And this is why I think the Welkers succeed where others fail. They don't care about the latest greatest, just useable stuff that can help the farm. I love their humble nature
Thanks for not accidentally killing Nick, because we love all you Welker's, and don't want anything to happen to any of you. Those CAT engine's from that time are still good long lasting engine's. I love that you find old gems like this. So much of this knew equipment is junk and over engineered with the def of death. G-d bless.
Love these projects! A Freightliner with a Cat engine and Allison transmission for $3,000? SOLD! The hoity toity people who live on the coasts don't understand the fun and profit these projects can bring! LEAD on Welker Farms! How long before some "greenie" tells you you can't run a great old truck like that?
Thanks for another great video Welkers. It was interesting and enjoyable. As always, wonderful work Welkers redoing this truck. Is a really nice truck yet, got lots of life yet. Good buy. You all did a great job of redesigning the truck bed for your water truck. You folks are amazing at building and redoing equipment. The truck bed turned out great. Nice work Welkers!!!!!!! Always did like those Freight Liners!!!!! Good old trucks to do the job. There you go Bob, nice new truck rebuilt for your water carrier. Thanks for everything Welkers. Enjoyed watching you redo this truck. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over you all. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍🙏🇺🇸
My experience with the 3126, you won't have to worry about to much power! I used to build grain trucks for farmers and I loved the FL freightliner. Plenty of room under the cab to run linkage for the dump valve instead of cable that seize up and need replaced every 2 years! Some guys will tell you that you can't make a 10 wheeler with a FL70, but we built several of them. Even put a air tag on one to make a trip axle. Just all around nice trucks!
I gotta hand it to you guys. You're dang handy. But with commodities being what they are, if the Women don't find you Handsome, they better find you Handy 😂 That's a line from the Red Greene show 😅 And Scott those jeans you are wearing, that you just burnt and wore holes in are now worth about 300 bucks in the stores where teenagers shop. So don't throw them out! Plus spray Rhino liner on the frame for rust protection, would be a good option too.
I love my FL70 that I deliver with. She's a monster. Oldest truck in the fleet and by far the most reliable. No DEF, dual tanks and wicked heat. Can run her on flat ground about 73. So awesome!! I will have to send a picture. 6 speed manual, and tons of power. Heaviest day I can remember was about 12k worth of beer.
That CAT engine should be a good one. You mentioned that it has an Allison transmission. It should be a good transmission as well. That is an impressive truck. It should get the job done on your farm. 👍🏻
It was a Nobel thing you did putting that stack back on the Freightliner you don't see much of it anymore not straight out the side. or straight back but in-between at a 45, she got lots of care in short order I'm sure even without the video...
Loved this video Fellows , Bob,Nick & Scott, it shows you what you can do if you have the know how, bought the Old Freightliner and made her into the 2000 Gallon Water Truck, Great Job Fellows,I liked the way Bob had taken off after Nick gave him his turn to try out,I bet Kobi was crying as he missed out for the try out with Bob, Fellows great Family Video, Cheers & Best Wishes to All the Welkers, Farm Boys are the Best, Glad Im a Country Boy, Yahoooo , Reards Trevor.W.Bacelli.

Safety Third 😊 now make a huge Burn Barrel. Or a Blast Mat for "removing" big boulders in a field with a rock drill and some ANFO. 7:51 (Make fresh gravel.
Good video. You know you could take that cage material and put it back together on the ground. Take a small shed and put inside it or at the end of it, get some chickens, give the kids a chore to do. You'll have eggs for the families on the farm. Just a suggestion.
Wow, what a great video. So much fun to watch. I was smiling the whole time. Amazing work by the team. Best part, Green button up, down, Excellent. The ending was so nice and my smile got even bigger when the kids were smiling and saying Hi! Thanks for sharing and including us and the Welker's.
Could you take the low profile tires off and put larger tires on those rims to give you more clearance.I'm sure you have extra tires around that might not be road worthy but would still be good enough for around the farm.What would determine that would be if there is enough clearance between the bed and the larger tires.
As an Ag Mechanics teacher, I love the about of fab and mechanical work you show on your channel. Especially compared to other farming channels, makes y'all one of my favorites to watch! Would love to see your whole setup.
My favourite truck when I was a teenager in the 80's was a "Freightshaker", the mighty Pork Chop Express from Big Trouble in Little China. What a truck that was...
I am 100% a city slicker. I'll drive through farm areas to get to different cities. I'm in Ontario, far far away from you fine gents, but, I do appreciate what you do. I continue to watch this channel not only for the iron work you do to your vehicles for maintaining, but also for the friendly jabbing you guys do at each other. I genuinely laughed at the annoying brother antics done. It was awesome. (I have two younger brothers, so yeah...) Keep it up gents! And good luck with the new homes!
Great buy, great job for bad weather and look at all the steel and mesh for other projects. Great truck for all the kid's to learn to drive and of course water 💧 all your lawns and vegetable garden 😀 👍 👌
What would be cool is set the chasis up so you can change out the box to flat bed or anything you need. Check out farming fixing and fabricating channel . He sets up the trucks builds the different boxes . Has so very in depth videos . Because then the truck can be used year round if needed not just 3-4 months. The setups he uses makes easy to change .
Using only 3" steel for bearers for the tray won't be enough to give you decent wheel clearance above your dual rear wheel Especially when you load it up with any heavy loads !!
the lining up of the exhaust for the so called air brake / reverse thruster was fricken hilarious !! you three made me have a good laugh , all the best to the Welkers & of course Kobe !!
Hey nick just to let you guys in on that cat engine you have in that freight shaker you got . The fuel system operates like a 6.0 powerstroke the injector fire with high oil pressure pump they have similar problems with sensors and pump. Other than that that is a cool truck.
wow you Welkers are a well oiled machine working together, it is a sight to behold , except when Nick is goofing around on top of the trailer while Legarms is TRYING TO WELD!! XD XD
I have had the opportunity over the years to drive a couple of freight freight. You get in that binder that Peterbilt you'll serve rocks at that frieghtliner
i dub thee the frankenliner lol i love the stuff you guys do on this channel, so creative with so many projects that youve done over the years, my only suggestion to you is to add red underglow to every piece of equipment on the farm lol but other than that you guys are absolutely amazing at what you do!
I had already thought about it when you said it, it would be good if you use it as fire truck (not a real fire truck of course) in case you have crop fires. Especially since your new houses are close to the crops.
Hey guys. Enjoy the footage. Our farm has always repurposed this stuff as well. For the cage off the trailer, I immediately thought a chicken coop pen. Just a thought
Well for the price you paid for that old freight Shaker y'all made her into a nice water truck for the farm.... Took a little modification but leg arms made short work of it ...
7:48 looking at cab and that looks familiar from european perspective..... ohhh well looks like mercedes LN or LK cab style. also interior.... btw ice cream truck horn 😂
Make sure to run good oil in the 3126. It's a heui like a power stroke. 3116/3126 doesn't get alot of love. Not a bad engine just has its quirks. At least it's got the Allison 😊
As strange as our weather was, lets get really strange and have tons of good crops so you can put some lipstick on the pig deal... yeah, sell those old trucks and get something worse because its the "Welker way". I always had a spot in my heart for old metal. Most old metal is kind of like myself, waiting for a heart attack/LOL
Sweet deal! Might call Larsons about their KW T800 bobtail with a grain box. Sounds like they don’t really use it. No truck stands up to KW. I’m biased, but the truly are the finest trucks built. They’ earned their name, “Worlds Best”. Your 9370 is a sweet one too. Glad to see you’re getting some moisture.
Hey Guys, You 3 make me chuckle! Groovy water truck by the way! You got a good deal on it! Thanks for another great video! Freight Shaker to the rescue with its Reverse Thruster! 😂 Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! 😊
she will be a good truck those 3126 are tuff little engines. i did notice she had a long crank before she started it has 2 cam sensors in the back of the front cover behind the air compressor when one goes bad it will cause a long extended crank at start up
Thanks for the heads up on the sensor. I can see about replacing that. It was pretty cold when it cranked then so a good test will be when it warms up.
Condenser actually, condenses the hot gas back into a liquid before going back to the pump. The evaporator is under the dash because it evaporates the high pressure liquid into a gas and absorbs heat making the cab cooler.
Thanks for watching, don't forget to like and sub!

Been watching you guys since I was in primary I’m now 18 !

Fifth wheel hitch too?
Need a Mack, Sterling, Aromax, and a scanna yet. Lol
For me there’s nothing more rewarding than pulling up a Welker farm video and watch them attack a project!
ALWAYS AMAZED
Stay safe guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Welker farm is so good at refurbishing things. More people should follow their lead. Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely brother. Too many people spending money they don’t have to get payments they don’t need. Buy used, pay cash, refurbish. Only way to go.
I love that these guys buy older stuff and keep it running. Real farmers. God bless you guys.

I love see all three of you working on projects together.

Love the winter Weldin & wrenchin. It’s a great addition to the farming field work.
Grilles are Replaceable. Tires and Rims are also replaceable. Bad Construction can be Fixed 😊 3:25

I got framed into it....😊

I was totally impressed that a new grill and headlight whatever they are called helped the looks of the truck...
This is right up your guys alley. Taking something old and make it work for your use. Always awsome and love seeing you all working together
I love my FL70 that I deliver with. She's a monster. Oldest truck in the fleet and by far the most reliable. No DEF, dual tanks and wicked heat. Can run her on flat ground about 73. So awesome!!

Good eye, could be 😎
Love the banter and playfulness among you guys in this video. Great teamwork - show us more!
You could expand the chicken pen with the side panels/roof off the bed.
Excellent idea
Bob's water service. H²0 to Go. Great job guys.
The Freight's inner beauty, her capabilities are what outshine anything horrendous about her. 🙂

I’m so glad that Safety Is #1 on your farm and fun is a close 2nd😂

One thing I do know for sure?
There is no such thing as a princess truck on a farm. Only that a princess may drive said truck.😊
Only if said princess knows how to drive stick shift, ha!
Could you take the low profile tires off and put larger tires on those rims to give you more clearance.I'm sure you have extra tires around that might not be road worthy but would still be good enough for around the farm.What would determine that would be if there is enough clearance between the bed and the larger tires.
When these wear out we might look into that. Would be nice to have a few more inches of clearance under it.

We have the same truck and love it. We use it like a pickup truck due to the size and the ability to haul equipment and pull trailers.
They handle like a car and turn sharp!

Happy to bring back some memories of the Big Sky for you!
Shut Down Override... Thousands of Magnum hours under my belt and never did push that button. The button pushing casual snacker lol. Springs coming.
Using only 3" steel for bearers for the tray won't be enough to give you decent wheel clearance above your dual rear wheel

It's the condenser, if you don't the difference you may to get someone that does it for a living. Thanks for the video.

When you go to get injectors for the 7140, I know a place to get some really good ones that make that tractor run.
add gussets to area around receiver for a "more harmonious " outcome.
Hey nick just to let you guys in on that cat engine you have in that freight shaker you got . The fuel system operates like a 6.0 powerstroke the injector fire with high oil pressure pump they have similar problems with sensors and pump. Other than that that is a cool truck.
I've never seen a trailer deck used as a bed before thats definitely a new one on me, but it sure did come out nice
wow you Welkers are a well oiled machine working together, it is a sight to behold , except when Nick is goofing around on top of the trailer while Legarms is TRYING TO WELD!! XD XD
Put on three receivers so you can also pick and pull off the corners. I also use my corner receivers to mount my cable cherry picker.
I have had the opportunity over the years to drive a couple of freight freight. You get in that binder that Peterbilt you'll serve rocks at that frieghtliner
Great job on the green button pushing! You got it right on the first try!
Nice work... and the chickens get a new home out of it as well! Neat job!
Good running trucks we have three with the same motors and we use them for trash trucks east to work on and reliable service through our local dealer
Right on!
Nice bonus of $500 worth of expanded metal plus a bit more tubing.
I'm sure we'll find great use in that"scrap".... expanding our horizons.... 👍

My father and I run a masonry construction company in Boyd Montana we have a 96 freight liner fl70 with a 5.9 Cummins best sounding truck we own

I don't think I've ever seen a freightliner from the Era without one part of the grill broke.
I think the broken grill was a factory option
Yup, and the broken headlight bezels to lol.
I thought they would have fabricated a new one from the expanded steel they removed from the bed.
