Watch Wes Work - I have all Three models of the original Super Scraper but in truthfulness I probably use the SS2 (2 inch wide) and the SS5 (5/8 of an inch wide the most) I think purchased my first one in 1999 or 2000 and over the years have acquired each new model as they came out because well it was a new model and had to be better right. The thing I like about the Super Scraper besides how good they work is the free resharpening service whenever they need it which for me is every couple years unless some rat happens to decide they like one of them more than I do which since I no longer work at dealership is a whole lot less of a problem. Now a days I am more likely to drop it on the ground and break the blade than have one walk off. PS the ending segment had me in tears especially your comments about the CZcams SS (Safety Sallies and Sam's)
Wes- fairly new to your channel. I have to say it's impressive and refreshing to see someone that actually follows industry best practices, knows how to set up rigging, and is a family man. Your dry humor cracks me up. And thank your wife for me, teachers are building blocks for our country. Glad to see the union t shirt in this video. Stay safe and keep up the good work!
Wes, that glove over the radiator cap header is one of best diagnostic tricks I've seen for years, blew my mind, even after 20 years as a forklift tech, never would have thought of it. Beats one of those finicky co2 colour change liquid test kits. Everydays a school day. The simplist ideas are always the best. Thanks man.
Thank you, Wes. Good, old fashioned fault diagnosis with no electronics to break. Also pleased to see the appearances by your Workshop Elf, and the Glamorous Assistant again!
THAT is a cool t-shooting method! Your little helper is learning the trade from the bottom up. That's great. I spent time at my dad's side as he fixed TVs in the 50s and 60s, learned a lot.
I know very little about this... I'll probably never get close to one of them machines, let alone own one or work on it but I just love to watch people who know what they do, do what they do!... And I love your dry wit!... Thanks for sharing your professionalism with us!...
Thank you for the video Wes! Those disks do a nice job if you clean all the old gasket material off like you did. I have used an old plugged flap wheel and then hit it with brake clean to remove oil burnish.
Great video, your kids great, I can see him learning so much as he grows up, the way you involve him in so much, that's the way I learnt so much and loved every minute.
I enjoyed the vedio, primarily because of the history of the tractor and the explanation of the problem; but it was truly nice to see the family and all of your interaction. "Thanks" for sharing both your knowledge and your nice family.
Wes, youve taught me alot man. You have no idea the influece youve been in my life. That CNC Lathe alignment video, its like you made it just for me at the exact time i needed it. Glad to see you living the lifestyle i always wanted, but could never seem to find. Enjoy your family, you deserve it.
Good compromise- I like the yellow finger discs for cast, white for aluminum and for the scotch pads rolocs, blue for both- finish with a stone or a known true flat sander and a good grit. I've used that method for 1.5L I-4's through 58L V-12's. Works well.
I use those 3M bristle discs as well. They work awesome. I will also be getting one of those scraper's, because that looks like it works amazing. Thanks for sharing the links Wes, and of course for the video and comedic commentary!
Putting pushrods, etc back exactly where they came from cannot be a bad idea. Just plain good practice. Oh yeah, 100% agree with your head prep procedure.
Love my carbide scrapers, have a few of them, make short work of cleaning corrosion off aluminum rims where they mount up, lot less dust then a wire wheel. Another good video , thanks
your interaction with your kid/wife feels very genuine. there are some other folks i watch on CZcams whom have their kids/wife on sometimes, and it feels forced and weird, honestly uncomfortable to watch. dont like to tell folks how to raise their kids, but i know coming from a place of kindness and softness goes a long way. hes gona grow up to have a lot of good memories of his dad
Wes you. have a beautiful family, my husband is an automotive engineer and we restore classic cars (MOPARS mainly) and we really enjoy your videos. God bless you guys and we wish you the best!!❤
the german deeres are notorios for having a wild mix of fasteners. we had a 6310 with a ZF front axle. All oil plugs on the tractor were 1/2" sqare drive, the ones in the axle were 14 mm and completely stripped, because someone always used the 1/2" head of a ratchet. Great fun.
I agree with many others, good practice is to wash down any machine before working on it, it has too many benefits to list, even if it does get dirty again in the process. Enjoy the vids. Greetings from AUS
somebody who actually puts push rods back where they came from..fantastic..love that adjustable pry bar. here's your saws-all lady! people give me grief for addressing my wife as "hey lady"....we dont see anything wrong with it.
Putting pushrods and rocker arms back in order doesn’t matter until you get a ticking sound that won’t go away. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for all your efforts.
Thank you for sharing, I like your work, I bet if it was you have a very good little helper you could not get the job done, LoL. I need to change my oil cooler in my 2004 Excursion but I don't have a place to work and the weather is not helping, well will see if it get better. If I was closer I'll would bring it to you to do the job. Have a good day be safe and give your helper a race.
Please keep the JD 2940 videos coming! I have one and I never see videos on them so this is great. Thanks for taking the time to film all the steps and making videos on it.
@@TXTRUSTUD i recently bought a 2850 with fourth gear in Bad shape. But they have an Outstanding hidraulic pump.maybe they are good tractors to keep the running
Ok. So your channel rocks! Love the info. Love the tips. The projects are cool. Your family is adorable. And keep the robin nest updates coming. Great stuff!!!
To do all that work and not have the head redone and that’s just my opinion is crazy it’s a lot of work to tear that all apart. Great video keep it up. Good looking German short hair dog
As someone who spent many a (happy?) hour lapping heads and blocks, we always used the premium rectangular chisel sharpening stones, the green side 400 grit and grey side 800.

"I guess we should have one of those things . . . What's it called . . . A plan?"
You crack me up.😂
I try.
ha ha we all try to stik to a plan right
@@billcanell9058 And it is so great when things go "according to plan".
You had me at, "Lock Out, Tag Out on the bush" lmao
Oh how I miss going to work and lockout tag out
That one cracked me up too!
Yeah you never know when someone might turn the bush on and you get sucked in.
Indeed
Yup, that was a good one!
"So, how's the engine?"
"Well, the Magic Money Glove says you're gonna owe me about a grand."
Pretty much!
T-shirt idea - picture of the Mannheim radiator with the inflated glove on it. Caption - "There's your problem Lady".
There you go!
Simple, easy, only we get it. :D
I'm a little disappointed that three of the fingers weren't taped down...
Sums up Wes's highly professional operation quite nicely. lol
Not sure you should waste a glove like that, you could donated it to a hospital to save a person's hand. Just kidding. Love it.
"you need to lock out/tag out on the bush..." man, these videos never fail to make me laugh! great video as always, Wes!
Glad you like them!
Happy child, amused wife, curious dog, and a shop full of tractors. Livin' the dream!
It’s great that your son is able to come and see you when you work
My fondest memories are working on things with my father even if I was in the way
For me too! Luckily I still get to work with my dad pretty often.
That kid needs an agent
Hi, Buddy! Good job helping your Dad! Wes, give the little man all the time he needs. We are nothing, he is your everything!
You got that right!
After life’s hardest days, it’s nice to sit down and watch you fix everything. You’re inspiring and entertaining.
Really like the family moments, too. I look forward to them, including your dog. Made my Saturday morning. Thanks!
So glad!

Thanks man.
Well this gasket was really blown, so the glove is more of a visual aid. You can hear the coolant bubble at idle.
Thank you, Wes. Good, old fashioned fault diagnosis with no electronics to break. Also pleased to see the appearances by your Workshop Elf, and the Glamorous Assistant again!
"What could possibly go wrong?" As little man charges the bush! Great video, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy watching your videos - always interesting and entertaining with just the right amount of commentary. Keep ‘em coming!
First thing I thought of when the glove inflated...."Hi there", the glove was waving at us. Excellent video, can't wait for Part 2.
Nice tear down. Now looking forward to the assembly!
Great video Wes. The rubber glove check I had never heard of.
Thanks for taking is along Wes. Loved the rubber treatment !
Thank you again Wess and family. Always good. Have a wonderful day.

always learning with you Wes thanks you have a good sense of humor always make me laugh
It's nice seeing the kiddo working with dad I love it when my boys come to work with me
When you make these video's,,,, it really takes a lot of uncertainty out of tackling jobs like these, Thank you very much .
Thank you for the video Wes! Those disks do a nice job if you clean all the old gasket material off like you did. I have used an old plugged flap wheel and then hit it with brake clean to remove oil burnish.
So fun watching a bad ass mechanic. Thanks.
Always enjoy your video's Wes. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like them!
Really enjoying when you include the family and the vids.
Glad you like them!
Anyone have to pee yet? LOL! You are the best!
Thats a mustie1 line..pretty sure 👍
Budding mechanic there. Awesome kid! Awesome Dad!
as soon as i saw the thumbnail i knew i missed one hell of a trick, wish i thought of that idea with the glove, genius!
Glad to see little man out helping dad 👍
Wes and family thanks for sharing and all stay safe and well 😊
Enjoy your videos. Keep making them. Thank you.
You are one blessed man Wes for having such a cool family.
Yes I am!
Another great video Wes!!! Keep them coming. I really enjoy them!
Great video, your kids great, I can see him learning so much as he grows up, the way you involve him in so much, that's the way I learnt so much and loved every minute.
Well with the complete shutdown of child care we have no choice but to include him.
I was super excited to see a new WWW video in my notifications. Thanks Wes! Great stuff man.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the vedio, primarily because of the history of the tractor and the explanation of the problem; but it was truly nice to see the family and all of your interaction. "Thanks" for sharing both your knowledge and your nice family.
I love all the work you put in to all the videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Wes, kids are great aren't they gotta love them. Catch you on the next one.👍💪
You got that right!

Well that's great. But you can have any lifestyle you want. I'm not doing anything special, I promise!
Great to visit with you, and, the family not to mention some instructional work during these trying times,,,thanks !!
Our pleasure!
I’ve watched this old house since I was real young! Love that show
you're doing a great job with your videos. love that you throw your family into it too. its real and you guys make us laugh. keep it up
Thank you so much! I'm trying to make them more "fun". Maybe that's not the right word. But interesting beyond just nuts and bolts.
Great Craftmanship👍👍

Good compromise- I like the yellow finger discs for cast, white for aluminum and for the scotch pads rolocs, blue for both- finish with a stone or a known true flat sander and a good grit.
I've used that method for 1.5L I-4's through 58L V-12's. Works well.
another awesome video.....watching you work on a project is like a Zen.
Thanks 👍
Great video Wes! Nice to include your apprentice, he will be turning wrenches soon! Take care you and your wonderful family.
Thanks 👍

Awesome!
I use those 3M bristle discs as well. They work awesome. I will also be getting one of those scraper's, because that looks like it works amazing. Thanks for sharing the links Wes, and of course for the video and comedic commentary!
They are great tools!
Great video Wes, nice detail with the head and block inspection. It's almost like you had a plan.
Almost!
I had a giggle, she’s a keeper that wife of yours. Cheers from downunder.
Liked the family bit at the end!
I enjoy watching you do your thing.
Glad you enjoy it!
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!

They are great. I used to make my own, but it's so convenient to buy them.
That's a cool low tech way to check for a head gasket!
HAHA - The ol' glove trick - Love it!
And to think I bought a combustion 'sniffer' from snap-on to detect leakage into the radiator. Lol. A glove would have been a lot cheaper, lol..
great video lije allways. you are realy knowing what you doing. that glove trick its very good.
Thanks 👍
That kid will make a great C# programmer.

Great intro Wes! Your'e firguring this CZcams thing out!
Can't wait for part duex
Well I guess it's about time!
Dang good looking family you have there!

I loved growing up watching this old house. I've also taught my wife how to change light switches and outlets. I feel your pain. lol
I used to watch it on Saturday afternoon with my grandpa. It's one of my favorite shows.
I like how you babied the fuel line to get it loose and didn’t just try to muscle it off right away
I sure look forward to seeing your videos thanks great work
Thanks 👍
