A Typical Service Call For A Heavy Duty Mechanic - Final Drive Repair On A Forestry Machine

One of Cam's typical days as a heavy duty mechanic. He drives to the jobsites, works on machines, and does it all again the next day. But not every job is the same and as a heavy duty mechanic Cam needs to adapt to get each job done and to get the customer's machine back up and running.

When I watch your videos, a German saying comes to mind: "You don't have to be crazy to do this job... But it helps!"😉😂

finally a mechanic that speaks in actual BC mechanic dialect on their youtube

[@barratheworld2064]

Please keep these style videos coming, I love how natural they are & how honest you are as a mechanic out in the field 😂

[@tomyousch7070]

Great to see a man that knows where air tools are superior.

[@TekamoHD]

air is there

[@brapbrapmafucka]

Electric tools suck

[@dougpersell8776]

There are several things that make air tools better. Its hard to take a battery impact on a job that is dirty .

[@cherokeelittle4582]

I'll have to say the cordless grease gun will always be better than air. Everything else I could go either way on.

[@benjaminrich9396]

"Look I'm David Bowie", as he rotates two ball bearings in his hand like Bowie does in Labyrinth. Comedy genius. 😂

Hahaha yeah Cam is jokes

THANKS JOSH FOR KEEPING ALL THIS TOGETHER

[@artzi_ip]

Thanks Josh !!! and thanks Cam for being such a nice and polite HD mechanic waiting for the next episode !!!!!

Josh is the MAN!!! More episodes being worked on!

[@chriskirkemo2522]

I’m convinced that Cam is effectively Canada in human form. Let’s go.

[@TekamoHD]

yes

Commenting for the first time on these videos just to THANK JOSH!!! Truly the man

What happened to our favorite apprentice I missed you yelling"CARSON!!!!" Every 30 seconds

[@murdercom998]

I grew up in Gibsons, love that little town but I moved up north for cheap homes and great jobs. Logging and the pulpmill are basicly the only industries

[@RANhxcCORE]

THANKS JOSH! everytime ive sent my wife to get parts she comes back with the wrong stuff, so good job!

[@TekamoHD]

hahaha josh is the man

[@coryhiatt9152]

One thing I like to do when I’m working on the hoses under the turret is take a narrow track whole bucket and dig about a 3 foot deep trench and pull the machine over the top so you’re not having to crawl around on your back. It is awesome for access and keeps you from rolling in the mud. Safety guru’s will cry about it, but it takes 2 minutes and makes getting under so much easier!

[@coreymills5625]

Jesus, you ain’t lying about a challenge, doesn’t look like this thing was ever serviced or even been worked on. Look how pointed the damn sprocket segments are lmao! Wow

[@1waukesha]

Oh man, this is the shiz nit for content! Very awesome, Im so jealous of that “office”, so cool to have to take a ferry out to work. Today I was out to a 583 side boom, one of the fan blades came out of the hub, and completely annihilated everything! Busted the fan Hub support off the front cover of the engine, which broke the mounting bosses right off the front cover, then the whole works fell into the radiator and smashed it to smithereens. So I had to go out and get it somewhat able to run enough to be able to rig it out, get the boom off and pull the counterweights off of it so we can haul it home. Then the Zoom boom got stuck since it poured like 2” of rain in the last couple days. Lmao. Good times! Anyway thanks for the awesome video

[@TekamoHD]

Hahaha how fun. Glad you liked the video bro. Always nice to see you in the comments

[@ChristianDummitt]

Cam is one of those mechanics that would never get old to work with! Shout out to you, I've done this very job before..what a treat!

[@TekamoHD]

cam's the man. Thanks for watching!

[@FLYWHEELPRIME]

"has to come apart eventually right" Well, some of my experience working on rust belt equipment says "no, actually not" 🤣

[@Rubeeeee154]

How hasn’t this channel blown up yet 🔥🔥😂

Haha thanks buddy. Share our videos and keep the comments comin, it helps get the word out

[@aresautomotive]

Love the shit talk on parts guys😂 Worked the parts counter at a truck shop for two years any only got crap from the techs. New favorite channel for sure!

For crying out loud! Thanks, Josh!

I love that I’ve rebuilt a d39 Final and smelled the oil and made that exact same face

Wow, thank you! 🫡

[@Codeeez]

Finally.. a mechanic on youtube i can trust

[@badzioch64]

Nice to see a Cam work video! Put a tarp down, clean dirt then pull tarp out with dirt on it.

[@pimpmyrustbucket]

The Milwaukees are super powerful BUT you have to have a fully charged high output battery. Best way is to mix air and electric as it suits you.

[@bentone23]

Way back when I was younger, I did what you do. I don’t miss those muddy, hydraulic fluid soaked coveralls. In 2000, my son was born and in ICU. I had to scrub my hands to be able to see him. It took 3 days of scrubbing each time I arrived to get all the grunge from under the fingernails. I am 59 now and sure don’t miss working on heavy equipment! Electronic technician is much cleaner and pays well now.

[@KhusheKenworth]

What you think of generator mechanic as a career?

[@aufklarungfahnestock3584]

Nice bring back the air tools! I remember him saying he was done with batteries

[@TekamoHD]

hell yeah

When you returned to the job site I was thinking.. 5 hour drive that would suck if you forgot the hoses and seconds later you said you did. Lol. Thanks to josh for the solid.

Cam got himself a new fancy pants service truck

[@TekamoHD]

yeah, new truck tour will be worked on soon

[@HDMRice]

What in the world. I’ve never witnessed a dude just moving the track off of the sprocket. I’m in the midst of a duo cone, which turned into replacing the spindle and hub. I split the tracks like some kinda Neanderthal.

We need more and longer videos with Cam! Just found this channel the other day and am instantly hooked! As a career equipment mechanic myself and well it’s my hobby too I 1000% relate with Cam! He has the same attitude and acts just how I or coworkers in this industry do. Plus he seems to be a natural in front of the camera! So I hope to see more and longer service call/repair videos in the future as I will definitely be following along!

[@TekamoHD]

Oh lots more Service Call is coming out and lots already out. Glad you found us and you enjoy the episodes. Welcome to the community!

Really appreciate it man! Lots more episodes of Service Call and truck tours being worked on

[@alexmackenzie3544]

With the Duo-Cone if you don’t have the specific tool. I use a piece of SOS (sample tubing) tubing, it’s the like exact thickness. Wrap it around the gap between the back of the duo and the toric ring. Acts as a spacer and then just push it in. I think it’s easier than the specific tool to be fair.
