Great video and thanks for taking us with you, love the older equipment, I also just purchased a white 1975 4-150 this past March and it had been setting for 7 years , I got it going drove it home 15 miles and next month taking it to the ohio valley antique machinery show
Thank you for taking us along ! I enjoy your video's big time ! Hope you get the wheat out and the corn looks kick ass buddy ! Looking forward to seeing your hard work pay off ! I admire your drive ! Your a real inspiration. Again I appreciate you taking us all along and sharing content. You rock buddy !
I really enjoyed this video. I learned something about manure spreaders that I was unaware of. Never know what one might learn. Always enjoy your creativity to fix things.
I have been using boiled linseed oil for years. Many of my gun stocks have been refinished with it. Wheel barrel handles any wood the sits outside. It's my go to here in the high dessert
If you have oil base paint for the wood you can mix it in with the boiled linseed oil and put a couple of coats on it and it makes for a really good finish that will last a long time. Just something to think about. Bandit
Hey not related to the video but I was wondering if you had any advice for someone going to look at an Oliver 1855? Mostly just looking at it to pull a 15ft batwing
Ethan, I understand that you want to restore the spreader to perfect, but you also should consider that the thing ran for 50 plus years assembled incorrectly. I'm guessing that if you put it back together the way it was it will still spread all the manure you will haul for the rest of your life!
Be careful but, you can take a Hudson sprayer and put Muriatic acid and spray metal on the rusted spreader and it will eat the rust down and then pressure wash and dry it will clean up metal but the vapors of the acid are dangerous as is the acid itself
Way to put off the lindseed oil job! Sucks to have scrapped the set of blades you originally had. Should'a thought somebody might want them, save anything potentially useful for restoration!
You are an excellent doggie dad. How about this idea for the name for the White Combine you can call her Large Marge from the movie PeeWees big adventure.

Looking good buddy 👍 your buddy from Nebraska
Thanks
I don’t know if you would be interested, but there is an Oliver 25 combine on FB Marketplace in Rochester, IN. It looks clean.
Great content, thanks.

Be nice to see three vintage combines cutting wheat, hope that happens 🤞 👍 👍👌🤠
Hopefully
Looking forward to seeing the combines in action.
Thanks
How has the pine linseed oil floor help up?

First time I’ve used it.
I'm 58 years old and still enjoying working on old equipment
Thanks for the great video.👍🇺🇸
Thanks.
I normally just find wasp if I go to a salvage yard this time of year, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do
Poison ivy, snakes and yellow jackets.😆
Yep. Lol
I thought this was a pretty cool video, the manure spreader will look great When it is done, have a good one
I agree completely.
If you happen to read this, please try CRC Rust converter on the frame before you reassemble. You will be impressed. Thanks for the video.

That’s what I’ve heard.

🤣Fiddle F**k haven’t herd that in a long time 🤣
I say it all the time.

Or just spend 10 bucks on the parts to make it right cause why would you half ass a restoration. You’re already there. Just make it right.
It never fails Farm Boy. You keep "junk" around for ever till you finally throw it away. Not a week later you wish you hadn't. Ha!
Every damn time.
Great job man. If these paddles fail, do you think making thicker ones out of a thicker guage steel could fit the bill?
The axle and bearings aren’t designed for a lot of rotating mass.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy fair enough.

Have you contacted
AGCO TO see if they still manufacture the New Idea original paint
Teeder is well worth spoiling
Yep.
Check Mc master Carr for the shaft coupling, might be a bit pricey but you'll most likely have it next d5
Spoiled dogs are the best
No need to apologize for anything. It was a good little video. It's going to be nice when it's all done and together again.
I’m excited to use it.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I bet you are. I also bet a lot of us are excited to see it working.:-)
You can only save so much stuff.lol
Scrapped those buried paddles....Doesn't that just p**s ya off.......?!?!
If I had know they were new idea I would have hung onto them.
Linseed oil comes from Flax

Sad but after the spreader is finished you could sell it but not get your paint, labor, or material cost out of it...
Yea I could. Easy.

How bout no.
U cood have done them in the basement of your barn can’t u that way u cood leve them and not have to move them
No. It’s to damp and shit falls from the ceiling.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy well that sucks
Hein and Son is not snaky
Do what?
