How to Replace Your Pool Filter Pressure Gauge
Step 1
The first step is to turn off the pool pump to stop the flow of water through the pool cartridge filter.
Step 2
Next you will have to relieve the pressure that has built up in the pool filter. To relieve pressure turn the air relief valve on top of the filter counter-clockwise. Water will spray out initially as you see the pressure on the pool filter pressure gauge go to 0 psi.
Step 3
Twist the base of the pool filter pressure gauge counterclockwise to remove the gauge from the top of the pool filter head. You may have to use an open-end wrench to loosen the gauge. If you twist too hard from the top of the pressure valve, you may break the valve.
Step 4
Wrap the threads of the pressure gauge with 3 layers of plumbers Teflon tape. Wind the tape CLOCKWISE as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. DO NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope.
Step 5
Hand tighten and then turn the base of the gauge 1/4 turn with an open end wrench. DO NOT over tighten.
Step 6
Turn on power to the pool pump to repressurize the pool filter.
Step 7
The air relief valve should still be open. As the pressure builds, air will be released through the relief valve. When water starts to spray out of the valve, turn the valve clockwise to close it.
Step 8
Check the pressure gauge. It typically reads between 10 – 20 psi but this will vary according to the make of pool cartridge filter or its age.

Flush or Run Your Jet Ski – Water Hose Connection

#jetski, #seadoo, #waverunner, #winterize
This video shows you how you can run and flush your jet ski on land with a water hose hookup. Just take a garden hose and connect it like I do in the video and run the jet ski for about 5 minutes to clean out the cooling system.

This works on all kinds of brands like Kawasaki jet ski, Polaris seadoo, Yamaha waverunner, and Honda Aquatrax. The water hose connection may be in a different location on different models.

This is a video showing the work that I did to change the hydraulic fluid on the John Deere 450C track loader. The hydraulic filter fell apart in the tank and it needed to be pulled out and cleaned.

I filled the tractor with 303 universal tractor fluid and its back up and working fine.

John Deere 450C Oil Change

I am changing the oil on my John Deere 450 C Bulldozer. This process will be the same for any of the 450-C family of crawlers. We also have a JD 450c Track Loader and the process is the same.

These JD 450s are great older crawler/loader/dozers and are pretty easy to work on. Parts are still available and parts tractors are rather cheap to find.

I have the service manual for this dozer and will be doing all the work on it myself. I will try to get videos of everything I do on it so check back for more.

John Deere 450C Bulldozer

So we bought a JD 450-C bulldozer. Its a 1980 dozer with 6 way blade. I look it over and run it to make sure it all functions correctly. I have the service manual for it that I had purchased and downloaded online. I am going to go through it and replace the fluids, lube it up and fix some of the hoses.

The service manual has lots of great information about servicing these older dozers and keeping them running. The John Deere 450C is a popular model that has most of the parts still available and parts machines are all over.
