Emergency clutch replacement!

Replacing a clutch on John deere stationary engine that irrigates a strawberry field.

[@aj44ish]

This is what you call an old school mechanic. Not the parts changers what passes for mechanics these days. Keep up the great work Warren.

[@noseeum6385]

What an enjoyable episode containing so much content of interest. First, I got my weekly dose of scenery from your area with the hills in the background. What a backdrop for your workspace! Always impressed with the diligence you exercise with customers equipment in making sure you " do no harm" during your efforts to correct the problems they seek to have fixed. Then your characteristic meticulous work ethic in spotting other potential discrepancies that may need attention to improve efficiency for their operation, and last but certainly not least, the excellent explanations you gave this time describing all the components and the respective roles they play in getting water out of the ground and into the fields. Every time I watch one of your offerings it adds to my knowledge base and increases my admiration of your craft. Thank you for both of those gifts.

[@dont9098]

Wow i never thought to use impact gun to tap pulley off like that !! Great idea. Love the channel, just trying to work my way through your old videos, Awesome content keep up the good work Warren Cheers from Tasmania

[@badmonkey3669]

Best thing I discovered years ago was I bought long bolts the same thread and diameter as I needed for Transmission bolts and cut the heads off and thread 2 in on a engine and then you can slide a transmission right onto them bolts like guide pins then get a couple of the bolts in then unscrew your home made guide pins works like a charm every time especially when working by yourself and like you do out in the field

[@lathamarea1437]

Your knowledge always amazes me...With a few easy repairs a lot water wouldn’t be foolishly wasted..

[@alistairfoster8386]

worked for Cummins in the uk but never saw one of these fuel systems stripped, I know they were not the best thing Cummins produced, I am retired now but cant resist engineering videos. have my own machine shop and still tinker.

[@mnmarlin6074]

I agree, brag all you want, amazing the stuff you fix. From heavy duty stuff that you have to use the lift on the truck to move around to small stuff like this. We need more guys like you!

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thank you for your compliment.

[@user-ie8st5qr3y]

Mr Warren, You are a very talented man. Thanks for the variety of videos.

[@jlucasound]

I am so glad I watched in order. I am fascinated by what you are working on (the pump) and at the same time following your talking about the D7. I can watch and listen for hours. Now, I have to wait until you nail down the D7 "mystery". That is OK. I am conditioned for that by early training. Watching "Dukes of Hazard", "Movin' On", etc. See you at the same Bat time, same Bat channel. Time to go to bed boys! Awwww!!

[@fredflintstone8048]

Brag all you want. You have a great channel. I enjoy it immensely. I appreciate the extra effort you put in to make the videos.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thank you

[@robertstibz9506]

I agree 100%

[@stevetrachsel8690]

Love your channel! Great mechanic with high integrity! You’re a gem.

[@bubbie3533]

Warren that window is so dirty. 😂😂😂 You got the dogs with you today. 🐾

[@jonyknoxvil]

Oh man. This brings back many memories. I've done this exact job many times on deep well pump setups. They gotta adjust those clutches every service or they'll slip and burn out. Good job man

[@ryankovaly3927]

Your channel is my favorite mechanics channel. I’m in the hd truck repair business so seeing the ag side and the miscellaneous stuff is always a great time!!!

[@amishmilitant4618]

We had a couple of vegetable farmers that we worked on their equipment. They each had pumping stations that were run by old V8 Ford flatheads. I still have the valve adjustment tools, left and right.

[@sandy1653]

The variety on your channel is one of my favorite things about it, get to see and learn so much, even as a home gamer shade tree mechanic. All the citrus groves down here in FL have the same sort of pumps. Come winter time they're important for frost protection.

[@kasenthiago7769]

You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@kasenthiago7769]

@Aryan Tadeo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@kasenthiago7769]

@Aryan Tadeo It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@aryantadeo9698]

@Kasen Thiago happy to help =)

[@No1Bigbear]

Another great video from a mechanic who actually has knowledge and integrity!

[@Ham68229]

LOL got a good laugh out of that statement : they got an "ut oh". Was thinking that's pretty obvious with a new clutch in the back of the truck, until you said there's a "po-po". This is why you do have one of the best channels, the variety and always learning something new. Cheers :)

[@grahammoore6386]

Interesting stuff Warren. Your channel is awesome and thanks for making the effort to share it with us.

[@briandemas2548]

This is the best repair channel I've seen!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Always love that you know the what and why!! And you explain it! The variety is also great! As a farmer/mechanic/half-assed machinest and a fabricator, I always like to see you work!! If you haven't done it, you will😎

[@exploringpeco]

Now this is why I watch cause you never know what ur going too be working on so thanks for the videos and variety!!!!

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Hi Warren, great video thanks for sharing. The variety is the spice of life. It all is interesting and educational. Keep up the great work. I've learned a tremendous amount from you and your videos.

[@stevenberard2304]

I love this channel and watch it as much as I can. The only thing that would make it better (in my opinion) is showing a job from start to finish. Sometimes I'm really into watching a repair and then the video ends. I keep coming back so I guess it works. Keep up the hard work

[@joeclarke9782]

Variety is the spice of life. That's this channel.I can't imagine equipment like that left out in the open unmolested in southern California. It would have long been harvested.

[@cscott839]

You all ways amaze me Warren, be safe my friend.

[@henryrudolph1952]

Hi from New Zealand, LOVE IT WHEN HE GOES ON THE ROAD. One gets to see the American countryside in the winter and summer as a bonus. Excellent viewing!! A big "Hi Duke and Daisy!" Thank you for sharing your profession and country with the world😊👍

[@giggiddy]

I know you weren't speaking to me but thank you so much for pointing out the beauty in our country. Our country is going through a very difficult and ugly time right now. But your kind words really made me pause to think about simple things and beauty we often take for granted. Be well and thank you. Dan

[@ronhart4166]

Warren I had the same thing happen with the rubber gloves wrapping up on the extension . Scared the vinegar out of me the first time !! I solved it by grabbing the extension with a rag. So as long as the rag doesn't hang up on something. You should be good 😂

[@melcoats9696]

Just found your channel. So damn interesting! Too old now, but would have loved to be your apprentice. Love this field work.

[@coffee8866]

How funny, a clutch replacement is what I need to do with my truck. Plan to do it myself when the parts come in from rockauto. Maybe I should record how glorious I'll prob fail at this for several hours. lol.... Great video!!!! Look forward to the next, and that's the cleanest windshield I've ever seen.

[@olspanner]

Have the same problem with my windsreen Warren, must be catchin'. You certainly never fail to surprise me what you work on young man. I was off the spanners long before the ECU's arrived , thank God! But the fastest tool I had in my day was a speed wrench. Amazed at the variety of battery powered tools available nowadays, makes life easier and faster.

[@noelhohberger1188]

That's one damn contraption. Fun stuff. Keep trucking Warren!

[@jlucasound]

Thank You. I knew nothing about these pumps. Now I do. Interesting and new (to me).

[@tomeyssen9674]

Thanks for this nice video. Beautiful scenery (N. California?). Now I can look forward to having some beautiful CA strawberries here in TN...🙂. Thanks for the update on the D7....interesting. the buck wasn't bad either...😊. Thanks-Tom

[@dalesmth1]

I did work like this in Austin Tx, and loved every minute of it.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Twin Disc is the company name. They are out of Racine Wisconsin. We had them on the American Hoist 7220s. There was probably a lot of adjustment left. I've seen thinner friction plates. All that was really needed was new friction plates but now they can have a complete spare.

[@MyLonewolf25]

Tired old mechanic neat to see how much the home town gets around Wouldn’t be surprised to see that engine using a modine radiator either

[@robj2704]

Well, they called you to fix the clutch. I guess they got their own way of doing things, so, job done.

[@matthewanderson7766]

your dogs must love going with you on jobs like that so much room to walk around and explore great job

[@flyboy6876]

great video Warren love watching you, and all the verity you offer, very educational and I have done a lot of different projects

[@DaveG7920]

Love the variety and skill on your channel Great to see the channel really taking off with views and subscribers recently. G day from New Zealand.

[@boomer_bob6493]

I sure don't miss that job, or any job on irrigation pumps for that matter. Especially in the middle of the night or centre pivot irrigator drive shafts breaking or gear boxes letting go. The joys of being an on call mechanic on a 60,000 acre property, thankfully retired now.

[@billdornan4379]

Just found this video…looking foreward to it! Thanks Warren,kindest regards 🇨🇦

[@ynotphillip]

Surface and well pumps taught me a lot. They’ll turn you into a jack of all trades quick

[@davidhaley7053]

Yes you have very good variety. Can't believe there isn't a cover over that engine.

[@jayg479]

Living in shastina watching a video made in shastina. Far better than tv. Thanks for the upload.

[@jgvgjv2980]

Love the different areas you work and seeing Duke and Daisy, great tonic

[@markreetz1001]

I also really like how you explain what you're working on does and how it's part of the bigger system. You could have left off at fixing the clutch, you explained the pump, the well, the different fittings AND some of the mistakes that are made because of lack of knowledge.

[@stevekastner2825]

I like your videos man. Your a hard worker supporting your family 👍 as far as I’m concerned your a first responder ⛑

[@esmon5358]

I enjoy the cat videos! I like learning more about them makes me want to buy one

[@Alex-uy7pc]

Just did one if these, on this one it hadn't been adjusted in a "few years" haha. Was on a chipper, the guy said it engages super easy (actually complained about how hard the new one was to engage, lol maybe I should get him a longer lever) Anyway, it got slipped, got hot, slipped more, then let go.

[@mitchs323]

I haven't seen one of those segmented clutch discs in about 20 years. Used to have to change them quite regularly on the two Galion rollers we had at that time.

[@suzylarry1]

this is a great channel, as for the pump, all you can do now is suggest to the owner and hope they hear your view of issues .

[@ggem8125]

Interesting stuff we here so much about the water politics out west nice to see where the rubber meets the road. It is not only your mechanical wizardry that keeps me watching but your insight on how the farming business works. When you think what your doing is boring like fighting up some bolts just keep going on about your insights on farming. Cheers from Reading PA.

[@dustinlowry9075]

Great video Warren your a hard working son of a gun my HAT is off to you. Thanks for the video

[@Gordonseries385]

Has a nice sound to it and working out in the open looks nice over their Like always enjoy watching your videos you and the guys take care

[@carterbeach2532]

[@timshelton4041]

At least you didn't have to do your usual contortionist act to change the clutch on this job Warren!

One of the guys I used to work w kept a sharpie in the truck, usually up on the dash, for leaving notes to himself. Would write on the inside of the windshield.

[@arthurpage3175]

Emergency clutch replacement. I expected a new clutch plate and pressure plate like a car not a complete new housing. I did wonder why you got the air hammer out to remove the drive flange until the new one came into shot. Very interesting cheers.

[@danofort]

This really is the coolest channel.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

I love it, to hell with the commies.

[@trevormansfield6740]

Really good video Warren. I learned a lot.

[@nozmoking1]

Blow your own horn all you want Warren. You absorb new skills like a sponge. What I admire most is that you know where to go when you need information but you learn best by "doing", not by diddling textbooks. On jobs where most people need three men, two boys and a priest all you need is a handful of tools and a boom crane (and a dog or two).

[@joshuafarmer7203]

Your a very good mechanic clean and very detailed oriented surprise you don’t have a lot more followers i subscribe hell of a hard worker did a few years of the same field it will wear your body out fast you should do a little story of how you got where you are and how you learned so much in so many fields most of us born mechanics come from a long line of mechanics and and a natural ability great job love the channel stay safe bud

[@davidworsley7969]

Great as always-How do you keep up to date on new machines ?-I can't see you having time to go on courses and suchlike.

[@grumpyg9350]

That was a blast to watch!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GMC6969]

Changed lots of those on pump jacks. rebuilt hundreds of them.. adjust those old ones and go with it.. small little one is nice. try a 24 inch triple disk.

[@markreetz1001]

The small leak is so they know the water is running...just sayin'. Very interesting view of another side of your work. I've said it before, the variety of your repairs is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@nzcyclone]

Ya didnt show it but I assume you remembered to turn off the shaft oil drip feed ?? hehe Interesting setup has there a pity about all the leaks in the system. Another great video thanks for sharing with us all. Hoping you and family are all safe and well :)

[@robertstibz9506]

On the D7 subject, can't remember if it was a D4 or D6 now (back ii the early 1990s), with the high rear sprocket. anyway it developed a problem, which made it feel like you where pushing a load, slowed you down moving even when just traveling, all was ok until things got warmed up. then it would happen. Eventually they got the dealer out to look at it, they found the torque converter was filling with oil when it got warn and the scavenge pump could not keep up. Well when they took it apart, they found a crack in the converter that opened up when it got hot.. took then a while to find out what was happening. Wonder how much the countryside has changed in the last 200yrs round there ?

[@wolgonautomotive4343]

Someone needs to give you some of those new Ratchet box wrenches. They are a Miracle for me working on trucks.

[@youaregettingliedtoo8912]

this is another reason i like your channel

[@Mtbslacker]

Sounds like you're on the right track as far as the D7. I've never heard of a torque converter regulator valve... I was wondering if you meant the inlet relief valve which keeps it from blowing up when the oil is cold. The one that used to get me is when someone would rebuild a torque converter and put the outlet relief valve in backwards.

[@brucethec8150]

So cool to see all the different equipment.

[@brianrutherford3229]

That was cool to see the pump setup for irrigation

[@jth1699]

Hi guy - old retired power generation field service tech here... you need to invest in a couple of those Milwaukee battery powered ratchets - save lots of time with them...

A suggestion: Get a magnet base with a goose neck for your camera. Most everything you work on is steel. Use the tripod when you have room on the ground, the magnet when you are recording in the machines.

Carry Windex a squeegie and a roll of shop towels. I do my windows before I start off. Down here you don't know the crap that will be on your windows so it helps to be able to clean them.

Real power is knowledge and this montage from WTr&TRpr has a following because we're being shown DIY , which is my kind off channels to watch someone showing you how and why situations.... And more should tune in because this is becoming a rare opportunity to learn DIY , that's how you pick it up by watching that's how I learned or just opened it up and reverse engineering and vice, versa....how you take it apart and how you put it back together that's part of it and diagnosing problems.....THIS CHANNEL SHOWS AND INFORMS YOU HOW, WHY ETC....THANKS WT&TRp.
