This old John Deere B was restored and then parked for many years. Can we get it running?

My Robot tries to run things over for 4-5 seconds before stopping and going around. A certain segment of the population finds that annoying. ... It certainly can't ride a Unicycle.. Wow ! Congrats ! Lol
If I join them... can I then, much like a pirate, take command and then sail my 455c Backhoe thru your neck of the woods pillaging and plundering at every 7-11 in my path? No? Well, shit. Guess I'll just keep watching and not terrorizing the seven seas and the three corn-fields.
Lidl in Uk sell that self amalgumating tape , works real good , I need another roll but Lidl loves to go out of stock , Shame as it was cheap as chips !
well, Lucas Oil (20063), Plus Restore (00009) 4-Cylinder Formula Engine Restorer and 10W 40 conventional or diesel conventional oil, I'm just an old fart but it still runs and synthetic will leak, ask me how i know
Have you considered doing the channel membership thing, Wes?
As a small business owner myself, all I can say is that burnout is nothing to trifle with. I really wish you all the best in finding a better balance. You're obviously an extremely talented and intelligent individual and I'm sure you'll find your way. Selfishly, I hope it means KZhead full-time so that I can cope with my own burnout by living vicariously through you and the other mechanics/tinkerers I follow . Good luck my friend!
Aman!
Burnout starts when you're 18 and last until you the day you retire.
Well said. Wes you deserve more moments like the last clip with family.
That's a nice comment. I just left one myself, but different in tone. I'm very sceptical of social media as a fulltime profession. Especially now the music has stopped with the insane monetary experiment of the last 15 years. I wouldn't make a hasty decision of turning down work in the real economy. That's not meant as a criticism, but rather as a kindly worded warning not to put all your eggs in one basket. The demand for skilled mechanics will only increase as there is a massive shortage of these expert mechanics. And it seems to me, KZhead is extremely dependent on advertising revenue. If you look at some of the extremes in social media, take a look at Stradman and that insanely expensive house he has a mortgage on. If the advertisement and endorsement income falls off a cliff, how is he supposed to make mortgagepayments that size in this new higher interestrate environment. Because no, we're never going back to zero percent interestrate policies and therefor no artificially cheap mortgage rates. Kudoos to each and everyone making a living on KZhead....really, if you make your living doing this, that's great. But always, always have something to fall back on. KZhead has really only been around for a decade, who can tell what the next decade looks like...
@@harryireland1935Agreed 100%.
Your demeanor and the way you present yourself is priceless you're obviously very well-educated and you've developed an acquired sense of humor. By far one of the best channels on KZhead
Agree
This guy is a legend
I’m just a suburban guy and I can’t get enough of his channel. Maybe it’s my fam background as Kansas wheat farmers 🤔
Great, interesting video Wes
I love his layback attitude not loud solves problems all the best from down under 🇦🇺👍🦘
Ive been a self employed mechanic for over 20 years and I can relate to everything youre going through. A few years ago I sold my large business and started a very small shop . It worked for a little while then people found me again . Im learning to say no to people and not worrying if theyre disappointed when I cant or wont do as they demand . Much respect to you Wes.
Don't know how much right or wrong I am since I'm not a business-man, but Wes could look at hiring a couple of people to take care of the work. Concentrate on maintaining quality with oversight. Have his knowledge and expertise available for quick turnaround. He can try this for 4-6 months and see how well it works out. Finding good shops is pretty difficult as it is. And there can be a middle way where his customers can keep benefiting. As for me at 37, I'm in IT for last 14 years, half my scalp is white, and in another 2-3 years I'm retiring. Can't take this anymore.
@@vaibhavdlv managing people is almost as bad (or worse) than dealing with customers.
@@vaibhavdlv Yeah I've done similar to what Wes does (smaller, and not cars) and I'll tell you right now, most people like Wes or myself would rather lose 3-5 fingers than manage (babysit, really) people all day. Finding people that aren't idiots is basically impossible, so working alone it is. Less money in your pocket and more overhead, too. Some of us (such as myself) also saw their parents or grandparents run over-large, over-extended businesses into the ground. Keep it small, keep it simple, keep it from going tits-up. When you've got employees, you've got people other than your own family depending on you--fuck that, man.
@@shmackie It's worse--at least the customers give you money and fuck off when they're done. Employees are a massive babysitting exercise unless you're the luckiest person in the world and manage to hire someone good. Nobody but you will ever care about your business as much as you, and it costs me nothing (other than grey hair) to work 14 hour days if I want.
@@HANKTHEDANKESTheaven forbid you might have to train someone lmfao. That kind of attitude is exactly why you can’t find someone worth a damn.
Wes, As a 74 year man who was an OTR owner operator for over 30 years, I can tell you personally that burning the candle at both ends and sometimes in the middle, will make you an old man before your time. Just one thing I will say is nothing is more important than your family except for God. Always make time for family no matter how busy you are, even if it means letting something else go. It will work out. You and Eric O are my favorite channels. I hardly ever post online, but just wanted you to know how much an old man enjoys your videos. Thanks for all you do. God Bless!
great comment
Everything you said minus the nonsense about god. Put family before mythology pls FFS guys.
Get rid of the religious stuff & I agree .(No religion of any ilk is gonna make it work better.)
@@LesReeves Are you not concerned about you eternal future after death?
@@HANKTHEDANKEST GOD is not nonsense. How did you become you? The Holy Spirit is "the Lord and Giver of life." (Nicene Creed.)
Wes I owned a small trucking company and I can relate to every word you said. I burned the candle at both ends and in the middle. I finally was in major burnout mode so I sold my trucks and miscellaneous supplies gathered up my money and retired. The best thing I ever did. I’m with you 100% and will stand behind you in whatever direction you choose to go. I really enjoy your videos and humor also your family. Best of luck ❤
Your one in a million Wes, take care of yourself.
*You’re
@jumpinjojo always that one person who has to be a fcuk witt.
Wes, you're an honest guy, something that is in short supply these days. Glad that you are staying with us.
He said last video that he’s closing
I am not going to lie. As a mechanically inclined 56 year old man, I love your channel as I learn little tidbits of knowledge every video. Thanks for the time and videos.
Your channel is the definition of an 'adventure'. Something dangerous, or hard, often uncomfortable, happening to somebody else. Keep up the good work! :)
I’ve been where you are, bud, I’ve had a time when my brain would shut down and I would just stare into nothing with everything going on around me and expecting my attention. I too was the “go to” guy and i didn’t want to let my customers down. That said, I am now retired at 70, I have made many people/customers “happy” over the years to the point that I get no phone calls from any of those customers now just wanting to see how I am and showing appreciation. What I took away from all this is that a customer’s “happiness” is only a temporary state of mind. They will forget you as soon as they have no more use for you. Find your own pace that you can comfortably handle, enjoy your job that you excel at, take care of yourself and your family, and as another comment that you received already, increase your prices and strictly adhere to some sort of working hours. There is a chronic shortage of real mechanics/technicians and the demand for your abilities will increase. In the end, reward yourself and your family.
i, too, thought that the cost to get Wes needed to increase. and I thought finding dedicated down time to be essential. 😊
It's a shame this channel have only 250k subscribe, the quality of the content and the narrative you give us, deserves to be known by more people. Good luck!
It's still a quarter of a million. For a channel on fixing stuff it is no mean feat. I saw Wes get a mention on Puddin's channel and Mortske mentions Wes regularly.
@@IGDZILLAfunny you say puddin mentioned him, wes has more subs than puddin does. I believe more than mortske as well
Wes, I am a product of the early sixties when I actually knew what a tool was and how to use it. I started before, with the grease gun and somehow it snowballed into a life of wrenching for which I do not regret. In my final years of mechanicing, I had the similar problem of working 24/7 and a lanter was my pillow. Waking up from a nap under a truck or car and wondering how much stuff I did was wrong... starting off with the "check everything I did". I would reflect on in my first day of saying "I've had enough" so if I am going to bust my haunches, then its going to be my dollar and not build a business for someone else. I worked for a drunk who was paying sub standard and then missing pay days but always had a box of beer in front of him. I rolled up my boxes, went through some of his, and found the rest of my tools that were good tools. When it hit his foggy brain that I was serious, he says, "Yal never make it PAL!" but nonetheless, rolled up and left feeling all the sudden "Did I do the right thing" as it was scary times and no one had much work. I pulled into my own driveway which consisted of a trailer and a tarp over some poles to keep rain off of me while wrenching. I get out of my truck and greet my two buddies that were the love of my life.... my two dogs. I've told you this story before and none of it really changes except like yourself, wish I had done it sooner. My dogs are happy, daddy is home, they had my attention mostly, but this voice kept hollering Hey Morgan, can I talk to you. I go back to his rig and ask what he wanted, and it was Can you swap the engine out of my motorhome? Well cause nothing was really solid in life.. said yeah, I'll do it and promptly bid the dang job way way too cheap. God loved me that day as I found out the GMC motorhome was designed for a engine removal. Soon as I found that, I had that engine out in just about a hour or so.... it wasn't long, as it was much easier than a over the rad supports style. I had this job done so fast that the guy spread the rumor that "This guy is fast, good and doesn't charge a arm and leg... within a week, I had weeks of work setting in the yard!!!!! After that, it was no looking back except to say , why did I cheat myself out of the better dollars??? I apologize for poorly structured sentences and too long badly worded ways of saying that things have a way of working out. I for one would understand the "I quit" but buddy, I'd miss ya for sure. I went with this hospice thing to feel better but its just the same thing, I feel horrible but now I can't go to a hospital. I have to go to their place where they disperse meds and stuff and leave me feeling hopeless and helpless for ever getting past this pain. I will be seventy four in october and with the way things are going, I am going to cheat that guy out of a job attaching a toe tag on me for a while. So my pearl of wisdom here is... Keep your head up and smile, think of the good things that your able to enjoy as you have a great little family and many many people who do care about all of you and your family. You will have to adhere to the "knock off at five" for a long time as you see its only another five minutes and its done. Five minutes always turns into a hour or more
Wes, thanks for being such a honest real person. Your hard work shows in every video and many people appreciate that aspect as well as your talents. You also have a great family. Thanks
When I first started watching you, it was when you were working to try an start the old equipment in your secret spot. I will continue to watch you in your next chapter.
Hey Wes, I appreciate what you do, whatever it may be. Regardless, it's a relief to hear you're sticking around. Just remember that you owe us nothing.
Hi Wes, thanks for the great videos. A couple of days after I turned 62 I had a mild stroke and quit working. It was hard. My natural inclination is to want to help people but I realized that there was an endless number of people who have things that needed fixing and only I could say no. They're still calling me 4 and a half years later.... and every once in a while I have helped/fixed something but it's pretty rare now. Life is too short to die working on someone else's problems. Take care of you and yours and let the world take care of itself
Similar arthritis of both kinds got me I still have days I can't say no but mostly it's my own vehicles & mothers house & her that get all my attention ( My mum is 91).Cheers remember the old saying "any day above is a good one".(I'm 65).
Whatever you end up doing,you have my admiration, respect and regard both for your skill at your craft and the grace of your demeanor. I am glad you are on the planet. Best luck!
Just started my own service truck a month ago and was asked if i was going to do a KZhead thing at the same time because my wife always sees me watching you guys. I said no way, those people are crazy. I respect what youve done up till now and even more so with changing your life to make it better for yourself. Best of luck to ya man. Put your feet up and enjoy life a bit too
The low key sarcasm is one reason I watch that said there is usually truth behind the sarcasm. Don't lose the sarcasm. Keep going and I'll keep watching just make time for you and family. I've had numerous chances to go it alone and unfortunately looking back I didn't do it. Now I'm too old. There are a lot of old savings " Strike while the Iron is hot" is one that comes to mind . GOOD LUCK😊
Ran my own rig for years. Definitely a lot of work out there. There is no way my customers would ever allowed me to film. There was never the time, nor would they want there equipment plastered all over you tube. Could you imagine rolling up on a 50 gallon oil spill and then broadcasting that on you tube???
I do some pretty wild repairs often out in the woods, would make good content but the comment section kills it for me lol all the arm chair mechanics and random idiots that couldn’t change a tire are almost as bad as the people sucking your ass
@@IDT69 Well, you could disable comments - that's an option, you know. ;)
@@Bannimann2 yup you sure could but you ever notice when a channel does that they don’t get many views, if I’m going thru the trouble of recording and editing I want that view money lol
I love how, like a sundial, Stonehenge or the Georgia Guidestones, we can use the Goldwing's position around the shop to track the passage of time.
A fork in the road so to speak, work hard to build the business up and along came the you tube! I say you have been blessed!
Kudos for building your business and KZhead channel simultaneously. Without at least one good, competent assistant, it is a burnout in progress. Competent, loyal, trustworthy help is as rare as an honest politician. That's unfair to say, there are no honest politicians. Whatever you have planned, I'm with you.
Kinda figured this was your direction. The last several of your vids have been really entertaining: the props, story line, videography are at another level. It's nice to have options, and as my Dad told me: "If you don't enjoy your work, do something else." Best wishes to you and the family moving forward! 😀
Dear Wes: Mrs. Wes, kiddo and your physical and emotional health come first. I’ll still be here watching learning and enjoying - thanks. Pete
I never get tired of old tractor repair videos.
Thanks for making me feel old again. This all seems like basic stuff that I learned many moons ago. Another fine repair job by Wes. 👍
These are very simple tractors.
@@WatchWesWorkthats what makes them great.
I have had the unfortunate experience of old neglected tractors. Thanks for the video Wes
I pulled a Few A John Deere's out of the Fence Rows and Changed Blocks Pistons and Heads back in the Day Was taught by the School of Hard Knocks And I Sure Enjoyed it but I couldn't do it Now I am Getting Arthritis in my Hands
I've been watching since the CNC repair days. I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings. I've got my fingers crossed for municpal snow plow and garbage truck rustorations. Cheers! 🎉
Once again, thanks for stopping by Wes. BTW, have you considered hiring a retired person or anyone with some skills that can also be your videographer and editor? Having someone dedicated to that task would probably pay huge dividends, both personally and professionally. Work life balance is a real thing. Wishing you the best my friend.
I feel for you Wes, I know exactly how you feel. I'm in emergency health, but if feels like you are farting against thunder constantly nowadays. I've always thought what a highly intelligent man you are, and the fact you do a drawing as it's easier than finding the words, proves this. Your drawing skills are amazing, maybe you could get a side job doing that! Plus, your gasket making skills are beautiful to see. You need a rest, a change, something to light your fire again. Remember you, and your family come first Wes, not money, not a KZhead channel, look after Wes first. Trust me, I'm 20 years older than you and have learned the hard way. Thank You for what you do Wes, and your loyal viewers thank you too. I have many, many channels I'm subscribed to, but yours has always been my favourite. That's huge praise considering channels like VGG, Diesel Creek etc are in my list. Have a well deserved rest my friend.
This brings tears to my eyes, my dad loved his “ Deere B “ he’s gone and so is the tractor I repaired ! Thanks
Brings back memories of growing up on farm in MN. Spent every summer on JD B cultivating corn like this manual cultivator. Back in the day... 50s/ 60s.
I learned how to curse watching my grandfather work in these when I was growing up. Never seemed to be a shortage of issues, but he loved them all the same.
"I have a lot of questions." Mrs. Wes speaks for all of us.
Best wishes on your new adventure! Some of your fellows seem to make a decent living at playing with big boy toys, your buddy Matt over at Diesel Creek, for example. Guys like you are the inspiration for the rest of us wannabe hacks that are experts at disassembly, and little else.
You’re my very favourite mechanical engineer on KZhead. I too was self employed for a number of years in heavy engineering and then when my knees gave out, I retrained in IT, so after working twelve, sometimes fourteen hour days keeping customers online and networked, I know what burnout feels like. Take care of yourself and your wonderful family. Good luck Wes, we’ll be here whatever you decide to do. All the best.
Its so important to be able to know our limits and to know when we have pushed ourselves beyond them, running 2 businesses(youtube and the garage) and being there for your family can't be easy. So happy you were able to take a step back and see the big picture and make changes to improve your world. Have fun working on what you want to work on instead of crusty old snow plows! Oh and another episode with Matt at Diesel Creek would be awesome, he quoted you this week and i had to laugh, "its only temporary unless it works".
Wes, you have a God given talent for what you are doing, way above average intelligence, loads of experience, honestly, it’s by far the best YT channel for this kind of content. I pray & wish for you to grow this channel, & become super successful, thank you!
god given huh, seems like a bit of a slap in his face for the years of hard work and schooling that gave him the ability to accrue that load of experience. Perhaps its within WE as individuals to better our lives and not the charity of an invisible psychopath. Pray on that for a bit
@@crli4353 As a pastifarian... I resemble that remark. Arrrrrr, matey!
@@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin as you should, he boiled for your sins
@@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin Gotta love the satire
Wes man my heart goes out to you and the family your skill are endless and your educating us your viewers in all thing is as thorough I also had a job that tore me in half mind racing and despair at times all because I didn’t know how to say NO well eventually I learned and although it hurt it was less stressful that saying yes to every job that came my way ? I’m so pleased we get to see you still working on your own projects but will always be greatful for keeping me sane during Covid Lock down and beyond ! Thank You Wes and family
Totally understandable Wes. As my father told me years ago "work will flow to the competent person until they are submerged". And rather than competent you're talented. I really enjoy every video regardless of the topic, and finding balance that results in more videos is great for us. But I can't help but feel empathy for your customers losing access to someone of your talent and ethics of doing the job right. They're about to realize how blessed they have been. I hope you find the balance that brings happiness to you and your family!
We as in the town I live in lost our only auto sparky recently & now have to travel 60klms to get any help so I can emphathise with customers but as with our situation you got go with the flow whinging about it ain't gonna help.
Thank goodness you are staying with KZhead. I’ve been a fan since the beginning and I thought I’d lost my favorite creator.👍
I've never owned a business, but if I was overloaded with work, I would raise my rates until it became manageable.
That used to work. The problem is that few skilled individuals are left in the "skilled" trades. If someone is knowledgeable and reliable they'll be swamped at any price. I now charge clients/customers a minimum of one hour just to pick up the phone. My phone seldom stops ringing.
@@841k9 Na, there is always a price. I got quoted for a driveway repaving, told an old timer that retired 5 years ago what the rate was. His jaw hit the floor, and he said he would be embarrassed to ask that much. Manual labor is in short supply. People should get paid what they are worth for wearing out their body. People pushing paper and manipulating money have no shame taking a huge cut.
Wishing you and your family all the best for the future. This is one of the best, most informative, and genuine channels on here.
Do what you need to do. Life is too short and kids grow up too fast. Thank you for all your work-you have made me a better mechanic again and again with your vids. Thanks, Wes!
The knob on the steering wheel used to be called a Brodie Knob back in the day. They were popular on cars before power steering took over.
If you keep posting, I'll keep watching. Guaranteed
I’m just relieved that you are continuing to make videos. I always loved them and I’m sure whatever you post in the future will be just as good. Best wishes from the UK.
You are rapidly becoming the only video worth watching on the media I watch!
Your very busy because your great at everything you do Wes and Mrs Wes🎉. Will follow u dead end road together 👍🎯🎯
I wish you and your family all the best, you are super talented. Be well.
There are two models of tractors that I have always loved the sound of: The old two cylinder John Deers and the 2 stroke diesel Olivers.
Wes, really glad to hear your channel will continue. Maybe we can be watching a squirrel hunting video in the future, squirrel season is right around the corner. And always, your making it run videos are great. Best of luck on your channel.
Sorry to say, but I know every nut and bolt you touched on that B. I am in my 60's now, but we had model B, A's, 60's, 70's, 520, 720's, and a 55 combine. We did all the work ourselves, including splitting them in half and pulling the crankshaft. You keep it up. Great job. We just sold my dad's farm, which still contained a lot of this equipment. All sold off and bulldozed now. :(
Whatever you decide is OK with us Wes !!! You do what is best for you and your family !!!
Looking forward to Watching Wes Work even more! Your videos have been a great source of both entertainment and learning over the years, hopefully you can find some more balance, while still doing the same for us!
Wes, I follow a lot of youtubers that produce similar content to yours. Whether it's mechanic stuff, welding, fabrication, or something along those lines. I've noticed that with almost all youtubers, their channel absolutely skyrockets as soon as they dedicate 100% of their time and energy to the channel, instead of multiple things at once. There's some saying out there about how the difference between a good product and a great product is like 70% more work, but the return you get from a great product vs a good product is a 1,000x higher. I may have butchered that, but you get the idea. I think freeing up time to focus on your channel will pay off in droves. Best of luck with however you decide to proceed. I know I'll always be watching!
In my experience, all antique tractors that get restored are subsequently forgotten. At least that was the case for my grandpa’s fleet. He got them running, wire wheeled rust for two weeks, bought a $25 gallon of paint from Running’s, and parked it in the shed with the rest. Great memories!
In it for the long haul... what separates you from some of the others is kindness, times the square root of knowledge, plus or minus a very dry sense of humor = GENIUS!! Do what you do and I'm sure we will all be here to watch your every move.
Very exciting future ahead, Wes. I wish you all the best and we will surely hang around to follow you on your journey! 🍀👍🏻❤️
Wes both my wife and myself watch and 100% enjoy every minute of the content you put up on KZhead, your heart is in the right place always, you connect to life and you are very talented, I am truly sorry you may be having this problem that most content creators have, we both hope you can step back and take a decision that's in your favor, you have our up most admiration. Thank you. from the UK .
That poor tractor. 😢 My heart broke when I saw all that water in the oil.
Will be the best decision you've ever made, build the channel, with content you wish to make. Everything you have done so far does you credit. Looking forward to the new content, or just content. Remember most of us watch your channel for your wonderful personality.
Sure, encourage him to turn his back on the community of people who have helped him grow his business frem scratch, so you can be entertained periodically. He can wind up trapped like Mustie-dragging home frapped out junk every week and dicking around for an hour...
a one man band can only do so much for so long Wes. the projects youve taken on as a one man band are mind blowing in themselves. YT has its own set of challenges, frustrations. trying to find that balance between running the one man band shop, YT, Wes time, family time definitely challenging. whatever road you take, do whats best for you
We will support you Wes! The channel is growing and the content just keeps getting better.
Hiya Wes, you mentioned it was stored inside, all the water in the Headlights would have said to me that the old girl has seen the outside a fair amount of time. Great show and please keep up the good work, stay safe, regards to you and your family
I am so glad that you are not leaving youtube. Sometimes you have to do what is right for you and your family. I wish you good luck on your adventures.
The luxury of no rotten frames and rust. You're living the dream. Cool tractor.
When Rainman Ray's Repairs finally became his own boss, I suggested he ask you for tips on how to run a business AND youtube at the same time. It didn't take him long to hire a second mechanic. Once you generate enough revenue via youtube, then it's time to hire someone to do the filming and editing.
I have been watching your channels for years now and have enjoyed it! Whatever you decide for you and your family I wish you nothing but the best!
I'm sure that everyone in your area who needs stuff worked on is worried. I certainly would be if I lived near you. Make the best decision for your family and you. All we really want is your health and happiness. If you continue making content for KZhead, you'll have at least this one subscriber! Thanks for all of the laughs and learning.
@JonPMeyer AMEN! I'll still be here
YESSSS! More videos! We are here for you!
Thank YOU Wes !
Always looking forward to your workshop videos! Thanks for this one.
I know it's difficult, but you're a very talented and smart guy we all know you can do it, just please be careful and safe and take good care of your family, that's most important, I really appreciate your videos, thank you for what you do.
Hey Wes, as an old guy mechanic I really respect your approach and determination. We had a slightly older B on our farm (flywheel start) . That B sounds like it has a weak condenser or some tight valves to me. Hope it helps, John
THanks for all you do
Hi Wes, the way cars are being made we all need people like you. Best of luck on your next go around
Wishing you all the best I love your videos and I hope you continue but you have to do what's right for your family
Love the content and cant wait for more frequent uploads.
Love your channel with all the diversity of content. Good luck on whatever you venture into.
Wes, family first then hobby then work. Sure as hell do not want anything to happen to you or your family. You have awesome channel but not worth losing your mind over for sure. If you find a happy balance, so be it but if not, find happiness sir. Lovely wife, truly adventurous son and loving dog. Go for it and we will still be her and watching. Thanks for all you and family do for us. ❤
Thank you Wes for the good news (for us here on KZhead)🙌 I always look forward to your videos, and you (and a lot of other KZheadrs) always gets the thumbs up before starting the video! Best regards from Håkan in Sweden
First off I don’t read anything on the internet, I watch YT videos. Secondly, glad to hear you’re addressing the overwork issue. If you decide to stop videos, we can always start from the beginning and watch them again. I may have read that on the internet….🤔😀
Always a pleasure Wes
I think it is a smart decision Wes. Your content is great, there is enough room for your channel to grow. I personally follow other youtubers like you, diesel creek muistie1, etc and they have grown over time. Don't be affraid! Your audience is here 😊
Any video with Mrs. Wes is a good video. Wes, you didn't need to do all that work. All you needed was the Mortske flick...would have taken care of everything. 🤣
Sweet tractor! My grandad and dad had a 1951 B restored when I was a kid probably 15 or 20 years ago... We still have it. Used to antique tractor pull it.
Thank you Wes. Always enjoyed your stuff.
Good luck with the decision. I am sure whichever way you go you will make a success of it!
Thank you for it all, wes (and all those that make it possible for you)
Allways quality content. Don't worry about anyone else...Whatever you end up doing, just make sure you and your family are happy.
Watched this twice enjoyed both time's. Thank you
Good luck Wes and family, spend time chilling out and doing what you like on your second channel.
Your videos are always great. Your mechanical expertise is always entertaining and educational. I believe you have the same “it” as Derek on VGG. I really hope that some day you will look back at this decision and, like you said, wish you had done it sooner. You’re so busy because you are so good. You need to be more selective and change more. You have a talent that is very in demand. Huge fan!!!
Thanks Wes, I really love your videos as they are already. Your sense of humor, and all the explanation. You are doing a great job, Thanks!
Wes - you are wonderful. Thank you for great videos.
I’m really happy with your decision Wes. I’m here every video and watch them all as soon as I see them posted Fingers crossed for you 🤞👍🙏👏
Best of luck Wes hope everything works out for you & the fam! Thanks for the video.
You are without a doubt my favorite KZhead channel. I am glad you are taking the plunge. I was a facilities manager for a big automotive supplier and got burned out. I started a handyman business and my only regret was I didn’t start sooner.
Always appreciate your Videos, Wes. I wish you all the success in the future. Thanks.
