I have the same job, but in Scandinavia. These guys are awesome! Great work and skills 👍 and basically everybody in this business are as weird/funny as these guys 😂 never get too serious, or you will go insane 😎 I wonder if they ship tracks to Scandinavia? I want to support this channel 👍👍
@@emilpedersen6255 We will eventually be doing an international tour to meet some of our supporters in other countries. If you want to be involved in some way, or would like us to do a truck tour, and maybe a day-in-the-life video with you, the first step would be to fill out the join-the-network form (www.tekamohd.com/join-the-tekamohd-network/). Then you should email us media@tekamohd.com to further discuss how this might be possible. We greatly appreciate your support and would love to eventually meet up with some of our international community.
When you returned to the job site I was thinking.. 5 hour drive that would suck if you forgot the hoses and seconds later you said you did. Lol. Thanks to josh for the solid.
Way back when I was younger, I did what you do. I don’t miss those muddy, hydraulic fluid soaked coveralls. In 2000, my son was born and in ICU. I had to scrub my hands to be able to see him. It took 3 days of scrubbing each time I arrived to get all the grunge from under the fingernails. I am 59 now and sure don’t miss working on heavy equipment! Electronic technician is much cleaner and pays well now.
One thing I like to do when I’m working on the hoses under the turret is take a narrow track whole bucket and dig about a 3 foot deep trench and pull the machine over the top so you’re not having to crawl around on your back. It is awesome for access and keeps you from rolling in the mud. Safety guru’s will cry about it, but it takes 2 minutes and makes getting under so much easier!
Jesus, you ain’t lying about a challenge, doesn’t look like this thing was ever serviced or even been worked on. Look how pointed the damn sprocket segments are lmao! Wow
Oh man, this is the shiz nit for content! Very awesome, Im so jealous of that “office”, so cool to have to take a ferry out to work. Today I was out to a 583 side boom, one of the fan blades came out of the hub, and completely annihilated everything! Busted the fan Hub support off the front cover of the engine, which broke the mounting bosses right off the front cover, then the whole works fell into the radiator and smashed it to smithereens. So I had to go out and get it somewhat able to run enough to be able to rig it out, get the boom off and pull the counterweights off of it so we can haul it home. Then the Zoom boom got stuck since it poured like 2” of rain in the last couple days. Lmao. Good times! Anyway thanks for the awesome video
We need more and longer videos with Cam! Just found this channel the other day and am instantly hooked! As a career equipment mechanic myself and well it’s my hobby too I 1000% relate with Cam! He has the same attitude and acts just how I or coworkers in this industry do. Plus he seems to be a natural in front of the camera! So I hope to see more and longer service call/repair videos in the future as I will definitely be following along!
Love the shit talk on parts guys😂 Worked the parts counter at a truck shop for two years any only got crap from the techs. New favorite channel for sure!
Easily my new favorite channel. Great content. I come from the industrial hvac world but good to see all the guys in the trades are the same. Salt of the earth brothas
Just the guy that washes the stuff for the mechanics... it is extremely helpful seeing what these guys actually do when i leave and wash another machine, so I can make their job even easier and learn more. Thank you, get some merchandise!
Great video as always! I've been in the farm tractor repair business for over 40 years, in the shop and in the field, but I still pick things up when I watch your videos. Keep em coming and I look forward to the new truck tour!
I grew up in Gibsons, love that little town but I moved up north for cheap homes and great jobs. Logging and the pulpmill are basicly the only industries
Great video guys. So professional work ethics. Worked this industry for many years. The general public has no idea of the tool investment required to do this. Worked with Finning for years. Thanks for the memories, the old school guy. I mean really old school. I turned 80 this year.
With the Duo-Cone if you don’t have the specific tool. I use a piece of SOS (sample tubing) tubing, it’s the like exact thickness. Wrap it around the gap between the back of the duo and the toric ring. Acts as a spacer and then just push it in. I think it’s easier than the specific tool to be fair.
Hi there iv started watching your channel again because it relates to what I do I'm semi retired now been at it for over 50 years. Very interesting to watch I'm watching you resealing a swing motor in a komatsu 200 iv just done one on a 13 tonne hitachi there all the same
Totally AWESOME show! I would love to watch the uncut version, LOL. This has become my favorite channel. Keep up the great work guys. Cam, your acting has you on the way to stardom! You're gonna walk the red carpet someday.........in your covies!!! LOL Stay safe!
I work as a diesel mechanic on a large landscaping fleet. I enjoy watching this so much, glad to see there are still some food guys un the industry!! Thanks Gents 👍
All this time I thought it just our shop that had strange guys making strange comments and dong strange things! Apparently after viewing this channel all HD mechanics are totally awesome!!!
