- Cement Mixer Restoration Repairs. Cement Mixer Repairs to the Frame, Motor Dog House and Towing Tongue. I Clean up and restore a cement / concrete mixer from the late 50's/early 60's. This part is the repair part of the restoration.
🎯Subscribe: www.youtube.co...
The mixer was picked up by my father in the early 60's. The cement / concrete mixer has seen a lot of work and abuse from many members of the family. It is time to get it running again. I will start with the GE Electric Motor then move on to Jack shaft, Brake, Yoke, Drum.
Lots of work to do.

OK! You win! Your hammer and dolly are much bigger than mine,
You know I never win anything. Thanks Herbert.
Restoration coming along nicely. Take care.
Thanks you Roy, moving along.
Looking good ..... Great job straighten out that mess.
Watching in Alabama
Thank you Anthony, a lot of work but it worked pretty good.
Thanks for the video Randy.
Thank you Colin.
Looking good
Thank you James. Saw you helping Tom K. move.
Randy Richard In The Shop yes I’m going to miss him being nearby however I’m planning on driving up and visiting. Kind of busy here my new hobby is time intensive
Great idea with the log splitter! Some beating and welding has achieved a lot of improvement... some ingenious tweaks Randy!
Amazing how much work is involved now it's all torn down - even now - fair bit to do but some paint sure looks good.
Thanks Chris, yep quite a bit to go. Winter is on the door step and is slowing progress.
great skill set at work...good work area, great project to tackle...good stuff
Thanks Tom. Wish I had more inside space. But this is great in the summer.
Another step done, Winter is surely coming soon, over here we get much cooler days and nights, no frost yet but not too far ahead...
You're a patient guy, when the metal is too warped or torn, I just cut it out and make a new part and weld it on, here, the neighbour right behind us is a major pain in the butt when he hears noise from my place, hope last time I turned him around will make think before he comes back and complains again... 😎👍
Oh yes this was loud, but I don't care. No frost yet but very soon, 37F the last few mornings and high 60s during the day. I still have painting to do I do not want it cold yet. Thanks Pierre.
Excellent work Randy, great use of the anvil!!!
Yeah that worked great, heavy but great. Thanks Ray.
watching you work as I have my breakfast....enjoyed and nice repair
Thank you Chuck. Coming along.
Glad to see you have it all straight now. Never doubted you would get it ironed out.
Thanks Harold. Working on it, the drum beating is next.
Excellent Randy. This is not just about a cement mixer because the methods you're using could be applied to the restoration of other machines. So nice to see patience and knowledge come together.
Yes Jim you hit the nail on the head. Everything I do is usually not about the object but about the How and what there is to learn. Thanks you Jim for the great comment.
precision concrete mixer repair. are using the imperial eye or metric eye?
I think the imperial eye but it is a bit fuzzy sometimes. Thanks richard.
Jackknifed while backing up must be what bent the tongue.
Probably right it is very short and easy to jackknife. Thanks Tom.
Man... This is a lot of work for a concrete mixer! :D
Yep sure is. But it is my cement mixer. Thanks Greg.
I think you talked about your wire feed welder in a previous video but since you mentioned in this video you liked your automatic settings, would you tell us again what specific machine you have.
By the way, I just made a big hassle out of bending some 2 inch tubing and never thought to try my log splitter.
In the description the welder info and link. Thanks Ted. I really like it.
I can't believe I am watching someone rebuild a cement mixer. Thanks Randy
Yeah but your not on the street and hitting the bars. Isn't this more fun. Thanks Doug for taking your time to watch.
That was the biggest body dolly I've ever seen. 🤣
Yeah but boy it worked great. Thanks Ben.
Hay Randy Is it not easier to bend your straight edge to fit the reach ?????
Still waiting for my 12 yards of 35 MPA the snow is coming lets get with it .
I thought about doing that. Oh yeah your going to be waiting awhile. Thanks Joe.
@@RRINTHESHOP Oh I think you might be best to cut some address numbers out and install that thing at the end of your driveway'
Nice job, Randy😊! Love to see old equipment not go to the scrapyard . They made stuff so repairable back in the day compared to the throw away culture we have today. Thanks for the share Randy. Respect👊
I am trying, lots of work to go. Thanks Just1.
looking great Randy , Can't wait to get back in my shop ! ENJOYED
I hope you are doing better my friend. Thanks for stopping in Shawn.
You don't fool around. That's the way to use an anvil. Looking good Randy.
Yeah a new video I think "10 ways you never thought of to use an anvil". It worked great. Thanks Randy
"I might weld, grind, and paint ... but a body man I ain't."
When you try to put a dial indicator on the drum, we will know you've been infected with FGS (fussy German syndrome). At that point we stage an intervention ... ;-)
Well said Digger. I will have to set that up when the time comes. Thanks Digger.
diggerop as a German i was thinking the same impressive work
@@reinhardthielecke8689 It is looking good. I wouldn't want to use it, at least until the weather takes some of the new shine off of it.
Someone, somewhere, made a comment about "German made, you know how fussy they are." Stefan seen it and chimed in ... wasn't long after he did some work on a mixer, and as a gag started to mount an indicator to the (very beat up and dented) drum in the last shot. In another video he did the same with a (running) slitting saw. I assume he was playing on that "fussy German" comment.
Of course we know he didn't actually do damage to his indicators, but I can't help but wonder how many of his countrymen reactively soiled themselves at the sight.
Anyway, thanks to Stefan, I started thinking of the (usually needless) perfectionism, that I still find myself tangled in from time to time, as a fit of "FGS."
Those don't last as long as they used to. Start with dreams of perfection, in the end: 1)does it fit?
"yes," or
"mostly"
2)does it work?
"at the moment it does," &
3)does it look good?
"if it works, that doesn't matter"
"like a mud fence in a monsoon" or
"like a gold ring in a pig's snout."
lot of hard work there, I hope you have plans to mix a lot of cement to make it all worth it.
and i shall refrain from making any comment about your "slipping the tongue in."😉😉
Plans for next summer some concrete work. The tongue went right in. Thanks Chris.
I hope after you get things repaired and prettified you aren't afraid to mix a few bags of cement in it for us. :)
Oh yeah I will be using it next summer, that is the plan. Thanks Wes.
I'm impressed with your welding quality!
Thanks Dave, I can do ok.
Great Job!
Coming together nicely Mr. Richard thanks for bringing us along for the journey.
-Joe.
No problem. Thank you Joe for joining me. Quite the journey.
Cement mixer now speak with straight tongue! LOL I hope you were wearing hearing protection during the "Gong Show". It is looking good.
Love it Vernon well said. Didn't you see the muffs. Thanks Vernon.
That's the biggest SM dolly/ bucking bar I've ever seen!!!
Looking good Randy, before you know it you will be finished and looking for another project.
Thanks Eric. The anvil worked really great. I am trying to complete another project at the same time. The winter is starting early and it is cold here and stopping me from painting.
@@RRINTHESHOP yes the cold weather is coming. I have a possible project for you, I have two vacuume pumps they both work but need work - minor repairs. Are you interisted in one?
When you use an Anvil as a dolly you know that is some thick plate! LOL What a fun episode! Looks awesome!
Thanks John. The anvil worked perfect.
"I don't do body work." Yes you do :)
Well a little bit. Thanks workaholic53.
It's comming along be done soon
Well I don't know about real soon, still quite a bit to do and winter is setting in. Thanks Larry.
I had no idea the layout die came in a roll form. I can’t wait to borrow the mixer Randy!💪🏼
Yes it is great and easy clean up, or if make an error re-application, It also comes in other colors green and yellow and off white. You can get it almost anywhere. Thanks Youchol.
Looking good Randy, but you'd better hurry, my driveway needs pouring before the snow flies! Cheers!
You may want to make other plans. Thanks Howder. Winter is early here.
@@RRINTHESHOP My kin in Alberta some ways north of you got hammered, did it get down to your area as well? I got pictures of two feet of snow in some areas and as much as three feet in a couple.
@@howder1951 Just cold here. My daughter in Montana has been snowing there for the last several days.
Nice Randy! Coming along really good. Tough to straighten out cement mixers. They are usually very abused but you are doing a great job on yours!
Thanks Reid. Coming along but winter is starting here and is slowing my progress.
@@RRINTHESHOP Yeah, I know what you mean. We had a couple of inches of snow over the weekend and is supposed to get down to 24 tonight. Real early for us here!!
Running 37 is the mornings here. Early for us also, been having fires in the evening for a couple of weeks. I split up 13 cords for this year.
i bet the bent tongue got jack knifed then repaired with t post jammed down it.
Maybe. Straight now. Thanks Sam.
@@RRINTHESHOP yeah I see, it looks awesome. I have one I'm about to fix but it's not as well built as yours. Mine is just a cheap one built in the 90s that got seriously neglected.
What. No bondo 🤨😉
No bondo, no time for that. Thanks Mr E.
Hi, Yes I am still watching every post, sad to be parted from old friends, I am in the same boat but I think my 4 sons will clear me out either before or after I am gone! Kind regards, Ted.
Thank you Ed for watching. Oh yeah the kids will clean me out.
Good afternoon Randy! Good improvement! It will Last another 30 years without major rebuild.
Good afternoon Craig, I am having coffee and lunch. At least 30 yrs. Thanks Craig.
@Donald R. Cossitt Can we just sit around and re watch the video's? Thanks Don will you join me?
I hope you have a lot of use for this big project. Good video.
No not really, just something I always wanted to do. Thanks Mike.
