I love how Eric makes chet look like he doesn't do much. Brody makes Eric look like he doesn't do much. And Chris makes them all look like they are slacking.
@@bigteddy66 And try to get the hard bars and such moved away as much as possible: always put a foot forward to catch you when pushing and try to avoid hitting your head when the wrench slips off when pulling.
Please get Erik back in front of the Camera in the office Professional atmosphere. Natural talent and makes it actually easier to understand when he’s explaining that stuff compared to some of the others iv seen going over it. Thank you.
Dougo. What a great team you have in Chet and Eric and Brody and of course Chris when he's there. These guys definitely know what they are doing! Larson Farm is the BEST!
@@mickdemi6 wouldn´t use a sleeve on a press-fit bearing, when you have to press that bearing out you´re gonna hate your life because the sleeve can come with it.
For the coverboards, you could try welding some V's before the bolt heads, but with hard surfacing. We do the same on some wear plates of dozer blades and surfaces that wear away on excavator buckets.
Congrats to Chet & Jean Marie. Chet, you were putting some serious pressure on that 1/2" breaker and you saw how it bent, You should have gone straight for the 3/4" breaker straight away and you would have done a Chris... Thicker is better when it comes to tillage .
On your digger bolt problem. After installing the shields, weld the bolt heads and then cut a piece of 1/4 inch 2x5 inch plate and weld over the top of the bolts as a wear plate. That will provide you a longer use out of the shields, given, you may need to periodically replace the 1/4 inch wear plates but you will get more use out of them.
That is a SUPER THIN handle on the 1/2" ratchet. He is braver than me putting that puch power behind a toothpick. I envisioned my knuckes transforming to ground meat if that snapped
Get a junkyard Electromagnet and sweep your fields while doing spring tillage. Youll find the shanks and cutter wheels you lost, with the staples and screws from the building pieces from storms and Derecho's. 4:57
For stuck nuts like one on the ripper I have for years used a torch to heat the nut up, get the nut cherry red and let it sit until cold and you will be able to remove it by hand, It's called fretting
I have hard surfaced around the bolts on covering boards it does help. On the John Deere rippers it’s cheaper to buy a complete ripper and just rob parts off it vs buying individual parts
My dad had an electric motor sales and repair shop in northeast Iowa when I was a kid. He did lots of work for the farmers besides just motors. When they would bring in a part like that hub where the race of the bearing had spun he had a large metal lathe. Depending on the situation he could use a knurling tool for internal or external uses and the bearing could be made snug again in the hub, or on the spindle. Sometimes he would use the welder, build up the surface and then turn it to the exact size needed for a repair. He was a very good machinist, welder, electrician, and fabricator. Some of the engineers at John Deere were good friends with dad, they'd come by the shop with an idea and dad would help them out.
Cover the inspection pit especially when everyone is working on projects not paying attention where they walk or back up. Sounds petty but I have seen injuries. We don’t want anyone hurt.
Just a thought, but I should have set the tile plow down in the pit, so I don't have to stand on a ladder to work on the feed tire..just I outside observation and idea I'm not there
who would have thought that all that education you have would apply to farming but if someone can do it better I want to know it great job aric and great job Chet bringing him into your family and your friend for life be safe all god bless
Cant speak about the John Deere ones but we hard surface the CASE ones. Helps with the dirt and protects the shanks longer. Points are easy to change but changing the assembly isn't.
Depending on how much pressure there is on that tire you might be able to fill that small tire with expanding foam insulation. We do our wheelbarrow tire that way.
Number one thing people need to understand, we each do things differently to achieve the same results. Those plow bolts shouldn't be wearing that fast, I mean, think about it, back when we all moldboard plowed, those bolts lasted a very very long time.
I saw a clip somewhere that the person used spray foam in a wheelbarrow tire to fix a flat, maybe that might work when you get another flat on the tile plow wheel. they drilled two or three holes right through the tread and inserted the nozzle. maybe use the type that doesn't get super hard.
I’m a machinist at a factory that pings things all the time to get press and uses lock tight quite often so I don’t think you shortcut anything with the hub. I also would just try some standard grade 8 bolts on those cover boards and just see how long they last. And maybe like one guy in the comments said to hard surface weld below to deflect dirt.
Weld some lumps in front of the bolt heads and do with the ones that are on the plow now. It's a lot cheaper to keep welding lumps on in the fall. Pieces of rubber inner tubes and zip ties can be used to wrap and fix a lot of things
We have had the same issues on our hilling spades for making potato rows and found get yourself some narrow shank teeth with same bolt pattern put longer bolts in them and put them right over the spade as a wear edge and bolts are counter sunk better in narrow teeth
Try using hard facing wire to make a square around the bolt head, it should capture dirt over the head and become an armor over the bolt head. then when you go to remove the bolts you dont need to grind them out after, just punch em through the dirt. Its similar to the checkered pattern of hard facing they do on the side of digging buckets, pack in dirt to protect the side of the buckets form erosion
Great video all way around….real life experience from high tech programming by Eric to mechanical diagnosis and repair by Chris the human impact wrench.
I never had much luck centerpunching behind a bearing race, they just seem to spin anyways. I take a truck battery charger and put a hacksaw blade on one clamp and scratch around inside the hub. You are actually depositing metal rather than just displacing metal. On those molleboards once you have them installed, take the wire feed and try running a bead from top to bottom right across the bolt heads. It will hold the molleboard tight preventing the bolt from pulling thru and give additional wear material right where its needed.
Swede - you don’t need adaptive curves in the opcenter - all you need to do is to choose boundary track straight in the monitor in the tractor (jD only) it will then calculate a track around your field with the correct distance offset to your field boundary based on your implement width. It’s real easy and very precise if you use RTK.
How many agree Chris needs to be full time team member!!
I think he's going to be.
Good guy if you keep swede off there, channel will be worth watching
He is funny!
Seem like really good dude
Chris Strong!
Chris sure looks like he knows what he is doing and no complaining.
😂 heck he has a great sense of humour, seems a nice fit for the farm.
I'll second that
Love big Swede love how he explain stuff going on
Think Chris has done it a time or too😊
I love how Eric makes chet look like he doesn't do much. Brody makes Eric look like he doesn't do much. And Chris makes them all look like they are slacking.
😂😂😂😂
Chris has a great wit and sense of humor. Hope he hangs around for a while 👍👍
New guy from Iowa is great addition
Chet and Eric are dressed in sweats and Chris is wearing a sleeveless t shirt. Minnesota boys don't like the cold !!!!
Must say the force Chris was pushing on the breaker bar was quite scary cause if it broke well those of you who know you know 😬
Yep nothing sharp in front if you're pushing or behind if you're pulling.
@@bigteddy66 And try to get the hard bars and such moved away as much as possible: always put a foot forward to catch you when pushing and try to avoid hitting your head when the wrench slips off when pulling.
I got to say that Chris seems to have some serious machine repair skills.
Chris seems to be a pretty good hand.
A hand is so insulting
Chris is a good man, and good for your brand.
Please get Erik back in front of the Camera in the office Professional atmosphere. Natural talent and makes it actually easier to understand when he’s explaining that stuff compared to some of the others iv seen going over it. Thank you.
Chris fits right in with the rest of you guys!! Love your videos
Dougo. What a great team you have in Chet and Eric and Brody and of course Chris when he's there. These guys definitely know what they are doing! Larson Farm is the BEST!
Chris is hilarious!! Send ‘er!👍
Chris will keep these boys on their toes.
The bend on that long handle ratchet was impressive. Great Video
Need to keep Chris. Put him in more videos
FARM is a 4 letter word!
So is LOVE
❤😂❤
LOVE Farmers, Families & I T😂
I vote to make Chris full time. He’s a keeper! Good video. 👍❤️
We need more Chris!!!!!!
Chris seems like a real good fit for the team. I hope he sticks around for a while.
I definitely agree with Chris's shirt. 😂
You could also take the hub to a machine shop get her welded up and machined back to size.
Or get a sleeve made
@@mickdemi6 wouldn´t use a sleeve on a press-fit bearing, when you have to press that bearing out you´re gonna hate your life because the sleeve can come with it.
You need to go to 3/4" breaker bar that 1/2" was flexing big time, lucky it did not break
For the coverboards, you could try welding some V's before the bolt heads, but with hard surfacing. We do the same on some wear plates of dozer blades and surfaces that wear away on excavator buckets.
You guys should convert that press to air operation it would make it so much easier.
I put and air jack in mine,works good and you can stand back a few feet in case anything comes flying out
Congrats to Chet & Jean Marie. Chet, you were putting some serious pressure on that 1/2" breaker and you saw how it bent, You should have gone straight for the 3/4" breaker straight away and you would have done a Chris... Thicker is better when it comes to tillage .
Or just a 1/2 braker bar not long ratchet
Chris sure does have a gentle touch when required, hell of a good hand to have around!!!!
Maybe weld a strap to the head of the bolts and hard surface that? Chris seems to be a great addition to your team. 👍🏻
Just as well you have a " Heated Studio" to make your videos. 😅😊😅
Congratulations on your marriage Chet.😊
I like this guy Chris he needs to be hired on full time. He is the muscle that you really need

That will provide you a longer use out of the shields, given, you may need to periodically replace the 1/4 inch wear plates but you will get more use out of them.
Keep chris on full time he is a good member of the team!
Why don’t you have a screen over the grease pit when not in use? I always fear that someone is going to fall into it while backing up.
someday.......
The Swede is very informational !! Well done!
That is a SUPER THIN handle on the 1/2" ratchet. He is braver than me putting that puch power behind a toothpick. I envisioned my knuckes transforming to ground meat if that snapped
Chris is the star of the channel.
Get a junkyard Electromagnet and sweep your fields while doing spring tillage. Youll find the shanks and cutter wheels you lost, with the staples and screws from the building pieces from storms and Derecho's. 4:57
If you had a head camera or chest camera you would be able to help your men much better and safer. I like good help when we are working. Thanks
For stuck nuts like one on the ripper I have for years used a torch to heat the nut up, get the nut cherry red and let it sit until cold and you will be able to remove it by hand, It's called fretting
A half inch breaker bar isn't intended for a lock nut they size either.
Keep Chris in the videos because he funny and he is a great guy and asset to the videos and the farm
I have hard surfaced around the bolts on covering boards it does help. On the John Deere rippers it’s cheaper to buy a complete ripper and just rob parts off it vs buying individual parts
When Chris puts his muscles to something, Chet covers his eyes in fear! 😆
Chris must have more “pound-feet” putting that torque to use.

I had thought I'd seen that done on the lathe before, but I'm not a machinist.
Tudo bem tudo bom tudo joia beleza ❤👍
Can we see more Chris and his great shirts? I love how he made it look so easy to break those bolts loose and make Chet look weak, lmao!
Cover the inspection pit especially when everyone is working on projects not paying attention where they walk or back up. Sounds petty but I have seen injuries. We don’t want anyone hurt.

Chet Dougo Eric Chris great job good explanations from all of you great video never miss one thank you.
Always learn something from you Chet.
great to see you and all new guys working with yall keep it up
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHET and Dougo 😊
That rattle wrench is bending ^^ Halve jobs done right safe money.
I had to ping the hub and use sleeve retainer on my front hubs for my oliver.....since parts aren't readily available you do what you have to.
lock tight the bearing in the hub works as long as heat doesn’t melt the lock tight
Just hardface a circle around the bolt holes. Don’t weld in the bolts, they will overheat from the welding and break as soon as they get stressed.
Loctite 660 retaining compound for your bearing in the oversized hub
Yes get Chris on board
Chris was awesome! I love this shirts.
Congratulations on your wedding nice pictures
Cant speak about the John Deere ones but we hard surface the CASE ones. Helps with the dirt and protects the shanks longer. Points are easy to change but changing the assembly isn't.
I have an idea…..either paint all your ripper shanks bright orange or buy orange rippers so you can see them before they do more damage to equipment.
That breaker bar has a little flex when Chris leans on it! 😂
Yep, weld up with hard facing wire when new to deflect the soil away from the exposed bolt heads.
Great cause Erik! #LestersFeetFoundation
Depending on how much pressure there is on that tire you might be able to fill that small tire with expanding foam insulation. We do our wheelbarrow tire that way.
That's how we did our batwing tires.
Number one thing people need to understand, we each do things differently to achieve the same results.
Those plow bolts shouldn't be wearing that fast, I mean, think about it, back when we all moldboard plowed, those bolts lasted a very very long time.
You should take a drone out and fly up and down the field to find the missing discs. Thanks Mike from Nebraska.
Weld a bolt to the back side of the board for mounting that way no matter the wear on the front it will be welded on the back
I saw a clip somewhere that the person used spray foam in a wheelbarrow tire to fix a flat, maybe that might work when you get another flat on the tile plow wheel. they drilled two or three holes right through the tread and inserted the nozzle. maybe use the type that doesn't get super hard.
Need a speed sleeve for the hub
I’m a machinist at a factory that pings things all the time to get press and uses lock tight quite often so I don’t think you shortcut anything with the hub. I also would just try some standard grade 8 bolts on those cover boards and just see how long they last. And maybe like one guy in the comments said to hard surface weld below to deflect dirt.
Hardened welding up the length of the boards and weld the bolts in and cover with plenty hardened weld. Done it works a treat.
I couldn't resist the geek urge - I took a screenshot of those coordinates and located them on Google Maps.greetings from Dublin
Merry Christmas to your family and crew
You should makes some plates to cover the pit too. That way you won't have nightmares of the big sweed falling in with the cat lift. 😱
Chet you want to hard plate around the bolt don't weld or do anything to the bolt it will effect the temper and the bolts will wear and break easier
Big Guy is competent, keep him.
Weld some lumps in front of the bolt heads and do with the ones that are on the plow now. It's a lot cheaper to keep welding lumps on in the fall. Pieces of rubber inner tubes and zip ties can be used to wrap and fix a lot of things
Merry Christmas, Chad Larson
6" piece of 5/8 rebar across both bolts should help keep them good for the year then just replace rebar much cheaper
Great haircut Chet!
We have had the same issues on our hilling spades for making potato rows and found get yourself some narrow shank teeth with same bolt pattern put longer bolts in them and put them right over the spade as a wear edge and bolts are counter sunk better in narrow teeth
The New Broom always sweeps Cleaner. B/S and Brody.

Good suggestion..
Good luck on the wearing on bolts we yet to figure that out
Great video all way around….real life experience from high tech programming by Eric to mechanical diagnosis and repair by Chris the human impact wrench.
Try welding tungsten tiles up front off plates in front off bolt holes 1:24
Chris for president!
There is strong and then there is Chris strong!
Yes that is what you do you have to preheat and use hard surface
Stoody 31 Hard Surface , Excellent
All of you guys do great work!
Big Sweede you are correct on your thinking !
You can get harsh surfacing wire for your welder. Then put on a good layer all way up ower your bolts
I never had much luck centerpunching behind a bearing race, they just seem to spin anyways. I take a truck battery charger and put a hacksaw blade on one clamp and scratch around inside the hub. You are actually depositing metal rather than just displacing metal.
On those molleboards once you have them installed, take the wire feed and try running a bead from top to bottom right across the bolt heads. It will hold the molleboard tight preventing the bolt from pulling thru and give additional wear material right where its needed.
Put a high bead of weld below each bolt to keep dirt from wearing head
Great job Chris, show them what a Iowa boy can do!
Swede - you don’t need adaptive curves in the opcenter - all you need to do is to choose boundary track straight in the monitor in the tractor (jD only) it will then calculate a track around your field with the correct distance offset to your field boundary based on your implement width.
