I worked as a drivetrain engineer for Case and have been involved in countless Carraro axle/brake rebuilds. I've never seen a Carraro axle disassembled vertically like this. This mechanic is extremely creative and capable!
I hear you loud and clear. My wife says the same thing. Warren has shown me things I didn't know. There are some things the books don't explain. But experience does.
Warren, you amaze me, a one man operation, you tackle some difficult jobs, you think outside the box to solve difficult jobs, you are an original Mc Gyver, I would want you to be on my neighborhood survival team if the day ever came. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Lol for the first 18 years of my life between my pop my grandpa and my uncle I thought my name was Fuk oh ! Lol! They were all tough Germans but ya know what it made me driven to work hard and persevere! I decided 2 years ago that no more Sundays for work! I’m 49 now and missed a lot of my kids growing up and family time and no time to de compress! I finally listened to my wife and you know one day off makes a world of difference! You take care thanks for sharing bud 👍
Thank you for all the great information. I know nothing about being a real mechanic but really appreciate the time effort and detail you go into. I run road work machines for a living and work in the shop a couple days a month. Please keep making videos I watch them all the time you help me understand so much about the machines I'm running its incredible. Not that it directly applies to a wirtgen 7 foot mill, but its got 2 cummins engines in it and a diesel is a diesel is a diesel. Just thank you for spreading your knowledge and never holding back or with holding information. I truly enjoy your videos thank you for your time and effort it has helped me learn a huge amount.
Love your work ethic. You know you can only go so fast or you will wind up sick like I did. I got so sick that I wound up ruining my health. I was not happy unless I had 15 projects going in a day but I had to learn the hard way that I wasn’t Superman.
You might want to contact BSFN Rail or U.P Rail they can point you in the right direction. I had a pick up truck shipped from Columbus Ohio to Stockton CA about ten years ago. It was cheaper than commercial truck. I used BSFN They took care of me and I was able to track the train and knew what rail car my truck was on. Good luck. Also I enjoy your videos you do fantastic work. Keep them coming. Be safe.
Don't get me wrong you obviously know what you're doing but I spotted two huge safety risks - dude you need to be more careful!! First error was no supports for when you were under the machine. Just takes a hose to pop or a seal to fail and you're screwed. Supports went in later but you need them in straight away. Second error was your crane brushing several times onto the power lines. Yes they're insulated but it's not good practice! Peace dude but please take care.
I went full throttle for years and was in the hospital twice because I run myself completely out of gas. Got sick and then infection set in. Was not fun at all. The funny thing is I don't have anymore now then I did then. The X spent as fast as I could make it and the kids with the hands out. Now I'm a real prick because I quit filling up the hands and the X has moved on to a young stud that is dumb as I was at his age. Money will fuck a good day up real quick. Stop and take a nap and then sit on the front porch and drink a few dozen cold ones. It good for you once and a while.
I did not see any jack stands under that 580 for some time was worried for your safety them out riggers could fail your safety is number 1 you have to go home at the end of the day
At my garage it seems as though work goes in same types of spurts. Last week was transmission swap week. I had a week where I workec on about 10 cars and every one of them was repairing someone else's shitty job. One was the small crossover pressure lines on a power steering rack that rubbed on the dipstick tube. Another was a trailblazer with inline 6 engine. Had a tube for the heater core that started on left front of motor ran back and around bellhousing to the heater core. Well that tube has 2 tabs that go under the top 2 bellhousing bolts. Someone more than likelyt changed the transmission (4l60e) and installed top 2 bolts but not through the bracket so the tube rubbed on the manifold and put a hole in it. Only way to get the tube out is to pull engine or transmission. We JB Welded it and it lasted until her transmission went out durring last weeks transmission swap run.
the buckets on the boom to catch the fluid, at least they are recycling.my uncle would try and bye cars with a oil leak, he said it was getting a oil change..
I had an 84” roller in the shop with the engine out of it for a year and a bit. Every time a manager would call me for a service call I would say “This is why it never gets done.” Just one more service call, then another and another... I guess I shouldn’t complain, thanks to Covid, I finally got to 3 rollers that had been sitting for 4 years waiting for me.
Hahahahah I know all about running engines without the jake heads, I went to a call out where a bloke who had a few old Mack’s was running his valve set on a E7 Mack engine and lost where he was up to and couldn’t work out where he was up to. Anyhow, I figured out where he was up to and finished it up for him. Decided to run it up without the jake heads and sprayed oil all over the place, was dripping from the roof of the shed and all sorts!! Made a right mess. You live and you learn aye!
That Vickers valve is a standard DO3. It should be pretty easy to match up unless it is some very special application requiring odd features like spring returned to A or B rather than centered with both off. I had one like that that took weeks to source and had to come through Ford ( working on an old CF7000 dual steering system) even though it was a Parker branded DO3 valve. Had I ordered it through a Parker distributor it would have cost even more and they would not even estimate an ETA to get it.
Did your buddy buy a backhoe if he did check u-ship that is how I had mine moved from upper Ohio to me in West Ky. It was a super l just like you are working on.
glad to hear you are doing better. both of your numbers are filled up. I know this might be a sore subject, but sometime you are going to need to hire someone with some knowledge.
Hi Warren, I know exactly what you mean when it comes to getting tired and fed up. What pisses me off the most is when folk change their mind on projects/jobs/repairs and rates and then they pay fucking late because they pay two invoices when it suits them but they want work doing when it suits them. The result can then be that work piles up, you work seven days a week and you have no time for a break away from work and no cash to fund the repairs to do the job.
16:32 if someone's been around something more than someone else then the person that's been around that thing is better at it than the person that hasn't been around it. Nothing wrong with it, specialization is normal and natural
I have tons of those Eaton/Vickers spool valves laying around. Is the valve itself bad or just the 12v coil? I've seen them get stuck but they're easily disassembled and repaired. I have a supplier as well.
Hi all, I just picked up a 1986 Super E runs great for cottage work but the need to push the brake pedal through the floor to stop it, I'm new at this so I'm assuming it needs breaks, can anyone recommend where I can get a repair and parts manual for this unit ? local Case dealer cant get me one at the moment any idea's on the breaks. Many thanks for your input.
Always Figure 8 a chain around your Outrigger, Hook it up tite, THAT way it can't leak down, EVEN if you had a unpredictable thunderstorm come through. I had a friend, a Jack come down on him , AND killed him, I had another friend working under a dump truck bed, HE wasn't going to be under there very long, He should have safed it up , WITH a 4x4. And another timber, crossways, where the bed scissors in the back, To hold the bed up, but he accidentally, stepped on that emergency cable, that drops the bed, it come down on him before he could get out from under it, AND it cut him, into, they found him an hour or two later, Safety First, THERE'S no reason to be in that big a hurry,
That play is the clearance between your ring and pinion in your differential. You can remove that clearance by shimming your ring gear closer to the pinion. If the clearance is too much you may need to replace parts!!
*Buckets on cylinders to catch hydraulic leaks? Man, That's a lot better than the Case 570 I used at the irrigation district in Banta California. That's not far from Manteca where Homes Tractor is. That district was so cheap, boss got mad cause I bought electrical tape on the company account already on sale.*
I don’t see any “Safety” blocks or jack stands. You are hoping the hydraulic system holds the equipment up. At lease block the hydraulic cylinder shaft with something.
I actually work for the railroad in Alabama. You'll do WAY better shipping just one piece over the road. if he bought 6 or 8 then it would be worth it. Otherwise id tell your friend not to waist his time, it would cost 10 times as much. Its different than shipping a vehicle by rail. One excavator will take an entire railcar and depending on its size it will be a specialized load which carries a higher cost. Also, with vandals it may arrive with all the windows busted out and be spray painted with graffiti.
yah, I got hospitalized in my 30's for exhaustion. I slept for two days. ambulance had to haul me away from wife and kids. doctor prescribed fatigue from overwork.
Not trying to be your safety officer but I noticed the tractor is only supported by the stabilizers I sure would hate to hear you were killed for lack of safety stands. Just a gentle reminder we all can forget to keep our selves safe. We would all miss your help my friend
Hey Warren, give BNSF a call, they can flat car just about anything anywhere. Here's the link: www.bnsf.com/ship-with-bnsf/pricing-and-tools/index.html Cheers, Hope that helps... P.S. Thanks for putting the jack stands under that baby, had me a bit nervous..lol
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 No worries Warren happy to help. They can get it to the closest railway siding to your shop if you choose to go that way..
