7:34 for those wondering. She’s adorable and good sport for the channel. Nice painted toes. I just nod my head “yup” when mine says I’m getting a pedicure.
@@tedohio3038 Yup. Same here. First power tool I bought for myself when first married. Still have it... Bearings could use a refresh, but it still works. Used it for nearly 30 years. Last use was with a demo blade cutting apart an old shed...roofing and all! Excellent saw.
Your wife as no idea how helpful her contribution always is. For me, sometimes just someone to hand a tool or push a pedal so I don’t have to climb all the way out of whatever I’m in or under would be pure gold. You are lucky she can/will come out to help! Be sure you show her a generous amount of appreciation! I’ll bet the owner didn’t even know he has an adjustable wheel!
“Ok, it’s starting to get complicated!” As the whole assembly comes of the tractor! WWW the master of the understatement!!! And was that a Sealtest Milk crate on the e floor!!! That’s gotta be 60 years old!!!
Always nice to see an old Craftsman tool saved. Also enjoy seeing your wife share in your work. I can't get mine through the door, let alone help with anything. Thanks for sharing Wes..

Charge for the full time you spent on it. If the owner had brought it to you when the movements started getting difficult instead of when they became impossible it would have been a lot easier and quicker to disassemble. The bonus is with all the exertions you and Mrs put into this machine you will have burned off more than enough calories to indulge in you favourite amber beverage with a zero calorie gain so *BONUS!!* *Thank you* for the videos to Wes and the owner/operator of the HufflePuff Tractor Moving Service. 👍👍
Ensure you explain to him cause and effect: lack of maintenance, mice, rust, new (obscure) parts needed and ensure that he knows there is a video coming out that shows the horror of fixing it. Then tell him about the grease nipple(s) you added. Then explain how many hours, rate and price (plus state taxes).
I have that same circular saw. My father gave it to me for Christmas in 1988, right after I graduated from college. He died in early December, so I didn't get to thank him. I've bought and sold dozens of saws since then. But I'll never get rid of this one. It's been my backup to my backup for a while now. But every time I pick it up I think of my dad and smile.
I see the supervisor was on camera with her OSHA approved red painted steeltoe flipflops. Then came back for the test drive to check out your work. I will also comment on the Craftsman saw, I have three of them and two of them were picked out of the local garbage dumpster with the same problem that you had, both repaired and have cut a lot of wood, metal and vinyl siding. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Rust, various forms of iron oxide, does indeed take up more space than just iron/steel. As it expands, it seals those surfaces from moving together nicely. Grease fittings are the perfect solution. And it keeps the rust at bay. You are an awesome mechanic!!!
You're a better man than me Wes, the Cuss words come flying out of my mouth when doing nightmare jobs like this, can't help it worked with tradesmen my entire life.
The customer is going to wonder what the nice dinner fee is for, after having Mrs Wes assist with the brake pedal removal. You have to love our snack stealing friends. Thanks for the Videos, Wes.
The smaller and simpler the machine looks the longer it will take to fix it. The classic two minute job. Great stuff thank you for posting. Best from the UK.
Oh boy a Wes video! Been feeling deprived. Love the decoration on your helpers safety shoes👍🤣 Imagine if mice could be genetically modified so their urine was a lubricant.
Wes, my hat is off to you once again! I swear it seems like any setup of multiple pivots on a common rail like that seems to whisper "DO NOT lubricate" in the ear of the operator. Installing the grease zirks is an excellent idea, I do it too on almost every pivot joint. I also commend you again for your patience. I'm a semi mechanic in northern Minnesota and I know salt and mouse damage too! Your patience is a model for me when I get in tough situations. Big time thanks for doing what you do and taking the time to bring us along, you've taught myself and so many others. PS- That circ saw is awesome! I had my dad's old Craftsman that had the aluminum housing and that saw was the epitome of quality, simple and durable American engineering. Take care my friend!
Always appreciate the effort you put into repairing equipment. Your comment "don't know how to bill this... more than 12 hours in it" rings a bell with me. Rodents very recently did a number on my 115 HP Yamaha (2 stroke) outboard. To the point where if I wanted to go boating this season it was time to re-power with a new 4 stroke. We always put lots of rodent deterrents in the boat, but, not under the engine cowling. Lesson learned!
3 channels I click on immediately. Yours, Cutting Edge Engineering, Farmcraft101. You Sir, are one massively capable guy. You’re continually exasperated by sh1tty jobs like this one but you get ‘em done. If only I lived within 100 miles of your shop!
Finally, a "proof of life" video. I see the short corn in the fields. The bugpocolypse in full effect. Yep. Wes is, in fact, alive and well in Illinois.
With the screw there’s a tool I use. It’s a 5 piece Damaged screw remover set. It’s a drill and easy out in one. You put in a power drill and in reverse. Drill until the easy out bits and out it comes. Been watching your videos since day one. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Wes, you are a nutcase, which I recognize in myself. Kudos to you. A couple of hours after watching this video, I watched another channel and came across a viewer's comment in response to the quality of this other man's work. I immediately thought of you. Here it is: "You remind me of the gynecologist who changed jobs and did an automotive repair apprenticeship. He aced his final test and got 120% on the practical exam. When he asked about this exceptionally high mark, the teacher said that he not only rebuilt the engine perfectly but also did it all through the tailpipe."
You forgot to "Cue the Beautiful Assistant ! !" segway and also a "Wrong Leverrrrrrrr....." exclamation........ Nice fix. I believe mice keep the repair shops in business.
I didn't realize that Beryl affected your state as well. We in Barbados were very fortunate that it stayed south of us. Happy to hear that you were not personally affected.
Great video, also more bonus content please! That circular saw fix was a nice treat, makes me want to poke around broken tools a bit more to see what is wrong
Nice work Wes ,sometimes it takes time to get it fixed,glad you got it fixed up like new , it’s always nice to see your wife helping you out when you need someone….. my dad used to work at sears and I can say that he had a few craftsmen tools in the basement that we used…
I love watching the Post-Apocalyptic Inventor. I have an old Craftsman saw very similar to this one. I will often use it rather than one of my Milwaukee 8” saws or my Skil worm-drive because it’s lighter. Old age sucks.
Love the content and the safety sandals! You are an awesome mechanic, this was very much brute force yet a few years ago you were diagnosing an intermittent fault with a cars ECU. You just deal with what turns up. Always a good watch, keep doing what you do.
Hi Wes thanks again for letting us hang out in the shop with you and answering my question of wouldn’t a roll pin work. I am self employed as well and I completely understand your concern on how to bill out a job like this, been there a few times. I go with, Anything over 10 years old or has been ridden hard and put away wet book time DOSE NOT APPLY!! I’m straight up with my shop rate, do my best to be as quick as possible and always guarantee it will done right. A broken vehicle, tractor or other equipment is well worth… well what ever someone is willing to gamble on it. So your customer now has a tractor that he knows is in good working order and will continue to work for him. The alternative option was sell it and buy something else and if the something else was used well…. that could have been another episode! My point is do not sell yourself short, you are an amazing talented craftsman, detailed and worth every dollar!!!!!
Interesting as always Wes! That’s why most farms have lots of cats! Little buggers. Great to see Mrs W’s cameo appearance. She’s a real good sport. ..🇦🇺🍺🍺
no kidding about the TS beryl. i’m here in houston where we got some pretty high flooding in many places. as of today 7/15, 200k folks still have no power. i was super fortunate to get my power back same day it happened. went back to work the following wednesday. love your videos.
That was really rusted on there Wes, and that brake pedal was tuff to take off. Rodents can really ruin equipment, it's really bad when they chewing on the electrical wireing. Great work on that circular saw Wes, they don't make them like no more. 👍👍👍👍
Wes, And Mrs. Wes, The level of frustration really came thru on this one. I was feeling for you at every step. You and the Mrs. deserve a few cold frosty beverages. I fix a lot of mowers, snowblowers and garden tractors. The rodents love them things. I do what you did. Beat the ever living shit out of the stuck parts then grease the bearings/bushings and cover everything with a good layer of Fluid Film (thanks SMA). If the mice hate the Film as much as me I think it makes a good repair. Man that stuff stinks. But it does seem to work. Thanks for sharing, -M-
That tractor job wow a testament to never give up and patience to massage the damage back into operation really shows how dedicated you are to your craft great job fella wish you were my neighbor I would love to help out on some of those projects I always loved looking inside and see how things worked always a marvel as to how the people figured out how to overcome the problems and create the world around us. Oh you had me lol trying to get your wife to throw lever on right I think I’m married to her sister or very least cousin, but by far the most complex of all the things I’ve tried to figure out lol
Nice repair... of both things. But since you now tasted woodworking skills, it won't be unusual to see woodworking tool repairs from now on. But your skill levels seems to cover most everything. I try to do that myself. And for the most part I succeed. However, every now and than something gives me a huge problem and it takes a heck of a lot longer to get things repaired and working properly again. But that is what keeps things real when logical thinking doesn't fix problems and you have to do uncommon things to repair them. I always enjoy watching your videos... Thumbs Up!
Wes. That circular saw. I bought a home near Seattle, 1986. I had an exact saw to that one. Man. I used it to build sheds, a garage, decks, fences. Used it 27 years. Still worked when I retired, moved, gave to my brother.
When ya whipped out the drill and said there might be a better way, yup good choice. Those damn unwanted guests (mice) hide just about any dang place. I have one of those Craftsman saws I bought in the 90's, works great still. Good fix Wes, tractors ready to go 500 hours.
Wes, I enjoy watching your content. The family and the pooch are always nice. I have that model of side winder saw and built my home with it. Now its a back up replaced with a Makita that I really like. Boe
To quote the Hanna Barbera character Snaggle Puss, "I hates meeses to pieces." One thing about Massey products is that AGCO has been pretty good about keeping parts available even for old tractors, even some Olliver and White tractors. Many parts were still available for my old '62 Massey Super 90 and also for my '85 Massey 283.
IFI recall, I had one very similar to that one. Quit working, after I made installed the cordless feature.....Maybe I should send your way! Thanks for the video and the limited cameo by Max.
Farmer looked or smelt the problem, I know a guy 👦. What's the bet the newly added grease point never gets greased? Great work Wes, nice shakedown test by Mrs W. Thanks for sharing
Wes, my wife gave me that very same Crapsman saw in about 1993. You should of let it go to the shit pile!!! Mine had about 3/8” of play in the blade bearings. I would watch the blade move side to side while trying to line up the cut. What a turd!!! My carpentry results immediately improved with the replacement saw!!! Also, can you please do an adults only version of a repair with all the foul language? Your fixing game is good, let us see your cussing game!!! 😂😂😂😂
Rodents, urine, rust, and chewed wires, and you have a Watch Wes Work video and always fun (for me anyway) to watch. Great job young man, if I were your customer and had the problem you repaired, I would be willing to pay your hourly rate, especially when you consider the replacement cost of the machine. Nice fix on the craftsman saw, thanks for the video, as always enjoyed seeing Mrs W helping and the two of you working together.
Your xtra mecanic is nice to help you , do you have your nails also painted 😂 Your wife is super , the patience of an Englishman From Arne in Sweden 👍👌

Rust and rodents - This is what brings us back every time, Wes! Throw in some welding, electrics, and Mrs W. Pure gold
Gives a new meaning of, "I'm in the shop for a little R&R".
Rust and rodents would be an incredible TH-cam channel name.
I completely share your distain for rodents in the machinery and workshop context.
I like the addon "bonus footage" at the end.

Man you sure got some patience! The men in white coats would have had to come and get me two hours into it.
I think Wes edited that part out! Regards

Man O Man what a chore. Cheers to your stamina and perseverance ! Another "easy" fix. Great job .
It’s a fun little world to know all of my favorite TH-camrs are aware of each other, at least to some degree. I love the post apocalyptic inventor!

Boy what a job . Rodent's are destructive little critters. Your wife did a good job driving the tractor. Good video as you always put out. Thanks.
Well done fixing that circular saw rather than tossing it in the trash. Very green, Wes! And good job wearing the PPE.
Wes you and your wife are truly a team, never take her for granted. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland

Thanks for adding on the circular saw salvage! That's the kind of videos my channel is full of. Post Apocalyptic Inventor is awesome!

One thing about Massey products is that AGCO has been pretty good about keeping parts available even for old tractors, even some Olliver and White tractors. Many parts were still available for my old '62 Massey Super 90 and also for my '85 Massey 283.
IFI recall, I had one very similar to that one. Quit working, after I made installed the cordless feature.....Maybe I should send your way! Thanks for the video and the limited cameo by Max.
Farmer looked or smelt the problem, I know a guy 👦.
What's the bet the newly added grease point never gets greased?
Great work Wes, nice shakedown test by Mrs W.
Thanks for sharing
WOW! That was an exceptionally difficult project. Rodents - 1, Wes - 0. Thanks for all of the great postings you do for your subs and take care!
Wes, my wife gave me that very same Crapsman saw in about 1993. You should of let it go to the shit pile!!! Mine had about 3/8” of play in the blade bearings. I would watch the blade move side to side while trying to line up the cut. What a turd!!! My carpentry results immediately improved with the replacement saw!!! Also, can you please do an adults only version of a repair with all the foul language? Your fixing game is good, let us see your cussing game!!! 😂😂😂😂
I have an old Skill saw that was made in the USA. I'm going to keep it going as long as I can.
New Video from Wess, nice !!!!👍
Rodents, urine, rust, and chewed wires, and you have a Watch Wes Work video and always fun (for me anyway) to watch. Great job young man, if I were your customer and had the problem you repaired, I would be willing to pay your hourly rate, especially when you consider the replacement cost of the machine. Nice fix on the craftsman saw, thanks for the video, as always enjoyed seeing Mrs W helping and the two of you working together.
Hey! Looks like you fixed that sweet little Weller heat gun. Sweet!
Oh yeah. I fixed it in the same video where I broke it. Just a broken crimp.
Love the little bonus content at the end that was sweet!
Hearing Dankpods AND Wes swear today is surreal
I have the same saw, I’ve had it for over 40-50 years. I cannot remember, how long… still works. No problems and I abused the crap out of it.
I was thinking "if you put a grease fitting..." right about the time Wes started threading that grease fitting hole, lol
Wes, You always get the interesting jobs
Nylon bushes absorb moisture and swell up! Gear linkages suffer this way as well! Good job!
