BIG BUD Tractor Restoration - 2019 Time-Lapse

Yup dad should get 600/50 . That tractor is absolutely beautiful

[@jamesholmes5631]

I truly love you aren't afraid to show your love of Jesus. Thanks guys.

Dad is the master and commander, he should drive whatever he chooses.

I love the fact you guys are Christians and farmers. The world needs more of us Christians. But God Bless you guys. May he bless you in all you do!

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

My fingerprints were probably on that tractor when it left the factory in 79 - I worked in the parts department pulling kits for the factory next door. Besides picking parts, I unloaded tires that were delivered, shuttled CV joints from parts to the paint shop and moved via forklift engines to final assembly.

[@WelkerFarms]

I wouldn't doubt it! ☺

[@Bigjoe29]

Wow that's amazing

@Talisman1957 hello how are you doing ?

Clarence (Blackie) Gomke passed away about a couple of months ago in Great Falls.

Dad deserves it. Better money spent on the Big Bud than newer equipment. I'm really impressed with the interior work. I would not have the patience for that.

[@mikemcilroy3800]

Dad should get the one he wants!

That's what i said too. ha ha

I totally agree dad should get his choice. Now it's time to build a competition pulling tractor. Need more pulling events in the western states. Lucas Oil help.

This, the best maschine with the most comfort goes to the most senior operator. Our close to retirement operators mostly get a new excavator/Truck 3 years before retirement. Holywood and Legarms can ride it when senior wont climb the ladder anymore.

Repair, Rebuild, Recycle, Restore then Replace. This is how I became a very wealthy man. Not only did you save money from buying brand new piece of very expensive equipment you get the satisfaction that you did a job well done. It is always great to see people use their hands and their minds to get ahead in life. This was a beautiful restoration. Stay warm and dry my friends.

Thank you and God bless!

Another masterpiece by Welker Brothers and Dad Restoration Shop. Leg arms makes machining parts look so easy. I have done enough machine work to know I have no idea how to do machine work. Just amazing. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're an artist.

[@billireland2029]

God bless you and your families! That was a huge undertaking and it looks great! Keep the scriptures coming!!

May the blessings of the Lord be with you as plant your 2020 crop. I will be excited to see the Big Bud going through the field because it was a labor of love and you guys did a grand job of restoring the twice loved tractor.

[@jeffbuller6708]

Seems like Dad should be the one to drive the 600/50 in the spring.

[@jdfarmspulling398]

Agreed, he didn't get to run beast bine so he should run this!

[@sevans1178]

I'm sure you guys will give your dad his pick. Very nice job amazing. You guys literally saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in avoiding the purchase of a new tractor. Farmers across the country should take notes.

[@dniboc7227]

It is amazing to see the amount of work put into this. Your skills and ethic are at a level most people can not imagine. An absolute pleasure to watch.

[@moman0166]

I feel the presence of the Lord in every video you guys make. It is like going to the well and getting a cool drink of water on a warm day. Thank you for your faith and what it means to everyone who watches. Our world seems to be taking a turn for the darkness but there will always be those who carry the light that exposes the darkness. Thank you for your light.

It's awesome and inspiring to see a good Christian family working together. And I say papa bear gets to choose his ride.

[@makingithappen9722]

It's great to see so far 2 generations working towards the same goal. There will be a third generation working on the farm faster than you can imagine. The children learn early to later take over the farm. This has been the case for centuries and it will continue. This is what has kept farming going through eternal times.

[@mattlies7426]

Dad should drive whatever he wants, he is the man.

[@Paulman50]

This small snip shows non farmers what it takes to be a farmer : painter, machinic, electritriian, auto electrician, horticatrailist, accountant, animal husbandry, builder, plumber, the list goes on. That's a lot of work guys, thanks for the show.

You guys truly are Masters of the Craft. I wish I would have had a good head on my shoulders when I was younger. I could have had my Grandad's Kinberger Family Farm. Things happen. But your videos and farming take me back to the good days that I remember. Keep doing what you do. And God Bless. Your Biggest Indiana Fan, Jocko.

First, give Dad the new one! :-) My parents took me to Farm Fest when I was probably 15. Way back in the 1970's. I remember getting up in a Big Bud and being amazed at the size of it and how big the cab was! You could walk around in there! Then I never saw another and didn't know anything about them until I started watching your channel. Thanks for the memories you all. Good work on the rebuild!

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

I know that you're keeping a really sharp eye on the Quad Tracs, but I really hope that the Big Buds will last another lifetime, or two... 😊👍🏻

If it wasn't for dad there wouldn't be big buds. You can see where I'm going with this. Respect, consideration and appreciation is what it's all about.

Especially love the family comradery you guys enjoy! Your farms is a great role model for the millennials interested in agriculture !!!!

[@garylollman5339]

Dad my vote goes to you of driving the referbish Big Bud you made it all happen by hard work. You guys are amazing in the quality and quantity of work you get done. I hope the next generations of your family will continue you guys have accomplished. May God bless you and your family’s in the process. What you do reminds me of the poem or prayer of “Why God made a Farmer”.

Lovely Bud u got there Welker family.

You both have children, the next generation of farmers (hopefully)!! Yall have shown that not EVERYTHING has to be brand new, make do with what u have, THEN maybe get a new piece(pay that off), yall are making it easier for ur children to continue the family legacy.. and i appreciated the scripture verse u included in video !!

Enjoying the videos, not enjoying thousands of dollars worth of equipment sat outside. You need storage for the equipment that earns you the 💰

[@raincoast9010]

Yes it pains to see the combines outside but i am sure the Welkers feel that much more than even we do! Buildings cost big bucks and then taxes afterwards so there's that to think about too.

[@mikey9710]

the main reason they are sitting outside is because their storage for the combines is being taken up by grain

I saw on insta that they have just taken delivery of a brand new grain bin, so as long as it's built up by next harvest they won't have to store grain in their equipment buildings.. problem will work itself out...
