[@saskcanada94]

JUST WONDERING WE LIKE IF YOU GUYS WOULD SAY THE DATE OF THE VIDEO

[@Jenstyler1]

yeah seems this video was started before you guys redid the pins and bearings in the other bud tractor

[@WelkerFarms]

This video was filmed on-and-off throughout the last few months. We're constantly switching between projects due to shipping delays for tractor parts. As soon as a project is finished, we gather all the footage and upload a video. The end of the video is closer to where we're at currently.

Great great video, leg arms nailed it on the head, wish there was more people like you guys in the world.

[@karlheinz4761]

I do not know how you usually operate the lathe but from what I'm seeing you could increase almost all the cutting parameters to have a saver operation. I work as a Machinist and what I've learned is that most carbide tools need more rpms than one might think. When I was new tools would wear out quickly because I was too careful. Also deeper cuts or higher feed rates coul help break your chips in to smaller pieces and you don't end up with those dangerous strings of metal flinging around. I love that you taught yourself how to use the lathe, keep on going an habe fun.

[@WelkerFarms]

Appreciate the advice! Will try this next time 👌

[@c4stockdogs24]

I love how easy going you all seem . . . your Dad always approaches these major issues with an even keel. We always swore and threw tools :).

[@caesar1295]

Scott I worked on Liebherr, Wolff, Potain, Piener Tower Cranes for 32 years and we had several Luffing jib cranes that the connection of the turntable to the main jib/boom pivots the pins would not come out during dismantling of cranes so we called the manufacturer Liebherr in Germany asking if we could lance the pins out and the engineer sent us all the information about fettering and what caused it to seize the pin. He explained we had to lance the pin because the pin had basically welded itself to joint because of micro vibration between the parts while in use. The repair to the connection was a sleeve installed out of a brass sleeve mixture with another type of metal I can’t remember but it was a fascinating thing to see and after that the connection never seized up again. The same thing happened 15 years before on a Potain tower crane and they had us to just cut the connection away from the turntable disconnecting the jib/boom away from turntable, lancing the pin out was much faster and less work repairing both cranes. Even keeping grease in the connection didn’t stop the fettering from seizing the connections. Forgot this part we beat on the pins with 20lb sledgehammer’s and tried port a powers and also heating the connection for about a day and a half before calling the engineers in Germany and explaining the pins will not move while a expensive erection crane was holding onto the jib/boom and it still took over two days to get the jib/boom separated from the turntable. Great video Scott and a lot of work what was the total hours to complete this job?

[@garyflint1793]

When I first came across Welker Farms, Scott was repairing machinery and those videos invariably involved the Lathe. I loved those and I was impressed with his abilities to fix stuff! Stay safe Scott!

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Welkers!!!! It was most interesting and informative and enjoyable. Special thanks to the experienced mechanic you hired to help with the big bud repairs. He is very knowledgeable on what he is doing. Scott you were great cutting that metal cylinder down to work as a tool to install items in the big bud. Great going Scott. Amazing work. The mechanic appreciates the help you are providing. That is a huge engine to work. Need to know what is what with it. Guess there is a part two to this episode of big bud repairs. Looking forward to seeing part two. Scott thank for your motivation talk. It was outstanding. You did great. Thanks for everything Welkers and mechanic Brent. It was great video. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. May god watch over you all.

[@waynebohannon]

Scott, great motivational talk! For many years of my life, the only encouragement that I received was the pep talk that I would give myself and that encouragement came from my faith in Christ that I knew walked with me when I was walking alone. So-o, remember, a smile, a kind word, a helping hand and look for the successes in yours and others lives that you can point out to be what you think is a tiny encouragement, but to them may be the boost to lift them to new and better levels of personal achievement! I remember reading an advice columnist that said that we all have tattooed on our chest, " I am important"! We just need to know that we believe that! I hope that you all have a great crop this year, along with great prices! An 83 year old farm boy that did not accomplish his dream down in East Tennessee, but God is Good!

Fretting Corrosion: You hit on the correct cause with your comment about metal on metal. Two different metal types need a non-metal product (like rubber gaskets, moly-lube, PTFE or MO2 solid film lube) between the two metal items to slow down the damaging effects of corrosion

I have worked in the Cummins Engine plant where many of these engines were manufactured. I was always amazed with the manufacturing process but I think I have even more respect for the manufacturing engineers & assemblers.

Your lathe work reminds me of my father working at his lathe in Saskatoon. I have lots of memories of him standing at his lathe. I have told you of him building his first machine with Uncle Em to roll out the Flexi-Coil Land Packer. That is why I appreciate the work that you all put into your Big Buds. You are very methodical in how you take machines and engines apart. Your family is very patient with each other. Your channel has much to teach us.

I’ve replaced many of the gaskets, good thing is the newer gaskets are made of better material. Lots of room in the Big Bud, not so much in a cab over Ford . Although you can change only the water jacket o rings on the leaking ones I always changed all of them as they are probably deteriated as well. You’re lucky to have an older mechanic to help you, we’re part of a dying breed. Love that you have a lathe to be able to make the drivers you need. Cheers my friend.

[@died4us590]

Nick, that little guy was so funny when he said, "I thought that was a good idea but it wasn't." I guess being yanked out by a chain hooked to a car might be just a bit to much for a little guy. Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry when fixing your own equipment, especially when one tooth off could be catastrophic. I liked Brian, because checking for any worn parts that could fail while he's already in there is better than paying him to come back and take it apart again, or having the engine blow up. I know what you are saying Scott, because i push myself everyday through a lot of pain to get up and keep moving. I have progressive MS that is causing muscle wasting on my entire left side, which causes numbness and weakness. My Dr. said i needed to be active to slow the progression down. I get frustrated at time's, because my left arm had always been my dominate side. I had to learn to write right handed, along with everything else. Working on anything is difficult, especially if i need two hands, because i can barely feel my left hand. Just yesterday i needed to hold a wrench on one side of the jeep i was working on, and a ratchet on the outside, took me many trys, but i did it. I may take a lot more time to do something than i used to, but i still push myself. I have memory issue's because of brain volume loss from the MS, and it gets frustrating at time's, but i pray about it, and read Scripture to calm my fears, and to accept the challenges i face. I do not ever want to be in a wheelchair, so i just keep as active as i can, when i can. I don't let my disabilities define me, because i know that i am still me, and that my weaknesses have made my faith stronger, which sustains me, and allows me to help other's. G-d bless you Welker's and family.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Appreciate your story and your determination to push on through adverseries. We pray Gods grace with mercy brings healing.

[@died4us590]

@RobertWelkerFarmerBobthank you, i find your family to be insperational with all you share with people you don't know. I appreciate your prayers, because i don't have much family left, and i believe that prayer does help other's. I have always kept your family in my prayers during hard time's of crop loss, and prayed for Scott when his arm was injured, because i had a bad work injury that caused me a lot of problems now, because worker's comp thought i was lying about my injuries because i wasn't crying or flipping out. I worked for nine month's through fall and winter in the cemetery that i ran for ten year's. They finally did an mri, and my ACL was torn off the bone, i then had to do physical therapy for that, but still had horrible pain in my ankle and right leg, and back. I was sent to an ankle surgeon who took an x-ray higher up my leg, and was shocked that my outer leg bone had broken and healed together in a cross shape with pointed ends that could have caused a blood clot. I had to have my leg rebroke, plated, and my ankle bones screwed together to heal the dead cartilage they cut out, and to heal the stretched out ligaments. The really interesting thing about the whole ordeal, was the PT worker who worked with me after the accident, and had me come in and do physical therapy for six month's. She left the comp office and transferred to the practice of my ankle surgeon. The first thing she did was tell me how sorry she was, and that if she ever saw me again she would never doubt me. I forgave her right away, because i knew that there are so many people who cheat the system, that they question everyone. I always figured that maybe i went through that because there are a lot of people who really do have injuries but are being judged. Had i gotten treatment right away, i wouldn't have as much trouble right now. I really was affected when Scott was hurt, because i was injured by getting pinned between a backhoe, and a stack of granite memorial bases. I literally had a sick feeling watching the video that showed the accident. I prayed for him, because i knew that with that kind of damage there can be permanent nerve damage, and complications. I was so glad that he didn't lose the use of his hand and arm. Sorry to go on for so long, but i just wanted share my experience from 2010, and why seeing Scott get hurt like that really worried me, and how much respect i have for the thing's ha has shared about himself, and that there are people who appreciate his honesty, and the struggles he has gone through in his life, and being confident enough to share his struggles at a time when there are people on youtube who can be very cruel and judgmental. Both Scott and Nick are such good dad's and husband's, role models for a society where multiple marriages are so common. You are such a good role model as well, and it show's through how well you raised your kid's. G-d bless your family, and the furry friend's.

Fun fact: MTU fast running diesel engines for ships and generators and trains are built modular. Every cylinder has its own housing and head. Mechanics simply disconnect the rod from the crank and then lift the whole cylinder unit out. Pretty nifty design for big diesel engines. ✌️ Btw: these MTU egines are a little big bigger. The largest 8000 series has 20 cylinders, 348 litres (21200 cui), 13400 hp at 1150 rpm and weighs a mere 52 tons. 😁

I worked for a Cummins distributor and worked on a lot of K series engines. As far as you had it apart and you have a hoist and could hold engine up, I would have remove the rear pan and lower spacer plate so you could have installed a complete gasket without splicing in the gasket on the bottom of the block.
