As we use to say in the locomotive repair trade, electrical problems took 5 hours to find and 5 minutes to fix, mechanical problems took 5 minutes to find 5 hours to fix
I still laugh to myself when writing service report "wiggle test failure" Did you replace harness at that time or was repair ok? John Deere now recomends crimp but connector instead of solder i heard.
@@nathankisner8332 when it failed the " wiggle test " the next step was to supply all the who , what, when and where to a GM rep and he would tell you what repairs they would authorize and I've seen many times what they would authorize would no way in hell fix the problem then it would be up to our service adviser weather to fix it properly or follow GM's recommendation and have to deal with the " come backs " .

Great video Warren as always your videos never get old. The pups are looking good. You do good work and you also inspired me at 58 to start doing mechanical work again. Miss getting my hands dirty so thanks to you its time to get back into again. Thanks for all you do Warren and God Bless.
Warren, when it hot outside, your job sure becomes ten times harder. Looks like it so hot a guy can't make good time on anything!!!! Keep sharing as we keep caring.
Hey Warren, another all around video. I like the welding parts. Seems like you can see progress where as the electrical seems like you look all day long to wonder if it’s fixed. Thanks much for all you do for the farmers! Hope you get some rest soon.
I was going to say doesn’t any near you take care of there equipment then I realized that you don’t cater to the people who care about there equipment. Neglect is how you pay you bills.
Its always a challenge going back and trying fix a shitty design because you can reinforce stuff but it ends up breaking somewhere else. Your right about cutting it out and redoing it.
Thank you for the video Warren, it's been some week at least I've got time to watch your videos, I think Oscar likes the buddy seat and the aircon, have a good Sunday with your family Warren.👍
Gophers are a real pain. This year is something else. Since the beginning of this season I’ve terminated over 1,500 gophers in 25 acres of hay. The fields are rougher than f. After harvest and before irrigation I’ll drag tires over to take out or lesson the mounds.
Thanks for the Videos, Warren. I appreciate you taking us along on your adventures. Hopefully your Service Truck is back to 100% and you got the overheating issue squared away. Beautiful Country we’re you work.
Do they hire pigs to run there tractors? If I had any tractor I ran in my days that dirty in the can my boss would have had my ass in his sling.i would have had a day off for that.
The mounding created by ground squirrels also known as "squeaks, or whistle pigs" is the worst. Badgers make bigger mounds, but not nearly as many of them. One ranch near your shop in McDoel let hunters attempt to thin the squirrel populations, but you could never get all of them. Then they tried poison, but after a while the squirrels learned to leave it alone. Any poison has to limit it's effects to the target species, so birds of prey are not affected.
Great weld job Warren electrical connectors are always a problem to diagnose and remedy looks like you fixed it for now stay cool most of the country is warming up awesome job for the books
It’s hard working people like you who are dedicated to their craft that keep this country running, I wish people would realize that and show more gratitude. Thank you!
That wiring is a pain in the ass. I had connections coming loose in the steering colum that ran tail lights . Just put everything in place and hot glued it . All is well. Tilt steering puts a strain on connections too. But I'm sure u knew that . Most wiring issues are a pain. Keep cool out there . Safe travels bud
@@kirkpalmer1709 Could be due to metal fatigue, they probably tested that but decided their results were acceptable for their projected lifespan. So basically as soon as it's out of warranty they don't care if the metal fatigues in the same spot on every piece of equipment lol
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, if I'm building a wiring harness for a custom car does it matter if I fused the hot wire going to the coil side of a relay?
Interesting vid for most viewers this farm equipment gets use with fair lot hrs but some operators don’t inspect their equipment before they start let lone go slow or easy on equipment. Boss farm equipment is like this, spreader, rake, hay baler, wheel rollers n seeder all broken within few years of use unlike our family farm equipment with similar size farm.
Hey warren, I just did the same thing today with a blower motor on a case 485 quadtrac. The same connector, I ended up cutting the wire on both sides of the connector and over laying the wire. I couldn’t save the terminal.
I don't know why they made that Draw-Beam arched. It would have been better if it was a straight beam. Maybe a piece of 4x4 section tube could act as a brace. Even a length of chain would help pull the rake forwards. ( Edit...Maybe the arch was for transport position..)
Great that you thought of the doggie's eyes Warren. The arc is not safe to view less than 40ft. Enjoyed the welding repairs! I always like, comment and sub to great channels ike yours bud!👍
Feral hogs are what ruin our fields here in NE Texas.Only critter in Texas you can hunt with a .50 M2 machine gun and or a helicopter (if you have the money). I use an assortment of calibers. Best luck with my trusty 12ga with 00 buck high brass.
Warren thanks for the video. I know how much fun it is to not have your service truck. I had me catlac convertor had come apart and blocked off the out let
But the wiener dog just wanted to watch Dad work. Not causing any trouble ... for your own good puppy dog! Take measurements for a retro fit when they are done cutting.
Blower fan season, last week changed one on my tacoma, yesterday, on thenway out to cabin, no air from Ram vents. Fan blowing but no air. When i got to cabin, checked cabin aiir filter and it was ok. Turns out the vent tube that connects to filter box had rotated and all the air was leaking there. A bit of duct rape and call it fixed

This is me as a mechanic.Electrical issues screwed me up so bad 😄
Thank you for the Friday night video. It's an excellent way to end the work week.
Back in the early 80s a wire wiggle test was one of the first things Cadillac recommended for their junk wiring harnesses
I still laugh to myself when writing service report "wiggle test failure"

Well, my head is totally spinnin.😵💫 Glad you understand that and got it goin your way, Warren.
Lookin forward to seeing the finished product.😊
Great to see Oscar and Daisy out with you again. Those intermittent problems are tough. Great job.

Good job Warren. PS. Great to see the Pups out with you, Stay Safe.
Hey warren. thanks for the inspiration to start going out on my own. Feels good getting people back up and running
Good for you. Hope it turns out good for you.
Good work! and really good video! Nice to see ole Oscar again.
Warren you did A GREAT JOB ON THAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Warren, when it hot outside, your job sure becomes ten times harder. Looks like it so hot a guy can't make good time on anything!!!! Keep sharing as we keep caring.
Just about to go to bed,but new WTAT video ,I'm staying up for another 46 mins...what's up warren ,,,,,hi from Ireland..
Hello
I see you are well busy again warren .
Don't forget to have some rest time 👍👍👍
I had ahell of a week with wiring. Every single harness I got for an upgrade kit was pinned wrong. Glad to see you having fun too
Ripping at night? I’ve never heard of that but it makes sense
Heard of putting anhydrous ammonia on at about 100 lbs an acre kills them also!!
those are some strong welds! I can see all them muscles from here
Thank you for the content Warren!!!!
Kudos to you, Warren, welding upside-down and not dropping your puddle once!
Hey Warren, another all around video. I like the welding parts. Seems like you can see progress where as the electrical seems like you look all day long to wonder if it’s fixed. Thanks much for all you do for the farmers! Hope you get some rest soon.
Brilliant as usual warren
Thank goodness there is someone like you to represent old America.
As opposed to new and “improved” America
Don't forget, if you lived in the "old' America you created the "new" America, hope you're happy with your work
I was going to say doesn’t any near you take care of there equipment then I realized that you don’t cater to the people who care about there equipment. Neglect is how you pay you bills.
A good day for it Warren, sunshine and the dog pack around you !
Just what i needed, thank you. G-d bless.
Thanks for your time and consideration Warren top job , bless you and your family stay safe 🙏🚜🚛🚜🚛🚜🚛😎
Thanks for sharing Warren.
Electrical problems can take longer than hell to find and diagnosis and sweet stuff all time to fix & drive u nuts great job warren 👌👍
Its always a challenge going back and trying fix a shitty design because you can reinforce stuff but it ends up breaking somewhere else. Your right about cutting it out and redoing it.
Thank you for the video Warren, it's been some week at least I've got time to watch your videos, I think Oscar likes the buddy seat and the aircon, have a good Sunday with your family Warren.👍
Good job Warren you definitely get a variety of problems to fix
I love my “cordless” milaukee fan. Would help in those cabs
Same issue with a TG210. I wiggle in the same area and will work for months.
Hello Warren. It looks like it wouldn't take much to Bust that. A right finger nipper.
Air blower... contact cleaner... dielectric grease. Call it good (for awhile) !
Great stuff again!!!!!!!!

Engineers just don't look outside the box when designing these things. A large gusset at the main angle point would be a great help.
I love digging through 2ft of junk to get behind the seat to fix a problem
You could weld a arm across the bottom form a truss that would triangulate it add much needed brace
That was my first thought. That looks like a flawed design from the factory.

We love it.

You need another little hood for your "weld inspector"...😄
great video thanks for sharing...
Do a lot of the same welding repairs that you do I have to take the equipment off the tractor is that necessary keep at it your doing a good thing
My neighbors will take their harrow across the hay fields after every cutting, I’m assuming it’s to keep it smoother. It may benefit the crop as well.

The issue is the welding arc will burn the retina's giving eye sight discomfort and eventually blindness

I remember the time when tractors didn’t have cabs or roll bars…just mother nature all around…
Step one remove tractor seat to gain access to fuse panel. What a pain.
I have to ask ? If everything is junk why bother fixing it ?
Junk feeds you every day.
Your name suits you especially by that comment you made Karen!
We as mechanics can tell a customer that the equipment is worn out but if they shake their wallet at us we just fix it the best we can.
Because the job need to get done. The lead time for new is long and expensive
A day in the life of a Northern Californian Master Mechanical Engineer. In summer it melts yer brain and in winter freezes yer crown jewels.
good vid warren
A bad winding on fan motor or screwy motor resistor.
Badger. Did you say Badger? We don't need no stinking Badger's!
Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!
All the puppies are loose!
Brace needed urgently on first job 😮
I had a 98 Olds that the blower motor stopped working turned out to be bad connection at blower controller. POS connections.

Vegans think they don’t kill animals by eating plants 😂😂😂
You should hire a welder, because that weld of yours doesn't look like anything.
OUCH!
I thought twinstars were a decent product? Hmm
need some mink to kill some pesty varmints, if they can kill rats then they can chase gophers into their holes and wack the hole bunch :P a dude trains mink to kill rats
Good to see the weiner dog agan.
You really would kill all the animals living in the field?
Have you ever been out west? There are millions of gophers! They are like rats in NYC.
