I hope he stays that way, dude is really grateful to his fans.

Agree. Honestly his enthusiasm is just fun to watch. Wish he was my neighbor.

@Jay Man I've been there before lol

Yes sir !!! Well I agree with the computer talk , have a few 1990 jeeps bullet proff just enough electronics , now and days there 10 sensors where there should only be 2 tops

I had an old 88’ Volvo, and I swear to god, whom ever did the wiring on it, what very little there was, was high as a meth-kite... it made zero sense and was an absolute mess, but it ran and quite well too... I never touched and never looked at it again. Wires=trouble.

@Jay Cleaning up after a meth head wiring job is always fun. -Every used project I've ever worked on Got an '86 Honda quad right now, that wiring is all over the place but after probably an hour of testing and repairing all the wiring, it all is functional. Cleaning it up so the entire side of that quad isn't wires hanging has been the harder part. I'd never want to work on something with an advanced computer where the wiring has been molested like that.

@CAROLINA PATRIOT How about having to get the implements synced up to the tractor’s computers so that they work properly???!!! Look up a KZfaqr called Millennial Farmer(I think), he has several pieces of farming equipment that is all computer controlled, the vehicle, the attachments, vehicle speed with attachments production rates, it’s mind boggling!!

Paccar 🤢🤮🤮

Hour and a half to get to a diagnostic connector that you plug into for 20 minutes. Part of why a friend quit working on them.

At least paccar finally released the software to even plug into the damn things. It took a couple years before that happened and it was just awesome to send trucks down the JX every week for check engine lights.... lol

I’m not a fan of paccar. Check engine lights and check transmission light are always on

And the thing is, they don't even have to be like that. The wiring harnesses were just designed to be quickly assembled the very first time around - a cost-saving measure for the factory that ended up being a pain in the ass for maintainers, which is bass-ackwards because maintainers are going to spend exponentially more time in that engine bay than the assemblers are. The issue is that the assemblers are there at the meeting, deciding which way the design's going to work and the maintainers probably aren't (or aren't listened to if they are there). People are just people, and they listen to the advice of those who work with them every day. It'd be an opportunity for all the licensed mechanics (because they're not going to give the unlicensed ones the time of day) to get together and actually talk to the company about it in an organized way that's hard to ignore. Griping on KZfaq means less than nothing to 'em, much as it makes us feel better.

He just checked the oil and oil is fine.

glad to have you.

sure are lmao, I have an 88 fourtrax, cost 1100 Canadian

Charles Angell SIRI!

Charles Angell Thanks

@Phil Hall ya its worth the better part of ten grand 700 bucks is so damn cheap

I hope a video of doing something.

What do you think dipshit?

I agree, just slacken the joints, and 16 year old diesel is not diesel any more. Also take off those extra wheels or you will be knocking walls and gate posts down.

That, or change its gender.

@Hilario Stamm nobody gives a damn

nice seeing you here!

Lol said no one ever 😅😂

CumStang

We do too...only if we have bain dramage though.

Patina cant be replicated if you wash it off! People pay extra for patina!

clean doesn't make it better

Blasting old equipment with a pressure washer is a great way to ruin the electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, hydrostatics, compression and lights.

@@prjndigo Ive pressure washed tons of old tractors and bailers, never had any issues. Just dont be stupid about it

Cause it's a work horse 😎

Dixie Farmboy agree, white smoke = water. Added a bunch in first video. Be interesting to see what they find.

Clean the ethanol gunk out of the carb and I bet you it'll start a lot easier. Used to have to clean the carb on my Honda push mower probably twice a year, always got gunked up. Common issue with the god awful carbs they used on the GCV160 engines, sold that mower. Good luck if you take it on, carbs are pretty fool proof on small engines.

Aidan Montgomery Well I got a new battery for it and it started right up after sitting for a couple weeks, so I think my issue was the battery

Every time i have work done on my 4440 or 4640, the JD mechanics always tell me. "Never get rid of these old tractors, we can't keep the new ones running"

I was wondering the same thing

Probably just self taught. Living on the farm, you learn to work on your own stuff. Dont have the time to wait on a mechanic. That's how I learned. Mechanic work, body work, welding and lots of other things.

a lot of school trained folks wouldn’t even know half the shit Westen knows when they finish schooling

@@gabeackerman4964 That is true. With the computers ruling vehicles, hard for just old school mechanics. I was thinking he may have had some schooling, and built off of that.

@@Hick25 School is a good starting place in todays world, and building off of that. Even shop class is great for boys and girls.

that could also be why one injector might be shot, overworked

and TYVEK SUIT along with respirator

Come on... really? This isn't some government subsidized abatement project. It's a real-world farm tractor. Clean 'er up. Make 'er run. Ride 'er hard.

Bytor Cry more

@@jedimasterjoe5386 non-sequitur

Nah, none of that treehugger stuff! 😎

Maybe I should hang on to all those old Carburetors in my garage. World War 3 will definitely include EMP issues and a working carburetor could be worth a small fortune. Some of those old Breaker Point distributors could be valuable too

@@dondakota920 I definitely prefer carbs over fuel infection, my 1986 chevy silverado has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, Edlebrock 1406 on a sbc 350 and a th350

@@RichyN25 Electronic ignition will probably still screw you with an EMP.

Me too, sad... 😢

Exactly!!!

Have a talk/work ratio.

Westen is one of the only channels I'm willing to listen to talk for that long, every other channel seems to be a lot more boring. Would be nice to see a bit of work get done too though.

@Cecil Johnson Look up Mustie1 on KZfaq. You won't be disappointed.
