That Cresent was called a Japanese spanner or a meany 1/16ths. Well i guess I'm showing my age. I did field repairs back in the 70 to 75 for deer industrial. Ben mechanic and millwrite. I am 77 and retired. I enjoy all your work and attitude keep it up.
It is amazing to me how you can come back in a few days with a few new parts and reassemble all that wiring and tubing. Keep up the good work. I enjoy being amazed..
Your memory of all the disconnects and such is amazing. I'd be putting tags on everything so I did not forget where the parts fit back. I end up with something not connected and squirting at start up.
Your knowledge of so many different types of equipment amazes me..I don't understand most of the technical stuff but it's a pleasure to watch you fix any problem thrown at you..
The knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience with which you attack situations reminds me of something I heard years ago from a lady; she said: "he was all over me like a new boyfriend". The running commentary of the various valves, wire, fittings, and then a little background noise gets pegged as a particular model of hay squeeze coming around the corner by your shop. Never missed a beat and got a compliment in to the dog with the same breath. Done this before have you? From a former resident of Southern Alabama (1954 til 1967), I hope you get to visit the state of Alabama. It will be a better place for having hosted you even briefly.
Hey Warren, thanks for sharing another great video as always your knowledge and experience is priceless to your customers and us as well. Nice use of the "Chinese fit-all" / nut wrecking spanner. Keep up the great work. Catch you on the next one.
Another good one Warren, had to watch your last two videos back to back just to get primed up for another week of work. Keep up the great work and have a safe week.
When ever taking off a valve block - air tanks - anything with a bunch of lines hooked to it......... I always - never forget my 8" - 10" - 12" - 16" adjustable end wrenches A hand full of angle wrenches comes in handy for the tight spots, but....crescent wrenches are the best. I'm with ya Warren - keep up the good work. Like your video's 👍👌
if you come to alabama i sure would like to come meet you.thanks for a good show. seems to me you can fix anything. thanks for your time as always. hardest working man on utube.
Haven't watched yet, but just seeing the title, I thought," Ah...Warren is doing another John Deere." Hope the fired the hydraulics engineers. What a reputation this tractor company is getting! ☺
Now I'm laughing because there is no way you can go get a Dresser running down in Alabama without your service truck. That truck is your life line. I'm kidding. You could probably get it going with a screwdriver! Interesting challenge for you!
The Nut Fucker wrench looks as though it has seen a lot of work. I guess the hounds get a little bored hanging around the workshop,much more fun in new places.
I’m guessing the expert trolls never had to crawl onto a piece of equipment with tools and parts in hand. Otherwise they would understand. We may have some gear in k falls on a job if any of it breaks down I know the guy I’m recommending to the boss to work on it!
Hi Warren, can I trouble you with a JD hitch question? Have a 6410 premium that over a couple of weeks has become very weak on the hitch, the front loader and on the remotes. Steering seems ok. At present the hydraulic pump has started to whine constantly. It has the large 41cm3 piston pump in it and about 7000 hours on the clock, but over all in good shape. Pressure on the remotes are now about 900 psi on idle and about 2000 psi at full throttle. By the sound and the behavior I would think that the pump is starving for oil. Talked to some local JD mechanics and they said they had never seen one of this type of pump go bad so they suggested filters and checking the screen is clear. Checked the oil and it is clean (looks like new). Changed both filters and checked the screen, no sign of metal shavings. No improvement. So, I’m guessing either something is depriving the pump of oil (suction tube/hose? Somewhere it’s drawing air?), something is stuck open for return so it constantly is at full stroke returning to tank or the pump (the feed pump below the main pump maybe?) is done for. Seen similar symptoms or any suggestions on how to verify if the pump is in fact worn out? Really enjoy your videos and appreciate you actually taking the extra time and effort in your busy day to film them for us! Br, Knut
erazor257 have you checked the hitch valve? The valve on the back with stepper motor where the spool valves are. They are known to crack and internal leak. Might be causing your problems.
Hey, I know that issue. I pulled the whole shaft out of it´s housing, which connects the hitch arms. My boss wanted me to put grease plugs into the housing. But what we did not do, was lathing grooves into the shaft so that the grease can spread all around. I was only an apprentice back then, so I couldn´t do much more. But I think with a grease plug on each side and a lathed in groove in the shaft, you get some grease in and also the grease is a seal vs. water. The only thing than can worry is the deapth of the groove. To deep and you create major weak points on the shaft. EDIT: Oh, this block has grease fittings already. Now Im curious what the reason was.
Napa sockets! Keep an eye on the quarterly sale flyers snap-on quality harbor freight prices I got the 3/8" metric impact low profile set 6mm-19mm for $35
I like the Napa sockets also the Carlisle swivel head ratchet is strikingly similar to the Matco. I really like the Gearwench impact sockets and wrenches also.
I was taking the head off my ford 1700 tractor the other day and was thinking about you while taking the injector lines of I was using the adjustable end wrench laughing about your trolls worded good for me... great video I love your stuff.. keep on keeping on 🚜🚜🚜😉🍺🍺
It’s pretty much constant hydraulic power for an independent valve to control flow. Used on loaders, bale stackers, and other things that have independent valves. Then you can have less hoses and you don’t need so many remotes.
enjoy watching you do these videos, i have my dads old britool socket set and when he used to be a plant fitter in the 1960s to the 1970s it went every where with him, i use it on my boat with twin vovlo aq21a engines and noticed the patina on the rachet and some of the sockets, do you have any favorite tools you have used for years...
I find your video's amazing and after watching several (and besides the Cat Dozer resurrection) it seems 90% of your calls would be eliminated IF people did basic maintenance like greasing the fittings for joints and moving parts. I understand time is money on a farm(and just about everywhere else) but repairs and downtime cost a lot too.
Hey warren, I’m an international truck technician and I work at the dealer and I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of guys saying why they don’t buy snap on tools, I have my fair share of snap on and lots of other brands, what’s your opinion of snap on?
Thanks Warren, these complicated hydraulic setups tend to confuse me with all the terminology and circuits. From what I've read, do I understand the priority is mainly for steering and brakes and then the system feeds your scvs'/remotes, hitch, etc. So is the stepper motor part of the pressure compensator system which increases pressure when under load?
Well you obviously work for a dealer, and have no clue what it's like to have a month or 2 of work in front of you that you are trying to get done in a week, or have to come up with the money for all these tools and plugs and supplies. I have bought a lot of caps and plugs, most of them are on a Volvo road grade and a cat 528 skidder torn apart that I'm waiting on parts, so get off your high horse and get your check book out and go on your own and lets see how long you survive.
western truck and tractor repair warren this was in no way a bash against you or what you are doing I enjoy your videos and thank you for taking the time to make them for us Just commenting is all
So if these tractors have everything to run auto steer why don’t they use deer. Is deere that expensive that these guys will buy aftermarkert when they all ready have everything installed from the factory. Wow deere must be way out of touch with pricing then
No, actually most of aftermarket auto steer systems years ago were the only ones to offer sub inch accuracy, where green star did not, but now they do. When installed those auto farm systems 10 years ago , they cost 40,000 per machine. So the guys wo bought into that equipment have such a huge investment in them that they pull those systems off old tractors and put on new. That system on this 6170r was originally on a 7330.
Plus Deere is making very hard for aftermarket auto steer companies to compete, because they are offering most of the components for auto steer as standard equipment, kind of like air conditioning on a car these days.
Yes, bumping the idle up helps, it takes heat for the regeneration process to work effectively and also idling is incomplete combustion and more soot buildup.
For decades it was perfectly normal to let a diesel idle for a half hour or so. Diesels just sip fuel at an idle and starting and stopping ten times in a day is actually harder on them. Since the nanny state has put all of this emissions crap on our diesels, things are different now. And mobile mechanics have a never ending supply of stuff to fix.
Jason Cassidy housing because it’s the housing that contains the rockshaft and it’s called a rockshaft because it doesn’t rotate 360 it just rocks back and forth like a rocking chair for example
