don't forget to stick cool logo on that truck 😄 i suggest one from "Welker Farms Leather Patch" hat

And this is why I think the Welkers succeed where others fail. They don't care about the latest greatest, just useable stuff that can help the farm. I love their humble nature

Glad you enjoyed it!

I love that these guys buy older stuff and keep it running. Real farmers. God bless you guys.

[@died4us590]

Thanks for not accidentally killing Nick, because we love all you Welker's, and don't want anything to happen to any of you. Those CAT engine's from that time are still good long lasting engine's. I love that you find old gems like this. So much of this knew equipment is junk and over engineered with the def of death. G-d bless.

[@larrydavidson3402]

The Welker farm is so good at refurbishing things. More people should follow their lead. Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hokie9910]

Absolutely brother. Too many people spending money they don’t have to get payments they don’t need. Buy used, pay cash, refurbish. Only way to go.

Love these projects! A Freightliner with a Cat engine and Allison transmission for $3,000? SOLD! The hoity toity people who live on the coasts don't understand the fun and profit these projects can bring! LEAD on Welker Farms! How long before some "greenie" tells you you can't run a great old truck like that?

You guys really are the best fixing ans fabricators on KZbin.

Couple of chain hooks on the top of the bucket are a lifesaver for ease of keeping stuff away from the from the front of the tractor.

Love the winter Weldin & wrenchin. It’s a great addition to the farming field work.

Grilles are Replaceable. Tires and Rims are also replaceable. Bad Construction can be Fixed 😊 3:25

I love the fixing and building videos even more than the farming ones. Great work!

[@d-and-routdoors9055]

Love the horn on that bad boy!! Love to see a farming family work together and having fun while doing it. I love the part where Scott is eating chips!

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

My experience with the 3126, you won't have to worry about to much power! I used to build grain trucks for farmers and I loved the FL freightliner. Plenty of room under the cab to run linkage for the dump valve instead of cable that seize up and need replaced every 2 years! Some guys will tell you that you can't make a 10 wheeler with a FL70, but we built several of them. Even put a air tag on one to make a trip axle. Just all around nice trucks!

[@shealy265]

You could expand the chicken pen with the side panels/roof off the bed.

[@ΓιωργοςΚαλογερόπουλος-π8υ]

Excellent idea

[@eddiebaughman2809]

This is right up your guys alley. Taking something old and make it work for your use. Always awsome and love seeing you all working together

[@adamsherm29]

I love my FL70 that I deliver with. She's a monster. Oldest truck in the fleet and by far the most reliable. No DEF, dual tanks and wicked heat. Can run her on flat ground about 73. So awesome!! I will have to send a picture. 6 speed manual, and tons of power. Heaviest day I can remember was about 12k worth of beer.

[@anneoreilly4900]

Thanks for another great video Welkers. It was interesting and enjoyable. As always, wonderful work Welkers redoing this truck. Is a really nice truck yet, got lots of life yet. Good buy. You all did a great job of redesigning the truck bed for your water truck. You folks are amazing at building and redoing equipment. The truck bed turned out great. Nice work Welkers!!!!!!! Always did like those Freight Liners!!!!! Good old trucks to do the job. There you go Bob, nice new truck rebuilt for your water carrier. Thanks for everything Welkers. Enjoyed watching you redo this truck. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over you all. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍🙏🇺🇸

[@1953travis]

It was a Nobel thing you did putting that stack back on the Freightliner you don't see much of it anymore not straight out the side. or straight back but in-between at a 45, she got lots of care in short order I'm sure even without the video...

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

If that was Robert who cut that trailer apart by himself. That was a lot of work. Good for you. You are an inspiration to a lot of us.

That CAT engine should be a good one. You mentioned that it has an Allison transmission. It should be a good transmission as well. That is an impressive truck. It should get the job done on your farm. 👍🏻

I am 100% a city slicker. I'll drive through farm areas to get to different cities. I'm in Ontario, far far away from you fine gents, but, I do appreciate what you do. I continue to watch this channel not only for the iron work you do to your vehicles for maintaining, but also for the friendly jabbing you guys do at each other. I genuinely laughed at the annoying brother antics done. It was awesome. (I have two younger brothers, so yeah...) Keep it up gents! And good luck with the new homes!

[@evanyount9173]

As an Ag Mechanics teacher, I love the about of fab and mechanical work you show on your channel. Especially compared to other farming channels, makes y'all one of my favorites to watch! Would love to see your whole setup.

But with commodities being what they are, if the Women don't find you Handsome, they better find you Handy 😂 That's a line from the Red Greene show 😅 And Scott those jeans you are wearing, that you just burnt and wore holes in are now worth about 300 bucks in the stores where teenagers shop. So don't throw them out! Plus spray Rhino liner on the frame for rust protection, would be a good option too.

[@WelkerFarms]

😁 Good stuff!

[@EJHarrop]

Thank you and God bless.

[@tituspullo1957]

Could you take the low profile tires off and put larger tires on those rims to give you more clearance.I'm sure you have extra tires around that might not be road worthy but would still be good enough for around the farm.What would determine that would be if there is enough clearance between the bed and the larger tires.

[@WelkerFarms]

When these wear out we might look into that. Would be nice to have a few more inches of clearance under it.

[@BruceBergman]

Fix the Air conditioner - its perfect for efficient 23:32 Defrost when humidity is high and keeping smoke out when using the Fire Tamer. 😊

[@douglaskuhn3781]

[@rogerkincaid4535]

Good video. You know you could take that cage material and put it back together on the ground. Take a small shed and put inside it or at the end of it, get some chickens, give the kids a chore to do. You'll have eggs for the families on the farm. Just a suggestion.

Great buy, great job for bad weather and look at all the steel and mesh for other projects. Great truck for all the kid's to learn to drive and of course water 💧 all your lawns and vegetable garden 😀 👍 👌

Using only 3" steel for bearers for the tray won't be enough to give you decent wheel clearance above your dual rear wheel Especially when you load it up with any heavy loads !!

[@randybedker1584]

What would be cool is set the chasis up so you can change out the box to flat bed or anything you need. Check out farming fixing and fabricating channel . He sets up the trucks builds the different boxes . Has so very in depth videos . Because then the truck can be used year round if needed not just 3-4 months. The setups he uses makes easy to change .

When you go to get injectors for the 7140, I know a place to get some really good ones that make that tractor run.

[@raymondwilson9683]

Hey nick just to let you guys in on that cat engine you have in that freight shaker you got . The fuel system operates like a 6.0 powerstroke the injector fire with high oil pressure pump they have similar problems with sensors and pump. Other than that that is a cool truck.

[@RA-sz5tu]

pretty nice dog run you just tore off that truck bed

[@cojones8518]

Condenser actually, condenses the hot gas back into a liquid before going back to the pump. The evaporator is under the dash because it evaporates the high pressure liquid into a gas and absorbs heat making the cab cooler.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

I have had the opportunity over the years to drive a couple of freight freight. You get in that binder that Peterbilt you'll serve rocks at that frieghtliner

I had already thought about it when you said it, it would be good if you use it as fire truck (not a real fire truck of course) in case you have crop fires. Especially since your new houses are close to the crops.
