I've been suffering from anxiety for the last week, and for some reason, the WWW back catalogue of videos is great to take my mind off things. It may not be calming for Wes to actually work on this stuff, but I'm finding it very relaxing.

[@Porty1119]

I can relate to that. I'll cuss up a blue streak while working on the stuff, then come home and relax by watching someone else work on their own iron!

It's baffling how far the production quality of your videos has come over the last year or so. Keep it up.

[@WatchWesWork]

I try.

[@tekvax01]

It's not baffling at all! Wes, you are doing an AMAZING job, sir!

Your special sense of humor is one of main reasons I can't wait for more videos from you Wes. Please keep on rocking

Wes, I just wanted to let you know that your personality and work bring me joy every time I watch your videos. Please keep creating!

[@filmbluff99]

What makes Wes’s channel really special, in addition to his mechanical expertise and persistence, is his dry sense of humour. For instance, “this machine comes with a building grill straightener “, absolutely fabulous. Thank you. 😀🇬🇧

I’m sure the triple nickel will be the next perpetual content creator. Keeping Wes working!

[@WatchWesWork]

No doubt!

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Nooooo not that ahhhh

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

​@@WatchWesWorkI bet running this vehicle on ether and dirty diesel was great for that pump. As they say, "when there isn't enough fuel flowing through a pump, just spray some ether in the intake and run the pump while it's dry or pumping water condensation through it.... in lieu of clean diesel" 😂😂😂 Maybe it woulda failed either way, but you didnt help yourself out by running that on ether... And you even had the bobcat on site.

[@LAactor]

@@sasquatchrosefarts what does he bobcat have anything to do with getting this running

[@robertklein1316]

I think he bled the pump beforehand with clean diesel.@@sasquatchrosefarts

[@IR-nq4qv]

the customer should have provided a flapper for his new exhaust. Good job on the pump Wes.

[@shawnrenaud2252]

That may be why he needed Wes to install the upper reducer -- to fit an existing flap assembly.

[@IR-nq4qv]

@@shawnrenaud2252 So yeah...In the meantime lets park it out in the rain so water can run down inside the exhaust manifold..., maybe the reducer is the perfect size for a soup can.... the customer could have at least supplied a soup can if not a flapper...

“Perpetual content machine.” That’s a winning line, if ever I heard one! Keep up the great work.

[@orgcoast5990]

Wes: You may appreciate this short story. Many years ago I needed to rebuild my old 8N. After new bearings, main and rod, I decided to treat the new parts. I dumped in a can of STP(all the rage at the time), new oil and fired it up. Started great but it began to slow. Before I could shut it off, it seized. I'm sure you know what happened. Old Ford 8N's oil pumps being what they were did not have the muscle to pump pure STP(does anything have that much muscle). When I dropped the pan I discovered a glop of STP surrounding the oil pump. So much for my mechanical ability. I did fix it and it ran great but what an experience. DB

[@johnhall235]

Its a good morning when WWW has a new video! Thank you Wes these are great

One of the BEST things about Watch Wes Work is Wes's sense of humor. Down right FUNNY!!!!

[@fink94]

I work on these pumps everyday. DPA pumps are fun to redo. These pumps are workhorses and don’t cost to much to redo

[@chrisharris8727]

Brilliant Wes and well done a lot of people would run a mile nowadays if you mentioned a leaking injection pump but the older ones like the CAV ones are not to bad at all to work on. Massey Ferguson in all its forms and designs are my favourite brand of tractor over here in the UK especially the older stuff. My Grandad used to work in a machine shop making gearbox parts and my Dad was a farmer I have very fond memories as a small child in the late 60s early 70s coming home from school getting changed and meeting my Dad and sitting on the tool box of his TE20 while he was ploughing etc. - happy days. Then there was the 35 working up to the 165. That actually had a cab !!! Our neighbours had the same model backhoe that you are working on and I guess I was around 15 when he used to let me have a go in it when he was cleaning ditches etc. Great content Wes and keep those videos coming 👍👍👍

[@KStewart-th4sk]

My Dad also had a Ferguson TE20. Bought it at an auction sale, i believe it was supposed to have been overhauled. I was the one driving it home, started missing, and.....towed it home. Turned out it had dropped a valve. It seems to me the guy that fixed it had a problem locating a piston for it and ended up going oversize on all 4. It had a lot of power for a small tractor. I remember it being very picky setting the points on it. A thou out and it would miss badly and i never ran across that before or since. We had John Deere 2-cyls. and a neighbor had Internationals so i would go there once in a while to file points or change points, etc. Back then, if you could get away with filing, that's what was done.

[@plumbum48]

Wes, Your content is always simultaneously informative and amusing. You are the G.O.A.T.!

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I sure have loved the perpetual content backhoe videos. That machine was the work that just kept on giving.

[@ourkid2000]

I watch all the usual guys.....SMA, PHAD, WWW, etc. Wes, I enjoy your videos the most. There's something really relaxing with your videos, i don't know how to describe it. I really look forward to them, every week. Great job!

[@jimc9581]

I had an old tractor for a year, got a ad for a good deal on a new Kubota in the mail 30 years ago. Never had the frustration of an old tractor again.

[@LeewardStudios]

A little Camarata, some Diesel Creek, throw in a mix of Squatch and some South Main Auto and you get Wes! Keep up the good work. Enjoying the channel!

[@MikeyBsGarage]

[@Livinglethallife]

"Luckily, I'm a horder..." Love this channel. Thanks, Wes!

[@mikespain8655]

You have to know that obviously working on heavy equipment and working on cars, trucks, and SUVs are two different skill sets. I work on small engines. When I get in a bind, sometimes I find myself asking, "what would Wes do?" The problem is, I can't ask Wes. It ain't easy folks.

I love your choice of intro music. Steven Spielberg eat your heart out! This is how it’s done!

[@TheFlyingBusman]

The gift that keeps on giving. CAV pumps are everywhere here in the U.K. nice to see yours chose to play nicely. The in-line ones seem to be less problematic though I’m guessing the whole machine has not led a sheltered life which doesn’t help. I’m sat here now wondering when we are going to get some Goldwing content as that seems to have sat in your shop forever.

[@anthonybaker1224]

Nice video. I used to deliver those MF Industrial tractors back in the late 80's from Trafford Park in Manchester....she's a long way from home !

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Very good Wes, I just finished working on a CAV pump on a IH B414 tractor that had been setting 10 years. The pump had water in it. The vanes in the transfer pump were broken and the rotor ring was shot. That was just the start of problems. What a mess. But I learned a lot about CAV's

Hey Wes, i'm no mecanique, i'm just a guy watching your video's here in Switzerland, and i really enjoy watching you limp or push an old crusty vehicle into your shop, and then watch you drive it out.

[@kennethhoovler9050]

The Massey was jealous of the skid steer, so it wanted your attention. Thank you for another Sunday video. Personally, I don't care for the background music, but that's only my opinion.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the owner of that backhoe must really love it to have you repeatedly fix it. For what it's cost in parts and labour over the years you've featured it in your videos, surely he could've bought another clapped out backhoe or two in better condition by now

[@LesReeves]

I have said this before I know I will never do any of the jobs you do but I really like the way you approach them & finish them Cheers Wes.

Dirt is great at showing where things aren't as well sealed as they should be. But once the non-seal has been located the dirt has served its purpose and it might as well be washed away.
