Thanks Dave

I love the mechanical stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and work ethic.

there's no way I could poo in that wagon after this restoration. Would have to borrow the neighbors or something

Presision work

If someone repaired and patched that much, it must mean the machine worked well and was valuable. Otherwise it would have been abandoned.

Yup...its interesting.....and it's commendable to try to be as specific in our word usage.....and, as we do,we sometimes become lax.....but this was enjoyable..... thank you

Thanks for another great video Dave! Why did they make the Pittman out of wood and not iron?

Well done Dave, I bet there was a lot of playing around when the machine was first being developed and plenty of trial and error . Very clever arrangement with fine amounts of control.

That pawl mechanism makes me think the original designer must have been watching a steam loco going by. Same kind of seemingly insane motions.

Very cool. You are almost having to reinvent the manure spreader to figure out how all this goes together.

🙏🙏👍👍

Great job

Love your work Dave, hope you have an apprentice, would be a shame not to be passing on those skills.

The whole thing is quite ingenious. The original design engineers were clever people. Could you perhaps count how many castings there are on the machine, unique to it?

That is so cool, amazing what you've fine after hauling that pile into the shop! Thanks for all the videos do we can follow along!

Got to admit they were pretty good back then.

Is so unteresting and amazing how it works.

Very cool.

How will you keep all those square nuts tight? Seems like locktite might be in order.

Awesome work! Why is the pitman made out of wood and not metal? Seems that all of the bits and pieces were metal and would be less prone to breaking.

Thank you for your passionate "cool" in the end, that was great to hear. Loving how this old heap of turds is being coaxed into life by you. Keep up the good vibes coming!

Loved the demo of how the mechanics of the system worked.

This whole restoration project you’ve spread NO bull, but I’m ready for manure spreading

Good show

The invention of the walking floor, thumbs up great video

E' meraviglioso seguire la tua lucidità mentale ed esperienza!

Very well thought out.

And we thought the people of days gone by were stupid! This is quite an ingenious design. I suspect that the pickman is made of wood so that it acts as a kind of 'fuse', so if something in the machinery seizes up, the pickman will break and prevent serious damage to the rest of the wagon.

Beautiful craftsmanship, Dave! Thanks for sharing!

"Pretty cool" for some definitions of cool. But includes my definition of cool too.

That's some fantastic work. I do kind of wonder why a Pittman would not have brass or bronze bushings.

Very nice bit of detective work there! Can't wait to see this move on its own wheels. What a racket it will make. :))

Great videos, thank you. Can I ask why the Pitman is made of timber and not iron/steel?

Maybe I missed something in previous videos but was the original colors red, yellow, and black or was it a personal choice? was there any remaining paint to go by? I like the colors but I can't help but think yellow was an expensive color back in the day.

Nice job

Why is the Pitman (?) made of wood? Surely metal would last longer especially as it has a bearing surface at each end? Just so interesting watching this restoration coming together.

Dave ,You have built the most beautiful manure speaker that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing this restoration.

yep, pretty cool.

Think of the person who first worked all that mechanical operation out, what an engineer! It took a very smart person to figure out what was missing and what went where to make it work again like new. Great work Dave!

Another great video. I have been looking for an old manure spreader to redo for along time. Watching you has given me even more drive to find one to redo. You have done great work and it is looking great.

where did you buy the canvas?

On the wooden pitman arm I wondered why there weren't metal bushings on the pivot points to prevent wear on the wood. I now guess that it is much easier to replace a piece of wood on a farm than a cast iron piece or two!

The technology there is mind warping. Very clever.

Yep pretty cool !

You are not really going to spread manure with this, are you?

Pretty cool indeed,,,, Now ya just need a pair of Haflinger's to pull it :)

These kinda videos are what RUclips was made for! Excellent work, my friend!!

I was WAITING for this video. I was wondering how the feed rate of the slats was controlled.
