Haha well, it's the truth. Before we got this Cat 308D mini Din Excavator, we used to struggle reaching Way in this Mill, It was always a Pain in the Butt. www.loggerwade....
This is definantly one of those hold my beer moments. Getting an excivator in the building to do a job is just too funny but if it works then it works.
In regard to rotation, ... it seems like a 50/50 proposition, but in over 40 years of monkeying with 3 phase motors, getting correct rotation on the first try only happens about 25% of the time.
Good morning Wade … it’s a good day when there is a logger Wade vidjya… great start to my day, I appreciate that sir , thank you much love from Ontario, Canada 👊✌️🇨🇦
Great vidja Wade . Gotta do things a little different sometimes to keep things rolling. I hope things get better for you guys . This economy is bleeding us smaller businesses dry . Have a good one.
Soon as I saw Roger was on the scene...I immediately knew things were going to get done right!🤠 Nice job, Fellers and hopefully the boys can figure out how to get this job done next time!👍
Thanks Wade, brings back memories, I worked in an electric motor shop with 24 hour emergency service, i think you did a sweet job of getting that motor out and back in again, sometimes you do what you have to, sketchy or not. Enjoyed watching, appreciate you taking time to record it. You have a good crew to work with.
Wow another adventure packed with suspense to finally reach the first goal. Then why not have another major issue show up! Be Safe Youngman and thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! I’m no electrician but I do find it very interesting! Quick search said 250 hp = 300+ FLA at 480v which would take 3/0 wire…. Totally different league! Definitely don’t play around with that. Glad you got it figured out!
An excavator on a log deck.....how can that NOT be a good vidja?!?!? 24 years on that motor, thats pretty good. Shows what a little maintenance will do.
Like seeing the nitty gritty side of things. Projects,repairs,job site work never goes as expected. Seeing the difficult things and the solutions is interesting and informative.
Worked at a soybean processing plant and would have to swap out a 150 horse motor that was 8 feet up. We did have a beam overhead but we had to trapeze it over using 2 chainfalls and drop it down.
Congratulations! Great job! You and your team are one of the best! Having a good time in a bad situation. We all get twisted up once in a while.😂 Thank you for being you, and thank you for sharing!
You and Roger are a real team of professionals. I’m sure there’s days neither one of likes the other but the respect never goes away nor dose the true friendship. 👊👊
Wade you don’t have crane 🏗 trucks in your state. See that THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST . IF you get it out in one ☝️ pc , HOPE you get it back in with out doing more damage to your equipments. Hey 👋 if electric motor running backward just change any two wire be running clock wise them Wade . 😊
Talk about a high risk/high reward job. Using the hoe saved a bundle of time, but wow oh wow, like you said, it could of turned into weeks of repairs and a bundle of money, if it had gone bad. 👍👍
This kind of video right here of what you do every day right wrong or indifferent is exactly why I started watching your channel keep them coming nice to see Roger back and some of the others where big daddy been You need to do a video of all the guys again brings us b to your reality
Nice work! If you ever go to Florida again to the auctions look for a Broderson Carry Deck Crane. Once you use one on any industrial site you will wonder how you ever got along without it. We have an 8 ton size with a fly away jib that has a 45 ft tip height.
That is quite the large project to take on getting the motor in and out! Looking forward to your next video Wade. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!!!
Oh oh, the Excavator to put of the great Saw draft of Block of Wood. Your have good Nerve!! And this all to a new Motor for the Saw to Install. You make the Electric to the Motor and on the chain Perfect, Saw run 💪👌💪
Interesting video Wade. Years ago I was a maintenance electrician in a knitting mill. If a machine was down for mechanical adjustment I'd take the opportunity to check the motors. With my ear muffs against the side of the cabinet a quick spin of the motor and I could hear if the bearing were on the way out, replacing them early saved many motors from having to be rewired. In your case a stethoscope might be useful.
A jib or gantry crane in there would be just the thing but how do you go about putting one in without it being in the way most of the time? Nice to see y'all
Great job, Joanne, Wade, Roger, Mikey and Matt, Hey Roger 👌👍🙏🙂
Good to hear Rogers Laugh again...
Good video. As a fellow sawmiller I enjoy seeing the actual work that's done to keep our operations going
This is definantly one of those hold my beer moments. Getting an excivator in the building to do a job is just too funny but if it works then it works.
Thank you Mr Wade for an other great video. Bless you your family and the crew
In regard to rotation, ... it seems like a 50/50 proposition, but in over 40 years of monkeying with 3 phase motors, getting correct rotation on the first try only happens about 25% of the time.
Lol I don't disagree with that
I have to admit that was pure genius Tater. Great job getting that beast of a motor in & out.
Good morning Wade … it’s a good day when there is a logger Wade vidjya… great start to my day, I appreciate that sir , thank you much love from Ontario, Canada 👊✌️🇨🇦
I’m sure big daddy said when I was your age we’d have just picked that up and set it in there;-)
Great vidjya wade,informative
Wow from in truck to running in 30 minutes very impressive😁
That was exciting. Never a dull day with Wade and the crew. Thanks for the great content, would love to see more.
Okay Wade that's cool I hope nothing Bent under the weight and that's a big electric motor 😮😮😮😮
That is some great ingenuity and awesome teamwork. Thanks for the video. Stay safe
Great vidja Wade . Gotta do things a little different sometimes to keep things rolling. I hope things get better for you guys . This economy is bleeding us smaller businesses dry . Have a good one.
Your lucky to have a motor shop that will give that kind of service nobody seems to understand the cost of downtime
Logger Wade, you and your crew are absolute LEGENDS
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
hope you have time to show us part 2 of this repair 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and if it looks silly but works it ain’t silly it’s genius 😊 have a good one
All your videos are great. I worked in a sawmill when I was 17 but just for a short time
I liked that video Wade. I interested in what it takes to keep things running. Great job guys.
Goodonya Wade! Top Stuff! Enjoyed in Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍⚡️🐝
Hi Wade, old jargon, old jargon, jargon, jargon, as requested Wade, glad I could help. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Soon as I saw Roger was on the scene...I immediately knew things were going to get done right!🤠 Nice job, Fellers and hopefully the boys can figure out how to get this job done next time!👍

Reminds me of working around the millwrights in the paper mills here in the northeast!
Lolz! That’s awesome!

Thanks bud will do

The video brings back many 20 hour days from my past
An excavator on a log deck.....how can that NOT be a good vidja?!?!? 24 years on that motor, thats pretty good. Shows what a little maintenance will do.
Nice to see old Roger again
Like seeing the nitty gritty side of things. Projects,repairs,job site work never goes as expected. Seeing the difficult things and the solutions is interesting and informative.
Super smart 👌🏻 the location of it and its surroundings don’t leave many options
Good video Wade. Nice work with the excavator. Thank you.
Worked at a soybean processing plant and would have to swap out a 150 horse motor that was 8 feet up. We did have a beam overhead but we had to trapeze it over using 2 chainfalls and drop it down.
Cool Wade
nice to see roger again
Nice job on the removal and installation of such a big motor.
That's one hell of a way to make toothpicks!! Great video! Thumbs up! Safety first!
Congratulations! Great job! You and your team are one of the best! Having a good time in a bad situation. We all get twisted up once in a while.😂
Thank you for being you, and thank you for sharing!
That was a little wonky!!..🤔 But I would expect nothing less from Wade. 😎. No one got hurt and the job got done. 👍💪. Nice work guys!!.
I like everything about that !!!! Keep rollin ol LW
When things get tough the tough get going! You have some really good people you work with!
Good to watch Tater at work what I got out the video was a Dewalt guy using a Milwaukee impact. Lol. Like the videos keepem coming.
I think most of enjoy the detail like this vodka showed. But any day with a LW vid is a good day
You and Roger are a real team of professionals. I’m sure there’s days neither one of likes the other but the respect never goes away nor dose the true friendship. 👊👊
We actually keep things pretty light between us
We so used to each other when one gets down the other helps out
That log deck is impressive to hold the weight of that 308 like it ain't no thang!!
Great vidja Tatar way to think out of the box 👍🏻
Love your attitude towards everything and how you respect your help!! Top notch sir!
I appreciate that!
Great job Wade!!! got to do what ya got to do to get the job done!!!!!!

Always a good day with a logger wade video. Who needs DP when you got logger wade on the excavator lol
Lol hey I can handle anything that don't get to complex. Then I'd say the big DP would have to take over
Adapt and overcome. I love it.
Wade nice job knowing your equipment taking the ex up on the log deck to remove the motor
Great vidja
Where there is a will there is a way. Good old Hoosier ingenuity.
thinking outside the box to get things done great job
I loved it. All the best from Henry in the UK 🇬🇧

Great video, well done Wade
Those mini excavators are just about as handy as the pocket on your shirt
Hi working to a deadline keeps you on your toes. Hope you had a good birthday 👍🐝🌞
Nice work! If you ever go to Florida again to the auctions look for a Broderson Carry Deck Crane. Once you use one on any industrial site you will wonder how you ever got along without it. We have an 8 ton size with a fly away jib that has a 45 ft tip height.
