We're Ready! FIRE IT UP! First Start With New Stacks!

[@SusFuss]

I don't know why I didn't start watching you sooner. You all have become one of my new favorite farming channels to watch. Please keep up the long content I love it!

[@WelkerFarms]

That means a lot! Thank you

[@jmazoso]

@@WelkerFarmsno, thank you!

[@SusFuss]

@@WelkerFarms Means a lot to me too to have great content to watch. SO.. I decided to snag a hoodie as well don't thank Scott for telling me to go to the store or anything either ;)

[@kevinbehan]

In a way I’m jealous of you, for the simple reason that there is such a back catalogue of content that you’re only discovering. Everything from the big bud restoration, the international restoration, making the screener, both house build series, the big brute conversions all the bin builds, the lake house restoration… and then the actual farming content, all the planting and harvesting. I’m just now realising that I’ve been watching you guys for the best part of 8 years!!

[@SusFuss]

@@kevinbehan I am actually very excited to go back and catch up

[@farmeralex2364]

Love the channel guys! I love how you all use teamwork to complete a task, whether its field work, fixing equipment or fabricating, you all complete a project together and i love that about this channel! Keep up the good work Welkers!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thank you!

[@diersirrigation]

It's great to watch you guys take older equipment and fix it up. Not all farmers can afford to own/lease all new stuff. Great job Bob and sons!

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another absolutely amazing and fantastic video. It was super interesting and informative and certainly enjoyable to watch and follow along!!!!! Congratulations on starting your new engine and hearing it run - - yeah!!!!!!!!!!:: I am so pleased for all three of you after all of your hard work!!!!!! I am amazed at all of the items you are taking care of as you get towards the end of the project. You make note of an item that needs doing, you then make or redesign the part, install it and press on to the next item. Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!! You are getting close to the end. Watching you three get this truck project completed and on the road has been an amazing journey. These truck project videos have been some of your best. Wonderful!!!!! Anxious to see the finished project and you all getting the truck on the road. Saw a short video today that mentioned you could use some rain moisture. I am sending my prayers and blessings to you for rain moisture for your crops. You all take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@garymorgenroth1734]

I DO NOT THINK THERE IS A BUSINESS ANYWHERE THAT COULD AFFORD YOU GUYS SKILLS. AWESOME AND VERY PROUD OF THE BOTH OF YOU. BLESSINGS

[@hokie9910]

I’m not sure there’s a business that could afford to not employ them!

[@eddieearll1296]

That Kit Cat sounds so good. Job well done and you should be proud of your awesome accomplishments.

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

The blue on this Pete looks great. You could say it's the "Welker Farms Corporate Color".......

[@stumpy2816]

You guys are my idols. Very intelligent mechanically inclined farmers. Can't be better. 👍👍

[@wpursuit]

You know we were all waiting for the engine to run and the smiles that came with it!! Well done. Hoping the rain finds you. Je

[@guzzimon61]

Awesome credit to Scott for rewiring that system !! Not a simple job knowing what is needed and what is not !

[@glenngerun8240]

You guys are terrific, best wishes & weather for future success for your family, from a country boy from Westlock Alberta, cheerio

[@WelkerFarms]

Thanks so much!

[@bushdog64]

How exciting to see (BLUE STEEL) coming alive again. Keep up the great videos.

[@richardkowalke4979]

What a great sense of accomplishment, hearing that beauty fire up !!!! Great job, guys !!!!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

WOW SURE DOES SOUNDS AMAZING.....Thanks Dad Scott and Nick.= GOD BLESS EVERYBODY....... Old F-4 II Pilot in my 80's Shoe🇺🇸

Love the F4! Very cool.

[@Ralph94967]

guys you all did it again fantastic Truck engine sounds real sweet Pa Welker is gonna be real happy running that rig

[@deanoz9307]

Look fantastic guys! It looks like y’all received a good little rain today. This year is the one guys!

[@WelkerFarms]

Can't wait!

[@zedhead2864]

So happy to see that you Guys got a little rain today. YAY!

[@mtcelticharper]

Three tenths! Unfortunately a huge windstorm came immediately after and sucked most of that precious moisture back. 😢

[@Alex-k1u7k]

Nick is definitely the master wrench man!! The way you guys are not afraid to tackle projects like this is awesome! Its funny though how nick always gets crammed under or inside of the truck in some tight space when legarms is just haning out up top tighting a screw or something!!😂😂 All joking aside all of you guys are awesome and so talented!

[@550hpW900L]

New favorite channel right here! Love this series with the 377! It’s definitely a clean truck!

[@WelkerFarms]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@garfield1517]

I have been a viewer for along time. Today I was thinking, as Nick was working on the truck, how much his comfort level has grown over the time. Leg-arms on the other hand has always been a natural.

[@thomasbritten7216]

Farm shops like yours are the kind that actually make money

[@haroldbenton979]

You've already got a replacement heater core for this truck. The 378 377 379 shared the same cab and frame the only difference was the hood and fenders on them.

[@OGBamBam-06]

Yes! Way to go fellas. Sounds like America

[@transmitterguy478]

😂Farmers have to get it done, one way or another. They have crops or seeds waiting. Farmers been doing it that way forever. America's backbone. Great work fellas, keep up the good work.🚜

[@wallysprint]

22:49 you gotta love Mr Welker, always makes me smile :)

[@TheRealSchmitty]

Greetings from Germany! We are starting here with haymaking, and the thunderstorms are comming

[@georgebeard6886]

Glad y’all proved the square peg will fit in the round hole once again. Nice ride

[@erictrace]

I am amazed at how far you guys have come over the years, your videography has grown over the years and I will always appreciate your work. I have loved watching all your special projects over the years, my favorite will always be Big Brute!

[@therealjoey724]

I personally use shell rotella and I love it

[@deblarsen8528]

Hey you guys! This is one AWESOME video! When you were cranking it over I was chanting "come on....START" I actually held my breath! When it started it sounded absolutely sweet! Can't wait to see what happens next! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy!

[@wallysprint]

23:42 "the ground is down there Scott, you are standing on it.." XD witty Welkers...

[@davidcolgan3268]

So much in this video. I enjoy all the wrenching and the problem solving that you all do! I remember the days, many years ago, when my hands and clothes resembled Nick’s. On the electrical side, tell Leg-Arms I think it’s the white wire. 😂 on a little more serious note, it appeared that you used lock washers when you attached the new spring support brackets. One of my first projects when I was hired by a major as equipment manufacturer was to conduct a test on holding power of various fastener combinations, above 1/2”. Using a spring lock washer actually yields a “soft” joint that results in the potential of an untight joint (bolt not stretched). I suggest throwing away all lock washers and torquing appropriately for a given size fastener. Also, a little lube on the threads will ensure that you get to proper torque. And lastly, your Dad is such a hoot!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

That old truck is coming together beautifully 😍

[@WelkerFarms]

It sure is!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

[@joesilvasr9733]

The minute that I saw the come along cable wrapped around the spring I bid it a fond farewell. Ask me how I know😂😂😂

[@howardhill9528]

Done lots of those pins and bushings and hangers . I have seen the grease pin worn over 1/2 the way thorough. As a mechanic I earned a good living with a grease gun . Surprise how many pins would not take grease. Good honest day of hard work . Thanks for sharing

[@cliftonmcdaniel2401]

Nothing like turning that key on new engine and it fires up. Congratulations on job well done.

Except it is the same engine from the old truck, just painted.

The reason i never miss an episode......best representation of "built not bought" farming

[@domforte2966]

looks like the cab shocks are toast too

[@TheKulforsHomestead]

Been watching your videos since 2019. You really have one of the best channels on KZbin! It is always interesting, inspiring and fun. Thanks to you guys, I dared to started my own farm. :) At the moment, I am mostly growing potatoes and strawberries. But the dream is to get a combine and start growing some barley and canola. Big thanks for the videos so far, I have learned a lot! I wish you a great harvest for 2024.

[@sstransportexpressllc8223]

Nothing beats the sound of a straight piped CAT

[@alexveldhuis6004]

Indeed, but I am looking at where they sit and it looks to me like they now have mirrors full of stack. They're well away from the cab side.

[@ScottArmas107]

Agreed.

As a life long springer spaniel fan i love your dog, reminds me of a long lost friend

[@thomasanderson1783]

Truck looks amazing! Polish the tanks and it will really pop

[@danrose3233]

Ah yah, comealong on a leaf spring had me scared for a bit. I had a bottle jack on an ibeam on main rail of a 14k trailer once in order to reweld. The first seemed a little sketchy but worked fine. The 2nd one seemed better positioned and needed to move less prior to welding...well It came off and split my lip and nearly knocked me out.

[@LilyandOllieTv]

9:25 That's why I use Castrol GTX 5w-30 honestly probably one of the best motor oils that you can use

[@timothyabraham2228]

Ur dad, standing in front of motor with a speed wrench, to attempt to CRANK the motor over was way to funny !!! 😂 yall did an excellent job turning that truck around(upgrades and repairs), BUT it needs a WELKER FARMS decal on the doors !!!

[@danieldrummond7400]

Awesome video guy always so interesting. From down under in New Zealand

[@ACE-ek5bo]

Nick. I worked at the largest Surface Coal Mine in Wv. I was in maintenance for 20 years, if we had a oil cooler go bad, we would put a box of Calgon water softener in it and let it run for 30 minutes and repeat till no oil was on top of water in radiator, it took about 3 times. It’s cheaper and faster, great video !

[@peteschram9524]

I always used Calvin as well cleans the system out every time

[@amatthews8827]

Electrical contact cleaner is the best thing to use instead of ether. It doesn’t vapor lock. Case or Deere are the best to use.

[@markwalker5231]

Great vid, love the truck work. You need some weather flaps on the exhaust to keep the rain out.

[@adamjackson9586]

Sounds Mint!

Nick, Your "buddy" IS really cool. What a smile!

Lol watching this morning and got a laugh seeing scott pull the hose out only to put about 25-30 different “leaks” on the block. Done that many times

If the farming thing doesn’t work out, me thinks you could do well as mechanics. Well done!

[@StevenOrsini-j5c]

Nice to see you build things

[@matthewhooker3193]

Awesome job you guys. No need for a muffler it sounds crisp and sharp. Once you get the fuel pump adjusted you gotta put it on the dyno before you adjust it and then again after. A 10% increase should give you at least 500 ponies all day!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thanks! Will do!

[@clarkegarage4452]

No hate just some friendly advice next time take to chisels and there should be a split in them aluminum blocks that go to the holes for the pins use the chisels and open them up just alittle bit and they will fall right on no problem like I said no hate
