Make sure the Reese’s are all the way in😀😃😄
Mmmm reeses 🍬 😊
My drill is still buried in snow here in east central saskatchewan
@@richardradawetz6192 wow. I live in Idaho and the snow is almost all gone. were already planting onions and potatoes here
You mean races right? LOL 😆
I want all the Reese's inside me 🤤
I've done some sketchy stuff in my life but I don't think I've ever lifted a 50,000 pound tractor with a bottle jack on a jack stand then walked under it. I'm glad y'all put something under it. I was having a heart attack lol.
"I'm going to tinker with this."
Rebuilds half a vehicle or something.
Waking those BIG BUDS is like the bears comming out of hibernation. Good to see that the spring weather is on the way.I 😃
Your parents can really be proud of their son's, you two guys have learned well congrats to your mentors!
Here here ... well said Russell
And the farm will bring running for many years.
I'm being schooled by them. They say I take too much recess time😊
Be Safe and Be Patient out there around all that heavy iron you guys! Successful preparations are a great start for a productive season. -Bob...
Growing up on a farm with older equipment I noticed it was about 90 percent mechanic work and about 10 percent field work!
I remember some one in Cole’s comments that said farmers are Mechanics with an oversized gardening hobby
@@Dwight_D_Eisenhower underrated comment
The John Deere brings back some great memories from the 80's growing up on a Georgia farm. One of JD's best tractor of its era.
From all the farm channels I'm subscribed to, you guys are probably the most who use the most used equipment when it comes to farmers farming a thousand acres or more. Most have newer equipment. Looks like you guys can get the job done.
UA-cam Dairy Farm New York they have tractors with 30000 Plus hours. Unreal what they do to fix stuff.
Love watching all you guys work together, you make a great team!
Great job fixing the semi LegArms
Our operation uses those air filter cleaners regularly with daily maintenance. They work really well to clean them out. One thing is to make sure you have set up properly though, if not those spinning bits can snap and break. Very good investment for what they are worth and the performance they do.
Proud of you guys Nick Scott and your Dad for keeping them old tractors and equipment in such good running order. Tip my hat to ya.
With the brake drums you can use a die grinder to take the lip off the edge, then use a sanding drum (like 30 or 60 grit, or something fairly aggressive) on a drill or die grinder just to take the shine off the braking surface (give it like a cross pattern) to allow for better brake shoe bedding in.
Lots of work to get ready for spring planting. You guys are on top of things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi welker farms I sent leg arms I get well card earlier this year and you were part of my inspiration to follow in a farming like my grandfather and yesterday I bought my very own international 986 tractor thanks for the great contents you are great inspiration for me. - Tag
Love seeing all the buds fire up good to see the old Iron come to life
I saw a case skid steer 175 year special red addition just the other day, it was a wheeled version. When i saw it i thought of you guys. It was near Graettinger, a northwest Iowa town.
Seeing the big buds start all I can think is the Greta meme, “How dare you!”
😏😂😂😂👍
I did that in a humvee once, ONCE lol. I took off with the park brake on, didn't notice it until I smelled the burning brakes lol. It was an up armored one too so it was really heavy and if you've every driven one off road, you kinda know the lag in acceleration that is ever present lol. Lesson learned, especially because I had First Sargent as a passenger and I was an E3 at the time lol. He was cool about it. I was so scared he was gonna smoke me but he didn't.
I like how you guys fitted the full poly fenders to the existing 1/4 fenders. 👍
What I remember of growing Barley and cleaning out bins...itchy very itchy:)
You can get most of the oil out of the drums by baking them in the oven clean cycle and then washing them with acetone a couple times.
Bud is now off the shelf. Love where you guys are, sooooooo much room. 🤜🤛🤜🤛👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏🙏
Rubber air lines will be your best friend! No more brittle air lines snapping in cold weather!
Wow that air chisel works wayyy better than a hammer and punch, if only I had that last year when we replaced all of our shanks lol
Finally someone has gotten one of the air filter cleaning kits. I have been wondering for ages if anyone would get one.
Glad to see your arm is healing so well. Very lucky. Sometimes when you get older and injury like that can be life changing. Praise the good Lord for what he has done. Bless you guys and your families and the farm!
Looks like you have a big job on your hands with the sprayer, hopefully the buds are only in need of a oil change. Keep up the good work and keep smiling. Rob from the 🇬🇧
it seams never ending what has to be done ita amazing how guyspull it together god bless welkers
Must be SPRING!!! BUDS ARE COMING OUT!! Great video! Be safe gentleman!
An adapter plate for the tire inflator (the portable air tank with the high output) and one blast you'll near instantly get all the dirt out of your air filters!
Get the arctic air hose set up for the truck. They have 3/8“ rubber hoses and run the armor shielding around hoses and cord. I ran that on truck and they last a lot longer and you can fix them with the regular air hose fittings.
I have the same set up on my truck. More money up front but, like you said, they last much longer.
Safer too, if you blow the emergency line going down the road it's a pretty wild ride. I was behind a truck in Illinois one time where that happened. Luckily he was just leaving a rest stop and wasn't going that fast yet.
yup - those plastic lines don't last in severe weather - rubber hoses all the time!
Drum brakes have "shoes"
Disc brakes have" pads"
That big break drum you put on the truck at the start of the video reminded me about something you don't what to ever do. Back in the late 90s I drove a over night auto parts run. On one night I dropped one of those big break drums on my foot. It broke a couple of my toes. Ouch...!!!
In the scenes like in 5:20 you could turn the music down and let us listen to the tractors, just my opinion.
Seeing that old Deere pull the drill seeder really gives perspective to how the size of equipment has changed.
Another great vid, I’ve never seen the 435 before! I worked late online and wound down with these vids, thanks again fellas!
I don't know about you guys, but I see prepping for spring planting and I get excited.
Granted my farming experience is limited to a backyard garden I used to do as a kid with my dad, and playing farming simulator on xbox, but the two times of the year I get the most excited for is planting and harvest. I'm looking forward to the planting videos!
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mark 4:26
See many others have commented on this. When Nick walked under the rig I just thought oh crap and prayed the darn jack would not give out or fall over or what ever. Betting they will have proper safety supports soon.
Well I have to say the blocks of concrete have every Bud setting on them several times apiece over the years during every rebuild and repair sometimes for an extended periods of time
So many of these things that you do, I did 25/30 years ago.
That brings memory back.
I am sure that you know that your planetary covers will go back in only one position.
It is a good idea to mark them (not with a marker) before disassembly.
Do not ask me how I know that.
Maintenance is key for reliability. If you need it to work at the right time, you need to put that effort into it! Nice work!!
I have learned so much by watching you n armless I'm going to start farming on my own in my back yard. I have a 10'×10' spot in back yard. Thanks for sharing!
Scott, thats an awesome idea you had for the bag roller!
You guys are amazing ... PS: keep some wood cribbing, blocks, old railroad ties, etc to block up Big Bud axle with ...
Your skid steer should have a bypass plug by the window washer hose and wiper wires. So you can take the door off when you need to get out with the boom up.
Drums are ok to reuse, only thing if you can, is to machine/regrind the grooves out of the surface.
Spring is in full swing, so im seeing forward to seeding videos. 👍
You can have all the new stuff but nothing will ever be as awesome as the fleet of Buds!!
Nick I'm in a cold climate here in Idaho too and what I did with my trucks air hoses is I got rid of the plastic air lines and went with DOT rated air hoses for my gladhands. They're cheaper, like $0.80 cents per foot and they're flexible when it's cold.
Id like to make a suggestion about the Semis airlines, my company has been using rubber airlines and in the cold they seem to hold up a lot better than the coiled kind, would definitely be a option to consider.
I retrofitted alot of my trucks in my fleet with rubber airlines and found that if you get a length of Alumishield (flexible aluminum conduit) and shield the airline, it will never rub through..
It's great to see Legarms doing his magic with two fully functioning arms once again :D
Meanwhile in northern Canada 🇨🇦 we're just getting ready to film another snowcat video and waiting for 6 inches more snow on Saturday ha ha ha !!!! Good work as always Boys!!!!
Meanwhile in the midwest we're getting ready to plant corn and beans. If the rain stops. LOL
South west has been in mid to upper 70’s
We made er to 1 degree above freezing today!!!! Woo hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!
I am a retired heavy truck builder and it is good to see you do it right, you will not regret it when it is redone correctly.
You GO guys, lay the smack down on those rigs.. Really enjoy watching you work.. I can watch all day.. to old, to fat, to work on stuff any more but I can watch. You guys be careful out there..
For me, I would want the light on when brakes are applied but I also would want a buzzer to come on when the brakes are applied and put into gear. I think I would be really need that buzzer.
Spring on the farm. Going though all the equipment getting ready to plant. Make sure to have that light / LED showing the brakes are on / off fixed. Not cheap replacing drums / brakes. Take care - hope the family and you are doing well. Be safe 'Spin'
Hey Nick At work we use Breaks and Clutch cleaner to remove oil or grease (we have a box full of spray cans of that cleaning stuff ) It's very efficient :-)
Nice.
Enjoy the Big Buds.
Thanks Welker's
Those Big Buds are awesome! Fun to watch you repair them too.
Thanks for videos
Belle partie de mécanique, bravo👍👍👍
I Love the Big Buds. Welker Farms has the best & unique "tonka-like" tractors.
That shop is so much brighter now!
Dang Nick that home gym has been working for you.
I was thinking the same thing when he was washing his hands... LOLz
Sweet sweet Diesel music. The Big Buds are a thing of beauty!
Always throw away the plastic blue and red curley air lines. Always! Even if new. Always use rubber air hoses. After 30 years of practice this is the best management practice for my truck.
Those milwaukee impacts are awesome tools! We use them at work to take tires off of our road grader and our roller
Nick you looked impressive when pulling out the axle! nice pipes !
Thank you welkers for being safe 👍👍after scotts accident and thinking he might lose his arm im so impressed thank yous thank yous god bless you all stay safe your one of my favorites 😍😉👍🙏
Wind em up boys, it’s almost go time
👍👍 Always amazed at what you guys can repair in that fantastic shop.
Nick, Have the drums turned, since they got that hot they will have hard spots in them and turning will return the drums to a proper contact surface (get rid of the glazing, glass like finish) for the pads and help with the hard spots, it would be a shame to do all that work and it not be fixed right.
Just have Leg Arms turn them down on the lathe
80 grit emery cloth and elbow grease will be sufficient for this application. Nick doesn't need to take 5 years life out of them on the lathe for cosmetic reasons.
He mentioned a ridge. That is more than cosmetic. Flat smooth surface across the contact plane with the pads is ideal.
@@Maligator89 Ideal is nice but a quick swipe of a rasp on the edge of the shoes will accommodate the ridge without losing noticeable braking.
Sure you can rig it many ways. But with a drum that thick and when you have a lathe in your shop why in the world would you cut corners. Do it right the first time. With the weight and speed of that truck personally in my shop that is a shortcut you just don’t do.
I buy brake cleaner by the case. When LegArms was pressure washing off the wheel assembly I would have been using brake cleaner. To each their own I guess.
Wow! The sound of that truck’s engine on first start up was so sweet. It’s ready to haul...., well let’s leave it at that to be civil?
My favorite things on the farm is preparing equipment to roll.
Best thing I’ve seen over my 30 years of cleaning oil, & Grease is Dawn dishwashing liquid. This works great.
It's coming together beautifully!!
Hollywood,doing real work! WOW!!!
Amazing. Such huge machines. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.
Thanks for your video. Appreciate your time to do this for us. I find it absolutely so interesting working on the big buds and big brute. Everything is super sized and takes extra effort and parts to take apart and back together again. You folks do an excellent job of working with this and you make it work. This huge equipment is just interesting. Wish back in my day would have had the opportunity to use and work on large equipment. When we got our 460 and 560 internationals we thought they were huge but no where close to this-oh my!!! You have a lot of large equipment to help with taking the wheels off and such. That all helps, need the right stuff to do the job. Looks like the seed bag roll up idea worked good for you all-great idea and bags saved for another use. Will be interesting to see brute fixed again and ready. Understand getting all ready as soon will be time to hit the field and get the job done. Everything needs to operate at top efficiency and go for hours on end. Do understand. Thanks again for showing us the work in progress. God bless all of you always. Take care. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Ole nick might be taking over the leg arms name. Dude looked jacked pullin out that axel. 💪🏻
Nick must’ve been working out 💪🏻got some guns growing there!
You should buy the rubber air line and electric plug combo that has the nice loom on and it really cleans up between the truck and trailer
3:15, careful there, Bob, you just might get on a roll there.
Some one call the police nike has his guns out pulling that axle/ planetary out of the sprayer. 💪💪💪
Great video, Come on get moving and get them all tuned up Spring is just round the corner.
I would have thought you would change the air lines to the rubber hose type, they last way longer, don't get brittle and don't cost much more. After having a plastic one snap in the cold weather,
I switched to rubber and have put them on every truck I have owned.
You could the black rubber hoses on the back of your international Road tractor. Those twisty plastic lines break and are such a pain. If you get the nice solid black rubber ones they are flexible easy to coil up and so much nicer you guys will be so happy
Also I did not leave that comment as a keyboard warrior or a couch engineer lol sorry if it came off that way. I run those hoses and I really like them so I just wanted to share
As always, I so love your channel. God has been working in your all’s families. Great editing on your videos. God Bless ya’s!
7:56 I physically recoiled at the transition. It was too clean.
Tony Fast's machine stores and unloads his bagger roll into a pickup. That feature seemed worth investigating when you decide to purchase your own bagger unloader. It is also fun to watch the bag roll nearly break the pickup rear window when loading into the pickup?
Great work Guys,exciting times getting ready for spring planting, but work safe,
You guys need a house oven in the garage so you can set the drums in it and cook the oil out of them. If they would fit of course ? lol. Great video and thumbs up !!
The parking brake light is just hooked to a Pressure switch in the broke line going its simple.
Get up!
Get up!
Get busy! 😉
Thanx a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
That tractor is going 50 miles per hour? You serious? I can*t believe it. 🙄🙄🙄😱😱😱 17:45
If you see pitting on the bearings and races due to moisture, drain and refill the differential and make sure the axle breather is open , take it off and run solvent through it. they will fill with rust and cause seal leaks due to pressure for the oil expanding from heat. races, reeses , tomatoes , tomotoes..... lol
Is anyone going to mention how smooth that transition was at 7:56
Nothing diner than the sound of a Big Bud.
Have you ever considered painting certain tillage equipment in used motor oil when your done with it, it helps with the rust!
So I watch your guys videos all the time
And there was one that your dad was fixing wheel bearing on a car he was giving away and my car was starting to do the same thing. Long story short that was the problem with mine as well tell him thanks for the tip it made finding the problem easy and fast and the car is back on the road 😀 👍
All the brakes I did years ago and never thought to use a pallet jack to lift a set of duals up and away from rig. I used a greasy flat piece of steel on the floor and then find the sweet spot on the jack/tires and slide them out. Wasn't fun if the ground wasn't all that level or some other thing caused some grief to take off.
It’s mind boggling how resourceful you guys are!
