Our township here in the farms of South central PA had an old Allis Chalmers road grader when I was growing up. Keep that big rock for wife's flower bed to landscape
I absolutely love your dad's punns it puts a light hearted comedy to the videos, they wouldn't be the same without them. I enjoy seeing the progress to your new homes and everything your family does keep up the awesome work guys
God is good. I've prayed for you to receive his blessings. I tried doing a rain dance, but I have to left feet. I will continue with the prayers, I'm better at that.
I know the Bible says you're not supposed to be envious of your neighbors stuff but you guys have the coolest toys ever and you always put a smile on my face you're so positive and upbeat it's hard not to be envious so I'm working on it and I also pray that you will get some good rain! Blessings!!!
Gentile, mowa bite, love the dry humour! I had the unmentionable "jd" 24hp mower. Yea the bearings go..mine a as from long grass they said it's a strain on bearings.loved that mower.
It is always good to see an American Farmer in action who has not lost his bearing Bob! At least tho you were quick as usual to cut to the point of the matter! Keep that mowing looking up as you spring towards summer! PS Nice road work Nick! -Bob...
With as little rain as you get you don't need but 2-3 percent grade to either side. You'll also appreciate that when it snows and freezes. Don't want to slide off a frozen road when the wind blows hard.
Glad to see that you are building a home. LegArms also. One thought I had was if you planned on having spray foam insulation. We did that 20 years ago when we built our home and never regretted the extra cost. Really cuts down on drafts and with the wind you get, perhaps it might be beneficial. God is always good, despite any setbacks. Greater things are coming.
I started out on Allis Chalmers M100 greater love those gear drives makes your wrists stronger figure out quick put them in gear or don't, no easing the gears in
In Florida we leave that much grass on the deck it rust out in 2 years from our wonderful humidity. I always use a pick to remove a bearing seal and add grease to new bearings as they have very little from the factory and then reinstall seal. I also do it on Idylers new and used ones as it greatly increases life.
1 more thung, insulate the outer walls for a warm basement. Special 4" foam is used. So well worth it !! Got talked out if it on 2nd house, big mistake !
Make Soil Cement to firm it up a lot Mix in powdered Portland cement and binders, mix it in, and let it rain 🌧️ to harden up. And it can be undone with the Scarab...
I rarely comment. Love your videos. In 2 years haven't missed any. Everyone watching knows 3 things about your working family. the old man has 1) a son who is a master class welder, who can weld/fabricate almost anything, in a clear concise interesting way, and at a snap of the fingers can do anything else on the farm and keeps doing on new projects to prove it. 2) a son who is a fantastic welder/fabricator and does it well like his brother, So far tho we all know the other bro is a better at that. He also does more takes smarts/ engineering outside very great 3) and you, the old man. you help/assist your boys a big lot. Because you are not as good of a welder/fabricator as your sons. But you can do that with ease on smaller/medium jobs. and you also are a master at clearly explaining and showing how/why your projects get done. In conclusion: wow, you guys are running a farming welding and fabrication construction University Knowledge Class online for free. wow
I have the same mower. I always have to take the deck off to change blades. Wish I had a lift like you. I took spindle covers off because they collect debris and it makes it easier to blow debris off deck to after use. I love that it is almost complete zero turn with steering wheel, so you can have one hand free. Also Toro is made in USA.👍🇺🇸
You folks sure keep a pretty spread out there. My young son loves watching y'all and so do I. His favorite Mod map on farm sim is always y'alls place. God bless all you good folks. Hope your summers going well, much love and respect to y'all from West TN.
Good thing your mower is not a Husq! The bolts in the mandrel seize up and SNAP when even light pressure is applied. Requiring a total replacement of the mandrel! Even if the mandrel is not bad!
Great video! Exciting building a new house. So happy for you! Well done on the mower repair. The salesman at Landscape supply tried to sell me a zero turn mower but I don't want a mower that only mows in a straight line.
Saw you had a storm yesterday. Nothing like a old storm chaser using his radar app to check out your farm. (to see if it rained) Hope you got a good rain, no hail and enough for the plants to grow. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. God Bless. (PS use radar scope for weather app $$)
Hey Nick on your road you need to take off all the top soil if you don't when it rains it will all turn to mud and your gravel will keep sinking in the mud. Thanks for the video.
Should have replaced all the bearings on the mower deck,once one goes they are all not far from being replaced. Sorry John Deere mowers are a good cut above the rest.
Nick why are you tilting the steerers when going straight? The purpose of tilting is to gain greater steering ability and turn tighter when needed. To make straight travel easier have them in normal position. :)
Thank God you guys are getting some moisture. I don't personally know you all but for some reason I feel compassion for you from watching your videos, just like the compassion I feel for Zach in Minnesota. God Bless
The frost also has a hand in pushing rock to the surface. I'm sure you have frost on occasion. Bob, did you find your bearing? You probably found it as It ended up at the end of your punch on the bench. Great video. I've ran a grader with those pto controls. Wow, they were hard to use.
Aw man, I'm so jealous! I'd love to build road with a grader like that. I built my driveway with my little Allis model D grader but it's only a couple hundred feet and I just cleaned the sod off. At work I grade logging roads but I always dream of actual road building with the grader.
In my earth moving time i renewed soccer fields, with something Legarms have behind his Case. Well actually more something that was behind the 2 Big Buds your father and Legarms did visit in CA (?) but smaller. I did like that work very much yah. And make the sand roads better for the dump trucks to ride smoother. They still do that the same way, only with a watertank behind it. It? Yah a IH 1455. Still nice to see. And often interesting. And uhm, Bob, a nice mower for Karen, with awco. (all windows can open)
Bob, You should have Karen blow the deck off every time she gets done mowing. It keeps the debris from building up and causing issues with belts and pulleys. It seems to work for me. Just my 2 cents! Keep up the good work and say Hi to Coby for me!!
Thanks for another great video Nick. Most interesting and always enjoyable. First of all. You ended the video with rain 🌧 coming down!!!! Just great. Hopefully was enough to count on your moisture needs. Ya!!!! Bob. You lawn repair skills are a cut above most of us. Just saying. A little pun. Following in your shoes. Good job on maintaining the lawn mower for this summer. Is most certainly a high use piece of equipment. All the things you did will put it going good for the summer. Those bearings do a lot of spinning. Excellent service job Bob on the mower. Must certainly a “”cut above””. Nick your road is coming along good. Takes a lot to grade a road and get the crown right and all that. Did not realize how far your new homes are away from the current farmstead. Your new road is long, believe you said a mile or something like that. Will be nice to have your new homes built and living in them. Weld that lever back on your grader. You are stronger than you think/ha!!! About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Welkers!!!!! The Iowa farm boy.
Wish I lived in the middle of somewhere like that... Plant a nice hedge, some trees, etc . Gorgeous...
If the grader brings rain, I believe I'da stayed in it til it got bogged in the mud!
And then keep goin
@@teakdougyfresh9528 Yeah .. they got that Yankum rope !!!

Hi Bob, 👋 great to see ya working in the shop, good thing the rain showed up, now nick have time can clean up that mess in the shop.
It is always good to see an American Farmer in action who has not lost his bearing Bob! At least tho you were quick as usual to cut to the point of the matter! Keep that mowing looking up as you spring towards summer! PS Nice road work Nick! -Bob...
maybe a couple of bricks short.........blessings Bob👍
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Tis it not better to be a couple bricks short than to be dealt from the bottom of the deck, and being blocked?
Prayers for our farmers may they get the rain they need without hail or high winds
Good to see you folks getting some much needed rain.
Awesome you got some rain. Hope it was enough to do something for the crops. Glad to see progress on the future home!
Glad to see rain! Praying for you all
Glad to see you get some rain, I hope it's enough to make a difference.
With as little rain as you get you don't need but 2-3 percent grade to either side. You'll also appreciate that when it snows and freezes. Don't want to slide off a frozen road when the wind blows hard.

they are foaming and basement in floor heating
Thanks Bob for showing us that you are a cut above the rest as you repaired the mower. 😊
yes I can be a little edge-ee at times. thanks RD👍
Glad you did get some rain. Hope your sister/daughters trip went well. Stay safe and healthy.
It’s great to see God answer prayers for your rain. Well keep praying for more!
I started out on Allis Chalmers M100 greater love those gear drives makes your wrists stronger figure out quick put them in gear or don't, no easing the gears in
Like the tee shirt Nick!! Will be looking forward to seeing the new home someday. Love the the LAWNMOWER repairs. Thanks Men, God Bless.
Thanks Greg! God bless!

Amen on the rain🙏 ! Mama Welker is 'bearing' the brunt of cutting the lawn without 'Mowning' about it. She always makes the 'cut'.😂
love the punning over her. she get too much from me.....
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I always have to give it a try. 😃
awesome video. Good luck on the new road to your future home . Thank you guys. Nice seeing your dad also
1 more thung, insulate the outer walls for a warm basement. Special 4" foam is used. So well worth it

Glad to see that you finally got some rain 👍👍
Water standing in the borrow pits - outstanding!!!

Rain! What a welcome sight, hope it was decent!
so glad you cleaned out the cutting deck we let the m dry then paint red oxide underneath to stop em rusting through
I like how your adding top soil to the whole field while using the road grader.
I have the same mower. I always have to take the deck off to change blades. Wish I had a lift like you. I took spindle covers off because they collect debris and it makes it easier to blow debris off deck to after use. I love that it is almost complete zero turn with steering wheel, so you can have one hand free. Also Toro is made in USA.👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the reminder Bob. I almost forgot to do the maintenance on my mower. I usually mow every 5 days here in Florida. She’s long overdue.
Looking forward to seeing the restoration on that Wagner tractor
Praying you guys get more rain to bring on your crops.
Praise THE LORD for the rain I hope u guys got alot GOD BLESS THE WELKERS FAMILY 🙏🏻👍🙂
You folks sure keep a pretty spread out there. My young son loves watching y'all and so do I. His favorite Mod map on farm sim is always y'alls place. God bless all you good folks. Hope your summers going well, much love and respect to y'all from West TN.
You guys can truly do about anything and I admire that

Good luck building your road Nick
Send some rain to Texas too. Awesome work.
Road looks good !!!! Rain looks even better !!!!!!!!!
Good to see you guys getting some rain finally, I hope it is enough to help your crops, cheers 👍🇦🇺
Nice looking road, nice fix on the mower
A mile long driveway! I live in NJ that would take me into another county. Boy do you have open space. BTW your family are the best.
God Bless
Good to see some rain, praying for more.
Thank god u guys got some rain god bless
Thank you! Sorry I cannot help y’all more. God bless
I know you guys glad to see that rain
Slowly But Surely fellas that road will be nice God Bless
Let it rain, let it rain. Take care and God bless
Thanks EJ, God bless!
Grade the top soil off to the field and use the clay or whatever is below that for the road.
Nick & Scott... if you are planning to have a basement... make it either a 9' or 10', certainly not an 8'. I learned from experience !
They're 9'
Glad you’re getting rain👍👍
Good catch on the mower. Most guys would have just blown it off, checked the oil, filled it with gas, and shipped it!!!
Thank you GOD, for sending rain that is desperately needed. All glory to the Father!!!!!!
Saw you had a storm yesterday. Nothing like a old storm chaser using his radar app to check out your farm. (to see if it rained) Hope you got a good rain, no hail and enough for the plants to grow. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. God Bless. (PS use radar scope for weather app $$)
An ole knucklebuster! Been a while since I've seen one of those still running.
Thank you God bless you
Hey Nick on your road you need to take off all the top soil if you don't when it rains it will all turn to mud and your gravel will keep sinking in the mud. Thanks for the video.
Thy have a whole different kind of soil there
Lesley is correct and the top soil was buried 2 feet below as I kept pulling sub soil up while forming ditches.
That's what I wanted to see .. the road being put down for the Welkers homes ... and hope you get some rain !!!
Should have replaced all the bearings on the mower deck,once one goes they are all not far from being replaced. Sorry John Deere mowers are a good cut above the rest.
Poor LegArms, he has to walk to his new home! You got a road!
Impressive what you can do Bob with one hand and camera in the other!
Keep that rain coming!
Hi Bob and Family's Ryegrass is drought tolerant and disease tolerant. It is a cool season grass that would do well in your environment.
Good job Nick 👍
I love your dads sense of humour
Glad your getting rain finally 👌
God bless

Methinks the ripper that mounts in front of the moldboard on a road grader is called a scarifier. A scarab is a beetle . Just saying🙂🙂
thank goodness for the rain
Excited to watch your house building projects. Happy for you two and families.
You guys never cease to amaze me and what you guys can do at your shop and with your equipment that you have build roads everything
Glad you got rain.
Rain makes grain,
a lil rain IS a GOOD thing!
The frost also has a hand in pushing rock to the surface. I'm sure you have frost on occasion. Bob, did you find your bearing? You probably found it as It ended up at the end of your punch on the bench. Great video. I've ran a grader with those pto controls. Wow, they were hard to use.
Good to see you're still rocking a Toro mower. My dad built them for 25 years!
That's pretty cool did he work there when they were Wheelhorse?
Awesome drone footage
Be interesting to know why you chose the area to build the new house on the places you set out over than building them close to the workshop
Have you considered converting the Steiger to a Diesel/electric. There are lots of old train motors out there. Good project for LegArms.
Good video I'm happy for you guys in doing your houses.
Aw man, I'm so jealous! I'd love to build road with a grader like that. I built my driveway with my little Allis model D grader but it's only a couple hundred feet and I just cleaned the sod off. At work I grade logging roads but I always dream of actual road building with the grader.

Make it good and wide…. It’ll double as a good runway 😁👌🏻
Glad to see the precip for you guys , threaten to cut grass more often .god bless
Bob, You should have Karen blow the deck off every time she gets done mowing. It keeps the debris from building up and causing issues with belts and pulleys. It seems to work for me. Just my 2 cents! Keep up the good work and say Hi to Coby for me!!
We blew off our lawn tractor and under the hood/radiator after mowing every time on the farm.
Hey Bob I like your PROFOUND WISDOM you are the BEST 👍
Most jump start battery packs have lighter sockets built in, would be an easy way to power the power GPS by tossing a jump pack in.
You guys have one awesome dad!
Rain, good. Home, best!
I just love this channel great content keep up the good work thank you for putting food on my table...
Love seeing that rain I hope you get a real Soaker

Nice road !!! Can tell it's not a government project they would take all that dirt out and bring a new dirt
