Build back better

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Driver's Ed used to say place hands at "10" & "2". With farm trucks, you put a hand at "12", and go back and forth to "10" & "2" just trying to stay on the road! Great video!

[@Ham68229]

But today, it's no longer "10 & 2", it's "6".

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@Ham68229 so on farm trucks it would be "4" & "8" when you start at "6"? 🤔😯🤣👍

[@Ham68229]

​@@MorganOtt-ne1qj just saying in today driver's ed, they teach the "6" nothing else. I was taught "10, 2 & 12" but, times change 🙃

[@jeramy2398]

I'm glad I engaged my super squints and wore my safety crocs when watching this video also didn't smoke around anything combustible. I wouldn't want the safety patrol commenters criticize my approach to safety while watching this video. 😂😂😂😂

[@rollling7523]

Dis is great news. Build Back Better is amazing.

[@steveb6103]

This is the type of repair I did for 49 years. On all types of equipment. Yep, I knew that lifting on the wing wasn't going to work, from experience. Maybe when you finally replace your service truck, the new one will have a 3 ton crain. That's what I have.

[@davelively1901]

Andy is a big man, yet moves around like a 20 yr old. Sometimes I cringe when I put my wore out bod in those situations.. Enjoy everyday!

[@norman7179]

Cranes are NICE when you need them. Once you have one, you can't live without it !

[@transmitterguy478]

LOL! 😂 Andrew has a "Kiss World Tour 77" shirt on, that's the year I graduated High School. I bet it was Dad's shirt, haha.

[@alithemagicbum]

Good eye 👍🍻was thinking the same 😂

[@deerefred-oz]

I dont know how we ever managed without a farm loader, got our first one on a JD 3010 in the early 60's :)

[@willieb58]

Glad I wore my safety glasses tonight.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Excellent job as usual. From the fabrication to the rigging to the narration, I'm always impressed with your thought process and fabrication skills and that's coming from someone that works for a company that owns Fabshop lol. Try and botch the next repair so I don't sound like a kiss ass every video will you? take it easy Andy.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We were talking the other day that I need to do a whole spoof video and do everything wrong.

[@Adam_Poirier]

I bet it will get a lot of views and a lot of comments which will generate a lot of KZbin activity, which will really tickle the algorithm hard

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

I say 👍 for another wheelie with the e bike.😃 Nice repair FF&F!!

[@tomthompson489]

That could’ve been a difficult job, but Andy used his head, turned out slick

[@edmundfrankham]

Andy you are a champion you never say cant, take everything head on BUT,,,, at 74 yrs old i notice things that i was similar to you im my aproach as a boilemaker of 57 years both knees are gone as is the back and one hip dosent add up to a great retirement I notice you are doing the bullocking work while the younger men look on share the load mate

[@norman7179]

Sometimes "hands on" is the only way to go. Having someone else do it just makes me uncomfortable and I'm 81 years old.

The tug of war between hydraulic power and the strength of key steel mounting points is REAL. Andy and crew forced a "PIECE" treaty and the "farm show" will go on. .........Great Job Andy & crew. ...Oh if these folks in the grocery stores only knew what it genuinely takes to bring them their food.

[@duggydo]

I've got a truck about that same model. After it sits it won't engage because the drain back valve is shot. I have to put it in Neutral and rev it a bit then she works until the next time it sits and drains the converter into the pan.

[@norman7179]

Will we get to see a wheelie with the new bike ? Be sure to wear your bike helmet this time, don't want anyone to get hurt. Thanks 👍😊

[@harveystephens6115]

Nice fix. Give that service truck some love. It saves your bacon so take care of it!!! Enjoyed

[@jenniferwhite6089]

work on too much equipment to know that was poorly designed we had then happened to one of the mergers we bent the hydraulic cylinder to build a new end on both cylinders to the sleeve and used seals to protect the sleeve to add a grease nipper to when with 1 1/2 think brackets to one on each side of the new end same designed cat did with other pins i did here too does help when you have the space for a fabrication shop and a machine shop

[@charleslynch7274]

Great video as always u never disappoint hope all is well

[@davelively1901]

Sure seems to me that's there is a design flaw to have caused a ripping of the metal unless there was an obstacle or repeated excessive stress. Glad you had a high & dry area to do the initial repair. I'd beef up the right side in the same mannor. Great teamwork!

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

More brave than me with that 9" , I guess some peace of mind with the good quality grinding wheel

[@ronaldradtke8577]

That young guy looks like a good hand !! Looks like he wants to learn n takes ahold n listens good !! Hard to find good help. Take care of ur employees these men n young women r hard to find. Great job. That’s Trump’s job to Build back Better !! Farm hard n pray harder !!!

[@dorsetfendtfarmer720]

Hi all. That’s a lot of weight and strain on that pin and holder. CAD design is very clever BUT doesn’t allow for stresses and strain of the real world. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@jameswoody7905]

you should have protected that cylinder more the slightest spark from a weld will introduce problems on a shaft

[@akfarmboy49]

Good video thank you I know you’ve been busy On chopping and everything else. I think you were kind avoiding this project . I grew up on a farm.

Tks for sharing. The field repair looks professional.. alittle grinding and yellow paint... who would know.. can't wait to see the bike build and test run.

[@joeyouruncle9850]

Why did I put my safety squints on when you started grinding towards the cam

[@deronlogterman2951]

Excellent repair guys!!

[@roba4297]

Perhaps it would be worth looking at the cylinder body fixing for any signs of weakness. The whole geometry of that cylinder looks wrong, with the pulling force too close to the merger table pivot.

[@williammurphy1592]

Good job fellas

[@briansmith1514]

Love the Kiss t-shirt Andrew. Also, I'm glad to see you not walk under that loader...as a former young person I would probably have walked through there. Good maturity young man. E-bike: I'm wondering if there is a requirement that Andy perform another strange way to die with this new version? Maybe an endo this time?

Always making equipment better than new

[@tomvalk1927]

Had the same problem with my Allison trans when they sit for awhile they lose pressure. Turn the truck off and start it back up and reverse works fine.

Built back better for sure. At least someone is doing it.. I thought you had some bent framework at the pivot point or something there for a second. It was hard to see from my phone but it wasn't looking too good but you're right it's just the way things lay

Safety THIRD ! Seriously though, that was just a joke. we don't want anyone injured.

[@davidgrefrath6629]

Don't ask how I know.. but if that happens again take your PTO off and drop your 3-point hitch to the ground.. it will make it easier to hook the cylinder up.. no sense in fixing the other side... I'm sure they'll be a second new merger of a different make next 🤭

[@pierretrottier8273]
