I always looked for guys like you who could think on their feet and fix/redo something to make life better when I was logging. I see so many things that could keep me occupied till I tip over (73) which is odd to me each morning. I never took care of me when younger and severely paying for it now. You have a slice of heaven for the meantime till tourists see how nice it is.
Tourists aren’t the issue out here it’s the oil and gas industry trying to build refineries all over the hillsides
You have the best opening on CZcams Baahaa
Well thank you!
Bad wiring might have been switch issue from get go but I got it Hope seal is fixable. Enjoyed. Congrats on another successful big project
That's honestly a brilliant find, using an ignition switch for the solenoid. I would've massively over complicated this if I had to build it myself, and probably would've ended up with two switches. This is so much cleaner and easier.
I don't think your switch is the issue though, unless there's a big resistor inside the switch. If it was trying to pull in the solenoid, and that would take so much current, the switch would heat up pretty quickly. Your new setup is probably the same what I would've ended up with.
i wonder if it was the old corroded wiring
It was likely just voltage drop over such a long cable. Thicker cable lowered the voltage drop. Putting a relay closer to the battery and solenoid probably would have fixed it also.
The key switch would have worked if the wiring had been good. You should have checked over the wiring before giving up on the key switch.
Matt, You could have used a single circuit to the solenoid. When the solenoid moves, you could open the current path to the pick part of the solenoid using that motion to push a momentary switch. Using a little lever and a spring, you could limit the amount of push on the switch to simulate a thumb push. Of course, you have what you need but this would have done the job with two wires to the tractor. That Kubota is a massive upgrade to the original motor. Nice bench lathe!
Love ya work. Thanks for sharing. Could we possibly see an update on the crane truck you recently changed the engine in? Just at the end of this video noticed it with the boom up in the air & legs out. Cheers Billy J.... Queensland Australia.
There will be a video coming soon!
Paint looks perfect from where I am (Houston)...best part is the drum 1/2 painted. It’s for safety, you can see when it’s rolling! Keep up the great work, I look forward to the vids each week! I hope you don’t mind the good natured comments and my lame attempts at humor.
I appreciate all comments! Thanks for watching!
I must say I'm impressed with your all around knowledge and your ability to push through and get it done.
The result is really great with this.
The only thing I may have done differently is have the gauges where you can see them from the driver seat of the tractor, or at least a couple of warning lights on the "remote control" that would tell you if oil pressure was low or temp was too high.
Took a couple of years, but the result was great.
I need a man like this in my life.
Good luck ! There aren't many "men" around these days, just "soy boys"
You won't find them at the local fern bar. Hang out at the hardware store and pick one without a wedding ring who doesn't talk all the time and is dirty. You can clean him up when need be.
@@docholliday3150 lol
Great job, looks pretty good to me. Your skills mechanically really showed through on this project. Thanks for sharing your projects and adventures. Peace
Thank you!
If someone hasn't already mentioned it, I fear the zip tie will wear out quickly. Would you consider inserting a bolt inside the throttle spring, with a couple of large washers on each end to keep it inside the spring, with a nut on the end to allow you to fine-tune the idle speed? Use some Loctite on the threads to keep the nut from vibrating loose, or try a nylon insert nut, so it doesn't vibrate loose, perhaps? My wife & are are sure enjoying your videos! I've learned SO MUCH from your comments & methods. Thank you for providing this excellent resource to us all!
I’m a retired welder of 37 years and you’re doing a good job Matt, at least you’re trying and that’s all that matters brother! Forget the video critics if any! lol 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 that little diesel is a good running engine and you’re a pretty good fabricator buddy!
It looks a lot nicer than it did when you got it off the trailer!
That is a pretty amazing piece of equipment and I love the retrofit with the engine - I'll have to go back and watch your earlier videos.
I don't know how you have time to do all this stuff and produce/upload all these videos to CZcams!
It takes all my time, but I do enjoy it
Ya' no doubt I can't even remember to turn on the camera to record my stuff to caught up getting the job done.
@@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006 oh believe me that happens quite a bit!!
I’m addicted to DC. You gotta love the engine cover :)
Looks and works a lot better than when you first got it excellent work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Nice work! A Kubota diesel is a solid choice and I enjoyed seeing you optimize it for the application. An air-cooled Deutz diesel would also be a good choice for that compactor; they're built to run at steady RPM for extended periods of time on pumps, generators, and certain mobile equipment.
Hard to get angry with someone who invests time they believe is doing you a favor. I've tried. I can't. 😉😂 Great job by the way.
Hello from Alberta Canada! Matt gets it done in Matt’s time. Great project Matt. Love your videos
I like the paint job your buddy did. Heck, it protects the metal and you did not have to do it.
Looks nice!! You have a tremendous amount of talent and knowledge love watching your video's.
Well thank you!
Most of the time when I used DC we would put a resistor on the hold side because the inrush of the coil is a lot and it doesn't take a lot to hold it in. It would be easy to figure what you need to lower the dc resistance of the coil by measuring the resistance of the coil and remember that if you put a resistor of 1/4th the resistance of the coil and and put that in series with the coil on the hold side the coil will work and last for a long time, if not probably not that long.
You can probably use one of those resistors they put on coils on GM Cars before electronic ignition!
Love that you show the unit in operation. I sure would love to find an Essick like that for our unpaved roads. Thanks for posting another great video!
Great to see this project completed! I love how you keep coming back and hacking at these things. Good job getting that roller working again! Looks good, works good. WIN!
I think you did a really good job, YEAH !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Your welds at fine I say as long as it works that’s what matters
Indeed!
The neighbor totally did you a complete solid. The paint is the least goobered part of the whole build. Lipstick on a pig is still a pig. Great build, glad it worked, looks good. You could use a magnet to mount the remote to your fender as well as a magnetic Beer holder!
A suggestion you mentioned near the end of the video that this job needs beer.
Back in the 80'S I Did my fair share of hours on tractors harvesting, wheat, oats and lupins, and seeding as well,
You do have PLENTY OF TIME to think while doing so
Around 2000 ish I discovered Audiobooks and have amassed a huge library now of them
Oh how I wish I had known about them in my tractor driving days!
A good pair of noise cancelling headphones, linked to my smartphone and the hours that would have been Far more entertaining would have been great.
I think that anyone who drives the long slow boring hours on a tractor should give
Audiobooks at least a couple of days trial, I personally have gotten many people addicted!
Tony from Western Australia.
I enjoy them while running equipment!
@@DieselCreek ah good , so many Genres and Authors out there, i live in the wheatbelt of Western Australia about 100kms from Perth i listen over a bluetooth speaker from my phone , I find the closer i get to my destination the slower i drive just so i can get more chapters in lol

I'm a heavy equipment and farm equipment mechanic, great video 👍
Thank you!!
Fantastic! Well done.
Glad you liked it!
I love how you get old stuff and then fix it up! I do the same..... just not with heavy equipment. So I really love watching you with all your different machines. So totally geeked out at all your projects!
You were concerned bout buddy’s paint job ,,,, n you couldn’t put the rubber on over the electrical straight lol 😂
I thought the same thing but if you look closely (at the time lapse when he was putting it on or you can see it more clearly when he is dealing with the muffler) the electrical box is not square, it is tapered. He drew a guide line for the rubber parallel to the back edge not the front and installed the rubber accordingly to give as much coverage as possible to the exposed backside of the box with the width of the piece he had. I was wondering why he mounted the reflector where he did obscuring some of the gauges & not parallel to the bottom of the electrical box???? That being said, with all of the repair work, improvising & engineering you have to admit he did a fantastic job & deserves a ton of credit & bottom line it makes him happy & he is pleased with the overall results!!!!
The ranger you keep towing around is getting me excited lol
Paint job looks fine to me, plus your neighbor probably enjoyed a chance to play with his paint booth.
I really enjoy your videos, well shot well narrated,no bs, good with the bad. I watch them all the way thru.
You never did replace the drive belts.
Great job!
Congrats on adding a valuable piece of equipment to your arsenal. I'm sure it will come in handy at the church project. You do remember the church project, right? Just kidding.
I’ll be using it when I put the parking lot in for sure!
What size congregation will you be predicting for when you put in that parking lot? Lol!!
@@keithwallick7440 just 4 units so 8-10 cars
speaking of projects, when are we going to see the crane in action?
My neighbor thought je was doing me a favor last year when he plowed my driveway. He pushed all the snow across my front yard destroying my lawn and burying my front porch.
That zip tie trick is genius
I learn so much watching your videos. I especially see the valu in being patient. Keep up the good work d work.
"This task needs beer" 🤣👌🍺
Yup
4:35 really should have the guard on that...
dont use grinders do you?
@@raquskane4002 Haven't had bits of a grinding disc embed in your hand have you? It f**king hurts for a long time after...
@@danielsullivan87 many of times its no worse the splinters, like in the few dozens thing that happens in fabricating , if you to dumb to use angle grinder then don't. A guard or no guard anyone that actually uses them uses gloves and doesn't stand or any body parts in the same plan of rotation with that disk i know its hard to understand that safety is a thing that happens behind your eye balls
That zip tie trick was a good solution.
You did a really great job on that compactor......it looked like a piece of junk when you started, and bit by bit, piece by piece you put that baby backed together and fixed up its shortcomings.....well done, I congratulate you.
Use a relay at the machine end to carry the 'pull' function current only via the small remote cable, the rest already works.
Wiring for me is pretty easy.Before I retired I was a senior field engineer for X-Ray equipment manufacturers.😎
It tickles me to say you have successfully got the vibrator or compactor running you're doing a really great job keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!
Good enough for the girls I go with!
They need rollering too?
thats a AVE response
Hi I am an old painter and ptn contractor for 65 years and owned a lot of different types of paint sprayers. And now that you have the new great auto unit. with a little time and patience you keep your units looking great. I know you are up to the looks of your units.Keep up the 👍 work and keeping me up to 3 am in the mornings.🤩🐕🐕🇺🇸
For many years I worked as a maintenance mechanic in a large wielding factory. Every time you start to weld, the glow form the welfibg arc. Still makes my eyes slam shut.
would you sell parts off the wisconsin motor. I need a starter. I live east of akron.
The engine cover looks like 1/2 of a 55 gallon drum. Yes?
Indeed! Check out the previous videos to see how I got to this point!
Thanks Matt! I was mesmerized by this as I wanted to know how you figured this out. Paint job looks great from my house. The throtlle linkage and switching had me stumped but now I see a simple solution. Just noticed your Instagram and followed. I like how you put a teaser of upcoming vidjas at the end.
You definitely need an ice chest, a radio and an umbrella top mounted on the fender of your tractor brother! Be a dam good job to do then! lol 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We have clearance Clarence? Roger Over. What?
And don’t call me Shirley
You know it’s funny at the time I didn’t even think of that but when I was watching it during the edit I was like man I missed a great opportunity to quote airplane here
What's our vector Victor ?
Looks like I pick the wrong week to quit smoking , drinking , amphetamines , sniffing glue
You guys kinda suck, I get 4 comments and only 1 like?
I see a disk imbedded in your arm or stomach if you keep handling your cut-off like that. That would suck!. Keep your body parts out of the plane of rotation. Always ask yourself .. what if..?. the disk would shatter... Where is it going.....??
The roller turned out nice Matt !! I'm the same way with projects. Keep the videos coming! Thanks for taking us along!!
VEry satisfying to have the the roller working. Good on ya Matt!! Good job - good show - thanks for that.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, you have neighbors that give you engines and neighbors that like to paint your projects
Relays are simple. If you had stuck to your original switch, extension lead is perfect. As you saw the pull in was trying. A simple spot lamp relay would do the trick acting as a switch from battery to solenoid. The original ignition switch with the heavier cable would also have worked. It was the voltage drop that caused the problem.
For sure - looks great on video!
If you have neighbors that give you engines and like to paint your projects, you've got Neighbors!
I would like to address the issue of pronunciation.
Every community in the entire world, even though speaking the same base language, has it's own and individual sound for each word in it's arsenal; people living just a mile apart will pronounce the same word differently to their neighbours, this is what makes us all unique.
Please do not crumble under the attacks of the self styled grammar police, be true only to yourself, it's what makes you - you, not a clone of them, diversity is not a 4 letter word.
I subscribe to that theory as well, but haters are always going to hate
@@DieselCreek On language/anything really, Remember - ( those who matter, never mind - Those who mind, never matter )......
@@jockojohn3294 well seid.
Negative comments are ridiculous, Matt. Ignor them. Great videos!
These welding videos are astounding. I can't believe how modern cameras can tolerate looking directly at an arc! Instant death for the old cams!! lol. Fun shit to watch. The cut-off wheel scenes are beautiful.
You do pretty darn good on the electricals. The breadth of you mechanical is marvelous.
Too much fun! That was brilliant solution using the ignition key switch that didn't work. Relays are not that difficult but they do require basic understanding of their use and can be more of a install problem that the problem that they solve! But you got it done!!! Yea.
Great video Matt. Thanks for sharing. Good job and i agree that slow moving needed a beer.
That roller will be valuable on your future jobs. Nice piece of equipment
Add few solenoids, make a slightly larger remote panel, few more wires
in the umbilical. Your remote "box" could have a wheel control, digital
RPM, Temp, Fuel level gauges, vibrate engagement, and a keyed
start/stop or just a safety red STOP button.
Add all the creature comforts that make one of these really expensive.
The setup you have now is fine, and it works for now.
It could use a red led "Power" indicator.
These are just suggestions for the future.
Matt, What you need to do is wire the pull function to a 2 post starter solenoid, which you can get at any parts store. All you do is run your pull wire from the key switch to the small signa/trigger post on that solenoid, then run a length of 10 gauge wire from your battery positive to one big post on the solenoid then run another 10 gauge from the second post over to the pull terminal on the throttle solenoid. I’m sure you know this already but this will allow the high amp load to be switched by the big solenoid and the only load on your key switch will be the 2 or 3 amps it takes to close the contacts on the new solenoid.
Love your videos. Keep them coming. Snowing today in Maine.
I believe all you would need is a starter solenoid for a lawn tractor to make that work with the key switch. That way you can take the large power wire strait from the battery to the throttle. You just need a small amount of power to activate it.
Great video Matt, really good job compacting with your homebrew compactor/machine, totally agree over
the painting but Heyhoo.. maybe repaint in the future or not !!
the good ole reliable kubota engine the best #1 engines in the world
Love the zip tie throttle adjuster, nice improv!!
Congratulations on getting the vibrating compactor finished. I hope it will give many years of good service.
when welding, push the puddle. and put the ground as close to your welding area as possible.
Great videos thanks for the channel.
Great to see old machines brought back to working condition. Well done Matt stay safe buddy 😀😀😀😀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
After watching a gazillion YT videos, I'm fairly certain I'm the only person in the world who uses a sawzall with a metal cutting blade. Never got into cut off discs. Nice job on the roller! I can see where something like that would have made some of my projects turn out better. Thanks!
I primarily go for the sawzall with good carbide teeth steel blades to cut exhaust pipe and other things like old cast iron drains, conduit and more. it sure zips through exhaust pipe fast.
Sawzalls are GREAT for cutting tree roots. Use a blade with about 5-8 teeth per inch. You can get them for about $2-3. Pull the trigger and the blade will dig itself right into the ground and there go the roots!
Congratulations on getting it gone and working really good. Look like almost a new one
