Thats the dumbest steering wheel ive ever seen on a four wheeler
Honestly how long you been waiting for that movie quality hard hat shot
Training and practice truly helps in any task. Have her tow you around the yard on the four wheelers in fun and practice
Tow rope tape should be Hockey Stick Tape.
Let me guess - she wanted to eat the pizza while it was still hot?
Holy crap that story about your wife towing you home had me literally laughing out loud
I've been there a few times before. My uncle towed me home a few times. He had a bit of a thing for diving through small gaps at full speed and generally forgot that I was wider than him. Usually he was driving a smaller car than me which made the ride pretty exciting.
We don't have your nice wide open roads here in the uk.
Broke the same type of 'cheap' tow rope years ago first time I used it, went in exactly the same failure mode...didn't bother fixing it back the way it was, just double knotted the hook back on, and off we went again..think I've only used it once since in over 20 years, but never let me down after that, better than nothing I guess👍🤣🇦🇺
I am guilty of “over” towing my friend, him in a land rover that needed a bump start me in a 10 ton tipper truck.
I think I misinterpreted his bared teeth and frantic hand gestures as go faster.
I finally stopped when I was only towing his bumper along the ground.
He had words with me.
Reminds me about a friend who once towed me on my snowmobile facing backwards, with a car for about 1km, in very task inappropriate speeds. Reason for tow? he first decided it would be a great feat of strength to snap the magnapull cord.
Yep..That’s exactly what my old lady would do.
This intro had me genuinely giggling. Props for being good humored about how often you mentioned loctite 515.
It's excellent stuff for just about everything...Once you discover 515, there are very few occassions to ever consider using RTV or Silicone again.
When is a filter not a filter, when it’s in Wesie’s rust bucket!
Wes needs a loctite 515 t shirt!
@@brianessex6666 Heard someone say once 'A dirty filter is an efficient filter'...made me laugh...yeh good in theory...until it collapses letting in all the crud through, or starves something important of it's vital fluid🤣👍🇦🇺
Fire and whacking... best on utube
I think what you may not have realized is that by wearing your seatbelt, you are stopping the rocker panel from hitting the road and creating a hazard for the cars behind you, seat belts save lives, in your case, other peoples lives...
It would be quite a suprise when his rocker falls off and gets run it over with the rear tire and yank the seat belt out of the truck
I came for the Crawler but found your commentary on the Ford hilarious!
It definitely belongs "in the pile"!
@@WatchWesWork man it's an obs ford u got at least bare minimum 15 years left with that ole girl
@@gregtotten2617 definitely. I plan of letting my grandchildren ride in mine.
When I was an apprentice back in the 1970's it was drummed into us when we were panicking at the start of a job ; 'man made it, man broke it and man can fix it' it's something that has stayed with me throughout my working life. It's so interesting to hear such a similar saying almost fifty years later from all the way across the pond, just proves workshop lore is the same wherever you are.
Yes. It's a universal truth.
Absolutely. And the corollary to that is: "never let a minor problem turn into a major overhaul".
Exactly right, ill add to that what i was told by the guy who took me through my apprentiship in the late 70s.."It dosnt matter how complicated it it, Its only a series of operations. Break it down and take it step at a time"
My version is that a guy in jeans built it, and a guy in jeans can fix it.
A mechanic I know always says it's just nuts and bolts. It's meant to come apart and go back together.
I've called them "cotter" pins for fifty years. Call them what you want. You rock Wes! Thanks for the vids.
Don't try to buy split pins in the US. However any auto parts store can sell you truckloads of cotter pins. That's what the boxes are labeled, and that's what I've called them for 50 years also. However, I have several assortments, and I never have the right size. 😕
Mr. Cotter would take offense at his pins being called "Split".
Each time you see some you tell them "Welcome back Cotter" ?
I thought only the Brits called them "split pins"?
@@Sniper60 we call them split pins in Australia too
Wow, Takes me back 13 years when I did mine. I can see you are having just as much fun as I did. Love it!
The best tool used on this extensive repair was a sense of humor.
Nicely done.
Thanks 👍
Wes!
We need to raise the Titanic!
I'll need a service manual, loctite 515, and an acetylene torch. Oh and keep the grease gun away from me....
The acetylene torch will work well under water.
Nothing pays dividends like pre-tow communication.
Have you heard his wife she has built her life around a fantasy story
Touché
When I had a vehicle with a UHF radio and a tow bar, if someone needed me to tow them I'd lend them my spare hand-held radio before we got underway..and especially the inexperienced...makes all the difference🤣👍🇦🇺

Wes, I loved the video. The intro was spectacular. I loved the Oliver ice escapades dance. Now I know where crop circles come from. Thanks for sharing.
Just binge watched the entire Oliver series. I will probably never own one and for sure will never try and work on one. I just enjoy watching a fellow hard working American earn an honest living and I always learn something from your vids.. You rock Wes
Well Wes,
I can't believe you missed point number 5, that is having a "lovely assistant", hold a part, push a brake pedal, parts runner etc., oh yes, and maybe sit nearby your work station sipping on a cool bottle of beer. It don't get much better than that...
Love this video series, and kinda hate to see it go. Look forward to the next project.
Thank you sir.
Yes i agree. Much better than watching Wes fix rusty breaks.
I laughed out loud during the test drive...excellent Bob the Builder impersonation and 2X6 seat. Awesome video and wrap up.
Great flaming hammer introduction, one of your best videos to date! So nice to see someone who works for all needs within the area from cars to trucks to crawlers to driving truckloads of grain to elevators. Keep up the good work Wes.
Thank you very much!
I found myself smiling when you were zipping around the yard on the fixed crawler. Great work.
The beginning edits were hilarious. You’re always a riot, keep it coming. Thanks for the great content Wes.
Glad you like them!
Click 'like' 515 times.
Your tale of your white knuckle tow home had me in stitches! Funniest clip this year! A howling Rav 4 with you hanging on for dear life behind! 🤭😃🤭😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good advise on the repair methodology. My youngest brother was gifted a Ford 1720 tractor with a locked up engine by our neighbor. I rode it home as we pulled it with his truck through the back pasture. He found the service manuals and bought them. And started taking it apart. Turns out it had a piston rod cap come off. He ordered a new crank (was cheaper than having this one machined because it was pretty mangled on that one journal) new rod and piston assembly, and rebuilt that little 2 cylinder japanese diesel himself. He had previously NEVER been inside an engine of any kind or even had a valve cover off of one. Nor had he ever done any real mechanical work. He watched some procedural videos on youtube about clearances, etc. He used Plasti-gauge because he couldn't afford a fancy set of bore gauges and calipers, etc. And that tractor has ran strong for almost 3 years now. We don't do a ton with it but when we use it we really put it to work. So if he can do it, with zero prior experience, so can most of us. Just need the proper reference material, some patience, and a lack of being burdened by the pre-conception that you can't do it.
This has been a great series, Wes. Can't wait to see the build/refresh on that loader.
I'm kinda jaded after watching a ton of equipment rebuilders that really shouldn't, but I gotta say, YOU ARE THE MAN!
The little montage of you driving around the yard to the music had me dying laughing I guarantee at that moment you were the happiest man in Illinois.
Fast and furious: Slo-mo edition!
Hey Wes, instead of sending the truck (your truck) to the crusher, just buy a new cab, throw a flat bed on back. Good frame and motor, mechanically sound other than the rusty body. New cab, flatbed back, new work truck for half the money.
At least that's what I would consider but again, I don't know your exact situation so it's just my opinion.
I'll be sad to see it go. I prefer old refurbished instead of new junk. LOL
Yes, everything can be fixed.
Question is, should it be?
Do you live in a area that has rust free vehicles?
I live in NM a friend of mine has been looking for the cab off a 99 - 16 Ford to replace the rusted out one he bought in NY state and brought back for about 6 month
@@dans_Learning_Curve
Rust free standard cabs are pretty easy to get. Even here in the land of rust and snow.
Finding a rust free obs crew cab is another beast.
If I read the odometer right only 160K miles? That 7.3 CAN be a million mile engine. Unless rust has hurt it be a crying shame to waste it. My 97 F250 has over 300K miles and I’d take it on a cross country trip without hesitation. I agree with angry C...fix it!
@@hgj2019 Do you have a spare he could have for parts?
"It's not the end of the world ..." A person I know says that, but finishes it by saying "... but you can see it from here." Awesome skill level - very inspiring. Thank you.
The entire videos are great.
Confidence in yourself is a must. Cause if you don’t have confidence in yourself how can anyone else have confidence in you

Wes, I grew up in the Menard county area of Illinois. On the farms I grew up around, and farmers I grew up working for, we spent the long cold winters in the shop either rebuilding equipment or engines, or more permanently fixing dodgy temporary repairs made in the field during the season. The weather and seasons don't wait for the countries farmers, they depend on their equipment for their livelihood, and have to become masters of maintaining and repairing that equipment even out in a field under lights at 2:00am. Your explanation of the circumstances of this particular customer project at the end of the video was excellent. Keep the great content coming, with great respect... Joe
As with restoring anything, your investment(time & money)will always exceed the value of what your restoring. It is done for love and the enjoyment that you get out of driving or operating what you’ve resorted. Awesome video, can’t wait to see the loader install.
yes, VERY few people are gonna have such a cute little tracked loader.
It was worth getting going again. Not many of the crawlers around anymore. Most have been worked hard and scraped. Parts at the dealership would depend on the parts guys at the dealership with old time and experienced parts guys like our local dealer has.
Wes, your end statement about believe in yourself was spot on. I taught young men and women for 37 years how to work and fix auto and diesels. My wife would always ask me, "what are you going to do with all those car parts you keep stashing all over?" I would always tell her "I will build a car some day." After retiring in 2013, I built a car from the Frame up. Folks ask how do you even start? How do you know how everything works? Knowledge and confidence, will take you anywhere. Great job on the tractor.
I’ve named this Oliver ‘Twist’..... it always wants more! Work that is. This channel really ought to be renamed ‘Watch Wes Wrestle. That really has been a right scrap.
I enjoyed watching the 1960 Oliver OC-46 being repaired. I hope you do more on this type of repair. It would have looked great repainted, but at least she runs and turns now.
Between you, Vehcor and South Main Auto I spend a lot of time laughing and feeling better about my own adventures with mechanical repairs. Thanks again Wes!
Love your sense of humor. Don't change a thing and keep filming. Thank you
Thank you! Will do!
I love how you fix old equipment....your awesome I’m addicted to your videos now.....
I'm gonna miss this series, it was thrilling to see a pro do it, and i learnt a few new tricks. The summary at the end was 100% on point. Couldn't agree more and i must commend your work ethic and skills.
One of favorite videos you've made. I love a good story about expecting your wife to know how to do something she has never done before. I've been there a few times myself.
We had tiled our very large kitchen floor and it was taking me too long to get it grouted. My wife mixed the grout and grouted the whole thing, all at once, and didn't realize that you had to wash it off as you go. That was 20 years ago and there is still grout permanently stuck on those tiles. Fortunately you can't see it--grey grout on blue-ish tile. Not sure my heart could take that kind of surprise these days.
Watch him "teaching" me to drive the tractor and you will understand how much instruction I get!! ruclips.net/video/dDulf7TvIVI/видео.html
How in the world could so many fools give this video a thumbs down? I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and the others in this series. If I could give 100 thumbs up I would.
Thank you for taking the time to make them Wes.
One of my best friends is a Marine Medic who was stationed in Germany and was with an armored division. I bring this up because as you work on this machine and I heat and see pieces snapping/breaking free I am reminded of a story Harold told us back in the 90's. A half track crew were assisting a tank crew trying to change a track on the tank something they had done hundreds of times only this time both safety chains broke and the guy at the rear of the tank was killed almost instantly. I say this only to hope you are as careful as you can be because what are the odds both safety chains will fail? I love your videos and want to see many more. Stay safe and have a great day.
The tow home had me laughing so hard. The reason I watch you is because of the story not the back to new restorations.
You did an amazing job wish there were more of these crawlers sitting around
There's plenty of crusty crawlers sitting around in this area...
I truly enjoyed watching this series on the crawler.
As a retired aircraft fitter I had the same work ethos as you - “ if it won’t go, don’t force it - hit it with a bigger hammer” - “if all else fails read the instructions” , tolerances?? Point 0001 of a thousand ( give or take 1/2 an inch) and torque settings??? “one grunt short of a hernia “. You obviously enjoy your work so don’t let any couch mechanics discourage you - you bring history back to life - looking forward to the next episode. Stay safe - your no.1 fan in the U.K.
Man's gotta know his limitations.... great job. Fun project. PS you wife is GOLDEN!! LOL
Famous last words “It’s only temporary if it doesn’t work “ I use that saying as much as possible.
I really hope you don’t grow tired of making videos you are so good at it and thank you.
Ahh yes, I use Wes' saying as often as possible too...I remember it as 'It's only temporary unless it works' but hey, same same, but same🤣👍🇦🇺
That tractor is older but it got some great history behind it. The tractor bring back some memories for the owner with your help it gonna bring back more memories now
Nice job getting it working again. Old machinery like this is worth saving.
As someone who volunteers at a museum to restore and repair military vehicles, I totally agree with the points you make at the end. Also I think if you have a buddy who works on the project as well, or just someone who has mechanical nouse, that you can discuss difficult issues with, that is a great help.
On another topic, grease guns, I have found a battery operated one very useful. 😀🇬🇧
It's so satisfying seeing the crawler running and steering correctly after watching all of the videos for it from the start. Also very commendable to take the time to give your thought process and steps used to undertake such a large project. Very informative and much appreciated.
Thanks 👍
Nice to hear someone that knows the difference between a cotter pin and a split pin good on you Wes
About 50 years ago there was an Oliver crawler sitting outside a barn about 1 mile from where I lived. I thought for a long time that it would be fun to buy it and make it usable again. For any number of reasons that never happened. After watching your adventures on a similar machine along with other crawler undercarriage videos I am extremely glad that it didn't.
Towed an uncle one time. I went through intersection....light changed and he hit the brakes....drug him right through.
Nice job on Oliver.
Looking forward to loader....whole time I was thinking there had to be an attachment.
this thing is so funny to see driving around. where i live i have never seen anything like it! its so oddly cute looking
also, keeping history alive is always good even if its new today its old in 40 years and antique in 100 so keeping some running for the future to see is always a good thing
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It's a joy to watch you work. I look forward to the loader installation.😊
Wes you amaze me and inspire me more and more every video you post, how down to earth you are and genuine!! Your just a good olde country boy at heart!!! Love from little olde green Ireland. P. S. Keep them coming🇮🇪👍😁
Thanks so much 😊
Towing is an art Wes', I always got the job of towee, when I was an apprentice. I had some people who towed me like your wife towed you. Your story brought it back. My only thought was to not run into them or break the rope. Thanks for the laugh.
Learned by being the towee as soon as I could reach the pedals and see over the dash at the same time behind my dad I'll almost guarantee Wes didn't say the things my dad did if I screwed up. Before he died I asked him why we never bought a trailer, he said "Why I had you or your brother to ride in the back, and after you boys left I didn't have to tow anything!"
I’m sure he’s glad she floored it and didn’t slam on the brakes. That Toyota getting rear ended by a f250 wouldn’t be pretty. Although she did say she wanted a new car.
I was a towee on a snowmobile once..the guy towing me took off so fast i wasnt holding on yet and i rolled off the back..he did eventually stop because the sled wasnt steering itself...lol
I've absolutely loved this video series on the old Oliver and if you want to keep these lovely old pieces,of equipment you sometime have to either know how to do the work yourself or pay someone that does. The customer is a fantastic person for saving this machine.
I second that great job on the intro that was awesome awesome job on the tractor my friend glad to see you and the family stay in safe have a great day👍🏻
Thanks 👍
I enjoyed every vid on the OC-46. I learned a lot. Keep the vids coming.
My mindset on something I've never worked on before is not to be afraid to get a running start and dive into it. Without that mindset I'll never learn nothing new.
Donuts on the crawler! Wooo hooo! Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up! There’s you’re dinner!
It's great to see you completed this awesome project and got the Oliver back in operational order; but, more important (in my opinion) is your very smart, mature, and sensible narrative at the end where you carefully and thoughtfully examine and explain the responsibilities attached to such a project. You not only show a lot of wisdom and maturity but especially a great deal of personal integrity....something money cannot buy. Best wishes, be well, and give the pup a hug for me.
Definitely some good words of advice at the end, Wes. Confidence definitely is key. Even though I've got a service manual for my car and worked on more complicated equipment, my perfectionist side will quickly take over and I'll start to doubt myself so much. Once that doubt kicks, it's almost crippling. But when I'm feeling good, I can push through failures and keep going.
Yeah. You just have to remember that was never perfect, even when it was new.
First the towing story, reminds me of my wife....priceless. Second the hard hat and glasses on the test drive I found pretty funny too. One of your funnier videos. 👍👏
I can relate to getting overwhelmed by projects like this one. Earlier this year, I finally put my 1960 Clark Michigan loader back in service after it sat disassembled for nearly five years. Replaced a broken axle and pretty much rebuilt the entire air over hydraulic brake system. I told my gf that it was time to do it and she understood. Six weeks later I hauled it back to the sawmill and it’s there helping me make some money.
And YES on the manuals! If you can get a parts book with exploded views you can discover all the parts that previous “Mechanics” forgot to install - especially on 60 year old machines.
Great project Wes! Thanks for the "sit down" at the end of this video, in fact thanks several times over. Your 4 points were dead on and should be nailed to every shop and hobbyist ' s bench.... be realistic. I think your reference to Squatch 253 and his self-admitted eye twitch when every nut and bolt needs to gleam and be factory correct is dead-on. The current Rat Rod craze should have made that abundantly clear already but folks need to understand and accept the difference between good enough and restored to masterpiece quality.
Keep up the great work Wes. I hope your couch is comfy as I believe Max will be occupying your half of the matrimonial bed til at least Thanksgiving now that you made your wife's towing abilities a new standard for stand up comedy.
Heh. She'll get a laugh from it!
Didn't have a doubt it would turn & run faultlessly u are a pro well done beautiful pc of old iron running yet again nice job
watching u repair machinery is fun to watch & I really enjoy watching u, Please keep the videos coming
I was told a long time ago "don't be afraid to take anything apart. Just make sure you can replace it"
Great to see the old crawler come back to life. In a throwaway world its good to see machines go on doing what they were designed to do. I think its possible to have affection for machines that far outweighs their value. As a classic car owner ,people who owned them previously looked after them when most people just gave up and junked them! Guess that goes for industrial machinery as well. Thanks for your content which is both humorous and instructional. Oh and all the good advice re the courage to bite the bullet and start a project! Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
One thing I would add to your great "You can do it" speech: If you look closely, the massive project you just completed was really just a series of small projects. Can you rebuild a multi-disc clutch? Can you replace bearings and seals? Set clearances and preloads? Focus on the individual steps and you won't get overwhelmed. Well done. I really enjoyed the series.
I work for my uncle who owns 5 dump trucks, an eighteen wheeler, 4 running tractors and a bulldozer. Me not going to school for heavy equipment. I use alot of his knowledge and whatever I can find on Google, or from channels like yours. I'm am grateful for him letting me learn with his equipment. Have I made mistakes? Well yeah I'm human! Roll with the punches and keep going, thats how you learn. Currently in the middle of changing a water pump and oil cooler on a C13 Acert with twin turbos never a dull moment. Thanks for the information you include in your videos WES!
The drum solo at the beginning had me laughing. I had dreams about 515 Loctite after watching the last video.
This is my favorite video series of yours! I want to see every bit of work you do on this! Any video of an Oliver is a guaranteed watch from me!
Loved the initial torch, banging and loctited 515 compilation 😆, resumed everything you did to that machine in just a few seconds worth of videos hahaha.
Howdy, Got a couple things here. As a retired Steam and Diesel Locomotive mechanic I fully support your attitude concerning "Big Projects". We all seem to overthink things when looking at the whole project. As for the economy of repairing certain things. The knowledge gained often outweighs the "Throw Away" aspect. I've spent 50+ years repairing and restoring economic lost causes. Turning a wrench at some dealership provides more dollars and fewer smiles. Now for the important part... grease guns! Somebody got off with my '30's-'50's Alemite grease guns and I haven't found a decent one since. Cletrac/Oliver made some dandy machines and I'm happy to see this one back in action.
Watching you work is a whole learning experience and the humour that goes with it? Sublime. Thank you Wes.
Awesome I literally just finished watching the last part and this popped up 😊 , great Sunday afternoon of viewing.🏴
I like your no bullshit, realistic style, Wes. Anyone willing to learn could take in much from your gentle yet informative commentary. How true; on-line machinery for sale ads are bursting with 'unfinished project' bleats, for which the best advice is, don't touch with a barge-pole!
You kept a box of grease and old rags, heh heh, you are becoming a collector!

Great series, fun project well done. Five stars for this episode’s intro and epilogue.
Thanks for taking us along.

@@WatchWesWork No good sane person want's the job. You don't want the job, (I damn sure don't, U.S. Army retired, I gave already) but when given a pile of shit you tear through and get it done. It isn't pretty and it isn't easy but you do it, that's why you would be perfect for it.
My dad was a diesel mechanic for 40 years. He would have enjoyed this excellent video. Like him, you not only have the aptitude, you have the attitude.
Dude. You are talking my language. I just wish more people would be like you in how you think.
Love your channel keeping us sane in lockdown all the way from England
Maybe I can fix this grease gun . . . fling . . . clank! You captured the essence of many a greaser! LMAO 👍👍
Hi Was, what a terrific series on restoring the Oliver!! You put in a lot of time & sweat, and it paid off! Nicely done sir! The tow story with the wife, busted me up! She's a keeper, although she needs a spot of grease on the tip of the nose!
I'll let you suggest that...
These projects are the same as Question: "How do you eat an elephant"? Answer: "One bite at a time". same principle as this project. Great Job and great breaking it down into the multiple videos. Thanks Wes
thank you for your truthful insight ! works wonders when interests out do money and time.... keep up the great projects!
This was a great series to watch Wes! Love these long builds! Keep up the awesome work 👍
That was an excellent TED talk son!!! I'm gonna go out and jump start my 94 Toyota "Thunder Pig" first thing tomorrow morning!!! You inspired me once again.
Heh. There you go.
I know this is an old video, but the story about being towed had me in tears. Nothing makes you feel alive, like drafting behind someone towing you that has no idea what they are doing. 60 MPH down an old gravel road etc. 10 ft off their bumper. If you have never done that, give it a shot. There is no ride at any amusement park that will give you anywhere near the relief of it being over than that tow.
Whew, that was a lot of work! I'm still scrubbing the grease off and putting on band aids, and I only watched!
Number 1 reason for RTV leaks/failure is because people use a gasket with them. Every RTV manufacturer has multiple warnings to never use a gasket with RTV but people always think they know better.
Not really, it's the wait time. Most people assemble then put int service right away. I always use both ( gasket and rtv ) and never have leaks! GM cars leak with just gaskets!
@@Bumblebee4788 What's the point of using a gasket if you are adding more gasket material(rtv)? You are just adding expense and more points of failure. The new types of gasket rtv are in many cases better than pre made gaskets as they fill the dings/pits/scratches etc far better, only times I'd say premade gaskets are better is when you are working on the engine where there is very high pressures this is when you use steel gaskets.
@@kazykamakaze131 gasket shellac, yellow snot...etc was always used with gaskets in the old days, rtv is just better than those.
@@Bumblebee4788 I'm not disputing what was or was not used in a time I wasn't around. Only thing I can do today is do a comparison on what is available on the market and see which is better for the required application and I found more times than not that RTV especially the high quality ones just work better than premade gaskets and don't forget you don't have to wait a week or 2 for the pre made gasket to arrive, it's just squirt and assemble.

The tow story had me grinning ear to ear
I’ve only recently found your channel. So I’m months behind you and everyone else. What I’ve watched so far I have enjoyed, I like your style. Haven’t watched the video of you being towed by your better half, the thought has me in fits of laughter. I’ve been there, I was towed by a Landrover at 60 mph on a short chain. All I could see was the back of the Landrover. No idea how the Suzuki SJ 413 and I survived. Great memory though😃😃
Good series, can’t wait to see the loader set up
The intro alone had me tired and my right shoulder sore from swinging a hammer.
What a great project. Patience, persistence, success. Had fun watching
Hi Wes, I liked your addition at the end. Describing your best way forwards, you have 3 good tools to work with, you have 2 hands at the end of your arms, and a brain on your shoulders. Experience comes with work, sometimes it goes wrong, but step back, re think, get the job done but learn from your mistakes for the next similar job.. I`m 72, but still learning stuff i dont know - yet, but I have learned stuff by watching you work, but i`ll never work on a crawler In the rest of my life, but have learned some of its intricacies.. Thanks for the video Wes... Ian -- UK.
Shit this episode was pretty funny Wes! Had me in fits of laughter with the mrs Wes towing experience 😂
Hilarious montage at the start 🤣
I normally do not comment, but, Wes, your opinion piece at the end on the scope of work and how much to realistically fix, repair and replace was very well done. Well said, sir!
