John Deere 690B radiator leak

[@williampankratz600]

There were a few seconds pause at about 40 minutes that made me realize that it can't be that bad or we wouldn't be seeing this video ,,, but it still wasn't good ,,, glad to see this video !

I have had those injury surprises on jobs, they scared the living daylights out me, I was lucky to walk away thru out my career, a guy just keeps going. Head wounds bleed like a stuck hog anyway, don’t ask me how I know that. Glad it wasn’t worse for you, stay safe young man. I worked on a 690B at one time, they seemed to be a pretty decent machine for its time. Thanks for the video, always a pleasure to watch.

[@ifbrokewefix]

Keep up the good work buddy glad to see the new videos I know it ain't always easy or fun but your a good man with strong knowledge

[@twistin140]

Thanks for the share Warren, sorry you got hurt on that one. hope your ok.

[@Dennis379c16]

My grandfather always said it's a long way from your heart. Just suck it up, and let's get this job done. That generation was hard core. Some of that rubbed off on me. It happens!

[@IrnDsl69]

When that shroud fell and the video fell silent, I thought for sure it knocked you unconscious. No groans, no cursing, no talking, just wind in the camera. “Oh shit there went Warren” You’re a hard working SOB Warren! Hope the head stops ringing soon.

[@MatWalter-q3h]

Two cents worth... You are a straight forward logically minded person and that is fundamentally what makes you very good at your job. The way you think is not common nor promoted in this day and age. The reason no one will work on old equipment... they are not really interested in 'fixing' anything what they are interested in is endless drama. Poor me I got my hand dirty.... oh my it took all day. As though there was some other thing they may have done that mattered... like texting there mother about the weather. The motor home is a metaphor for our entire society. No one needs a motor home, they produce nothing and consume massively... therefore when most mechanics are called to 'look at one' go ahead.. look at it.. get out the parts cannon and shoot off a few shots... get a good bill going.... that way everyone gets the drama... owner gets to complain of the bill, in fact several bills the mechanic gets to complain that although he did what the computer said the machine still does not work.... the parts people get to sell some parts, fed ex got a delivery and the motor home that is not needed at all is still 'broken". This is success not failure. Success is measure in drama and how many people got paid. When you and I were young we were taught that success was a fixed machine so it could go to work and move dirt.... there is no dirt to move and everyone still gets paid even when the machine does not move so today success is not what it was. I mention all this in hope you can find solace and a good living letting go of the idea that there is anything to be 'fixed' Go out to more motor homes.... they are gold mines... seldom rusty and usually just need a part replaced as it has not moved in three years. The owners are so grateful you came to the motor home and they did not have to tow it and any bill you give them is pocket change compared to the tow plus a dealer bill. I have found the work so easy and fast I negotiate a $ amount to fix it there on the side of the road given I came all that way and such. I learned this by driving 1 hour there, fix it in one hour and drive home and bill less than the tow bill would have been.... no more of that. To go to a motorhome and fix it where it sits is worth all of the tow bill plus two hours at the dealer whether it takes me 10 mins or 6 hours. The owner of every motor home I have fixed was thrilled that it actually works again properly and could careless what the bill was. good work. cheers

[@LJJKD1947]

Your absolutely correct about the endless drama today

[@idessaoutlaw]

In 1975 I was digging a basement with a John Deere 690b when it stacked a bearing.. I went to town and picked up the parts and worked all that day and night doing an inframe .. was back digging the next morning.. Good ole days..🥃😎👌

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Warren glad you are okay after the frame work around the radiator. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Warren.

[@John-gj9db]

I’m really enjoying your videos Warren. Thank you.

[@roadsideservice2406]

Good to see your ok. Thanks for the video

[@shovelguggelheim8454]

I admire your dedication to protecting you customer's equipment from damage by throwing yourself between it and the ground. That's going the extra mile. Take care of yourself mate. Every day the hospital folk seed people whose lives have radically changed in the blink of an eye. Whether it be up a ladder at home or out on a job. Glad you're alright.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I was screaming "If it slips out from under the hood it's going to hurt!!!!!" about the time it took you out. I had a Corvette that the dealer and other shops were looking for an electrical gremlin and it was the connections at the starter also. Crazy how that's so easily overlooked just because it starts. Thanks and be careful partner!

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Warren, hope your head ain't too damaged mate, these things happen no matter how experienced we are. Looks like a whole bunch of fluid leaks on the old deer, going to entertain you for a while. Look after yourself, Best wishes to you and your's, and the doggies. Stuart Uk.

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Hey Warren, as we get older we have to think things out a little better. I’m not as agile or as strong as I was in my forties! Glad you didn’t end up there laying in the field knocked out or with an excavator part stuck in you. Stay safe my friend. Thanks much for the video!

[@PopPopJoe]

Seems like its a lot more work, when you have to mess with and set up cameras all the time. I enjoy watching the videos you put up! Thanks

[@pjchris90]

Sorry you got hurt and I hope you heal up quickly. Working around all that heavy equipment there is almost a risk in removing anything for injury. Thanks for putting the video up to show others you can really get clocked doing some of these jobs, regardless of your experience level.

[@fuhrstpuhl3278]

When you're old school you just ponder for a minute, shake your head, suck it up and keep movin. What else you gonna do the gubmint ain't handing out free stuff to people that work for a liviing so if you want to keep eatin you gotta keep movin......

I hope you are not busted up too badly. Head injuries hurt like heck. Thanks for the content.

[@gcflower99]

Good video, Warren! Would love to see a video about your "emergency" motorhome stranded at the fairgrounds. Thinks like the loose primary wire on the starter plague the RV industry. I firmly believe they give a kid named "Freddy" a square drive, a pocket full of self tapping screws, point toward the assembly line and say: "Go put that RV together as fast as you can".

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

The vast majority of the rv industry is trash.

I just saw the video. I’m glad you’re okay. The only thing about working by yourself, even though we all do it by choice and out of necessity. Not sure if you or your viewers have seen one of my all time favorite movies, There Will Be Blood (no pun intended). But the main character Daniel Plainview (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) reminds me of you in some ways (not ruthless or evil). A hard working, no non-nonsense, determined and driven individual. No time to whine, complain, feel sorry for yourself or give up….just gotta push through. 👍👍

[@srlstephen8465]

Good interesting video. Thanks for posting.

You made through the video Hope all is well Safe travels bud

[@fastst1]

As you were wiggling that radiator guard I'm thinking of the one I pulled off a JD wheel loader, heavy cuss, when it flipped off and ripped you right out of the frame holy crap. Glad you had your safety hat on!

Keep doing you Warren. I don’t have any issues with the way you make your videos or your content. I think it’s great to be able to speak what ever you want. It’s called the 1st Amendment. I enjoy all of your videos and views of what you post. So have a great day and a wonderful life. Peace brother.

[@died4us590]

The crazy thing about this video, was that i knew you were gonna get hurt before it happened, and i was so tense watching this video. As a kid i would always know something was gonna happen before it did. I am so glad that didn't get you worse, the good Lord had a Hand on you for sure. G-d bless.

[@normannichols780]

My ❤ stopped for 3 seconds Damm. I was thinking R.N.P. You hard ass mechanic hat's off to you stay safe.

[@knis01]

You broke the fall of that shroud so it didn't get all bent up and blood didn't get over everything, all is well! LOL

[@philstreeter9703]

I was just thinking "Is he going to get the crane" and you gave it a yank. I hope you didn't get hurt too bad Warren. New tech's like to work on newer machines because of the electronics and the thought of working on a pre-electronic engine would tax their brains. That is where you excel, you have a good brain, slightly flattened, but still a good one. lol

[@nathankisner8332]

Sir, have you not watched his hay squeeze conversion videos? He pretty amazing at just about anything.

[@curtcoker6359]

Nice to see that you survived the shroud to the dome Right after you got the bigger bolts out of the way I was thinking to myself that it’s time to break out the crane then BANG I was expecting a huge explosion of cursing and flying tools but you were silent just long enough for me to think you were either KOed or you got hit so hard you were trying to catch your breath but then you popped up Glad to see you are ok It’s got to be rough being a one man show because you work in some pretty secluded areas taking apart some heavy duty stuff and the amount of opportunities to get mangled out in the boondocks is concerning Anyway I’m just happy you got away relatively unscathed

[@garyfeltus9801]

Some times you can take all the precautions and things can still bite you in the butt. Just glad it wasn't any worse than it was. Great video .

[@williegillie5712]

Boy Warren , your one tough son of a gun. I would have had to come back another day. Boy that’s some heavy duty wrenching ya got going on. Be safe out there. I hope to see many more of your videos. Thanks for the video.

[@moparfamily4932]

I almost thought that iron took you out. “Strap that sucker down” I thought as I jumped up out of my seat as if I could grab it! Hard head or not, that definitely will leave its mark. Life of a one man band, but it sucks when you want it done right. Hope you don’t feel the effects too long.

[@SteveTalbot-h6o]

You are one tough dude!! I worked with a guy who would beat all heck out of whatever injured him. That fan shroud would have gotten the hammer if it hit Bruce!! Just another weird mechanic.

[@fredflintstone8048]

In the world of working with machine tools in a machine shop there's an old saying: "Don't guess, or assume what's going to happen, know what's going to happen". It's when we don't slow down enough to pay attention to things that something jumps out and bites us. Happens to me once in awhile and I realize I was ignoring the old rule and not concentrating on everything I was doing. My biggest problem is dropping things.

[@firemedic2577]

Glad you ok. Keep the good work coming.

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Sorry to see you got hurt Warren. But like you said, all pays the same, stop working doesn't pay to well. Hope your doing well.

Wow! That looked painful! Looked like something I would have done. Just jumping off the machine looked painful to me, but I'm getting old and I'm learning that I just don't recover from injuries like I did years ago.

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

That was a close call, Warren. Glad that you wasn’t hurt worse or pinned down and coyote food. Seriously though, I worry about you being in a remote location by yourself and getting hurt or pinned. We have all had days where something wants to draw blood. I spend some time today replacing my wife’s fuel pump in her van. Kinda a pain to get out and back in. Michigan Vehicle, 260K on original fuel pump. Thanks for the videos, Warren. I would rather not see videos with you bleeding in the future, maybe KZbin will give you more viewers. Those belts looked really loose when you were running it. Tough old 466 Deere Engines.

I got a mower that has a 4 cylinder Kubota diesel in it, it has an antifreeze leak that I can't find, Coolant is not going into the oil and there are no wet areas around the radiator park in on cement overnight and there are so puddles under it, the only thing I can think of is it must be leaking into the intake somehow and coming out the exhaust. You would think the muffler would be gummy soot inside and its not, I am at wits end with it.
