Going good Brandon, your helper is ready for it to be done 👍👍. Looks like you will be teaching him the tricks of the trade. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
I love your content man! I just bought a TRX70 for my son, he's only 1, but I'm gonna take my time and fix it up and give to him just like you did for your grandson!
@Just A Guy I appreciate it! know I had tons of fun building it and I included my grandson whenever I could. He loved it even if he was just banging on stuff it made him feel like he was part of it. We need more dads in this world like you!👍🙏
@@BrandonLund thanks for the kind words!!! I’m just like you, family first and I want to pour into my family. I’m sure I’ll be in touch as I plug away at this project!
Reading glasses? Yer gettin’ old young fella, 🤣🤣🤣 When making gaskets for transformers and switchgear years ago we found that peining (or peening) the edges and holes was the way to go. Even with cast bits, not a problem because the hammer taps were quite light. Cheers pal, the project is looking bloody good.
Try em brother! You will thank me. Even with "good" eyes" LOL. That's a great idea about peining the hole. I might have to steal that one! Thanks buddy! I cant wait to give this to him. I might even give it a rip :)
Well, yeah, truth be told, I have a cheap pair of 2X in my welding bag for tig, lol, better view of the puddle. And although I can hit a 6” target at 200yds with open sights on my 45-70 Marlin, and my optometrist tells my I don’t need glasses, I still wear very soft glasses for driving, lol. Eyes came good when I gave up cigarettes 🚬 7 years ago, but as things go, I update mild glasses every 5 years when I renew my license. Too cheap to pay the levee for a new license issue, plus my eyes will go bad sooner or later, lol. Still got a year to go on this one anyway, so we’ll see what happens next March. Thanks Bran, keep up the good work mate.
Thanks buddy! I gave up the smokes too...2 packs a day. My wife and I quit together 10 years ago. Probably the best thing I ever did. Good for you! Take care buddy!
43 years behind the smokes mate. At one stage using an ounce a day rollies, with a pipe thrown in, lol. Haven't been able to strip the weight though, went from 95 to 125kgs.... 95kgs (about 210lbs) was my football playing weight, lol.
It's looking good , you're grandson is loving it !! I call it working backwards when we miss a step it happens to all of us , I have a handful of spent brass up to 50 cal I use for making holes in the gaskets , crime is still rising now that the schools are closed , do you have any suggestions for an affordable night vision ? And area alarms ? I'm trying to hold down the fort on my 35 acres but we got hit hard including a home invasion when my wife was home alone,with a second attempt that was a fail , the 3 of them got chased off but we're not apprehended, they have shouted in a night drive bye that they were going to kill all of us ! They broke about 8 or more laws. I've been doing night watch since , they have been messing around up on the road but there are no street lights so I can't get a look at there car , well stay safe and healthy TANK
Great idea on the shell casings! I like it! Sorry to hear about your trouble. I don't have any personal experience with night cams but from what I understand, technology today they are all pretty good (even the cheap ones like at Harbor Freight). I assume by your screen name that you probably carry an "item" or have those "items" in your home, so stay safe and be vigilant. It's probably a bunch of young punks trying to act tough. Ask your local PD / Sheriffs Office for some additional patrol around your home. I came home last year to some punks lucking around my property. I chased them off. I personally carry a hidden "item" everywhere all the time. You never know. Stay safe and stay healthy buddy. Hopefully this madness ends soon.
This is awesome ! Loving how similar your trx 70 is to my arc 70. Thanks for sharing info. along the way. Thankfully our clutch cover is not missing but noticed on our 110 it is. Very nice job showing us your work on the brakes and they look great ! 👍
Them side cover gaskets would keep water from getting into there yeah? I imagine the pull starter wouldnt last long filled with water. This is turning our super nice sir.
Такие прокладки очень удобно делать методом простукивания молотком. Фиксируешь заготовку на два болта по диагонали и простукиваешь маленьким молотком по краю детали внутреннюю и затем внешнюю поверхность. 😜 Such gaskets are very convenient to do by tapping with a hammer. Fix the workpiece on two bolts diagonally and tap the inner and then the outer surface of the part with a small hammer. 😜
Should have also put brake grease on the painted surface that the shoe rides on the raised sections behind the shoes helps keep them quieter for drum breaks
If my break drum doesn't insert smoothly doesn't mean I need a new one? I'm also trying to get my axle to sit in there correctly slides. Anyhow help will be great
Possibly. I've also heard that the brake pads from an ATC70 and a TRX70 look simular but are different. This could cause it also. Whats going on with the axle?
@@BrandonLund thanks for the reply! I just can't get that damn drum over the brake pads. I think it's time for a new one. I think got the axle figured out for some reason I couldn't center it out.
Idk if anyone's told you, but just a gasket hack, use a small hammer handle and tap lightly with the gasket material pressed over the item, it'll almost die cut the gasket for you.
@@BrandonLund it helps cut out a lot of time. So cool to see you building it with your little one! I was 15 when I built one for my niece. And now my 3 year old has an 85 atc all original down to the tires so meanwhile I picked up 2 of the trx's both 1986. So I'm building one of those now as a resto mod then ill restore the other to OG. Keep it up! Great daddy time right there!
Totally understand being old and readers are amazing for detailed work
You got that right! I love em'
Great video as usual Brandon
Thank you! 😁
Hopefully all is well with you and your family stay safe and God bless
We are doing well. God bless you and your family also. Stay safe buddy.

Thanks Fred. He's chomping at the bit for this to be done and honestly so am I. It's been a LOT of work, but well worth it. The end is VERY near!
Looks great coming along swimmingly

Thank you very much! I think your right about the water. I cant see any other reason but that. Thanks man!

Русский, дедовский метод ✊️

Good point! If they get noisy i probably will. Im not one to tolerate squeaks and rattles. I hope you and your family are well. Stay safe buddy!
@@BrandonLund me and my family are doing well Brother thanks for asking
I had to do the same thing and o found a drill bit that fit in the hole and just turned it by hand
Great idea Keith! Thanks!

So cute
Thanks man!
I would make more then one of them gaskets before you install it so you have extras so you don't have to cut the next time the motor is matinenced
Good call!
VIP gear oil. You've had that quart for a minute. Lol
Hahahaha I'm cheap! I knew I would get some use out of it if I saved it long enough 🤣🤣🤣
To keep water out
🤔 Hmmmm now that you mention it, Now i feel foolish. Sometimes the obvious escapes me. Thank you Keith!
Idk if anyone's told you, but just a gasket hack, use a small hammer handle and tap lightly with the gasket material pressed over the item, it'll almost die cut the gasket for you.
I've actually heard that but for whatever reason I never remember to do it lol

Right on brother! Making memories!
whats the overall length, width and height of that quad
I'll have to get back to you on this once I get the wheels installed. I will shout out the dimensions in the video.
@@BrandonLund 👍
Brake housing... more like blood blister pincher! Lol jkjk.
You got that right! I was LUCKY!
whered you get the axle
They are the original axles that were installed when I bought it.
😍
Thanks buddy! 😁
