So there is brake oil, final drive oil and axle oil? I missed how the 3 are sealed from each other. Are the wheel bearings in final drive oil?

I have absolutely no experience with these trucks and no reason to, I don't even work in this industry. But you make some damn interesting videos and your knowledge on anything and everything mechanical is incredibly impressive.

You stated at the end of the video why would anybody want to watch this, It’s because of the content, the monotone humor in your voice. It all adds up to an hour long awesome video that you can’t stop watching

Your monotone dry humor is pure gold my man. Love your attitude and most importantly your love for the job! Keep making content sir.

You took it apart, replaced some parts and put it all together, keeping your cool, and just quietly went your way and got the task accomplished. And this 82-year-old thoroughly enjoyed watching you work, very safety conscious! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to watch!!

ONE HOUR VIDEO!!! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!! Thanks for taking the time to show us how its done. I wish you posted more often but when you do, its a treat! Keep em coming buddy.

I'm a retired mechanic of 40 years and really enjoy these types of videos. You did some fine work there young man-nicely done!!!

I am an ER doctor, so my only connection with this video is to see how some of those hands, feet, and toes that we take care of in the ER get so damn crushed and mangled. With that said, this is one of best, most interesting, satisfying and fun videos on the internet. To answer your question of "Pretty, ain't it?". Yeah. It really is. Absolutely awesome. I, for one, will not complain at all next time I have to change a flat tire on a Subaru. Of course, I subscribed. Thank you. R. Henry, M.D., FACEP (Fellow, American College of Emergency Physicians)

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I'm in my late 60's and when I was probably your age I dove into jobs like this and just got them done. My father taught me to be a real mechanic and you just figure it out as you go. Now I never worked on anything this big but I knew exactly what you were doing and it brought back so many good memories of when I was younger and just did this stuff like you do. Thank you for the excellent video and great narrations. Thanks for the memories and I so enjoyed this video. I wish I could have been there to help and get my hands dirty!! Thank you!!

I appreciate the style of editing you provide, no music, no fake excitement just the machine and how to care for it. Would love to see your personal inventory some time.

I’m a halfassed carpenter from Nova Scotia. I know nothing about these trucks and probably only seen a dozen of them in my life. But I love watching you work on them! Awesome video

Don’t say you don’t know what you’re doing. You’ve done a better job than most any CAT dealer would because it’s clean, neat and organized. You do things un-rushed, steady and most importantly the right way.

Theres something uniquely satisfying about just how clean the gears and components are on the inside once you start to tear these things down.

Glad to see you repairing instead of blowing up stuff. Thanks for your time. Pete in South Carolina

Enjoyed every damn minute of this video. Great way to start my day!! thanks for showing us this!!

I appreciate that you take the time to thoroughly clean everything before and during reassembly. Hate it when others just slap parts together with the grit!

Hi mate, as an old retired mechanic who's never worked on those trucks, therefore I'm just a spectator watching someone think carefully about what he's doing, no rush, no muss, and takes a pride in making everything clean before assembly, just doing a job right which is THE only way to do it in my book. It's a pleasure to watch you at work young fella, and I'll be watching from now on, many thanks for making this old man smile, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

I've been a heavy mechanic for 10 years and you're doin a hell of a job! You're workin with what you've got and what you know and not afraid to take on the job. That's what separates the good and the bad mechanics. And brother you're doin a good job. Rock on 🤟🤟

hey bud, just wanna let you know that I watched the whole thing, without skipping anything. I'm an apprentice, and I learn lots from your videos. I appreciate the way you explain things that might be fairly obvious to you, but is something others haven't come across yet. love your videos, keep up the good work!

I been a home builder for darn near 30 years. And a home mechanic when necessary. I watch these videos because I like your no-nonsense approach to video editing. And your no-nonsense approach to fixing. Keep kicking ass young man!!! I'll keep watching👍

I am a still working heavy equipment mechanic. I have worked on many Cat 725s, 730s and 745 haul trucks. Have torn down many final drives to replace duo-cone seals, and you are absolutely correct about the lug nuts. So important that those nuts are torqued to the correct spec. Guessing with a powerful impact is not any way to do it. If the nuts are not tightened to the correct and equal torque you are headed for a huge costly breakdown.

Your filming is as good as your wrenching. Thanks 👍 Great video

Because working on something this intricate is always fascinating. You always low-ball your skills, but I've seen more than enough from you to completely convince me otherwise. Thanks for the videos, much appreciated 👍

This was way more interesting than I expected it to be. I love seeing the quality of the gears. Thanks for explaining how it all works. I never knew there were hydraulic clutches in those brakes.

Awesome breakdown of this procedure KT3406E! You sometimes refer to yourself as a "hillbilly" and I know that it's meant in jest, but you have a true gift for mechanical knowledge and we're grateful that you share that gift! Thanks for taking the time to video your work. Take care, God bless!

Holy crap a full hour! Count me in. This must be the same POS you had fun dragging that tree with, almost broke the camera last time!

I don't know about the other people here but I love watching a one hour video of you replacing a wheel hub and thats not even a joke

*- It is good to see someone with competent grasp and experience with these types of machinery do their work.* *- Doing the work, plus getting the camera angles and taping, AND educating with dialogue that attempts well to get the job done, all at once in one take, is to be lauded.* *- Those who know, KNOW. Most of whose highly skilled folk would not be attracted to watch this.* *- I suspect that most who would watch would be much less attuned to seeing what is there for experienced people to see.* *- I was taught by the most flinty folks there are...crusher crew.* *- "Don't YOU DARE NOT ASK A QUESTION if you don't get something ! ! !", was my first lesson.* *- "THEIR AIN'T NO DUMB QUESTIONS...EVER ! ! !", was my second lesson.* *- "THEIR AIN'T NO STUPID QUESTIONS AROUND US ! ! !", was my third lesson.* *- I can guarantee you that the bar always went silent when my crew came in, just to check to see just how careful folks needed to be.* *- They would like your precision and brains, KT3406E...AND your striving.* *- They would approve of your succinct effort to address the question of Matthew Beasley.*

Where ever you learned your CAT tech, you sure had some natural talent to go along with it. Great job on the vid too. Thanks.

Dude I was gonna sleep another hour saw this and got out of bed to watch it cover to cover . Love it a whole hour of hill Billy ingenuity!!! Keep them coming . Oh yeah Osha called four in hospital with panic attacks after watching ...

That’s got to be the cleanest repair I ever seen most doctors aren’t on that level

I used to be, many years ago, a mobile mechanic for heavy plant. When you were dealing with heavy strip downs the only 'thing' you often had was block and tackle for the heavy lifts! You made it look easy, respect to you.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😃

I watched it from beginning to end don't get yourself enough credit man you're a damn good mechanic. I'll continue watching your videos I like how thorough you are with everything keep up the good work.

Our buddy Warren isn't easily impressed, but then again you both are a cut above most others, KT, along with the Aussie at Cutting Edge. The Mitutoyos cost you a few pretty pennies, glad to see you invest rather than expense the tools of the trade. Hope that was a preview of a C15 rebuild, and yes, it looked pretty! Country Boy can survive, young man, well done!

Can't beat a telehandler, neighbors have one for the farm. Everybody borrows it. Enjoy the videos and the detail in them.

This is the kind of stuff that I really like to watch on the Internet unlike the plain old videos that they normally have.

That was worth every minute of watching time. I learned a lot that I'll probably never need to use, but now when I look at drive hubs, I'll also see the sun and spur gears turning in oil. Hard to believe that tubeless tire sealed with all those parts. Nice. Thank for making this video.

Nice job. I was a heavy bus/truck mechanic for 43+ years. Since I retired I have gotten into the construction business mostly driving truck and I am really into how things work. Your videos are awesome and your attention to detail is second to none. I totally understand how the driveline on those trucks works, but this 65 year ain’t tearing into one of those jobs, that’s young mans work.lol keep the videos coming

As a tire tech that deals with normal tires, watching the process for disassembly and assembly of the tire alone was really cool. I've never done two piece wheels, because of how dangerous I hear they are, but I didn't know five piece wheels were normal on big equipment. Really cool to see!

What an awesome video. Who would have thought fixing a wheel on a dump truck would be so interesting but it was. I found your workmanship to be a very high standard without waist money on parts you don’t need. I certainly wouldn’t have known you hadn’t done this repair before. Well done mate. Cheers Stuart, Australia. 🇦🇺

As a computer/IT guy with no experience in your field, I love watching your videos and learn something new every time! Keep up the good work.

As much as I wish you were one of the "new video every week" kind of KZfaqrs, I can appreciate you striving for quality over quantity.

It's good to see how this kind of stuff works. Thanks for showing us.

I know nothing about these dump trucks but i enjoyed the full hour of assertiveness and common sense. Good job. A afternoon spent with you with greasy hands and a few beers would be a good afternoon.

I really appreciate your attention to detail and well thought out methodical approach to fixing problems. Working smarter not harder. 🙂

99.999% of your viewers will never work on anything like these machines, but we appreciate and admire the fact that you can, and are willing to let us watch over your shoulder while you do the work.

Hell yeah, an hour! Appreciate the videos man, always good shit. "I have never done this job before and I don't know what I'm doing" is something many of us guys go through, I find as long as you have enough common sense you can come out the other side just fine. I have fucked myself over with optimism plenty of times though. Lol

It is so nice when KZfaqrs are honest and tell you how it really is.

The thing I love so much about this exposure to heavy equipment is how every move of every piece has to be moved. In a car or passenger truck you need lift planning for the biggest bits, but to even have to do it to change a hub, awesome. Thank you for your work

Because , we all played in a sand box with toy dump trucks and loaders as kids ! love your content! commercial industrial hvac tech here .

“Pretty sure it ain’t goin nowhere.. unless it’ll go somewhere”. Dude😂😂😂😂

Ever since I was a little kiddo, I've always loved mechanical things and how they work. I watched the whole video last night and learned some new stuff. Had no idea how those wheels go together. While I'll never do this, I enjoyed learning. Thanks for taking the time to record and post this.

It’s really great watching a true craftsman do his work.

We LOVE watching your videos. Not only for the mechanical content, but also for your hilarious safety commentary. Never-mind the fact that you tackle 99% of it solo, and still get it done.

We appreciate the video. Hopefully we see that block getting built. Top content as always 👍

I watched this twice. (Replacing a damaged wheel hub) So far. Except for your semi monotone, you are a treat to watch. Thank you.

I love how humble you are. Your humor is awesome too!

All of your videos fascinate me. I'm almost 60 now and have muddled my way through life. You have your shit together. I wish I would have known what I wanted to do with it when I got out of high school like you have. Please post more!

Excellent content as usual! One of my favorite KZfaq channels

It’s a treat, watching big equipment teardown and repair. Thanks for taking the time to show how this works.

‘The corporate kool-aid’…I love it! You keep it real..great video!!

"corporate safety koolaid" you should coin that phrase 😂 but i totally understand. it's a wonder you survived this repair right? heheh good job man 👍

I was bumming around U Tube and I love watching this stuff that you'd never see normally. Great post.

Listing the timing on your fixes is AWSOME ! I hope shop mechanics watch your videos and have their techs watch you. What a great service. I tried to do the same thing in the ‘70’s for my industry and got shut down for it.

I'm an industrial machinist and turn wrenches for fun. I watch all your videos and am always impressed by what you do. I'll never need to learn these skills or be challenged to do so but, i find your videos so informative and entertaining! Please keep doing what your doing!

I appreciate the content even though i doubt ill ever work on anything nearly as big as this haul truck.

I always like the train horn in the background It’s very atmospheric , I notice warren of western truck and tractor works near the train track as well . Keep up the good work thanks

“I have never done this job before, and I have no idea what I’m doing” very relatable. Nearly an everyday phrase for me.

superb video, perfect for your audience , we used to have issues with safety people on the sites, in Ireland the site manager used to take the safety rep to the pub each evening so we could get all the dodgy stuff done with no one watching

Love your videos mate, very informative

Loved every minute of this video, I appreciate you leaving it long and showing the fine detail steps.

I just finished my 2nd week at Ryder as an in training mechanic and by far have learned way more in just this video, not including all your others I've watched numerous times than I could hope to at my job that pays $22 an hour. I'd up and move to work for free just to learn and experience all the awesome show you do, and help post more videos more often.

Always wait in anticipation for another video from you. Refreshing, enjoyable and very educational content. Hope you continue making such great videos.

I have watch this video start to finish twice now and the only issue I got is you don't make enough videos. Love the detail, please don't omit them for the sake of time, it what I watch these for!

"I'm just gonna keep takin stuff apart till I figure it out. I could go check the manual but probably not gonna do that," That's the spirit!

Your channel teaches me more about Diesel engines and repairs all together more then anything I've ever encountered on the internet u are without knowing a good teacher and the step by step format just works man u explain things simply and u don't make it to hard to understand I appreciate that man thank u

Definitely mechanic owned. Look at how clean the undercarriage of that truck is.

I appreciate your videos. I enjoy the way you make your videos, the shooting, narration, and editing. As a retired Owner/Operator, I enjoyed working on my equipment as much or more than operating. (except when it's broke on a Friday night, 50 miles from anywhere, in the mud, while it's raining). Thanks very much. Regards.

You were unsure why anyone would watch - I found it fascinating. Wonderful watching you figure things out and make max use of available tools and equipment. Thank you.

This is probably the first hour long video I have watched at 1x. Absolutely superb.

As you can see, a lot of people love your videos, brother. I was going through a lot of personal ish about a year ago and it became hard for me to sleep. I came across your videos and it gave me something to watch before bed and I started to get some sound sleep watching something that I’ve always enjoyed. It’s amazing how life can turn around when you get a full nights rest. So thanks man. Keep ‘em coming.

There's virtually no chance I'm going to make it out from under here alive...LOL

I never thought watching someone change a tire would be so much fun

Don't mind me. Just a simple country mechanic learning 12 things or so. Love the content.

Well done! Impressive to see the level of pride a man puts into his work

Well done ,most impressed.

Man, your stuff is hella entertaining, keep up the great work. I don't turn wrenches much personally, but I was in dealer automotive and heavy duty parts for 18 years, with half of them in Cat and Cummins on-highway. It's amazing to see this stuff broken down and (occasionally) put back together, and your sometimes unconventional approaches are really cool. I've known far too many Cat mechanics that are all kinds of stuck up their own asses, and your no-nonsense yet highly effective approach coupled with a little dry humour is really cool to watch.

This is the first video I've watched from you and I must say the quality and the educative value are top notch. I'm not at all in the heavy equipment business, but I just wanted to know how these geared hubs are made. I couldn't have found any better video than this one. Thanks! 👍 For someone who "doesn't know what you're doing", you easily surpass many "experts" in the field. Also the humorous mocking of the damn youtube safety freaks was hilarious. 🤣

Really enjoyed watching this!!! Love your laid back, chilled out style and its always interesting. Best wishes from the UK.

I don't think I'll ever have the chance to do this job myself, but I admire the way you did it.

Algorithm kept ramming this video into my feed for over a week now. Happy I listened and finally sat down to watch. Excellent work. Taught me quite a bit.

Another world class heavy equipment mechanic video! You are definitely a first class mechanic to say the least. Best part of the video was the zip tie on the snap ring. I know for a fact that Zip Ties and Bias Plies would've been awful proud of you to see you using that for that application. It worked well as any other tool you could've bought to do the same thing. There's always more than one tool for the job. Keep up the great work and really appreciate you sharing this video with us. If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing done the right way first time.👌👍

Keep the videos coming man I enjoy them.

Thanks, I never saw the working of that wheel assembly before. The brake system is pretty cool huh?

Im a apprentice cat mechanic so i enjoy watching your videos, because there is always something to learn

22:00 "There's a couple of spots where I got a little too sporty with the torch, but that won't hurt anything" LOL

Really enjoy watching your videos.... keep it up and keep them coming. And thank you.

It is very gratifying to see such careful treatment of heavy equipment. Too many air wrenches torches and large hammers get applied to precision equipment.

First time ever seeing a hub assembly on something this big. Thanks for the video.

Not gonna lie I didn’t realize how long this video was until I made it all the way to the end. Great video and it was interesting from start to finish. Thank you for this.
