Nice work getting that pump refurbished. Your willingness to maintain your machines is a huge part of your success keeping your beautiful vintage equipment running well.
You are good. I'm afraid I wouldn't remember how it goes back together, lol. Looks good and I presume you smoothed the shaft off camara. Looking forward to the next video. This was interesting. See you soon.
Winterize that well with corrosion inhibitors and it will last you a very long time. I’m pretty confident ours has close to 100,000 gal through. Wore out one planter and swapped it to the new one and it’s still getting it done.
Not sure which farm show you are talk about but the Ft Wayne Farm show was January 16 through January 18 I know Shoup has a sale going on just got a card from them nice job on getting your pump done up too

Thanks.
It is nice that you have all the machines to work on your projects thanks for taking us with you and teaching us
Yep
Ethan, good job young man I very much enjoyed watching this video thank you for putting it together for us.🙂🙏🙂
Thanks.
My dad was a tool and di maker, and I watch a few Farming channels and you definitely build a lot of interesting stuff from scratch
Thanks.
Ethan, yes tearing things down and letting it sit for a while makes you have to think a little bit putting it all back together. Thanks Michael
Yep
Oh darn its bedtime.... got to save this for tomorrow.

Yea I polished it on the lathe.
I am impressed with your Knowledge/Skill for your age. Not many could do what you do.
There’s nothing hard about it.

Have you thought about doing a test between liquid and dry fertilizer this year to determine which method is best?
Like how you rebuild and reporpose things.
Thanks
This was an interesting video thanks for sharing. I hope this gives you a laugh like it did me but when your air pump kicked on it made me jump.
Lol
gonna be a huge upgrade

Louisville.
Metering tubes might be a better option instead of orifices.
Where did you get the parts to rebuild the pump from?
Did you decide not to smooth the shaft so it wont wear on the seals or just didn't record it?
It’s polished
So the bolts to the intake and output gotta have a bit of a taper to them since theyre one way? Kinda makes sense in my brain.
No. The holes are different sizes top and bottom.
Is that a Bridgeport mill? When I was in my twenties and thirties I made a lot of air craft parts on a Bridgeport mill.
It is. My Grandpa has one. I know that head badge shape anywhere.
How does liquid fertilizer compare to dry for yields?
Fertilizer is fertilizer. It all does the same thing.
