- Our hills rotary clothes hoist failed so in this video I do some running repairs.
Hello, I'm Lance (aka Bundy Bear), and doing these videos is my hobby. I do own Queensland Tractor Spares in Australia where I sell parts and offer technical advice to customers.
Parts seen in our videos can be purchased from www.queenslandt...
We have a lot more than we can offer on our website available to us and in our store. If you don't see what you would like please email info@queenslandtractorspares.com.au or call 1300 850 097 and we will help where we can.
I do try and help with technical advice at bundybearsshed@gmail.com if you have a question or are having trouble with your project.

Thanks. I have been looking for a video like this for seven years.
Pulled my hoist apart and it is the same problem. Thanks again!
Glad it helped
G Day Lance, loads of brownie points there, happy wife, happy life, perfect
Yep works better than it ever did we reckon.
The only hoist that can out live the life of a house ! You have not been able to get them as strong as those for 50 years ! 👍
No these are a cracker of a model, we got this second hand over 20 years back and with a service it will see me out.
Great job as expected - great to see stuff being fixed not just junked al the time
This will outlast me I reckon.
I just pulled mine to bits. The lift up part that you made a collar for didnt have a separate washer. the collar is effectively the conical washer too. The hook lodges inside the centre hole to prevent uplift which is why the collar is tack welded to the pipe. I dont have a lathe so Im expecting it will collapse one day in near future as rusting quite badly. my gear cogs are nylon too on the winder so not as good a build quality as yours but still ok as ive combined two clothes lines to make one workable one. I found your video was great. I have oiled rather than grease just a t present as I could find the grease. Also needed to dismantle the top to transport and was hoping for a close up of the rod connectors under the top pipe as photo I took prior wasnt clear enough but think I have worked it out now. Back out to try.
I think parts for these would be a good seller as I often get contacted re my repair. They are good solid old thing for sure.
Now that's a proper whirly gig! - that's what we in the UK call 'em - Good repair Lance!
I never knew that but I can see how you came up with it.
Great video. Nice to be able to make your own parts.
Yes a lathe at home is a handy tool for sure.
Bloody fantastic Lance...as an Englishman I had never seen a hills hoist but now living in Australia I've seen and had a few, currently same issue...I'm sure there a market there for the bits you made, love the diversity in your channel, cheers
Could be for sure, this will see me out I reckon.
Great job Lance - if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well!!
These are tough as nails and it should last for years now.
9:54 thank you for showing this
You are welcome.
Keeping the cook happy is always a GOOD idea, haha 😎
You bet, lol.
Hi Lance been there and done that on a very simular clothes line and got another 12 years out of it.
With the old cast gears this will go for ages I reckon.
Great vidio ,yeah if simply love fixing things and not throw away !!!mine is still going after 65 years of sevice ,,becose i oiled it every mounth or so.
Ours was neglected and as it was working sort of I let it be, I should have serviced it way sooner but never got around to it.
Cheers mate we just got one of these old girls for our place n that bits stiff as sht so now i got n idea on stripping and putting back together
It will last for years with a bit of maintenance Im sure.
Looks like you have been slacking on greasing that. LOL
Yes it sure does, lol.
I wish to thank you for the video. I need to get a taper or make a different piece.
Good luck!
Not many of those hoists left now really. No one can say that you don't cover a wide range of projects on your channel 👍 😁
Warts and all in Bundy Bears Shed.
Ive got one to move in Goulburn..cemented into place in 1959. Date is stamped on the concrete hob😊
Nice job break video
Thanks Kimber.
Most interesting! I had not seen one of those before now. We had similar things for air drying but none built as well as that one. Oh by the way, there must be a can of cold-galv. around somewhere. That's just ugly rust and a rust stain can be as hard on the wash as grease. Maybe more considering the easy fix.....😀
I did think of that but thought it would just wear off again
@@BundyBearsShed So in a few years you paint it again!
Great video.thank you for valuable content and expertise. We cannot make the top for above the winder to lift the pole like you did. The hills site does list it and they are out of stock of the hole repair kit which didn’t depict it anyway. Any other ideas?
Thank you
You
Try a local engineering shop, show them what I did and they may be able to sort out something.
Nice job!
Thanks
Weld done mate
Thsnkyou.
Thats great
Thanks Debora.
inox is a good spray doesnt dry out, atleast your hillshoist has metal gears and not plastic, good to see a sidchrome ratchet, still got my original set aussie made decades later still good even with lots of abuse.
Yeah the early Sidchrome will see us out they were good gear back in the day.
Righto - got the same issue with mine, any chance you can sell me a coller and washer? Got a dodge temp fix with a bit of flat steel going at the moemnt but would love to fix it for the next 50 years.
No Im sorry no time to do any. When I retire I may well do some but for the moment no time.
Im guessing this is what has failed on ours....
Can't seem to find any individual part to fix this though.
so Im thinking of attempting to reddneck it by getting a bit of scrap galve sheet, and using an old toeball and sledge it into a pipe of similar sixing to see if it conforms to a usable shape. Then tac it grind it weld it grind it. Spray it. Grease it. 😅
All you can do is give it a go. I see the modern ones have gone to a plastic screw now so they wont last like these old ones will.
Pearler video. I'll pull apart my Mums and get it fixed now 🎉
That will get you into the good books.
Hey Bundy, great video I have the same p roblem as yours ie conical end sleeve has deteriorated. I had a look on the hills hoist parts online as suggested but they don't sell them. Are you able to make and sell me one? I live in country Vic and prepared to pay your labour and postage. Regards Michael
G Day Michael, No I only made the one for mine and didnt make any extras, I have had quite a few requests for them so perhaps I should. Perhaps when I retire I will have time.
Id buy one! But if youre not selling Ill have to turn one up from hardwood or plastic, no metal lathe
I am just wondering if you could make me a part that you made for my Hills Hoist please?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Brooke.
No Im sorry I just made the one and dont have the measurements any more. If I did I could sell heaps apparently.
I have to move one..wondering how to get the top off.
Wind it to as high as it will go and lift the top off, you will need an extra pair of hands though I reckon.
did you have to piss it right up to get it apart i have part on order easy nuts in //easy out
Yeah big lift to get it off, back still aches, lol.
The old man thought he was doing the right thing years ago by greasing the top spindle (where you said not to) and sure as shit mums new silk sheets had blue grease on em, I reckon you could have heard the carry on from the east coast 😂😂
Ha Ha yeah I can imagine, lol.
Great job well done , although the exposed metal could sure use a good coat of paint
😮 I would've done the same thing. The carry-on, I mean... Mortified! 😂
You missed the most important part. The rope attachment for kids to swing on. Spent many an afternoon going round on them.
Me too but I got in trouble if I got caught, lol .
Comments just keep disappearing 🤷♂️
Still here this one.
If they show on the other vid I'll have quite a few to delete 🤣
Take 2 to see if the ether comment from the other vid stays here.... Take feckin 3,4,5,6, 10 keeps disappearing🤷♂️....Vileda will probably be plastic not rugged looking 😂 I got onto Vileda for line and tensioners, really only tensioners, i had bought hills line on Amazon. They said there's hills line on the site for sake but no tensioners.....Seriously WTF
Anyway line on now just need a day to be bothered to fix the crank 😂
What about a plastic not rigid sleeve on the up n down?. I see you've not got the plastic line they sell now
The newer models have the plastic gears here I see. I found a roll of the old wire and we now use stainless pegs. We had no crank for years and it didnt bother Judy so it didnt get fixed, lol.
Crank fixed today here, couldn't be more plastic and crap to boot 🤣
Was thinking with the sleeve something like a shocker boot or lay flat pipe....might do that myself yet.
that will last the next generation if the arms last hhm new project lol
lol yeah that for another day.
Doe's anyone own an "OIL CAN " these days ?????
She had told me about it but working over 60 hrs a week I never got to it. It was still doing the job so she didn't rattle my chain.
