One readon not to "drop" the standing valve is because if the rods have scale or "gyp" on them, it will rattle off and collect on top of the standong valve in the barrel! 45 yrs doing this.
@@MrSlotter why not just drop it in before you run the pump? Then when you get the rods and pump in you tag bottom make sure it’s seated good and pump it
I spent 36 years total as a roustabout floor hand, here in N.W. La. I have worked under A - Frames, standard derricks, pole rigs and work-over rigs. I enjoyed working derricks in the standard derricks and the smaller workover rigs. I never got good at latching pipe on the " fast " rigs. I don't miss it much, especially on those cold rainy mornings, but I found the perfect reminder for me, at those times I run out of beer and cigarettes, DAMN ! I need a job !
Snap three times. Idiots. You should see the rod wrenches from the 20. You think they snapped them 3 times? No
rod turners are always so cute

Just drop that standing valve. It'll seat good.

Called a goats ass.
Never seen someone screw a stand valve on to the pump while running it in
Me either.
Must be nasty tubing and they want to make sure it gets to bottom
I did , you back it off 5 rounds when you feel the top of the barrel. works like a charm.

You can do that with a high fluid well but 1900 feet of dry pipe can mess stuff up when it hits bottom.@@jesseblevins1089
