New service truck part 2

Showing a little of the auction and the trip and most important the truck I bought .

[@conantdog]

I still reach over to pat my Dog in the passenger seat and tell him we're home , he's been gone 5 years. I really enjoy hearing you through the day talking to your dogs and about your work 👍👍👍🛠️⚒️

[@ryangrimm9305]

You made out VERY well. Just with the welder you got your money's worth. All the rest is cream on top. The mirror is there so you can look for crap that gets in your eyes on the job site. They are in the lid of old machinist's tool boxes for the same reason: way back when, they didn't wear shop glasses fro protection, and even with goggles etc. nowadays it still happens. WELL DONE.

[@davidhazelwood9018]

Boy is it quiet. Congratulations

[@jimo199966]

The condition of the truck and service body aside you truly scored serious savings with all the left behind expensive freebies 👍👍 Congratulations.

[@jimdetchon3613]

Hi Warren! Nice pick. I was field service for 35 years all heavy equipment. I'm in the shop now. I sure miss the field. I just bought that same welder, your right on the price. 5500.00. I sure like watching you! I work a lot like you. Keep up the great work! The years in the field have finally won! Watching you keeps all the great years I spent in the field alive. Thank Warren! Maybe some day we could meet and share some stories.

[@packfannumber1]

In diesel school right now in Central Montana with a dream of owning my own service truck someday! Awesome to see this Warren! A good mechanic deserves a good service truck! Hope she makes you lots of moneyA

[@Brian-ug7du]

Congrats on the sweet truck. I kept thinking about you and hoping everything was working out for you. I’m glad it did! I had a local canvas place make a nice cover for my trailblazer on my service truck and it has already lasted 3 times longer than the miller cover I had at first, and it looks like it has many years to go.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Ok Warren... I'm just a little slow at seeing everything.. LOL. Assuming the whole works is IMT, they make some nice stuff!!!! I didn't hear what you actually paid, but being an inexpensive bastard, like us farmers.. it looks like all you paid for was the welder and what they left in the compartments. Used, ya.. so what!!! It's a nice truck and it's set up nice!! I built mine, '84 IH, rust bucket.. picked up a used box, stumbled across a PTO compressor, it's going to be hydraulic.. picked up a Lincoln Ranger 8 and an old 4,200# cable crane.... Nothing is new, I've done some work on everything, but it all works!!! Compressor isn't done yet, crane needs some parts, but is useable. Not counting time, I've got about $4k into it. Still a work in progress but we've been using it for almost two years!! My work in progress... LOL 😎 😂 Actually reworking a box off one of my old service trucks to go up top.. swapping the doors to hinge at the top... I'm only 5'10", not 10'5".... BTW, the IH isn't nearly as good a ride as the little Freightliner... We've got an FL70 with a flatbed.. Everything we have is on Freightliner Air ride, including the IH!!!😎 I was wondering how it would be with the crane, but it sets level!!! Bad thing is, the welder is on the right side too... She doesn't like left turns🤣😂 but right turns are great!!!

[@williambrown8622]

Very nice truck.

[@FILIPFROMSALMO]

great buy, nice truck

[@rbaker1423]

Congratulations Warren. It looks like a great truck. You've earned it. Nice new welder too.

[@davehevner8219]

Nice service truck Warren ! only those of us who work outside at multiple job sites can really appreciate a vehicle like this. You’ll make great use of all the options this baby has. My truck is falling apart at the seams, held together with straps just keeping doors closed so my tools don’t end up on the pavement as I drive. Enjoyed this video.

[@6stringsbrainfingers]

Love your videos Warren. You do what you do, and you make it seem fun. Your job is incredibly hard, and you have to know so much to do it. Thank fuck for people like you who keep the big wheels turning.

[@chucklesx]

A long lasting bit of advice I was given many years ago... there is a huge difference between too much work for one man and enough work for two men. The employee has to be payed every week whether you are or not. It will be great to see you expand when the time is right but don't do it just because everyone else says you should.

[@sw923]

Agreed !!well said

[@fiegenfiegen]

As a small business owner who has had employees for 25 years, I have to say that, while I agree with you that it is best to think about it, sometimes you do not see the benefits of a good employee until you have one: when you find a good person who is eager to work and has a pride in working hard, and you can enjoy the occasional walk with your wife or kids or simply take a weekend off because someone is taking care of things, it is a great feeling too. It also feels great to see that you are helping a person grow to become a trustworthy professional and that your business moves move work. Having an employee is not really about making money (you hardly make any), but having a bit more of a life as you get older and serving more customers.

[@cobrasvt347]

I have a 18 horse Miller legend with high frequency unit and all that was my dad's and it's not going anywhere either. That thing has saved me in power outages and I use it all the time on service calls. I sure love that thing especially since it will put out full power at idle and run the whole house. 👍

[@Idahovandal4ever]

Super-nice looking service truck, and heavy duty will come in handy. Congratulations! I was a bit disappointed to hear you aren't planning to make any cross-country trips over here to southern Idaho.

[@crazyjdkid]

That's a great service truck! I have always been a fan of the FL70. If the noise becomes too bothersome you can always add some underlayment sound insulation under the floor or in the door panels!

[@johncobb3726]

Congratulations Warren on your new service truck, it could not happen to a nicer hard working person than yourself. Looking forward to more fantastic video`s. Best Wishes from John in Scotland, UK.

[@dewaynehahn6873]

I too own a FL70 service truck. I independently do service work on heavy equipment. Your biggest problem is switching between trucks and organization on your new truck. Side note is two dogs won't fit on the right seat, my German Shepherd just fits. Just one small problem of many. You are exactly right, a field mechanic must be able to improvise.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thank you , I enjoyed your comment.

[@ianleonard2829]

Well done warren looks as if you have a good truck there hope it gives you good service im sure you will get the odd jobs sorted

[@Tf9500]

You are right about shop mechanics and road mechanics. I call it thinking outside the box, anybody can cobble things up, but thinking of the best way to get things going and last is something different. Nice truck I could use it this time of year working on combines. Be nice to see it in action👍👍

[@sandy1653]

She might not be new, but all the important gear is good as by the look of it. Bit of spit, polish and some elbow grease and she'll be good to go for many a year. Thanks for the video.

[@andrewcdavies]

Looks like a great purchase Warren. I'd love a truck like that but in the UK we have to work from vans. Good luck.

[@keithshrode]

Hard work pays off. Congratulations again. I couldn’t hardly wait on this update. I’m excited for you.

[@davidjackson4112]

Warren, your have enormous amount of integrity. That’s the best practice in life. Awesome videos. Thanks!!!

[@73Shakes]

I use to manufacture those cranes in Tulsa, Ok. years ago that is. Nice truck for sure very well epuipped and the welder was an awesome added bonus!

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

Hello Warren. We don't have service trucks like yours here in the UK. We have a pickup with a tool box in the back. Or a big van. So we try to do most of our repairs at our work shop garage.

[@johndouglasdawson7298]

You sound very happy 😊 with the new service truck looks good a clean and a coat 🧥 of paint.Will the dogs 🐕 like it.Hope it makes your life a little easier. Good luck with it John UK.

[@edadpops1709]

I remember layin under my 65 Ford right after I brought it home, just looking and thinking.it was a happy day, wife came out wondering what was going on ,I said I was just looking at what I got. Happy time

[@endtimeawakening5557]

Very sad to hear about you losing your dad Warren. He will forever remain in your Spirit which is the mind of man. You have memories that will never leave you and I'm sure you'll be reunited when you pass through the door from this world to the next. Only our bodies are temporal in this experience, not our Spirits. This mortality puts on immortality when you're born again and it only gets better from there! God bless, take care!

[@stephenhoran7597]

Nice clean window screen😂 continued good luck with it😎

[@patrickpatrick191]

I am fascinated by your bargain! Like Christmas!

[@skippy5712]

Driving in a City compared to the Country. My children in Australia finally made me aware what I was doing wrong about 10 years ago. Always put your indicator on well ahead of time. Expected in a City. If the first guy won't let you in the next one will. I found after I did that most City drivers are very polite. Thats in Australia anyway. They all understand it could be them one day needing to cross three lanes. One thing I never understood until I was 50.

[@dylanenochs7267]

Nice rig, looking forward to you getting your tools on it and working the piss out of it like you do. You deserve that truck you’re a hard working SOB. Ended up with a nice welder too. Of course you spent more time looking through the free crap left in the bolt bins than anything else, ha!... you motivate me warren. Keep it up. Love watching

[@samrugtiv3839]

Great truck,you made out good,thanks for the tour warren. Sam

[@madthewirdo4236]

Those are really nice service trucks, had one for 4 years

[@brommas1]

All in all you did really well for what you paid for the truck. Few little jobs and your good to go, nice truck. Awesome extras, that welder is unreal , 13 hours!. nice, love your videos, keep it up.

[@buffsheeri]

did I miss what he paid for it?

[@gowolverines3652]

buffsheeri 24k

[@smallthingshomestead279]

Best of luck with the new truck Warren. Hope it makes life a little easier for you. Hope daisy and duke adjust to it. Have a great day.

[@Lucky4wd4840]

Warren, I am very happy for you. I very much agree with your life and work ethics!

[@dirtfireservices]

Congratulations on your new service truck, glad its going to get some love. We had 2 FL 70's that were Fuel/Oilers i had to do a head gaskets around 400k. Im amazed at all the stuff they left on it, but thats good for you. Enjoy your new service truck i remember when i went from a shop to field mechanic i was i like a kid in a candy store when i got my truck. Some people don't understand unless they have that passion. 👍

[@BuilderCannon]

Congrats on the new truck. Your video are helpful and its refreshing to see a hard working American

[@carguy3504]

nice.... you will have it up an running in no time and making $$ i love buy trucks like this because when your done you know what you have

[@TheSagerider]

Thanks for sharing this with us. I watched the other videos first so I kind of know how it goes a little bit down the road but all in all it is a very nice truck.

[@markgroth4380]

Having all that stuff left in that truck is going to save you a lot of money. A friend of mine set up a service truck from scratch and kept track of what he spent, almost twice what he spent on the chassis.

[@Anders_HeymSR30]

Looks like you got an absolute bargain, well done!

[@richardlambeck7649]

Very nice service truck...can't believe they left all that expensive stuff on truck...plus a basically new Miller trailblazer (my favorite) and new leads WOW!!!! Man you got a good deal...can't wait to see how you set it up.

[@all4jarrett]

To bad it doesn't have any horizontal doors on it. I was going to recommend some decals for those doors. " Up Time" when one was closed, " Down Time" when one was opened. Congrats!!

[@Junkyardmethod]

On my old service truck equipped like yours the option switch allow you to run crane and compressor at the same time. Possibly yours is setup the same. The Trailblazer welds great compared to a bobcat or Lincoln Ranger. Nice smooth arc. Hard to say how many cans of hard rod and 7018 I’ve burnt with one! It should make a great truck. Simple to work on and not too pretty to work out of.

[@terrybastian6823]

Warren,Salutations/kudos to you on your knew to you truck. I think that you earned the upgrade it will help you make your first million. Congratulations on the purchase! Keep on doing what has helped you get to your status and don't look back. Bless you!!

[@Gkuljian]

Congrats on the great purchase. When I bought my boom truck I drove it from San Diego to SF, and there was only one weigh station and they just waved me on. Good thing because I didn't have insurance, or a license, or a moving permit. I just didn't know much back then.

[@kellykonoske91]

That bulk head is probably to corral oil or chemical drums to keep them from sliding around.

[@sw923]

Congratulations on new truck. Looks good. A lot of service trucks come from big company's. I work for an electric utility and many years as road mechanic. We never send our road service trucks to auction with all that stuff you have. We save the welders as spares. So you got lucky getting those added pieces. Klein trays look like they will fit those slides. We use them for hydraulic fittings, and all other hard ware. Bins are labeled often , in our main shop, there is 3 service trucks shared by 10 mechanics. Usually mechanics who have assigned or take home units dont label bins. Common with big fleets. The IMT cranes seem to do real well to. Hope you get many years of use out of it and thanks for your vidoes.

[@mikebonge7206]

Looks so good,great buy. People have no respect for someone else’s equipment anymore. Those pads are expensive. It has to be a company truck. To leave all those good things You did very good. As expected. Congratulations

[@chrisfarabaugh3235]

Hi Warren, looks like a good buy. I bought a similarly equipped truck 3 years ago (International with DT466e 230 hp, Spicer 7 spd, air brakes 25,999 gvw, autocrane body with 8,000 lb crane, hydraulic air compressor. Paid 23k for it, still had to do some work on it. Just the right size truck in my opinion though. I wont ever use a gas compressor on a service truck again, it's nice to flick a switch and have air.

[@Wjones450]

you made out very well my friend! I cant believe they left all that stuff! what a bonus!

[@chenderson4969]

Awesome bit of kit, money making truck warren! Definitely get a cover made up for that welder, too nice to be out in the weather! Cheers mate

[@jamest2101]

WOW! very good rig, and a couple of grand in free stuff! Cant wait to see it once you get it fitted out the way you want it. You might want to think about having your friend sandblast, then prim and paint. If possible get a good power wash of the undercarriage, just noise off the top of my head. Isn't it amazing about all the good advice you can get from people when they don't have to do the work. Can not wait to see the jobs you work on once you get the beast fitted out. The dogs are going to be a little disappointed with the front seat. Gonna hear them calling shotgun a lot!

[@tnoel374]

Man that is a sweet work truck, it's got everything you need for field work.

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

I'm going to guess that this truck was on a military or government contract. Those are the only examples of organisations I can think of that would fit a new $5k welder about a week before casting the whole truck. Tax dollars at work, but at least you got the better end of that particular deal this time Warren! Great find, dude, and I wish you many happy and profitable hours together.

[@jabbasan12]

Congratulations on the new truck Warren!. Can't wait to see all the fixes and upgrades on it ;)

[@paulpence8895]

My worst mistake at a local auction,,, My father and I missed buying a 1991 CASEIH 7140 MFD @ 390 hrs, old guy retired, had it two years, sold for 53k... that was 1993,,, they're still worth that.... BTW, nice fucking truck!!! damn good buy....

[@txwizkid]

Congrats on the new truck! Hope Duke and Daisy like their new wheels.

[@scapmans1079]

Warren I’m new to your channel. You are the salt of the earth and have my utmost respect. Keep swinging pal.

[@orkidknog4147]

it will look a lot better for a pressure wash im sure, looks a good truck that will do the job you need it to, you never opened the 2 doors on the back bumper for us lol

[@125sm3]

Looks wicked Warren , thanks for the tour .

[@KLX1990]

Sick truck and welder. You made out like a bandit on that deal.

[@grumpyoldman336]

Killer truck mate that should serve you well for many years to come, keep the vanity mirror they come in handy for when a bit of shit gets in your eye under a truck for sure, yes you could use the side view mirror but then your standing up on the side trying to see but this makes it easier if you need to wash it out.

[@RickOshay...]

All you need now are some aluminum rims, 13 speed and bump up the power on that Cummins and your in!

[@mlhrepairsllc6942]

I ran a FL 60 for a few years, truck was basically the same setup as you got. Worked fantastic.

[@buffsheeri]

congratulations on your purchase hope it lasts a good long time for you

[@stihl0903]

Nice truck drives well on the road too. You did well their Warren.

[@jackwilbur9419]

Warren. Been binge qatching some of your vids. Good stuff. Congrats on the truck. I know you earned it

[@justinwoodlee1062]

Those oil absorption pads are a dollar a piece for the cheaper ones. Crazy crazy. I would have kept it all myself

[@2tana22]

Wow what a cool rig... I’d get a fresh start on the back end and get your buddy to paint that for sure. Pretty ratty... This truck is Really nice with Just small little fixes, fantastic!!!

[@nch-wf3tu]

Looking good! You mentioned painting it--- would be a great time to paint the insides of those boxes too. I know they will get tore up in time, but a little paint goes a long way! Good deal!

[@pistol05142000]

Congrats Warren. I really enjoy your video and learning from you...Thank you

[@randyscott8660]

Great video great stories as usual and a damn nice truck .

[@lla697]

Great video. Great Channel too. I have driven bus and truck most of my life, sure enjoy the open road. Speed traps make me crazy too until we remember the single most frequent controllable in an accident is......Speed. Never forget this. I know about all the debates with this issue and enforcement knows all that professional drivers want to do is make a living safely. Remember those on the "enforcement" side of the formula are at the accidents, clean up the aftermath, and inform loved ones of their new loss. Oh well that is my observations for the day.

[@Erated78]

Nice rig Warren, I think you did really good with this purchase. Id be happy as anything with all the extra shop towels and nuts and bolts as well! ....you and me are both cheap bastards I guess LOL Good luck and may she run nicely for years to come. Cheers

[@garymerklein3052]

Congrats on the new service truck, Warren!

[@Will-gn5of]

Cant wait to see this thing cleaned up and running like a champ.

[@kellykonoske91]

Thank you for your service Warren. Todd the retired trucker. ( Ive been faked out by the silver OSP rigs too, I guess they'll all be that color eventually )

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thank you.

[@jerrykegel2678]

Darn nice toy! Good Luck in your endeavors!

[@stevevogelman3360]

Nice, nice rig. Congratulations you deserve it.

[@Dr_Dungheap]

Congrats on the new service wagon! Hope it serves you well.

[@jggunner1636]

Awesome truck you got there I'm happy for you can't wait to see you working out of it.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thanks

[@robertstibz9506]

I was really looking forward to seeing this video Warren, seemed like days and days waiting lol. The truck looks like a good investment. Enjoyed watching.

[@tommygreist9560]

Nice truck,Nice welder and crane.A great buy.

[@thecrazysomething]

Awesome. You deserve it. Can't wait to see you using it. 😎

[@ibuiltamurderbot2924]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that truck wasn't sold by the previous owner. It was a repo.

[@Jarret888]

Awesome truck 👍👍👍

[@spinyheghog]

New truck or old truck what matters is what you can do with it. My advice is to keep that divider in and attach a elastic net to keep things in the bed

[@tambrath]

Looks like you have a great new truck the new welder on it and all the leads is a bonus

[@carltongreen1979]

Congratulations! on the new truck. Mr Warren

[@scottwilke411]

Are u kidding better than nothing , that's funny coming coming from a guy with a kick ass service truck , good score !!! Keep on keeping on 😁

[@barrychouinard4019]

At my day job we have a few locations with equipment concentrations and we employ / vendor relationship with mobile mechanics basically on a full time basis. You are correct in saying a mobile mechanic is his own breed of animal. He'll work out of his truck day after day, in cold, rain, snow everything. If you transferred him to work an inside mechanic job, they would quit in a heart-beat to get back onto a truck. They are their own type.

[@maytagmark2171]

People just rig stuff when they are getting ready to sell. I watched you repair the engine and start using it. Tickled for yah!!

[@heavymachinery2843]

Great truck good luck with it

[@rickyboyz1006]

Good pick man!

[@martinbustillos6246]

Awsome service truck well deserved .God blees
