Our family owned a trucking company. We had 4 international tri axle dump trucks. We had to fix them wherever they broke. One truck spun the center out of a clutch and we had to change it in a chipyard in the dirt and mud. Somehow we supported the 13 speed using a warn winch on a scout and got it done, albeit in a very sketchy and not OSHA approved way. Desperate times call for desperate measures. My dad has passed away and I’m now far too old to do heavy work like that anymore but I respect the people that can still do it. Good job sir, well done!

I distinctly remember watching the video of you replacing the trans in that peterbuilt so many years ago. I was then about a month away from starting diesel tech school and I remember being blown away with how casual you were about what I thought then was the monumental task of replacing a transmission. I've been at an International dealership since then and as fate would have it, I became the "transmission guy" at our shop. Now if I'm not getting a clutch job done before lunch, something is wrong.

Rich, I'm a 30 year old, graduate from the caterpillar think big program here in north carolina. I left the cat world about 5 years ago, let me tell you. Going out on my own was the best thing I could have ever done. Worked out of a 95 f350 for a few years, built a good business and customer base, bought a f550 and currently in works of putting up a 40X60 pole barn. I work on a little bit of everything much like yourself. I appreciate your videos and your insight on how most of us should try to lead our lives, in my opinion.

I recently took an internship at a drive line shop building heavy duty transmissions. Mostly Eaton Fuller RTLO18918Bs and FRO16210Cs. Its amazing to me how long these units can last. A good driver can keep the unit in usable condition for over 500,000 miles. Ensuring the clutch brake is operating correctly, preselecting your range shift, and running good clean oil and a cooler can save a lot of time and money. Silly things that cost a lot of time and money include running the unit out of oil and shock load failure as a result of bad driving or wheel spinout during slippery conditions. Replacing the input would have been a good idea, but I'm not sure it's possible without partially disassembling the main box.

@TheBrokenLife Жыл бұрын

Regarding your closing points... Many moons ago I decided to go into the more clerical side of machinery rather than spin wrenches as a career. That decision was based in large part on the fact that none of the mechanics I knew over 40 could stand up straight anymore. What I didn't know, and no one knew to tell me at the time, is that sitting at a desk could be just as brutal on your body. You get all of the back problems _and_ you get repetitive stress injuries to go with it. 😆 The ideal job is about half of each, but that job pretty much doesn't exist anymore. If I had it to do all over again, I think owner/operator of equipment (I assume what Phil is doing) would be a decent way to go. With what formal education costs, not in just money but also in time, you could have yourself a pretty good start-up collection of hardware to work with.

An eclectic way of changing a clutch on your friends Kenworth Anteater Tipper Wagon, would have put in a steel prop under the raised tipper body. What I really like is the crap and dirt in the cab ,more dirt caked on the chassis , a nice honest working wagon. One thing when removing the gear selector plate from the gearbox , put a piece of clean cardboard over the opening ,less chance of crap entering the box and ruin the gearsets.
