BREAKDOWNS!? Bring it on - Leg Arms

It may seem like a lot of breakdowns but in all honestly this is a fairly normal day on the farm. Equipment is put through its paces day in and day out. Farming isn't easy on machinery and over time there will be breakdowns. Some breakdowns can be catastrophic but with a stellar man like LEG ARMS (Scott Welker) around, things keep going!

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

"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'

I wore my Welker Farms Eagle shirt this week at work while driving a 2001 International tractor pulling a 3 axle lowboy. Felt badass wearing the shirt but my truck isn't as nice as yours lol.

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."

[@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.

If you have a foaming problem in the sprayer tank fined Halt just a small squeeze will stop the foaming instantly.

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.

[@Juris47]

Leg arms must have been drifting through that corner with the truck hehe

[@555mungo555]

Its actually better if the hole doesn't line up. Those bearings are made to be hable to rotate a little bit, to eliminate stress due to missalignement. This stress can destroy the bearing prematurely. So by making it not line up it greases the surface that allows that movement, and insures it works properly. Grease will also work its way to the hole of the bearing, but only after having lubricated the whole "swivelling" surface. Excuse my poor english.
