Replacing injectors on a 2014 TDI VW Passat
2014 Passat TDI. I had a check engine light pop, investigated with my code reader and found something I didn't really like. Code indicated cylinder 3 injector was failing so I figured since I was going to be into it that I would replace all 4. At the time of this repair the car has about 120k miles on it.
I sourced the injectors from https://vw.oempartsonline.com
All other required parts are from https://www.idparts.com

Caterpillar 242D water in fuel tank repair and changing some filters
One of the many projects....Caterpillar 242D. As you may have seen in a previous video I mentioned that there was water leaking into my fuel tank and pointed it out in the video https://youtu.be/jentOXBfNPo (about 7:50 in). Well this is the fix that I came up with. In addition to fixing the leak I also go through replacing the fuel filters as well as the air cleaner elements.

Part 3 shipping container remodel and starting repairs on Caterpillar 242D
Its been rather busy since the weather has become nice. I have pretty much finished the shipping container remodel, during that time I was also unpacking/re-packing all the "stuff" that was stored. Not a whole lot of videos of me finishing the shipping container though. I will also be fixing my Caterpillar 242D and begin that task in this video as well.

Shipping container remodel pt 2
The second installment of my shipping container remodel. In this one I am building the large work bench indicated on my design. I do spare you watching me move all the stuff out before I begin building. This work bench is about as custom as custom gets as other than the idea of where I want it and the approximate length there are no designs to follow. The third and final video will be finishing the small bench, wiring all the outlets and a final overview of the remodel.

I have finally finished cutting apart the old home built brush rake!
As the title says I am finally done with cutting apart the home built brush rake. This took me some time to do, I did take my time to maximize the amount of steel I was able to save so it could have gone much faster had I not done that. With cost of materials though it was well worth taking the time to save as much as I could.

Caterpillar 303 CR Travel Valves Leak (Part 1)
My Caterpillar 303 CR leaks hydraulic fluid from the travel valves. It has done this since I bought it and I suspect quite a while before that. With the help of my Dad we dig in to see if we can get it fixed. Having never done this before and not finding any technical data we muddle around for a while trying to figure this out. Mistakes are included in the video.

This video is the beginning of my Caterpillar 303 CR mini excavator. This machine is a 2004 model and has seen some use, it has just over 5000 hrs on it now and I purchased it used about 9 months ago.
