As a farmer, I like the wagon you fixed up best. You will appreciate it more in the long run. Nice job. Quit beating yourself up.

[@leeroybodecker5025]

Awesome job

[@bohhica1]

Wouldn’t hurt to remove and repack the wheel bearings before it gets full and locks up on you as you are moving it. My opinion, great videos and jobs. Stay safe and healthy y’all!👍

[@rkthing55]

Great suggestion. And while the wheels are off, he could paint the rims. Make it look "purty"! LOL

[@BillTheTractorMan]

Wheel bearings on these type of wagons are so neglected. I'm just as guilty with mine. I always forget to do them until one fails. They always fail with a full load too it seems.

[@Bill_H]

I think you have a better wagon for having done what you did. I think silicone is a stop gap measure. You have a far more substantial wagon now!

[@miketulley809]

I am in constant awe at your skill level, be it electrical, welding, carpentry, fabricating, fence building, and mechanical.

[@footplate0]

I still feel that you had a great deal on the first feeder. For a little bit of work you have a feeder that will last at least 20 years if you maintain it (as you seem to do). If you work out how much money you will have saved in feed costs over the time it will last, then I think your in the money big time. Because you fixed it the right way you will have years of ease of mind because you know it was done right. If the other one has some silicone in it, well remove it and do what you did to the first one. A few hours spent now will save you days later on and that is without the cost of spoilt feed due to a tacky repair. Pete will be happy with the first feeder. Thanks for posting

[@DancerOfClouds]

I agree 100%

[@thanoschermerhorn4864]

You do such fine work...how much of a part of the job is Prayer??? I shall continue to watch future videos...Thank You...

[@jaywest4102]

Auction buys have a way of teaching us lessons. Hopefully we remember them next time we’re bidding. Unfortunately amnesia seems to run in my family.

[@johncarman6966]

You did a great job on the first feed wagon Evan. In a few years to come the work you have done will pay off. With the second wagon you will be cleaning out the old silicon in a couple of tears. Weld plates on the second one and respray it as you did with the first. You will then have two wagons that you can look at with pride. It's only a few more hours labour and a few dollars for extra materials. Having watched your videos for the past two years I can tell you are a stickler for perfection. It will be well worth the extra time and money.... with pride.

[@daleredmond6449]

That's the fabricator in you doing more than expected and from my point of view that is definitely a good thing. I'll lay odds that more work on the green bin will be coming.

[@letartcircuitrider118]

A job very well done! You are correct in some aspects, but you can take pride in what it took to complete it. Not everyone can do what it takes, you showed us. One of the best videos you’ve done. Keep them coming our way, I’d say Pete would be impressed! 😁

[@cajunnathan4586]

It is always best to replace metal instead of siliconing. You can still repair it cheaper than buying a new one

[@howdyshaun6139]

The red wagon was fixed up real nice, honestly, it looks great and will last many years with the repairs you made. You'll be able to walk past it all the time now and say to yourself "I did that" and know that it was fixed properly, and not with silicone.

[@nimabevis4509]

It does seem like 5 days is a big investment, with all the other work that goes into farming. But the ten years you'll get back from all that work really will pay off. Fun to watch the transformation of the wagon, Evan. Thanks for sharing the process with us!

[@bryanholden9853]

Great job 👍 Silicone is being lazy. Fix it right, and be done with it. I was impressed with the way you fixed the first one. Do the same to the second. Leave the silly Silicone to the weekend worriers. You have the shop and the know how to do it right . Be proud of your self. You're amazingly talented keep up the good work 👍

[@markhudspeth8503]

Agree 100 percent. An decal? Country View Acres on the back end. Love it

[@joannak4640]

I agree 💯!! Do it right now so you don't have to do it when you're old and maybe cant

[@kd5inm]

And add a slow moving vehicle sign. Repack those bearings and make sure its road worthy when its loaded.

[@dwightl5863]

@@kd5inm I have gotten the impression that with the delivered feed it won't see any road time.

[@kd5inm]

@@dwightl5863 I bet Evan will be pulling it around the farm.

[@usbpphillips]

You'll be happier with the one you fixed. The green one is still going to need paint and silicone is a temporary fix at best. You'll find that it's pulled loose and leaked when you start seeing wet/moldy feed after pulling it to the feed lot a few times.

[@lindajc123]

Even though you felt the feed wagon wasn't a good deal, you are blessed to be able to have the skills and equipment to fix it so it will last.

[@bc8968]

Evan: C’mon man: Value-$350 to restored value $1,500(minimum), spiritual value-priceless, you have renewed,restored, resurrected, in us the viewership, and ignited a spirit similarly to not only objects but people.this sense of making things better in the world for one another is priceless. Thankyou, you are a true blessing from God!

[@clintstegall1069]

Big Red will be more centamental, we all know, whenever we have blood sweat,and tears in something, we appreciate it more. Good job and a great asset to the farm.

[@r.briandarnbrough659]

Stop and think for a minute, you just saved a piece of antique farm equipment from going to the scrappers. Nice restoration job. Keep it up. Take a bow for what you did in 5 days, Brian in Canada

[@4knanapapa]

I've bought or been given alot of stuff over the years to repair and use or sell, sometimes it works out with little effort, sometimes it's oh crap, thankfully you have the ability, equipment and facility to make the repairs, great video.

[@garylollman5339]

I think you did the right thing on the red wagon. Welding in metal replacement strips will last longer than silicone the holes. Even on the green wagon welding in material is a much smarter thing than siliconing the holes. That the difference between someone with a welder than one without a welder. You got tool then use it to make the correct repair.

[@dougsbackyardgarden728]

That rusty old gravity wagon is going to be more value to you because of the content it provides. I enjoyed watching you fix it up. Keep on bringing us content like this!

[@DconBlueZ]

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

[@browmvp]

I love your videos but this is probably the best yet. With your skills, you should "properly" repair the second bulk wagon and forget silicon. Do the job properly and you'll have two feed wagons that will last for years and years and require virtually no maintenance. Perhaps it would be a good idea to look at the running gear whilst the wagons are empty.

Job well done , bringing old rusted equipment back helps with recycling

[@jason27swg]

great video. I have the same type set up. couple of suggestions. 1 check the wheelbesrings in both of them they may be good. I didn't one of mine was shot and didn't find out till it was full of feed. then again it's cheaper for me to pull to the feed mill rather than have them charge me for delivery. 2 when I made my roof which I did alot like you did and the wagon was filled with feed the sides expanded which caused my pt lumber to come apart at the screws. I got my router and cut slots and replaced with bolts to allow the wood to ride on the bolt when the chains were tight and as the load lowered the lumber was able to move in the groove......wish I would have thought about it I would have made it out of emt like your second trailer

My father always said “that a job worth doing is worth doing well from the Beginning!!! he would’ve been very proud of you for the job you did on the red wagon even though I know you’re frustrated right now for the money and time you spent but when I look at that wagon and when I watched you working on the wagon I watched a man who took pride in his work. I’ve seen a lot of men who have “jerry-rigged” & “patched”Their projects together & THEY LOOKED TERRIBLE!!!!!!! Your RED WAGON LOOKS BRAND NEW 😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️♥️ SO IMPRESSIVE♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Anybody would be happy to buy that wagon from you in the condition it looks compared as a green wagon. Honestly I think when you have let a little time go by you will be very proud as a red wagon and over the years you will definitely be proud of the red wagon!!❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ You did a very precise and thorough job and I was super impressed with the materials you used in the techniques. I was on a farm and a lot of times we didn’t have the money to do things right in the beginning and then as dad had more money I learned the difference not only between money but taking the time to do it correctly and I learned so much from him versus other men particularly some son-in-law‘s Who wouldn’t be bothered and couldn’t be bothered to do things correctly and so I am just majorly over the top impressed with the job you get on this red wagon and I want you to feel very good about yourself and the time and the skills you have to do what you did to make this scruffy looking wagon look BRAND NEW❣️ Truly IN LOVE w/ THIS RED WAGON OVERHAUL❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

As I watched this amazing transformation and your skills Evan, I thought about a future of you doing this for others, possibly after retirement if not a little before, since new equipment is very expensive and you have a unique skillset of repairing, transforming and extending the life of warn out equipment, for many more years. I'm sure there are many farmers in that area who have the skills, but maybe not the time to do this kind of transformation to older equipment, and it would be a win, win for you and them, with them saving money and you making money, on things like this. And now you have a video to show, or before and after pictures, and what you can do. Nice impromptu air show!
