My workshop is usually around 9 deg C in winter and over 40 deg C in summer! Never seen proper snow in my life! I don't envy you working in an open workshop with snow on the ground at all! I'd rather sweat than shiver any day. Amazing job you did there Oliver.
I saw snow once and I never want to see it again (other than on TV or RUclips). I hate the cold, but it's a bit too warm here in Queensland Australia at the moment.
Nice to meet you Oliver! I’m sure you know this trick, but in case others don’t, when it’s cold, take your propane torch, and give it a little heat before you paint, the warm steel will help the paint dry and stick. You are a true craftsman, and a joy to watch. I’m in America, in western Pennsylvania.
You reminded me of standing in front of gas heater at Granny’s. Freeze on one side and burn on the other! 😁 I have watched several videos but never heard why it’s called Snowball Engineering. Be Safe!
Sorry I didn’t catch your last name at the beginning of the video . I thought maybe it had to do with how some projects can start small and “Snowball “ into something bigger. Great video and keep up the good work!
Nice work, Oliver. I know you said you haven't introduced yourself before, and most youtubers don't bother too either, so there's no need to worry on that front fella, oops, sorry, Oliver. If anyone was curious about who you are or wanted to know any other information about you, they just need to make a couple of clicks ending with "About" in the bottom right hand corner and they would see your name "Oliver" clearly written. Unfortunately, most viewers, so it seems, do not know how to or can not be bothered to check your channel information for one reason or another. I have my opinion as to why that is, as most viewers live in America, but I will keep that opinion to myself for fear of offending viewers. I am looking forward to viewing your next gem, Mr Oliver Snowball, Sir. 😉 I think you informing us on every job you do is a good thing. I, for one, am very glad you do it. Otherwise, we may as well watch your videos with the sound off and guess what the project is about and most likely remain clueless.🤭 So, come on, everyone. Tell your friends, your mates, and people in the street to watch and subscribe to Snowball Engineering and watch some great work being done👍 Well done me old cocker. 🇬🇧🇺🇦⚒️
Oli, you are one of the cleanest welders I’ve ever watched work. Your attention to detail is amazing! Oh and your work with a hammer is extraordinary. If you needed camber ask the customer to show you it in the specs he provided. That’ll shut em up.
Thanks for another excellent video, Oliver. You did mention your name in one of your videos. This video was especially fun for me because my grandfather was a Swiss engineer who went to the US the end of the 19th century and built up a foundry that made potato harvesting machinery, the Champion Potato Machinery Company in Hammond, Indiana.
+Oliver, you have done what the high paid engineers couldn't... Rebuilt the piece of equipment as it should have been built, originally... I have to watch and rewatch your videos so I can follow and understand what you are doing... It is akin to proving a theorem in geometry... I love your videos as your brain wanders through the fog and comes out in the blazing sunshine... Thank you for what you do... Dave
You sure get some interesting and sometimes tricky jobs in, mostly farming machinery by the look of it. But you always work out how to do the repairs or modifications and the job ends up looking like it came out of the factory that way.
Another great video Oliver, could I request that when you've done the in shop works you might take us out and see you fitting the finished product. as no amount of explaining would be better than seeing them in situ, and of course it is extra quality content.
Be interesting to see the parts reinstalled on the digger. Thanks for bringing us along. Snow and cold here in the US Midwest also. Last few days below zero F with lots of wind.
Very good fabrication, sometimes it is hard to get a complete picture, but you described it well. I used to dislike working outside in the winter, but as long as I had a bottle of gas and a pre-heating torch it was bearable. Good job, stay safe and well 👍
Excellent video and professional looking product. Thank you for showing where this fit and how for those of us who knew potatoes need to be harvested, but never knew how.
I’m watching this Sunday night here in Aus 🇦🇺 tomorrow I have 38°C and for most of the week as well. I would love a bit of that snow on my workshop roof.
Fantastic job as always! Snowball Engineering, Cutting Edge Engineering, On Fire Welding and IC Weld are my top YT channels. When I have time to watch videos that is. I hate the cold! Today is the first day in two weeks it's been above 32°F or 0°C. I have found that when I'm working in my cold shop, the most effective way to warm in front of a stove is to remove my jacket. Warm my front and back then hold my jacket up with the inside facing the stove. That way the inside of my jacket and my body are both warm. Standing in front of my stove with my jacket on just warms up the outside of my jacket and the jacket does what it is supposed to do, keep the heat/cold from getting to my body. Give it a try.
As usual Oliver another really good video, informative sensible commentary outlining what is required and how you intend to achieve it, and always adding those little touches to do the best job possible for the customer.
Oliver yes I think you are right the positive camber is to allow for the torsional twist on the rectangle box due to amount of wheel offset in standard configuration. With wheel on outside it would have more leverage than new position under harvester so able to twist box. I’m sure it will make it easier for tractor driver when navigating roads as the wheel won’t be sticking out so far frightening oncoming drivers 😂 The cold weather always shows up the batteries which are on the way out, I’m sure in the summer it’s fine 😝 Really appreciate your time and effort on these videos 👍
It’s always good practice when altering different machinery by using thicker materials then previously by the manufacturer. Great video always interesting to watch other tradesmen fabricate & welding.🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Nice job. Might be nice to see some footage of this thing in action after it’s all done and re-installed. Thanks for posting. Cheers from the states! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
The last spud harvester I worked on had a rotating deck. With a load of people standing around it. All trying to grab the spuds before the earth got dumped back on the field. That was about 1980. Things have moved on. Nice neat alteration. Should do the job. And be stronger than original. You have the cold, and snow. We are close to 40C. And possibly the second cyclone of the season. One extreme to the other.
Appreciate you’ve got some proper cold up there recently. Us southerners have got off lightly. I need to get back to my workshop to check out the never ending winter condensation issues on my lathe and mill. Come on springtime 👍
Thanks for the share Oliver, l’m enjoying your great videos and yes you do explain what you are doing and why very well. I’m from Richmond North Yorkshire ,now living in the East Midlands and is great to hear the Yorkshire accent Oliver. Your workshop is looking much tidier on video 👍
Hey! Glad to see your work again, and vid production improving with every next one. Consider using electric heated vest or jacket, also there are heated insoles. You just plug them in powerbank and they work like heated car seats. Lifesaver for me when working in a cold warehouse.
Well done young man. Your ability to foresee a problem or fitment issue and come up with a solution is really impressive. One note for what it's worth and friendlyadvice. You take great care in using eye, ear and especially respiratory protection. But at times you neglect your back. Seeing you hunched over working on something at ground level hurts MY back just watching. Raise your workpiece whenever possible and get yourself one of those posture devices as part of your protection gear. They help keep your back and neck in proper alignment. You're too young to start developing a "Buffalo hump".
Hi Oliver 😊, great bit of engineering on this one, you've certainly got an eye for detail, and the gouging, plating , and welding were top notch, another quality job going to a customer. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Nice work as usual. You didn't sound too confident about the strengthening box around the round bit - but I kinda liked it, and you did a great job of it :)

Another satisfied customer, no doubt.
😅When you are thinking we can see the bobble on your hat spinning. Well done!
😂
😄
I was UK aftersales manager for Grimme UK for 20 years, all I can say is, you have made a 1st class job of modifying this axle.
Here's a contribution towards the new battery for the forklift.
Thanks very much!
My workshop is usually around 9 deg C in winter and over 40 deg C in summer! Never seen proper snow in my life! I don't envy you working in an open workshop with snow on the ground at all! I'd rather sweat than shiver any day. Amazing job you did there Oliver.
I prefer the cold to the heat. Can always put more clothes on 😆
I saw snow once and I never want to see it again (other than on TV or RUclips). I hate the cold, but it's a bit too warm here in Queensland Australia at the moment.
Welding is a far better winter sport.
The heat is in the tools. The harder you work the warmer you stay.🍻@@snowballengineering

@allenbrown7820 That's what I assumed Snowball ment in this instance as well.
You know when its a big job when Oliver gets the BIG grinder out .
Very nice! I always love how many different things that you do with your fork lift 😂
It’s a multitool 🤣
Nice work, Oliver.
I know you said you haven't introduced yourself before, and most youtubers don't bother too either, so there's no need to worry on that front fella, oops, sorry, Oliver.

another excellently edited and informative video.
Thanks
Thank you!
Lovely to meet you Oliver
Would love to see pictures of the parts mounted afterwards
Hello Oliver from the USA.....that project is a bit of a thinking project. Enjoyed it! Excellent work as always.
Top job as ever, mods looked factory 👍
Ur one heck of a welder/fabricator.
Solid design, beautifully finished. Thanks for the videos and motivation!
As always Oliver. A smashing job you did. Your a one man Wonder. Awesome job ob as always.
Great job Olly, glad your keeping yourself warm in the workshop - as best you can! All the best, Ian

He does a good job at explaining what it's supposed to being doing and how he's going to go about fixing it.
Oliver, The potato farmer must be very content with this super modified axle. I am sure to purchase a new one would be big bucks.
You sure get some interesting and sometimes tricky jobs in, mostly farming machinery by the look of it. But you always work out how to do the repairs or modifications and the job ends up looking like it came out of the factory that way.
Hey Oliver. Fantastic channel! I am binge watching all your videos. Love the channel! Keep up the great work. Thank you!!!
Another great video Oliver, could I request that when you've done the in shop works you might take us out and see you fitting the finished product. as no amount of explaining would be better than seeing them in situ, and of course it is extra quality content.
It’s not often I refit the parts I’ve repaired, I just get brought them as you see in the video.
Altered and stronger than original, lovely job ! thanks for filming your work. Brian from South Yorkshire
Be interesting to see the parts reinstalled on the digger. Thanks for bringing us along. Snow and cold here in the US Midwest also. Last few days below zero F with lots of wind.
Nearly 100F here in Queensland Australia at the moment and heaps of rain, although we've just had a couple of days without rain just now.
@@BrucePierson I didn't realise Aussies still use Fahrenheit.
@@elliejackson6907 We don't normally, I just converted our Centigrade to Fahrenheit because Fahrenheit was already mentioned.
Another great project done and your plasma table is a great asset to you ,well done again.
Loved the part, lighting your heater!
Very good fabrication, sometimes it is hard to get a complete picture, but you described it well. I used to dislike working outside in the winter, but as long as I had a bottle of gas and a pre-heating torch it was bearable. Good job, stay safe and well 👍
Another great video Oliver keep up the good work you do a grand job 👍
Would love to see it back together
Another great video Oliver, I always look forward to Sunday now 🤙
Excellent video and professional looking product. Thank you for showing where this fit and how for those of us who knew potatoes need to be harvested, but never knew how.
Nice work! And thanks for all your (quite understandable) explanations. 👍
I’m watching this Sunday night here in Aus 🇦🇺 tomorrow I have 38°C and for most of the week as well. I would love a bit of that snow on my workshop roof.
Dual Shield MIG should be used for thicker metals and Solid Wire MIG is used in thinner metals that's what I've always heard. Great shows Floyd
Ollie playing 4D chess with that bit of kit!! Great job though fella 👍👍 I always look forward to the Sunday Snowball upload!
That preheat didn't damage the red paint.I am impressed with how durable that is. Another great video. 👍
Another great video Oliver!
absolutly awsome job enjoyed every bit thanks much keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always a pleasure watching you work, Ollie. Nice job explaining that complicated bit of reengineering, well done. Stay warm!
Oliver you are good man. I enjoy your work, and your videos. Thanks Oliver🍺🍺
It would be interesting to see some of the equipment you modified in ACTION.
Great video. First class work, as always. Thank you for sharing your work
Great job Oliver we love your videos in the U.S.
Love the channel pal. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Thanks, will do!
Great video Oliver. Love to see how you problem solve and get things done!

Nicely done.
Has been cold this week, at least you were inside from the wind. It was bl**by cold outside working on the loco. Superb job!
Well done Ollie, another banging job. You made lining up those big pieces look easy. All the best.
Another great (and challenging) job Oliver
Thank You Oliver! Greetings from the North Country USA 😊
It’s always good practice when altering different machinery by using thicker materials then previously by the manufacturer. Great video always interesting to watch other tradesmen fabricate & welding.🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Nice job. Might be nice to see some footage of this thing in action after it’s all done and re-installed. Thanks for posting. Cheers from the states! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
Spectacular work as usual. and enjoyable video
Morning Oliver from one fabricator to another. Chris Manchester
Morning!
Spokój, przemyślane decyzje, wiedza i narzędzia wtedy robota wychodzi super !😀
Nice job.
That was great ! Thanks
Awesome, great job, thank you for sharing, I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
The last spud harvester I worked on had a rotating deck. With a load of people standing around it. All trying to grab the spuds before the earth got dumped back on the field. That was about 1980.

Modern machines still often have pickers onboard, picking out the tops, stones, bad spuds and clods.
Yeah, a bit on the warm side here in Queensland at the moment. Hopefully that cyclone goes away, we've had more than enough disasters lately.
Appreciate you’ve got some proper cold up there recently. Us southerners have got off lightly. I need to get back to my workshop to check out the never ending winter condensation issues on my lathe and mill. Come on springtime 👍

Great job Oliver. It looks as though it was originally manufactured like that.
Well done young man. Your ability to foresee a problem or fitment issue and come up with a solution is really impressive.

You're too young to start developing a "Buffalo hump".
That was good gouging you did. Another great job you done as usual. Thank you Oliver for another top notch video.
Loved the gusset idea on the swinging arm improving German engineering, Ace.
Hi Oliver 😊, great bit of engineering on this one, you've certainly got an eye for detail, and the gouging, plating , and welding were top notch, another quality job going to a customer. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
would love to see that at work. have no idea how it works. thanks, hope to see you soon.
Hi Oliver, Another awesome video.
Very impressive.
From kiwi land
Great video. Super filming. Thanks
You do a good job on everything you tackle
Great job as always Olly makes my Sunday
That, mr Snowball, was some heavy modifications! I had no idea where it was going... and I still does not.. But great video! Thanks!
12:55...it's FREEZING here in Minnesota...(!)
Nice work with the gouging. 😀
Top job as per usual feller!
Wow; Oliver, you can walk fast 😂😂😂👍👍👍.
Really enjoying your videos. You have a serious skill👌
I could imagine a gantry crane would be very useful, certainly with how big some of these parts are
Very impressive work! Young man! Great job! Keep it up! Thanks for posting!👌👍
Thank you, Oliver. Nice to finally meet you. 😊
Great work on the modifications
Great to see you, Oliver.
Nice work 👏
Loved the treading on the birds nest to see if it was empty 😁 and the standing at the heater 😂 excellent work as always.👍
I wasn’t sure if it was a mouse nest or not, didn’t want them running out at me 🤣
Nice work as usual. You didn't sound too confident about the strengthening box around the round bit - but I kinda liked it, and you did a great job of it :)
I think it’ll move the weak point further down the tube as it’s the tube that’s the weak point, not so much the joint.
Good to know your name,nice to meet you 😊
Great content as usual. Nice job mate👍🏴
