We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.
As a farmer, I like the wagon you fixed up best. You will appreciate it more in the long run. Nice job. Quit beating yourself up.
Awesome job
Wouldn’t hurt to remove and repack the wheel bearings before it gets full and locks up on you as you are moving it. My opinion, great videos and jobs. Stay safe and healthy y’all!👍
Great suggestion. And while the wheels are off, he could paint the rims. Make it look "purty"! LOL
Wheel bearings on these type of wagons are so neglected. I'm just as guilty with mine. I always forget to do them until one fails. They always fail with a full load too it seems.
I think you have a better wagon for having done what you did. I think silicone is a stop gap measure. You have a far more substantial wagon now!
I am in constant awe at your skill level, be it electrical, welding, carpentry, fabricating, fence building, and mechanical.
I still feel that you had a great deal on the first feeder. For a little bit of work you have a feeder that will last at least 20 years if you maintain it (as you seem to do). If you work out how much money you will have saved in feed costs over the time it will last, then I think your in the money big time. Because you fixed it the right way you will have years of ease of mind because you know it was done right. If the other one has some silicone in it, well remove it and do what you did to the first one. A few hours spent now will save you days later on and that is without the cost of spoilt feed due to a tacky repair. Pete will be happy with the first feeder. Thanks for posting
I agree 100%
You do such fine work...how much of a part of the job is Prayer???
I shall continue to watch future videos...Thank You...
Auction buys have a way of teaching us lessons. Hopefully we remember them next time we’re bidding. Unfortunately amnesia seems to run in my family.
You did a great job on the first feed wagon Evan. In a few years to come the work you have done will pay off. With the second wagon you will be cleaning out the old silicon in a couple of tears. Weld plates on the second one and respray it as you did with the first. You will then have two wagons that you can look at with pride. It's only a few more hours labour and a few dollars for extra materials. Having watched your videos for the past two years I can tell you are a stickler for perfection. It will be well worth the extra time and money....
with pride.
That's the fabricator in you doing more than expected and from my point of view that is definitely a good thing. I'll lay odds that more work on the green bin will be coming.
A job very well done! You are correct in some aspects, but you can take pride in what it took to complete it. Not everyone can do what it takes, you showed us. One of the best videos you’ve done. Keep them coming our way, I’d say Pete would be impressed! 😁
It is always best to replace metal instead of siliconing. You can still repair it cheaper than buying a new one
The red wagon was fixed up real nice, honestly, it looks great and will last many years with the repairs you made. You'll be able to walk past it all the time now and say to yourself "I did that" and know that it was fixed properly, and not with silicone.
Great job 👍 Silicone is being lazy. Fix it right, and be done with it. I was impressed with the way you fixed the first one. Do the same to the second. Leave the silly Silicone to the weekend worriers. You have the shop and the know how to do it right . Be proud of your self. You're amazingly talented keep up the good work 👍
Agree 100 percent. An decal? Country View Acres on the back end. Love it
I agree 💯!! Do it right now so you don't have to do it when you're old and maybe cant
And add a slow moving vehicle sign. Repack those bearings and make sure its road worthy when its loaded.
@@kd5inm I have gotten the impression that with the delivered feed it won't see any road time.
@@dwightl5863 I bet Evan will be pulling it around the farm.
Even though you felt the feed wagon wasn't a good deal, you are blessed to be able to have the skills and equipment to fix it so it will last.
It does seem like 5 days is a big investment, with all the other work that goes into farming. But the ten years you'll get back from all that work really will pay off. Fun to watch the transformation of the wagon, Evan. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
That rusty old gravity wagon is going to be more value to you because of the content it provides. I enjoyed watching you fix it up. Keep on bringing us content like this!
Big Red will be more centamental, we all know, whenever we have blood sweat,and tears in something, we appreciate it more. Good job and a great asset to the farm.
You'll be happier with the one you fixed. The green one is still going to need paint and silicone is a temporary fix at best. You'll find that it's pulled loose and leaked when you start seeing wet/moldy feed after pulling it to the feed lot a few times.
I've bought or been given alot of stuff over the years to repair and use or sell, sometimes it works out with little effort, sometimes it's oh crap, thankfully you have the ability, equipment and facility to make the repairs, great video.
Nice work, you are very good at bringing old farm equipment back to life. How was the running gear? Tires ,bearings and lug nuts are always a problem. You know these things will fail when it's loaded.
I think you did the right thing on the red wagon. Welding in metal replacement strips will last longer than silicone the holes. Even on the green wagon welding in material is a much smarter thing than siliconing the holes. That the difference between someone with a welder than one without a welder. You got tool then use it to make the correct repair.
I love your videos but this is probably the best yet. With your skills, you should "properly" repair the second bulk wagon and forget silicon. Do the job properly and you'll have two feed wagons that will last for years and years and require virtually no maintenance. Perhaps it would be a good idea to look at the running gear whilst the wagons are empty.
Evan: C’mon man: Value-$350 to restored value $1,500(minimum), spiritual value-priceless, you have renewed,restored, resurrected, in us the viewership, and ignited a spirit similarly to not only objects but people.this sense of making things better in the world for one another is priceless. Thankyou, you are a true blessing from God!
Great job on the restoration of the feed wagon, I really enjoy all of your videos, the skills used as well as the work it takes to produce your high quality content thanks for sharing
Stop and think for a minute, you just saved a piece of antique farm equipment from going to the scrappers. Nice restoration job. Keep it up. Take a bow for what you did in 5 days,
Brian in Canada
Great video. enjoyed watching the bin come back to a new life. My two favorite shows - Country View Acres and Just a Few Acres Farm. Both of you are very talented - and easy to listen to.
I like your repairs better than the silicone method. Great work!
Yes, you could have purchased a new feed but I think you do enjoy the challenge of refurbishing something old and making it new again. The look of "I Did It" is priceless!
Sure is nice to watch you take a mess and clean it up and make it useful
I like the one you fixed up better.
The one you repaired looks better than the other one
great video. I have the same type set up. couple of suggestions. 1 check the wheelbesrings in both of them they may be good. I didn't one of mine was shot and didn't find out till it was full of feed. then again it's cheaper for me to pull to the feed mill rather than have them charge me for delivery. 2 when I made my roof which I did alot like you did and the wagon was filled with feed the sides expanded which caused my pt lumber to come apart at the screws. I got my router and cut slots and replaced with bolts to allow the wood to ride on the bolt when the chains were tight and as the load lowered the lumber was able to move in the groove......wish I would have thought about it I would have made it out of emt like your second trailer
You can never go wrong by over building. If it takes two nails put three screws in it. My opinion is you should paint the green one now before putting it into service. Will be better in the long haul. Keep doing it. Enjoy you videos. By the way, your wife is a real trooper and excellent helper.
Next time u spray a big area get a 515 spray tip for your gun. It’s called a barn spray tip. Depending on your distance from the surface you an get a 10 to 12 inch pattern. Speeds up spraying large areas outside.
Great job Evan having the metal working shop already paying off
My father always said “that a job worth doing is worth doing well from the Beginning!!! he would’ve been very proud of you for the job you did on the red wagon even though I know you’re frustrated right now for the money and time you spent but when I look at that wagon and when I watched you working on the wagon I watched a man who took pride in his work. I’ve seen a lot of men who have “jerry-rigged” & “patched”Their projects together & THEY LOOKED TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
Your RED WAGON LOOKS BRAND NEW 😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️♥️
SO IMPRESSIVE♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Anybody would be happy to buy that wagon from you in the condition it looks compared as a green wagon. Honestly I think when you have let a little time go by you will be very proud as a red wagon and over the years you will definitely be proud of the red wagon!!❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
You did a very precise and thorough job and I was super impressed with the materials you used in the techniques. I was on a farm and a lot of times we didn’t have the money to do things right in the beginning and then as dad had more money I learned the difference not only between money but taking the time to do it correctly and I learned so much from him versus other men particularly some son-in-law‘s Who wouldn’t be bothered and couldn’t be bothered to do things correctly and so I am just majorly over the top impressed with the job you get on this red wagon and I want you to feel very good about yourself and the time and the skills you have to do what you did to make this scruffy looking wagon look BRAND NEW❣️
Truly IN LOVE w/ THIS RED WAGON OVERHAUL❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️
A smarty pants here at my house said, "Those ladders aren't shot. They're courage builders." LOL 😅
A lot of work now but I bet the one you fixed up lasts longer than the other one. Great job!
I think you got a good deal, It's now much better and should last over 10 years. You did good!!!!
Time versus money, I know, it's a hard one but wow Evan, you do such good quality work.
I prefer the red wagon to the $500 green one. Got to be proud of that end result it's awesome.
Saw this first on Instagram and finally caught the video. Great job.
Wagon looks fantastic! When you just laid back in the wagon covered in rust dust and sighed…I felt that. Hard work!
Personally I think you not only got a good buy but you and your mrs did a first class job of fixing it up.
Evan great job my friend, you have the ability and know how to fix things. Great video, keep up the good work. 👍 Rebecca makes a great set of hands
But I believe you are proud of it because you brought it back into use and it looks beautiful.🧡🧡🧡🧡
No be cheap.... I love to watch you work and the red one is so pretty........Great job!
I see it a little different. Yes, the second one was a great deal, but the first one you spent time on it, and by that took ownership of it. You turned something rough, into a great wagon. To me, that’s worth tons of value. Either way my friend, great video, and as always, you do great work. Love your videos. God Bless.
I like the extra touch with fixing the old wagon up. Thanks for sharing as always Evan.... Peace
I see those ballet lessons worked for you hitching up the trailer.
Loved the “ballet” move at the beginning! 😂
You may want some slip plate to apply on sloped floor. If that’s no longer available try waxing the sloped floor. The running gears should be worth more than you paid.
Great restoration Evan. Looks really good.
Great job on the wagon but I have 2 suggestions. Number one and best is to paint the inside bed (no need to paint the vertical parts) with Slip-plate or similar Teflon based paint. It will let the feed slid out SO much easier. Number 2 suggestion would have been to put a steeper roof on the wagon to help it shed the snow load. I think you did a great job repairing the bed and door.
The feed wagon looks real good.
Evan you are a great crafts man You always impress
Not going to Lie, the Feed wagon you rebuilt, looks far more interesting, than the one you didn't.
I like your style.
only good thing about a project like that is it becomes yours. you know the ins and the outs and what is good and bad and you have a lot of time vested in it. Hopefully, because of that, it becomes your favorite wagon of the two. Hopefully the running gear and your roof turn out to be better than the other one and this one turns out to be worth the effort. fingers crossed.
Great restoration job! Well done!
We built our own feed bins from concrete blocks..One 25 ton bin,,and one 5 ton bin...We have a artic load at a time..
Which if we were to buy 1 ton at a time£220..
As opposed to £175 a ton bulk...
Lasts about 8-10 weeks..Roughly..
Liked this video. 💯👍👍💯👍
Check the hubs make sure the bearings aren't dry .but you did a great job good luck
That came out really good. don;t focus on the hours you put into it but rather the pride of repairing it and putting it back in service, plus you were able to film a cool youtube video.
Even congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. That is awesome and before you know it you will be at 250,000 .
Great footwork. Nice save of an old piece of equipment.
A Tyvek suit and pressure washer extensions, (2 in package from Amazon), when I pressure wash the house siding or other messy jobs. The extensions give you about three more feet and the suit save's your clothes. You will find the snap in extensions very helpful. I purchased a second package to aid in cleaning gutters. GREAT VIDEO and GREAT HELPER. Some spouses would not be interested. Give thanks, that yours is.
Evan, I have a similar project except I already own the wagon. These are good satisfaction projects. Although when I do them I try to build them so much better I never have to tough it again in my lifetime :)
Evan, Congratulations on your channel hitting 100k!!! I heard your channel mentioned on Pete's channel(Just a Few Acres) and now you are on your way! Good Luck to You and Rebecca.
Five days, you know what you've got, it should last for years, and it made good content for your channel. Sounds like a good deal!
I love all your projects 👍👍& you're lovely, Vanna White.
Sorry to say Evan, but to finish off your red feed wagon you gonna have to clean-up and paint those wheels white! Whoa Doggie, now hold your temper thar' young man. Job well done!
Great job! And also, a very interesting video! 😊😊😊 The only concern I have for the second wagon is it's not fire engine red!! 🤔
Good morning. ☕
It's good to have food supplies on hand. Bulk is usually cheaper. 👍👍
As I watched this amazing transformation and your skills Evan, I thought about a future of you doing this for others, possibly after retirement if not a little before, since new equipment is very expensive and you have a unique skillset of repairing, transforming and extending the life of warn out equipment, for many more years. I'm sure there are many farmers in that area who have the skills, but maybe not the time to do this kind of transformation to older equipment, and it would be a win, win for you and them, with them saving money and you making money, on things like this. And now you have a video to show, or before and after pictures, and what you can do. Nice impromptu air show!
Glad you were able to recover it in the end - looks like it should last a while now.
Well at least the tires held air when you got it 🤣. Seriously though the running gear is worth the $350 you paid. I have to say I don’t know if I’d have done anymore than a primer coat on the inside, I mean it’s going to be covered most of the time and the feed going in and out is going to eventually polish the paint off. I have to say the second wagon was a better deal but you could easily get your money back out of the first one. Also stay away from the silicone idea, that usually leads to more problems down the road, ask me how I know.
I think the red wagon that you restored, properly, is much better than the green silicone one. Great work.
Great job Evan, the farmer coming out in ya👍👌
Don't be to hard on yourself. Evan. It is a great investment. To rebuild that feed wagon. I love it. Red and shiny. Last a long time too. Great job 👏👍❤😎💪👀🚜🐃🐖😋
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
I really enjoy watching you work on this kind of project for two reasons 1) You are a very talented fabricator 2) You don't cut corners! You need not apologize for the one thing that makes you special and that most people enjoy; and it's that you never just half way do a job; I admire that!
Your projects are so entertaining and I really appreciate your approach to problem solving. You are a master at it.
Amazing job. You really deserve this beautiful for ever homestead. Your skills and content motivates this 62 year old to continue building a Yrban Homestead. Love from Africa.😇😇🤗🤗🇿🇦
You are definitely the handiest man. I looks really good. I like how you painted it red to match your other equipment.
you need a 3M respirator P100 for that rust stay safe brother
Outstanding!!! As usual great job!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Pete at Just A few Acres Farms will approve of that color. Evan great job. You always go above and beyond on your projects. It is great You Tube content
All it needs now is yellow wheels. Awesome addition to the farm. You are being way to hard on yourself. Trust me, you did good on the Red one. It looks better and you know it was repaired right.
Congrats on the100K subscribers, Guys.
You actually did very good! I understand the extra expense and your time and labor, but you have a piece of equipment that is very functional and you know what condition it is in. It will probably last longer than the second unit you bought, and looks a whole lot better. Restoration and really be a better way to go. Good job!
Congrats on the 💯k Evan. Love the channel
lessons learned the hard way is often the best teacher , job well done !!!
You might not think it a good deal but what a before and after. Your washing machine must also have been working overtime!
You’re a champion labourer Rebekah.
next time little thinner an a airless house painter ,you'll be amazed how fast and easy an nice it comes out, tractors too, your stuff will look brand new for yrs to come
Evan you are amazing. I love the way you will tackle any job. A farmer has to be a jack of all trades. Good job./
Hello cousin?
I had a mechanic tell me once "You are buying something used. . . Something is going to need fixing." You did a great job that you can be proud of every time you walk by it.
Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. This is a good channel with great content.
Nice job! Thanks! For sharing! 👍
Awesome guys. Looks new all painted.
Congrats on 100K subs !!! Love to watch your chanel from Holland ;-)
Amazing job again you two constructor extrordinaires,love to see what you are going to grow in it.
This was well done, enjoyed your video
Good job man, love the way you hooked it up to the truck. Nice to see I’m not the only one that has had to do that. lol
I am constantly being amazed at your ingenuity. Superb attribute
