    I really appreciate how your farm cleans and maintains your equipment! Getting a machine good and clean before starting the maintenance really helps in spotting future problems. Hoses chafing, belts wearing inappropriately,welds starting to fail, seals leaking, and on and on! Catching problems now helps to keep your equipment in the field when you really need it. Keep up the great work and keep posting your wonderful content!

      Sorry for your loss. I had to check your name and see if it was my father-in-law who just lost his wife seven weeks ago. Since he’s a retired Black dirt Central Illinois farmer, it’s very suspect the amount of widows that within 24 hours started, expressing their condolences. His daughters are a little irritated.😅

    Hey Chet, Doug is so correct I live in Florida on the Gulf with a boat, yes bring steak, beer, gas it got so crazy I was going broke with repairs as well as maintenance. A reminder B O A T (Bring on another thousand). I gave up with so many requests every few day I sold the boat. I thought it was over when I sold the motor home. They keep calling and asking now it’s the weekend pool party. God give those with lots of toys strength.

    @tiredoldmechanic1791 5 месяцев назад +1

    My friends with a boat were the same way. The first year they got it they put 40 hours on it. The second year 16 hours, the third year 4 hours then it sat in the building for 2 years never used. They bought a bigger boat that they could sleep on and planned to go on long trips. They had to rent dock space on the Mississippi River 30 minutes away. When they found out how much fuel it used they decided not to make any long trips. They had to pay to have it lifted out and stored every year. They used it for two summers then sold it.

    I was watching when Chet and Brody were cleaning the chemical trailer. Chet talked about getting the swags out of the line under the trailer.my suggestion is, use a split pvc pipe a half inch or one inch larger than the line , length of the trailer and mount it so you can tip either way or, just mount the line in a pipe ❤

  • @liftbig03
    @liftbig03 5 месяцев назад +1

    Being the same age as Dougo, I really like his stories. I still would love to hear a chronology of the equipment over the years. I found it very interesting that not all that long ago (in my mind LOL!) the farm used, what? two JD 55s and a 4400 ? At least I think that's what he said once. I think he said they once planted 500+ acres once in day with a 12-row planter. Pretty cool stuff!

    It most certainly was interesting.
    Oh my, another boat story by Dougo. Most entertaining stories are about the boat. Now the props on the motor are bent. That will be an expensive fix I bet. Hang on Dougo.
    Like to hear your boat stories Dougo.
    Oh my, hang in there. We will be ready for the next one.
    I know how you feel Dougo. I had a race car for a short time. It was terrifying expensive just keeping it going. The bent up parts just killed you. Loved the day it got sold. No more headaches. Bye.
    Really am sorry to see that Chris has left. He was a great addition to the Larson team. Super nice guy. Understand he had other things to do but sorry he left. Thanks Chris for all you did for the Larson family. Take care and my best wishes to you always.
    I see the purple truck had an engine overhaul. Should be a good runner now.
    Thanks for everything Chet. You all take care and be safe.

  • @grbockman1310
    @grbockman1310 5 месяцев назад +4

    Sometimes "boat" is spelled "boatt", as in "ten thousand" (been there, done that). Do a run out check with a dial indicator. Most brands specify no more than 2 thousandths of an inch (0.002"). Keep in mind that a prop shaft being bent 0.001 from straight will rotate and give you a total of 0.002" out of true. It doesn't take much of a whack to bend a prop shaft, especially on the dual prop installations. You may also look at submitting an insurance claim. (again, been there and done that).

    • @BJMDWIT
      @BJMDWIT 5 месяцев назад +3

      If you bend a stainless prop, you’ve bent the output shaft. The bent shaft will take out the lower unit gears. Very expensive.
      You bend an aluminum prop, the output shaft may be good.

They just go to show good times were happening.........👍.

    • @hawks2252
      @hawks2252 5 месяцев назад

      especially when you bend the hardened steel ones like Dougo has you know you hit something good. I have taken some nice chunks out of / bent the softer metal ones. Wont even get into why my skag is half the size it should be. Good ol' Mille Lacs. I've towed boats back to the landing that were missing entire lower units - it happens.

    @robertmelchionda7456 5 месяцев назад

    I appreciate your boat situation. My son borrowed mine one year and the seawater pump impeller failed. He was towed back to the dock and then it was off to the shop for repairs. I then took it out and blew the head gaskets as the engine overheated! You'll never guess why! The shop failed to clean out the cooling system of the hard rubber parts from the previous impeller failure! Oops! Needless to say, I found all this out and more improper maintenance when I did the repair work myself! Do it yourself and save in the long run, unless you have someone you really can trust! Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Bust out another thousand, never heard that one. They are stinking enjoyable when it's a good day. Somehow stayed even on my first Powerboat. Duggo it's a lifestyle, just gotta think that true boaters never complain. Great stuff I was laughing

    Haven't seen Toby the beagle in a while. Is the good boy ok?
