Dealership Couldn't Fix This $15,000 UTV So I FIXED It For CHEAP

[@0toeknee0]

I’m still wondering why this channel doesn’t have 5 million subscribers and tool sponsors coming out the woodwork.

[@YouriCarma]

Sometimes it's better to not go that route to keep it clean and honest. For me this is my, and that may sound weird, yoga moment. No funny music, no sponsor messages just the guy calmly doing his work and thinking out loud. Perfect 👍

[@Naasko595]

Some people don't want to be a sellout promoting products.

[@_chipchip]

Always impressed with your ability to just get this stuff done and fixed!

[@pr0pov]

Favorite youtuber for this ability. Consistency, passion and always ready for it! Keep pumping!

[@kirtnewton4108]

Call the Dealership and tell them $8500 and they can Sell it, Warranty your work for a year,50hrs,500 miles.Just on this One, and Tell them call you first on any future projects. You Know they are going to be impressed, We All are..Nice Job Buddy excellent Work. That is just like new.👍👍👍👌🍀

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

Why would he sell it back to the dealership? He could sell it himself and reap the profit himself! Dealerships make $ on new, not used!

[@JimParvin-o9e]

I think that you were born to be a grade A mechanical engineer. I learn more from your videos on how to than anybody agoing. Your patience is extraordinary and that's where the rubber meets the road! Can't help but to admire that quality! Keep on trucking, bro!

[@chrishampton555]

I started watching his videos for help on the Suzuki eiger. Now 4 months later I’m still watching his videos. They are great videos for help and for entertainment. Thanks Joe for all you do brother! I live in Arkansas and wish we had the snow like you do. Also I’m a Packers fan are you Joe? Keep them videos coming!

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnreed6891]

Dude I use to talk a lil smack about the way you do things but man I am impressed to death. You da man bro.

[@j.w.3345]

Seems like they tried to slingshot someone out of the mud and just ripped the hell out of it. Nice fix Joe! Always impressed with how you just jump in and get it done!

You and your family will prosper with the skills you have developed over the years. Well done young man. Love, health and respect from Steve in Scotland.

[@stephenlong5065]

Love to see you working in real time can't stand a lot of other channels fast forwarding everything. Great stuff !!

[@robertfloyd916]

That is one of the things I like also. The other is he shows the entire tear down and reinstall instead of saying that is on one of my other videos see if you can find that. Thank you

[@colt_3738]

Favorite KZbinr right here, doesn’t get any better then this 🔥

except for cleaning parts.

[@colt_3738]

Doesn’t matter It still doesn’t get any better.

[@gjack2008]

I don’t own any motorbikes, UTV’s, etc. I don’t even ride them. I don’t do any engine work nor have I ever. I can’t stop watching these videos. My wife thinks I’m insane. Thank you

[@williamrarick6272]

Nice video. Step by step is awesome, BUT I have my personal observation. You are installing the gasket for the cylinder to case and there "appears" to be gasket material remaining on the case (at 29:15 into video). Although a small amount of RTV will help seal the joint I am questioning why you didn't remove all of the remaining gasket material? Polishing that surface would make for the best surface for sealing. Also when you installed the cylinder head you opted not to check and adjust the valves. The engine is out of the unit and you are right there. Simple process and takes no time at all. You are, for all intents and purposes, probably okay not adjusting them, but for me it's peace of mind. Keep up the good work!

[@dougw2787]

Joe - You are adding true value to KZbin! I know I am appreciating the content and congrats on 500+ subscribers!

[@donscott6431]

If you have trouble assembling two case halves, I sometimes use thread-all in the thru-bolts of the case as guides. I use this trick to install heavy transmissions in cars. Really helps when you’re on your back under a car

[@commishg]

Congratulations on a repair that required a lot of skill and patience. It is a sign of our disposable society when dealerships wave the white flag on so many repair jobs and just dish them out the back door. But thanks to people like you, you fix them, return them to productive use, and make money doing it. And you are generously passing on your knowledge to countless others.

[@jasonbell7266]

The only Reason i watch KZbin, Cheers Joe ..... Keep up the great work mate 👍

[@Robmacdiesel]

I always look forward to Joe’s videos every week! From motorcycles to UTVs. This guy can fix anything. Wished I still lived in Wisconsin. Keep on crushing it!

[@scottdeeslcutusa8117]

Thanks for showing how the parts go. I am starting to take more pictures/ video of me taking things apart. So I can see the order parts go.

[@justincrafton6105]

It is so satisfying to watch an artist at work! Indeed, a good mechanic is an artist in their trade!

[@kflan3342]

I am amazed at someone's brain who really has the gift of mechanic'ing. So wish my brain worked that way :).

[@nathanbliss6788]

looka like a lot of backlash in that gear. does it need a shim to place it closer to the other gear??

[@2vintage]

Yes I put it together and realized that. I took it apart again and added a thin washer that was in the part diagram.

[@nathanbliss6788]

@ glad to hear it. I really like your videos, keep up the great work, from the UK. 👍

[@robertgonzalez8419]

What’s crazy to me is a lot of these dealer mechanics have gone to school and post to be really good working for the dealer for all these projects that the dealership can’t even fix and Joe here who is self-taught can put all of them in his pocket tells you a lot God is truly blessed Joes hands God bless you Joe be safe

[@rystdin]

Has nothing to do with that. But if a certified dealer has to spend 3-4 full work days fixing this case, at a rate of lets say 40 dollars per hour (most dealers charge almost 100 per hour) for 32 hours. Thats 1280 dollars let alone + parts cost. Plus All the time it takes up the mechanics time for making more money on different and easier tasked machines. It has nothing to do with the fact that they CANT fix it. Its just not worth a certified mechanics time... Time is money today. Replacing/swapping the engine with a used one would even be cheaper.. And even if they tore it apart they couldnt be sure the case wasnt bad, as Joe also said, he got lucky. Risk assessment is also not worth it.

[@jacobmay7594]

​@@rystdinand think how long it sat taking up space waiting on parts and time to do the fix. Dealers know when to cut their losses and move in to faster income streams. Much like you mentioned

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

It's great you have the knowledge to work on that stuff. Buying it cheep , repair it, then sell it and make a profit. . you could make a pretty good living doing that plus KZbin . I was making my channel grow repairing different things but a stroke took it away . Glad to see you have the knowledge to do it 👍

[@gregforster5913]

Greg from northern Michigan. Great job ! I estimate you had 25 hous of labor here. Nearby atv shops charge between 100 to 125 bucks an hour, plus shop supplies plus parts. Using the lower rate, $2500 labor plus $1000 parts plus $3000 purchase equals $6500 bucks. Used it might sell for $8000. Not much margin left for profit combined with unknown engine / transmission / rear diff issues and repair costs. Joe does great work here and shows how end users can get the job done for much less. ❤

[@imtonedeaf1]

KZbin profits is only way you can rebuilt these for profit

[@reggiexp69]

@@imtonedeaf1 yup cause u seem him often SPEND way to much on parts to fix something like that trx700 he has or had? or some others i forgot. but he makes the loss back in youtube revenue... cause im sure i have seen him buy parts and stuff that ends up eating any profit u can make on it... so even if in parts + buy price of the bike/quad he makes 0 profit he still has a hole video that probably makes him between 1000-4000$ a video on a good day? keep buying new toys sell older one u dont want and keep the video and things flowing new content etc dont stay to long on one toy. 2-3videos if its a bitch to fix.

I’m in my car listening to this before work and that exhaust sounds so cool on my sound system. Great job Joe. Glad you got another deal on a fixer-upper. Another win. Can’t wait to see all the other stuff waiting in the wings. Now let’s see if Penny likes it.Question still waiting for a chat session show I’m sure it would be awesome and the comment section would be flying by so fast. It would make your head spin. We’re all waiting to talk to you cause we gave you over half 1 million views. I’ll say it for everybody say hi to the wife.

[@musicmann555]

Man are you ever good at this!! your laugh/giggle is funny at times during the video is hilarious. Like a kid in the candy store lol

[@camazar1]

Great video! One question when dealing with a belt drive I’ve never heard you once say make sure you put the belt on the same direction you took it off!!! It’s very important as the fibres in the belt get worn in! If you put that belt on backwards, you could get delamination of the fibres and you will have belt failure imminently!

[@rayhart7501]

Nice work, young man.

[@roberthocking9138]

Nice job, it what about all the tiny metal flakes inside those roller bearing cages and oil galleries ?

[@2vintage]

All blown out with compressed air and brake cleaner and then re oiled.

[@Texas4x]

I'm guessing 1) he overloaded it like you guessed and 2) the lash in the bevel gears were never shimmed right, either factory or by a third party, and the resulting chattering caused the nut to loosen and back off making everything fail. Nicely done, Joe!

[@ste131131]

I was just about to comment on that lash. Needs shimming or it won't last long.

[@OnedayatATime4ever77]

Just wanted to say i really enjoy your videos. Very detailed. You show everything.

Thank You Joe for teaching everyone how to work on side by sides, dirt bikes, and 4 wheelers. Mostly, how to work on them wiouout throwing tools and acting like a fool when things dont go right. Keep being the Man God Uses Sir!!

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Hey Joe I don't know if this is a good idea but when I was a kid working on all this stuff we always had a container full of diesel fuel. It was a great parts washer, non-flammable, and doesn't leave naked parts unprotected.

[@owensbama1923]

Where do you guys get this idea that the onlyy way you can be a mechanic or know anything or critique anybody is if you yourself have a youtube channel. You do know that's not a requirement to be a mechanic. It's not the argument or the gotcha you think it is. It might be good enough for the 14 yr old fans that know nothing and think this is the height of mechanics. But its the reason they know nothing. They think youtube is gospel.

[@joelwatson3045]

Great job and good memory of how everything goes back. Hope you can get yourself a good parts cleaner soon. You would definitely get good use out of it.!

Nice work! I love to ambition to work on all these broken machines. Two things, you really should have changed the bearings in the engine since there was so much debris from the gears and nut. Also, if the bleeder for the water pump is on the bottom, the pump is upside down.

[@dlamay]

I watch every video and always learn something, I have never worked this stuff before, I always have had motorcycle's from a young age now I'm 70 and still riding. Wonder if there is a reason you don't use carb clean or brake cleaned to clean out the inside of the cases? seems like something like this where there is a lot metal shavings in it you would need to flush it out good?

[@andyhowe6140]

Your approach to the job in hand is truly inspiring another great one 👏👍

[@johnpysk]

Love watching your videos -they are never too long! (Except maybe the field testing sometimes 😄). Your diagnostic skills are amazing! Now, I am no mechanic, but I cringed when you cleaned the metal flakes out of the transmission casings; surely some of those metal flakes must have worked their way into all those bearings?

[@HereistheDeal]

Joe, Buy a parts washer. It urks me to see you disassemble and entire motor and put it back together with out cleaning the cases. i mean clean them and put some silver paint on them. I know you do great work, But Show it Off in Style...

Awesome, apart from the amount of work you put in, I'd say that $500 is a cheap fix considering how much you paid. I never doubted that you'd get it done. This is the one that gave you hell removing the clutch and flywheel if I remember, so just loads of time waiting for pullers lol. Your engine stand earned it's worth with that heavy load though. Great watching again.👌👍

"I fixed it for cheap"......."these parts were not cheap" 😕🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 But hey.... you got it done when the dealer said they couldn't! (Or what I'm guessing just didn't want to!)

Very nice detailed work! What would a repair such as this cost, including parts, incidentals, and your time in hours? Your time should have a rate and to include labour, shop costs, insurance, etc. It would undoubtedly be less than a dealer, and it would be nice to do a comparison to determine if it was a good decision or not for the dealer to sell it cheap and move on.
