Welker Farms Inc can’t wait

[@farmershady48]

Great Job Nick and Leg-Arms and of course your Dad Robert well done.

[@FrenchieFrench1555]

I agreee

[@paulcopeland9035]

@@farmershady48 ...Your opinion "dose" not matter !

[@sorenh.2991]

OK thanks 👍

[@iambigfoot8640]

Filmed so well as usual almost like watching a tv show

[@FrenchieFrench1555]

Better than any TV show

[@HU1212ICAN3]

If they chopped it up less and got rid of the 10 or so welker farms logos they throw in throughout the video, itd be great! Lol.

[@harared831]

Discovery Channel next.

[@rburli]

The craftsmanship of those tractors are unbelievable. With the TLC and mechanical knowledge you all possess. There is no reason they would not run forever. Thank you for allowing all of us to be part of the journey of this project

[@jamesharmon5963]

I’m glad to see your dad is getting more involved in the channel. There’s nothing I enjoy more than working with my sons. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@danielroark2419]

LMAO just like Bob from Brian's Farming Videos the Closed Captioning (CC) is Awesome and Hilarious!! Leg Arms Apparently Broke the Bakery. Hollywood said "where do we start?" Which transformed into "oh where it's dirt"! Too funny! Keep up the Great Work Guys!!

[@handymansteve]

youtube autocaptions are crazy at times... ive noticed that too

[@nwfarmer8724]

My dad has always had a soft spot for these big buds. There has only been one in our area back in the 80's but it sure would be fun to rebuild one and have it as a extra tractor!

[@dannydeshler4327]

Looking great guys...all of us back East are watching your journey with this great tractor, it's gonna be cool watching her pulling some huge implement this spring. One thing that may help with the lighting coupler you have under the hood, apply just a tiny dab of dielectric grease (get it at the parts store) on each of the pin connectors, we use it a lot on our UTV's when mud bogging, it does a great job of keeping the water out of those "waterproof" connectors. Keep up the great work, there are thousands of us out here keeping up with your every move.

[@janfrankena1440]

loving it when two brothers working like you two together, i know for sure that this is all what you can wish as Dad!

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

If you keep on caring about your Big Buds like this, they'll look like new in over five decades...😉👍🏻

[@johnperkins630]

this channel takes me back... Home town is Wolf Point and been to Shelby soooo many times its not funny. Live in the deep south now but nice to see the spirit and ingenuity I grew up with. Makes me feel like I am home again. Keep up the great work. Thanks y'all

[@witty1764]

Of all the farming you tube channels that I watch and have seen I think this one is by far looking the most professional not only with the editing but also with the camera work.

[@jake2063]

As excited as all of you on Welker Farm to see the BIG BUD 525/50 up and running again and ready to be a productive piece of equipment for many years to come. I love your videos... God Bless you and your families. An awesome video for Thanksgiving would be to share one of the entire Welker family. Maybe a sitdown around a dinner table and just share your thoughts and blessings. God Bless the Welker family and America's farmers. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you at Welker Farm and all your incredible viewers. God Bless America!!

[@SirDigger420]

Hey Legarms look for "soldering 3rd hand" at amazon, add a magnet at the base. and soldering alone on equipment is a piece of cake.

[@zedhead2864]

I've been thru many so called third hand tools . Skip all the frustration, and get the best. www.quadhands.com/

[@repalmore]

In southwest Idaho the fields are so small that you couldn't use such a large tractor. It's rare to see a 12 bottom plow much less a large tractor. It's cool that the Big Bud is such a heavy duty tractor and is so versatile that any engine/transmission works in it. Makes the tractor much more valuable in the long run.

[@Tom-Carraher-Fla]

It’s really nice to see all three of you guys work together,everyone doin their job!you boys are lucky!

[@j.u.s.tjeremy7098]

Big Bud drifting in the snow... YEaH!! Looking forward to seeing it!!!

[@alanstant9356]

From what i know and seen guys, you always make something work. You guys have everything you need to make modifications. You guys always pull the impossible. Thanks guys for sharing.

[@gypsyrider3748]

Glad your back Legarms ....... the farm missed you lots!

[@randyruppel6727]

Gotta love a K at idle. 6 1/4" bore and stroke, PT fuel system, elegant in a simple, robust 1150 cubic inch package. Oh and the Bud is nice too! Haha. Looks good boys, ready to see it at rpm, loaded up pulling some shanks and

[@meden1000]

What a fantastic job you have done on restoring / upgrading the Big Bud - Hope it turns out to be a great asset to the farm

[@williamburnett6616]

congratulations on your newborn, I hope everyone is going well. Your Dad and leg Arms and you are fun to watch.

[@otintc]

Sharp Sharp looking Big Bud can’t wait to see it all decal out ! Still say a “Stainless Steel Visor” would set it apart from all others ! Welker Farms could be the first to do so .

[@williamuskoski1385]

This would look good if done right

[@heindrichdyer8294]

Must be one of my fav ep. Not because of the restoration but the filming and editing was absolutely amazing, well done. I guess you need to go the next level once you've reached 300k, congrats from South Africa.

[@Ken_Stauder]

I jumped, was not ready for her roar, nice work, lookin forward to the big bud snow drifting :o)

[@ruralconservative6625]

Levi! So happy for you and Kathleen

[@patrickmurphy9115]

Great work shop, I can understand the logistics of working on the farm but all you guys have great workshop knowledge especially Bob..and Leg Arms....well maybe Nick as well. Keep it up...

[@tannerdewitt5267]

Looks like you guys are on a reality tv show now! Keep up the good work!

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

What a great video! It’s amazing to see how well your family gets along. Also, great videography whoever is holding the cameras is doing a great job.

[@davemiller6925]

Another great video Nick, nice to see that beast about to be unleashed back onto the farm. I am a John Deere guy, but thanks to your videos I now have a soft spot for those Big Buds. It would be so cool if You and the Williams Brothers could cut a deal that would let the Big Bud 747 visit Welker Farms. God Bless you and the entire family. Congrats on little Levi!!

[@GMC-lr4jj]

Awesome to see it finally start. Sounds amazing guys. Well done!

[@bathursttrainspotting]

Another great video guys. Love the new temporary filming techniques. Keep up the great work.

[@ThePurdah]

You fellas do amazing work on your restorations! No shortcuts and things are done to last. I really love the pride you guys take in your work! That beast is a beauty! I can't wait to see the finished product! I got goosebumps when you lit 'er up..! Wow!!

[@rowan2128]

The big bud is just amazing! I love how you, legarms, and Robert was all working on the bud! Now that’s what I call a family project! When you guys fired that big bud up it out a huge smile on my face!! I can’t wait to see part ten! I am super excited to see the bud completed! I want to see the bud down my snow donuts! Wouldn’t that be called snownuts? Lol god bless Welkers and be safe!!

[@stoneshrink]

I think you missed an opportunity - you could have put 1/2" air lines to that seat.... you would have needed a sun roof but then you'd have an ejection seat that would rival the cannon....

[@WelkerFarms]

Why don't we think of these things!!!! Grrr

[@joshuabrown2543]

So when they fire leg arms, remote ejection seat

[@JL-yl8gd]

Joshua brown for real great idea! Find some way to remote activate it. Avoid confrontation by just launching him out of the tractor and let him figure it out.

[@andrewinbody4301]

That's funny right there.

[@lawrencewillard6370]

Consider that he reads these blogs, maybe he can reverse engineer for different results?😎

[@incontruth4116]

I’ve been waiting for this. As a farmer I know there’s no such thing as a set schedule. Mother Nature makes our schedule wether we like it or not.

[@ohiobackwaterboys8998]

I would like to see you guys with a segment on discovery channel or something, more people need insight on what goes on in the farming industry! Love the channel!

[@barryaitchison5565]

excellent glad the big buds nearly done will be nice to see it finished

[@michaelrussell6661]

So close Big Bud looking awesome. Job well done by all

[@josephhicks1006]

Super Nice! Keep the press on. Looking forward to the finished product

[@WBOS72]

The split loom is amazing stuff, use it to protect wiring. Love that new seat, and the interior. Great video guys. God bless.

[@jeffatkerson1172]

This will be around forever! Excellent!

[@petercole2339]

I really like the perspective of having someone else hold the camera! Glad to see this beast back up n running!

[@jimdavis1165]

You guys have mad skills. I'm always impressed with your craftmanship.

[@BorisFett]

The addition of a camera person is really stepping up your production. Also i know you already filed this but Bosch electrical connectors are awesome ways to have water proof connectors and they work well.

[@ruffnutz71]

The Bud is looking good , Hi from Australia. oh , and you may want to fill in the gap between the headlights and the grill surround or you'll likely get big chunks of chaff n straw fly through there. Cheers.

[@brokenot]

Deutsch connectors - easy to work with and completely reliable! Go take a peek at a boom lift or rough terrain scissor lift and see what they're using to connect the wiring harnesses to the control boxes. (Your older electric scissor lift probably uses them too...if it hasn't been retrofitted.)

[@kylecube15]

I will give a plus one on the deutsch connectors i always have a kit of them around you never know

[@michaeltaylor9474]

Congratulations on the baby

[@CustomCutterDK]

So at 5:50. There better be a video of that! Good job on the Bud!

[@Irishguy075]

This thing is going to look badass! It seems like all the jobs that Nick keeps starting ends up getting finished by Leg Arms??Lucky you hired that guy back on I guess. Love the channel and all the content

[@thecman26]

Great idea, if you don't use the radio... Put in a satellite radio! It's an amazing thing! Especially since you soundproofed the cab....

[@alexisdelisle4797]

The sound of this tractor is incredible

[@willy5664]

Yes 👍

[@chadshafer8095]

Glad to see you are getting more of this done. This tractor looks Better everytime you have more videos of it. You guys are Awesome.

[@BIGTRUCK7.3]

Really like the camera work on this one. Keep up the good work

[@BroHay1025]

"thinking chair", I also sit when trying figure something out when I'm not sure the best way to do it. Especially with things electrical. It also saves time in the end (even though it looks like you are doing nothing.......) CONGRATS on you son, and God Bless!

[@remmiemax3624]

Excellent! Was "exhausting" work but you prevailed....good thing, no birds or bugs only snow flies 😉

[@adamcudworth2703]

I love how you guys have gotten more creative with your videos, looks great!!

[@andrewlathrop1553]

It looks so nice with out the Decals but can't wait to see it done

[@Nathan-pw7do]

I can't believe how good the interior turned out 👍

[@billsexton4811]

I can’t wait to see it done . I love seeing you all work together to achieve one goal . Great video Nick ! I love seeing your father on your videos !

[@mrmikeyd2]

Being in Alabama I never see snow..........I don't know whether I would like living in it like you do in Montana but it is nice to watch........from sunny and 60 degrees here

[@liamvanstraten878]

I love the filming style of this video! Made me feel like I was watching a restoration tv show! Keep up the great work guys!

[@jy7022]

It was cool to see this new style of filming. Just like watching a tv show but in my opinion i like your old style better which seemed more personal to me. Just my two cents. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ubatracker1976]

I got goose bumps when it started !!

[@reeepingk]

Always fun watching you guys. As for the 4 pin waterproof connector for 5 wires... you could always just make one of the wires into a "signal" wire used to activate or deactivate a relay which would then either turn the blinkers or hazards on, but not both simultaneously. That'd save you a wire running through the... uh... firewall?... frame? But you'd need to have some relays up exposed to the elements in the hood. Although it looks like you solved it by splicing one of the wires into another. Or you could use the frame as ground (are the frames ground in tractors?)

[@mathewwalworth5236]

Looking good guys! And just to give Mr. Hollywood Hard Time that stuff is called wire loom

[@nathanlivengood974]

Beautiful sound when the old girl fired up.

[@Bigstrapper]

These edition skills are unreal.. there isnt a single you tube channel im subscribed to that has the skills like this not trying to be rude to everyone else i watch but damn welkers you guys are killin it

[@kenholland7204]

Nick looking at Leg arms like "how you do that" 😁. Great video and thank you. God Bless.

[@steppefarm3601]

wow a camera operator. yall are getting fancy. loved the video. definitely changed up from the usual. keep em coming. God bless

[@shawnfloyd5757]

Love this channel! The music always works too! She's a big tractor! There's a lot of items made nowadays that has more plastic then steel...unfortunately.

[@casey5711]

What a GREAT Team you all are 😀👍🏾🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@rodsmith3244]

Love the thinking chair.

[@noc8076]

Look into Deutsch connectors. Watertight, use a crimp, easy to work with and is a standard on many lights. When soldering, exhale slowly to blow the smoke away from your face. :)

[@jameslcoble248]

It's great seeing it almost complete. It was phenomenal to hear it fire up. Stay safe and warm. Ready for the next video.

[@aaronspicer949]

I've been so ready to see her fired up, looks awesome great job. I love the old iron ready to see it complete and in the field this coming season fingers crossed

[@wry569]

Chill bumps when the Stud Bud came to life!!!

[@Czecher262]

Well done. Your content is first rate and I enjoy watching all this work being invested into this fabulous machine.

[@lonepine5596]

You guys are awesome! Such amazing talents!

[@Justan_Oobie]

Another awesome video. Glad to see the big girl recovering.

[@jamesburba1995]

It's so good to see Big Bud coming together ! I love that tractor.

[@christianweaver8132]

I can’t wait till spring when this beast gets put to work. Great work guys. God bless

[@Stromberg91]

I really love your videos There is something about you guys, you are so genuine and nice Would die to meet you someday Love from an truck driver in Sweden, Keep it up 👍❤️😁

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Love our followers across the pond. Thanks 👍

[@Stromberg91]

We have a saying in sweden that sums up your great work. Best thing since sliced bread

[@jamesthomas3749]

Hahaha!!! nick the look on your face when Scott got that water proof connector to work. Priceless! 🤣😂🤣 I think it was at 13:40

[@bapsfontein]

One of the best Farm channels on KZbin....blessings from South-Africa..

[@BigSmiles214]

Make sure to tighten the flex pipe to the muffler. It was leaking when you started it

[@samuelwalch9264]

It’s really close to being ready it looks like I can,t wait for next video

[@RubenKelevra]

13:40 those connectors are great, but they are only designed for a single double insulated wire. If you want a watertight seal on them you need the type with a rubber plate with holes in it, where you stick the single leads through.

[@ML-lg4ky]

Congrats on the epic growth of the channel! And the baby boy!!

[@mtcelticharper]

It's been a wild week for Welker farms!

[@hunter7476]

Yay it’s here I’m so happy for you and your progress on this great tractor God bless take care guys and congrats on the baby nick

[@Frangus_]

Really nice having someone filming. Lets you show more of you guys working instead of explaining what you are going to do or have done. Like it a lot. 👍

[@johnmorgan4017]

Waytek or delcity wiring. You can get what are called weather pack connectors and the tools for the pins. They are nice you can order in bulk. The connector housing work with a lot of wire sizes. Get pins and seals for all diff sizes. Just make up weather tight connections wherever.

[@avatarjo1]

Wow what a beautiful looking machine.

[@levifield8987]

Love the big buds!! But I have to add that a new Case Quadtrac is around that 100 lbs per hp mark 😉

[@johnnyboy830]

Coming together really well. Love that new seat looks really sharp.

[@arctictundra907]

Hello - I am from the future. You might want to check the bearing on the drawbar XD ....huge fan from Alaska! Take care and God bless!

[@trucksmashtv]

You guys should get a big bud 950/50 if its available, that would be AWESOME!!!

[@131dyana]

Watching you guys is really interesting.

[@lukeris5782]

Oh, wow, I wonder who is behind the camera. Looks really good!!! :)

[@Ham68229]

Tractors of today are nothing more than electronics and plastic. Tractors of yesteryear, still rule for some of us farmers. Cheers :)

[@clinthochrein888]

She's coming along nicely! Can't wait for part 10.
