Thanks for sharing bud ! It’s probably been over 30 years since I’ve messed with rebuilding those brake cylinders, but I remember FWD and I think the old IH Loadstars used a return spring like that ! Happy New Years bud ! You take care now ! You can call me anytime, I won’t answer but you can call me ! Lol! Take care !👍
Thank you for the entertainment you got a lot of irons in the fire , I really know what you're against amazes me the way you keep going I've operated most of the equipment you're working on now have a good day enjoy your movies
sometimes we miss the culprit searching around the impossible...today there are a ton of crap replacement parts out there, quality control fails...most of the big manufacturers have production sent out in China...it would be interesting to investigate part numbers and production lot to see if those dampeners were same production run...
Warren , I love your videos , don't let a few (ok many !) phone in jerks get you down.Your work ethic and points of view in today's world are greatly appreciated and shared!
Thanks for bringing us along Warren. I always learn something new almost every video I watch. Your digging digging into models of tractors I’ve never seen or worked on.
Hey Warren, wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. Also wanted you to know that while I am a Democrat, a moderate one, but a Democrat never the less...I totally support your political and personal views and your right to express them. And if those views make some less likely to watch your videos..then F#$% them. Your attitudes and views are part of what makes your videos so entertaining. You are a good ole hard working self employed business man, what more could any of us out here in the weird world want. I admire your spunk dude.
Hello there Henry Wilson here. I was dry stone Waller for 30 years. I did jobs for some people and they told me what a good job I was doing. Then when I finish the job they wouldn't pay. Meny a time it would take 12 months or more to get paid and some times not at all. Im owed money from years ago and I'm retired now with ill health.
it's everything in balance actually cuz where heavy pieces of equipment are involved, big business is too... a 300k bucks big excavator doesn't work for 50 dollars/hour, a big farm has actually a couple million dollar in equipment...they don't care about a 5k bucks repair,I guess buddy
@@3dvorator I know you are correct about that, big business is big bucks. Me, I am just a regular retired guy dicking around in his yard, sort of what I call a big yard here in Montana. I have a 2010 John Deere 318D wheeled skid steer and a 1967 Ford 3000 diesel tractor that I just finished an engine rebuild on inspired by watching Warren. I saved about 5 to 6 k doing all the work myself except for the machine work and parts, when your dealing with a small three cylinder parts are not so bad. There is just something about heavy equipment that every American male can relate to since day one out playing in the dirt. I would love to have a mini excavator but I have very little to zero use for one. I imagine I could find something to use it for like digging a small pond in the south pasture but renting one makes more sense to me. I really love my skid steer and use it all the time specially for snow removal. I got it because two years ago we got a pretty good dump here and the Ford was just not cutting it, the Ford is great for brush hog and post hole digging work though. When it comes right down to it it is all about the prospective.
@@TheSagerider there are some interesting channels about farmers around here , from your Montana these guys, take a look at the Welker Farms channel, these brothers work on their own heavy stuff all diy... a big farm actually... young guy but deep focused into harvesting...cheers buddy
I had a lot of the same calls back in the day. It got to the point, like you, I could not do my job because I was helping them do theirs. I started asking for their C.C. info so I could get paid for the time lost and the calls really drifted away. All the best to you and yours for the New Year.
Happy New Year Warren. Your customer base is huge. They have got to understand you prioritize your own schedule, not them. With your constant heavy work load, it stands to reason why you can't talk with everyone. Absolutely enjoy every video you produce. Extremely informative and your knowledge is unending.!!!
One of the reasons we all enjoy watching your videos is the fact that it's obvious you like to help people, otherwise, you would not feel bad about not being able to spend all your time giving folks free advice over the phone. Unfortunately, you are absolutely right that many folks don't seem to understand that at least 80% of what you pay a good mechanic & troubleshooter for is their experience. Any goober can turn a wrench & swap parts in hopes of fixing an issue but a guy, like you, with excellent troubleshooting skills and decades of experience is worth paying more because it saves money in the long run since you can diagnose the issue very quickly & the "problem" only has to be fixed once. Everyone needs a bit of advice now & then but the folks who figure they should just be able to call you and expect that you will troubleshoot their issues over the phone for no charge know better, they are just hoping you will be easy-going enough to do 80% of their work for them because they are clueless about how to effectively troubleshoot a system. I don't think you should feel bad about ranting to us about it. It is wrong of them & you ought to just get yourself a CC app on your phone & when one of those turkeys calls, you should just tell them "No problem, my remote troubleshooting & mechanic's advice rate is $125.00/hour, with a one hour minimum charge. Give me a credit card number and we can get started.
Warren you should offer a phone consultation fee. If anyone wants your help repairing a project they should be willing to pay for your time. We did this at a Marina I worked at a time only charge. God Bless you and your family.
Your daughter is lucky to have a dad like you Warren, special request, I was watching your video titled ( Working on the 379 and story time) please tell more stories about the Comedy mechanic the one from the circus and does nascar racing with strawberry equipment in the shop. Great video as always Warren.
That or get a phone with dual sims, and have a "customer number only" that you give out to paying clients. This is why on some channels, the number on the truck gets blurred so some knucklehead doesn't see it as "I can haz free help? Derp!"
Well you have a (Texas) blue print with the right side of the truck intact, best way to see how/remember how the springs go.. Keep up the good work 🇺🇸🇺🇸 and nothing is Free
Amazed to see that old Ford truck which must have been used mostly on the farm because if it was used on road in the winter would now be a rusted out hulk parked in some forgotten lot.
HELLO WARREN, MICHAEL FROM EASTON, PA!!! LOVE YOUR VIDS, LOVE THE CAN DO CANT STOP, WON'T BE BEATEN ATTITUDE!!! IT'S N9 SURPRISE YOUR IN UNDATED WITH PHONE TRAFFIC AND EMAILS. YOUR THE MOST KNOWLEGABLE MECHANIC I EVER SAW, AND YOU DESERVE TO REAP THE BENEFITS. CHARGE FOR YOUR TIME AND ADVICE!!! YOUR A GOOD DUDE WARREN, MERRY CHRISTMAS ABD HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Start charging them people by the call! I completely understand the struggle. Plus it a whole other can of worms trying to diagnose stuff over the phone.
It's even better with phone call diagnosis when they keep ringing you up and they haven't even checked the things you told them to check the last call - can't tell you how many times I've had that.
Yessir! At one point in time I drove parts for advance auto which I didn’t mind at all, answering the phones on the other hand. Well let just say it was like playing Russian roulette. My hat is off to anyone who has any sort of customer service skills because I have close to none.
Also I think warren is handling all the calls damn well. I think people forget he’s only human, he got his own life going on. Maybe try an email instead of blowing up a fellers phone all day? Or you’re on CZcams anyways right? There’s bunches of how to’s guides and walkthroughs for just about everything. Anything I know now has come from a lot of web surfing and first hand experience (I know enough to get me in trouble half the time) eventually after obsessively searching over tsb’s, forums, write ups and tinkering I’m able to get most projects complete. It’s painful but there’s not always going to be someone to hold your hand and guide ya through it and I personally would probably be up a river without a paddle if the inter webs vanished forever. Lol
I have the same problems of being overwhelmed with the phone calls and people rolling up to the shop wanting free diagnosis and I can't get anything done! Makes me want to go back in the field and work! It would be different if they had a understanding this is how we make our money! I also use identifix. Money well spent!
Warren you should put together a appointment for service questions @ 15minute timed talk for $30. That way you would control the time when you are available to talk. With your knowledge and experience you could make a good money for your time.
Probably figured it out, but you had the spring on the shoe right when the hook that sticks out the side was through the shoe web and the coils were laying against it. In my other life I was a mechanic on old school stuff like that. Happy New Year! Rick
Happy New Year to you and your family Warren. Look forward to more videos find them really interesting and appreciate how much work goes into producing them and all your time. Your pretty amazing mate you have so many projects on the go how do you remember where you ore with each one
Happy New Year Warren from Ireland..i love your videos..worked as a service mechanic for a dealer myself years ago..went on to trucks and then went driving trucks for an easier life..stop giving free advice..people will take all they can get and forget about you..you have built up your knowledge over the years and with your experience..let them figure it out themselves..they just want an easy fix..let them bug someone else or pay you..life is too short for helping these people..
At 2:00, I totally get what you are saying, at some point I need to get away from technology(phones) and work. It's one of the aspects of our technology I don't like. Many people don't understand how complicated a technician's life is with all this new technology to repair. Most problems now with electrical problems is you spend a half hour looking at a schematic before you even touch the vehicle you are working on.
RE: cam sensor..I hate when i do that..start fixing something unrelated and losing time, when all along it was something else. Its so critical to be 100 percent focused/concentrating when troubleshooting. Good catch, you got your thinking straight before wasting your effort..your head is dependable
Just a hint from one mechanic to another. A remote starter switch is nice. But after viewing your videos I purchased a Power Probe. In a pinch you can use a Power Probe and some wire to make a remote starter switch. Thank you for another nice video.
I always just try and find whole new or re-man wheel cylinders anymore. Too big a pain to rebuild old ones and they’re sometimes pitted too. Give those old ones a hurl. You’ll feel better. But don’t get Dorman parts. Trust me on this.
Hi Warren Hope 2021 is good to you and your family. Also all your fans around the world By the way some advice When u ring your Soliceters do they give you free advice 🤨.. No you get some clerk arranging a meeting at £250 per hour Your a good bloke and have a good heart from a guy in 🇬🇧
On a truck that old not surprising the parts guy got the springs wrong. I have had that issue with an old truck from that time on a farm back in north Dakota I was working on.we never did get the brakes working right kn that truck.they would work one time you pushed the pedxle9next time it went clean to the floor and stayed there.even the IH dealer jn town could not do better.they rebuilt the entire brake system and was not better still the same. Hope you and your family have a great new year.
I had to fight those hydraulic brakes on some of the first trucks my dad ran in his trash truck fleet. Those springs do have the bent end hook thru the shoe as you showed at the end of the video. Turn the adjusters all the way back in to get the drums back on. Then you have to adjust the adjusters out until the wheel locks then back it off until you can just turn the wheel. You have to adjust them before you attempt to bleed them or they will fight you.
What I like is when you talk to them they seem to think they know more than you. I always wanted to turn the phone off so I could get something done but the shop owner didn’t like the idea.
Happy New Years. Totally understand how you feel about helping out people with mechanical problems. Enjoyed your videos from 2020. Looking forward to new ones in 2021. Stay safe. Cheers
All the best for 2021 Warren to you and your family. Keep busy and keep the videos coming thanks Warren really appreciate the work you do to bring us dam good videos 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Tom
That offset hook that pokes out to the side always goes in a hole in the shoe, like the last position you used on the first shoe. then just use the brake pliers to slip the other end of the spring over the post.
I realize you are very busy, however, please have this prescription filled: rib eyes for the family, the age appropriate beverages for them and you, if possible a salad, bread and have a blessed and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
4:27, my all-time favourite is, I’ve got a five minute job for you. That always gets me laughing. Oh yeah I was thinking about your cold starts in the morning, lotta on highway tractors seem to use those Wabasto heaters or Esper heaters, set the timer and your Service truck will be thank you for the start ups. Anyway, dirty side down.
Happy new years. I can't tell you the number of times I've used the camera on my phone in situations like this. It's also handy for the situation you need to see something but can't. Like tight places.
When I did maintenance work (small business & rental general maint.) it never failed - the phone would ring as soon as I climbed up a ladder with a barely manageable handful of tools and materials. Usually some guy named 'Bob' calling with a thick foreign accent to tell me that he can see a virus on my computer and my new car needed a warranty.
Happy New Year to you and your family. I love your videos they are instructive even if they go over my head at times. You’re a smart cookie. Best wishes for next year. Sláinte
I'm sure someone has already mentioned the loose loader subframe bolt[s]? Yep. Just checked and at four other people have, nearly 48 hours ago. Not that it matters, because the frame will need to be removed anyhow to get at the flywheel.
Best way to spend New Year's Eve - Watching Western Truck and Tractor Repair direct from Butte Valley. Happy and Healthier New Year to all the Roger's family. PS The Nashville bomber was a tech geek and may have associated AT&T with the increasingly unpopular monopolistic tech giants that rule the roost. For instance, AT&T owns CNN. He had half a conscience so warned the immediate surroundings about what was going to happen . A loner. Of course the FBI let him go right through their fingers - after his girlfriend reported his bomb making.
" There's no rest for the weary" Happy New year's to you and yours Warren keep up the excellent work and videos. I'll be interested to hear what dear says about that dampener and that motor you so interestingly diagnosed all of its problems. 👀👍
First off happy new year second it be cool if you could make a video on how you do your billing with parts and supplies and how you make your invoices thinking about starting my own side business
Warren, I like the travel mug in your truck, the "genuine" article I hope( I'm sure it is)! I looked at Salty's site disclaimer it was "These are the opinions and ramblings of a lunatic. They are for entertainment purposes only and are probably wrong. You listen at your own risk." It might be time to write your own but you could copy and paste...but add no cold callers (-: I enjoy the scenery and banter as much as the fettling so a good video for me, a Brit from NW England...cheers and a Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks again for the videos.
I hope we hear the outcome of the John deere engine.It'll be super frustrating if we dont find out the cause!!
sometimes we miss the culprit searching around the impossible...today there are a ton of crap replacement parts out there, quality control fails...most of the big manufacturers have production sent out in China...it would be interesting to investigate part numbers and production lot to see if those dampeners were same production run...

Yeah bad PR can cost JD BIG $$$ as Warren matters to the people who buy them!

Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year ! Stay Safe !!
4:27, my all-time favourite is, I’ve got a five minute job for you. That always gets me laughing. Oh yeah I was thinking about your cold starts in the morning, lotta on highway tractors seem to use those Wabasto heaters or Esper heaters, set the timer and your Service truck will be thank you for the start ups. Anyway, dirty side down.
Happy new years. I can't tell you the number of times I've used the camera on my phone in situations like this. It's also handy for the situation you need to see something but can't. Like tight places.
You make a great Social Worker Warren, Happy New Year!
Happy New year, To you & the family 👍 also Happy New year to all your followers, stay safe everyone take care 👍
You had it right when the weird end of the spring hooked thru the top hole, and hung down.
Happy new year to you and yours
When I did maintenance work (small business & rental general maint.) it never failed - the phone would ring as soon as I climbed up a ladder with a barely manageable handful of tools and materials. Usually some guy named 'Bob' calling with a thick foreign accent to tell me that he can see a virus on my computer and my new car needed a warranty.
Ha Ha ! I can never remember which way drum brake springs came out either !
And I don’t take photos because why would I need to ?
Keep it up Warren !
Happy New Year to you and your family. I love your videos they are instructive even if they go over my head at times. You’re a smart cookie. Best wishes for next year. Sláinte
Happy New Year 👍

You’ve got them too they’ve just not done something outrageous like dump a pallet of roundup in an irrigation well.

People need good mechanics like yourself.Take the calls as compliments!
I'm sure someone has already mentioned the loose loader subframe bolt[s]?
Yep. Just checked and at four other people have, nearly 48 hours ago. Not that it matters, because the frame will need to be removed anyhow to get at the flywheel.
Happy New Year! Hope you have a good 21!
Best way to spend New Year's Eve - Watching Western Truck and Tractor Repair direct from Butte Valley. Happy and Healthier New Year to all the Roger's family. PS The Nashville bomber was a tech geek and may have associated AT&T with the increasingly unpopular monopolistic tech giants that rule the roost. For instance, AT&T owns CNN. He had half a conscience so warned the immediate surroundings about what was going to happen . A loner. Of course the FBI let him go right through their fingers - after his girlfriend reported his bomb making.
Warren when you put yourself and your business on the internet. Idiots will call you like they know you.
Sounds like you and Warren are on a first name basis ? When did you call him ? lol
" There's no rest for the weary"
Happy New year's to you and yours Warren keep up the excellent work and videos.
I'll be interested to hear what dear says about that dampener and that motor you so interestingly diagnosed all of its problems. 👀👍
First off happy new year second it be cool if you could make a video on how you do your billing with parts and supplies and how you make your invoices thinking about starting my own side business
thanks for the content Warren, Happy New Year!!!!
happy new year Warren
Happy New Year
Don't see so many drum brakes on cars over here now but I've still got a draw in my tool box with a ton of old brake springs in it
Warren, I like the travel mug in your truck, the "genuine" article I hope( I'm sure it is)! I looked at Salty's site disclaimer it was "These are the opinions and ramblings of a lunatic. They are for entertainment purposes only and are probably wrong. You listen at your own risk." It might be time to write your own but you could copy and paste...but add no cold callers (-: I enjoy the scenery and banter as much as the fettling so a good video for me, a Brit from NW England...cheers and a Happy New Year
