Green Paint Was Too Expensive

[@bobbolieu9013]

Congratulations on being in the Offroad Games, and being teamed up with Rory. I have heard more than a few people talk about his Spotting skills. He is a very good Rock Crawler also. He looks a bit rough, he talks kind of laid back, and he is one big dude. One thing, he is very safe. He will look out for you. Do what he tells you, when he tells you, and how he tells you, and he can guide you through some obstacles that you would never think that you could do. I think that you all will have a blast. Rory and his crew are a hoot.

[@stevetouchstone882]

👍will be rooting for you at Off Road Games. Rory, from Trailmater, is another of my favorite KZbinrs. He recently announced you were going to be teaming up with him and driving his buggy.

[@fidlybitz]

I'm going to give a HUGE two thumbs up with everyone else who has said well done for pairing up with Rory for the offroad games. He is an absolute pro at driving and spotting and I'm sure he will teach you so much about what they do. I'm crossing my fingers,toes and everything else for you and Rory at the games. GOOD LUCK.

[@hugeblue]

2/2/24 -Great painting job! Things look brand new! Thanks for taking us along. Chas.,SC

[@tdlucas5126]

Congrats on getting paired up with Rory, seems to be a GOOD dude! Also, his buggy is GREEN!

[@Meatmoe]

Nice job on the equipment! Last fall I disassembled my rusty 12 ton machine press, built new legs out of angle iron for it, prepped it, then painted it Alison-Chalmers orange. I started with Rust-Oleum Farm & Equipment spray cans but eventually got tired of having to do so many coats, so I switched to using an inexpensive HF spray gun with the same paint, but from a lidded can and also thinned down a little. It went incredibly quicker! Have fun in the Off Road Games.

[@michaelwilliams7481]

What a transformation, at the end of the day if you restore old equipment, look at the money you have saved. Love from Mike. ❤

[@rackets001]

10:50 Just made the drive to UT and back from Houston this week for my dad's funeral. 23 hours & 1,500 miles each way. Glad it's behind us now!

[@juicey70jg]

Can't wait to see how you get on in Utah Laura - two of my favourite channels collaborating, cool ! Love to see you, Grant and Derek from Vice Grip Garage work together sometime too 😊👍

[@jamessue8358]

Thanks!

[@asmrhead1560]

Need some big vinyl stick-on decals with the Laura Farms logo to go where the manufacturer logos used to be!

[@bradolsen8629]

Hey everybody, Laura Farms just hit 100,000 subscribers. Congratulations Laura you sweet girl.

[@hunter-jt6mx]

I heard that you were going to be driving with Trail Mater on the off-road wrecker games. That’s gonna be awesome to watch.

[@dougbowen4685]

Just what I was jumping on here to say. That’s going to be an interesting pairing.

[@hunter-jt6mx]

Yes it is

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

I watch most of the folks who will be there. I’m happy to know Laura is teamed up with Rory. I think, instead of Trail Mater, Laura will be driving one of the buggies in the competition. Whatever it turns out to be, it will be a blast to watch the competition!

[@agentcrm]

@@jimmyjenkins9240 Rory is Trail Mater. His main off road wrecker and youtube channel is called Trail Mater.

[@AlexInAuburn]

Rory is a really great offroader and spotter, so Laura will have a great opportunity to do really well in the competition. Just remember to listen to Rory and do exactly what he suggests.

[@Sailor376also]

My brother-in-law and my sister owned a 1938 John Deere B, hand flywheel start. It was called affectionately "Big Pink". Because the day we went for paint to stave off age and rust,, in the 'miss tints' shelf was a one gallon can of Rustoleum oil base,,, for one dollar. Just a buck. And as pink as a 14 years old pink lipstick. It was perfect. Probably still running, probably still pink.

Parabéns família ficaram ótimas com a pintura Nova.

[@TheRobertlonski]

Laura -, you SCORED BIG-TIME, you may have the best mentor participating the off-road games, Rory is a SUPERSTAR off-roader, a total NO BS type of guy and a great mentor. I am looking forward to seeing how you do!

[@brapperdan9554]

Trust whatever Rory tells you to do is exactly what you should be doing in his buggy. He is the most skilled rock crawler driver I’ve ever seen…ever. You won on that pairing for sure. Can’t wait 🎉

[@stevendorsey4882]

Great job on cleaning up and repainting the equipment. One of the best practices on a farm is get the most life out of equipment as possible, and just cleaning up, removing rust, and repainting can go a long way to extending equipment life span, not to mention improving farm aesthetics!

[@v1rotait23]

Hi Laura, Grant & Gage, that was a fun brightly colored painting episode. Your smile Laura, as always, brightens up my day! Nice to see the sun shining in Nebraska and the snow melting into the ground. Cheers from a coolish summer in New Zealand, David 😀

[@FunteX]

Looking good you two . . . 👍

[@jeffcarwile565]

Great job on the equipment rehabs. Looking forward to seeing them used in the future.

[@maxscriptguru]

It would be interesting to see how that farm equipment would look after sandblasting the old paint off. But anyways the new paint makes the tools look great. Love the wide open spaces you have there in the Midwest. Here in the Rocky Mountains I have an 11000 foot mountain blocking the sunrise. As a result sunrise is an hour or so later than normal.

[@rexschimmer7394]

Laura, Great to see how every thing is on your farm , it is close to the area that I was raised. My dad farmed three 80 acre fields that are right at the junction of old 281 and Hwy 34, the "new" Costco store is on half of one of them. It was a great place to grow up and farming really taught me what real work is as you so well show. People don't understand that a farmer bets most of what he has every spring when you put in the crops. Bad spring weather can ruin everything, which I don't have to tell you. I think that your place is near Marquette a place that I have had many good meals at the "I don't Care" restaurant there when I was turkey hunting on Bushes island. Love the area and your presentations on KZbin. Rex Schimmer

[@davemason2066]

Great restoration projects Laura! Impressed with all your restoration and painting! I really like the red!

[@DaBinChe]

There is this stuff call rust converter/conversion. For light rust, just brush the rust converter on and once dry/cure it bacially becomes a primer so just paint after and good to go.

[@donwilliams3626]

On the farm there are rainy day projects and thankfully the sunshine cooperated to get a serviceable paint job done today. Learning rock crawling skills from one of the best just might give you a new extra curricular activity to occupy your slack time on the farm! Fortunately your planters were all greased and in tip-top shape before you put them in storage last season.

[@ld5714]

Good morning Sunshine! Great to see your happy, smiling face again today. Both pieces came out great with the restoration and paint - look new again. Have a great week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@kityoung8029]

Congrats on getting paired with Rory! He is the BEST spotter and his buggy is beyond capable.

[@LauraFarms]

I am so excited !!!

[@keithalbrecht4785]

Congrats, on matching up with Rory!!! On the offroad games!!!

[@philipfleming3546]

You will enjoy being matched with Rory. You 2 will rock at the games.

[@carltonfaller3986]

Go Team Green. Or is it Gang Green??

[@B4UClose]

You have been teamed up with Rory, the best spotter out there along with a dang great off road driver. You stand a great chance of winning being teamed up with Rory!

[@hisaddle]

It's going to be Epic. Rory and Matt and their folks are great people. I have one of Matt's stickers on the back window of my yellow Jeep.

[@raullasvegas]

Your being directed by Rory. He is a wealth of knowledge for rock crawling. He is really the most knowledgeable. He also has a very capable buggy that you will be driving. Pay attention to Rory, and you will win whatever Matt can toss at you.

[@russellbowman8051]

Thank You L&G for sharing your day with all of us! Love Hearing From You!! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

[@paulg2132]

You can prevent paint from accumulating in the channel of the paint can and running over the edge by punching a few holes in the channel with a nail. The paint will drain back into the can and won't drip over the edge.

[@dennislarson4960]

Great progress on all the new/used equipment. Scraping and brushing is good before repainting... have you ever considered sandblasting to make a really good job of it? It'll get the rust off down to bare metal, then you primer and paint and it will last for decades. I know it's an extra step, but... BTW, the deep red is just fine! 😁

[@tedduke1699]

I really like you are showing how to rescue old equipment that us farmers do everyday.

[@brendanomara339]

Both projects look awesome! Can't wait to see them in use when the weather permits!

[@jjlittle81]

Matt’s off road has some awesome videos. His yellow Moorvair is a very unique piece of equipment.

[@marshallrowley3516]

Have a great time with trailmater at the off road game's 😀

[@KatreenKorneeva-sj9ce]

Grateful for your latest upload, the consistency and quality of your content are commendable.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Congrats on the Matt's Off-Road Games! It's going to be awesome! Even though your not paired with us it will be fun meeting you at the games in March!

[@henkoosterhof5947]

You drew the winning lotary ticket. Rory is one of the best. If you ever have the possibillity do a repair job with him or Eric from bsf. Gona follow this. Live to far away to come to the games.

[@justfindingourway2766]

It's going to be so much fun to watch. Rory is the best spotter going. Laura's going to do wonderful.

[@AlanKing-c2p]

I love seeing Pepper!

[@SanaUllah-jf2wj]

Your hard work is appreciated. Dear❤❤❤

[@bobveal]

Implements look great! Thanks for cleaning up old iron! Love it!

[@samspade7360]

Hey Laura!!! I am so excited that you're teaming up with Rory as the Trailmater Team for the off road games. You couldn't have a better spotter. Good luck for the Games.😄👍👍👍👍👍

[@NeilMaclachlan]

Great painting job.... stay safe...see you on next one

[@danielmercker7369]

About time you get a good color on your farm, nice job restoring your new farm equipment

[@chrissaunders8284]

Thank you for sharing. Y'all seem to enjoy hard work very much. God bless you.

Hi Laura. Wow, you have made a good work, those tools looked like they had just come out of the factory. Have a nice weekend.

[@carlbell9366]

Hi guys been watching your videos for the last couple years and enjoy them greatly. Funny thing I just ran across Matt's off-road and just started following them as well. Keep up the wonderful job you all do.

[@larrydavid1132]

Awesome job guys. 😊🙂😄

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Flies and some sort of flying bugs are somewhat attracted to paint thinner and some resin solvents.

[@perryfisher3373]

A painting tip for farm equipmennt, especially after Gage ruined a pair of gloves. I'm in the middle of tobacco raising country. Scafflod wagons are used extensively. Sponges are excellent for painting the tubing that scafold wagons are built from. they are way cheaper than brushes. Cutting them into 3 or 4 pieces makes them even cheaper. When you are done with the painting project throw them away.

[@jamesborden3323]

Good luck at Matt's Off Road Games. Love your video's .

[@phillipdickinson8557]

That was great Laura Grant and Gage both look almost new thank you for sharing and your time you got some great equipment thank also looks good and well last you just have to take care of it and well last forever

[@bay9876]

Pepper is a good farmcat. Very curious at what everybodies doing and just hangs in there like one of the guys. Good cat and good mouser. If she only knew how to pressure wash.

[@davidboggs7361]

OK did cleaning and grinding the area before welding clean your welding up

[@PaulT-p9g]

Love your channel. Of your going to start restoring stuff, you have a compressor, get a bead blaster. Lol I use one for light rust, everything. Rolled steel wood heater like new.

[@ethank7293]

Looks good you guys hope you guys are going to enjoy them!!👍👍

[@gordbolton27]

Good work! If you enjoy doing that kind of work you may find a head for your power washer that will strip paint & rust. You just have to be careful that it doesn't cut right though!

[@TUBEllaki]

Come ski Levi and see the nature of Rautavaara, it's an experience and a surprising thing when you see nature and its beauty. Welcome from the beautiful land of America,

[@lynnbultman1679]

You might be well served by welding a piece of angle iron to the back, bottom skirt in the brush cutter where it is bent and uneven.

[@fredclose2594]

Laura, Grant, & Gage - the painting looks great on your “new” equipment! 👍

[@darylneal989]

Your new mower takes me back to slashing paddocks with Massey Ferguson's. Had to be quick on the lift controls to avoid decapitating the pheasant mum & chicks. The refurbishing looks great. Looking forward to the new tractors completion.

[@dennislaws5187]

When I operated my Tractor repair restoration shop I used Safety Yellow very often for implements.

[@jimr9250]

Laura, A tip for when painting rims, shove old playing cards between the tire and the back side of the rim. This has saved me tons of time vs trying to get sticky tape in there. 🙂

[@manelson647]

Nice job! And Pepper seemed to enjoy her part in helping you. 😊

[@janneman642]

We have here even more snow falling was -5 celsius,here in Kainuu region FINLAND😐😐

[@KirkDeWitt]

Let me tell you young folks that what you are doing to refurbish older equipment and resurrect it from the junk pike is awesome. It's amazing how much use you can get out of those older pieces of equipment with a little TLC. Looks great!!

[@pauljones5495]

Always looks better with a little paint. Good job to all involved.

[@LostButMakingGoodTime]

When painting wheels, apply a good coat of Vaseline to the sidewalls around the rim in the overspray zone. When the paint’s dry… it just all wipes off. 😁

[@martyfrick5754]

I love to see the equipment being taken care of. 👍

[@shawnkane7152]

I have always been able to braid, however. I have always went over. Seeing Laura go under has got me thinking that I have done it wrong in forever. I will try under on my Daughters hair next time. Looking forward to the Wrecked Games! Going to be a lot of Awesome KZbinrs there that I enjoy watching. MORR puts on a great time, it’ll be interesting to see the under knowledgeable drivers taking orders from the pros! Have a Fantastic time! Look forward to seeing the videos!🇺🇸🙏

[@deanc24]

Barn red was my 2nd option. With black wheels - sharp!

[@claudairsocoll]

Wow 😲 it really looks beautiful Laura I take back what I said in the previous video I loved this video it was good to give it a bit of sand beforehand

[@Captain-Max]

I'm amazed how fast the snow and cold temps have vanished. Sure doesn't measure up to the winters i grew up with in northern Minnesota.

[@NavyAirdaleOldTimer]

I Watch Laura because Grants a stud, Which I'm thinking is why Laura snagged onto him. I also watch your dad, he's a piece of work, love his channel. I like it when Grants the Camara guy, he knows ware to point the camara. Bless you Grant and God bless both of you...

[@guybarriault3304]

Good job guys on your painting, really looks great it looks like new equipment.

Looking forward to you and Rory geting together for wheeling in Utah

[@kennethjohannsen4091]

If you are going to do heavy dirt work with the box scraper, it might have been a mistake to cut the box out between the rear tires. In out area that box is usually filled with concrete for weight. Some hang additional weight to make the cutting edge bite a little better. Good Luck

[@lavluvlov]

What a beautifull "Mc Cormick Farmall" red color. Just need the logo !
