Today on the farm: a dreaded but necessary job. I am very thankful to have been working with UMC for the past couple years, as they provide top of the line parts for all my irrigation repair needs. We had an old gearbox finally give out, causing a tire to dig itself into a deep hole. We replace it (in 108F temps) and fill in the hole. Its been a hot summer, stay cool out there folks!! I hope you enjoyed today's video and we'll see you in the next one.

Love watching you two work together for a common goal…always cheerful and kind to each other ❤ Blessings for a beautiful crop!
Thanks! So cool to see you using the magnetic pan I sent you on your pivot repair!
who sends them $ they have more then you old dude !
That’s for sure two rangers must not be hurting to bad
@@MB93WP They are TH-camrs that farm.

Laura, as an old guy who worked and played outside a lot in my younger years, I beg you to wear hats and sun-shield type long-sleeves and pants. If you do, your dermatologist will thank you in fifty years and you will thank me (even though I'll be long gone). Also, if I thought you'd wear them, I'd send you a bundle of work gloves (the thin ones, not the awkward heavy leather ones). I want you to stay healthy and cheerful for your kids and grandkids.
This is the best advice ever, melanoma is no joke. Ask me how I know.
@@corneliusconijn881I'm in the same boat. I go again this month to have more removed. Dick's Sport's store carries UV shirt for women and men. Very light. Any breeze with blow right through them. All the lawn cutters wear them down here in Florida.
@@goodole1usa The sun is good. Fuck that. 66 yeaRS OLD BUT DONTGIV4 A fUCK.
It's true Laura... That sun is vicious over time. We love to look at you a beautiful young Taurus. But if you become leather even your husband will be sad. We love you Laura. But if you know how to beat the sun, more power to you. ❤😊
Agree 100%. I spent my youth in the OK Panhandle on tractors and combines, and I now see the dermatologist at least once a year, and sometimes two or three. I now wear the sunblock long sleeves shirts when I go outside. Since I have lost my hair I always wear a cap and sunglasses. Even as a kid I wore a cap.
Why I admire farmers. Fueled by willpower. If it breaks, you fix it. Believe me, there's always something. And the blisters too.
Grant should make a video about his Jeep project.
definitely. Laura promised us all kinds of mechanic shop shenanigans this winter, but she just fixed up a mower
Love to watch you and your husband farming . I am 83 years old. And grew up on a farm.
I love it when a pivot plan comes together.
Pro tip, when the rim is stuck leave two or three lug bolts or nut on when you kick it. That way if the jack falls the pivot doesn't hit the ground.
I love watching you work together and that you both accomplish tasks without the other needing to 'take over' or 'be in charge' it is an equal partnership.
I believe Grant must be the most patient man ever! I can't even imagine how much extra time it takes turning these tasks into videos!
Totally agree, but I hope he also understands that 500,000 of us truly appreciate it.
It’s brilliant watching y’all solving problems on the fly like this not to mention you look fabulous whilst doing it! Grant is a lucky boy!
Laura, you are a hardworking lady, a real example for the young ladies of this next generation.
Hi Laura & Grant!
Your next shop job is to make a metal sawhorse that will support the weight of the pivot while you change a tire &/or gearbox. Those jack-alls are great but NOT a stable support for working around!
Safety 1st!
Or you can buy them as jack stands.
Is it just me, or has Laura gotten stronger? From the first time I watched her lift and carry a gear box like 4 years ago till now were she just lifted that gear box with much more ease!
When she was rolling it around on the ground I thought hubby was going to pick it up because Laura never could. Those suckers are heavy. Whoa! She picked it up. I'll have to eat crow now but with gravy thank you.
Just a tip for installing that gear box. Grab a couple bolts of same diameter as ones used to mount the drive but 2 or 3 inches longer. Cut the heads off the bolts, use a zip disc and make a slot across diameter of the end you just cut that will fit a flat screwdriver. You just made pilot studs. When installing a new drive, thread the studs into it and they will help guide and support the drive as you get it mounted. Once a few other bolts are in you just remove the studs. That’s why I slot the end of stud, just in case it’s a bit stubborn coming out and can’t do by hand. A trick I’ve used a thousand times in my 35 yrs as a heavy equipment mechanic.
Great tip!
@@n6st as a field service mechanic working alone constantly, you have to think outside the box all the time and find ways to help or be that third hand you need. Where there’s a will there’s a way. :)
i was just thinking this. each gearbox should come with at least two studs so it can be a one person job.
Outstanding idea💡
As a retired electric motor technician, I had every size pilot bolts in my toolbox.
I’m glad your high lift jack work the same as ours!! Should have had some blocking underneath that thing !!!
Sevgili Lora, çok çalışkan ve gayretli bir çiftsiniz.Teknoloji ne kadar ileri de olsa insan çabasına gereksinim duyulmaktadır.Sizleri taktir edeyorum ve çok seviyorum.Ürünunüz bereketli olsun.Türkiye'den sevgiler ve selamlar.
So to get rid of Hiccups and this has never failed me. Take a glass of water bend over forward like to touch your toes and drink from the opposite side of the glass that you would normally drink from, so the backside of the glass as you are bent forward drink a few times. stand up done. My old neighbor told me this. I was skeptical too but has worked every time. Love your channel, great job Laura and Grant.
The lack of anti-seize on all those pivot fasteners is still KILLING ME!!!!!! :)
Me too. And struggling to install the gearbox when a couple of bolts with the heads cut off to use as guide pins would make it much easier.
@@tsmartin I would keeps sticks of all thread on the farm (like most farms). Cut off studs for every hole and install them on the pivot with lock washers and nuts.
Makes it easy to install. Then, when you go to remove them 10 years from now, you have two breakaway points where they can unthread without opening a can or worms.
@@earlbrown they're still young yet and will continue to learn especially with all the comments if they get to read them.
Sounds like there's a loose nut behind the wheel😅
Just so dang messy.
Pivots, are a god-sent for your crop yield, but they need a lot of maintenance, Laura, when you were filling in the hole dug, I thought Grant would start the Pivot spraying you with water to cool you down.
Safe farming to you all, love from Mike. ❤
I've heard that plants love electrolytes - they should put some in the water!
you and i wish ?
I love the education, the experience you guys share with us... Thank you
To make installing your gear boxes easier get two bolts that are longer and cut the heads off, cut a grove in the end to be able to unscrew it with a screwdriver and grind a tapper on the end so the slide into the holes easy. That will center and align the gear box quick and easy. I make them (starter bolts) for anything and everything. Love watching you two work and farm together.
I could never work with Laura as she would be too much of a distraction and that is a sincere compliment. :-)
This channel is fascinating. Learning about how much work goes into farming makes me appreciate my meals that much more. Thanks for the education.
Now I know why I watch your channel. Both of you are hard working husband and wife.
Thumbs Up, @Laura Farms, thanks for what you and all the hard workers at this farm do to help feed us! Love & Respect
I think she’s just trying to show her viewers that she’s a strong woman and capable of doing hard work. Keep up the good work young lady. You’re doing great.
Laura always works like this...... This is no show, she is not trying to impress anyone, this is everyday work for her and Grant.
Her lifting technique needs an upgrade. She needs to keep her back straight when lifting heavy objects.
She's showing, the title of the channel is "LAURA FARMS", not "WILSON FARMS"! She shows that she's a tough "HOMBRE"! She and Grant. and Gage work well together!! Really appreciate you guys sharing your life with us, THANK YOU !!
You missed the video where she, who weighs 120 lbs, lifted and carried an 80 lb pivot motor.
Laura, DON'T lift with your back, keep your back straight & use your legs!!! 13:07
Thanks for the lesson, quite interesting, looked like a beautiful day out there minus the heat. Stay the course!
That twisted shaft need a place on the shop wall. What a trophy
I am a huge fan of the two of you, So very proud of you Grant, good job in every thing your doing ! and Laura none of it would be, if not for YOU!!! THANK YOU...
Way to go. Hope the season brings good results for All of you.
Wow…some amazing camera angles in this video. Hatchie Matchie!!!
Just a comment. When lifting heavy things like that, 1) Squat down 2) take ahold of the object 3) lift up using your legs only, not your back. We use this a lot while lifting objects and people in the fire service. You are too nice of a farmer and young lady to have a back injury. Just a friendly FYI. I love your kids and have learned a lot about farming. I find it fascinating and informative. I finally found out how a pivot works. Never could quite understand it until you explained it. Keep up the good work!
One thing that has always helped me remember to lift with my legs is to look up to the ceiling, which will cause you to use your legs.
Wow 👋🏽👋🏽 - such an important comment about safety you're making regarding picking up heavy stuff. Can't stress it more as what you already said. Squat down and lift heavy stuff with knees and not bending your back. NOSA 👋🏽👋🏽
I was also trying to comment on that but in a nice way cuz I don't want her to think I'm just being another internet troll lol. She's too sweet and wholesome
My back hurts because I'm carrying everybody else LOL
Do they have children? When was she made pregnant? I mean I've followed this channel on and off and I've never seen her pregnant. That said, yeah, great advice on how to properly lift heavy objects. Use legs only never your back.
OMG! I can't believe how big that hole was that the tire was sitting in. You guys are more than farmers, you're problem solvers. Even after the fix and you digging it out, I thought that tire was still gong to be stubborn and stay in that hole. Fun to watch. Great job! PS...I would Leo to know about that Jeep. It's a boy thing!😀
Never-Seez? Thumbs Up on the Jeep project.
Laura, I just chanced upon your channel. I'm enjoying your channel very much. It's been a long time since I did any farming. It's interesting to learn how things have changed. As a teen I spent a few weeks each summer cross pollenating soybeans by hand. All these years later I don't recognize the beans with the long leaves that were sitting right under you gearbox. Let me know what variety that is. 😉 Best of luck to you and your crew.
I would seriously look into a different kind of Jack arrangement. Someday that one legged beanpole is going to fail and someone is going to get hurt. Otherwise, job well done!
I wouldn't trust that jack for jack shit as far as being in a position that if it fails you get hurt. Just thinking out loud.
The pivot can't move in one direction because of the connection with the rest of the pivot and in the other direction the wheel is in a deep hole. I've seen them do questionable things with a farm jack, but this one wasn't one of them.
@sgartner when you jack something UP and a jack fails it can sure a hell come DOWN. You don't want to be under it or beside it if slides sideways.
Those jacks are widow or widower makers.
I know how you feel with the heat. It was 111 with 48% humidity here in Phoenix yesterday. This morning it was 98 at 5 am. What HVAC techs here do is bring along a portable, folding umbrella, like something for a small patio table, and they clamp it to something or zip tie it to something to provide a little shade to work under.
You kids work great together but I would invest in some longer bolts without bolt heads to use as guide pins when dealing with heavy objects. A lot of times in my mechanic days, I worked by myself, screw the bolts in on the top, Grant can slide the long bolts in and the bolts will support the weight till you get the bottom bolts in. Just a suggestion to make it a little easier next time and safer. Thanks for the great videos!
And use the socket with the extender bar instead of your finger tips to get the bolts started!
Great repair job in the 100 degrees plus heat. And were you aware that the high lift jack is manufactured totally in one factory in Bloomfield, Indiana. I grew up only a few miles away from the factory, and in the past, they made custom units for the local farmers up to 8 feet in lengths for farmers to lift equipment and stretch fence. Great job working as a team, Grant and Laura. You guys are amazing together. Have a great 4th of July.
1:11 I don't know, Grant.
From where I sit, the view is fine 😇
Heads-up, non seize is your best friend....will make all repairs and maintenance much easier....no rust
There really is nothing more frustrating than dumping 20 or so sockets in the dirt and then having to clean them and put them back in order. Grant ,you must be one heck of a man to keep that honey under control ,she is like lightning in a tiny bottle, she always reminds me of Tinkerbell ?
Thank you for the hard work both of you put into your farm and these videos.
HI Grant and Laura I can make observation tip if you make an alignment pin to go in the bottom thread could make holding the gear box easier to hold
Safety first..block up the project..especially when your replacing parts and putting pressure on the jack..
I was waiting for it to fall off the jack.
i was just thinking the same, as a mechanic I m scared to see when they worked on the pivit without blocking the whole stuf
but for 2 young people they did a great job 🙂 respect!!!
You rock Laura took that job on with a big smile and got it done with a little blister to remember it with.
Glad you were able to get the new parts in and the tire out! Would love to see a video on the Jeep! Thanks for another great video Laura and Grant!
Yall should have taken the jgl. With you and pick up everything would have made it better and easier I think but I could be wrong 😅
Thanks for sharing your life and your ideas and projects with us!! Like your channel!
Grant, YOU are the man!! You hold that camera and let Wonderwoman lift those gear boxes - makes her appreciate all the truly hard work that you do. I admire a woman who's not afraid to work alongside her man, dirt washes off ladies! Love watching your videos.
Pivot fixes make great videos!
Mouse jump scares are icing on the cake for the true Laura Farms experience!❤❤❤😅😅😅
that's the rule you flip the box of sockets you pick up the box sockets put them back n the box... put that NEW gear box straight to the test, nice repair stay safe in this hot ass weather where haven.
I'm from Brazil and I love watching you, I've never worked in agriculture but I really admire your work, I think it's fantastic, congratulations.
TEAM WORK making that DREAM WORK! Kudos for the two of you showing us how its done while being kind to one another... GOALS!!! Stay blessed. 🙏👍
Love American farmers
I live in Toronto, Canada, and I never knew how those wheels were powered, until now. At first, I thought it was by water pressure, since you're bringing pressured water to the field, but as the video went on and on , I understood the means. My father was a mechanic and I've learnt a lot from him and I understood everything you spoke about. I was picturing myself on your farm scanning and monitoring the drive train of each wheel drive system with the help of a small scooter for transit.
I am an electronic technologist by trade, as well as a clock technician , hence a technical person. I loved your video. Were are you folks located ?
Thanks.
When I first started watching I looked at y'all just as kids but now y'all are all grown up.
Nice karate kid pick up on that gear box Laura!
Excellent analysis how how it got stuck!
Hi Laura, glad to see you got yourself a magnetic dish to hold your lug nuts and parts. Good show.
I thought a Fiberglass handled tool would be great until I got blisters. I was taught as a young man to take a brand new hardwood handled farm/garden tool and using sandpaper, sand the varnish finish off the wood. Sand it smooth where your hand will be while using it. I just do the whole handle. Then apply an oil of your choice to that handle. The oils in our skin help but monthly maintenance helps even more. A rainy day job.
I also very rarely use a shovel without gloves on a hot day. I also don't do a hot metal job without leather gloves and rags, If I was Lara I would have used Grants shirt for a rag. I can't believe as much experience these 2 have that they don't use proper equipment when heading out into a field.
Looks like a preventative maintenance step might be to check all the pivot gearboxes for leals.
A wire brush and some anti-seize might help in the future. Love watching the mechanical fixes.
Props to you guys for trying and solve the problem calm and collected, if it's me I know I couldn't do this alone
Oh yeah, I am definitely curious about the Jeep project.
I also like the side eye Grant gets from Laura when he mentions it!
You should put a safety stand under that frame , with that tire off, and if that Jack slipped, somebody could get hurt
Love love love watching you and Grant farming together. Btw how is your sweet corn patch doing?
You work so well together. Can't wait for the next video. ❤
GLOVES !!!
You 2 are some workers right enough....Great job....Stay safe and see you on the next one
You can lubricate your high lift jack. Mine see a lot of water, I just spray them down with Ballistol. I also keep a repair kit around the only problem is finding it.
I had a Jeep just like that back when I was a younger man, enjoy your jeep
My dad used to make me keep a 1 lb tub of grease in the back of the truck with an old paintbrush to lube up those threads with. You can use it on the Hub also to help those Wheels pop off easier.
Little bit of oil on those moving components on the jack will make a world of difference. Nice work and stay cool in the heat. It was brutally hot here in Ky a few weeks back also.
I think it kind of funny, when there is something heavy to lift Laura gets to do the lifting, and the MAN gets to film it. You keep doing that and eventually you won't be able to anymore.
Jesus. Are you from the 70’s?
*Laura Farms* _since April 2020_ 👍😎✊
Sexist much?, women can lift things you know, it is 2024.
My back hurt just watching you lift that gear box. Can’t your little truck have a hoist (boat trailer winch) type. It’s a little more trouble but so is chiropractor visits
@@ColinsMarine Chiropractor?! Those quacks do more harm than good.
Anti seize is good for wheel mounting surfaces just like for bolt and stud threads.
them corn plants thankyou for fixing there water supply happy plants now that was some top notch repair in that heat good job you both i would of turn on the water and cooled down under it
There's a product called "Anti-Seize" that you can get at any auto parts store. It would really help if you coated those wheel lugs with it. It would make servicing the pivot wheels much easier. One downside is it does get all over you so definitely use gloves with it.
As a suggestion Laura. What I would do when working with those gearboxes and taking the tyre off with only a jack like that holding it. Is place the tyre and rim under the pivot main support arm. Lie it flat as safety measure
Great job Laura and Grant was turffic thank you
just a tip...when digging with a shovel use your lower pivot arm as a fulcrum. Don't attempt to lift with the fulcrum just keep your arm straight. Use it as a lever. Again lift with your legs...I think you'll look much more powerful too! Grant needs sorter shorts!
Little kitty following Laura around. lol. Good kitty. Good Job Laura. She ain't no wimpy woman gang.
Hey Kids...I live in Arizona today was 114 end of week 118....Love the desert
Nice teamwork! Always helps to have an alignment punch to hold the gearbox until you get a bolt started. Another trick lots of people use for transmissions is to get a long bolt that threads in, cut the head off and use it as a stud to hold in place.
Probably would be a great suggestion is to use a couple studs for the gear box mounting to align it easier!
Wow, forensics with Laura!! Precise, concise and such luck with the sponsor "UMC", they should deck the costs 🐈⬛😆
Nice job, especially in that heat!
While I know you guys are seasoned experts with pivots, a couple suggestions:
1) wear gloves - I know they can hot, but they save your hands,
2) use penetrating oil (or grease) to lubricate those fasteners and prevent rust - you may need to make repairs in the future and it sure makes things easier,
3) consider finding a jack stand or fabricate a custom jack that can be used on pivots to provide more rigidity. Would hate to see a pivot slip off the jack and cause injury and/or additional damage to the equipment,
4) consider mounting a vise to the tailgate of the Ranger to help hold things like the driveshaft if you need to hammer-off a coupler, etc.
5) as an option for those hot or rainy days, find a cheap pop-up tent to put over the work area. Might sound kinda corny (no pun intended), but anything to help make the repair efforts easier. Plus, Grant can use it to sell lemonade when you're not in the field..... 😁
Just my 2-cents.
Thanks again for the videos; and I'd like to learn more about Grant's truck on the hoist.
Love LMNT, their sparkling water is AWESOME!
Good to see you have trust in Gage operating tractor. Get a drift pin to help align holes. They make different sizes and get a couple sizes that would work for you (Iron Workers use them to help align holes when setting steel beams). Congrats on your repair. Gloves do come in handy. Thank you for thanking me.
I am surprised that you don't have a "Farm umbrella" that you can set up in the area you are working.
I've never seen this before. Very interesting to see and learn about.
Great video and an education on what makes the pivot operate. I wondered if you used any Anti-Seize compound on the lugs for the wheels and the other bolts you replaced on the gearbox. I would think under the hard conditions in the field it would be mandatory to use that. Simply curious, and maybe you did and didn't show that. Excellent job on such a terribly sweltering day. God Bless you all!
Lol Grant is planting sockets! Just FYI. They don't grow or reproduce. I had to chuckle on that because I've been there done that. Have a blessed harvest 😊
Laura, watching you and Grant working in the heat with this tire made me "tired" too!
Man, that pivot motor puts out a TON of torque!
Good work you two , thats hot. But hats a jack stand and anti seize on all your bolts will help you both in the future.
Good luck with this season.
Every time I watch one of your videos I always learn something new from you and the difference between farming in my area and in Nebraska. I for one greatly appreciate and enjoy your videos.
Laura eres muy valiente y trabajadora vales mucho ❤❤
I think you guys are awesome. Even your adverts are good and welcome. I'm looking up LMNT right now. Hello from Japan.
But...gloves?
