The series 1 cabs are ugly, I hope you're updating the cab style-wise.

You need Tony Fast to help you guys be done in a flash

yall are amazing, quite the project, just different to see how you guys have older equipment and get buy in comparison to some of the other farm tubers. Must say your cinemetography is high class

NOW IF THAT HAD BEEN A JOHN DEER YOU WOULD BE SCREWED . NO SELF REPAIR FOR YOU

You all should really be wearing safety glasses. Hammers chip, other things break, plus it will help keep the dirt out of your eyes. I'm a chemist so I got used to wearing them in the lab but I also wear them in the shop when I'm working on our forklift or dozer just to make sure nothing gets in my eye. Luckily the only thing I have gotten stuck in my eye was a contact. It was wedged up on top of my eyeball and the optometrist had to put a dye in my eye to stain the contact so he could find it so not the most pleasant thing but better than having a piece of steel drilled from your eye or worse yet losing your vision. Safety first is a great way to make sure you still have everything you were born with when you shuffle off this mortal coil and that's my goal. Great project love seeing old iron being put back to use which is my milling machines, lathes, and bandsaw are all over 60 years old, well that and I can't afford newer :)

Great build series,would love to of seen you putting a modern cab on it

You guys think your pritty slick drip feeding this to us huh?! Depribing us of this build is just torture

Looking good Y'all have a merry Christmas

You guys have been really aching for a grain cart but lacked the tractor to pull it. I saw the 'test fit' of the hydraulic PTO there and know that is just a hint of what is to come. This also explains the extremely high horsepower you are planning with this machine. The massive tires will ensure it floats over the fields and really should not have any problems with getting stuck although to say that is to potentially jinx that......😏😏

You all aren't doing this right, you aren't bleeding enough to appease the mechanic gods, which is probably why I do to make up for you all neglecting your duties :)

Like your videos!

Have you considered rolling the axles out and wire brushing or sandblasting before final repainting?

After seeing how easy this is to do, everyone will be making this modification to their Big Buds. 😂 Nice work, guys, and of course, I'm being sarcastic. That is a ton of work. Be sure to pressure test your oil tanks before painting and filling with oil. Oil will find any little hole and leak, I used to build oil tanks on Wagner Mining Equipment loaders and dump trucks.

A pallet jack for removing/installing tires helps immensely. Especially when you don’t have enough room in the shop to get at it from the side

Amazing job!

When I was younger, I loved working on projects like this! Converting smaller tractors to use Chevy parts to fabricating equipment. It was always fun bringing out the larger socket sets, as most people freak out at the thought of a 1" drive, but freak at the thought of a 2-1/2" drive! We always had a tight budget, so what we did was hijack parts off of other equipment. It was always funny how JD equipment was never used as spare parts! This looks like a great way to spend a winter! It would be fun to see how the finished product holds up to a tractor pull!

It always scares me when leg arm's is doing something that potentially could hurt him makes me cringe

Always excited to see another new Welker Farms video on the Big Bud build.

👍

You guys have inspired me into metal work, fabricating and mechanics, can't thank you guys enough! Keep up the great work!

I can't help but wonder what you guys are asking for this Christmas!!!

Doing a great job boys 😂😂😂😂❤

This tractor rebuild is epic. This is way better then watching someone do a will it start video on an old car just to leave the car sit there. The advantage to rebuilding this monster on your own is you guys will know every inch of this bad boy front to back. I'd suggest the name phoenix because this baby is rising from the ashes but idk if that's a good big bud name lol, Big Phoenix lol . Merry Christmas everyone and God bless us, everyone. 🎅 🤶 🎄 And I'd be willing to bet that this rebuild will be the envy of farmers across the country. Not anywhere near a epic fail. I have much faith in you guys. All farmers should be watching this series.

The threads on that bolt have left the chat…..

Are you thinking of widening the cab? Just a little work with the fire wrenches. More room would be nice! 😁

Very excited by this series. Hope you get a bigger cab. Love the shots with the kids riding along.

Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your families

You all 3 are amazing people. Workmanship, skills on anything y’all do is always amazing!!! Gonna have to come up one day and meet you all. Superb folks right here folks. No I am not some popular guy but I am just a good ole country boy living the dream. my in-laws are well known throughout the world wide for her outstanding work as a news anchor. Edit ✍️; Typos etc

One thing you're missing for the big bud.......CHROME SPINNERS !!!!

What are you going to name the franking bud my be Brutes Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year guy's awesome ❤😊

I haul grain not too far away from you in saskatchewan. When loading first thing I do i call banging the hoppers . Grab the crank and make sure they are closed . Where I dump they unload me so I learned the hard way never trust the gate on a hopper

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Did big bud utilize diffs from CAT? It looked like you had the older style CAT bolts holding the diff into the pumpkin

Just got you guys 4 more subscribers!

awesome work,. God bless your family

You guys are amazing!! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from Oklahoma.

You guys are Amazing!

Scott why not use a pogger spanner to get the holes lined up before you try and put your bolts in we used them all the time when i was in steal erecting for getting bolt holes lined up and then the bolts just drop in the holes i am sure they will make life easier for you and they come in all sizes of the bolts your using and would also like to Wish you all a fantastic Christmas holiday and a healthy new year and very good crop yields for next harvest John

There is a lot of satisfaction in a job like that. Especially when it rolls out of the shop on its own power

The wider gap on top of the fender well needed as the weight of the tractor settles down onto the tire. I would maintain that gap on top for the new tires.

I just hope the transmission ratio works with the rear end gear and the new drive line angle doesn’t cause a vibration. It’s hard to tell on a little screen lol. The tractor is a really good design I’m surprised they never covered the country. Just to big for most areas I guess

I maybe too late, but while it’s all in pieces, you should think about ‘sandblasting’ it, prior to painting so you’ve protected it from future rusting? Also it’d make a good video! Just a thought

You Guys are awesome , nothing phases you .

Your date stamp is wrong there is no 27 month I’m sorry but most of the world works on dd-mm-yyyy so in this case America is wrong. More importantly when do you start on the 3 point now that you have mounted the PTO drive

Too bad they don't have a Scania V8 16.1 liter 770 hp which is only 8 hp less. But better in every other way with more durability and consumes less fuel and has more torque about 3700nm which is 350nm more. Or why not Volvo's 6a 17 liter 780 hp and 3800 nm. Soon maybe Scania will start selling trucks with the world's best v8 with 770 hp. I don't know who manufactures this 6a of 778 hp. But what I don't know nothing beats Scania and Volvo in said engines. Older Steiger in Sweden have several installed older scania v8 engines and draw 50% less and give much more power.

If you start titling with the words “MONSTER TRUCK TIRES” you will get a ton of new subs. No one cares about “ag tires” or “big tires” but “MONSTER TRUCK TIRES” now that’s insane and ppl like insane. So let the ppl know in the titles and the thumb nails that you two brothers are insane. We like insanity.

Love watching what you guys make. It was probably covered in a different video, but what headphones do you guys wear? I've seen it in a few videos and I'm in the market for some

Great to see Mega Bud Morfing into a One of a kind.. Who doesn't Love Bug Buds from the United Kingdom

I’m really enjoying this Bud rebuild. It’s great how you’re taking something that was considered junk and making it usable again. I especially like the idea that you can do your own repairs and not an authorized dealer like what those guys are dealing with their new John Deere equipment. This tractor will do all the functions and get the job done. And the best thing, no government juice. Looking forward to seeing it in operation this spring.
