And happy new year! happy new year! to all of you in Montana

[@SemiErnie]

@@WelkerFarms thank you and Happy New Year's to the whole Welker family

[@michaeljordan2852]

I'm pretty sure you guys could put a vintage air system up under the new dash for heat and ac you should check them out

[@ernestpound9013]

Happy New Year!

[@wornoutwrench8128]

I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic, 49 years in the trade. The reason that Welker Farms is one of my favorite farming channels to watch is because of how you do things. Like this project. Instead of buying a brand new piece of equipment and having all the modern issues (and mortgage) you take an old abandoned piece of junk and will turn it into exactly what you want and need. Love it. Scott, One of my very best friends is dyslectic. He is one of the best mechanics I know. Manuals can give him a hard time but he really doesn't need them anyway, he can usually figure it out buy himself.

[@gregcatlett1458]

COLBY an GRAND KIDS do need their room !!! Good to see Tony and you wearing his gear Nick. I wish I was as handicapped as you Mr Legarms🙏🙏🙏🤫. Thanks to all the WELKERS. 2025 🎉🎉

[@barryforan9075]

Well said. I also love it.

[@murraygeeraert500]

Welker gents, I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for you 3, you have taught yourselves how to not only work hard, but your mechanical abilities are truly awesome, good job guys, I love watching your big bud rebuild

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

How awesome it was for Legarms to open up and encourage maybe another person that was thinking they could not do anything. Like he said apply yourself and work toward your goal and it will come to you . Not easy but then if it was easy you would not appreaciate it as muh. Way to go Legarms.

[@carysmith9039]

Well said 👍👍👍👍

[@codyshort9846]

Very well said 👍

[@jmazoso]

Leg arms is a wise man.

[@revert2625]

There’s a vast difference between “smart” and intelligent! The government is living proof of that!

[@karljacobson1575]

He has common sense and is applying himself to mechanical tasks that a lot of people couldn’t ever figure out. Those skills are priceless IMO.

[@motor2of7]

I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Scott at one of the farm shows. He’s one of those guys you immediately know is genuine, honest and someone you’d like to call a friend.

[@scottmcd5885]

Scott, After half of a century of being dyslexic I have finally started to learn how to articulate what goes on in my head. My wife gave me a shirt it reads " if Scott can't fix it we're screwed!". Most people learn well in a classroom. Yours is that shop! Through trial and error you have learned the tools of the trade. My family is the same way as yours... We could buy new and be out a butt load of money or buy used and fix it to maybe not like new but definitely usable condition. For us it's easier to look at something and build it in our head. I even find myself building it in my dreams over and over again until I wake up with how I'm going to do it. Don't ask me to explain just be quiet and let me do it before I think of something else. Who needs college. You've already earned what my grandfather called a farm engineering degree!

[@timothybailey7118]

Best project on KZbin!!! Blacksmithery. Heavy Equipment mechanics. And cross-fit man handling heavy parts and tires. Appreciate Bobs sense of style trying to preserve the original looks.

[@BobLee-o6j]

Hey Scott, Thanks for talking about your dyslexic problem. It's a great testimony to those families struggling with Dyslexic children. I will be sharing this video with some others with this "problem." I am looking forward this winter to seeing your progress on the Big Bud. Just be careful not to drop anything on your arm, or your leg, or your foot!!

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

Thank you LegArms. You remind me of a younger version of my neighbor Kenny. He didn’t go past 8 th grade in school but he can repair or make anything that needs done to farm machinery. I had a tractor fire and the wiring harness was gone and would have needed to be custom made and expensive. The insurance company totaled the tractor. He was smiling and said let’s get to hardware store and get supplies. 130 dollars in supplies and 8 hours of both of us working on it. He had it back running. Granted it’s not perfect but he saved it from going to the scrap yard and I got my tractor back. I’ve learned so much from him and his motto is you won’t know until you try. 😊. The other thing is when he gets stumped or frustrated. He takes 20 minutes to have a cup of coffee and clears his mind. Then comes back to it with a different perspective. It’s crazy how he always figures it out. One of most intelligent people I’ve ever met. I know you and him would be good friends 😊

[@leddielive]

Totally agree. Intelligence is not always measured by pen & paper at exam time, it just means you're good at taking exams. Lateral thinking & good common sense will always get you through. 😀

[@tomboustead7588]

I love when Tony Fast randomly stops by to say hi and helps

[@robertshaver6410]

Scott those of us that are dyslexic are usually blessed with the ability to do thing's with our hands we seem to understand how things work intuitively we may not be good with book work but things we do with our hands come easy

[@Berne2830]

If someone had said to me this is what we are planning on doing to an old Bud exactly like you are doing, i would be in a fetal sobbing in the corner of the workshop 🤣🤣🤣🤣 unbelievable what you all take on

[@Hook-set_Outdoors]

I love the Scott talks, they' are so real and genuine.

[@tystahl3961]

Scott, do not apologize for not knowing the correct terms. You have a skillset that even I wish I could possess. Like you, I am constantly learning and PRACTICING whatever I have learned. Like you, most of my skills were learned on the farm.

[@ThomasDarling-yn9ol]

You are a good example to many people Scott. Intelligent people don’t like making mistakes. The rest of the people learn from their mistakes and become smarter. I truly hope the best for you and your family in this new year.

[@erictrace]

I love how you all work together and Scott, you don’t have to have a bunch of alphabets to be considered smart. There is book smart and Life smart, I find Life Smarts has its place just as much as the other!

[@gordonmackinnon8838]

leg arms you are one hell of a smart guy and that is that .

[@terryreust1277]

Scott You are a very humble man that pushes everyone to strive to go beyond their comfort zone. Your a amazing person...😊

[@leddielive]

Hi Scott, if we were living in medieval times nobody would be surprised to find you working at a forge in some blacksmiths workshop somewhere, getting things done. 🦵💪's we love you. ❤️

[@TheMrJackpinesavage]

As a 30 year heavy equipment mechanic that also hasn't gone to collage I totally agree with you and love the project

[@chappes53]

Scott, I think all 3 of you are very smart. The way you make/modify items to accomplish your task is really impressive. I really like watching you guys build/repair things. You all work very hard from what I have observed. Keep making videos! Happy New Year!!! And I hope 2025 is very good for you.

[@pollcrazy]

Wisdom comes from experience , experience comes from mistakes

[@kenc1800]

Totally agree with Scott! I taught Horticulture for 25 years in Michigan and New York! Applied knowledge by “learning from doing” hands-on skills and learning from your mistakes is what makes students SMART, CONFIDENT and valuable employees and business owners. Not everyone requires a college degree or naturally smart.

[@butchmcgregorb1203]

Blessing to you folks

[@meandthemrs7403]

Hey Scott. I was told forty years ago, when I was starting in the tool and die trade, "Any man can run a good machine. But it takes a good man to run a bad machine" You do a good job with the machines that you have. Keep it up.

[@greggb1416]

Scott…, you are smart, intelligent, experienced, wise, and a myriad of other things, that my 61yrs young brain can’t recall. I think those mounting plates are some works of art…, so there you go, you’re an artist as well. Lovin this rebuild series. P.S., Those 2 other guys (dad & Nick), you are working with are “gems” as well…

[@jasonnichols70]

Respect to Legarms for having dislexia and being able to figure out what needs to be done to get the job done.He’s a lot smarter than most people.

[@crazydutchbloke]

I got dyslexia and one of the positive side effects of dyslexia is that most of us can thinking in 3d. Ones i see something wrong or broke a solution/fix is already in my head, No need to put it on paper just leave me alone so i can put myself to it.

[@BR-bj3ot]

Scott, you nor anyone in your wonderful family needs to explain anything. You are amazing people. God fearing, Christ believing, Americans! God bless you and yours!

[@billwhitman1529]

Scott, I am a older farmer in the Midwest and every time I hear you speak about your difficulties with dyslexia as well as your honest, down to earth faith in God, I am humbled. God has so blessed you with skills that put most to shame, despite the dyslexia which I will attribute to your faith. May God Bless you and your family.

[@kevinkrempely2335]

Leg arms, no excuses are necessary! You three guys get the work done of a small army !! Happy new year!

[@hankhazen]

You don't need to apologize for not going to college. You are a great fabricator and mechanic. I too learned from watching others and trial and error. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year to you and your family

[@zarb88]

colleges now a days are socialist indoctrination camps

[@rvhome5599]

Scott, no need to apologize, you and your family are awesome, the things you do are incredible, even a well educated city slicker will never match up to you guys

[@Ninoy2059]

Knowledge is not measured by level of education. Where were the Colleges back in ancient time to teach people how to start civilizations? As long as you are doing the job and executing to the best of your ability, that's what it matters. Love your hard work and your dedication to your farm. Job well done.

[@barrywilson4190]

Hats off to Legarms! I had just assumed that he had a degree in mechanical engineering. I have a new understanding and appreciation.

[@robhartshorn6823]

I loved your story Scott. You are too hard on yourself. You are smart, and I think you beat yourself up too much in your head. Be positive with yourself, keep telling yourself that you are smart and that you can figure out stuff because you absolutely can. I love seeing all the projects and hard work you do, it gives me motivation to get my projects done. Be safe you guys!!!

[@barryforan9075]

Agreed. Scott is articulate and way too self deprecating. He is very skilled at fabricating the things that need to be done and is a master at improvisation. No apologies my friend, you and your families are the backbone of our society. Love the channel and all that you do. Stay proud, stay healthy and know that you are loved by a lot of your subscribers.

[@dcole109]

In a family cell like you guys have there are no weaknesses, there are strengths and love and mutual respect. Three men do the work of ten men and are fulfilled in the process. It’s beautiful! God bless you men this new year!!

[@chrisharris4251]

Dude, the hell with what the negative people think or say! I’ve loved watching y’all’s videos since the beginning! Especially how you always seem to know how to work on or fix what seems like ANYTHING. It’s fun to watch!

[@dsumner7]

What you said @11:52 resounded with me and that's the moment I subscribed. I have a hard time coming up with the right word a lot of times, but it doesn't mean I'm less of a person than someone who can. I dropped out of school in the 11th grade and went on to have a successful business. After 35 years I started another career and have been successful as a crop insurance adjuster for 15 years and counting. No one has ever asked me if I had a diploma but I made a promise to my son when he was in the 9th grade, if he graduated I'd get my GED. I'll never forget when he walked off the field getting his diploma he asked me "I have mine, when are you going to get yours"...and I did!

[@rayanderson4119]

My best friend as a kid was dyslexic also. Many kids had called him dumb or stupid. He went to a trade school and is a fine machinist now, Scott, not unlike yourself. You said you weren’t smart, but I would say you may not have been book-smart, but the skills you show, and the fact that you taught yourself those skills, reveals that you are highly intelligent. Intelligence has nothing to do with a certain ability, in this case, reading. I’ve known lots of book-smart people that make you wonder how they ever got a drivers license. Well done, my friend. I’m excited to see how this project moves along. With Nick and Bob on the team, this thing is going to be amazing. Just hurry up! I wanna see this thing! 😊

[@natron8102]

This has to be one of the best projects ever put on youTube and they are doing it themselves and figuring it out how awesome is that. I can not wait to see what these guys will come up with for hydraulic systems and all the electronics. I hope they go completely nuts with it. Keep up the good work guys!

[@Ralph94967]

Scott dont yoiu ever put youself down you know more than a hole lot of folks out their the reason is you aint scared to try and you got the confidence to try it and overcome anything put in your path

[@awesomemopossum7906]

as a mechanic that never feels smart and taught myself everything by trial and error i love watching you work. i’m beyond proud that i learned how to use the wrong tool for the job and it working out! keep it up leg arms! you make us proud!

[@alviney5138]

Scott - thank you for sharing your dyslexia journey - grandson 8 is dealing with it as well and comments and insights like you share are wonderfully helpful and supportive - thank you

[@Anthony-su3ci]

It truly is an absolute privilege to follow along with this journey, and everything else you guys do. Thank you very much for sharing. God Bless

[@Dannyhenge]

Scott, I'm in the same boat. Some people don't realize how lucky they are... and I need to hear that today thank you.

[@ryaneick8864]

You do am incredible job Scott. You all do! Your diligence is an incredibly admirable trait! Thank you for the awesome content. Love watching you guys fix and fabricate.

[@Ericktuin1]

Don't apologize. The school of hard knocks is the best place to learn. You can only get experience one way and that's from doing it. Happy new year.

[@BernardBonG-r3z]

I love watching you guys as it reminds me when I was on the farm. We fixed almost everything and it was exciting and nerve racking. I can remember one day in the evening we were milking. I think I was16 years old at the time and was a scrawny 125 lb of kid with one arm. Anway he told me to go put the cultivator on the tractor. We had an Oliver tractor with Oliver cultivator. The section under the tractor was one piece and weighted about 250+ plus pound and the side units were about 160+ lbs. I said, "who is going to help me". His reply was you go figure it out and just do it. It got done but good golly it was tough. I agree with Legarms about applying yourself 100%. I think you guys are crazy (in a good way) and wish more people were that crazy. Happy New Year and God Bless!

[@paulehlers2225]

Loving this build!! Scott, we could be brothers with different mothers. I learned most of my mechanical skills in the school of hard knocks, fantastic mentors and the internal drive to learn and apply this with a solid work ethic drive. These things serviced me well in the forty plus years of being a diesel mechanic and the same is serving both you & Nick as well. All good stuff. Thanks for sharing your story with us!!!! Happy New Year--Hopefully we'll see this big-bud doing its thing in '25.

[@keitharcher5723]

I do love this project that you guys have going on. I love everything about it; the horsepower, how you sourced the engine and transmission, how industrious it is to do what you're doing, how much money you're saving but still getting a beast of a tractor that will do what needs to be done. Great content!

[@michaelbrown6241]

Just a small tip. Get the standard bolt torque for those Cat bolts from the dealer and tension the bolts to the correct torque. Bolts are rated by the tensile strength of the material but the axle to frame joint is in shear which for the bolt is approx half its tensile strength. To avoid shear failure you use the bolts strength (tension) to generate suffeciant clamp force (friction) so the joint can take shear force without putting the bolt in shear. Keep this in mind for all bolted joints you create and you will achieve fairly robust bolted joints. If the mount starts to yield or flex as the bolt is tensioned it is likely to thin for the joint.

[@kw900lkevin]

concur there is also too tight for bolt/fasteners that will cause them to break even faster

[@roblonsdale8927]

Or create a shoulder that eliminates shear forces on the bolt in the same way a spigot eliminates shear loading on wheel studs

[@JohnCarter-xj6ll]

[@DarenOrme]

Scott, that is the best education there is! Hands on learn by doing. I went to college, but have never learned more than on the farm working on projects. Cant remember much of what I was taught in college... I agree completely that someone may be extremely smart, but unintelligent at the same time. You guys are amazing with what you create. Love your content.

[@RobertLarsen-n2t]

This is going to be one awesome Big Bud when you all are finished Love to watch and listen to all of you thank you for being you 😊

[@phantomphixer679]

Scott, I'm not dyslexic but my brain never shuts off. I have to finally just wear it down each night just to go to sleep. Reading helps and when my eyes start to burn, lights out. I dream every night. 67yrs old. My friends call me their mad scientist. But i fix things. Just like you do. Just go with the gifts you have. Happy New Year to all at Welker Farms

[@apuuc]

Just saying..I could watch this build every day. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see this "new" Bud take it's place in the Welker Bud fleet.

[@robinredman5192]

Scott, you, your family, and folks like Andy Detwiler have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and have succeeded in ways that are inspirational to others. Through you, others see that you can succeed in life with hard work and perseverance. God bless and may you continue to be abundantly blessed. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

[@harveystephens6115]

LegArms you are such an inspiration , smart, common sense and talented especially on mechanical stuff. I could watch yall work on this project 8 hours a day Enjoyed

[@died4us590]

I was really happy to see a new big bud video, you guy's do great winter project's. I agree with Bob, the classic look of the cab is the look for this old work horse, and there aren't a lot of them being used now day's. As long as you are comfortable that's what matters, plus i think the camera makes it look smaller. I like how well you guy's work together, and how each person has their own thing. You didn't get everything in your shop over night, it was through a lot of work, plus each generation has contributed to what you have to run your farm, and to fix your own equipment. I'm nearly 54, and it took me many year's to have all the thing's i have in my little shop. I bought many thing's from estate sales, garage sales, pawn shop's, plus the internet makes even more thing's more attainable. You just have to start somewhere, and keep adding to it. I'm disabled, but i don't let that stop me from working on thing's, it helps to keep me out of a wheel chair. I will attempt to fix or build anything, because i don't have anyone to help me, and i can't afford to have thing's repaired, so i just figure stuff out. Leg Arm's was right about not being afraid to try doing thing's you've never done, and not letting a disability get in your way. G-d bless, and happy new year.

[@robertquast9684]

Some people find it easy to work with numbers some find it easy work with your hands. There is room in the world for both. I have met “smart” people that couldn’t check their own engine oil. I have also known guys that would be labeled as less than intelligent that could rebuild a motor with their eyes closed with a pile of parts taken apart by another person. As a farmer/fabricator I enjoy the videos

[@JeffAndrews-n6d]

Scott , you are always an inspiration to others

[@johnrodgers7633]

You remind me of a farmer friend of mine. He hated hauling manure from the dairy cows he had so he built a tandem dual wheeled super spreader with a Huge Box, extra heavy duty apron chain and upright homemade beaters and hydraulic slop gate in the mid 70's I se the spreader companies are making now 50 years later. Junior college mechanics and fam finance associates degree. Built his entire house, and several custom pieces of homebuilt machinery. Hometown genius I'm proud to call my friend. Go Legarms! You can do it!

[@bobstratton6362]

LegArms, i totally understand where you are coming from. I’m not dyslexic but grew up on a farm and my parents could not afford for us to go to college. So I have been on a life long education program digging for answers and often learning the hard way and then discovering better ways. My thirst to learn has increased the older I get. I used to hate to read. Now I can get enough. The one thing you can’t get a degree in is common sense. Keep those videos coming. It’s like I get to help.

[@LukeLong-oi4uc]

Personally, I like the idea of keeping it pretty much original looking with the original cab and fenders and such, while also upgrading the power train to make it fit your current demands for power, hydraulics, and comfort. I definitely think it’s a very sound choice as far as financial, maintenance and future component rebuilding. Can’t wait to see it in action in the field. Nice work fellas! 👍🏼 happy new year!

[@jonbowles7480]

Scott. Improvisation is the mother of all invention and you have that down. Don't apologize for having more common sense than a lot of the considered smart people.

[@rickebberson3830]

Please don't say that you aren't smart. Maybe you have to learn things differently than some, but you still learned and are still learning. You are to be commended for not quitting. I had to teach my son a different way to do basic math, when he got it he was unstoppable

[@earboit5145]

As another guy said in the comments you could use an annular cutter to cut the cab mount holes. It would make the job a whole lot easier and faster. Through Amazon or eBay you can purchase Morse taper tool holders that accept Weldon type annular cutters. I’ve purchased this myself for my milling machine and it’s been amazing. I purchased a few of the common size drills (annular cutters) The beauty is they are much like a hole saw that only cuts the outside of the hole. Even if you couldn’t get the exact size that you needed you could still use the boring attachment to finish the hole to the correct diameter. Hope this helps Happy New Year from Australia 🦘

[@michaelcravens4023]

Love watching you guys build things- I have a suggestion for a special episode and that would be " Legarms Fabrication" , I know Bob and Nick do things as well but it seems that the tough builds fall on Legarms. I have done lots of thing in my lifetime and I would take 10 Legarms asking for a whatchamacallit or thingofamajig versus 1 college boy brainiac. Common sense goes much farther and in my book gets more respect for REAL LIFE issue solving. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more for the three of you. PS suggest watching Cutting Edge Engineering yt channel on tips and tricks of machining !

[@badgerpa9]

Happy New Year to the Welker family, those on and off the camera. Stay safe and healthy.

[@anthonykaeb7717]

You guys should check out Fehr cab in Fairbury IL and see if they could make your cab panels/soundproofing. They make inserts and kits for just about everything and I’m sure they could do some custom stuff too!

This is so exciting lov watching the progress of this new Big Bud .... Happy New year to you and all your family .. God Bless

[@repalmore]

Part of the reason you can afford a nice shop and tools is you make things like the frankenmower and the sprayer that looks a little like a big bud and you reuse an old GMC for a sead truck instead of buy new or newer equipment. Honestly, Robert has so many mad skills that it makes all this possible.

[@brianm9467]

Leg arms from one dyslexic to another your way smarter than you give yourself credit. Smarter than me for sure and I hold two Masters degrees. I watch the videos to learn something about fabrication or fixing things. It has helped me when working on various snowmobiles, tractors, motorcycles and everything else. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the fact you are dyslexic. I know I don't share that I am dyslexic much. I hid the fact I was for a long time at college and I only shared it with a few professors.

A very Happy New Year to you all as well as your families. I hope the coming year brings you all your hopes, all your dreams and all your wishes. You all are gifted and skilled. If I could have a wish concerning you and your farmily it would be the following; - Scott needs to accept himself for himself and stops feeling like he has to keep apologizing for things because he does not know or use correct term etc. We see the part we can work it out ourselves.. - Scott believe in yourself, in your abilities. You are an amazing young man who has achieved so much, and has learnt so much. Accept that as a gift given to you and use it to the best of your ability - Scott Never ever say sorry for being yourself, never feel you are worth less because of your condition. Who cares we all know you have it but that does not define you, you do that yourself!!. What we all care about is you as a person. Over the years you as a family have been doing these videos, we have cried with you, we have laughed with you, we have danced with you. But, at no time have we ever considered leaving you!!!! You have a kind, very gifted, a caring heart and soul and it shows in everything you do. That is why your family loves you and that is why we all love you. Not for your condition, not for what you can do. But, simply by you being you. If you try all the above and although I have said it for Scott in particular (mainly because he kept putting himself down in the video and always apologizing about himself and it made me sad as not necessary or needed) it could easily apply to you all. Then. I will feel happy and contented.

For cutting out the holes you could use a hole saw on your mill and then use the boring head. It is allso advisable to put gussets under the engine and gearbox mounts to prevent them frol ripping of.
