This is a great example of how Wes daily demonstrates the spirit of the American farmer. He didn't wait on assistance, he jumped in and dealt with it himself. Wes, you'll make it through all the stronger for your perseverance.
I just love these video’s where you fix your tractors. Since the day i started to watch your video’s my intrest on working on farm equipmant just grew. Now i’m working as a mechanic and love what i do. You still amazes me how good you now how to fix stuff. Greetings from Belgium.
I was glad to see you had somebody truck it for you. Doesn't matter what equipment you run you're always going to have problems. I was glad you found the footage of this. Have a great evening
To be honest nothing wrong with moving on and seeing how the rest of the world treats you. Might have been a good thing or maybe we see him back down the road.
woulked forthe pulp and paper mill in the bush a dozer pushed open a pit and you backed the huge korin feller bunchers, koring 3 man slashers, limbers, loaders over the pit and let the engene oil flow, 30 gallons a shot, dropped the 3 huge filters into the pit, replaced everything, back to work, and back the next one in, weather it qas 70 above or 50 below, spring and fall you dumped the 700 gallons of hydrolic oil and 7 huge filters into the pit, and pumped in ether summer or winter oil🛢
Joe sure brought a lot of character to the channel. Too bad he felt there were greener pastures elsewhere. Hope to see him back with you for straw season next year.
When I saw the title I immediately thought "I'm sure he just in-framed that earlier in the year, it can't have gone again already?" And then I realised it was footage from back then, thank frak, lol!
This was from back in NC earlier in the year, and even then Warren's way further out west isn't he? Would be kinda cool to see a collab but at the same time I feel they're too similar in personality to actually get on well in person.
@@danmackintosh6325 I believe warren lives in California. U maybe right but to see two old heads together to work a solution out would be immense. Stay safe my friend and. MERRY XMAS.
This is what attracted me to your channel, mr. Pandi. Your ability to fix farm equipment on UA-cam is only rivaled by the Western tractor channel. I do however understand that broken stuff is expensive but sure makes your channel interesting.
Our 8210 at 2400 hours had an injector stick open. It scoured the cylinder and broke a ring which when through the turbo. $20,000 later we got it back from the dealer and it hasn't missed a beat since. Bio diesel is what they thought caused the problem. Ironically it was also the number 4 cylinder.
Been there done that, 2019. Start of corn harvest. Turned the key, ten acres in. Not a fun day. I was down for 9 days. And everybody knows how rough 2019 was... I hope this really is an old video and you have everything sorted out now.
Tip for the day; cover those exhaust pipes on the hauls, you save your turbos a lot. WInd goes and spins it all the time and because there is no oil pressure you know what that means..
wes, at 10:50 when you say give me a pair of pliers or something, reminded me of the scene in Smokey and the bandit when jackie gleason is ordering his diablo sandwich at the diner. lol
I dismantled a bad 6.9 out of an 85 F350 crew cab dually and one piston was in the oil pan in about 50 pieces. The cylinder it was in had the walls pushed out on two sides. That was a pretty blue truck.
Oh boy...that's a tough day....I have a 1946 Avery Tractor, Model V, with a small Hercules 4-cyc engine designed in 1931 that i bought and got running this year...original head gasket....engine never been opened up and it's not burning any oil. Vintage simple tractors just seem to be more reliable...lot less horsepower..pulling power. I know they can make a simple beefy 8120, with great HP without all the fancy bells and whistles....but things just get so over-engineered. The intake and exhaust manifold are one part-combined and is held on by 4 nuts...carburetor 2 nuts. I have one white wire from battery keyswitch....to coil then to distributor thru the points to frame ground...push a starter button and tractor runs. It's basically one wire system...to Frame Ground. Frig electronic ignition and fancy controls...circuit boards...they did it right back in the 1930's to 1960's.
@@jflem22 i never said they do. you dont have them and your on a clock to get a job done you do what you have to. that simple, is it that hard for you to under stand. it is all part of business and any tool under 500$ is a 100% tax write off, meaning you get it all back at year end..
@@arnoldromppai5395 no I understand completely there bud but I guess you must have all kinds of money up front to just go out and buy whatever you need whenever you want. Wish everybody was like that. Thanks for blowing this up.
I love your channel. I admire your work ethic and everything you do. I honestly want to know how you keep your cool and not blow up or get angry? You have patience like I’ve never seen
Those 8120s and 8420s are prone to engine problems when they start to get up there in hours . Sorry for the bad news wess but you will persevere. Stay safe and farm on my friends !
It is in a livestream yesterday after a load of comments that reminded of Carl he said he had no interest of filming the install on the truck as he was fed up with the you're doing it wrong comments before he had even started on it. So Wes said he'd show this instead
Nothing to do with the video, can you use tireject for car tires? I've used it on my tractors but nothing that goes 70mph down the road. Also thanks for show that product over the years, it has saved me tons of money on tractor tires!
Wes - in the next video include the carnage from the engine, the video was a little dark, I couldn't tell if it just broke a ring or what it did - nice video Wes - its bummer about the pto pump install but I kind of understand why though... until the next one :)
I really wish i could have such a collection of tractors like you i would love to come down and start the old deeres especially the 720 and the 730 aswell as the 4010 that sat and was rusty for maaany yeaars
with the thousands of hours you put on all of your equipment something is going to brake love the video and as you say you show every thing and your tractors and not barn quines and work for there life.
Back in the day we considered we wer lucky if it came time to change oil on a piece of equipment put in the field. We just pulled the oil plug and let it drain.
I may have missed it, but how many hours? I guess some folks may dog a 15 year old tractor with a blown engine, but I remember my grandfather telling me that at 8k hours on his 3020 with blowby that it had a quickie overhaul at 4k hours (not sure what was done) and was looking at major overhaul at 8k coming up. Same with his 4430. People will run a tractor 10k hours now and badmouth it when it needs engine work or a new engine and then brag on a diesel pickup with 300k miles, which is usually less engine time and definitely less strain.
Exactly. It is unfortunate that it happens on a job. (My grandfather always said - stuff always breaks when you are working, and never breaks when it's in the shed). But if you go out and rebuild every engine on the farm preemptively, yes they will run great, but you probably won't make ends meet by the end of the season. That's just how the cookie crumbles.
@@bustersmith5569 yeah, an estimate. depends on where you drive and how fast - my car computer says we're somewhere in the ball park of 30 miles per hour on average over the life of the car. Someone doing more highway driving would be higher - maybe 50 average once you add in idling and stop and go speed. that'd be equivalent to half a million. Just trying to ball park 10k running hours when people go bonkers and come back with "yeah, well, we had an 806 that never had the head bolts loose and it has 21k hours". Yeah, Ok. Agree with the comment above - if you use it, it will break at some point, and probably not just when you're thinking "I'd like to set this aside and rebuild it right now". Tractors are like preventive medicine. You can do reasonable things, but it costs more money to try to prevent all failure than it does to accept some.
hello Wes, There are also rubber o rings on the outside of the cast iron cylinder sleeves that will leak antifreeze into the block which makes the water Jacket around the sle4evesi Joe Teresa and Tim
Well its certainly shit for you but I'm looking forward to the content of the fix Lol sorry Thought we lost the engine in our tj375 the other day Turns put to be a timing soliniod Lucky ish I believe you watch Warren at Western truck and tractor repair Real clever guy In his last video he said you have to find and fix the cause not just the symptoms Kinda your issue here im not a deere guy but they do have very reliable engines Best of luck
It is a dilemma when a head gasket blows on a high hour engine in an important machine. Does one just replace the gasket or does one rebuild the engine completely?
👍👍 I was hoping for this. Read in the comments that you are not going to do any videos of the truck? Damn shame! Shut your pie holes effing trolls!! Most of us want to see that!!
@@bigunone really? A serf? I thought he had it pretty good. I’d have no problem working for Wes. Seems like a pretty good guy that likes to have fun, but is also serious about his farm.
I blew a head gasket on a JD industrial loader started Running away on enj oil! I managed to shove it in high gear and push down on hyd and dropped the clutch stall it .two stroke detroit the old fellow was not happy ! New head ,INJ ,reseleved and the list goes on.
Was wondering if Joe came home then realized it's an old vid. Lol maybe if Wes would treat his sons like future owners instead of like hired hands then they would stick around and perform better. (IMHO) It's all about mindset, the mindset of a hired hand is different then that of a owner. This is a family farm they're supposed to be all co-owners. In America families are so messed up, it's normal for kids not wanting to have anything to do with their parents. They would rather sell their time and their life to some corporation then work together building their own family business. I wonder why?
If it ain't red leave it in the shed... nothing runs from work like a Deere.. just messing with you Wes... hate it when something tears up and costs money...
For those wondering, He Inframed the 8120 while he was in NC, pics posted on instagram back then. This is the video from that
Sounds about right, bloody in bread window lickers, always gotta ruin it for everyone else!!!
@@fjkingswood Thanks. I didn't realize!

This man is so under rated,he can fix anything ,just another day for Wesley Pandy,god bless you.
Your a hell of a hard worker Wes great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Joe seemed happy and in good spirits. It's a shame he decided to move on. Great video.
No fodder job this year and less hay did he really decide to move or pushed

Thanks Wes for showing a bit of the NC footage.
You are amazing , what a great learning experience for your kids
Our 8210 at 2400 hours had an injector stick open. It scoured the cylinder and broke a ring which when through the turbo. $20,000 later we got it back from the dealer and it hasn't missed a beat since. Bio diesel is what they thought caused the problem. Ironically it was also the number 4 cylinder.
I was sure to see you have the 8120 hauled home. That was a long way to drive it like that! I hope you videoed the repair.

Tip for the day; cover those exhaust pipes on the hauls, you save your turbos a lot. WInd goes and spins it all the time and because there is no oil pressure you know what that means..
he dose or serve dose it for him
wes, at 10:50 when you say give me a pair of pliers or something, reminded me of the scene in Smokey and the bandit when jackie gleason is ordering his diablo sandwich at the diner. lol

So you didn't lose all the footage from this summer?
It isn't harvest or hay/strawmaking unless something blows up. Ours last year was the mower multiple times and the tedder trying to snap in two.
Sounded like a 444 or N14 Cummins in that Kenworth...nice sounding engine.
Nothing to do with the video, can you use tireject for car tires? I've used it on my tractors but nothing that goes 70mph down the road. Also thanks for show that product over the years, it has saved me tons of money on tractor tires!

Awsome how all is working togethet!!
Excellent video keep up the great videos
Though Joe Quit Spoke to soon, carry over from North Carolina. !
Another video to remind folks life ain’t easy.
Yea Wes, this is the content I (we) like, great video
When in doubt TireJect It
@@onelonleyfarmer the 6410 has a leaky fuel pump (the fuel leaks into the engine) i don't think TireJect fixes that, although TireJect is great stuff
Good that you took it onto a trailer. Coolant and bearings is not a match make in heaven
Did you check the water pump, it is in the timing cover, if the weep hole is plugged it will dump water in crankcase.
and 2020 just keeps delivering.
got faith in you, you can do it!
Very nice video, thank you.
How many hours on the 8120?

mhhh i know that situation...had it happen on our old 6820....how many hours are on this 8120?
