Enjoy and we will enjoy watching the process! Little Ernest has grown up so fast! What a cutie!

    Hi Billy, you remind me of my grandpa, he was also a man of vision & work to create his passions with buildings & especially gardens, into reality. He told me once, "it's easy to buy something, but it takes passion to maintain it". He'd done that till his last breath. I understand the feeling that smtimes things happen during the work of maintaining such a vast properties et all., such as your machine in today's vlog. Been there, done that too. All will be better. Stay on the ground & just go on.
    Your videos have been my son's fave too, especially working with the heavy machinary & tools. Thank you. You, your fams, & your teams inspire him, how a responsible family man should also be a handy man on works, and vice versa. Those are the value of men we need nowadays 🍻

    I love seeing your Dad in videos with you. I guess because I miss my Dad and he was a hard worker as well. I bet he loves spending time with you doing all the restoration work. It's a good thing you are like your Dad and can get things done and work so hard as well. It really is amazing what you get done each day. So many repairs on the equipment you have purchased, it may benefit to buy new next time. Wouldn't it be awesome if a sponsor for that gave you some awesome new equipment, they would be smart to do that, because they would be in every video. Earnest is a keen little helper, so lovely to see!

    Could you have those planters outside the kitchen as a small kitchen garden. Herbs would do well in one of them. I don't remember if there's an entry at the opposite side of the building from the courtyard?
    Ernest is getting so big, so nice to see him with you. Enjoy your family get together.

  • @busterdee8228
    @busterdee8228 Год назад +34

    I think those universal joints are normal; they are supposed to be quite flexible, and are only stiff when brand new. Some 'rotational' slop would be more concerning and, if bad enough to make noise, would expell a rusty powder. If the mating shaft bearing is bad, it would weaken it's seal and leak lubricant. I hope you find the problem quickly--and without too much more cost. Thanks again for returning to the 'dailies.'

    The Telehandler issue sounds like the release bearing is gone in the gearbox. When the rattle goes away when you engage the clutch, is a pretty sure sign of it. Again, hopefully you got it sorted with that part. I end up commenting as I'm watching, so I could be wrong 😂😊
