We are tentatively looking at a April 2076 posting date for that video. All jokes aside, it is extremely frustrating for us too as we need to work together to do it and must have a good 2-3 winter months. Issue is 2020 we bought the fixer upper lake house and worked on that, 2021 leg arms broke his arm, 2022 we built a needed seed cleaner, and 2023 we are building homes. I have thought about doing one video just getting it running but I would hate to get started and then shut the project down only to pick it up months later. What do you guys think?
@@WelkerFarms I’m not busting your chops just, well, ya know. Faithfully following since the Big Brute build, 9870 build and Big Bud redo. Big fan of your family’s creative skills. I’ll tell my grandson to turn on notifications so he can see that 2076 video. 😎
We never threw anything away on the farm. We had 4 engines from a model T and A that were wrapped up in that old black plastic and my brothers wanted to take them to the salvage metal yard but I paid them what salvage metal was bringing and stored them for another 40 years. I sold each one of them for more than what a new complete performance engine would cost from Chevrolet X 4. Never sell scrap metal and call it twice loved.
Gotta love the old grain trucks that had a box that could only go up 30 degrees and then you had to shovel out the last 100bu because they put the axles way too far ahead on the frame for the box and the box couldn’t max out it’s height going into the auger lol.
I’ve got a 1945 Ford murcury that was the families grain truck Was always in the shed and no one but my family ever owned it we hoped to get into and get it running removed tge heads and was pleasantly surprised to find everything minus tge radiator was in good shape Since the flat head engine is pretty easy to find parts for and once we ripped the sides of the grain box off to find a nice hard one deck to it thE plan was to turn it into a tool and service truck. I still can’t get over how simple those early engines are.
That truck is one of the better looking trucks on the farm.. Dont forget to fix the wipers Nick as they may come in handy in spring. I wanna see it get a Injected Hemi or a Cummins Swap !!
Seafoam is an AWESOME product! Baby Blue is so Cool! 😎 Thanks for another great video! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! ❄️❄️
Hey Nick & Scott; after watching your content - allot involving repairing, thought you might be interested in the ChemFree SmartWasher system. I've been using it for little over a year now and am very happy. The solvent is water based, has microbes which eat petroleum products, never needs changing, and is not toxic at all. The solvent is cheap, microbes are replenished with the Ozzymats, Ozzy Booster, or when adding more Ozzy Juice as it is water based and naturally evaporates. The washer is expensive, but a Harblrfreight washer can be modified for much less. The key to make the Ozzy Juice work is heat, maintain 110 degrees. I can go into more if you want. Good luck.
Mr Chops should mop the Dodge as there's some cool 1950s rat rod art on the truck. Yes it's a farm truck for fertilizer but it would look pretty neat with the International.
Great 64 dodge. Rare tank... Family had a few of these with 413 v8s. The more you asked the better they hauled... Congrats on bringing it back around! Duty ready!
Awesome again, years ago we had an old 55 Ford f600 with a good box that was our seed truck, always took a couple days to get going, never failed us! Thanks for sharing, but she gets put to work!
I remember when the Dodge LCF trucks were featured at the Detroit Auto Show when I was a kid. I thought the the Dodge's looked like the future! Your truck has aged well despite being nearly a half-century old! Keep her running!
"Bud Light" aka Wagner need love to. really feel in love with this tractor and the history of Wagner because of your video on it. cant wait to see it going.
Nice Job on the shifter. And you are correct the old 350 were work horses. I have a 350 4 Bolt Main in my mother's garage ready to bolt into my future car. Hopefully a 67-69 chevelle. I built the 350 blue printed and balance with a friend who owns a machine shop who did aviation motors for the airforce. have a great weekend.
We have a 1950 gmc 3 ton a few hours north of you in Alberta. We do some combining with a cockshut combine at a tractor club. Driving it with 300 bushels is fun. Takes a while to get up to speed with the little strait 6.
HAHA... Back when I was about 12-13, we pulled an old 69 international grain truck (binder) out of our corn crib. The guy that was in the the truck steering came flying out of the cab........... He was being swarmed by bees.....
We had a 64 900.. had a 413 in it originally, 5 speed and a 2 speed rear end.. and now, the bare engine block and heads would be worth more than twice the rest of the truck.
The carburetor. A kit. The old kits and old carburetors. The plunger for the fuel inside were made out of leather. Then went to rubber. Then just tune up. I miss the old equipment. My two old 1970's pickups. In my young years. Working on them. I would crawl underneath the hood and work on the engine. I lost part of my hearing in doing so. Yet. From standing on the outside of the trucks. I would time the engine by ear. A timing gun was always off. Because of the timing chain and gears. The back fire out of the carburetor. Enjoy the old truck. It's amazing. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Another way to do the Seafoam is to use a vacuum line and let it pull it in that way, do like a spray paint can top full, let it sit for 20 mins then start. Do this on all of my vehicles like once a year.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Good job nick. You got the old dodge tunnel again and touched up a lot of things on the truck and box setup. Old truck but very useful yet for its age. Lots of use yet left in it. Good job on the fix it jobs nick. Spring is around the corner. All for now. You take care and be careful. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy.
Great old truck. If you guys ever decide to restore another truck. Those old Dogdes would be great. They are beasts and look great restored. Great video. Thanks.
Love those dual exhausts underneath plus that truck is still there the body is in good shape it’s running and driving. Rare sharp old dodge hauler. They made cabovers and semis as well back in the old days. Older equipment is the way to go. This old machine was sitting. Don’t matter how long it’ll fire up and move. Change of gas or fluids guarantees it’ll stay running. Mainly oil change and fuel change is all! What a sweet old vehicle. I’d keep ‘em.
You can also text good old fashion transmission fluid rev up the motor and pour it into the carburetor slowly and it will burn and smoke but It will clean it out pretty good.
🇺🇸 I just love watching you fellas work your magic with 'recently' retired equipment, LOL. Another thing that amazing thing that gets me is nothing seems to rust out there 🙄. 🙏❄️🙏
Nick, just a thought here. Rather than dumping the seafoam in the carb, try this. Find a vacuum port to the intake, use some vacuum line and stick it in the can of Seafoam and let the engine vacuum slowly suck it in. Just like you did, let it sit after the bottle is empty for 10 min and then give it a go. You will get more product in that way and not risk hydro locking a cylinder. Hope it helps.
That seafoam goes in the gas and oil they sell a specify aerosol fogger seafoam that you spray down the carb to get all the carbon and stuff out of the motor
I would just like to know what that transmission came out of originally. Didn't look like it had been lengthened prior to the shortening. Just makes me wonder 🤔. Oh Well, another enjoyable and fun video from the Welker Family. God Bless You All, Nick and Family 🙏🇺🇲🚜👍
This week here in Pa is the Farm Show - they mentioned 2 organizations - Agristress - a support organization to help farmers deal with the stresses of farming and Agrability ( spell check) a group with rescourses for those farmers with special needs - have you heard of these?
Married a farmer 51 years ago I’ve never hear of these. I wonder if it’s like “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” we all know how that goes.
@@lynnschantz9185 I really don’t know- in the Agrability display they showed videos of a farmer that got a lift put on his tractor- another got a special apparatus that enables her to milk easier - evidently it is a govmt grant- I hope to trust that it really helps people - but I hear what your saying
Just a heads up, the world's biggest big bud plow day in alvordton Ohio will be next summer. 4 big buds will be there plus the two worlds largest plows which they will be pulling.
Isn't that fun?? Working a project that does NOT have a deadline of LAST WEEK!! Sounds like she is ready to rumble!! Gonna be a great addition to the fleet. Nice work.
A lot of people don't know how well seafoam, or similar product's really clean thing's up. Liquid molly and bg44k work well to. Many newer car's are direct gas injected, and the engine's get carboned up, and then they use oil. I use liquid molly or bg44k in my gas, and then i also use the engine flush when changing the oil because it cleans it up as well. The stuff i use in the oil is mild, because otherwise you could clog thing's up that come out like sludge. I bought a new car in 2019, and have used all this from the start to avoid the carbon build up. This old rig will be useful, and as obtaining running truck's like this become harder to obtain, it's good to get these old truck's running. I believe california, along with 15 or 16 other state's will be selling ev vehicle's only. Western truck and tractor work's in california, and oregon, but in california, they make you put a hole in the engine block so it can't be used. Warren said that if you know where to put the hole, the metal can be welded, and the engine will run fine. I guess where he lives in oregon doesn't have that law yet, so he has welded many steel block's. G-d bless, hope we get a house update from leg arm's.
You are very right with the new cars and carbon build up, but you might be attacking it the wrong way. Using BG44 is great but adding it to your gas only cleans up the injectors and won't do anything for the carbon issues on the intake valves. If you can find a vacuum port to the intake, use some vacuum line and stick it in the can of BG or Seafoam and let the engine vacuum slowly suck it in. That will get to the intake and the intake valves that are the real problem of carbon build up in new gasoline direct inject (GDI) engines. Just wanted to offer a tip and I hope it helps.
Uh, Nick, I’ve got a question.
Nick, “I thought you might”
Will my grandchildren get to watch your children get the Wagner running someday?

@@WelkerFarms grow a monster 2023 crop an then next winter you can fix up the wagner.
@@WelkerFarms I think it would still be worth it in my opinion but completely understand the time shortage.
One thing’s for sure, if the world devolves into a Mad Max type situation, Welker’s farm will piece together the coolest vehicles & have them running!
Something tells me that they've already done this! We just don't get "THAT" part of the farm ;)
Hoping it doesn’t happen anytime soon but I’d be happy to work and live in the welker state.
That's any farm
We never threw anything away on the farm. We had 4 engines from a model T and A that were wrapped up in that old black plastic and my brothers wanted to take them to the salvage metal yard but I paid them what salvage metal was bringing and stored them for another 40 years.

Super trucker with that stick shifter 😄 🤣 love it
There is something quite satisfying about driving older trucks and the CoE trucks. freedom from computers on a rig.
Gotta love the old grain trucks that had a box that could only go up 30 degrees and then you had to shovel out the last 100bu because they put the axles way too far ahead on the frame for the box and the box couldn’t max out it’s height going into the auger lol.
I felt like this episode should have been filmed in 8 mm black and white lol. Very cool seeing the old truck running and being used still
Armstrong steering makes you plan ahead.
Always easier to roll and then steer. Plan for that space needed.
Tail-gate on pickup trucks, usually end gates on old grain trucks and farm wagons. Electric assist thermostatic choke.
I’ve got a 1945 Ford murcury that was the families grain truck
Was always in the shed and no one but my family ever owned it we hoped to get into and get it running removed tge heads and was pleasantly surprised to find everything minus tge radiator was in good shape
Since the flat head engine is pretty easy to find parts for and once we ripped the sides of the grain box off to find a nice hard one deck to it thE plan was to turn it into a tool and service truck. I still can’t get over how simple those early engines are.
This Dodge has the best-looking cab, in my opinion. 👍
That truck is one of the better looking trucks on the farm.. Dont forget to fix the wipers Nick as they may come in handy in spring.
I wanna see it get a Injected Hemi or a Cummins Swap !!
Showin' that old girl some sledge love!!! I love it!!
Seafoam is an AWESOME product! Baby Blue is so Cool! 😎 Thanks for another great video! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! ❄️❄️
That truck is so cool. The 3 piece hood was made by a genius. I see the old Tonya Harding came out of retirement.

those old tanks work good for kids clubhouses and deer blinds

I really love those old classic trucks, they don't hold much but brings back memories
Love the gear shifter, sitting in the passenger seat innocently, then get a smack of the ear lol 🤣🤣🤣👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
You have so much old stuff around the shop to fix things….it reminds of an episode of Sanford & Son🙂
Great 64 dodge.
Rare tank...
Family had a few of these with 413 v8s.
The more you asked the better they hauled...
Congrats on bringing it back around!
Duty ready!
I’m sure there was WAY more work than what you showed us, Hollywood. Thanks for bringing us along.
Like the look of those old Dodge trucks. They look tuff. 👍👍
Awesome again, years ago we had an old 55 Ford f600 with a good box that was our seed truck, always took a couple days to get going, never failed us! Thanks for sharing, but she gets put to work!
Nick, you were supposed blow Seafoam as a mist into the intake. Not dump it in! So it carries over all the intake valves and valleys...
Revving the engine makes plenty of aiflow to throw the seafoam on internals.
Holy cow, the rumble from this beast of an engine idling is insane, I can actually FEEL it through my headset!
same here Noah I could feel it as well!
@@GRE2057 Same here lol
I remember when the Dodge LCF trucks were featured at the Detroit Auto Show when I was a kid. I thought the the Dodge's looked like the future! Your truck has aged well despite being nearly a half-century old! Keep her running!
There's never a down time for Welker Farms!!! Love your videos and family involvement!!
I remember those days when pusher axles were added to those single axle tracks. We had a few of them. Never seen a hoist like that one either.
Super entertaining...the pounding the cutting, the welding...and filled with Nick Welker personality.
A bigger hammer always works.
Love the strap for the hinge for the door.. So in love with this truck. Yes keep them old trucks running. Awesome work. God Bless ya
Loving the big stick!!! Need a skull with eyes that light up!!!!!!
I do believe it is called the endgate on a truck. Ron
That's what they were called around here, anyway.
Looks like your truck has a twin setting in the yard. Great example of how farmers have to be creative at repurposing.
Really excellent job, Nick! You guys are so dang resourceful! I have to admit to a belly laugh when I first saw you shifting that "extended" shifter!
Hi Nick you should put a electric fan on that Dodge. The fan is to far away to keep engine cool. You will also gain 10 to 15 hp.
"Bud Light" aka Wagner need love to. really feel in love with this tractor and the history of Wagner because of your video on it. cant wait to see it going.
I love the side doors for engine compartment access!
I am so thankful I moved down from Montana to Texas! I have way too much metal in my body to tough out those western Montucky winters!
Nick, they do make an aerosol seafoam you spray into the carb at a high idle as well
Love the old truck! I am envious…….
You amaze me! A farm or business is lucky to have one talented person. You have 3!! Nothing stumps any of you!
Nice Job on the shifter. And you are correct the old 350 were work horses. I have a 350 4 Bolt Main in my mother's garage ready to bolt into my future car. Hopefully a 67-69 chevelle.

Dosing the gas with Sea-foam as well as using Lucas products is a way to keep engines in top shape
Nice old Dodge, be safe.
Nice seeing the old girl running again, u know what it is.
It’s always fun bringing something old like that truck back to life again.
HAHA... Back when I was about 12-13, we pulled an old 69 international grain truck (binder) out of our corn crib. The guy that was in the the truck steering came flying out of the cab........... He was being swarmed by bees.....
Watching you "install" the tail gate reminded me of that old saying "If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer."
We used to use transmission oil down the carb! Stops the knocking! LOL!
Middle of winter, paint bed too match that beautiful cab

That seafoam is awesome. but get the engine at running temp then pour it in and let it sit for like an hour then run the snot out of the engine.
Thanks for braving the cold to demonstrate the revived truck.
Thanks for another great video.

Oh that's next week! I just might, need to confirm
Love that ole Dodge !
I always use Seafoam in the gas tanks of lawnmowers or what engines sat unused for a while.
Great job Nick! Nothing a Welker can't fix.🙂
As I had said before That truck held the road much better than the G.M.s we drove. WE had DETROIT 238 diesels in ours.
That seafoam goes in the gas and oil they sell a specify aerosol fogger seafoam that you spray down the carb to get all the carbon and stuff out of the motor
Love it and old horses are the best. That truck will serve your grandchildren some day. Thank you, take care and God bless.
This is the first I have seen your channel but man I love how you make things work with just what you have around!!
Welcome Me Yes. Great to have you following us. Blessings👍
That gear shifter was a real head knocker should have left 😂 great entertainment
I got an older suburban with a 350 in it. One cylinder drinks the oil and fouls the plug. I think I will try your Seafoam technique!
Most of all, I like the color of the dodge. In the 60’s , we had dodge grain trucks .
