Love the new word for merch, Brandfill.
He didnt fix a single bush
🤣
Literally. Frickin clickbait
Love that
that’s on a different website
thats what he said....
Dude the intro to this is literally EVERY heavy mech guy in the woods. Its like they don’t know they are on the spectrum.
the 'tism is just another tool for us. Who needs alldata and mitchell1 when you saved all the manuals to memory and heart?
@@saluki417 tru dat
I do mobile repair on buses, school buses and crew transports for industrial use... most are like this at work... A lot of the buses we work on are short buses. The jokes practically write themselves...
@@BlPlN I wanna be clear, I wasn’t being demeaning, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to fix me up out in the backcountry!
Another great addition to the crew ...You need to have him with Cam and Tyler
we love ya terry
@@TekamoHD how about putting some quality work gloves on the Fortis site
what type of work gloves do you like Terry?
@@TekamoHD just a good quality mechanics glove. Something that can take abuse from diesel fuel and DEF fluid ,but is of breathable material . I usually wear Grease Monkey brand gloves , but they don't breathe well in the heat for areas like where I work in South Carolina. We hit at least high 90's with 100% humidity in the summer months
@@Terry_Baker where you from in sc I’m up here in Greenville
By far the best guy you’ve had on the channel, a real salt of the sack type.
Wrong. He is trying too hard
@@Nick-ih5em found the pretender
He’s trying to hard to be like you😅
I really appreciate that when things don't go quite right, that content is left in. Mechanics are problem solvers!
This guys humor is just like mine when I get bored😂
This channel is what made me want to be a hd mechanic
Go for it soggy
Yeah same but I don’t know how to get into it
@@tuneunleashed I don’t really either, but my school offers a class where you go work in a ag mechanic shop for the afternoon
Go find a service truck somewhere and ask the guy
@@tuneunleashed your local tech school has a diesel mechanic program. If not start in automotive and work your way to trucks.
This guy is funnier than a sack of crickets. Love your comments.
Can we see a "Day in the life of a Vermeer mechanic" to see why it takes 3-6 weeks to fix.
As a vermeer field tech I too would like to know where the flip my parts are😂
@@lor1297Damaged and sent back by the shipper.
@@lor1297Iowa 😂
Theres gotta be something in the water there at Tekamo….😂 Every one of you guys are full of it!! Keep it up guys Much ❤️!!
Hahahaha we appreciate you boss 🫡
Its the dude from the Truck tour!
Seeing these reminds me of my dad! He’s a heavy duty mechanic😊
that torque multiplier air gun is so badass
The forbidden track shovel i bet some operators haven’t seen that in years😂😂😂
Couldn’t agree more on packing a lot of water out there while I’m not in Canada, I spend every one of my work days on a pipeline right of way in backwoods West Virginia. there’s nothing worse than being stuck on top of a ridge on a big job with a hour or more drive to anything and not having water!
He'd get along well with the millwrights in the mines for sure. Safety comes first right after production
Need to start doing like the pipelines do. Make you a little grill on the back of the truck. Start the coals and season the steak then work until she's ready to go. Takes 2-3min a side. Better than a granola bar any day
Love this guy, great mechanic! Great sense of humor too😂 🌲🚜🛠️
Literally the job that keeps you strong and fit,the amount of final drives I have removed,and completely repaired...
Love this channel , starting my new career in March 2025. Stoked , thanks for the awesome content!
Good luck it aint easy bro been at it for four years now lol
This show is gold
lol I'm honestly glad I found y'all through tiktok watching a video of tyler. look forward for these youtube video's more than ever
Love the job you are doing. To be able to improvise on the spot is a testament to a good field mechanic. Worked in field service many years with Finning. Thanks for the memories. The old school guy.
Guys were the hell find you guys all those legends of mechanics absolut awesome stuff cant wait to see more repair stuff👍👍
More videos coming!
@@TekamoHD thank you my respect to the you and all the mechanics on the show 👍👍
You'd be surprised how many are like this tbh. It's more of an issue with 1. Being comfortable on camera and your family being comfortable with that and 2. Alot of companies/properties won't let you film so guys that have reoccurring customers that they are on call for just aren't suited for the role.
This guy is awesome!!!! We need more of him on the channel!!! Can we get Tekamo HD hoodies please!!!!
Id like to see a tekamo fleshlight! Or a seal installer would be cool too! 😂
DANG bruh
Wow what a full day, much respect!
Need some more of this guy! Oh ya!!!!
Could watch this all day
Hey Gents! Coming from a guy from this world, I have made respect for you! If I could pivot through college I would! Keep up the work. Support or sticker pack is the best way to support blue collar guys!
Guy went through more emotions per minute than the average person for sure
Great video! Cant wait for moreee:)
woah this is crazy work.. hes got some nice tools!!!!
I love this man the most
I wanted to be a bush mechanic, but all the women I know shave nowadays. 😅
Funny Bloke had to sub after watching this 😂
I’d drive from Florida to Canada just for that view!
This guy is the real life Dale Doback, brilliant!
that scenery is insane.
Got his new covee’s on for the tv appearance 😂. More of this please!
We have a mobile mechanic division and our lead tech loves Tekamo. Super jealous of his truck and set up! Bought the track shovel he suggested!!!
i could watch him work for hours lol
Would like to see tumblers, maybe with a mueller collab
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO FUN TO WATCH
I love these videos it reminds me of being on site
TEKAMO T-Shirts or Tumblers would be sweet!
Would love to see some Tekamo coffee mugs or tumblers. Great content as always and it's so relatable having been a field tech for the last 8 years or so
i always yell at the operators when they don't clean there tack "THIS IS WHY MOM DOSENT FUC*IN LOVE YOU" LOL
This guy has been in the bush to long (i know the feeling) cheers from OZ.
love this guy haha get him on more
living the dream and getting it done!
Why did he cut the link like that instead of scarfing the bearing just curious
so he can do it again next year
Making custom O rings hell yeah! Been there, done that, got the t shirt!
👍👍👍👉🍺🍺🍺just gave me flashbacks of changing out a pin on our Cat skidder, salute to the Humble Mechanix 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
This guy could give Tyler a run for his money! We need Tekamo HD Carhartt hoodies
He could try but I doubt it. I’m way better looking
Love the video.
Any video this guy, or cam is in, is a good one!
This guy is hilarious
Coffee mugs or tumblers would be awesome!
Shout out for the Baofeng ham radio! The best ham radio ever made!
Don't believe me? Just ask anyone on the ham radio channels. 👍
We need to get Cam on here to react to this video That would be great
I’d actually like a tekamoHD visor calendar, the type with “gentleman’s club material” pictures for the months….the topless type. These are a staple of every crummy, log truck, and all my personal rigs. Usually bought by the dozen to hand out to friends…I reckon you’d sell a bunch!
This guy is crazy... I like him lol
This guy dosnt get out of the bush to often lol
great VIDYAS !!!!!!!!!!!!
King of the safety squints
We need warm TEKAMO hoodies!
I don’t care who you are but frame 7:52 is where you’re working and that’s your view, holy shit that’s amazing imo.
Only thing missing here is a smoke and some whisky after that day 😂
I think some Tekamo Carhartt hoddies would be mint
Tekamo sweatshirts!!
I ❤ this Sh@t.
It's like a Canadian Tool Time. GEE I wonder which one is Tim The TOOL Man 🤔😁.
Another great vid keep making awesome content guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for supporting us guys!
@@TekamoHD you’re welcome
That is a nice truck.
Should’ve added
Super cool video!
Spent lots of years doing field repairs
You learn to get creative
Such as making o-rings
Keep the Awesome videos coming fellas!!
havent seen you touch a bush this whole video
I can’t believe he torched the link to get the pin out and welded it. Your way better off piercing the remaining parts of the pin and hammering them out that way you don’t weaken the link dramatically.
It’s a fine repair. The pin is now welded to the link making them one piece. I’ve done that repair and I’ve never had the link break after
I want a Tekamo banner or a hoodie so I can have a reason to tell more of my buddies about Tekamo. Awesome vid as always bois.
Rad gun what a dream tool eh !!!
No more 4-1’s flippin all over
Nice seeing somebody that has the same career as me
Have never split a broken link like that. But that is a good idea, especially for a worn out POS anyway.👍 Good enough for what it is
To the videographer: Mac Tools and Dewalt are both owned by Stanley-Black and Decker. So Mac electric tools all use Dewalt batteries.
Good video
Tekamo coveralls would be sick!!
Great video! This guy fits right in, love it! I seriously think this is Cam's older brother. LOL They have a resemblance, and they're both crazy! Thanks guys. Stay safe.
Can we get a episode with him and Tyler are in the same place 😂😂😂😂
Surprisingly, you don’t do videos that are in Nova Scotia😂
First and last time watching. If intrusive thoughts had a physical form it would be this dude.
Aaamazing content. Love it
All the way from germany🔥🔥🔥☺️👍
Thank you 🙌
Keychain would be sweet for the ole rig fellas, nicely done as always :)
Tekamo Gloves would be awesome!
That's the first time I've seen the rails get slit with a torch, then welded back up. The rails look like they are living on borrowed time. Yeah, Tylor has a dick do its been a few years since he's seen it 😂 If people think the mechanics ham it up for the camera, nope, all HDs are the same. Cam is a little more civilized 🤣 I guess his previous career in aviation has something to do with that.
That’s the nicest thing anyone has said about me.
Woohoo hard work hard play
I was on the tools for CAT for many years and the bush or tundra is the best place to be !
Question on why cut and damage the link? Why not lance the pin with the torch use a quality C frame press?
This is a common way we have done it, sometimes when splitting I won’t cut into the pin that way I can reuse it and weld it back in place. Track presses are tens of thousands of dollars and maybe only really need it twice a year when we do new undercarriages. These field repairs haven’t failed us yet, KISS.💋
The press is one more big item to take up space on his truck.
Can we get a Fortis HD or TEKAMO HD tumbler/coffee cup please! Thatd be wicked sweet🤘
@TekamoHD9 does that mean I win something!!!! 🤘🏻🔧💯 TekamoHD9
Cmon I need stickers for my shovel that are tuff. Light tough butt more like duff. I like duff..
Bushes didn’t quite get fixed but still a great video
Don’t use you service cable get a longer chain. ⛓️💥.
Bear with me here but, Tyler with red bull wings on a t shirt !!!
