Fixing the hitch on a 6170r

Putting the rockshaft back together on a 6170r, that previously seized up due to rust and lack of grease.

[@69jbr69]

Nice work. Always amazes me how people can make a $5 tube of grease cost a couple grand by not using it.

[@jesseburns9734]

Thank you for your service in the Navy on this Memorial Day weekend!

[@wesreeder6721]

Warren. You are one heck of a mechanic. You remind me of my dad. That's were I learned it. I got the C.R.S to. Can't remember sh-- syndrome. Take care and be safe.

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Thanks for sharing Warren always good 👍🇦🇺

[@michaeldavid2320]

Oscar ain't afraid of hard work, he can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

[@MrCrabbing]

Oscar is a little star, great job on the hitch by the way

[@bearbait2221]

In Alaska we use ultrablack silicone on splines insted of anti-seize it takes up slack and keeps dirt out and it is ez to takeapart again. try it you wont use antiseize again on splines. bush trix from AK

[@rickytart1028]

Another good video Warren...Thanks.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

You were in the Navy? I was as well.Eventual MM1 1981 to 1989. Good chance we pissed in some of the same oceans lol. Anti-seize: best thing since sliced bread.

[@johnnyholland8765]

Man what a job. Are those teflon pieces part of the bearing surface or just a carrier for the grease? Think you need to strap ol Oscar up and move him out of the way with the crane.........Happy Memorial day and thank you for your service.

[@corbastang84]

Man I just love Oscar. I have a dachshund as well there great dogs.

[@lawrencewillard6370]

Oh Yeah, Thanks for being a bubblehead from bangor. I flew back in Vietnam.

[@johnmorgan4017]

Good stuff to know. Hopefully this isn’t my next project on mine.

[@curtcoker6359]

Reminds me of prom night

[@bytefix2603]

Haha your accented quips are becoming a standard in your vids, what accent is warren going to do next? haha

[@geesss8675]

You are very skilled with a hammer. I think it helps you have large thumbs. Speaking of thumbs. I have 1996 f250 2wd with 5.8l that needs a clutch. Can you recommend a brand from your experience? I was looking at rock auto and I do not wanna use "EeeNeee Meanie" to choose a clutch. Keep up the excellent videos Warren

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Go with a Valeo clutch and you'll be fine.

[@geesss8675]

@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 thanks bud. . . I appears Rock does not sell that brand clutch but I will order from someone else. Have a safe a Memoial Day!

[@badmonkey3669]

The washers was supposed to go under the bracket on the back 2 long bolts just keeping it real lol but nice work

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Nice fix! A a lot of crap to dismantle to rebuild...

[@z3k3y2011]

i really like your wilton vise lol

[@SFtruckerWolf]

Oscar is cool, just sleeping whatever happens.

[@sonicbluecoupe]

Your preference for #2 grease?

[@Sergio09354]

HI, i see you take a while to post videos can you do more videos and more often? keep up the good work!

[@johnlim123]

Did miss the video of taking apart this thing and problem symptoms?

[@brydendockendorff7835]

Can you do a video on how you started your business!

[@guillermopena6355]

Enjoy the video but you didn't show the adjustments for up and down, I have problems with my 4055 is to slowly going up, thanks for shear

[@mattygee5000]

I've watched a bunch of your vids and seems like much of your work is driven by lack of maintenance.

[@Agavarc]

How reliable are these plastic sleeves, when maintain properly?

[@derredriver]

i wouldnt be blaming the operator for that damage surely the nursery mechanic has to carry the can if he,s doing 250 hour oil and filter changes it should be part of the service routine to grease the entire tractor.

[@benivey9085]

Do you prefer the silver or copper antiseze?

[@timskiff9422]

Have you ever used Lubriplate grease?

[@farwest571]

Are you from maine?

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

I never understood why they call that component a rock shaft? Does anyone know? Usually it's obvious why something has a name called such and such piece. But I've been around tractors a fare bit, but never understood why that was called a rock shaft.

You need some economical help sometimes.

[@nicke1903]

Is that the same one that got the Engine at 2800hrs?

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

No, the 1 wire video was the one.

[@nicke1903]

Haha ok,I'm watchin the rebuild with the Cracked Piston 6170r,I can't imagine the owner was much thrilled with it at low hrs,it great watching you tear into stuff,I envy Mechanics,hell I just can't do it on that level,period lol

[@rustblade5021]

it kind of blows my mind how many times you've dealt with this specific issue before i can understand zerks getting missed. but not greasing the rockshaft *ever*? it's a key component and you don't have to be an expert to know that... i grease mine and i don't even use it

[@bradjenkins932]

lt seems like John deere has a lot of hitch problems.

[@suzylarry1]

you could have got a pillow for that poor lazy dog,she would not even move for you , tough on animals. Nice work, I seen a video just prior of you working in the field yard and you were jumping up and down to get this Rock bar to move, now , slick as shit

[@donald1056]

Where's your gloves anyway

You sure run across alot of poor maintenance problems , guess that your bread and butter lol
