As a retired trucker of 26 years, I want to make a suggestion. If you have some old carpet remnants, slip them between your straps and what ever your hauling as you tighten down your straps. It will protect your straps from being worn in two at a rub point. Worked for me hauling oversized And normal sized loads. Watch you daily! Really enjoy y'alls videos. Best wishes for upcoming New Year.

[@rosiedepetro8674]

Robert, you are so right. I was a trucker myself back in the late 70s up to the time they grandfathered in the license (I just let my license exp. because I couldn't drive any more) . Anyway ... when I needed to use my straps I had an Old-timer (driver) tell me to do that and it did save my straps. A good strap is not cheap & with prices now-a-days ya need to protect what ya have. God bless

[@kipcudd7253]

I always kept pieces of carpet on my hot shot rig 40' gooseneck neck with a single axle Volvo truck with a super 10 Trans and 350 Detroit couldn't tell I had a load at anytime. All over the USA. Then I went long haul, should've stayed hotshoting.

[@kipcudd7253]

Could you zip tie some rubber or a piece of garden hose along the edge of the frame for extra protection?

[@connierifenburg9758]

Do you have the chickens up there with you? Or are they still at the old house ?

[@artszabo1015]

@@kipcudd7253 The carpet or softener as it is called is placed between a sharp corner of the load and the strap, not the trailer. If there was a rub point on the trailer your idea would work wonderfully. Art from Ohio

[@RobertKohut]

On the generator check the crankcase ventilation for icing. It might be plugged with ice and that would create excessive crankcase pressures forcing oil out the dipstick.. Remove the air filter to check the crankcase vent hose.

[@setdown2]

Someone is using deduction to figure out the problem...good stufffff 🖖

[@warrenmichael918]

THought the same thing, something is making more pressure in there now. I know oil looks like a gallon on the floor when its only a little bit spilled but i wonder if he even checked the level after he noticed the leak.

[@ralfhouston2591]

I second that thought. I worked for years in automotive repair and would see the same thing. Check the air filter housing for oil as well. That crankcase pressure can be sneaky and will find the weak point in your engine sealing. Remember gravity when checking for the failure point. It might be worthwhile. The other thing you should check is an exploded diagram of the dipstick tube where it enters the crankcase. If there is no sealing o-ring or gasket, the sealer you applied will just make the pressure cause a leak at the next weakest point. This could cause a gushing leak which would probably shut the motor down if you have an oil level shut down.

@@warrenmichael918 If you watch the video, you will see that one of the first things he does is check the oil level.

Gina was able to quit her job, they’ve acquired many new animals, tools, construction supplies, lands, vehicles, etc. the list is endless. They work hard and document it for us and I am ever so grateful that KZbin works for all our benefits. I’ve been watching for a few years and have seen their growth and am constantly inspired

[@oldcarpenter2372]

The oil leak might have been caused by excess pressure buildup within the crank case, if the (PCV) positive crank case ventilation system is not operating properly. The PVC should be creating a slight vacuum / negative pressure within the crank case, which should prevent oil from being blown out at the dipstick tube. Maybe a suction hose/tube is loose or the PCV valve is malfunctioning. Nice trailer! I like the galvanizing.

Good thought there gup. Engineering should have had that covered. As a safety feature it would seem a really crummy one given the mess it makes and the environmental issues. Doesn't sound right.

[@clydedecker765]

I will second an opinion expressed in another comment. The only way to get that kind of leak is internal crankcase pressure. Check crankcase vents and all filters that lead to the crankcase. Excess crankcase pressure is the cause now.... Good luck. BTW, I don't support the ice build up idea since running the engine would thaw that out...But dust and the like can clog filters and vents. A call to the generator vendor might be in order too. You are doing it all right - it is just a little more than simple, evidently.

Only wash eggs when you are ready to use, washing removes a film on the outside and the eggs won’t last long and will go off once washed

I bet Al already figured out the oil leak, but if the engine oil was way overful, it will blow back into the air filter box and then leak out. Usually soaks and ruins paper air filter too. Oily air fiilter won't flow enough air to engine.

Best to have a 7/12 pitch and don’t put the doors where the snow will slide off or ice build up. I love your toys and miss mine too.

[@WinsomeWomanWanderer]

I always enjoy following your methodical reasoning when problem solving. Thanks for keeping us in the loop at every step. It brings back fond memories of helping my grandpa work. He was a farmer born in 1889. He lost part of his right thumb while plowing his fields. The horse got spooked and bolted. Unfortunately grandpa Bill had the reigns wrapped around his thumb. It popped off with the first jolt. "I never did find that thing" was his only complaint. He never appeared to miss it much. He could wrench better than any man I've seen since. His hands were massive, if he couldn't get his hand into a space he invented a tool or a technique to "get the job done". I loved being his right hand girl, shadowing his every move. I got so that I could anticipate what tool he would need next. I'm sure my time with Grampa influenced my decision to go into Occupational Therapy at age 13. I've been retired now for more than 6 years but still enjoy servicing & repairing my own equipment just like Grampa did. Thanks for the trigger to take a trip down Fond Memory Lane, AL. Blessings abundant to you all, and a Happy New Year too!

I would like to offer two suggestions. You asked what new truck should you consider. I suggest a 1 ton Dooley of what manufacturer you prefer. Other suggestion is loading your trailer with something like the chicken coup. A couple of 2 in pipes that will fit under skids and roll up in trailer will help considerably loading and unloading. Also relieve tension on the winch.

Oh yeah! When you are serious about the OG life and the right equipment makes a big difference.😍

[@zaphonesofthome]

Recommendation for pickup: a nice 3/4 or 1 ton Deisel pickup. New they can be as much as a house. One I have is Dodge 2nd Gen 24v Cummins 2500. Pulls strong carries 3000 lbs payload and pulls 13,400 lbs. Of you get a well maintained one they go and go.

Nice trailer Al, that going to be very handy down the road on your builds. Stay blessed ❤️‍🔥🕊

[@chcnsac]

Another great video! Congratulations on the new trailer and getting the bobcat hydraulic line removed snd replaced, plus the troubleshooting on the generator and thankfully a relatively easy fix for you Al. Always amazed! No telling how much money you have saved by having the ability to fix things yourself 👏🙌🏻❤

[@agnestakacs2059]

G’day 😊 look at you go! Stepping up in the world with some big boys toys 😃👍 that is one cool trailer! Like a transformers trailer. Super awesome! 😆

[@teresahyneman4349]

Good Thursday morning to ya Agnes!

[@samvalentine3206]

G'day, Agnes! Sure is a nice one. The family will have to try not to scratch off the galvanization in daily use. A scratch here or there will allow rust to get a hold, and we don't want that!

Good work finding that leak and fixing it. I too really like that trailer. It works very well. Cool video ❤️👍

Oh Gina I'm salivating over that sourdough loaf ,I can almost smell it from here..... you just have to get round to consolidating all your recipies into a Cookbook. Nice trailer Al good to see you supporting your Canadian neighbours. Cheers to all from snowy New Brunswick Canada.

[@rdyardie]

You have been through an exciting year. Best wishes for a great 2023. We enjoy your problem solving skills. 😊

[@abcxyz1797]

Ya’ll need a large equipment barn, to house your toys out of the harsh NH weather.

[@jjj32801]

In a parallel universe called Florida, I am experiencing the same events as Al and Gina. My week off has been one fix after another. Of course, I do not have to fight the cold/snow and loss of power. Your videos make me feel that I am not alone with home and equipment repairs.

[@bendigr]

you're gonna need some air bags or helper springs for the rear of your truck. Or air shocks ? i'm pulling similar weight with my Tundra and !8' trailer. the truck squats quite a bit with a load. Be safe with a half ton truck.

[@johnnym.rodriguezr3562]

I use to work on generators usually there is a o ring but there should be a slight indentation at the base of the stick or if it’s flat cut you a gasket.

[@bradpogue3448]

That was a good investment buying that trailer. Sure worked real well hauling the hay feeders. Stay safe warm and careful

[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice looking trailer Al and Gina

[@davidfarley1175]

Make sure to thank your patrons and advertisers for the new trailer,

[@brucealvarez9263]

Agreed, that is a VERY nice trailer!

[@identitybiker]

G’day from Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Nice to see a good trailer getting used. Galv certainly is the right protection.

[@HansQuistorff]

Great when attachments can stay with the load and match the equipment on the other end.

[@jfinnall]

Maybe check the crankcase filter / ventilation on the generator. If it is building up pressure then it could blow oil anywhere the pressure can escape.

[@northernliving2387]

Al call for service on you generator you have warranty on it it'll be covered. Nice trailer

[@kyleconners5074]

Hey al I'm a heavy equipment technician the hose you took out have what they call j.i.c fittings you can get a cap and plug kit on Amazon for fairly cheap and they work great and less mess it's a win win. love your videos thank you

[@Jerryshipping12]

chains and binders for moving the machines, also get some airbags for your truck it will help with leveling it out when loaded, if and or when you upgrade to a bigger truck I would suggest a 1 ton, dully if possible just because your toys keep getting bigger so eventually you will need the extra power, towing capacity and stability of it.

[@CCRider5312]

AL You definitely need some tracks on The Bobcat like on the Kawasaki Mule. If you can find a set that will fit on it, would sure make your chores easier in the snow. 😉👍

[@vito336]

At 33:44, when you are talking about using brake cleaner, there is a hose-to-metal-tubing connection, attached to a framing member. The steel tube is bent into a tight “j”-and it is KINKED, collapsed!!! Much like a McDonald’s straw when you try to suck too much milk shake through it. Whatever fluid that passes through that tube, it is impeded.

[@vito336]

A tight “u”. Sorry.

[@williamstevens9609]

I'd be sure to still clean all that road salt off every time you get done using the trailers. As someone who's worked for a DOT the only way to keep things from rusting is to keep it clean and a good coating of fluid film before every winter. That salt can still damage the galvanized coating they use.

[@joannaaustin278]

the man and his toys ..my husband would be drooling if we were still on our farm..

[@terryhenderson424]

With your snow blower system - you have become a traditional farmer. 'Ya buy something used at a good price, 'ya then discover and fix the "used" issues one piece at a time, 'ya find some attachments you need or are dying to have, the deeper you dive in the more you find, and then you doubt yourself. UNTIL you price your result brand-new. Then you're greatful for what you have and realize that had you aimed for brand new for the same it would either be out of range or that buying new would have impacted all else on the farm. Plus, by the time you're done you know (all too well sometimes) what you own inside and out.

You forgot to mention he gets a ton of really expensive stuff for free.
