Nice upload as an ex Plant Operator in the British Army who has experience in servicing large voluminous equipment this brought back some fond memories of being elbow deep in various fluids while stuck down a Servicing Pit for sometimes days on end. I was much happier pulling levers than dropping fluids of course but ultimately the job satisfaction of completing a full service always made it worthwhile. Looking forward to seeing these beauties in action guys. More power to yer elbow as we say in these parts 💪🏼 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Ps We had Terex Equipment also so well used to the sound of a screaming Detroit Diesel first thing of a morning.

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable as always. Very nice toolboxes. Lots of storage for your tools. It is interesting how we collect so many tools to get the job done anymore. Good to reduce the number of toolbox’s you previously had. Nice drawer action and deep drawers. Really good to reorganize after some years I am sure. You all did good. Looks great. The combines. Wow and wow on the number of filters you need to change out everything. Just amazing now days. You spent a day just doing that. This new machinery is nice but wow what it takes to service them. Thanks for showing us the process. Was interesting. Then the headers. Lots of maintenance there also. I can see with your rocky ground. Leg arms doing a great job with the torch and hammer. Nice work. Saves a lot of replacement parts. Takes a lot of time to get ready for harvest. Who ever thought you were have to get oil in 55 gallon drums. Wow. Nick: absolutely super job with your children. You are a good dad. The empty tool shipping boxes turned into play houses for the kids. They were delighted!!!!!!! Super idea dad and mom. They love it!!!!!! You all have been super busy getting machines ready for harvest. Important to do that. Harvest is a busy time. Believe you said the peas are about ready to harvest. Prayers for a good crop production at harvest time. About it for now I guess. Enjoyable watching you all do what needs done with your tools and getting ready for harvest. Teamwork and the Welkers have it that is for sure. My compliments to each of you!!!!!! You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy.

Wonder if you ever cut the filters and open them, (the more important ones) stretch the accordioned media out and check for metallic contamination. Run a magnet across where the vee was in the pleats as that where most contaminant will be trapped and check for the bad stuff. Keep in mind that there may be non ferrous metallic particulates. Ya don't want to see any crud with part #s - -:) At oil changes on my Cessna engine, I check the engine filter for metal.

Nice work - not easy to service those 'monsters' of a combine. I have fond memories of the neighbor picking ear corn with a IH 2 row tractor mounted picker. Farmer James was what he wanted to be called. Sadly his house / farm is long gone. Only memories in my mind now. His acres are covered with houses along with my grandpa's place. Miss riding out with Grandpa and digging horse radish roots. Don't miss the grinding of it though. IF the wind changed when grinding it. You would start to tear up and sometimes cough. But loved eating it. Soon you'll be harvesting the crops not hailed on. Means winter will soon be upon us. Getting my 13 hp snow blower ready. The neighbors love coming home from work. Their driveways done and all they have to do is pull into their garage. The Mail person also likes me. LOL Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe and God Bless.

if you're gonna use a cut down tote like that for the oil you could also fab some baffles from the cut off sides and top of the tote to go into to prevent massive sloshing as you move it around. Hey, and if LegArms wants to paint his nails fancy colors, that's cool too.

A toolbox drawer labeling idea... Buy some 1/2" wide by 15-yd long Roll-N-Cut Flexible Magnetic Tape (available at Amazon, amongst other places). It's magnetic on one side with a sticky back on the other side covered with a white tape. Cut it to consistent lengths of 3-4". However, leave the white sticky side cover in place. You can then write on the white side with a Sharpie, or print out 1/2" wide labels with a label maker and stick them to the white side. This gives you ultimate flexibility on labeling the drawer's contents. It also gives you the ability to change your drawer organization as needed by just moving the magnetic labels from drawer to drawer. You can also put multiple different labels on the same drawer. This system has worked well for me.
