We had a 1469. Mowed lots of hay with it. Very good machine.

As a retired NH employee it is good to see one of these Haybines running again!

Very happy to see it running and working for you. I have used those fuel pumps,like the one you Bought. Have a spare with you in the Machine. Also those are pusher pumps so have it near the lowest part of your Gas Tank. Just a few helpful tips from a friendly viewer. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.

Glad you got it going

It’s amazing just how expensive heavy equipment is to own operate and maintain! And especially hydraulics and it’s hard to comprehend that a hydraulic pump pumps oil and it can still wear out and sometimes you wonder is it worth fixing or do I buy a new tractor!😀🇨🇦

loe it when people still do there own work.

I am putting together a 1905 lablond 15 inch lathe 6 ft bed quick change.

it is a champion machine from a shoe and boot repair shop

Sometimes things go well but the true test will be in the field. Good luck!

Dang that shop's looking good

Way too complex for me. I grew up with a 4 bar ground driven one way rake with the tall skinny steel wheels.

Nice score with the structural steel channels. ❤

First time I’ve seen one like that

Is it the machine, the insert, or the video...? Sounds off... ❤ Maybe being belt- driven makes that sound...

Tom, is there any chance that frost heave can put the mill out of level in the winter? ❤

Hi you need clean or wash the tractor off

Tom, I think you'll need to check for oil leak... lol.❤

Will the channel bend under the stresses from the trailing steering tire load as you go over bumps on the road? The channel seems to stick out a fair distance with no additional support, may be an idea to add addition depth to the channel on the steering tire load side. this can be done by adding a section under the channel from rear axle to location of the steering tire. This would add a concentrated point load at the rear axle on the channel, if you were to weld a lighter open web truss section under the channel and under the axle to transfer the loads further to the front this would solve the concentrated point loading. This would only be needed a couple of feet each side of the axle, then the additional section under the channel would help to carry the steering tire load. The Channel has limited load carrying ability on it's side.

Good to see your progress. Hope you have a copy of Stan Lunstrum's circular sawmill publication. If not, I can link to a pdf copy. www.fpl.fs.usda.gov/documnts/misc/circsaw.pdf Wondering if you can just roll the carriage to the far end on your temporary tracks to avoid having to lift it off ??

i asked one of the forums this question last year, this was their response: " How far should your saw be from the carriage? The biggest thing you'll have to consider is how far your dogs stick out. You need to clear them when they're all the way back. The next thing is how thin you want to cut. If you're looking for a dog board of 1", you should have 1/2" on your headblocks to support the board, or you could have a very unfortunate accident. I'm not sure what you mean by the floor of the carriage. Your carriage headblocks have to clear the collar. The collar sticks out more than the saw. If you're running an 8" collar, your carriage is going to sit about 5" higher, depending on the curve and thickness in the headblocks." i hope this helps... joe b.

Wow part 50 already and I’ve seen them all

remember the saw blade that has been hammered, will flatten out some, not sure what the amount is ... i think the hammered blade is cupped away from husk frame, then opens up when spinning...

I have a South Bend #10. think it was made in 1942..... I call it war lathe.... I think yours is a bit newer.... Thanks Tom, really enjoying the sawmill videos.

That tool holder belongs in a museum

We bot have something in common. Yep we both have a metal trash can. I even have the lid to mine. It is at least 40 years old because it was here when I bought the place and that has been 39 years ago. I also have 2 milk cans that were here.

Wow nice

That rectangular tube I’d say is a good plan and that tube generally has rounded corners so the profile should somewhat match the original rail. I’m sure the tubing didn’t come cheap though.

Wow, sounds great !!

I don't know what's more colorful, the blue and green flames or that shirt. ❤

A lot more work ahead

Neighbor helping neighbor... another reason to subscribe to this channel. Keep up the good work, Tom. ❤

Just fit on that trailer

Waiting a couple months and the parts will be sub-par...That is why we have stick welders, mig welders, a lathe, milling machine and a forge. I love being Able to make nearly any part I need for any project...New subscriber and a brother in rust.

My son bid on a Baileah horizontal band saw that will cut up to 18" diameter metal. Nobody else bid and he got it for a dollar. He just picked it up and it is a 2,000 lb monster. There are still good deals out there.

There's going to be an operator's platform...? And a shed roof... ❤

Nice size LeBlond lathe. It even has the taper attachment. Hopefully the ways are not too worn and you can do some accurate work with it.

Technically that isn’t a 3 phase converter. It is a VFD(variable frequency drive). That said, if it is the correct VFD it can run a 220v three phase motor off of 220v single phase. If that mill is wired for 440v, it isn’t going to work with that VFD. Too much missing info to provide much help. I run VFD’s on a couple machines in my machine shop. When sized correctly for the motor and wired correctly, they can run 3ph equipment quite adequately. However, the best way to run the 3ph equipment is a rotary phase converter.

50 gallons of evaporust….. make it shine Congratulations

Wow. Nice machines

When you use a forge out side in the cold it will take longer to get to temp on your steel, Also you will have longer to work the steel if your anvil is not cold. When you place hot steel on a cold anvil it will suck the heat from your work into the anvil first and fast. Take a big pice of steel and get it good and hot, lay it on your anvil and let it set, may want to do the heat a time or two when the anvil is about to hot to place your hand on you are set to begin working. You may not be a blacksmith yet, But you have a forge an anvil and a big hammer so you are set to go. work your steel hot , don't try to work it to long or cold. you have time even if you have to go back to the fire more time then you think you need to. Hot steel will more better and faster then cold will, your steel can look black and still be around 500 deg. or higher. try to stop and go back into the fire when your steel starts to lose color. You did good and it's a start, Take care and looking forward to more from you.

I wish I could still travel and take road trips like I used to. I find all kinds of things on Market place I would like to have but just don't trust my health to drive much out of town. i used to love driving and have 3 good running pickup trucks and an SUV but most of the time they just sit in my driveway waiting for me to go to town. Thanks for bringing us along. You have captured time by taking this video. So in a way you have frozen time for others to watch for years to come.

Who packs an umbrella like a shot gun...lol.❤

I'm glad irrigating is not on my list of things to get done. But I'd think keeping the pump area clean of brush would be a priority to maintaining that pump area. Avoiding sand would not be as easy. Good that you are lending neighbors a hand. You are valuable to your valley. Enjoy.

I am attaching a link to Finno Ugric channel. The video is in another language than English but has sub titles in English. I had already watched so many You Tube videos on VFD's that I had finally decided the Huanyang VFD that I had which is the same one you have must have been defective. But even though he was speaking in a different language he is the one that flipped the switch inside my head of how to program mine. I love it now. I will never go back to single phase again on my restoring of machine tools. My old Clausing model 100 lathe had a single-phase motor on it and I wanted variable speed. Now that i understand how it works and have done the conversion it works better than most of the new import lathes now on the market. I hope this helps you I also bought a Bridgeport Clone mill that was a 3 HP 3 phase motor with old relay logic on it. I gutted the electrical panel and installed a Fugi Mini VFD that I truly love. I am on the short side of being literate when it comes to electrical/electronics so If I can do it, I am sure anyone including you can make it work. One of my go to resources is " Hobby Machinist forum. " The folks there on "All about Electrical" were patient with me and help me still when I get lost. Thanks for bringing us along. My hobby is repair and restoration of Antique and Vintage machine tools so your channel is a great addition to the subscriptions I am subscribed to. I am a new subscriber and I look forward to more of your videos. Terry from Texas

Farming, none stop problems, repairs, maintenance , ingenuity and the next day it starts all over again.

Nice size for what you will probably be doing. Most people want smaller ones so the big ones usually aren’t wanted. It’s amazing what you all got. But you can build very small accurate parts with a huge lathe. I did when I made adapter bushings to put crank together for my 1926 Harley years ago but yes, a smaller lathe would have been handier.

Just found your channel and subscribed. Very nice lathe

Wow what a great score ! There’s so much potential bushings brake drums rotors my mind is going crazy imagining what you can all do with your treasures 😀🇨🇦

Do you know how many HP the motor is on your Lathe, The big one. You can build a converter that makes single phase to three phase. There are many videos of people doing it here on youtube. You can also buy single phase to three phase converters. you had a great haul with those trips. I am happy for you. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.

Nice find, congrats. Wow, and a small one too. Hope mama is as excited as you are. Would have left a thumbs up, but seems can't do that now with only a thumbs down button showing. ??
