I'll never work on the equipment and parts that you normally do, but I have taken methods of yours and used it in my everyday work and it's gotten me out of some jams. I really appreciate you for putting out this content. I hope you know, you help more people than you realize.
Jesse, I can't tell you how much I envy you for your mechanical talent and fortitude for the projects you take on! If I needed anything worked on I would choose you over AC. He is very entertaining and a little dramatic but you get down into the guts of a problem and solve it! Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!
Jesse, I really love how you explain things so that even I can understand it. We farm and I have spent a lifetime pulling wrenches and lifting heavy things so believe me when I say be careful lifting 200 pound drive motors. Back in January I had 7 vertebrae fused and you don’t want to wind up like me.
Paint it. It deserves it, the amount of time you put into it. I liked both the videos, the elaborate way of filming. If you learn a lot, we learn a lot.
Jesse, another awesome video. YES, please paint the new skid steer. I can wait until you build your shop. Let the once big man know he looks great slimming down. You are going to have to rename him as, Slim!
Awesome detective work figuring out exactly the reason it failed! Along with many other commenters, I was sure you can fix this drive yourself and I'm so happy that you took on the challenge! Lovely video Jesse. All the best.
Well done young man. I hope a lot of young people watch this and possibly learn something!!! Tomorrow is not a given. Everything could be gone in seconds. People need to wake up and realize that. What are we going to do then? Power is knowledge and knowledge is power!!! Thanks for sharing and trying to help people bro!!!
The Farmcraft101 channel is excellent too. The videography, narration of both channels is nothing short of AMAZING... Very professionally done... Both are much appeeciated! :-)
I was hoping you would paint it back to original color, I like it the most! Good tracks and it seems to handle pretty well! Thanks for sharing, Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your family! I love your little goat, he’s cute! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻🙋🏼
Thanks for the video Jesse! It’s nice to see your wife jump right in to help you. I’d throw a nice paint job on the machine if it proves out to be worth it. It will preserve it a bit and make it look good. Stay Safe!!!
Awesome results with this skid steer project Jesse. Back when you were in Part I, debating with yourself the 3K + shipping and one month repair option; you must feel the reward now having made the right choice. I enjoy all your waste deep or extreme multi-part equipment repair videos. Keep 'em coming. I look forward to the shop getting built so you don't have to work on the ground quite as much.
Jesse you really put a lot of effort and time to explain bits and pieces of what you are doing showing your mistakes and how you fix them. You are the MAN. Greetings from Kuwait
Jesse, for cleaning out metal particles, wrap a ball of strong magnet beads in a plastic bag, and then double that in plastic. Push it into the space and the beads will conform to the ridges/shapes. The bigger the blob, then it might be too strong and annoying to move around. Thanks for the lesson, been like four years since I saw a final drive taken apart. Good to loop back and cement the knowledge.
Jessie the skills you have are amazing, you never give up, have great worth ethic, a family man, who teaches his children the benefit of hard work, and a have great attitude, and explain what your doing, why your doing, and the benefits of the way your doing it, so everybody can understand, it was also great too see Mrs Jessie giving you a helping hand to put the drive motor back on, TBH I was expecting to see Noah run in too help or crawl out from under the machine with you, I bet he would have loved to help you fix this. great work your videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks. I thought about having noah try to help. I know people would go wild about it, but that final drive was too heavy to mess around. I will definitely put him on some less dangerous tasks though
@@jmuller86 @Jmuller86 hello jesse yes it would be very interesting for you to make a video when you are going to repaint it and it will be a magnificent machine when it is repainted with this green and the white cabin and personally I think you should send the JCB to your other property because for example the JCB the controls are not very responsive and therefore without saying that the JCB is a bad machine it is probably perfect for a machine that you will not use regularly skidsteer and as you said this machine is almost a classic so you should keep it here on your main property and therefore use and maintain to keep this beautiful machine well jesse it is my personal opinion but you should really keep it preciously
When I first started watching your videos I was like "He gets too long winded and these videos are too long." Man, I'm happy to say I was WrOnG! I love the way you think through problems and overcome anything that pops up. I watched your entire house build and now these are icing and the way you explain what you are doing reminds me of being up all night working on cars or tractors figuring our problems, it's like I'm standing right there with you. I love it! Sadly now, your videos are too short even at 2 hours long! I commend you for tackling this on your own and doing a 'proper' fix to that e-clip as that would always be in the back of my head thinking "will this turn break it"? Outstanding videos! Keep em' coming brother!
It's one thing to get Nick involved it's hard to keep him away, but get to your wife to help! WOW, When I grow up (I am 71 now) I want to be just like you. Then again it seems to run in the family saw your mom helping your dad on Andrew castle, good stuff.
Awesome job bro. You are fortunate to be able to work for yourself. I hope your wife appreciates what you do. Wouldn't mind seeing more of her in the videos.
I am sure wifee helps Jesse in many things, but we don't get to see her until this vid. Congrats on your being a great wifeee. Now that circlip with the tabs added a great amount of surface area to hold tension and you just upgraded the design flaw. Really i like watching this type of information. Great work again... BTW those stubby wrenches i have a set made by Plomb in LA years ago and they are so handy to have.
Just watched the latest video from Pacific Northwest Hillbilly in which he is finishing the engine rebuild on his excavator. He was complaining about missing and incorrect bit and pieces in a seal/gasket kit as well. You always give a shout out to suppliers, viewers, tools, or techniques that have helped you. I think it would be a service to name chronically bad suppliers or parts as well.
Amazing work Jesse. You were always going to fix it yourself. It’s who you are. You learn’t a lot. & so did we. Fascinating. & great explanation on how these things work. Working in your time. & that sense of excitement when the fix worked. Was awesome. Keep it up!! 👏👏👏
I must say I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I learn an incredible amount and I thank you. It doesn’t matter if it’s mechanics, Electric carpentry Hydrolics you really are talented and I really do appreciate you sharing.
Thanks to you for the video and to your wife for the assist. Great project, especially showing when things can go wrong. Yes, I’d like to see that machine painted…perhaps with some graphics with angles and triangles rather than a boring mono colour. 😊
Jesse: Although I am not knowledgeable about a lot of mechanical things, I am able to understand things if someone is able to explain them in a intelligent way. SO, I am "99.9%" sure that you are the man to do it. Thanks for a entertaining video. Pat (rpr) from Freeport, PA
Very very nice work Jesse! I would love to see it all painted up too. This machine doesn't seem to lack any power. I couldn't believe how far it pushed into that dirt pile.
A little tip for those cylinder seals, Try putting them in hot water for a few minutes to soften them up. Makes a world of difference. Also, put a little vaseline on the outer scraper seal and the o-rings. You wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference, but when I worked at a rebuild shop the owner swore by it and he did these for over 50 years so I trust his judgement. He always said vaseline conditions them so they expand more, soften up, and last twice as long :) Oh and don't paint it! Them's battle scars dude. 😛
You see Jesse, I know it was a lot of work but you saved a lot of money. Besides you need to pay that assistant of yours that helped you. Well done both of you xxx
Jesse, it is so amazing what you can do with a broken down machine! You and Matt from Diesel Creek always leave me in awe. All in all, for the money you paid to buy and repair this skidsteer, you saved yourself a TON of money, and have a good running machine. Congrats!!!
“Give us the tools and we will finish the job” all the best with your endeavours in mending that poor little abused skid steer. I can guarantee it is more than happy to be now owned and looked after by you and your team. All the best from England.
Heck yea it’s nice that your wife isn’t scared to jump in and get her hands dirty n help out my wife used to come out n help out she would jump up on the mini excavator n could run pretty good to n grab a shovel its like a team effort trying to get through life but anyway awesome video n great job Jesse
Well now I know how a hydraulic motor works. What I like is that you don't ever say "I can't do that" you just get on with it and learn as you go, very impressive and I learn when I watch.
I am as far from a mechanic as one can be but I enjoy watching the work you do. The best part IMO is that you describe what you are doing and why and how it all relates to what you are working on. I may not be a mechanic and I'll never work on the kinds of things you do but I learn how and why things work watching your videos and I get some of satisfaction doing so.
Genuinely disappointed Andrew doesn’t do these types of videos anymore. I still really enjoy a lot of his content but he used to do these videos all the time, if I had to guess it seems like he started making some good money and now he doesn’t feel like fixing stuff anymore and just buys something else when it breaks
@@2491kridge Exactly. A few years ago he used to be my most watched youtubechannel,.. I started watching him before he had 100,000 subscribers,... but now I watch one of his trivial hack videos about every few months at best. Jesse's are top notch. He's better than Diesel Creek who came out strong, but even he's becoming light weight compared to Jesse. Getting an old piece of equipment to run again with some ether and then parking it,... is nothing compared to the job Jesse did digging into skid steer and has done on other equipment in the past.
@@jcgoogle1808 yeh Jesse is easily my favorite channel now for these types of videos, I literally don’t miss a video he uploads. With Andrew anymore I don’t even pay attention to his uploads and then every few months when I’ve got nothing else to watch I’ll scroll through his channel and see if there’s anything interesting
Jesse, I think you outdid yourself on this video, it was one of the most educational videos that I have seen, keep up the great work, and will be waiting for the next.
Nice to see you repair this track loader. Yes I would love to see you do some paint work on a machine. Love you videos as always Jesse, keep sending them we will be here waiting for them to come out.
Your amazing Jesse. Your videos are great and having help you on the weekend is just heartwarming. Your closeup video and your narration and down to earth exploration of everything should inspire other CZcamsrs to do the same. Thanks a lot for your hardworking go to it video.
Wow, what a video. It is most definitely a full family effort. Someone had been inside that motor before and not replaced the correct circlip. Increased abutment circlips like the one you installed handle and distribute the forces better. The pins and bushes appear to be pretty decent on that machine. Those bolt on cutting edges are a nightmare when trying to dig slab or rocks as you always have to reposition the bucket to avoid the material pushing into the nuts. I'd definitely like to see a muller makeover and repaint after you've run it for a while. The offgrid project will be an amazing video series in due course
Tricky job well executed. I swear the ladies know far more about machines than they let on. Seeing how the old singer sewing machines get tweaked oiled and maintained got me wise to it years ago. Well done all round. Manufactures price for total replace not repair these days. Those figures were outrageous. Thank you for posting. Best wishes to you and your family from the UK. Little Noah is always the star of the show! even with voice overs.
The perfectionist in you is depriving you of sleep, I know the feeling sometimes it makes me a little nuts. Keep em coning I really enjoy your videos and hope your new shop is done quickly and to your needs. It seems like you bust your ass and do good quality work, good luck man.
You have exceptional mechanical skills and knowledge of the subject. I wish you a few million subscribers so they can better understand how America works. Bravo!
Once again I watched the whole video. I guess what they say is true, slow and steady wins the race. I dig how you explain everything in great detail. Thanks for sharing the video bro.
This is the repair mindset all mechanics should have. Some do but definitely not all- most want (or need) it out the door ASAP even if that means a compromised repair. This was 10/10!
I learned from a friend to put a clamp on the white rings and tighten it down nice and easily and let them sit for a half hour or so and they will compress back down . It is worth a try .
3/13/24..Done! Your Takeuchi TL24 part 2. Repaired right Drive motor with great lighting, camera close ups, very articulate commentary on some mighty fine hydraulic & mechanical engineering components & sub components (Swash plate with 9 pistons, 3 tiny little pins locking gears, splines allowing separate rotation between hollow machined shaft...on & on..) Jesse this was an educational video for everybody! Also great to hear your little boy calling you on radio😊 & your wife (clean hands/no gloves!) holding 200# unit into its cavity while you calmly install radial bolts into cast flange from >inside micro space next to engine
zip ties work really good at compressing springs, put the tabs on the inside, slowly tightenting each one, cut when finished and pull out, they hold a surpsing amount of force when you use a few of them
Definitely want to see a painting video. I want to paint my old Gehl, so I'm looking forward to learning from you. I learned a lot from this video. As always, Great Work!
Great couple of videos on the skidsteer. Really glad to see ya stick with it and save $3000 bucks or so not sending it off to a shop to change a bearing. Not only did it save you money, but provided great content for the channel.
Yes, paint her, with new decals! You could use clear lexon plastic for your side windows; from the wind, rain, and snow (Zip tie them into place.). You could even try to make, from clear lexon plastic, a hinge snap closed front door. Just my thoughts, a potential future project/s. "Thanks" for sharing, I find myself learning a lot from your projects and vedios. 🙂👍👍
Ya gotta paint it! Paint it red, in the style of the new Takeuchis. My TL-26 was repainted in red and it looks great. For a small machine, it's a beast.
You could've used a high grit sand paper layed down on a flat surface and polished out any scratches. But from what I could tell those surfaces looked fine. Especially for a farm type machine. That was Definitely why your motor wasn't running there was no spring pressure on the pistons and oil was bypassing a larger gap than intended. Just so you know those piston seals weren't seals they were wear bands and sold separately but should be replaced if over 2k hrs, and there should be one bigger o ring for the cap seal and the two smaller ones with back up rings for the lower cap seals. The cap back up rings are actually cupped on one side to better accept the o-ring and they dont go bad so reusing perfectly fine. Awesome work I really enjoyed these 2 videos
Bravo!!! I was cheering when you were explaining the problem & solution it was as if my team had just won the super bowl. Great detective work and an upgrade to the Whimpey factory part. As you said no doubt it was fixed. Good job! My dad used to have those sleepless nights when we were building my first house. He would have a solution in the morning. Great minds!! Thanks for the video.
Theres nothing like taking something old and bring it back to live , you will really enjoy this machine . Thanks for showing us step by step details.. See Ya
I've just started watching your channel. Man you have some awesome skills. Making your own tools work in ways they aren't meant to but in some ways it's just flat genius! Subbed!
As always, I'm impressed by the creative mechanicing. And glad to know I'm not the only one who can't shut up his brain laying in the bed at night - lol.
Dude... First time watching... Awesome job Sir. If I was there, I'd give you a big high five. As is, I hope your shoulder will recover. As I know you gave yourself a well deserved pat on the back... Awesome Awesome job sir. Very impressive...
Jesse .. I would really love to see you paint it .. when you are on it , please paint the other ones too so that it looks nice when you park all of them next to your garage.
Jesse, a big "Well Done" to your lady for helping align the bolt holes, although it sounded like Noah was standing by to give you a hand.
The explanation of the drive motor was worth the price of admission alone. Thanks, I'm a little wiser now.
Props to your wife. She did a great job of aligning the threaded hole of the drive motor!
no need to be that polite, she barely tried pushing with her fingertips panicking for I don't know what
Props to Jesse who stayed calm!
I'll never work on the equipment and parts that you normally do, but I have taken methods of yours and used it in my everyday work and it's gotten me out of some jams. I really appreciate you for putting out this content. I hope you know, you help more people than you realize.
Jesse, I can't tell you how much I envy you for your mechanical talent and fortitude for the projects you take on! If I needed anything worked on I would choose you over AC. He is very entertaining and a little dramatic but you get down into the guts of a problem and solve it! Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!
Your wife is a trooper! Oily hands and logical approach!!
You're a genius, Jesse Muller, and a master of mechanical logic.
Amen to that! That feller has a wide range of skills for sure..
Jesse, I really love how you explain things so that even I can understand it. We farm and I have spent a lifetime pulling wrenches and lifting heavy things so believe me when I say be careful lifting 200 pound drive motors. Back in January I had 7 vertebrae fused and you don’t want to wind up like me.
Paint it. It deserves it, the amount of time you put into it.
I liked both the videos, the elaborate way of filming.
If you learn a lot, we learn a lot.
Jesse, another awesome video. YES, please paint the new skid steer. I can wait until you build your shop. Let the once big man know he looks great slimming down. You are going to have to rename him as, Slim!
Awesome detective work figuring out exactly the reason it failed! Along with many other commenters, I was sure you can fix this drive yourself and I'm so happy that you took on the challenge! Lovely video Jesse. All the best.
I was one of those who wrote that you could fix the final drive...Enjoy your videos. Your wife is a trooper!
Well done young man. I hope a lot of young people watch this and possibly learn something!!! Tomorrow is not a given. Everything could be gone in seconds. People need to wake up and realize that. What are we going to do then? Power is knowledge and knowledge is power!!! Thanks for sharing and trying to help people bro!!!
I like the way you and Watch Wes Work explain your work as you disassemble and assemble things. Very enjoyable.
The Farmcraft101 channel is excellent too.
The videography, narration of both channels is nothing short of AMAZING... Very professionally done... Both are much appeeciated! :-)

Jesse you really put a lot of effort and time to explain bits and pieces of what you are doing showing your mistakes and how you fix them. You are the MAN. Greetings from Kuwait
And the UK.
Paint it! I think it would nice with modern Takeuchi paint scheme.
I thought exactly the same, would look good in red and greys
Track frame looked already quite pitted.
Nothing like a stressed wife to add suspense. Good on her for helping
Man, when he said he was gonna put that final drive in by himself I about fell out of my seat. I blurted out “Go get your dad!”
Great video Jess.. Yea paint it.
Was grest seeing mama helping and not afraid getting her hands dirty shes a keeper.
👍👍
Blown away with all you do Jesse! Top notch work and an OBSESSION with doing it the best you can with what is at hand.

Hats off to you Jesse. Most would have quit on this project.
Marvelous outcome, it pays to be persistent. I am so glad that 3K stayed with you.
Jesse I can definitely relate to that there's been so many nights where I just couldn't sleep thinking about something on a project I was doing
Once again I watched the whole video. I guess what they say is true, slow and steady wins the race. I dig how you explain everything in great detail. Thanks for sharing the video bro.
Your explanation is very educational! Your deductive reasoning is top notch. Thank you for your work
What a struggle, Glad you found a snap ring that worked.
I wouldn't paint it.
Wife is a keeper.
Good job, you got a real bargain. Definitely paint, she deserves it after the rough life she’s had.
The amount of time and energy you put into these machines is crazy. But you did it again.
Skid steer…Good! Can’t wait to see what’s ahead with the new shop! Nice Job!
This is the repair mindset all mechanics should have. Some do but definitely not all- most want (or need) it out the door ASAP even if that means a compromised repair. This was 10/10!
I learned from a friend to put a clamp on the white rings and tighten it down nice and easily and let them sit for a half hour or so and they will compress back down . It is worth a try .
That is not a task that just anyone could do, be proud off yourself! Great job 👍
It's always good to make errors if you learn from them. Great video. Interesting.Thanks.
Nice little machine. 4000.00$ can not go wrong. Great job thanks for sharing
3/13/24..Done! Your Takeuchi TL24 part 2. Repaired right Drive motor with great lighting, camera close ups, very articulate commentary on some mighty fine hydraulic & mechanical engineering components & sub components (Swash plate with 9 pistons, 3 tiny little pins locking gears, splines allowing separate rotation between hollow machined shaft...on & on..) Jesse this was an educational video for everybody! Also great to hear your little boy calling you on radio😊 & your wife (clean hands/no gloves!) holding 200# unit into its cavity while you calmly install radial bolts into cast flange from >inside micro space next to engine
zip ties work really good at compressing springs, put the tabs on the inside, slowly tightenting each one, cut when finished and pull out, they hold a surpsing amount of force when you use a few of them
Definitely want to see a painting video. I want to paint my old Gehl, so I'm looking forward to learning from you. I learned a lot from this video. As always, Great Work!
Great work, cudos to your wife for helping
Great couple of videos on the skidsteer.
Really glad to see ya stick with it and save $3000 bucks or so not sending it off to a shop to change a bearing.
Not only did it save you money, but provided great content for the channel.
Yes, paint her, with new decals! You could use clear lexon plastic for your side windows; from the wind, rain, and snow (Zip tie them into place.). You could even try to make, from clear lexon plastic, a hinge snap closed front door. Just my thoughts, a potential future project/s. "Thanks" for sharing, I find myself learning a lot from your projects and vedios. 🙂👍👍
Undeniably TOP NOTCH videos, Jesse! Thank you so much!
glad you brought the old takeuchi back to life, its seems like a good little machine!
Ya gotta paint it! Paint it red, in the style of the new Takeuchis. My TL-26 was repainted in red and it looks great. For a small machine, it's a beast.
Yes i would really like to see it get painted!!
You could've used a high grit sand paper layed down on a flat surface and polished out any scratches. But from what I could tell those surfaces looked fine. Especially for a farm type machine. That was Definitely why your motor wasn't running there was no spring pressure on the pistons and oil was bypassing a larger gap than intended. Just so you know those piston seals weren't seals they were wear bands and sold separately but should be replaced if over 2k hrs, and there should be one bigger o ring for the cap seal and the two smaller ones with back up rings for the lower cap seals. The cap back up rings are actually cupped on one side to better accept the o-ring and they dont go bad so reusing perfectly fine. Awesome work I really enjoyed these 2 videos
Bravo!!! I was cheering when you were explaining the problem & solution it was as if my team had just won the super bowl.
Great detective work and an upgrade to the Whimpey factory part. As you said no doubt it was fixed. Good job!
My dad used to have those sleepless nights when we were building my first house.
He would have a solution in the morning.
Great minds!!
Thanks for the video.
Theres nothing like taking something old and bring it back to live , you will really enjoy this machine . Thanks for showing us step by step details.. See Ya
One of the most educational channels on CZcams!
Deffo worth watching to see a master at work. Well done Jesse....and lady wife....lol
YES! Paint it! Sand a few areas don't have to do an immaculate paint job....just general normal touch up.
Great job as always. Also great job to your apprentice wife. My wife is always a good hand when I need the help.
Snap rings have a preferred side...And wife to the rescue..!
Hooray
i was told that also by a old timer with hands of gold they use to be stamped out i dont know if the still make them the same way
I've just started watching your channel. Man you have some awesome skills. Making your own tools work in ways they aren't meant to but in some ways it's just flat genius! Subbed!
As always, I'm impressed by the creative mechanicing. And glad to know I'm not the only one who can't shut up his brain laying in the bed at night - lol.
Dude... First time watching... Awesome job Sir. If I was there, I'd give you a big high five.
As is, I hope your shoulder will recover. As I know you gave yourself a well deserved pat on the back... Awesome Awesome job sir. Very impressive...
Imagine if you did let the shop do it... they would have used the old snap ring.. and It might have worked until it didn't again! Good catch man!
Great job again Jesse, saved a ton of cash fixing your self and learning a thing or two in the process
Another "I can do it myself and save money"! Excellent job!
Another great job, thank you for sharing, I learn a lot , you are a great teacher and your explanation are so nice , thank you 👍👍👍👍
Jesse .. I would really love to see you paint it .. when you are on it , please paint the other ones too so that it looks nice when you park all of them next to your garage.
