On a side note, fun video, watching somebody else work on heavy equipment in the rough conditions, instead of me, I miss this work, and frankly, really did enjoy the never ending challenges, but damn, did it make me into an old man fast, and I am only 45, and ever joint in my body hurts these days, especially my hands and hip joints and worst of all, my knees... Please note, all is self inflicted, based on the facts that I never just paced myself ,and had to be full throttle all the time so I could get on the next one, money, money, money, money...... Lol. I really don't think I would have lost that much money if I had just calmed down and stayed on a steady pace. It likely, would have been less then $5000 a year difference, neck ,i t may have been $0.00 difference, as it isn't like the the broken down units were going anywhere until I get there, lol... To late now, damage done, folks pace yourself, so you can do this brand of heavy and heavier work, for a life time ,instead of just 15 years.. If your body starts to hurt, slow down, and stop pushing through the pain, with in reason. Plus, when you hurt, it makes things not as fun as the kind is having to share some of its power to handle the pain management aspect of things... This is my public service announcement PSA, for the day..
If someone had given you the advice you've kindly posted 5 or 10 years ago, what would have you said..? Some folks are just born to work. There are not many left that are even prepared to get their hands dirty,
Glad you weren't hurt after seeing that pipe wrench let go. You definitely work hard and earn everything cent for your labors. You got the best of so many world's. You like what you do, have good companions with you at work, beautiful scenery, highly skilled and get a real work out everyday. Thanks as usual for shareing.
Releasing threads-It may sound stupid, but it works, i saw someone on UA-cam testing it out, on rusted wheel nuts. It is the candle trick; you obviously clean the visible threads up. You can use a hand held gas torch, heat the area, it does not have to be red hot, when the surface becomes hot enough, the candle will melt, and the capillary action takes the wax into the thread. It is likely you will use it a lot. If you know someone that makes candles, get some without wicks in.
As usual, beautiful scenery and great work! We used to have a Ursus tractor. One time when dad parked it on the yard and switched off, the darn tie rod fell on the ground! Just like in that feed truck you were working on. Luckily it didn't pop out on the highway on his way home.
You are absolutely correct these trucks do live a rough life, so do the people that operate them, the people who work on them.just to bring the world an abundant, safe , steady, cheap,and nutritious supply of food!
I broke my aluminum pipe wrench 2 weeks ago too and ended up picking up a nice cast Irwin 36” from Amazon for $87 so far so good! Fukr is some heavy lol ! Thanks for sharing hope all is well on your end won’t stop raining here ! 👍
Hey Warren, great video keep them coming. Always an adventure out in the field stay safe. Looks like a new pipe wrench is in your future. Catch you on the next one.
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. I was surprised you just didn't weld that wrench back together just to finish the job. I am glad you didn't get hurt.
Lucky you weren't hurt when the wrench broke. I was wondering if it is possible to put the tie rod end in the vice and turn the tie rod shaft with the chain wrench. Boy those suckers were tight. Great job.
Mr. Mossburg with 18" & 8 3" mags waiting, with a hand stock is a nice little package. Direct from the factory, come with heavy barrel , goes poof nice.
I kid you not one bit here. Im sitting watching this video and hear a bang. I go outback and my neighbor backed his f250 into a stack of trusses. Screwed up his bumper and quarter good. Old navy locker he had bought was in the back and flew out. Was trying to back up to a shed to unload that locker. Well, its unloaded alright. All he said was "damn passenger mirror was fogged"
Hi young man, you were lucky not get badly hurt when that wrench broke! I have never seen a wrench that size break under one man pulling on it. If I had to guess I would be blaming Chinese quality for that. Now more than ever I check for where stuff is made. Stay safe young man!
Dang man, it's always the cheapest parts you can replace on a work rig that cause the biggest headache. A bit of maintenance goes a long long way as well! I always take a bit of anti seize on those threaded ends for tie rods. Makes life ten times easier the next time! Can definitely tell zero maintenance is done on that trucks undercarriage. Those greased ends last a good long time when all greased proper!
That is bad luck on that pipe wrench. I've got the same one, and I just this weekend used a 5' piece of pipe as a cheater on it (someone gobbed up a 3 1/2 union with sealant), no problem. I'm amazed you broke it without an extension, you're hell when you're well.
Great video I have a bad track rod end on my truck which is seized cant get it out so the best bit for me would have been to see how you broke the tapers. thanks for showing how tight the ball joints can be I will have to take it all off and go back to my shop to sort it. again thanks
run into a black bear myself live in alaska the way i do it is if one comes near i fire off 2 rounds if they still keep coming i drop them 12ga 3 inch slugs work the best for me thank god i have only had to do that twice in 40 years
I’ve watched this twice now, it was a pretty day anyway ! watching you with the unbroken pipe wrench leads me to ask why you don’t have a mechanics helper (six foot of 2” scaffold tube) on the truck !? this stuff is essential as a lever as rollers(as scaffolding ?) I’ve even seen it used to “quieten” a drunk bricklayer, got to have some !
Great video again Warren, would have put the passenger side on first then drivers side, saves you walkin back & forth, steel stillies any day, glad your ok after that fall.
Warren, ridged will replace that wrench if you pursue it. If they are half the company that they used to be they will also want that wrench to figure out how and why it broke. I was in piping industry for 47 years and never saw one bust like that (plenty of bent/broken handles from putting ‘pull pipes’ on them) but not casting break. Make sure your supplier gets ahold of ridged.
@@Frankie431 After seeing your comment, I did just that! I wasn't able to send video clip, but provided them with URL to his video and explanation of what happened, so hopefully Warren will see some results from it! Maybe if nothing else he will get lot of views from the people at Ridged! Great idea, thanks Frankie!!!
Good video mate, not preaching as I see you do a lot of work but Working on earthmoving equipment a long time and antisieze is not a waste of time, probably one of the first things you learn is what you need it on. Tie rod threads, the taper on the ball joint, the nut and the wheel studs for sure.
If it didn't for you Warren the owner of the truck have to take an expensive tower to bring the truck to a shop. Good job as usual but it was weary scaring to see the rigid wrench go in peaces in that way. Hope you get credit from Rigid for that. And a pipe for your jack would be great! Looking forward for next video have a good day!
Warren, when you've got a stubborn pipe fitting like that, don't bother heating it, just lay the pipe on the ground and take a sledge hammer and give the fitting a good beating, then put it in the vise and it will screw right off. Believe me it works.
My father who used to work on farm trucks in South America told me about front ends all wrapped with fence wire to keep the front end together to drive it into town and the shop. Problem was that it took a long time to get all that wire back off.
Dang i did the same thing with my rigid 36 a couple years back it broke in the exact same place while i was spinning some old 2 inch ball valves off some steel gas lines. I got hold of Rigid and had a new one mailed to me within two weeks but i did have my trusty old steel ones in the van to get me finished ... bastards are heavy but they dont break lol glad you didnt get hurt i smashed mine down into my shoulder pulling on it got a nasty bruise.
Had one like that years ago. Cut the head off of a bolt and welded it to the tie rod end ball. Drilled an oversized hole in the female side and put a nut and washer on loosely to hold it together. Truck made it into the barn.....
when i worked in the oilfields we used to change grease color every month to make sure the equip. was getting greased regular like. but apparently no one is greasing anything on that farm. on another note Hippy Camp is a no fly zone for me it's the land time forgot. the last time i was there i was delivering a tractor and heard "dueling Banjos" playing the whole time. i think most people there are hiding out from someone or something it's a great place to carry a sidearm 24/7
The problem is that he does a lot of work in the communist state of California, they do not have reciprocity with Oregon on concealed handgun permits. IIRC, Siskiyou county is one of the few that will actually give out concealed handgun permits. In Commifornia it's illegal to travel with a loaded weapon in the vehicle, the weapon must be unloaded and put in the trunk or some inaccessible location, making it useless. On the other side of the border it's trivial to get a permit and open carry is allowed.
That happened on my truck so as a temp fix, I grabbed some wire to hold the ball in the socket. The wire has enough give in it to allow the wheel to turn. It works fine for moving it around
I have wire wrap a lot of tie rods up together to get them off the road. Would not recommend driving long distance or 50 mile an hour but works in a pinch to get them off the road way ;-)
Hey You could go to the dollar store and by a clear mustard bottle, put your impact lube in it. On a side note, hope you didn't hurt your back when the wrench broke.🤔
working in logging camps all my life i have welded many tie rods up to get them out of the bush and back to the main shop at camp, do be repaired, i weld a 1/8th round bat ro the base of the tie rod and wrap it tight around to hold the ball in, this allows the ball to turn but holds in in its socket, then the truck can be driven 50 to 70 miles back to camp even with a 50 foot loaded pulp trailer, problem was many times they sent the truck to the spur, (rail road siding) to get unloaded, and back to the bush for another load, well they waited for the weekly supply truck to bring parts up..
They sell sockets for changing tie rod ends that you can use a 3/4 impact on,Lucky for me when I used to get road calls like that I would tow them back with the 45ton wrecker
Get ready for summer warren....in Redding it's already gotten to 98...hope it dont get that hot up there but I'm sure it dose...cosco has crates of bottled water 40 for 10 bucks go stock up buddy...thanks for your effort
Very fascinating video, "mano"! It seems that it leaves my Brazil and I went on an adventure somewhere beautiful in this world, in my workshop truck, for a day. thank you! You've earned a like and a new subscriber on your channel.
20:30 That tag you couldn't read...Get out your mobile/cell phone and use the camera, take a few zoomed pics, one of them should be readable. I've used this trick on circuit boards before.
I'm waiting on the pump for the D8k . We bought it from Ams construction, I have called 3 different people after the order was placed on Monday to give me some tracking information, not one of them has called me back. This is my last purchase from them. I have no Idea where it is. The back hoe transmission is mostly back together, still waiting on a few parts on it too.
"don't grease anything" Can't tell you how much I love folks that don't grease things. Job security. I have an Akbash dog livestock guard dog. Would be great for watching out for bear but the idiot want to run off all the time. Can't take him anywhere. I like to take a picture of the tag and vin with my phone and you can expand the picture and decipher what the tag says.
so why do u not like never-seize? is it not as good as yrs ago? clear back to the late 70's at the coal companies i worked at, the mechanics used it -when we tore anything apart on the dozer or loader i was running back then. even when i owned my own tractor and trailer, if a bolt or nut came off, the never -seize bottle was the first thing i grabbed to reinstall it. i loved it-except for it getting on me. lol great video. thanks
Everything's hungry at this job site. Love watching you and listening while you get 'r'done.
Your customers are lucky to have you!
Boy Warren, This tie rod job really seemed to have eaten your lunch. But the cows will be happy. And another great video. Thanks

Protect your knees! That’s the one thing I should have looked after more than anything.
Glad you weren't hurt after seeing that pipe wrench let go. You definitely work hard and earn everything cent for your labors.

As if rusty threads and broken tools aren't enough, you have to bear!! Well done Warren, as usual tough yakka.
watching this wonderful video in the middle of outback Norway. Have fun out there!
Thank you for sharing. I know it’s added work for you but the videos are great. That was a beautiful area you were in.
With those two dogs you got nothing to worry about fella. They got your back.
They don't sell ridgid pipe wrenches.
The fact that your a heavy duty mechanic makes you pretty cool. The fact your a dog lover makes you EPIC!!
Keep a 3' length of pipe that fits over the handles on the pipe wrenches for that extra leverage
I love that you take your Pit Bulls to work with you! We have one too.
It’s amazing how our thinking decreases, the more tired we become,,being efficient hauls ass.! The dogs were as keyed up as you were 🐕👍
I am glad that you always appreciate the beautiful surrounding that you live and work in everyday.

Iam surprised you didn't use some heat on that sleeve, helps them old rusty critters! Great video!
Like I used to say to customers, Grease is cheap, we are not. But he definitely got his money’s worth out of that tire rod end

If the last guy had used anti-seize you wouldn't have had such a hard time and still have your $175.00 pipe wrench.
Glad I found this channel. I did much heavy equipment while serving in the Airforce overseas in the 60s.

are you even considered a mechanic if you don't cuss at what your working on hahaha love your videos man doing a hell of a great job
Thanks for cheering up my week with a new video. 👌
Wrap a small choker around handle of tool and use crane to help break free, saves the back, love the videos.
We have critters here that will hustle your bustle. It makes mechanic work out doors way more exciting.

If I remember right; a dawn dawn dish soap cap will thread onto an oil bottle and give you a bit more precise applicator tip.
holy shit.....
Good stuff man. Makes me feel better wrenching on my relatively small equipment here on the farm in KY.
Determination always wins out. Good job
Another great vid Warren. I'm glad you told the dogs to watch your back! They so often don't earn their keep do they?!

Hey Warren : Stop by the Vet and get a used syringe to put the Air tool oil in . No waste !
I think you need a case of PB Blaster penetrating oil
Both work quite well for different situations, but I do lean for pb blaster so i have a good stream to help clean things off as well
