- How and why I paint like I do on this spreader. Rebuilding the live apron with all new slats and restored chain puts this manure spreader closer to functioning again. Will it be too pretty to ever use? Thanks for coming along!

There is nothing more rewarding for a young lad than to get hands on experience under the guidance of a master craftsman!
You can't get that in any school !
For the less experienced person perhaps. I’d say it’s pretty rewarding for the mentor to see the less experienced mentee grow in skill and confidence. In fact it’s the part of my job as an experienced dev that I love the most.
God's speed young Brice, you will be surprised where these experiences will pop up during your life.
So you stand behind your work but not your manure spreader. It’s wonderful to see the old trades practiced and better see them shared with the rising generation.
It's always wise to stand in front of the manure spreader than behind it ;)
Nothing like letting your work “pile” up on you or to have sh&tty job to do. 😊
I do like the new format a lot. Sheep Wagon, then Sheet Wagon, then Sheep Wagon, then Sheet Wagon. When it's all done he will have a Sheep Sheet Wagon Special.
It brings back memories from my time as a primary school pupil. After a long summer vacation, we started a new school year, and almost all the school's things and interior had been repainted by the school's janitor during the summer vacation. In the same gloss and with the same colors as in the video. "Everything" was painted in high-glaze orange-red, complemented by yellow, blue and black, and I don't know why, but I loved the colors, and I loved the smell of the paint. After a few months, the paint had degassed. It was probably very toxic.
Time also flew by over 50 years ago. My grandmother said the same thing about her childhood. She was born about 1909.
That may be the ONLY time a manure spreader has been described as "bright"! Great project! Exceptional camera work and very interesting editing! Thanks!
Bryce is a very capable young man. He will enjoy comparing notes with his classmates on how they got on restoring their manure spreaders.
The whirly-gig is closer to a spreader and it looks great. You shared a lot of good points to install the rollers and slats. We wish Bryce the best of luck in his future work fields, he should fit in fine and with instructors like you showing him the ropes he should do fine. Thanks for sharing Dave, stay safe and keep up the excellent videos and the fun you have keeping History Alive. Fred.
Welcome back, Bryce! Great to see you. You should stay and learn the trade of the wheelwright.
I clicked on this video when it had been posted for 1 hour. I hit the description to look at something and left it showing. As the video progressed, I became distracted by something in the top right of the screen. That’s when I realized that the numbers beside “Likes” and “Views” were adding up like a Jerry Lewis Telethon years ago! Factor in the reality that you’re rebuilding a poop spreader and the numbers are even more amazing! The popularity of this channel cannot be overstated, and I’m sure I speak for the vast majority of your followers when I say a sincere “Thank You” for all you do to produce these wonderful, educational, videos!
Who would have ever thought that restoring an old decrepit horse-drawn manure spreader - much less watching it be restored - could be so rewarding.
You should give that boy a job he seems like good worker
Watching you do it the "old way" makes me long for the "good ole days"...... LOL
Finally a new hammer in the coach shop, never expected that. You've really turned a pile of scrap and rotted wood into what it once was AMAZING! Ray
Yep. Noticed the shiny new hammer and smiled. Go Dave. We love your work.
Mundane tasks always form part of the finished product. These videos all show that consistency is paramount towards a craftsman's finished product. Stay safe & well Dave & Dianne.
Thank you, Bryce. Hope to see you again soon.
I just wanted to thank you for having this channel. You are teaching me so much about our history that's not taught in school anymore. That young man is lucky to have spent time with you. I tune in for the same reason. Looking forward to all that you share with us
The colors look awesome. Maybe Bryce could share his written essay with your viewers. That would be a great video.
Thanks for taking the time today to meet with my friends Ken and Peggy. That was very special. I would love the chance myself one day!
Nice they stopped.
We enjoyed Bryce being there as well. We need young men who want to learn this from you, or the skills will be lost. The spreader looks fantastic, Dave. You must be thrilled to see it coming together.
The worlds most beautiful manure spreader is a sight to behold! Let the manure fly! (and then wash that beauty good!)
WELCOME BACK BRYCE... WHAT A MASTER PIECE...
Glad you could give the young man a chance to learn some skills he'll keep forever.
So good of you to mentor Brice, you have a vast knowledge that will some day be lost. Also good to see some young folks getting craft knowledge. I have thoroughly enjoyed
your channel for many years.
Yessiree....someone needs to know how to keep a ranch and the animals ! Ain't going to happen on its own.
What Bryce will have learned from you is that humdrum, mundane repetition of a job can result in immense satisfaction of a job well done and that craftmanship can be its own reward.
now that looks as perdy as a newborn baby goat 🐐🐐🐐
What a wonder, restored to working condition with such care! I have learned both skills and history here, a most willing student! Thanks for taking us along.
Such a great experience getting to visit & swap stories! Your craftsmanship is shadowed by your humility. Thanks for your time! And please, just keep on restoring!
everything in mortalaty come to an end even Engles Coach Shop
That's quite a carnival paint job indeed Dave!
A real education for that young man .
Cant wait to hear the lovely racket the spreader makes under power.
Red and yellow. I didn't know New Holland made manure spreaders. Enjoying very much the rebuild of the spreader and the sheep wagon. I have seen Basque sheep herders around Sun Valley , Idaho using those sheep wagons. Always a horse or two tied to the wagon and two or three dogs napping underneath. A peaceful life
You're a good teacher. You allowed Bryce to do his side without constantly peering over his shoulder. Well done to both of you.
One of the most satisfying projects to watch coming into completion.
It’s absolutely incredible Dave teaching your work habits will last forever Bryce will always look back and think how would Dave handle this thank you
I really enjoy watching your videos on the restoration or complete rebuilding of the old farm wagons and equipment. I live in a rural area and lots of old wooden farm wagons are just left rotting in various fields as lawn art.
I hope that when you get the manure spreader complete, you will demonstrate it working, though I would understand not wanting to get something you spent so much time and effort on completely covered in manure and muck.
................Thank you Dave,
what a great young man. I hope we see much more of him helping you.
Cheers mate,
Malcolm.
Nice to see Bryce in the workshop! He fits right in in his bibs!
Thanks Dave and Bryce for helping you out a little.....
Old F=4 II Shoe🇺🇸
That would look great rolling down the street in a 4th of July parade, throwing candy to the crowd!
That spreader is looking really sharp. Glad to see Bryce got to help almost the bitter end. Pretty sure he learned a few things from you.
I don't know about Bryce but to help you and hang out together sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
Nice to have met you Bryce! Best of luck in all you do. Good on you Dave for helping him. The spreader is looking almost ready for manure. lol
Well done mentoring Bryce; he seemed to take instruction well and was eager to learn and a willing worker! What more could one ask for! Wishing him the very best in his future endeavors.
Compared to New Idea,or even John Deere colors, I must admit that is indeed the brightest manure spreader I’ve ever seen! Seems almost a shame to actually use it and get it dirty!
I’ve really enjoyed this restoration project and look forward to more episodes and its completion. And
Well Done on finding and adapting those rollers!
Thanks for taking us along and documenting this interesting and different manure spreader restoration.
Be well and take care,
Ed Belledin
Beautiful manure spreader! I don't think I've ever seen one this beautiful... But I guess this is the first one, and probably the last one I'll ever see. But it is beautiful! Great job on the restoration, and the UA-cam video. Thanks for sharing this piece of history with us that are only 77 and younger!!!
great to see a young lad interested in that type of history
I love the craftsmanship of the olden days and of you. Thanks so very much for sharing.
Bryce was definitely helpful with installing the rollers. It would have been nice if he could have helped you with the slats. The colors look bright and bold, it’s a shame to pile manure on it. It’s too late now but Bryce should have signed and dated the underside of one of the slats.
Happy to see Bryce back , I bet he’s a bit sore after all the wrenching
You're the bright one, amigo! I'm surprised at how much I like the bright colors.
Bryce has a good mechanical future ahead of him. You can tell lots about a person by the way they hold their tools.
First thing I noticed was the fact that he was keeping the ratchet head captive in his off hand while he was adjusting the rollers.
Best wishes to his future endeavors!
Thank you for supporting Bryce in his education. It's a shame he could not have been there long enough to help with the slat assembly. It would have gone so much faster with two you working together. The spreader is really looking good. It will be museum quality when you finish. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I applauded your final plank attachment...
most young people today have no idea of the satisfaction you feel from a hard day's work, and looking back at how good your workmanship looks. Great video!
Looks great amazing number of parts to complete the spreader. The engineering in the design of this unit is also amazing. Thanks for bringing us along great job.
I am glad Bryce got to put back what he helped you take off.
As Dave started to wind the yellow bed, I could smell the farm manure! Weird! I guess I'm invested in this project...
That spreader looks so good you could drive it to church on Sunday! 😊
Nice to have met you Bryce, best of luck to all you do in the future. I'm sure he will be back to visit/help and learn few other tricks. Also he can say I helped build that spreader.
A thing of art is a beauty to behold. Thanks, Dave.
Brice, best of luck in your future. I know Dave is not a man who lets praise go to his head, but you had one of the very best mentors in the United States teaching you. He has mastered wood, blacksmith, sewing, critical thinking, and meany more trades. So once again, best of luck.
That is a mighty fine looking piece of machinery! One day it's going to get covered in S**t and do what it was intended to do. Fascinating historical work.
Museum quality restoration! Thank you for sharing these videos I really look forward to them!!
I live in Iowa and was driving down the highway and I looked in front of me there was a brand new manure spreader on a flat bed . They have not changed in a hundred and fifty years. I immediately knew what it was from your videos.
Every week it gets prettier and more functional. Thank Dave, great video.
I hate monotonous work. I'm constantly figuring in my head what percent of the job I've finished, and how much is left. I can't wait to see the spreader at work.
Sure enjoy watching the rebuild, great job.
That will be the pride of Joliet when you tow it down Main Street. The colours are wonderful, pity to cover it with muck but beautiful all the same.
Growing up on the farm, the manure spreader was the last piece of equipment to excite me but this restoration gives me a new appreciation for them. Your work on this has been quite amazing. I hope for a similar project in the near future.
Nice job Dave. I like the red and yellow colors you used. I think people will see the spreader before they smell it. Maybe Bryce will take up the craft of restoration like you? Stay safe.
Always learning something from your channel. When your gone these videos will be your legacy to future generations! Glad I'm here sharing with you now . Thanks for sharing this information with us!
Honestly, does Dave how friggin’ incredible he is?
I refinished a reproduction 12 pound cannon carriage. I used a heat gun and a paint scraper to remove multiple coats of oil based paint back to bare wood. I then went back with a 50/50 coat of oil based paint and paint thinner. The next coat was 50% paint and 25% paint thinner, with the final coat being 100% oil based paint. That was several years ago and the paint work is holding up well.
Would love to congratulate the young man on the great work he did,and for the experience he had working with an Expert. Something he can talk about for years to come!!!
Dave's making a xylophone!
It's really coming together now. This is going to look absolutely amazing when complete.
Just amazing. The world must have been colorful before color photography.
Only you, sir, would put so much time and care into an unsung hero like a manure spreader. You have my admiration.
If you get a chance, teach that young man how to run that metal lathe. I started doing machine work around 10 years old and with the exception of a few in-between jobs I have machined, welder, mechanic and fabricator for 50 years.
I'm 65 now and have slowed down a lot but have never regretted my dad showing me how to machine metal and work wood.
Cheers
Terry
The spreader will be one of a kind.
Great work as always. Hopefully Bryce comes over more often too.
I really like this project. Please keep up the great work. And thank you
Arrrr so that's how you get the last plank in.... I was wondering 😊
So when you drive this through the town Christmas parade, who will volunteer to ride in the back of it? Ha Ha, thanks for sharing, I am still amazed at how much of it you have put together. Charles
You had a good pair of hands in Bryce , hope he comes back to give you a hand / learn something. Great video 👍🏴
He will likely....and he better bring lunch too.
I have worked on many manure spreader apron chains but they were never in that nice condition LOL. It looks so good I would not want to use. Great job, thanks for shring.
I see that Bryces' work boots are not exactly show room new. I like that.
Fun to see it coming together!
Love the Circus colors theme,hope Bryce comes back as his schedule permits, suppose you are going to peen those slat carriage bolts?Thanks for all the interesting videos🤗😎🤗😎
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Putting these chains and slats together is as much fun as building tracks for a model tank I guess 😁
Looking good, nice to see the young take a interest in the skilled labor path. I hated holding the flashlight as a kid but now i can fix most things in the house for just costs of parts.
looking awesome - looking forward to seeing it in action
Ya know Dave, I am watching all these bright reds and yellows moving around, can't help but chuckle that its for cow poop.
Seeing the yellow slats reminds me of an old joke concerning the brilliance that is brown underwear. 😉
That trick with the “primer” is cool. Thank you.
Thanks Dave
Hu Dave, and Diane, this spreader is looking great. I like the option of adding the 1/3 thinner to the paint to make an all in one formula for hardwood. Bryce looks pretty comfortable in the shop now. I'm impressed with the technology of the era on this. Thank you for sharing, and take care.
Enginuity !
I don’t know about using it with the amount of work you have put into it. It should be displayed in a museum for furniture generations to come to show what was achieved by craftsmanship in the old days. As for the colours looks fantastic. 😀👍👍
Great videos 👍 God bless you and your family Dave 🙏💗❤️
Can’t tell you how much I admire a man who paints without resorting, as I always do, to disposable gloves and old sacrificial clothes when painting. Those new wheels look great. My mild OCD would have made me put one in each corner since there were 4 of them.
The spreader looks too good for manure now.
Since those new wheels are a bit heavier than the original ones, they would probably be more suitable for where there is a bit more stress like those two bars or at the corners.
Thinking the same on the replacement wheels.
@@Renville80How old was this manure spreader? The wheels are plenty strong enough, due to the fact they where missing, not broken... No point in mounting them places of heavy duty, better to place them where they are hidden away.
Personally I would have put them in the centre where they would be hidden the mot
Thanks great to watch
