Changing a large crank on the side of the freeway, there's no way any of us in the developed nations could compete. Much respect from the u. s. a.

[@bend8353]

Developed countries have much more developed trucks. Also the budget to to the thing to a shop.

[@munnumkhalid]

​@@bend8353not at all todays engine are more frevile and requires more advance shops too fix them and down time is Crazy.

[@johnnoe9682]

Also.....hand tools. Lol

[@jeissonrangel1588]

Bro if they could do it on a nice and comfy place with all the right tools they would 😂 stop romanticizing poverty lmao

[@deebeez4000]

Full respect for these guys. Field Mechanics are skilled.

Hard physical work in unfavorable conditions, all in a days work. Nothing but respect for these men and their 'grit'...

[@ibrahimchowdhury7591]

This is an honest and hardworking man. ❤

[@freddog5218]

I am always amazed at the resourcefulness and grit shown by the men who own and fix these trucks they would have made great pioneers. hard working and three never say die attitude. god bless these men.

[@doacarnage]

All in a days work for these guys. If it was me I would be talking about this repair for years. I’m so used to hoists and air tools that this would feel like the end of the world. Lol

[@MarcusKeeler]

And, just like that, the Bouncy-Castle delivery man was back on the road.

[@deanmartin2332]

Is that what that thing is ?😂

[@bib4211]

A lot of know it all people giving comments here! Most have never worked on a engine at all in their lives but know that this is no good. Have done this kind of repair myself on my jeep truck in the driveway (replaced all the bearings on rods and crank shaft) Truck was a daily use vehicle for fiveteen years after that repair and never had mechanical engine problems. Sometimes you have to work with what you have when low on budget!

[@stevehicks8944]

Balderdash! You got lucky. How do I know this? Because building engines is what I did for a living for many years. You NEVER attempt to re-bearing an engine in absolute filth!

[@Jimmy59479]

😂 and at the end everybody stood up and clapped 👏👏👏

[@philipegoulet448]

​@@stevehicks8944 It has nothing to do with luck. It's funny to see people comment that this kind of repair will never work because they are a master technician and work in a clean shop. You don't need a clean shop to do this. They have been doing it at the side of the road on millions of different trucks for 50 years with no issues. In fact, i'd be ready to bet these trucks will probably outlive every single engine you assemble.

[@boomer150]

I find video's like this amazing. The very definition of "doing what I can with what I have" All the simplest of tools, leverage. Not even so much as a ratchet set. Let alone the power tools that modern mechanics use daily. Power ratchets and such. Impact guns, hydraulic lifts. Replacing a crank shaft on the side of the road would be unthinkable in any developed nation.

[@ThisManTriggeredMe]

Who else said "Click" when he tightened those rod caps?

[@asid731]

I’m so thankful for my power tools

Спасибо, что коленвал не заварили

[@richleskovec4075]

What’s most amazing is they got that thing all back together with all the bolts in a pile of parts. No separation or keeping track of things.

[@TeezerDriz]

Maybe if the truck wasn't overloaded the crank wouldn't snap. The laws of physics.

[@eyesodd]

I mean it's not bad for a 50+yr old truck, everything breaks eventually.

[@ChrisR]

Couple oil changes here and there might have helped too.

[@MrSagerific95]

Crankshafts don’t support the weight of the payload…? Sooo…

[@gideongouvs5559]

Unbelievable --- but admirable ----- these people are the poorest of the poor ----- but they have grit and tenacity that CANNOT be matched by the western world with their laziness and power tools

[@mlieser1230]

I was expecting the 3 wheeled cycle cart to appear to take the broken crankshaft to the machinist to have it welded and turned down.

[@hifiman4562]

The 3 wheel cart broke down on the side of the road. A 2 story house on top was just too much.

[@loedtree01]

I love watching how mechanics from different places work wonders what u can do when u dont have a multi millon dollar shops. But one thing i notice I havent seen yet in lot of these from there u never see them use a torq wrech or a torq pattern. Not saying they do not use one but never seen usen one any the videos i seen so far. Still some of the best watching videos.

[@user-gl3ps4sb1l]

После того как увидел что коленвал поставили несвареный перестал смотреть😂

[@NetzKanal]

Respect for these guys doing this on the open road with simpliest tools and this engine will for sure run far longer than any modern car 👌

[@jcbro86]

There are not enough people commenting on this dudes oversized load he was hauling!

[@hifiman4562]

It's like the giant mole on the church lady's face. We all see it but dare not comment.

[@hitekredneck109]

Holy geez these guys are extreme!! And notice how each man has his position and not much talking......just completely focused!!

[@evanjones7117]

God bless this mechanic. This is what they were in the past. A hero in your time of trouble. They would help you the best way they had available. Predators today waiting to rob you with a computer and air conditioning or 150,000+ dollar service truck. Greed God have mercy on us.

[@godarker2hell]

I was just waiting for the old crank to be carted off to the machine shop. 😂. But then they brought a new one out. 😢

[@elcochero1172]

Yes I was pleased to see that !! I am convinced that " Crankshaft Welds" are done for video footage and never actually get used again !!!

[@Razzaqabuali]

The driver had no time so that's why .😊

[@Steven91992]

At the beginning I'm surprised the dude collect the oil into a jug I thought for sure they would just it pour on the ground lol but then I realize they're probably going to put that dirty contaminated oil with metal back into the engine when they're done. 😂

[@littlesquirtthefireengine5478]

[@timeandmaterialsdanforth5511]

Oil is still worth money dirty.. They filter it and reconstitute the oil.. reuse.

​@@timeandmaterialsdanforth5511Does it get cold there ? It might be water.

[@mikesahle1193]

Thank you 🙏 and it is fixed well done 👍 please 🙏 enjoy driving it safely ☝️👍🎥👋☮️

[@tommybobommy9208]

Part of the reason this looks so easy is because this drivetrain looks at least about 30 years old, when they used to make things serviceable. Now a days most things, cars especially, are built for you to be forced to take it into the dealer for maintenance. That’s a big part of why mechanics need all the fancy tools now, because they’re forced to adapt to what people want.

[@Techie1224]

that thing like 45 years at least lol

[@henktulp4400]

You guys know your business!!! No better place to have a break down than Pakistan……

[@stevehicks8944]

REALLY? Precisely how many engines have you built? Me? Retired ASE Master Engine Machinist. Those bearings will have the life expectancy of mini mart sushi. There IS a valid reason WHY engines are assembled in the cleanest environment possible. This ISN’T the cleanest environment possible.

[@henktulp4400]

@@stevehicks8944 I am an educated, licensed and skilled mechanic with around 50 years of experience fixing cars,trucks, boats and much more… I have worked 8.5 years in the Seismic Industry as a senior mechanic, mosttimes in African and Middle-East countries, I KNOW in what conditions these guys have to work and I KNOW they are skilled!! Of course an overhaul is better done in a laboratory-like clean workshop…. and they know that too! But there is no such thing and the truck needs to be fixed now-now! They make the best of the situation!… and their feeling for mechanical parts is beyond doubt, make no mistakes about the mileage these vehicles make also after these repairs you critisize! How many engines I have built? I spent 5.5 years in Podgora, Croatia…. (3-2006 to 9-2011) Together with a Croatian mechanic I estimate we had around two engines taken apart…. every week… ranging from scooters and chainsaws to 20 litre Diesel engines of boats and generators…. mosttimes the job was ‘pola-general’ (meaning ‘half-overhaul’) ie. remove the head and pistons, check the condition of everything (while it is not yet broken!) clean everything, hone the cylindres, replace gaskets, valve seals and pistonrings and assemble everything…. Sometimes bigger jobs had to be done, make one decent engine out of two broken ones… and where needed we’ld take crankshafts, blocks and cylindreheads for reconditioning, boring, welding cracks aso. to a machineshop in Split. We worked mostly without documentation… relying on ‘mechanics-experience’ for torqueing bolts and judging condition of parts like bearings, cylindreheads and so on…. We gave ONE YEAR WARRANTY on every engine fixed and had very little issues…. I am sure ‘you’ know how it is all done in the ‘ideal world’…. and do a better job than ‘us’….. but while charging a multitude of what we charged many of our costumers were, and are, unable to afford that…. and are happy with our job!! If you don’t believe me call ANYONE in Podgora,Croatia, and ask them about the jobs performed by ‘Neno Budan’ (my Croatian friend) and ‘Hank mechanicar Nizozemats’ (Henk the Dutch mechanic)…. every time I go back for a holiday they BEG me to come back and stay there as a mechanic!!…. We must ‘ve done SOMETHING right….

[@hitekredneck109]

This was incredibly impressive. On the side of the road, no power tools, no gloves, probably 100 degrees. These poor guys probably didn’t make 100 bucks between them. Americans would have quit and went home after complaining for hours. Although installing main bearings with no assembly grease is a no no. So is no antifreeze in a radiator. 😂
