The 170 is earning its keep!

Love the 170 working. The elevator weight was a good solution. Look forward to your combining oats video.

What's a vacation?

You couldnt heat the bolts cherry red....allow to cool........heat cherry read.......allow to cool...... and then try taking the bolts out ? Most times there is no need for an impact wrench if they are heated a few times. So...... again...why not remove the belts first.....much easier to work on a baler !

What on earth did you use to cut this patch ???? Two foot long stems in the field after cutting it ???? Might consider taking the bales off.........the recutting it again ! Not joking !

Ive repaired shafts like this too.... use the end bolt and put it in the drill to turn it. Use the bearing ( clamped in a vice) that you get new...to hold the shaft to turn it with the drill... spin it slowly as your grind it. Just like a lathe

Why not just remove the belts ? I think much quicker.

Pete, that was some excellent video editing Of you laying those round bells out in 2 rows side by side. Exceedingly, well done, my friend. I hope you and your wife enjoy your vacation. Come back safe. God bless the two of you. 🙂🙏🙂

Great to see the 170 working. I am close to putting the motor back in my 170. I am glad you did your series of videos on your 170. They have been helpful to me in my repairs.

G day Pete Yes we have very wet weather up here. 4 ins plus. Have good trip THs

Sounds good Pete have a good time on vacation!!😊

Have fun on your vacation Pete, You guys deserve it ! Sunday I helped Jacob bale some hay, No rain they say till after 6pm and at 3pm we got soaked ! LOL Never fails ! Bandit

Have a great vacation pete

Thanks for the update Pete, looks like the 170 is doing a great job. I hope you guys have a great vacation and hopefully wherever you are going it won’t be too hot 🥵

Looks good - have a great vacation…👍

Have fun in Margaritaville !

Thanks Pete. Have a good time on your vacation.

The IH weight looks just like the one I had on the front of my 180, worked fine. Enjoy your vacation 👍

You two enjoy your vacation

At first I thought you were putting bales side by side so you could pick up two- I was waiting for a wheelie LOL Have a good vacation!!

Thanks for the video Pete. My John Deere backhoe needs a new water pump due to a worn bearing. Not as bad as yours but enough to rock the fan from side to side quite a bit. At $500 to over $900 for a new pump, based on whether it is aftermarket or OE, and the rebuild kit in the $60 range, I am going to rebuild mine. I have a hydraulic press, so there is half the battle. It's always good to see someone else go thru the process, because, as you've said, there aren't any directions. Hopefully, by catching the problem before my impellor gets ruined, I'll be able to measure the clearance and know how far to press it on.

Atta boy Pete - Get it done!

Hay looks good Pete, I hope you got it done without any problems 👍

I know that feeling, hope it went well Mr Pete!! 😁😁🤞🏻🤞🏻

Welcome to the 21st century. With your battery, powered impact wrench. Good choice on staying with the battery that you already have, and Dewalt makes a great tool. 🙂🙏🙂

Measure twice, suffer once! Well done, Pete!

You should of just heated them a little with a tourch it's the out side of bolt heads that hold

After you change a flat tire with that impact your life is changed forever…

Nice work. Looking back at some other repair videos on this baler, it looks like you’ve done a fairly extensive renew on the Vermeer. I’m thinking about a stem to stern rebuild on my JD round baler so these videos give me a feel for how far one might go with a refurb before moving on to another baler. I should think the bearings, roller, sprockets and chains pretty much have this baler in near like new condition with many more years of dependable service out of it for a fraction of the price of a new or late model used baler.

Always good to see you post. In the words of SMA, if I can do it, you can do it. Does not apply here. You are a force when it comes to getting it done. I couldn't even come close. Great job Pete.

Dont look like fun, but gladd you are getting it done. You are better than geico and save a bunch of money DIY.

Great job Pete I have a Vermeer bailer also I’ve been in the same deal before it’s not eeevveeepeeseee! 🤣😂

Man yeah, I know you probably care not too, but I could watch you work in things all day!! Genius the way you figure things out working alone!! I love that impact, need to upgrade to something similar myself!! Boy I would have thrown in the towel on that one, well done Mr Pete 👌🏻😁 Looking fwd to seeing it back out in the field!! I bet those bolts got some anti-seize!! 😉😉👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

That turned in to one heck of a project! Rusty bolts is a top pet peeve of mine. Nice work!!

The twisted allen was a confirmation of a strong DeWalt choice!

Thanks for the update Pete, it’s amazing what an army of one can accomplish.👍 Hey Pete just wondering if you all have had a problem with flooding like parts of South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota? Take care and stay safe.

thank u very much for the video,i have done all the things that u did in the video but my hydraulic steering does work anyways, i have a brand new steering pump and its very hard to turn the steering,can u tell me a suggestion please?thank u

Those discs look alot like Allis Chalmers which are Yetters.

The Ol' Ford sounds pretty good. You've got that field looking like a shag carpet in a '70s living room. LOL. Keep up the good work there. ROCK ON FARMER PETE!!!!

The Ford 200 is sounding pretty good. Tedder seems to be working well, too. I'll be tedding hay in about 2 days. Got some timothy to knock down.

She sounds good Pete! Looks like a nice hay crop too.

the old ford sounding good

A 20-year review! Glad you didn't rush into it, Pete!

Ford sounds great. Tedder doing a nice job and the hay looks great. That’s a good tractor-Tedder combo…👍

Yea. Loved those Fords 2, 3, & 5000 series growing up in the 70-80,s. Sure do not build them like that anymore. Nice vid. Thank you Farmer Pete.

Good day Pete Looks & sounds good. How is it on fuel compared to H Thanks

Nice job on that forgotten Ford

You need an umbrella for the ford too.
