I'd love to see a stitched zipper hoodie. This time of year I prefere zipper hoodies when it's chilly not cold out.

Keep battling Chris, you are getting ahead even if you don’t feel like it most days.

Great episode of field wrenching, learning and again dealing with manure happens! You fix it well. Great to see cash flowing your way and Yenko scoring tennis balls and taco. He's liven large. The three boys are hanging safe. What a nice farm experience you have. Congratulations 👍👍👍

I just hope you get to the point where you quit worrying about others opinions about your business. Listen to people who you respect and let the rest talk their nonsense 😊.

Yup. Any comments make it bigger and better. Ask Whistlindiesel. Negative built him . Use it for fuel . No doubt. F em.

Funny you mentioned portion sizes Duffy. Here in NZ when Wendy’s came to my town we were shocked when we ordered a small or medium meal and the soft drinks were massive, like 1.5L massive. They finally changed the portions after so many customers were throwing away half full drinks in the rubbish bins.😂

Great video Chris! Sucks to see the struggles but as you say, it’s all part of it. Keep up the good work!

If you're still having trouble with the head gasket(s) and haven't already, you should try putting a true straight edge across the head.

Field fix👍 minimal down time and straight back at it, expect nothing less from you. Finally ground is drying out here on my farm and getting things done at last . Hopefully ground conditions where you are allow you to get your own cultivations and corn planting to happen soon.

Don't get down on yourself man, a lot of people wouldn't even try pulling their own heads. Half the time when I start with something like that it never gets put back together, I can't remember which bolts were for which holes, ect.

Nice job fixing the Mack 👍🏻

You are doing a great job Chris, keep going!!!!

Great video Chris thank you was great and always can't wait for next video thank you

hi have to admire your drive and self determination people should watch to see just how difficult it is in farming and the daily fight to put food on tables kudos brother keep strong 👍👍👍👍👍

Good luck and keep up the great work Chris

I get the same thing with busses in my town. The parents take their kids to school before bus comes . So the bus stops at a few houses in a row and nobody comes out.

Funny your absolutely rt about the buses and how things have changed. Lol. Good video thanks

When I torque head studs or head bolts, I torque to spec then smack the top with a brass hammer and then retorque.

You are an impressive man Duffy ! I only wish I could do half of what you do man keep up the good work keep on keeping on!

Great job getting your truck back in action. Keep fighting

Oh, no. One good thing is that you can fix stuff, and figure things out how to fix things! Going to Greenwich next week, 10th, I'm going to look around for you up around Kings!

Keep working hard.

I have been an automotive technician since 78 and found that the fewer distractions I allowed the better my work was. I absolutely enjoy watching your channel but I also see the distractions that come from filming everything. I know you can’t but a camera man would be real helpful at times.

I feel the same way. If I'm working on stuff that requires a lot of concentration I do it at night so I don't get bothered.

We all 'live and learn', things and life will get easier (especially for us watching, who only want the best for you!) as you settle in to your new life. Thanks for sharing and appreciate the (almost) daily videos, more work at the end of a hard day.

Checklists , Chris make it easier " NOT " to forget crap !!!!!

Don't feel bad my Granite at work is being worked on, only running on 5 cylinders and the pyrometer is shot

I've been a diesel mechanic in the UK for 25 yrs from wee John deere 755 s to 6910 s 7530 s land rover defenders of all ages to daf scania and volvo trucks and coaches with some old school gardiners in there and there are still school days often bud

Better to have caught the gasket now, could have been worse!

If you load from your new top hat opening, would that not help flush some of that sand back towards your pump?

Great content as always

It ain’t just you with equipment failures, hell I mill roads and highways, we started today with 8 tri axle dumps ended with 4 lol it’s just the way it goes

When using the same head. Bolts we toque them down at 25 lbs more then specs and never re toque

Hey Chris noticed that trailer nose dives a little...ever consider a fifth wheel riser to level it out. Keep on Truckin👉

Your doing good.

I’m only 38 and it was the same when i took the bus to school. If you weren’t at the bus stop they would leave . Now they make everyone wait until the parents come to the bus doors and then the kid comes off and that’s in the country . I see it all the time

FINALLY!!! after three yrs of watching ur videos..... Finally got to see the celebrity drive past me 😂🤷

Man how do they raise any kind of a crop at all putting that much sand on the ground? Hope you have it fixed but if you have any kind of equipment you will have brake downs.

I understand your frustration with the school bus, I have to wait 15 min after work before leaving to aviod the bus on my way home. HOWEVER, with all the lunatics in the world, single parents that have to work, and idiots texting while driving, its not really safe for kids to standing outside waiting for the bus

Sometimes social media helps make money but also sucks because of the hate. Rather just do my own thing 😊

Beechnut gum factory or Beechnut Chewing tobacco factory? Hang in there Chris, you've got this!

looks like they made baby food at that location from what i see online . the Canajoharie Ny plant closed in 2011 when the company built a new plant 22 miles away

Getting a truck that age to 100% for an extended period would be challenging. Especially when your working in the conditions your in. . But that old truck that's paid for is still just as good for the bank account as running new(er) with big payments. Hopefully in a couple years you can afford a better truck, still pays even then to stay pre emissions 2006 and older

It’s a fool’s errand.

i know of nobody that has the skill or confidence to replace a head gasket out in the open like duffy does. duffy's breed of mechanics dies off decades ago; duffy could be a resurgence of the old breed.

Somebody send him a case of GO Jo hand cleaner,Chris you gotta wash your dirty paws more often.

Our society is making kids soft!! The bus sits waiting for them to come out of their house and then they take their sweet ass time to get on the bus!! AND the bus stops every 10'!!!! Dam Duffy, you hit a nerve with your bus comment, sorry to digress. Back to Farming!!!!!

you need to get a couple of goats as well, they will clean it all up

You could get a fully mechanical E7 400 hp factory doesnt take much to get 500 hp out of them.

Good job daddy oh .

I agree with you on McDonald's. Hash browns are about my favorite and like the egg Mcmuffin with the Canadian bacon.

Chris, you are showing your age now you are telling us how things were when you were a kid. 😂

Have a good day.

Got a dulb burned out on you pickup.. I could hear your flasher flashing fast. Am I right?

Hey Chris, just a dumb thought. Could you go back on your new security camera and see or here anything through the night of what might have spooked your calves?

Who has the mechanical e-7?

Keep a pair of work gloves in your truck so you can keep your hands clean.

Duffy grow the //// up its cool that your trucks always broke not pulling it hard enough what the ///// is it going too do now blow up all over highway now. Send that dog over the pond run the lh you have at home.thats your good truck and you don't even know it.

Duff im from wi an there is a service truck for sale 4 2500 bucks its on face book market place around madison. Its a chev

I am going to tell you something I was told, " You are not born knowing everything. You learn or you do not."

ALL part of it , lmao ,

Some head bolts cannot be reused and if you reuse them they could be stretched I know nothing about diesel engines but with the high compression in a diesel I would imagine they could stretch

@Jimmythefish577

Head bolts should never be reused, always fit new ones. As you say they stretch specifically during the torque down process.

Good thing they are head studs not bolts

Boy that's a nice barn. Check out Peit VanBedaf. He has a daily in North Dakota. Huge dairy farm.

Then the bus driver chewed you butt for not being ready !

The children are like their parents entitled my school system was the same thing as yours you are not there they left you

Great job with everything hands down EXCEPT exiting the cab every video that is highly insulting to your wellbeing.. If you keep jumping forward out of the cab smashing your hips, knees and core like we all did when we were young boys in our teens,, you will definitely develop serious hip, hip flexor, string and knee issues very soon. Correct this very serious bad habit - so easy to do - with such an easy adjustment and thought of exiting your vehicle like a trucking professional ASAP - BACKWARDS OUT OF THE CAB UNTIL YOU GET BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND WHILE ALWAYS MAINTAINING THREE POINTS OF CONTACT! Your health and safety is most important. When you are hurt and down it is even worse than your truck being down. Don't risk your health ever and the way you CONTINUE TO exit the cab is the perfect recipe for SERIOUS injury at least in my experience in driving all these city day cab whore trucks in LTL Freight since 1989....

Bull shit on the str8 pipe? Why so he can pass off all the neighbors with excessive noise levels? What are these idiots thinking? Leave the truck stock and not mess with stupid stuff!
