As a kid I worked for an Auto Electric Rebuilder . This was before permanent magnet and gear reduction units .,m I would go to repair shops and parts stores . One thing I ran into was parts stores using THIN jumper cables on a bench test . Some of the starters were tight , due to the front and rear bushings being replaced . I had people return good units because of those thin cables . I then used one heavy battery cable and grounded the starter body on the negative post . Almost all were good . When buying jumper cables , get at least 4 Guage or HEAVIER . The thinner guage are a waste of time and money . The lower the number , the heavier the guage . And those cheap jump boxes can leave you walking .

After the red chevy truck repair, this was a cake walk 👍

I was screaming "tap the solenoid with a hammer!" on the old starter.

Hey Ivan, there is some satisfaction in variety. I enjoy mobile repairs as it gets me out of the workshop. I ran a mobile mechanical workshop for 8 years, but as I get older, am grateful for a workshop to work in.

I repair pumps for a living. I am the only factory trained repairman in the USA, for an English manufacturer. Very specialized. The value of having the knowledge in a specialized area can reap financial rewards. And major corporations losing thousands an hour will pay anything to get them back up and running.

Great work Ivan, I love how you will work on absolutely anything very commendable

Great job man! Look forward to all the crazy stuff you'll bring us in 2020 😀👍

Day off morning coffee and a PHA video. Now that's a New Year that is starting off great. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Ivan looking forward to some more great videos.

Thanks, Ivan! That was a refreshing change of pace.

Short and sweet, but always with great thoroughness! Always fun to watch you work, Ivan! Happy New Year!

Is neat that the concept Remains the Same between a car and a scissor lift. I watched another video of yours on another scissor lift and thank you for the information that you provide.

Happy new year Ivan and family.

Happy New Year Ivan! Another great video. Hard hat, and will travel.

Yeah, a little variety! Well done Ivan. Looking forward to what we can learn together as we dive into a diagnostic 2020 with you!

You are right about not many people working on construction equipment. I worked on a lot of very old dirt-moving machines many years ago, as a second job. My time was much less than what the Cat service was. Nowadays things are much more complex with the advent of computers in everything. But I like it that way, more need for an electronics tech. :)

Especially appreciate your logical, clear comments as you progress thru a "situation", thanks.

Great video to kick off the new year! As always thanks for sharing!

Word of mouth getting you these jobs? Great stuff Ivan and yes, I'm excited for 2020!
