More Iron

[Music] well 40 20 is in primer right now and we've got a mess of water on the floor but it is what it is so we've got the rolls all on this unit and now we have to put the scraper bars on and we've got to flip all of the um teeth the tips rather on the end of the spring too another thing that we have that we've got to work on we've got these brackets here this hinge bracket is starting to egg out on this front hinge it's not doing it on the back but it's getting all the torque from the cylinder that folds up the wing so we're going to pop this pin out and we're going to well the plate on there put longer pins in that side there isn't wore out as bad as the uh left side so this left side is wore out pretty good so um we're gonna get working on that we've got a bent spring tooth bar holder right there and then once we get it folded up we're gonna pull the wheels off of it and um check the wheel bearings there is some slop in them they need tightened up and um repacked with some fresh grease ah yeah it's not really going to be any easier with it folded up to put them on then it is too uh we just got to dig them out of there we could work on them right now actually with it unfolded what they have done is they've taken these scraper paddles pieces rather you may have flipped them over so we're going to get one more use out of them [Music] so so which [Music] so [Music] all right we're closing in on this roll of harold we're doing a lot of screwing around here kerr is making himself up a template right now so that we can cut the pieces that i drilled to match what we need on the roll of harrow here on the on the main frame this side here wasn't as bad as the left side the left side was egged out pretty good it would probably last a long time we'll show you what the pins look like that we took out of that but that's what that hole looks like right there and as things get egged out it actually has more of a chance of breaking something because it's over exerting itself so we've got an oil leak it looks like right there the boys went ahead and pulled all the wheel hub assemblies apart repack them with grease just trying to think what else they've got the tips done got some teeth that they had to put on here they've got to get another one right there they must have forgot about that one and they've got the uh scraper bar on the back here jaden you got a tooth that you can put on over there you forget already you forgot yeah i did forget a little bit you forgot um we had a hell of a time with this roll hero being that it was wore out we kept breaking these scraper bars off because there was so much play in the wheels that they were running back and forth getting caught in these uh scrapers so what we did being at their war we ended up just flipping them over you can see this back row here on this uh left side is uh you know they're really wore off but you could just flip them and then we've got about 3 8 of an inch to a half an inch gap there and that back wheel assembly here when you're into moist soil they'll get all packed in so the boys for the merger [Music] so this is the material we're using we've got four holes drilled in this plate here welded into place these are the old pins that came out this was the pin that was in the right inside this one's not wore that much but the one that was on the left because there was so much play in it it was really getting after the fin and probably after a while this pin would have broke and it would have broke with the wing about straight up in the air and then that would have come crashing down breaking everything so he's making pictures here making pictures for me and jared is putting some bondo on the 40 20 thunder i know it should be against the law using that stuff but we're gonna do it anyways don't tell anybody this stuff is the best when you when it hardens and you start to grind it down and smooth it and get it in uh that's a fun job with an articulator [Music] [Music] andrew going to be able to drive the power shift ah andrew we're going to be able to drive a power shift yeah all right we got this one side here welded and now what i've got to do is i've got to drill holes in the ends of the pen so that we can get it held in a rope and he's got a well done other side yet just getting done we're working on this ford next door and the guys are starting to put the merger back together here and what they're doing is putting new bearings on all of the uh tooth bars we've got a pile more pile of parts here so these are the cam flower tracks here a bunch of shafts we've got bearings here for all the tooth bars we've got boxes of them they're here and there we got bolts we got yeah just a mess of crap here now jason worked on this thing here and i don't know it doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you have but if anybody owned this ford truck they would never own another one this thing is the biggest piece of crap we've ever owned we put an alternator and uh battery in this here today and what else did you do crank position yeah but this thing is just a pile of crap and uh we bought a chevy uh farm truck and we went to chevy because this thing is just such a pile of trash but this was the old uh never idol fire department rescue uh truck i only had like 20 000 miles out of where we bought it it's just a pilot crap so yeah you need something to do this guy's second day on the job broke his hand a while ago and uh we're working him now right bob oh yeah [Music] all right jared's blowing all the bondo off himself and he has his fenders he's been shaking him up a little bit he put a little bit of a pack on here put some bondo in on he's got this one all packed in and some rough holes here the trouble with these things is they're all stamped material and then they got a heavy point in right here and it just spilled they were rough these these are aftermarket fenders they haven't been on there that long but um they usually get water down in here and then what happens is as the crap gets in it can't get out the bottom and uh they end up rusting up on you you got the bracket that stuffs in here at just a these are probably made over in frickin india or something so but they are what they are and the original john deere fenders are just a lot of money and you could tell an aftermarket under the bend right here is not the same but yeah i don't know i guess these ain't too bad but we're gonna paint them up we're gonna make them look like factory new and they're gonna serve their purpose all right kerr has this all welded up here and we ended up drilling some holes in our pins here and then we're just gonna slide that in there now we got a poundless roll pin in this other side and then this is gonna do it for this unit here we'll be able to pull it outside and we're going to back that other one in here and get the snow melting off of it and then we'll do everything to that one that we ended up doing to this one this is the older one of the two and i'm hoping that we don't have to reinforce this hinge here but um if we do have to do it we've got enough material to uh reinforce that other one as well all right so we've got all the uh work done on this roll of harrell we call it a roll of harrow it's probably called a cultimulture depending on where you're from we ended up replacing all the wheels there's a hundred and seventy seven wheels i believe on this one how many wheels on this seven 22 times seven 154 and 23. 177. it's 177 wheels on this and judging by the paperwork says these wheels weigh i think 30 pounds each replaced all the bearings on the roller shafts new tubes that go inside the rollers they flipped all the tips had to replace some teeth here and there the boys ended up pulling the wheel bearing assemblies apart repacking the bearings tightening them up kerr ended up beefing up this hinge point on the left wing and the right wing we've got new pins and whatever in there i had to replace a taillight lens i think that's going to about do it for this one and we're going to pull the other one inside here momentarily so this is the older unit of the two and they're both identical to each other they're both 30 feet wide and they were they were wore out so we're gonna back the tractor in hook on pull this one out we'll back the other one in let it get thawed out in the morning we'll have to pull it back out this guy here is going to squeegee the floor off because it's got some snow on it yet so that we're not working in puddles here and uh yeah so we're gonna get to it here so [Music] so so all right we'll park that there for now and then we're gonna walk over and uh we'll take a glance at this one for a second but we'll look at it a little better once it's inside they've got it hooked to the 8320 it doesn't look like this one's got all that much snow on it this one was froze to the ground but things have gotten a little warmer here and uh this one is all right but boy and a bearing gone right there yeah [Music] all right this is what we're working on today we've started the work on the second roll of harrell this is the newer one of the two that we own they're both identical however this one is a few years newer this one's seven years old we don't have to rebuild this hinge joint like we did on the other one however this one's going to need a new couple of new tires basically doing the same thing we're putting all new wheels on it new arbor shafts and new bearings we have a few more scrapers to do on this one then what we had to do on the other one all of the bearings have been taken off of the end of the roller assemblies and we're going to be getting underway here in a little while pulling these gangs apart and installing new wheels there's 177 wheels on these roll harrells all together now this roll of harrow here when we bought this we ended up buying this in pieces it was shipped to the dealer in a crate we went picked it up we put this one together ourselves the last one the other one that we worked on we bought that one all put together and the damn uh the first day we used it the front gangs fell out of it because these bearings weren't put on tight enough and we had a lot of other loose parts and whatever on that other roll of harrow so we figured we bought this one we would try to get some money knocked off on it and we figured we would put it together ourselves so that's what we did we had to hook up all the hoses to it oh you've had to put cylinders on all the teeth you name it it was in pieces so the boys are going to be back in here in a little while we're going to get started on this they've got parts for the merger that they're working on i am putting together the cam follower tracks for the uh head on the merger um we'll show you how that goes together here in a minute uh this one is the better one of the three on this particular machine uh the pickup head teeth follow this track here and it it moves the tooth bars in an orientation that they need to be to pick up the crop and dump it off on the uh belt of the machine the conveyor belt so i can run it to one side or the other to make a larger windrow so we'll go over and show you what uh where they get mounted on the machine here and we'll show you the cam follower track that is really wore um on that center head it's just about paper thin right here this one is in decent shape however we're this far so we might as well put new ones on it so these here are pretty simple to put together there's a bearing that you put in on each side of the [Music] cast track or cast cam follower track here there's a bearing then there is a fixed spacer a snap ring to hold the bearing in and then we'll get the shaft itself in there and that's got a couple of snap rings that's on it as well we'll drop this snap ring in here then we'll flip it over [Music] i have a hole in the bench because i what i use this bench for is a um magnetic um magnetic uh drill press and when i drill material off the side of the bench i end up using this side and i can drill whatever i'm drilling and i can run the drill right down through the uh bench itself these little snap rings can be a little bit of a booger but they're manageable so [Music] so [Music] so uh [Music] [Music] [Music] oh almost forgot my thick washer and that's all there is to that so we've got two more to rebuild for uh this merger and then we'll go ahead and put the other three together for the other one so we have this head all in pieces here the cam follower tracks they run in the center and then the tooth bars follow that track so it can pick the crop up and as the tines are going back they roll out of the way and then they come back into play when they uh pick the crop up now we're already done with these three pieces uh for this this merger here these are the drum tooth bar assemblies here there's six tooth bars on each drum and then there's a cam follower bearing this is the bearing that runs inside the cam follower track this cam follower track here is it this one yeah this one here is really war you can see that it is just it's got a lot of acres on it so it's war right back here to the point that it probably wouldn't have only done a few hundred more acres and it would have been dropping the uh cam follower roller which is right here this follows this track like this and it comes around and then it's moving the teeth up and down and back and forth now we've got two of these mergers this is the 34 footer this is the newer one of the two the other one is a 30 footer and it's using basically all these same parts however instead of it having four longer drums here it's got six of them that are this side here now we ended up replacing the bearings that the tooth bars uh go on to start the yeah and um it was just uh uh the time to do it is is now here are the the replacement bearings here that go on the actual tooth bar itself and then we've got a pile of bearings here somewhere these ones right here these are the cam follower bearing and they go on the uh end of the tooth bars here you can see the difference in between the new one here and the old one this old one is wore down and it's taking that rounded edge right off of it and it's running that sharp bearing wheel around there and then that's what's eating up the cast cam follower track so we've got one there one on the bench and this the worst one is right here and this one was the center one of course the center head is going to get more use than the outside heads and that's why that one is war as much as it is now we replace the bearings inside and we replace the shaft because the hex part of the center drive of that hub works on this here and then usually what happens is you round that off and then the shaft is no good and you're having to tear the whole thing apart in order to get into uh that shaft assembly so we're gonna keep at it here the boys are uncovering bulk right now they're gonna be in here in a little while and uh we're gonna get a couple of teams working here today one on this one on the roll of harrell and then we've got a truck to bring in and uh we're gonna work on that now the 40 20 here we didn't get uh yellows done on it but we're ready to do that here in just a little while uh we'll probably actually wait till the end of the day so that we're not gassing everybody out here but we've got everything in primer and jared's got the uh axles covered up we're gonna paint them a flat black but um yeah it's uh it's ready to go here for some paint we'll do yellows tonight and greens tomorrow all right we've got this one just about all completely disassembled we got a bucket load of roll wheels outside and then these are the last of them here and then we'll show you what a new one looks like up alongside a old one here so there is the difference right there this one's actually bad hello quite a bit right there so we're still waiting for some parts for this merger tim has gone after them and the boys are working on this little volvo they're putting a new trumpet on there and in order to put this new air horn on there they had to take the whole freaking cab apart so they're getting that all fastened down they'll have that on there in a little bit of a minute and jared is working on putting the exhaust back together this truck here used to be a road tractor at one time and it would have had the exhaust pipe up alongside the cab but since it's got this little five yard box on there it's got a exhaust pipe that's alongside the frame there and she's running it downstairs so he's kind of cobbing everything together here but it is what it is looks like we need a a tire right here so we'll have to get that replaced as well so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] the muffler job is just about done jared's a little frustrated this thing was cobbed together when it was converted from a road tractor to a um [Music] little dump truck here and they had that vertical muffler in there like that [Music] and he kind of had to retrofit the bracket couldn't get the same style muffler that was on it from when they converted it over from a road tractor to a little dump truck here so looks like it's going to work though huh [Music] we ended up doing new exhaust from the turbo right on back and then the pipe that they're fighting with right now goes in and around and above the fuel tank [Music] that come back is they got the new horn on here and what had happened was is the welds broke loose on this cab shield here and the damn cab shield came down on top of the horn and it broke it that's a decent sounding horn [Music] probably sound better if there was a pair of them on there but it's only got a single one so that's what it is [Music] all right we also get this roll of arrow here back together we were like 47 short um the amount of wheels that they sent us we've got charged for however we just lack that many wheels we've got three games left to do here so one of the guys went to white's farm supply to pick up the wheels that we lack and the other guys are doing other things right now we're getting ready to do the yellow paint here on the 40-20 so [Music] so [Music] well we got the rest of our wheels here fitzy just got back just a little while ago and they're putting the last two arbors together right now doesn't go too bad these wheels are 67 apiece some of the wheels we have to hammer them on there's on the center of these wheels there's a little fat left over from when they came out of the mold and sometimes you get a batch of them that have to be hammered on just to knock that crap off of there these are center rolls center wheels and these here are end ones and we have to do the same to these we actually have to grind a little bit of this edge off so that it'll fit down over that arbor shaft these arbor shafts they're a four inch piece of pipe and they have the end pressed into them and when it presses in it actually balloons it out right here a little bit so every once in a while you get i don't know if these wheels are the end of the run when they don't go on like that or what but these are right from the foundry done up specifically for landau now brilliant was a company all by itself years ago landau was making a roll of harrow too and it was a little different than the brilliant one here now landau has bought the brilliant company and they actually make these in the brilliant name and uh the landau name years ago we had a land all roll a herald that was yellow and now they have started making all their equipment blue prior to running the brilliant role of harrows we used to have an old 950 john deere that was 16 foot wide and uh that had slightly smaller rolls on it and actually pulled harder than these roll harrows here which have a larger wheel to them so they've gotten about as many wheels as they want to get on there and now they're just going to lay it down on the ground set it on a block of wood and uh put the the last few wheels on there these wheels are 30 pounds apiece so that's 22 to an arbor except one oddball back in the rear there that has 23 on there so you've got almost 700 pounds of wheels there and then about 100 pound arbor so you're right around 800 pounds per section roughly [Music] so what we're gonna do here is we're going to throw some primer on these fenders now years and years and years ago when i painted a bunch of tractors this is how we set our fenders up to paint them we just bolted them to the leg on the gantry here of course that was when we were in the building uh next door where we're actually painting the 40 20. so these are aftermarket fenders here and the typical spot for the fender to john deere fender to rust out is on this bottom uh portion and the reason why they do that is because all the crap gets embedded in the actual l bracket holder and this reinforced piece that's on there crap gets down in there and what a guy should maybe do is silicone that but however it's going to get in this form piece as well and then it starts to rust that spot right there so most fenders uh new generation fenders like this are rusted out on the bottom now these were aftermarkets like i said they're 20 years old the fenders that were originally on that 40-20 i mean this was just a big bubble of rust from years ago when i painted it and there was holes in through the top there's a rolled edge right here which is a little thicker than the actual fender itself and it was just yeah rotted right through but being that this the this is an aftermarket fender you can tell that it's not an authentic john deere fender because they're a little a john deere fender is a little flatter right here than these units but outside of being 50 feet away you cannot tell that those are an aftermarket fender and they're half the price or at least they were years ago when i put these on there so we're going to uh throw some primer on them here in a little while once these guys get that last wheel assembly we're going to go ahead and kick these guys out of the shop again and one of the other things i'm doing here is i am getting the center link uh cleaned up i ended up taking the ends out of it it works like a turn buckle this is the center part here and um the top part which is sitting on the bench here that came apart decent and i ended up getting this to free itself up so that it can release that ball there and then what you can do when you're hooked onto a piece of equipment when you go to unhook it you don't have to take the center pin out you just unlock your oh i forget what they call this opening in this link here and then you can just pull this third link off of there the bottom portion of this third link i had to put a lot of heat on to get it apart and it was right full of rust there's all this dust here on the bench and whatever else is on the floor and what i'm doing now is i'm just chasing the threads with this thread chaser here now this thread chaser has got maybe like one two three four five six it's got 24 different is there 24 maybe maybe there's not 24. there's a couple of blanks there there's about 20 different thread pitches that you can use to chase threads now this will not make threads but it will chase them and you can only go one way with it this is the left hand thread of the link so i've got i've got my little piece matched up there and i'm just gonna chase this out and i i think i need to uh get two hands on this so we'll come back at you once we get this third link together here jared wants to shake up some primer and um we're gonna get that them fenders prime there looks like they've got this lined up and they got their end bearing to go on there so this is going to be the close of this work here and these guys have put on how many wheels 354 wheels at 67 apiece how many how many dollars is that 354 wheels 67 apiece that's your math equation i'll ask that again in the morning what's that yeah yeah that's your homework assignment might have to go up or down with that it doesn't look like it's lined up all right we chased some threads out and before we chase these threads out i could not only spin this on like one or two threads so we're going to get that down on there and i haven't figured out what i want to do i want to prime this get paint on it but i don't know what we should do if we should grease it or what we want this to uh to work but we also not we do not want it to rust [Music] so that worked this thread chasing tool worked frickin great i mean just look at the amount of rust and crap that we cleaned out of them threads and this is the part number of this tool universal outside thread chaser otc 74 i've had that for quite some time and we've used it for various things now it will not make threads but it will clean threads and this is all of the material that jared cleaned out of the thread just all that rust now this would sit on the tractor vertically like this and then all the moisture and whatever going through the top and then it would sit down in that turn buckle so we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna prime this as well and i i again i do not know what we should do i don't know if we should just spin this down on there and then get it painted take it apart and maybe put freaking grease on it or wax or something but um if we paint the threads they're not gonna thread in and if we don't treat them with something they're not gonna they're gonna rust up so being that this tractor is 50 years old to have this end uh work is is really something 20 some years ago i ended up replacing these roll pins in there this was a little stiff earlier today but it ended up taking off and working all right we've got the primer dot on the fenders and the uh third link you guys have got all the wheels on the roll harrow here we've got to put the scraper bar on here yet and we'll run over next door here we'll show you what the yellows look like or look like rather we got the wheel weights on the floor here this has only got one wheel weight on each side of the tractor got the center hubs painted the correct color before when i painted this i ended up painting them green just because it was easier to paint it with the whole tractor we've got to paint the axles yet jared's got them all covered up we'll actually paint that after we get the greens done we'll just go in uncover it and paint a flat black or something on that so he's got the all the wedges he ended up dipping them into a gallon of paint and pulling them out um they don't look the greatest but i think they're going to be just fine once we get the wheel on the tractor so the next order of business is we're going to put the wheel weights on and we'll put the wheels on then we'll cover everything up and the reason why we're going to put everything together is we don't want to have to cover this hub up cover the wheels up it's just going to be more things to cover so when you're painting anything uh you'll know if you've got enough paint on if the paint runs off so that's what you see on the floor there that hub has got enough paint on it so does that one there too that one's got it running right down in the ground and so does the rear hub so that's how you know if you've got enough paint on something that you want to have it run right off and onto the floor so um yeah the wheels they didn't run now runs don't rust that's right so thanks for watching folks we'll catch it the next one
