can I ask you what the total cost was for this ?

Where did you get your gears an whats the ratio

Would you possibly have drawings for this groover?

If you have ever been within distance of a machine shop you have been a victim of machinist blue paste. If you have not been then your day will come. Make sure to takeoff your socks before you walk across your new carpet.

Pushing it on by hand seems like a recipe to get an uneven finish, I must have missed the bit where he explains why it's not a problem.

Great video

trying to figure out how n what to do to obtain a 4 jaw for my american turnmaster 13x 30.any tips im a tyro /new born to machine world!

id love to c u put sox on my rooster lmfao

thank u for doing this having the balls to sow your talent , i just started a year ago rebuilding a brigport j head n an othd lathe no seriouse injuries yet !

Steve, I think you meant to say “Prussian blue”, not Persian.

Solid work, good job. And while I am a leftist, Let's Go Brandon, is one of the funniest things to come about regarding politicians.

Pure genius! I couldn't do it! You make it look simple.

You have so much fun, great video as usual.

I like your precision. Wayne would have had me weld up the noncleanup areas and reaching. Those old axles are usually hard, sometimes difficult to thread. Good choice on chrome moly.

I just bought a pair of these and wanted to try my luck, and with vise grips I couldn’t get the back cap to open. Looking at how you are doing it, with lathes and such, and taking 6 hours even with a workshop full of supplies, there is not a chance that I’ll get those corroded batteries out.

I have the first version with the single bearings. Late father in law bought it new and used it in his small 2 bay rural garage business. Became mine in the 90's and has balanced many many tires since for myself and family. On his advise, I never use the arm attachment thing. I just stick a weight on lightly with my fingers to get me in the ballpark. Turn it a quarter turn and repeat until she no longer moves. Just like you'd use a motorcycle balancer. Those small cones are just a little too small for Mazda / Hyundai 67.1 mm rim center holes so I'm about to make a 3" cone. I still have a bunch of the used lead weights he gave me as well. It'll be my sons when I'm gone. Dead simple design that works very well. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Steve, I always enjoy your videos on the old cars. I have two Model A Ford vehicles, and I can see the similarities between them.

Hello Steven. Nice shop. Just wanted to mention, to maybe save you time in the future.... A bearing race for sure is very hard, but I have bored them with a short carbide bar in the lathe before. Carbide is harder than bearing steel, and it will cut it. TP grinder is great, don't get me wrong. Just suggesting another way that might be easier. Best regards. --Doozer

Your videos are so good in that you go through all the details of your repairs. Great camera placement and zoom in. Need to show this to Wayne.

Excellent craftsmanship! I love it.

Ok maga

There's no need to bring politics into the machine shop. As a veteran I do not appreciate filming the flag backwards.

The original patent: ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/2752788

I worked at a gas station that sold a lot of tires in 1972. The Snap-On dealer demonstrated one of these balancers to the owner but he didn’t buy it. I found a used one in a local classified add paper a few years later and my dad and I used it for years. I think mine is a little older than yours because it has two larger bearings, one on each end of the shaft. The bearings sit in the concave on top of the upright posts and the weight bar is a little different. You have to look through a small hole in the middle of the sliding weight to see how much weight to add. Dad always said it was too sensitive, but I would attach the weights loosely and slide them as you did. I can usually get the wheel to stop at any point and not move. I just used it a few days ago to balance new trailer tires. FYI, I think the instructions say not to hammer the weights on the wheel while on the bearings is because the bearings could be damaged.

Great job

Hi, I have one of these i bought new in the early 80's. After a few years of using it when I'd balance a tire to perfection, I could remove the tire and wheel, spin the cones and shaft to a different position, put it back on the balancer and it would no longer be balanced. The balancer shaft is perfectly straight, the cones are in excellent condition and the bearings are good. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

Excellent video Steven! Thank you so much for sharing Wayne's collection.

That's what I call beautiful overkill . Nice long throw on the ram, really versatile tool . :)

Thank you for the time to show traditional good old-fashioned engineering methods, it's appreciated

Great work. I always learn something from you. You are very skilled.

Rag joint.

Steve, I want to thank you for showing us the Spider and how you made it. I had no idea that that car had such a item. When you go to a museum, you see the vehicle and if you are lucky it might be driven. I like seeing the working parts and how to fix them. THANKS!

Hi, I have this same balancer. I am missing the part that shows you where to position the weights.

Y’all did an awesome job helping Clark! Thank you!

Hi Steven, good to meet ya :)

Any chance you would sell a built one?

Watching Clarke up on the ladder and Keith Rucker working to get those supports square and level within 10 thousands was great entertainment. Hurray for Josie and her award winning feeding the troops! What a great group of friends coming together to help put Clark improving the Windy Hill Foundry. I love the hat Steven! Thanks for sharing!

Dark Brandon rules!

Thanks, an interesting tour.

Hi Steven : Question what relation has the bevel gear, small gear or how many teeth pinion or crown. Thank you for your help .🌞 ⚽ 🛠

I would sooo buy one of these if I could

The measure should have the balancing weight at 6 oz mark position when you use the spring marking bar that tells you where the weights go. Being at the 6oz mark position with the spring marker narrows the marking position. At zero would be wider giving the wrong weight position.

wow how could anyone make any money balancing tires using that? It must have taken you hours on end to balance one tire.

Hello, can I receive the instructions by e-mail?

Seems that you now have a stuck absorber ?

Nice balancer item. I wonder where could i get one.

Thanks, I really enjoyed watching this video. You show use items that we can't see at an auto museum. I can't wait until the next video.😊

Truly amazing!

Que cantidad de dientes en piñón y corona y que modulo gracias excelente su trabajo y video

I see you hold down with #1 and #2 spark plug holes and at the water pump mounting area along with blocking up at the head bolt bosses How does this twist or bend the head if at all? Just wondering how to balance the shape it will take on the mill table with what it will do on the block. Thanks in advance. Great videos!
