That's right! This Kubota KX121-3 has been sitting in a field for over 2 years. If I can get it running, I can have it!

    There is a New Zealand based man whose you tube Chanel is under the name of Marty T. He resurrects abandoned machinery and brings them home for his own use. His neighbour had an abandoned excavator deep in his forest that he rescued. In another video he finds a TD9 bulldozer abandoned due to mechanical issues.

    Nothing more satisfying than getting an old piece of equipment back in service. Nicely done, Sam.

    A little tip from someone who found out the hard way..... If You had rotated the machine so that the cab end faced the blade, You would have had much more room to work on the blade hose. Also applies to greasing the blade pins. Good job.

    That is a first for me. I have never seen someone fill an engine with oil using a beer bong. LOL Nice job.
  • Smart brother. He got it fixed and stored until he needs to borrow it again šŸ¤£šŸ‘šŸ¾

    Make sure you change the gear oil in both final drives. Itā€™s very easy, thereā€™s three screw caps in it. Line them up, take the top out, then the bottom. When you fill it up turn it 15 degrees and leave the top off, screw in the bottom and fill from the top. When it comes out the middle itā€™s full. This will save you in the long term

    Those are excellent little machines, well worth your time and effort!
  • Sam, You have talked about renting an excavator; however, you made a wish, and it came trueā€”great job getting it running and servicing the machine.
  • @jeffy1466
    Awesome video. I love bringing something back to life. I have an old cub lowboy 184 that needs an engine rebuild and lots of seals. Its something that ive been putting off for a couple years but I am excited for when the funds come to do the rebuild.
  • Heck yea great score. Thank you brother. Iā€™m excited for you.!! The Devine intervention, was YOU šŸ˜‰šŸ¦¾

    Mice and squirrels, the mortal enemy of country folks. You got off easy. Buddy of mine has a kx121. Nice sized machine.
  • As a small excavator owner power wash that excavator it will help with maintenance and spotting leaks etc. Look it over before every use and the clean machine makes it easier. You will be amazed how much quicker projects will be completed. It's a win win for you and your brother.
  • @Dan-oz4qb
    Wish I had a brother. šŸ˜ƒ Nice work Sam. The overdue maintenance isn't a big deal. That mice damage was a real concern but fortunately it worked out too.
  • @user-scooter1965
    Nice job Sam on repairing and servicing the mini x. That will be soooo handy to have around the property. I think both you and your brother are benefiting from this arrangement. šŸ‘
  • @frank-t6857
    New to your channel. Nice video. Don't forget to write the hours and date on the new filters so you know when to do the next maintenance. It's easy to forget.
  • @tipperryan
    By all accounts those 121-3's are great machines. What an awesome deal for the both of you
  • I have a Takeuchi TB216 and love it! So much better than the backhoe on my tractor! Looking great Sam!
  • @Harry-qf8gh
    Great job! I'm sure you'll enjoy using the excavator and getting stuff done! šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘

    Thatā€™s so cool! Me and my brother share 82 acres of land together and we constantly help each other out! So much fun! šŸ˜‚
