This is what separates Welker Farms from other guys on TH-cam, they just go buy or lease whatever they need. You guys go find a piece of equipment that needs work and turn it into exactly what you want/need. The best part about this is, when it's done you know exactly what you have. I'm really looking forward to this project, can't wait to see how it turns out
Part of the problem is that, for a long time, those old timers didn’t want to share their knowledge out of fear for their jobs. So, the younger generations didn’t learn as much of the older stuff and just embraced the newer technology.
@@Pedro.Chapps thats just plain untrue - most of the younger generation hungers for knowledge, but when you hav a bunch of old farts gatekeeping that knowledge, theyll simply do something else as they have absolutely zero patience
From experience as a tradesman of 30+yrs there are some that are really keen to learn the trade then there are those that just want to learn the tricks of the trade.
You're Spot on Jon. Unlike other hitting up the finance company these men actually get in do the work them selves. Wheather moving 2nd hand grain silos or rebuilding ~50 year old tractors even a bent header front. Fantastic. DIY & cash flow + . Rebuilt, reuse, repurpose Environmentally freindly. I hope the season is good for them. They deserve a good break.
I am a retired mechanic and I would love to spend a day with the gentleman that is working on your transmission ! guys and gals like him keep the world turning every day .
This is the type of content that I first saw when I first found this channel. Very happy to see this tractor transform. Interesting to see modern upgrades get integrated into this old platform as well.
Every time I start to think you guys are running out of new original content you go and do something like this I love it! Thanks Scott and Nick you guys are truly impressive!
I love the old screaming jimmy hes got for a test stand. I was slightly confused at first why your Cummins engine sounded like a jimmy. I figured it out now hahaha, just something about those old Detroit's
This year's winter project is going to blow last year's projects away! Can't wait to watch the progress. With you guys' ingenuity, this tractor will be a beast! Murfreesboro, TN
This is the reason I subscribed to this very channel. No other farming channel I know comes close to the Welkers. The passion you guys have to build and be creative is unmatched. Can't wait to see the new bud come to life. Greetings from Kenya and God bless 🫡
absolutely incredible how you guys stayed true to ol fashion and fabricate, rewire, and repower your own equipment and in the long run save a ton of money by not purchasing brand new equipment that has nothing but problems with emissions, cheap sensors and Chinese made parts.
Your farther must be so proud of you two guys, nothing is to much for you to take on, guys your actually building a tractor from scratch. Best of luck with this project ❤❤❤
@@WelkerFarms where do you find these deals?! I've been looking for years for an affordable ktta or k19 and can't find anything. I not to far from you guys
“simple to work on “ is way understated and underappreciated these days. These Big Bud tractors will save your farm tens of thousands in service repair bills just because you can repair and maintain them yourself. I’m a huge fan of simple and doing my own mechanic work.
Funny you mentioned Bakersfield, Ca. I grew up there and my father’s friends were the guys who had the 747 built. I remember when it was basically new. Very cool!
I'm so so jealous, that Big Bud is going to be beautiful. I drove Articulated Lorries 44 ton gross vehicle weight in the UK for 30 years, hauling farm produce into London to feed people & always said if I ever won the Lottery I'd buy a lorry just so I could throw a brick at it every morning when I woke up!😂🤣😂
Big Buds is the reason I found you years back. Love the big old girls - a couple of them around here at one time. Great to hear you are going to be fixing this one up. Cannot wait to see her work your fields. Happy Thanksgiving to your crew / family and you. God Bless - Be safe.
What a memory trip. I knew Mrs Marshburn when i was in high school 1968; she was an fine Christian elderly lady who let us hunt rabbits in her orange tree orchards . they also had a big carrot processing plant in Norwalk,Ca next to where I worked on heavy trucks. The history on your newrig would be so interesting, but now it will be a Welker Big Bud and farm the wide prairies
Well, what does a person say. I will tell you; To do a project of this magnitude, there is only one place and one set of people that are capable: THAT IS THE WELKERS and BOB and NICK and SCOTT!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Is this going to be interesting and exciting project. This big bud building project videos will be the hit feature of the winter season!!!!!!’ Step by step the Welkers will make this happen!!!!!!’ What a huge engine and transmission. Glad you had the transmission checked out before installing it. Good move. Can’t wait for these videos on this build. What a fantastic project to take on. In the end it will be a monster of a work tractor!!!!!!! Wow. Thanks to the Welkers for taking us along on this journey. Will be an opportunity of a lifetime!!!!!!!! Let’s get started!!!!!’ Blessings to you all. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Sitting here watching this video at 5 in the morning smoking a turkey for thanks giving and all jacked up for this new build! You guys are sooooo inspiring people. God bless you guys and your family and happy thanksgiving giving!
For years l have watched you all in action. Your shop videos working on The Big Buds are the best time l have ever spent for enjoyment. I was in the trucking business for 50 yrs. What you do with your big iron is incredible. Thank you for allowing us to follow along. 😅 incredible incredible
My gosh guyz.. I’m just over the top excited and happy for the farm.. please get lots video of this build. That tractor deserves to live and farm again.
The Big Bud rebuilds are what got me onto this channel years ago. This will be the most exciting series in a long time! Will be an interesting cost comparison to a new unit of the same HP. All I ask if that you either make or modify a series 4 hood to go on there! Love that hood! Was never a big fan of the 3 eyed Series one hoods! Excited to follow along!
This is going to be the most exciting build ever on You Tube. You guys absolutely are building your tractor pretty much from the ground up. Excited to see the build start.
This is why I watch this channel I'm stoked any one can go buy a new tractor but only a few can put one together and u welkers are one of the very few.... absolutely awesome....
You were right last video! We are gonna love this! I enjoy watching you guys build this back into a modern use tractor, and fairly enough this seems a good option, as it will do everything you require in horsepower, and hydraulics. And its a lovely restoration/rebuild project!❤
It was the rebuild of the Big Bud that brought me to your channel in the first place and have watched every episode since, now this will make sure i wont miss one in the future. Also love those 6-71 Detroit humming in the background. Love those engines. Good luck and stay safe around that heavy machine.
Hi guys. The KTTA 19 was developed in the late eighties and was marketed to replace the aging and not the greatest VTA 1710 engine and compete with the 3412 and 3508 cat along with the 12V92 Detroit. The KTTA 19 had a maximum of 700hp. They are a great engine but on the limit somewhat particularly being a jacket water after cooled engine. Stretching a KTTA19 by increasing the fuel pressure to put out more than 700hp is asking for trouble. I have seen it a few times. You will know a KTTA 19 that is running hard as the top of the aftercooler will be discolored with a dark pinkish hue. So Nick no 800hp The BMEP was close to the design limit of the power cylinder and there were improvements to the K series leading up to the KTTA 19 release including STC injectors. On this if you ever change the cylinder head gaskets, make sure your protrusions are in spec and you use the construction style head gasket. The oil pan you have looks to be a 12.5 gallon cast aluminum piece. This is a good deal for the KTTA 19 @ 700HP as the shallow 10 gallon pan called for a large LF750A canister style bypass oil filter housing to increase the oil volume. Make sure you still run a LF777 remote bypass oil filter. They may of left this on the old machine The KTTA 19 that we still get new out of the Seymour engine plant has a CPL 1253 and a fuel pump code of E790. This has been the same since the late 90's early 2000's Here are some of the codes below. I have a feeling you may have the E240 being an Auto transmission if you have a 1253 CPL E 240 700hp @ 2100 15% torque rise Automotive governor E 783 520hp @1800 5% torque rise VS governor E 784 650hp @ 2100 15% torque rise VS governor E 785 700hp @ 2100 15% torque rise VS governor with out check valves E 790 700hp @ 2100 15% torque rise VS governor with check valves E 813 600hp @1800 15% torque rise VS governor Its great that these have been freshly rebuilt, however I would be cutting the oil filters open just to make sure there is no issues. I can not wait to see this tractor running.
One question, I've seen a few kta19 engines turned to 800. What would need to be done to handle that hp? We don't want to do that but I'm just curious what it takes.
Hi guys charge air cooling, larger gear pumps on the fuel pump, increase flow through the injectors and timing are all the things I have seen on juiced up kta 19 engines. You can get away with it in on highway trucks, however applications such as tractors that can spend quite a bit of time at full power will eat themselves up. The k19 is unique in that it's a square engine, bore and the stroke is the same, unlike the c18 cat which is stroked. The k19 is an industrial engine unlike the c18 which originated from the c15. Huge difference in engines with a lot more spinning mass on the cummins. This project is going to be awesome
You guys are something else! You're just like your younger selves on Christmas day ❤. It's in your eyes and excitement in your voices. We can't wait to watch this Big Bud become what it was meant to be!!😮❤
Ya'll are actually doing mods in real life that I put on my farm sim tractors!!! Love it.... Crazy amount of work for some big tires!!!! Good luck cant wait to see the finished result
You could use extra frame length, so maybe splitting the frame through the center line of the fenders and lengthen it 8” plus raising it 4”. We wanted another 4x4 so we did the same thing on a smaller scale. Repowered a Versatile 900 with a aftercooled 855 and sent it to the field for $4500. You are making great content with this build.
Very cool tractor. Nice to see these being restored. Please keep the green and yellow stripes when restored. Same colours as my County. County Donegal, Ireland
By the grace of God I have a big smile after watching this. Oh boy, winter is going to be interesting and fun for us too. I am sure there are challenges ahead but you guys have made a great start on an awesome machine. Simple is best. Hope you get reasonable rain next year to to help defray the costs but what the heck it is a great idea. The question is will it be ready to run at Indy in May? Thank you, take care and God bless.
Welker Farms can do it. This will be an impressive power train for the Big Buds Tractor. You know how to deal and you know what components work. You have the experience to prove it. We wish you the best.
I’m excited to spend winter building this Bud. Just a thought , those combine tires may have some wear. I’d call and get specs on new one!!! Enjoyed watching.
Allison transmissions are pretty bullet proof. I've got a much smaller 3000 World Series in my RV, and the safety interlocks to prevent it from shifting have bailed me out more than once on grades with my RV. I think once you get it all connected you are going to love how it operates.
This is going to be a fantastic journey watching this big new big bud being built cant wait to see all the work get started to all the welkers and your families have a happy thanks giving and god bless
Already 850 comments. Are we exicted?? Yes we are! The Big Buds were the reason i found you many years ago. Getting the 4-th and almost rebuild m will be even more exciting to watch. I"m sure you"re gonna make it something special. How does your kids look at it? Are they as excited as you are? I guess yah. See you smile tells me you 2 love to do it. Boys and their toys. You made me smile to again. I dont have to ask if dad love it. Think he"s the biggest Bud fan. See you with pleasure.
Found a vintage label online ( unfortunately sold) similar as on your tractor but indicating Marshburn was a carrot growing operation at least in part . Further searching revealed that they were farming 12,000 acres of vegetables in the early 70s employing 900 people. In 1976 the vegetable farming operation was sold and 2 family members continued in the business of seed production for commercial vegetable growers.(Champion Seed Co.)
Big Bud's are a better choice than John Deere tractors. You can work on these without the problem of JD's "No User Serviceable Parts". Just bring it to us, and we will get at it in 6 months! Good luck building the new Bud.
One more idiot spewing anti John Deere rhetoric. The only parts on a John Deere that requires a factory authorized mechanic and computer is the diesel exhaust emissions control system. All of the manufacturers use Bosch supplied parts with each engine manufacturers Cambus. All of those systems are mandated to be only serviced by factory certified technicians.
@@hokie9910 there isn't a worse offender. It's just that John Deere is living rent free in your head. I had a Case loader down for 8 weeks waiting for Case to get a mechanic out to fix the DEF system. They won't let an independent mechanic get the software to flash the computer.
This is going to be amazingly epic I cannot wait to watch this!!!!! So ready to start watching this project from beginning to end! I hope your guys is entire family has a blessed Thanksgiving!
Neat project .... but why change the group number on the tires? Plus with a single, goes flat your done, they make a lot of options for replacements for the 30.5x32 (group 47), personally I'd stay duals and keep the diameter normal, plus that keeps the drawbar heights the same as fhe other tractors so you don't have to change hitches, etc. Just my 2 cents ... best of luck on the project
What got my attention to your videos was the time lapse of your first rebuild and now an exciting opportunity to see another.(for me anyway)😊😊😊love it!!!
I think a lot of us will learn new things with this project. Yes, excited to see the project as it unfolds, and to see the end product at work in the field.
Man, it would be cool to see motec or haltech for data logging and instrumentation. PDU's running the accessories with all virtual fuses like a modern air liner.
Thats going to be a sweet machine when you are done!, separate pumps for drill fans, implement lift and steering will be nice. Keep the seed runs from plugging when lifting and turning. Put hydraulic drive reversing fans on the list! 710 hp on wheels instead of tracks will be nice for your dryer conditions. If you need help with axle ratio change on those Clark rear ends let me know. I run a shop very similar to your transmission guy specializing in differentials and fuller transmissions.
So now you can also have one (or two :) Big Bud 700's, just as the scraper ones Robert and Scott looked at in California when doing a trip to a show in a rented car some years ago. Nick had to go by air so he missed it. 😢 [See: Second largest Big Bud tractor ever built. 2020 22nd Feb] But probably you can have them two for some change also in your fleet! 😂 So the New Generation Farmers can have something to 'play' with. Good luck guys! ❤
Awesome the new winter project beginning of another era for another big bud. Good luck on your adventure and I’m sure you’ll get those little tiny tires to fit under those big fenders. Joe
Most exciting project on TH-cam!! 700Hp- Allison and LSWs!!!! What is so cool is that all three of you get stoked building incredible machines that match the capabilities of the million dollar monsters from dealerships.
is the tire situation similar to cars in the sense that when upgrading to the larger rims, and thus leaving space for less sidewall - would that not take away any sense of bump-dampening?
Wow that was a great deal on the engines and transmissions.. This is going to be an awesome series to watch. Could you add in suspension for the front and rear axles. That alone would then drop the axle position. So cannot wait as I know your all going to make an awesome and beautiful job of this. Keep safe and well everyone :).
Good thinking cking out that transmission you picked up a lot of good information and saw how it should work I’m going to enjoy seeing how this one comes together
Nick and Scott, I wish you could feel the pure glee and joy I felt when I saw another Big Bud. When you had the episode where you lost the planetary I was thinking the very same thought, "Thy don't have enough redundancy of critical path equipment." Well clearly you guy were thinking about that too. What a wonderful project. I wonder if Case IH or Big Equipment might want to sponsor into this project to show off features of their equipment going into your "resto-mod". Case electronics would be super cool to see. Even a seat would be nice. I can't wait to watch this develop.
Great project, please re-design the hood, start a competition on-line for the most beautiful 3D design, the cab looks okay. Maybe some slick graphic striping and decals, .... Big Bud WF 700 or WF 750 ( Welker Farms 😉 ). Greets from the netherlands.
This looks to be an exciting winter project that I'm going to be able to watch with all your videos in the warmth of my home and I will be cheering you all on, can't wait for you all to get started.
Are you guys as excited for this series as we are? This tractor is going to be ridiculously awesome.
Bring it Welkers... Lets see what you fellas make of her.
I’m definitely excited! 💯
Awesome! Absolutely excited to see what you guys do with it!
Im not one to comment much, but, i have to leave one when i see welkers pull in another big bud!
Start the Wagner
This is what separates Welker Farms from other guys on TH-cam, they just go buy or lease whatever they need.

Hi baby
Yes
Ww ran nice old equipment from deere.
Problem is sound guard, dust
Hey
That guy at the transmission shop looks like he has forgotten more stuff than most people know. We need more men like him.
We do, but unfortunately we have less every year.. Knowledge dies with them.
Part of the problem is that, for a long time, those old timers didn’t want to share their knowledge out of fear for their jobs. So, the younger generations didn’t learn as much of the older stuff and just embraced the newer technology.
young guys now days have no interest in learning a good trade, they just want to sit at a desk
@@Pedro.Chapps thats just plain untrue - most of the younger generation hungers for knowledge, but when you hav a bunch of old farts gatekeeping that knowledge, theyll simply do something else as they have absolutely zero patience

I like Big Buds and I can not lie!
I said that to my wife. I won’t repeat what she called me. 😂😂😂😂
Sir Nick's a lot.

Agreed, although its a job its also a passion, just like the steam engine men of yesteryear.
I bet if you wrote to him, he'd say yes too. Try it my old school friend.
This is the type of content that I first saw when I first found this channel. Very happy to see this tractor transform. Interesting to see modern upgrades get integrated into this old platform as well.

Looking at that big 19 liter, wow. That's a big ol' hoss of an engine.
It's a beauty isn't it?

You should try seeing about building a PTO system so you can finally have a grain cart tractor.
I’m excited to spend winter building this Bud. Just a thought , those combine tires may have some wear. I’d call and get specs on new one!!!
Enjoyed watching.
That was an amazing into to this video! I worked summer hire almost 50 years and never lost my love of everything farm.
Allison transmissions are pretty bullet proof. I've got a much smaller 3000 World Series in my RV, and the safety interlocks to prevent it from shifting have bailed me out more than once on grades with my RV. I think once you get it all connected you are going to love how it operates.
This is going to be a fantastic journey watching this big new big bud being built cant wait to see all the work get started to all the welkers and your families have a happy thanks giving and god bless
Already 850 comments. Are we exicted?? Yes we are! The Big Buds were the reason i found you many years ago. Getting the 4-th and almost rebuild m will be even more exciting to watch. I"m sure you"re gonna make it something special. How does your kids look at it? Are they as excited as you are? I guess yah. See you smile tells me you 2 love to do it. Boys and their toys. You made me smile to again. I dont have to ask if dad love it. Think he"s the biggest Bud fan. See you with pleasure.
I would have my doubts if i hadn't seen you do the semi tractor build. You will do this just as easily. 🎉🎉
This is what the USA is all about. This is awesome. 😎👍
You know, this is why I follow you guys. The farming vids are great but I'm in it for the builds.
We love a good build! 💪
Same here, awesome videos with old machines. Are you guys looking to put a PTO on it too?
Cool, A Big Bud glider kit!! This should be a fun build to watch.
Found a vintage label online ( unfortunately sold) similar as on your tractor but indicating Marshburn was a carrot growing operation at least in part . Further searching revealed that they were farming 12,000 acres of vegetables in the early 70s employing 900 people. In 1976 the vegetable farming operation was sold and 2 family members continued in the business of seed production for commercial vegetable growers.(Champion Seed Co.)
Happy Thanksgiving Welker families! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love watching you two do all this work on these awesome tractors , this will be a lot of watching . Thanks guys for all you do , heck to the yes.
Big Bud's are a better choice than John Deere tractors. You can work on these without the problem of JD's "No User Serviceable Parts". Just bring it to us, and we will get at it in 6 months! Good luck building the new Bud.
It's all the tractor manufacture not just one.
One more idiot spewing anti John Deere rhetoric. The only parts on a John Deere that requires a factory authorized mechanic and computer is the diesel exhaust emissions control system. All of the manufacturers use Bosch supplied parts with each engine manufacturers Cambus. All of those systems are mandated to be only serviced by factory certified technicians.
@@johnunsicker7440I think we all know who the worst offender is though…
Love that Welker's tell JD to buzz off.
@@hokie9910 there isn't a worse offender. It's just that John Deere is living rent free in your head. I had a Case loader down for 8 weeks waiting for Case to get a mechanic out to fix the DEF system. They won't let an independent mechanic get the software to flash the computer.
She's a beauty!!! Congratulations Welkers. Stay safe and healthy and do not let Scott work on it alone, we like you guys healthy.
This is going to be amazingly epic I cannot wait to watch this!!!!! So ready to start watching this project from beginning to end! I hope your guys is entire family has a blessed Thanksgiving!
This is so awesome brings back memories of being younger and “building” projects from various parts and pieces
Oh boy!! Can't wait to watch you boys get started, now don't leave nothing out, thank you Welkers
Neat project .... but why change the group number on the tires? Plus with a single, goes flat your done, they make a lot of options for replacements for the 30.5x32 (group 47), personally I'd stay duals and keep the diameter normal, plus that keeps the drawbar heights the same as fhe other tractors so you don't have to change hitches, etc. Just my 2 cents ... best of luck on the project
Made the mistake of watching this before bed, got me all charged up for this build. Making old tractors great again!
It is thanksgiving when I am watching this so happy thanksgiving to you and your families God bless you all
What got my attention to your videos was the time lapse of your first rebuild and now an exciting opportunity to see another.(for me anyway)😊😊😊love it!!!
This will be a fantastic series of videos to watch! It'll be great to see the end result. 👍
I think a lot of us will learn new things with this project. Yes, excited to see the project as it unfolds, and to see the end product at work in the field.
Excited to see the build and running.
I'm absolutely extremely excited. Can't wait to watch the build.
Man, it would be cool to see motec or haltech for data logging and instrumentation. PDU's running the accessories with all virtual fuses like a modern air liner.
Thats going to be a sweet machine when you are done!, separate pumps for drill fans, implement lift and steering will be nice. Keep the seed runs from plugging when lifting and turning.
Put hydraulic drive reversing fans on the list!
710 hp on wheels instead of tracks will be nice for your dryer conditions.
If you need help with axle ratio change on those Clark rear ends let me know. I run a shop very similar to your transmission guy specializing in differentials and fuller transmissions.
I can’t wait for this build. Great video. Tires are going to make it.
LegArms is like a kid in a candy store. I can’t wait to see it running!!!
Bought a smile to my face! Can't beat a big old diesel.
I would ask Ron Harmon if he had a extra NEW big bud cab laying around... But that's just me... Wink Wink
So now you can also have one (or two :) Big Bud 700's, just as the scraper ones Robert and Scott looked at in California when doing a trip to a show in a rented car some years ago. Nick had to go by air so he missed it. 😢 [See: Second largest Big Bud tractor ever built. 2020 22nd Feb]
But probably you can have them two for some change also in your fleet! 😂 So the New Generation Farmers can have something to 'play' with.
Good luck guys! ❤
Awesome the new winter project beginning of another era for another big bud.
Good luck on your adventure and I’m sure you’ll get those little tiny tires to fit under those big fenders.
Joe
Wow! I hope that you find the right parts and the time to make that monster work like a charm! ❤ 👍🇸🇪
Most exciting project on TH-cam!! 700Hp- Allison and LSWs!!!! What is so cool is that all three of you get stoked building incredible machines that match the capabilities of the million dollar monsters from dealerships.
With better serviceability
is the tire situation similar to cars in the sense that when upgrading to the larger rims, and thus leaving space for less sidewall - would that not take away any sense of bump-dampening?
Wow that was a great deal on the engines and transmissions.. This is going to be an awesome series to watch. Could you add in suspension for the front and rear axles. That alone would then drop the axle position. So cannot wait as I know your all going to make an awesome and beautiful job of this. Keep safe and well everyone :).
I am so excited to see every aspect of this tractor build. Don’t skip anything for content
This is such a cool project. I can't wait to see updates on this thing. Looking really forward to more videos!
Can’t wait to watch this build series…. Just like the first videos you guys made. Love it, love you guys and god bless you and your family!
Good thinking cking out that transmission you picked up a lot of good information and saw how it should work I’m going to enjoy seeing how this one comes together
Nick and Scott, I wish you could feel the pure glee and joy I felt when I saw another Big Bud. When you had the episode where you lost the planetary I was thinking the very same thought, "Thy don't have enough redundancy of critical path equipment." Well clearly you guy were thinking about that too. What a wonderful project. I wonder if Case IH or Big Equipment might want to sponsor into this project to show off features of their equipment going into your "resto-mod". Case electronics would be super cool to see. Even a seat would be nice.
I can't wait to watch this develop.
Great video guys can't wait to see you working on that sweet tractor 🚜. Happy Thanksgiving to the Welker family,God bless you
We are excited to get to work on it! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! 🦃
Wow what an awesome project, really looking forward to following this build.
This will be amazing! I kinda like the duals like on 525 though.
Guys, this looks like a monumental build. Watching from Western Mt!
This is going to be sooo cool to follow the progress this winter Looking like a lot of hard work and fun
Can’t wait to keep track of the progress.
This will be an epic build!
This is going to be so much fun to watch as you guys get her going.
You can never have too many buds!!!
Great project, please re-design the hood, start a competition on-line for the most beautiful 3D design, the cab looks okay.
Maybe some slick graphic striping and decals, .... Big Bud WF 700 or WF 750 ( Welker Farms 😉 ).
Greets from the netherlands.
This looks to be an exciting winter project that I'm going to be able to watch with all your videos in the warmth of my home and I will be cheering you all on, can't wait for you all to get started.
Watched you years ago when you started, you were looking to get one of these. Glad you have..
