Flying Wrench videos

Recommended Posts

Brockport Bill

Discovered someone a few weeks ago called Flying Wrench videos on Facebook - - very entertaining and informative -- suggest Red Sq members may want to check it out ?? I know there are many members here who do not do FB but if you do its worth a few minutes.. I believe he may be on other media outlets as well ?????????

 

he is a young guy, maybe mid-late 20s in Virginia area who has a traveling home visit repair business for Tractors, lawn mowers etc -- ( started the business himself, never worked in a shop, no college ) . The cool thing is he does video of every repair which is about 6 appointments daily -- i have not seen his entire inventory of videos but at 6 per day ( editted ) he has lots of fresh content -- some videos are short few minutes others maybe 15 - 20 minutes I have not seen a WH yet but all the usual other manufacturers -- Cadet, Craftsman, Deere, Troy Bilt, etc - and even a few "Go carts" or other small engine repairs -- 

 

His customized repair van is insanely impressive - he did the build out himself - the organization and tools and spare parts he has is incredible - all Milwaukee - also has power lift on back of van hooked to the bumper area tongue that lifts front tractor axles so he can do mower deck service and repair - Some repairs are simple maintenance - others more involved carb replace - electrical - pulleys - belts etc - His problem solving diagnostics is pretty interesting as he goes through the step by step elimination to solution - eg: why it won't run ?????

 

His video isn't as much like You Tubes that tend to be more "educational content"  but he does explain as he does the repair what he's doing -- so for Rd Sq members with some knowldge of the basics you will find he explains just enough to sustain your interest without being to simple or to complex.

 

One thing i find interesting are his opinion comments about the various manufacturers which many members here will apprecaite considering the simplicity of our WH engineering - also what i realized is how many others are vertical shaft tractors with all the pulleys and machanicals under the frame.

 

lastly, he also shows what $ he charges which is also informative

 

Enjoy -- Bill
