The welding rig tour (Ketchup)

A video that has been requested by everyone for years now. She is not complete but in a good place.
Hope you enjoy it.

That company on the door did a lot of contract work for different Power Companies here in my county in the late 60'S and early 70' S . I live in Wise County, Virginia . I worked at a Texaco Service Station in 1968 that serviced their trucks and they also stored their trucks there too. The trucks then were mostly gasoline powered and 4WD . They worked in our Appachian Mountains installing poles and running wire . They were good, hard working men that travelled to their homes on the weekends. I hope this enlightens you some. Be safe and God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy

I’m from BSG. Grew up in Powell Valley. Good to see someone from back home. 👍🏼

[@rayeddy528]

I have some family in Big Stone. Last name Fox. I live in Wise. I really enjoy the drive down Powell Valley mountain.

[@jasondedic]

I've never seen a jobsite box setup like that. That's badass man!

[@madthewirdo4236]

Proof positive that you can use your skills, bring good equipment back to life to fit your business needs, keep your overhead low and more money in your pocket. Thanks for the videos, your practical repair solutions in the field have helped me keep things going on my farm. Wish you well

[@jerryodell1168]

Put a rubber flap over the tool box latch to shed the water and snow. That's what we do up here in the land of heavy snow and ice. Doesn't always work, but it does help a lot. Side driven freezing rain gets in anyway.

[@mwilliamshs]

Add magnets to your flap.

[@jerryodell1168]

​@@mwilliamshs ​ @mwilliamshs - Thanks, forgot about the magnets.

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

Dang man That truck is better stocked than most stores.

[@kevincoogan3518]

Brilliant truck Ethan, does everything you require. Greetings from Ireland.

[@garyprn2000]

Awesome to see you back. From Corinth.

[@RDCM1008]

Awesome truck, awesome life.

[@Jdigger4130]

[@ypaulbrown]

looking great my friend.......Ketchup is my favorite weld rig truck on KZbin.....Paul in Florida

[@Marandal]

This is exactly what i wanted to build when thinking up a Welding Rig.

[@ronhart4166]

Let’s not forget that most mechanical inclined person could fix this truck with a service manual!!! Fine truck and advice you bring to the table. I have followed you so long and one thing you are…..is a humble man for sure!!

[@killerkyle8579]

All around sweet rig, it doesn’t have to be new to be better.

[@JB-js6kq]

When compiling the top ten diesel's made the DT 466 is ALWAYS included. Same with the 7L Power Strokes they built for Ford. Too bad recently they've stumbled a bit, particularly with the Terra-Star line which damn near bankrupted them. Nice work rig, you must be proud!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

I remember when Urzuli? went flying off the back of the truck and you were devastated. I guess you got used to the old SA 200 just staying put but that turn was the one that finally made her jump off...I found one of these trucks that I passed every day at a electrical company lot but the week before I was going to stop by and make an offer a guy from a tree service about a mile from my house bought it and had it completely gone over and it looks really great. As you always say..everyone needs a crane truck.. Even a secretary...lol

[@mjmcomputers]

Thanks for the tour.

[@jimlondon1]

I enjoyed this tour of your expertly equipped truck. Thanks. Jim from London UK. 👍

[@landroverihtractor1965]

Absolutely brilliant truck tour - very helpful to see your setup - thanks for sharing. We always look out for your videos

[@susanparkerson1918]

I am impressed with the organizational display.

[@metaspencer]

cool to see the rig man! good stuff

[@MannsWeldMachine]

Great rig tour! So many good parts, but I love the crank handle “cloud” and holder 🤣 makes it bearable on those hot days!

[@mandylad]

Great Job 👏 love watching your videos.greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍 From the days when things were built to last. Thank you

[@troymilleraz]

Great truck, and great video! Take care, and God bless my friend!

[@DIRTDUMMY1]

Another great back to basics video. Best of success.

[@thebruteforce1]

Great video! Enjoyed seeing how you outfitted your truck. Big fan of ketchup.

[@nubbydipper1667]

Buddy you’ve just because my favorite KZbinr and u just gained a subscriber I’m 26 and getting into mobile welding/mechanic work

[@EEJester1586]

Glad to have ya and good luck!

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………………………………………………I like your shirt and bumper sticker on the inside of your tool cabinet. I think we would get along great! LOL……………………….. I like the hat too………..just noticed it.

[@lovejcdc]

That is a veritable tank lol ol ketchup is a beast 💪. Older is usually better than anything new in respect to reliability and longevity. You don't need a bunch of plastic bells and whistles. Great job building that truck.

[@albanliege4989]

yep !!! you are be back ?? very happy to see you againe !!!!!

[@mikec6831]

Great rig! Thanks for the tour.

[@Christopherbever]

That thing is beauty!!

[@softiss]

this truck has more tools then i have ever seen in my life. this is overwelming.

[@ernestdoleman2487]

Thanks for the video. Awesome truck.

[@LynnHarris18]

Reading thru all the comments, I did not see anyone's comment on the "one" most important tool you have on your excellent outfitted working truck. Love the truck and the way it's set up for all around field work. Back to that tool...your "RELECT TRUMP STICKER - 2024". When that happens your going to see the welding and construction professions open up like never before. Pray that it happens.

[@mjkrigging6374]

I'm surprised the dot don't mess with you for the old name still on the door. Nice setup cool sticker in the knack

[@rollsroyce7325]

A FACOM tool box on wheels, Good Job😉👌 Free publicity for Kurtis and Karen, I wish he would do the same on his next video Next Friday 🇦🇺❤️ 😍👌

[@Case_excavation.]

Looks like you’re a fellow CEE fan.

[@ghilreese3413]

Thanks for the tour and video.

[@walterwhitaker1395]

Nice work rig brother! Make sure your vices jaws aren't too tight, I was told by other older hands that road vibration will cause cracks in the throats!

[@Joe_from_iowa]

Thanks for the tour!! Love it!!

[@NutsNBolts24]

The only thing I heard him say about CDL requirements was "if it has airbrakes, you have to have a CDL", at least in the few states I've lived in you only need a air brake endorsement for 26k and under trucks with air brakes. I have an IH 1700 with air, and that's all I needed. Take the written air brake test.

[@hubertrobinson8825]

That's nice I do welding too mainly wrought iron but I can do wrenching if needed wrenches and sockets up to 1-1/2 in not a whole lot at times I get call do minor things on trailers but you got a real nice outfit there though

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Nice set up. I always liked a big truck over a F-550. I was field service, miles away from anything so I needed to vary lots of stuff, way too easy to overload a 550.

[@thepubliceye]

If I seen that on the road I would have thought it was a drilling rig.

[@kellycowett6254]

Like the ol 2 strokes slam your fingers in door so you be pissed off an keep your foot in it all day 😅

[@kellycowett6254]

But that truck is slick

[@localcrew]

I have a 1987 IH utility bed 4WD that needs to be resurrected. Maybe one of these days.

[@hddm3]

Awsome

[@katmandu8208]

👍🏻🍻

[@mrscme]

The Catsup such a pretty girl

[@jessehoover3440]

Considering an engine drive welder .I have my eye on a couple ,both used. Is there anywhere in Mississippi that repairs them ?

[@benjaminrich9396]

Great truck. I love your cabinet. A man of your talents should know better than to use scotchlocks though. So bin those from your electrical draw. :)

[@damionrichter]

beautiful

[@richardjones9282]

Nice setup! Bummer it has hydraulic brakes.

[@EEJester1586]

I know that is one thing she desperately needs.

[@exwldr6945]

You Need to add a swing arm & chain hoist to Lift & Lower you Gas Bottles , Before you Destroy your Back Lifting bottles Believe me I've been welding for Over 40 years and your Body won't & doesn't Hold up to Abuse & Heavy Lifting!!

[@kevinsantema6807]

Great video, I have a miller 250, just wondering what size carbon rod do you run with your 250? Thanks God Bless

[@EEJester1586]

I run mostly 5/16” every now and then 3/8” but a 5/16” will do a lot of work at 200 to 240 amps. Not as hard on the machine.

[@kevinsantema6807]

Thank you, keep up the good work

[@bigdave6447]

Valve protection on the argon mix bottle !!!

[@EEJester1586]

Yeah I don’t have one on it. It only has a 1 inch of clearance to top of the box lol.

[@bigdave6447]

@@EEJester1586 dot doesn't care,"valve shall be protected. "!!

[@TheTreegodfather]

😃👍🏻

[@hanifmalik-mcbride4952]

That Truck is well built but over the gross weight of 33 ,000 lbs built too heavy but I like it

[@michaeljohnson-jh2eu]

Like your channel. I am rom Panola county, Ms. What part of Ms. are you from?

[@EEJester1586]

Thanks I’m from Noxubee county.

[@someguy4476]

What’s the deal with the extension cord reel? Is it permanently wired on the other end? Who makes it??

[@EEJester1586]

It’s just a hollow tube inside the reel. Cox makes the reels.

[@gregm312]

nice

[@jenniferwhite6089]

i would say cap your bottles you know there not drain you tank if you have them caped

[@nathancreel9866]

Where at in Mississippi are you at ?

[@EEJester1586]

Noxubee County.

[@okiedoke6373]

I disagree with the utility bed that's all I run is utility bed I make purchases based on utility bed I guess everything's different everybody's different but I don't do any equipment repair where I actually do wrenching and stuff like that I carry a gouge cutting torch all that good stuff yeah I call him service buddy I like the service body over a flatbed it just suits me better

[@EEJester1586]

Nothing wrong with a utility bed. Seen some very nice setups on one. The biggest problem (for me at least) was trying to get things to fit in places they were never designed for. And always strapped for space. I was lucky and had a 2 foot flat bed made into my service body behind the cab. If I didn’t have that the welder would have been in the back of the bed and really would have been a pain.

[@badjeepman]

Trump 2024 , you and your truck are perfect, don’t even need to watch the rest………..

[@user-cv5kp7zz7q]

Your bottles can’t be enclosed!

[@MannsWeldMachine]

Trump 24🇺🇸

[@jjock3239]

You could have done without the politics unsubscribed.

[@robertwray7503]

Thats a shame. Why should you let his political beliefs come between you and watching a man show people you dont have to have new shiny chrome to make it in this business. Ethan you keep doing you brother and hello again from Pontotoc.

[@EEJester1586]

I love the fact I didn’t say a word about anything political. If it was my shirt I’m not sorry. If it was the bumper sticker in the tool box it’s been riding in there since 2020 look at my old videos. Thank you for unsubscribing because I was to political.

[@jakebrake1326]

U still got ur Miller Big 40 welder

[@EEJester1586]

Yes sir still do.

[@deforrest5611]

BORING BORING,
