I grew up on a farm. Unfortunately, it wasn't large enough to support multiple generations. So, I had to go to work in manufacturing. In my 30 years in manufacturing, I have always said that farmers make the best maintenance techs. As Leg-Arms consistently demonstrates, farmers are jacks-of-all-trades who can get it running with a minimum of fuss. Well done!
Bob really impress me. His voice is smoothing and you can tell he is really nice all around good guy. I lost my dad over 20 years ago and not a day goes by I miss him. So spend as much time as u can with him.
Idk about everyone else who's watching these videos but I LOVE seeing dad and leg arms have control of the cameras and doing their own things for us to watch. Not that Nick isnt doing a good job because he does great!
Some 25 years ago, we did some Bush-Fixes on these type of Front AWD Axels. Liquid Grease instead of the Manufacturers Gear Oil. Works OK for Tractors that run part-time, only and saves lots of $$$ for working hours.
Got my Welker Farms hoodie in the mail today!! My contribution to the input shaft fund for the Magnum. Enjoy watching you channel and keeping up with Welker Farms Inc.
Man, you can hear the sentax and rhythm of speech when Leg Arms talks, he sounds amazingly like dad, the ORIGINAL Mr. Welker. Family traits, out-freekin standing. Blessings.
I love watching your Shop videos, I've learned a lot about mechanics and now I have complete confidence that I can call someone who knows what they're doing to fix my car.
A good collection of different chisels and sharpened flat irons is very handy for for pulling theese pins. I developed such a set on sealing countless John Deere front axles.
Last truck was a lb7. Those injectors under the valve covers were a pain to replace. I've got one of those fumoto valves too on my 6.0. Makes changing the oil really simple!
Enjoyed seeing Robert getting his truck ready! I bought a new Chevy Duramax in 06. I said I was going to keep it for 300,000 miles. I have 278,000 on it now and it just keeps on going! Great truck!
I cannot tell you how many bottles of gear oil ive fought with in awfal places over the year's.. your trick is one of those that makes me wanna bang my head!! Brilliant!! Thanks 👍👍
A farmers job is never done - always something to fix / level / move etc. Thank you for the video - take care - be safe. Waiting for warmer weather. "Spin"
We had a MF 399 loader tractor (2wd, open station) before we upgraded to MFs with cabs & 4wd. Initially we kept the loader on when did field work, but then we got really quick and attaching/detaching it in under 5 minutes. It ran so much better with the loader off.
Still a roll around on the ground shade tree mechanic in my garage. I did buy 4 made in the USA floor jacks to do some maintenance on vehicles. Mr Welker and sons you all do a good job keeping a civil tongue when the mechanic work throws a curve. Many times, my mechanic vocabulary contains some expletives, which makes me glad the garage door is down. Trying to do better.
My dad traded his LB7 duramax in with 356k miles on it and it still ran great! Given it had the injectors done twice, had to redo the seat cover and the body was rotted but it was always a great truck, and it towed A LOT.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Colin Ellis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
These vehicle repair videos are very interesting to me because of the changes in equipment since the 60’s/70’s and you do a good job on them. I noticed that fine looking beaver pelt on your wall and I’m thinking there’s a good story behind it. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Scott your reference is to Jackscrew holes. Drilled and tapped in the casting. Common name in Tool and Die trade. Farmer style! Been there guys! Plenty of maintenance work on equipment during off season. Great video everyone. 👍🏻
My opinion....wait it doesn't matter!!! It's your tractor. If it ain't leaking don't touch it!! Good video guys. Safe travels Bob. See ya in the next one
Man what a blessing to be able to work with your dad on stuff. I only ever heard my dad swear, berate me for not holding the light right and then head back in the house to take a bunch of pills and pass out. Haven't talked to him in years. Cherish what you guys have.
40,000 miles on shocks going across gravel county roads are usually at the end of life! Good job getting the GMC ready to vacation! Have a Blessed trip!
Not a Bilstein. They have a life time warranty and if they are not leaking, they are still good. Unfortunately it appears he swapped out perfectly good shocks. Bilsteins are not you normal shock. Anecdotally I have over 300,000 on a set on my E-350 van.
Legarms/Nick I want to tell you something that happened to me back when I was in my 20's. I was using a punch and thought that I only had a few hits on it so I figured I would be ok with out my safety glasses on. Well a chip broke off that punch and hit me in the forehead. At the angle it hit it cut through the skin and slid and inch up my skull under the skin. I was able to get it out with a magnet. If that had hit me in the eye I would have lost my eyesight. I always used a shield now.
@@BlazeTBC Can you imagine the title of the video. Legarms Destroys his Eye!!! or Nick Rushed to Hospital with Severe Eye Injury!!! . Ya probably a viral video. Yikes!
Merry Christmas Welkers! I found this 10 month old video I had missed and I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch you guys seemlessly weaving in and out of this project, particularly after this past year of national stress, hate and acrimony plus the ongoing Covid drama. Thanks again for a little taste of family all doing what they do best.
@7:33 Coming from a mechanical engineer. We 100% get where you are coming from, most of us try to design in ways to make assembly and disassembly easier, but those things rarely make it past the bean counters. Engineers are really just slaves to sales and bean counters. If it makes it more expensive to produce(even by 1 cent per part) and doesn’t affect the working function of the part, it’s not gonna make it past accounting :(
You guys are amazing....great video...Bob, that lift...for us old guys...what I'd give for that...I loved the entire video...as always...All of you...your skills are amazing...but farmers can do it all....can do anything...Thanks...I love the channel
Leg arms getting poked by that sharp metal was the tractors way of saying you should have changed the universal joint seal! 🤣😂🤣 I understand not changing it, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Great video guys, glad leg arms didn’t get badly cut.
I had a 2005 GMC 2500HD with the Duramax LLY diesel engine. At 117k miles it needed new glow plugs and injectors. I had to keep running injector cleaner and lube to keep the fuel trims in spec. You have a nice shop, I don't and the dealer sucks. Wanted $8k to replace the injectors and glow plugs. I traded it in a new RAM with Cummins and it's been great. On your GMC, be sure and check your fuel cooler back by the tank. They rot out and start leaking when you are on a trip. I won't mention all the other crap I replaced on the GMC like front hubs. BTW, the first LLY engines had iffy head gaskets. That's a 24-40 hour job to replace.
Hey Scott. The proper name for Allen head bolts is "socket head cap screws" or shcs. But yeah, Allen head bolt is what most people outside of machine shops call them. But it's good to know if you ever need to buy some. Just look for SHCS.
Gonna wash off the winter paint so you can put it back on again now that's funny . Yeah I guess those shocks go out pretty quick as far out as you all are with those ruff roads and fields . Good thing you checked them . Hay Legg Arms nice job especially explaining planetary gears and how they work . Lots of folks have no idea unless you show them .
It's always maintenance and preventive maintenance on equipment . Great Video DeBoss Garage is another Great Canadian!! Good to see that you'll find his methods top notch!
Boy, that Leg Arms apple didn't fall far from the tree. That magnum is pretty much the same axle as the 8770 New Holland super steer i think. if that seal leaks, the planetary on the end will come off easy enough having just been apart. LA is doing right. Great Vidya Gentlemen. God Bless.
I lol when you brought out the Honda back when I worked in forestry replantation site prep. On the trenchers there was a couple of huge nuts connecting wheels of the trencher to the frame and to loosen them we would put the rachet on wrap a chain around it and pull it lose with the one ton truck lol
I enjoy taking things apart and seeing how they work. It has always been my dream to get like a tractor that will not work anymore, and take it apart. Legarms is awesome to watch in the fact that he is always taking things apart and showing how they work. My only problem is I can’t put it all back together like he can. Keep being great at what you guys do.
I just put $450 in service into my Ford Escape and left the dealership needing at least $1,500 more in service. It only book's for $3,200. Glad your service went better than mine. 🙃
Thank you for sharing "a little bit" of what you do. I appreciate the transparencies - choices you have to make - even fixing the tractor. I could only wish some of the farmer's common sense and work ethic on the rest of the country. One of the best things my godly father ever did was teach us how to work using the Montana farm.
I love coming on here and watching your videos whenever I can. The kindness and hardworking that is shown is always amazing and makes these videos more contagious to watch. Keep up that good stuff!!
FYI, an easy trick to fixing the worn out axle, is to put it between centers on a lathe and remove the minimum amount of material to round. Once you're done, some sintered bronze stock is needed to machine a custom bushing. This OP could be done on a hobby grade lathe. Cheap as cheap gets. Were I you, i'd keep the old shaft, machine it, machine a bushing, and keep them in stock in case you need a swap at some point.
A word of advice from 30 years of fixing cars trucks and equipment, put a little sealer like liquid Teflon to the outside of seal where it goes into housing. Seen new seals leak between the steel surfaces, that's why Ford and GM started using sealer on the outside of iem axle seals
Great video, gentlemen. Did anyone else think "Nick should have used a Big Bud" where he used the 4 wheeler? Hardly practical, but a funny thought. Bob really went through his truck! I think that replacing the shock was correct. The rubber bushing came out for a reason. Oh yes, the "Winter Paint job". All too familiar paint scheme around my part of the country too. The pins on the 7140 were crazy tough. Enjoyable as usual!
Thats the same truck my dad has but its a 2005. Same color same winter paint and same four door cab. Its also the truck I want. Great vid keep it up guys
Leg Arms; you could take that planetary shaft and weld on it to build it back up, and get the factory machined surface specs from IH & put it in the lathe & turn it down & your shaft will be good to use as a spare when the other side goes bad & you save 400 bucks....
I dont know if u use a lot of brake clean, but snap on has a container that u fill up with brake clean charge with air. U can buy brake clean by bulk in 5 gallon or 1 gallon. Saves a lot of money over cans and it works really well.
I greatly enjoy ur welker farm/family videos, yall are the only farming videos I watch ! I looked at other farmers u suggested, but like y'alls the best ! I'm very happy to see yall were raised in faith, GOD BLESS ur family, farm, lakehouse, and four paws too !!(love seeing ur dog in the videos, in the shop "supervising", ON the equipment !! Looking forward to the next welker farms/family video..
Nice to see some duramax work. Have a friend whos 2004 duramax has over 600 000 kilometers on in. He works in forrestry so it havent had a nice life. Really heavy duty trucks 👍👍👍👍
Respects to you leg arms your mechanic work is awesome I love watching you work on trucks and tractors and you teaching us odds and ends about things keep up the good work brother
bob working on his dmax in the beginning! A man and his truck.. may the two never be parted! Gotta say I’ve enjoyed the ride lads you’ve got an amazing thing going with this channel God bless and keep the outstanding content coming boys!! 🤘😎
Pro tip for next time- if you pull off the planet cover first and then pull the sun shaft you can roll the knuckle off the axle without removing the lower pin and then drive the lower pin out with a bar. the bottom pin is always tough to get out.
Love a man that’s not afraid to get his hands dirty! AND feels comfortable about it!! It’d be fun to hear about your boys when they were growing up!! Good ‘blackmail’ material!?!? LOL....
there should be a tiny little vent in the center of that hub, when they get plugged it can cause oil to force its way out past a seal. its threaded in, so it can be remove and cleaned out with the air compressor.
Legarms, thanks for another great video. Really great how you guys do a lot of your own work and save a lot of money. I am sure you guys learned a whole bunch from your great Dad. Really look forward each week to the videos!
Great video. Someone made comment about knees on cement. As I got older and knees started to bother me I started using styrofoam pad to neal on when working on cement. After doing this my knees quit hurting.
Watching the servicing on the ole LLY I think I saw gear oil going in the transfercase. Those transfercase s actually take dexron 6 they have a oil pump in the rear of the case and they have a hard time pumping gear oil as they were designed for atf. Just thought I would let you know

Really great Montana folks. It's quiet beneficial to have the Higher Power in one's life.
I hope you put a hole in that plate to make it easier to remove next time. Great idea guys and Bob that is what kids are for helping us old guys.

"Seeing what you do, a little bit each day" was very interesting - held my attention throughout. Keep those episodes coming!

Leg Arms; you could take that planetary shaft and weld on it to build it back up, and get the factory machined surface specs from IH & put it in the lathe & turn it down & your shaft will be good to use as a spare when the other side goes bad & you save 400 bucks....
Geez...that’s an impressive number of tool chests!!!

I dont know if u use a lot of brake clean, but snap on has a container that u fill up with brake clean charge with air. U can buy brake clean by bulk in 5 gallon or 1 gallon. Saves a lot of money over cans and it works really well.
Used oil tank code for bulk fuel tank. That's what my old boss did with his truck company. Have a safe trip.

Pro tip for next time- if you pull off the planet cover first and then pull the sun shaft you can roll the knuckle off the axle without removing the lower pin and then drive the lower pin out with a bar. the bottom pin is always tough to get out.

there should be a tiny little vent in the center of that hub, when they get plugged it can cause oil to force its way out past a seal. its threaded in, so it can be remove and cleaned out with the air compressor.

Watching the servicing on the ole LLY I think I saw gear oil going in the transfercase. Those transfercase s actually take dexron 6 they have a oil pump in the rear of the case and they have a hard time pumping gear oil as they were designed for atf. Just thought I would let you know
Yeah replacing planetary housing seals is such fun. Especially on steering axles. These contraptions engineers come up with always fight you. 🤣
Job well done, guys. Thanks for the videos. Have a great weekend
Let’s see, coffee, apple fritter and new Walker video-nice way to start the morning.
Wow, a farmer actually taking care of his truck.
Michael Lucht just because farm trucks look dirtie/broken it doesn’t mean that they dont take care of them.....
I have the same 2 post lift in my garage, love it.
