BREAKDOWNS!? Bring it on - Leg Arms

Ref editing: THANKS for including 'CC' - closed caption'. I have a severe hearing loss and was having difficulty catching all the dialog. With CC I can see to augment the hearing. Thanks again.

Glad it worked, trying to figure out how to enable it early on! Thanks for watching!

[@grassylakefarm890]

I liked how Leg Arms put the tire back on. Although he didn't explain the type of time it was and the process. You can see that he placed a hammer near the tire to check the balance of it. Very well done

[@j007pace]

Great video as always. Got my Welker Farms tee shirts this week, standard logo plus the 86 Eagle and I'm wearing with pride. My kids were like "Dad, you bought merch? you have never bought merch." I just had to explain that Welker Farms is a cut above and I'm proud to support your channel. Keep up the awesome videos :)

Thank you J P! We really appreciate it and hope to keep making videos for you to enjoy!

[@lefty0741]

I have to give Leg Arms props for tackling any kind of dirty job and doing it with a smile. Is there anything the guy can't do? Great videos and thanks for the behind the scenes look at farming and the many laughs. All of you guys are great!

Yes got to give props to Leg arms! I think Hollywood is scared to get dirty though it's probably in his contract that he's not allowed to. LOL

I really appreciate seeing the whole operation, warts and all, not just 'peaches and cream'. I am amazed at how talented and working together the whole crew is!

"Only breaks if / when you use it" - granddad's favorite saying. Old tough as nails Swed. Told stories about 'fishing' for eels in a 'creek' in Sweden. Going across the street starting the pot belly stove in the one room school house. He was a farmer / blacksmith and a dozen other repairman on the farm. Born in 1888 he would be in amazement of how much farming has changed in the last 50 years since his passing. Take care be safe. 'Spin'

[@billsargent3407]

@Kris P. Bacon They do seem to commit to death when un-wanted

[@BeachBoyAAA]

Things deteriorate just sitting there (belts, tires, corrosion...) but if you use them you have to maintain things as they break. Ideally you’d have a maintenance program for each piece of equipment and check and service each bearing every year, but there just isn’t enough time to do that. So you hope the bearings are still good and just fix them as they fail. Eventually the equipment becomes unreliable and you either rebuilt it or retire it. The Big Buds are a great example. Someone else retired them but the Welkers rebuild as needed. All that helps create interest for their youtube channel, and some income to pay for the work too. Everyone wins.

[@rickduquette3399]

Wow lots of downtimes today, well that always sucks. I guess that's all part of farming. And a shout out to the person that is doing your editing. The videos have gotten much better over time, you have greatly improved your editing skills and some of your camera angles make viewing much more interesting to watch, compared to some of the other videos that are out there. Keep up the good work you're doing one fabulous job. Your videos are worth the time to watch thank goodness for the folks at Welker Farms keep it up.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Thank you for those kind words 👍,Blessings

Need to do better with inspections and preventive maintenance. All three failures today would likely have been observable on a preinspection. Lucky you weren’t at speed on a highway with that tire.

Scott, where did you pick up your mechanical skills ? Self taught trial and error , school's. I have been a mechanic for a long time and I am impressed by your knowledge. Love all of your explanations!,

[@legarms51]

Well thank you but I half to say it's because my parents gave me much freedom to explore things. Everything I've learned has been mostly been self taught. Living on a farm that runs older equipment gives one much to work on.

Although it's a big pain in the rear, it's somehow pleasing to see that your experience farming isn't that much different than mine was. . . just allot bigger. Welding, cutting, smithing, wrenching, painting, greasing, clamping, pumping, parts chasing . . . just about anything BUT fieldwork. Yup, that's farming.

For repairs out in the feild or at another farm. You guys need a Montezuma tool box for the back of your trucks. It would help tremendously since you could have all the tools you need in the feild and they would all be organized

Good job Leg Arms it looks like they keep you busy with repairs. I know the feeling I worked in maintenance regular and computer maintenance.

[@dannypeaslee1789]

God bless welkers great plan on the thread of the needle spraying nick between a building and a poll thats clever

[@WelkerFarms]

First time ever tried that honestly!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Reuseable fittings come in handy. Converting to JIC also makes life easier. No bearings ever failed from too much grease.

[@wssides]

Not even close to true. Many modern bearings and bushings have seals that break with too much grease and let dirt in. Many manufacturers either make no provision for re-greasing or put plugs in that can be replaced with fittings. I saw many universal joints and tie rod ends fail from over enthusiastic greasing.

[@roverdad]

Don’t know how you can edit videos when so much is going on but I am thankful that you did. Great video!

[@40yeartrucker25]

Run the flat steer up on a 4" block so when you put the jack under the axle it will lift it high enough to get the new tire on. So there you go.

[@aserta]

Could be even easier if they had an air jack and used the air supply. There's various high tonnage air jacks on the market, some with decent prices, that can be safely modified to lift even in the field (like larger bottom plate, and custom lifting cup).

[@robertpappa5129]

Running air seeder in ND. JD power/seeder/cart. We run cart behind, most all do in this area. It is felt that it allows a much better view of the seeder units. Appears that cart between does have a major weakness in that regard.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

[@piotrswiatkowski9293]

i would recomend to grease them just once - when they are new. The problem is that the bearings always move a little bit inside the housing- dirt comes inside - then when you grease it it also drives dirt inside the bearing. Dirt inside a bearing is much worse then running with not enough grease. My drill do about 1500 acres i a year for about 10 years and I changed just one bearing last year. Als always great job guys .

Back last century in the seafaring community was a term called Norwegian steam. Scott grate use of Norwegian steam to load the flat tire into your truck. You three are the Norwegian steam team. I am from a Scandinavian heritage, compared to Scott (Leg Arms) I am pinky arms. My wife has found many creative ways to lift or move heavy items. I came home from work many years ago and saw the scissors jack under the sink. I found my wife and asked her why the jacks was under the sink. She explained the new garbage disposal was to heavy to lift into place so she jacked it up so she could twist the ring. She is a petite German woman that I have had the honor to be married to for 42 years.
