Bringing Old Farm Equipment Back To Life! Revitalizing A John Deere Running Gear!

[@davepatti2296]

Reminds me so much of working with my dad in the truck garage over the winter months back in the 70s and 80s. Really not much different type of work, wooden rack bodies, dump frames, basic truck work and repair. Dad had a similar disposition, using good pieces and parts saved from various other projects. Those long bolts tell a story about the power company, and that's the kind of thing that's part of all those parts and pieces. Whatever you build will be useful, dad would also say you can make changes once you get a better idea of what you can use it for. Treasure every day with your dad, these are days that are priceless. God Bless.

My favorite projects are making useful stuff out of what i have laying around. This is a great idea.

[@jamesberg3106]

I enjoy watching you two and the banter. Good times

[@Blackwellll3066]

another great video for sure

[@erichk1674]

True meaning of a lumber wagon .

[@Arch-uu1oj]

People getting stuff done. Very impressive!!!

[@johnkeynes8873]

Great trailer for around the farm it will be very handy.

[@reginabraok939]

Thanks for sharing another informational video! There always seems to be something interesting happening at Gierok Farms!

[@veetwin75]

Love reperposing into something useful, it feels good when your done

[@jpeel2066]

Great videos. Always good working with your dad. Remember it well. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@dekr3415]

You guys are blessed to have such a wholesome life. I get farmings tough, Im talking the other side of life - family, hardwork, having purpose and each other and living in the countryside. I am truly jealous, thanks for sharing a bit of your life so I can somewhat in a small way experience what I always wanted No kidding man, thanks

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video. Going to be a nice wagon.

[@clinthochrein888]

Idk, looks spot on to me 😎 awesome to see a running gear getting reporposed .

[@benjohnson1082]

I have an old Ford running gear rigged up just like your setup for hauling trees/limbs around the farm. I stretched the gear out longer and it works great. It’s like the pocketknife piece of equipment.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Great winter project and I'm sure very useful wagon. Always great to refurbish things, all the way around handy.

[@bruceprentice6441]

I built a big round bale wagon in similar fashion to what you are doing 40 years ago, and used threaded rod to fasten cross members to the long beams underneath. Wagon is still in use, no longer for hauling hay bales, but carrying the combind pickup head.

[@VIVA4EVER2001]

Crackin job guys, cant wait to see it in use.

[@AlexSteiner-ny5ek]

Thanks for your videos

[@MrTonyharrell]

Looking forward to the sawmill videos👍

[@countryboy3201]

Looking good!

[@harveypenner2386]

Good Job!

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Well done. I can remember doing something similar years ago for a small bale hay wagon.

[@jamesbristow5740]

My Uncle told me once he always had something on the side, grain corn, hay bales for horse people, something, cause the milk check was what it was and it was never quite enough. My Gierok hat just left St Paul usps. Thanks fellas!

[@anthonyblalock1790]

You and your dad are super in all your projects.

[@robertlusnia506]

Enjoyed watching you working on your hay wagon

[@derekjensen5918]

Watching this video brought back memories of working with my dad in the garage on making a wood hauling trailer out of the back end of an.old 78 Chevy pick up. It's always something special doing these things with your father. Thank you for the video and can't wait to see more progress on the running board...God Bless

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thank you for sharing. Hope the Herifers like there new home? Nice look log rack. Should work just as good for round bales too.

[@tonywise3705]

Great project

[@jamesmarsh4957]

it will make a good round bale trailer too Aaron , but very good for wood too , it shows what you can do with old running gear like that

[@thomasburton5843]

Love watching projects come together. Makes me think about all the stuff I need to do.

[@charlesdaily5549]

Looking forward to the sawmill videos

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting

[@Lcalvert66]

I love your videos! I love watching others like Working horses with Jim not to promote his channel but he does the sawmill on the side as well. Very interesting take a look at his videos. It gets mesmerizing watching him saw! I don’t know why but it makes you get into it! Lol I can’t wait to watch your videos on sawing as well. It’s fascinating to just watch!

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Looks like a good build guys.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Very nice video

[@ryanbachman9227]

Now you guys can put that new mill to work. Good job. I got my hat a while back from Gierok farms. Very nice looking hat. People won’t be disappointed at all. Thanks guys. God bless

[@adamkonopko3580]

Good job 👍

[@Garrett572xpg]

Could weld up a square that slides over the ends of the cross beams with a square tubing upright welded to it. Drill a hole on 2 sides to bolt it to the beam so the are removable

[@Scotthobart1086]

Great video

[@TomBiggerstaff-gn1ws]

Nice

[@williammatzek4660]

Seen the running gear thought you were making a hay trailer. You and your brothers could stack hay behind your New Holland baler!

[@randyvilleneuve4907]

Those old running gears come in handy. I have been getting my lumber from the Amish saw mills. Pretty nice lumber for the price. I rebuilt a Kasten running gear some time ago. I kicked myself later as I could have bought a new 8 ton E-Z Trail for almost what I had in it. I later bought the E-Z Trail, what a nice running gear. You can go 60 MPH and that thing trails straight.

[@jamesmorris4995]

if dad says its spot on its spot on

[@johnhenderson299]

That's heavy duty great job

[@burtzorn4059]

I was taught to chain two corners, opposite one another (Front right and left rear) And bolt to gear the same way

[@br927]

I want to see that sawmill running! I mean using! If you're looking at it that close, you better be buying it!🤣

[@burtzorn4059]

Best gears ever built 1065 A and 1075 A John Deere with the adjustable tongue.

[@AmandaDoll-hi4dr]

Nice chainsaws. i like them a lot

[@davetenney5800]

Well...I was hoping he was gonna carve an eagle when he fired up that chainsaw, but I was disappointed 😂

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Cool wagon. Is it going to be green or red? (Just kidding) It will come in really handy. I enjoy seeing useful things being made out of what has already been manufactured. Thanks and they DID look even to me.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Great video! And you should have... 😂 An idea for side pockets: bore holes 3/4 of the depth of cross members, to the size of 1" pipe. Just stick whatever length of pipe in the holes that you need. 👍👍

[@miwilia]

Did you cut that wood on your new sawmill?

[@marklen2322]

I would be building it for round bales

[@BillDivyak]

Looks like 963 gear, one of Deere's best. Have several; no weave at highway speeds. You picked a good one. Was wondering, you chain all 4 corners; we only chain 2 on a diagonal. Was told so that the main king beams did not crack. Did you ever have any crack/break?

[@nightstorm9128]

Like us Irish say,,,Be da jayzus ,,ezz hands on em like shovels boy,,

[@anthonyhengst2908]

It's great when you can repurpose equipment on the farm. Even that cat was approving.

[@petenolte4192]

Heres a question can i stop the husking bed on a picker so you can pick sweet corn? Just a question if it ever been done

[@shealy265]

what type of wood did you use for the different boards for the trailer.

[@garyfeser4294]

Great video, but on a serious note I gotta know who is the Sarah Evans fan?

[@JoaoPires-pd9ot]

Oi 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏✌️ bem tudo bom o tratorzinho

[@brianwestveer9532]

I think you are going to need better tires, that is going to be heavy duty.

[@timothyjeffiers8042]

That frame is going to break that running gear.😅😅😅😅

[@jimbradford818]

how many cows do you milk and also why don't you guys run feed mixer for feeding silage

[@NYTrapper69]

Thats alot of weight for them axles and thats before ya put anything in the wagon....i know its none of my business but im curious if yall work normal jobs besides the farm...i ask because ive been watching your vids for maybe 6months or so and seen all your cows...how do yall live cause you cant make much doin what your doin....is the you tube business that lucrative....lol

[@virginiagraber9070]

Nice, Thanks ⛾👌(N.G Ind. )
