I find myself enjoying when he has to add new grease, because that means he's gonna clean the parts too! I love seeing old machines get cleaned up and repaired to where they're running like new
I'm in the US. I have the same grinder in green. I bought it for 30 bucks. New bearings all the way around and the lock was broke in mine. My lock was also broke, ended up having to order one from Europe. Glad I put the money into this grinder, it's been a hell of a tool.
I love seeing older tools being repaired and being used. The modern tools nowadays are definitely less superior than their predecessors. I still use tools from Elu, AEG, Wolf Sapphire, Black and Decker Professional. Stuff made to a higher standard along with all the other more modern gear I own. Superb repair job keeping another old girl working. Always great content to watch with a cup of Rosie Lee. Cheers Dean 👍
My main drill is a Metabo from the 80s. Ebay find for 20€. A modern equivalent is 200€ new. Awesome machine, powerful and smooth, 2 speed gearbox, big 13mm Röhm Supra Chuck those are like 80€ on their own. There is no difference between that drill and a brand new one. Not much has changed I had it stripped all the way to give it a onceover.

I’m such a child, that bearing making a fart noises when you pushed it on made me giggle. 😂 that really is an old war horse of a grinder. Nice video.👍🏻
A good half my tool arsenal is 15+ years old, like the first gen Dewalt 18v stuff, and if I include unpowered hand tools I'd say I've got several over 50yrs old... love seeing old stuff get resurrected
Greetings Dean, I have a few items in red but marked up as Makita "Site". These came around with the tool reps as cheaper because you did not case or any goodies. Never let me down. Not as old as this Old timer though. Good job done..... Bob (Weston super Mare)
Love the older model tools. They were built so robust. They just don’t make them like that anymore. That grinder will probably hog metal for another 20 years or more!
That’s been around for a while I used one like that my Father in law had in his work shop in the 1980’s it was a workhorse of a machine he had a newer blue one too the red one was fitted with a big knotted coarse brush as it was all stick welding then.
G'day Dean This should go into the archives as the reference piece for why you can't go wrong with Makita and a bit of maintenance. What more can you say about how quality bearings will likely make a tool last, compared to the relatively tiny cost saving using Chinesium crap, like you've shown with Malworkee. I'll always stick with Makita thanks. Cheers from Australia.
Just wondering if it would be a good idea to clean up or even skim the commutator segments while you're in there. The brushes will of course wear down the to natural shape but will be arcing for a while until they do.
Instead of grinding a normal 17mm spanner look for a bicycle wrench (they're much thinner but plenty strong enough for that job), on most bikes the wheel locking nuts are 17mm so it's a fairly common size on such tools and they're cheap compared to a regular workshop spanner.
In my bike days pre-covid I used to carry daily a bike multitool, c02 cartridge, inner tube and a 13mm wrench cut in half for portability. Quick release axles are a big no in france, your wheels will disappear in seconds. I kid you not, there was a week a had 3 flat tires
Makita actually had 3 colours out at the a same time. Grey , red and standard makita colour green. I was told grey was low end , red home do it yourself level and standard green being best quality! I don’t know. Obviously different prices accordingly
Makita has a Maktec version which is usually red. Glad Makita changed their branding colour not fond of the colour red and I be embarrassed people thinking Im using a Milwaukee power tool.😂
Didn’t Makita have a low grade tool called Maktec that’s red? Or is this more like the new machines like impact drivers that you can get in many different colours?
These were labeled BOSS in this part of Europe. I have a machine like that too. Unkillable. I also have a planer in this color. Which type of parts can fit it? Greetings from Hungary.
My Dear Brother Dean, I don't know about others that were born and live in America not traveling to other countries that use the 240 VAC, but what is the difference between these plugs like this one you're using you need an adapter ? Please go over this in a video because we use 240 VAC for Dryers etc. and there are different plugs for those and I couldn't begin to name all of them, but maybe I can even find some more info about it.
A standard British plug also adopted by the Irish. Is rated for 13 amps an will have a Fuse in it of 13 amps or less. The blue plug a "commando" plug is rated for 16 amps and is unfused still at 240v when it's coloured blue.
@@davedunnelectrical3059 Its funny how the UK uses a 13amp plug even though they use ring circuits that can deliver way more than that. I would bet it could easily handle 15amps continuously and even 20 for a short while.
@@gerard_3864 the usual UK-plugs for 240 V have a limit to 13 A by internal fuse. This is good for about 3.000 watts. Maybe this grinder is more powerful. These plug and socket system are used in work shops, industry and on jobsides. they are for heavy duty Maybe this grinder is also available for household use with an standard UK-plug. The use of 110 V with an transformer ist for safety reason against electric shock, used especialy at jobsides
How come you don’t blow out the electronics and stator with compressed air? Shouldn’t that be good for the machine to get rid of all the oils, dust and metal filings in there?

Really like this older stuff. 👍🏻
Me too!

Amazed the parts are still available
Great vid as always
my dude dean just killing it again
Sketchy moment when the spinning disc touched the table, it only takes so much before it takes off into a low earth orbit :D
Got a soft spot for the very old and the cheap and cheerful ones, nice!
Another great repair Thanks for taking the time to share
Great work Dean thanks for sharing 🦘
Loving the colour coordinated greace. 😉
Nice one Dean. Those 1980s Makita's were beasts of tools. Still have a few from my fathers contracting days, including a red pistol drill.
Whatever this customer was charged it wasn’t enough! Ya just don’t get honest good value craftsmanship like this anymore, fair play to ya 👍

Great job 👍
So glad to see one of your broken machine videos and that is a old one for a start what is the very oldest machine you have worked on
Look forward to that 1 👍
I love old tools that have none of that stupid rubber on them that goes rancid in no time and look like transformers toys.
Might be old, but after this service it will probably outlast 2 new Milwaukees.
Or three or more ?
Will outlast a lot period lol
it will outlast any new grinder period.
🇵🇹 Yeah! Portugal!

That moment when the motor speeds up because the grease is taking effect... sweet. 32:52
I think that are the new brushes wearing in
@@lorenzorentniop717 That too, but he said in a previous video that the grease is doing that
@@Lanefasts probably both

Google says the red Makita tools were a homeowner line that came out in the early 90's.
Fantastic job.Good to see old machines getting repaired
It is sad to say: They don’t make machines like this anymore. And it is all of them. Makita, Bosch you name it. Much more beefy those days.
Had to go make a raspberry jam sandwich after watching this,..😅
The Dean.
Did you ever tighten up the field?
Good point as i didn't seen him doing it
Have you ever used john deere cornhead grease?
Look at that lovely caramel. You can eat it. I wouldn’t recommend it. Wise words from Dean 😂. Mmmmm Makita flavour.
China food sticks are good for grease cleaning and ice cream sticks is good for greasing. You can leave them in each grease tube.
What is the suitable screwdriver type and size for makita screws?
Usually Pozidrive #2 on Makita for JIS. Sometimes #1 on smaller tools and rarely the bigger #3. But Phillips in good condition are fine.
@@stephensmith8756 the jis is my broblem i don't want to make scratches or worn the screw head while loosing or tighting it
Makita actually had 3 colours out at the a same time. Grey , red and standard makita colour green. I was told grey was low end , red home do it yourself level and standard green being best quality! I don’t know. Obviously different prices accordingly
in our country, red makita = maktec, more affordable options but not the same level of durability or power
Thanks for the video!
btw. Did you tighten up the 2 screws that caused the rubbing on the armature?
Yes, but they are pain to adjust as they have a little lock plate. But they weren't even all that lose anyway.
Makita has a Maktec version which is usually red.
Glad Makita changed their branding colour not fond of the colour red and I be embarrassed people thinking Im using a Milwaukee power tool.😂
Is that a JMP MK-0620 or BGS 7738 bearing puller?
Didn’t Makita have a low grade tool called Maktec that’s red? Or is this more like the new machines like impact drivers that you can get in many different colours?
Could use a soft start circuit...
You could use an old Ice Cream spoon to get the grease out of it. Not for human consumption 😅
1:55 if you touched the brush while using the machine would it shock you?
Ofc..
For sure, dont ask me how I know. 😂
all the best stuff is made in japan - marty mcfly
Do you still have that old wolf planer in silver box to review Dean 😊
Yes, haven't gotten around to that one yet. Iv a few tools to teardown
These were labeled BOSS in this part of Europe. I have a machine like that too. Unkillable. I also have a planer in this color. Which type of parts can fit it? Greetings from Hungary.
As you say, that lovely caramel may not be the best eating...but it is packed full of iron. That'll put hair on your chest!

16 amp 240 socket, can you please enlighten us more regarding that plug.
It's an international industrial standard, just like the yellow ones for 110 V for use with an transformer.
@@dd313car just wondering why not plug it straight into 240v then, what does the two plugs do ?

The blue CEE has higher rated continuous current and its more heavy duty.
@@alouisschafer7212 gotcha thanks for that 👍
At least the grease matches the colour of the body 😂
The grease is like old man ear mung.
Red makita anything is savage
I sure wish I lived close to you so I could meet and hang out with you.
Arent some makita petrol chainsaws red like this aswell.. Thought that was odd..
Bet the owner was shocked when they got it back after all that TLC.
How come you don’t blow out the electronics and stator with compressed air? Shouldn’t that be good for the machine to get rid of all the oils, dust and metal filings in there?
I thought the red ones were their lighter duty diy type range
Today they are yes. But but back then, I think it was a special colour
