***Cheapest*** DIY Gantry Crane On YouTube
We build a gantry crane from two scrap bed frames. We recycle the bed frame's steel tubing to create a truss configuration for the vertical columns. And, we use the bed frame's wood legs for the column feet. Total out-of-pocket cost is only $35.

Threshing Barley with a 100 Year Old Threshing Machine
มุมมอง 590ปีที่แล้ว
We are running our 100 year old Case threshing machine. Today we are threshing or separating barley. We feed the threshing machine with bundles of barley. The threshing machine knocks the seeds out of the head of the stalk then shakes and blows to send barley (the seed) out the grain pipe and the stalks, chaff and hulls out the wind stacker pipe. The threshing machine is stationary and is power...

This is a short video showing the repair and restoration of a No. 1 John Deere ground powered sickle mower. Due to the condition of the sickle bar components we removed and replaced the sickle teeth. We also removed the guards (the stationary part of the sickle) so that we could remove the broken/rusted ledger plates and rivet in new plates. We also fabricated a pitman stick using hickory and t...
Don't let the wife mow, got it. Good thing she is one step ahead of me on that.
Ha! Good one! Thanks for watching...
I'm no expert but that barley looks like it could wait a week or two yet, pretty green. What's the rush?
Good question...the green you see are weeds (some sort of grass) that have grown up along with the barley. The barley was ready to be cut, but the weeds were still growing strong. Once cut we let the bundles dry for a week so that the green weeds have a chance to dry. Then we throw the bundles onto the wagon without fear of the weeds rotting. Thanks for watching!
3M weather stripping cement is great for this job, it’s great to hold it together
Thanks for the great tip and thanks for watching!
You guys are awesome! Great job! You would have had issues welding bed frame steel. It does not act like normal A36, I think it might be high carbon. Screws hold lots of things together. By the way almost every car and truck have two bolts holding the brakes on each wheel. I also love that band saw! Holy cow, what a saw. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comments!!! That band saw is awesome! We are fortunate to have it in our "arsenal". It was manufactured around 1900 (give or take 10 years) and was originally powered by a flat belt. It has a lot of OSHA hazards, but we understand that and work carefully. I love to hear it start--sounds like a jet engine spooling up!
You coulda bought a cheap welder for what those boxes of Self Tapping Sheet metal screws were worth - Wouldnt trust a load on those sheet metal screws, No way
The bed frame tubing is 5/8 inch diameter, 0.020 inch wall thickness (16mm, 0.5mm wall). Much too thin wall to weld with our welding skills. We considered using pop rivets in place of the sheet metal screws...we opted for self-drilling sheet metal screws for ease of assembly. The pop rivets will be "plan B" when the screws come loose. Thanks for watching!
you're going to poke your eye out....
That is a constant possibility doing what we do! Thanks for watching!
That's a creative use of the scrap bed frames to make the columns. Nice build! 👍
Thanks! Those bed frames were heading to the recycler at the same time we needed a way to lift the logs to the band saw...so it was a happy coincidence. Thanks for watching!
That's a good question--the tubing is 5/8 inch diameter, 0.020 inch wall thickness (16mm, 0.5mm wall). The long side rails were noticeably bent during daily use by a young teenager, so you are right that the tubing itself is not real stiff. However, in a truss configuration the system is much stronger. Our hoist's max lift is 300 lbs so we have tested this gantry crane to about 300 lbs.
Good design but how strong is that metal your using from the bed frame? I had a futon frame looked like that and the tubing wasn't very thick, could bend it by hand.

@@keepcalmandfarmon5401 true the truss setup will make it stronger, but one weak link will bring it all down. In highschool I had to build a bridge out of balsa wood sticks, it held 46lbs before it started to make sounds lol. Again nice build 👍
@@jonroland2702 That's funny...I also had a balsa wood bridge building contest in high school physics class! I had no concept of a truss configuration so I placed way down in the middle of the pack. My buddy won the competition, but, his Dad was an architect, so we accused him of having an unfair advantage!
Actually we use it to lift logs up to the bandsaw as well as moving machines around the Shoppe. Plan on using it to pull a motor/transmission out of a 2017 Model T truck
What Stuart said, except its a 1917 Model T Truck.
Y’all build a gantry crane just to lift that one bit of wood? 😂
We are all retired, and old so we lift with our brains and not our backs!
What's a gantry crane? I want one!!!
🤣Funny! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video sir, this was pretty much exactly the type of repair I was looking for.
Thanks for the positive feedback!!! I hope this type of repair works out for you.
Hello! I have codes p2420 and p0441. I have the check engine light and the traction control and 4wd do you think this is the same? Can’t seem to find a clear answer
I am not an expert mechanic by any means...so I can't say for sure if the repair in this video will fix your issue. P2420 and P0441 codes are related to the evaporator system, so maybe it might fix it?
Thank you for posting this video. I had the exact same codes on my 2010 RAV4 and I replaced the entire canister. I cleared the codes but still had permanent codes on the reader. After doing some research, I found out that the vehicle needs to recalibrate for a little bit. I drove it for about a week, plugged the reader in, and I have zero codes!
Excellent !!! I am so glad to hear you fixed the problem and now have NO CODES! I am also glad to hear the video was helpful, so thank you for posting the message. Remember...we are all in this together.
I don't understand how the pump can become exposed to water internally. Presumably, it is sealed, and constantly has a small flow of fuel vapor purging any moisture that might be in the pump and bringing it to the engine to be burned. Explanation?
I don't have an explanation...I wondered the same thing as you did, but didn't come up with the root cause. The new pump I installed in this video is still working today (I sold this RAV4 to my buddy in 2019 and he has not had any evap issues).
Nice job!
Thanks for watching!!!
Bypass the rubber part and just use the hex screws . Put 3 across and space them evenly all the way around .
Ha! I like that idea...it would be like studs on snow tires!
I do this glue on with my Lawn tractor for no expence and paying up to 300 dollars for chains or treaded tires? Works as long as I want it and Good traction.@@keepcalmandfarmon5401
Lol
Would this also solve the P0457 code problem? Its also an evap leak
Changing out the evap leak detection pump likely may NOT fix a P0457. P0457 is a code for the evap system detecting a large leak, so the evap leak detection pump seems like it is working properly (because it detected a leak). You may have a bad gas cap or a hole in the gas filler neck or in some of the piping to or from the evaporator--best to trouble shoot for leaks before changing out any parts.
@@keepcalmandfarmon5401 okay thank you, thats some great info
I just order a dust guard today for my Craftsman push mower. it does not work well without it. I had completely removed one. Because it started tearing up. I got a lot of build-up without it. I ordered one from Walmart.
I also tried running without the wheel guards...ONCE. Like yours did, my gear teeth plugged up severely.
Is there any way to adjust the dish shaped ring gear? Mine has to much play.
The big ring gear that is exposed on the JD No. 1 and No. 2 sickle mowers can be adjusted axially with adding and/or removing washers. This big gear is on the 1.5 inch diameter axle that runs between the two drive wheels. The spacing between the big ring gear and the smaller pinion gear--there is no adjustment that can reduce the gear teeth mesh spacing, for example, to account for gear teeth wear. You can get a FREE parts list with illustrations from Deere at partscatalog.deere.com/...search for "PCH74" for the No. 1 sickle mower. An operators manual can be purchased at techpubs.deere.com for a little more than $10. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you, now I won't add grip to my wheels. I didn't think about drive train issues.
Right-the extra traction makes the weak point of the system even weaker. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I have such admiration for the restorer's skill set. I have inherited one of these machines. It is not functional at the moment but I believe it is in good enough shape to be restored, based on your video. Alas, I am not capable of such a feat. I guess I'll just keep it out of the rain and let it remind me of Dad.
Thanks for watching. I wish you joy and blessings each time you look at that mower.
Thanks this helped a lot. I just found out my auto body shop that my insurance has me go to had replaced my vapor canister which resulted in an engine light. I can just fix this myself rather than let a mechanic steal more parts.
I am happy to hear that the video helped!!! My philosophy is: “We are all in this together”.
What about attaching soft spikes for golf shoes onto the wheels with glue or screws or both.
I had not thought of that! I like that idea-because if they fall off they would be relatively harmless (unlike the sheet metal screws I used).
Excellent! I just wanted to service my wheels and wondered what I'd find when I took them off.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
She's a BEAUT! Can't wait to see her in action this spring!!
We will be hitting the fields soon! Thanks for watching!!!😁
Wow!", "I can't wait for the spring planting video.",
Spring is on its way and us farmers are filled with hope! Thanks for watching!
Wow, that’s amazing that machine still works! The barley almost looks edible 😊
We did some extensive repairs a few years back to get the thresher up and running. Raccoons had chewed up a lot of the wood inside. Plus, they used it as their outhouse which rusted some of the sheet metal. Thanks for watching!!!
Great job on the barley threshing!

Thanks for sharing this!! Have a blade push mower and been looking for a solution , this will be perfect !! 😁👍🏻
Thanks for watching! Good luck!🙂
My 2017 Toyota Corolla SE has the exact same codes. I haven’t checked the cruise control but my ECO indicator definitely doesn’t turn on or work so that’s my punishment lol
I ignored my issue for quite a while since it didn’t affect the drivability but Toyota’s “punishment” finally broke me down! Hope you get to the bottom of your issue. Thanks for watching…
You can drill that old pin out, use a hardened drill bit, grind the brass busing out with a demeil tool , put small amount of grease on new pin and bushing .
Thanks for watching and commenting! The method I showed is just one approach…yours would work too. I’ve only done this repair once-and as can be seen in the video it wasn’t very elegant.🙂
Thanks for the video. I have a 09 with the 2.5. When the engine is at operating temp, if I go run an errand and restart the car after sitting for 10 minutes, my idle drops to 500 rpm for a few seconds, runs rough, and then idle smooths back out to 650-700 rpm. I cleaned the throttle body, MAF sensor, replaced coils, plugs and air filter. I also changed the ECT and crankshaft sensors with no luck. I don’t have any CELs, and it doesn’t happen when the engine is cold. Any idea what it could be? Without a CEL 2 different mechanics didn’t want to diagnose it.
I am no expert mechanic so I can’t offer any good advice or opinions. However, you said no CEL, but did you scan for codes? Possibly there could be codes that don’t send a check engine light?
@@keepcalmandfarmon5401 Unfortunately, I still scanned it and no stored codes.
انا كانت عندي مشكله تسريب وكانت تطلع السياره اشارات المكينة والtrack off وَكِذَلُكِ 4wd وقالو لي علبة التبخير وغيرتها وغيرت غطاء البنزين ومافي فايده وكنت بغير تانك البنزين لكن بالصدفة شفنا انبوب متصل بعلبة التبخير كان فيه ثقب صغير وبدلته والحمد لله اختفت الاشارات .. القصد أن الخلل احيانا يكون بسيط ولكن بعض المهندسين يتجه للحلول المكلفة قبل ما يفكر بالاشياء البسيطه اللي قد تكون هي السبب في المشكله

I just found and bought one of these too! A JOHN DEERE NO 1 Sickle mower. Mine is missing tool box lid, and pitman arm and attaching bracket and hardware. And I don't have the bar the cutting blades rivet to. Mine still has a lot of original paint.
Nice! And with some original paint-that’s amazing since 99.9% of these old mowers were stored out in the elements for the last 90 to 100 years. Are you going to restore your machine for display and/or use?
This video was definitely helpful, thank you. Where’s the trouble shooting video? I wanted to see how you determined that it was the leak detection pump ?
Great ideas, i came from part 2, i wanted to re-tread my wheels. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching BOTH parts!!!
Nicely done, i will give this a try now. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching…hope it helps!
I have the same one only difference is mine has a red engine cover, replaced it with all new wheels which made it look much nicer than these older ones and it runs so well for being a 2007. Love it
