Adrian I have to say I'm watching KZbin farmers a while know and yours is top class you can put your hand to anything and your knowledge you give back is second to none well done your great

[@Joe90V]

Cyclist tip: always let 3-in-1 oil trickle into every cable casing, liberally. Reduces friction of the cable and less pressure on the nipple. Also keeps moisture out. 👍

[@jacquelinefilby1842]

I love the instant smile on your face just after you started it up. Such a satisfying feeling when you fix something better than before.

[@marcclement7396]

I just found your channel. I love all of it. I worked on a dairy farm in New Hampshire and my Great grandparents came to the USA from Ireland. So this is a wonderfull mix of my love and pride of my Irish heritage and nostalgic memories of milking cows in rural New Hampshire. I appreciate the pride you take in your work and humane treatment of your animals. Very impressed.

Great job, Adrian

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Adrian. Great job on repairing. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼

[@gregmooney7363]

Great repair video as usual in your spare time. I was surprised to notice that I was no longer subscribed to your channel, missed a few episodes. No harm to remind viewers to check as it's pretty common on KZbin apparently.

[@ThomasGFarrell]

Adrian with that video you have have brought calm to my evening Thank you Great video as usual Good luck with the calving

Thanks for the show Adrian 🍻 🇦🇺

Block connectors for cable repairs reminds me of 20+ years ago repairing motorbike throttle cables to get through the day and sometimes a month or more till we got a new cable

[@user-zf8zg7vc7e]

I thought i had strayed into an episode of "Orange County Choppers". Looked like you were working on handle bars of motorbike!!! You could change the name of your Channel to "Cavan County Scrapers" ....

[@randybutler4772]

Good equipment modification. Interesting changes to system controls. Thank you for sharing. 🐄

I learned about chokes today. well worth the time after watching this video.😊

Great video Adrian. Keep it up!

[@Jonathan-ww8ut]

You want to buy an old tractor lawnmower adrian and take of the deck off it and bang a scraper on the front of it be very handy around the yard

[@smalldairyfarmer]

Great video Adrian you're petrol yard scarper really handy verry recently i made a silage pusher im using it the same way your were shoving in the silage and i I'm not long using silage pusher i wouldn't do without it

[@emmett1739]

Great job on the scraper , handy for pushing up the silage , personally I can't do without the Stihl back pack leaf blower , amazing for both wet and dry yard work.keep up the contents

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO SWEETIE KEEP UP WITH YOUR LOVELY FARM

[@jamesjohnston1007]

Another good 1 Adrian

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

if you want to stop rust, first bake the cable to remove the moisture nto too hot just enough to remove water, then find some flexible bathroom sealant and coat the cable in it, works great, cables last far longer. add some oil in the sheath before pushing cable back through lubes it as well.

[@edwinirwin6222]

Had one of them scrapers ,Had the same problems on a regular basis ,glad I got rid off it

[@IFarmWeFarm]

A good few people have message me this evening telling me the same, so it’s a common issue seemly

[@deutzmans1]

Block connectors have got me out of trouble a few times with cable and a cable cutter helps to cut the cable tidily and not spread out the strands making it easier to thresd into sheath

[@davidkeating6961]

Bought a new honda yard scraper last year. Was watching your video, dipped it for oil and to my surprise it looked off colour. I am going to turn the petrol off after use and keep an eye to it. The oil was only changed two months ago. The petrol might be getting in to the oil when not in use, That might be why the petrol on off tap is so noticeable. They are a very handy scraper.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Very handy for sure but keep a very close eye on that oil David 😂

[@barrytipton1179]

Can remember as a kid 64 or more years ago dad using brass soldered nipples on his Ariel 500cc motorcycle and sidecar

[@johnn984]

Well Adrian. I wonder is the scraper fit for pushing in the silage. It would be under feck all pressure scraping the slats for u but the silage could be a fair ask for it. Did u ever think of making a silage pusher for the front of your quad. It would have heaps of power It could solve a few issues for you. Thanks for all the great videos through the year 👍

[@ianhaggart1438]

Like the A TEAM when they appear out of a cave with some modified motor..... 😮 😅.. cracking vid sir.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

We don’t have scrapers like that in the states, that I’m aware of. I like the concept and your use though and think it will suit us. I’m keeping an eye out for a small used BCS tiller or walk behind mower to modify into a yard scraper.

[@999Giustina]

I was just thinking this is like a roto tiller but less complex than a snowblower.

[@everestyeti]

Better than factory.👍

[@andrewjones-productions]

I really like this scraper. For those that want to push heavier loads, I'm wondering if the track driven snow pushers wouldn't be a better option. They are essentially the same as the scraper, but a little larger and on tracks. It might not be very maneouverable in a tight space, but if you have the space and just want to push larger loads of silage, it might be an option. I have no idea how easy they would be to get in Ireland though. They are very common here in Japan, although not as common as the snow blower versions that are larger again.

[@craigdoig9486]

14:33 great content I have done similar repairs before on lawnmowers

[@patlydon519]

One can buy a crimp for the cable in b and q. Copper spray grease is great for them cables

[@banjoboy8802]

Grease or Vaseline the wire cable. 1. To lubricate 2. To prevent water ingress 3. To prevent rust 4. To reduce wear.

[@forexguy]

Hello Mr. Morris, Sir. Daft thought . . . because of what is in my ytube 'feed'. I'd love to watch you build an Adrian Sauna. You have plenty of firewood. You would definitely use it on a cowld winters' night. Shur why not . . !

[@peterdooley2393]

I find when I work with small wire rope if you put a bit of electrical solder on the ends your after cutting saves them from fraying.

[@bumpkinrocks]

The GCV engines normally have a fuel tape on the side by the airfilter. If it's auto choke it won't tho. Just put and inline fuel tap that'll negate the need to run it dry.

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

Clean Workshop

[@bobuncle8704]

Good repair. Is that tab on the bottom of the handle a drive lock?

[@user-qg5jz4fv7s]

stick on another insert from the strip connector its shouldn't slip at all used that idea before and it works great

[@Pathoian]

Same problem with the B&S motor on a ride on mower, gas overflows from the carb and makes it's way into the sump via the head if the solenoid valve is faulty, Solution is to remove and blank off the solenoid and turn the fuel line stop valve off and let engine run out of fuel to stop it when you have finished using it. Talking of ride on mowers would a snow plough blade fitted to the mower work as a back-up if your Honda scrapper breaks down again ?

[@Imtheman1977]

Would the quad push in the silage if you put a blade on it?

[@lenny2137]

I would love if you could do a chat/talk in a video and farming on a small acreage….. I’ve 37 acres I’ve been leasing out for the last 5 years but I inherited my grandparents house and we are moving into it. Could you make a living with cattle on 37 acres??? Or just keep it as it is a lease it to another farmer? I would love your advice

[@davidpowell4601]

I got a kick out of those wheels you have on your compressor! Couldn't find any smaller ones? Love the content, keep the great videos coming!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

There the stability wheels of my girls bicycle 😂 work a treat

[@vxnova1]

Very similar to a snowblower, just replace the blower part with a blade,

[@jix177]

Great repair / upgrade!

[@kevincoogan3518]

If the sprocket on the timing chain is plastic the fuel reacts with the teeth and rots them, this happened to me on a Aprilia scooter.

[@patrickkickham3393]

The fuel in the oil is usually from the carb and the float hight being incorrect. It floods the combustion chamber and leaks by into the sump. Just my experience and someone else might have an idea but had it with a honda engine

[@colmmccabe2293]

Have seen it happen when the machine gets too hot the fuel runs into the engine Oil as a result of ware too

[@russelljohnson4847]

Surely you could adapt an old rotavator into one Adrian.

[@seamusgargan5567]

Your petrol problem seems to be the needle valve in the carburettor not sealing and petrol float chamber over flowing down into the sump, common problem.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes the needle would be the first thing to go for, on the first engine I replaced the needle then a few months later the entire carb, still made no difference! The fuel has to be making its way down into the crank case from the breeder pipe. The new engine is a slightly different model but still uses the very same carb. Honda dealership took it all apart and couldn’t solve it either. Will probably end up putting a B&S engine in it one day

[@seamusgargan5567]

Just wondering where the breather pipe is located ,it's usually from the filter box to the crank where there should be no petrol .Have done several of them where petrol was leaking down into the sump and it only takes a little debris on the needle seat to cause the leak , so a shut off valve is another option.

[@irishfarmer.1110]

Will the Massey fit in the work shop because there seems to be a problem with them every second week and u will hurt your knees doing them on the concrete

Pretty sure you could fix anything!

[@TheComander1234]

How come you don't have a small wheel loader of sorts, insted? With a hydraulik turnable blade? I can see a lot of use for something like that on your farm

[@russellpetrie119]

have you watched machinery nation

[@shaelondekok7842]

My theory is if it’s already broken the worst you can do is wreck it more. But you might be able to make something work so just give it a go.

[@thomasmclaughlin2206]

Would you think of putting the scraper on a ride on mower

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I know a few people that’s done that, it would be a bit awkward in our sheds and tight spaces I think

[@dyl5518]

Moisture getting in thrrough the carb an maken its way to the oil makes it grey . Be alright drive it on 😅 . Briggs and stratton old 12hp lawnmower engine i finds them in ditchs , clean carb out and will fire up no bother

[@darrenfarrell-bn2cb]

3 in 1 Oil for Cables End Of.

[@markallen9208]

Just a thought, if the cable diameter is around 1.5mm, then standard cycle brake cable inners and outers could work - you can get these in lengths of unto around 3 mtrs and then come with a fixed end, so the terminal block wouldn't be needed - love the videos by the way 😀😀

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

I’m thinking Adrian might be better not only with cycle cable, but well designed cycle brake levers as well. I had a similar problem with a throttle set up on my Sawmill.

[@evertonshorts9376]

That yoke is a bit of a ball breaker.

Just wondering what do you think of de government what to ban de dribble bars on slurry tankers

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It’ll be another year before I have this dribble bar payed for, a lot of money it cost us. So if they ban them after forcing me to buy one i’ll use away at it and pay no attention. But you can add a shoe to the ends of the pipes easy enough. At the end of the day someone is getting great sales from all this

[@knightrideruk]

Get yourself two bicycle brake levers.
