I am 74 years old and have been around some very talented mechanics and fabricators while working as a certified aircraft mechanic. I knew two personally, I worked for both of them building one of a kind prop driven aircraft. Their talents were beyond amazing. They seemed to have the various projects mentally completed before they picked up a wrench. Their efforts were always spot on no matter what the project. I put you in the same class as those talented men. Three cheers sir.
I appreciate your skills and special thanks for demonstrating how difficult it is to convert automobile parts in to useful part for non automobile projects.
Have to add my kudos for the spline grinding. I've spent many hours using a mill and indexing head to make them. That was really slick the way you did it.
While grinding the splines was an artful demonstration, you had a lathe. You could have cut the splines off, turned down a stub end, bored a hole and welded the factory splines into the existing axle. No beating them. Very well done and interesting video.
If you put the drive in the wheel side you in theory up the gearing ..If it was a 3:1 diff it would become a 1:3 Would that be correct ..I am thinking of doing this for a boat project copying an arneson drive ...My engine will go to 2500k Which would make the output 7500 ...Which ties well with the Outboard leg i intend to use
i'd say excellent. FYI for others out there - many Subaru differentials are already cut down like this - if you can find one of them, it might work for your application if the ratio through the differential works.
I have been doing this type of work my entire life. What I saw in this video is amazing. You should be working in a prototype lab and earning 100k a year. You have a talent that should not be wasted.
I am unsure if this will be reliable long term because the differential is only supported by one axle now, so there will be excessive internal play. I think that if you had repeated the axle shortening on the other side rather than a full amputation it may have worked better.
Instead of welding spider gears, why not cut off the un-used axle , weld it solid to a "plate" (which would be like locking one wheel) and that would multiply the output speed of the axle being used? Otherwise as you have it, the out put is still much slower rpm than the input (determined by the ratio of the original gears). Something to think about.... Woody in Georgia
Yeah! The master and commander of angle grinders is back! Spline cutting with angle grinder.. That is gutsy! Respect for pulling that one off! Looking forward to seeing the mower build. With that gear ratio it is going to be a 'fast mover'. Not much torque to power though brushes perhaps?
I don't understand why you did not use the original spline welded to the shortened shaft. Yes it would not be as strong as the original shaft, but neither are splines that don't fit properly. Splines are designed to reduce rubbing wear, the hand cut ones won't do that. It will probably be fine for your purpose, but would last longer with real splines.
Hard Core Genius. Ben ain't ever seen "broaching" like that. Ben likes your style. Ben has subbed because he believes you are the True Mechanical Messiah.
I was wondering how you were going to shorten the halfshaft. They don't always weld too good. That was brilliant. Thanks for sharing. PS, don't forget the oil refill.
Just curious, but why cut new splines? Seems like you could cut the excess shaft out of the middle and welded the stub with the splines back on. For those that might worry about alignment, clamps and angle iron would take care of that. And, in Donn DIY's case, he's got a lathe to help with the alignment. Bore hole for alignment pin? I don't think it would be any more "out of tolerance" than making your own splines with a marker and hand grinder. Not intended as a criticism. Just thinking out loud. Maybe I'm missing something...
That would be a good way to up-speed a waterwheel too. Instead of hand cutting splines, I would have just turned the shaft down to about half the diameter of the splines. Then saw the splined end off the axle, drill down the center to match the shaft, slip it on and weld it in place. I've done that in emergency repairs a couple of times.
So, essentially a sort of PTO. You should probably put some sort of weak link between the blades and the gear box tho. This is way overbuilt for the application and you might kill something with it. Probably something between the engine and the box as well.
Ok, I was impressed! Wanted to do an independent rear suspension not unlike what you have done. I was also thinking helicopter rotor gearbox using a 1 ton axle assembly. Nice job.
You should check out my crazy project. Two occupant submersible simulator. Takes two people up 20 feet, pitches up 50 degrees, down 40, rides up and down 5 feet and rotates 360 degrees. And can do it in one second if you have the guts. You are in control, and have surround video and audio. It could simulate a race car crash, but the bruises and pain aren't simulated. The sub it simulates is a brain child of my business partner and we figure that we could sell more of these than million dollar subs. The current simulation is an underwater jet fighter, which lets you go play with the Dolphins, Killer whales, and avoid the big guys, one swat with that tail and you're done!Many other simulations can be produced. See www.fb.com/aqvwc SeaBird simulation.
Run a pto off of a transfer case via driveshaft and you mount the axle shaft end through the bed of a truck with a capstan style winch head. Works best with standard transmission! Great video. Never thought I'd see this on youtube
Badass hand spline cutting.......only one suggestion, you might want to case harden after cutting to allow the sideshafts to handle more torque. Well done.....
Donn DIY Never heard of Lada. Please explain more. I'm speechless about the build. I'm a master woodworker. The skills used were impressive. But the mind that said, hey, that will work.! Impressive friend
In the past we have used Triumph herald and jaguars diffs for right angle gearboxes, as they need no cutting . And if you use one “half-shaft” side as the "input" fix the other half-shaft so it won’t turn, then use the prop-shaft as the "output" it will be geared up around 4 - 1.
Thanks for that. Off to the scrapyard then to find one as small as possible. I´m building a go-kart for my boy using a lawnmower engine but struggling a bit, anyway thanks again.
I'm an amateur when it comes to welding but thanks for the compliment. I'm sure there are welders who see my videos and hold their heads but at the same time they're glad I'm not welding pressure tanks. :D
Troye Stonich Yeah, rare video, I'd actually like to see part 2. I'm 40 with 22 years cabinetry and carpentry knowledge. This guy left me speechless. I've rarely seen odd ideas turn out as well as they did in the creators head.
My dad took one of these old rear ends and turned the pinon side down and made a frame around the hole thing with braces to hold the pinon side down . He then made a brush hog blade or bought one and mounted it to the pinon. The wheels and tires turned the blade it made good grass only mower. They used it their pipe yard to keep grass cut . Yes they built housing around it out of plate steel for saftey.
Nice splines :) What do you do for a living? at crossroads in life at the moment, and man, from your videos you certainly do stuff that's right up my alley! Great stuff man, keep it coming!
I see, actually when my exams finish next week I'll be working part time and restoring a few motorcycles in my garage. Going to live it a day at a time, see what happens. Good luck man :)

Hey, making splines using grinder is something special.... VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude that was badass never seen someone made their own splines!!!! that is awesome
Many post-hole augers have been built in this way.
They truly last forever.
Great job!
Absolutely amazing!!! i was thinking to buy a £300 90 degree gearbox for a project now no more. Your design is godsent!!
Hahaa! I'm glad I could help you out! ;)
Not what I expected to see where you did the splines instead of a shaft splice. What a beautiful job and video production!
Excellent video ! 👍
that was the most impressive display of freehand angle grinding I have ever seen.
Agreed! I was wondering how he was going to respline the shaft. Thought perhaps he was going to weld the old splines on the end. Nope. Excellent work!
a4x4player say man that's the same thing I thought
So many long splines so close together free handed with zero room for error. Most impressive display of self confidence and Steady Hand

THANK YOU!
Lol, great video! Thinking of doing this for a large windmill down shaft.
Lots of ways to cut splines. Yours is perhaps crude, but brilliant at the same time. Excellent.
It was made for a low HP application. Would've done it differently for higher HP.
Seriously cool way to solve a problem with minimal tooling, excellent!
You are a master with that grinder ,excellent work

The rotors of the mower will be small in diameter so not much torque needed, hopefully. But we'll see. ;)

Axel shafts cannot be welded with any strength ... they are not made of regular steel.
Amazing! congratulations you are very talented.
Cutting the splines with the angle grinder was priceless man! keep up the good work!
Cheers man!
Man You certainly are a pro. You rock. Such skill with that angle grinder!
Looks factory good!
I wonder what rear end that was?

This has gotta be somekind of witchcraft!! Splines without mill?! You got to be kidding me. Outstanding work!
Fantastic job !
Do you need to wash out the diff casing to get rid of the swarf and weld slag
Yup, you definitely need to wash it out. At least that's what I did.
Hello sir, Thump up, you did a perfect and great task. please which vehicle axle did you use please?
Cheers. I used a Lada 2101 rear solid axle.
Nice job , came out nice.
Nice job. The spline cutting was excellent!

Amazing idea to connect diferensial 👍
I am going to say this as nicely as I know how; Goddamned good job on the friggin spline~!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I was impressed! Wanted to do an independent rear suspension not unlike what you have done. I was also thinking helicopter rotor gearbox using a 1 ton axle assembly. Nice job.
I've used independent rear diff before, it would require definitely less modification. Especially BMW ones.

Who needs a mill to make splines? Definitely not Don! Nice!!!
Mike F
I can't believe how nice it came out for being free handed, wow!!
Yeah that seriously blew my mind, it's never even occurred to me that was possible, and it seriously looked machined.
Mike F You can also make them on the lathe
That was by far the most amazing part. I expected him to make a shoulder on both sides, cut out the middle and weld back the shaft.
I enjoyed the entire build, but the splines had me going back to verify that I actually saw that. Well done, indeed!
Badass hand spline cutting.......only one suggestion, you might want to case harden after cutting to allow the sideshafts to handle more torque. Well done.....

I`m glad to see I`m not the only one who`s cut shaft splines with an angle grinder!
I was just wondering if this could be done with a diff instead of buying and expensive right angle gearbox and now I know!
One hell of a fabricator!
Génial, un super bricolage.
Ok, you had me at splines! LOL
That is the Angle Grinder King there!
Fabulous.
great job sir!!!!
DAMN..... Im Very impressed with the homemade splines. Im gonna have to try that

In the past we have used Triumph herald and jaguars diffs for right angle gearboxes, as they need no cutting . And if you use one “half-shaft” side as the "input" fix the other half-shaft so it won’t turn, then use the prop-shaft as the "output" it will be geared up around 4 - 1.
With Heralds and Jags being in short supply there must be other modern cars that you can use. Any ideas?
Any rear diff of a RWD car that doesn't has a solid axle. No need to cut off or shorten the axle as there aren't any from the factory :)
Thanks for that. Off to the scrapyard then to find one as small as possible. I´m building a go-kart for my boy using a lawnmower engine but struggling a bit, anyway thanks again.

If i may ask,those splines aint maybe weak now because u used grinder to make them ?.U done maybe some tempering on it ?.
Made from the same material. It definitely isn't as accurate as the factory splines but will definitely be sufficient for this application.
fantastic job running the new splines in slowly would be a good idea.
Good sir best idea
I know this may be necro-posting at this point, but how is this holding up? Is the oil not being in its intended orientation likely to cause issues?
impressive free hand splining!
