- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มี.ค. 2023
- Leg Arm's was given the opportunity to be apart of the new BIG BUD tractor build. Putting his machining skills to the test, he built the three main pins that connect the front and rear halves together. We are thrilled to have had a small part of the legacy of the white beasts of Montana. Looking forward to seeing this tractor in the field! Thank you Rome Plow and Big Equipment!

What an honor for Welker Farms. Very well deserved. Helping the less fortunate by selling Big Bud filings in a jar is pure Welker. Love it.
A lot more than filings in a jar.
Its the real thing and there may be more Big Bud hardware to come.
Way to go guys especially to you leg arms and also to feed the hungry keep up the good work
Well that's "Whislin Diesels" thing😂 the parts of vehicles thing at least haha
Maybe they'll give you a discount on your next new Bud!
Isn"t it cool he asked. Sure it is. Thanks for letting us be part of it. Nice! Seeing that being build is history. Awesome!
My son is a red seal machinist, and he just finished at the end of February for his red seal millwright. I hope you sell all the shaving and raise lost of money for such a great organization.
That is so cool! I think the honor would be to have a 700 Big Bud with parts built by Leg Arms!
Yes, that is really cool to be able to be a part of the initial build of the new BIG BUD. Congratulations.
“The whole operation is a toy” no truer words have ever been spoken in regards to those big outfits like Welker’s, Mike Mitchell’s, Larson’s, and even Millennial Farmer. They are living in a real life Farming Simulator map.
Big Buds comeback can be directly tied to your channel!! It may not be the only reason, but it surely is one of the major reasons!!! Well done!
Yeah..sureeeeeee 🙄
Leg Arms turnin pins for the new Big Bud…stars align, and an American Craftsman is forever connected with history!
Only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys! Great video.
I can remember seeing the first 2 big bud's in Australia 🇦🇺 back in the 70s bigbud and big bud's bigger brother at ag quip now one of the biggest field days in Australia 🇦🇺
Happy Easter to all of the WelkerFarms families!
Nick, have you thought about putting those filing into empty clear Christmas Tree ornaments? Not only would they be preserved, but all of the Christmas tree lights would reflect off of the shavings nicely. There's my one good idea for 2023, and it's yours.
Leg arms is back! awesome guys.
What an honor for Welker Farms
I drove a bud in 1978 at Keller's
Supply in Morenci Michigan.
They were a John Deere Dealer in
southern Michigan. Glencoe made
a special Soil Saver to run behind
the Bud. Hard to keep it together
it walked too much. Kept breaking
And kept welding and putting gussets to help. I was 17 years old.
What a thrill it was. My boss bled
green and did all his business there.
Laser Farms of Waldron Michigan.
Quite the time to be around farming.
How cool would it be to see a tractor working the field and be able to say that you had a hand in designing it? So cool. Safe to say that leg arms is living the dream
good way to show that the new Big Buds can be fixed by farmers themself 👍
Im a farmer but i could never do this myself 🤣
This shows the new Big Bud truly will be something you can replicate parts for in a farm shop.
One way to get Leg Arms out of the house!!😂😂 Thanks Welkers for all you do and good Luck on the fun raiser.
That's awesome yall are part of the new big bud!!
It’s absolutely awesome that the makers of the new Big Bud tractors reached out to you guys !!!
Love them even more now !!!
Bad Boys Bad Boys, whatcha gonna say, Bad Boy Bad Boy is the phrase of the day...
Glad they included you guys in making the first new big bug in a long time.
It was cool to see the new Big Bud at the ConExpo
Hello! Awesome news! The return of the real beast tractor...
Young Man, as a machinist you are a PERFECTIONIST!!! HAVE TOO! Never apologize for your gifts 😊😊
Too cool guys. Big buds are the peoples tractor for sure
That is awesome that Welker Farms has a part in the manufacturing the new tractor. 👍👍
You are a blessing Welkers!
Thank you guys for giving back to the world
It's pretty sweet that y'all Welkers are helping to resurrect the Big Bud(s)🤠🤠
welcome back Scoot you have been missed
yes you look good with those glasses
Good for Welker farms for the opportunity to share in Big Bud Legacy 👍👍👍
Almost for certain the Big Bud toy tractor was made by Don Cambell. Pretty neat they let you in on the new Big Bud build.
Pretty Cool that you guys are a part of it! I'll get a jar when they are ready
Scott belongs in a professional machine shop!! Is there anything he can’t do?? Amazing!!
Thank you for the tour of building big toys for big boys, especially the shop that is redoing the tractor.
Welker farms . Yall have gone full circle. From owning big buds .Working them in the fields. An keeping them alive for generations. Blood sweat tears. An broken arm . To be apart of a new generation of big buds . Awesome and heart warming to see .
It's been quite the journey. Ron Harmon, Keith Richardson, Bud Nelson, Willie Hensler, and many more made legends in the tractor industry. We owe our experiences to them.
I can clearly see that Leg Arms is soooo passionate about his art ( ie welding, mechanical, and his machining) excellent all around bro
Hi Leg arm's
Your little problem with you ruffling your thread is 2 things
1. Your tool for the thread steel is very thin and has too much overhang, so put the tool back as far as possible in the tool holder.
2. lubricate well while cutting the thread and remember that every time you cut a thread use a sharp cutting tool. 😁😇
You do a super great job. 😎
Mickey from Denmark
What a great honor. You know your father has got to be so proud to be part of this and have his son doing the work. Many years of knowledge passed down. It's always nice to see you all work together.
Yes, it's a father's dream....your sons excelling you. What an adventure
@Robert Welker you are a great man Mr. Welker. I cannot wait to see Nick's and Scott's children work with you all!
I can't remember the last time I turn and threaded a Shaft but I do remember it very satisfying when the nut spins freely. Leg Arm should be considered a free agent for the Big Bud company
I would think they could have Leg Arms build the draw bar for them, he does have a lot of experience with that part of the tractor, You guys must be excited about the return of the Big Bud, it is sooo coooool to see them back in production again :)
😂 🤦♂️ 😁 👌
When I heard the first part of the video the smile on my face was so big I wish y’all could’ve seen it I am so glad y’all had a part in the new Bud
Now that was awesome to be a part of the New Big Bud
I enjoyed the energy in this video. Very much appreciate the entertainment y'all.
What a wonderful experience to be part of the history of Welker Farm and to make parts for the Big Buds. Great job Leg Arms.
Job well done. Been machining for 45 years. When it comes to metal removal, it all starts with rigidity. There is a great book called Machinery Handbook. Try and find older one. Maybe mid 80's edition. Have about 2500 pages. Lots of charts. Have all sorts of details like vee pulley angles, sprocket details, splines, gears, bushing fits, material selection, etc. I know reading isn't your strong point, but it will become your Bible.
You guy's are awesome!! Thank you so much! ✌Greetings from the Netherlands
Wow what an honor. Scott you are such a talent with that lathe and your hands. Pretty awesome thing your doing as a benefit. Thanks for the sneak peak of the New Big Bud. Welkers are a class act.
Thank you guys for doing what you doing for all of us
Great video LegArms and Nick
Curtis from Cutting Edge has some competition on this side of the Pacific. Nice job.
Can’t think of anyone more deserving to be part of the first new Big Bud.
Very cool. Ron Harmon has always been a hero of mine.
To Scott, there's a couple of machining and engineering TH-cam channels that I can recommend Cutting Edge Engineering, here in Queensland, Australia and Inheritance Machining.
Both may help with techniques and skills.
Scott is an absolute genius…
What an honor for Welker Farms and Scott. Great idea with the filings to feed the less fortunate, you are the best guys.
Brian's farming videos showed us the big bud a true classic I just wish the cab was kind of old school
All I can say is WOW!!! The fact that you built the pins for the first Big Bud is amazing in itself. The fact that you will be taking delivery of the first Big Bud is equally amazing! Really happy for the Welker family. And then you’re going to raise money for those less fortunate is absolutely Welker!!❤️❤️
Thanks for bringing us along. No guy out there wouldn’t give a lot to be part of the new Big Bud manufacturing process.
That’s great to be a part of making the new Big Bud tractor. I’ve never seen one so to see all of the heavy steel and the axles and tires all coming together is great to see. The machining of those pins is intricate. Impressed by all what goes into building and designing automobiles and heavy equipment.
One of my best friends from childhood was also dyslexic. He does similar work, but focuses on engine crank shafts and the like. It's interesting to see the similarities. Great job, LA! Maybe Ron will award you guys the honor of the first Series 5 purchase! I mean, you have to be able to repair it and you are the only ones to prove it now. 🙂
I have 40 years experiance machining and saw a couple of things I have never seen before! But I would hire you. Thank you for posting this!! Sometimes it seems that its gotta get done and go for it
Congrats! What an honor to be a part of Big Bud 23-01!
Saw the new big bud at Con Expo in Vegas very cool to see them back
Thanks guys. Totally awesome that they are including you in the new Big Buds. Can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work and videos.
Wow! To have been afforded the honour of being part of the manufacturing of the new Series 5 Big Bud tractor (deservedly so!) and then to make use of the filings in such a positive way is brilliant! Moreover, it is a charity that is just as appealing to your international audience as it is to your domestic one. Whoever thought of that idea, deserves a big congratulatory pat on the back! Donating to something that makes this planet a better world, really emphasies the 'bud' in 'Big Bud' as 'friend' as in 'buddy', although in my ignorance, the actual meaning may be a 'bud' as in a plant budding. But I like to think of it as , 'Big Bud, Friend of the World'.
They had you turn the pins for the new Big Bud !!???!!! Holy Welkers!! That is so cool! Talk about being part of the Legacy!! Great video!!
They came to the right people for the Big Bud come back ;)
Scott you are so right about keeping people out of the workshop when screw cutting. I was taught to tell everyone to go away when I was screw cutting and that included the boss!
You could probably make an entire video just interviewing the guys behind the new Big Buds.
You guys are an inspiration to many people you will never meet! Thanks for sharing the making of the new Big Bud!
Very cool you guys are a part of history in the making.
Great episode.
Now that’s totally awesome what your goin to do. Thank you for sharing your farm and all the work it takes to keep it going. ROLL ON SPRING!!!!!.
That was the coolest video yet. Luv the big bud tractors
God Bless our Farmers, God Bless America, may the Lord Bless Welker Farms....
Let's Go Brandon.
Leg arm you did a nice job on the pins and glad you had safety glasses on
Now you need to build all the parts of the 2nd new Bud and keep it😉😉
Kessler makes some good looking axles
Welker family has hearts as big as those tractors ❤❤its amazing to see the big buds make a come back in a new form best of luck guys
Someone has to say it, Nick, clean the shop!!! Awesome that Leg Arms and Welker Farms is involved in the new Big Bud.
Well done Leg Arms on making the machine operate to make the pins, I've always wanted to learn to do turning. Thanks for showing the factory as well 👍👍
Can't wait to see it when it's done
Wow! Congratulations guys! This is quite the honor to be asked to take part of! Keep up the great work 👍
Brings back American Made
When do farmers get time to get the training your whole family has. I'm continually amazed at the skill sets you all have.
Farmers do on the job training
I love the smell of Tap Magic in the morning.
What an honor to be involved in the Big Bud project!
I'm a few days behind on videos. What a great thing to be doing. Teaching people to feed themselves is worth 10 times more than just a meal. Having lived in the carribbean for 11 years I have seen the difference in agriculture. And it's a big big deal on an island being able to eat local food. Count me in on a few jars. Now off to catch up on your 2 newest videos.
Great Video, Can't wait to see youe compl,eted home and the Series 5 Big Bud. I want a Jar of Big Bud pin Swath!
great to see "old school" shop equipment
Great people teaming with great people to make a great product. Congratulations on being part of the big bud project.
The machine shop I work at takes a 4000lb pallet of aluminum stock and when the pieces are done there is only 280lbs to be shipped out. Keep up the good work Welkers. One day I hope to make it out there and check out your operation.
How about putting the filings in a 2" square acrylic block, Like a key chain. Maybe a 1" square so that more can have a piece of the new Big Bud. Really enjoy the Welker Farm videos.
Great idea for the shaving, it's truly a
honorable cause. I have a suggestion for the container that you're placing them in. Sandblast a silhouette of the Big Bud and the year to make them a little more special. This still one of my favorite channels on TH-cam by far
👍
thats great idea for se them to to feed the hungry bob it was good to see u on the video god bless you guys
That's epic, to have a hand in history as momentous as the 2nd coming of big bud, what an honour
The new ones will be built in Georgia,I know Rome Construction has a good rep for quality equipment.Do you guys have plans to demo one?I live in Georgia,so I would like to see this venture be a success!
That’s so cool now anyone that ever works on those pins or talks about the bud 700 can say those first pins were made by a farmer on a farm in Montana
