You better Arc Weld that plate on that Pin…..MiG welding will never penetrate deep enough…..Just saying 🤟🏻🇺🇸
I know doing all the videos can be a pain sometimes but it’s sure appreciated!!
Seeing a front-end loader pulling backwards is never good. Some real good driving on his part.
Right, love America which is owned by the people. We US Citizens are Government of our Country.
Chet if you have problems putting those bolts in get Jean Marie to put it in for you?💕
Brody was the perfect addition to Chet and the big sweed
one of the best videos to watch, nice to see Team work with a bit of laughter included !!
I sure hope y'all are holding your breath when welding that galvanized metal because those fumes Will make ya real sick the next day. If ya know, well ya know. Lol platform looks good!!!
The way you guys welded the rails and expanded metal on the bin sight, you should hire out to Corn Star Farms and get there's up to your par.😊
Cole really got hosed by that bin company.
Cole got fraud. Wait until this fall, when it’s still all janky.
3 dudes playing with nuts and bolts.... steamy... haha 😂
Chet a little trick I learned in my career of welding mostly pipe welding is that if you cut or weld on galvanize and breath in the smoke and it hurts to breath drink some milk the calcium will wash the galvanize away, might help some day...
I have a friend that started to weld galvanized steel, next thing he knew he was waking up in the hospital. I've welded it and never had a problem. A welder told me about drinking milk, I don't know how that helps your lungs. This welder said he welded a lot of galvanized steel and always drank milk before and after and never had a problem.
Love how clean everything is… shout out for Brody and all for nice backgrounds.
BOYS!!! LISTEN to Dougo. Dougo knows! He has forgotten more "Oopsies" then all of you combined know.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
The hitch on that dump trailer you have is really heavy duty work. Wow.
Your decision to let a machine shop do the fixing and welding was a good one. That is heavy duty work on that hitch. But you all got it done and fixed and ready to go again. Good job Chet and Eric snd Brody. Good to go again.
Changing the axle setting on the combine went better than it looked. The three of you did a great job changing the rear axle setting. Hopefully that will help with the header setting. Good job guys. Ready to go now.
The walkway mess you put on the upstairs walkway looks really good. Fits well also and is strong with you all walking on it.
Another nice job done everyone. Looks great.
Busy time with all these maintenance jobs. Doing great.
My compliments to all of you.
Thanks for everything Chet.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
The world could never have enough of the Big Swede.
Well done Larson Farms!!!!
You guys are awesome, love watching your videos. Thank you!
In Europe, they have wagons like that with drive axles driven by the tractor PTO, it really takes a lot for them to get stuck.
Chet, yes this was exciting, you guy's work like i do lol, dangerously!!!! You guy's should have a group meeting and watch those old hand of danger safety video's from the 60's and 70's, and then sing the hand of danger theme song while you work. G-d bless.
Hey, Eric, I'm liking the clean haircut and weight loss thing ya got goinng buddy. Looking good!!
The world needs more Big Swede’s !!!😅
You did a good job on that platform. Ya'll need to go down to Iowa and help the Cornstars with their bin setup.
Good video! Love sitting here in my easy chair watching you guys work!
it is pre heated to remove moisture/hydrogen, witch induces cracking, and also to releave stress cracking.
Time to get that drone up for a summer view of things
Why do you care? How does an opener effect you?
I think it will change the combine for the best.
Thank you for another interesting video. 👍
Lol I'm in Mexico on the beach watching this!
New platform looks good!!
Always a good laugh watching the videos. Thanks for all your entertainment. We have been with ya since.25k and.never a dull moment.
Outstanding comradery, breathtaking work shots, extremely fun to watch. TY!!!
Building a catwalk for Dougo's Doghouse 😂
Ok about the pin it’s pretty big and and a lot of weight being pulled on the back collar if it was me then yes pre heat it and the collar. Just take it out first heat it up slide it back in then start the welding.a hotter piece wil take the weld better then a cold piece
Thanks Eric! Appreciate it more than you know! If you know you know....
I love how the strongest guy runs the bolts 😂😂
Chet if you preheat that shaft and collar after welding you need the post heat the same area to relax the weld so it won't get a check in the weld using a 7018 LH around 210 to 250 amps should give you good penetrations, good luck...
they still got blacksmiths up north
That was some sweet jd644h drivin.
LOVE the t-shirt Eric! I love how you all work as a team; and have some fun!
The quote of the day, the week, the month, the year from Chet: Unfortunately, this couldn't be easy!
Y'all seem to never do things half-way, but always complete the job the right way. Take care and be blessed. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Oh no worries Doug will find use for that extra grating. I’m sure he’s got something in mind already
Larson Farm’n🇺🇸
Time to get the drone out and dust off the winter opening scene
😎
You guys need to go down to Cole the Cornstar's bin setup and do some repairs for him!!! His builder blew it BIGTIME!!!!
I have come to believe that you guys can fix or build anything. Very impressive!
17:57 Bravo Dougo, that fake fall was primo acting!!!😂
And that’s how easily a properly lubed pin comes out.
That’s what she said
The upper deck looks great guys.
Well Chet what a very good Day Dougo did a great job finding the catwalk grates works really well I grew up on the farm raised beef cattle we always repurposed everything for small projects nothing is junk until there's nothing to use it for right and then its off to the scrap yard, well enjoy the County Fair those were always great times during the summer and fall miss those the most we still hit our county fair which is this week and weekend can't wait love your channel!!
U know Chet it would be boring if everything went smoothly! U guys always handle it well god bless u an family!🙏🏻
Thats some good looking fab job, guys.
Seeing a combine in the shop makes that first tingle of Harvest excitement hit! Thanks for the video, gents, always fun to tag along with yas.
Wow, that trailer held up really well for loosing the hitch! That thing is sturdy! I would ask for a new pin that extends well into the hitch piece, and ask them for options to strengthen that bond. They might come up with some really clever options for you to never ever have this problem again.
Lowering that rear axle on the combine should do the trick - I personnally like to run the header a bit upswept too - to prevent dirt and rocks going in. I haven´t run all the crops that you do in the US, but I do know that it is cheaper to leave a bit of yield, than to repair a combine that has been feeding on rocks. One thing, though, I would fix the bolts lightly, lower the combine and only then tighten those bolts properly. Because these bolts are flat, the axle might set during operation later, and the bolts could come loose. Please check them after a day or two during harvest.
I love the walkway in the bin site. Now Dougo can go upstairs and have a nap waiting for all of you to fill those bins :) How are you confused about the insulation of this loft of his? ;P
Great Job all looks great
Well ... Ther is always something. Kool!
When working on machinery, wear leather or gripping gloves, they protect the skin and give 30% more hand strength ! Protect the fingers ! Work smarter, not harder !!
This video was "very" impressive, I really liked how you made the walk-way and railing. Nice job.
Now You need a piece of flat galvanized metal around under the rail to prevent items from getting kicked off or rolling of onto someone below. Then another rail between the kick and the upper hand rail. OSHA would be happy then!
It the three stooges comedy show. I love it.
Chet you need a new pic of those grain bins with the corn and beans growing out in fields
I’m proud of you guys for admitting when you don’t have the skills necessary to do the job. Good call taking the hitch to a pro.
Something depressing about the winter opening. Good time to get the drone up for a new opening sequence!
that is a scary thing when a hitch comes off like that , you think about how it could have broken in a bad place when driving on the road or something , and you have no idea that it was going to break , frightening
TEAM LARSON GETTING IT DONE ‼️👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good job guys you to Dougo
The world needs a lot more big sweeds. And also more chets
Another nice video, Eric wrecking more equipment and laughing cause it’s not his. We need more Dougo in the videos.
"Eric just lifted that end with 3 fingers" 😂
we always see you guys working together why not see you guys having fun together like ski out on the lake or something like that
Getting that cart home looked like more fun than a bag of hammers.
No matter how bad things seem, they could always be worse and tomorrow they probably will be. Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed.
Struggle Bus is at it again lol.
I was waiting for Doggos pretend trip at the doorway...and .....he delivered. Another great video guys, keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.
O m g, yall having too much fun !
That hitch needs a horizontal pivot point to prevent it from breaking again
Chad. Don’t pound that hitch on the cement floor. Get a 2x6 and pound on that. You mess up your cement floor 😊. I did that one time. One time 😂😂
Nice 🇱🇷 job, guys .
Chet Dougo Eric Broodie that was great enjoyed it thank you great explanations Dougo paid to much for that mesh flooring but great job looks nice thank you for sharing and your time was awesome
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 keep up the American dream, love the content!!!!
2nd floor next to the now-completed cat walk will be a Dougo "hide-away" for use at a later time!
Must have overloaded the big green cart for the hitch to break like it did-- --no names.....lol
Always a joy to watch Larson Farm You're videos are always exciting to watch Chet its so nice to see the way you all work so well together and I'm always looking forward to seeing the next video
Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮
@@mmurphy2317 Thanks i didn't realise i misspelled i know his name is chet being watching for a long time 👍
Busy busy busy. Don't forget to stop and eat a piece of pie.
Preheat with cutting torch and no cut jet of oxygen. possibly a Big Rosebud tip. 5:08
Next time it breaks get a machine shop to build a new one and tell them you want the hitch end to have full penetration weld and the back have it threaded with a nut custom made to that shaft and it will last until that thing rusts back into the earth. Properly done it can be bulletproof. Something else will fail before the pin hitch.
You just don't weld a flange on to the end of a shaft period. Especially if it has to hold forces in all directions. Either thread it on, use a nut to hold it or machine it down.
K80 is the ways to go👌🏻
@@David-xl8zf it can be welded if done properly. I agree that having a single piece milled would be very strong but to ensure how strong it is it would need testing to make sure of no defects in the steel. The steel of today is not flawless a lot of it came from recycling and any of it from China is complete crap full of impurities and flaws. I have seen this first hand. I’ll put it to you this way I wouldn’t even want my little grandson riding a bicycle made with Chinese steel. Maybe there is some good Chinese steel out there but I have not seen any and I have literally seen and worked with hundreds of tons maybe even thousands of tons and have had to cut out and properly fix delaminating layers and interior cracks and even air bubbles inside thick plate steel straight off rail cars coming from the shipyards that was a few years ago when I was doing structural steel but I have seen it in Chinese parts as well the steel tearing and completely wearing out in a small fraction of the time of American steel.
You should have had them make a longer pin so it could have been fillet welded at the back. I worry that the back weld will break and the pin will pull out when being pulled. That would be really bad.
Love the channel love the content and just fyi I could have came and fixed that on site with your equipment. I am a certified welder and fabricator. I just don’t do that anymore but I miss doing it so much!!!!!!!! But I can’t make what I make now doing that anymore unless I was to start my own shop which I don’t have the cash flow to do. But I could take a weekend and come fix things for you.
you have to preheat and stick weld to get the proper penetration.
nice work but ,Welding galvanized steel is possible, but it should only be done if absolutely necessary look up why ,and that pin will be held on by the weld you do on the pin so make sure that is done the right way
Your back must be feeling better Chet, I don't see a hitch in your step. See what I did there?
This video was awesome. You guys are such a great team. Awesome adjustments on all that equipment. Thanks also for the laughs. Love this channel. 👍❤️
Keep up the great work and great videos
You're right this was exciting
Definitely one of your best videos. Love all the cool (to the guy who doesn’t have to do them) projects and you guys making a job fun.
thank you
Nice work gents. Now off too the fair!
Back in the 40’s Eric says🤣😂🤣
That was a really good video. I think that I would weld the sleeve to the pin with a stick welder. It would be a stronger weld. Either way it would be ok. The expanded metal looks great on the old frame. Stay safe and see you in the next video.
Thanks for another sweet video y’all always an adventure
Should have seen the ole gehl pulling the chopper 5 miles home this yr she's was worken
Got in a fight with a guy that sells grease!!! I was dying 🤣🤣🤣
Big Swede! 💪👍🏼
