All that talk about doing an 8.3 swap really makes me want to see an "everything wrong with a cummins 555" video.

[@yeahitskimmel]

Now that it has it's own channel, DGHD easily has the highest quality to subscriber ratio on KZbin

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Is that good or bad?

[@ElvicFarms]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE it’s great to see that we’re not the only farmers running equipment 30+ years old. Thank you for all the amazing work you all do. Thank you for teaching us Rich.

[@stewbird]

You need to do an equipment tour of his farm.

[@davidlingenfelter4419]

Yeah that would be awesome!

[@GeFeldz]

Kevin is just such an easy-going dude although he seems like a man on thirty missions at once and with projects and maintenance going on everywhere =)

[@87FordMudder]

The archetypal farmer.

I was going to say, just like our farm lol

[@mattharrell4]

Yeah just listening to him run through the to do list for just this equipment from 19:00-29:00 blew my mind. He’s one guy working through this old beat up piece of equipment and god only knows the countless other things he could be or needs be getting done. I have so much respect for farmers, always have always will.

[@davemetcalfe3388]

Wide-eyed optimists with patience, skill and guts and loads of confidence. Fantastic!!

That’s an insane number of hoses, connectors and wires attached to that bizarre thing ! It’s lucky your pal was born with an optimistic face.

[@rogerleavens625]

The farm projects are my fave

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

For God sake give Kevin a bump, I wanna see him on his 200% thinking. He is insanely creative and just a geterdone' type. Invaluable mechanic this farm has. Good God he's such a beast

[@rhydianedwards3457]

Its fascinating seeing the very different Agricultural Equipment you guys use in North America. The size and scale is mind boggling for someone who grew up around Welsh hill farming

[@patricelebrasseur5649]

Ukrainian grain farmer have huge machine too

[@rhydianedwards3457]

@@patricelebrasseur5649 Years ago I read in a farming magazine about a world record seeding attempt done on the Steppes of the Ukraine with a massive tracked Challenger MT550 with GPS precision steering. Mighty big equipment there!

Ironic they just bought one as well

Kevin needs to feature more, get him on the main channel! "my neighbour rich has a lathe... NO"

[@jamesdt1980]

I love both channels, but enjoy the content of this channel a little more. Thanks for keeping us entertained!

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Something different for sure! Its been a tough year with the kids being home. Trying my hardest to get things done, and so is Kevin.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Kevin certainly deserved that case of beer in my humble opinion. As they say, One man's junk is just another man's treasure. I hope we get to see lots more of kevin the man's a laugh. In a good way.

[@braaapattack2937]

i guess when the motor gives out, we can get an "everything wrong with a 555 cummins" which i wouldnt mind seeing to see what the issues are since its not a well liked motor

[@SchnelleKat]

I think mainly bcuz by the time most people get them in their hands (new owners) the engs are already worn to fck, has 5,000+ hrs on them and beat to crap with barely any servicing... Same goes for the V/VT903. It's really just how you treat them, not really in my opinion the design of the engine.

[@ZekeGraal]

Oh man, I just finished the GMC Detroit episode, I've been loving the Terragator (and anything with Kevin honestly haha), lucky day!

[@CuzznDave]

Where there's a will there's a way. This shows a man can and will get the job done. And save a buck to boot.🤗🤗🤗wtg Kevin.😎

[@simpledj509chromo7]

I ran these machines at my last job. One 80's liquid buggy retrofitted with a spinner box and one early 90's liquid buggy, plus four other newer machines. I don't miss it. We ran our machines harder that anyone else in the PNW due to so much reel ground. And we broke stuff regularly that left AGCO scratching their heads. Between the 9300 and 8300b we could break 3-5 boom pins a year.

[@jimmystuckey1412]

This takes “ help thy neighbor “ to a whole new level

[@northern1937]

Air line is for a clutch on the drive shaft for the chains. Shuts the right side on and off. Probably welded solid so both chains are spinning when turned on.

[@Gabriel-ib8lt]

Love seeing Kevin in videos, thank you for finishing this series.

[@XUncleBossX]

Kevin and Rich are awesome together

[@loganswepston8978]

I've been waiting for an update THANK YOU

All I can say is lads congratulations for rescuing a machine and put it back to work recycling at its best

Finally Deboss Garage has come back to KZbin

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Check your bell and subscriptions. We still post regularly

[@grahamkyle7465]

Been waiting on this one

[@87FordMudder]

That return line on the tilt cylinders will most likely go through a one way load holding valve to control the drop. Also, the other day I saw a terragator that had been modded with what I think was a live bottom gravel box. No idea why someone would do that, but it sure looked interesting.

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

Both skilled men at custom wrk d For sure..really great series on this machine rebuild

[@psygn0sis]

Millennial Farmer's sprayer is all digitized, GPS, spraying metered amounts in specific areas. Keven is more like spray and pray. : P

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

I think he's all in for about 10k. It costs 3-4k a year to get someone in to spread so a few years and he's ahead.

[@autobootpiloot]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE but how much more yield would he have if the spraying is done more precise. And how much expensive fertiliser would he save from less spillage? I’m not a farmer myself but I noticed that farmers with more modern equipment and higher tech usually have more yield and money. At least in the Netherlands they have.

[@fowletm1992]

@@autobootpiloot Differant areas different effects But in general there's little to no yield gain by using new equipment Mostly it's just nicer more convenient more comfortable faster machines Where it'll cost you useing older machines is if they break down at a critical time amd you miss application of an important product And older gear does break down more offern But does it cost you more to when your broken down or does it cost you more to have big loams on new machines Thats for each agriculture area to work out Where I farm in Australia having old harvesters is going to bite you real hard when they fail But having new tractors is a bit pointless cause we're never in a hurry to plant

[@DGHD]

Precision tech advancements in agriculture is phenomenal, so is restoring aging equipment once in a while. Both will save you money where it counts.

[@nathaniellangston5130]

I don't know how you can look at all those hoses and all those wires and those different types of pulleys and feel like you have hope of getting it to work! You are either a mad man or a genius!!

Kevin is good content. Just a super likable dude.

[@northjoe]

Can anybody With farm experience share what this project probably saved him over buying a used one? This was a great series.

[@hahaha12345678993]

the regular DG channel and the world in general needs more kevin

[@LegendsWorkshop]

SAE #20 (1-1/4") the 1-1/4" measurement I believe refers to the I.D of the fitting, not the O.D. of the threads. Also echoing others here saying you and Kevin work well together, love this content keep it up Rich!!

[@LegendsWorkshop]

also the Dickie John/Raven connectors aren't proprietary as far as I can see, once you identify the OEM you should be able to find them on digikey or mouser.

[@shaneherman8906]

R & K (Rich & Kevin) agriculture equipment. Equipment made for the real farmer. No computers, adaptable, easily sourced parts, and best of all, you can work on them yourself after purchase because there is no proprietary diagnostic software that only one service tech in a region has access to. Let's get back to the basics on all truck's and equipment. Really enjoy the videos guys. Good morning from Elberta, Alabama, USA.

[@perotekku]

My grandpa started his own rubber belt company in Winnipeg supplying farmers, retired early, moved to the country, and kept making belts on the side.

SAE -20 is sized by the AN/JIC tubing nut for 1 1/4" tubing, which is 1 5/8" 12 thread. SAE -16 is 1 5/16 12 thread.

The tilt would just use the weight of the arms to drop down. Should work fine sine you don’t really need any down pressure for anything.

[@DGHD]

I enjoy wrenching. Finishing something, anything makes it worth while. Worst part is deadlines, either for peoples equipment or videos. Still worth it though. Thanks for watching!

[@ryanhogan6509]

So those tires are wide enough and low enough pressure, to run over the crop, with out hurting anything??

In the old day on a sprayer yes, but generally this machine runs before the crop is planted.
