It is “good stuff!!!”
I’m glad You found time to get it built and posted.
These DIY projects definitely add value to Your channel.
Thanks Chuck, I have been looking at these parts for a month trying to get time to get this done. To me this is some of the "fun stuff"
glad to see the videos keepin coming. really love the poorboy projects especially with economic crisis hitting racers hard
Thanks Jesse, appreciate you watching.
I always like these kinds of videos, not only is a great way to see this exact project built but a person can also get ideas about how to do a similar but different project. Keep up the great work Jason, I always enjoy your videos what ever the content.
Thanks for the feedback Jason, honestly ones like this are my favorites to do.
this is the best homemade tire grinding stand i've seen! Great Job!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching our channel.
Great video. I like how you break down the steps and expound on the finer details that could've been overlooked. Thanks for the great project idea. 👍
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the feedback and appreciate you watching.
so glad to watch a video of someone who can talk. not the uhhmmm every other word!, and explaining every litttle common sense detail like their teaching kindergarden. . really enjoyed this, great fabulation video,,, thanks
Thanks Bud, I try hard to figure out whats important, cover it, and not waste folks time. we all got racin to do!
Not only is it a great video with a very useful project but I'm impressed with the links and the time spent providing it for us.......very nice job
Thank you Jeff, I had that one on the list for quite a while and it took me some time to figure out how to get it done with off the shelf Amazon cheapo parts and no machining. No easy feat but we got there!
Again thanks for the feedback and hope your season is going well behind the wheel.
I’ve wanted to build one for a long time!! Thank you for uploading!! You have great content
Absolutely Trevor, I enjoy this type stuff and was trying to show folks it can be done without having a big machine shop and blueprints.
Nice video. Although we just bought a variable Allstar rotator and mounted it to a frame we built i respect your ingenuity and you one uped us with the 3 point legs, our four can get rocky on uneven ground. And I used 1" square tubing and it is a little bouncy. So many things to learn dirt racing. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks Bud, I am learning as I go as well. I should have mounted my legs further rearward of the motor on mine as well to make it a bit more stable. Sure appreciate you watching our channel.
thanks for sharing and helping g out regular racer families like us
Glad you liked this one Dennis. Sure hope to make many more useful videos in the future that are this "Do it yourself on a budget" style.
That’s awesome job Jason! I truly appreciate you showing all these ideas and your knowledge you share with us!
Thank you Steve
We are always on a budget! I would love to see racing pay for itself.
Racing is expensive thats for sure. Just gas prices alone is slowing us down some this year even with the sponsorship help. That said, store bought shop equipment is a luxury I can't afford this year so I improvise.
I sent you a photo of mine on FB, however it’s a bit fast despite using a gear reduction motor. I do have a foot pedal to start and stop mine. Since we can only buff tires it’s not as big of issue. I agree I’ve been asked to build them, however I explain after we purchased the parts, plus charge a fair price, buying a commercial one.
I haven't seen it yet Mr James, email it to kimandjasondukes@gmail.com if you get a chance. I'd love to see it, always helps me figure how to make my next one a little better.
Parts ordered and also ordered a wide 5 adapter for my wide 5 welds. Keep us informed on what pedal you come up with. Thanks for posting this!
Thank You Jody, I hope your build goes well, send me pictures!
I am looking for the right solution and I think I am going to do it with two heavy duty intermittent switches (like push button starter switches). Hopefully I can do a video of that and making the tool draw bar rest soon.
Jason, I like this video. I have ordered parts and I'm going to build one myself. Keep doing the DIY videos along with the race videos! Maybe you can build a pit lift one day!
Thank you Sir! It's definitely the least expensive one I have ever built but mine has two seasons on it and is still going strong.
Neat video. I've been contemplating one, made with a washing machine motor. My FIL repairs washers and dryers and has tons of parts. I was thinking of using my old timing chains. Just using the stuff around the shop. This is a good base for most anyone to understand. Keep up these awesome vid's.
Thank you for watching Jeff and glad you were getting some ideas from it.
This is a great video! Thanks for showing us how this is done.
Thanks Chad, I'm glad you found this one helpful :)
I can't find the parts on your website... amazing video by the way
I checked and they are stil there John. Scroll to the bottom and there is a drop down list for the tire build stand.
One thing I have found that welding with a meg seems to hold good to cast over a stick welder
I have mig'd into a lot of cast over the years without issue but as far as engine parts goes I have always use the 99% nickel welding rods.
@@DIRTRACELIFE
You can weld on engine blocks with no wearies I've done it on my own race blocks that have gotten bloke along the pan rell. I did think it was possible but he said all you have to do to make sure you do not pull the line bore out is to lay a bear skin hand next to were you are welding and when you can not stand the heat of it you stop till it's is to were you can be comfortable and continue.
Thank you so much for the video we really need one of those going to have to make one now
Get busy Ronald! And thank you for watching!
Thank you!! Absolutely making one!!
Thank you Ryan, Glad you found this episode useful and hope the build goes well!
Good job Jason. I sure enjoyed it. Love the details
You know the "devils in the details". Seriously though I appreciate the Langley team watching my videos and the the feedback.
What a great video idea and execution, thanks sooo much! Definitely going to build one :)
Glad you found it helpful Mark.
Nice tire prep stand
Thank you sir, It's been working great.
Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Jason, can you verify what gear reduction and rpm range your motor is? This a great build and look forward to building me one.
Glad you found this video useful sir. I am using a 1/50 ratio on the gear train for the motor assembly and then a 34 tooth sprocket and 11 tooth drive for an 11/34 ratio on the chain. The total ratio is found by multiplying these two together and you come out with a 6/1000 ratio (0.00647058 tire revolutions per 1 revolution of the motor)
I have links to every part I used on my website at www.dirtracelife.com so just check it out for more details
Great video.What tubing bender do you use?
It's the JD2 from JD Squared
Great stuff Jason
Thanks Jay, appreciate you watching
Great video and instructions. Boy to use a old timing chain and gears would be sexy!!!
It would just be a matter of machining the centers out correctly and it would sure work. If I could find this type motor setup in a much lower gear ratio I think my next one will be a direct drive.
That's pretty cool I'm going to have to check that out it's better than paying a thousand I mean you can add your own little safety things like a guard for the chain whatever but that's cool enjoyed the video
Thanks Rick
Great video
Thank you for watching it and hope you find a few more good ones in my channel.
Great video bud!!
Thanks 👍Sure appreciate you watching.
Awesome job
Thank you Jerry, I have had about 5 tires on it so far and it seems like it's going to be a good one.
Very good information 👌Just subbed
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you found it useful and hope I make more videos that fit the bill for you. Again thanks.
@@DIRTRACELIFE thanks, I'm all about budget minded racing
Man that’s awesome
Thank You Chris
Great video!!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Did you say that it's reversible ,do you know the part to do it if it does
It has a jumper wire with two poles and you switch it for whichever direction you want.
@@DIRTRACELIFE do you think it would be possible to hook a switch to it so you don't have to take the cover off to switch it
Yes . . .thats PHASE 2! Your beating me to the punch! But hey if you get there before I get the video out send me pics on our FB. I want to show some of these in that video :)
How many rpm did you get
Which RPM range motor did you use?
This is the 0-27 rpm which is 1:50 ratio. You can find links to exactly what I used at dirtracelife.com and thanks for watching.
Where do I find the link to the parts and motor
I have them listed out on my website www.dirtracelife.com
I appreciate you watching and hope the video proves to be useful!
Do you sell them. I would buy it
I don't, alot of folks have built themselves one. Just showing the bare bones absolutely least expensive option for a do it yourself er. 😉
I wanna see how to make a pit lift
I think I could do it for real. I have some concerns about safety for sure though and have to get that figured out before I attempt anything that big :)
Yeah that’s a concern I have as well. As long as you have decent welding skills and make sure to come up with a good design for a safety catch I don’t think there’s much to worry about. I mean heck look at the crap welds on all the stuff HarborFreight sells 😂 but the main thing for me is getting the right hydraulic cylinders the actual frame I was planning on making a copy of someone else’s
I want one
Not hard to build Jay, but take a little time. I have a full season on this one now and it's going strong. Always a bit sketchy with these off shore super cheap drives but this seems to be a pretty good model.
@@DIRTRACELIFE heck yeah could you give me and idea of what all I need to build one
I have a list on my website. Dirtracelife.com
Here's the list: www.dirtracelife.com/pages/motorized-tire-stand-build-list
Ben, they are there but because they are links that take you to Amazon if you have you internet browser set to block a redirect like that then they won't show up. The actual motor I use is at
amzn.to/3qL3z3s
I went to the website and the parts are not on there?
I put the video and the parts right at the top of the front page. Not sure what could be causing you to not see them but sure will see what I can figure out.
@@DIRTRACELIFE I just see the video??
Directly below the video I linked each of the pieces and it shows them in a box. Five or six of them across the page. I checked on my phone and on my wifes Ipad and they were there. Very sorry you are having trouble.
@@DIRTRACELIFE Yup they are there on my phone, they do not show while using a desktop, Thanks!
