One of the most entertaining videos ever!! Dougo and Chet together...........I got a lot of laughs out of this one....love you guys!
The struggle is real. Nice to see y'all working together and laughing. God bless!
Them days happen. Sometimes to often.
I really love seeing you and your dad bond like that you are both fun to watch
So nice to see a father and son work together like best friends
Oh! There's the problem right there, it says "Dodge"🤣
Warns Chet not to get tangled up and then proceeds to put the rope over Chet's head. I love these guys! I would have loved to see Brody swimming in the corn. Good stuff guys!
You guys r the best duo for father and son. Keep up the great work
You two do make an entertaining combination
Great video Chet and Dougo
The hardest video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I work in a rock quarry and did strictly maintenance for 3 + years. Changed belts, bearings and gearbox’s on the regular. Now that I’m a supervisor I forbid impacts of any size near a taper lock bushings and push bolts. My theory is you can feel it before it breaks to see if you need a torch. Glad y’all have this done by now and I hope you tightened all bolts evenly on the taper lock.
Terrible news Dougo, I think it's 1-1/8" 😂🤣 Comedy Gold...... Thanks Larsons
Here I am a a stagehand watching farmers fight the environment and mechanical issues. And I never miss an episode
wow - that was like a Circus act - tossing the wrench all that way and catching it so easily - well done to both of you 🚜 🚜 🚜 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜 🚜 🚜
This is just how things where with my dad ,laughter and messing right when things were supposed to be serious ,never knew what the jester will say or do next. I miss that .
Please share. Let's make this go viral.
Lol nice bud thanks guys👍 hopefully you film getting it back up there!
It just so happens I work for a hoist company. Looks like you boys could use a nice Harrington chain hoist 😂
Smart idea to lower the gear box by rope. It was good to rehearse the procedure in your mind. Your discussion about the squirrel getting involved in jamming the belt brought back a hunting memory when we were moose hunting up in northern Alberta. We were taking the moose to the butcher and there was a truck accident on the main highway to Hinton. We had to stay in a motel overnight. We returned to our 5th wheel trailer the next afternoon. The fan motor was making a terrible noise. The problem was that a mouse got caught in the furnace squirrel cage fan. It only cost about $250 to get it fixed at the RV dealer when we got back to cowtown. I paid the bill. I figured it was reasonable accommodation for $250. The mouse did not fare very well. It was dead. By the way, the moose tasted great. We split it three ways. 😊
Nobody reads comments more than 4 lines
Ken guess I'm no body then. Love hearing peoples stories. All the good ones are more than four lines.
@@kenhofer8063 I'm a nobody too then.
You two together is pure gold
I recommend you get The Big Swede on the re installation of that gearbox! Use him on as a counterweight!
I'm wonderin' if he got stuck in Hawaii/Key Wext?
wrench toss n catch was great!
It’s Awesome watching you and your Dad workin together. Glad to see Toby back on the farm. Thanks For The Vidga’s. Love Toby. Had a Beagle that was a twin to him.
Maybe the gearbox is back at the top by the time I’m writing this but we had to do the same thing. I’d recommend a pulley and a long rope. Either hook the rope to a side by side or pull with a couple guys on ground. Much safer to get it to the top. Be safe!
Some pulleys, rope and an open drum capstan winch on the 4x4 would come in handy....up and down controllably
thank you
I will never get tired of watching your videos, you all are just to much fun
The interactions between chet and dougo had me dying. So entertaining. Thanks for the video!
Father and Son what a team, just love your sense of humor.
Just a Fyi. My granddad worked on legs. when we had to change motors , gearboxes anything heavy we would rig a pulley at top. attach broken piece to top. Then go to bottom and attach new part. When you carefully lower old part it will bring up new part. lot easier to control and you dont hurt yourself. make sure pulley and rope are rated for wieght.
Best video ever…ropes around Chet’s neck….having fun until someone gets hurt…..
Team Toby too!!
The only thing I can say is oh my. Good luck getting the new gearbox up there 😊
I concur, one of the most entertaining videos ever. But, one of the most educational. The camaraderie and love shown in the face of strugglin' is unmatched on any other farming channel.
U guys r so funny just b careful Love you guys
Good show
great to see tobey back
Winter work looks fun ... Glad I am in Australia!
You two, I swear! Get down from there! My gosh!
Yes mom... Lol
Have a good day!! 👍
Tells you not to get tangled up in the rope as Duggo puts it around your neck 🤣😂😂😂. I was laughing so hard.
Great video guys. Thank you
Love when you yell to douggo in the screechy voice
Ok you guys had me on the edge of my seat. I loved how your dad looked at you when you were talking about something tragic happening “shut up is what he said with his eyes” I watch every video and never comment, but this one had me laughing and freaked out all in one. Be safe and maybe a harness bungee when your in those bins tied to the top of the bin entrance so if anything ever happened you guys would be ok. Just a random thought.
Great Video Laughed so had tears.
Got the same gear boxes at the top of both of our grain legs. Ten years old and no issues yet. This video is a good reminder I better at least change the oil and do an inspection on them.
The wrench throwing was classic ! Y’all had me laughing out loud 🇺🇸
On a scale of 1 -10....it was a 15!
Great job guys
Love watching father and son working together.
Love the comedy of you two
the best video ive seen in a long time ....thank you
Chet looks like you guys have another snow storm heading your way. Feb 28 2023
That would be today bud
That is correct its on its way to them out of north dakota an south dakota as this is reply
Dougo and Chet. Dream Team!
Love you guy's 👍🇺🇸 So much fun!
Magnifique vidéo et le cilo
Great video.
“Tom foolery and elevation don’t mix” 😂 top five funniest LF video produced!
Great video 👍 👍
Team Dougo!!
Get yourself a badlands winch for offroad trucks and fabricate a bracket that fits somewhere up on the catwalks.
A portable hoist with a basket would be a nice addition to the grain elevator system.Even a windlass with a gin pole would work well .Doing that kind of work by hand is very dangerous!😮
This was one of the entertaining videos in a long time 😂😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good to see the main boss back in action. Toby!
Great throw Dougo!!
Love watching you and dougo it’s really funny
I crush gravel besides farming. Those dodge gearbox’s and bearing are some of the best there is. Unfortunately there is no ryhme or reason as to when they are gonna fail. We change the gearbox oil every year. Either 220 or we switched everything to synthetic 150. Yes those gearbox’s can be rebuilt, that’s what we do when one fails just make sure it’s a dodge you get back not a Chinese one. There should be one around Alex as central specialties would have lots of gearboxes to be rebuilt. Not sure if superior in morris would have anything like that either
Enjoyed this video😊❤
He completely draped that rope over your hood on purpose with a smile on his face.😂 I was thru your neck of the woods today. What a mess the roads were. 40mph with a loaded grain trailer. This video made me chuckle after an intense day of driving.
Tobyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 👍👍👍👍👍 That was a funny video fellas 😅
Good video!
That looked like a real pain, but at least you were able to get it down safely. Wonder if a belay device would be of use to you, you know the stuff rock climbers use to let themselves down a rock face. Easy to use and can handle a lot of weight. Good luck! Good job getting it down and keeping us entertained. Thanks
Hello from way up north in Saskatchewan I giggle when u say it's cold out it was -39 blow all weekend this past weekend when we were ice fishing
Here I have been driving around in 87deg weather with bright sunshine ! Oh! the Houston, Texas weather....
Great video
And finally... Hey Broddy every good super trucker caries a piss jug 🤣😂🤣😂. I hear Gatorade mega mouth bottles work the best.
Moma Mia what an intro.
Reminds me of my Dad and I lowering and hoisting a 5hp motor for a silo unloader 40 feet up in the air with a rope and our hands. Don’t remember how much it weighted but it wasn’t light.
If you get the gear box fixed in Alix, would the gear-head be a "smart alex"? 😂
Would you believe that it should be “ Alec” a coworker of mine is from there and corrects us every time we say Alex.
Another classic!
Just a suggestion for getting the gearbox back up.......BIG SWEDE.🤣🤣
Yes you need a davit arm or two and a winch for lifting the motors and gearboxes to the top of the grain legs
Shuffling 🙌
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while!
Dodge Industrial makes a decent gear reducer. 80% of the time a failure is lube related. So if it was properly filled at install it should be ok at 3 years. Really no huge leak indicators on the outside. With that said, standard oil is good for 4000 hours, synthetic is good for 8000. No way you have anywhere close to that many hours in three years on a grain leg.
Ditch the belts and go to a direct drive SEW.
Block and tackle will help hoist that motor back up
Old school block and tackle would work well in that situation.
Chet, dougo 💪✌
I agree with the pulley comments, but I'll go further. Marine grade stainless pulleys won't rust up on you, dacron rope won't degrade in the sun, and a nice cleat to tie it off securely. Not only is it nice to raise and lower equipment, but you can have a 5 gal bucket full of tools up there waiting when you get to the top of the ladder.
we use dodge gear boxes on our crushing plant we dont have oil in them and they have been filled with grease for probably 10 years also if u need regular bearing housings we use TIMKIN and they work great
You can get replacemnt jaws and base blokes for pipe wrenches
I couldn’t help but laugh watching Chet and Dougo on struggle bus. (Rope around the neck broke me, lol) what a great father/son moment. Thank God for farmers like you, we have a chance at keeping the dream alive.
All good...as long as no Toby was harmed in the making of....👍💪🎯🤣🙃😂🙂😂🤣
Play it safe everyone! Heeling up from a broken arm from slipping on the ice near our hog barn.
Heal quickly!
No rehearsal needed, you can take this act on tour of comedy clubs.
Howdy Chet, Howdy Dougo,
I like how your Dad said " don't get tangled in the rope " as he drops the rope around your neck..😳
After that, and I really mean this, Stay safe....and Farm on my Friends, Peace
I know. They just can't make this stuff up. So genuinely entertaining and informative. I just love these two together doin' life.
WOW @ 17:41 in the video I seen the Chinese balloon in the sky LOL LOL LOOK..
14:40 thanks dad lol
Dougo Chet and Broodie that was great enjoyed it that gear box seen better days why don't we have a backup we do for most everything else or is it a cost factor should have a maintenance time to monitor and check of the gear boxes and catch these things before they get this bad I think Chet did it while Dougo was away on vacation yea that's it.
Thats surprising that dodge gearbox went bad...ive worked on them for almost 40 years and had really good luck, looks like the seal went out and all the oil went bye bye...too bad, good job fella
Lotta action in this one
Now to pull it back up there
U guys should install a snatch block 2 your dens and pull it up with a truck or side by side
The jib crane and winch sounds like a better deal and safer.
Draw arrows on conveyor which direction it rotate so Dougo knows which way to turn wrench
"I'll bring the monkey wrench" Snort Laughing!
Cool hearing the Minnesotan slang Alec for Alexandria
