I fortunately found my calling and truly enjoyed what I did for a living. It is said that if you find your calling you will never work a day in your life but I don’t think I would quite go that far with it. If a guy can find something he is good at, enjoys and can make a living doing he has been blessed.
I had just finished a John Deere 670 grader transmission around 1999 or 2000. The next job my boss gave me was a BobCat, R&R engine, new long block going in. I asked my boss “Did I piss you off on the grader, this bobcat sucks compared to the grader”.
Being able to see when turning wrenches is a option at best sometimes. Good to see it up and running on to the next repair. Job well done Warren and Blake.
Hi. Warren seeing you struggle by yourself a lot, I have an idea suggestion of epoxying or velcro some strong magnets on the back of your crane controller so you don't always have to put it on the ground. Just attach it close to where you can grab it without bending down to reach it.
You must be one wirey son of a gun to get your head and half your upper torso across the top and down behind that engine. No doubt about it, Blake's presence is a force multiplier. Wonderful narrative when a direct view was not possible. Thanks for another episode of "Warren at work".
Warren .... This is like trying to put 20 lbs of stuff in a 5 pound bag... I bet , you wish you had Gumby arms and hands on that Bobcat. Keep Wrenchin' !
Awesome job, you did the impossible with that Pete . You took someone else’s project and made it work . Not to many people can do what you did with that Pete . That was an amazing job . You should be proud of yourself. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. I’ve learned lots from you. And thank you.
Warn Thank you for all your efforts filming. I have taped some of my own jobs just for a personal record. I am always amazed how difficult it is to have a good image for the video and still get the work done at the same time. Its nice Blake is their with you this winter, You may want to get your old Ford Service truck running for him? Please be safe as you work.
When I managed a fleet of OTR trucks, we had a little trick to keep nuts, bolts, washers in place in blind or hard to get at places. Hot Melt glue gun. We got the smallest, cheapest ones we could find at the dollar store because, being plastic, they constantly got damaged or lost. Works wonders on those one-man jobs where you don't have enough hands or your arms are too short! Got a bolt that needs to come in from the bottom and no way to hold it? Put a big glob of glue on the bolt head, and the washer. Glue the bolt head to the washer and the washer to the hole. Like Mikee used to say, "try it you'll like it".
Thank you, been looking forward to this... what a royal pain to just replace the pan and motor mounts plus it’s so nice for them to create the problem in the first place. You did a great job!
Hi Warren, You are one hell of a mechanic!!! I don't know how you do it and to be so patient!!! I'd be throwing wrenches around cause I'd be so upset. Blake is also patient and is taking after you!!! Keep up the great work and may you and your family a Wonderful Holiday Season!!!🎄🎄🎄 I hope you take a break and put no wrenches in your hand for the Holiday Season!!! May God Bless you and your family!!!
Alot of these have fuel pick up tube screen issues. Bobcat has updated tube. Mine dies every 10 minutes. Have to change it under seat behind motor in top of plastic tank. Excellent work Thanks
Warren, like all good mechanics, feeling the bolt into the hole is always fun. Great job guy. Know we send our best to you and the family for a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks for sharing your special skills trouble shooting and getting errrr done attitude, in your videos.
As tough as this Bobcat job was it seems simple compared to the engine swap on the Peterbilt... You are an amazing mechanic.. pretty tough ol'kid too... Best Wishes from Wyoming..
Just did the drive pumps and motors on my 853 man what a bear that was, glad to see they made some of this stuff more accessible on the newer machines. It’s weird looking at this because the flywheel on mine is on the right side of the machine
Boy Warren hat's off to you that was a pain in the butt to work on just watching you and knowing tight places don't make it any easier but by dam you always get it done
VERY big Thank You goes to ya Warren,bought an 863 that was rolled on its side,then of course one of the connecting rods broke..( need new engine). Got one from Ephrata,Pa and 7k later im still puttin back together.This vid will help treemendously,good videos!!
Love your channel and videos Warren. I want to work on heavy equipment like you. But my local community college only has regular automotive classes. Grew up around heavy equipment and a shop.
Warren, you need to start a book and call it "my dream shop" and list everything you would want to have in a shop that you own. You know cool stuff like a covered steam/pressure wash bay, hot tank, gantry crane, open pit, recycle oil heater, exhaust extractor, concrete floor, 40,000 lb four pole lift you know the basics...lol Then your wife will never see you or Blake at home..lol Nice to dream, thanks for the video share, you guys be safe! Cheers!
Hi Warren , in a blind or tight spot cut a channel out the washer, that way you can put the mounting bolt through and the nut on a few threads len bar or lift the engine then slip the washer in let down and dog them up. stay safe.
I swear, Melrose must have hated all mechanics with the way they wedged everything in the back of their skid steers. Ingersol buying them out did not help matters, either. Good job on this.
Nothing like getting older and all twisted up in a knot bolting something up and a good cramp comes on and you can't unfold yourself. I bet the engineering people never experienced anything like that.
As always, nice video. Nothing like tryin to stuff 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bucket.....lol Lil tip for ya... When I need to clean something really dirty and dont wanna fire up the pressure washer or go thru two cans of brake clean at $10 a pop, I hit it with a handfull of gojo and a scrub brush, wipe it off all off and final with brake clean.
Nice bro always look forward to your uploads makes my week or day depending on when your upload is bro I have a 1987 Ford f700 that needs some work done I'm a little mechanical inclination but not very good at running down the electric short was wondering if you might have an idea to bad you don't live in South Texas
Did I miss the turbo problems? Nice catch on the turbo, did you change it? I own the exact 863g and I'll tell you that I do the basic maintenance on it. I was glad that you changed the $ 1.25 pickup tube. It stopped me dead in the water in the middle of a blizzard. Nice job, good luck!
A patient, alert , semi retired , semi skilled person that has done hazardous work maybe very helpful . Sobriety is usually an issue , but like the older equipment you work on , they may have a few puffs left in them .
2 GoPros with magnetic bases may help . You could edit out sections you don't like and stitch sections together that work best. Then maybe you could focus less on camera work during your work ?
Warren I feel for you on the voice mail, I just finished a job and told the owner take away I'm done with it, what all do you expect me to do for free .🤔
My John Deere 250 skidsteer needs motor mounts (again) it gets to doing the "hoochie-coochie" & break the muffler mount + the throttle arm is getting close to the fuel tank....Yikes.
Wouldn't it be nice it the entire unit slipped in and out an a sled that only required a few harnesses to be unplugged and a hose or two..or the side panels came off.
Sometimes engineers get a bad rap when it’s the penny pinchers in corporate that over rule a better design. Sometimes it is just piss poor engineers. Being an automotive mechanic for 30 years I’d have to say that overall Ford does some of the craziest stuff that causes them to be difficult to repair. There are exceptions though. Toyota used to be the most well thought out vehicles as far as repairing them. There are exceptions for them too.
You heathen, working on a Sunday. I say this sharpening chainsaw chains in the shop for a neighbor. Are the S250 bobcats about the same for engine removal?
I fortunately found my calling and truly enjoyed what I did for a living. It is said that if you find your calling you will never work a day in your life but I don’t think I would quite go that far with it.

A video from Warren A nice Sunday addition. Thanks Warren.

I've now seen parts of this machine I never thought I would have. You did good job Warren. Thank you.
Thank you
Back @ it as always! Some are lookin for 🏈 on sunday, we're on heavy equipment and AG time with Warren😏🤘
Ace B Id watch paint dry before id watch a bunch of kneeling thugs in the NFL.

You've got some schmo (oil) on your camera lens. Makes everything look like it has a soft focus filter.
Thanks for the upload, Warren.

You kind plugged for David Haley’s CZcams. If you have time, which is a priceless commodity, watch the CZcams harmless farmer.
Thank you, been looking forward to this... what a royal pain to just replace the pan and motor mounts plus it’s so nice for them to create the problem in the first place. You did a great job!
Hi Warren,
You are one hell of a mechanic!!! I don't know how you do it and to be so patient!!! I'd be throwing wrenches around cause I'd be so upset. Blake is also patient and is taking after you!!!

Excellent work Thanks
Good job ! One more of the list 👍🏻
What a pain in the ass. I’m always excited for your next video. I’ve have learned a few things from watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Great job Warren well done top man have a great Christmas and a happy New year be safe 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow I have been following you for the last few projects - I really enjoy spending the time! Thanks for sharing my friend!!
Warren, like all good mechanics, feeling the bolt into the hole is always fun. Great job guy. Know we send our best to you and the family for a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks for sharing your special skills trouble shooting and getting errrr done attitude, in your videos.
Job well done - quickly and efficiently. Even if another hole is rubbed into the Chinesium? pan, it shoudn't happen for a good long time.
As tough as this Bobcat job was it seems simple compared to the engine swap on the Peterbilt... You are an amazing mechanic.. pretty tough ol'kid too... Best Wishes from Wyoming..
Your a good one Warren. I like watching your work! But I really want one of those Astro lights. They look really handy! Todd the retired trucker.
Good job. I like watching all the stuff you work on I learn a few things thanks
Just did the drive pumps and motors on my 853 man what a bear that was, glad to see they made some of this stuff more accessible on the newer machines. It’s weird looking at this because the flywheel on mine is on the right side of the machine
doing the best you can with what you have to work with, great job Warren!
Boy Warren hat's off to you that was a pain in the butt to work on just watching you and knowing tight places don't make it any easier but by dam you always get it done

VERY big Thank You goes to ya Warren,bought an 863 that was rolled on its side,then of course one of the connecting rods broke..( need new engine). Got one from Ephrata,Pa and 7k later im still puttin back together.This vid will help treemendously,good videos!!
You know, without you have to be outside.. In the rain, snow, storm....
Love your channel and videos Warren. I want to work on heavy equipment like you. But my local community college only has regular automotive classes. Grew up around heavy equipment and a shop.

What a fortune, that there is so much space,
to work with the engine inside the machine.👍😂
Hi Warren , in a blind or tight spot cut a channel out the washer, that way you can put the mounting bolt through and the nut on a few threads len bar or lift the engine then slip the washer in let down and dog them up. stay safe.
i'm amazed at you mechanical aptitude and your ability to repair anything that is brought to you, don't care much for the profanity thought.
keep up the good work and keep the videos coming
I swear, Melrose must have hated all mechanics with the way they wedged everything in the back of their skid steers. Ingersol buying them out did not help matters, either. Good job on this.
Another job well done , next case ? 👍✌️
Nothing like getting older and all twisted up in a knot bolting something up and a good cramp comes on and you can't unfold yourself. I bet the engineering people never experienced anything like that.

I think the bobcat skidsteers are easier to work on then the newhollands.I have done work on both over the years guess all of them are a pain.
Thanks for showing me to never work on bobcats.....wow
Not looking forward to doing this myself yet again:( Do way too many of these jobs and they DO NOT get easier. You do it right Warren.
Nice bro always look forward to your uploads makes my week or day depending on when your upload is bro I have a 1987 Ford f700 that needs some work done I'm a little mechanical inclination but not very good at running down the electric short was wondering if you might have an idea to bad you don't live in South Texas
How goes it Warren? Love your videos. Hello from Minneola Florida!
Back in action again.
Very good, may I have another?
Good job what a pain in the butt putting back together . hey whatever happened to the Earth grader with the blown engine? I must of missed that clip
7 views, 14 likes, 14 comments? weird... Pretty cool vid Warren.
Lift the cab up you can get to the stuff in the back
I'm not so sure I would want to do this operation again.
Warran did you ever work on a Clark c500 y70 power steering. its hard to turn but easy when you lift the back wheels of the ground .
Did I miss the turbo problems? Nice catch on the turbo, did you change it? I own the exact 863g and I'll tell you that I do the basic maintenance on it. I was glad that you changed the $ 1.25 pickup tube. It stopped me dead in the water in the middle of a blizzard. Nice job, good luck!
Isn't it handy to have a gutter in you're shop so you can wash high pressure and it's washing away?
Im a 23 year navy retired person and even I get sea sick watching you
norm barr We won’t hold that against you.
A patient, alert , semi retired , semi skilled person that has done hazardous work maybe very helpful . Sobriety is usually an issue , but like the older equipment you work on , they may have a few puffs left in them .
2 GoPros with magnetic bases may help . You could edit out sections you don't like and stitch sections together that work best. Then maybe you could focus less on camera work during your work ?
Just wondering if the shop you are working in is yours or a place you rent to work in. Nice big place with lots of room.
Warren
I feel for you on the voice mail, I just finished a job and told the owner take away I'm done with it, what all do you expect me to do for free .🤔
Did you ever figure out why you were getting oil out of the turbo? Didn't see it get a rebuild.
Is Blake going to be working for the old man now.
That looked painfully complicated.
U need mouse hands to work in those small spaces !
People will bitch. They will find something. Just blow it off and continue making these great videos
My John Deere 250 skidsteer needs motor mounts (again) it gets to doing the "hoochie-coochie" & break the muffler mount + the throttle arm is getting close to the fuel tank....Yikes.
just think the 2x4 is almost the value of machine these days with the inflation
Is that a astro light? They are the best.
They really are. I bought one, I’ve had all sorts of lamps. This is the best I’ve had.....
Wouldn't it be nice it the entire unit slipped in and out an a sled that only required a few harnesses to be unplugged and a hose or two..or the side panels came off.
If the engineers were mechanic's they would have designed it different
Sometimes engineers get a bad rap when it’s the penny pinchers in corporate that over rule a better design. Sometimes it is just piss poor engineers. Being an automotive mechanic for 30 years I’d have to say that overall Ford does some of the craziest stuff that causes them to be difficult to repair. There are exceptions though. Toyota used to be the most well thought out vehicles as far as repairing them. There are exceptions for them too.
no wonder it cost so much money to work on stuff,they make shit nearly impossible to get too
You heathen, working on a Sunday. I say this sharpening chainsaw chains in the shop for a neighbor. Are the S250 bobcats about the same for engine removal?
It's a pain you don't have any room
Hey Warren I have a question about a project that I'm working on. Is there anyway to directly talk to you or email you? Let me know, thanks.
wlrfixinit@gmail.com
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 thanks just dropped you an email!
Has Blake begun his retirement?
Where is Blake
Tell more stories lol
yep is he still alive
Oh yeah
it always amazes me what engineer can shove into the smallest area, if they had to actually work on it they might do it differently, NOT
You should become an engineer and show everyone the correct way to do things...
Wiggle'n something heavy into its hole is never fun and always a pain the #####!
bankrupting another farm my guess
