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.
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
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.
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 🇦🇺
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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!!❤️❤️
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
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 👍👍
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.
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.
Fantastic video and the support toward the new BIG BUD and the idea of offering a sample of shavings from the lathe machining for feeding the hungry. Congrats to welker farm and helping toward BIG BUDS comeback.
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!
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'.
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 :)
Wow! I'm dyslexic and I would be so hesitant to undertake a project like that for fear I'd mess it up. Of course, this wasn't a project for a newbie so there is that. Such a great job and amazing talent Scott. Thanks for sharing the project and for taking us along to see the new BB. God bless all the Welkers!
Scott(Leg Arms) is dyslexic as well. The written word is your Achilles Heel, but dyslexic folk tend to be great artists and craftsmen. Your brains are different for the betterment of mankind.
@@jsh6952 thanks. I'm aware of Scott's dyslexia. God gifts each of us differently which is why the world is so amazing. I looked at those pins Scott made and truly they looked like a piece of art to me. Thanks again for your comment. God bless
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Congratulations to Welker Farms and Leg Arms for being part of the new Big Bud Tractor. My compliments to Bob and Nick and Scott for the great machine work you do. That is why Big Bud company chose you to machine the pins. Awesome that you folks are part of the new Big Bud tractor. Leg Arms you did a great job machining the pins. Great job!!!! Like the idea of putting the filings in a jar to purchase and then donating the money to help others learn to farm. Great idea Welkers. Proud of you folks. Thanks for the video. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
@@WelkerFarms does Legarms realise he has some greys sprouting on the sides and in his beard or we can always say it's just some primer paint from the house build 😂😂 love you guys and all you do from Australia
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. 🙂
Wow, what a brilliant project to be part of. So pleased that Welker Farms involvement with Big Bud continues into the new venture, and in such a tangible, real way.
Congratulations on this opportunity. I really enjoyed watching LegArms working away cutting those down. Also, I am REALLY impressed at how he picked that one up with one hand!!!! And how Nick was able to lift the 100lb one. You guys made them look so light. Can't wait to see the new Bud. Hugs Tina
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!
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!
Too cool guys. Big buds are the peoples tractor for sure
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!
Leg arms is back! awesome guys.
Yes, that is really cool to be able to be a part of the initial build of the new BIG BUD. Congratulations.
Only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys! Great video.
Scott belongs in a professional machine shop!! Is there anything he can’t do?? Amazing!!
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
Happy Easter to all of the WelkerFarms families!
That's awesome yall are part of the new big bud!!
You are a blessing Welkers!
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.

Hello! Awesome news! The return of the real beast tractor...
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 🇦🇺
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 🤣
Very cool. Ron Harmon has always been a hero of mine.
Glad they included you guys in making the first new big bug in a long time.
I enjoyed the energy in this video. Very much appreciate the entertainment y'all.
It’s absolutely awesome that the makers of the new Big Bud tractors reached out to you guys !!!
Love them even more now !!!
Pretty Cool that you guys are a part of it! I'll get a jar when they are ready
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.
Good for Welker farms for the opportunity to share in Big Bud Legacy 👍👍👍
Young Man, as a machinist you are a PERFECTIONIST!!! HAVE TOO! Never apologize for your gifts 😊😊
That is awesome that Welker Farms has a part in the manufacturing the new tractor. 👍👍
Thank you guys for doing what you doing for all of us
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.
Now that was awesome to be a part of the New Big Bud
It's pretty sweet that y'all Welkers are helping to resurrect the Big Bud(s)🤠🤠
Great episode.
I can clearly see that Leg Arms is soooo passionate about his art ( ie welding, mechanical, and his machining) excellent all around bro
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
It was cool to see the new Big Bud at the ConExpo
“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.
welcome back Scoot you have been missed
yes you look good with those glasses
One way to get Leg Arms out of the house!!😂😂 Thanks Welkers for all you do and good Luck on the fun raiser.
You guy's are awesome!! Thank you so much! ✌Greetings from the Netherlands
Bad Boys Bad Boys, whatcha gonna say, Bad Boy Bad Boy is the phrase of the day...
You guys are an inspiration to many people you will never meet! Thanks for sharing the making of the new Big Bud!
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.
Thank you very much
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.

Thanks for bringing us along. No guy out there wouldn’t give a lot to be part of the new Big Bud manufacturing process.
Can’t think of anyone more deserving to be part of the first new Big Bud.
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!!❤️❤️
What an honor for Welker Farms and Scott. Great idea with the filings to feed the less fortunate, you are the best guys.

Saw the new big bud at Con Expo in Vegas very cool to see them back
That was the coolest video yet. Luv the big bud tractors
You all are the best.
Brian's farming videos showed us the big bud a true classic I just wish the cab was kind of old school
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!!!!!.
Thank you guys for giving back to the world

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

@Robert Welker you are a great man Mr. Welker. I cannot wait to see Nick's and Scott's children work with you all!
Curtis from Cutting Edge has some competition on this side of the Pacific. Nice job.
Fantastic video and the support toward the new BIG BUD and the idea of offering a sample of shavings from the lathe machining for feeding the hungry. Congrats to welker farm and helping toward BIG BUDS comeback.
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!!
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!
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

What an honor to be involved in the Big Bud project!
Absolutely Awesome! Way too cool!
Some serious responsibility with the machining, it’s mesmerising to watch. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Someone has to say it, Nick, clean the shop!!! Awesome that Leg Arms and Welker Farms is involved in the new Big Bud.
Kessler makes some good looking axles
Thank you for the tour of building big toys for big boys, especially the shop that is redoing the tractor.
Good things in life do follow the Family that has a Good Name! Great opportunity Bob, Scott, and Nick! Congratulations! -Bob...
This video brings a tear to my eyes... just so many reasons. God Bless the Welkers & of course, the Big Equipment crews.

Wow! Congratulations guys! This is quite the honor to be asked to take part of! Keep up the great work 👍
Good show

Great people teaming with great people to make a great product. Congratulations on being part of the big bud project.
This shows the new Big Bud truly will be something you can replicate parts for in a farm shop.
Awesome job machining the pins LegArms

How Epic is that! Welker Farms, You guys Rock! BIG BUD ROCKS!
Always looking forward to your videos
Great video again, Scott and Nick. Your family is blessed to have two fine sons capable of doing just about anything.
Thats such a huge opportunity for you guys to help build the new bud. I would absolutely love to have a piece of the new bud on my shelf
Love bid bud tractors. The repairabllity is great
