- It is Sunday, so I am going to stay busy doing some odd jobs around the homestead. Jobs that I will enjoy doing. I am going to try to braze cast aluminum, setup the game cameras, cook ribs, and fix a seized up top link for the case tractor.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.
Take the hinge to a vocational tec school with a welding program . The one I went to begged the locals to bring in projects for the more advanced students to practice on. I welded a ton of farming items !!!!!!!!! FOR FREE
Your Sunday routine should include an hour at church to thank the Lord for all his blessings
Yes.
Could you have glued the hing back together with j b weld it don’t really have much stress
Try JB Weld for the cast housing repair. I used it for my lathe quick change housing and has been solid for 20 years.
I worked in aerospace for 38 years much of the time certifying welders on cast aluminum. It is one of the hardest things to weld well. Every applicant said they could do it, few were actually able to get certified. Not an easy task. Maybe a local shop can TIG weld it for you.
My son is in aerospace / aircraft; works as a mechanical engineer with specificity in stress analysis.
Your pond is so beautiful with the autumn trees surrounding it and the ducks floating by. But oh, those ribs! Bet they were finger lickin good! And Evan, don't forget to fix the hinge on the trailer door. With his year's abundance of red peppers I made a red pepper and tomato soup and a red pepper hummus. Both delicious!
That's one craft I wish I knew something about. Absolutely no experience with a torch to know how much of this gas or that gas or even how to cut with one. Interesting watching you try your hand at brazing that kind of material. even though it didn't work, it look like you had the general idea of it.
Good morning Even, when repairing the hing on the lath door, try J-B Weld, it works well, and on the top link, try stress relief by screwing threaded end into link untill it hits a rough spot then place link on a hard object such as an anvil and hit with hammer as you turn link, it will reform threads . Good luck
I didn't see any grease fittings on the toplink. It would be quick to drill and tap each side for a zerk and you would never have to worry about it again. And once-a-year grease will go a long way on a toplink.
Sounds like an experienced man with a plan ...
Just a few drops of oil avoids the problem.
Before fabricating a hinge, try one more time. When brazing, you need a slightly carbonizing flame with a tiny feather of unburned gas at the centre. It looks like you have a neutral or possibly oxidizing flame. Also preheat the whole casting and let it cool as slowly as possible, perhaps in the oven. I haven't brazed aluminium but I guess its the same as cast iron.
Gosh, those ribs looked so good!😊🐾❤️
What a beautiful way to start the day. 🥤Coffee at the lake, What a wonderful fall harvest. The ribs look delicious Let's hear it for Sweet Baby Ray's😊. The new barn compliments the house nicely. Thanks for taking us along on your Sunday.
Very well stated.
Maybe not "relaxing" to many folks but when you have so much to look after every little "slow down" is nice. I can see that center link was quiet a project though. And those ribs had my mouth watering even this far away - I could even smell them 😄. But thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to the wildlife videos.
Great to see how well you treat your livestock. For a few years I helped my friend's kids with their 4H pigs (I had the truck and trailer😏) and I saw some HORRIFIC ways that people were keeping their hogs. I still shudder...so good job!
Was a pleasure watching your Sunday. Thank you :-)
Nice to see you having a relaxing Sunday, haven't seen very many of those. LOL
I would guess Scout is the more dominant one of the pair which is probably why Sydney lays down when they wrestle. But I'm sure not any kind of dog whisperer that's for sure. Heck, I can't keep mine from chewing up the house when we leave her alone at home.. lol.
Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca, great day of relaxation. I call it my shed time. At the end of the day I am able to relax and enjoy what I accomplished or learned from the failure. Those ribs looked awesome. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻✋🏻✋🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Would JB weld work on that aluminum? Have you ever tried anti seize on threads? I’ve had pretty good luck with that. Thanks for sharing your day.
very well ture and also epoxie might hold it also or mabe a little bit of both and it might really hold it.
PB Blaster works wonders on stiff parts. You need to try some Everglades seasoning.Delish, on meat, seafood, salads.
Most people don’t get the concept that heavy duty foil is the only foil. Thought you were sending the pigs to freezer camp?
In the Next upcoming video they leave.
Here's a little tip for you. I find the membrane pulls off a lot easier when you grab it with a piece of paper towel and pull it off.
Completely get the idea of working on things you want to vs. things you have to, when you need a bit of a break. I am the same way. Speaking of break, I think I would be prone to try to drill, pin and use epoxy on that lathe cover. It will not be under too much load, of course, just vibration.
Love this video of "piddling" it is amazing the amount of little jobs that get done on a day like this. Having the ribs to eat during the work time sure helps too. They looked delicious. If you and Holly like stuffing (I mean the kind you have with turkey or chicken), my Mom used to buy pork ribs when I was a little girl and she would cut them into portions for 4 of us, not sure how many ribs that would be, then she would stuff them with a bread stuffing, roll them up and tie them. She would bake them in the oven till they were tender and nicely browned. A great Sunday meal with vegetable on the side. As I re read this I was wondering if she might have cooked them in a covered roaster...not sure. This was more than 70 years ago. My how time flies. Have a Blessed day.
I’ve used alumaloy rods to fix a couple things years ago.. it’s low temperature …looked in the garage can’t find them or I’d send them to you.. been a lot of years and a move 🤷 or I would have sent some .. good luck .. absolutely love this channel you two are amazing , humble and very interesting!!! Thank you for sharing …
That's a common lathe. You can probably find a replacement door on ebay. Best of luck, Stay Healthy............................
Ribs look good enough to eat
You do more before 9:00am than many do all day. Glad you take time to putter and explore.
I've been eating ribs for 60 years and never seen anyone eat ribs with a fork, yes they looked good and tender.
Hello all and thanks for another quality video
Deer hunting this year??? It has been a great year for my family in the woods!! 😄
Enjoyed your video ,great job..those ribs looked tasty...yup would try JB Weld next...what have you got to lose...
Project Farm did a comparison video with the aluminum welding or brazing rods. There was a big difference in some of them! He also did one with JB weld the glue.... Luv ya's from Kentucky!
Evan, forget the braze/weld, get some JB Weld. Guaranteed to fix those pieces. Hopefully you can get the globs off from the aluminum rod. See this video for proof: ruclips.net/video/H4xX7VecgzA/видео.html
"Brazing aluminum ... I watched youtube and learned a bunch of bad habits" Lol.
Pit boss, 3-2-1, meat church and sweet baby rays!! Thats a winning combo here too!! Lol
Btw, how muc land do you actually have?
Liquid JB Wells What if done the crack I dropped my alternator and cracked the housing once you're the JB wild It held
Another very good BBQ rub is sold at Dollar Tree. It is called Memphis BBQ Rub. A good size container of it for a dollar.
Argon welding would be the ony proper way to fix this broken hinge .. doesn't matter how much you watch those "how to" videos about brazing aluminium on RUclips, it still needs some experience in this field and exact knowing what kind of aluminium alloy you're dealing with. ✌
Brazing aluminum is extremely hard to do. All aluminum work is hard to do because it can droop or fall away. Time to learn how to tig weld.
I’ve tried a lot of BBQ sauces but my favorite is Rufus Teague. It’s made with raisin paste and they have about 4-5 different flavors. I can honestly say all of them are good. It’s definitely a different taste but you won’t regret it.
JBWeld will do the trick on that hinge. Buy yourself a couple of thread files. Not expensive for what they do. Good to see your relaxing day. Those ribs looked soooo good,

Best of luck archery hunting. I just shot my first deer a few days ago with archery. 57 years old and my first archery kill. Very exciting.
ON THAT HINGE, I KNOW YOU WORK ON STUFF, BUT ME , I WOULD GRAB MY GO TO FIX IT STUFF, JB WELD, THEY HAVE SEVERAL KINDS, BUT I'M 59, AND HAVE SOME ON A CHAIN SAW NOB, 40 YEARS AGO, STILL GOOD
Evan, small jobs like that hinge repair. Mix up some JB Welt. That will hold it well and no problemo.
Hello dinner looked good. I've never have brazed aluminum but I have welded. I have ac dc welder and I use aluminum welding rods dc works perfect. You can ship it to me I will repair no change if you want. Your third arm on the 3 point hitch if you heat red hot and drop in cold water it will easy turn out just a thought. Hows the hay field coming? Your place looks great have a good day.
I think your Aluminium door might not be Aluminium, but an alloy!
I also think you can't braze Ally but you can weld it .... but it is not something you can watch a video on and do it!
Probably something you should take to a shop and get them to do ;o)
A big baked potato and maybe slaw/baked beans would have went with those ribs...yummy
I broke my vise doing the same thing as you are doing with a stubborn top link and a big pipe wrench 😁. I was successful in welding it after 3 or 4 tries.
When I worked in a machine shop I turned aluminium. You can watch it oxidise as you cut it. So you are trying to braize aluminium oxide. Good luck with that!
Binge watching your vids, now im wanting small farn . Garden and an Apple tree😁😏
Great video. Talk to some people on ideas to braze or solder that door hinge. I don’t know what it is but my father-in-law ended up with some trick low heat rod that is super tough and can hold like it was welded. Best of luck!!!
Done tree work on the olympic penisula a long time. Every tree is different, undercuts plY an important part in the safety aspect. Most mordant is it on the ground and you not hurt, it must have worked well.
.
Heat and some wax on rusty screws works wonders. Heat it red, let it cool to where the wax isn't burning off, and it'll wick up the threads. I may be new to farming but working on rusty stuff is certainly not new at all.
JB WELD to fix your hinge or buy a aluminum feeder for your Miller welder.
Snap-On thread files or commonly called thread chaser files
Oil and grease Evan, oil and grease. That is that top link's best friends. Keep it coated in oil and grease, keeps the rust away.
Epoxy would be a very good alternative to brazing
I agree with the other comments, JB weld would be worth a try. When Project Farm did his test it came out on top.
Great video awesome! To see a day in the life view. Man Evan your place is just a beautiful spot.
Do not use a wire brush to clear your grill rack, you sure don't want to have one of those little wires get caught in your throat..just little friendly advice...
they make a Thread-File which is indispensable when it comes to farm equipment they are a square rod with thread pitches milled into them on different size thread pitches and then the file teeth are cut into those thread pitch grooves .... I have one in metric but it would really help you on things like that top link any buggered up threads can be repaired ( more or less) with one of these files ! obviously if the threads have been hit with a hammer and the peeks of the threads are mashed it will not help replace those peaks... but it will clean up the groves just like a die.... and that is what you need !
Got my first deer with a bow this year! I'm from Indiana just a few hours from you. Its so different with a bow! You will have to track a little farther, but that adds to the accomplishment of harvesting your deer
Hello, that is my kind of Sunday. Thank you for sharing.
Question for any one watching. Do they make a game camera with solar charge batteries?Batteries are getting costly and don't seem to last long.
I think it would hold better with Liquid Steel, that stuff holds anything!
Tig weld would be the best way to go. Straight argon different welding machine
Evan use JB WELD it works great for so many things
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE SPRAYS TO LIKE WD40 AND YOU ARE USING A TORCH LIKE YOU DID JUST DIP IT IN A BUCKET OF WATER TO COOL IT DOWN QUICK AND IT WILL COME UNSCREW. I HAD A WELL DRILLER SHOW ME THAT TRICK IT WORKS GREAT FOR THINGS LIKE THAT TOP LINK
Good job trying to grade. If we don't try, we never learn. Thanks for the video and yes the ribs looked yummy.
All your work has paid off. Your place looks fantastic.
Id make another really beefy vice stand ,maybe narrowing it some and fastening to the floor 😎
Since u are lot busy on farm with limited time bowhunt why not get crossbow u sight in then all good go instead spend time practice shoot bow I love doing both but age and old inquiry got best of me 👍
Interesting. Your season is several weeks longer than ours here in southeast Michigan. My veggies all wilted in the frost a few weeks ago.
Try J B weld , ive had good luck with it on other jobs...
Nice view back across your pond!
I will share the secret of successful bow hunting with you……..
Just as soon as I learn what it is.
I’d give JB weld a try. For $10, it’s worth a try
you might have to j&b weld it or try some epoxie not sure if it will hold it but it might i am only 15 so don't really trust me to much lol but it might work it held some of our stuff good
yeah ... JB weld or an Epoxy glue ... thats what I would do
I wonder if that cover for the lathe is magnesium rather than cast aluminum??
Just take it to a welding shop they can fix it right I did not you using any flux with the rod most times I see guys using flux with that rod
What is a side by side?
A UTV. (Utility Terrain Vehicle) Like a Polaris ranger.
Do yourself a favor and go to Costco or Sams and get the large box of restaurant heavy grade foil. Ours has lasted us for five years and it's been great to have and never run out.
YOU DON’T EAT RIBS WITH A FORK! FINGERS ONLY!
Many thanks for the quick reply!
Weld it like you had it.sand cast a new one.a little bondo and paint.fixed!
Lovely video.🙏🏻🔥👍🇨🇮☘️🚜
I enjoy your show,learn by experience!!
Clean up your mess and take it to a welding shop , they will Tug weld it like new .
Great sharing 👀👈
Oh no there was something very wrong with the ribs, I was not invited.
try copper based anti seize , it lasts forever, no more rusted treads
We are getting rain tonight and snow soon and I'm from SW Ontario
I will be over in 2 minutes to help eat the dinner with you guys.
Braze it back on, then use whole piece to cast your own new entire door.
I spy with my little eye a wood stove for the shop!!!
Evan, you might try a good epoxy in your hinge. Two years before my Dad retired, a freak cold snap hit and ended up freezing up our F12 Tractor, cracking the head of the engine. My Dad sent me to garage to retrieve a tube of a product called Glues-All. He smeared a goodly amount on both sides of the crack and weighted it down into place with some steel we had laying around. It sat for a couple of days, put coolant in it, fired it up and we used it for the next two years. It was still glued together when my oldest brother let it sit out in the weather with no cover on the stack and it ceased the motor. Epoxies are even tougher today.
In the machine shop at a plant I was Maintenance Manager we used a product called Belzona to build up worn shafts to keep us running until a new shift could be obtained. We used it on pump shafts, motor shots and rotational shafts in machines. If it's still available, that may work as well.
Save your pipe wrench use a four to six foot pipe over the handle, more leverage
Is deer hunting season longer with a crossbow? Will you actually NEED a deer with all that meat you are going to have? 😂 Nice to hear from you
Corpus Christi TX
Yes deer archery season is from October into January. Firearm season is 3 days and a 4 days on the weekends before and after Thanksgiving.
