Ripping it apart! | Wilson Grain Trailer Rear End Work

[@Steelrailbearing]

This is the first video in a very long time that I actually received a notification. Great video, it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one working on a cold, dark, dirt floor, lying on a piece of cardboard.

[@ronaldwang8119]

As always Jamie is a highlight of your videos. I hope you appreciate her and what she brings to your life and your videos. You're a lucky guy!! Great video!!

[@graywolfgaming3206]

Hey Ryan Little tip from an old mechanic they sell disposable rubber nitrite black mechanics gloves on amazon they save a lot of scrubbing on your hands brake dust and grease is a pain to get off. That and the gloves help you keep the oils in you skin so the cold and dry wont make them rough and crack. I enjoy seeing people doing it the right way dont bad-aid it, fix it all right. good vid bro!

[@tswr51]

I’m really enjoying these truck and trailer restoration videos. Thankyou

[@joshuamurphy2984]

Hey Ryan. Not sure if you’ve already got parts yet or not? I’ve worked in the heavy duty parts industry for many many years and wanted to offer some guidance. You don’t have to buy from only Wilson trailer. I’m sure truck country or even Midwest wheel AA wheel Jim hawk will all have the parts you need. The S cams and bushing are standard Hendrickson style tube bushings and cams. Many companies make these such as Hendrickson, euclid, sirco, bwp etc. The brake shoes look to be standard 4515 or 4707 Rockwell shoes and the drums are the good old standby 66864 hub pilot style drums.. Don’t feel stuck shopping only from Wilson trailer for suspension or brake parts.

[@scottquillen3586]

Hey Ryan I agree on a comment about the red rags and rubber gloves they come in handy the gloves save you from hand washing,unless they get ripped we use them all the time.And wanted to say it was really good to get to talk to you in person in Louisville my son Nolan enjoyed meeting you.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

loved how Rocket got things started here today.. great to see you your brother and dad all working together here.

[@matthewlawncare5026]

like seeing y'all fix the big red and the trailer

[@ihus9950]

Looks like it was a good idea to go threw everything on the Trailer, you guys do a Great Job taking care of your equipment 👍

[@leerhill]

I would do some checking around you should be able to get airbags cheaper than that great job so far

[@imthesquareroot6125]

Congrats on the sponsorship. This is the first time I've ever heard of WD-40 sponsoring outside of motor sports and TV.

[@ustinman8446]

Ryan Great to see what you doing The trailer will last you a long time for how you're gonna use it. good job!

[@lukespielman8266]

Nice videos we have a 1996 Wilson and a 2011 Wilson trailer and we love them!

[@muscletractorfan2441]

Love watching you work on this truck.

[@OldTimerDave]

As usual Ryan you have managed to create a very informative video.. As someone who has done the thing you are doing you learn quickly and are doing a great job!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@Doobie2100]

Nice job Ryan!

[@corydevries3494]

Great video Ryan! You and your dad are going to know big red and the trailer by the time you get repairing and replacing all the worn out parts. Keep up the good work

[@that73farmer]

Nice video once again Ryan! It was a pleasure and an honor getting to meet and talk with you at the Farm Show Saturday (I was the one with the cupcakes I showed you). You're definitely as kind in person as you are in your videos. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to talk and meet with me. Take care Ryan and I hope we cross paths again sometime in the future!

[@samrugtiv3839]

Your doing a good job sod buster. Becarefull.

[@Kugerand727]

Really enjoyed meeting you and Jamie at the Farm Show. Thanks for taking time to answer questions and asking about jet engine engineering. Hope you guys got caught up on sleep.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for coming!

[@HowFarmsWork]

By the way, I definitely do recognize the display name as you mentioned at the show!!

[@Kugerand727]

How Farms Work Thanks ! Good luck with the trailer rehab.

[@jimmybland6519]

Enjoyed meeting you and your girlfriend at the tractor show. Just plain folks like us in Tenn. enjoy your and your brothers videos.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for coming!

[@treytonzoss1853]

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching! Good job on getting Big Red done and I hope that getting the Wilson done goes well too!

[@cmusic52]

Thank you for doing a Sposed video, I do know WD-40 is a good company and I always try to keep some stuff around, I'll have to look for their other products, I really found it helpful to know what the blue hand did as when locking Semi's from being taken I always just locked the red hand while wondering why I didn't need to lock out the blue hand as well, and now I know and I really appreciate you having the sponsorship in order to keep this series going and supporting yourself and your farm!!

[@timlarsen819]

Another great video!!

[@andreas404746]

Hello from Sweden. Nice videos. Keep on. Andreas

[@tracesmail]

Very interesting videos! You inspired me to create my own channel. Thanks!

[@fitzieindoorsoutdoorsadventure]

awesome video and I am going back to our old videos! to got caught up

Hey Ryan! It was cool meeting you at the farm machinery show. It’s always interesting to meet other youtubers!

[@mikehornsby599]

Great job enjoyed that

[@kevinwillis9126]

Nice vid Ryan thanks...

[@hughwhaley3179]

Thanks for the video Ryan saw you on Mike Less's video at the NFMS 🚜

[@brianmoyers5362]

Loved getting to meet you yesterday at the national farm machinery show

[@paulgagnon7153]

nice that your dad can teach you all!!!

[@augustreil]

Great video. We usually put a wash pan under the axle with gas and use a wash brush but that WD-40 worked pretty good. Keep up the good content !

[@ilovefarming2217]

Good work Ryan keep going with these great videos

[@goudguppy]

Very interresting video always wanted to take a deeper look into trucks.

[@louisnemick1939]

I have used wd-40 and it is great to get grease off of most anything.

[@CadillacJak]

PB Blaster FTW

[@edharm8446]

Wondering if you were going to install a "speedy sleeve" for the wheel seal?

[@davidk.7264]

Thanks

[@peteparker7396]

Hey Ryan, you may want to check the axle bushing at the pittman arm, I would also recommend changing the shocks. Good ole Water Displacement #40 is good stuff! NASA loved it to keep things from rusting on there rockets,,,

[@pdh__]

Nice video Ryan!! Tnx for the heart!

[@forlandacity]

Paw

[@tucobenedicto109]

Love the Wd40, thought you would use thier penetrating oil. Spray the bolts frist then do the gladhands. Time is what it needs. I've used spray nine degreaser, they have regular heavy and marine formula, all biodegradeable. Blue shop rags are great for disposible and tighter on the paper. Good luck with all this work you'll be safe to drive and pass inspection. :)

[@tateselby1090]

Ryan you will need to get the crank bar that goes the landing gear because you will need it to open the doors on the bottom of the trailer the dumpers

[@rednecktv2016]

Hey Ryan love your videos keep up the good work👍🏻

[@robertmorris153]

if you want to save a headache get some plastic wheel spacers . We use them on our gravel trailers and trucks saves some the alum from sticking to steel . And yes any truck parts supply company will have parts for your axles .Most are universal parts

[@SmallMartingale]

Aww man, we were just getting started!

[@HowFarmsWork]

I'll do a follow up soon!

[@ihman3992]

Hey Ryan great vid I was wondering if you are having a farm day this year because I really want to go.

[@laytoncamidge748]

When are u putting up the meet and greet from the show?

[@titanpreston-winder8245]

I like the Wilson trailers

[@kaylawilloughby931]

For some reason I like your videos more than ( the rest of the story) brother

[@trailhogsracing3412]

Thank you

[@richardvandyke9578]

Before connecting the hoses to your trailer, spit on the glad hand rubbers. They slip together much easier. Dry fitting them tends to pull the rubber out of it's seat. You only need to spit on the truck side. You will be amazed at how much easier they go together.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Tried that and the spit froze in seconds 😂

[@justinhrichena8767]

A shot of wd-40 works as well, also stock up on glad hand washers if you understand hook a lot.

[@tim30409]

It was so cool you did not have to get dirt on your hand LOL

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Looks as a flower pot filled with oil at the end of video 12:54. What will the rightful owner say when spring comes? :D

[@dakotawarden1479]

I saw you at the farm show,had to head home early so I didn't get to come by.maybe next year!

[@brent4991ify]

Put your pry bar in the holes in the rim. It make getting truck tires off easier

[@tblittlewolf47]

Those drums and slack adj. are made in wisconsin @ waupaca foundry

[@tristanbrown2778]

I like your stuff Ryan. Lol😂

[@justanotherfarmer7091]

Word of advice be extremely careful when tightening the glad hands like that. They crack and can blow off over time. Best thing to do is tighten closest to the threads where it's square. Also make sure you spray Brake clean or either over the spindle. That degreaser can dry in the threads and axle cap. Last thing you want is that to mix with the oil and cause bearing failure down the road. Other than that it's looking good. Can't wait to see it start hauling.

[@joshlawrence4512]

Hey ya got ProTorque nuts holding in your hub and bearing assembly... those are great.... and virtually fuckup proof. Stemco actually says to replace the retainer clip everytime removed with a brand new one but as long as it's in good shape (the locking teeth aren't worn) they are reused without issues. Follow proper torquing procedure during re install and enjoy

[@scotthappy712]

That is funny on my friends farm we just did the sae thing you are doning on there grain trailer but we didnt do airbags we did bushings and barreings

[@wannabefarmer6056]

WD40... I love it. Hopefully they treat you better than they did OLF. He did a different take on a sponsored video by actually testing and using there products BEFORE recommending them. He suggested the best products from there lineup that he would buy versus others they supply. They didn't like that. Love you channel and loved this video! Keep up the good luck and happy trailering! :)

[@SmallMartingale]

OLF is a blowhard. They probably watched a few of his videos and decided they didn't want to work with a racist loudmouth 😂

[@richardp950]

nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too

[@tractorman5966]

Hendrickson Air Ride. I"ll be curious to see what parts you get.

[@leol1682]

Thanks, man like the video.

[@strangfarmboy0078]

Good video 😄

[@mouscj3]

Great Video Ryan.... Looking forward to seeing this trailer come back to Full Service Life... When you were mentioning the parts you were planning to replace with New parts.... You didn't mention replacing the Shock Absorbers on both axles along with the Air Bags... Does that mean the shocks are fairly new or will you be replacing them as well... Thanx for sharing...

[@kellykonoske91]

Don't listen to the Debbie Downers Ryan. Your learning valuable skills and you will know your truck inside out in the process. Good job! Todd the retired trucker from Oregon.

[@ozarksfarmerhansen8782]

Us poor people put a cut off barrel bottom under it use Diesel and a parts cleaning brush great job. Been around semis on the farm since was a kid and if you take Trucks and trailers to field need to crawl under them once a week or more to check wheel seals and have somebody work the brakes. Have found every thing from baling wire, barb twine, bale netting wrapped around seals

[@jpoutdoors8818]

Love this video I have always wanted to be farmer I’m trying to learn things

[@_myers_farms_]

Were you at the National Farm Machinery Show in Kentucky? I think I saw you at the versatile booth

[@richardwilcox9727]

How cold was it when you shot this video?

[@Pinziee]

Thx for the interesting video ;-)

[@thea.t.f.allthingsfun9243]

Is rocket alright?

[@NICKSSHOP]

very cool two see this

[@jeremy.billigton]

hey bud take a second and tell where u got a new work jacket from !! hahahaha i see your rocking some new gear and i saw travis in overalls you guys never wear overalls it must be super cold its been cold in missouri where my parents and the farm are!! i love j working out in the shop like you guys do i love your videos keep em coming even though its winter i watch anything you guys post THANKS!!

[@Rhaynerboy]

Are you already hiring trainees for the next harvest or are you waiting for the cold to pass?

[@zurdoflo]

Saludos desde Segovia / España.

[@randyscott8660]

A paint brush and some gas works great to remove grease.

[@jacobotes8443]

and is probably cheaper

[@coryluedtke7352]

Idk if you’ll see this but you might want to look at your spindal I saw a ridge where your bearing rides and if that ridge is bad enough your bearings and seals could pre maturely go bad mid season

[@daggerwinfanfs1937]

I seen you on walker farms video

[@mikeysgarage3697]

That rear wheel bearing seal was past it's best for sure!

[@CadillacJak]

Here is a easy way to get the bearings out of the rotors just leave the rotors on the car and put the axle nut back on a few threads. Pull rotor off let the bearing hit the axle nut when you pull it will knock it right out.

[@eddeetz493]

The safety factor and piece of mind is going to be worth every dime you invest. Your loan will be covered and any surprises are fixed right with the first teardown and not have breakdowns at harvest. Stay warm and dry. You should run big red to practice and pick up parts. Great investment for the farm. I hope Chinas grain purchases push up all grain prices. Hemp production could also reduce ground planted in corn and beans raising prices. $5.00 corn in 2019. Beans add $2.00. 250 million tons a day to China has to help both.

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Really good video Ryan but you should have done the whole axle at one time that's the way it's going to be done but it is a short video I just have to wait and see be safe love WD-40

[@billbaas1402]

I’m not sure if your scraper is big enough lol. Love all your videos

[@nickthompson3881]

The seals in the gladhands are actually replaceable which im assuming is much cheaper

[@SmallMartingale]

The whole hand is cheap and they get eaten up by road salt and mag chloride so it's not a bad idea to just replace them

[@harrybarclay4382]

did rocket hit the grain bin?

[@MatthewHoag77]

It looks like you're becoming intimately familiar with the underside of your trailer. I will admit that I'm probably not the target demographic for anything other than good old original WD-40, but it's nice to see how well some of their other items work on jobs that I will most likely never do. As for you, it seems you are learning new things every day, which is a great way to go through life. What has been your biggest frustration with Big Red so far?

[@HowFarmsWork]

My biggest frustration so far is that the trailer's unloading doors are locked up pretty tight. Still have got to do some work on those

[@MatthewHoag77]

@@HowFarmsWork WD-40 should take care of that, shouldn't it?

[@wallaceloper637]

It seems that if I buy a can of wd40 hear lately it runs out of presser way before I do oil.

[@roberthale8407]

That axle looks like it has seen a bit of bearing heat. It's blued in spots.

[@firstname6208]

you need to push that wheel sensor out slightly before you install the hub. when you tighten the wheel bearings it will self adjust. I would not replace the s cams. just install them rolled over from where they were. top to the bottom. new bushings and seals and reassemble.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Good advice, though the S-Cams needed changing as the pins wore the mount!

[@jimbob9714]

Did you miss your link to the WD-40 degreaser product you mentioned?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Sorry, must not have saved when I changed the description! You can find a link to it on Amazon where I got it!

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

A lot of large long distance truck companies pack their trailer wheel bearings in grease so as to offset the cost of on the road seal failure. leading to a possible out of service citation which would lead to repair by an outside shop,,,, The annual maint program... lets them repack the bearing at their conveinence...... And you can get away with reusing the wheel seal... We just bought 4 53ft dry vans and there is no rubber plug to add oil.......

[@kalebfleming7411]

Nice

[@MeredithFarms]

Great video! I’d rather find something for cheaper and have to fix it my self than pay full price for something ready to go...she should be done and ready to haul grain in no time!

[@autocat9371]

ABS sensor-is there a way to check it out before assembly?

[@justinhrichena8767]

If you put your meter on ac and spin the tone ring on the hub on it you should see voltage if it's good.
