There have been many barns around here that met the same fate, sad to see so much effort put into building it just to let it fall down. Sometimes, though, the cost to fix or usability just isn't there.
Can't help but think that the harvest conditions have aged your combine and cornhead more than a normal season. We've had more issues on frozen ground with gathering chains if there is any amount of down corn. Always hate to track things up very much and fight the ruts after things freeze up. Wish you luck winding things up. This weather has been ugly wet to say the least.
I like your fuel transfer pump. Growing up we had six of those in a row at the farm three were gasoline and three were diesel fuel. I haven't seen one in good shape like that in years that's pretty cool. I've been watching you for a couple of years now and I don't know much about the combine roll over. Do you have a video where you talk about it?
Happy New Year At least the end is near. You'll probably be able to plant wheat wherever you finish cleaning all the muck out of that combine. On the other hand 2024 can't help but be less traumatic.
I couldn't find my JD 15/16 shallow socket, I had to order a bunch of warrenty sockets for my 3/8 set so I ordered a new one. The new ones came in then I found the missing socket🤨
Talking about tools I don't know about at your shop but at mine and in my service truck I really believe there is a black hole that 9/16 and 1/2 and 9mm fall into and disappear damn I can't keep them I mean it's sockets and wrenches LoL
I like keeping all my fingers. I’ll take the 5 minutes to take it apart and do it the safe way, and make sure there’s nothing broke that caused the chain to jump to begin with.
The tracks was $$ well spent with the wet year ypur dealing with.I had a small fuel tank with a hand crank which as you said was a pain sometimes, all I did was take crank off and used my cordless drill to pump the fuel. That made it alot easier and didn't have to worry about people stealing my fuel. Could you possibly use some of those beams from your uncles barn for your leans on your equipment shed??

You're a TROOPER ETHAN!!!💪...Glad You about Done👍 We Live in LENNON-Michigan and had DAD's Buddy bring His 9600 with 6 Brand-New Rice-Tires on It to Help Finish Beans and last 12 Acres It was leaving Rutts as Deep as Top of My Quad's Fenders...What a MESS....and that was beginning of November with a Flat-Field with Old-Tile next to a 20 Foot Creek😤....I can just Imagine what would be Like NOW😭
Buck harbor freight all u want . I bought a damn Milwaukee ¾" impact for 350 battery was 250 n da battery shit on me . Havor freight sells a ½" impact for 179 which i bought for 50 because of a promotion sell that "will" do what the ¾" Milwaukee does. Wouldn't believe it if I didn't use both tools . Its basically all china made crap ! I've also bought expensive tools pd big bucks n found them at harbor freight fir a third of the price . I bought 3 boxes of metric o-rings for what one bix cost at my local pts store . 🤷
I was gonna say. Any retailer would have warrantied that battery unless it failed from user error. Calling something shit because there is a failure in one battery out thousands produced daily is kinda dumb.
@Oliver66FarmBoy yup. That piece my great grandpa's old horse drawn plow and disc r 3 things ill never get rid of when my place gets sold early next year😪
The ROI those tracks provided as far as time is immeasurable. I’m north of you and everything is saturated, nothing is evaporating. Need a freeze or a day or 2 of wind and a little sun. Forecast ain’t showing that! Great video

I’m sure it hasn’t done her any favors
Any thing from farming equipment should be saved.Even to find someone to restore and put in a collection.
Hobo freight tools are what they are. Good for what you said! Every day use not so much, getting out of a pinch perfect.
Pretty much.
Good luck on Sat, Ethan. Hope everything aligns and you get wrapped up. 👍🏻
Thanks.

What a sloppy mess. I feel bad for you, hope you can finish soon. Jeff.
Hope u got that aggravating bepper sensor fixed ? lol Always something; but when ur up n run n u know whats broke n can fix it n carry on .
Pretty soon that corn gonna need a snorkle.... combine is becoming as dirty as a piggie....
Ohhhh...and That "HORRIBLE-FREIGHT" Comment was HILARIOUS...Good-One...
Thanks.

Had you ever felt like you were gonna get stuck with the tracks?
I couldn't find my JD 15/16 shallow socket, I had to order a bunch of warrenty sockets for my 3/8 set so I ordered a new one. The new ones came in then I found the missing socket🤨
That’s how it always works.
I can only imagine how much water is in the hay field you developed last summer.
That’s one sounding mean machine. That diesel sure does roar.

I loose more pliers than anything else.
Fire up the mill and convert to JD gathering chain. Less hassle in the long run.
Did you happen to notice that there is a 9720 combine on tractor house? Take care
Guessing your not going to mud bogs this summer.lol Keep the faith man best wishes for this next year
Really hope the weather comes right soon so you can get finished
I’ve missed some videos did you get a new john deer or what’s the story with it
I believe I mentioned earlier that the vibration was going to break things..
Good luck..
Oh no, it broke a couple sheet metal pieces that had been broke to begin with. Guess the whole machine is scrap.
Gear wrenches are so handy. Your getting it done.
How often do you have a wet fall?
However often Mother Nature decides to give us one.
Surprised you don't know the trick to put the chains back on with out any tools..
I like keeping all my fingers. I’ll take the 5 minutes to take it apart and do it the safe way, and make sure there’s nothing broke that caused the chain to jump to begin with.
This year has drug on for alot of people with the mud and wet corn.
Yep
Gleaner Hugger uses a 550 chain.
Not the right length and I want endless chains with no master links.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy well that sucks.
We called them plough down tools.
That’s about right.
We farmed northeast Iowa Mississippi flood plane. Makes us look parched.
clipper fanning mill screens are still available new
If it’s a clipper.
@Oliver66FarmBoy I think they will make them any size
The tracks was $$ well spent with the wet year ypur dealing with.I had a small fuel tank with a hand crank which as you said was a pain sometimes, all I did was take crank off and used my cordless drill to pump the fuel.

I wonder if you can make some poly wheel wells to stop the track from covering the belts, cables, and pulleys with mud.
It doesn’t cover anything now. The hydro drive is the only thing close and it’s guarded to begin with.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy that whole side is covered in mud lol
The whole under side of the combine is covered in mud….
@@Oliver66FarmBoy right, from the tracks
Looking at the slack in the tracks. Is there an adjustment for that?
It's terrible to lose you favorite best pocket knife in he field
Done that.

Might pull it with the 4-150, 1955, 1950T, 1800, and 1600 all hooked together in line lol.
Kinda curious. I ain't no track expert or nothing but should them tracks have a wee bit more tension?
Not if you want the final drives to live.
The tracks seem a little loose?
Are you planning on using a bean head on the combine with the tracks on it next year?
I’m not planning on using tacks at all next year.
Is this the wettest harvest you have ever had Ethan? It looks awful wet. Safe harvest sir?
Yes
I guess the one thing good about this is were getting some needed moisture into the soil Farm Boy
It’s all just runoff at this point.

The Milwaukee Battery has a 5 year warranty.
I was gonna say. Any retailer would have warrantied that battery unless it failed from user error. Calling something shit because there is a failure in one battery out thousands produced daily is kinda dumb.
I still have my grandpa/ great grandpas old fanning mill that my dad took when we sold the old original farmstead
They are neat pieces.
@Oliver66FarmBoy yup. That piece my great grandpa's old horse drawn plow and disc r 3 things ill never get rid of when my place gets sold early next year😪
Do you think if you ripped those fields the water would percolate instead of sitting on top?
Would probably make it worse.
