@@AWBepi loving my occupation has always made me wonder if I’m working. 😉

Thank you.

@@billfoster213, that’s the world we live in now. 😬

@JoelHellwegeTheConnector yup, disposable everything...

@JoelHellwegeTheConnector yep. 2 starter changes in a parking spot with parking bumper. With the access behind the Radiator, it was a bitch of a good time.

@@billfoster213 Now you are a professional at changing it! 😎

@@jesus85ize, my friend, you must not be in the Pump business. This method of testing motors is what the largest motor company, Franklin Electric, teaches us in their seminars. What this means is the lower bearing on this motor is either not put together properly or the motor has been dropped during transport or something, not anything good. And installing a motor that has the wrong shaft height is guaranteed to require removal shortly thereafter.

It literally says it should clear the shaft right on the test gauge. Why are you even arguing, when it's printed on black and white right on the gauge?

Ignorance spreads rapidly on the internet

if its not an issue why have a gauge for it? no one wants to replace pumps prematurely

@@Magnatarvillin, those bolts connect to the pump liquid and above the motor. This is the exact way that the motor manufacturer tells us to check their motors. Normally, we have to check used motors, but now, in these sad days, we have to check the new motors coming in. My point on sharing this is that those of us in the pump business had better be checking at the very least our deep set motors, so we don’t lose a half a day to a day of work and having to replace them.

@@brandongrassilli813, OK, for what purpose? We’ve actually used this tooling this way consistently without a problem since 2020.

@@perryrush6563, this property was served with water from a subdivision nearby who had to cut this property off from Water - they exceeded their limit of connections.. We drilled a 500 foot bone dry hole. Then, we dug a Test hole below the pond and there was no water there. Then we noticed that there was some saturation on the side of the pond between the pond and the road. So we dug down and didn’t see any water until about 7 feet down. The pond water level is pretty much level with the road. And in other videos that I’ve got posted, we show the little trickle of water coming in. that amount of water filled up the excavated hole with about 2000 gallons of water, we estimate. And this water is gorgeous water. So we are very thankful for the pond nearby that can add pressure to the water to squeeze it through the ground, and the ground cleans that water up. And yes, we will be recommending and probably installing a UV light for this client. But here in South West, Colorado, these are the things that we have to do to get people water. This is one very thankful client.

@@joypedersen5534 , 😁🕺 Go Trump! It’s a good day.

@@BillRand-v1q , they make us “real” drillers . . . 😎

@@neudorf1986, it’s a weld on ring bit style of shoe. The outer ring of the bit locks in and spins with the pilot bit that’s in the air hammer. It WILL drill through it.

@@JayCharland-lg5bz, love it!

@@TheDriller571, in the Rocky Mountains, hear in the southwest, we rarely ever see speeds like that. This was a lot of fun to watch this.

@@thedude2601, so true. I really should’ve put wood blocks that I actually have, under the trailer. I hate being human. 😋

It's a shelf that keeps the grease from ending up on the truck bed below, or worse, parts in bins below.

@JoelHellwegeTheConnector so it's a gaurd

@@thedude2601, agreed.

It was a walk-behind that would dig 24" to maybe 36" deep.

@@Carson-o9l, they have been drilling this same way for at least 40 years. I’m pretty sure that if they had any problems with this tooling that they would’ve switched to something else. There are usually 200 feet or less, though.

@@thedude2601 😅

@@IanKemp-ex2my, this is one of the reasons why I’m being very open about how we build our wells. Over many years in our area, anyone who has used silica, sand, or fine sand has ended up with wells that have been plugged up. In fact, a large animal preserve near us spent $100,000 on hauling in silica sand from Colorado Springs. This was about 15 years ago. They built the most bodacious infiltration Gallery Well with that sand. It plugged up. Two years later, they had nothing. We’ve seen the same thing happen in our Drilled Wells. Whatever we have been required by an engineer to use silica sand, and the smaller slots, the well simply plugs up. and again, I stress that this is for our area. Other parts of the country are very different in the way there need to be packed with sand or gravel. I think the difference is that we have the mancos shale here, and the little particulates of that she’ll come through and attach to the sand, which is just too small. A little bit of that clay needs to come through and it can be dealt with on the top side of the well with Water Treatment. However, our couple hundred of Gallery Well’s over the past 25 years don’t have any material coming through. So this is what works, and I don’t really have a good explanation of why. Also, in traveling around the country, seeing all the different Well Drilling styles, I have learned to ask questions about why something is done a certain way instead of stating that it’s wrong and it needs to be done in a different way. I’m amazed at what works in some areas doesn’t work in other areas.

@@caseygross7564 😁🕺

@@dougs6962, I don’t know what that means.

God damn....

Pipe needs split to be removed. Things get stuck. Cut a groove, it removes the outer compression, and the inner thing can be removed a bit easier. Sometimes the inner thing is in contact with the earth. Sometimes the inner is inside another pipe. I wouldn't know, I specifically avoid those type of jobs. First because I would never have thought to do that. Secondly, when I do think to go that path, demo a working model to the boss. He will have some 100yr old solution, that doesn't actually fix the problem, but look ls good on paper. I love 100ur old tech, but I can't stand doing plans we all know will fail.

@@gedion4000, there was a 50 foot well in an alluvial area that was a bottom draw well only. Which means that there were no perforations. When I come in to an old well like this and a client wants to see if they can get more water, then punching some holes inside of it to see, if more water can be accessed is something that can be done. In this situation, we did find out that there was more water, but it carried in sand. So ultimately the well was no good and a new properly constructed well needed to be drilled.

@@matthiasknutzen6061, I have a Prius V that I travel in. I don’t really have any area that a phone holder can be placed without it blocking something. Also, I am in and out of two to five vehicles a day. Different trucks. So this really does help. 😅
