Part 3 of renovating the New Holland 514 manure spreader. In this video, my son and I install a new apron chain, then I replace the drive belt, reassemble the wheel hubs and new tires, finish cleaning and painting, and take it out for an "empty" test run.

Pete, this is what I love about your content! It's not just chickens or pigs or cattle or turkeys, it's the WHOLE farm including all the supporting machinery and the work it takes to make it all successful. God Bless and I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

@bobbailey4954 7 месяцев назад

I agree. ❤ it should be noted that I’m able to make a comment about this video only through another persons comment. For some reason I’m not able to make a fresh comment the area that I would normally do so doesn’t pop up. It’s entirely possible human error on my part plays a major roll. Good day.

EXACTLY ! Could not have said it better. God bless all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃🍠🍝😊

The inner seal was originally so when you grease the hubs through the grease nipple the pressure won’t blow the seal out.

@alwilliamson3798 7 месяцев назад

Thank God for people like Pete, who can take us back to the days that made this country great through hard work and innovation. I tend to forget all the hardships we face today, if only for a few moments, while enjoying his videos. Thank you Pete

Same here. I'm in Australia. I love watching Pete refurbish his farm equipment. The manure spreader looks very pretty all decked out in it's new paint!

@johnskelton5683 7 месяцев назад

Pete, not only is he an architect, he's also a mechanical engineer and one dam good one, not to mention that he's one hell of a farmer with the best backup with Hillary and children. 🤓

Farmer Tyler Ranch has a similar background in terms of his Grandfather ‘s tractor and how he had fond memories of helping his Grandfather on the farm. He now farms on his Grandfather’s farm and continues to restore his old tractor. What a legacy for you and Tyler.

@carylbeck2177 7 месяцев назад

A word of encouragement I'm a 87 year old farm women and I love your machinery repair videos.Alway like the mechanics of things I'll be watching

@mickeyscott7479 7 месяцев назад

The memories I have because of watching these videos. I was a clueless kid, that wasn't even a teen, when I started working on a thoroughbred farm. A New Holland spreader coupled with a Allis-Chalmers WD-45 was how I learned to drive. When I turned 13 it was time to learn how to back the unit up in the barn down the lane between the stalls. It took a whole morning and a countless tries to understand but, I finally got it. What a treasured life skill.

@@bobmottau7668 I have to chuckle, English was never my strong suit. In fact, I hated it in school... with a passion! Thanks for the compliment though. It makes me smile to know someone enjoyed what I shared.

How wonderful it must be to work side by side with a son. Let Henry know how proud we are of him. Farm work is more important than ever. God bless all the small independent farmers. Thanks for the great content, men.

"It's not the strength. It's the technique." - Ernie I have always been a fan of Tell Sackett from Louis L'Amour westerns. He had a saying about " I haven't met anything I couldn't move of I set myind to it." Well, as I have...'matured' I have ran into a few things I wasn't able to move. Technique has become more vital lately. Thank you for what you do.

@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 7 месяцев назад

This was something I really enjoyed watching. I have never put a piece of equipment together, but have sewn two coats. The finishing of any project can be picky, but I've always thought it important, not just to make something look good, but to work well and more importantly give a sense of pride in the project. Loved your paint job. I'm sure you will use this for a long time.

@SwannOG 7 месяцев назад

Pete this looks almost showroom new. I love how you take it all the way and do not leave out things that may not be a big deal in the end, make the job look killer and completely finished

@matthewschultheis1039 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing Pete. From past videos you’ve voiced concerns on transitioning from farm to restoration projects during slower winter months. It’s great to see the bigger picture of what it means to be an independent small farmer. Your content is great, and I personally like the varied content. We hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving holiday. God bless!

i have lived on a small farm all my life, as a child we named all our cows just like you have. A few videos ago you mentioned that you did not know if you would continue to post videos on RU-vid, while that decision is yours to make I hope you will continue. You see I enjoy watching all your content even if it some of it is a repeat of what was done last year. Pete I i enjoy your videos because unlike other with popular sites you have not taken your success as license to lecture your viewers on politics or other things Watching your videos is calming, enjoyable experience and never ever makes me want to throw something at the tv. I wish all the best for you, your family and your farm.

@fredthegreg 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoy your ALL your video topics. I've always wondered how manure spreaders worked! Without these videos, I may have never found out what makes the poop fly! Now I have a really good understanding how it was designed, and how all the different parts work together.. Thank you!

@petegraham1458 7 месяцев назад

I agree with your logic on the wheel seals , I noticed there is a radius machined or ground on the seal shoulder of the axle, so I suspect that is to allow the seal lip to easily ride up during assembly. She is ready to go to work ! Nice job , I had Henry’s role with my father on the farm , it’s really nice to see him involved. It was a different time now so not judging , by his age I was doing welding jobs and some mechanical jobs on my own . I went on to become an engineer, I think all that fundamental knowledge helped me be successful, I ended up running an international business and worked on five continents and lived on 3 . He is getting an excellent start you should be proud!

@avahightower4685 7 месяцев назад

Wow. In all my 63 years of living, I never thought I'd ever say that I enjoyed watching a manure spreader restoration project and totally got into it. lol But I did. Pete, there is just something about you and all that you do that never ceases to be interesting, educational, fun and relaxing.

@rickharper6320 7 месяцев назад

Great job Pete !!! We all know how hard “ fertilizer” is on metal. Definitely gave this well engineered spreader some well deserved repairs. Should be a joy to use now.

@toddstone4678 7 месяцев назад

Hi Pete well done on the manure spreader it looks like a brand new machine, what a difference. Thank you for including Henry on helping you on this project. I really enjoy when you can include your kids. It remains me when i was young helping on the farm. It is good life skills for the younger generation to learn as Henry one day might wanna or need to take over the farm.

@ericvogel1126 7 месяцев назад

That was fun. It is really enjoyable seeing an old piece of equipment brought back to usefulness, especially by using practical skills and basic tools.

@Usul 7 месяцев назад

The attention to detail is why I like watching. Many farmers would have stopped at a dozen points prior to carefully painting and restoring, fixing and patching. It is the difference that makes the difference.

@johnhennessy5868 7 месяцев назад

What I have learned from this and your other videos is the importance of focus and perseverance on the step-tasks, no matter how large or complex the project. For me, it is important to not get discouraged or overwhelmed thinking of all that needs to complete the project; just plan things out and do the next task on the plan & eventually the goal will be achieved. Thanks, Pete.

@johnblake3863 7 месяцев назад

Many years ago, as a high school kid, I worked at Otis Elevators in Yonkers and the old guys I worked with would tell me: "Slow down kid. You're working yourself out of a job!" I was reminded of that when you were telling Henry about his hurrying. Like Pete, I've saved so much over the years, knowing that sometime I made need it for something else. Problem is that as one gets older one has to find the heart to start discarding some of those saved things and it can be very difficult to let them go. Lastly, "Practically NEW manure spreader. All bids welcomed!"

Very impressive craftsmanship Pete. Equally impressive is the production quality of your videos. Well done!

@keithwest2575 7 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the series! Aesthetically pleasing with the finished exterior, and good (if not better) as new in functionality! It is refreshing to see individuals who do not shy away from repairing / rebuilding things in lieu of the throw away mentality that it has become today. So thanks again for not just this series, but the whole aspect of your family and your farm. It is always enjoyed and appreciated. It has allowed me to introduce you to my son who now has chickens and a few goats on his place. He borrowed a few things from you in regards to getting his chickens set up. Nowhere near the numbers, but you helped him none the less. Thanks.

@69drummerdude 7 месяцев назад

I'm really happy with the result. I also was afraid you weren't that into it at the beginning, but in the end it was a thorough overall and "het span" as we say in Holland looks great. Traktor and implement ready for a good few years. 👍 I'm a painter by trade and one of my teachers started my education by saying: gentlemen, we are magicians. We can stop the damage of time. Forever, if we maintain the paint coating...😊

@MichaelAllanTorrey 7 месяцев назад

Great completed project Pete. Nice to see Henry too. My father was a machinist toolmaker for Pitney Bowes so I learned about tolerances early on. The care you took to explain the mechanics of the chain links is exactly what I like about your attention to detail especially the part about how they should rub against the sprocket. It would appear that a poop spreader is a simple device, but it is not, all the parts have to work together at the same time with no conflict. Just yearning for a tractor restoration, hopefully your oldest tractor. Hope you, Hillary and family have great Thanksgiving! Will mourn the turkey 🦃. Michael, Norwalk Ct.

@bertmenden2645 7 месяцев назад

I like your formula for degreaser! We Canadians substitute "Panther piss" for the bull urine you use, both are quite effective. Amazing how a little paint, some parts, and a large amount of labour revive old machines. I like to use "Hemlock" boards instead of pressure treated lumber for spreader floors, the old timers used them for the floors of the horse stalls here, and they last a lifetime.

@ZigZagMarquis 7 месяцев назад

Cool videos! Thanks Pete for explaining everything you did. I couldn't help but think two things as I watched this particular video on fixing up your New Holland manure spreader, 1) Sure was nice that it was all clean and renewed when you and your son went to put the new chain on and not "soiled", and, 2) Hopefully no one tries you use your degreaser formula as dipping sauce. 🤣

@billmansfield309 7 месяцев назад

Quality restoration! Thanks for setting a high standard of care. I liked this project.

@richardanderson2742 7 месяцев назад

I never tire of watching you maintain older equipment. Whether we like it or not, doing so is essential to the economics of running a small farm. One look at the price tag on their modern counterparts is enough to motivated maintenance and preservation of the old. I'm still hoping that one day you redo the Farmall Cub that is tucked away in your barn. While not a terribly useful tractor for most farm jobs, I really enjoy the simplicity and size for doing odd jobs. For the last few years mine has been relegated to pulling the firewood cart, which when loaded is just about its max pulling capacity going up my hills.

@michaeld_68 7 месяцев назад

That came out beautifully Pete. You're very good at restoration work. I especially like that you bring them back to the original as much as you can down to paint scheme and decals . Great job as always. 👍✌️

Hey Pete, great job on the manure spreader. Sorry you weren’t able to get underneath the manure spreader to paint After you get done cutting the bushes by the door you can put a sliding chain hoist in your new workshop so you’ll be able to flip over the manure spreader and paint it, ha ha ha Pete keep up the great work you’re the best.
