Your children's knowledge of mechanical stuff, electrical, welding and all aspects of farming are unbelievable. It shows how important starting young and following mom, dad, uncle and cousins around pays off. Your girls know more in their early 20's than a lot of men twice their age. Impressive
Wow Another exciting episode of what mission impossible repair is Andy and Family taking on today ! Lots of maintenance and lots of good content as well from the northern Exposure side of the world !
Welcome to the stage Richard, great to see another family member join the FFF Hall of Fame. Hope to see you again soon. Reversing down that cow barn with that tractor takes some skill. The truck body looks good Andy. Well done and thank you all.
Oh wow, seeing your brother Rich on a TH-cam video would be great - hope he decides to “bite the bullet” and agree to be filmed! Thanks as always Andy - cheers
New York doesn't need to worry about how many gas stoves are in houses they need to worry about how often Andy fires up that Bertha torch! Wowza that's a real dragon!
Andy, If you weld a heavy flat washer onto the broken stud and then set the nut on the flat washer and weld around the nut they will usually come out pretty easy without any additional heat . That is what we do in our machine shop works pretty well especially if it is sticking a little above or broken flush. Also KOPR-KOTE anti-seize makes your next day a lot easier . Thanks for the video's.
looks like it is tractor version of a broken leg ! Not like you have not seen a wheel go south before ! The removal of bolts and rethread , I watched it done ...maybe two years back, this just sucks when you got so much underway and the season has not really kicked yet. Good that you are able to keep under control ! and in house. Good job.
Be nice to see more of the family in the videos, great video as always, cant believe the 72200R is only just big enough for the mixer wagon, biggest tractor when ran the family farm was 110HP and that was only 25 years ago, now its up to 150HP, we only have small roads so that restricts the size, we have a maximum width of 7’6” for road vehicle
Andy, could you do a drone overflight of your home farm? It sounds massive. I'm just trying to get my head around your farm so I can get the relationships of one part to the other. Silage bunks to shop to manure pit to barns.
Hi Andy ! Hi Mr Richard nice to see you . it is a very big mixer to pull , but 8360 in the barn it is a good one . manure pumping Thanks for that ! Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day bud!
Now it all became clear as how you got the rope through the culvert, you probably had it per-threaded with the other pipes you sent through! I did like your answer to my question on your 'short' video! I had visions of you being pissed at one of tour hands and made him crawl through with the rope! 😊
Nice to see your brother warming up to the camera, I remember when the girls would try to hide when the camera was out. Maybe someday you can get the wife to do a quick appearance but we wont hold our breath.
It's always something bud. Nice job getting all back together thanks for sharing it with us. I was wondering why we haven't seen Jared in a while. They run those hoses a long way. them boys know their stuff. How many gallons per minute do those big pumps pump manure To the fields.
Hey Andy....ive got a broken bolt 4U with my easy out snapped off in it.... yep in an aluminum engine cover. You're getting pretty good at doing "bolt extraction" ....I'm buying a new cover.
Thanks Andy. The Huge 3,000 + Head Dairy Farm like Yours. By me I think they have Enough "pumps & Hoses" to go out 5 Miles. "pumps & Hoses" Is a Newish Mod Designed for the Farm Sim Game ' Mike M.
If farming was easy we'd all be doing it .thankfully America can rely on andy and hes crew 👍. Brother warming up to us,he must be seeing them TH-cam checks andy 😅.
I could just see it now down the road, A day with brother Richard and the cows....lol! Glad things worked out on the hub, i know parts are not cheap! Keep up the video's Andy
Good work getting those bolts out Andy. I like to heat them red heat and walk away for a while. I usually come back with an air hammer and give them a good rattle with that and maybe a small sledge before I try to turn them out. Usually works well but there's always gotta be one that will fight to the end. My neighbor's tractor had the same problem as yours only his came completely off the axle. He pulls a lot of equipment with high tongue weight, so I presume that's the cause of these to break bolts. Seems to me Deere could have used a little larger bolts for the wedges.
Over many more years than I have to admit to, I have found that heat cycles, sometimes many of them, usually get's it done. Have even utilized a heat gun to see if there were target heat cycles that worked best. The results fell in favor of just heat cycles alone. You don't want to over heat and literally burn the metal. Hot, cold, hot, cold cycles most often appeared to be the key. Don't give up and eventually you should get those suckers out. Just for what it's worth and what I have found worked for me.

those hose reels are made by phils pumping in chilton wisconsin, they also make lagoon pumps, booster pumps, and other things for sale and thye do balser sales for manure tankers very good people to work with and nice place also that big stick pump was made in st. nazians in wisconsin and thats the same place u get those lagoon crawler transports, also make manure pumps there
People ask me all the time why I farm and ranch with all the constant repairs needed. This life gets in your blood and your wallet. Keep up the good work Hourigan Family.
Tks for sharing.. Tractor tires are way different than car or truck tires.. Huh. This is one of your brothers? Richard. Hi Richard.. Miss Alex and Miss Sarah are really coming along with the lights.. Good Deal. Please tell them great job girls...
I watched an old machinist removing 50 year old exhaust bolts, he backed it out a hair and then tightened it a hair, and repeated until the bolt came loose. He got all of them without breaking one.
hi Andy always a little thing to spice up the day, do you put copper grease on your screws? me by experience I put some for all the screws which remain a long time without being disassembled it prevents them from seizing and it's easier when you want to remove them continue these excellent video of the work on the farm have a nice day
Those kind of repairs are always a pain to do. Makes it a lot easier when you have something to handle a whole tire and wheel with. Careful with that rosebud. You can do through a lot of gas quick.
Welcome to the camera Richard !!! Always great to see the two girls working n having fun !! Where the other daughter the little spit fire ??? Haven’t seen her in awhile
is that a new twelve letter crop getter?? haha that new box is looking good, you should probably build and sell those things.. with all the spare time you have of course haha
That your uncles truck at the end? I talked to him the other day. He said something along the lines of the truck is already there or he’s waiting for it to get there. Maybe you can show my cousins Steve and Jon about drag lining. Your not too far from there… Great video.
You mentioned the 7200 needed a bit more power. Have you considered an ECM tune up that we see on other channels? They seem to offer about 10% increase in horsepower. That may be enough to make the difference.
Andy; Where did you learn all the fabrication and welding skill's? My dads two younger brothers were both Navy Sea Bee's during the sixties (Vietnam). They were both life long journeymen fabricators, welders and master pipe fitters. The older brother even used some GI bill to attend MIT for metallurgy. Your skill set reminded me of my late Uncles.
When I get a bad one to start to move I'll squirt a little oil on it then run it back in. After doing that a few times there is some oil pretty well in there, so that it has way less resistance.
Richard,, that was a pleasure. Can never see enough hard working shit kicking farmers! Great video!! I wonder if a can of freeze would have helped on the backside of those bolts. Great video! Ladies, you are building a better box than the factories, hold your heads high!!
Try a large washer that you concave with your ball pean and then weld the bottom part of the washer to the bolt. then heat the casting around the bolt let it cool than using a pipe wrench try turning the washer.
Andy... Ain't funny no matter how many tractors you have something breaks you're always one short ranging anywhere from a 1941 to a 2017 and everything you can think of in between and still once in a while we have a shortfall on tractors😢
You literally drive them till the wheels fall off😂😂
Your children's knowledge of mechanical stuff, electrical, welding and all aspects of farming are unbelievable. It shows how important starting young and following mom, dad, uncle and cousins around pays off. Your girls know more in their early 20's than a lot of men twice their age. Impressive

Another very interesting video Thank you Andy
That's an impressive heifers barn, Andy. God bless
I really enjoy your videos, your candor, and am amazed at how you strive to get your family involved, which will bode well for them.
You are all lucky to be able to work with Family May God Bless and keep you all safe.

Welcome Richard and love the big ol flotation tires on the Freightshaker
The fun NEAVER ENDS went easyer than I thought it would thanks Andy
Andy great job on getting the broken bolts 👍🚜
Nice to see your brother warming up to the camera, I remember when the girls would try to hide when the camera was out. Maybe someday you can get the wife to do a quick appearance but we wont hold our breath.
Enjoy your videos, and I hope you're enjoying this nice weather.
Another good video Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽 🐘 👍
Dammit man , always something , may God bless you and yours !!!
That was one heck of a fight- nice job guys!!
Good job on the wheel. the new Truck bed is really sharp looking.
Good seeing the set up for the manure moving. Looks like you're getting a couple "boats" ready for fishing season coming up. Good video Andy,
Afraid any fish caught in those ponds be a bit ripe.
you and larsons farms and the Welkers are world class youtube. just love ur videos!
Thank you for sharing this with us, it was really enjoyable.
Lucky no one was injured when that hub came apart.
It's always something bud. Nice job getting all back together thanks for sharing it with us. I was wondering why we haven't seen Jared in a while. They run those hoses a long way. them boys know their stuff. How many gallons per minute do those big pumps pump manure To the fields.
Few thousand
Interesting video Andy, thanks for sharing
My dad was the one in the camouflage raincoat
Welcome aboard Richard it was really nice seeing you in today's video!
Hey Andy....ive got a broken bolt 4U with my easy out snapped off in it.... yep in an aluminum engine cover. You're getting pretty good at doing "bolt extraction" ....I'm buying a new cover.
Never a dull moment, amazing how much work goes into milk. Makes are year-round grazing system in NZ look like a part time job.
Andy, you are getting really good at the tease at the end of the videos!!!
Success is more about stubbornness and experience more than anything, great work on the hub
Very interesting video, thanks 🙏, enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for sharing buddy hope this isn’t a sign of how your spring is going to go
Every time almost you get into a equipment it’s don’t a flat tire seems to have a bad luck day 😢😢😢 . Hope the rest of your day gets better .
Great video Andy
You got this Richard!

You must not have the TH-cam finger snap like others use to fix things😂😂😂
Very interesting Andy.
KROIL works.great on digging those.bolts out.
The parts and service departments must really like your 7200R and 7290R. 😂
I'm getting the idea that ALL 7R tractors are parts department dream, and service Tech's nightmare. Our local Tech doesn't like to see them.

Pleased to meet you Richard!!👍👏 lol👋

You never have a dull moment farming.
Just a simple fix that took most of the day. Field fixes are always a challenge.
Tks for sharing.. Tractor tires are way different than car or truck tires.. Huh. This is one of your brothers? Richard. Hi Richard.. Miss Alex and Miss Sarah are really coming along with the lights.. Good Deal. Please tell them great job girls...

Patience and gentle persuasion is the best way in my experience rocking them back and forth til they loosen
hi Andy always a little thing to spice up the day, do you put copper grease on your screws? me by experience I put some for all the screws which remain a long time without being disassembled it prevents them from seizing and it's easier when you want to remove them continue these excellent video of the work on the farm have a nice day
I can't get over that ur brother actually was in a video very awesome hope to see some more of him
FFandF is the number one on the youtube for every day farming
Andy, you can use Oxy-Acetylene to melt the bolts out of cast iron without damaging the threads on the cast.
How many cows u guys got? Man u got 1 hell of an operation! Where is the manure getting pumped to? Dont think ive ever seen a manure crawler before.
Really enjoyed

What a sucker for punishment Andy.😂😂😂
Great Job
Mike sharp would be proud driving the excavator right down the middle of the road.
You mentioned the 7200 needed a bit more power. Have you considered an ECM tune up that we see on other channels? They seem to offer about 10% increase in horsepower. That may be enough to make the difference.
Never a dull moment...
Could you use truck mounted mixers and if not could you explain why not. Great video, thanks Rich
Andy; Where did you learn all the fabrication and welding skill's? My dads two younger brothers were both Navy Sea Bee's during the sixties (Vietnam). They were both life long journeymen fabricators, welders and master pipe fitters. The older brother even used some GI bill to attend MIT for metallurgy. Your skill set reminded me of my late Uncles.
It's called growing up poor/ broke lol
What a start to your day ! Isn't the tractor you put on the mixer on loan ?
Andy could we ever see the milking Facility your videos are always great
My job was running the line all 5miles of hose and hose humping and checking all the clips and making sure we wont have any down time
I sometimes use a dissimilar arc welding rod for that job pain in the arse though.
Great job, and not one swear word!
Hi nice repair just wondered why did that happen. Seems to me 4 bolts are not enough. Enjoyed your video Andy have a good day.
It’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes
Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When I get a bad one to start to move I'll squirt a little oil on it then run it back in. After doing that a few times there is some oil pretty well in there, so that it has way less resistance.
Sarah and Alex are always the highlight of the video
They play off his Dad jokes so well lol
I keep thinking of that Darrell Waltrip song Don’t leave me now loose wheel
Richard,, that was a pleasure. Can never see enough hard working shit kicking farmers! Great video!! I wonder if a can of freeze would have helped on the backside of those bolts. Great video! Ladies, you are building a better box than the factories, hold your heads high!!
Great video, thanks. Those bolts put up a good fight. Is this the first time that your farm has used a drag line to apply manure?
2nd time
I can't believe there were no safety nazi comments about using a chrome socket on the impact.
Or heating of the Rim to Raise the Air pressure in the Tire LOL....
There's a couple haha scroll up
Andy what do you guys do to the Equipment to brake it? Lol just being smart!!
Andy I see that Ford is starting to grow on you.😂
Seeing that is another white truck could this be Charlotte ride ? Nice Video
Try a large washer that you concave with your ball pean and then weld the bottom part of the washer to the bolt. then heat the casting around the bolt let it cool than using a pipe wrench try turning the washer.
