Great follow up, showing all that you had to check! Glad you lesson to the comments, and do a follow up! Great video!!! Keep up the good work!

You could be the first mechanic that learned about the problem the "easy way".

[deanh]

That's 50, 000 more reasons why the company is wise to let you film. Well done.

[JohnSmith-ihrh]

A mechanic that admits he doesn't know everything is the best you can find.

[jameshaskell]

This is what makes a great mechanic. You cared enough about your work to not only check out info on a YouTube comment but you also swallowed your pride and filmed it real time and gave the person credit who had the info. This is so rare I am super impressed. Our country would be in a lot better shape with more people like you. Think about that every one! Josh you are 1 and a million. I have too been a tech for 15 years plus and can count on 1 hand people who gave credit to others when they didn’t have too, how many people can you think of?

That sinking feeling when you are at home and realize you missed something or forgot something is always the worst. I thought I left the heater on in my ultrasonic cleaner one friday and convinced myself that I was going to burn the shop down in my head so I had to drive 30 minutes to work on a Saturday morning to check.

I think Roc Schall deserves some free merch from you and CAT for that save.

[frederickburns]

I'm a retired CAT&CUMMINGS knuckle buster and this reminded me of a visit with a friend that lives in a different state. While riding in his Chevy diesel pickup I heard what I considered a valve tic and I told him that he should have it looked at. Well about a month later he called me and said he wished he had listened to me as it dropped a valve.
I watch these types of videos because you're never to old to LEARN!!!

I feel like a witnessed a once in a lifetime thing; people helping other people on the internet.

It always sucks when incorrect parts can be bolted up and appear to still work. Not that one shouldn't be careful at all times, but it lacks that safety feature of the wrong part not being able to be fitted in the first place - especially important in cases like this where it's not visually obvious. Glad you caught it in time, and kudos to everyone who chimed in with good advice. 👍

This “save” is worth every minute you’ve put into this channel. Big thanks to the subscriber for telling you.

[lernwithgern]

Sometimes the wisdom of the crowd is a real thing. Aren't you glad you read comments? Nice save.

[PorscheRacer]

This reminds me of when I was changing the custom bars and chains on the feeder chain of the combine. I was pretty proud of myself doing it without asking my dad for help. Thankfully I went to gloat before firing it up since he reminded me that the feeder chain is directional and if put in wrong it'll fit, but sit just a bit higher on the teeth and bind and break. Spent the afternoon humbled doing it over again and mindful to ask others around me for advice. It just saves time in the end.

Roc is my cousin, He was a member of the SeaBees where they taught bandaid mechanics. He has done it all. Well at least 99.5%…

[mediarav]

The mark of a man is he who owns the bad as well as the good. Learns, rectifies, and credits those who shared the knowledge. Bravo. Seriously, bravo. 🙌🏾

[davetdowell]

As I teach to my students, no one can know everything, there's just too much to know.

Kudos to the acknowledgement video, and to the commenters who did know and shouted out the issue.

[roysty]

As a past Cat mechanic working on trucks and equipment, even though they maybe the same model, Cat always has a lot of little difference between the two, you can never assume what works and is on a truck engine will work on the same engine in an earthmoving machine. Found out hard way too, thankfully no damage. I worked in a small country branch and we worked on both all the time and you picked up on the differences as you worked on them. Best thing from something like this is you learn from it and you never forget it and you pass the information on to others

[Will-ltuo]

Good catch and props to the guys who contacted you.
We never stop learning in this industry!

[KevinMurano]

Great catch send that guy some hats for the crew. We all learn everyday….. no matter how smart or how much we know…. I like to quote “we all have our turn in the barrel “ it’s special when you can read a comment and accept someone’s input. Not many people will do that. Sometimes it goes in one ear and out the other!

Testing that by listening to the sound is actually pretty cool... really... that's how they used to test the parts of a steam engine "locomotive" all the running gear that'd how they done it with a little ball pen thank at 70mph the big boy's running gear is turning a 11, 000 times a minute.. Great video 👍👍👍
