Run pro long afmt oil additive in it it’ll cut the temps way down it’s an anti friction material we run in in our semi rear ends it cut the temps down almost 50 degrees we even run it in our John Deere rotary swather cutter bars and the wobble gear box on our sickle swathers !
My Dad worked with me on the ranch until his age of 78. The last job in the shop we were installing ceramic seal in a 6" pump. We finish the job and he asked if he could retire. Of course Yes was my answer, he pasted 4 years later. It is so cool to see your Dad in the shop with his sons enjoying and teaching the next generation. Keep it going and God Bless .
Good for him admitting to you he was just tired and hurting, you would have felt much worse had he collapsed in the shop one day and passed then you would blame yourself "did I push him too hard should have insisted he quit working" I pretty much quit working before he did at 74 knew that was it for me getting old sucks but we all get there and much sooner than we expected don't take long to get old......
My Father worked with me into his mid 80's. Was a great time, he's been gone since 1994. When I am working in my shop I still see him doing things in my mind. We had a good time together.
Nice to see the repairs in the shop on the Big Bud. Not sure I could have videoed working in our shop with my dad when we were farming, he had a temper and threw tools. I still miss farming, dad calmed down quite a bit as he got older. It’s amazing how heavy that Bud is built. I’m surprised that the drop box didn’t have an oil cooler on it. Thanks for the Videos, nice to see the family keeping the Bud field ready.
I miss the old days of working on the farms with my grandpa and his brothers. They r all gone now but i kept a lifetime of memories and useful knowledge in the shop from those fellas.
I don't care what anybody says, they can laugh all they want at JB Weld, it has got me out of some bad situations that are still holding from 10 years ago.
Awesome guys !!!! The whole family on the farm .. getting stuff done .. and taking time to LAUGH and ENJOY LIFE !!! ❤️👍👍CHEERS to you ALL !! from Québec 🇨🇦👍
Lathes are handy Was glad you both spoke of being careful. It happens to fast. Working in a machine shop you learn safety is a must. My best to you all
Hey Scott, I watch a British Engine build channel called Barum Engines as well. When they are pressing parts like liners into engine blocks they will use two pieces of round bar at 90 degrees between the ram and the spacer blocks. They swear it helps the parts to self center / self align and compensates for any variations in resistance. Just thought I would mention it.
You guys are awesome very intelligent in mechanics a very good Farmers enjoy watching your videos I hope you both enjoy your houses and tell your dad God bless God bless all your families
No mechanic experience here but can watch you for hours sorting out and solving the problems. Golly the lath tips, no long sleeves and cut off the hoody strings, wonder how many caught those. After that made me a bit anxious watching you both on it. Really admire how you can keep all the "older" equipment running. Stay safe, looking forward to you harvesting a record crop this summer.
So great seeing Gpa going on the sled ride with his grandchildren and it’s great that you guys have such footage of it to watch in the future to remember those great times he had with them!!!
2 things Im sure you are already aware of.. Pins with grease holes are prone to cracking/breaking If you put the grease fitting in the pin when you turn its going to shear/break off
Something else instead of diesel to clean that works amazing is a 50/50 blend of ATF and Acetone. Works amazing for busting rusty threads, clean off dirt or grease and the Acetone evaporates, leaving ATF behind as a natural lubricant.
That seal you were holding had a leather seal in it, I'm assuming the tractor is of a certain age? But I'm glad I watched your video, because I saw that product to use on worn shafts! I work in a quarry where we have many gearboxes and a few have worn output shafts where the seal acts on it. So, now I can probably get them sorted thanks to you guys!!
Andy at Farming, Fixing and Fabricating had a similar problem. I don’t remember the name of it but he had a torch like thing that cut a hole straight through a pin that was about six inches in diameter.
The best part of the video was you two ⚒ with your father and he and the grandkids having a ride behind the Big Bud!! That is definitely classic and unique!!!God bless your family lol from Ne Ms T Ellis 😊
Nice to see this old girl gettin some love. Cool watching her work. Been a long while since ive seen a cork seal myself... The ones that usually throw me for a loop are leather, or even more rare, felt...
U joints in work position under full load . Not enough offset angle . So needle bearings don’t swarm . Over time will cause indents in crosses . Since u can’t change the angle . Just use best grease moreys worked very well . Didn’t heat harden and stayed viscus . Won’t let water in or wash out. . Good job on bud ready for more acres . Thanks for fly on the wall view !
If that box still runs hot you could add a pump and cooler similar to what some Motorsports have used on the rear axles to help cool the differentials.
Suggestion for you Scott. I would use red loctite in place of the silicone under the speedy sleeve. The loctite will seal and fill the gaps. Silicone stays ply able and could work out.
I worked on Steiger tractors for a long time and the early models had this same problem when traveled on the road at high speeds they fixed this by adding an oil reservoir and cooling the oil with a radiator
A magnetic based drill would be the perfect tool for removing that pin... I worked in heavy industry for 30 years & the torch was often the preferred method , but all to often it bugars the equipment.
What kind of silicone are you using? Blue is normally for coolant black would be for oil. And as far as the groves in the u joint the groves are frome lack of movement when running so the pins are running in the same area so if you have the farmer plant everything in circles the u-joints will last longer, let me know how that works for you.
Seeing you pull your youngin's with Grandpa on that old cushion/sled takes me back to the late 40's and riding on a scoup shovel behind our 1941 Farmall M. Of course there were the turns that prove a little chancy often resulting in a tumble across the snow but to a six year old it was fun. God Bless.
Buds have such simple, logical design, with easy repair parts. Modern tractor would have electronics, tiny proprietary parts and surely only a tech could fix it and surely a software update etc. this is far superior in my mind
Bearing Brineling. The marks the u joint needles made. Happens with ball bearings also. Had new elevator reducer boxes that had to have bearings replaced because they were stored where there were high frequency vibration from syntron feeders.
Awesome to watch you all work together. I got to work with my Grandpa. I'll never forget his last words. He said: Hey boy, are you still holding the ladder?
I think a better design would have been if the spline were external for the yoke. Then again the yoke will be cheaper to replace if it has grooves worn in.
You've captured the true spirit of a family working side by side for a common goal! Interesting video, wish your family a great season for your crops going forward!
Big Bud magic. Been waiting for you to be back in the shop with those awesome tractors. Your finesse while showing the work is good for all to watch. God Bless You All
The lateral slop in that shaft, repaired with a seal, and speedy sleeve. I have always found seals prevent oil from leaking around a shaft. Bearings prevent lateral play.
Not sure if was just a lack of grease or that bearing needs to be bigger / stronger due to the sheer size of Big Buds, and the resulting load force applied, I mean that has to be constant and repetitive strain right there. Probably best to simply replace on a yearly basis or engine hours maybe?
I appreciate fact that you both repair what needs fixed instead of buying new. My dad always said thats the differece between a true mechanic and a wanna be mechanic. Anyone can replace a part a real mechanic can fix it.
All you need to use on the yoke before installing the sleeve is loctite 620. There is a type of seal which spins within itself and does not spin on the yoke.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I’ve been thinking about you. I asked u awhile ago about wheat prices w/ the war in Ukraine. You said Ag is a global market. As u prob know the EU farmers are protesting all over Europe & why. On top of the ridiculous regs, prices, etc the market is flooded w/ cheap 🇺🇦wheat bc the EU/WEF dropped all the regs, local farmers can’t compete. Is that what’s causing the drop in grain prices here too? The Gateway Pundit had an article a few weeks ago about a think tank as part of the “inflation reduction act” recommending the same restrictions & regs on our farmers. I don’t understand where 🇺🇸is in all this.
Awesome video. I appreciate your “Safety First” commentary around the lathe. Back in my high school days, a classmate almost lost a finger, due to a T-handle left in the chuck. Afterwards, rules 1,2,and 3, T-handle must be in the rack before engaged lathe!! It’s amazing what can be achieved with a lathe, mill and some welding equipment. Great work.
Good job on the repair of the yoke. Another way is to use spray welding on it, but you need the equipment for that. It might behoove you to power wash the underside of the tractor. Then watch for new leaks. Hope you guys can get a "new" big Bud down the road..
As a field fitter and marine technician for the past 40 years I’ve installed speedi sleeves straight on the wet filler with success hence removing the risk of entanglement from the lathe . Great job guys keep it up
Thanks for the longer, more in-depth video. Love watching you guys work on stuff, with all the details, good stuff and the mistakes. Thanks for taking the time to document and edit all this stuff. Cheers
Another great video! Maintenance is key for keeping everything running! You do a great job fixing anything you need to! There's nothing like a BIG BUD..... And there's nothing more fun than being pulled on a sled by a BIG BUD!! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy!
Nick and Scott, on that fused pin, take a kids crayola crayon, and heat the pin and bushing up, and melt the crayon around the pin and the melted crayon wax will be drawn into and around the pin and bushing, like soldering copper tubing. Works on frozen bolts too. Bet your thinking about getting seeding, with this mild winter. Bob I'd been scared to with Nick driving lol
Great video guys and a nice job on the Bud. Love to see your Dad on the sled with the grandkids, good memories for your kids. Take care God bless you 🙏
Thanks for watching! More BUD repairs coming!
Looking forward to the big Bud repairs. Thanks.
Great video as always !
Never ceases to amaze me what you all can do mechanically on those buds.

Must have been quite a moment between you two that day. One you won’t forget
Loved seeing Grandpa sledging with the grandchildren. Not everyone can say that they have been sledging behind a Big Bud tractor, very cool. 😎
It's so inspiring to see you all working together. Bob, you must be very proud of your sons.

Only the Welkers can make doing these kind of jobs working on a tractor interesting. Was sad when it ended.

Is lathe a groove proper machining term. ?
“Turning a groove” is proper.
We love big bud!! Seen it test the sled at the MAC Trailer Winter Nationals last year!
Thanks for sharing the Big BUD repair...Blessings
So great seeing Gpa going on the sled ride with his grandchildren and it’s great that you guys have such footage of it to watch in the future to remember those great times he had with them!!!

Nice work guy's. It's about time for pops to take us on another road trip, i really enjoy those. Y'all take care.
that u joint needs 2 grease fittings in it 1 at 12:00 and 1 at 3:00 that way you have better chance at getting grease in all 4 legs of the u joint
Love your videos your Dad on the car seat slide was awesome brought back old memories

Wow leather, that is cool!
@@WelkerFarms got one or 2 on my 1947 Ford 2N. The piston that lifts the three point arms also has a leather ring.
It sure looked like the "big kid" was enjoying the ride with the little kids-- --you gotta love it!
@@WelkerFarmsI think some of the seals on my 1944 Case SC are leather.
Working at a tractor dealership, they tough me the U-joint is the cross and the two yokes. We replace the cross when we repair a U-joint.
Always nice to see level headed fellas putting their brains to work.
Love the ending,all the kids having fun!!!!❤❤

Thank the Lord, Legarms wasn’t anywhere near that pin on that Bud. Thank you for your sacrifice, Nick
Suggestion for you Scott. I would use red loctite in place of the silicone under the speedy sleeve. The loctite will seal and fill the gaps. Silicone stays ply able and could work out.
23:59 was the best part
Great video, and I am sure that the little ones will remember that sled ride with Grandpa forever!❤
Awesome Family video, working and playing together ❤️This is the way everyone should grow 🙏🤗
A good long episode, great to see you guys
I'm so jealous! I'd love to work on those huge farming vehicles.
I worked on Steiger tractors for a long time and the early models had this same problem when traveled on the road at high speeds they fixed this by adding an oil reservoir and cooling the oil with a radiator
Original recipe JB weld is fantastic stuff, JB quick does set up very fast but it has as little strength as Elmer glue.
I like How "Slim" stays active. And the sleigh ride was fun! Watching that yoke in the lathe was terrifying.
SLEDDING BEHIND THE BUD WAS GREAT WE USE TO USE GRANDPAS FARMALL H FUN TIMES TO REMBER THANK YOU 😊
A magnetic based drill would be the perfect tool for removing that pin...
I worked in heavy industry for 30 years & the torch was often the preferred method , but all to often it bugars the equipment.
Would have loved to have a magnetic drill! We need to get one but wow they are pricey.
Buy one from vevor@@WelkerFarms
@@WelkerFarmscheck vevore,they have em
CLEAN THE SHOP, Legarms! I sure enjoyed this one!
😂 Thanks for watching
Looks like a lot of precision guess work WELL DONE! Farmers have always been on the cutting edge of engineering marvels.
Pretty cool with the speedy sleeves. What a chain box! Now let's see a 20 row plow behind that beast.
What kind of silicone are you using? Blue is normally for coolant black would be for oil. And as far as the groves in the u joint the groves are frome lack of movement when running so the pins are running in the same area so if you have the farmer plant everything in circles the u-joints will last longer, let me know how that works for you.
them Welker's nipped that Bud..right in the Bud. now i know what nipping Bud is all about. thank you Welker's.
Scott and Dad really know how to get it done and have fun !

Tiger tool U-joint tool works great for the stuck u-joints!
Bearing Brineling. The marks the u joint needles made. Happens with ball bearings also. Had new elevator reducer boxes that had to have bearings replaced because they were stored where there were high frequency vibration from syntron feeders.
Anytime we can see the "little" Big Bud is a great. Seeing how you made the repairs is very entertaining (because I don't have to do the work).
Bob you're one blessed man to be able to work side by side with your boys
I like the idea of silicone on the splines. Keeps dirt and moisture out!
The signs of an actual shop and show shop. Some permanent grease stains even after cleaning
Thank you sirs for bring a smile to this 72 year old grandma.
What a great family the Welkers are. Father and sons working together, doesn't get any better than that.
Awesome to watch you all work together. I got to work with my Grandpa. I'll never forget his last words. He said: Hey boy, are you still holding the ladder?
I remember my uncle taking us for tractor sled rides when I was a kid. Good memories!
Love watching your postings. Farm boys rock!
I think a better design would have been if the spline were external for the yoke. Then again the yoke will be cheaper to replace if it has grooves worn in.
Good job getting the pin out without wrecking the arm and cylinder, love your channel you guys rock
Great video and the repair work was fascinating, but the best part was the kids riding on the sled with Grandpa. Keep the great videos coming!
Maybe look into getting a magnetic drill with anular cutters.
Great to see Grandpa having fun keep serving The Lord
You've captured the true spirit of a family working side by side for a common goal! Interesting video, wish your family a great season for your crops going forward!
