Spring Planting - Transmission Failure! - Part 5

[@stephenkennedy9322]

🔧 I thought Leg Arms would have dropped the Transmission in the Field and carry the transmission over his shoulder back to the Shop to rebuild it. 💪😬😂

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

💪😁

[@thehoff4581]

While waiting for the rebuild kit, he eats a 6 foot sub and resurfaces the flywheel. With his hands, utilizing Hollywood's freshly shaved facial hair stubble and mountain dew......to be continued?

From a child of 80's Georgia Farming family..........Technology of today is amazing. We used landscape marker points for planting and never had perfect rows. If you were off, you were off x 12 rows. So, it was really noticeable. The width you guys cover per pass is amazing. I really enjoy the videos. Brings back a lot of memories. The early 80's drought hurt us. So, we were able to sell out at the right time. But, I was so lucky to have grown up on a farm and experience that life. All the life lessons I learned are priceless.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Those were tough years. Big Bud had to fold, but that's one of the reasona they are iconic today

[@fynbo1007]

I love that you repair your own equipment, instead of just buying new. I am sure your big bud is very high quality. None of the new tractor is suited to do the same. The best luck to you both, they are still job to be done in the fields. Thank you for sharing your journey, God bless you and your family

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

It is satisfying to see your labor get the work horse back into the field

[@tctarheelfarmin358]

There are definitely new tractors that can do the same as the bud.

[@Paulman50]

Imagine changing the transmition in a late model tractor. I did a clutch in my small tractor and it took 4.5 days.

[@fowletm1992]

@@Paulman50 Takes about a day in a modern tractor The cab is 1 big electrical plug and 4 bolts to lift off The worst part is the A/C, gotta drain the gas out and refill when finish The transmission is usually 4 of its our mounts plus 3drive shafts, they don't have clutches on the fly wheel any more A drive shaft straight off the flywheel into a wetpack clutch point a powershift then a driveway to the front and rear diff Then there's usually 6 to 10 hoses on the trans from pumps to cooling to control

Hi all, Happy to hear that you got the broke Bud back up and running so fast. Might have taken a little longer than Scott originally thought, six vs. three hours, but you guys have got this run, repair, repeat thing down to a science. Never thought that I would find farm world videos so interesting. But you all make it so easy to enjoy with the great photography and interesting story lines. Favorite has to be serving the Wonkins a little breakfast smoke in " like a good neighbor " truly LOL funny 😂. God bless and stay safe out there!!!

Having that happen during planting or harvest would have been a major crisis, literally waiting for weeks to get repairs done.

[@jonkreiser7757]

I guess I should clarify, being down TWO BUDS.... Really I think what happened goes back to what you were saying about Buds being sensitive..... I think they missed each other and just needed some quality time together since they weren't getting that on the field! Who knows maybe they are even trying to teach us a lesson that we can relate to our marriages that if they don't get the quality time they are gonna break down!

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Hiya from the damp flat bit of England between Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester! There are some uprated versions of that 13-speed Fuller out there, with the first two numbers corresponding approximately to the torque capacity in lbf/ft (I used to be a truck applications engineer for Foden Trucks, the UK arm of Paccar, and these went into 4000 Series trucks - basically a UK Kenworth K100). TSO 15613, TSO 16613 and I think also TSO 17613 although the latter I expect will be rare. Finding one of those and treating it to modern lub oil may just give you a bit more steel and a bit less cheese. I always enjoy your vids, they are a weekend must-watch. See ya

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Gaaaaah, sorry - they should be RTO, not TSO (that's a whole other episode in Eaton/Fuller history, the awesome Twin Splitter transmissions). Don't drink and post, kids.

Or if there would be room for maybe a triple of quad counter shaft unit out of a heavy haul truck... Although 30 years is pretty solid for the constant load the tractor puts on the transmission.
