Black Widow Spiders Everywhere! Let's Clean This Mess Up!

[@davidtaylor2866]

You can weld them together and make jackstands out of them for your cars down in the field

[@Chudhole]

And one or two air hose stands. I’m sure Ralph would enjoy the welding!

[@bigdaddy741098]

I hope this gets more likes so they might see it because both of you have good suggestions. There's probably all sorts of projects on YT that Ralphie could find.

[@richardS730]

I made little fire pits out of the old ones I had

[@007tlucas]

good idea

[@codywiggins9659]

Make fire pits all kinda stuff

[@michaeldavis8249]

You should use the old tires for a backdrop stacked them up and filled them full of dirt for shooting range

[@jetknight7562]

Sleeperdude family has the best friendly videos 📹 ❤️ bless their hearts 🙏

[@muleskiner25]

I started in the tire business in 1976 till 2003 this video brings back fond memories of water, mud, and lord knows what in old tires.

[@Blgrsslvr]

Glad to have a Sleeperdude video on a weekday!You working that tire machine reminded me of my early 20's of years ago working in a full service gas station.I changed and mounted many a tire in 6 years there!Keep up the great videos,as they always are!

[@alynwilson5694]

Love the video! Great content and its a good idea to keep the Casings and other stuff around the homestead cleaned up. Stuff like that is breading grounds for mosquitoes and snakes...

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yes for sure

[@secondchairmm]

This takes me back! I worked in the tire industry for many many moons and I could tell you many stories of all the items and critters I have found in tires during that time. It is a good workout breaking them down, especially the big rig wheels and tires. That tire machine is such a blessing. I know it feels better having everything cleaned up! Thanks for sharing!

[@budyfixit]

THAT DOES IT! I'm inspired to do some fall spring cleaning in the pole barn!

[@ChrisCurran-o7d]

Back in the 70s, I used to use a bumper jack to break the bead pain in the ass, but it worked

[@jeffmooers2174]

50 years ago my "after high school" job was breaking down tires for a small tire store. Their business model was to buy several hundred junk take offs from the wrecking yards, and then pay us youngsters 3.00/hr to take them apart and separate the trashed/ from the recap casing/ from the resale used tire. I also learned to use a regrooving iron tool to put some extra service life in them, however sketchy!

[@TRS-80Fanclub]

sounds like a good cash grab for a teen. better than my summer job. loading / hauling / Stacking hay at 15 cents a bail. took me all day to make 20 bucks of the hottest dirtiest job I have ever done.

[@Rollormotor]

So glad you got a casing machine, watching you struggle with the pallet manual tool was painful. Too bad Rocky had to loose his castle but I'm sure he will find a new castle with the good casings and hoops. I spent a lot of time working a casing machine at my fathers service station as a young man. brings back good memories, never had that much water inside because they came off running cars

[@1980bwc]

When you dismount the casings, put the bare hoop on your balancer. Give it a spin with your hand and watch it. That will give you a good look at it, to easily see how true, or how warped it is. I worked at the county Co-op Tire Center [couldnt say "casing" there. The word "Tire" was in the name of the joint 😂] for alot of years. Some days, it was all day, 7:00-5:00, spent at the mounting & balancing machines, mounting up new sets of casings for customers. I used that technique alot on hoops, if customers were complaining about vibrations goin down the road, and i couldnt find any problems by simply looking at them.

[@jstar1000]

The water and mosquitos being gone =win.

[@charlesroberts6965]

That was some marathon tire work... definitely got a great deal of machine time breaking them down..but at the end of the day truly felt accomplished. Great job getting things organized and cleaned up. That machine will definitely earn it's keep. As always cool content and appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎👨‍🔧🛠️🇺🇲🧰😇👍

[@williampalmer8052]

That Sears tire at 1:28 brings back some memories. I'd keep that one and make a tire swing or something out of it.

[@bradrobert6574]

black widows from a man that runs flops year round

[@userer4579]

The fire ants are a greater hazard.

[@MikeekiM-vh5se]

I woke up with a Black Widow Spider on my chest!!! My wife gently woke me up, it was on my chest as it stood out as my shirt was light gray. What is more amazing is she was calm and quiet usually she freaks out lol...Anyways, she woke me up then she hit my chest with full force, and I swear she lightly bruised my ribs (chest was sore for over 1 week after). I can't blame her, oh well...at least the spider was gone afterwords. I guess she does care about me! This was at my brother's house in Boulder City, Nevada a few years ago. Stay Safe, nice to see family videos. Albeit when you say casings and especially "hoops" it makes me laugh. Tires and wheels for myself, oh well.. Nobody's perfect!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome job! Getting rid of what is no good! Thanks for sharing!❤😊

[@sleeperdude2690]

Thanks for watching

[@GlennWarren-s1c]

I really enjoy watching your shows. I think it's great that your kids likes helping you with your cars. I think it's an awesome family show.

[@sleeperdude2690]

Thank you

[@richwood8650]

So unexpected, yet here it is!! Tuesday perfection. Lovin it!

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yay! Thank you!

[@johntatum1951]

Pray you and your family stay safe and healthy and nobody gets bit by a black widow spider....scary stuff and hope the animals do not get bit either...God bless!

[@dcallan812]

Oh BONUS Thanks SD family you guys are great 2x👍

[@sleeperdude2690]

Our pleasure!

[@Joemantler]

I have a nephew in the Water Utility Business. He says Black Widows are in nearly every water meter or access box he looks at.

[@brettjones5041]

Good Job Mates You got to keep the junk clear with all the automotive work repair you mates do

[@eagleattucson]

WOW!! Really nice to get rid of the old casings. 👍👍

[@davidlinck7459]

Great job. That sure was a lot of tires and rims.. You guys.. Looking good.. Love the channel.. Great videos..👍🙂🙏🏻

[@sleeperdude2690]

Thank you so much 😀

[@H_O_Boyz]

7:08 😂😂😂 forget squeezing lemons idk what this is called 😂😂😂

[@danielventura8073]

Here in Florida we have the Brown Recluse spider. I used to worry about my dogs getting bitten but fortunately that never happened. My big boy Shepherd-Lab got stung by a bee on his ear, a little vinegar and baking soda solution took the pain away. His daddy got many thank you kisses after that.

[@JohnBaker-ks8rd]

To remove the whole valve stem quick and esay, grab it with a pair of channel locks and pry it out , one hard pry againt the outside the rim and out it comes, and u tire weights are reuseable

[@JohnBaker-ks8rd]

@donnywenner4998 come with only a 8 grade education, i had to go to work

[@Axyl00Druss]

Hey Josh, you should think about dumping some dirt or pebbles along the sides your driveway to reduce that bump when you have to cross it at 90 deg. It has been a threat to your vehicles and trailers for a long while.

[@troy88311]

You're right Josh I did tires and oil changes for 12 years

[@sleeperdude2690]

👍👍

[@dlyall26]

My cousin has one like that at his tow truck shop, but it's red and almost worn out. He has a new touch screen wheel balancer that has the road load device on it.

[@robertvance1873]

Wow you looked Tire-d, Ole Marge ain't Skeered to lend a hand most would be afraid to break a Nail 😅😂😂😂 Good Lady.

[@dlyall26]

My first black widow I have see here in Indiana was earlier this year when getting my weed eater ready to put string in. I turned it over popped the housing open and there it was.

[@juliesheets2560]

Just an idea... take the hoops and make a fence or some type of art form and let the kids paint them. Great video, keep up the good work ❤

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yeah we could do that

[@brianmessenger]

Here in Australia we have redback spiders, look just like that with a red stripe on the body. Same family of spiders I believe.

[@sleeperdude2690]

Interesting

[@jonrusso4720]

Josh make a tire storage safe house in the old shop and make out of the yard too.and safe too now...

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Here in North Texas I live way out in the country and we have black widows but we also have copperheads, rattlers and all kinds of none poisonous snakes.

[@davewallace8219]

Wow!!!! Critter city!

[@maddiethomas5892]

Wowsers! We don't have Black Widows but we do have Scorpions. Thankfully not a lot! 6:22 Great job, Squeezie! I play basketball, too. Usually guard.

[@sgttombailes3380]

Here in NE GA I have Black Widows in every wood pile, every Well pump house, every water meter, every barn and every dirt basement. I think I'm raising Black Widows~~~😎

[@jammerjen5504]

We live in Southern Oregon, and we found 1 in the house (behind the front door) the other day. We constantly find them outside - and they can get HUGE!!!

[@sleeperdude2690]

Crazy!!

[@johnellis3309]

Yeah usually cats will keep them thin down

[@richgwozdz8580]

It’s like that here in south nj also

[@edsyphan3425]

Yikes! So glad we don’t see a lot of them here in PA, must not like the cold.

[@hanknipper3921]

Another great video y’all! I bet it looks a lot cleaner now

[@grantkoeller8911]

Get sand blaster for rust and repaint steel rims.

[@WilliamWebb-eo9gw]

Was a tire tech for about a year or so.. we had a great shop, good tools, and awesome boss. On rainy days the shop would be soaked like that because everyone discovers they suddenly have bad tires on wet roads.. 🤦‍♂️

[@stevehilliard1495]

Good to see Scooter lately. Murphy is a mess, quite the character

[@douggrunberg]

Thanks!!

[@lindastabell6598]

Woohoo surprise Sleeperdude Tuesday!

[@sleeperdude2690]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@lindastabell6598]

@sleeperdude2690 I always do

[@mariohughes2289]

Just a heads up some newer hoops need to be mounted and removed from the backside. Awesome video Josh thanks for sharing 👍 ❤

[@sleeperdude2690]

Ok thanks

[@andrewsteel7718]

Over here in Australia Black Widow Spiders are called 'Red Backs'. Usually found on outside toilet seats if you're an old Slim Newton fan.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Got a great collection of casings and hoops ,thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@aaronbillbradley7343]

Get Ralphie to weld up some tire racks to mount on the side wall up out of the way!👍🏼

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yeah we need to

[@nojabjonny]

Y'all need to find a welderer who can do good dimes (😊) and make a wheel man statue or garden art from all dem wheels.. maybe do a giveaway for a month of merch sales like cleeta does..

[@leebongirno9670]

Green wheel looks like 55 Chevy. Wish we were closer together.

[@x35mmman]

In Wisconsin the farmers used those tires for weights on the tarp covering the hay barrels

[@Lisa-vq3ow]

I can't believe how many hoops and casings you have. I had no idea you have to pay to scrap casings. I learned something new. My husband said they aren't recyclable. I estimated it would cost you 300 but I was way off. Anyway you made my day with another video ❤

[@YardCars]

Advice from an old casing guy, if you Know there is water in the tire, next time slice the sidewalls open to drain the water. You're welcome Sleeperfolks, Woooo!

[@YardCars]

@@donnywenner4998 Wow harsh words for a you tube comment, this isn't the playground bro, chill..

[@darrenhawken9766]

Nice work , tidying up your yard , take plenty of breaks, don't tyre yourself out 👍💨💨

[@jaedev6]

I used to mount and balance at my brother in laws shop. Loved it!

[@Mikelp73]

Thank you for more, my pup is whining a bit as usual but I appreciate.

[@rockinracer]

A thought, tires can be used as a base for a wall or pad, packed with rocks or dirt buried then covered in concrete. For enbankments or dividers as well.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Sleeperdude family. 😱 Black widows! Good heavens. 🙈 I'm really glad that we don't have these in Germany (at least not yet). 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest something that can be helpful in the future: a) I always keep the somewhat decent tubes to make rubber rings/straps out of them. Cut across (using sturdy scissors) = short rings/straps, cut lengthwise = longer rings/straps. Those free rubber rings/straps are useful for a lot of things. b) I also keep at least one tube to cut rubber washers and seals out of it. Also rubber pieces/patches for several uses. c) Tubes from semi truck ti... uhm... casings are even better because the rubber is thicker and the rings/straps will be wider/bigger and stronger. As always: Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (including all the animals).

[@Axyl00Druss]

SO many maypops!

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yes!!!

Looking forward to seeing the Model T running.

[@sleeperdude2690]

👍👍👍

[@danhard8440]

because you missed your viral oil mishap you should put some cameras up in the shop that always record like the HD security cameras you can get at Sam's Club so that you don't miss the good stuff

[@johnavonyates4105]

The Eastwood casing machine seems to be a good one. Yall sure put it to the test.

[@NovaBill6264]

Awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen

[@stefd68]

A lot of people use the Corvette hoops on GM hot rods. That little Chevy II station wagon would look mighty good with them.

[@waltmarks9720]

That was a lot of work but it was worth it I think 🤔 ❤. Always enjoy your videos Josh keep them coming 😉 😅😊❤

[@sleeperdude2690]

Thank you

[@davida.p.9911]

That's the most black widows I've ever seen....WOW! And I'm scared of spiders (yes, i admit it, i am....im a wimp....lol) and MAN THAT'S A LOT OF CASINGS! It's like the back of a Goodyear store! Too bad scrap rubber isn't valuable. I remember when playgrounds had them half buried and we would walk on them. I heard they're "not safe" for kids anymore, i guess because of the steel belts....i don't know. Kids today miss out on the fun we had. Good job getting it cleaned up! Thanks for sharing! 😎

[@sleeperdude2690]

I know right

[@johnogan2386]

Hey don't forget if you can use in your tubes those will help out quite a bit cuz then that'll make your great rollers you don't have to worry about it going flat so quick

Yes thanks

[@SouthernBoy8478]

I just want to say every time I watch your videos. I keep missing home. Every day goes by. I’m actually originated from Tennessee so I know all the stuff you guys have down there. I’m surprised you don’t just do power stands on the old tires lol I feel bad. I cannot send you guys any money right now, but I’m too busy trying to get my channel going, but keep up the good job. I work on cars on the side once in a blue moon.

[@joehughes7952]

Don't forget you can weld 2 wheels (hoops) together for a junkyard jackstand......welding practice for the dime-roller & still worth something. Our B-Dubs in the high desert are super-sized.....gloves & a hand-held torch are advisable. Best.

[@360RTZoD]

They say you are never more than 5 feet away from a spider. You found them all.

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

Look like what we call Redbacks in Australia, funny enough these little buggers are more deadly than most the big fellas

[@MrMattDat]

I thought it was cool when you got the manual tire installer/bead breaker. I was really good of Eastwood to hook you up! Clean and grease all the moving parts and that tool should last!

[@br549200]

Busy work!

[@sleeperdude2690]

For sure!

[@eddiehoward6533]

You should mount up a set of 4 lugs, 5 on 4.5 5.3/4 and 5 on 5, that should cover most everything you drag home plus always a set ready when needed not to mention you can stack em up out back .

[@Nausta1gic]

Most those steelies are good . Just wire brush or grind the beads. Putting them on the tire machine while you brush em makes quick work .

[@JohnBaker-ks8rd]

Make flower pots out of ur old tires, cut one sidewall out at the tread line, then turn them inside out,

[@sec1868.]

Sleeperdude week day fix!

[@sleeperdude2690]

Absolutely

[@mikestrand3747]

Any cleanup is a good day

[@jammerjen5504]

With that fancy new casings machine, if you charged Ralphie, WaWa & all their friends (since they'll all be driving soon) just $5/each to use it per tire, you'll have it paid for by the time they graduate! 👍

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yeah you’re right!!

[@jammerjen5504]

@@sleeperdude2690 👍 ... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Carcrafter7165]

On the hoops that are good but pitted on the inside of the lip. Hit them with a wire brush on a drill and put at least 3 or 4 coats of paint on them so the casing will seal up without tubes needed.

[@brucevallee5623]

If you want to get rid of your fire ants forever use ortho orthene fire ant powder. A couple years ago I found several massive fire ant mounds on my property and sprinkled it on the mounds the next day I had no activity and haven't since then. It's always a treat to flip over a tire that's been sitting in the same spot forever.

[@shanemberry]

Tire iron or crowbar to hook those tires, pick them up. Good video.

[@sleeperdude2690]

Thank you

[@theroving1]

Apart from the obvious ones with valve seat issues pretty much all the others will hold air, clamp a hoop in the machine, wire wheel in the drill and just spin the machine, so easy! Then use bead sealer before you mount new casings. Love Wawa's hair curlers by the way 😂😂😂

[@Bigmoose914]

Save the steel rims for Ralphie to make bar stools out of them and lamp post bases just putting it out there❤ keep up the great work I love it you're the real American family❤

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Old wheels can be used for so many different purposes, hose hangers, water and air, stack one inside the other stood up- 8 wheels makes a great stand for a car . Wd 40 or brake clean and a lighter makes a great fire ant reducer…😂

[@locoserge007]

Hi Josh get yourself a metal rack for wheels like puddin fab shop did keep away from rains no more water in tires...

[@sleeperdude2690]

Yeah we need to

[@kelliepineda9822]

ralphie can make boot scrapers hose holder ( like hose reel) heaters bbq grill all great uses for old rims

[@larryfogle3697]

Lay one down and stand another up then weld them together. Makes a kinda jack stand for the ones you can’t work on yet.

[@marcuswhitaker8641]

In my little part of North Carolina haven't seen any black widows in a minute since the weather has turned chilly.

[@patmax1837]

Alot of People don't know but the date it was made is on the side wall of most tires

[@sleeperdude2690]

Right

[@mbrider2373]

Next time use the tires to build a track in the back yard. They work great for bumpers and marking tracks. Tire having is one of the best tools for any shop.

[@sleeperdude2690]

That’s a good idea!

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Build a wood rack, store your wheels and tires standing upright with a cover, it’ll help keep them off the ground and in decent condition.
