The firing order for a six reminded me of how I learned it, probably back in the 70's. 1-5 (15), she's too young. 3-6 (36), she's too old. 2-4 (24), she's just right. Just a bit of ancient humor. Take care, Wes.
Oh, MAN, dude! That outro! The Watch Wes Work (logo) dump truck Oliver reveal! Then the icing on the cake, the “hydraulics” demonstration with laidback musical accompaniment! Can we all have a standing ovation, please? 👏👏👏. (Just when you thought Wes couldn’t get any better.)
Yes sir we have definitely come a long way as to the quality of packing shipments. As a former RPS P&D Contractor I could tell many a story about the short comings in the industry. A lot of customers we had would skimp on the packaging materials and then blame the carrier (RPS, UPS or the USPS for example) for damages when it really boiled down to insufficient packaging (of which the carriers would deny due to improper packaging). As we have progressed and shippers have learned, the art of packaging is quite the science. It can be rather aggravating to unpack stuff due to what may seem as overkill, but getting the items in without damage is the goal.
Thank you for explaining how things work as you go along. I know you have a lot of "Professional" Mechanics that watch, but remember you also have a ton more of us who are mechaniclly inclined but not pros. We enjoy having a real engineer and mechanic explain as you go. Really enjoy it.
Yet another easy way to set valves is to bar the engine over to TDC #1. Set both valves on #1, then #2 intake, #3 exhaust, #4 intake #5 exhaust. Bar engine over to #6 TDC. Set both #6 valves, then #5 intake, #4 exhaust, #3 intake, and #2 exhaust. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your videos.
Wes i sure am glad you started this channel. You and your precious little boy and lovely wife make for great entertainment along with your excellent mechanical skills & ability to teach. Thank you Wes. I hope your channel continues to grow and i hope it provides you with a nice source of income for your family. You truly deserve it sir.
I remember being on the Mayflower. We didn't crimp our lines back then we "knotted" them. That crimper brought over was new tech. We didn't trust it back then. Looks like they've improved it since.
Since I only work on my own stuff, and "made in the 80's" is considered "nearly new," that "not really happy with it, but I think it'll be okay" is pretty much my gold standard.
"That hex is pretty well stripped" he says as he stands there with a Swedish Nut Lathe in his hand! ROFL. Great video Wes! That old Oliver is in pretty good shape for being over half a century old.
The life hack for pouring is to turn the bottle on its sign and pour. It will let air in as it pours. That keeps it from surging, glugging, and spilling. I used to work at an auto paint company mixing paint and it was taught to me there. Something I’ll never forget. Works with any flat sided container. Super for antifreeze.
I just finished binge watching all your videos. You have one of the better channels on RUclips. The content is always worth watching and the editing is exceptional. I especially enjoy the electrical diagnosis videos. I started mechanic work in 1977 in West Texas where it rains 15 inches a year and 2 inches from November through March. I’ve never personally experienced a wheel stuck to a rotor, a rotor stuck to a hub, a steel brake line leaking that wasn’t rubbing on something, or a mouse nest in anything . I have had a bull snake come out of a stamped hole in a cotton stripper cab frame and strike at me. But your work on rusty bolts makes me feel like I’m watching a brain surgeon on a soap opera remove a malignant tumor from the President. Please keep the videos coming. I really enjoy you and your good family.
I just can’t believe how any regular mechanic with average skills could take on this job and be successful. It hurts my brain just imagining all the plumbing issues, fuel lines, hose and fitting compatibility Issues to replace solid fuel lines, return lines, cracked brass tees replacement. I’m sure You have a plan B if you can’t get a mechanical lift pump. I am now waiting to see how or where You are going to get replacement rims for a 60 year old tractor and mount new rubber, and what the hub issue that moved is? That old OLIVER GIRL has a new lease on life equipped with rear blade and front detachable loader that makes it versatile for crop work. I’m guessing a new machine would cost between 50 and 75 thousand. Great work Wes and Your experts at Area Diesel that saved this machine from being melted down to make rebar.
One thing I don't miss living in farm country is the howling wind on a brittle, frigid January night. And a Chevy Celebrity wagon, man I hope he has collector's plates for that.
I must say watching Wes bring life back into vehicles and other equipment is very entertaining and enlightening as well as cool to watch. Watching Wes Work never disappoints. Great video, Wes! Well done!
A full hour of was a treat, love the long video format Wes. Glad to see the oliver running so well, looking forward to future videos of her other issues being fixed.
we've got a Case 580D with a 4 cylinder diesel and it too has a Stanadyne Roosa Master injection pump. I now have an appreciation for the engineering inside of these pumps as they are very clever in how the manage timing, fuel amount, and governing. In my ignorance, I bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt it on my parents kitchen table. Slapped it back together and nothing... Not even fuel to the injectors. So I cranked in the max fuel adjustment for the injection rollers in the pump as hard as I could and the engine fired right up! It ran a little rough, would go up to the governor, and had no power. As soon as you touched the hydros or power shuttle it died. So I called up the diesel shop and he actually had the exact pump with the exact configuration we needed on the self! For a cool $1,000! WIth no choice I went down to get it and talked to the guy, told him my story, and he was shocked. He was surprised the rebuilt pump ran at all and said congrats on that achievement. Turns out, you have to throw the guts of these pump into jigs that calibrate each and every adjustment within the pump and it must be done in stages. Each pump is specially tuned to each engine for each tractor. With the properly rebuilt pump the tractor runs like new. Fires right up, easy cold starting (no glow plugs), loads of power, and the thing hardly smokes. This is a 1980 Case 580D with almost 7,000 hours. Amazing what a fresh pump did for it.
Hello Wes , tip : to put seal like you did on the driveshaft without special tools you can use a piece of soft plastic from a limonade or milk can . You cut with scissors the side out of the bottle and fold this on the shaft and clamb that with a hoseclamp or tyrip. hape it conical at the beginning of the shaft and grease the plastik. put the seal on teh plastik and push it in her place.You will understand that the plastik must be thin and strong enough, sometime i double the plastik skin for that reason . If the clamb is in the way of the seal change the position of the clamp or make it that is goese with the seal . For the rest you make a fine job keep it going greate respect from Friesland (NL)
You know you are moving up in the world and making the big bucks when you can afford a new gas cap ;) Glad to see that the old Oliver is running like a champ now :)
Can’t Wait To Talk About The Big Green Five Ton Looking Rig in The Background. Another Great Video, I Appreciate Your Efforts to Bring us Along With You on These Projects. Catch You on the Next One.
It seems to me Area Diesel Service is the best, everybody is singing their praises! I will have to buy a diesel vehicle just to support them!! Great to have people who are proud of their work, they team up well with you>
Hi Wes great video. Can't believe the work those guys at Area Diesel Services done on that pump and injectors, amazing. Nice to know there are still companies out there that are Honest, Diligent and have great attention to detail. And as for putting it in, if you don't know know you never will lol. Mick 👍🍻
The only thing better than watching an episode of WWW is hearing the side commentary from my 85 year old dad with dementia. Here’s a gem from this episode, “look at that dirty ass floor, you think someone on a tv show would at least clean the floor.”
I use a plastic bottle and cut a strip to make a cone to slide the umbrella seals on. Also I use the plastic strip to collapse the seal to slide on the pump. Agreed. What a pain in the butt.
Yay an hour long video! Lotsa fun stuff, outro was a nice touch. Those other machines caught my interest, can't wait to see you get your hands dirty on those!
Try Jennings Implement in Bement Illinois for Oliver stuff Wes , I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday morning , thanks and keep up the good work .
@Watch Wes Work shows what looks like a 2 1/2 ton military dump truck, makes me drool and says "never mind that"! I have its friend sitting right here, doing maintenance and fixing a fuel leak. Now I need to see more, Wes!
I'll tell ya Wes, you sure are good to your equipment. Nice to see stuff that's 50+ yrs old still being useful and running well. That was the shortest 1 hr video I've ever seen.
The more i watch your videos and listen to your discourse - the more i'm impressed by your exacting methods and meticulous workmanship. You're one of the best mechnics ever.
Very impressive, both the mechanical engineering, repair, replacement and modifications, and excellent photography/video editing skills. Demounting that front bucket, and it's storage position looked scary, pity the rams are exposed, but difficult to do otherwise. Again great full length video Wes. Thanks for sharing. Best regards from the UK. John.
Wow Wes what a nice pump. Hope it wasn't too expensive. Bandit farmer needs these people to rebuild his pump on his 1850 Oliver. Don has had nothing but problems after his was rebuilt in Ohio.
Wes, I think whoever told you about rotating your fuel additive jug 180 degrees was mistaken, at least for that particular jug. I’d try 90 degrees next time. That and a spill rag - worth a shot. 👍
Yes absolutely. You can easily pour without it spilling anywhere and air goes in without interrupting the flow. It's hard to imagine why someone would say turn it upside down.
I really don’t know how mechanics and you Wes can even remember all this stuff. I was good at framing houses and fixing water mains not tuning a motor. Nice you know how to do it Wes and a shout out to all the mechanics you people are amazing when you know what you are doing
51:00 for bottles like that you have to turn it sideways to pour it nicely. If it has a longer neck upside down is the way to go. Just like a 1 quart oil bottle or bar chain oil.
Mornin Wes, sorry I'm late to the show, but you were on your Oliver, I was tackling few items on my MF 135 last couple days. On your power steering lines, you can if you need to braze them, are if you can get them clean even use Stay silv flux, and 15% sil-fos if need be, and it actually works very well on steel lines. Rated for high psi, so shouldn't be an issue as far as meeting psi rating. Just make sure not to get it too hot with either application, and sol-fos should work on your brass block T's as well if you can't find replacements. Also once you've brazed the brass, it should be plenty strong enough to crank on it to tighten up your compression fittings on either end too. Might need to run a fitting brush through the brass fittings to remove any scale that occurred during the heating process, but that's easily enough done to prevent clogging any injector that might be inline with it. Looks like Young man's from Kansas 5 ton, as I don't believe it is a duce n half that I seen in the invisible background there. Seems ZZ Top song comes to mind here, something about a invisible 7-11. I'll leave it at that. Enjoyed the video as always, and my don't you have a nice looking old green tractor for one that needed so much attention. LOL, just wish mine ran as well as yours does now. Be safe and stay well Try yesterday's tractor supply, they have warehouses spread across the country, and they may be able to help you, are Abilene Machine, they have pretty good selection of parts too
Hey Wes. We use the umbrella seal on Continental pumps. We will actually drop them in a hot oil. Makes them pliable and also allows them to slip on. Just don’t heat the oil up hot enough to burn your fingers.
"Chris losey that Oliver guy "on you tube. He might know about the lift pump rebuild. His family used to be a dealership and he wrenches on them quite a bit on his Chanel. Love the old Oliver's.
I just came across your site recently. You are a great details person just like I try to be. I have a 641 Ford I inherited from my uncle. I've owned it since right out of high school (now age 70).
None of them. Those that will not have died from electronic failure and total unavaillability of spare computer parts will have died because their thin sheet metal will have rusted away, their plastic will be eaten by the sun and their small displacement, high manifold pressure engines will be worn out beyond repair.
Used to make them for my local council, diesel injector, ignitor and a pump and heating coil for the water. Very effective to use, just be careful on cars as can deform plastics. Electric ones seem to have taken over in depots now.
Hello from the UK Wes, love this long video, re - setting valve clearances (Tappets) my dad taught me an easy way when i was just a teenager - it was the rule of 13: which is one down adjust 12. 2 down adjust 11. 3 down etc....should always add up to 13 on a 6 cylinder or 9 on a 4 cylinder: 1 down adjust 8 etc. etc. give it a try one day, anyone else used this method? Love the show keep em coming, Stu
I live up by Black River Falls Wisconsin and there is a old Oliver White dealer he can fix the power steering hoses a lot cheaper than $150 a piece he uses the old metal fittings just replaces the rubber hoses he can get you anything you might need for the Oliver White tractors the place is a real treasure

After that brief clip I instantly want to see and know more about your dad’s shop! The treasures and stories!
Mornin Wes, sorry I'm late to the show, but you were on your Oliver, I was tackling few items on my MF 135 last couple days.
On your power steering lines, you can if you need to braze them, are if you can get them clean even use Stay silv flux, and 15% sil-fos if need be, and it actually works very well on steel lines.
Rated for high psi, so shouldn't be an issue as far as meeting psi rating.
Just make sure not to get it too hot with either application, and sol-fos should work on your brass block T's as well if you can't find replacements.
Also once you've brazed the brass, it should be plenty strong enough to crank on it to tighten up your compression fittings on either end too.
Might need to run a fitting brush through the brass fittings to remove any scale that occurred during the heating process, but that's easily enough done to prevent clogging any injector that might be inline with it.
Looks like Young man's from Kansas 5 ton, as I don't believe it is a duce n half that I seen in the invisible background there.
Seems ZZ Top song comes to mind here, something about a invisible 7-11.
I'll leave it at that.
Enjoyed the video as always, and my don't you have a nice looking old green tractor for one that needed so much attention.
LOL, just wish mine ran as well as yours does now.
Be safe and stay well
Try yesterday's tractor supply, they have warehouses spread across the country, and they may be able to help you, are Abilene Machine, they have pretty good selection of parts too
The original fittings were brazed.
Hey Wes. We use the umbrella seal on Continental pumps. We will actually drop them in a hot oil. Makes them pliable and also allows them to slip on. Just don’t heat the oil up hot enough to burn your fingers.
Good idea!
Man, you are fast with that torque wrench! ;-) Oh, and did you say your tires were...tired? lol
"Chris losey that Oliver guy "on you tube. He might know about the lift pump rebuild. His family used to be a dealership and he wrenches on them quite a bit on his Chanel. Love the old Oliver's.
Bom dia. Deus abençoe.
I just came across your site recently. You are a great details person just like I try to be. I have a 641 Ford I inherited from my uncle. I've owned it since right out of high school (now age 70).
How many modern tractors will still be doing this in 50 years...
None of them. Those that will not have died from electronic failure and total unavaillability of spare computer parts will have died because their thin sheet metal will have rusted away, their plastic will be eaten by the sun and their small displacement, high manifold pressure engines will be worn out beyond repair.
As long as there are still at least two, we can probably keep one running...
That unhooking of loading bucker was slick 😯
20:45 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the nest part 🤣
I like that pressure washer from the pre plastic age. Looks indestructable.
What about the Oliver crawler?
Used to make them for my local council, diesel injector, ignitor and a pump and heating coil for the water. Very effective to use, just be careful on cars as can deform plastics. Electric ones seem to have taken over in depots now.
I know. I need to finish it.
A man and his tractor, enjoyed this video.
and his dog!
The wife ought to place a hidden camera in the shop.....she could have her own channel..."Watch Wes Throw Shit" we all know hes not that patient...😁
I’ll subscribe! This one made for a good laugh.
She already has her own channel: “Mrs Wes”
Hello from the UK Wes, love this long video, re - setting valve clearances (Tappets) my dad taught me an easy way when i was just a teenager - it was the rule of 13: which is one down adjust 12. 2 down adjust 11. 3 down etc....should always add up to 13 on a 6 cylinder or 9 on a 4 cylinder: 1 down adjust 8 etc. etc. give it a try one day, anyone else used this method?
Love the show keep em coming, Stu
I live up by Black River Falls Wisconsin and there is a old Oliver White dealer he can fix the power steering hoses a lot cheaper than $150 a piece he uses the old metal fittings just replaces the rubber hoses he can get you anything you might need for the Oliver White tractors the place is a real treasure
I admire a journeyman, that keeps his workplace clean and orderly. Also his property. Thanks for being here for us old timers.
really enjoyed the video man I learned how to work on tractors thanks
