Hot Setting 450 pound Steel Tires on the Water Wagon Wheels | Engels Coach

Hot setting 450 pound tires on 780 pound wheels for the Borax Water Wagon with an open fire, just like they did originally in the 1880s. Even though I used a forklift to lift the hot tires from the fire, the process of setting these tires is using the same age old method and principles of our forefathers. Thanks for watching the process! New Merchandise Stores! Store Frontier for shirts, sweat shirts and hoodies. Teespring for mugs. Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@ will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
