That's Not how we used to do it‼️

Haha well, it's the truth. Before we got this Cat 308D mini Din Excavator, we used to struggle reaching Way in this Mill, It was always a Pain in the Butt. www.loggerwade....

[@rocktruckrob]

Good morning Wade … it’s a good day when there is a logger Wade vidjya… great start to my day, I appreciate that sir , thank you much love from Ontario, Canada 👊✌️🇨🇦

[@philhammond5908]

I’m sure big daddy said when I was your age we’d have just picked that up and set it in there;-)

[@user-rt8ik1ow4i]

Great vidjya wade,informative

[@jamesbergfeld5923]

Thank you Mr Wade for an other great video. Bless you your family and the crew

[@jennyoreilly5980]

That was exciting. Never a dull day with Wade and the crew. Thanks for the great content, would love to see more.

[@joshuanickell6613]

Good video. As a fellow sawmiller I enjoy seeing the actual work that's done to keep our operations going

[@SouthrenShrek]

Good to hear Rogers Laugh again...

[@NathanCEnyart]

All your videos are great. I worked in a sawmill when I was 17 but just for a short time

[@thebear5454]

I have to admit that was pure genius Tater. Great job getting that beast of a motor in & out.

[@rockman531]

That's one hell of a way to make toothpicks!! Great video! Thumbs up! Safety first!

[@brucehuff5566]

That is some great ingenuity and awesome teamwork. Thanks for the video. Stay safe

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks Wade, brings back memories, I worked in an electric motor shop with 24 hour emergency service, i think you did a sweet job of getting that motor out and back in again, sometimes you do what you have to, sketchy or not. Enjoyed watching, appreciate you taking time to record it. You have a good crew to work with.

[@TronVila]

Super smart 👌🏻 the location of it and its surroundings don’t leave many options

[@waynetharp]

Soon as I saw Roger was on the scene...I immediately knew things were going to get done right!🤠 Nice job, Fellers and hopefully the boys can figure out how to get this job done next time!👍

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Hi Wade, old jargon, old jargon, jargon, jargon, as requested Wade, glad I could help. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@everettpalmeriii5268]

Like seeing the nitty gritty side of things. Projects,repairs,job site work never goes as expected. Seeing the difficult things and the solutions is interesting and informative.

[@DreamState71822]

This is definantly one of those hold my beer moments. Getting an excivator in the building to do a job is just too funny but if it works then it works.

[@pauldillinger2286]

I liked that video Wade. I interested in what it takes to keep things running. Great job guys.

[@retired-pipefitter]

Reminds me of working around the millwrights in the paper mills here in the northeast!

[@budwalker333]

Your lucky to have a motor shop that will give that kind of service nobody seems to understand the cost of downtime

[@timtaulu9914]

The video brings back many 20 hour days from my past

[@tmacie2]

An excavator on a log deck.....how can that NOT be a good vidja?!?!? 24 years on that motor, thats pretty good. Shows what a little maintenance will do.

[@alanwatts9232]

Interesting video Wade. Years ago I was a maintenance electrician in a knitting mill. If a machine was down for mechanical adjustment I'd take the opportunity to check the motors. With my ear muffs against the side of the cabinet a quick spin of the motor and I could hear if the bearing were on the way out, replacing them early saved many motors from having to be rewired. In your case a stethoscope might be useful.

[@LoggerWade]

Intresting thanks bud ill try that

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Wade nice job knowing your equipment taking the ex up on the log deck to remove the motor

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Congratulations! Great job! You and your team are one of the best! Having a good time in a bad situation. We all get twisted up once in a while.😂 Thank you for being you, and thank you for sharing!

[@rknight7509]

Wow from in truck to running in 30 minutes very impressive😁

[@leecooper7374]

You and Roger are a real team of professionals. I’m sure there’s days neither one of likes the other but the respect never goes away nor dose the true friendship. 👊👊

[@LoggerWade]

We actually keep things pretty light between us We so used to each other when one gets down the other helps out

[@michaelguerin56]

Good video Wade. Nice work with the excavator. Thank you.

[@user-ff5ut5xm2z]

Great video, well done Wade Those mini excavators are just about as handy as the pocket on your shirt

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Good morning logger wade hope everyone is well thanks for sharing

[@tapertrain1614]

Great video, keep them coming. I look to forward every Wednesday

[@austinhenry7626]

When things get tough the tough get going! You have some really good people you work with!

[@Richard-C]

hope you have time to show us part 2 of this repair 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@busenitzcustomwoodworks6768]

Awesome video! I’m no electrician but I do find it very interesting! Quick search said 250 hp = 300+ FLA at 480v which would take 3/0 wire…. Totally different league! Definitely don’t play around with that. Glad you got it figured out!

[@oldsmokeeater7075]

Wow another adventure packed with suspense to finally reach the first goal. Then why not have another major issue show up! Be Safe Youngman and thanks for sharing.

[@LoggerWade]

Thanks bud will do

[@user-dy3dj9nm7s]

Nice work Logger Wade. Y'all take care.

[@smoothbore4377]

In regard to rotation, ... it seems like a 50/50 proposition, but in over 40 years of monkeying with 3 phase motors, getting correct rotation on the first try only happens about 25% of the time.

[@LoggerWade]

Lol I don't disagree with that

[@jeffmentzer9186]

That is quite the large project to take on getting the motor in and out! Looking forward to your next video Wade. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!!!

[@mdlln1]

Great vidja Tatar way to think out of the box 👍🏻

[@billymoad]

Okay Wade that's cool I hope nothing Bent under the weight and that's a big electric motor 😮😮😮😮

[@joshsteiner2760]

Great vidja Wade . Gotta do things a little different sometimes to keep things rolling. I hope things get better for you guys . This economy is bleeding us smaller businesses dry . Have a good one.

[@mikeludwig4315]

Great content Wade. Glad you took us along with you and the crew today and got the motor in safely.

[@jimdaly5077]

Hi working to a deadline keeps you on your toes. Hope you had a good birthday 👍🐝🌞

[@VideosByAl]

Nice job on the removal and installation of such a big motor.

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Excellent video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@donalddehaven3229]

Wade, it’s amazing what you can do. It would be something just to spend a day with you to see the operation.

[@kenore4003]

Worked at a soybean processing plant and would have to swap out a 150 horse motor that was 8 feet up. We did have a beam overhead but we had to trapeze it over using 2 chainfalls and drop it down.

[@rogergoins8118]

Great video and good to see you still taking care of Roger.

[@davetunbridge6637]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and if it looks silly but works it ain’t silly it’s genius 😊 have a good one

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Logger Wade, you and your crew are absolute LEGENDS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@8marcrara11]

Goodonya Wade! Top Stuff! Enjoyed in Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍⚡️🐝

[@f250ford2004]

Great job Wade!!! got to do what ya got to do to get the job done!!!!!!

[@bladewiper]

Talk about a high risk/high reward job. Using the hoe saved a bundle of time, but wow oh wow, like you said, it could of turned into weeks of repairs and a bundle of money, if it had gone bad. 👍👍

[@user-lf1mb6ov7y]

thinking outside the box to get things done great job

[@bjhunt4909]

Love your attitude towards everything and how you respect your help!! Top notch sir!

[@LoggerWade]

I appreciate that!

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@carlwilliams1570]

Nice work! If you ever go to Florida again to the auctions look for a Broderson Carry Deck Crane. Once you use one on any industrial site you will wonder how you ever got along without it. We have an 8 ton size with a fly away jib that has a 45 ft tip height.

[@LoggerWade]

Yes sir we rented one once it was slick

[@dknust9]

I love your vidja like this. Interesting to watch

[@BarnyardEngineering]

24 years.. Tater was but a little spud when that motor went in.

[@scottroberson2656]

[@stevenmastin8864]

Nice to see old Roger again

[@stevenclaeys6252]

The struggle is real ! Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers

[@henrytomlinson3634]

[@CharlesDevall-ce2du]

[@petermccuskey1832]

Adapt and overcome. I love it.

[@jameswilliams-rc9hj]

A small gantry crane would be a good winter/youtube project.

[@davestuart6593]

Thx Wade

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Cool Wade

[@In2investing]

That log deck is impressive to hold the weight of that 308 like it ain't no thang!!

[@petenolte4192]

Work smarter not harder😊

[@ohhpaul7364]

A jib or gantry crane in there would be just the thing but how do you go about putting one in without it being in the way most of the time? Nice to see y'all

[@joshdusenberry4219]

This is some of my favorite stuff you do no stop logger wade so cool

[@Moose-rq8gv]

Great vidja

[@franksmith8184]

Always a good day with a logger wade video. Who needs DP when you got logger wade on the excavator lol

[@LoggerWade]

Lol hey I can handle anything that don't get to complex. Then I'd say the big DP would have to take over

[@Bodie2020]

I think most of enjoy the detail like this vodka showed. But any day with a LW vid is a good day

[@benjirichards3095]

Your just a hero!

[@BG-vq9fd]

Where there is a will there is a way. Good old Hoosier ingenuity.

[@yup.imdave.9345]

Good to watch Tater at work what I got out the video was a Dewalt guy using a Milwaukee impact. Lol. Like the videos keepem coming.

[@cindyking9813]

Oh my goodness you are brilliant! Let’s Dig 18 would be so proud of you!

[@LoggerWade]

Hey making big deal 18 proud would make my day

[@philipsavickas4860]

most likely it was the rear bearing but I don't know the rear has the most pressure on it

[@leonardryan8723]

Some heavy electric motor use little 3/4 or 1 ton chain fall , you guys like 👍 to make thing sound bigger them what it is Wade . 😢

[@leonardryan8723]

Wade you don’t have crane 🏗 trucks in your state. See that THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST . IF you get it out in one ☝️ pc , HOPE you get it back in with out doing more damage to your equipments. Hey 👋 if electric motor running backward just change any two wire be running clock wise them Wade . 😊

[@waltervanhoose2557]

Excavator in the building lol funny but cool thinking outside the box lol they probably think your nuts

[@joshuaplacka8480]

Hope you guys are doing well. It’s been tough in the timber industry. We just had a local mill shut down for good Allegany Wood Products just closed there doors in WV 850 employees out of work. It’s hard to tell how many people it will actually affect if you account for all the contractors. Sad day’s int he USA if you ask me. Best of luck.

[@daviddavis6855]

You know that is longer than most marriages!

[@troytreeguy]

Good job buddy keep us on edge ❤

[@randallnottingham799]

It’s better to use hydraulics to change the motor than your back wade great video

[@seanpierce7673]

[@LoggerWade]

Copy thanks bud

[@jefferywilson4091]

One thing I know for sure is there's so many moving parts in a sawmill that something is always wearing out.
