Fixing a dented Auger

[@gavinperry7237]

I enjoy your humour regarding your joke that you don’t know what you are doing about fixing dent in auger when in fact your knowledge regarding repairs is extensive in a very skillful manner.

Andrew is growing up fast. It's noticeable that the little fella is getting bigger. He's a good worker too.

[@christisking7778]

He's a swell lil guy.

[@BigTader]

Andy if I didn't know better i would say that Nathan was your son. I've been watching your videos for several years and it seems like Nathan is your go to employee he's a hard worker and looks like he's a good mechanic. Good help is hard to find in this day and age. Stay safe.🍻🍻

[@jimpolk]

That's pretty ingenious fixing Andy. Nice job.

[@kaldudas9651]

You are adding body work to what has to be done on the farm 👍🚜

[@nickroberge7278]

Nice work! Just a little paintless dent repair. Sounds like the driver owes the shop fridge a case of beer.

I've done this trick before, never fun working on augers in my opinion. For someone that doesn't "know what he's doing", you sure do know what you're doing, don't care what anyone says Andy. Great video as always, cheers :)

[@martinboilard2265]

Hi Andy ! Good job ! Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one Andy Y'all have a HAPPY 4th of July 🇺🇲 🚜🐄👍

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Darn, Andy she's almost better then new....didn't surprise me a bit 👍👍🍻

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

Have a good 4th Andy if you can find time 4 it 😊😊

[@gavinperry7237]

I have been going back & watching some of your older videos & it blows my mind the capital investment in equipment required to spread on the fields the volume of manure your dairy operation produces.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

I knew you had it fixed before you even started working on it. The funny part was! When you said that you didn't have any ideal what you was doing. You had it right from the get go!!!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you Andy 😊😊😊😊

[@fastsetinthewest]

Very impressive family dairy operation. The Hourigan family legacy lives on in documentation. I looked up the late Mrs. Hourigan on Find A Grave. She sure lived a long and profound life.

[@stephensteen9058]

You’re pretty handy there, Mr. farmer good job

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Maybe a good idea to weld on a couple small bolts for studs along the bottom of the auger and use them to bolt in a piece of aluminum reinforcement under the auger to help keep it from being dented again? Happy 4th Andy !

[@tolipydob]

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. 🙂Thanks again for the content Andy.

[@calvinrhoades4406]

In our area a neighbor had a sicours jack . You have to pull the auger, but weld on what diameter pipe you need and go. We have half inch pipe couplet welded to it,and various laughs of pipe to run it from the end. Just a suggestion! Good luck. 😅😅😅😅😅 I

[@x_Dude1]

Neat little trick to pull a dent out. Expected one of those pull hammer thingies.

[@williamgreenway9893]

Your giving away some of your secrets.😂

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I know right

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Andrew is growing like a weed. He is gonna be a brute. Amazing what he.does at his age. Andy your.entire family.all all hard workers. You and Mom have done.great. Betting Charlie is going to be a Dr. :)

[@brucebell1090]

Tell the young viewers how important safety glasses are when stuff under pressure sometimes pops.

[@budfisher6916]

Pretty late now but I expected to see you touching the outside of that dent with a few hammer taps to take out the stress??

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

Unbelievable craftsmanship from someone who doesn't know what they're doing 😂

You finally admitted it on camera !!!!

[@johnhenderson299]

Great repair job guys

[@ibkhansen8036]

you can also use a mirror to see where you have to rate out now you don't have a tool with which to knock it out a stench with a weight that you can pull back and forth

[@arthurlapp9818]

I usually weld a piece of chain to the tube heat it and pull it with a come a long and just leave the link welded on if it's no going to be in the way

[@jayheiman7388]

Good to see Andrew working hard. Looks like he needs a haircut

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Andy nice repair you all have a good day.

[@user-ni8ye9wo8g]

Dang Andy, you could probably get a job at a paint and body shop. 😂😂

[@bobsyouruncle1574]

Odd, I don't see any new bruises on your knuckles. Must've owed that driver a favor.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It happens, not a big deal

[@Chuck-Guyitt]

At 22:40 all I had was visions of the whole bottom melting out.

[@user-ee9eb4he9o]

Can you store corn seed for the next year? Thanks olgoat

[@ryanlesperance7926]

Is the corn you feed before using the stuff in the silo yours? Just curious why you don't feed out the corn in the silo first to avoid spoilage. I suppose if you use the corn in storage you pay less storage. Love the videos!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

You don't find much custom storage for Hi Moisture corn. Andy has it figured out how to extend his supply of the stuff. I'm amazed at the operation.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It’s all good

[@user-yr5ee9vm9e]

It's hotter than coo coo brown down here in Ky

[@joepfeiler5911]

No thought of the day from Nate? or did I miss one?

[@patrickerger7271]

Worked. ❤

[@scotthawkins1538]

I don't know, but I was thinking if you heated around the outside of the fent and in to the middle of it as you tighten it up it may work ??? 🤔🤔 Great video as usual

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Heat is hard to control though

[@jenniferwhite6089]

with the expansion are you buying an other feeder mix to hand the extra cows

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No we have enough of everything

[@janicewilliams6820]

how much time do you spend repairing things your crew breaks?

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Stuff happens, and his crew tries to keep the dumb stuff from happening. The auger was damaged by a contract driver. Pobodies nerfect, but his crew works to prevent damage. 😂

[@janicewilliams6820]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj sooooooo you work on the farm or just assuming?

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@janicewilliams6820 I work on a farm. I have run my own dairy farm. You don't keep people around that screw stuff up, and after watching many of the FFF videos, I can say with 90% odds that the crew is not likely to do stupid stuff. The Hourigan family has hired good people, and have raised good ones that are involved in the operation. Andy specifically said it was a delivery driver that damaged the auger.

[@paulprigge1209]

Thank you happy Fourth of July

2:22 You got nuts? 🤣

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi Andy. Just watched 3 other KZbin channels that i watch. They were in Iowa at a factory tour and Farm testing out the latest from JD. Farming with Zoe did a 2 parter. Laura farms and The millennial farmer all did one video. Ag with Emma and some construction channels covered other equipment. Good stuff coming down the pipeline. Interesting videos. Enjoyed the video .

[@MrTonyharrell]

Couldn’t you cut that dent out, hammer it to shape and weld it back in?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah you could but then you risk hitting the flighting while cutting

[@joeykuiperij4806]

Next time pul it and heat it from the outside in with a Torch flame

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Would heat bend it back?

[@joeykuiperij4806]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating if you heat it from the edge of the dent to the center you pull it back without anny problem sorry language barrier im from the Netherlands

I am glad I wasn’t doing the straightening…. I would have heated the pipe and made a bunch of bubbles

I still have it…. Do you need one?i have a demo unit for sale currently

[@thewayidoit8895]

ANDY. IF you had any experience welding you'd stay away from that little wheel on your hay head. An Amber from your torch could cause a slow leak in it.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It’s a good thing that I ain’t doing any welding with the torches then
