[@johnlemmey7698]

Legarms. Your family are looking out for you. They know that having nothing to do is a bad thing. Never fear with your family you will always be working to keep you busy.

[@farmboy5622]

Yeah Bob, I grew up using a 1-hole outhouse until I was in 3rd grade. We lived next to my Grandparents, and we shared a 1-holer with them. My Grandparents had running water only at the kitchen sink. We did not have any running water, and had to carry water from their place to ours (about 300 feet or so). If we wanted hot water, we had to heat it up on the stove. Took baths in a large metal tub. Teachers at school had to explain to me, how to use a regular flushing toilet.

Dad used to get those Coke bottle in a 6pak. You could collect the caps and at 500 turn them in for a plastic wall clock 70s and thru early 80s for sure.

Listening to Bob tell the story of the Homestead was very interesting and cool to see it still in production after all those years.

[@bradleygray4109]

Here in Canada we had those bottles in the 80's

I remember those bottles from 1970. I would buy a 6 pack with a very heavy plastic carry container. I would have to bring the bottles back before getting a new 6 pack. If I did not bring back the old bottles, I would get charged extra for the new ones.

Dad, what a wonderful treatise on your roots in the 'old place.' You and your son's produce excellent video's. Thanks.

[@ourv9603]

Years ago I bought a 2nd hand Ford Explorer. When you'd press the cruise control SET button, the truck would floor it & accel 40mph from where you started. It really was startling until you got used to it. SO, as I rolled down the freeway on ramp I would press the SET button when I got to 25mph, the truck would gun it 40 mph & I would cruise along at 65. Before I sold the truck I disabled that cc. Just to be safe. !

[@sarahintz8856]

Nice to see that the big bud is rollin coal plus I saw them at comedy classic in New Orleans and signed my hat

[@bradolsen8629]

That pop bottle may be between the early 70s to the mid 70s I do remember seeing a bottle like that in those days

[@badgerpa9]

An educated guess on your coke bottle, return for deposit did not start until 1971, by about 1975 coke had switched to liters. So I would guess it is from between those years. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Scott, there is no harm in a tear when you realize how much love is in one family. Its a healthy love and not mixed with drugs or anger, deceit or deceptive thoughts of who is the best or hardest worker... plus Nick does clean the shop... right?? Comes right down to it, even Roberts jokes are meant well. All in all, good God fearing an loving family.... and don't forget guard dog Coby!

[@traveller9625]

Loved that Welker history story. Your family is part of what made this country great, no matter what is happening now a days. We should all be grateful for the determination of those that came before us. God Bless

[@elvisbrown4345]

Love this channel! Big Buds are amazing machines! When we would go visit our grandparents in northwest Minnesota they had an outhouse. My first memories were 1967 I was 12. We would sleep in the loft and grandma would give me and my 2 brothers a big can to use during the night so we didn’t have to go outside! They raised 8 children in that house! The tribe built her a new house in 73. We still used her outhouse during the daytime 😂

[@rickmarin1265]

I would guess later because of the screw on top lol . the old ones needed a can opener :) :) :)

[@rayhorst6982]

The two seat outhouse reminds me of a funny who lives near me in VA. He built a fake outhouse at the edge of his woods. The one side had a standard size cutout like you would see in an outhouse. The other side had one half of a standard size cutout and he had a sign on the back wall which read, For my half ....... relatives! I remember as a kid growing up in western Maryland that the first path shoveled out after a snow storm was the one to the outhouse. Had to sweep the snow off the seat before you could get down to business. May y'all reap a bumper crop this year! God bless you and keep it going!

[@RichardThompson-gc1cf]

You two youngins ain't right. Poor old dad does it all chatche the skunk - drives tractor day light to dark does all the brain work - keeps you two from wandering off he needs week or two off dad you the man!!!!

My mind is starting to wander.......😊

[@jeffhack6839]

You sure have found the sweet spot on the tension of the overhead door at the beginning of this video!!

[@churlburt8485]

Robert, I enjoyed your family history. When my ancestors first moved to Eastern Oregon they ended up on a piece of terrible dirt, sounds like your family had the same problem. They built a dam the first summer, it washed out during spring runoff, so they rebuilt it. The dam washed out a second time, and they decided they needed to find a better place to farm.

[@MF760]

When I was growing up Dad had an IHC 2 tone truck. The pin in the gearshift lever often wore out and the gearshift would come out in our hands. We learned how to stick it back in and by holding it so it didn't rotate we could still drive and shift gears.

[@curthazlett595]

Trouble here too at home. Heat pump down, no AC this summer unless I thorw some money at it. Its only 20 years old . Compressor locked up.

[@jimmclean160]

Hey Nick you should get your dad a try on that new tillage tool behind that air cart

[@wazza33racer]

Some heavy highway trucks had air throttles also, like a Series 1 Mack Superliner. Imagine using that with a crash box, doing compound splits with a 16 speed spicer...........not everyone can drive them. They are super super touchy!

[@apollorobb]

Well Hello From Oklahoma

[@seantaray7180]

Scott, don't sell yourself short... what you do is every bit as important if not more sometimes... keeping everyone else rolling... the fabricating and fixing.. just like fixing and upgrading the AC to keep that hot head brother of yours cool ( j/K Nick) And Bob.. loved the history lesson... maybe a close up tour of the old equipment left on the homestead sometime?

If I'm not mistaken I think that's a 70s coke bottle. Back in the 70s they put the date on the bottom of it. Check the bottom of the bottle and then see how much it's worth on ebay.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Hearing about and seeing your family homestead reminds me of my great grandparents homestead, which as far as I know is still standing. It’s too bad your family homestead wasn’t preserved. It would be a great thing for all Welker generations to be able to have a visual history of their families past.

Let us see more of Bob!

[@ke6gwf]

You might consider replacing the air throttle with a servo drive linear actuator, which is a pretty standard part for stuff like robotics, RC models, industrial automation etc. Then you get a servo driver and input control for it, and that can range from just a knob or wheel that you turn until you get the right speed, to a box with a display on it to tell you your exact throttle position (maybe in 0-100 percent format rather than direct RPM, but something that's repeatable in any case.) If you do just a knob input, basically the knob will be a rotary encoder, so each "click" of the knob will turn the servo a set number of degrees of rotation, and so you will have exact control over the throttle position. Should be able to get it all in 12 volt input.

[@brianm7837]

[@jeffreybroadbent7318]

We use to sow using 9 inch, then we bought a Khart disk seeder with 10 inch spacing . We decided to make the Khart wider going from 39 foot to 47 ft and 12 inch spacing. Used the same tractor Cat 55. Since then we have moved farm to a higher rainfall and better soils. Now we we are considering buying a different disk seeder with 7.5inch spacing to increase compition with the weeds.

[@AndreZA979]

Very inspirational family, really enjoy watching your channel.

[@greggb1416]

Loved the historical background on your Great Uncle & Grandpa.., and their plight to Montana. Quite a move for both, and change in weather, topography, etc., I could listen to that kinda stuff all day. As I watched and listened to you, and saw the remnants of the old structures, and equipment, couldn’t help but think how “sacred” that ground must be to you…, and I thought, if I was in your seat…, I would not feel like I needed to go to “church” on Sunday, I would just make a pass thru that ground, kneel and give thanks, it would be my own brand of “church”. Thank you “dad” (Mr. Welker)…. Nick I always like how you explain the seeding, plant growth, fertilizing, equipment operation etc., you are a young man, and obviously gotten great schooling from your gramps & dad, and you explain all that in a way that even a numb skull like me can understand. Scott, your talking about working with your dad & brother, brought tears to my 59yrs young eyes, I have to admit I am green with envy in what your family has there on that farm. Thank you all.
