that's a bummer I got out here pretty early fill the sprayer up serviced it did all kinds
of stuff to it made sure it's ready to go for the day got it out in the field and literally
got like one acre in I lost my my product pump I think uh either the shaft sheared or
the pump internally came apart I knew it was probably getting weak it's the original pump
it's had a lot of Acres on it a lot of corrosion chemicals corrode stuff and uh it's it's not
spinning the motor spinning pump's not spinning so I guess I won't get those acre spray this
morning I gotta go now to try to track down a pump for this thing if I can get it going
this is our own sprayer it's working on the farm at the moment and we still have about
600 acres of peas to spray before the rain that's coming tonight and I need to spray
a couple hundred acres ahead of the guys in the drills and they're gonna run out of acres
in a couple hours all right let's take a look at it pull her off
see what the inside looks like I'm sure it's not gonna be pretty
perfect I got a tag question is can I make out anything on the tag I'll clean it up
so here's what I got um the internals of this pump definitely are not great it's got corrosion
eating through where the bolts go to hold the motor on there's holes there now it's
just you know it's housing is pretty toast the threads here or the bottom Port is to
drain the pump out for winterizing it it's all uh eat it to eat it it's all corroded
and eating through so you can't hardly put a plug in there but what happened was the
nut which I'm pretty sure it's this one right here well maybe it's not that I don't know
the nut disappeared I think it spun off the shaft somehow and then that caused the keyway
to go away and we lost the motor so I need a new pump I really need a new pump I really
want to put this back together put it on there but I also need to spray really bad today
so here's what I'm thinking I don't have the right nut and the parts store still isn't
open yet it's still early in the morning uh they're a good 30 minute drive away 30 minutes
here plus time there or this I found this nut that fits the threads I could just tack
weld it on after I assemble it with the pump impeller on it tack that nut on there so it
can't come off this pump's already on its last life reassemble it put it back on the
sprayer and spray it at a and on a rainy day this weekend we'll either get big brute going
or if we've tracked out a pump I could just rip this thing off put a brand new one on
what do you guys think what would you do well I found a new keyway put the nut on there
I just lightly tacked it to the shaft so that nut's not coming off until corrodes off which
it will corrode off but in my link through this season so let's reassemble the housing
let's put it back on the sprayer and get back to work and then I'll call and see if they
have a pump on the shelf and just have them set it aside for us okay Moment of Truth I'm
sure water's gonna spray everywhere because these O-rings are tough to get a line but
there's the pressure center line for the water pressure here and I don't like it's a quick
connect and I clipped it off put a new end in put it on it it just doesn't feel tight
so if water goes everywhere that's probably what's going on but let's just fire it up
let's see if I got pressure
foreign s in there so 120 pounds mean I can get back to work oh praise the Lord okay let's
go traffic jam yeah as he's rolling I'm spraying gonna make this work getting her done
okay don't start it till I'm ready oh he's got to give him instructions didn't catch
this last little uh
experience um on camera what happened was uh I've seen the long and Kobe's riding outside
on the fender and I happen to just out of my I just see a kind of a Flash and I looked
and he's gone and then I see him jump and he's running and then I looked and there was
a wasn't a real baby content or not uh Jackrabbit but it was it was uh juvenile so that it really
couldn't run fast and I thought no way because Kobe's gonna get that baby and uh I really
don't care for them to get the little rabbits the big rabbits are fair game because they
can't catch them but they have a lot of fun so I jumped stopped the tractor and jumped
off and was running and Coach Kobe is very intent on that fur and I was within eight
feet of him and he wasn't hearing me finally got him before he could really get a bite
the rabbit was doing its best uh jumping back and forth and uh uh causing Kobe if Kobe was
probably a couple years younger he would have probably caught it wouldn't you yeah I know
you're upset with me but I didn't want to uh you know I didn't have time to show you
guys on camera because I don't think you guys would have found it very bunny okay
check it out clear skies weather man clear skies it's rolling in a little earlier than
predicted I think I still got some time but at this point there's no way I'm gonna get
these anchors sprayed all the peas by the time the rain comes but we'll get we'll get
most of it and you know what I'll take it all right it's a standstill see who's gonna
play chicken first right he's coming towards me and I'm going towards him and we're finishing
up this field right now and what's really going to be neat about this is after we pass
there he's not going to be able to do it because this card can't do that but but I can't I
have a way of shutting off different runs so I don't have to overseed everything so
when I pass him I'm just going to kind of Judge and decide what I want to shut off so
I don't oversee and use up extra seed and uh I think it's going to work out pretty well
now as he was going to see back he's gonna I'll pass him real quick if you look here
I can do this
[Music] so now that part of the air drill is actually not putting down any seed sorry
about the bumpiness so the three runs that I just shut off which is one two and three
is not seating that's pretty cool like that's really awesome now I'm pretty sure don't quote
me on this but I'm pretty sure there's a way to set this up with a GPS so it automatically
does that so if you overlapped it'll know now granted the two tractors had to sync together
to know what it's doing because like his tractor which these have accusing as well um they're
not running at the moment I don't think I haven't played around with it I'm not that
techy but uh anyways pretty cool technology I hope I hope you guys kind of get a little
bit of my understanding and rambling all I know is I can shut it down what I want to
all right we are done with this field there's about a thousand acres over here that we got
finished with peas and spring wings that's a good feeling so now we can head across the
interstate start seating on some other other stuff and hopefully hopefully Nick's had a
chance to spray ahead does it feel good to be done over here yes it's good Adventure
Land that's what we're starting to call it because it's it's always something over here
we usually make quite a few trips yeah oh yeah we've made a lot of trips because Nick's
been spraying and uh it's just us two trying to run two trucks pick up maybe a service
truck and the two tractors and manner lunch boxes well Kobe's got yours so it doesn't
really matter crop okay
it's uh let's go pull the hill
it's all in transport mode and then we're gonna go take the hill get on the other side
and then I'll switch them to high range with our makeshift conversion down here air Chuck
end is that what do you want to call them
but uh yeah that's a good feeling to be out of here [Music] [Applause] [Music]
foreign
[Music] thanks for coming guys wearing out my horn well it's not raining but the wind
just hit something fierce uh and I don't know if it's gonna let up until it starts raining
so I got a stop spraying for now at least keep tabs on if it dies down a little bit
I might go and put one more ludd out if I can but I see that the guys have showed up
there Calvary
and I gotta close the door on that tractor so let's get out let's throw on that bud and
I don't know if they're coming back to seat or not I don't expect trucks here to fill
them up but there's no trucks so maybe they're filling the trucks up we'll find out soon
circus going on here drill being worked on there I'm spraying here and uh there's a drill
right in front of me right there now the weather didn't materialize quite yet it's still coming
tonight but the one that was there blew over so now we're back in go mode let's make it
happen
all right enough laying around get back to spraying just need some of that H2O okay we're
here at the 435 big bud with Wiggles and we're going to try to figure out what is going on
with this thing oh there is some leaking right there okay so there's a little bit of sea
beach oh you found a bowling ball and you found a shank so is it does it just like
so it's not like it just shuts off it didn't choke itself out it just you you're pushing
the clutch you throw it down and it's dead it just turns off
[Music] it sounds good A little oily because these things sweat horsepower
that's really bizarre thanks for finding this these things aren't cheap so you're not pushing
that that button in for like an air brake as long as you don't do that because all that's
doing is it's engaging a hydraulic pump on transmission it's just going to circulate
oil yeah and the oil is kind of being blocked a little bit it's going to create more head
uh heat and then when you put the clutch in maybe that's enough where it just kills it
but you're not doing that nope
I don't know it seems fine to me okay I I don't know what to tell you it's not smoking
right like I throw it you can just be careful with it because it's it's a classic rental
no not like a rental not like a rebel don't drive it like that he calls me again then
there's a problem right
