come hang out come say hi can't wait to see you [Music] five five [Music] more Bill Bolt she's loose slash dumb [Music] thank you [Music] what's up everybody FSC Trucking this copper wire is what's left of the tachometer sending unit just counts the teeth as it spins on the ring gear I guess I forgot to mention if you're just starting this video what we're doing is we're replacing a flywheel because the rain gear split and broke off so I'd love to know how in the world that happened but the fact of the matter is about two years ago we put a new transmission in this truck and what we did we put a new clutch in it we put a slightly bigger Hub flywheel in it that way it goes with this what is it like a 10 and a half inch Hub rather than a little one it was eight or seven or something like that so I got the caterpillar re-man flywheel and that was two years ago there's nothing wrong with the clutch everything's fine it's just uh I went into a clutch adjustment and I bumped the starter and luckily it happened right here and I went to bump the starter and just to rock the engine over and it just spun like the gear in the starter was just spinning against the flywheel but not actually engaging the teeth assuming the starter went out it's not that uncommon that well some of these parts are not the best uh best manufacturing Parts on planet Earth most of the Chinese see them nowadays um I just put a new starter in it and the new starter acted just like the other one did so turns out ring gear broke on the flywheel so I pulled the transmission out backed it up got the clutch out and now we're gonna get ready to stick our face in and see what kind of Carnage is in this uh flywheel and what kind of funnel we're gonna have to get it out so with that let's get this video started alrighty boys and girls I wow I am disgusting yikes all right well whatever I dive into my work I didn't expect this level of Carnage although maybe I did so this is the shifter it works the transmission Transmissions right here behind me transmission's right here behind me and uh let's check out the Carnage in here that's not supposed to be that way metal shavings on the bottom where it fragged off that's crazy all right well let me go ahead and rig this up so I can get it out of here um I need to put I'm gonna put a strap to it hook it to the cherry picker then I'll climb back in here and I'll impact all 12 bolts out [Music] oh come on [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] gear is still in a truck [Music] thank you alrighty boys and girls here's the new parts from Badger rebuild down in Milwaukee again they're the guys that redid the transmission they did both rear ends for me well they rebuilt the rears that shop up in Minnesota and stalled them but these are new parts so what I got is flywheel exact same clutch that we just took apart a pilot bearing and then bolts we also have a new clutch brake on a universal joint okay so he told me that this flywheel is a different thickness than the one that came with this truck Factory meaning that the part where it bolts to the engine is thinner these are the factory bolts that came out of my truck from brand new these are the new bolts that they said should go with this flywheel there is a difference in length they're about I'm gonna say a quarter inch shorter than the other I'll put it against the wall so you can see this the new bolt that needs to go in we'll just fire all the same washers now the way he explained it to me is that the new flywheel is more of a C15 style flywheel which is adapted to the 3406b this should be how it opened it yet should be lower notice of it and I got to go down and get it tomorrow this should be a 12 volt hole flywheel where a C15 is eight bolt hole the flywheels are lighter and a little thinner but it will work with the new clutch this flywheel I don't know where Badger gets them from but the one I had was caterpillar reman and well it's two years old and you see how that played out for me so I'm not gonna dog on caterpillar but I'm not happy this should not happen so let's tear into our new flywheel see what it looks like in comparison the old one excellent alrighty this is the engine side this is the clutch side all right [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] these are not the right bolts they're too long but they're for guiding the clutch onto the flywheel I'll just put one or two of them in [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] who wow that was a fight no damn wow all right [Music] thank you alrighty boys and girls I got to Camp down because well for as far as I know we're done with the exception of a clutch adjustment that was how this all started to begin with so with that I'm gonna go ahead and put in neutral and it is unneutral should be and they hadn't fire it up make sure to starter will engage the flywheel properly and so on and then uh go ahead and do the clutch adjustment first I got to check make sure to clutch break will engage when I step on to Pedal all the way down and then adjust that first then I can make actual adjustment on the clutch itself and get the proper free play into pedal once you do that we're done but it's not been the easiest thing to get here run day three I think okay one two three please state three so with that and I've been completely buy myself this job too by the way so all right we'll talk about that in the future so with that I'm gonna go ahead and check this out I do have Jen here helping me today so you're gonna help me straighten up the shop so she's gonna uh help me with the clutch adjustment if need be because I'll just gotta do is step on a clutch and release it and get free play all right let's be happening it goes nothing thank you I say the Red Gear works [Music] thank you foreign a little more free travel in the actual clutch itself but other than that it's done works fine so uh open that door actually open both of them [Music] but anyway that's that so Flex Works everything's good we're gonna run the tricks replay adjustment on the actual clutch itself and that'll be that pull it outside if it's not of the trailer onto the next called dispatch it says hey we need a load I'd be it now of course we'll film that for you guys too so that's it thanks for watching and uh we'll see if I get another load then that'd be great we'll film that if not then uh Lord knows I got work around here to do later [Music] [Applause] [Music]
