Pro tip: I started using a cheap underwater camera to check my cutterhead teeth before a pull.
Back in the day, we'd just guess or waste a whole morning pulling it up for nothing. Now I can see the wear in real time from the cab, which saved me a full day on a job in Mobile last month. Anyone else found a simple tool that saves a ton of time on inspection?

Mobile, Alabama? That's the part that got me. You're telling me you saved a full day on a job down there with a camera you bought for what, a hundred bucks? I've lost count of the times we've pulled a head in that heat just to find the teeth were fine. The idea of just looking first feels like cheating.

Right? "Just looking first" is the whole game now. @the_lucas's story proves it, we used to just guess and tear stuff apart.

Remember my buddy Jake working on that old grain truck outside Biloxi. Spent half a Saturday fighting a starter he swore was dead. Borrowed a cheap scope from his kid, snaked it down the bell housing, and found the whole flywheel ring gear had just sheared clean off. Saved him from pulling the transmission for nothing.
