In this video I repair a box tipper that had excessive wear on the main pivot, both on the shaft and where the bush goes. The gear was also worn and needed turning.
Firstly, I started off by plasma gouging the weld that held the gear on, the gear was still on very tight so heat was applied to help. Once the gear was off, I cleaned it up, turned it over and put back on so that the unused teeth are to the side that meshes with the rack. Then welded it back on.
Next up was to replace the worn main shaft with a new one. This was a bit of a tricky job as there was a lot of weld and butchery going on from the last time it was changed. Again, the plasma was used to gouge the weld away and also the arc air gouger. When the old shaft was removed, the mess that was left behind was ground down, the plate was then placed on the milling machine to find the hole centre before building the hole back up with weld. The hole could then be bored out to 100mm to properly suit the new shaft. The shaft and plate were preheated before welding in.
Last job was to bore the hole where the bush goes back to round again. Rather than put the old style bush back in, I decided to overbore the hole to fit in a thicker type plastic bush. I had to use a high speed steel cutter for this as I was having too much issue with tool chatter.
I used a chain and bottom jack to press the new bush into place.
I then reassembled the two parts to ensure they fit together as indeed and to make it easier to send back to the customer on the pallet.
Quite a lot of work for what seemed a simple job but I wanted to ensure my repair was a lot better than the previous man who was apparently also an agricultural engineer. I want to be known for doing a good job, not a cheap bodge job.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching.

Snowball Engineering and Cutting Edge Engineering just made my weekend!
Wow what a nightmare job that turned out to be. It fought you at every turn. End result was brilliant. Hopefully that second one won’t be such a battle. Thanks again Oliver for taking the time to film, edit and post these videos.
...well, "we live and learn!!!"...
Any potential customer that watches your videos would know the quality of work you do and wouldn't mind paying, anyone else you probably wouldn't want as a customer anyway.
Gantry crane did I hear gantry crane ?
Another enjoyable Sunday morning coffee and video
If possible, try to put in a bridge crane.
With your work you really don't need to quote especially for all the times you have to repair or even undo work done by others. To those who want a fixed quote tell them to go elsewhere - that is if they can someone who does your quality work or is even prepared to take on the work. You do good stuff. Your name is getting out there. And word of mouth business is the best business you can get. Keep it up. Retired mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.

@@daleburrell6273 So that's what the lyric is!
I am happy to join with others admiring your persistence and "can do" attitude Ollie. Having some small experience with quoting in another field, quoting is just a way to lose money on jobs which turn into a black hole of surprises!
Those hoodies must be bloody good. You start off wearing it and end up in short sleeves ! I enjoy your videos mate. keep them coming.
Always amazed at how patient and persistent you are. Another great job of turning a very damaged part into something as good as new. Many thanks for all your videos - my Sunday morning treat!
Top bloke for showing your errors! and not editing them out. I'm a welder fabricator too I appreciate the honesty. 👍
In spite of this turning out to be a nightmare job you took the time to discuss and explain your plan of attack and the results of that attack. I hope you realise how helpful this is and how grateful your viewers are for it. Thanks very much and I hope you are having a restful Sunday. BTW, it was nice seeing you in short sleeves for a few moments! 🙂
I like the use of “10X” speed on repetitive operations.
Excellent work as usual Ollie, I never used to give quotes, always estimates because as in this case, you usually end up repairing someone else’s bodges ! Enjoyed that very much!

Here from across the pond we call those things rotator attachments. Since I work on heavy equipment here, I also work on these. What a pain in the arse for sure. Nice video Snowball.
That adjustable workbench (forklift) sure is handy for getting jobs at a convenient height.
It’s very handy
Oliver, Major props on you going after these jobs 👏 👌🏻
Glad you're always busy, no doubt the U tube channel and other social media has helped with that. It's a show case of your many talents, from pre fabrication works to putting right JCB's errors. Really interesting job, you see these things being used but never really understand the engineering behind them. What I like is, that like Kurtis over at CEE you explain and show the part on the machine. 👍
Agree! Since I'm not from the Ag or heavy machine world - I sometimes don't understand what the part does - or how it failed. So glad you show it in operation (like Kurtis does). Really helps!!
Proper can of worms that one, good thing about documenting your work is the customer can see what goes into the repair.
What a battle getting that shaft out! I was expecting you would bore the hole to clean out all the old weld while you had it on the mill the first time.
No sweat Ollie knows what he is doing
Quite the battle there! That will warm you up! You won! 🎉
I’m relieved to hear that you avoid quotes, it’s very easy to lose money on a job. With the level of care and attention that you put in I can’t imagine you get many customers whining about the cost. Hope the second one is easier 🙏
The Engineers Black Book is a nifty little companion for machinery work like that.
My first thought when I saw this job was oh ****, now what have you got yourself in this time lad? Still credit to you, you worked out what needed to be done, how to do it, then got stuck in! When I saw the state of the "repair" welds, I knew you had drawn the short straw. Well done Ollie, some of the best work I've seen, all the different skills you showed shown why you get work from far and afield.
Very good again Ollie. Quality repair,sadly this is not often seen in our throw away world. My town had lots of places you could take something to be repaired, now they’re all gone. That’s why it’s called Snowball Engineering,not Snowball Welding and Fabricating. Best of British. All the best.
Great job Oliver!!! The next one will be faster and better. You know what they say? “Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect”
Wow ! More completely worn out equipment they bring you to make new for them . I hope you get rewarded financially for saving them the cost of buying replacement equipment.
I bet the first customer mentioned to someone about you taking on this job and word got around you're the guy. Word of mouth is the best advertising. If they have any questions about your work, they can always look you up on YT. Good stuff!
Son, you have a set of skills that many people would love to have, I enjoy the thought process you put into making the repairs, thank God that there are still people in the repair business and not the EGG heads that have taken basket weaving 101 in college that think they know everything.
Love this guy he tells you the truth he’s the first to point out his mistakes what a honest person keep the good work coming Oliver much appreciated x
Nice to see I'm not the only one who has one of those fully-adjustable workbenches from Hyster!
I have one from caterpillar but since it has electronic servo controls i dont cut and weld on it
That gear was determined not to come off, even when you attacked it with the big hammer. But you used almost every tool in the workshop and it failed to succeed in staying on. You won! That must have been one of the hardest things you've had come in. You sure got a workout getting that gear off. You even got so hot you had to take your gear off!!!
No cóż, zlecenie niezbyt skomplikowane ale wymagające dużego nakładu pracy i cierpliwości. Praca wykonana dokładnie i wizualnie bez zastrzeżeń .Trzeba być cierpliwym i nie poddawać się gdy coś nie wychodzi . Gdybyś miał potrzebne maszyny do obróbki Twoja praca byłaby łatwiejsza i szybsza w wykonaniu. Robota super!😀
Hello Oliver from the USA....yep she was a fighter for sure. Great work as always!
Never is a good thing having to sort out the mess others make, but well done by you.
Two at once, ride the waves, better than a calm ocean.
Interesting equipment, a challenging repair, and a lesson on cutting inserts... All this Oliver is why me/us look forward to your videos.
Now that wasn’t easy, but I just love how nothing flossers you. He just resolve the problem straightaway. Great content something different this week thank you.
Oliver, thank you for showing the operation of the tipper at the beginning. You do work on interesting things.
Cracking job Ollie, like you said almost impossible to quote for a job like that! No two same jobs are the same! Ever! Or very rarely. Keep up the good fight 👌
Always enjoy my Snowball Sundays, watching the trials and trepidations of our valiant hero and the horrible jobs he gets tasked with! That was a particularly nasty one, due to the butchery of a former repair! Have a good week Oly!
The project turned out to be very thoughtful, thorough, neat and of high quality. Bravo!
Enjoying the down-to-earth practical decisions you make.. Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job with this one ! I wondered how you would overcome all the difficulties to make the finished job good. You are getting known across other parts of the country now ! Thanks for taking us along as you did it. Brian from South Yorkshire
Very interesting and adsorbing video. The time flew for me. Excellent angles and great to sit along and watch your throught process as it all unfolded and got put back together. Cheers.
Great job Ollie. Thanks for the video. I look forward to your videos everyday.
Mr. Snowball, you are getting very professional I must say! The jobs - yes, always, but viedos are great with details explained and just great end result!
To get them molten beads off from workpiece I've used piece of old file welded to D=20mm tube or similar. Gets more mass into pushing them off + can make them different sizes to fit all small caps and one regrind and edge is like brand new. I like the thinking about solving these repairs - that's the way I have to sort farm equipment repairs also. Great content!
You seem to take on jobs that are harder and harder. Maybe no one else would do it. It was clever the way you found the centre I was thinking how on earth is he going to do that. Good luck Ollie.👍
Wow! What a job! Great work! Young lad! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Oliver, love your Sunday morning videos. That was a job and a half well done👍👌
Another great video. Thank you again Oliver!
Well you certainly showed that box turner a lot more care than it's owner has. You should have included a grease cartridge when you packaged it up just so they know what one looks like !
😂
...YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS...
yes mate for sure but i think you would have to include detailed instructions on it use and how you would need a grease gun maybe have to include one of them and a recommendation to a good maintenance guy to go along with is Cheers mate
Most farmers just want their equipment to work with minimum maintenance.
Interesting how they treat expensive equipment.
This machine is old, probably older than me. Things just wear out eventually
Thanks Oliver, I enjoyed that…well done !
Very interesting thank you. That’s a lot of labour for a simple construction, must be borderline economical repair.
Struggle to watch you barehanded with that angle grinder, I had an industrial accident when i was your age and has badly impacted me for the last 30 years, good that you watch your eyes and ears and lungs, but fingers and backs are vulnerable too.
Quality workmanship Great video
Great to watch as always. Maybe could have indicated the internal bore from the outer cog (unworn inner part of the teeth). That would ensure the inner bore was concentric with the outer cog. The inside may have worn unevenly and no be any longer central.
A horizontal borer would be great for this kind of work . Make oversize hole shrink fit new ring in place weld re bore to size. Jobs a good one. If you do a lot of this kind of work well worth considering.
Even though I retired a few years ago make me want to put my working boots on and get stuck in.........
Keep up the good work
Excellent work! Thanks for your time and skills.
Thank you for sharing, another great project, ilearn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Hi Oliver,
I don't claim to be an expert on carbide cutting tools, but as I understand it positive rake is effective only on very rigid setups. Carbide comes in various grades and you need one suitable for interrupted cuts to start with, then change over to a more suitable grade for finishing. To get rid of chatter you need to make your setup more damped. I have seen a you tube clip where someone wrapped plumbers solder round the shank of the tool to good effect. Reducing cutting speed and shortening the tool overhang might also help.
Good morning!
Coffee time....☕
I would have taken a long piece of bar and welded on 4 tabs that fit in the teeth, creating a long spanner wrench, then just heated the gear and rotated it around so the unused teeth are in the working position.
Good Morning Oliver, I recently watched a RUclips video by Josh Topper of Topper Machining LLC where he has problems with chatter and no alternative tooling available, he documented his experiment using different cutting speeds and depths to try to eliminate it, it may be a useful watch.
Great job as always mate.
With the boring bars you have, you can only use CNMG inserts, because the seat won't support a CCMT. The holder for CNMG has a tilted seat, so the insert will get the proper angle. If you put a CCMT insert into it, the angle will be out of whack, and more important, the side of the insert will only touch the seat with the cutting edge, not the whole side. It will break in an instant.
Really nice work. Great job.
Your type of repair really is great. I work as a volunteer on a canal restoration. We do so much in. A similar vein.
Thank you !!
Very interesting project, you get some great jobs and do a great job. Have a good day. From the Texas Hill Country
That my friend was not an easy job, nice work.
You should have a sectional gear ⚙️ that bolts to the plate then you can replace just the worn-out sections and put a big washer on top that the bolts 🔩 go through and into the gear sections keeping everything in check thus making the job of repair much easier and less time consuming 😊😊
If you can go a full day without drawing blood......you've not worked hard enough, so well done 😁
That’s a lot of work for what seemed on the face of it a straightforward job. Well done 👏🏻
Thank you !! It is good to see a man sized grinder aft work!! 73 dan
A first-class job again Oliver, you video everything, warts and all and your ability to find a solution to unexpected problems and produce the best work possible is amazing, there is little wonder you are getting work from further afield, Bodge it and Scarper Ltd will be out of business in no time.
Good morning Oliver, another belter is here
It Dont matter if some people might think it's abuses at the end of the day. it's your machinery, not anyone else's great video as always, fella 👍
Never even knew such a device existed 😂 can see it being really handy for farmers tho.
Magic.
Hi Oliver, thanks for another great video mate, getting the old pin out opened up an unseen can of worms for you, but that's the name of the game in your line of work. The repair went great, no problem there, I hope you have an easier time whith the second one. Stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Nice job, from central Florida USA!
Clever idea using a chain and bottle jack as a press 😅
...when you’re a machinist, you have to be good at IMPROVISING...
Nicely done, agree on the quoting, If I have to quote it usually means the customer is asking around and wants it done cheap. So I just quote very high to cover things you just can't anticipate ... just in case !!
Well done Oliver... what a nightmare that turned out to be... but you didn't take any shortcuts and made a proper job of that...
Very interesting video.
Thanks for a another great video Olly
Nicely done and thanks for the video!
That pin refurb came out well. Regards Chris
Another silk purse Oliver. Knowing how challenging agricultural repairs can be you've done a great job of reaching a worn out and poorly previously repaired piece of equipment. You'd be mad to try to quote for work like that.
Quite a lot of work for such a small job, We made a press at one place I worked with huge hydraulic rams from a old 360 degree excavator, Built it with three huge pieces of RSR with a 40 mm solid steel bed, 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Excellent job as usual , very interesting
Another awesome video Oliver
Great job, well done!
Well young man you definitely had the challenge there . I guess from the moment that pin plate was turned over to show the amount of welding on the back it was going to be an epic repair . Just shows how good you are with your method of tackling a job. A great repair probably better than original . Strange how you say never had 1 then you get 2 . At least the second one you will know whats coming hopefully its not as bad as the first
Get yourself a machinist handbook. It has just about all the information that you will ever need. There are plenty of utube videos as well explaining cutters. The rake angle is pretty critical with that much tool stick out and an inside diameter cut.
Magician at work. great work!
Very nice job as usual.
good job mate
Excellent job man..great video, keep'um coming.
Stellar repair.
Your skills are on a higher level.
If chatter is going to be a problem with the bore that big you could try a short bar out the side of the boring head have your quill out and raise the table
