      Yep... I said to one of my frieds, many a year ago: " if everyone would take just 30 seconds, every day, to make life easier for someone else, what a better world we could have..." ... many years laster, he repeated this to me, as one piece of advice that had "stuck"... as you say.

    Speaking to the end commentary: I have some minor wild land fire fighting knowledge due to my forestry degree, and a few summers doing controlled burns for the state in Louisiana. There is occasionally down time in a fire. I thank you Cody for taking your down/rest time to share your experiences on the job with all of us watching.

  • @melaniew77msn

    Cody thank you for you service as a volunteer firefighter and for this great video on the proper steps to get the best results possible from JB weld! That is a low pressure pump and I feel with the effort you put into your cleaning the JB weld will give you a long lasting and low expense repair. If I was going to hot work repair that part I would have 7$ in making the decision of the best way to do that! You have made a good choice If that repair did not work it could always be ground off and then a hot work repair could be made. My Dad always said if you can't fix it at least don't make it worse! That JB weld would be a lot easier to deal with than an improper attempt at brazing or welding. Sometimes good enough is better. Extensive hot work could possibly shift the damaged threads even more making the welded part worthless. I am a big fan of you common sense approach to handling problems. Keep up the good work.

  • @bcgames4054

    I watched this video last summer and bought JB Weld just cuz you recommended it. What a money saver! I left my Hot Water On Demand unit outside in sub-zero weather this past winter and cracked the water circulation tubes (duh). I remembered I had JB Weld and tried it out. Cracks fixed, no leaks. Our outdoor shower is back in operation. Thanks Wranglerstar!

  • @stevenearman
    @stevenearman 7 років тому +18

    Using a slower setting epoxy instead of a faster one is always the better way to get a stronger bond. This is because a slower setting epoxy has more time to wick into cracks, pores, etc., (going deeper) before it sets up. Using a corse abrasive to prep also helps by providing a better mechanical hold between the surface and the epoxy. If you are not under a time restriction, always go for the slow.

  • @chillaxter13
    @chillaxter13 7 років тому +1

    Totally behind you on your explanation for filming during the firefighting! I know several professional firefighters, and there are always little moments of safe down-time. They DO also need more volunteers and professionals, so getting the videos out of what it's really like is IMPORTANT! Thank you and keep up the great work and vids!!

  • @GTC1967
    @GTC1967 7 років тому

    This video is excellent and will likely save thousands of people a ton of money in repairs and replacement parts. A very small percentage of folks have the equipment or the knowledge needed to weld or braze ANY type of metal, let alone cast aluminum. JB Weld is a proven low cost and effective means of making reliable repairs, that EVERYONE can utilize. Again, this was a very thoughtful video that will help a lot of people!!! A+ on this one, Cody!!! re: the high cost of durable replacement parts.... most spare parts like this cover are a liability for manufacturers and they will never be sold so they have to figure in the loss of making parts they won't ever sell along with the cost of storing those unsold replacement parts for decades. I have seen warehouses full of brand new durable replacement parts that were manufactured for engines and equipment in the 1930s or 40s.

      I know that like on a windshield crack , instead of just filling the crack with adhesive, they drill the end of the crack to prevent the crack from running.

    • @amanofmanyparts9120
      @amanofmanyparts9120 4 роки тому +4

      @@RomanticPopPunk Absolutely. Drilling a circular hole at the end of a crack reduces the point stresses that cause a crack to propogate. The JB weld patch is just that - a patch. To properly 'JB Weld' that cover he would have had to grind out the crack and fill it with the epoxy mix in much the same way as a real molten metal weld is carried out.
      That's what I was hoping to see as I've got a seriously thick (nearly 2") crack to fix on a part that would cost $600 to replace.

    JB Weld, great stuff. I have used it many times since I was a teenager in the early 80's. Worked well on my dirt bike aluminum flywheel cover (Honda), a loose factory crimp on an aluminum four barrel carburetor, and the list goes on. Yes, mig, tig, or brazing would be better, but for a quick cheap cold weld it can be a viable option.

  • @suttonbogedain5874
    @suttonbogedain5874 7 років тому +13

    Totally agree about the JB Weld. Used it two years ago on an emergency mid-winter repair to a 65 yr. old steam boiler heating my house. lasted the season, emergency solved, house and 7 people warm inside. Summer came and we had a new heating system in place. Mid winter is no time to take 4-5 days to replace your heating unit.

Paid firefighters don't get paid enough to do what they do and Cody isn't even getting any money to do it. Shame on you, whomever you are, for your ignorant and disrespectful comments toward Cody. I have even more respect and more interest for what firefighters do thanks to the videos you upload sir and I appreciate the Extra effort you go through to make these videos, on top of all the hard work you put in to do the job and through the exhaustion. I'd like to give a special thanks to any firefighters reading this comment for the work you do, recently my home, family, work place and friends homes were kept safe from two very large fires in SoCal that were both very close to me. If anyone has one ill thing to say about any of these real life heros, just try doing their job for a day and you'll see that they walk into the mouth of hell and see things that would leave you curled up sucking your thumb, to protect people and property of complete strangers.

      It's these self same assholes who bitch about wasted camera footage, that need these vids shoved in their faces to SHOW... just what goes on out there.
      In fact, you know what, Wranglerstar, I think you should do some "in the shit" vids. If you don't have a neck cam, I imagine a gofundme will get you one in short order.

  • @TheTahoeJohn
    @TheTahoeJohn 7 років тому

    Hey Cody-Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the comments on the other video. I myself did not take the time to read what people were saying, but can very well testify to the pure ignorance of a great majority of people. Many years ago before the technology of digital cameras and such I too served some very enjoyable time fighting forest fires. None of the fires I was on ended up being huge devastating fires but did threaten nearby homes. So creating defensible spaces and fire breaks was the major part of the job of course. There was always a some down time, a few minute here, more time there. When we were working we were busting our butts and getting it done as quickly as possible, then wait for orders to move on to the next area. Until you have served on a firefighting crew you have no idea of what really happens. Thank you for taking the time to point that out, stand up for all who SERVE setting the record straight and sharing what a rewarding experience it can be. As for everything else, thank you again for sharing your families life with us, and I look forward to seeing the pump working- God Bless

  • @CalebMayfieldMHF
    @CalebMayfieldMHF 7 років тому +4

    Back when I was in high school my family and I were on a road trip in Michigan and the radiator on my dads pickup blew. The seam along the top that crimps the metal grate section to the plastic top section split about half was across the the length of it. The auto parts store in town didn't have a new one and would take a week to get it if we ordered it. Me being me and us running out of options we could afford, I went to the Lowes in town and bought JB Weld, a butane torch and soft solder. I uncrimped the plastic section, sanded down the metal and soft soldered the split seam back together, then crimped it all back in place and gave the whole seam a nice thick coating of quick setting JB Weld. We ate lunch and hit the road. 3 weeks later after all the heat and pressure the soft solder gave out, From the look of it the JB Weld never failed. Good stuff, especially when you do proper surface prep.

    Well said at the end there, as a former Wildland Firefighter in C.A. I don't think there is not enough video to show people the work wildland firefighters do. Media only shows "the excitement" and there is much much more to it, some exciting but mostly hard work and sweat for little to no pay. Keep making the great videos and stay safe out there.

  • @jamescooper2618
    @jamescooper2618 7 років тому

    JB is great stuff. I work at a tractor dealership and there are always customers who wont or cant spend big bucks on a repair. Many times the part is back-ordered or has been obsoleted and cant be found. We do just as you did with the die grinder and Rol-Loc discs. We have repaired aluminum HST housings, steel hydro tanks, plastic housings, fenders, hoods, lots os stuff I cant even remember. They make a putty product that I used to fix a hole in my car's oil pan called Steel Stick and a putty called Water Weld that cures under water and is safe for potable water too. Good job and good vid!

      I'm sure the JB weld will hold fine, but I think over time the epoxy might soften from water sitting in the pump unless it's drained after every use. Weld would be stronger too.

    I think the replacement parts are so expensive because in the case of production lines and storage, the manufacturer has to make surplus stock for replacement parts, then store them for many years, just incase someone wants one 10yrs down the line.
    We're probably only a handful of years away from affordable 3d printing to order.parts will be cheap then. Imagine you could go into a Honda shop and order an obsolete part from 30yrs ago, the parts guy taps in a code and it prints same day.

      It's more likely that companies will protect their intellectual property and you'll have to pay for that data. It will be interesting to see how this technology diffuses into the world and how manufacturers protect their profitability, but I assure you, they aren't going to allow technological innovations to endanger their market positions. This is the age old lie that we keep getting fed. That one day technology will un-encumber man and society. That will never be. The sad fact is, as new technologies emerge, corporations will invent new means to control them and own them and exploit them, and governments will do nothing to impede it given their loyal devotion to 'free' market ideologies. Take it from a guy with qualifications in 3D parametric modelling, mechanical engineering and a degree in design and innovation.

      @Anonymous-it5jw 4 роки тому +5

      Shredders I don't know about steel in the "cheaper" version, but in tests all over the internet, the original J-B Weld is consistently the strongest bond on just about everything people have tested. The Project Farm channel has done the most accurate, consistent and well thought-out tests of every type of epoxy, and the original J-B Weld is consistently the best. BUT, you have to let it set for at least 24 hours. About 47 or 48 years ago I discovered and used the original J-B Weld to fill pitted areas and other defects in the aluminum head of a 1958 Mercedes 220S engine(blown head gasket from the pitting), and the repairs and new head gasket were still working perfectly when I sold the car, about 8 to 10 years after making the repairs.

    As for the naysayers who poo poo the JB Weld, not everyone has a TIG welder in their garage or down the block. You learn other ways of doing things. JB is good stuff and I've seen many a repair effectively made with it. And as for the people who yak about shooting video at a wildfire instead of putting it out... stay in your burbs because you don't have a clue. Wildfires aren't "put out," they are contained. I agree with Cody, don't talk about things you know nothing of. There is a saying, "It is better to say nothing and let people wonder if you are stupid than to open your mouth and prove it."

      Right. I could never justify spending the money a proper TIG welder cost, when it's a tool I would use only every now and then. It needs to be said tho - JB weld doesn't fit every situation, but this, I wouldn't be too worried. However, I happen to have a welding shop "down the block" :).

    I have a concern Cody! Don't do this! Why? I had tested the PTO pump on my fire engine in the morning. When I got to a fire, still small and unnamed, but just starting to crown in that afternoon's heat, I pulled up where it was going to cross a dirt road - knowing I could knock it down with two hose reels and a side fixed wand with a thousand gallons. But the wire someone had used in lieu of cotter pin sheared when I engaged the PTO and it left me there dead in my tracks. Obviously I survived, but the 1/2 acre fire ended up burning nearer to 1000 acres of the Deschutes NF. Oregon's Spring Butte Fire. I blistered my FS Engine, melted the plastic blinkers and reflectors on that side of the truck, and worst of all lost that fire fight right then and there. You risk VASTLY more than a few dollars when you short your fire equipment, especially a pump. At least TIG weld it. It may break just when you need it the most.

They still viewed your video, they still had to go through ads (if you have any on the video) and they still improved your overall UA-cam stats. So yeah, hang in there and keep it up!

    • @STGN01
      @STGN01 7 років тому +2

      M3tcalf1 No the reason people make cheap crap is because they can sell it. You have to be very rich to have great quality for everything in your life, and if you only use a wrench a couple of times a year then paying double or more for it is not going to be an attractive proposition for you. Good enough is the reason we have so pleasent lives in the west as we have, its a much more efficient use of time and energy.

      Actually you may like AvE's BOLTR series, and it's baffling what's going on there. Most tools don't differ all that much in the amount of effort they take to make, and the material and parts cost differences aren't all that huge either, but there's a huge difference between brands as to whether and where they put in deliberate failure points. That's a distinct drawback of capitalism for you, where brands that do the best work carry the greatest risk of putting themselves out of business!

This could have ,, and should have been a 6 episode lesson...
      I'm just pulling your leg ,, it's good to see that you're finally coming around to my thinking that wasting so much time on tools is a complete waste ,, it's the results you get out of them that count...

    • @bbcooter388
      @bbcooter388 7 років тому +11

      First off, I am sure that Cody will thoroughly test this before relying on it for firefighting. Secondly, This repair only needs to hold 60 psi from the inside. Cody completely analyzed the crack and realized that pressure from the inside would not compromise the repair. Lastly, Welding Aluminum is very HARD TO DO, It is also a VERY EXPENSIVE process, due to the need for specialized equipment. I will bet the JB Weld holds long enough for Jack's kids to use the pump !!! Maybe even Jack's Grand Kids !!!!

    My wife recently told me about your channel - she's a fan and I think she's watched every one of your videos. I'll get caught up this winter. What's cool is, THIS is the FIRST and ONLY video I've watched of yours, so far. The very next day, I was doing maintenance on my new (to me) 1948 Gibson Model D garden tractor and the oil bath air filter, which was bone dry, piddled all over the concrete after I put oil in it. So, having watched this one video, I knew exactly how to fix it. Thanks for learning me on JBWeld. You blessed me - and ain't that just like the Lord, to lead us to what we need, at just the right time? So do you have a video on using Helicoil inserts? ;^) Jack

    This video is the first video of yours that I watched :). I bought a used canopy frame and the bottom of some pieces are rusted and deteriorating. I went looking for ways to repair them. The last part where you talked about the ignorant comments - I agree with you. They don't know what they are talking about. Firefighters are people who have hobbies and some free time and you men and women have a right to use that free time to let your mind relax from your work - whether that's checking your phone, shooting some video, or gazing out into the open. I agree that filming is a good thing, so that you can show the importance of your volunteer firefighting. Finally, this is your channel and you can block and silence whomever you want. This is not a news channel who aren't allowed to block the people's voices. That is not your obligation, so for those who claim you shouldn't silence the people - if it were my channel, I'd delete their comments, too. You spend your free time filming, editing, and uploading these videos. Their negative voices will only harm your channel, because people can be influenced by them and then your comment section is filled with those negative, nit-picking people. Please, keep up the good work! What you do is so important for people like me who want to learn!

    First of all, thanks Cody for sharing and making and keeping this world a more educated and safer place. I think replacement parts a so expensive, because of the storage. You can imagine that all of the parts you could possibly need for each manufactured machine, has to be readily, so warehouses will have to be made, filled and maintained for our needs. Some parts might not be needed, so the manufacturers have to share the real costs among all of them. I'm not defending monster-companies, just trying to find an explanation....Again, many thanks for your sharing, and thank you for visiting Holland, and your perspectives on our lovely country!

    We once repaired the crankcase on the jet ski I used to race (semi-professionally) using JB Weld. The engine was heavily modified and blew the connecting rod straight out of the crankcase... a total engine failure. We had to replace the top-end, get new connecting rods, etc, but the JB Weld held out for the rest of the season, even under such extreme conditions! BTW, we couldn't have the cases welded because the porous aluminum castings were saturated with oil, but we were able to clean them and scuff them up good enough that the JB Weld held until I eventually sold the motor and never heard any news that it ever failed! I'm a believer...
