When routine maintenance gets EXPENSIVE 😳

- My well pump died, and since it's almost 800' deep, that's a problem! We started out doing some routine maintenance on the Western Star and @zackliftinternational4841 after the non stop couple weeks it had in some brutal weather conditions, but then the well company came out to do some diagnostic on our pump to confirm it was the problem. After checking everything out, they said they could be here the next morning to swap it out. So we had to change gears and get the pump house removed, and snow pile cleared. Ethan and I used the Zacklift in the most unconventional and amateur way possible to remove the house, and Grumpy brought his tractor over to clear the snow

Update, I ended up having to work most of the next day, and by the time I got home they were already wrapping up and done. Big thanks to Cascade Pump And Irrigation for getting my well back online FAST!
Awww shucks.
But I wanted to see your 800ft pipe...
Drill holes in all 4 corners of pumphouse and install eyelit lag bolts. Appy roof sealant on threads before running them in.
As for greasing the truck did he get the S-Cam tubes and also the seat. Not sure if that is one that takes grease but, most western star seats do and if accordian skirt is on it it can still be that style. Some have holse cut for the grease fittings. Almost everyone forgets to do them. That and steering boxes and steering shafts by the firewall and some have inside cab steering shaft grease fittings.
Well gosh dang it 😒 You could have set up a camera on time lapse if you really cared about us😂😂😂😂JK 😜 😅 🙃 😂
If you put a container on either side of your "truckshop", you can get a container shelter to connect the 2 and work out of the snow / rain / sun
“LaDelle on a well”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should turn that into 2024s Christmas shirts
@@12pawsinnI want a sticker of "I never cuss, cussing is bullshit".
So instead of taking down the Christmas decorations, you just remove the building. What a time saver! BRILLIANT! 👍👍
Almost 40 years ago my late wife and I bought our acreage. I replaced five well pumps in 11 years. I know more about well pumps than I ever intended to! Our well was a 36 inch diameter augured well 300 feet deep. We had a 1 hp pump 280 feet down. When I put in our six well pump, I finally had all of the information and skills to determine that the reason my well pumps had been failing was because The wire was too small for the length of the run and the size of the pump. So I put the wire in one size larger than what I needed according to specifications. That was the cheapest pump I ever purchased, and it is still working 30 years later without fail. Make sure they have the proper size wire on that if you have not already. Awesome video demonstrating the Zacklifts true adaptability to whatever you have to tow!😊
Yeah even with the right size wire for the amps it pulls, you need to figure what the voltage drop is for the length of wire you’re running. And size accordingly 👍. I’m thinking the you lose about 3amps for every 100 feet but I would have to look it up.
I do a lot of electrical work several years ago I ran #2 aluminum underground wire about 300 feet to a little outdoor barn that was 24/24 that the owner was making a work shop for a lot of woodworking equipment. He was wanting to do it cheaper so I just used a 30 amp screw in fuse box with two fuses instead of a breaker box, and fed several plugs off of it. After all he can only run one saw at a time.
Something about "when your favorite tool is a hammer, every job looks like a nail."
😮😂😂😂😂
Casey in his element proving the Zacklifts versatility. I find this so entertaining for some odd reason !
Not only that .. he is proving his versatility .. one moment the truck is Zacklift'ed .. the next its a trailer tower.
"cussing is bullshit" 😂
Need that in a T shirt lmao
That wa the BEST and exactly what I was going to comment on. Well done!
Zacklifts garden tractor, sounds like a plan. Time to build a 1 yard bucket to attach to the under reach and one of the winches can act as the dump mechanism.
I have to believe Zacklift is getting their "money's worth" out of this partnership. What a cool machine!
I love the maintenance days, everyone just thinks it’s easy hoping in the truck, but there is work before and after the work
Casey's on the road so often 'maintenance' can get behind, he knows its got to be done.
With maintenance videos, they can even provide some of the pay/cost for it...
@@tobiastho9639 Kind of the ...lubricating things is cheaper than buying new things
Change oil or do engine overhaul !!!
@@bobbyt2657 Yes, the graph of preventative maintenance versus replacing at failure looks a bit like an X on its side... there is a sweet spott for cost in the middle. But when lifes and oppotunitys depend on the machine you want to be towards more maintenance even tho its a bit more expensive money wise. Some times I watched people reparing airplanes and it can be verry interesting. There are some good habbits to learn from them.
Who needs onboard automatic greasing when you have an Ethan? GO ETHAN !!!
Casey, I do like your time you give us with perfect shows, I am in Australia luv the effect you put in this for us to watch, keep up the very enjoyable vids. . Best of shows n wishing this keeps going. .
Casey,
All you need now is a mower attachment and forks for the Zacklift. Have fun out there and stay safe.
That was the politest pintched finger i have ever seen
I never knew I needed a zacklift until now!!
It's great to see grumpy in the video...!!!!
GO GRUMPY GO....!!!!!
Ladell on a Well ! Love that comment.
The never ending thrills of having equipment and housing/farm.
I keep hearing that song
"We're gonna do some sketchy shit, doo da doo da...."
I like your style sir. I did heavy vehicle recovery in the military and noe live vicariously through your videos. Lol
Thank you guys, hope you are also doing maintenance on yourselfs.
That definitely deserves one more comment.
Liddell on a well Was Epic
It is good to see Ethan again. I haven't seen him in the last few videos.
I love it when it's "Boom Time" with Casey and Ethan.. Cheers.
Hello Casey , dang 800 foot well. I had a new well drilled last fall , at 120 feet we hit water and at 200 feet we were getting over 30 gallons a minute. So we stopped there. I am really happy that I did not have to go 800 feet! I have seen people in this area build a well insulated box over their water equipment and heat it with a 100 watt light bulb. It works , even at minus 40f! And Grumpy , absolutely he is the best! Thanks for taking us along and of course thumbs UP!!
One easy way to hide that paint damage on the fenders could be to get a roll of that red reflective tape and just hide it. With the added benefit of better visibility from the sides for oncoming traffic.
That’s not a terrible idea…
"LaDelle on a well"....CLASSIC! hahaha
Grumpy and his tractor time!!🚜 Endless FUN for him! Too bad Riley's sledding hill🛷❄☃didn't get to last longer! Mrs G
We got a bit of a break in de jobs.... because i stopped answering the phone for a bit. hahahahha got to love this guy :) love your content Casey! love from Holland!!
Casey, a idea that I have for your well house building is to fasten two 2x6 or 2x8 under your eves sticking out about one foot past the tin, giving you 4 pick points. Just a thought. Love your videos, I really enjoy the beautiful scenery in your videos. Love to see the well pump replacement.
Never ending! "MAINTENANCE " Thanks for sharing! 😊
The info U give us is AMAZING !!❤
Casey's version of, 'When all you have is a hammer'. Next week we will see Casey actually use the Zacklift as a hammer to install fence posts. It's called having Vision and Imagination, being able to see what you CAN do then making it happen. Well done,
Why not.... He already posted a video of him using it to take out the trash 🤣😂😂
Not with a Zacklift, but I have removed and installed fence posts with a wrecker similar to his little one!! A wrecker of any size is a helluva tool.
I dig Casey's Zach Lift commercials.
I'd love to see the well work, honestly. Another fun video, buddy!
Glad everything worked out alright with maintenance and the well house move. Stay safe and healthy.
I really enjoy watching your channel. I love your dry sarcastic sense of humor. Keep it up.
Yeah, that Zacklift is the bomb. Amazing versatility.
Great video - you three are my "go to" evening TH-cam entertainment. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Casey, Get "Well" soon! 😁
Love the look of your new grill and front bumper, and it’s all about the chrome, can’t wait to see it on the ZackLift
I absolutely love this channel so much. Your personality. Casey is absolutely hilarious, Ethan’s all right too lol no but all seriousness you and Ethan together are hilarious combo. Feel like I’m hanging out my buddies watching you guys. The jokes are perfectly time as well.
Hi Casey, i just found your channel. I enjoy all your material very enjoyable to watch. I'll be watching all your videos.
You'll be one of my everyday watches. Learning a lot about towing. Keep up the great work
I feel ya Casey. Just had our pump replaced yesterday only 280' deep at a cost of 7k
I did mine by myself 295 feet last year I was sore for a week but only cost me the price of a new pump like $620 I wondered how much it would have cost to have some do it for me
30+ year old well, galvanized pipe had pin holes. If I had the equipment (boom truck or A-frame and foot jack) the pump, wire, pipe, controller and Well Troll would have cost about 2,800 @@randallnonya7298
Love that new bumper!!!!! Wow!!
Casey. I was Afraid you would crush it good job as always
Now the money meter starts spinning
Don't know if Ethan saw when the blue wreaker popped a wheelie but it looked a lot more fun then a skidsteer. Then again its all fun watching your videos and i even learn a thing or two sometimes.
maintenance days are always interesting to follow along! Awesome job moving the pump house. Definitely interested in seeing the pipe and pump exchange.
Casey!! You should ask Zacklift if they could make a special pivot pin for the wheel lift with a 2 5/16” ball ,so that you could pull gooseneck trailers without having to fiddle around with some mickymouse contraption.😱 And thanks for all the time and effort taken so we have great videos to watch!👍
Already have one
Casey, purchase Pewag truck chains, they will not break and damage your truck. Ran them for years on a truck plow with no issues. Love your channel.
It's always been said "necessity is the mother of invention", and I've always said laziness is the father!
That was a fun video. I saw the short on moving the well house and from the music selection, I thought it was your outhouse. Oh well. :)
Wow! amazing how different the different parts of our country are. Here in SW Florida, my water level is around 8' or so. When my last submersible pump died, I ran an above ground pump with a 40' drop. 800' wozers !!!!
I do have to say watching you n seeing all the out of the box thinking you have done, am more surprised pump house not just set up with wheels n hitch to lift n tow!!! Keep up great work
Super impressed with that lift!
Project to put on the list of things you'll never get to when planned... rebuild pump house, but put it on skids with a double door to clear well components and slid it out or the way with a winch....
Always impressed by your operation. When greasing those Onspots I used to grease them when they are activated. Makes the bushings last a little longer. During summer months I take the chain wheels off so it doesn't wear the arm bushing too.
Grumpy's Snow Removal Service motto: We might even get there before it's all melted! 🤣
Ian is proving to be a great addition to your channel. Quick wit and just the right amount of snarkiness.
The LaDelle well has been moved twice. Its first and last time ever.
If you install an eye-bolt on top of the new doghouse you can lift it off and put it back on, any time you want.
Nice Video! Love watching that kind of stuff!! Tiny bit of over-kill but what the heck. 😁
We also have a structure over the top of our well. For future service, consider making the roof removable, or add a service hatch (we use a skylight) that can be removed to allow the piping and pump to be pulled for service or replacement.
An 800' well is no joke. Most people by me will hit water within 150', but my last place surprised me with a well that was almost 400' deep. I ended up having to rig up some sketcy contraption to pull it with my jeep and borrow some of the neighbors' yard just to have somewhere to put all of the pipe. Having to wait another week for a larger pump and check valves to come in was fun too. It was definitely a project I regretted not paying someone else to do for me
Worked on a big loader, they used 1/4 inch nylon air lines for grease lines for hard to reach stuff, the only down side, if you send it hard in cold weather, it'll pop the line,
Ethan deserves an adjustable chair, as going to a job in your country takes hours. And the brown-coated supervisor deserves a pat on the head.
Too bad about the damage, by you guys’ long hours of tough work.
If Casey is getting a new chair, Ethan can get the old chair.
@@dubious6718 😁
Nice video as always Casey 👍
I even managed to see the short first this time 😁
I had a mechanic out one day to work on my tactor, for going underneath he pulled out of his van, an unused flat lorry / semi anti spray wheel flap, put it prickly side down then had a nice clean, slightly softer surface to lie on the back.of it.
That was onto a concrete floor in a shed but I guess it would work outside, I've also sometimes used a big sheet of cardboard, of course got to avoid any drips of grease.
Yes we want to see it.
Interesting , Thank You . A fine example of if you have a Zacklift use the Zacklift.
Thanks buddy
I'm looking forward to seeing the well pump replacement!
I have always heard that "necessity creates function" (which means that there are people who, when faced with a problem, solve it with what they have at hand, something like McGuiver hahaha), and in your case it applies to almost every video you watch. you do, which is nice since you always learn something.
Great video thank you!
Well….. at least you kept the Christmas decorations 😅😂🤣
Lovin the videos. 🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
_Z-BAR_ ~ Zacklifted Beyond All Recognition!
800 foot well?! Around here, not only would that break the bank, but you would be hitting magma!! Well, shallow bed methane, but still way deeper than any water well. Great video, guys!
My mountain house had 600’ deep well, my home had 260’ deep well. Mt house had 1hp submersible pump hung on 1” blue plastic pipe. Main house had 3/4 hp submersible pump hung on 1” blue plastic pipe. After well was drilled my wife and I installed the pumps, pipe and wire.
We have pulled and replaced both complete pumps without help. I wish I would’ve had a Zacklift, I think it may have made it easier. Good video Casey.
I think seeing your well pulled would be interesting.
Someplace in OR where the sun is shining and the ground is mostly dry. Paradise.
Film the well pipe job! Whenever I watch someone else work, I get a sense of accomplishment. lol. Blessings.
The thing about our southern oregon aquifers. I’ve heard many having issues down south with their wells drying up effectively. Truly hope that’s not the case with what Karst Topo we do have here in the PnW
YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING
I built my well house using cold storage panels, I used the 4' thick version for the walls and ceiling and I did a efis plaster finish so it doesn't look like a white metal box.
It also serves as an exit from my underground bunker.
Hey Ethan when he says we ask him if he's got a mouse in his pocket 😅😂LOL
Always enjoy GRUMPY !!!
Those well pump guys can get expensive! I've had to replace two deep well pumps over the years, but you've got me beat. My deepest one was only 600 feet.
LaDelle on a Well 😂. Maintenance day shows all the work that really goes into running heavy equipment like the Western Star & ZackLift or Farm Equipment! Our well house was a very small fake decorative rock, stuffed with insulation, that looked like part of the landscaping! We had underground electric run from the garage to plug in a heat tape wrapped around the well head. The thermostat was back on the outside of the garage and turned on the heat tape when the temperature dropped to about 34 (we had very cold winters). It was simple, automated, and worked like a charm. And when we sanitized or did maintenance on the well, you could lift the fake rock off easily!
Thanks for the video
Hello Casey. Don’t worry about what other people have to say. They have no idea what the timeframe of what you’re doing and what you’re going through. On the mudflaps for the big thing. But just wanted to give you a little suggestion where the chain beat up the side of your truck, the panels, if you had those rhino lined and you can get it rhino lined in red they’re guaranteed not to chip or peel for life. So by doing that you would have the nice red side and if chains came off again for some unfortunate reason you wouldn’t have to worry about it. That’s just a thought. Period doing good on the maintenance. I enjoy your channel. I appreciate your logic. Don’t let all the negativity of morons out there. They don’t comprehend life get you down. God be with you.
dont forget to insulate the pump house's walls and roof with just some basic stuff will help prevent you from running a heater on 24/7 to keep it barely above freezing
Had to do that once with a well shed. We didn't have access to a high reach tow truck lol. But do have a tractor, so we piled up some used tires & flipped it over on its side outta the way.
Casey you could use the two conexs too build one of the hanger shops that mount to the containers, then just pour a concrete slab!
I work for a township. We tried all different kinds of tire chains on our plow trucks. The strongest and longest lasting are Pewag square link by far. Not quite as good of traction as the V-bar, but they last 3 to 4 times longer.
Casey - I thought if I tried that, I would end up with kindling. Good Job
My mate lived on a farm in the mountains of East Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. In winter I have seen it down to -16 deg C. The box around his water pump was just big enough to surround the pump with 8inchs of insulation on all sides, top and bottom. We never had a problem with freezing and it does snow several times each winter.
Seeing the well would be cool and a learning experience too
Casey have you tried the Minimizer Fast Flap Releasable Mud Flap Hanger Kit they work great time savings on putting mud flaps back on is worth the cost. We use them on all our truck builds and the customers love them
Replacing a well pump is only exciting when it gets jammed in the well and won't come out... Then they have to drill it out... 🤣🤣🤣
I want to see it! My grandfather drilled water wells for a living back in the day.
"What happened?"
" I lost my shoe."
ROTFLMAO! Thank you guys for the laugh!!!!!!!
I know that you are going to get more advice on how to pick the pump house in the future but I can't resist. Option 1: Install lag bolts on all 4 corners where you can attach chains or lift straps. Use your wheel wood blocks to protect the metal roofing. Option 2: Use your skid steer with pallet forks to lift it. See, aren't you glad I took the time to advise you... You are welcome!
Casey, You "need" more advice on how not to pinch your finger "fixing" tin roofing 😅 Love it and all the advice comments. Better than Ann Landers.
aaah gotta love a steady ride seat!!! I ran a day cab with leaf spring suspension and steady ride seats for a couple years doing p/u and delivery... it sucked!!!
Ethan, you are so "refreshing" , you are a very good fit to Casey's channel. Hugs from Belgium to both of you.
Two things, you might have a Grumpy, but I have a Monty. I won the neighbor lottery in 2009 when I bought a house nextdoor to him. Yes on the well repair video. I'm a well inspector and actually get paid to watch those guys work. So maybe I'll watch the video at work and get paid.
