- In this episode we bring home a 2002 Cushman Truckster to add to our homestead vehicles. This Truckster will be a great for hauling things around our property and making it much easier to get around. First, we have to fix the brakes!
We get our seeds started for our summer vegetable garden. A Ginkgo tree is added to our land to accent our shed.
Sure you were drinking tea and coffee??? Nice.
I found a Ford/ Jacobsen LGT garden tractor that has a rototiller on a rear pto drive, these were made for a number of years and are very useful. If you can find one , that would free up your tractor and give you the ability to farm a decent size plot. These tractors also had lots of other 3 point tools
Great video
A golf course cart that got put out to pasture in the mountains of Virginia.
A friend gave me the boot warmer. Until I used it in the winter I never appreciated it. Tap root will be as long as the plant is tall.
Good job Meg, Everyone needs a Meg :) That Cushman will be hand on the property.
Oh Willie, you determined protector! You have work ahead of you! Hang on Meg! You will be safe....cry cry I would like to plant with the girls!!!
Meg, you are too adorable on your new ride! Love seeing the progress y'all have made over the past year.
at 12:10 it is a 6 point socket and a square drive breaker bar...turn the socket 90 degrees on the drive to get the correct handle angle.
Love it that thing has Harbor Freight welder writer all over it . Hope it becomes what you need it to be. Love your stuff keep it up .
I bought a cushman several months ago. Mine was used as a maintenance cart in the plant I work in, so it’s propane fueled for inside use. Mine is powered by an omc built twin cylinder engine otherwise it’s very similar to yours. They are very handy and useful for jobs around the homestead and are built very well. You will find lots of uses for them especially with the dump bed, I love using mine around my property and they are great for hauling firewood.
We use ours daily and it was a very good buy after replacing a few parts. My only gripe about it is the clearance. I've bottomed out quite a few times from rocks and I wish it was a few inches higher. I guess I can look into a lift kit or just maintain the trails better.
@@WalnutsandWineberries I know what you mean they do set pretty low. I've thought about a lift kit as well, I've had it bottom out several times. The rear would be easy to lift but the front has a very unique design to it that would be a little tougher.
So koool, I want one. Kohler Engine and standard transmission, you can't beat that. Really a nice find.
Haven't watched yet but OH! All that green grass!!!!!!
Southern Yankee Homestead is right about greasing all of the grease fittings every 10 hours or so. But I also noticed what looked like a lot of movement at the bottom hinge pin on the main beam. It could have just been an old man's imagination but worth looking at. You know that I love you guys channel and it's really great that you are teaching your girls how to grow their own food and fend for themselves. God bless you all. 😊👍👍
Your adventure continues. Great find with the Cushman Meg. It is so much more fun and exciting to resurrect and or repurpose equipment that still has value, kudos to you.
It is tremendous to watch you guys "working" together as a family. That time spent together is among the greatest investments that you will ever make, never forget the joy.
Bless you all, stay safe.

Your squeak in your backhoe is the pins rubbing on the bushings. Metal on metal. Grease it and it will go away. They should be greased every 10 or so hours of use. If in sand, mud or water grease more frequently.
Workhorse of almost every golf course I've played. Will e? Of course he will! 👍
That’s good, need to build a protection cage for the occupants 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That’s cool machine. Very useful tool !
Willie....it's a a Megomobile😁😁
Score on the Cushman. That thing is rad.
You guys are funny what a great new toy 😊
Great buy guys I’m glad for you and meg
Great job, Guys!!
If you haven't figured it out yet, the big hole in the dash is for the speedometer.
When you get new tires, try to get taller ones. This will give you more ground clearance.
For starting your plants, you need to build a green house. In the barn they won't get enough sun. The barn may stay too cold.
Nice boot warmer! Angel's favorite word too...hmm
That Cushman is a great idea for your homestead - especially at that price! Very little to them.
Nice . Should very helpful for you guys 👍🏻
I'm dating myself but I had a Cushman scooter late 60,s.
Way cool shirt Jon.
Got a name for your new Cushman. I like the name Chiko. Don’t know if I spelled it right. It might be co at the end. All the Chico truck needs now is a couple of cup holders and some cold beer. You really lucked out on the brakes. Good buy Mag. Your a good papa Jon. It was nice to see how patient you are and how much the girls like helping you out. They will both have green thumbs when the grow up because their papa took the time to teach them. How’s the road doing? Later
Nice truck, used some for years. Rear wheel are smal, so you get stuk in soft or wet soil. Engie wise top machine.
You should go to your local metal scrap yard and get some square tubing to build a structure on Willy so you can put a windshield and a roof on to protect yourself from rain and snow
Nice snag even with the Yabba Dabba Doo brakes. Looks like something from Mad Max....
Yeah, the brakes need attention - pronto! Master cylinder has a leak.
That will be great to hall the gravel
She needs to take that rig to the grocery store. Kid ejector, too. It's windy in Montana. Nice lookin kerrs. What's your altitude and latitude? I have a boot warmer for my moccasins. Looks like winter squashes will grow there. Garlic, too. from Filaree Farms. Poke holes in the cups.
Check with your state Agriculture office and they will probably be very helpful in advising where you can get soil testing for nominal fees. That will give you a head start on what, if any, soil supplements you might need to enhance your garden yield.
I'm back... big deal huh ? Yep, lookin' fer' some fun .
We just got our hands on a 2000 truckster. Love it, however it is currently inop. Troubleshooting the ignition.
We had quite a few issues and videos after this one. We finally have it running reliably. We did replace the starter recently. They are great to have when they work. Now we know it inside and out having taken it apart so many times. Good luck!
Tested starter and it’s fine. After many hours of testing things, Problem turned out to be a bad ground wire! All fixed for now!
No rocks. A small hole like the one you planted that tree in would have yielded enough rocks to pave a driveway here in WV.
Now with the trommel you can realy move all that shale for the road right
Might want to look at a back tire with a little more aggressive trend for Willie.
The fronts too. I've turned a few times on soft soil and it slips. Nubbies all around!
Cool rig save alotta time huh just don't overdo it that is just a yard size bed
When do you plan a starting the house? I just watched a TH-cam video where they had to wait 7 months to get windows! I hope you don't have that kind of problem.
At 5:36 in the video; are those bullet holes? So why was the owner selling?
Leave the tailgate as is. Original once..
Tailgate looks sweet as is. I agree.
Call me when you start to build
How much did it cost in diesel to plant your tree? Could you have done this with a spade instead of two machines?
those big rocks will make good foundation for ur perimeter Castle's Curtin Wall
Dont know what one is google it And no it is not the flimsy aluminum wall Im talking about

I will beginning to make these but with a little more weight b/c i will be moving t hem around with a tracker and never move them So have one at 100 lb or more will mean nothing It is just that the4" long looks about right but I will try them at 6'* 8' and 14" tall b/c I want them staked 2 high (28") so there is no bending for my poor old back
