Come on. We've ALL done it. What's your best redneck ingenuity? Video isn't mine, but I've done this one:



Just don't stand in front of it!

Watched some dudes here in town at a tire shop do that with propane on a tractor tire. First they heaped GLOBS of axel grease all inside the bead.

Hit it with a torch and B O O M !!

when that bead seated, them dudes had hunks of grease the size of pork chops in there hair and beards. 😐😐🤣🤣🤣

If that's Redneck ingenuity,
you so t seen nothing yet.


That's standard procedure in any tire shop that mounts truck or implement tires.
Now days, the fancy places have a Cheetah.

Hahahaha Does it work?

So
I bought a nice 16 ft Lund up by Detroit 10 hrs from home one time. Went to get it mid December drove up stopped about 5 hours from home so she could Christmas shop the next day(Saturday) woke up to snow cold and wind. We got up drove 2 more hours to outside of Chicago decided what hotel to stop at and just as i pulled up to stoplight i felt a slight bam. Figured someone rear ended me with slick roads but,,,,, no cars in sight. So i pulled up to hotel and something didn’t look right. And after investigating the bam was the right side leaf spring broke. here i am Saturday afternoon 3 hours from home nothing open. Unhooked the boat went dropped her off, proceeded to N_____ rig it.
Bought a leaf spring but the bolts were all froze(imagine that) so i bought a 4x4 and a 2x4 and a hand saw. Cut the 4x4 to fit between the frame and spring, shaved a little piece off 2x4 to wedge in, ratchet strapped the axle to the cross ember pulling broke sping back together then ratchet strapped the spring 4x4 to the frame. Told her if i get around the block and it doesn’t come apart we heading home. And 4 hours later i pulled into driveway

Years ago I knew a fellow who deer hunted with an old rusty 12 gauge single-shot using slugs. He had taken J-B Weld and formed a rear sight. He used a triangle file to fine tune a groove in it to get it to shoot slugs to point of aim. I took him to the club range when I went to check that my rifle was still sighed in and he let me shoot 2-3 slugs though his shotgun at a 100 yard target. I was amazed how well it shot.

I'd hire this guy in a second. He's ready to go to work.

Yep.

That's not redneck. That's been the way you inflate stubborn tires since they came out with tubeless tires. I took a job in a shop mounting tires in 1986 and that's one of the first things the old timers taught me. Squirt ether in it then stand back a few feet and toss a lit match at it.

Working night shift on a very cold winter night and was parked in a used car lot “observing traffic” when an old beater pulled up to the stop sign and died. The driver got out, opened the trunk and pulled out a battery charger and an extension cord. He walked over to the car lot’s portable sign, unplugged it, plugged in his battery charger then hooked it to his battery and started the car. He closed the hood, plugged the sign back in, threw everything back in the trunk and drove away.

Aqua Net for the win....

Ether to seat tires? Shoot, I think I was 14 the first time I done that.
Had a Beagle who got into a porcupine once. The Old Man knocked her out with ether on a rag and pulled the quills.
We filled my buddies swimming pool using a dump truck lined with a big blue tarp outta the creek. Had a pump on the tailgate of a pickup. Backed the dump truck and the pickup up to the creek connected the hoses, and fired up the pump. Reversed the process at the pool.
Built a “Beer, Bait & Ammo Buggy” by welding bicycle front forks on a steel refrigerator body.
You could haul two big coolers of beer, lanterns, rods, and tackle boxes for fishing in the Potomac River on the Tow path of the C&O Canal. ( if you’re gonna do this, add some gussets inside the body, or stay off steep banks)

Starting fluid and a match, seat atv tires in the woods. Don't ask how I know.

Pop volunteered to mow the Church greave yard. He hated the flowers that blew out of the little urns beside the tombstones, took a long time to pick up before he could mow.

When Mon passed away, he took the roll of high dollar stainless steel wire I gave him to make snares with and wired her flowers in so they would not blow out...

That's not Redneck, that's just stupid.

Have used acetylene, just don't use too much,
