Injectors and Steering Bushings, The Fun Never Stops!

[@ejharrop1416]

The look of unabashed joy on Nicks face as the Bud started is priceless. No way to fake that, lol. Thank you, take care and God bless.

It’s good to see you’ve got some snow for spring

This family does a bunch of their own work on the equipment they have and do an excellent job on all of it.

[@grantdubridge7995]

Doesn't everybody?😀

[@oilersridersbluejays]

I farm with pretty much 1980s and 1990s equipment and a smaller farmer here in Saskatchewan. You learn to be a mechanic pretty quick unless it’s a really big and technical job. Profit margins are always tight for farmers no matter the amount of acres, and a mechanic’s bill is something that I really avoid unless absolutely necessary. I literally know no farmers who don’t work on their own equipment that they own outright.

[@FishFind3000]

SO happy for you with what you have done to keep the American farm tradition alive and well.

[@remigagne450]

I just want to take a minute or two to express my appreciation to the Welker family. I just went through a marathon of watching your videos during the last few months and I must say I'm impressed. Starting from a wave board ride on the Welker's lake to conceiving, construction, fixing things, repairing all kinds of stuff. My highlights are, first to a man with his two sons, seeding the grounds, but also family values, that is commendable. I appreciate that there is no challenge to tough to give it a try. Even if you don't have the knowledge as of yet about fixing something, you are always open to getting in more knowledge, and finally, as Bob says, "Anyways, let's do this." I really like Bob's puns to the point I also call him Pun Bob Farm Pants (Just a kind reference to Sponge Bob square pants. Well, Nick is Hollywood and Scott Leg Arms. Bob also needs a nickname). I also really appreciate the collaborations with other KZbinrs. All in all, kudos Welkers! An appreciative farming video watcher up north!

[@WelkerFarms]

Really appreciate your kind comment! This year is full of exciting things to come!

[@Krog12354]

You guys need a bore scope. When you have the injectors out, it would be the perfect time to inspect the cylinder bores.

I just love Mr Welker watching over Nick’s shoulder as he turns that pin. Who do you think taught & nurtured Nick & Scott all the skills they have? They’ll pass those skills on to their kids. Love of family farmers!

[@billhodges5161]

Pray for precipitation for the Welker's. Let's have a better 2023.

[@billwhitman1529]

Okay Scott, you've taken enough of a vacation from the shop. Nick can trip along as a mechanic with dad looking over his shoulder but the pure talent as a mechanic that Scott brings is so valuable to this farm and besides that... we miss seeing his bright and shinning face. Okay, so Scott makes a cameo appearance. Nick, your contribution to the farm in technology and marketing cannot be overlooked. The teamwork on this farm is exactly what it takes to run a successful farm/ranch in this day and age.

Howdy! Holy Cow! When BIG BUD started up it was totally AWESOME! I could smell that wonderful exhaust in my living room! 👍 Bob, you sure move snow FAST! It was fun.... Thank You for taking us along for the ride! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy!

[@danielbremner7805]

I'm really glad that you have snow to push around. Hoping that means alot of moisture in the soil that can be used to make crops grow!

[@paxbonum4683]

That smile on your face Nick when pin was rebuilt and then when it started up... The look of humble pride in a job well done. Amazing effort, knowledge, and knowhow. What a blessing to be able to work on and fix such an iconic piece of equipment to keep it in working order. Great job. Thanks for sharing the project. God bless

11:10 Mebbe the moisture got into the old engine head through the vent that you're harvesting. I'd try looking for rust under the one next to it - it's only three bolts.

Hopefully that snow will put some moisture in the ground. I hope with all the snow out west, Lake Meade fills back up. Thankfully, we are due for an overly wet year. That should help all the farmers.

[@fishin11]

Love your videos! Being a retired mechanic and engine rebuilder, when torquing nuts and bolts ALWAYS have second hand on the head of torque wrench to keep socket with extension straight, and use as short as possible socket, extensions, etc, it DOES make a difference!

[@martini9500]

Kind of like a Bud dentist filling cavities. Nice work.

[@ollie-lk5dx]

It's a really good idea to get the injectors set right. To tight you wreck a injector or break a rocker or bend a rod. To loose and you loose performance.

[@WelkerFarms]

I hear you, doesn't make me sleep well knowing they were not set. I might need to have a mechanic come out and set them.

[@cthulhu8977]

If I recall J-1853 is the tool for setting Detroit injectors. Though last time I set one was around '96 so could be wrong. Shouldn't be too much for the tool, and is just as easy as setting the valves. No need to pay someone.

[@chunkychambers1530]

Who needs a freezer for your bushing when you can just put them outside 😂😂

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

That was a big job. You should be proud of that.

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Use a brass brush from a shotgun cleaning kit to clean the injector holes.

[@WelkerFarms]

That's a great idea.

[@bmw1894]

But brass is harder than copper, so a nylon bristled bottle brush would be best.

[@jeromejacobsen2130]

To paraphrase Hannibal Smith - "I love it when a Big Bud comes together."

Always do the injectors when running the rack,that's the way I was taught on the NTC series

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Bob, good work with the blade on the four by four. You really moved some snow. Of course Toby helped. Good work on the big bud. Nick you are doing great with the injectors. You take your time and do what the book says. Outstanding service work Nick and others that helped. Come spring, that should make a difference on performance of the big bud. Nice work. My compliments to you Nick and Bob for your lathe work and such. You all just hop to it and make or adjust what you need to. Amazing skills you all have. I have never used A lathe so have no idea how to even turn it on-ha. You make it look easy. Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable video. Great work on BigBud. Getting ready for spring. Thanks for everything Welkers. May god watch over you. With my blessings. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@ceciliacicchinelli4797]

No bashing but we use PARKER O LUBE on all o-rings as motor oil will let injector o-rings roll. We also use Lucas additive, Seems to be a heat sink for gears.

[@agentcrm]

You guys need to buy a 4 jaw chuck for your lathe. So you can chuck those pins up accurately and keep them round.

[@sharonmiller4260]

run all those breather tubes to a large catch can like they use in race cars so any blowby wont go allover the engine

[@gerarddavies1344]

You need to buy a dial indicator gauge to set the travel on the injectors. Can make quite a differance to performance.

[@shaelondekok7842]

Next time you build up a pin or something to machine down you should use a stick welder because the metal is softer and better for machining. If you is a mig it should be flux core it works the same. I think you would find it noticeably nicer to work with and lasts arguably longer 👍

[@markreetz1001]

Great video guys. Adjusting valves needs patience. I don't have that. I like the snow plow part!

[@WelkerFarms]

Yes it does!

[@died4us590]

I bought some steel sprayer cans on the jungle site, and you can fill them with wd-40, brake clean, and other chemicals that aren't water based, and then you just use a compressor to pressurise them. They are called sure shot, made in the US, and they also have an aluminum version as well. The price of wd-40, and brake and parts cleaner in the cans has gone up significantly in price, so i buy the big containers, pour them in, add air, and it actually lasts longer as well. Maybe you already have some, but if not, it sure is cheaper. G-d bless you all.
