  • I welded up my own quick attach for my ford 555 backhoe. The quick attach ended up failing and breaking my forks in the process. But i have an idea on how to fix the problem. do you think this will work?

    I apologise, this is on a tangent, but the thought keeps occurring to me. Next time you're burning in the woods, put a camera on it for the whole burn. "Fireplace in a box" is one of the videos YT keeps putting up when I pause a video. You could have a "fireplace in the woods" version.
    You do great work, Michael. Keep it up.

    "Whadda ya do if a hose blows while you're taking this off?" Same question occurred to me a couple of days ago, and the answer I came up with was "see how fast you can move while covered in hot hydraulic oil, but most likely, a few days off while in the hospital." Thanks for the video, take care.

    Hi Mike. The host on one of the popular welding channels (can't remember which one) always says "make your next weld better than your last". Sounds like you have that covered. My welding goal is always to stick 2 pieces of metal together so that they don't fall apart. Occasionally, they don't look horrible!

    Cap’n, methinks you’ve been channeling MBTS all along. My proof? In case you didn’t notice… he was watching over your shoulder and forgot, for one cameo moment, to invoke his cloaking powers!!!
    I have a few ideas about those slabs… I’d like to talk with you, about them, in another year or so when they get dry enough to use?
    I’m glad you got the materials gathered up for the YT Yacht sheathing…. Looks like you’ll have it in the dry… just in time for the spring rains to stop!!! Perfect planning bud…

Ok, maybe not everything has that factory cosmetic finish but that’s not necessary for heavy duty machinery and you always seem to revisit your projects and want to improve them. Love both your channels, keep being you . Best wishes to you and your family, from Britain 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see the fork repair went ok and the supplies and lift are on sight. In reflection I’m trying to decide which was more impressive, MBS making a cameo appearance, you had the opportunity to visit with Lord Muck, or that you can transport a load that wide from the Derby market to your house, without passing anyone going the other way on the incredibly narrow roads you have in your area. The only roads I’ve seen narrower on video are in the UK. Check out the HoofGP, he’s in Ireland and the roads are so narrow I’m sometimes amazed with the speed he drives at while transporting his squeeze chute. They make the aisles in the barns he sets up in appear roomy. 😂 Wishing you and your family the best.

    Your own technique with the loader is also improving - you've obviously been watching DP or else his likeness on film, Sorry, that's the history channel. Anyway work is being done with some success, things are looking up, oh sorry that's the man lift. Good show and best wishes from UK.

    Back in the mid seventy I lived in Fargo North Dakota . As an after work income in the spring and the fall some people would have me change thermostats to make their vehicles run warmer or cooler with the seasons.
    New thermostats were defective from the start and some would even fail sometimes in within weeks of installation .
    That's just one instance of part's that will fail or have short lives .
    Thats why there's warrants different levels of products .

  • @number40Fan
    @number40Fan Před měsícem +3

    You could still have a voltage regulator issue. The alternator will likely have two spade connections (maybe they're studs) plus your main battery connection. If you put 12 volts to both of the spade connections, you should see full alternator output at the battery terminal. That'll tell you if the alternator is good. Do this test momentarily.

    Hey captain have you checked the voltage on the exciter wire going to the alternator, you may be seeing battery voltage at the alternator with it showing 12.2, if you are not supplying voltage the alternator won’t charge.

    • @andyloebrown8250
      @andyloebrown8250 Před měsícem +2

      That's what I was thinking, "he's reading battery voltage ". The alternator is not putting out. I rigged up a momentary switch to turn my 10si alternator on.
      That old Ford backhoe may have a generator if it uses an external voltage regulator.
