You take multi-tasking to a whole new level. All of your shop projects, apprentice program, farming, fixing, fabricating, repair, rebuild, retrofit and learning center. Oh yeah and film production studio. It makes my head spin. All I can say is thank you for taking us along and sharing your knowledge and expertise. Not to mention your sparkling personality. Lol.
Hiya Andrew, Great video, thank you. When you were saying in an early part of the film about how Shara had cut the cross members at 96 inches, if I were her, I'd have said, "No, you said 94 inches; they are all cut at 94" Just to watch you turn red... Stay safe, Steve...
I can only imagine the shear joy and relief knowing Jerred and Sarah are all in for the family farm. No parents could ask for more in the character and work ethics of their children. God Bless you all Andy, so proud to say up state was were I was raised.
It blows my mind that it’s miserable cold with possible snow up there and here in The Villages, it’s sunny and 85°, Sunday 2/27. Great video, as always, you have an awesome family!
Sarah needs to start her a company building truck body’s. Makes a father’s heart feel so good to see such a smart young lady doing all the things she is doing. Thanks Andy for raising such a great family.
You have some of the best help a dad could ever ask for in any project you do on the farm. Whether it be working in the shop or working in the fields. You just don't see much of that these days. God bless you guys and stay safe.
Andy ...love your work, your family is a gift and it is wonderful to see how you all cooperate with each other. Your children understand that hard work is not something to shy away from. They earn every bit of your teaching. Here is to you and your family. Thank you for allowing us to watch.
Andy we only use metal of any description only made in Canada or USA i live in Canada very proud of both countries the quality of workmanship is the best
I thought you had diverged into ship building and laying a new keel here. Tell Sarah that welders earn more than farmers. On a serious note, Sarah is a competent welder. Good luck to Jared on the engine job. Thanks Andy.
Thanks Andy, great video, always amazed by the large number of implements, tractors and trucks and other equipment it takes to operate your dairy farm.
Very good no mistakes poor canadian steel, jokes and lots of fun. What more can I ask for, glass of cold milk, maple syrup, pancakes eggs and bacon. Have a great day.
No mistakes; just a deviation from plan. A good grinder; welder’s best friend. As Sgt Schultz would say, “I see nothing, I hear nothing.” What happens in Andy's shop stays in Andy’s shop. Another great video.
Thanks again Andy! I like hearing the how any why regarding your design choices. Your secret about having a mythical beam stretcher is safe with me! :-)
Great family hard-working kid you got there. Good time to have Andrew work with his brother and little more about mechanics and get some experience Sarah does a great job welding fabricating I guess she got that from her dad keep up the great videos handy and you can Talk with your hands
I grew up in my father's mechanic shop working on everything from small engines up through 6 cylinder diesel engines. We had a handful of Deere tractors but they were the old 2 cylinder tractors. Nothing runs and sounds as good as the old 2 cylinder engines. We had an A , B , H and a D that I played with as a kid growing up. I left as a teenager and I ended up working for my uncle working on semi trailers. We done everything from building new to repairing old. The main thing was installing aftermarket products. Welding and fabricating was always what I loved doing the most but somehow I never got away from turning wrenches. Up until I was in a wheelchair I was working still working on cars on the side for extra money. Building something like these boxes i would have been in heaven. 🙂🙂🙂
I can remember throwing chains and tarps on my steel hauling double trailers out of Buffalo to Flint MI. That was back in my " much" younger days. You do a great job explaining how slices work to extend to what you need. Great looking and very strong looking bodies. Great videos
good way to offset the down season of farming by building these truck beds. Maintenance and regular cattle tending is enough but the overflow staff tend that. great to see all busy. Great videos
Oh hey thanks for clarifying about the Canadian steel thing. I was pretty offended when you said that but now that you've cleared it up I do feel much better
Take it any way you want but thanks to dems someone can always find something to be offended by 🤦♀️ What triggers me is people that have no skin . Triggered people.
@@scottholbert2742 Yeah it's a pretty pathetic time we live in now isn't it. The only thing that pisses me off more than everybody crying about their hurt feelings is the instant gratification that my generation feels like they are entitled to. Everybody feels like they deserve a trophy for every move they make now
Hey Andy ! Thanks for the new project of silage box .love it! csn not wait to see that John deer whit is engine rebuilt by Jarod .good job! Thanks Andy Hourigan the great and have a good day !
Just great to see Sarah getting right to work on another box - Canadian steel, might have been Stelio steel, made west of Toronto in Hamilton Ontario - once this box is completed I’m sure you’ll be getting seeding equipment prepped. Thanks and have a good weekend cheers
Really enjoying the box building videos Sarah is doing an awesome job and can't wait to hear the tractor run what's going on with the other tractor 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻
I warned you you're going to be replaced. 😆😆 Teaching your kids this experience at a young age that doesn't happen very much now adays. You won't get that out of any school program. Nice job 👍
Good Catch . Some time to many irons in the fire all at once can cost ya . But ya got to keep things moving or ya don't get any thing done . Sarah is really picking up and doing one heck of a nice job on her welding . A tip of the Hat to you young lady ! Kind a wish i lived a tad closer i love too tinker on stuff . But any ways looking forward to the rest of the build and seeing the rest of your helpers Sarah and the A Team lol
I've been to the JD factory in Waterloo IA watching my 9530 being built, then went to the engine factory watching the 9 & 13.5 liter engines being built at that time. Watched the 9 liters come down the assembly line with the oil pan frame & front differential assemblies being mated to the block. Damn strong oil pan. They were doing that to test run the engines after finally assembly
Excellent video the design of the John Deere tractors with the frame being the oil pan is a very good design what I like about it when you rebuild the engine you have to replace the crankshaft seals and all of the gaskets verses the other style of engine when you do a inframe engine overhaul caseih and other manufacturer use the same design and with the front wheel assist axle it packages way nicer and is way stronger I have had replace one of the sub frame front end like that one a New Holland tractor that the customers hire men got stuck bad in the mud and pulled it sideways and cracked the mounting holes for the front axle the casting had to come from Italy and cost just shy of 10000 dollars the customer was super mad at the hired men that broke it and the worst part it was only a couple of years old the customer thought it was a weak spot until he seen the 2 inch thick casting. Keep up the great videos Andy
Your making good use of the Telehandller Andy👌 makes me proud to see Uk's finest being put to good use. Sarah the sparks is A1 on the vertical welding. Its all too easy to offend folk these days 🙉 just keep doing what you're doing Spot on as usual. 👍 Catch the next
On 8000 series engine swaps we normally leave the line bundle connected to the cooling package and just lift the whole unit off the front support and set it off to the side on a barrel, bench, saw horses, etc. Saves a bunch of time and mess not breaking into all those lines and having to refill the hydraulic oil and recovering / recharging the A/C.
Have you ever checked into getting material cut from the steel mill? The metal is made like squirting toothpaste out of a tube then cut to length as it comes off the line. You can save a lot of time and scrap if you have time to wait for the special order. We also ordered sheets in the size needed to avoid weld seams. You have telehandlers to work with it.
Hello Andy and Sarah, Have heard about the largest dairy farm in the US, they didn't say what state it was in. Any way they have a way to reuse their bedding sand, they clean it so it can be used again. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
Steels steel Andy. I used to go with a guy that would load from Hamilton Ontario and run to either defasco in Detroit or to Erie Indiana. It's all kind of mixed together. I as a Canadian I like when you poke fun at us. Im to polite to get mad eh 😂😂. You and Sarah do mighty fine work. You definitely know what your doing 😉😉
Like I told you for Android you do a heck of a job and what you do your daughter is a good weld or you got a good crew God bless all of you have a good day and stay safe
Good content with your video, thank you for sharing. Oh them were the days building a silage trailer, been there in a past life, I loved welding though didn’t like torching,
I’m not sure what the plastic bushings cost but you could find a shop with a cnc lathe and have bronze ones made. The would last a lot longer and may be cheaper in the long run.
dear MR ANDY just thinking on the new frame if you shim just one side . i think your center will off by 1/2 the width of your shim . i hope i am wrong . thank you . love your channel and the whole family . thank PAUL B
Sarah standing there incognito, but what she is really doing is finding dads thoughts on how to build these truck boxes. She might have to build some herself one day if she marries a dairy guy. She will make Andy wonderful grandchildren depending on the galoot she hooks up with. Dating may be her most difficult decision.
I actually like that oil pan design, I didn't notice the dowel pins at first but that's nice to keep the gasket in place and get the block sat down straight. The only downfall is if you wanted to pressure test and check for a leaking liner O-ring it would be nice to pull the pan off to look up inside with the rest of the engine intact, but other than that I would say it's better. Hopefully you made it up to the farm show today. Would've been a good day to come to New York but instead I'm stuck here monkeying around with 6 inches of wet snow
This body shouldn't take as long to build Andy , hopefully you've got all the raw materials ready which I'm sure you have . I also did some trailer building , learn't alot of new skills along the way here in England .

Love it when videos are just right on, no intros one have to sit through every time as many uses)
Sarah is becoming a 1st Class Farmer, Fixer and Fabricator .

I wish that I had half the knowledge of Andy when it comes to fabrication. Thank you for sharing Andy!
Love watching these boxes come together. Jared is doing a great job on 8320
the whole crew is worth y'all's combined weight in gold. And glad to see Jared is getting to enjoy his truck again.
Canadian steel gets made with American ingredients! I'd rather see Canadian steel than Chinese steel any day ! Great video keep up the good work!
It blows my mind that it’s miserable cold with possible snow up there and here in The Villages, it’s sunny and 85°, Sunday 2/27. Great video, as always, you have an awesome family!
My parents are down there until the third then they will be back down in about a week
Never a dull or boring moment at FFF. Actually the polar opposite. Great work, great team and great videos!

Glad your able to get all your steel in and parts were I work we are experiencing a lot of delays in stuff that we ordered over a month ago
I didn't see any mistakes. Great video! All the best to you sir and the A Team!
I thought you had diverged into ship building and laying a new keel here. Tell Sarah that welders earn more than farmers. On a serious note, Sarah is a competent welder. Good luck to Jared on the engine job. Thanks Andy.
Great video Andy and Sarah
Thanks Andy, great video, always amazed by the large number of implements, tractors and trucks and other equipment it takes to operate your dairy farm.
Hi. Alex. Sara. Yall. Do. Good. Job
Very good no mistakes poor canadian steel, jokes and lots of fun. What more can I ask for, glass of cold milk, maple syrup, pancakes eggs and bacon. Have a great day.
Nice work guys and gal's.
No mistakes; just a deviation from plan. A good grinder; welder’s best friend. As Sgt Schultz would say, “I see nothing, I hear nothing.” What happens in Andy's shop stays in Andy’s shop. Another great video.
It's good to see you Andy and hear you, fun to see your children are involved in screwing and welding etc.
We use spray on rubberized black stuff under the floor matts in tractor cabs to stop rust
Thanks again Andy! I like hearing the how any why regarding your design choices. Your secret about having a mythical beam stretcher is safe with me! :-)
You rock WNY agriculture! Love it!!
Great job welding Sarah
Great family hard-working kid you got there. Good time to have Andrew work with his brother and little more about mechanics and get some experience Sarah does a great job welding fabricating I guess she got that from her dad keep up the great videos handy and you can Talk with your hands

It’s a shame we don’t make steel there anymore. Those old buildings and yards sit empty and falling apart.
Nice Andy, enjoying your work 😎🇦🇺
Good job Andy I see you have your #1 worker doing an excellent job like she always does.
Andy you have so much on your mind a small mistake is okay every now and then. Field in Michigan
good way to offset the down season of farming by building these truck beds. Maintenance and regular cattle tending is enough but the overflow staff tend that. great to see all busy. Great videos
I sure like watching your videos Andy , it’s up my alley , I retired from conrail ,now Norfolk southern as a welder , Sarah is a good worker
Oh hey thanks for clarifying about the Canadian steel thing. I was pretty offended when you said that but now that you've cleared it up I do feel much better

Way to go Andy like usual you did a great job with a nother video and always good to see Sarah in the videos she is a fine young woman God bless
this will definitely be very interesting with your new project! Yes, Andy, everyone is hard at work 😉😉😉 all good!!!! 👍👍👍👋👋👋🤝🤝🤝🇩🇪
Mistake what mistake I'm saying nothing, good to see the brilliant weld done by your chief welder Sarah, she really does do a good weld
I get steel from Nivert and they have to tarp everything with regular tarps. That tarp system on that truck is very handy!
Hey Andy !
Thanks for the new project of silage box .love it!
csn not wait to see that John deer whit is engine rebuilt by Jarod .good job!
Thanks Andy Hourigan the great and have a good day !

Great work guys. I miss having a shop full of people working. It was always rewarding to see projects come together
Thank you Andy your videos are always informative and entertaining.Very nice job on the bodies.its cool that it's a family thing.
Keep up the great job Andy Sarah your dad is teaching you very good Alex an jr I hope to see you all welding you have great welding skills Sarah
I warned you you're going to be replaced. 😆😆
Teaching your kids this experience at a young age that doesn't happen very much now adays. You won't get that out of any school program. Nice job 👍

I see you got the cutie welding again, Tim your a good worker Sara.......
Thanks Andy can't wait till the next one. Another great video
Best thing to come to watch after school. Love it man, also have a good rest of your day.
Like I told you for Android you do a heck of a job and what you do your daughter is a good weld or you got a good crew God bless all of you have a good day and stay safe
You guys are good. Great job on these winter projects. The Canadian steel was a great investment
Sarah dose a great job welding. Andy I won't tell anyone about your mistake 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great video andy ,,if anyone deserves a new shop its yous,,maybe a big fancy one like larson farms lol.
Just goes to show you it's not the size of the building, it's about the guy inside the building
True Adam
Your welder is doing great!
Enjoyed the show,FFF learning channel, I like to watch your videos.

Hello Andy,loved the episode, them kid's of yours are some workers.
Great video Andy thank you.
Good content with your video, thank you for sharing. Oh them were the days building a silage trailer, been there in a past life, I loved welding though didn’t like torching,
ننتظر المزيد من التفاصيل عن مشروعك الجديد.....بالتوفيق
She is an excellent welder. 💪
Learning to catch and fix your mistakes is the next higher skill level.
I’m not sure what the plastic bushings cost but you could find a shop with a cnc lathe and have bronze ones made. The would last a lot longer and may be cheaper in the long run.
dear MR ANDY just thinking on the new frame if you shim just one side . i think your center will off by 1/2 the width of your shim . i hope i am wrong . thank you . love your channel and the whole family . thank PAUL B
No the shim just sets the gap wider on the distance between sills
Sarah is a rock star
If one never made a mistake, one would never learn anything creative!
It's one of the key things I teach my interns.. don't be afraid to fail, you learn from failure 🍻
Agreed! My career and life are better because of making mistakes and learning from them.
Its good to see a girl that can weld tell her good work
Sarah standing there incognito, but what she is really doing is finding dads thoughts on how to build these truck boxes. She might have to build some herself one day if she marries a dairy guy. She will make Andy wonderful grandchildren depending on the galoot she hooks up with. Dating may be her most difficult decision.
Wallis Tractors, a predecessor to the Massey Harris Tractors had a combined oil pan and frame like your John Deere.

Yeah we went to the show
This body shouldn't take as long to build Andy , hopefully you've got all the raw materials ready which I'm sure you have . I also did some trailer building , learn't alot of new skills along the way here in England .
Thanks
Andy make a extension for the jcb on a quick hitch will get to full roof height at ease
Andy i have been double doseing on the Garatal i might be able to out run Sara now
Great job as always
you should make a lifting jib for the front of your telehandler,.....soooo handy ,i have one on my 7810 loader :)
