- Part 3 of renovating the New Holland 514 manure spreader. In this video, my son and I install a new apron chain, then I replace the drive belt, reassemble the wheel hubs and new tires, finish cleaning and painting, and take it out for an "empty" test run.

Pete, this is what I love about your content! It's not just chickens or pigs or cattle or turkeys, it's the WHOLE farm including all the supporting machinery and the work it takes to make it all successful. God Bless and I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I agree. ❤ it should be noted that I’m able to make a comment about this video only through another persons comment. For some reason I’m not able to make a fresh comment the area that I would normally do so doesn’t pop up. It’s entirely possible human error on my part plays a major roll. Good day.
Not so "Esoteric ".
I truly enjoy your maintenance and restoration videos. It's such a major part of owning and operating equipment.
EXACTLY ! Could not have said it better. God bless all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃🍠🍝😊
The inner seal was originally so when you grease the hubs through the grease nipple the pressure won’t blow the seal out.
Well done! I never thought I'd be so invested in the restoration of a manure spreader, but that series was fascinating. 😊
Looks like a great deal easier with 2 sets of hands!
Same here. I'm in Australia. I love watching Pete refurbish his farm equipment. The manure spreader looks very pretty all decked out in it's new paint!
That manure spreader is ready for the Town Parade ! It’s a Beauty !
Thank God for people like Pete, who can take us back to the days that made this country great through hard work and innovation. I tend to forget all the hardships we face today, if only for a few moments, while enjoying his videos. Thank you Pete
Absolutely!
He is awesome!
Pete, not only is he an architect, he's also a mechanical engineer and one dam good one, not to mention that he's one hell of a farmer with the best backup with Hillary and children. 🤓
Absolutely love your restoration videos and especially how you explain how things work. You have done your research in the manuals and we benefit by your explanations. Thanks you so much!
Farmer Tyler Ranch has a similar background in terms of his Grandfather ‘s tractor and how he had fond memories of helping his Grandfather on the farm. He now farms on his Grandfather’s farm and continues to restore his old tractor. What a legacy for you and Tyler.
My favorite part of this video was dad and son working together! Happy thanksgiving everyone 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
Again an amazing job. Your attention to detail has to be applauded
I’ll never own a manure spreader but it’s such a joy to watch a passionate Farmer restore his. Content like this is why I come to UA-cam.
I for one appreciate "the talking" that explains how it works
The memories I have because of watching these videos. I was a clueless kid, that wasn't even a teen, when I started working on a thoroughbred farm. A New Holland spreader coupled with a Allis-Chalmers WD-45 was how I learned to drive. When I turned 13 it was time to learn how to back the unit up in the barn down the lane between the stalls. It took a whole morning and a countless tries to understand but, I finally got it. What a treasured life skill.
Great job ,love the detail
@@bobmottau7668 I have to chuckle, English was never my strong suit. In fact, I hated it in school... with a passion! Thanks for the compliment though. It makes me smile to know someone enjoyed what I shared.
I think it's great that you're incorporating your son into this project with you. Lots of memories will be made and some special bonding time. When he is older. He'll think back on this time and he'll remember it fondly
And his kids will have these videos to remember growing up on the farm. As a farm kid, I would have loved having so many memories with my dad saved.
Thanks for sharing Pete. From past videos you’ve voiced concerns on transitioning from farm to restoration projects during slower winter months. It’s great to see the bigger picture of what it means to be an independent small farmer. Your content is great, and I personally like the varied content. We hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving holiday. God bless!
i have lived on a small farm all my life, as a child we named all our cows just like you have. A few videos ago you mentioned that you did not know if you would continue to post videos on UA-cam, while that decision is yours to make I hope you will continue. You see I enjoy watching all your content even if it some of it is a repeat of what was done last year. Pete I i enjoy your videos because unlike other with popular sites you have not taken your success as license to lecture your viewers on politics or other things Watching your videos is calming, enjoyable experience and never ever makes me want to throw something at the tv. I wish all the best for you, your family and your farm.
Watching Pete explain and install/rebuild , and restore is fascinating
Wow! Henry grew up big time. The spreader looks great Pete. From my family to your’s we wish you all a happy thanksgiving.
Pete, your patience and attention to detail is amazing! Manure Spreader rebuild looks amazing!!! Thanks for sharing 👍😎🤠
Thanks Pete! I never get tired of your explanations. Love the time you invest in us viewers/subscribers. Thank you!
"It's not the strength. It's the technique." - Ernie
I have always been a fan of Tell Sackett from Louis L'Amour westerns. He had a saying about " I haven't met anything I couldn't move of I set myind to it." Well, as I have...'matured' I have ran into a few things I wasn't able to move. Technique has become more vital lately. Thank you for what you do.
I just simply Love your videos! Year after year. Never get tired of them, one end of the spectrum to the other. Thank you!
Defenetly inspirational to restore the old and save $$$$$$$ at the same time
“I’d rather not leave that spring exposed to all the crap coming in from outside”. Truer words have never been spoken. Great job, Pete, I love the equipment videos.
The seal was installed that way so when you greased the hub the extra grease could go out past the seal.
How wonderful it must be to work side by side with a son. Let Henry know how proud we are of him. Farm work is more important than ever. God bless all the small independent farmers. Thanks for the great content, men.
Fascinating. It must be so rewarding to take a large piece of machinery like that apart fix it up and put it together again. A piece of "farm art". 😊
Glad this project turned into a father / son job!! Nothing better!!!
She's a beaut, Pete.
It was fascinating to watch the restoration. It looks so different. You are so patient...Henry is lucky to have you as a teacher. ❤
You definitely need part of your new shop dedicated to restoration, the pride you put into the machines is awesome to watch
Who would ever think watching a guy playing with a manure spreader would be so interesting haha
It’s all about narration and you do it well
I agree with your logic on the wheel seals , I noticed there is a radius machined or ground on the seal shoulder of the axle, so I suspect that is to allow the seal lip to easily ride up during assembly. She is ready to go to work ! Nice job , I had Henry’s role with my father on the farm , it’s really nice to see him involved. It was a different time now so not judging , by his age I was doing welding jobs and some mechanical jobs on my own . I went on to become an engineer, I think all that fundamental knowledge helped me be successful, I ended up running an international business and worked on five continents and lived on 3 . He is getting an excellent start you should be proud!
Everyone loves a happy ending. 😁
Quality edutainment…
Give cameraman and editor a raise. 👍👍👍
Many years ago, as a high school kid, I worked at Otis Elevators in Yonkers and the old guys I worked with would tell me: "Slow down kid. You're working yourself out of a job!" I was reminded of that when you were telling Henry about his hurrying. Like Pete, I've saved so much over the years, knowing that sometime I made need it for something else. Problem is that as one gets older one has to find the heart to start discarding some of those saved things and it can be very difficult to let them go. Lastly, "Practically NEW manure spreader. All bids welcomed!"
Never ever did I think I was going to have manure spreader envy! Great job 👍🏼
I really enjoy your ALL your video topics. I've always wondered how manure spreaders worked! Without these videos, I may have never found out what makes the poop fly! Now I have a really good understanding how it was designed, and how all the different parts work together.. Thank you!
Pete your attention to detail is awesome keep moving forward.thanks for being you
Congratulations Pete! The shade of Red is Pete's Happy Place. 😇
I don't own or most probably will never own a manure spreader... but I honestly enjoyed this makeover so much. I love fixing old cars and I applaud your nonchalant approach to details... great to have burned the time watching you !
Pete love how you complete projects with so much detail. You made the old girl look like new again. Blessings
Never thought I would watch a frame off restoration of a manure spreader, but I did and it was very enjoyable, great job Pete now get it back inside.
Wow! I've never watched a restoration before and it was very interesting! All the little decisions that go into the process. Nice video!
Awesome job, Pete. Glad to see your son helping too. Handy men!!!!❤❤❤❤
Wow Pete, she looks pretty dang spiffy. Great Job; that was such a satisfying series. I Love it when you restore things. She's purty!! 💚👍👍
Cool videos! Thanks Pete for explaining everything you did. I couldn't help but think two things as I watched this particular video on fixing up your New Holland manure spreader, 1) Sure was nice that it was all clean and renewed when you and your son went to put the new chain on and not "soiled", and, 2) Hopefully no one tries you use your degreaser formula as dipping sauce. 🤣
This was something I really enjoyed watching. I have never put a piece of equipment together, but have sewn two coats. The finishing of any project can be picky, but I've always thought it important, not just to make something look good, but to work well and more importantly give a sense of pride in the project. Loved your paint job. I'm sure you will use this for a long time.
Pete this looks almost showroom new. I love how you take it all the way and do not leave out things that may not be a big deal in the end, make the job look killer and completely finished
That was fun. It is really enjoyable seeing an old piece of equipment brought back to usefulness, especially by using practical skills and basic tools.
Hey Pete, great job on the manure spreader. Sorry you weren’t able to get underneath the manure spreader to paint After you get done cutting the bushes by the door you can put a sliding chain hoist in your new workshop so you’ll be able to flip over the manure spreader and paint it, ha ha ha Pete keep up the great work you’re the best. PS I’m going into a deep depression because you’re not releasing three videos a week. Love you.
I like your formula for degreaser! We Canadians substitute "Panther piss" for the bull urine you use, both are quite effective. Amazing how a little paint, some parts, and a large amount of labour revive old machines. I like to use "Hemlock" boards instead of pressure treated lumber for spreader floors, the old timers used them for the floors of the horse stalls here, and they last a lifetime.
I really enjoyed the series, it brought back memories of doing the same job here in the U.K. on a Massey Harris spreader, the difference on that one was it was wheel driven, and that has many disadvantages, and those that know will know. :-(
I've got a New Idea wheel driven spreader and it works great. Maybe the Massey Harris spreader is made different.
Absolutely loved this series! So cool to see old equipment get a 2nd chance at life
Beautiful job Pete. It's always a joy to watch you work on old equipment. Thanks for letting us watch. Happy Thanksgiving.
That's so pretty it seems a shame to use it.
Best looking manure spreader the world has ever seen! - - - Actually, I really like your life-attitude.
The amount of tools a block of wood can replace is amazing.
Nice seeing Henry in the shop, makes it nice for dad
😁. Old girl looks good,should be good for your lifetime .with regular maintenance. Great video , God Bless
I really enjoyed this rebuild. All the others are great too. I think the pig adventures rethink is a good move for you. More Henry!!! His voice is changing. So cool. Wait until he says, "That's OK Dad, I'll get that." You'll think to yourself, "When did that happen?"
Great job Pete !!!
We all know how hard “ fertilizer” is on metal.
Definitely gave this well engineered spreader some well deserved repairs. Should be a joy to use now.
Pete, great job on the rebuild of the spreader, this should be useful many years . Again it shows your pride in maintaining machinery from the past andis a part of our agricultural history. Looking forward to the next project.
Great completed project Pete. Nice to see Henry too. My father was a machinist toolmaker for Pitney Bowes so I learned about tolerances early on. The care you took to explain the mechanics of the chain links is exactly what I like about your attention to detail especially the part about how they should rub against the sprocket. It would appear that a poop spreader is a simple device, but it is not, all the parts have to work together at the same time with no conflict. Just yearning for a tractor restoration, hopefully your oldest tractor. Hope you, Hillary and family have great Thanksgiving! Will mourn the turkey 🦃. Michael, Norwalk Ct.
A word of encouragement I'm a 87 year old farm women and I love your machinery repair videos.Alway like the mechanics of things I'll be watching
Pete you really are an inspiration!! I honestly can not thank you enough for all you show and explain!!
The stories and the transformation are why I watch! Keep up the great work!
Wow. In all my 63 years of living, I never thought I'd ever say that I enjoyed watching a manure spreader restoration project and totally got into it. lol But I did. Pete, there is just something about you and all that you do that never ceases to be interesting, educational, fun and relaxing.
You are doing New Holland and International a great service! Also, thank you for your time!
Enjoyed the series! Aesthetically pleasing with the finished exterior, and good (if not better) as new in functionality! It is refreshing to see individuals who do not shy away from repairing / rebuilding things in lieu of the throw away mentality that it has become today. So thanks again for not just this series, but the whole aspect of your family and your farm. It is always enjoyed and appreciated. It has allowed me to introduce you to my son who now has chickens and a few goats on his place. He borrowed a few things from you in regards to getting his chickens set up. Nowhere near the numbers, but you helped him none the less. Thanks.
I'm really happy with the result. I also was afraid you weren't that into it at the beginning, but in the end it was a thorough overall and "het span" as we say in Holland looks great. Traktor and implement ready for a good few years. 👍
I'm a painter by trade and one of my teachers started my education by saying: gentlemen, we are magicians. We can stop the damage of time. Forever, if we maintain the paint coating...😊
What I have learned from this and your other videos is the importance of focus and perseverance on the step-tasks, no matter how large or complex the project. For me, it is important to not get discouraged or overwhelmed thinking of all that needs to complete the project; just plan things out and do the next task on the plan & eventually the goal will be achieved. Thanks, Pete.
That came out beautifully Pete. You're very good at restoration work. I especially like that you bring them back to the original as much as you can down to paint scheme and decals . Great job as always. 👍✌️
Outstanding job/work pete !! As usual u gave it 💯 effort, Plus Henry gave u a hand ! Yall have a very healthy safe and HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!
I have never worked on a farm Pete but find your videos inspiring. You make my day every time I join you on the farm. Thanks for the insights into your world.
"By the time we get really good at this, we'll be done." Lol. Love it.
I guess you can tell when you’re getting older, when you enjoy a manure spreader rebuild as much as I enjoyed this one 😂.
Keep up the great work Pete, you and Hillary are excellent. Y’all are better than George and Gracie.
Great job Pete! You are inspiring me to work more diligently to care for and repair my own equipment. Thanks!
The attention to detail is why I like watching. Many farmers would have stopped at a dozen points prior to carefully painting and restoring, fixing and patching. It is the difference that makes the difference.
Also Happy Thankgiving to you and your family. Keep the videos just as they are, your an excellent teacher and I love every one of your restoration, can't wait for the next one.
Pete , I have to tell you ! You have the very best videos they are fantastic! Your restoration videos are just as great as the Farm videos , I think they are more genuine than any that are out there from other sources
Hi Pete well done on the manure spreader it looks like a brand new machine, what a difference. Thank you for including Henry on helping you on this project. I really enjoy when you can include your kids. It remains me when i was young helping on the farm. It is good life skills for the younger generation to learn as Henry one day might wanna or need to take over the farm.
Weird that it made perfect sense as you described it. A good manure spreader makes farm life so much better. I love the yellow wheels!! She’s a beaut
Great job on the spreader Pete! It’s like having a new spreader the perfect size for your farm. Loved the videos!
Man! You are going to hate to mess that up using it it’s so pretty. Beautiful work, Pete.
Love the results. As a former painter of houses I applaud you on your detailed skills. On a side note, loved the end… I’m watching you from BULGARIA 😎
Another great and informative DIY video... I really enjoy how Pete explains things so anyone can fully understand not only the procedure but the reasons for the repairs... all part of operating a small family farm... kinda reminds me of my grandfather back in Arkansas... Thanks Pete... keep up the good work... and the humor is a great bonus...
Amazing transformation Pete !! Makes me happy to se old equipment new again!
Excellent video series Pete. I love the detail and explanation of the tweaks to make it work as best as it can.
Doing something as simple as a manure spreader making it look nice is so satisfying you did a nice job looks great
Really enjoyed the videos as much as your remodeling of the farmhouse series. Thanks Pete.
Pete, I look forward to your videos. I enjoy all of them but especially the restoration projects!
I hope that you continue with the channel.
Pete deserves more subscribers than he has, he is a gold mine of knowledge!
Great job! Thanks for the help Henry!! The spreader looks amazing! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us!
Looks great! Sometimes it is tough to reconcile the “why did they build/assemble it this way?” vs “did the previous owner make a mistake?”
Videos will be extremely helpful (& entertaining) for folks! Can’t wait to see it work!
Another job well done. Love seeing your children helping. Keep up the good work. Good job Henry.
I so appreciate your ability to properly explain and teach about what you're doing on your projects and jobs.
Fantastic job looks better than a brand new one and will last twice as long. Thanks for sharing this build with us all 😊
Wow, you are so handy and I love your devotion to maintaining your farm equipment no matter how old it is or how much work is required. I so enjoyed watching this video. 😊
Nice restoration Pete your son and your self will make a great team someday thanks for taking us all long on your mechanical adventures enjoyed them my favorite was the MD the second time around you sure did show how patience can make it a whole lot more easy than flying in off the handle that’s what keeps your channel so unique
This machine looks too nice to be used. Very nice job like always pete!!!
How wonderful to see you and Henry work together to complete this project!❤
Pete, I have decided there is nothing you can’t fix! You do great work!
Enjoying a Sunday morning tea watching Pete repair a manure spreader ✔️
An oddly strange but relaxing way to start the day. ❤
Can't wait to see it in use this spring! Good equipment is a joy. 😊 Your kids are blessed.
always love your restoration videos! Thanks Pete!
Very impressive craftsmanship Pete. Equally impressive is the production quality of your videos. Well done!
One is always amazed and pleased at the attention to detail that you display. All done with good humour and cheer. A vocation and avocation all in one. Another great episode.
