I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see the big truck being pulled out of the pond by an even bigger tractor. 👍
Great job Grant
maybe the tractor got stuck too and they had to wait for an even bigger truck :)
@@jwenting Reminds me of a song by Corb Lund. Mighty neighborly, if you know what I mean.
My guess as to why we didn't get to see it being pulled out, is because that was it's own production. 😉
I offered to pull it our with my 5 Ton 6x6. 😁
Boys and their toys! Grant has a brand new truck and he's already got it sunk up to its axles in mud. Well done!
You two are 100% home-grown middle-America awesome. You can learn a lot about life and what hard work really means by watching it through your eyes. And even on top of all the effort you still find time to routinely post. Lots of reasons to love your channel, great work!
Every man's dream a 6×6 truck!! And better yet Laura's happy about it..
Yeah, I've wanted a deuce and a half or a 5-ton since I left the Army, and an Army edition HumVee too.
And Grant is lucky enough that his wife is not only cool with it but happy about it?
A truly lucky man! 😎😍(😍 is for Laura).
It's great seeing Grant's joy from this project. My favorite part was Grant trying to position the pails to catch the oil without spilling lol
You definitely have some cool toys, a great wife, and a good life. Prayers for Grandpa and the family. 👍🙏😎✌️
GRANT HAS A LOT OF MECHINACAL SKILLS, HE DESERVES A LOT OF CREDIT, I KNOW I COULD NEVER DO THAT.
Great job Grant. That military truck is a beast, and can haul many things on the farm. It can also pull trailers, wagons, and other equipment when needed. Great work with being able to take the flatbed off like you can. Maybe a tank, or fifth wheel adapter can help you. Maybe even to get your seed out to the field. Lots of options!
Now THAT was a fun video. Love the Army truck. Lots of time and labor that totally paid off. Hope to see more.
Grant congratulations on getting the truck up and running Good job with the bed ,but definitely bummer dude with the pond test
Useful truck, those wheels and tyres make a huge difference to how it looks
Glad to see Grant getting the 800 series on the road. I love working on my military trucks...simple technology! Now you guys just need to pick up a military Humvee to run the fields.
Great episode, I was thinking it might have been a problem to weld the exhaust elbow to the stack after putting on the new tires instead of before, rubber and heat don't mix. But the bigger scare was when it looked to me like the second rear tire wouldn't fit...but no, it did! Grant was the star in this episode but Laura did a great intro. Grant's anticipating the stream of used oil with the 2 buckets was priceless, I doubt he spilled more than a spoonful. Been there but didn't do that as deftly.
Yea, the amount of oil and the angle it came out (90 degrees) made it tricky. He knew what he was doing.
Liked the video. One thing you might consider doing is sealing off each end of the 4x4 tube steel bed supports. This will keep water, dirt and unwanted critters like birds out of those tubes. Other than that it looks great.
Agreed. No sense letting it get rusty from the inside out.
That oil change was done like a pro haha awesome to watch!
I admire Grants Enthusiasm and the way you work great as a team
I think it's safe to say that it's not amphibious, but you are definitely the man, Grant!
A boy n his big boy toys!! Good job Grant! Lots of work , went into that project! Now...put that " beast" to work!!
Grant, you have come a long ways very quickly getting this beast back in working condition. It was really surprising that it started up when you worked on it just a little bit, and now it runs great, it just gets stuck even with all wheels with power. It seems like I recall seeing 6x6's getting stuck rather easily before and you would think that would not be the case for a vehicle designed for off-road duties. My dad was a farm boy way back when and then took up truck driving. Now he lives back in Nebraska too just like most of his family has forever.
Great job Grant I’m very impressed with your skills
Congrats Grant I bet you are so happy now...
Nice work with that exhaust system. I think we've all been there. Go to the parts store, buy a box full of elbows, clamps, hangers and have at it!
Work, family, and happiness. Do you know what that is? It is a living prayer.
Great video.
Nothing is more fulfilling when your life and work are the same happiness.
Great job Grant and Misses.(Laura).
Here's a tip for putting those tires on and off. A friend of mine would take a piece of plywood and smear some grease on the top and lay it under the tire and slide off the tire. It works :)
Grant, you're the best! You don't let much get you down. You just keep trucking with a great attitude until you achieve the goal.
We should all learn from your example how to deal with life's little problems. Like tires that are too big for the axel spread. Who cares, go with it. The BEAST looks pretty good. Better yet it looks like a mountain of fun just waiting to happen.

Great job you guys, gotta love the shovel trick on tire mounting though
6x6 is coming along... awesome job Grant....
What a great team you two make-that is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time-keep it up kiddo’s-can’t hardly wait for the next project!
Great work Grant.I love to see the old trucks saved. I drove the same type of 6x6 in the Air Force equipped as a water tanker.
Amazing job! It makes me want to go get one. I hope we see a lot of play time videos with it and maybe some competitions with the old man's 5-ton
Very cool! Something to think about is making the bed adjustable so that it can be slid back if you want to haul something heavy, Don't want to over load that front axle. Sometimes it is nice to have room to get in front of the headache rack to tie stuff off.
Nice to see a lot of work come together.
If you ever drop a wrench or a bolt in a bucket of oil, a cow magnet on the outside of the bucket can usually fish the wrench up to the top.
Hello there👋👋how are you doing today? Hope your day wasn’t stressful?God bless you!!❤
My Dad bought a half dozen 6X6's from the Korean War back in the early 60's. We converted 3 of them into "bankout wagons" and 1 into a dump truck. We kept 2 for parts. For the midwest folks a bankout wagon is a powered grain cart.
If yankum ropes sponsored you it would have been a perfect ad showing the military truck getting yanked out
Grant was having a Bummer Dude moment putting those rear tires on. The look on his face, priceless!
"I think I'll walk home." Priceless!
Great job on the old military truck. Brings back memories of my time in the Marine Corp as a 3531 driver. Loved driving the old 5 ton trucks.
Great job Grant bringing that truck back to life! A lot of work done in 2 months on top of all the other stuff y'all are doing. Keep those videos coming!
The 6x6 turned out great, good job Grant and so glad you got the 4x4 to work, thanks for sharing with us, love it❤
That could make a great expeditionary vehicle one day -- Awesome build Respect points to the truck pick and the wify pick she's tough gold also.
Nice build. Looks like he's a professional welder now. A man of many talents.
Forklift would make for extra safety under the frame.
Awesome job, that is one bad ass truck.
Glad Grant is finally getting something done on that truck I think the tires are a little too big though but it's pretty badass.
Thanks for the military truck update Laura...Great job Grant, truck looks good. Hopefully the rear tires don't cause you any problems. Looking foward to seeing the big truck in future videos ...Great looking Hoodie Laura !
Great progress on the Big Truck! Thanks for sharing.
Great Job Grant looks awesome.
I fell upon your channel about two weeks ago. I am not a farmer,but have had farmers in my family. Always have been Intrigued about farming in my life time. Nice to learn about farming life from you and Grant. I look forward your videos every week. Praying for your Grandpa and your family . Best Wishes Doug (you are living out my dreams of being a farmer)
I always put my tires with the rims on, under the vehicle when I'm doing brakes or rack and pinion steering in case it fell. Concrete blocks don't always hold up either for shade tree mechanic's. Rim in the tire has more weight distribution than a jack stand. 😉👍
You did a great job Grant. I just know Matt from Demolition Ranch would be so jealous!
such a good vid
Good job guys. I appreciate you Laura and Grant. You inspire me a lot of things. Congratulations. Thanks for teaching us how to change things
Happy Evening, Laura. 🙂
Badass!!!!!!!! Love how it turned out
🇨🇦 hi Laura and Grant.....
I subscribed a few days ago , I just love you and Grant and your sweet family ❤️ and all the animals....... So sweet
Laura farms has put a ray of sunshine into my heart..... Thank you putting your smile out on my face 👍🏼
The truck is coming along great! I think a really big winch would be a good idea if you plan on any more ponds. 😲
Really don't see what "fat pirate chic" will do for him when he gets stuck in the mud
@@kllisk 🤔🤔🤔 "bug wench" 😂🤣😂🤣 (big wench) "fat pirate chick" 😂🤣😂🤣...
Typo for big winch, 😂🤣😂🤣
You got a love spell check, damn
GRANT!!! AWESOME!!!! That turned out GREAT!!! You can be proud of your work! Be careful about your rear tires on the highway...tires that size grow in diameter a LOT. You could end up with tire to tire rubbing (never a good thing). Now you just need to add a 10 ton winch on the front, fix up the interior, windows, and paint. Easy!
That is a good looking old
6x6 military truck, it should be great for lots of things there on the farms .
Back in 1977 when there was a coal company stripping the coal on our farm in Lawrence County, Kentucky, they had one of these old 6x6 trucks and that thing would really pull . It had a huge diesel motor and hydraulic pump on the back of it that took up all the room on the bed and the motor housing was tall also .
You et Grant and the way you do things absolutely blows me away. Anytime am feeling down, you guys are my Go-To. Love you both. Kindest, Ciaran in Ireland.
Laura. That bit at the duration of 12:56 is funny with all the different faces Grant pulled when he was draining the oil. He must have pulled over twelve different faces. I wonder if he'll use one of them as a poker face. I always love your videos. I saw a video about the You Tuber farmers yesterday. Congratulations for being number one. I'm so proud for you.
Great video and great job with the 6×6
Oh gosh! I feel his pain with the ratchet going into the fullest bucket of used oil! Glad im not the only one lol loved this video!
Donner Dudes get things done... top job man. Laura must be very proud... :)
You need to add corner chains to the frame and to the flat bed and long enough so it won’t come out of position 🤔Awesome guys ❤️🙏✌️😎
nice job Grant. Your hard work has paid off.
Thanks Laura! Enjoyed the trip.
That military truck is looking good. Just a suggestion, make certain the differential and transmission vents are in good condition and terminate as high as possible to keep water out.
As a person who saw these trucks used all the time in the US Army, I never would have seen any soldier back their duce into a pond. I'm shocked you attempted this.
Congrats Grant and Laura that military truck is looking good, get the paint job complete, a real jewel.
Grant nailed it on that oil drain!
Looks great Grant!! Nice Job!! 👍💯
Great job Grant! I really like him… really good kid you chose Laura!
You guys did a great job on my old Army truck!!
Awesome video keep them coming love seeing the great content you put out👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸God Bless and Stay Safe
That truck looks like a lot of fun. Well done Grant
Very nice video I like the military 6x6 truck Grant did a great job on the build. Stay safe and warm and prayers for you and your family, hope your grandpa is feeling better.
Nice looking Build Grant! A option for a future welding project try using flux core welding wire and you won't need to use cover gas. it'll save you a little money.
Great job Grant
You Two do a lot of fun and exciting stuff!! Nothing wrong with having Fun!! Love It!!
Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊
Pretty cool vid! Great bucket change and you really oil your wretches so they don't rust. Good idea on farm with all the weather!
I bet that was the happiest walk home ever!
Congratulations on the build! Really looks nice. Grant did a jam up job .Cant wait to see it in action on the farm.
Cant wait to see you guys out in the river with it!
congrats on finishing the truck, i am curious to see it in action on the farm
Nice work Grant. Good to see carrying an episode. Good luck with that monster.
Amazing! You put some wheels on an old truck. Well done!
That’s awesome guys. You two make such an awesome team!
Great job Grant- I’m impressed with your work 👍👍
Grant's got some serious welding skills!
That move with the buckets was Smooth.
I don't usually comment at all just like watching. But what grant did to the truck Was the ultimate bad ass form truck
Stuck first time out lol! Congrats Grant for getting it running. 6'6"? You are the reason for the saying they grow them big down on the farm!
Nice looking truck. Keep up the good job keeping that army truck alive.
Nice job Grant
Oh my, that laminar flow at 13:45 was just beautiful.
GREAT STUFF YOUNG MAN....
VERY COOL TRUCK... FIRE TRUCK.... EXTRA TRUCK WITH WATER TANK FOR SPRAYING....
EVENTUALLY PUT A HOIST ON THE BED AND SIDE BOARDS FOR THE BED..HAUL DIRT, ROCK, MISCELLANEOUS ETC.
Love y’all’s videos on this truck. If you don’t mind a bit of advice, never use a Crescent wrench on a critical bolt, nut or plug, always clean your base metal that you’re welding to( it will improve your weld and ease of welding ), and never loose y’all’s positivity. It’s really refreshing and uplifting to see. Wish y’all the best
Grant!!......That thing is a fricken BEAST with those new tires holy smokes!!! Great work man. To bad there isnt a easy way of moving one of those axels a couple inches. Non the less great work man great work!!
Great Video
'It makes me look like a good welder" 🤣 I think you'r doing a fine job there sir
That thing has such a Beastly sound & so much torque for it's age to just sit there spinning all 6 in a mud hole at idle. I kinda got a bit of old truck Envy goin on. lol
