- We bought a Livestock trailer eariler this year. Now it is time to make some repairs and get it road ready. I plan on using the trailer to get Hay this fall and take the pigs to the processor. I know the trailer jack needs work and there is a bad wheel bearing. Time to jump into it and fix this stock trailer up.

Good troubleshooting on the lighting issue and the bearings. Best of luck. Thank you for sharing.🐂
Only a person such as yourself that has the ability, patience, and industriousness can make a homestead a real success.
Evan, That's a nice trailer but that bearing race at 5:05, shouldn't just fall into the hub like that. It might be a good idea to take it back apart, clean and red loctite that race back into the drum/hub. Try some heat on the rest of the lugs so they don't snap off and use Never-Seize when putting back on. Just some suggestions, thumbs up always !!
Many years I worked on trailers much like yours. standard every year I would pull all wheels lube bearings & verify the brakes work. Wiring anytime I saw junked up wiring I'd Pullit all out and run New loom in & learned threw the years to solder all connections & heat shrink every connection. Note In frame I'd weld 1/4 in bolts and use them with conduit holders with wing nuts & spray all the set up with white grease to cut corrosion under the frame where they were. It pays off in time & money in the long run. I saw you doing the trailer jack, I have had to do many too & oh the memories it brought to me.
On all that equipment, that gold never seize is your BEST FRIEND!
Happy times bud!
Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
You are SO knowledgeable about SO many things! Good job getting that trailer road ready! Who knows WHAT you would have had to pay if you had to hire out the work!
i guess im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Connor Rohan instablaster :)
@Stanley Declan thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.

Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Connor Rohan happy to help xD
Hi Evan! Tell Rebekah we say hello. Good job with the trailer. Jack of so many trades.
Love your videos (Belgian fan)
Trailer looks good Evan. Lots of work to get it legal for the road, but it will last you guys for years.
Your videos are total cool
I recently bought a heavy electric impact driver and it works well, no need for a compressor
Keep up the neat work
Dave
OOPS.....A BIG OL' OOPS.......this is all that is called for when wringing off bolts and breaking equipment. i enjoy watching you squeezing contentment out of lifes lemons..........g
Great job👍
Good Job. Everytime you acquire a piece of used equipment it's usually necessary to fine tune it.
I play electric guitar and the vintage amps are best, but always need to be worked on!
Great job Evan. Thanks for sharing such an enjoyable video ;)
That is a nice trailer. As you said good for all kinds of cartage. If I may suggest, from experience I would find a piece of Alum Checker plate to half moon it over the front where it is smashed in. 1/4 " bolts and nuts to hold it on. Touch up paint to the wheel rims. little black touch up too. You have the lights working. Good insurance to make things nice so when the DOT boys are driving around looking for crap running on the road, they will not zone onto your trailer Good vid thx for posing it.
Would love to see detailed educational videos from you! I’m about to start my first project on getting an old ‘79 livestock trailer road ready but I’ve never changed bearings or fixed wiring before. Love your videos!!
The only time I’ve had working wiring on a trailer is when we bought it new.
You are doing great keep up the good job.
I would check all wheel bearings and loosen all lugs. And get a spare tire and rim of going hour plus away.
Wow you are very telented indeed!! Awesome!
God bless you and your family
JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WHEN YA WELD A THREADED ROD OR BOLT, PUT NUTS ON SO IT KEEPS FROM PUTTIN BEAD SPATTER AND WHEN YA HAVE LIGHT ISSUES ON A TRAILER, LOOK AT THE CONNECTORS WHERE THE TRAILER TO THE TRUCK AND CHECK FOR CORROSION , OH I SEE WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY, WE NEED A INTRODUCTION
Every time you buy something used take the time and go through it will save you a lot in the long run
Great job
Stay right on those spray guys, the more time that passes the more chance they try to nickel and dime you out of what you are in titled to. Good luck. Not my first time dealing with a big company. They will string you along for a bit and than hand you off to a" higher up" who says that there is nothing he can do for you after so much time has passed.
They at least bought the seed for the hay field. We just got it replanted yesterday.
Still plodding on I see mate 👍 farmers always find things to do haha looks good
Trailer lights can ba a nightmare. I've used trailers the last 25-30 years and seems everytime i have issues with lights. And almost every time i have to work on getting them road worthy. Maybe its just my luck. Looks like your good to go.
YOUR REAL DOWN TO EARTH WITH EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO . LIKED YOUR WIFES VIDEO SHE DID THE OTHER DAY SHE NEEDS MORE , SO WHY DONT YOU EVER HAVE YOUR KIDS ON SOME OF THE VIDEOS ? KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU TWO.
youtubes warning against having kids on videos right now
Our kids are grown up and moved out. We waited to move to the country after they graduated high school.
JudithB That trailer has been beat to death nearly, but you can repair and paint it so it will last many more years! Does it have a brake unit on it??? Brakes on the trailer can sure make towing large animals less nail biting and saves the brakes on your truck too! You would need the brake controller installed in your truck.
The trailer does have breaks and my truck has a break controller but the brakes on the trailer need a little bit of work.
I'm sure that you will do an excellent job on the trailer as you have done on previous projects. Honestly, I can't see any reason why you would need hay right now with all of that grass and weeds I'm seeing. You're good for another month with the few goats you have. Take a rubber hammer 🔨 and beat the dents out from the inside.
glad you got things fixed,now let's get the sickle mower and baler going,find a grass waterway flat ditch and bail your own,feeding goats or cows ,works just fine, iowa has cheap hay and lots of it, i'd love to tell you a few things on the hay field,but not on here
Yea, I had hoped to go thru all the hay equipment. I bought all the manuals and have already bought some parts. But now it seems like I have time before I will need it.
@@CountryViewAcres you'll do fine evan,check the timing on the baler,needles aren't bent and the knotters are sharp,first few bails always seem to break the strings ,as the bails go through it it gets shined up and works great,im sorry they stole that from you this year,smell of fresh cut hay,bailin your own ground,even the barn smells great ,best thing about farming making hay,i'm an old man now but 4 yrs ago i put up 750 square bails by myself, i painted up all my stuff ,it looked brand new ,lots of stuff on youtube about tuning up a bailer ,great channel to follow
I'm working on my Goose neck horse trailer right now. It's been sitting up for several years, and none of my outside lights are working.. i don't even know where to start.. several of my light covers and bulbs are broken/ missing, due to a friend's bored horse chewing on them. I'll try to replace them first, then IDK where to go from there..
Nice work on the trailer Evan. Cows! Get a Jersey cow for me!!!
I like the mini jerseys. But I wouldn't want to milk it every day
@@CountryViewAcres the minis are so cute. A lady on you tube has some was the first time I heard of them. Wonder if I could have one in the city....hummm
Great job with the trailer. Enjoyed watching your video!!!
Hey even I would take the time and take them other wheels of in case you have a flare tire on the road do you have a spare and a jack for the trailer
One of the major problems with trailer wiring is having a good ground between trailer and tow vehicle the trailer usally ground between the coupling and the ball hitch a rusty hitch will not ground properly
let me make a suggestion kobalt 24 volt cordless impact it has been the best buy i have made on my place.
Spray nuts/bolts with WD-40 "ALWAYS"
New sub, hitchin' on👍❤🇨🇦
Would the jack come in from underneath and be a stronger job not putting weight on the fixing bolts ?
soak them lugs in PB blaster, then you should be able to get them off.
Why don't you put perpetrating oil on the lug nuts. For future removal
have you tried the hay exchange on line
No, first I've heard of it. I usually go through facebook market place. Or people I know.
Good work sir! Are you going to be doing any hunting videos soon with bow season coming up? Would enjoy seeing them. Keep up the good work.
Yea, I need to get out the bow and practice. And the hunting blind needs some work too. There is always something to do.
@@CountryViewAcres I know that's the truth. I've gotten really lucky this year and somehow managed to get permission to hunt 27 acres in St. Louis county where there isn't much pressure on the deer and they are over crowded. I'm hoping for a good season! Good luck with your blind and your trailer.
Please make sure the floor is good and solid. I saw a cow break through a floor once. Cow couldn't get back up. Driver didn't know it happened. Ground off the cow legs, before someone was able to get his attention and get him pulled over. Horrible site.
get some release oil
Let us know how much hay is there. We are paying 6 each! Highway robbery!
its called a nylock nut
Was the trailer purchased as-is or were all these issues known?
As-Is. I only new about the wheel bearing, because it was obvious. But I saved at least $1000 on it. So it was worth it.
Was that trailer jackknifed?
I was told it was backed into with a tractor. But who knows.
You need to paint were the rust is
You hunt and you won't process your own hogs?? I assume that you have actually killed a deer or other animal. Not a criticism, it just surprised me. Love watching you guys, keep up the good work.
I have processed one of the deer I have killed before. But I have so much going on, it is easier to take to a butcher. Maybe in the future we will process a pig, but not right now.
Why can't you work on your livestock trailer in your workshop that you built??
Way to much explaining
Not to someone who is learning!!
That's kind of how learning works Justin
