Warran,I love watching you work.I am 71 and the last tractor I worked on was a 1947 modelA John deere and a 1949 MFarmall.The new stuff messes with my head.Bless you brother for what you do .
Thanks Jim in PA, it is always good to have peer to sanity check an issue that somehow we lose the thinking path about. Thanks Warren for sharing and the exposure you have gotten over the years with other peers on your YT channel, that you would not have gotten working out of your shop by yourself. Take care folks in whatever you do!
Always ask if in doubt, we all learn every day of our lives, enjoyable to hear experience advice given freely from the best in the business. hello from Dublin Ireland all your subs and thank you for your time and video's.
Way to go Jim in PA. And this is a great lesson for the egotistical (obviously budding) technicians out there. Don't be too self-absorbed to ask for help. Someone has seen your problem, and only trick is establishing your network before your despite. I used iATN and my membership was invaluable. Good work Warren, honor a friends, even if you think you know!
That’s a fact, I’ve worked with several technicians over the years that were way too big headed to even dare ask for help and I saw it bite them in the ass many a times. I’ve been working with a a fellow tech now for over 10 years and obviously we’ve become good friends and we will ask each other for help as much as needed to get each other out of a jam. It’s very easy to get locked in on a problem and struggle to see past what you’re looking at and sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes on the problem.
Good catch Jim in PA. Warren's a good guy and knows a lot, but there is always someone that knows a little bit more and it's very special when they are willing to help another person out. Awesome channel Warren. Keep it up.
Thanks Jim, nice catch you guys. Warren nice piece of head work on the disassembly of the rear, that’s where your experience saves your customer money and helps make money and time for you to enable you to clear jobs out of the shop quicker. Nothing like experience and resource people to help solve problems. I learned a couple things from the vid, thank you sir, looking forward to other videos to come.
It always helps to have another "noodle" to ask, way to go Jim in P.A.! No dishonour in being stumped on a problem. That's why we have our networks of folks we trust to ask questions and learn from. Young guys need to realize, that it's that "shared" knowledge they need to develop to become competent in their trades. Well done Warren (and again Jim) nice to see you found the problem "with a little help from your friend". Sorry gratuitous music reference.. Stay Safe & thanks for the share!
Everyone has to phone a friend once in a while. Thanks for pointing Warren in the correct direction. Thanks Warren for being honest and acknowledge when you needed help. Appreciate your videos. Thanks Sir.
Thanks Jim back in P.A. great video Warren you've been working on those tractors long enough it's gets hard to remember everything you've fixed or troubleshoot. It's always nice when other mechanics can help you out stay safe.
Warren, before I forget again, I saw one hell of an interesting tool on another channel, can't remember which, but it was called a "Fender Lizard" that looked damned useful. It's really built to let mechanics do a one-man brake bleed, but it might be worth checking out for shift levers, etc. It's a pneumatic cylinder you hook up to an air source and it has a remote-control button so you get under the car, crack the bleeder and hit the button and the thing extends and pushes down the brake pedal (it's hooked to the steering wheel). Hit the button again and it releases.
Thanks Jim in PA! It's great when Warren gets some much need advice on a repair! I liked "I'm just thinking out loud--and you guys are thinking with me." Oh great! Warren's giving us home work!! Lol! I can't think--out loud or otherwise!! Great video!!
Hey Warren, great job on diagnosing the differential. Even though you had help, you knew who to call. There is something to knowing the right people! Way to help Warren out Jim in PA. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks Jim in PA. Always nice to have friends to bounce ideas off. Always balances out over time in my experience. Lot of work to get her torn down, wise to replace stuff while you in there.
I remember once a friend of mine had a special cable he couldn't find a replacement for, so he just cut off the stripped out shank of the adjuster threaded end and welded some matching threaded stock back on. Worked like a gem.
Lonesome Dove is the Best Movie EVER...I love that Movie ..Could you imagine riding with those Guys back then...It would be AWESOME...Great Video Sir as ALWAYS...Thank You for taking us all Along...
Nice find Warren and many thanks to Jim in PA for the help. It doesn't take much sometimes to cause something to bind from wear. I noticed you had a hell of a time getting those discs separated as you tried to inspect them. Could they be worn enough as well to cause the smooth surface stickiness? I see where you can put two smooth surfaces face to face and the lock together almost like you glued them together. They put grooves in auto trans clutch discs to let fluid move in and out of the stack to allow them to slide or grip. Yeah, low hydraulic fluid will make a pump look bad when there is not enough fluid to even pump. Still a puzzle on the broken cable. It did break at the end of the threads so it could simply be fatigue but you will let us know what you find soon. Thanks for making the effort to do these videos. I much appreciate all the effort. I learn a lot from viewing them. I hope the swivel hook I sent for your engine lift fits your need to attach multiple strap loops in it.
moisture could be causing a short in the TCU, and when it slightly warms up, the moisture evaporates. Or a circuit board has a tiny crack in the conduction, which closes with heat.
Thanks to Jim for his advise in this repair and thanks to all the others who Warren has mentioned, and to those who are willing to lend a hand/tool/advise without reward for acknowledgment, I say thanks for it shows that overall there is good everywhere, you just need to be willing to look or listen. Mike StL
Hi Warren, this was a puzzle, but shout out to Jim at PA, it's not what you know ,but who you now,lol, thanks for another interesting video mate, keep plugging away at it, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, and I hope your mum's doing ok, Stuart Uk.
Hey Warren did you figure out how the traped oil escapes the diff lock when the solenoid is not powered. I was thinking Either the solenoid housing has a dump hole or the piston has a bleed off Orifice. Good content as always thanks.
Good work, good friend… in that there “Jim” fella Warren was talking kindly about…. All the way back in Pa., Good on you man. Great video, Thank you Warren
Thanks Jim however it shows how dedicated you are to your craft and that not only did you reach out for a second apinon you also showed two of the most important things tought to any member in or who has in the past served in the military police ems or fire service as I learned as a member in the military once you master the fact that one the team concept two the buddy system and three last but not least important use your enishitve to solve the problem in your case you sought the advice of a fellow heavy equipment mechanic it wasn't a case of not knowing what the issue was it was you just needed a second pair of eyes and that's were the team and buddy system came in further you reamined me of a Sgt I had who took me under his wing and tought me there are two ways to do a job the right way and his way and his way was better than the right bleeping way and that's the whole concept of basic training once you master the concept of the purpose of it and then as I like to say it's along with many challenges we face in life it becomes mind over matter and it becomes a walk in the park rather than a unsolvable problem
Hello Warren I had a similar problem with a speed sensor when it was cold and we found that the wire wound core must have had a small break in the coil that was just starting to fail. Once it was warm it worked fine but it took a few starts to get it warmed up enough for it to stop throwing codes. Once we changed the sensor the problem went away.
When you said that u wish for a second person...I was like every time I watch you I wish I was there to help..just way more enjoyable with two people. But those two people have to be passionate about their work together opportunity
Was wondering if you had a helper when communicating your thought process to RU-vid. Just a brain nudge from a friend, boom, comes flooding back. Great work.
I must watch your video's to much, because as soon as i saw the paccar sticker, my thought was Warren is gonna call that 13x engine a piece of shit lol. I needed a laugh today, and to see the wheels a turning in your head doing some figuring, and fixing. God bless you and yours.
Only when it is cold? Perhaps you should check the battery for proper voltage, Charging system kicks in and the codes go away. Thank you for all that you show us.
when you had tractor on block and turning wheel, diff lock was not on, transhmision wasnt turning but other wheel was turning oposit way, it was working corectly when tractor was shut down
Good work Jim, there is something wrong with you Warren, you are supposed to take credit for that , like the modern day crayon eaters ( kidding) . That is half the reason I watch you , because you are a good man. Keep it up.
Just a Q: how does the wheels spining in opposite directions show the difflock is on? Should the not be turning in the same direction? Wheels spinning in opposite directions usually shows open diff and transmission in gear, not?
I love that product modification name Anti sneeze. Just think if there were a real product out there that could earn such a name financially it would be a gold mine I love it
I have some new found respect for you. I never realized how heavy those Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrenched we're until I had to remove a couple dozen 1" bolts. You act like they they weigh nothing at all.
Nice job on the diff warren , is that dif the same as a 20 series with the bolted centre spider which gears spin on ,which breaks the Allen bolt ,would it not be a good idea to fit the Support which is a mod on 20s and standard on 30s cheers keep up the great work 👍
