I wouldn’t stress about the videos, everything else needs priority… we’ll be just as happy as having a video everyday or every so often. We’ll watch them as they come out👍
Wes: There is no need to apologize for being busy or, more importantly for placing a priority on Mrs. Wes, Kiddo, Max and your business. If you read the comments, I think you will see that we’re all great fans of your work and very grateful for any content you can provide.
Would like to come see you and Matt Diesel next month. But I'm getting a new grandson on Sept. 10 and I gotta make sure he's started off right. You know, cussing lessons, what tools are and how to identify and proper way to throw when angry, how to pickup women, what TH-camrs to watch and who to ignore.
@@mrswes Thank ye kindly ma'am. He's number two, his brother just turned 9 and well............ Let's just say there's never a dull moment and we all know his principal real well, too well. He started this year on August 5 and there's already been visits. As a teacher I'm guessing you have known a few boys like him.
Always a pleasure to see your bonus footage: city boy gets to learn something about the farm country. Barn swallows herding insects, who'd of thunk it?
Look we are you're guests here. you have invited us to "watch Wes work" keep doing what you need to do to stay happy and keep you're family happy, We are all just visitors here. The content is super great and it shows by the number of subscribers and customers that you have, Be happy,get the work done that you need to get done and us subscribers will watch the videos when they are available.. NUFF SAID......
I really like your channel but the thing I appreciate the most is the fact that I don't hear any swearing. I realize that you probably edit them out seeing that motor vehicles seem to bring out the worst in all of us where expletives are concerned but two thumbs up for keeping it clean. If I lived in the States I'd definitely like to shake your hand, keep the videos rolling both long and short. Cheers from Australia.
I do hvac for a living, tiny leaks are the death of technicians. Dont like using dye, my fieldpiece meter gets me in the general area then use soap bubbles or ultrasonic meter. But we do have cheap customers that dont want to pay for a extended diagnostic, so have use dye a couple times and use my cheap gauge set because it makes a mess. Great job Wes, always enjoy knowing that there is still honest hard working Americans. Just this week had a refrigerant leak in a wall for a ductless unit, customer drove nail in wall to hang picture and caused a tiny puncture.
Dude, no need to apologize for either the quantity or quality of your vids...anything you're able to post is appreciated! Seems like all the good mechanics are plowed under these days...my next door neighbor is a mechanic (and a damn good one with his own 6-bay shop) and he's been absolutely buried in work since the pandemic started
wes,dont worry too much about us.we know mrs.wes & the kiddo are top priority.we know your doing your best to juggle everything you have going on.we will be here patiently awaiting your videos when you have the time to make them.family is first, shop work is 2nd, videos 3rd.am sure most veiwers would agree,thats how it should be.we'll still be here bud.thanks.
😂😅😂😅 The ETG razz was funny. I’m sure he chuckled too, as he’s good natured like you Wes. Small AC leaks are like evil murder mysteries, by the time you find the culprit, your so mad you want it to burn in hell.
You are welcome to stop by while you are in the area. I guess I need to look into if I can take off that day to come crash the Expo since its only a half hour away!
I'm glad to hear that you have been busy earning money. You're very honest to admit your errors. We all make them. Barn swallows... well, when a nesting pair decides to use the top edge of your living room window, they're not wanted. I had to chase them often until they got the idea not to return this year. The windows and siding were a mess.
Agree with the other subscribers...there is nothing to apologize for...you are taking care of your family and running a business. Keep up the good work and remember..."...get to the chopper."
Love all of your videos Wes. Just can’t get enough of the humor you inject in your narrations. Don’t stress about the videos, your fans will be there when you eventually get them out.
Wow! You have been plowed under pretty good this year. I noticed the backhoe was back in a recent vid. Massey stuff is usually good but I think once Aggco got ahold of Massey a lot of older parts got pitched into a dumpster. I mentioned to Diesel Creek he should bring up the transmission from his Autocar and you two take it apart and rebuild it. Great content for both channels. Well, I think so. Al B from Ohio.
Hey Wes, don't apologise for being busy, I would rather watch one of our videos when you get a chance to put one together than some of the other mass produced videos. I see some other comments asking why you work on the old machinery that should have been retired years ago, because you can, and by working on what people bring in, you get busy because people will bring in anything that needs fixing.
No need to appologise Wes..i think its amazing you get the vids out that you do...im busy in my shop and wouldnt ever have the time to video my stuff so gold star for you! ..I had an MF 40 (here in the UK) very similar to that one of yours there..much the same problems and in the end she got scrapped as it was way too much cost and effort in saving her. Engine was still good tho..those perkins 3 cylinders are absolutely bombproof!
Gold star for me, when you started talking about the Mustang I said " bet its the condenser". Might be time to think of getting some help, if you can find any. Your boy sounded so grown up " mom needs your help" Thanks you Wes, I look forward to every video.
No need to apologize, Wes! Your channel is great just as it is! You have quite the family of barn swallows! They are bug eating machines! When I lived in the country in Central Il. we had the same family come back to our old Victorian farm house every year! They make a nesting mess, but they sure do take care of the bug problem! I can't imagine how bad the bugs would be with out them! Cheep-Cheep!!!!
I can imagine the family /work thing is hard enough to juggle, let alone doing the you tube thing on top. Things go awry when you are tired or get inundated. How about a vacation with the family? Don’t worry about us, we’ll still be here.
Wes, Sorry about all the parts you couldn’t find on the MF (little pun) but you’re the best for putting your heart into doing it right. He’s a very very lucky customer! Mrs Wes, seems you found more leaks than hubby did. Good to see ya.
It sucks when you have those kinds of problems like you do down the tractor but we've all done it. And you took care of it like an honest man. Good on you.
You're living the dream Wes. Self employed with no boss and busy with jobs. A lot of people would be envious. Congratulations on your success. Getting the job done being in demand with family at your toes is heaven!
No complaining, that's the only way to get experience, if it was easy they would do it themselves. They are paying for your university education, and giving you a tool box of special skills, win-win.
A Phoned in Video is Better Than No Video, Appreciate You Having Us Along. Insurance Companies SUCK! Every Type Of Insurance & Every Company, Shop Looks Good Though.
Old ag machine shop owner here - I checked inventory for that seal, computer said I stocked it and it was zeroed out but I looked anyway, all around it, even 2 3/8 x 2 3/4 and 2 3/8 x 3 but no 2 1/8. Sorry. 2 1/8 x 2 1/2 was a common size for me on a particular utility line truck boom system I worked on. I have some tips regarding V-pack to U-seal conversion if interested; have likely done thousands over the decades. Also, consider building a hydraulic test unit if you work on a fair amount of hydraulic stuff. I built one back in the 70's and it's still faithfully working. Saved a lot of reworks and found a lot of nagging problems. Thanks for the content, much of it is quite familiar!
Wes don't allow the negative comments to ruin your enthusiasm for your channel. Most people are not that way and we appreciate what you are doing for the community. Great job!
I think we all appreciate the work that you do is to earn your wages i my self love watching you work and talk us through the process as it unfolds. So please don’t think that we take you and your work for granted
I wish I could meet all yall, ive been learning a ton from your videos, and really getting into how things work and what I want to get into later on in my life. You are awesome Wes! Keep up the awesome work and I hope you have a great day at the end of each day. Watching your videos in combination with a good few others you mentioned has really been a great influence. Thank you and everyone else who make this content for people to watch and maybe even learn something. Keep on, keeping on!
G'day mate hey it's great your busy would be a worry if you were too quiet .steady steady don't worry about your videos coming out we understand your busy buddy we will wait for quality like you produce thanks for what we get and good luck with it mate 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you Wes for doing AC work the correct way. I do AC work like crazy in the summer at our shop and can't stand when people think using the little cans is the same as using a real AC machine.
I can't speak for any of your other subscribers, but I will watch your videos. Doesn't matter if they are shorter ones like the Mustang or longer ones. Just keep making them when you can.
It's thanks to watching you that TH-cam introduced me to "HOWBOUTCHA!" Hank, Diesel creek, South Main Auto, and Vice Grip Garage. You, along with the rest, gave me the courage to film my shonky attempts to fix my stuff. I love seeing your shops and vehicles. Oh to have that set up in the UK. Long may you all continue! Jim.
I like big blue leak detector....works very well on low pressure systems... many times i would spray a possible leak and walk away for awhile and return to a micro bubble growth.... 30 years of hvac only seen electronic sniffers used by salesman.... nitrogen pressure easily managed and allows for "max pressure"....
Thanks, nice show, as always. the closing reminds me of my youth in Indiana, nobody i know these days knows what I mean when I mention 'detassling'. Have a Great Day!
Thank you again Wess and Wife. We got to meet Matt at the National Pike steam show. Had a great time. I would love to go to Kentucky but I can't get off work. But hopefully at some future date. Matt is a really good guy as I'm sure you already know. Maybe on future visit to Pennsylvania. Have a wonderful day and God bless.
I run Enviro-Safe refrigerant in all my old R12 vehicles and it has the dye in it, definitely the easiest way to find leaks. I use soapy water on the service ports.
@@davidnull5590 I actually have 2 cans left in my R12 stash that I bought years ago before they stopped selling it but the price of buying additional cans is outrageous.
after the cars been sitting off for a while, run the sniffer on the condensate drain hose, if it shrieks, there's an evap. leak, and often some dye will appear there.
I can agree, there are some days that feel like weeks. I remember this one time I had to fix a suspension noise on some early 2000's Audi. It was an almost imperceptible noise, but my colleagues assured me it was there. Because of German engineering the entire front suspension had to be replaced; and it comes in many parts like it's comprised of erector set logic. There are two separate upper control links, at least two lower control links, and it's all steel studs into aluminum knuckles. Naturally I broke a knuckle on disassembly. Three weeks and $1700 later I was able to put the car together by the end of that week. I got it together, and the customer immediately hated the way it drove. I think I got it by the third alignment, but it was also lowered so the geometry was impossible to attain. I die a little inside every time I see an Audi sedan, and pray I don't draw that straw.
You've got a real business, we get it, no worries. I look forward to how the Deere with the cracked head and block turns out, and seeing the Massey get worked on though!
You change the tip on the sniffer when it gets dirty, you change the diode inside the sniffer body when it won't alert very well. If you expose it to a large amount of refrigerant it will degrade it rapidly.
Hi Wes I have been overdosing on TH-cam, currently on day 5 of a 14-day quarantine couped up in an Airbnb, a requirement of westward interstate travel here in Australia. I remember back in the day when Australia had a car industry, we were fed the catch cry “built tough for Aussie conditions”. I can tell you our conditions can’t be too bad I’ve never seen rust and rot like that! And the cold, in one of your videos you speak of -15 degrees C, That’s just not right! (No wonder you use the F scale it makes it sound warmer). A bad winter for us is one that lasts a whole day. Keep up the good work.
No worries Wes. Your loyal fans get it. That little mini-me of yours alone demands an inordinate amount of your time (we raised 4 so we sympathize), let alone the demands of your customers, and of course Mrs Wes has priorities also. Warren over at Western Truck & Tractor has been buried for weeks with work and I don't know how he has any time to make videos. Hang in there Wes, we'll support you no matter what.
Hmmm, Pup walking away from camera; looks like a contract dispute still going on. Pup needs more air time and mice. His favorite teacher detective is Columbo!
Wes: We've used this stuff for years and have yet to have a vehicle that it did not work in. In fact, I'm currently using it in a 99 olds 88 and it still isn't leaking after two years. It's waaay cheaper than replacing a condenser. The stuff is called: AC Pro A/C Pro® Super Seal A/C Stop Leak Kit (3 oz.) P.S. Make sure though that you put it in and at least have some refrigerant go in AFTER using it or it might stop up the hose.
Don't stress about the videos. We love the fact you take the time to post them on TH-cam. We will happily watch what you post when you can post it. You have higher priorities than this, which is fine. We are grateful you provide the content you do.
Your videos give me a way to chill out and relax after I get destroyed with work. You deserve to relax and enjoy your wonderful family. We will watch a video if it starts in winter and ends in summer if that’s how long it takes, let the damned corn grow and live your life guilt free. You don’t owe anybody anything.
Wes, thanx for another informative vid ! Your honesty for your mistakes is very impressive and reflects your good character as a business owner ! Self videos are very time consuming we understand, keep up the good work .
I wouldn’t stress about the videos, everything else needs priority… we’ll be just as happy as having a video everyday or every so often. We’ll watch them as they come out👍
I'm happy with "phoned in videos"!
Second that im in America that month too do will try to come by
Yes to that FE
Wes: There is no need to apologize for being busy or, more importantly for placing a priority on Mrs. Wes, Kiddo, Max and your business.
If you read the comments, I think you will see that we’re all great fans of your work and very grateful for any content you can provide.
Wes, take your time, you can't make videos if you're out of business. Family and business come first, we'll still be here.
Wes does all that heavy duty work while Abom indicates a part in his 4 jaw then cooks ribs and chicken 😆
. Always.
@@tsw199756 With the new shop, maybe he will start doing some work again.
Opposite problem - he has too much business and not enough time to make videos.
Yep I was watching Mustie also when Wes popped up on my screen.
Yep, the Sunday morning one two punch: Mustie1 & Wes....
Any video from you are highly appreciated
I admire you for your commitment Wes. Keep up the good work, but don't be too hard on yourself.
I miss the sound of tractors off in the distance. Grew up with that... Good memories of simpler times...
Wes, there's a reason old people know more than young people. You're getting there.
It's great that your busy Wes, business and family first, video when you can. Polished or not, we'll keep watching and learning.
Would like to come see you and Matt Diesel next month. But I'm getting a new grandson on Sept. 10 and I gotta make sure he's started off right. You know, cussing lessons, what tools are and how to identify and proper way to throw when angry, how to pickup women, what TH-camrs to watch and who to ignore.
oh, you mean “cruise chicks, and suck face”...
(a favorite line from one of my favorite movies “On Golden Pond”)...
Congrats on the new grandson...
Congratulations!!!

You change the tip on the sniffer when it gets dirty, you change the diode inside the sniffer body when it won't alert very well. If you expose it to a large amount of refrigerant it will degrade it rapidly.
Hi Wes I have been overdosing on TH-cam, currently on day 5 of a 14-day quarantine couped up in an Airbnb, a requirement of westward interstate travel here in Australia. I remember back in the day when Australia had a car industry, we were fed the catch cry “built tough for Aussie conditions”. I can tell you our conditions can’t be too bad I’ve never seen rust and rot like that! And the cold, in one of your videos you speak of -15 degrees C, That’s just not right! (No wonder you use the F scale it makes it sound warmer). A bad winter for us is one that lasts a whole day. Keep up the good work.
No worries Wes. Your loyal fans get it. That little mini-me of yours alone demands an inordinate amount of your time (we raised 4 so we sympathize), let alone the demands of your customers, and of course Mrs Wes has priorities also. Warren over at Western Truck & Tractor has been buried for weeks with work and I don't know how he has any time to make videos. Hang in there Wes, we'll support you no matter what.
Nice find on that condenser @Watch Wes Work
We are here when you are ready Wes. No worries. It’s been a pleasure to be part of your journey.
Thank you for your effort yourself & family. Really appreciated. Grazie Mille
Hmmm, Pup walking away from camera; looks like a contract dispute still going on. Pup needs more air time and mice. His favorite teacher detective is Columbo!
just one more thing
Wes: We've used this stuff for years and have yet to have a vehicle that it did not work in. In fact, I'm currently using it in a 99 olds 88 and it still isn't leaking after two years. It's waaay cheaper than replacing a condenser. The stuff is called: AC Pro A/C Pro® Super Seal A/C Stop Leak Kit (3 oz.) P.S. Make sure though that you put it in and at least have some refrigerant go in AFTER using it or it might stop up the hose.
Don't stress about the videos. We love the fact you take the time to post them on TH-cam. We will happily watch what you post when you can post it. You have higher priorities than this, which is fine. We are grateful you provide the content you do.
No apology necessary. Life takes priority!! Just happy to any video's.
Nice that Mrs. Wes was able to confirm your diagnosis. Great job and great video. No apologies necessary, Wes.
Your videos give me a way to chill out and relax after I get destroyed with work. You deserve to relax and enjoy your wonderful family. We will watch a video if it starts in winter and ends in summer if that’s how long it takes, let the damned corn grow and live your life guilt free. You don’t owe anybody anything.
Love your videos Wes. Do what you can it’s obvious your swamped. It’s very impressive the amount of different equipment you can fix.
Hang in there buddy, we are with you.
The thing I like about your videos is the variety of equipment and repairs, but of course that means you are busy actually repairing things.
Wes, thanx for another informative vid ! Your honesty for your mistakes is very impressive and reflects your good character as a business owner ! Self videos are very time consuming we understand, keep up the good work .
Wes: STOP apologizing for being busy you work, you have a family and life outside of youtube it's all good. Love your content man.
Love watching your videos Wes. Keep up the good work.
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info
