Summer Schedule
Expect a new video every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday! (Schedule May Vary)
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

WD40-Taking lug nuts off a plymouth duster (decades ago). Snapped off one of the lug nuts. Sprayed with WD40. They snapped off 2 more lug nuts. Then I realized lug nuts on the left side of the car (mopar) are reversed threads. Proof that WD40 won't fix lunkheads.

[@807radioman]

What year model Duster? My 68 fury had right hand nuts all around. The 55 had both.

[@alphatango7831]

My dad brought me home a 35dollar 1951 Desoto when I was 15. It was about 20 years old. I learned after snapping 2 lugs off about the L and R threads.

[@ferdytacomaboy3628]

Our 1970 Dodge Coronet was the same way. The left side of the vehicle had left-handed threads. My dad didn't tell me about it.

[@chevyon37s]

My first memory of WD40 is my grandpa putting it on his shovels, hoes, and any other garden tool as soon as he was done using it. They were polished up nice from the dirt, never rusted, and never had dirt stick to them when he used them. Grandpa has been gone for years now, but grandma is still using his tools and spraying them with WD40 as well and they’re all still in great shape.

[@dawncard4031]

My grandma did that also. Her garden tools were like 50 years old or more

[@gumdrop4837]

I think everyones grandparent did that bc mine did it too an my great grandparents

[@Blazer02LS]

Drill out the rivets, then replace the slides with roller bearing inline skate wheels. Add a rod all the way across the frame with some spacers to move the wheels out of the wear areas while giving better support and the doors will work much better. You don't want them to be able to move up/down or the teeth on the gearing can slip. The wheels will apply some downward pressure and still let the door move , and they would be easily replaceable if needed.

[@kylecox3836]

If it wasn’t for WD40 I would have never been able to sneak out of the old farm house at night as a teenager 🤣!!!!

[@rosedad4life688]

My Grandfather spraying WD-40 on my bike chain after a long winter. The smell and it worked every year for flawless days of bike riding. I liked it so much that now that I am older, I am a shareholder of WD-40 for over 15 years! It keeps working!

[@bhensel100]

Pretty cool that one of the State MV's is a fan of your channel. My first memory of using WD 40 was at our beach house on the Delaware Bay. We had a pad lock on the door and my daughter couldn't get the key into the lock. I said....use the WD 40. With that she picked up the can and started hitting the lock with it... DUH

[@user-pd7wp3wl6d]

My first memory of WD-40... My grandfather was a mechanic. There was WD-40 everywhere, including his bathroom. He would spray his knees. Swore it helped his joints.

[@Warpfield]

Way back when, (I'm 64 now), my dad and I used WD-40 for just about everything when I was growing up. I remember him always getting the name wrong by calling it DW-40. I used to correct him but gave up after a while. We always knew what he was talking about. :)

[@Bill_H]

Ryan. You might be getting buildup still on those plastic/nylon guides. The best thing might be to take them off and file them down just a touch to give a bit more clearance! Old school fixes still work best! Blessings from Ohio to you and Travis!

[@davidkaufmann4513]

It was 1974 and my brother and I were refinishing our 1957 Higgins Inboard boat. We started taking some of the trim off and the screws were a bit crusty to say the least. A good spray of WD40 really helped us get those screws loosened. Thanks for asking about a memory I haven't thought about in a long time!! BTW - the boat turned out beautifully and stayed in our family for another 40 years.

[@timlennon4571]

Back in August 2008, i came home from school my grandpa (we called him pawpaw) was out his shop. We named it pawpaw's workshop and to this day I still have the sign that says it that he kept above his shop door. Anyway, he was building OF ALL THINGS a wagon used to take his trash cans to the road because he had an artificial leg and couldn't walk well. He put 2 old bike tires on it and once it was put together, he spun the wheels in satisfaction of his work. The wheels began to squeak. I remember him spraying WD-40 on the center bearings and all of a sudden the squeaking stopped as he intended. He goes "never fails" and put his 2 trash cans in it and took them to the road. The smell stuck with me and I have loved it since.. He passed the following April. I was 15 when this happened and I now have a farm of my own and workshop of my own. I keep a can of wd-40 around at all times.

[@davidwayman3121]

My first memory of WD-40 is of my grandpa using it on his 1960's model International pickup truck. He always used it on his door hinges and the window cranks. I never heard his doors squeak and the windows never stuck.

[@ericdavis9360]

My first memory was when I was a kid helping my dad work on his 1979 CJ-7 Jeep. Always have a can on standby at my farm for sure

[@sommierfarms9734]

As a little kid, in the farm shop, I helped my dad fix stuff as a "go-fer". Go fer this and go fer that. Hand me a 1/2 in drive wrench with a 3/4 socket. Wd-40 was the main go-to for anything stuck. Love the smell. Being little, it was the only way I could get some things to move or break free, even if a grown up could have done without it!

[@pacopeso8474]

I worked for the Germantown, Tennessee Fire Department 35 years. My first use of WD40 was back in the 70s to loosen a stuck Fire Hydrant.

[@billwhitman1529]

We have to go back 45+ years. My first tractor at age 12 was a Farmall Cub. Between the cultivators, sickle bar mower, and plow, I used WD-40 on every bolt, hinge, and the cutter bar. It worked well and has instilled a partiality to WD-40 that has lasted a lifetime.

[@mattmlez]

The thing I remember the most about wd40 is being a kid, and when my dad would work on the tractors, you could smell that very distinct smell all over the shed. Love the channel!

[@CertifiedForkLiftOperator69420]

speaking of smell tbh only reason i use wd 40 is cause it doesnt smell as bad as pb blaster lol. but imo all these sprays are the same. except a few wd 40 odd stuff they seem to work better then other brands.

[@garrettsimonsen4045]

My very first memory of using WD40 was when I was 5 or 6. I remember my dad teaching me how to take care of my bike and using WD40 to lube up the chain. I have loved the smell of WD40 ever since.

[@kenbellamy6085]

Well, at least he didn't come out and say "boy, you gonna be here awhile".

[@pauldavidbolte8434]

I was a little boy in the 70s. My grandpa owned a hardware store and we were at the Belknap Hardware convention in Louisville KY and there was a vendor handing out these mini cans of this stuff called WD40. Everybody i saw at the show i think had a little can of this stuff. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen because even I could loosen a bolt at my age if i sprayed WD 40 on it!

[@fergywurst]

I first ran into WD-40 at the race track. We used to spray WD-40 onto the sprint car wings and leading edges of the frame. This helped in preventing mud from collecting on the car. Amazing the amount of mud that will collect on a race car and adds a lot of weight to the car. It also helped in removing any mud which happened to collect and it would not stick as easily where the WD-40 was sprayed.

[@alanannerosafarm8043]

Many years ago, when our boys were very young and long before I had a work shop, I was under the truck working on a rusted cable. I told our 4 year old to go in the house and get the WD40 from mom for me. He did go in and told his mom dad wanted the WP38. She knew what I wanted but it has always been WP38 to our family ever since? This not my first memory of WD40 but a memorable one. We enjoy your channel very much! Just a side note, we've had nearly seven inches of rain in the past 48 hours. Many crops under flood water in southeast Nebraska. Was very dry two days ago now flooding, crazy!

[@mackXDM]

Was thinking about this for a bit. The first time I can actually remember using WD-40 was helping my grandfather and uncle changing out the metering "rollers" on the old press drill my uncle pulled behind a plow. Hard work that day, chains were rusted and the shift was stuck. Sprayed them down good, ate lunch and went back to pulling. I couldn't have been but 10.

[@mattsprayberry0]

When Hank Hill use the can of WD-40 to open a can of WD-40

[@mattunes5823]

Absolute BOSS move.

[@rickallman1318]

That was pretty funny!

[@cammeredith4868]

My garage doors where sticking and opening slow, so I looked around in my shop for some lube and I saw the old can of wd-40. It was probably 6-7 years old but still worked like a charm and I’ve been using it ever since. Great product!

[@donbanti7734]

The Massey Ferguson dealer called it panther piss…remember that from my childhood lol

[@jamesrobb474]

Still do lol

[@sickmannduane633]

I think my first use of WD-40 was when working on my own car as a young teenager and then showed or told my dad how well it worked, because he didn’t believe in those products ... subsequently he started using it as well and he ran an electric motor repair shop. As a helpful hint I would take the belts off of the motors that were giving you problems and just check the bearings ... they are ball bearings and can be replaced quite easily if that’s the problem ... bearings are common and can be obtained or ordered at the local auto parts store. My only suggestion is to get “sealed” bearings (rubber seals, not metal shields) as your replacements. We found in the shop that it is just too easy to overgrease if you use that feature and that may cause greater problems as in burnouts, the grease gets into the windings and breaks down the insulation causing an eventual burnout (very expensive). Greasing works if the shield where the grease is to get into the bearing is removed and the plug at the opposite end location of the grease zerk is also is removed so the spent grease has a way out rather than getting into the interior of the motor and the shaft spinning it into the windings. Common bearings are 202 (small), 203, 204, 206, 208 (large) these numbers are preceded by 88, 87 as examples, indicating whether shielded, sealed or no shield etc each manufacturer having there own system. They all usually stick to the 200 or 300 series core numbers as they designate mm sizing of the bearing 300 series bearing are much larger overall your motors will most likely be in the 200 series size. Electric amp meters are now available in multifunctional uses that can include the ability to test capacitance, so “if you are careful” and respect electricity, you can test just about everything concerning a motor or troubles with them. The meters referred to have dropped in price considerably. I personally prefer the brand UEI as I used that while doing my HVAC work, they are available on Amazon at discounted prices. I would would get one that is primarily used as an amp meter as that can tell you a lot about your motor (properly loaded or other problems such as a bad “run” capacitor, bad bearings etc) Great job on all your videos... keep up the good work. Thank You

[@dalemarks1463]

Used it forever probably since 85... smells great,works great. Always wanted a 55 gallon drum,ha.

[@toddholmer9700]

My first experience with WD-40 was when I was a kid on the family farm. We always had it in the shop. We used it on all rusty bolts and anything dealing with maintenance. Great product!

[@cereus57]

First memory of WD40 use was on sprockets of some old bikes we were putting back on the street! State troopers are the best kind of fans, stay safe out there!

[@randykelly4755]

I remember as a young boy walking down to the creek that ran through grandparents property. My fishing reel was not the greatest and I recall spraying WD40 in it to make it reel smooth. I thought that was one of the greatest thing to quickly fix a problem without taking it all apart and cleaning, oiling etc.

[@thomaswilliams2253]

As a kid, I remember using WD40 on the tailgate hinges on my grandfather’s 69 Chevy pickup truck.

[@fdejacma]

My uncle’s Esso station prior to name change , he loved the stuff had me spraying everything in the garage. That smell you remember forever

[@larrymitchell1628]

Preacher (young) stopped by one snowy morning to drive me to school. I was 17. He engaged me in a snowball fight. Meantime he’d raised the “boot” over the rear of his VW bug to check its oil. And I fired. Thereafter, wouldn’t start as ignition wires were grounding out from snow, now becoming water. We grabbed the WD40 spray can and sprayed down his ignition wires. She started right up. Saved my soul!!

[@halgreene1482]

My first time using WD40 bike chain in late 50s. Long time ago and still using it for everything. Good video!

[@scorpionsedge]

My first memory of WD40 would be when I was amazed at my dad using it on a door and making the squeak go away. Easily impressed youth! LOL

[@perniciousreaper4393]

If I'm being honest, my first memory of WD-40 is from about age 7...turning it into a flame thrower and roasting fire ants.

[@stacycarter8641]

Did something similar….except it was my sisters hair.

[@tomwinkle5536]

I had an old Yamaha dirt bike back in the 70's. My 1st memory of wd 40 was the cool little tube where I could oil my clutch cable easier. Prior was the old 3 in 1 oil can.

[@chuckhansen3139]

Free up hinges that squeak. Good to see use of 18 wheeler. Thanks for sharing your work life.

[@andrewbusshardt4533]

I remember my grandpa using on the farm for everything saying this will be one of the greatest tools u will ever need so dont ever forget where u set it lol and hes rite. Little things i remeber from him even if its not a big thing but will always mean something to me!!! Thanks Ryan

[@timadams5409]

My dad was a small engine mechanic back in the 70's and when I was young enough to remember what he was doing, I remember him spraying WD-40 on anything that moved (cables, linkages, throttles) on those go carts, mini bikes and lawnmowers. And of course all the locks and door hinges in the shop. I can even remember him spraying it on his knuckles, he said it was good for arthritis.

[@billerickson8871]

Been using WD40 for many many years... rusty digger shovel bolts, rusty combine chains, and always the door handles on the old Year-A-Round, and Hiniker tractor cabs on our 4010's and 20's... keep those videos coming!

[@danielkavanaugh4544]

The first time I saw or used WD40 was 1967 while working at The Boeing company they used in on aircraft tooling jigs to stop them from rusting I was impressed, and have used it on my farm and big rigs ever since

[@jerrysgaragethemoneypit2028]

I have used WD40 for about 50 years. I purchase in 5 gallon buckets. It's a great product. Especially when they removed the water base which caused my guns to rust. Great Product!

[@nickmckay1635]

My first memory with WD-40 was when ever my dad was wrenching on tractor, combines, or truck I remember he always called it JUICE! I was five or six when he had me hold the can and everytime he said spray the JUICE!!! I would spray the nut or bolt with the WD-40. Pretty good memories thanks for idea of the contest

[@frankeem3820]

My WD-40 story is freeing up the rings on a 1970 Ski Doo olympique 399 snowmobile. I did that when I was a teenager back in the 80s when I picked up an old sled to fix.

[@ianburit3705]

My first encounter with WD40 was way back in the mid 1960`s when I was a 16 year old, licensed to ride a motor scooter only. It was called ROCKET WD40 as it said on the spray can as used on the American space race, so was good enough for my motor scooter.. Used It ever since.. Thanks for the video - Ian.. UK

[@qrplife]

My first memory of WD-40 was when I was 9 years old. I took the spray can and “borrowed” a cigarette lighter and went incinerating ants in the back yard. Thankfully I adjusted well with age and didn’t graduate to inflicting a fiery hell on other, larger, creatures. That was nearly 50 years ago :)

[@someperson7]

My first memory of using WD-40 was being like ohhh what's this can and my Dad being like Leave that alone! Actually using it on bicycle chains seemed so grown up later.

[@davidiwanaga3050]

First started with wd-40 over 40 years ago working on my dad's ranch. Now I currently buy wd-40 in 5 gallon containers. Go through 25 to 30 gallons a year. Great channel, keep up the great work.

I grew up on a cattle farm on the other end of US-61, south of Vicksburg, MS. I love the videos.

My Grandpa Cody in his blue bibbed Key overalls and straw hat introduced me to WD40. I think he was addicted to the smell. Some 50 years later I always have a can on hand.

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Had a wet distributor sprayed with wd40 put cap back on and the engine stated. Good stuff

[@finpainter1]

The older wd40 used it for fishing spray bait for scent .Fish loved it.

[@quagmiredavis4117]

First use of w D40 for us was sticking valves on old tractor fogged in cylinders let sit .. after few days fogged in cylinders as it was running The old tractor smoothed out and 16 years later still running its a 1940s M international still in use 2021 saved us on a engine teardown. Good stuff ..

I have to say I love the smell of wd40 I remember my grandfather using it in his work shop when I was young I actually still have one of his wd40 cans in the garage

[@adamsherm29]

Ny first expirence was when I was real young and ny dad had the farm. We were always using WD-40 on everything, especially our little Ford loader we used to load silage to feed the cows. Man what I would give to go back to those days again

I always followed behind the sweep during the last major pass and shoveled the side corn three feet in so that the sweep caught it, reducing work in the long run.

[@earllutz2663]

As far as WD 40 and my earliest memory of using it; I really can't say, since at 72, I have been using WD 40, for most of my life. For me, WD 40 has been a go - to product, for most of my life.

[@josephcapobianco6805]

I remember as a small kid with my dad spraying WD40 on his snow blower to make the snow throw farther. We would spray it on the everything to keep snow from sticking. I still do it today.

[@mavy8260]

My first memory of many using WD-40, would have to be using it on my bike chain every spring to go ride around town with my friends for the summer. To this day WD-40 is the only lubricant I use for rusted things.

[@billcraddock7166]

My first memory was around 7 or 8 years old, used WD-40 on my bikes squeaky chain.

The very distinct smell that gets on your hands (and never goes away)-- Its got to stick around because that smell always does. :) love the stuff -- bottles everywhere...

[@claytonbatten7317]

I used wd40 on some hinges on a barn door that sounded like a great place for spooky people to live. Great video. Best time with a wd40 can was when I accidentally threw it in the trash can instead of the burn can. Makes a nice fire 🔥

I was an Independent contractor for many years. One of my contracts was to prepare door's for new safety deposit boxes for a small town Bank in Chelsea Oklahoma. The doors were newly const. American Stainless Steel. The Virgin steel being new & porous required this final step of being wiped down with a generous coat of WD-40 to fill the pours of the steel with Water Displacement Oil before these pours become corrupted with hydrogen molecules or oxygen molecules (water).

I fought the exact same problems on my hopper bottom. What I eventually figured out was a layer of rust was forming between the steel gear track and the bottom of the door. It was rust jacking the door up and the track down. We had to remove the doors and grind the hucks (the big rivets) off and separate the track and door and grind out all the rust and repaint the track and reassembled with bolts and doors worked like new.

I can’t remember my first use of WD40. I use it so many times on so many applications. Two words “It works”. All of their products are excellent.

[@jeremyc9229]

I remember my first time using it very clearly. I was about 7 years old, and spent all the time I could with my grandpa in his shop. In the back of the shop was where he saved things of all sorts. I remember wanting to build a go cart with him because I saw this old rusty small engine in the back of his shop. I dreamed of getting that thing running and using it on a go cart we would build. Well, one day I asked him if he thought we could get that engine running, it was seized up, but he told me we could. He had me spray WD40 in the spark plug hole, I mean most of a can. He told me to wait a few days and see if it would turn over. It did! I tore it down all the way after that and put it back together, and it started and ran for years on the go cart I build with my grandpa!

[@jakeschlumm1835]

My first memory of using WD-40 was with my grandpa using them on the bolts of his truck while we were replacing the front end of his pickup.

When you reset a breaker, stand with your face away from the panel, and your body along side. Don't stand in front of the box. If you have a shorted box, it can blow up in your face.

[@lrizo3841]

Bicycle chains and cowboy boots were the first thing I remember using WD-40 on. I rode the hell out of my bike when I was a kid pretending it was my horse getting my boots all dirty. Then when Mama came home and it was time to go to dinner my boots were dirty, so my dad said here spay this WD-40 on your boots and you'll be fine.

[@SteveHolsten]

Thanks, Ryan, I first encountered WD--40 at a cotton gin in the late '70s to the early '80s. Back then you could spray across a Bic lighter & it would spray like a flame thrower. My boss burned my butt as I walked by. It's a wonder we didn't burn that gin down before they made it non-flammable a couple of years later!!!

[@allietwort1146]

My favorite WD-40 memory is when a good family friend used the tractor to open the milk house door but his wife had used WD-40 on it and it was working fine. He took it off and when his went to get the same door from a friend she put it back on and said to him when he got home WD-40 and it's fine.

First memory of WD40… as a very young kid of 3 or 4 I had an electric riding Stutz Bearcat that I loved and would ride so much that the battery would be dead. And I remember having it out in the garage propped up on something and “working on it” by spraying WD40 all over the motor. I was sure that WD40 was the right stuff because my initials are also WD. 😆

I grew up using "Liquid Wrench", and didn't learn about WD-40 until I got old enough to fool with off-road motorcycles. ( 1968 ) at that time, the need to flush water and dirt from ignition and carburetor parts made the aerosol spray very attractive.

I bet his joints didn’t squeak (p.s. I’ve heard some shop mechanics use it back in the day for many home remedies back in my day as well )

Believe it or not but my aunt did the same. I often wondered if it was a good idea but she made it to 95 just fine.

Back in the day I have also heard of people using it that way 👍
