I am always utterly amazed at the ingenuity, camaraderie and professionalism that is the Welker Farms trio! A shoutout to your editor also as the videos have consistent sound levels and are edited in a way that makes what you are doing somewhat understandable for an ignoramus like myself!
I love when you guys are working in the shop. There is so much mechanical and engineering talent between the three of you that I doubt there's nothing you can't build or fix.
My Dad used to say (when he got old), " The vague memories of an old man have more knowledge in them than a new encyclopedia... it's accessing them that's the problem." That has become so true, the older I get. Great jobs guys!
With how handy you guys are you must have neighbors coming over all the time needing help with this or that. If nothing else, even being able to crimp your own hydraulic hoses is super nice
Yeah. I had a couple hoses made up for my little tractor and it was over $200! And they aren't even clocked alike, even though he insisted he could do it. I wish I could run over to the Welker's place and do some horse trading. At least I know it'd be done right.
I did"nt hear no one say: Bob, clean the shop! But he do! That shows he do the necessary job. You see where you"ve been. Good job man. The magnum looks different in the lights now. Please be safe. You know, who climb high can fall deep. I rather talk to you than about you. 😇
Dads have pretty good ideas now and then. Mine did and though he wasn't very mechanical he saved every nut, bolt, metal, wood and little knickknack whatever it was. He's gone now, but all those things have been saving my bacon for the last 10 years. Love them and appreciate them now. One day you can't.
Went to a an old engine/tractor show. A guy was there with a bunch of 2 stroke equipment on a trailer with a sign, "$15.00 for any saw." There was a cut off/demo saw in the mix! Didn't take me long to cherry pick that one! Looks like it had been ran over. The support that connects the engine to the cutting part was broken. Brought it home, put some fuel in it, and it ran and idled! Asked a friend who has a TIG welder to weld the broken part. Now I just need to make the time to put it back together!
Leg Arms, you’re like the Mad Scientist with equipment 👍👍 Suggestion: get some liquid Flex Seal to coat the inside of the metal cup holder. It will cushion and protect your coffee cups as you bounce across the field. I’ve used that stuff for lots of projects and it works great to form a rubber coating.
Glad to see LegArms LegArm getting back to normal. I could see for a long time he favored it which is understandable. It is just good to see him finally getting back to normal.
I always enjoy watching you guys do shop work. You take what you have and make it better and work for you. If you don't have it, you make it. I've always said that farmers are the best engineers and you guys really are. Stay safe and God bless.
The ingenuity you guys posses to fabricate anything you need always impresses me. I’m an automotive tech so I have the ability to work with my hands no problem, but I really struggle with the “creativity” of making a concept and building something out of nothing like you guys do, great job as always.
Brothers, gotta love em, always giving up the business lol. My order Brothers have been doing that to me for 51 years now lol since birth. Watching your wonderful family really takes me back when my dad was alive and the family was always doing things together working on cars whatever it was good times and I miss that. You folks give me warm fuzzy feels and I thank you for that. Awesome
Your videos are always great they're always entertaining Love watching you guys work with your dad. But Nick and Scott do you really realize how lucky you are to have your dad and who he is. My dad's 89 and almost is funny your dad's funny no matter what he's heartfelt he's sincere he's everything everybody wants and a dad and thank you for sharing him with the rest of us
Nick I hope your shoulder is feeling better. I had shoulder surgery 4 years ago, my Doctor called it the Brett Favre surgery. Had my bicep pinned a couple tendons cut and one more thing they cut my collar bone loose at the shoulder since it is loose by my neck so now it floats, made it really hard to pull start anything. My recovery was only a couple weeks and I was better than 50% and at 4 weeks able to do more than I could before surgery. I wish you the best with your shoulder I know how it affects everything even sleep. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.
A word of advice. when rebuilding a 2-stroke, always replace the crank seals if/when you can. A leaking crank seal will cause hard starting, idle hanging and more due to it drawing unregulated air by seal creating a lean condition.
Leg Arms > You are amazing. Awesome job on that tractor. Hope Nicks shoulder /arm comes out ok without having to do surgery. Put ice on your shoulder for 15min on and off few times a day if you can.. I over did my arm this last month and ice and took over counter meds for swelling and pain.. After a few weeks my arm/ shoulder is back to norm. But you are going to have to baby it for awhile. God Bless you all.. Leg Arms awesome video on the tractor. wow
If you do have surgery on your shoulder praying everything goes good. We had an older lady from church who had surgery last year after she fell and messed her shoulder up. Somehow some of her nerves weren't reconnected so now she can't do much with that arm. She is blessed and has a wonderful husband that takes very good care of her. He's even been learning how to cook and bake bread. 🙂🙂🙂
The guy watching sometimes comes up with the best idea, as he has his head working that problem while your working the main issue. You guys are great at collaborative thinking. God bless you guys
Love the maintenance and modifications you guys carry out. Always a nice smooth vibe to your content which makes for a very relaxing experience guys. Keep up the very good work. Love from Scotland and God Bless. 🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️🙏🏼
Nick I hope and pray 🙏 for you I had to have shoulder surgery it has never been the same but everyone is not the same as for what is wrong with it... Prayers for you and your family... Stay Safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏
Brad! Huge respect! You're mechanical skills are off of the charts! Thanks again for sharing your early learning issues! I worked for every C I got in my highschool classes! Not a whole lot came easy! Thus my channel name! I'm 56 and only now realizing my potential!
Hi legarms, when i was in the navy a radioman broke down the thingies, knobs you twist, switchs you flip, and buttons you mash. As always with Great respect 🙏 👏
Hi. Been watching your channel for a long time. I'm a real fan of fixing thing's instead of just throwing it away and buying new, We couldn't afford that mindset., money was tight. So I learned to make it or fix it. I grew up with the belief that in most case's if someone could make it, I could fix it . Worked pretty well for me. I gained a lot of different skills that always kept me employed when jobs were hard to find. That doesn't seem like a very common skill nowadays. Farm boys rock! Dan R
Consider modifying the loader valve body to load sensing. With a couple of check valves and a little plumbing, the loader valve body can be plumbed directly to the pump.
Your ingenuity and knowledge just amaze’s me every time I watch one of your video’s. Thanks for sharing and Nick I hope everything with your shoulder checks out ok!
I like watching you working your fields, but I am absolutely amazed at your mechanical and technical abilities in the shop. Thank you for the great videos
24:52 with that filter somebody else i watch on youtube says not to prefill your filter because it may allow unseeable contaminemts to get in there. he is a mechanic btw so i trust his word
You guys Rock. Leg Arms you went over the top on your change and repairs. Nick You are trying to get things caught up and doing fine. Now Mr Bob I dont think any one would do what you are doing with the walls and ceiling but OMG what a change.. You sir are dedicated. to your jobs.
Great video guys! The Magnum is really going to be a new tractor. It looks good even before a paint job and chrome stack. The hydraulic issue reminds me of a John Deere 300 Industrial my Dad had. It had a loader on it also. The hydraulics never worked well, loader sluggish. Sometimes turning the steering wheel helped the loader but not for long. We knew that the rear remote worked better with the loader hydraulics unhooked. We had people look at but know one could figure it out. After 20 years and I had move away, I was in his shop and noticed new loader valve controls. I asked what was up and Dad finally found someone who pinpointed the problem which was the loader valves were bypassing pressure. A new set did the trick. Fast forward 10 years or so and I have a neighbor who had an old tractor with a loader and the same issues as Dad's tractor. I told him about Dad's solution. He looked at me like I was a silly child. A couple months later he told me he found the problem with his tractor. He changed o-rings in the loader valves because they were bypassing pressure. Wow, I wish I had thought of that!
Nice oil pan drain system. I pulled some muscles doing something dumb last weekend: sailing a tarp like a kite. About pulled my arms off this 67 year man.
Those saws are not high on my list of liked saws. Used ones like them in the fire service. K12's are a 'monster' when trying to saw open a angled roof. Roof ladder and then a Halligan Entry Tool buried in the roof. So to support your other foot while trying to saw. They replaced those with Shark ventilation chain saws and they seem to work lot better for normal roofs. Otherwise they are great for ground work like sawing concrete / steel etc. Soon be spring - NW IL should be in the 50's starting next week for daily highs and 30s for night lows. Spring planting is just around the corner for us and a bit later for you. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe and God Bless.
I can't wait to see what you guys do next to the Magnum! Great content as always. Really helping me through some rough patches this year. Take care and God bless!
I feel your pain, Nick. A couple years ago I dinged my collarbone. I found I had to learn new ways of doing lots of things. Luckily it was on my left side and I'm right handed. May God give you a quick recovery.
Your dad and his Puns are amazing 👏
For someone that claims to be dyslexic, you went way over my head.
Great job 👏
Dr Chop and the 7140 need some one on one time, as always Welkers, Love the content!!!!
Glad to see y’all raising your dad up on a pedestal. Glad to see Bob starting the new year with a clean slate.
Sorry my pun game is pretty week compared to Bob the pun master Welker.

Get better soon Nick praying for you so you don't have to have surgery

Happy tractor’s happy farmers!! Rob from the 🇬🇧🍺

*- Nice loader hydraulic fab. installation.*
Glad to see LegArms LegArm getting back to normal. I could see for a long time he favored it which is understandable. It is just good to see him finally getting back to normal.
Thanks for sharing. My Dad's last tractor, right before he retired, was a 7130 Magnum Case IH. :)
I see how happy you are every time you see the Big Buds.
Great to see all 3 of you men working in the shop once again. Looking forward to seeing spring planting and awesome fall harvest.
Your dad cleaning the ceiling is kind of like a bridge painter when they are done they start on the other end. Looks good.
I always enjoy watching you guys do shop work. You take what you have and make it better and work for you. If you don't have it, you make it. I've always said that farmers are the best engineers and you guys really are. Stay safe and God bless.
Dad and Scott really know how to get it Done ! Great innovators and recyclers indeed !
Scott would probably say that Nick's been taking it easy for years, no? Lol--you guys are so humble, I love it!
All hands on the Magnum! 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Praying for your quick healing Nick. LegArms, I sure didn't know what you was doing but I'm sure glad you did. Really nice work, all you guys.👍👍👌
The ingenuity you guys posses to fabricate anything you need always impresses me. I’m an automotive tech so I have the ability to work with my hands no problem, but I really struggle with the “creativity” of making a concept and building something out of nothing like you guys do, great job as always.
I wish I had even 1% of your guys knowledge and skill.
Appreciate it, but some of our 1% are more comprehensive than others here at Welker Farms... Leg Arms... Cough cough 😁
@@WelkerFarms let's just say cumulative knowledge and skill.
Hay Hollywood, I saw your yankem rope commercial. Very 😎
Nice fitting work. There is always a way.
We love what the Welker famiy farms are doing , God bless ya all.
The loader itself would look sweeter if it was fresh painted Case Red 👍😎
Blessed love my friends, love the videos.
Bob’s puns 😂🤣 This video seem to go very fluidity, I raise my loader bucket to you guys 👍🏾
Cup holders are a absolute need for the morning joe........go Legarms.
Legarms you are a very impressive person to say the least
Brothers, gotta love em, always giving up the business lol. My order Brothers have been doing that to me for 51 years now lol since birth. Watching your wonderful family really takes me back when my dad was alive and the family was always doing things together working on cars whatever it was good times and I miss that. You folks give me warm fuzzy feels and I thank you for that. Awesome
great video. Bob you should build new building the future . Colby taking it easy these days,
LegArms, you astound me every time with your abilities 🙏🙏🙏👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Your videos are always great they're always entertaining Love watching you guys work with your dad. But Nick and Scott do you really realize how lucky you are to have your dad and who he is. My dad's 89 and almost is funny your dad's funny no matter what he's heartfelt he's sincere he's everything everybody wants and a dad and thank you for sharing him with the rest of us
We understand Nick, You're too heavy for
light work & too light for heavy work. Gotcha.
!
easy for you!!! Bob's puns never stop!!!
Leg Arms Rocks, he truly does!
Chet should be proud of the "junk" assessment!
Nick I hope your shoulder is feeling better. I had shoulder surgery 4 years ago, my Doctor called it the Brett Favre surgery.

Greatest channel ever. But when you guys are working in the shop the videos are the best of the best.
Glad you like them!

As usual you guys blow my mind on all the stuff you do. Think you need to get your dad a helper for the cleaning job.
Closed center hyd on tractor with an open center valve on loader. They don’t mix well. Great work!
You guys are the best!!
I am of the opinion that every farm needs a Leg Arms.
Love the way you guys aren’t afraid to tackle any job.
Pops is cleaning the ceiling shiny white and LA's blows coal onto it...kids!
Nice job Nick, just take it easy pal. Love your Dads quips, always makes me smile. 🙏🙏👍👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
Frozen Shoulder is a quite common issue. And yes it is VERY painful.
Leg Arms > You are amazing. Awesome job on that tractor. Hope Nicks shoulder /arm comes out ok without having to do surgery. Put ice on your shoulder for 15min on and off few times a day if you can.. I over did my arm this last month and ice and took over counter meds for swelling and pain.. After a few weeks my arm/ shoulder is back to norm. But you are going to have to baby it for awhile.

Hey Nick …
I don’t think 6 months recovery time …
Your much healthier than most folks … you’ll heal just fine
Genuinely genius engineering, guys. Great to watch.
Love the maintenance and modifications you guys carry out.
Always a nice smooth vibe to your content which makes for a very relaxing experience guys.
Keep up the very good work.
Love from Scotland and God Bless.
🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️🙏🏼
Our 1991 5140 has a Westendorf loader and thankfully it has none of the mess I see on your unit. It runs off the rear hydrualic circuits.
"I think it's all in your head." I'm dead xD
Nick I hope and pray 🙏 for you I had to have shoulder surgery it has never been the same but everyone is not the same as for what is wrong with it... Prayers for you and your family... Stay Safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏
Nice little teaser at the end Nick. Always look forward to the Big Buds getting unleashed. Great Video. Nice Job on the tractor Leg Arms.
Good luck with the shoulder, recovering one of them myself
I tell you what, I can't believe there was a time without electric impacts, man they have changed the game.
My husband had his shoulder fixed surgery after a long recovery its a lot better
love your Dad's puns - it's all in your head! LOL!
Brad! Huge respect! You're mechanical skills are off of the charts!
Thanks again for sharing your early learning issues! I worked for every C I got in my highschool classes! Not a whole lot came easy! Thus my channel name! I'm 56 and only now realizing my potential!

Thank you and good to see Bob is getting up in the world. Take care and God bless.
We had to do same thing on a Cat 416 backhoe that we added a vibratory too.

I used to use a 7140 to pull terraced leveys for crawfish ponds. It was hard work for the tractor but it handled it like a champ.
And God bless you and your Family.🥰
Yall have got to get your Dad to an open mic night.. is he always like that?
Its great to see you achieving and getting stuff to work.
You guys Rock. Leg Arms you went over the top on your change and repairs. Nick You are trying to get things caught up and doing fine. Now Mr Bob I dont think any one would do what you are doing with the walls and ceiling but OMG what a change.. You sir are dedicated. to your jobs.
Very impressive job of "shop engineering" work on that hydraulic setup!
Again it is great to see you guys manufacture things up. I really enjoy watching you at work, keep it up.
"It's all in your head" Punny :)
Yep! 😂😂

I feel your pain, Nick. A couple years ago I dinged my collarbone. I found I had to learn new ways of doing lots of things. Luckily it was on my left side and I'm right handed. May God give you a quick recovery.
Great day at the Welker farm , hope your MRI is good news , good job on the hydraulic rebuild … the wall cleaning is looking good!
Great job you guys are so handy keep it up
