Part 3 of renovating the New Holland 514 manure spreader. In this video, my son and I install a new apron chain, then I replace the drive belt, reassemble the wheel hubs and new tires, finish cleaning and painting, and take it out for an “empty” test run.

Yes always install your seals spring in and be careful not to get grease on the sealing surface of the seal that is a loctite material that can't keep water out if you get grease between it and the metal surface. You do a good job reviving America's past especially at 50 mph even though I've never seen a manure wagon pass me at 50

Looks very impressive. Just a suggestion you might want to put a coat of used motor oil on your new boards. They’ll last a lot longer
Well done. Really liked the video. Working my way back through your videos.
Pete, Never apologize for talking to much. I watch your videos to learn about farming, not to become a farmer because I am much too old to think about that possibility, but because I enjoy learning about other people's careers and lives.
Thank you very much for all the time, money and effort you have put into these videos for us to watch and learn. You and your wife are very special people and the only "Yankees" I like and respect! (I have lived in South Mississippi 38 years and I am not proud of that because much of the stearotypes of the people that live in Mississippi are very true and I hate that).
So Pete, how do you get the bull urine for your special degreaser formula? Could make for a great video…
As usual, I'm a year or more late to the party. But I enjoyed this thoroughly-
our farm had all used equipment. Never worked on a manure spreader (although I did fall into one when it was full, lol). But we were always fixing bushings, bearings, and seals, not to mention belts, pulleys and idlers. Never painted them-always seemed like we had other things to fix and work to do. I admire your thorough and methodical approach to things, Pete! Bless you and yours!Incredible series on the spreader restoration that I totally enjoyed as much as all of your other content.
You have a talent showing the various stages of the project you are working on as a teaching moment.
That ability, excellent videography and a your calm approach to challenges encountered, is truly inspiring and appreciated.
I enjoy doing similar projects in my shop albeit not farm related but equipment maintenance and upgrades and as I just retired, look forward to more with inspiration from your work. You even have me considering IH Farmall tractors that I have little use for but want to work on!
As Scott says on his videos "Keep up the good work".
Nice job! P.S. the paint looks great from my place!
Fantastic
Pete, I hope you oiled your wooden deck before installing? You did a fine job repairing the spreader. I enjoy 😉 your jokes 😃
Nice job on the spreader. Don’t change anything on the videos we enjoy them all.
Outstanding job done, Pete that boy yours is growing like a weed you must be corn fed
Where I worked at before I retired in Dec. of 2015 we had to deal with a lot of conveyor belting, replacing, splicing etc. Cutting rubber with a dry knife edge dulls the edge very quick and also make it hard to cut because of the friction between the rubber and the blade. putting water or something like WD-40 on the area you want to split the rubber makes all the difference in the world. I also was watching a video on You tube and saw a fellow using used motor oil on his deck and also his trailer decking boards to prolong their life. As always, I enjoy your videos very much. I think you would of made an excellent teacher. Lee
Great job Pete👍
VERY nice job ! Sad that panels have been eaten up by rust on surface. Those spreaders were not only very reliable but mostly nice looking wearing New Holland's red and yellow scheme. Thanks for sharing.
Pete, it is obvious this implement is so important to the farm! Wow, being a farmer is so important that you are a "master of all crafts"!
Thank you Pete for all of your videos and your knowledge and incite on all subjects that you cover in your videos. i like watching all of your videos.
Haven’t seen you lately. Retired?
Thanks for doing these videos. After watching them I decided I wanted to get a spreader for my farm so I recently bought a new holland 130 spreader and plan to do the same level of restoration.
I know you done this 7 months ago and you probably won't read my comment but you done a great job give yourself a pat on the back😂
Looks brilliant Pete it's a shame to put 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 into it
Another top notch refresh, Pete.
According to my Grampa, that's the only implement his Deere dealer refused to stand behind.
I think manure speaders should be made out of Teflon…
Wow, loved the video’s ! Now it looks like brand new ! Your attention to detail is great ! Thanks for sharing!
As a history buff, Very good video. Most I've ever learned in 30min !!
Really Awesome job restoring Spreader and all the Tractors, can't wait to get started restoring our 1973 Triple 6 Diesel.
Do want to say, typically when it comes to lip style wheel seals, the seal goes into the hub so as you grease the hub, the lip allows the grease to come out, but dirt not to come in.
New subscriber here(1 week) and watched about 50 videos so far and like that you have a wide range of topics you cover. I really like the rebuild videos and the equipment looks great.
