[@jamesmoran8335]

So being a union operating engineer I have no idea why operators get paid more than mechanics. I’m impressed every time I watch them work. If the machine don’t run it’s not making money and all I have to do is show up with my lunch box and a fully charged cell phone and these guys are rolling around in gear oil and have to buy thousands in tools and work in all weather. Being an operator I support mechanics making more than me for sure.

[@anthonygarcia8632]

You only need the mechanic if you suck at operating ur machine or if something breaks in my opinion

[@ramandbang9499]

@@anthonygarcia8632well yeah 😂

[@b4ptist]

yes because machines will run forever and never need maintenance oh wait they have about a million general use wear points that need replacing. @@anthonygarcia8632

[@internetexpert8153]

​@anthonygarcia8632 even with a perfect operator.... the machine will eventually need a repair

[@davidhorner5655]

Depends on where you work with that little detail about the pay…or the mechanics on your jobs have been lying to you 😂

[@Dcalvert92]

Honestly after working 60 hours this week as a CAT mechanic, I have no idea why I come home and watch other guys work but here I am. Get after it fellas! Cheers from SoCal

[@andrewwitchell2708]

Free knowledge. That's why

[@DusterNutbar]

Cams an expert when it comes to pre loads and friction

[@TekamoHD]

lol

[@TheValthar]

Just realized that this video was posted all of an hour ago, I was looking in the recommended for PART 2, guess I'll have to wait. That's what you get for grabbing my attention while doing homework. Love the vids y'all.

[@TekamoHD]

which year you in? Part 2 is being worked on right now.

[@-Nobody-1]

I have good days and bad days my goal is to be as motivated as these guys on a daily basis. Mental health is real, take care of yourselves before burn out. Its a tough climb back up hill. Thanks for the videos.

[@TekamoHD]

thanks for the support bro!

[@ericd7761]

Stay strong brother

[@-Nobody-1]

@@ericd7761 thank you

[@mikemuzzell5167]

HUGE THANkS to ARC asphalt. For letting the camera crew in to film. Great job loopCam. Garth fawking nailed the repair on cams snowflake removal tool. Now it’s got some strength to it.

[@JeffS96]

As a BC based truck driver, i appreciate y'all keeping these guys going. Our roads need it after we pound the crap out them.

[@TekamoHD]

Garth does amazing work all over BC. We're very lucky to have him take care of us for sure.

[@daniellundquest8252]

Thank you Tekamo and thank you Garth for trusting Cam enough to work and film his work on your equipment.

[@TekamoHD]

glad you liked it bro!

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

Thanks mark

[@hvacr_wa4282]

I’m a commerical refrigeration service tech and I can relate to this style of work, long hours and sometimes you gotta get shit up and running no matter what

[@TekamoHD]

f yeah bro. Thanks for watching!

[@BrokenBeyondRepair]

These diag videos are true mechanics work, being able to work through problems / decipher what the fuck the operator is complaining about is the hardest part of the job in my opinion. Thanks for the videos!

[@scooby074]

Thanks Garth. good on you for letting the guys film!!!

[@z0mgbananas]

you know you've made it when you have to put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video, THANKS GARTH

[@TekamoHD]

hahahah ya dont blame us

[@jeremiahhartley4566]

Most difficult job I ever did was a cat mh 370 engine and main hydro pump swap on a barge in the river in January it was brutal plus my service truck was probably 1/8 mile away up the hill so anytime you needed a tool it was a 20 minute trip

[@DJGamesHD]

Awesome ! I can’t wait for the next episode ! As a diesel apprentice myself it’s very good to watch well explained videos to help me remember things better

[@TekamoHD]

The next one is being worked on right now! In the mean time an episode of After Hours just released

[@jeramieworkman4680]

Carson gone? Just subscribed recently. Love seeing inside these yellow paint machines, we get way more ag&turf stuff at work than construction. By orders of magnitude. Resealed one wheel motor on a skid steer, and that’s it, I’m hooked. Love what I do. Always learning. Thanks Tekamo and thanks Garth.

[@carterjenkins1700]

Thanks Garth! Thanks to everyone who puts together these videos, I love watching! I am attending school to become a HDET and these videos have lots of great tips and tricks. Keep it up!

[@TekamoHD]

Huge credits to the equipment owners like Garth that let us film and fortishd.com/ for sponsoring the series and helping keep it alive. Awesome to hear you're in school for HD. Best of luck man, you picked the best career path.

[@zorthomis6497]

I love working in the shop work at a strip mine for 15 years Moorpark California everybody at the lunch table all talked about what they were all doing at lunch time everybody was happy and they were into their work it was a good time 25 years ago

[@dylan_photoshop5355]

THANKS GARTH! For helping this wonderful channel upload some more amazing content for me to watch and learn from!

[@TekamoHD]

thanks for watching dylan, really appreciate the support!

[@williamleonardo8478]

Bacon say what they want but that smell is the synthetic oil that wears out and when it wears out it falls off the map in the day we use 85 140 and we had way less failures I remember working on trucks that had 500,000 miles in the rear end oil and probably only been changed one time is the oil did not stink like wore out synthetic oil which only lasts half as much time

[@averagejoe9234]

[@maxpuppy96]

I am a grumpy old man and not a fan of John Deere common rail engines, I like the old timed injection pumps with the pencil injectors. I know they use more fuel but they are so much more reliable.

[@geraldprien3809]

How has using the air tools treated you Cam? Been waiting to hear an update on that. Also kind of coincidence watching a engine rebuild Mike I too did a Duetz rebuild this week for an air compressor. Keep bustin them knucles Gents!!

[@DieselDaycare]

Awesome as always, these videos are great ! Always better in the field than stuck in an office hey Cam !

[@TekamoHD]

thanks Tim you're the man

Back to the rebuttal of Union mechanic versus Union operator it is true the union mechanic has to buy all the tools and do all the shity work but the contracts for some reason do not we get 35 cents an hour for our to allowance one ranch cost 50 bucks you add it up how long it's going to take to pay for that wrench or broken sockets because the companies do not care or supply have a nice day

[@sh3lbot]

I still love you Garth and Danny
