This horse drawn Great Western manure spreader had two controls that the diver operated from both sides of the seat. Getting that seat in position allows for setting the controls in the right places. Thanks for coming along in this rebuild of a 110 year old Smith Manufacturing manure spreader.

The worlds most beautiful manure spreader just gets more beautiful every day! Painting each piece before assembly means that your machine will literally be better than new.

@firstlast-ty4di Месяц назад

That's the only pretty spreader I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of them and used quite a few too. They're not as pretty after they've been used. They don't smell as good either. But I agree - Engel does great work!

When I was a younger lad, working in an industrial shop for the first time, one of my older workmates would have sent me off to find the left-handed, or right-handed (depending on the mount position), 'iron stretcher' to deal with that short seat spring. 🙂

@user-dz5hm5vh1c Месяц назад

Ha- when I worked in the shipyard, they would always send the newbie out for a ‘pipe stretcher’ . I was halfway off the ship before I’ve realized what was going on. I came back and told them they were all checked out.

Ours was, "quick, run up to the service truck, get those 2 sets of sky hooks, there's four of them total, so we can get this crane unloaded and send this lowboy rolling for the next load, hurry!!" An hour later he returned and would say, "I couldn't find them, looked in both trucks, what do they look like?" Ah, the good old days!

A story I heard years ago was the “new kid” in the garage was sent to get the can of backlash out of the mechanics tool box. When he came back empty handed he was sent out to a parts store and one phone call led to another as he was sent from place to place before one old guy at a garage that had been around since the 30’s handed him a crusty old can of 90 weight gear lube. I’m pretty sure the guy telling me the story in the late 80’s was the “new kid” 20 years before when I was toddler.

I Continue to be addicted to your channel. One aspect of watching your channel is that it makes me to want to know even more about the history of any equipment you are working on, like the manure spreader. After reading about it, like most inventions, typically they are devised by the person who needs it the most but also who isn’t intimidated by the effort to build a prototype. I am thinking someone like you. Thanks for documenting your projects.

@phillipduncan2497 Месяц назад

Watching you put in those rivets brought back memorie of me helping my dad build the sides of a grain truck when I was a kid. He was as careful as you about doing a perfect job. He stared with a flatbed truck and when he was finished it was as if it came from the factory with bright red enamel paint and even had yellow pinstriping on the uprights. I am 75 so that was a long time ago. He did all this without plans. Thanks for the memories. He passed when I was a senior in high school.

@tedhewitt4299 Месяц назад

My guess with the seat irons is that at the time of manufacture money was tight & the shorter iron may have been all that was left from stock & they made do rather than cut a new piece if they had it.

@user-dn4iv2ne6r Месяц назад

My personal philosophy on restoring old wagons, farm equipment, wooden railroad cars, etc. The original items were work-a-day pieces, and it was understood that mechanical wear and tear would reduce them to unusable junk long before rot would be much of a factor. Paint was more for esthetics than a preservative. Today, we have significantly fewer examples left than what were originally produced. We want to restore and preserve these remaining pieces for as long as possible. Few of them will see the amount of hard use that they would have back in the day. We therefore preserve and paint the components to keep them from rotting rather than wearing. Society is different now. We route and finish edges to keep people from getting injured and suing. Just the way I see it.

@duanelundgren7985 Месяц назад

I am satisfied to say that I recall the springtime 'tradition' of hauling manure to the fields before the hay came up too far.... We boys loaded the old spreader by hand, pulled it to the fields with the '46 Ford tractor and in the fullness of time, the barnyard was relieved of its winter accumulations. Lots of work, but... my Dad... and his Dad... and who knows how many generations before did that same task... Due to circumstances, my boys did not have 'opportunity' to be part of that tradition. Yes, Satisfied. Thanks D & D!!

I enjoyed your observations and remarks about bygone quality, ease of replication of respective items, has I guess, always been the engineering challenge, as a young person I heard the wheel being at the heart of all human development, which I accept, but when as an engineer in training I soon realised the thread was the element that polarised the industrial revolution. The ability to make the exact copy of a temporary fixing like a nut and bolt as well as micrometer threads to common standards any where in the developing world was amazing, Joseph Whitworth, we salute you. Great videos, a total fan.

I was always taught that you do the job right or do not do it at all. I worked in a Class 8 truck factory for 10 plus years back in the 80s and 90s and on one of the factory walls was written (Quality is job one) in big bold writing. Every day I would walk by that wall, and say it to myself and give it two thumbs up. I sure do miss that wall.
