It's a lineshaftdrive?!

[@philiprhodes3976]

❤leg arms ya need to have a water cannon to spray ya brother when he being a smart butt lol

[@troyparrish9467]

Nick you need to keep the shop clean so Scott can keep working 😅

[@steveshoemaker6347]

The yoke is on y'all i guess lol.....Thanks and GOD BLESS of course it is 👍 Old nasty flying Shoe🇺🇸

[@farmahedvikaslatinky]

Není tam homokinetický kloub . Jste šikulové. Poradíte si se vším. ❤

[@ChadCoburn-br5ci]

Nick clean the shop

[@jerryfaulkner6518]

Nick got the Turbo, you got the shaft 😂

[@Zobby447]

Legarms says his dyslexic just a small hurdle in life…but wow what an engineer fabricator mechanic I take my hat off to you son. You have skills I dream of loving this series keep it coming

[@bobogilvie4472]

It is good to hear the sarcastic humour between brothers

[@tomwinslow162]

Just a couple of simple Montana famers. I love it. We don't have enough to do let's build a new truck. LOL

[@robbiefrench4884]

Great job! These boys know how to fix anything. Thanks Dad. God bless from Tennessee

[@alexmikhael5061]

anything can be """glued""" ... they have the machines to reLAYUTHE sumpin to recureate some thing.... GO AT IT WITH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL GET FIXED OR REMODELED TO BE EBEN BETTER THAN BEFORE Eventually, AND JUST DO IT !!! and fix it if it goes sideways, if it goes over your head call someone AFTER YOU TRIED BUT TRIE AND DO AND DO AND FIX THAT DO AND THEN TRY AGAIN BEFORE callin in support, that is usually 3 steps after pappaWelker gets involved... my guess... HAVE AN AWESOME EVERY THING !!!!! LOVE JOY COMPASSION

[@Dbergson]

Thanks Nick! I was saying driveshaft everytine he said driveline!

[@sgtmark8844]

Nick and Scott, don’t try to keep up with your dad , his yokes are far funnier

[@WelkerFarms]

😂 👌

[@MegaMortar]

The compressor ports are to prevent compressor surge. It recirculates some air back to the inlet. Cheers from a Caterpillar engineer!

[@UncleManuel]

That's a nice air compressor. ... And technically I'm not uncorrect - because a turbocharger is an air compressor. 😁✌️

[@WelkerFarms]

You're correct!

[@stevenstart8728]

Great to see an American practicing his use of the metric measuring system. Good job Nick.

[@BlueDually4x4]

The fact your lathe is big enough to hold the drive shaft at all certainly made working on it easier than no lathe. Scott did a good job explaining the process of shortening it and why he did it the way he did. Keep on yolking away.

[@stoddern]

Nick those compressor side changes on the turbo reduce the chatter and damage to the compressor wheel when you let off the throttle, reducing the need for a Blow off valve which is the choo choo you hear on gasoline turbos as you don't want the intake pressurized when you let off the throttle. Apposed to the waste gate which opens to blow off excess pressure on the exhaust side so you don't over spin/boost the turbo. There are much better sources for more accurate info than I can provide.

[@mmurphy2317]

Speakin' of Choo choos...the Livingston(locomotive) Rebuild Center was downstate from The Welkers in Shelby, and I'm not so sure that it had much (equipment wise) over what the Welkers are working with in their shop! ...just sayi n'...

[@krawphish]

I was thinking Leg arms was meeting with Cheech and Chong, under that truck 😂

[@robertgiguere7137]

Mostly old guys from the sixties and seventies will understand that statement. “Up in smoke.”

[@joeymortenson5827]

I really enjoy you all working together as a family . It’s to bad the whole world don’t do that . Thank again God Bless

[@apollorobb]

Thats not a billet Compressor housing its cast and CNC cut. And the inlet is shaped that way to help prevent surge of the compressor

[@Jason_Bacon]

I was going to say that but, you beat me to it.

[@WelkerFarms]

I misread on the PDI website, the compressor vanes itself are billet, not the housing, oops!

[@Jason_Bacon]

@@WelkerFarms there are billet CHRAs or center sections but, those are more seen in racecar turbos where weight is a factor.

[@willardway3037]

Did you see the bolts/thumbscrew on the steady rest? there should be little wheels that role on the drive shaft. Makes a hard job easy. DRIVE LINE IS THE WHOLE THING FROM THE ENGINE TO THE GROUND!! THE DRIVE SHAFT IS A PART OF THE DRIVE LINE!!! Easy peasy!!!

[@jonlindner8022]

Funny thing that you asked Nick to grab the yoke. I told my brother to pick one up when we tore a rear end out in 1984, he still reminds me how hot it was. Keep up the good work🙂

[@komatsu575]

Leg arms would be an awesome CNC operator!!!!! He would absolutely kill it with ease!!

[@willieshaw2522]

Why would you think that? Two totally different skillsets, spinning handles on a flat bed lathe and programming a CNC mill. They are as different as tuning a 60's car with a point ignition system and carburetor and a 2020's car that is tuned online with a laptop.

[@saskcanada94]

Love the dates in the videos now thanks guys

[@user-oi1bo3if4g]

Hey guys, watching leg arms cut down that drive line reminded me of watching him do the same thing on the 9370. That was a awesome winter watching you guys restore both the truck and the tractor at the same time! Anyway just thought I'd share that. Love the vids! God bless! I'm hoping for a good crop for you guys this year!!

[@scootersl]

@ 29 minutes Cheech and Chong show up under the truck

[@Mishn0]

I was thinking it had to be Jeff Spicoli! All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.”

[@rawhideadventures9515]

Dave ain't here man.

[@flossdaly8274]

"Nothing to see here". LMAO

[@jsi11i]

Now even I'm confused about lines and shafts... after watching this video. Thanks guys.

[@Daniel_kruger]

Me use to balance driveshafts with a hoseclamp. Move the screw head around and testdrive until vibration is gone. Or add extra piece of metal under clamp. Works like a charm.

[@willieshaw2522]

The imbalance amount that would shake your fillings out in a car application wouldn't even be felt in a semi tractor driveshaft. Car shafts are typically balanced to within a couple grams - semi shaft imbalances are often measured in ounces. Not to mention the RPM difference between the two applications.

[@brianstrawser5695]

I'm quite sure you can have the driveshaft shortened and balanced. Save the other driveline for those pesky yoke/shaft failures every so often.

[@revert2625]

Six Robles, and Potter Webster. You can also go to Montana Peterbilt. Give them the length or cut it yourself on the lathe, and weld it with your mig gun. You can balance it on your lathe too.

[@MontanaPacific]

The smoke from Leg Arms trying to get the yoke shaft off the transmission and Nick’s comments and the responses from below had me laughing. A little smoke never hurt a project. Good job guys.

[@Ascended_veteran]

You should set up a jig for your torch. Put the lathe in free spin (neutral) and turn by hand. Very straight cut plus so much faster.

[@hawks2252]

Nick and Legarms- there is such as thing called coveralls. haha - you guys rock.

[@NorwegianMechanic]

That's gonna be a nice truck on the farm👌🚛 You're hopefully going to need it a lot for this year's harvest🙏 May the Lord bless your crops and families!

[@WelkerFarms]

That's the plan! God bless!

[@Ralph94967]

guys once your Done with the new truck your Dads gonna be real happy with his new truck oh and Coby LOL

[@fenlandrob6203]

Can’t wait to hear that turbo spool up and blow off!! Here in the 🇬🇧 we call the drive line a prop shaft? Great work guys. Rob from the 🇬🇧🍺🍺

[@BruceBergman]

The flex pipe has temperature limits for operation. It's not a substitute for the elbows. It'll break up and rot out if overheated. 24:42

[@andrewdougal2262]

In Scotland we call it a prop shaft

[@shaneoneil9433]

Here in Aus too..

[@edcrego8487]

It's not a boat

[@dogcreek8547]

That turbo ain't going any where.

[@digger5858]

Great video guys, can't wait to hear it start up!!!!

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video guys. I've been going down the interstate and had a turbo blow apart a few times over my 20 yrs of driving a semi. I've also had the egr valve blow apart several times on a maxforce. Only blew 1 steer tire in all that time, good thing was that I was able up speed up some and keep the truck under control and move to the side of the road. 🚜🚜🚜

[@kevinsiedschlag429]

Trick for driveshaft balance, take 2 hose clamps , put on drive shaft with screws across from each other, them drive, move hoseclamps together a little at a time until vibration is gone

[@jeffsmulcer8904]

U guys are very talented. Love these videos. Keep up the great work

[@00nutt]

Man that down pipe was exhausting!!!! 😉

[@WelkerFarms]

😂

[@chisel1000]

Actually over here in Australia it’s a tail shaft which is a part of the drive line

[@farming4g]

Automatic trouble sayings: Everything is fine! Don't come in! Don't come over! Don't worry about it!

[@markreetz1001]

I got it! To make an omelet, ya gotta break a few eggs! It'll buff out!

[@Dave5783]

Wait hold my beer

[@clydeacor1911]

I've built my own drive shafts before to get me by in a pinch before but I've learned that even having the yolks slightly off their clocked position and out of balance even slightly will not only eat up U-joints it can also take out the bearings in the rearends, transmission and even the engine bearings and can also end up causing the crank shafts to break. I've just found that it's cheaper and easier in the end to pay my drive line guy $150 to shorten my drive line and have it done right.

[@davidbuhler3916]

Really hoping this rig will straight piped like the 9370!

[@WelkerFarms]

🤔 🤔 😁

[@steveashton3326]

If you have issues with that drive shaft, take it over to Full Torque Drive Shaft in Idaho. They can shorten or lengthen, install new u-joints, and balance. Good guys.

[@ohiofirstresponderpics4295]

2:52 anyone else notice Nick in the back haha!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Awesome job! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻

[@howardhendrickson2933]

I usually cut the flex pipe about 6" longer so that you can overlap each end. Less likely to have exhaust keaks that way

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

some newer trucks use a 37 degree offset on the yoke to prevent vibration, yoke nuts are 2 3/4, get a 3/4 and 1 inch socket, tire gun will zip them off most times,

[@davidkimmel5153]

Very interesting thank you 😊

[@Puthoff09]

That's a big turbo!

[@maryannrose1329]

I was in Shelby the other day and the wind was crazy. I have no idea how you guys farm in that environment. Great job… Obviously you have figured it out… Great videos, Keep them coming…

[@hughperkins707]

Drive line- drive shaft is actually called a Torque Tube. Had an old mechanic tell me that about 50 years ago. I still call it t a Drive shaft. 🙄🙄. Call it whatever you want I’m sure most of us will figure it out.

[@Showboat_Six]

It’s just …. “ the spiny thing”!

[@Mishn0]

Maybe, but on old model Ts and As, (giggity) the drive shaft ran in side of a stationary tube that was called a "torque tube". It's what kept the torque from twisting the rear axle in the springs.

[@billymoad]

The new turbo so sexy lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hi everyone from northwest Missouri can't wait to see it driving down the road or Nick getting it stuck lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@willardway3037]

NICK, NICK, NICK the flex pipe will rub threw. you need to oval the pipe a little and weld it all up nice and purddy.

[@MitchellBarnes-sy9vs]

You guys should do a equitment tour because it has been a couple years since and guys have a lot of new equitment

[@bobbyblizzard8488]

Great video, truck is coming along!

[@johnsimms6778]

I wondered when you were going to get to the driveline. Great project.

[@toshayonguard4253]

You should give a local driveshaft shop some work…..Support your local store’s and shop’s. 🤘🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mtcelticharper]

"Local" is a three hour round trip away. 😅

[@spencerjhog4429]

Great stuff. Can't wait for the "Mash Up" episode with Clarkson's farm where a blathering Brit drive a REAL tractor and Cutting Edge Engineering where you team up an incredible Aussie fabricator/machinist to re-power a Bat S#!t crazy Steiger with a 12V71.

[@steveneal2706]

Another great video. Thank you guys

[@wackowacko8931]

The way that the better shops balance a driveshaft is by chucking it up in a lathe and reducing the run-out of the driveshaft tube between the centerline of the two yokes. If the run-out is close to zero, then the shaft is nearly perfectly balanced (if the tube isn't bent somewhere). They still check the balance afterwards and add weight only if/when needed. In your case, your lathe isn't really long enough to do that. Just FYI.

[@jakeford7688]

I would be Interested in the Air cleaners and brackets

[@michaelcarlson1528]

Very entertaining! Thanks for the laugh tonight!

[@OO-xc7zg]

Driveshaft is correct 👍👍

[@alexmikhael5061]

DRIVELINE is the whole ''system'' issn't it??? driveline is the whole thang: ...transmission, & gears.... & DRIVESHAFT, & axels.... 98.5% sure DRIVELINE is more than just the transmission&shaft... ;) DRIVESHAFT is just the TUBE that goes from the transmission to the axels...

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

I thought Bob was employee of the month last month. I think the yolk was on Scott.

[@ralphnorbert9187]

Thanks for adding the dates now and then,as a fellow farmer in Western Australia it’s nice to know what your up to at the same time as us

[@WelkerFarms]

No problem 👍

[@mmmemgggg617]

Why not have it professionally balanced after you shorten it? I love how the truck is coming out! I love this type of content.

[@komatsu575]

Thats a sweet turbo!!! 😀

[@toddewing9225]

cut the splined end out first cut weld out then cut tube off put spline on yoke level weld yoke and level spline yoke press in and weld you can run a dial indicator on spline end to true it will be plenty true enough for that driveline

[@user-gv1ht6qk9p]

You guys are amazing I am impressed

[@galegregory97comcast]

Oh well looks like you guys turn into a mechanic shop instead of a farm shop. Great job on that drive shaft there's no way I could have done it. Yep I agree with Nick that's just a little bit of smoke lollol

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@themeepingmeeper]

Dang that really is a yuge turbo lol😂

[@willieb58]

3:05 Did we just catch Nick closing the door on his bathroom break?

[@WelkerFarms]

🤫

[@flossdaly8274]

Had the same thought.

[@carlamortenson5604]

great video guys thanks

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

As a retired machinist that ran large cnc mills, that was a huge block of expensive aluminum. My guess is it took a 5 axis large milling machine 4 to 6 hours to get one done. Then there was deburring the whole thing and quality control check each one. The aluminum, labor and machine time adds up to one expensive turbo, Lastly cone is shaped that way for maximum air intake, my guess.

[@michaelgriggs-lr9gh]

You Men got it going on!!!😂

[@whiteeagletrans9850]

Scott if you can remember this for the future check the transmission yoke you took out and see if the splines match the the transmission out output shaft you putting in

[@Cool_mist]

You could have taken the yoke from the peterbuilt drive shaft and stuck it onto the shaft that you were building. If the pipe was the same diameter. Since your past that point you might be able to pull the old yoke from the original transmission and see if it fits that transmission.

[@b.p.650]

Your really a good mechanic !

[@FloatingVillageLife]

Your enthusiastic presentation in 'YUGE Turbo! The BIG BOSS Has Entered The Chat...' is truly infectious. Your passion for your subject matter and engaging style make your videos both entertaining and informative. Your energy and creativity shine through, captivating viewers with every upload. And I am Floating Village Life

[@WelkerFarms]

Well said!

[@mikefarrow5271]

I wish this was one long video. Love y’all’s videos tho.

[@ryteulopki8069]

Woooo!!!

[@Bigstrapper]

I'm pumped you guys put a new crank damper on the that b model. Set the valves and she'll last for ever

[@kurt4917]

I was just worried Leg Arms might drop that DriveShaftLine on his arm and break it. Good job!

[@markellars9245]

Hi Nick The outside of the turbo looks like a casting.

[@paulbutterfield6924]

While you have the drive shaft in the lathe you should grind the weld for the joint first then shorten the shaft tube. But it’s done now so oh well.

[@austinhubbard433]

Y’all need a tiger tool! Great for driveline ujoint repairs.

[@SuperRobertwillis]

You guys really work hard I'm impressed 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@justincummins166]

The reason why they do that is air backups at the compressor blade compressor housing then converts the high-velocity, low-pressure air stream into a high-pressure, low-velocity air stream through a process called diffusion. Fluid dynamics.

[@BWYinYang]

Measure twice, double check, and cut once

[@edcrego8487]

We always took our drive shaft to a specialty shop you get a vibration you can tare every thing apart rear end the Trans and the crank they balance it also

[@start6858]

When you cut the end off put some powder in it before welding it up that's what they do with tires anymore

[@wcooman1694]

"...my drive shaft is too long..." Now you're just braggin'. 🤣

[@dvwart]

" look at that mess... " " NICK CLEAN UP THE SHOP !!! " lol is it bad i instantly thought of that ?? LOL

[@andrewsaunders8252]

nice to see measurements in mm on that turbo !

Looks like LegArms was burning incense to the fitment gods.

Thanks for yet another great video from the Welkers. It was super interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch. I want to say, absolutely amazing are the Welkers!!!!!! They are, in other words, building a new truck!!!!! These three gentlemen are just amazing!!!!! They are designing the drive lines and turbo as they go. Bring it to the Welkers and their shop, and they will build it to perfection!!!!!!!!! There folks are just the best!!!!!! I am amazed at what they are doing. Watching this process is absolutely the most satisfying process. My compliments to all three of you!!!!!! Great work gentlemen!!!!!!!! They are getting the new truck closer and closer to going down the road. Yeah!!!!! Great work. It is an honor to watch you all put this new truck together. Anxious to see the next video on this project. My blessings to all three of you. God bless. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
