- These beaters have been repaired and changed, but we're going back to what was original and seeing how they are designed to work. The Great Western manure spreader is a unique design of the early 1900s. Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Dave, I always look forward to your videos. Thank you and Diane for all your efforts to bring these videos to us!
Dave - you are real detective when it comes to these mysterious vehicles. Some might see nothing but splinters and rust, but see the whole story. Thanks for sharing!
Ah. A man that knows which way a washer goes. That's something most people do not know.
Because they are punched and one edge is sharp which goes against the wood. With the rounded edge up, it accepts paint better than a sharp edge.
I caught that too!
My dad hammered home the difference between "working face" and "showing face" by the time I was five!
I had ONE Maintenance Man out of a slew of maintenance monkeys in the last twenty years that actually paid attention when I explained why I kept flipping washers over! Everyone I worked with the first twenty-some years KNEW!
🙂
It's called break and shear 60% break 40% shear.@@ron827
Yep, LOL. It's kind of funny because I was just thinking about that yesterday when I was building a set of wood racks for my truck.
I notist that to.
Getting very excited to see the final assembly of this-here manure spreader, Dave! Your workmanship is superb, and I love the way that you restore things to better than new condition.
lol I watched a video on tiktok operating this manure spreader...the poor woman was getting pummeled by manure. that thing flung cow manure EVERYWHERE hahaha. I felt bad for her in that video lol. It brought new meaning to the phrase "when sh*t hits the fan"
Dave & Diane,
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you.
Mr. Engel, the internet brings out all kinds. Please be assured there are many "out here" that appreciate the skill and ingenuity you exhibit in every video. I appreciate your effort to entertain and inform. I have a great deal of repect for your craftsmanship. Don't change a thing in your approach. Thank you for the hours of fun and even education!
I couldn't have said it better!
Dave & Diane, You continue to do a wonderful job editing. Just the right amount of fast forwarding and skipping repetitive steps. Please keep up the excellent work!
I am amazed at all the deferent things and the workmanship that goes in to the buggies, wagons, and farming equipment from the 1800s. You’re such
a craftsman and I enjoy everything you do.
Wow, what a project. Thanks for taking us along.
Dave is a real sleuth to determine the original production for a bunch of cobbled together half rotten and rusted parts and pieces!
That is the most entertaining aspect of the on going videos. After watching him a long time I have gotten accustomed to his masterful crafting in wood, metal and leather. But watching the sleuthing out of all the mess presented to him and coming out with original operations is mind blowing!!
I enjoy these videos. I worked on the archeological excavation on a blacksmith/wheelwright/wagon building shop in Illinois, then after it was rebuilt I got to work in the shop with the forge etc. It was a great experience and made me appreciate how all the metal work went from pig iron to a finished product that went across the plains to settlement in the west!
Another great video from the Master wagon builder. Your ability to look at a part, figure out how it was made and recreate it in wood or metal is first class. Thank you for sharing this build with us.
Really enjoyed the forensic efforts. Looking forward to seeing the outcome. Please show it in use!
19:50 thanks for showing the water. I always wondered how you kept the vise or anvil from getting so hot that it becomes soft and mailable. 👍. 💖🌞🌵😷
Vices are always mailable, might cost you an arm and a leg but they'll ship anything these days
@@09conrado , ☺️ oops! Silly spell checker... I meant malleable. Thanks for catching that. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.
@@suzisaintjames thanks for being a good sport. Best wishes
thank you Dave and Diane for you time you put into Engels Coach enjoy it so very much
That red and black really makes it pop
Lovely Dave. You make it all look so easy. That's the mark of a true craftsman. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I find myself anxiously anticipating the arrival of the next episode of your restoration of the manure spreader. It is fascinating to witness how ingenious our forefathers were in developing ways to accomplish tasks with every day materials. Like my own ancestors did, make do with what you had available. Keep us updated and thank you for explaining each step.
Love the ring of that anvil...
My favorite project of your yet, Dave. I'm riveted!
You are a blessing to enjoy, thanks.
I am truly enjoying watching the sheep wagon and manure spreader coming together. Waiting patiently for the end results. Thank you for bringing us along!!
Great detective work enjoyed this voyage of discovery.
These two projects have been great, the spreader and sheep wagon! I especially like this one because of all the metal repair. I Always enjoy the investigation that has to go into these projects! Thank you for taking us all along on the journey!
I think the beater bars that were wider in the center, then tapered to fit the cast pockets of the drive wheels, were a good idea. The middle of the bars have the most stress and the wider stock adds strength. You are doing a superb job, but that ringing anvil set my tinnitus off! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I think making the engaging faces at the end of the bars tight and square might hinder smooth running. Isn't that why gears are given a hypoid form so they engage and drive more smoothly ? When this machine is first set in motion I'd expect there to be heavy wear on those faces - or it jams - and some relieving is needed.
My tuppence worth.
@@causewaykayakI do not think this is a problem, because the this wood isn't a part of the conveyer belt, but is fixed in place, making a spikey rotating cylinder...
@@sidekickbob7227 Right !! OK. Then I had the design figured badly. Embarrassing ! Thanks for the correction.
@@causewaykayak Well, it's just my guess how it's designed. Hooefully, we'll get the conclusion at the next episode!
Objectively (as a scientist) this guy is brilliant!
It's fun watching you take it from a basket case back to original.
Between the two projects, the sheep wagon and the manure spreader I like spreader best. But, it struck me as I was watching how labor intensive these projects are. Your skill, labor and dedication are amazing.
Should be ready for the 4th of July parade this year. An odd vehicle for a parade, but dang it's going to be very handsome when done. Gotta show it off a bit. :)
More archeology. Dave uses even the smallest clue to calculate the restoration details. Dave you are a wizard. More EE here. (Entertainment and education.) Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
The washers on the beaters was a really good move
What a keen eye you have Dave. It's a pleasure to watch your work!
It’s amazing what was made before modern machinery. Thanks!
Your patience is incredible. I could never do what you do. The repetition would drive me bananas.
Hello Dave and Diane. Thank you for the great video and the detailed explanation on how you fill in the construction gaps.
I am not sure if the original Salesman would stand behind this spreader, after the sale but I would stand behind Dave’s work regardless of how messy it might be. 😅
Have a great day.
Another fascinating production , roll on the next installment 👍🏴
I really appreciate the way you work through the logic of your decisions.
I'm fascinated by this manure soreader project.
This was a fantastic episode on the Smith Manure Spreader. Great detective work on determining which beater board dimensions were true to the original ones. Your fabrication skills continue to amaze! I have no doubt that when finished, this will be the most spectacular manure spreader in the United States - if there is such a thing!
Farmers and ranchers make things work. We don't care about anything but getting it back working when broken down in the field.
LOL..... basket case : Pile of wood containing metal bits which the campfire rejected.
I'm constantly amazed at your ability to make sense out of the pile of remnants that you're presented.
Thanks Dave for such an educational video. I’m starting to understand how the spreader comes together. I think it’s going to be so cool when it’s finished.
Wow ! That’s a lot of spikes to make .
Love the way you fabricated the 96 spikes for the Spreader.
Its always good to see a tru craftsman,not to many left that give a dam.
You always amaze me, the way you resolve that rusted and rotted puzzle.
Thanks again for taking the time to make these wonderful videos, looking forward to the next one.
Next week, when assembled and rotation is explained, I'll know how to knock the crap out of a manure spreader! 😁
i think if they had a jigsaw in the shape of an old wagon you would be very good at it i like the way you solve problems i realy enjoy watching your program . terry
Thank you great job 👍👌❤️
Always fascinating! Thank you.
My midweek treat it's like having a weekly christmas
Excellent idea on applying the washers to the rivets, makes perfect sense to me. Nice piece of detective work on the beater bars and spikes, looking forward to the assembly. Thanks for the update sir, I am enjoying the spreader series of videos.
You are a skilled craftsman and a great story teller. Stay safe.
Yap adding washer makes more sense I too would do esacley the same.
Very much enjoy the way you analyse out the process, gives real understanding as well as teach. Thank you Gene
Always look forward to your Tuesday and Friday videos! Never get tired of watching. Reminds me of my childhood when I ride my bike over to old man Clanton's Blacksmith shop. Never got tired of watching him or my grandpa working with iron! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I passed over this video like 4 times thinking how could a beater bar be mad interesting!
Boy, was I *WRONG!* You did an excellent job bringing us along telling your thought process!
One observation on video production. I tend to listen with headphones. The anvil ringing was very loud.
C'est toujours un plaisir de vous voir sauver ce patrimoine
Salutations distinguées de France
The audio was fine. Virtually unnoticeable. No worrying! 🙂
Thanks for all of it.
Thank you.
The ingenuity of the folks involved in agriculture, design a more efficient way to spread cow poop on a field. Yeah we can do that. Today they have high pressure pumps that spray long distances covering a larger area in less time. Like the way the French repurposed theirs to paint government buildings. Really enjoying the spreader and sheep wagon Dave your getting good at multitasking.
Thanks Dave.
The original spreader probably had a deluxe model with washers on the rivets for 30¢ more total. :)
Love the ironwork!👍
Great Job Regards Doug.
Very enjoyable. I never knew the beaters were wood.Thanks Dave and Diane
Love watching you figure these parts out! It's coming together!
Great job its amazing how many parts there are for this spreader. The engineering of that area is very good. Thank you and have fun.
I,pressive forensic examination and a well executed repair . Highly enjoyable videos! Thank you!
I am in awe of your detective skills on both the spreader and the sheep wagon.. I absolutely love your channel and your common sense approach to your work. Keep it up.
Was surprised to see you working directly on the saw table rather than the cover you usually use. Just letting you know I'm paying attention. Good stuff!
Steve from Circle
Once again thanks for the video.
There's a lot more to this one than I perseved.
Great stuff. Thanks again for another excellent video.
Always fascinating, Mr. and Mrs. Engle.
thanks..
..Black Art Forge..
Reminds me of the days weeding in my Grandma's garden and finding bolts and nails and running them to my Dad who would tell me what it might have come off of, then toss it back in the garden and say, "it adds iron to the soil." When I think we could have rebuilt half the barn and restored some equipment with those findings, LoL. Imagine all those spikes that got lost off the beaters are now iron in the soil.
Your archeology is almost the best part of the show. Your craftsmanship is even better.
Wow! What an intricate project! So many pieces and parts. How do you keep your head from spinning 🤪 it’s looking great though. A brand new horse drawn manure spreader! Don’t see those every day! I hope you can arrange to show us a demo when you’re done with it!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🌎
Your editing is very good!
Need some magnets and chains on that anvil it's loud AF, and super grating! 👍👍
I missed the washer detail, thanks. Just amazing work
Great series Dave. I can't wait to see it working!
So interesting to "read" how they designed these and the function of each part. All of the past maintenance and repairs too, just like a home or a building, as each owner moves onward, the new owner had different ideas and workers doing their various crafts that shows up in the evidence long after. I have been inside homes that had several "owners" and just about each room had way different wear and tear, repair levels and so forth. That's when some folks really appreciate a "one owner" home or car etc.
your story reminds me of a old railroad mechanic/engineer, they were not always what the factory put out. some had been repaired by local blacksmith . the parts worked an looked like the real thing but not really. any way at the time it worked. now they have a pretty good record of what they should be like not like your wagon were the question is which part is the right part. keep pluggin away your almost there.
Thanks again for a wonderful video!
excellent as usual
Nice job
Dave, one thing I saw you do, that seemed a dangerous thing to do, that I was always taught was to never wear and jewerly, gloves, loose fitting clothing around any spinning blade, drll press, that could get your hand dragged into the saw blade. Something to think about. You are still MR. WIZARD in my book !!!
I love the irony of a prolific internet content creator restoring a manure spreader. That is true genius.
8:45 Yup! I noticed! But yours looks stainless or are the new ones just steel for the rust factor? Thanks for explaining the reason. Inquiring minds want to know! 💖🌞🌵😷
Very nice,coming right along 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Like said before. great job and interesting
Dave, I see that you have all the tine spikes all in the same spacing, rather than off setting them for improved dispensing of the manure. Maybe they didn't think of that in the year and time.
I enjoy your Great Western project. When the restoration is complete, I would be very interested in knowing what the MSRP was, back in the day. If you can find that dollar amount it would make a fine epilogue.
Good evening, it's good to have new ones, vbideos, Brazil, Jaraguá do Sul,
Great video as ever, but please wrap a big chain around the waist of your anvil to reduce its ringing.
This is looking like another museum quality reconstruction. Will it ever be seen in action.?
I think Dave is planning to use it a little then display it.
