Whoopz, 3h late... Fell asleep... 😮 anyway, have a great weekend everyone and wish you merry xmas 🎉 Happy holidays.
3 hours late, sphhhh you could use a break we will wait, lol
Merry Christmas 🐜 👖
Merry Christmas to you too 😍
Thanx all the year for the great content 🍻
Ska bli spännande och se vad du kan fixa på traktorn denna gången. Spännande det ska bli att följa processen.😂😅😊
God jul på dig med . Altid lika roligt att följa dig med dina projekt .😊
Andris, thank you for a great year of content and humour. Finding your channel in 2023 has certainly brought a lot of enjoyment to me and so many others.
glad i could be in service.
Love the checklist!!!!! for those with time and a good sense of humour, pause and read the checklist.
Ant you are a legend!
😅
When you have pinhole leaks like that, you need to grind them completely out. It is usually a contaminant in the weld puddle that made it. When you just weld over it, the same contaminant can just make another spot.
mountains on weld on it! 🤣 gotcha mate
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Gotta say it was hard watching you work in the freezing cold, but you don't give up. I cannot understand how you don't have way more subscribers, definitely one of the channels on TH-cam. Take care brother.🎄👍
And to you and AP both.
Thanks G-man, take care
Your replies to comments are just as much fun as your videos. You are one of my favorite channels and most interesting creator. Happy Holidays Andris, super Mom and family. Greetings from Houston.
ugh thanks mate, only 6 days too late :D
My friend made his own hot water pressure washer by taking his pres washer, a50 foot length of copper tubing and a barrel. He wrapped the copper tube into a coil and placed it into the barrel so both ends stuck out the top. He hooked the hose from the pres washer to the coil then another to the coil to the gun. He filled the barrel wit enough water to cover the coils then built a fire under the barrel. When the water got to boiling he turned on the washer and after a while the gun melted.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A safer way is to use a propane fired instant hot water heater and hook your hoses to it. Mine is 14 liters per minute. Just stop from time to time or it will shut down for safety. Depends on the temperature I can go almost 10 minutes.
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY 🥹🙏🏼
Just remember that it’s not about the money. It’s about doing what you love to a piece of equipment that is sure to increase in value exponentially over the next century. Merry Christmas from the Yanks in the USA!
Exactly
I like your channel, no bullshit, just work.
maybe a bit of % is bs :D
Next time when bending tubing, you can fill with sand and cap off and put it in bender to prevent kinking the tubing. My grandfather taught me, anyway hope you have a Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You've got a lot of pretty smancy equipment there. When the world falls apart, you'll be able to 'Mad Max' it when everyone else returns to the dark ages. 😂
Hahhah 😂
Blinker fluid, really. The man is an attack on the laugh muscles. Note the almost legendary Ants Pants Service Plan.🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season and good luck and health for the new year.
Special greetings to Supermom.
Thanks Henry, wish you best of holidays.
Hey Ants, great video. For the radiator cap, if it still leaks you could cut the radiator cap fitting off the old tank and weld it in place. Have a merry Christmas
PS Don’t forget to grease the muffler bearings
oh snap i forgot, brb
How do you not have 500k subscribers? This is the content of dreams! 😂
Biden stole all my subs
To work on Sibling of Joseph, buy a couple of used insulated tarps (the ones they use for winter concrete). Build a cheap frame structure cover with tarps and put a cheap diesel heater in it. You will be out of the wind and the diesel heater will get temp into high single digits Celsius….comfortable to work in. I’m sure you personal Santa Claus can make the needed supplies appear before Xmas.
hmm :O
What a determined man you are! I'd never go out in this cold to fix an old tractor😄
wish i had a backpack flamethrower
@@Ants_Pants You could probably make one! Weld a box, make some holes, find a way to add pressure, fill with flammable liquid, and enjoy!
Would it not just be easier to move the tractor shed on top of the Kirovets? 😂😂😂 Merry Christmas Ants, may Santa bring you many interesting and exciting things 🎉
I wish you a blessed Christmas.
Andris
You need a big air conditioned hangar for all those projects. In fact the construction of the hangar is a PROJECT itself. You will hav all os us waiting you to upload all the episodes.
hmm
Glad we do not have snow here in Florida.
send some Florida here please
Hi ants pants just found your channel two weeks ago and cant get enough of it think it’s brilliant an how you work alone an get things done keep up the good work
Oh an i love the long videos great entertainment make more long videos plz
thanks :)
Thanks for the christmas gift!
happy new year :)
Don't forget degreaser for next pressure wash!
Also looks like you will need to build a big arse machinery shed/roof.
i already have a plan for that
Glad you got all the leaks fixed and thank God you remembered to change the "blinker fluid"!😅My friend, you are a genius when it comes to making things and you have the patience of an oyster. After the first hour or two I would have placed a stick of dynamite under it and used what was left as a boat anchor.😂
lol, happy holidays my friend
Merry Christmas to You and Your Family may your home be filled with lots of Love and Laughter ❤️🇨🇦🎅🎄
thanks :) same to you
Hi Ants I have a hint for you grind a small flat along the bit shaft to make a " D " shape....bending pipe fill it with dry sand and tap it into the pipe with a brush handle pack it in well... cap off the ends...allow enough pipe for cutting the ends off to get the sand out ...merry x-mas to you and the family great viewing ....
Thanks m8
39:03 that cracked me up 😂
Lol
@@Ants_Pants Hey I have a TH-cam question I hope you could help. Have you found different amounts of success with videos with changing their categories? I haven't been making videos long myself so maybe you could help out... Love your videos btw 👍🏻
No worries. Will be waiting like Seymour Asses for the update.. Black pipes looks nice.
Hey Andris, Mick here. Buy some cheap Pam ...liquid butter in a can. Spray the parts you are welding with it and the splatter will just fall off. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
thanks for the Tip Mick
Happy holiday’s to you and yours from a soggy 🇬🇧 😊
Same to you!
I'll wait here., have a great Christmas
More kirovets! love seeing this behemoth lol.
STAY STRONG AND KEEP IT UP!!!
will keep it up
Great job on the expansion tank. You have a lot of machine there Andris can't wait to see it in action.
yeah
Fantastic video, nothing deters you. Very impressive making your own expansion tank, got your own assembly line. I love it, whatever you get stuck on, just make it. You always amaze me. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Looking forward to seeing you in the next video 😀
me too
A merry happy Christmas to you and your family Ants 🎉
When washing trucks with a pressure washer, use a broom dipped in degreaser or soap. It makes a surprising amount of difference.
Regarding your lathe: One thing which may help if the ‘soviet crap’ goes live is THICK non conductive rubber matting. The use of THICK rubber mats can prevent the current from entering and exiting the body. This lack of contact points is what allows birds to rest safely on high-voltage power lines - it is because they only come in contact at one point.
god jul från sverige.
😇
You can always build a skid plate to keep objects from rubbing the bottom!
@Ants Pants You should hook up a tankless water heater to a pressure washer. it works well.
My grandma told me a red cloudy sky in winter time means something called snow flowering. Which means: Snow is forming in clouds.
that's interesting
Yaay andris again with ants pants and kirovets!
You do amazing work! I love how you pull off these projects on a budget.
Bucket of money 😅
That tank is a perfect application for Tig welding.
Need to get myself some argon gas
nice one fella, more to welding than meets the eye, best xmas wishes to you and your family.
hehe thanks mate
Wow. “ The BEAST” is awaking. Keep going Merry Christmas
Same to you
So glad you changed out your blinker fluid too, so easily overlooked 😂
yeah, but i forgot to put lava in the tire, now the tires will freeze :(
Next time welding sheet metal wipe the sheet with acetone. Makes welding 100x easier.
Do not use brakecleaner it will create toxic fumes. Be safe!
And merry x-mas!
ok
apparently non chlorinated brake cleaner is fine
I always clean my machines (specially the motors) and in this way it is much easier to see where the leaks come from and the problems that arise
Yup
Nice job on that tank. I'm glad you decided to make one. Too bad you didn't have a large plow for that monster. 👍👍
Yeah me too
Another exciting adventure!😊
Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you and your family
Thanks :) same to you
have a merry christmas ants
thanks, you too
lots of work!
yup
K-700 will be your best playlist, I’m sure!! ❤ 🟥

You need to build a hot water pressure washer. Super easy, propane camping water heater upstream from gas or electric pressure washer.
easier to just rent it mate, 30 USD per day
Tractor time, this is a great!
Ah, there he is. Happy holidays!
You got a BIG project on your hands Can't wait till you get her runnin' Good Luck

Referring to the expansion tank, that was damaged.
Your reaction: Let's build a new one.
lol

same to you mate
Ohhh I love Fridays and bonus Ants Pants content to get me through the week being retired is boring 😂
haha
Being retired is the best job i ever had! 😁
Intelligent man! and funny too!😁I've been watching you for a while now and I don't know how I missed this. You do excellent work young man. You shouldn't cut yourself down. You are very inventive and you can fix any problem that comes your way. I loved watching you repair and paint the Blue Max !! And I'm going to watch the newest video. You have some nice machines! I hope you had a beautiful Christmas! You're a good man and have a beautiful family. God Bless! Christmas was a bit sad this year for my family in Essex County Massachusetts, but it was still nice. I was hoping it would snow for Christmas, but it was warm and wet.🥲 Then we got 15 inches two weeks later in January! It looked nice. 🤗 But only lasted a week, and it was gone. I've got a 1952 Cadillac that I'm working on. Fixing an overheating problem, new springs, rot repair etc. My hands freeze to the point that I can 't feel them. ! I have to use hand warmers in my gloves. I only have a propane heater in my garage and the past two months had some cold days. Anyway, thanks for allowing us all to watch ! Can't wait to see the next installment on the Kirovets tractor! peace
Thanks for sharing bro
Take good care of that caddy
@@Ants_Pants 👍!
Well done so far 👏Merry Christmas!😌
happy holidays Dan
Put a whole box of crushed black pepper in your radiator it'll smell great when you're driving and plug all the holes and it won't leak also keep all brass and copper shavings from your milling so you can put it in the radiators to completely plug them perfectly❤❤❤
Wtf is this 1960 sketchy redneck fix man
what🤔🤣🤣
Been waiting bud Damian from Australia
Mannn..as i said it before, i love your channel, i really hope you will paint this machine very nice, maybe sand blast it, i would love it!!!
gotta patch all the holes first :D
Thanks!
Thanks:)
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video sir & Merry Xmas to you and your family from Atlantic Canada
