The fixture table is excellent. I find these videos interesting because I get to see different approaches to solving problems. These are the types of problems most encountered by home builders. When Something breaks, and there are no parts available you have to find a solution.
Nice job on the CAM wheel. Done similar, but was able to set it up using a face plate on a lathe, with a detachable saddle. I MIG welded it, using NiFe MIG wire and turned it back into spec. There were no circlip grooves as it used a retaining washer on the top. I recall that the MIG wire wasn't cheap, but it went down really smooth and had no holes at all. The wagon wheel didn't surprise me with the distortion, I honestly thought there would have been much more. The welding table is such an awesome tool by itself. Well done, first class jobs, see you next week 👍
Exactly the same repair posted recently on a popular channel. They bored out the pin and press fitted a new one. Assuming the pin was part of the original casting I thought that’s a terrible idea. Again you’ve done it the right way. Good stuff 👍
It's probably the thick end of 40 years since I last welded cast iron using nickel rods. I got very good results by cleaning each weld pass with a pneumatic needle scaler. That had the effect of peening each weld to help take the stress out, as well as removing the slag.
Good morning, Oliver. A couple of jobs that needed an engineering pro to make them successful. Nice. Parts at 2 degrees C means the mate doing the welding is freezing his ass of for a couple of hours. Nice job knocking them out. And I'm pretty sure that beet harvester ring never looked so good. Thanks for letting us see a little more of your farm. I didn't realize you had a dairy farm as well. That's how I grew up and it takes me back. Thanks for that. That hay blower your dad was operating is a blessing. I used to be on the wagon, chucking hay bale sections to the herd. Thanks for the video and hope Tenerife helped recharge your batteries. 🎄Happy holidays! 🎄 Cheers, mate.
I like the “Tear-up” bale shredder! We had some Taarup machines on the farm that I worked at and it was my job to spread straw in the cubicle houses, we used one that took a standard bale, I just cut and pulled the strings out before use. Nice trip down memory lane!👍😀 Great work on the baler crank, these old milling machines are fantastic and it’s good to see them being used. Mark from Scotland 👍😀
Good job Ollie, it is never straight forward on equipment repairs, then material gets work hardened, you never know the original specifications. Probably worst of all is pricing those sorts of jobs. Keep up the good work, have a good holiday, and a great Christmas & New Year.
Josh Topper, on the Topper Machine LLC channel, did pretty well the same repair on a hay baler 6 months or so ago. I'm going to watch this one and then go back and rewatch Josh's video, to compare how you did a similar job.
For the first part you made with the boring head; well done with the circlip groove. Really nice job. You will reduce chatter if you support your part and reduce the length of stick out on the bar. Rigidity is king when machining Ollie. The spigot you were working on, was flying in mid air completely unsupported. When it comes to cutting, you will always cut it if you have something harder. The carbide inserts are incredibly hard and will see off most welds. The swap to HSS worked in the end. Again, nice job. Before giving up with the mig I might have tried a quick cut on the mill. Great job on the wheel.
Another varied selection of repair jobs completed. As other comments about the pin machining, extra support under the pin would help solve the chatter. I'm no machinist but i've seen it done by others. Thanks for this weeks update. Brian from South Yorkshire.

Was thinking 🤔 same thing about machinist jack, plus would have clamped down in more than 1 place too, just our luck, go to turn it back down and it spin on table just enough to mess it up and/or break a insert or piece hss
Also I think once I had clocked it true I would have drilled with a centre drill so there would be a reference point in case it moved,and it could then be welded on a rotary table off mill and then easily set back up again
Yep on all the above. You could hear it ringing when you milled the top. A good way to test is lighty whack the part with a wrench or something. If it dings you might have chatter, if it thuds, good to go. ... looks good!
I work on large square balers as my job, that part is the crank arm for the knotters the centre spline go on the knotter shaft while the worn pin is connected to the needle carriage which brings the twine around the back of the bale. It’s missing the clutch part but there is another little lever with a roller on the inside which stops this peice from turning when it’s not tying a knot
A lot of work in repairing that wheel. Customers says “it just wants a new rim” all it needs is 40 separate welds cutting out and dressing then 40 separate welds to put it back together.
Hi Oliver, good fix on the cam axle, grooving tool worked a treat, when I saw that wheel I wondered if it would spring all over the place once you cut the rim off, but your grasp of what's happening , and aplication of a bit of force won out in the end, ha, ha, never doubted you mate, thanks for another interesting video, stay safe, best wishe's for Xmas to all there. Stuart Uk.
Not a bad couple of jobs this week Ollie. Couple of love taps with a tapping stick sorted .. must have been a bugger weather wise this week cold temperature out and you're handling cold metal .. we can see the breath in a few shots . I was puzzled how you were going to refinish the shaft on the first job then the mill came into play great use of the tooling . Cheers young man 😊
hey olly . In the boring head use as short a boring bar as possible, and then I use the **gt inserts (for aluminium) for the finish cuts. Not that you need any hints… super job
Hey was thinking that you could use the trick Keith Fener uses for straightening propeller shafts. Alternately heating with a torch and then quickly cooling the effected area with compress air and water mist. I've used his technique to straighten a severely bent leadscrew for a lathe and brought it back within a couple thousandths.
If you want to clamp things down to your fixture table using your Bessy clamps, attach the overhang clamps to the side of the table and move the item you need to clamp onto those. You should then be able to use the Bessy clamps the way you used to on your old table. Hope that works for you 😊
Good old school repair on the shaft, Oliver. And replacing the wheel was not fun. If you have another job like that, you should start with welding a 1/4" wide piece of strap all around the spokes and then weld the round bar to it. That will keep it straight and easy replacement for next time.
As soon as I saw that wheel I thought getting it straight would be a bit of work! Nice job though, perfectly good enough for its purpose. If you do another it might be worth tacking it, then setting the hub up vertically off the side of the bench so you can fully weld each spoke at a time to help prevent them pulling. Cutting and welding the rim to size first would also remove another potential source of warping from the bigger welds you needed in that area. If it came out slightly undersize you could just warm it up with the torch to get it on the spokes.
on those turbines we always stitch welded an extra new ring on the edge of the turbine to take wear then it was easy to cut off and replace. turbines then lasted many acres

“I’m not quite sure what i am going to do”
Enters next frame holding large sledge 😂
If you put a jack under the piece you are milling it should take out some of the chatter as its well out on the rim unsupported.
That Escco certainly handled the beet wheel - hard to imagine doing a job like that without a proper (large!) fixture table 🙌
The range of projects you undertake, and the range of difficulty exposed never fails to amaze me. Wobbles are nothing to an American screwdriver. Great watching once again. Thank you
Top work, Ollie. The farmers in your area must surely appreciate your work!
Another perfect video Oliver, repairing that cam wheel was a testament to your skills, that welding table was worth the cost
Man! When he started bashing the wheel with the sledgehammer... I felt sorry for that brand new table. 😅.
That's why you don't buy a cheap one with a mild steel top.
I love me Sunday snowball videos. As soon as it pops up, I pause and get me a cuppa tea, then 👀👀😏
i was amazed how true the big wheel was when u spun it
The fixture table is excellent.
I find these videos interesting because I get to see different approaches to solving problems.
These are the types of problems most encountered by home builders. When Something breaks, and there are no parts available you have to find a solution.
And Ollie is a master at finding solutions!
Hard days in the shed in winter. Thanks for sharing a day in your life. Great work on a variety of challenges.
Another great video Olly, I really enjoy these jobbing ones where’s there’s a mixture of welding & machining.
Ollie, that baler repair was right up your street!! Nothing easy and something to get your noddle working 👍👍
Funny, in the US we say.....right up your alley.

Well done, first class jobs, see you next week 👍
I did price up some Mig wire for cast but it was extremely expensive.
@snowballengineering It is expensive, even more so these days. I think you made the right choice going your way.👍
top bit of fabrication there Snow.
Exactly the same repair posted recently on a popular channel. They bored out the pin and press fitted a new one. Assuming the pin was part of the original casting I thought that’s a terrible idea. Again you’ve done it the right way. Good stuff 👍
Mr Snowball the engineering genius.
It's probably the thick end of 40 years since I last welded cast iron using nickel rods. I got very good results by cleaning each weld pass with a pneumatic needle scaler. That had the effect of peening each weld to help take the stress out, as well as removing the slag.
Nice job! You might use a needle gun to take off the slag after welding, takes the stress out of the welds and the parent material.
Great job on the wheel Oliver. Love how you used your welding table to do that job. 👍👍👍
Good morning, Oliver. A couple of jobs that needed an engineering pro to make them successful. Nice.

@@snowballengineering Yea, I couldn't tell from that angle. Merry Christmas, Oliver.
Nice job strightening that wheel.
Nice bread and butter jobs Snowy, now all you have to do is get paid for them!
I really like the green milling Machine. It looks like an odd monster insect, ready for odd milling jobs😎🦖🦖
When I see that machine it reminds me of 'Red Dwarf' space craft
@@peterattfieldme too, I always see *StarBug* in my mind when I see that machine.
I like the part with the banana

Love your channel, Ollie! Thanks so much for sharing. From Idaho .
It looks simple jobs but is not easy at it seams but you got there in the end and nice job 👍

A small jack under the machined area would also help support and reduce movements and vibrations. Great job overall!!
Thanks, this is good advice!

Good fix on the crank, A simple bolt and nut or machinist's jack to support under that part would be a good idea next time.

Also I think once I had clocked it true I would have drilled with a centre drill so there would be a reference point in case it moved,and it could then be welded on a rotary table off mill and then easily set back up again
Supporting underneath the place you are machining will help with vibrations and shtter.
Yep on all the above. You could hear it ringing when you milled the top. A good way to test is lighty whack the part with a wrench or something. If it dings you might have chatter, if it thuds, good to go. ... looks good!
Yes, i need to get some machinist jacks. Not being a trained machinist there's a lot i still need to learn and a lot i still need to buy.
the end result is nice as always!! 👍👍👍
Oliver did a great job with materials he had
Morning Oliver. Great vid as usual!
Happy days Oliver mate, getting nippy in the workshop now eh, proper job ans nicely presented as always 🎉 thanks for sharing
great video enjoy your wee break away from work
I'm not sure why but I found it funny when you were moving fast, then "banana", then fast, then "granola bar". 😂
Nice one Olly enjoy your holiday
Great content as always every project is a challenge when working on agri equipment

GOOD JOB Oli. 🍺🍺👊
You act like it's normal to work at 2.8 degrees! :) Thanks for the video.
😂Northern Europe would completely quiet down if we started looking at thermometers, at those temperatures...😂

That wheel is good enough for agricultural purposes!
More nice fixes to keep your farmers working!

If it came out slightly undersize you could just warm it up with the torch to get it on the spokes.
Not an expert but would it help better to weld opposite spokes rather than sequentially. I couldn't see fully...maybe he did.
Happy to see you taking breaks in the clips. Kinda wondered if you took good care of yourself. Or if you just worked your butt off.
toller job
Weld table clamps / toggle clamps would be a useful addition to your table. Or go ToT & make some ;)
Good examples of simple little repair jobs, not really that simple. Both made you use a few grey cells. All add to the repertoire of knowledge.
That’s wobble is not bad at all
Good video. Thank you.
The fine alignment tool is the most important one in your workshop I think😅
That looked like a tedious job Oliver. 😂😂😂
When doing symmetrical parts in CAD, it´s a lot faster to draw half the part and mirror it.
yes, but usually i just make it up as i go along.
Weld the spokes opposite one another next time Ollie as you would bolt up a flange.
Your dad has some good bulls in that building
