- The big swede gets dirty in the old hog manure tanker trailer, power washing it out.
Chet puts brake chamber on the terragator.
Chet also torches the old pipes out of the tanker trailer.
after the tanker trailer is converted, the whole crew works together on placing it in its new home.

Please don't let anyone ever go into a confined space without checking the oxygen level, especially a tank used for transporting hog manure, which is rich with methane gas. To top of all that, you used a torch to cut metal inside the tank where toxic gases are abundant. I have 1st hand knowledge of some horror stories. Please be safe!
It hasn't had high manure in it for years there's no methane in there
Osha is going to love you. Wow, thank god everyone is still alive.
Yeah, thats incredibly dangerous.
Just think about the 60s and 70s than give your balls a tug
Chet you’re giving Zach Johnson a run for his money with the content man! Keep up the good work, I tell anybody who will listen to check you guys out! Informative,entertaining, and great situational comedy as well. Well done sir!
I would have to say that Chet has outdone the millie boy.
Its hard to beat zachs humor, but Chets operation is pretty interesting, and they actually work on the bigger jobs that are interesting unlike zach.
Me too .I love watching the Larson farm guys doing their thing
He's only 410 thousand subs behind
Lol
I do enjoy this more though
Check out "trippy farmer" too he is pretty good
We have a pit in our shop it's very handy. In michigan we have to have a exit from the pit to the outside of the shop in case of fire. We also have to cary special insurance on the pit . We were required to have a ventilation system because welding and torching gases like acetylene gather in the lowest point of a building if there was a leak . Pits are useful but are an insurance liability. We also have 2 hoists for cars and light pick up trucks . We do mechanic work and fabrication on the side during the winter on cars trucks and heavy equipment. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
That nut and bolt that you removed is called caging bolt. S lot towing companies has to use them if a big rig can't supply air for it's brakes. The brake cage bolt releases the brakes so the vehicle can be moved. Love video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
I would suggest using a 3” banjo screen with like a 250 mesh when unloading that thing for the first few loads. To keep any remaining stuff out of your sprayers.
Old rusty containers are some of the worst confined space to enter, oxidation uses oxygen in the tank. Have plenty of air purging and a fan blowing air. Obvious really, great videos keep up the good work
The little 4 inch long hole in the side of the brake chamber housing is where you can store that cage bolt that compressed the spring after it’s removed out of the cage so if you need it in the future to pull the equipment somewhere you can re cage the chamber and move it. 👍
Great video Chet
I watched this yesterday. I was doin things while watching, been wanting to get back and leave ya all a comment. Chet....great northern accent, I have noted this accent before, and always refreshing. The farm shop pit is super. Lighted up really good also. I used to and sometimes still do work on 3/4 ton and one ton trucks, even though I am much toooo old to still be doing this, if I don't …. it don't get done. keep up the good work.
Thank You Chet
Chet.. take it from somebody that has experienced the bad side of crawling into an unventilated tank.... DONT DO IT ! Not to sound morbid, but I've been involved in both rescue from tanks as well as body recovery from them. There are ways to do this. It's not worth your life.
Same Here
Just a tip, landing gears on semi trailers are normally rated at 50,000#. But I think you had the right idea with cribbing under the king pin plate. Never hurts to cya. One idea to save wear and tear on your well pump is to use rain water. If any of your sheds have gutters, hooking onto them and diverting water to the tanks would get more than you need very quickly. One inch of rain gives you just under 3quarts per square foot of roof area. A couple spring rains and they would be full. I did that off my shop roof, a couple years ago I had 10,000 gallons from 3 rains. The only issue is leaves in the gutters, but if you dont have trees nearby, it isn't an issue. If you did have leaves, a filter can be made from a 5 gallon plastic bucket and cheap 5 gallon paint strainers. They worked great for my rainwater setup. Just some ideas, good luck. The best part of it was it is all gravity, no electricity required to fill the tanks.
Makes me happy our milk tanks are 12,000 gallon smoothbore stainless tank trailers. No baffles, always clean.
Hello friend, on the back/rear of a brake pot there is a bolt called a caging bolt that is to keep the emergency spring side compressed. When I measure my push rods after old pot uninstalled I will apply air to the service side with a airline with a shutoff valve/handle to both the old and new pot, that pushes the push rod out to it's max length so you get a bang on measurement. Also you had it right at first after installing the brake pot and installed your pins and air lines, remove the caging bolt make sure you release your park brake after chocking the wheels. Then do a brake adjustment, going all the way tight with the slack adjuster then backing off half a turn, will give you 1 ½" stoke. Cheers! Keep up the good vids! And hard work!
I’m claustrophobic and I get goose bumps on my arms when you go in these tanks 😀😀😀😀😀
An ideal man indeed.. Thank you for every hard work you did.. And thank you for the food we eat..
Thank you very much Larson Farm for feeding me and my wife, and my cats!
That was rough watching you do that brake chamber...I was yelling at the screen by the end....the old saying you gonna learn today...
It amazes me how much knowledge is required to maintain all the farm equipment!
Thank you Dougo for all you do for us
So I will add to the chorus of voices about the tank entry. I have done this professionally onboard oil tankers and its 100% SERIOUS BUSINESS! While you may not have access to all of the gas/oxygen meters we do offshore there is 1 thing you can do to help prevent a serious FATAL accident... ventilate, ventilate, and then ventilate some more. You should do this ANY time you enter a confined space such as a grain bin, tanker, cistern, and such. Don't be shy about it, the more and longer the better! There are lots of things like rust, decomposing manure that consume oxygen, if you or someone working for you enters a space with insufficient oxygen they WILL collapse and start to DIE, and if you try to save them without a source of oxygen YOU WILL DIE TOO! These scenarios are all too common in many industries, do some reading, talk to your workers and make sure you aren't sending someone into a deadly space. If you want help shoot me a message and I will point you in the right direction.
a confined space with possible methane vapors no hole watch posted. At least they are using respirators. I hope they are using organic vapor cartridges!
Thank yall for doing what yall do!!! Yall do put food on everyones table as farmers
As a welder myself, I am loosing my $h!+ watching you guys work in that tank. Please take a tank/ inclosed area safety coarse. All I am going to say lol.
with all that rust and then the torch use in the confined space I half expected someone to go down - thank god it all worked out.
I hear ya man, I pulled a tanker for 10 years & worked around the yard & Tank Wash. I thought maybe they would at least check Oxygen Levels, but NOPE!!! Not Even. SCARY.
You really need to learn about the hazards of confined space
@@Cap513 Agreed, Oxidation = oxygen depletion
I was having a mild panic attack watching these guys in that tank. Even if they were set up to do a rescue, If someone did go down it would be a nightmare trying to get a guy out that hole.
THANK YOU!!!!!! FOR FEED USE.
congrats on 50k guys! vids entertaining as per usual!
Enjoyed this video thumbs up guys !!!! THANKS
I I've done plenty Maxi replacements they won't necessarily kill ya but it will leave a lasting mark , when i was a applicator and we had many issues with the pin seizing up in between the slack and the yoke on the can so i would keep that little pin well lubed with antiseize several times a season on our old 1803 terragator 👍
I listened to the Off The Husk last night. Sounded like a lot of fun. It was great finding out more about you and your family. I loved it. Great job!!!
big tip that would have saved you alot of time doing the brake chambers instead of compressing the spring by hand just go release the brakes and theyll compress
Great video thanks again
Let 'er buck! I haven't heard that one for ages. My husband welds large tanks for a living. I'm sure he would have a few words of wisdom like the other welders who have commented. Or he would just shake his head from side-to-side and walk away! From years back, I know he's said there's a buddy system for enclosed tanks. He had to take a safety course at work.
wow what a job cleaning that tank out great job, very interesting watching your videos is like going on an adventure it's great
Looks like fun cleaning out the tank😂. Keep up the good work and great videos.
Great content. Variety. Humor. Behind the scenes. Not all glamorous, clean shop, high dollar. 👍🏻👍🏻
The landing gear gear should hold up the trailer when it’s full, Randy from Vt
You are right a pit in the shop and I would also put in a nice overhead crain that can run the full length of the shop.
Great job Chet always great content now that’s a holding tank
I think you should look at some of the OSHA requirements for confined space entry. I grew up on a farm, and I know you have to do what it takes to get the job done. I’m not trying to be a safety nazi, but you don’t want someone to get hurt or worse while inside the tank. Think about how you would get someone out of the tank if they were to pass out for some reason. I would consider having a rescue rope and dedicated attendant at the hatch. I would also consider using an O2 sensor to monitor the air inside the tank if you’re using the cutting torch.
Chet not sure how far away the lift station is from the farm??? Is it possible to put a holding tank and pump for a water supply for the sprayers??
I worked for a company hauling liquid manure for nine years. Durring the time one winter i was inside all 11 tanks putting a huge 8 inch discharge pipes through the tanks, and up the front and a spreader on the rear.
Good video, you'll need to follow better safety methods, as everyone has mentioned. I would have used a saws all to cut the pipe, no gas fumes.
They have a hevy duty commecial gilmour 3/4" I.D. hose, open then ends for winter. IT should help the flow also if the hose is y'd off with a regular splitter, it cuts your flow by 50%. Gilmour sells a full flow Y and Full flow shuoff if you put one by the tank. That should improve the flow rate pending the well output. Tanks a lot for the video!
Old tank looks great.....I would make a cover for the top to keep all sunlight out and keep algae from growing inside that tank though since you guys did such a great job getting it cleaned out. Going to be warm soon....can't wait to get rolling. Once again another great vid. Keep em coming! 👍👍👍👍👍
Keep out the critters too !!🦝🐀
Great video! I would tie your lid open so the wind won’t catch it and break your fittings, if you haven’t already. Keep up the great work!
Nice video of working on the tank
Wow! You have to be kidding me. We farm in Northwest Washington and we sunk a 12 inch well casing down 100 feet to pump irrigation water from. Its plugged into an aquafier and has never run dry no matter what time of the year. We use a tractor pto driven 4 inch pump and can fill our water truck lickity split. I cant imagine using a garden hose to fill a 6,500 gallon tank.
Great video why not put a fan in the pit to keep you cool JMO 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you use a heat gun on your hose next time it will slide together easier Chet keep the awesome videos coming
Good water setup.
That American 🇺🇸 in the shop is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What about a rain water collection off of the huge shop roof? You can divert it from a down spout into your tanks.
Wow! Break cheers in Houston are $35.00-$45.00. Mylanta do they get you guys on parts. I bout 4 for what you paid for 1. Ouch. Bless your heart man..
seems pretty dangerous to go into a tank without any personal air supply. Lots of folks have died that way,
Yup
totally confined space. not hating here but its definitely a life threatening situation especially with tank being previous waste tank.
Thanks
Iv always wanted to now how things go on the forms I live in Iowa but I can't drive so I can't go see it so I like whating you because you show people every thing you do thank you
Hey Chet. I’m interested to know what you guys use for your pressure wash system? I see you’ve got plumbing on the wall of wash bay and open and close as you need water. Do you have a hotsy in another room to keep sound down? Or do you use shop boiler to heat water and then use a pressure pump? We are currently looking into building 120x120 shop just trying to get ideas.
Use spray silicone when putting that pipe together. Works good and not as messy
So your using that as a water carrier for the sprayer is that correct? If so, Are you not concerned about plugging all the fine filters on your sprayers?
We have a few filters to fix that problem we got the tank really clean
You should really get a 3" pipe hook a good squirrel cage floor fan to it so you can keep air flowing into those confined spaces....
I had the same thought.
My thoughts too.
And use a porta band saw to cut the pipe.
Seen the inside of a many sludge tanks myself. Where's your confined space entry permit? :P It's a thankless job, but paying it out to a vendor is unnecessary. You may want to find a way to block the light coming in that dome, to prevent any algae. Nothing worse than plugged nozzles. Cheers.
Wow you got a lot done!!!
Step one when putting it back together is get the slack adjuster hooked up first. Then the two bolts that hold it on to the frame. Then the air lines.
That tank is a confined space entry under OSHA
Chet i thought that was Mike Rowe from (Dirty jobs) coming out of the tank but alas it was the Big Swede . I agree with Matthew in a way I think Larson Farms and Millennial Farmer are both excellent channels Zack has his own way of doing his content Chet you have yours . I think both are exceptional channels keep up the great work .
Please get a gas monitor for that man in the tank, a fall protection harness with SRL lanyard and a rescue device. I’ve been in the bulk tank truck industry for 15 years and can think of 4 separate incidents around the South where men have died making entry to bulk tanks. You may say it’s been cleaned - by your own admission that man went in to do more cleaning. Even clean tanks must be treated as a high risk entry. Also have someone watching that man trained in the use of a rescue device. Y’all are really rolling the dice here. A couple thousand dollars, some training and a different approach is cheap when it comes to someone’s life.
Awesome video and no bitching from me! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You guys should utilize all that shed roof as a water catch for rain and use it to feed tanks when possible. Dryer yard, smaller electric bill and longer well pump life.
That is a nice job on the tanker it should work good
You should cut a hole in the manway lid and weld in a coupler, that way you don’t end up with dead birds and critters in your tank. Just make sure that vent behind the manway works lol.
Air brakes are easy if you pay attention
Lots of companies make brake pots some even put other people’s names on them
Don’t pay for the name
Buy the correct size
Cut the plunger to the correct length
Screw on your clevis hook up your air lines
Important chalk your wheels so your machine will not roll very important
Step
Now release the air park brake
Now remove the spring tool form the back of the the pot
Their is a sleeve on the side of the break pot to store that tool for future use
Store it
Now check how much travel you have
Speck is 3/4” to 1 1/2”
Adjust your slack adjusters
So that when you push the brake pedal you have no more than 1.5 inches
And you are good to go
What a very interesting new angle for your show. Well done. To you Larson Farmers, may I say for the Republic that we appreciate all you do; we love you for doing it; we hope and Pray you will continue to feed the country and Three cheers for you and also praying for $6/bushel corn :). You might want to invest in a sauna to deep clean all that pig poop out of your systems and build it near one of those lakes you are famous for. It will make the cold dip easier and better than a cold shower or hosing off.
Really enjoyed this video. You guys can always see the funny side of whatever you are doing. Hey, a great video will be when Nicole finally gives you a haircut. Can't wait for that one!!
Parents raised you right. Getting it done.
You needed to adjust the slack adjuster with the parking brakes off
you don't need to adjust slack adjusters anymore.
@@scottgadberry1377 I think he meant set it up....
@@scottgadberry1377 only if you have auto slack adjusters. Even with auto slacks, you need to keep an eye on them. They aren't perfect.
@Scott Gadberry When replacing a brake chamber, you do have to adjust the brakes to make sure they are within spec. It may be close, but why not make sure it is correct.
A farm equipment tour would be cool if you ever get the spare time to do one
yes. that Caging Bolt does let you take that chamber apart. But, for safety, they have made that a sealed chamber, due to many accidents. That is your Park Brake part of the braking system. The spring that is housed within, is loaded with 27,000 PSI. Never attempt to disassemble it.
I have some Swedish fish candy for the Swede this Easter.
Love the oil change pit you have, great for that and repairs underneath equipment. Do you have retractable grates or does it stay open all the time?
Open all the time normally always have something over it
Good job
Great 👍 video , would you do a video on your service truck it looks nice ?
With all the roofline you have maybe use a rainwater capture system for filling the tank. That or a tile water capture system.
Hi chet.Got a question for you how many acres is your farm over there . Im from australia .
God Bless Farmers.
what is your name I am a farmer and I love your videos.
Good idea on how that tank can be useful
Watching you work at the end there shows me how much high school has corrupted my mind😂
He was home schooled you can tell to he is rely good at everything he does
Love videos Thankyou
Have Nicole give you a haircut!
There’s no way I would go inside that tank! Especially such a tight fit.
great video keep them coming
Do you bring the sprayers back to the yard to fill them? That trailer in the field would get a lot of spraying done
Trailer it to the field.
Hey, thanks for feeding us!!!!
Does the drain from the wash bay drain into a septic type system? Or just outside somewhere?
I just full of comments today i cannot understand this so gotta ask. Why do huge farms do that fill them huge water tanks with a garden hose. Why they do not go to a field where is a sizable big water body that does not dry up. And drill a huge hole like a pile drill makes and put in a perferated culvert with a pump to fill the tanks. Could use a way bigger pump ect.
Being just a water tanker and the tank isn’t jacketed... why not add a decent sized manhole and a vent on each end for circulating air through when you need to clean that tank again.
at 10:07 when the Teflon tape disappeared, did cole the corn star grab it for his draw of teflon tape.
Always get a thumbs up, sometimes even before I watch.
“That’s just rust right?”... nonchalant smell test. “I wouldn’t say that.” High quality comedy there :)
I always get a good laugh from their vids.. fun stuff 😎
My family would love to put in a mechanics pit!! We are constantly under cars!!
What kind of float did you install in your water tanker
