@@jadedrock1 Hey, Wes can add a whole new viewership this way! I wondered what was going on occasionally, but if you've ever seen guys from like Indonesia work on engines and such, they are generally quiet and on occasion add "English" subtitles. Silent works for many foreigners as English is currently the second language around the world and one can pause the video to look up an English word in the dictionary.
Super WEIRD, forgot whomever stated you should not be narrating, they can go watch other channels in my opinion, your narration and commentary no matter how dry or querkee it may be is part of your channel and makes you who you are, I say you keep following your gut, do it the way you always have been and press on, look at the numbers, they DO NOT LIE, 68,000 subscribers, obviously agree with me WesWork..!
No problems with a commentary Wes. Half the reason for watching this kind of content is for the makers personality. If people don't like it there is always a volume control :-)
Also have to agree. Wes talks just enough for me. Some guys I follow can be a bit long winded, then on the other side of the spectrum are the guys that don’t say anything... Wes is like the perfect mix between the two!
@@budandbean1 there's a definite difference in someone just yammering because they like the sound and talking while there's action. Talking while working is a whole different deal.
The best bit in the non-talking bit was when you started talking about not talking. Max scared the crap out of me. Keep the chatter, it's why I hang around in your shop.
Silent fork lift repair? How in the world should I exactly know now what you are doing and learn additionally from it without your explanations? Your videos had been excellent with the "talking" respectively all the necessary explanations. That's definitely fundamental. If viewers don't want to hear that they could simply turn the volume down/off or use fast forward until explanations are over.
The silent repair is very good, because then we have no information about why he choose a given strategy. That opens up for a bucketfull of second guessing. And second guessing, along with pure disinformation seems to be the only thing that get people out of bed these days.
Viewers who don’t want or need commentary must already have mastered this task and are only here to judge. I would prefer to hear what you’re opinion and experience has to offer. Plus there is the appreciation by those who see this channel for what it is.
Wes, you have a great talent and ability to explain what you are doing. Keep it up! Some other yahoo RUclips "mechanics" just blather on and are just plain annoying.
Have to agree just stumbled onto this channel this past month and definitely one of the more knowledgeable people on a lot of subjects and honest when hes just winging it and doesnt know. You can tell he is a very wholseome man brings me vibes of my ole home town.
Part of learning is hearing someones thought processes, and experiences while they are doing a job. What pitfalls to avoid, and general chatter is welcome as well. You need to keep doing you Wes, and stop worrying about ridiculous comments like that.
Great job with Max! I would not be watching, subscribed, or recommending your videos to others if you were silent. Keep talking and sharing your knowledge. Thanks for the awesome work so far!
Never give in to the "comments NAZIs" they will just find something else to whine about. Ignore them, it's your channel, talk as much as you want. I enjoy the conversation.
I learn from your talks. Learn something new each time. This isn't a "Restore a 70-year-old abandoned garden tiller" channel. I put them on when I want to go to sleep.
If they don't like you talking, they can mute the sound. As a non-mechanic, i like hearing what you are doing, what a certain component does, etc. It's YOUR channel.
@@looklookerlooking Not necessarily. I'm seeing more and more channels saying that some of the trolls are now unblockable. Usually its the objective political/general news commentary channels and the trolls are the far leftist tools that never bring anything intelligent or valid to a conversation but I occasionally now see some of these troll account posting stupid stuff in non political/general news channels and nothing is being done about it there either, as if those channel owners cant remove them either.
Love your commentary. Especially when you say things like: Be sure to comment that I'm using the file wrong, that's always fun to read. And the classic about pouring oil in a bald eagles nest. Have a good one and looking forward to the next one. 👍
Wes, you talk as much as you want. I love how you explain everything in depth. The ones who want less of you talking are the ones not wanting to learn.
I like the trick with the pliers to install the rod seal in the gland end, I’ll have to use that next time instead of wrestling with it. Oh and please keep commentating, it was a bit awkward.
Wes, the no talking thing doesn’t work for me. I come here to watch and listen to you work. You provide a unique perspective about your jobs and that is refreshing. Cheers from Australia
I expect you'll throw your hands up in frustration, but i enjoy your commentary. I'm not familiar with the tools and techniques you commonly use to get a job done, so your descriptions are important to me. Keep up the interesting videos, and glad the the pup came away unscathed.
Sort of the point of these videos - to inform the uninformed and those who are interested. If I knew exactly what he was doing and why I wouldn't bother watching.
The external mic does sound better and you're using the file wrong. I guess. I don't know. You told me to say it.... And my two cents on yacking, I prefer verbose mode. I think you say some funny shit.
Wes, your a good man, a good father and a good mechanic. Just be yourself...that's good enough for most of us. Always remember the words of John Lydgate: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.”
Oh, that dog scared the hell outta me too. And for me the experiment failed. I like to listen to you telling what you do. It's just chill; way better than over the top kids slamming body mods on expensive cars and think that's real content.
Wes, I love how you are just baiting the youtube armchair experts. Keep it up and don't let them get to you. Love the videos! Also I think the things I really enjoy on your channel IS the narration!
I watch your videos for education / entertainment.... so the narration is 100% part of the learning experience for me. So my vote is YES on the narration.
Because some just love to complain. Ever been on a tech forum where the arm chair know it all's have decided they run the show? It doesn't matter how fact and reality based your info is. They will find a way to claim it's all invalid even if it has absolutely nothing to do with refuting anything you have said about an actual technical subject.
Wes, keep up the good work! Also, keep talking us through your work. Its how we learn from you and your personality is what makes the video enjoyable. I missed the "There is your problem lady.". Ignore the know it alls. They can just mute if they do not like it. Looking forward to your next video.
I watch for the content, and that includes the commentary. The “No Commentary” thing does work for some channels, but in my opinion, yours is better with it.
You're just being modest, I know you didn't actually forget to tighten the hoses on the forklift, you were just flushing the fittings of any debris before final torque per manufacturer's spec. I personally like the narration. You're a knowledgeable and thorough guy and I appreciate the insight as to why/when/how you are doing things.
Hi Wes, I love the videos. Without talking how would we learn a few tricks of the trade. sadly you'll have to ignore the small percentage of ignorant people and keep doing what you do. we are drawn in, watch and subscribe to watch Wes work.
Like it when you share the job verbally Wes, much more fun and interesting, those that think that Talking is to much they need to get a devise that has a mute and volume control...
I prefer when you explain things what they are and how they function. I also like your humor and stories you tell. That is what makes your channel unique.
Because I know so little about these things, I much prefer when you explain as you go. You have a great way of talking about what you do and sharing your knowledge. Either way, I still find it fascinating to watch.
Well first off I enjoy your rambling narrations, secondly I never realized Proto made v gullet angle wrenches and finally lets hope the puppy doesn't stick his head in there again. Good idea using TFE tape on the pliers.

After watching wes work for a while now I realise how glad I am for Wes actually explaining etc. I work on heavy machinery myself and basically Wes knows a whole lot. Im REALLY and I mean REALLY glad he narrates.
Good morning Wes. Like most of your fans are saying if the "yahoos" don't like the talking then they have two choices (1) don't watch or (2) hit the mute button. Keep up the the good work . Thanks for the great vids. You have a fan in Falls Church , VA.
I skipped most of the part without commentary because your personality is what makes the channel. There are a million channels that fix heavy equipment, etc. but there is only one Wes.
I watch your videos for the learning first and entertainment second. Really love the narration contrary to what some may say. Great job Wes. I love the fact that you are a gentleman to your family and customers. You have real class.
Hello from Ireland, enjoying your videos quite a bit here! Regarding the non commentary on the forklift fix, i was able to follow what was being done while only having a VERY basic understanding of mechanics involved, and a little guess work on my behalf as to whats happening on screen. I think id prefer the commentary as i enjoy hearing your take on things and the step by step detailing you do throughout your work, and your thought process behind it. Your diagrams and explanations of systems are very helpful to the average joe soap like myself without an in depth knowledge of the mechanics involved! Thank you for the videos, keep up the good work and looking forward to more videos in the future!
My dad was a mechanic, a country mechanic, he would and could fix anything. But for a long time he was a John Deere field service guy, he loved the damn things. I love your video's, it takes me back to working with him in the '70's and '80's doing virtually the same stuff (without the rust here in Aus). Don't change anything you do especially the chatter, anyone who doesn't like it can bugger off I reckon.
One of the primary reasons I subscribed to you channel was due to your commentary, probably one of the best , clear, easy to follow and very informative. I wouldn’t listen to comments that say otherwise.
Nice video! Seeing wiring jobs like that never fails to make me laugh! Also I think commentary is essential for learning something which is a big part of why I watch your videos. Well that and the humor. Keep it up!
Without you talking its like having a shop background noise simulator, I could play the video in a mother tab and feel like I'm at work, keep up the chatter Wes! Its good stuff
After 18:55 it's awfully quiet Wes, no not my favorite WWW style, it was nice to watch you work again but as said it's awfully quiet ... and by-the-way ... your using the file wrong😂
Yep. I'm working on fixing up a old International 300 Utility and half the hydraulics fitting are barely hand tight and the other half make up for it by being so over tight it takes a 24" wrench to break lose 1/2" hose fittings. That and apparently every hose that only needed to be 24" - 36" long had to have one at least 42' - 60"+ in its place and any hose that needed to be 40" - 76" long had to be made up of at lest 2 - 4 miss matched 18 - 36" pieces. Then to really make it all head scratcher. Any bolt that that anything pivoted on that was loose had to be welded (Baddly) in place rather than being replaced with a new one of the correct diameter and length.
@@tcmtech7515 Oh wow! That sounds like some of the stuff I've worked on in the past. Really makes you wonder what people were thinking when they did stuff like that...
@@kd5byb Oh it gets better! " When I had the new tires put on I had ~ 400 #'s of solution put in." BUT IT'S ALL IN ONE TIRE .......... W T F? HOW....... WHY!!!?????? Both tires were replaced at the same time. 😵😵😵😵🤯🤯🤯🤯 The previous owner had both rear tires set all the way and I needed them all the way in so I figured that the easiest way to move them was to just take them off the axles and switch them left for right. First tire assy was easy to take off and move around by hand. The second one needed a forklift to move. (same forklift holding up the tractor while both rear tires were off.) Beyond that, every lug nut and outer rim bolt was rusted solid in place (but still lose enough to not hold anything tight to what it was supposed to) and needed to be rethreaded to be usable enough to hold things in place until I can get to town tomorrow and get all new ones. That was not how I wanted to take 30 minute tire switch around and turn it into a 3+ hour hard labor job. 😋
Thank You for Your response. I absolutely appreciate Your commentary. I like the interaction with Your Wife, Son, and Dog and getting his head stuck between tire and bumper keeps it real. The feedback You gave about this multi cultural John Deere tractor with pieces from GERMANY, FRANCE, & maybe JAPAN shipped to USA for assembly then redistributed around the world. Without Your commentary and hydraulic hose kit sent to You showed the real complexity of skill and knowledge and sourcing skills to evaluate what the hell they sent You and then to figure out the kind of adapter and thread from what country standard is required to make it work. I don’t say this lightly but YOU ARE THE SMARTEST MECHANIC ON U TUBE. My Buddy is 79 years old and he has many houses and lives part time in a gated community with many GM vehicles in PHOENIX. You did a piece on CADILLAC XLR, I ForWarded Your fox o the XLR in case he ever has an issue with it. Bruce emailed me back and he showed Your fix to another retired buddy that is a retired Service Manager for GM and they are both in a car club.Bruce showed him the Video and was super impressed and said You are one very SMART DUDE. Bruce also has a classic CLSSIC CADILLAC ALLANTE, and a VAN AT PHOENIX. I quit buying GM after purchasing a 1979 Cadillac right off the front page of MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE.The car was baby blue with stainless steel sky roof with baby blue diamond tufted interior and was absolutely stunning with maximum load of accessories. I am a retired electrical Superintendent building huge mining Projects around the world. I know a lot about process control an wiring but I always get stymied by automotive wiring. I am truly amazed that you are the best I know to work on junk that has been messed with many times and come up with replacement relays, pin connectors and rewire-it to make it work after it has been chewed on by rats and squirrels.MORE TALK NOT LESS.I-never get tired of learning. THANK YOU
Wow! That's pretty interesting. I guess the XLR owner posted the video on a forum and he said some of the guys were pretty interested. I thought it was interesting, but kind of obscure.
There was no forum involved this GM GUY and another good neighbor was the head of all plant and buildings for INTEL also retired and also in their car club. Very interesting and important people and now they have all heard about WES.
Oh man, so glad Max is ok after getting stuck in the fender well. Lucky he didn’t break his neck trying to pull his way out. You saved him in a nick of time. BTW, your narration is what makes the channel!
Hey Wes This is YOUR channel, not anyone else's. If they dont like it, they dont have to watch it, why would you even care what others think. You have a whole lot more of us, who really enjoy your details on how you fix things. Thanks for Sharing your videos
Great job on the tractor! I found that without you explaining what you're doing with the cylinder, I had trouble following along. I find it more educational and entertaining when you chat with us Wes!
I love the talking in your videos, so of your comments make me chuckle. Please keep making them I love watching them from over the pond in Great Britain.
Wes shows you that engineering is far more than swapping out parts - he is a good model for any youngsters who like to use hands and brain - so for me I much prefer him to ‘talk us through’ his reasoning to get a sound workable solution to the problems he encounters - many thanks Wes

TALK FFS..and eff the trolls...and great save on Max...it was panic city for a minute with both of you..he looked up at you with such gratitude...
My one cat was watching the video with me and when that happened, he just gave me the look like, "You know this never happens with cats, right?" 😁
Talking is better! Please keep talking..
I really enjoy your input on the subject and even off the subject so please keep talking. Great video
Hello from Ireland, enjoying your videos quite a bit here!
Regarding the non commentary on the forklift fix, i was able to follow what was being done while only having a VERY basic understanding of mechanics involved, and a little guess work on my behalf as to whats happening on screen. I think id prefer the commentary as i enjoy hearing your take on things and the step by step detailing you do throughout your work, and your thought process behind it. Your diagrams and explanations of systems are very helpful to the average joe soap like myself without an in depth knowledge of the mechanics involved!
Thank you for the videos, keep up the good work and looking forward to more videos in the future!
Good technique on bleeding out all the air out of that tilt cylinder!
I like you explaining what you're doing and why, that's how I learn.
You’re using your file exactly like I would. Good save on the pup.
My dad was a mechanic, a country mechanic, he would and could fix anything. But for a long time he was a John Deere field service guy, he loved the damn things. I love your video's, it takes me back to working with him in the '70's and '80's doing virtually the same stuff (without the rust here in Aus). Don't change anything you do especially the chatter, anyone who doesn't like it can bugger off I reckon.
One of the primary reasons I subscribed to you channel was due to your commentary, probably one of the best , clear, easy to follow and very informative. I wouldn’t listen to comments that say otherwise.
Nice video! Seeing wiring jobs like that never fails to make me laugh! Also I think commentary is essential for learning something which is a big part of why I watch your videos. Well that and the humor. Keep it up!
Without you talking its like having a shop background noise simulator, I could play the video in a mother tab and feel like I'm at work, keep up the chatter Wes! Its good stuff
After 18:55 it's awfully quiet Wes, no not my favorite WWW style, it was nice to watch you work again but as said it's awfully quiet ... and by-the-way ... your using the file wrong😂
Heh. Well it was a fun experiment.
@@WatchWesWork hope your convinced to keep talking
I really like when you talk on your videos. It's very educational and entertaining! Please don't do the silente videos. Thak you.
I like hearing you talk and explaining what you are doing!
I love hearing you talk and go through the process
"Helps if you tighten the hoses" If I had a dollar for every time I've done something like that... :)
Yup....drained 10l of coolant onto my driveway recently because of this reason lol
Yep. I'm working on fixing up a old International 300 Utility and half the hydraulics fitting are barely hand tight and the other half make up for it by being so over tight it takes a 24" wrench to break lose 1/2" hose fittings.
That and apparently every hose that only needed to be 24" - 36" long had to have one at least 42' - 60"+ in its place and any hose that needed to be 40" - 76" long had to be made up of at lest 2 - 4 miss matched 18 - 36" pieces.
Then to really make it all head scratcher. Any bolt that that anything pivoted on that was loose had to be welded (Baddly) in place rather than being replaced with a new one of the correct diameter and length.
@@tcmtech7515 Oh wow! That sounds like some of the stuff I've worked on in the past. Really makes you wonder what people were thinking when they did stuff like that...
@@kd5byb Oh it gets better! " When I had the new tires put on I had ~ 400 #'s of solution put in."
BUT IT'S ALL IN ONE TIRE .......... W T F? HOW....... WHY!!!?????? Both tires were replaced at the same time. 😵😵😵😵🤯🤯🤯🤯
The previous owner had both rear tires set all the way and I needed them all the way in so I figured that the easiest way to move them was to just take them off the axles and switch them left for right.
First tire assy was easy to take off and move around by hand. The second one needed a forklift to move. (same forklift holding up the tractor while both rear tires were off.)
Beyond that, every lug nut and outer rim bolt was rusted solid in place (but still lose enough to not hold anything tight to what it was supposed to) and needed to be rethreaded to be usable enough to hold things in place until I can get to town tomorrow and get all new ones.
That was not how I wanted to take 30 minute tire switch around and turn it into a 3+ hour hard labor job. 😋
Felt bad for that dog. He was really freaking out
Thank You for Your response. I absolutely appreciate Your commentary. I like the interaction with Your Wife, Son, and Dog and getting his head stuck between tire and bumper keeps it real. The feedback You gave about this multi cultural John Deere tractor with pieces from GERMANY, FRANCE, & maybe JAPAN shipped to USA for assembly then redistributed around the world. Without Your commentary and hydraulic hose kit sent to You showed the real complexity of skill and knowledge and sourcing skills to evaluate what the hell they sent You and then to figure out the kind of adapter and thread from what country standard is required to make it work. I don’t say this lightly but YOU ARE THE SMARTEST MECHANIC ON U TUBE. My Buddy is 79 years old and he has many houses and lives part time in a gated community with many GM vehicles in PHOENIX. You did a piece on CADILLAC XLR, I ForWarded Your fox o the XLR in case he ever has an issue with it. Bruce emailed me back and he showed Your fix to another retired buddy that is a retired Service Manager for GM and they are both in a car club.Bruce showed him the Video and was super impressed and said You are one very SMART DUDE. Bruce also has a classic CLSSIC CADILLAC ALLANTE, and a VAN AT PHOENIX.
I quit buying GM after purchasing a 1979 Cadillac right off the front page of MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE.The car was baby blue with stainless steel sky roof with baby blue diamond tufted interior and was absolutely stunning with maximum load of accessories.
I am a retired electrical Superintendent building huge mining Projects around the world. I know a lot about process control an wiring but I always get stymied by automotive wiring. I am truly amazed that you are the best I know to work on junk that has been messed with many times and come up with replacement relays, pin connectors and rewire-it to make it work after it has been chewed on by rats and squirrels.MORE TALK NOT LESS.I-never get tired of learning. THANK YOU
Wow! That's pretty interesting. I guess the XLR owner posted the video on a forum and he said some of the guys were pretty interested. I thought it was interesting, but kind of obscure.
There was no forum involved this GM GUY and another good neighbor was the head of all plant and buildings for INTEL also retired and also in their car club. Very interesting and important people and now they have all heard about WES.
Oh man, so glad Max is ok after getting stuck in the fender well. Lucky he didn’t break his neck trying to pull his way out. You saved him in a nick of time. BTW, your narration is what makes the channel!
I just figured that when a mechanic is working on a Clark the "commentary" from the mechanic is rarely family friendly.
That's why I skipped the first hour of fighting with that pin...
@@WatchWesWork it only took an hour ?
I'm impressed.
2nd: I came to learn. Talk, please.
you are all good talk if you want, it good to find out thing, if you dont like it there is the volume control ya.
Hey Wes
This is YOUR channel, not anyone else's.
If they dont like it, they dont have to watch it, why would you even care what others think.
You have a whole lot more of us, who really enjoy your details on how you fix things.
Thanks for Sharing your videos
Great job on the tractor! I found that without you explaining what you're doing with the cylinder, I had trouble following along. I find it more educational and entertaining when you chat with us Wes!
That was so satisfying hearing the tractor running so good and really interesting seeing how the hydraulic ram was repaired, brilliant.
Love the usual commentary its very entertaining, no commentary is a bit odd
I like the narratives. I like to know the reason why you`re doing a step
I love the talking in your videos, so of your comments make me chuckle. Please keep making them I love watching them from over the pond in Great Britain.
Wes shows you that engineering is far more than swapping out parts - he is a good model for any youngsters who like to use hands and brain - so for me I much prefer him to ‘talk us through’ his reasoning to get a sound workable solution to the problems he encounters - many thanks Wes
