    Andrew, you did a good job putting that excavator back together. Two things. When attaching ground straps, don't use the bolt as the current path. The current path is through the flat surface of the lugs and the structure. You want to remove the rust where you land the wires. To take it a step further there is a conductive coating that can be applied first and spray some paint to seal it up. It's called Grounding and Bonding. 2nd don't use Teflon tape on a sensor that has one wire. The sensor gets its ground from the threads. Great job getting it running!

      @@AndrewCamarata alot of times you have to use something. I usually just do one wrap in one spot using the thin tyflon thinking it will tear on the outside of the threads and clog up the valleys where it would leak. also the adjoining threads where you did not teflon will supply the ground.

      I clean the bolt's shoulder, the threads, the threaded mount surface, the lug on both sides all with some sort of rotating wire wheel. A wire brush normally doesn't cut thru the oxide coatings accumulated over decades.
      Then Kopr-Shield everywhere. It'll conduct fine forever if ALL of this is done

Logras entretener y mostrar (enseñar) como se "encara" la Vida y sus obstáculos. Te agradezco que filmes, edites y publiques todo tu muy valorado material.

    When you prefer a machine, it's worth the hassle to get it restored. This one can easily go another 30 years. There's no escaping the maintenance anyway, even with a new machine. Just moving the broken excavator was a project in itself. Excellent video.

    You should send one of those scored up pistons to the operator that kept running that machine after it was overheated as a memento. Glad you rebuilt that little Yanmar I always liked that little excavator. You know the work pool is getting pretty lean when you only trust yourself to let the ramps down on the trailer. Great video as usual AC keep them coming!

    Your repair videos are my favorite. I like seeing your work. I am a mechanic by trade. With the work you are doing I think you would benefit from a good set of pro level wrenches. Ratcheting versions also. The crap wrenches you are using are a curse. Maybe I’m just a snob but I have my good stuff at work and when I’m working at home with my “extra” stuff if really sucks.
