Recovering a ABANDONED John Deere. 600 Miles back to Illinois.

[@Sherlock067]

Glad no one was hurt when that let go, whew ! Thanks Wiley for the tag along and nice to see old equipment repurposed!

[@DontbeWily]

Yea. I really didn’t realize how that snap like it did until editing.

[@ronaldwestcott8418]

I liked your o pinion of Hank he was funny some times ,but hay keep up with the good videos with jacob,amen

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and thank you for watching

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

Hey Wily hope your eyes gets better soon man that truck driver done a real good job on getting that skidder loaded up

[@DontbeWily]

He did. Some if this old junk will follow and some will fight you to the bitter end not to get on that trailer.

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Wily, You may want to get a potato or two and squeeze out the potato juice and get an eye dropper to put some drops of the potato juice into your eyes to relieve the burning. You can also cut some potato slices and place the slices of potato directly on your eyes for a while to draw the soreness from your eyes. I was a welder for many years and made a point to knowing how to treat burned eyeballs and how to remove chunks of slag from the eyes. Maybe not approved by many in the medical community, But this knowledge sure helped me more times than I care to admit to.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing that. I trust opinions like yours that has first hand experience in this kind of issue I did cut and put ice potatoes in my eyes but did not know about the juice. I definitely would have done it if i would have known that 1st night was awful Next Day that day was better. 3 rd day i was fine

[@TheIronDuke502]

@@DontbeWily One thing to keep in mind about the cold potato slices is that the slices are supposed to draw out the soreness and by the time that you remove the slices from your eyes that they will get very dark looking. Not sure if that is the reaction with air or maybe your natural eye fluid. At the equipment repair facility where I retired from, We had a Cutmaster 102 Plasma Cutter which required at least a 100 amp service for it to work properly. The plasma cutter always seemed to cause most of my eye burns rather than the welding. Most people including myself let their guard down when cutting. I used a auto darkening helmet which was perfect for the welding side of things, But I always had problems hitting the “Happy Medium” when it came to using the plasma cutter because the helmet would either be way too dark or not dark enough it seemed. The very scary thing was that oftentimes that you wouldn’t realize that you had burned your eyes and when you tried to drive at night, It was awful, Especially meeting oncoming traffic with the super bright LED headlights I really do miss practicing my trade, But absolutely do not miss the burned eyes.

Thank you for that. It worked. I am much better

[@RandyOwnbey-jx3qh]

I think Hank has ruined it by putting the girls on his show. He hasn't had a Wil it start in ages

[@dave06278]

I respect Hanks relationship with his grand daughters. Because of that I don't hate on him for having them on there. But I agree. Now that Wiley isn't on his channel, I rarely watch him.

[@davida.p.9911]

That was a close one! Stay safe out there Wily! Thank you for sharing!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@calarndt]

That is one good driver Willy...

[@DontbeWily]

Agree

[@Camden09]

Wiley he sure did an excellent job moving that flat bed trailer in place. But in the beginning, he had a hard time pulling that old skidder on that flat bed. They really striped a lot parts off it, not much left.

[@DontbeWily]

Yes With the freight cost added to it there is not a lot of room left on this one

[@RobertGregory-ix6hs]

Good afternoon 🌞 Wiley I think you will be able to get it on the trailer you have a good afternoon 😮

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and you too

Hi Wiley! Really enjoyed this video; you seem to have way of giving insights to something and at the same time I feel like I’m right there with you! Thanks for letting me tag along and I always come away learning something. God bless you , keep em coming!!

Very well done Excellent job my friend Be careful with them eyes, I blistered both of mine back in high school and realized we only have 1 set of eyes Gods Blessing be with you and your family always Looking forward to seeing your next adventure

Thank you and thanks for sharing I thought the same thing about my eyes too. One set. Going to do better

[@jcbro86]

Hey Mr.wily, I just wanted to say I appreciate you and the videos you make. I have three sons, it’s a dream of mine to be able to work together with them as they get older. Good luck when you start your logging!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you. That was my idea. We hit a snag in deal.

[@NoahClay6]

Wow that was a pretty great recovery Wily! Been watching you're videos for a bit now and glad I found the channel. Great stuff 👍.

[@DontbeWily]

I am glad you did too

[@JonDingle]

Not sure what went on or why you and HF split but I no longer follow his channels, they just have something missing? However, your channel is great and I will remain subscribed for more top content like this.

[@danieljay952]

I'm still subscribed to hf but I don't think he knows much about what he's doing especially trying to run some type of school it just seems like he halfasses everything and doesn't know hardly anything without wily

Yes,I looked at a arc welding for 5 seconds and it burned 🔥 my eyes..It felt like I had a bunch of sand in my eyes...In about 4 hours I was in excruciating pain and went to the emergency room and the doctor gave me a shot of Demerol and some antibiotics ointment to put in my eyes..it took 3 days for my eyes to heal ..The arc light burned the first layer of skin on my eyes.. Learned a big lesson from that..

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing It took about 4-5 hours for mine to show up too

[@henryminton4760]

@DontbeWily yes,and you also have to cover up any exposed skin on your body or you will get a sunburn from that bright arc light too..

Burnt your eyes welding, I did that when I was around 14 years old, worst pain ever for the eyes. Hurt to have them open and hurt to have them shut. Felt like they were full of sand . I like your videos too by the way!!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing. It was the most uncomfortable pain i have had in a while, maybe ever

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Wiley. It was most interesting and enjoyable to watch. Sorry about your eyes Wiley. I can understand that the camera lens did not provide enough protection for your eyes from a welder. Oh my. I see you have some dark glasses to wear until your eyes heal up. That had to be painful. Take care of you eyes!!!!!!!!! Your truck driver Scott was a super driver and handled that trailer like a champ. Hard to get that old machine up on the trailer. But the driver eventually got it up on there. He knew how to get it done. Wiley I am not quite following you on this one. You said it was going to Illinois I believe. It was your piece and you sold it???????? Or you had just bought it. Don’t quite understand. Not much left of it the way it looks. Give us some heads up as to what is happening here. Kind of confusing. Most important: you take care of your eyes Wiley. Hopefully they get healed up. Thanks Wiley. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@DontbeWily]

I remember Scotts first skidder pick up at JBs place. Bobby trained him well. It didn’t take him but a hour max to get turned around and load it. It just seemed longer in the sun 😂 I bought and sold it to Schafer.

[@frankpetrone2966]

Praying for your eyes Wiley. Take care of them and see an optometrist.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you very much for that. It worked , i am much better

Oh on the welding,burns m ,,,go home and put slices whole slices of potato on your eyes after getting them burns on them , it helps, somthing to do with the startch .thanks BigAl California p.s. you know if they are burned,two ways , 1 it will fill like you have sand in your eyes, that’s,one way , and the other is red eye, ,both ways are painfull, and if you are not protecting you sides of your eyes when around welding,welding can burn your peripheral site as well you don’t have to be looking straight at it ok thanks

[@allensnook7760]

Maybe the camera lenses magnified intensity of arc.and why it was even worse just plain eyes!seeing how sharp that end ramp is on his lowboy god forbid anyone run into it they would be sliced instantly,maybe run some cut tires on end for a cap that could come off n on,might soften the blow to a crunch,rather than a slice,certainly wouldnt want that on my conscience,get better mr.wiley😊😊😊😊

Wily, I guess you're just a season to hank now. He said seasons come and seasons go... That seems very disrespectful to me. You were a great addition to his lack of knowledge on most everything he did on his channel. Without you, he couldn't have done 1/4 of his will it starts. Look how long it takes him to figure out a simple solenoid on his lift 😂 and how long he took on a simple toolbox install. He's nothing without someone to hold his hand along the way! That's why he has his gd's on there now so the guys have some eye candy - for VIEWS! pathetic he is!
