I would have laughed if John Deere sent you some gators.
i looked at a kubota rtv with the 3 point hitch and front pto auto connect plus it holds 4 or 5 people on it
Michael Mac Tavish I have a lot of experience with RTV900’s and 11000’s. None with pto’s. BUT they will pull anything, Always run and very very reliable. The only problem with them is the floors rot out, that can be prevented. And parts can be very expensive. Only other downside is say on welkers farm is that they are alittle slow specially with a load on them. I do believe there’s a few things you can do to get more speed and power out of them. Gators are cool to but they are not built like kubotas
dirtshower250 agree on my 900 the floor and frame is bubbling I am currently sanding priming and painting the underneath to prevent rust through lol
@@dirtshower250 yeah the pto is accully a add on option wich no other branded rtvs doesnt have wich kubota rtvs can use there compact tractor front attachments wich is nice
@@michaelmactavish1728 bobcat makes one with a pto
I'll be 80 soon and I really enjoyed seeing you work on an old tractor model that I remember.
Growing up, M-M was the workhorse on many farms in the midwest ! Always loved them !
I've been watching Welker Farms for quite sometime. I just have to say, y'all are the sunshine in the darkest hour. Often times folks are struggling and seek channels like these to find a moment of solace. Lately, I've been a bit down on my luck, but great in spirits, and y'all's videos just make it so much better. Educational, clean, humours, informative, real, y'all are the total package. Thanks for everything!
Thanks for the kudos. Blessing to have you long 👍
Thanks so much for your encouraging words! Appreciate them! Wishing you the best during these times!
I kept hearing, Great tractor, great tractor. The new ones with all the tech and bells and whistles are neat but you just can't beat having a "real" tractor.
That "real" tractor will beat the shit out of you and do far less work than any new one. The "good old days" are a lot of times, just old, tough, days! Don't miss them a bit!
Yeah, modern tractors will do much more work with much less fuel (especially since this Minneapolis Guzzler is a gasjob lmao) and much better operator comfort. Heck, even servicing is actually *better* on new machines because we’ve figured out proper systems engineering to make things last longer and in even when thing do eventually need replaced on new machines we’ve designed for manufacturing and service - engineers pay attention to things like radiator drain plug location, fastener location, optimizing service operations etc. People always say “We don’t build things like we used to”.. yeah, that’s right, because we’ve learned a lot since then. 😂
When you heat a bolt that is stuck, it expands and also the metal around it.
When it then cools, it shrinks back and it makes it easier to get loose.
The mistake that many people make is that they do not wait for it to cool down
before trying to release the bolt. When it's hot, it's expanded and sits just as hard.
My dad got my great grandpas 1951 or it's a 1952 Minneapolis Moline UB after he passed and I was the first one to drive it back in October of 2017. Love that tractor and I wish I could have spent time with my great grandpa and asked him what he thought of current farming. Just cause it would have been a blast to hear of planting traditions from back in the 30's to today.
I’ve farmed with MM for years. Wonderful old tractors. We never had tractors with foot clutches until the early 60’s.
Dad and I used MM Case tractors
Leg Arms looked like Donkey Kong on Mario cart! 😂😂😂😂
This made me laugh so hard!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
glad I wasn't the only one thinking that!
No
Southern Farmer85 That is sooo true
Nick. Those are the cylinders. Since there are no sleeves, that is an "enblock" engine, or "no sleeves". I'm an old tractor mechanic from back long before you or Legarms were born. Love watching your videos. I learned to drive on a 1941 Farmall A, which is still in my family. God bless all of you, from Ohio, and I particularly enjoy Bob's sense of humor.
he knows they are cylinders,inside the cylinders there are sleeves every engine in the world has cylinder sleeves
I've got a 47 A myself. Just purchased a 50 Super A I'm working on right now. And got several other tractors too.
Tabor farms that is incorrect! There are plenty of engines that DO NOT have sleeves. A sleeved motor the sleeves are separate from the block. On a non sleeved motor such as a small block chevy the bore that the piston rides in is literally part of the block there is no sleeve to pull out!
Bob's humor and positive attitude are contagious. The Welker family is awesome, so glad they decided to start a TH-cam channel.
Tabor Farms. He asked what the part was called where the cylinders are in separate castings. Graduated in 1977 in agricultural industrial diesel mechanics, just prior to going active duty in the United States Navy as a jet mechanic. Started working on engines with my dad at 8 years old. Not my first rodeo. Lol.
A new dance, the "Welker Shake"!!
This was the first Welker video I ever saw. Hooked ever since.
If you need parts for that Moline check with Welters in Verona Missouri, they specialize in Moline , Oliver , and White tractors.
Craig Sneed do you have a link or a web site for them ?? TY,,,,,,
"Oh no! the shop is on fire, grab that fire extinguisher!" pssssssshh -- FWOOOOOOOM!!!! "Ahhhhhhh!!"
Mishn0 that actually happened at my place. A cousin who had never been in a shop before was there when my great uncle had an electrical short in a welder that started a fire, and he thought that the Oxi-Acetylene torch was an industrial fire extinguisher. Nobody does but we had to gut the shop and rebuild it
Considering it is a water fire extinguisher, that would probably happen anyways...
@@holsteinsanddiesels7758 When I was in the Navy I was walking through the dockyard past the Frigate Sheds, and there was an enormous like 150db "Klang" followed by a "Whoommm.." which sounded like a 1950's jet engine spooling up then a huge "BOOOM"... I literally ran away though i had no idea what was happening (the guys sprintinf out of the shed screaming was a major clue that something bad was going down). 2mins later fire alarms, fire fighters etc. Turned out a 200litre Oxy, fell off the deck, dropped 80ft in to the dry dock beneath the ship, sheered the valve off the top and went pin-wheeling around the concrete dry dock like an out of control rocket before detonating. I have no shame in saying i needed new pants.
Can Am ROCKS!!! We love our insanely powerful Can Am!
BTW my husband would be drooling over that Moline!
I would like to see that old Moline get restored- especially by you guys, you are kingpins at preserving farming History!
That is cool, never fails a one day project turns into a complete tear down.
This video is right up my alley, I restore old stuff and tractors that should never run again. I LOVE THE CHALANGE ! One of the things I always use is Marvel Mistrey Oil. Dump in a quart and work the tractor a bit and then drain it and put in fresh oil. The Mistrey oil will clean up all sludge and free up the rings. Most of the time the engines will quit smoking and run better. Our club restores a tractor every year for scholarship fund raffle. We give senior students that are going into one of the trades a $ 1000. to get them started off. Thanks for giving us non farmers such good videos .
Thanks for serving the students 👍
Every farm, no matter the size, will have a use for a smaller tractor. That thing is cool!
My uncle scolded me when I was younger, it's not yellow, it's called prairie gold
Nick: “this is turning into more work than we planned.” Word’s spoken by my farmer dad many times. Then he would tell me to work faster!
Hahaha, sounds about right, over here, a hour bake install turned into a whole day...what do you know, a week later the brakes are finial in!!!😁😕☹️. Same with a metal pannel, a few hours of cutting and welding needed and 2 weeks later we finally got it in the car
Be nice to see that old Minnie running.
Thank you for promoting Can-Am, another superior Canadian made product. Everybody loves them, SxSblog, Cleetus, and now Welker. They all know to use the best.
Happy Earth Day. Minneapolis Moline was one of the first tractors I Learned to Drive. I helped a Dairy Farmer out at the age of 10 and they gave me the opportunity to learn how to run tractors. Hope everybody's having a great day
Nick on those can ams they are great utvs but watch the timing chain and gears. And the sensors and there is a lot of them when one goes replace them all . just a heads up
Me and my dad are restoring our old massey Harris 44 and we pulled the head and rebuilding the block
_sees Minnie Mo in shop_
WHY AM I SO HAPPY!
Keep that old girl running! My family still has the 75 year old Deere A. Oil change every year but she will run if you have fuel.
Old iron doesn't need to weigh 20 tons to be cool! Be nice to see the old Minnie back at work soon.
Back in late 60s my first farming job was running a m&m with a buggy top. I thought I was the man.
I thought Cam Am would have at least given you a windshield if not a cab kit. Who would want to take a UTV out when it’s -20 and blowing snow without a windshield at least.
It’s great to see you guys restoring old usable equipment, and giving it modern upgrades. You give me inspiration to fix the Ford 8N I got given. It will be good to see how the electronic ignition upgrade works on the MM.
Had a neighbor the bleed MM yellow was around 1965 and he had 3 or 4 of those he farmed with. He was pulling a couple old stumps one day and his dad just was pulling down the drive and the neighbor was backed up to the stump and started hooking up the chain, reached up and grabbed the hand clutch and it jumped and pushed him against the stump and he was between the stump and rear tire and it was chewing in him pretty good but lucky his dad looked in the mirror and seen him being eaten by the tire and turned around and I guess saved his life. I never was a fan of tractors that only had hand clutches. He was banged up and missing some hide but did recover.
I love old tractors. I remember my Grandfather and his John Deere B. Pop Pop coming down the road.
Great video
Leg arms texting Nick while he's on camera.....it stopped after he asked him...😂😂😂
Hey Welkers I suggest you do a video of putting light bars on the side by side
We had three Minnies on our farm. A "Z", a "G900" and an "M602". We still have the 602 since it was the first tractor my grandfather bought brand new. It does not do anything anymore but I told my dad it will never leave the farm for sentimental reasons.
Enjoyed seeing the MM getting some lovin'. That thing should have plenty of power to run your auger.
I've seen one of those big reds in the background, should get one running
Block, JUGS, then heads. Awesome tractor!
That oil filter plumbing is very similar to how many German car oil filters work.
i really like that you restore these old machines
When I was at Shelby high school last year we started restoring the same tractor
Old tractors are so fun to find a place on the farm yet today. We have a 47 and 51 John Deere A's my great grandpa bought new. Still use them on some odd stuff around the farm
Good job Mr Welker
Ohhh a new Can-Am!! We have a can-am 570 four wheeler! So cool!
Edit hahaha an even bigger one for 4 people!!
I have used that gas tank sealer several times in the past...a painstaking, involved, many step process and it does work- but never forever..over a life time of gas tank repair strategies, i finally smartened up and found the only true cure of gas tank leaking is...wait for it...REPLACE the TANK with a BRAND NEW ONE!!..lol..trust me i have tried every product and procedure known to man to fix tanks-both internal and external, and NOTHING works as well as a brand new tank replacement!! *true words spoken by a 80's Chevy truck owner and curses to the engineer who thought putting a plastic skid plate over each tank would be a tremendously good idea which did nothing but trap moisture and dirt and mud against the tanks!!!
Yeah, it's best to get rid of old tanks if there's a good replacement available. Just, not worth the hassle, really. All the aggravation and bother it causes, might as well shell the cash for a new one or a decent replacement and be done with it. Learnt this years ago dealing with old cars on my brother's lands or back home as the guy always asked to come fix stuff.
If money is no problem, i usually replace them with an entry point fuel cell, since they're pretty much bullet proof and they have the option to run more modern fuel pumps (where applicable).
One good thing about a modern fuel pump is that you can run it at half throttle to match the original specs of the vehicle in terms of pressure and volume moved per minute, which means that you'll never wear the pump in your life time. I've installed pumps that have near constant use in farm vehicles, under that principle, and some of them have now almost 18 years of weekly use, in the typical farm setup "start, stop, start, idle for ours, stop, start" so on.
@@aserta amen~
...no luck with coating inside of tank....it can flake off and plug outlet, float bowl, carb jet.....but then flaking rust can do the same thing.....wonder if putting some coarse sand in and slowly tumbling it to shine up inside....might wear a hold in a thin spot?
Best bet for an old tank that you can't/don't want to replace it take to a radiator shop and tell them you want it re-coated... For real... If you have a decent radiator shop around, they've done this many times, and can do it right so you can avoid plugged filters etc as your homemade attempt starts to age and flake.
MMs are hard to find replacement parts for. Especially fuel tanks.
Nice addition!
Don't forget a wind screen option on both of them and a roof for the 4 seater.
The wind screen makes a huge difference with dust, small rocks and rain ofc
Awesome that you're bringing the old iron back to life! Too often the old equipment is just scrapped. Keep on resurrecting them, love it!
Just imagine when Ya'll get Her all straightened, Painted and pinstriped !, What a jewel !!
Sweet Minnie Mo! ...and a family heirloom at that! So cool!
Adding a windshield will help you stay so much warmer in the cold season. Plus snow and rain off your face. But those are sweet and so handy!
Those are some pretty snazzy off road atvs you got guys. It will be something to hear that tractor run. Thanks guys.
Nick, seeing you cleaning/sealing the tank reminds me of the time my dad and I had to seal an old motorcycle tank...long story short if you drag a fuel tank behind a boat with cleaner and nuts everything comes out perfectly...
That is an awesome idea!
When you restore that one you should do the other one at the same time
Oldie but goodie!👍🏻
Those old hand clutch Moline Wheatlands were one of the handiest stationary PTO tractors ever. With the seat swung out of the way all the controls could be run from the ground. If you plan on using the tractor for spring planting you may want to consider changing out the homemade manifold for a factory version that has carb preheat. Without it the carb throat will ice up on the inside when the temps are in the 30's and low 40's. New manifolds are available.
Those would be cylinder jugs is the term for them.
Learned to drive a tractor on a “U” on the family farm in Canada. Also had the smaller “Z” model.
Thanks for the video Nick, like the side by sides. Can’t wait to hear the ole girl fire up 👍
You are going to find a lot of uses for the side by sides. It’s also a good thing one of them has a winch, they are hard to get out once they get stuck. You are really going to like them for filming, hauling tools, and running people out to the field.
"Petrolfied Wood" - if legarms was any quicker he'd cut himself 🤣
Hey Nick! May I recommend Steiners? They home make all their parts right in Lennon Michigan for old tractors!
I like Steiner Tractor for my parts, but not every part they sell is made in America. A lot of them are Chinese made. They do have a lot of American made parts, but not every one of them is.
@@dangerrangerlstc from what my dad told me, the majority of their parts are made at their facility, sure they get a few Chinese made parts, but the majority of their parts are made right there
Nothing like old American machinery
We have an old Minneapolis Moline Z w/ hand clutch and sliding/swinging seat which basically meant you drove it standing up (not safe). When I was young, my dad traded it it twice for other tractors and then bought it back from the dealer. It was such a great tractor. He mostly used it for chasing in cows from the far back pasture.
Notification squad where u at?!
Here
Here
Pre-sent
There...
You know this is how a total rebuild starts, just a stuck plug...
Pretty much sums it up. After they put back together, all is needed fresh paint.
BW YinYang no there best left in original patina just redo new emblems etc then just lacquer them over and leave them worth miles more in orininal paint nowadays!!!
I Bought a 2012 850 Diesel Gator with a 4' Power Dump Box and Power Steering! It's Sweet! My Sons had been bugging me to get a SideXSide for years as I'm North of 70yo! I'm now happy to relinquish my ATV Saddling-UP! The Gator's a work horse, used Daily!
Spray it down with Free All. Amazing stuff....
We have a 4 door defender, its a 2019 and we already have 9,000 miles on it. Never had a problem
Impressive
I haven't put that many miles on my Camry in the last year
Minne"snap"olis Moline
Welker farms by far the best videos on TH-cam makes my day 👍🏻
Block + cylinder jugs + cylinder heads = well oiled and operative machine
Leg arms that perfect for you
I’d probably be wearing a mask because that’s more than likely lead paint
Lacquer. Lead paint was used on buildings and houses.
Pretty sure lead paint is illegal to produce now, I could be wrong but I swear I heard that they stopped producing it cause its super toxic
Thomas Gilliam they stopped in the 70s that tractors looks to be older than that
@@thomasgilliam6395 Nope, not super toxic - just sweet tasting, and kids would eat the paint chips. Over time, eat enough - lead poisoning. A few particles of dust.. well, you'll probably get more at a shooting range.
I can't be the only one that waited for LegArms to shout "NICK, CLEAN UP THE SHOP" :D
Those BRP Can Ams are sweet. Great Canadian based manufacturer of first rate toys.
Honestly I wouldn’t paint it. It has a good look going for it. Just redo the emblems and logos but I wouldn’t change the paint at all. Do some polishing to the stainless and other bare metal parts
I was expecting y’all to get a sxs but not to be sponsored by can am
I really liked this video . I like old tractors.
I have one,it is 1966 IH 414 my dad bought new . Got in running last weekend . I rebuilt the motor 20 years ago but it hadn't run in a long time . Sounds like brand knew . Hardly any paint on it but I am going to play with it this summer. It was the main tractor for a 250 acre farm and ran everyday summer and winter ,for 25 years Snow ,manure ,cultivating .planting corn ,baling ect.
Boys there is a channel named oldfarmjunk his name is Richard and he is always working on old tractors.He goes to sales and buys junk and fixes or sells parts and then scraps . He likes IH M and Allis and he has some Moline's If you are stuck for parts he could probably get them for you but Moline probably has after market parts you can buy brand new.
I will be looking to hear the old girl run .Good Luck
Nice can-am mate👌 you never realise how useful they are until you get one👍🏼
If this was any other farm channel they would have took out a loan for another 100 thousand dollar tractor to power the fertilizer auger.
When ur so early u can’t steal any comments for likes
I’m having deja Vu lol
Hondas don't die. I agree, but thanks for helping out your Canadian Brothers. CanAm is great.. BRAAAAAAP!!!! #BRP
Awesome looking side by sides
Thanks 👍
Side by side is the best you can have for these small jobs
and relocation of people that must happen on a large farm.
A windshield is to prefer.
You need to buy a couple windshields for those Utvs......you can thank me later lol
Best in there class can am makes an awesome machine
I'd love to see an old tractor completely restored. Can't wait. Any more videos of that on TH-cam guys?
A easy and excellent trick to clean up the inside of an engine is to add 1 quart of ATF in place of 1 quart of motor oil. ATF is an excellent cleaning agent. Done this many times on motors that had white cream inside the crankcase from moisture that had entered the system and the engine never got to full operating temperature to evaporate the moisture. I ran a small repair facility out of my home garage back in the day.
It's a universal constant with old tractors. Any time 1 thing needs fixed, the process of fixing it breaks something else. Repeat ad nauseum, or until you give up and do a nearly complete restoration. I ran into the same thing fixing my old Sears Suburban garden tractor
Hahaha! Wow! Leg arms you just went and burned Nick like that! And with a straight face. 8:48 I got a good chuckle out of it.
You guys will love the Side by Sides. I am using mine everyday. They are to handy not to have!
Wow not one but two Side by sides Canam make great machines. Here in NH where I live we are able to ride from our house on the streets to the trails on a trail system that is called ( Ride The Wilds) with a Thousand miles of trails.The machines are a great way for the family to get out and enjoy and explore the area when not working on the farm. Congrats on the new machines enjoy.
Those Cam-Ams are sweet!
It will be neat to see the Ol MM running and working. I'd like to see you guys haul some grain with the Dodge bobtails. 🇺🇸
Love the long box side by side
that will be awesome to see it come back to life Nick
The 4 seater looks like a GPA and Gma utv with the grandkids in the back. I got my Welker farms hats now if I had a 6x blue tshirt to go with I'd be set !
Keeping age less iron going is a must for our farming history keep it running guys
Wicked cool Buggies.
