all this talk of AI, but no one ever talk about HI

hillbilly intelligence

seal up hydraulic/diesel, give up on the last cylinder

View attachment 143531

all your fittings from your FEL, take them all out, glob it all in gasket, make them tight

there was nothing wrong with the fitting, you just didnt fasten it all the way

View attachment 143532

seal you everything

View attachment 143533

the diesel leak was so obvious, one of your injectors from all that pressure, come loose, you surgically seal it

View attachment 143534

seal your diesel line

decision: you were defeated by that last hydraulic cylinder, clean it, and glob gasket maker around the seals, and hope for the best

go ahead and reassemble your hydraulic cylinder, and your hydraulic robot should not produce bubble since you seal up all hydraulic route, and your engine should not sputter out since you solved the diesel leak

you should be able to carve earth today even if one of your hydraulic cylinder still leak a bit, the hydraulic system should not produce bubble and your robot should function fine

View attachment 143536

do you a hillbilly rebuild, glob gasket maker and hopefully the pressure pushes it into the leaking area

mistake, why you were not light on your feet:

all of those leaks could have been fixed in a day or less, you were heavy on your feet, striking away, not thinking

come you back to being light on your feet
Beautiful work! ;)

hydraulics work, but still leaking cylinders

unbelieveable, the 2 cylinders you fully sealed are leaking,

but the 2 cylinders that defeated you are not leaking

wrap your head around that narrative while you go change the shape of your realm

machine fully stuck in the dirt, hydraulics doing same thing, work when its cold, then nothing when it get hot, add some more fluid

20241204_164925.jpg


add you 5 gallon hydraulic fluid, there are about 10 gallons of fluid total inside

describe what happens: turn on your engine, hydraulics work, 5 minutes later, hydraulics lock up

there are zero visible leaks, and you can see ton of fluid inside transmission, not bubbly

there is whining when hydraulics work, zero whining when they dont work

3 point hitch works fine when hydraulics work, does not work when hydraulics lock up

some dinosaur probably know the problem, go take off your hydraulic filter and see whats inside

20241204_171145.jpg



take of cover of filter, let it spill out, work for 15 minute, hydraulic lock up

20241204_175244.jpg


take you out your filter, boom, your hillbilly instinct was right

filter fully clogged, the fluid dirty

clean it surgically, put it in, run it for time, take it out do it again

probably good to do a complete fluid flush

surgically clean you everything, zero fluid was able to go through it

proof that the answer is usually way simpler than you think


send them message that you are out the office changing the shape of your reality

Yes that is probably a good idea…
