A masterclass in practical metallurgy that proves understanding material properties is the ultimate cost-saving tool for modern agriculture. It’s a satisfying demonstration of how precision heat can restore functionality where others would only see scrap metal.

Fixing what got messed up
Added:Well, we're into the following day.
We're filling with water. We're sharpening knives. And we want to get some primer and some paint on this roll stand. So, what I have here is this bar that will set in.
We can hook it up to our water spet.
Now we'll just go ahead and turn it on and spray spray some water in there while this is finishing up the sharpening process.
Turn the dial down some. I only need about that much.
So, I'll show you what this looks like.
A little aggressive.
Turn it down some.
Down on zero.
Uh down on zero. It's barely shown any pressure. Zero might not be enough.
Zero is perfect.
And that air from the knives will kind of blow some of that water back through there, too.
The only problem is is I don't have a switch out here to uh shut that off. And I I'm halfass thinking about putting a proximity switch in.
So that'll turn on and off when the head goes up and down. But I could put my wire plug out here too and use that to uh turn the system on and off for when we're sharpening knives.
So, oh well, let's turn it on towards the tail end.
Let it do its thing. And then when I go to sharp set the shear bar, I can turn it off and take that bar off of there.
All right.
We ended up turning a little too short yesterday and we bent this pitch.
So, we're going to try taking that off here in a little while.
See if we can't straighten it. But, um, yeah. So, we're going to try that.
All right. We'll go ahead and get this off of here. And, uh, there's just a couple of pins there that hold it on.
And then there's a pin in the back here that's got some little brake style controller thing in it of some kind, which that doesn't work.
So, we'll uh get this out of there and see if we can't uh straighten it.
So, all right. Travis and how much time you had.
That was an awesome job.
All right.
Face alien.
Face alien in there.
>> [music] [bell] >> Hey, hey, hey.
Heat.
Heat.
All right, we've got this all out of there. Now, we're just going to try to straighten it and the press.
wet.
>> Yeah.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat up here.
I believe we have it.
I mean, it's not the greatest, but Okay.
Heat.
All we can do is try.
Twist it a little bit.
>> The pins. I should put bolts in there is what I probably should do. So, these pins should go on a pale two.
That pin. We need this one. No.
Okay, that's got to go on a pale. Yeah, those there. So, we need a bolt that's at least like 5 1/2 in. Do we have a bolt? If we might not. So, just take a wrench. It's probably 3/4.
And uh if we don't, we can put them back in.
No.
You got her >> right there.
>> You can get him in there. I think so.
These are going to be long enough bigger than that though.
>> Is it?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, it is.
>> It's not a seven. Take take a wrench. It might be 7/8. We might have to >> No, you're going to use You're going to use that, right?
>> Yeah. I got to put that back on.
Okay, we're in pretty good shape now.
We're a lot straighter.
It's tight. Oh, I can't believe how tight it is.
Let's see.
A little longer. Good.
>> Well, can you uh take that? Take the other pen and get get a cotter pin that's [ __ ] tight for the hole.
Tight in the hole.
I don't know what the hell hole I was in.
I was in that one or not.
Where is this pin that was on the floor with a drop in clip?
I don't know what one I was in.
Actually, this one has got a lot of wear to it.
I end that one. Right there. No, I hit that with hammer.
Wasn't down here. I think I was right there.
I'll know when I back up with the chopper. Yep.
>> Looks pretty good. You used all that water?
>> I used 350 gallons yesterday. The pipe gummed up. It cleaned the pipe out, but then there was hay that would clean the pipe out, too. So, yesterday we wouldn't have really needed it.
>> Why we plugged the pipe twice? Operator error. Taking slugs in cuz too much went in.
>> Listen to me.
See, if I had done this in the dark of night, you guys would have never known.
>> You guys never know.
>> Look at this [ __ ] guy here. You know, he he's [ __ ] >> He's right on the mark, you know.
>> I know that first time you started using it with Jared down in Nile, you know, it's quite dusty. He started putting water on there and the dust went down quite it didn't later up it like that first. I don't know there, but I think it's it's good.
>> Good deal.
>> Just make Tim make hard turn.
>> Yeah, Tim. Tim has got to stop doing what he's doing. I can't be [ __ ] [ __ ] up like this.
I don't know if I was in that hole.
Maybe I was.
>> Yeah, you was.
>> All right, I'm going to grab a creeper.
I'm going to weld this. You guys doing something for breakfast?
>> I'm good. My truck. I'll just stop at the house. Good.
>> Okay.
>> We got two windows to grab on for >> on the way and then we'll be on Polly Farms.
You're going to be driving a white truck.
White automatic.
>> Oh my god.
>> Well, I mean drive 11. You want to drive 11?
>> No. So Dylan Surl is coming today.
Heat.
Heat.
What do you say everybody?
How you doing? Pretty good.
Look like you grown a little bit.
Yeah. There you go.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
All right. So, that's all fixed back up. So, I just cannot turn short.
Not good. Um, what I want to do is get a piece of rectangle tubing and make a different hitch face for the front so I can put a regular panel hook on there like we have on the fuel trailer and so on. So, I'm going to get this spun around and uh get hooked onto the head.
And that's going to do it for this video. I want to thank everybody for watching and we'll uh catch you at the next one.
