Does your Clock need Bushings

- Here I give you a hint on how I put bushings in a clock. I show you how to determine if the bushings need to be installed or not. It's a bit costly to buy the tools for bushing repair, so I think maybe taking the clock to a Clock Smith might be your best choice.

Now that I am retired, I just might show my life and some of the towns around me. I enjoy working on Cuckoo Clocks and clocks in general, How to repair vacuums, fans and things form the thrift stores, besides the thrift store finds, and working on houses. Time Lapse, Bird & Sky watching along with gardening. Helping my Dad with things he loved to do, along with taking dad and his wife to breakfast.
My Brother and Dad, live on the same Dead End Road and yea, maybe we just might get into trouble a little, but have fun doing it. It is time to start smelling the Roses on the way instead of looking at them and passing them by.
Wow amazing 💖 good 💞💕 very nice sharing
Thank you so much, God Bless
Thanks for your time and great video.
And thank you for taking the time to watch the videos Daniel De
G'Day Mike. Great job. Watched with great interest. 🙂 Rob
I just gave a few basics for an idea on what you might need to do a bushing install. But anything is better than nothing. Thanks for watching Rob.
Everyone remember to hit the👍👍For Mike
Thank you Will
Good job Mr
Thank you so much
@@justmike57 you welcome
Mike, this vid is brilliant - I have seen many that seem to drag on, and on... can learn stuff from them but it takes quite a few. Your vid is packed with info and has straight to the point fixes.... liking and subscribing now.
Thank you Mark. I know my videos are long, but normally a regular person will only click on a video it they have a clock like or close to this clock. I try to teach/help others fix their clock or at least understand what the clock is suppose to do in case they might have a problem with their clock. Thanks so much for the great comment and hope to see you again on the next video. God Bless.
@@justmike57 - 😊it was actually meant to be a compliment - apologies for the misunderstanding... I was trying to say that this one is short, to the point, and great quality information. Great job! I really enjoyed it :)
Nice upload 😍❤️ .... stay connected

@@justmike57 HI MORNING AND WELCOME HAVE A GOOOOOOOOD DAY TOOOO
Thank you
Happy Thanksgiving my Friend.
Nice fix of the movement here
Thanks N.D.T.
Big like my friend
Thanks so much John Ames. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving.
I watched more of your channel already. Smooth, entertaining! Well upkeep. This is simple entertainment for me
Good show.
Glad you enjoy it S00770
Great job of fixing the movement. Keep them coming.
Thank you Mark.
Enjoyed the video. Trying to get an idea of when I should do bushing and when they are ok. Everyone shows the very loose ones with a lot of slop. Video idea: What does normal pivot hole movement look like and what is beginning of wear that would benefit from bushings? I read somewhere that if it moves more than 10%, then put a bushing. Hard to judge what is 10% in a hole that is 1.5 mm! That's a tenth of a millimeter. Would love to see you describe your gut feeling on differerent pivot movement amounts on a video.
Mark gets into the bushing part. I did a video on bushings, but made is short because most people can't or wont try doing their own. They only have one clock.
The one day cuckoo clocks can get buy with a lot more slop than an eight day clock. The last video I did a bushing on was a very old Rail Road clock, I showed the play I missed when putting it together and the clock would just stop ticking. The plates were so think, the the hole looked good, but it you looked close, the pivot was worn inside the plate and not on the outside.
That would be the end of the clock if I was working on it. I would have to take a ton Of photos to remember the process. Mad skills Mike. Another great job. Love that bushing kit.
There is a chance, it would be cheaper to buy a new movement, but on some clocks the Movement would be important to have the original to keep the value of the clock going up. Thanks for watching Heritage Farms Texas and Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless
I will check it out. That is what is happening to me
If you do decide to get into bushing work, The cheapest tool would be the Diamond Broach cutter. I use them along with my heavier cutters once I have the bushing in place.
If my clock was like that...I would just put the clock down because that moment is beyond damaged
This clock was well used and not just thrown in the garage for most of it's life. Seeing that it needed bushings did make me happy to know the clock was used.
Good Job, i had no idea clocks needed bushings. Can you fix Watches?
New clocks don't have bushings. When the brass plates start to wear, then you have to install a new brass bushing to keep the gear in place. I have never had an interest in working on watches. Too small and my fingers wouldn't fit in their little cases, lol. Thanks for watching Bat.
Hey Mike been watching your channel for almost a year and I have learned a ton! Thank you so much for the info.I want to do some bushings for the first time and was wondering where you order tools and bushings.Would you consider doing a big Grandfather clock in the future?You also turned me on to New England clock co.I just retired and really enjoy the hobby.I was a union Electrician for 38 years in MPLS
I got your email and after looking for a set of reamers, I see they are sold out unless you wanted to buy 1 at a time that would get really expensive. Check out Ronell.com and Timesaver.com.
Mike good morning that is interesting I never knew that mechanical clocks have bushings have a wonderful blessed day.
You have a great Thanksgiving my friend.
Send it to you for repair sounds good to me
This is what some people do because it just sounds overwhelming too them.
Great channel you deserve 1 billion subscribers and 1 billion likes
Now wouldn't that be something. I would love to show of my plaque if RUclips gave me one.
Halloween at 12:12 am my clock started working after not running for 2 years. Only the second hand works. I like listening to the tic. So it only tics and I'm good lol. The only clock in the house. Happy Thanksgiving giving to you and your family Darling Mike.
My Darling Kathleen. You are one out of 100 that likes the ticking of a clock. Hoping your Thanksgiving goes well for you and enjoy life around you. God Bless and have a great day.
It takes some talent to reach in there and resize/re-bush things like that still make it tick when it's done and keep time too.
They call this time under your belt. Sometimes it's a little scary to try something new. But the saving the money part also gives a good drive to try it.
The spark plug wires must be crossed on 2 & 4 cylinder to get it shaking that bad. Good to know what a shop wants to charge you for doing.
I hear most clock shops will not work on cuckoo clocks. They are not worth their time. Thanks for watching Bob. Happy Thanksgiving.
Looks to be a BADUF movement.
I already sent the movement back to the lady to install in her cuckoo clock. Thanks for watching Mark.
I'm working on an 8 day 34 gm and the timing side runs perfectly until I add the arbor. Can one pivot hole that might need to be rebushed cause that kind of problem?
The 35, one day clocks are forgiving. The 34, 8 day clocks are not. Yes, just one pivot that is bad can stop your clock.
What is this wonderful tool that you use to make holes? what is it called and where can I buy it?
The tool isn't cheap, but this is a link for them at Timesavers. timesavers.com/i-8948895-kwm-style-hand-reamer-set.html
A cheaper way to do the job is using The Cutting Broach Set that come in different sizes.
Hi Mike, could you fix my clock? If so can you give me a price range? Then how would I get it to you? Remember me, the one that mentioned the whistle box cuz it was glued? Look forward to hearing from you!
Email below the video if you are interested in this. I don't check the email all the time, but from time to time I do look at it.
Good job would you do 1 for me
I could, but might have to get ordering some more bushings. I don't check my Email as often as I should, and my email address is below the video Doyle Trentham
Not to be critical but the strike side snail cam gear does not have normal side play or be normally loose. I watched you ream the hole before inserting the bushing and I didn’t see you compensate for the egg shape hole and that is going to cause a depthing problem. Also the center wheel usually needs to be bushed and you avoided taking off the snail cam and the center wheel lifting cam which actually make it easier for bushing if needed and assembly or do you not have the tools for that. I’ve been doing this for over 50 years and frown on lessons that are not correct. Also reaming out bushings to the proper tolerance was not covered. Not every pivot has the correct bushing size available. Are you going to cover reassembly and synchronization of all the cams and levers, lubrication and adjustments?
I do believe you are a bit critical for not understanding what type of people I have come to my channel. You, as an expert know all about this work. I, on the other hand didn't want to do this video, but am always asked about the bushings. My video was very vague and warned people that there is a high cost in buying the tools just for one clock. I do have followers that have a few clocks, but most only have one or two and they click on the clock that might look similar too their clock.
As a hobbies t, I do watch videos on what to look for and how to ream them by hand, but did you notice I didn't show me reaming out the hole. The egg shaped hole I know when to push and when not to push the reamer and for a one day clock, it's good enough.
The snail cam I don't like to show taking off because the novice will bend and scare the cam and I would rather work around it so the people know it is Okay to do so.
I don't have all the nice tools to work on clocks, but I have enough to get me by and add to the tools in time but will never buy costly tools that would not make séance to buy when it is just a hobby and work on mainly my own clocks.
I do hope you understand where I am coming from and the people I have that watch my videos. (I mean, if they don't find what they are looking for in this video, there are many more out there).
