    I enjoy you and Brent working together so much! I hope one day you will own your own Dairy Farm. I’m 74 years old and watch farmers now on RUclips from the state of Maine to the Midwest. I grew up on a small dairy farm and would have like being a dairy farmer. But these days most small dairy farms are a thing of the past here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. I still have farm friends, having big dairy farms milking upward of 700 head. Your a great young lady, keep up the good work and blessing to you your family and Brent.

    Good morning Taylor from a snowy Wisconsin. I see that most of your snow has already melted. I think that if more small farmers followed Brent’s farming practices more of them would stay in business. Repair, maintenance, and taking care of your cows, and hiring someone named Taylor is a great way to run a farm. Thanks for another interesting and I informative video. Keep farming. Stay healthy and may God bless you and Brent. 🚜🐄👋

      I really admire the way that the animals are cared for. The saying for many years has been go big or go broke, but going big makes one a slave to the bank. Common sense--keeping the outputs as low as possible and taking care of the animals seems to be a less stressful route. The bigger the operation--the more headaches to maintain it!

    So so happy to see that worked out at least temporarily, I hope it lasts a few seasons. May not be how others would have done it but you got it fixed and hopefully it lasts all next year. Really wish I was there to give you guys a high 5 for it working.
    I hope you and your family and friends all had a great Thanksgiving also Tay.
    I am sure I am not the only one that suggested welding it if it was shot, but it is nice to see when a suggestion does help you.
    I really enjoy your videos and thank you for taking the time to make your videos. We got snow Sunday, and it is still sticking around.
    I hope you get our snow so you can go sledding on the snowmobiles, I have not gone for a few years and do not want deep snow. Stay safe and healthy Tay.

    Two items in this video summarize what is important on the dairy farm and why we love working with cattle: the gentle care of the cows then the road dirt on the pickup. The pickup is expensive and is dirty from getting us from here to there - but the true pride in our work comes from caring for cattle.

  • @felixgrave1746
    @felixgrave1746 Год назад +9

    Hey Taylor
    Maybe the Nut was mounted with some Loctite to "glue" the Nut on the Threads from the Factory? The Heat from the Mecanic made the Loctite weak? The Torque from starting the Mower maybe was enough to break it lose?
    Nice vid again👍
    Maybe next time do only a small Spotweld so yo can grind in of again, if you ever need to change Bearings🤔

    The other thing you could use in warmer months would be locktite... Blue is ment to beable to break with hand force, red requires heat to break. Use it in gun smithing quite a lot. Should work here to... Take a few minutes to set.

    If a nut on that machine becomes loose, explore using a locknut or self-locking nut. They are readily available at McMaster-Carr in a range of sizes. Putting Loctite on a thread could make future removal quiet difficult.

    Hi Lady Tay, that was great news on the mower by savings lots of bucks with the welding. I hope it continues to work and not just kicking the bucket down the road so to speak. You and Brent surely must be thick skinned because you are always outside working in the extreme cold temps and appear to not mind it all. I wouldn’t survive without wearing an Alaskan Parka.
    Thanks again for your great video. I often wonder approximately how many hours of video do you shoot before you edit it down to what you actually post. I would bet it’s quite a lot.
    Have a wonderful week. Please stay warm and safe. Drink your share of coffee and above all take care. Thank You for sharing your life with us.

  • @kalbfleisch61

    Hi Taylor. Glad to see your a FORD F150 girl. What year is your I had a gray 2013 and then a 15 the same color as your. Then reddish brown/ black 18 that changed colors it was called something? Red magenta. Depending on the light sometimes it looked dark purple. Now driving a 2021 F 150 Lariat that is called Kodiak Brown but it too looks different colors depending on which way the light hits it. If you can’t tell I have leased all of them but I just bought the 21 out right when the lease was up. When looking at the new ones to lease the payments wer3 at least $150-$200 dollars more per month for a truck with no options to speak of and it had the smaller motor so it was a no brainer to just buy the 21 out right it only has 27000 miles and I know how well it was taken care of some of these guys that lease tend to not care how they drive or how much more weight they haul or tow with it because oh well it’s getting traded in in 2-3 years so if the engine or transmission goes out they don’t care it’s the next guys problem or if it happens to them it’s covered by warranty so drive the heck out of it. I baby mine Keep the videos coming. I love watching them. Ps the 3.5 twin turbo eco boost has been a good engine lots of towing power and torque I have had 3 of them and all have been very good as well as the 5.0 engine which is a 302 cubic inch v8 vs the 3.5 v6

    Hi Taylor! Glad you were able to get that nut to hang on!! My dad was the type that never put away tools. Whenever he worked on something you could depend on a supply tools too bee left behind. Makes me think about you leaving the rag and spray can on the ground when you were looking for the wrench and hammer. You were heading to the shop any way!! Liked your comment on "mowing in the snow." "This is wrong."

  • @stevecobb7844
    @stevecobb7844 Год назад +4

    I wonder if your mower issue could be caused by the over running clutch not working.
    Maybe when you stop the PTO it comes to a dead stop and jars the nut loose.
    Calling the manufacturer for tech support might get some answers.

  • @duanebolen543

    The heat from the welding may have caused the loctite to breakdown. Try applying fresh locktite to keep the nut from turning.

  • @RandyHunt19
    @RandyHunt19 7 месяцев назад

    Use red locktite on the threads (clean threads first) and let it dry for a day it will never loosen off. You can buy that at any NAPA store or auto store. Get a socket to fit your dewalt impact that will tighten it up way more than a pipe wrench! Also buy a vice for your shop will be a great asset.

    When welding dissimilar metals or high strength metals always use 7018. 7018 does a better job when using it. Remember you have to keep it heated to keep moisture out of it. It is called lohi for a reason. Lo hi means low hydrogen. Thus why you must keep it heated to keep moisture out. One keeps it in its own box with a incandescent light bulb inside to keep it heated. Your rod is too thick for your minimal skills.
