@@medaugh it was like eating vegetables, I know it was good for me but I knew I there was something tastier. I'll be more appreciative when I change a pressurized valve I am sure. It was pretty slick, it gave me the courage to attempt a hot swap. Jon will douse himself soon enough for our viewing pleasure between the boat and dam videos it will happen.
This is an old and well known trick among plumbers. There are situations when you need to plug a pipe under pressure, then screwing on the open valve greatly speeds up and makes the task easier.
Some folks think being a farmer or rancher is just herding cows, and draging a plow behind a tractor. Ha!. I'm glad you show more of what it's really like. Rewarding to those of us that are self motivated enough to do it. Never a dull moment. Thanks Jon.
i would love to do this. plenty motivated, no way on earth i could ever afford a piece of dirt though. combination of luck and hard work...like everything else i suppose.
So I'm a retired hairstylist 44 years. Bought a small ranch with two fine adobe homes, one for us, one for the daughters. Didnt take me three days till I truly found out I was Mr Douglas of Green Acres fame. Seems like every Goshdarn thing that could break, DID!!! Still, I wouldn't trade it for the World. Peace, quiet, animals, all depend on me to keep things running. I got purpose again. Blessings Brother.
Hes a jack of all trades. He's not afraid to take on anything. And can get the job done. He's done leather work, old and newer heavy machinery,Automotive,Logging,Sawmilling,Wood working,Hydraulic work,Large scale land development,Cattle farming. The list I'm sure could keep going. He's definitely a busy and smart dude. I enjoy his videos.
This channel deserves a million + subs, I've been watching for awhile. this guy can tackle anything thrown his way. He also explains what he's doing the whole way. Great videos!
Well, I wasn't going to call him on it, but since you did ... for those who don't know, a spokeshave has a replaceable blade, sort of a cross-handled hand plane. Can have different sole plates for different final shapes. Being handy with a draw knife is plenty good for farm tools. Spokeshaves would be for finer, destined for in the house, furniture work.
I really enjoy the big equipment repair you do, but these assorted smaller repair jobs are great to watch also.......keep em comming, I'll watch NJ o matter what it is!
Didn't he just replace a valve to stop the hydraulic fluid from leaking out into the ground??? I guess the wheel barrow isn't hydraulic......just dead tree carcass and nasty rusted steel.
Another great educational video, being a farmer is not just about looking after animals and growing crops, you need to learn how to fix anything and everything that needs fixing, and your good at that. One tip I've learnt is that when you putting ptf tape around the threads, undo the roll backwards , so that the outer part of the tape is nearest the thread, it will automatically keep the tape tight when your putting it on, Great viewing again, can't wait for next Friday.
As a farmer, you should buy the extra/spare seal kits when you buy a new hydrant. I do it, just because they always go bad at the worst times. Now, when you figure out how to keep the extras somewhere you can find them quickly, make a video on that, PLEASE. ;)
I know a couple cattle people and knew a well driller before he passed. I was told by both do not buy big box store hydrants they aren't built as well and don't last as long. But I should take a look at what brand he put in and check on a seal I knew they were pretty simple though just never had to take one apart. Also the slow mo stroke ☠️😂
I look forward to your videos every week. It’s my little bit of uninterrupted me time. Doesn’t matter what you do, I find your way of working fascinating and I’ve learned loads by watching you. Thanks Jon, keep up the great work.
lol at that plumbing job with all the joints. Really made me feel more like "I'm not the only one" who has these type of problems when doing a job. Nothing's easy, Jon.
Ran a construction company, we had 8 wheelbarrows. Used to make 20 sets of handles at a time. None ever rotted. But the men that used them were really hard on them. Shovel handles by the dozen always broke them too.
Watching you dig that waterline out brought back memories. I used to be a faultsman jointer for telecoms, and i've lost count of how many buried cables/joints etc i've had to track and locate over the years to fix, digging on spots only to find i'm off by a few feet, or worse that i'm a mile off due to false readings...... I don't miss that...:)
you're the best Jon! love going back and re-watching older videos. thanks. now some back seat driving: always cover any hole you are working over or near, or learn like most of us did the hard way. Murphy's law! cheers
I look forward to your videos every week.- At around 20.54 the electric cable should have a caution tape above it. I used to teach the code before retiring. thanks again for sharing your work with us 🙂
Hi john them 1/4 turn ball valves are no good in cold conditions, when closet or throttled down the water in the valve will expand and crack the valve , drill a 1/8 " hole through one side of the valve (non pressure side) Great videos Dave Adams
Put some boiled linseed oil on those handles instead jon! Thanks for taking the time to teach us btw! Great job on the wheelbarrow, love when you throw some woodworking in your vids like when you did the base for those pillars on your old farm house. Love that old drawknife looks like its served you well, that drill press too lol 😂
I also changed the plunger from the top without digging it out. I had to blow it out with air pressure. I did have the top assembly off, but that was your problem to start with.
I grew up on a small (80 acre) crop farm in Wisconsin. I know work is never done on a farm. There is always something that has to be done or needs fixing. Love your videos. Always great content.
Just a tip when using teflon tape if you don´t know already. If you unwind the roller from the bottom the tape does not unwind as you roll it on and it is easier to keep tension around the threads in my opinion.
Absolutely love watching your videos Jon. Currently re-watching your recent pond install series. Really inspirational and interesting. Keep 'em coming mate!!
i swear you have the most entertaining channel on YT, you always end up with the worst of the worst lol its like a bad omen following you lol that boat job was crazy
This is one of my favorites too, another that I find equally as informative and entertaining regarding repair work is Mustie1 - he mainly does engines, some bodywork, mechanical parts in vehicles, and a variety of other things in his workshop.
A couple of tricks to use with your Teflon tape (plumber here) - if you unroll the tape from the other side it will only unroll what you need - in tight places like the hole in the ground you can wrap what you think you will need around a screwdriver and use that to install the Teflon on the fitting. Hope this helps
Played that game....the pipe actually deteriorates and splits...you repair the split, but the split then just pops up further along....love the change the tap,but too far to turn off,so relatable....love your channel, can't do a lot of these things anymore,but can just watch you from my chair...enjoy these things while you can.
FOR TIGHT SPOT S WITH THE TEFLON TAPE, WRAP ENOUGH TEFLON TAPE AROUND A DOWEL OR SOMETHING THE DIAMETER OF A PENCIL AND PLACING ON THE END OF THE THREADS BECOMES VERY EASY
Was sitting here hollering at my phone “Open the valve, it will be easier to take off and put on” 🤣. Been there before, one of those things you don’t think about right away. A Duh moment. No surprise the wheep hole failed on that spigot. We’ve got fire hydrants in town with failing wheep holes. Turn that bad boy on and water comes boiling out of the ground around the hydrant. What you have is considered a “Dry Hydrant” set up.
I replaced a water hydrant once, but my local hardware store suggested I also buy a small 90 degree elbow to be insert in the bottom of the weep hole. This would make it so when the water drains out it goes straight down as opposed to just coming out the side. So far so good. It has been 5 years. No issues. P.S. Always love your videos. My wife likes them too.
Google must be reading minds now. I was just thinking about hydrants last night .We will be installing a well at the new property and running the water to a hydrant , so we can use the water at the offgrid cabin before the new house is built . Great video.
We have lots of 2” poly pipe with screw on compression joiners going to 12 water troughs for our horses. Much easier to repair with no Jubilee clamps required. But it’s always a challenge trying to find a split somewhere in a mile of pipes! Great work Jon.
"Everything seems like it's just on a timer until it breaks"... dude, no truer words have ever been spoken. Same thing goes for non-breaking things. It doesn't feel like there's a finish line, just a continual stream of things going wrong, or ending up as surprises :P.
Hey John, you should fabricate a plate to put over the teeth on your excavator shovel, for jobs like finder the water hose. That would be a fun diy video too. Thanks for great content and have a nice weekend.
That valve on the waterer brought back a memory for me. I was working in a plant and a gate valve for cooling water to a machine failed. The gate came off of the stem and stayed in the closed position. We were all about keeping the process lines running and I took the top off the valve. Tapped it a couple of times and the gate flew out, followed by quite a flow of water at about 80 psi. No way I could get the top back on, as it built pressure when the top got close to the body. My coworkers and I were drenched. Eventually, I went and found a piece of flat bar, a piece of rubber, and a c-clamp. We eventually got the rubber and flat bar clamped to the open top of the valve to stop the leak. What a night!
Jon, NOPE! My family had a dairy farm with 100 head that were hand milked x2day 7 days/week. All of the cousins were "voluntold" for the summer as farm labor. Thanx, I already know and appreciate how hard farming is.
Hi John, Instead of using the Hydrant in the Winter for the cattle, You could just install a Tee underground and a Shut Off underground and pipe up to where you need it. That way you still have Water Hydrant for temporary use, but have a secure way in winter to water the cattle. For the Underground Valve, you could use a plastic enclosure like used for a sprinkler system, that has a lid on it.
Thanks for lowering the volume during the times that the machines are operating. I wish other editors would learn how to to that in post. Another great example of viewer friendliness is shooting welding scenes through a welder's mask. Real easy on our eyes out here!
If you apply the teflon tape from the outside of the tape instead of the inside you keep tension on it and you don't need to roll it up constantly. I do enjoy your videos.
I just love fixing stuff and this video is strangely amazing. Just watching you go about fixing random stuff, I love it! Spent a summer one time as a lonely janitor for a smaller soccer club. Among the best summers of my life! Figuring out how to drive a Massey Ferguson from the seventies, understand the sprinkler systems and doing maintenance on them. Heck, I even fixed their outdoor chairs for them and restored their broken small mover! Sadly, they couldn't afford to keep me. And, well, I couldn't afford to work for free. EDIT:Even got stung from a wasp for the first time in my life that summer! Been afraid of anything that can sting me my whole life. Wasn't nearly as bad as it could be since I hardly got swollen so I got out of it all right.
I feel your pain with repairing water lines someone else put in! Two amazing things I've learned - Always use 200psi or higher black polly if you can (usualy the big box stores only carry 180, but any plumber supply should have 200). The second is; always use brass Ts and couplers and two stainless hose clamps on each barb section!
If you have to dig up that pipe again someday if it bursts in the winter again, try putting some foam board right over it and bury it, that'll keep it from freezing by letting the warmth lower in the ground keep it above freezing and somewhat mitigate the frost coming down from above.
Always look forward to your videos on Saturday morning here in Aus. Your trouble shooting and farm craft are second to none. This is another comment for the algorithm. PS I would have bought a new wheelbarrow. 😂😂 Enjoy all the success.
I am so very impressed with your editing and photography. Not sure if you get paid for this stuff, but I think you should. Every posting is professionally done.
It’s always best to backfill plastic piping with screenings, it helps to surround the pipe with a good bedding, and protecting it from any gouging; like a bigger stone would such as 2-B
Say this is what I love about the farm crafts 101 or better known as The Farmer John channel LOL. I'm laughing with you brother because I've done every single one of those things at one part of my life, oh God how I hate that black poly pipe. I remember that stuff from the days of doing irrigation in South Florida, it was the absolute worst. But even a better example of worst poly pipe is when they used quarter inch as a hydraulic line for all the timers on golf courses and wherever big projects. And people would dig without finding out where stuff was located and you can imagine putting a quarter inch coupling in one of those lines and trying to get enough pressure to operate the valves from the clock. Anyway my friend many blessings to you and your family keep up the great videos.
That opening of the valve before twisting added educational value at the cost of entertainment value. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet
Yes, I feel somewhat robbed.
@@medaugh it was like eating vegetables, I know it was good for me but I knew I there was something tastier. I'll be more appreciative when I change a pressurized valve I am sure.

You did move the landlines phone off the pole ? Cellphones are a convenient thing.

Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Great Job ❤❤❤❤❤
that spokeshave looks a awful lot like a drawknife ;)
nice video!
Well I'll be. I've been calling it the wrong thing... Doh!
It only looks that way because it is . But who cares? We get the gist.🍻
Well, I wasn't going to call him on it, but since you did ... for those who don't know, a spokeshave has a replaceable blade, sort of a cross-handled hand plane.

Drawknife is spokeshave's older, burlier brother that went to trade school.
Did anyone else expect to hear an Eastern accent from This Old House, when he was cutting down those handles?
I really enjoy the big equipment repair you do, but these assorted smaller repair jobs are great to watch also.......keep em comming, I'll watch NJ o matter what it is!
Just found the channel recommended by a friend. I live on a small farm and am trying to learn how to work smarter. Great video.
Not everything is a hydraulic repair on Farmcraft, I learned something today 😊

lol at that plumbing job with all the joints. Really made me feel more like "I'm not the only one" who has these type of problems when doing a job. Nothing's easy, Jon.
Hey Jon! Great to learn about the hydrant so I know when mine has issues. Loved the comment about finding a hole in the dark..😂
I just bought a new house that has a few of those same hydrants, one of them leaks, now I know how to fix it, thanks. :)

I love how the first fail/leak teaches me when, hoe and why to double clamp it! Love your channel John. You are a hero good sir.
When I put in my frost-free hydrant 20 years ago, I put plastic on top of the drainage rock to keep the silt from pluging it up.
I also changed the plunger from the top without digging it out. I had to blow it out with air pressure. I did have the top assembly off, but that was your problem to start with.
These farm repairs and routine Fixes Are some of my favorite videos Jon 11:58 @FarmCraft101

Nicely handle John. I can appreciate the shout out to Curtis from cutting edge 😂
there's nothing you can't fix amazing man your one smart guy.
This video brings back lots of memories of having to maintain my property.
Thanks John, I learned something new about those water faucets. I noticed Dozer is getting a little bigger and looking like a good farm dog. 👍🐕
My wife and I were screaming "open the valve!!!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great episode as always❤
Thank you👌
I'm always excited when I see your videos on Friday :)
Im buying two calfs next year. This video is right in time.
Thank you for showing the little jobs too.
Interesting Hydrant Jon very simple Design 34:58 @FarmCraft101
The old hydrant would make someone else a very fine objet d’art for their yard. Do not surprise the Mrs. with this in your yard!

Just a tip when using teflon tape if you don´t know already. If you unwind the roller from the bottom the tape does not unwind as you roll it on and it is easier to keep tension around the threads in my opinion.
Yup. Outside of the tape goes against the threads you're taping. Automatic tensioning. 😊
Absolutely love watching your videos Jon. Currently re-watching your recent pond install series. Really inspirational and interesting. Keep 'em coming mate!!

Very nice redoing the barrow at the end. I love to see a little woodwork, one of my favorite chores when it comes up.
At least you remembered to take an empty roll of PTFE tape 🤣 A nice change of pace from the usual video's just just as entertaining 👍
John, You are a talented gentleman farmer.
I've said it before but I'll say it again.... I love the randomness of this channel. 👍
Great video as always! Can’t wait to get my own piece of property to justify all the tools I’ve crammed in my garage🤣🤣🤣
Was going to make a witty comment about all those hose clamps to add to your stash , then you went and used them all again ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
A couple of tricks to use with your Teflon tape (plumber here)
- if you unroll the tape from the other side it will only unroll what you need
- in tight places like the hole in the ground you can wrap what you think you will need around a screwdriver and use that to install the Teflon on the fitting.

John , when applying Thread tape turn to spool over so the tape stays tight and easier to apply .UK Plumber
Thanks Jon.... Really enjoy the honest hard work
FOR TIGHT SPOT S WITH THE TEFLON TAPE, WRAP ENOUGH TEFLON TAPE AROUND A DOWEL OR SOMETHING THE DIAMETER OF A PENCIL AND PLACING ON THE END OF THE THREADS BECOMES VERY EASY

We have lots of 2” poly pipe with screw on compression joiners going to 12 water troughs for our horses. Much easier to repair with no Jubilee clamps required. But it’s always a challenge trying to find a split somewhere in a mile of pipes! Great work Jon.

I always put a 1/4" elbow in drain hole on hydrant - pointing down. Less chance of that perfect size pebble blocking it.
Awesome video! The wrath of the infini clamps!
Thanks for doing the dual conversion for temperature. We in the antipodes follow the jolly ol' chaps from the homeland.
You my friend must have Inuit roots, your troubles with seals is legendary!
Was not expecting the 'trad dad' moment!
Trad is rad!
I recommend using sand when backfilling around pipes. I’ve seen too many plastic pipes break because of a rock resting against it.
That valve on the waterer brought back a memory for me. I was working in a plant and a gate valve for cooling water to a machine failed. The gate came off of the stem and stayed in the closed position. We were all about keeping the process lines running and I took the top off the valve.

Nice job on that wheelbarrow Jon! An Okie living in Germany , I love the work you do!!
great video John, a plumbers tip for your ptfe tape, flip the roll as you have more control, your driving it instead of it running away from you
The video was going along so well until the end and the rocks. Natural selection comes so easy to some.
Jon, Thanks for the insight into a day on the farm! Hydrant is simply ingenious!
A man of many talents! Sprinkle on some trad climbing at the end there 😂
If you apply the teflon tape from the outside of the tape instead of the inside you keep tension on it and you don't need to roll it up constantly.

I feel your pain with repairing water lines someone else put in! Two amazing things I've learned - Always use 200psi or higher black polly if you can (usualy the big box stores only carry 180, but any plumber supply should have 200).

Say this is what I love about the farm crafts 101 or better known as The Farmer John channel LOL. I'm laughing with you brother because I've done every single one of those things at one part of my life, oh God how I hate that black poly pipe. I remember that stuff from the days of doing irrigation in South Florida, it was the absolute worst. But even a better example of worst poly pipe is when they used quarter inch as a hydraulic line for all the timers on golf courses and wherever big projects. And people would dig without finding out where stuff was located and you can imagine putting a quarter inch coupling in one of those lines and trying to get enough pressure to operate the valves from the clock. Anyway my friend many blessings to you and your family keep up the great videos.
As always, another great video Jon. Enjoyed it. Have a great weekend, see you next week.
