”Farmer Jon's Home for Neglected Heavy Equipment” is my favorite channel these days. But seriously, it's impressive how much you improve these old machines by just paying attention to detail and how things should work properly.

My Skid-steer PTSD was just triggered! Thanks Jon... My dad owned a rental yard, and we had a Hydra Mac 9C that burned one summer. A landscaper had rented it from us, and was using it to spread wood chips, many of which found their way into the belly of the beast. He spilled diesel fuel in there while refueling it one day. Nobody noticed that it had caught fire until well after he shut it down for the day, and had gone home. The damage wasn't bad enough to total the machine, so we decided to fix it. Taking it to the dealer to have it fixed wasn't going to be useful, as that was us...LOL We initially removed the engine and hydraulic system, replaced all the electrical wiring, starter, alternator and hoses. Any plastic or rubber parts got replaced. We sent the pumps and motors out to be resealed by the local hydraulic shop which had always done stellar work for us. Should have been a slam-dunk repair. But, no.... I chased oil leaks on that machine for months. I had much the same problems that you did with old Val there. I couldn't isolate the leak and where it was coming from for the longest time. It turned out that the hydraulic shop had missed a couple of O-rings in the pumps when they inspected and resealed them for us. To be fair, the overlooked O-rings were behind steel block off plates that were retained by snap rings and covered so thickly with paint by the factory, that you could not tell they were there. I still have nightmares...

Hour and a half farm craft video!! Nice!

It is insane how much effort you put in these videos, besides work itself, camera work with multiple angles is top notch and editing like this 1,5hour video with voice overs must take forever. And big inspiration to anybody to work with things even if they don't excatly know what they are doing.

Wow, a sponsor commercial that has something I really could use! It would be a great addition to my woodshop. Outfeed tables for planner, table saw..., extension for my workbench.... Excellent. Thanks man!

Fair play John, you deserve a medal for your patience 👏.

When you found that nickel I was so glad, Val is finally paying off!

I cried with joy when finally you say '.. nooo leaky-leaky!'

Every Friday or Saturday I sit and wait for a Farmcraft video! This is my favorite time of the whole weekend

YES!!! I been waiting, John! Glad to see you, my friend… can’t wait to see what we’re doing this week!

I remember watching the first fixup videos and getting invested into the channel more and more. It's so satisfying seeing you at work with these pieces of machinery.

Wow, that bobwhite at 6:15. I grew up on the east coast and learned how to whistle on my grandparent's farm trying to talk to the bobwhites. That hit me right in the nostalgia!

John, I'm gonna be honest here bud, you are a different species of human that is no longer the majority. The shit you do on this channel, the various levels of jack of all trades you engage in, is an intelligence on it's own. The shit you've self learned doesn't have a class someone can take to learn about, you are an inspiration to all.

I´m german and always enjoy it, when a new video shows up on the screen. Don´t stop! Greetings from Bavaria

I did everything you have done to a Bobcat 743 including engine swap. What I felt with was it had lived its life in a concrete powder making plant indoors so as you can imagine every single nook and cranny was filled with concrete. I chipped and chipped and cleaned and repaired more hydraulics than I ever care to do again! Love your channel and the methodology you use in your work ethics!

A tip for removing hoses- use a cotter pin removal tool ( It’s a pointy end bend at 90 degrees essentially and has a handle). Insert that and break the seal around the hose.

I use baby powder when searching for leaks in cramped quarters. Get everything cleaned up, dust powder around and wait a bit. Makes it super easy to see where fluid is coming from.

I love to watch channels specializing in cutting and/or mulching brush with skid steers and similar mowing attachments. Those channels, however, don't often show you much maintenance beyond sharpening blades or replacing cutting lugs. Nice video, as always, Jon.

I enjoy the birds in the background, bob-white.
