This is hilarious! How many Larson guys does it take to change a tire? 😂. I love Dougo. He comes in for 5 minutes and leaves!, Hope he has popcorn while he’s watching the DVD!😅
I worked in my family’s tire store. I changed my first tire at 8. I can’t imagine how many tires I have installed. If I set everything up correctly I can mount 4 tires in 7 minutes (just putting on the rim) watching someone struggle with the tire machine is so difficult. I love the way you guys asses problems.
@@HammieNL It’s funny how miserable people trolling the comments and being so negative. I am good at changing tires. I’ve done it more than the average bear. You have a wonderful day sweetheart. This is such a great channel, don’t ruin it because you’re put off by someone who is better than you at something. TTFN ✌️
when taking the bottom bead off put your bar under the tire stick it over the dove tail between the tire and rim and pull up as the machine is rotating but as a tire man it is hilarious watching you guys do this
That was a good comedy show 😭 I was pulling out my hair watching you guys. Learned in my dads gas station at 12 yrs old and just retired last year at 64 yrs of age of being a tech, always fun to learn new stuff!
I came from Maine, four seasons. Moved all around the World. Settled in Nicaragua , the week of Christmas 1999. Been here, off & On Ever since. No snow in 24 yrs. I'm 64, I call that a WIN! You Poor Farmer's! My ❤ goes out to You, ONE & ALL!
For someone growing up in a farm shop that has always changed their own tires I didn’t realize that it was this hard for someone to change a tire. 😂had to laugh.
Sorry for laughing when you were welding. Your commentary was so appreciated. I had an uncle who owned Market Tire in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He would flip tires like nothing using the tire changer. However, I personally took "forever". Thank you for your RU-vid channel.
And you still need a coats 20-20 spin balancer. Not necessarily for the road tires for the Cultivator but the Trucks and cars - Front tractor 🚜 also. 5:47
You guys and the new tire changer.. that was so funny. It was like the blind leading the blind.hahahaa. that was a good video.oh and that weld job Doug did. Looked like a pigeon flew over and took a shit.That will buff out Eric said LMAO
funny stuff, 4 men to change a tire with a tire machine, as always great stuff you all put on a great show I can't wait to see the show, it could be like Friends or Seinfeld we love all of you keep up the great work be safe god bless
When I was 15, my first job working in a gas station. I fixed flats and it was not too difficult to take the tire on and off with the machine. Use a lot of lube.
lol. Take your tire bar. Put against the sliver thing you was calling a Doug? Pull the tire up over the rim and spin it. Then push down on the opposite side of the tire to bring bottom up and repeat the process. Then when start the tire start with the valve stem where you start the tire. Most of the if you lube push with your hands it will slip right on with little to no effort. You’ll figure it out after about 25. Dougo is on the right path though.
The metal part is called a duck head. Get your self a hard plastic duck head and its easier on the tire and wont peel the tire and wont scratch rims. On bottom metal pieces that hold the rim in place there is also plastic protective pieces I use when mounting nice rims
When dismounting a tire start at the valve stem. When mounting finish at the valve stem. A rim has an open center like a spoke truck rim or the rear of a tractor. A wheel has bolt holes like a wagon wheel or car wheel or like on your semis.
Well Dougo, I'm not a farmer but I know exactly what you mean. It's the same story with my children. I sometimes spend more time looking for my things than I can use them.😒
Put soapy water on the new tire bead before mounting. Makes it go on much easier! I repaired and dismounted/mounted 100's of tires throughout my 4yrs working at my local Esso station through high school. It was so cool to see that valve stem puller/installer hardly changed in design since my time doing that during the mid 70's. 👍👍 You guy's are a hoot to watch!! Cheers, Pierre.
Dougo is the best like I can’t stop smiling he is so humble not afraid to fail but also keeps his sense of humour and even takes a bit of ribbing from the boys good guy for sure!
You need to have a dedicated high speed grinder with a steel brush on it to buff rust or junk on rim where bead seats on rim, than you can use tire machine to rotate rim as you buff rim bead seat.
Don't get too upset over the quality of the aluminium welds I've seen guys who have done it for years and it still looks messy it's a very specialised skill to look nice. But on the bright side surfs up at Dougo's .
That was so funny, when i started out at the Dodge dealership back in 1993, I got the crap job of tire changing, and chasing down electrical problems that you never make any money on, because the book rate back then didn't give much diagnosis time. They didn't do a lot of tires, but they just let me figure it out, and it wasn't brain surgery, but once you do it, you don't forget, because it will just click into your brain. I left the dealership to run a cemetery, and just fixed the same old junk over and over, at least your equipment is good, course that weld Dougo made, made the rig look poverty stricken lol. You guy's are all to funny. G-d bless.
For Ten years I was a TLE Tire Lube Express salary manager. We mounted and dismounted hundreds of tires a day. So watching this was giving me a brain aneurysm. When you figure it out the entire process including balancing the tires should only take just over 2 minutes per tire. The longest part is filling the tire with air and waiting for the tire to spin when balancing. Be sure to remove the guts from the valve stem for faster and easier beading and air ups. They make a small screwdriver like tool and a weight hammer to do it right. NAPA carries most all that stuff.
Dougo you got a good welder and spool gun maybe you should go take aluminum welding courses also make sure your using the correct gas can't use the steel mix like you do for regular steel needs to be Argon should look like quarters laid out when done properly
I know what you mean. They always say they will call and do not. I know even the ticket says, "Call First". You only gouged the gravel twice, wow, you are a pro. I am horrible sometimes. Need to regravel the road again this year. Next year might be a real woolly burger.
If you have wheels that you don’t wanna scratch, you wanna clamp it from the outside of the bead but if you have steel wheels or anything, you’re not worried about clamp it from the inside
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)/ TIG This is the most common method of welding aluminium. It is also known as Tungsten Inert Gas welding. This method doesn't require mechanical wire feeding, which saves you the problems that come with feedability issues.
