You can’t talk at my apprentice like I do buddy. Lol that’s what a good journey does.

[@PanozGTR95]

Cam and Carsons dynamic is so damn funny! I finished my apprenticeship last year and still get the older guys talking smack, certainly gives you a reality check when you need it! Looking forward to more from these two!

[@TekamoHD]

More to come man! Where did you end up doing your apprenticeship?

[@PanozGTR95]

@@TekamoHD That's what I like to hear! Did my apprenticeship through the site I currently work on, maintaining and fixing offshore wind turbines here in the UK. Doesn't matter what it is, if it's mechanical I'll throw a wrench at it and enjoy doing it!

[@TekamoHD]

@@PanozGTR95 That's cool man. You think you'll ever go independent? Send us some photos of the turbines you work on! The guys would love to see it.

[@PinePassSledHead]

The best part is that even after your a journeyman everybody in the shop still talks shit lol, honestly the best part about working with tradesmen 👌

[@sebastienbolle5539]

I only wear a seatbelt while in the porta-john

Lmao!

Awesome video as usual guys. Can't wait for part 2 !!

Thanks Terry you the man. Extended version of this episode out tomorrow in the mean time

Great video proper field mechanic work and in the dark too

Thanks Jon. Be sure to watch tomorrow's extended version. Special shout out for you.

Yo Oz! How's the mines man?

You guys will be the reason I quit my Nurse Assistant Job to work the field and pack on some muscle lol

[@eerriikk1414]

Love these series!! Just swiched career from doing maintenance and repairs on aircraft towing machines, flying all over the world. To now be doing maintaince and repairs on excavator and other heavy machines in my hometown in Sweden. Starting in two weeks, can't wait.

[@TekamoHD]

Right on man! Glad you made the switch. Are you starting for a company or are you gonna be independent running your own truck?

[@eerriikk1414]

@@TekamoHD kind of both to be honest. The company that owns the equipment is starting their own shop so I will be their first and only mechanic. Will be doing both fieldwork and shopwork, on my own but for them😅 so independent but for a company 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@rvatto7144]

Keep the corny jokes and sarcasm coming

[@nerysalguero3956]

Yo how you and your apprentice banter is exactly how me and my boss banter. My boss and me sat in a trailer yesterday eating pizza and it was just a banter. He claims he hates but I know he loved me

[@barratheworld2064]

As a fitter mechanic myself, love these videos, such a good vibe from you blokes

[@TekamoHD]

Cool man, how long you been doing that? Glad you like the videos!

[@barratheworld2064]

@@TekamoHD I was a light vehicle mechanic for 6 years & now currently doing the heavier side for the last year, working on rollers, excavators, big difference than working on cars but the bigger gear is awesome

@@barratheworld2064 nice man. Heavy duty is where it's at. Whereabouts in the world are you wrenching?

Alright!! The Camster!!! How’s it hanging Wrenchy? Nice vid. Glad to see you not afraid to get down and dirty.

Howwwwww??? I guess thats a dual Cam

Yeah I’ve heard of heating the oil in an old pan to help seals become more malleable I need to try it next time I have to do it.

Let us know how it goes

[@TekamoHD]

hahaha where are you currently wrenching?

[@francoishamman2649]

On a Doosan DX220, also no better way to relief pressure on the supply lines, BUT it would have helped if you didn't pull the rod back to full stroke... just saying🙂

[@zburkst2928]

try the dewalt xr 1/2" cordless, no lag baby

[@minixllc4860]

Can you make a video of how to remove a pin that has gotten seize/stuck in the hole of the blade of a small excavator? The pin that locks the outer 8" or so of blade

[@keithmckay3454]

`I had that problem with a 200D. What happens if you don't be careful when you are trying to bleed the cylinder and get rid of the trapped air it will" diesel" and blow the seals out of the gland.

[@brandone6252]

Just did a cylinder repack on a Volvo ad30

[@TekamoHD]

How'd it go?

[@brandone6252]

It went smooth other then I snapped a bar in half trying to open up the cylinder damn she was tight

Working on it right now!

[@krisbrzezina2289]

haha funny getting ripped into the apprentice

[@PrairieMechanic]

Good work fellas. Where are you located at? Does Cam own the company or what? Is there a video with these details? If not you should do one. I’d be into that! I started my own business last March and enjoy hearing about others.

[@BluTechEquipment]

I'm sure we could put something together.

[@cca-automotive2024]

Not sure if you are aware that impact if newer model is being recalled due to trigger issues and hammer unit issues. They are replacing it with the previous model .

[@stitchthisditchthat259]

Some companies actually are like you piss when I tell you you can 😂

[@TekamoHD]

Hey guys! The extended version releases tomorrow and part 2 is being worked on right now. Thanks for the love everyone. And if you're an HD mechanic from Texas shoot us a message [e-mail]

[@Mimibear1]

Could be your trigger on your impact

[@kenluther9948]

I always wear a seatbelt, because everyone drives like they're brain dead.

Bro needs some coin for a tooth, would u give him a 500$ bonus so he could go get a flipper made up 🤷‍♂️

[@grathado28]

It would be a joy to work with these guys this is why men and women shouldn't work together because he wouldn't be able to talk like this
