    Chances are that air compressor part is made by Parker. They are still in business. Just need to find a place that carries it. Anyway regulator and drain should work. Don't give up you can find something to repair it or replace it.

    Excellent work on the plucker. Most of the pluckers listed on Amazon look very flimsy. Yours may weigh a ton but it looks to be very durable and repairable. A single bobcat took over the harvesting side of my chicken enterprise, so I'm not in need of one. Excellent work on the plasma cutter repair. Yours looks to be similar to those that I have browsed around. If the repair parts can go unavailable, I can pass on that, too. While you were saving yourself some money, you also saved me some, too! 👍

    Good morning FT, Ms. FT &Kids, and farm, including animals. Since I will soon be going back to the farm. A video request when you set the time can you do an updated welding video with the new plasma cutter and other demos. Thank you my whole family loves the videos and all the work you do alone. It’s encouraging for other who don’t think they can farm alone. Well if you have the know how. I too know enough to get me in trouble. I enjoyed hanging out with you, have a blessed weekend and see you next time🍻

    Don't beat yourself up with tig welding aluminum. when ever possible I would go and abscond the spoolgun and rig it up to my miller 250. remember if you want you can go over your welds making either small circles or a back and forth up and over your bead to make it look pretty. I for some reason enjoy watching your ranching and farming skills and lifestyle. Only animal we raised are pet dogs. Living in town and spent my career as a tool maker and allot of fabricating one off and prototyping. thank you, I've learned allot watching you.

    Speaking from experience as a bad designer of things I love things like zip ties and adhesive because they don't make you commit to anything, e.g. permanent holes, which I know I will probably find a better way to do later due to the aforementioned bad design. 😂

    If that aluminum is in contact with steel you will get electrolysis it will corrode. A simple isolator like duct tape between the two will prevent corrosion. All together once again a nice build.

    Would elongating the holes for the motor mounts make the pulley adjustment any easier? Or did you adjust the pulley adjustment by sliding the pulley up the shaft?
    Either way would work, i suppose.
