Love to hear about Doug's dad and Granddad. You don't know how fortunate the generations that followed them are. It was obvious each preceding generation allowed the next generation to step in without hesitation. I know many incidents in my neighborhood where the fathers treated the sons as no more than hired men. I see the addition of Brody as another step in adding another branch of the Larson family. I hope Randy's son also takes an interest in the farm.

[@dennispalmer6007]

When Chet said we didn’t even have an impact back then I just about spit my coffee out. When I was young on the farm a ratchet was a luxury. A tool box was a red steel thing that you had to dig thru to find the wrench you needed. Of course I’m 75 so that was like the dark ages. Any way I now own 2 impacts and a rolling cabinet although much smaller than yours. You guys keep doing what you do and we’ll keep enjoying the content and the people in it. 👍🇨🇦

Seeing the $1,000,000 ‘s of dollars worth of equipment you have now it’s humbling to see that not too long ago you worked out of a kids wagon for your tools. Good things come with hard work....the younger guys in your shop I know respect how far Larson Farms has come Doug O. Hope you can hold it together with the crazy prices we’re seeing now. Things keep going up you’re going to need $10 corn.!

I grew up on a farm but we didn't farm it ourselves, my father had a mechanic shop there working on small gas engines and bigger diesel engines. It was really my thing so I left and ended up with my uncle doing anything & everything pertaining to semi trailers. I did painting, refrigeration, welding and fabricating. My passion was welding, fabricating & machining but it's kinda hard to do that with one arm in a wheelchair. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

The biggest green and yellow tool box I have ever seen in my life... let's get some Larson Farms decals on that box right away and keep the Big Suede away from it... he breaks everything! Let's get the bigger 14 ft model next year! Stor-Loc® is one of the few companies that does not use nylon rollers in their support system. Only Steel Ball Bearings and heat treated steel rollers are used providing consistent, lifetime drawer performance.

[@bradmeacham6982]

A suggestion for labeling your new (and existing) tool box drawers... Buy some rolls of "Roll-N-Cut Flexible Magnetic Tape" (1/2" wide, 1/16" thick, 15' long, around $8/roll on Amazon). Cut it into 3-4" lengths. Either directly label them with a Sharpie, or create labels with a label maker and stick them to the magnetic tape strips. The magnetic tape then sticks anywhere on any drawer, all while letting you reorganize the drawer's contents at will at any time. Works very well in my experience.

[@brucefalcon7832]

Luv the Dougo Dap! My father was a master mechanic with Pratt & Whitney. I have his tools and will be proud when the day comes that I hand them down to my sons. They don't build'em like that anymore. You can see where my father engraved "Falcon" our last name on each tool. Great memories and many engines, hours, and miles were traveled on account of his drive and dedication. God Bless

[@imkwuzn]

Brody is a perfect fit for the farm. He’s clearly extremely capable and best of all, his sense of humor compliments you, Eric and Dougo! Mad respect to your Dad, Randy and your Grandfather for decades of hard work and sweat to build a successful farm and provide a better life for you and future generations of Larson’s. Love the new tool box but I loved that you showed the old wagon and told the story as it just exemplifies how hard work pays off in the long run. God Bless🙏

When I was a kid back in the early 60's , we were pretty poor , with a 2 seater outhouse , drew water from a hand dug well , and all bathed in a washtub in the middle of the kitchen floor . I say all of that that to tell you this . We didn't call the dumps dumps , we called them " The Shopping Center " , because we always came back with more than we took . Scrap iron to sell for extra money , lumber , you name it , it was there . Even found a brand new ten speed bike , and all that was wrong with it is that it had a flat tire 🤔 . I didn't know just how poor we were until I had a family of my own . Every family around us lived the same as us , so we didn't know any other way to live. 🙏❤🚜

Thanks for a real fun video. It was interesting and enjoyable and some neat things to add to the operation. First of all. Dougo it is most interesting when you talk about the old days. Really enjoyable hearing how things were years ago on the farm. Enjoyed seeing the old tool boxes on the wagon compared to the brand new tool center box. I personally am proud of your operation as how far you have progressed thru your hard work all the time. Take pride in what you have as you got it by good farming methods and honest hard work. You and your family deserve everything you have in your operation now days. Wonderful farm family Dougo!!!!! The Honda with the tracks is a go getter. Neat machine with the tracks and new lighting system. Will be a great machine for all farming seasons. You will use it more than you think. Neat upgrade Chet and Brody. The toolbox-wow!!!! That new tool box is a beauty. Love the John Deere colors. You can move that box anywhere you need it in the shop. That box will hold a lot of tools and equipment. Super addition to your operation. About it for now. Once again, really enjoyed the stories about the earlier days at Larson Farms. You deserve all you have achieved thru honest hard work. My compliments to all of you !!!!! Proud of your operation!!!!! You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. Chet, you enjoy the snowmobile trip to Colorado.

Chet very nice tool box. The little wagon that your dad used a few years back is very cool as well because farm are not the most organized people.

Hi Chet! Congratulations on your new tool trolley! That is a huge step forward for sure. With that being said, organization is everything in a storage unit that size. If I may recommend using Kaizen Foam in your drawers to organize all your tools. In addition to keeping them organized, you can instantly inventory your drawers for missing items. As an aircraft mechanic, this is of supreme importance to us. I believe it would serve you well too. There are videos on KZbin about it. You can get the foam in various thickness from Amazon. Good luck with your project! All the best!

[@robertmiller8336]

We did not have a "shop" , we did have a place with a concrete floor where some things could be pulled inside. there were tool boxes attached to most of the various pieces of equipment and each one had a collection of what was needed the most. the baler had sheer pins, and the two wrenches needed to tighten them and a grease gun. the mower had a box with mower sections, rivets and the thing to squish them and a hefty hammer, punch and chisel to knock out the old rivets. It also seemed like most everything was either 1/2" or 9/16" wrenches or sockets. I am guessing that 10mm is the metric equivalent now days. The new tool box sure looks nice!
