hey John just received my Farm Craft 101 baseball cap. Nicely done man.
Quick question Jon… At 23:02, you are using an interesting tool.. Is that something you made or is it one that you picked up, and if so, where?
In reference to your "OUCH", just remember, it will quit hurting once the pain goes away… 😛 Val seems to be a pretty good deal so far.. Congratulations Sir !!
I sure hope Vali goes to the Dentist 😅
Mtl brush cutters are great. And made in Ga. I've been using one for 4yrs, I'm in land clearing business, it's been put to the test and we've not had one issue
mix acetone with pvc shavings and you get a plastic putty…works slick
Look at HV350 for fuel tank repair
Why didn't you take the bucket off
I can admit. You're the youtube influencer now. By your films you're forcing me to fix stuff that waiting for its turn somewhere around my workshop. Thanks
Way to go Val! No leaks!! Cheers!

Hi "Jon no h", I'm dad
Never an idiot, only ignorance.
About the skid plate under the gas tank. I've seen people weld either lines of weld or strips of rebar on places like that to give a bit of extra reinforcement that doubles as wear lines.
Nice Job John good luck with the machine
Hi John.
I'm actually surprised you can pressurise the chain case as there is a breather in the drive gearbox and the highest gearbox mounting bolt should be drilled with a 3mm through hole which allows the chain case to vent via the gearbox..
Being able to pressurise the chain case may have exposed another issue..
It’s possible this was a modification on only the later models, I can’t be sure about that but my LS170 has it..
The principal here is the same as when your differential on your car has a blocked diff breather.. Diff oil will get pushed past your wheel bearing seals when the diff heats up.. and of course suck air, dirt and water back into the diff when it is cooling down.
I guess the difference here is the wheel bearings in the wheel spindles are grease packed and only see oil splash..
Regardless you can implement the modification yourself quite easily..
The highest bolt retaining the gearbox is accessible by removing the chain case side cover plate.. that funny notched section gives access to the bolt mentioned.. Just drill a 1/8” (3mm) through hole in it….
OH if you want to check the breathers they are accessible by either lifting the seat and becoming a contortionist or lift the cab and remove the internal cab panels..
I really enjoy the benefit Jon gets from the back-up team (the knowledgable end of the comments, that is – I am at the other end) . Just one of the many facets of a really enjoyable channel.
I bought the Gladiator from Rut for my skid steer to make trails because it has the carbide tips underneath to help grind up material. The problem is that it leaves 3” stubbles.
The hockey puck design of the blade bolts are lower than the carbide tips and they get the brunt of abuse trying to get a lower cut.
The Gladiator is built like a tank, very happy with the quality.
It will take down 4-5” material easy with a low flow machine.
The one with the wonky horn, Eileen
I’m in a similar situation as you, Jon. I want to get a bush hog for my bobcat but I’m a bit concerned about a rock or branch hitting me in the face at 100 mph. Like your machine, I have no door to protect me. I’ve seen forestry door kits with thick lexan that would be ideal but they are very costly. Wondering what your plan is for protection against certain frontal assault…?
I joked about your heavy plant addiction last video.
But this is actually a pretty good experience builder for you. You could probably take on work from neighbouring farms, repairing their machines. Nit eure if it is worth while though
Thank you for sharing your project so that viewers can learn how to perform the repairs needed to keep a unit in shape. You are excellent as an instructor .
HI Jon. Obviously you could put a paint marker on the gland nut /body a visual indicator of coming loose. Best regards Don
I have the rut terminator for a couple of yrs never had a issue and a good company to deal with .u will need to know how much hyd flow u have so they can match the hyd motor to the machine
Well done.😊
Fantastic channel John,I'm abit like you but in Australia,Jack of all trades but master of none.Its the joy and satisfaction when a job is done and the sense of achievement when it works out well and of course giving a finger to the experts and saving a buck.
