Clear as mud Nick, clear as mud. Those new/old seats are nice, so it's not what you know, but who you know, to get them. Good to see Dad, getting up in the world, to the top.
Scott's ability to fabricate on the spot is just impressive as Heck !!!
Damn boys paint them big dogs red.....I love them. Just like a Hotrod, make it the way you want it and I love the new seats.
Honestly, your best option for pinstripes might very well be just painting them on. It'll be pricier than using the stick on stuff, but it will hold up for as long as the paint does.
Or learn to stripe yourself and then never have to pay again. It's important to get good brushes and learn a stable and braced hold that you can be consistent with, and remember only you will know about the mistakes.
Watching a pro who does freehand pin-striping is amazing. Also, it looks so good. Expensive, but great, long lasting appearance.
Hand painted isn't difficult, it's all about the Touch and proper paint thinning, and a nice feather brush. Hire a car painter and pick his brains, and film it all for future reference. . Small jobs you can DIY , Goofs wipe off with thinner.
I can see Bob got the raise he’s been wanting. Great video, wonderful family. God bless.
😂😂😂
What would Welker Farm be without the Buds?
Unthinkable...😮
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
God bless to you and the family. Let's hope you have a better season this year with the crops
Thanks Greg, God bless!
Looks like Bob's cleaning ambitions went through the roof... 🤪😁😇
I think Legarms could weld 2 streams of water together and make a hefty PTO shaft out of a roll of toilet papers 😆. In fact, all three of you are awesome in your talents! Thanks for sharing it all.
The 4th seat should go into the big brute. Bob is amazing, cleaning the ceiling is hard work. I sure enjoy your videos too!
Thanks for watching, Jim!
Have you fellows ever been discouraged? It seems you tackle everything with a smile and extreme enthusiasm and anticipation of a positive outcome. Pretty amazing.
We definitely do and more often than not. But we try to stay positive and keep our videos positive.
You know its spring when it beeps on the phone "RUclips notif Welker farms prep" 😄😄👍👍👍👍 /SWEDEN
To help get the sticky residue off from the pinstriping, you can get basically a rubber eraser that goes in a drill to erase the gunk. They work great. Check with an auto body supply shop. They could probably help you find good striping as well.
This, but that is last resort because you need to hit everything with the wheel and you have lots of striping. Would try sticker removers or glue solvents first. But you have to be careful with the paint yes.
Last tip for the wheel, don't stay to long in one spot. Heat is the enemy.
Goo b gone. Gets rid of decal and tape residue almost instantly. Available at canadian tire in canada not sure where it is,Available in the USA. Comes is a spray bottle.
I couldn’t look when nick was hammering that spherical bushing, face right next to it with no safety glasses on! Please be safe, you only get one set of eyes!
What a big difference cleaning has done I guess it's true you don't realise how dirty it gets until it gets a good clean your dad has done a good job
I use sockets and threaded rod to draw in spherical bearings. Then you can either impact them or use a ratchet to draw them in.
Hey Nick the next time you are crawl underneath the tractor please could you put on a pair of safety glasses or safety goggles I know about your arm we don't want your eyes to go thank you for the fantastic videos but please safety first thank you 🚜
Hi, first of all, sorry for my english i hope you understand what I'm saying and cheers from Croatia! :) Best way to remove sticker is sticker remover spray and then pressure washing, (you can scrape it but it will leave marks) it is slow and painfull process but the only way to really clean it without any marks on the paint. :)
I removed 3M tape and any kind of sticky tape that way on steel and plastic and i tried many chemichals and stuff but that spray and pressure washing (hot watter works better than cold) is the best if you want surface to be as new. Spray it try to scrape it maybe with some plastic tools and then wash and then repeat. God bless you, hope i could help you. By :) :) :)
Amazes me how simple Big Bud made their tractors to be able to be serviced and adapted to new technologies
Real happy to see you have friends who are thinking of you when certain things come up that you can use…gotta love Racine Wisconsin
Have to get Dad to make some wood for those seats stain them seal them up they would look really nice your dad does awesome work
On our trucks, after we put pinstripes/stikers on them, we apply a layer of clear coat. They look perfect even after 12 years.
Good to see the Buds come to life for another season of work. Some maintenance is "way" cheaper than payments on a new one. With the uncertainty in weather, fertilizer availability and price the old horses will get the job done. God bless you Welkers
Thanks John, God bless!
Bob is doing such a good job on the walls and the ceiling. I'm such a "fan" of his. Great video guys.
His highest calling. 😎
@@willb3018 🤣
In the seventies we used (3 M) pinstriping, many different sizes. Easy to use and lasted for years. My brother still uses it. Any auto parts store should have it.
It always seemed like using anything but 3M Scotch brand tape is just a waste of time. C&C equipment makes decals that seem to last. The other option would be to paint them on.
When using a hammer or power tools always wear your safety glasses!!
Especially with a wire wheel! Those wires break off all the time. I had to have one removed in an ER from my bicep that I couldn’t pull out. I can only imagine what one would do to an eye!
@@Manoffire260 Agreed! I have pulled a lot out of my skin that have been sunk in really far. Amazingly, I did not feel them go in, just noticed the when my hand brushed against them.
My sister used to do street signage back in the late 1980's. Their shop used 3M striping tape on the signs, I believe. 3M also makes on adhesive remover that I used several times at my regular job when we had to change logo decals on our trucks that worked very good. Stay warm and pray for moisture!
Appreciate it! Will get some of that 3m when it is time to paint the stripes on.
@@WelkerFarms 3m is pretty much the go-to brand for quality lol
And the fact the old adhesive is still firmly attached to the paint shows that you did nothing wrong with the installation, it's just poor quality pin striping.
If it was surface contamination or too cold or wet or whatever when you applied it, the adhesive would be failing off the paint rather than the film failing and coming off its own adhesive.
Yep I cleaned all the ceilings and walls in my 40 x 48 shop when I got married and we had the reception there and it was the best day of my life along with all the days of the 32 years of my marriage
Yes painted pinstripes Nick!!!!! 👍👍👍
I think Dad should become a professional ceiling cleaner 🤪🤪🤪
I so enjoy your family and all the way you all enjoy working together as a loving God Loving Family. Thank You for letting us share with us.
It’s so wonderful to see you you’ve had snow. You guys are 2000 miles from me, but I’ve still been following the weather in hopes that you get enough snow and rain for spring planting this year.
Prayers for a great planting season, and as always, thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Thanks for watching, Teresa!
Bob is doing a great job cleaning and it looks awesome. Scott is a great fabricator. Nick where were your safety glass's. Good to see the Big Buds out.
Good video guys its great to see you guys looking after the Big Buds and putting in some new red chairs. God Bless
Bob, I feel your pain, ya spoiled those boys, now you have to clean that shop yourself! - lol
Thanks for another great video Welkers. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure.
Bob, good job on the puns again. You being a “fan” of cleaning the ceiling, good one. And then doing a “simple” way of cleaning the ceilings, believe you referred to using simple green cleaner, I think. You might of had a third one but can’t remember it. Tough to get old.
Always enjoy the puns Bob.
Nick you asked about pin striping on the big bud. 3m makes some real good striping and a good cleaner to get the old adhesive off before applying the new. A body shop that stripes might have a good suggestion also.
Wow, working on those steering pumps has turned out to be not so easy. But seems you all have it in hand now. Can understand that many years of use wears things out. Leg arms has the engineering part of it figured out. Your abilities to make the part or reengineering them continues to amaze me. Good job all of you.
I sincerely hope you have a great year with your crops after last year. Trust you will get some moisture this year for the crops. Spring seeding just around the corner.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
👍
You guys really know how to give your viewers the shaft! (And the splines, and gears, and bolts, and ........) 😊 Always a pleasure watching you work. Stay safe and God bless.
Scott you are amazing! Your engineering abilities outshine many schooled engineers. And look at you lifting that seat, your bad are must be almost back to normal. God bless and be safe.
I would get ahold of Newman signs out of Jamestown ND and ask them if they can make you up some pinstriping.. They make billboard signs and they're material they use is awesome.. I get my stickers and decals made there and have been very impressed..
You can take the pin-striping off with an eraser wheel that’s made to remove decals and the foam tape residue without damaging paint. I find a battery powered drill works good but most people use them in a pneumatic drill or grinder with chuck. You can get them from any auto parts store that sells auto body supplies! It looks like a round eraser, about 3”, on a small shaft you chuck up on!
Other than painting the stripes on try 3M, it will probably cost more but always seemed to last. Most auto stores should be able to get like a NAPA or what is in your area. It was the only pin striping used in the body shop I worked in years ago, except for pinstripe kits from manufactures but they often were 3M. One of my vehicles has painted on design that is on there for ever, it is even clear coated over it. Hope your shoulder heals up fast and well. I had the "Brett Favre" surgery on my shoulder a few years ago, it is better now. Stay safe and healthy, I am a fan of Bob.
worlds best pinstriping is still paint! thats why the pinstripe artists are still out there!
You cannot beat 3M pin stripes ! Auto-Trim of Prescott, AZ. is awesome !, and nice family to work with ! Very Professional !
My wife's father had a 525/25 used it on the farm just out of Richey, Mt. The power of the beast was unbelievable.
Bob - the walls and ceiling look amazing - keep up the amazing work. It will be worth it in the long run.
Nick & Scott - that old iron is the best way to go. Keep up the TLC, the next generation of Welker's will be running them.
God Bless!
You can buy spline shims. We’ve used them in skidder driveshaft yokes and road tractor yokes, and a hydraulic pump stack on a processor. They work well.
Hey guys just wanted to thank you for the chat at the Hampton breakfast. It was awesome to meet all of you. Ricky and Jenna Gardner
It was cool to meet you👍👍. I'm sure Jenna got an "eye" full at the convention. And appreciate you looking out for your daughter.
Nick, next time welding a nut to remove a bolt try welding a washer on first then a nut much easier. Please put on some safety glasses when using a wire wheel. I was cringing watching you. Love your videos, keep up the great work, stay safe. I hope you have some good news on you shoulder, I had to have both of my shoulders repaired, very painful.
Cool score on the new seats. And fashion trendsetter leg arms looks good in the sleeveless hoodie. Starting a new look with that. Everyone will want one.
Bob, you are doing a great job on the cleaning. It is faithless work but when it's done it will look great and be a lot brighter in there. Keep up the good work
Always impressed with you guys to adapt and overcome obstacles thrown at you all. Can't wait to see how Scott configures the seat mount. Clean the old stripping off and paint it on.
Great to see you are getting back to working with your family in the workshop Nick! I think you should put one those lovely seats in the big brute!! After all you do spend a lot of time in her. Your dad is doing a marvellous job cleaning the roof, Rob from the 🇬🇧🍺🍺
I'm always impressed on what you guys can do
Hoping / praying for a great 2022 season for the farm. Diesel smoke in a building - reminds me of the fire station - get a call - 1 engine - 1 ladder - 1 ambulance all start up. Not the same anymore - now they have a vent system to remove it. The crew had to wash the ceilings like dad is doing. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe and God Bless.
@Eric E Thank you - sure miss the job. Never know what was coming up next. Someone cleaning paint brushes in their basement with gas. next to a gas water heater.......
Facial expressions crackin my big ass up cause I know I look the same way in tight spaces!! Love the content and hope n for a bumper crop for y’all up north this year
For the pin striping you can use a caramel wheel on a drill and it will rip that residue off super quick and not damage the paint at all. What you can do at the same time is tape off the pinstripe that your removing, use the caramel wheel to take off the residue and the remaining tape, wipe it down with acetone and then use a red enamel paint and paint it. It will be a lot tougher than the pinstripe tape and won't fade as quickly or as much. Plus you wont damage it when you use any chemicals to clean the unit down :) Love the content, have for years, the fabrication work you guys get up to is epic. Keep it going.
Get ahold of pudge in Harlan, Ia he does all pin striping by hand and will fly out to you.. great prices and great work all by hand he does semis race cars, tractors, combines, etc etc I think 40 years of pin striping. Keep up the good work guys love the content!!
So wondeful to see those big bois fired up again! And Big Buds too ;)
My favorite channel with running Big Buds.
I went to college in havre Montana back in 1985 and saw my first big bud tractor up close
I’m from Minnesota and moved back after college
Miss Montana and the great people that I met
I love that you guys have them love them and keep using them along with big brute
Lots of love to your family
Absolutely love your channel
Thanks so much for sharing your life with me and the rest of the world
Love and god bless you all
Every video you do brings me back to my college days
Thank you so much
Means alot to us, thanks and God bless!
Good luck boys. Hope you have all the fertilizer and rain you need with none of the hail
you guys should really make a waste oil heater for the shop. Im not sure fabrication would be the issue, maybe a low supply of waste oil...? haha.
It would keep the shop really comfortable on those chilly days
Love the videos, and all the work being done! Well done boys!
We usually use vinyl from our local sign shop as they can apply a clear layer and then we ceramic coat it.
scotch blue original painters tape to lay out the pin striping then paint on the pin stripes, you'll never have that issue again.
Great intro! Make the next even longer...the Welker winsome personalities make this channel always worth watching. Thank you men.
when you fired up the truck and the big buds, my office immediately filled with smoke and smelled until they drove outside
Thank you Bob for installing my new free app for awhile, call "Virtual Smell It All"!
Bob washing the ceiling reminded me of a bar in Northern Wisconsin. They had a suspended grid ceiling that was brown. A friend of mine asked the owner where he got the brown grid and tile. The owner replied that it was white when it was installed.
Red is always a pita for fading and cracking. It's the weakest color for UV resistance. As for removing the adhesive and old stripes, that's super easy. They make a decal/adhesive removing tool that strips that stuff right off super quickly but doesn't hurt the paint. You can find them at automotive paint and body supply places. They're often called erasers. You can get them for die grinders, drills, etc...
Heyyy, there they are again, the Buds! Wow, wow wow, Man they are unique. Sad they stand a lot of time useless in the barn. No earth to move in wintertime? Hmm, now we see Robert make the stuff shiny as new. I wish i could help you. Give you a hand. But i only have two myself. Succes with the rest of the 3000 square feet. All by yourself? Well, you don"t need to go to the gym after that. Save yourself from injuries in the arm muscles. One is enough. Soon wil be seeding time. then you need all muscles. Blessings!
👍
pin striping? paint brush and practise. do it the old school way and it will never crack and fall off. it'll be minimal supplies and your time. cheaper too as you'll only do it once until next repaint
For the red stripe just ask to a signage/wrapping shop to cut some stripes from 3m or Avery vinyl wrap. Should last at least 10 years
Sticker removal wheel. A rubber wheel available pretty much anywhere to get the old ones of super fast and easy without wrecking the paint.
I hope you guys have great year, god bless you and your family!
Thanks, God bless!
Love those seats!! Dang I be happy with the old seats you took out! Lol
Pfs out of Cali. DDE uses them. They could send you some . They are leading the film solution industry. Been watching you guys since the rebuilding.
Re: Pin Striping issue, I recommend you bring in a signwriter and have him mask it up and paint the Pin striping on.
I love the videos. But I have two things from this one. First, please, please, wear your safety glasses when using a grinder or wire brush. I often use a powered wire brush and just as often go home with wire bristles that have come out of the brush while in use stuck in my shirt and pants. And secondly, if you don't have a use for that fourth seat and don't want it sitting around getting dirty. I could put it to good use. Blessing.
it might be easier next time you put those bushings in by putting them in the freezer overnight. and the opposite for bearings. Put the bearing on a wood stove or in the oven and get them really hot. I saw this trick on the RUclips channel Fab rats. Great channel. been subscribed I think now for almost 5 years.
Hey Bob that ceiling is looking awesome! It’s amazing how a good cleaning can brighten up a shop.
Hey Nick, what about painting the pin stripes on?
You guys Rock, congrats on the new seats,I’m sure your butt an backs will appreciate it. May the good lord bring you the perfect amount of moisture an sun 🌞 to make your crops pop to there fullest.
As suggested in the comments 3M do make very good vinyl tapes. I would also recommend Avery as a brand too. We used them a lot in the signwriting industry.
Instead of using pin stripping material, just paint it on. The big bud is waiting on parts that would be a great time to do that. Leg Arms is such a great fabricator I wish I had half of his fabrication ability.
Amazon some "eraser wheels" to get that old striping and residue off. They work amazingly well!
God bless you Nick
If you have to go to all the hassle of removing the old pinstripe use a rubber eraser on a drill or angle grinder, they work great. Then I would just mask the lines up and rattle can paint them. That way if you have to later its easy to just touch them up.
Spray a layer of clear coat over it once you're done. It will help protect the paint too
The boys are out to play, hoping for a better season this year!! Please let Legarms in BEASTBINE!
Just very thankful RUclips is providing Source of income for y’all. Sorry this disable comfortable Not able to contribute. God bless
Don't know what it is about the Big Buds they just are just such an awesome looking tractors. If I was farming I would sooner have one of those than any of the new ones. They get the job done and the best part is you can work on them yourself. You guys do a great job of taking care of them.
Larry the cable guy would be proud of the sleeveless sweatshirt
always body shop striping by 3M and use a fairly thicker gauge nick. But 3m products are op notch. contact a decal maker shop or bussiness, if they in a good mood they may even costum cut you stirps to your size for cheeper. sure you have a decal service to do door decals ect? them guys is smart cookies about what the best for what aplications you are doing. hugs hopeing you all in good health and a safe safe spring seeding. waves hi to mr. welker. keep them boys in line laughs
Nicely done guys! For pinstriping, check out Great Lakes Skipper. They've got a bunch of factory close out boat/marine striping they sell by the roll
Big Buds in the shop. Can only mean one thing. Thank goodness spring is almost here!!
You can clean the pin strip with nail polish remover or lighter fluid it will clean the residue off and not hurt the paint as for strips paint them on it last allot longer vinyl strips 4-7 years if your lucky you have the strip layout easy to tape off for painting
Its crazy to have the wits to go in between the center of the big bud and even lay close to the wheels, I couldn't even go underneath a car.
Thank you all for everything you do for us. I'm saddened knowing y'all are going from a bad year into a year where fertilizer is in some instances +300% and on top of that diesel is over $5 a gallon. I'm praying for all of you farmers who put everything on the line so we have food every day.
It's a time we need farmers like the Welkers more than ever! Went to the local dollar store for something to scrub floors with, (no bleach, no spic-n-span, no mr clean, just empty shelves. But all is good right??) The Russia/Ukraine thing will have a huge impact on American farming. Praying the Welkers are able to make all the right planting decisions this season.
God bless all who understand where we're headed in this time.
God help all who can't see it...
Amen to the Welkers!!!
We would clear coat over our decals and stripping. You must make sure the pin stripping is compatible with the clear coat. It lasts for years on locomotives.
You guys are just a pleasure to watch. Love seeing your videos. All the best
I use 3 m products for striping and a rubber eraser wheel to get off glue and not harm paint.
Those BUDs are the coolest machines!
Use an eraser wheel on a drill to clean up the old pin striping and glue. Works like magic.
