Altering attachments to suit Merlo telehandlers

- In this video I alter 2 attachments to fit onto a merlo telehandler
I use Onshape to draw the brackets.
I use my Kutavar cnc table to gas cut the brackets out from 30mm plate.
The old brackets are gouged off using air arc rods and smoothed off with the grinder.
The tongues for the brackets are cnc plasma cut out of 20mm plate, they get pressed to shaped in the press brake and then a jig is used to locate them.
The brackets are then fully welded on.
An old Merlo headstock is then test fitted to make sure they fit correctly.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!
4 Channels I never miss…Yours, Cutting Edge Engineering, IC Weld, and On Fire Welding! The best on You Tube for Welding and Fabrication. Keep making great content.
Don'
Don't forget Welder Fabber
@@user-go4ig2ud8l Never viewed the channel. Since you recommended I will have to take a look!
Alistararc too
Good to see hes started his own venture with Cal an his brothers !@@user-go4ig2ud8l
It’s not just the engineering I enjoy. It’s your workshop, the farm and the way you conduct yourself. Always interesting. Love the Massey at the end 👍
Oliver, you are surprised at how many people watch your videos? You give an insight into how things are done and why. REALITY of farm life. KEEP THEM COMING. Excellent work 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
With the complexity of the problems that are being brought into your shop it is obvious that you will soon need that larger insulated shop and office complex because you will be spending more time there than in the house. Watching you is so easy, it goes back to that old teasing from high school “I love work, I could watch it for hours”. Stay warm.
You work for yourself! That’s an important bit of knowledge for us, it explains the freedom with your design.
For me the draw card is that every time it is so different what you get up too. No bullshit just as it comes. Just think if you only showed what you thought wasn't boring we probley wouldn't see much. I enjoy what you do - thanks
I think this was my favourite video to date, very satisfying with the brackets but also seeing a little more of the farm and other tractors. We often view our own lives as a bit dull but to others it is interesting, please keep posting 🙏. I hope you do get the workshop insulated and heated, I’m still hoping to do the same but I’m 58 and still haven’t managed it. I live in hope 😊
Sometimes, I need to watch your videos and Isaac's(IC Weld) to get myself motivated to make progress in the shop. Winter months on the Prairies in Canada can drag on, go to work and come home in the dark. Although, mother nature has been generous so far.
I appreciate the fabrication and welding. It's like hanging out with a friend in the shop. Not watching an infomercial or continously pitched on products used.
Id be stoked to follow along with shop projects, shop upgrades or just general videos of life on the farm.
It takes a certain person to make videos, you seem to have the knack for it!
Great video Oliver, keep them coming so you can get that shop spray foamed and that heat turned on for Winter 2024/25.

Insulated workshop and gantry crane sounds like an achievable dream.
Go for it! Keep up the good work.
I do feel warm watching your vids.....brings bad horrible memories of working in a cold workshop in winter, when all my tools were welded to the bench with frost lol
Always good to watch someone else at work, we all have our own ways to do the same job, but if there’s a better way or a tip here and there I can learn I’m all ears. Keep it up buddy 👌
I hope you get your new work shop we need more people like you in this country well done.
Just an insulated roof would do
What a treat, a Snowball video on a wet miserable dark Sunday evening, thanks Oli.
It feels great when you get a bit ahead of the bills and can afford some new tools that make your work easier and more efficient. It's always a treat to see you solve puzzles. Season's cheers, Oliver!
We just copped 43 degrees here in Sydney. Those were real good jobs. Great videos Olly, so good to watch.
That’s hot! Too hot 🥵
Oliver, I watch your channel to see how you get around some of the problems of retrofitting or repairing older equipment. I watch you, Issac and a few other guys who do fabrication work. Some of your projects have shown me a way of repair I had not thought of.
When you install the new compressor plumb the old tank into the airline. Piping the air through the old tank will add capacity and should also help strip moisture from the air. I know that it will not add running CFM to the system but should lower the number of time that the air compressor cycles when running air tools. Good luck with it.
On the other side of the earth it's Sunday night and we're now in Summer. Nice to see the snow on the ground. Thanks for another video.
Great video. Could you take a minute and give a farm tour. Would love to hear the history of some of the old stone buildings that we see in your videos. Thanks for sharing and stay warm.
Oliver has it figured out lol. I don’t even know him but I’m still proud of him. Most kids today can’t even dress themselves let alone the knowledge and skill this guy has.
You need a good air dryer for the plasma cutter, the nozzles last longer. Thanks for the good videos!
I do! It’s on the list
Blood blisters are the worse as a mechanic i know 😂 Another fantastic video. 👌 😊
Just watched your latest video, great job as usual. I live about 5 minutes from CEE Kurtis and Karen's workplace and it's a sweltering 38 degrees here today. Not sure if I could work in the cold like you do. Keep up the fantastic videos
He’s not got crocks in the local pond, that’s a plus that comes with the snow.
Not to worry - the immense spiders and long, thick snakes mostly keep the crocs at bay.@@tomtd
I live about 2000ks away from CEE and it was only 32c here.
Another great video, Olly. I'm not overly surprised by the original amount of weld on the forklift carriage. I was always taught that 1 inch of clean weld with the correct heat and penetration = 1 tonne of lifting weight
Depends on the type of rod or wire used
@@kenjohnson5475 and the material.
@kenjohnson5475 fully aware of that. It was a marginalised comment
Depends if it was done by a farmer or a professional if a farmer did it it doesn't matter if he used the 4yr old wet rods, it's still 1t for 1inch
That math doesn’t math
Wow it's snowed.
Another great video.
Looks mighty chilly.
From kiwi land.
Another great video. Thank you for taking the time to record your work and allowing us into your workshop. Love the lights on the tractor. Look like frog eyes.
You're wearing FINLAND knit cap 👍 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 now -20 deg Celsius. Great videos.
I certainly pray the lord will bless you with that shop someday
Look forward to Sunday’s morning just to watch what you have to build this week. Great video as always
BEST BIT. -- “RED TRACTOR IN THE SNOW” Glorious. Could put it out as a Xmas card!! Certainly as a SHORT!!
No need for that much welding.
New Fan in BERMUDA ! Like your NO fuss, NO bother attitude. 78 summers, retired Fireman, Marine Electrician, wood and Glas/fibre boat builder.
Here’s wishing you an insulated and heated shop in the future!
Great job I love entertaining and informative videos
You make these video's worth watching as the subscriber's that have never worked. In eng/fab shop you make it easier for them to understand what the work entails also it's well narrated as always,Ollie proud of the way You're arc air has improved 100%regards as always always stay safe when working alone ps I would like to see you make a set of heavy duty trestles 🏴👍🚜🚜
Nice work, I loved seeing the snow as it was 44 deg C (112 F) here in Sydney yesterday.
Wow that’s hot! 🥵
Another fascinating and entertaining video. Thanks very much, Oliver. I do hope you can get your workshop insulated and heated! As I said last week, I always put on a winter coat when I watch your videos in winter! 🙂 Both the Kutavar and that big press brake are worth their weight in gold and you put them to the best possible use. A crane is certainly on the top of the list of items that would be of help to you. Thanks again for the video and I hope you have a pleasant and enjoyable week ahead.
Thanks Bruce. You too
Ollie, if you can get your shop insulated with spray foam, its the fastest way, and no itching from fiberglass. One must be certain that it is not flammable, though.
Made me smile the way you showed your blood blister 🤣🤣 cracking vid olli
Nice Job, I love the fixture you have for locating the lock pin. Simple but effective. I have the same dream Oliver, fully insulated works shop and crane. I have almost all of the parts collected and the foundation is in. A little bit at a time and no bank loan is the way I am going about it. It has taken some time with a few bumps in the road that have prolonged the progress. But I am gaining. Cheers
Excellent work again. Canny Yorkshire farmers, doing the sums, buy from auction and adapt to fit.
Another nice bread and butter job Snowy, keep warm, stay safe and of course - troshing
Bet that shop is freezing🥶 first thing in the morning, dont envy you at all. Enjoy watching you work, and solving problems From a warm and thundery Victoria (Oz). Have a great Christmas ☺
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for my Sunday morning treat Oliver
Love your videos and your honesty when things go rong.
Fabrication has it errors and your problem solving is what I like.
Hope you get your dream workshop in the future.
Keep up the good work 👍
Love those 2 eyes on the old Massey, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
We watch because you are a natural engineer. Nice going on the brackets, the only thing we done differently with gas cutting, we would cut in from the edge before cutting out the pattern, we avoided blow outs. Using a computerised system I don't know how you have to start the cut. The plasma cutting does leave a better edge than gas. Really interesting post, seeing the different equipment that you work on. Thanks for posting and take care of yourself 👍
Another interesting video, good to see you applying your skills and equipment to repurpose some attachments for their new owner. I remember, back when I was a lad, that modifying a lifting attachment meant changing the bucket trip rope on the MF 135 front loader from hemp, to the new fangled polypropylene stuff 😅😅
Hello Oliver from the USA....looks to be a little chilly there! Enjoyed the video. Excellent work young man. Hope your dream shop comes true! With your work ethic, I'm thinking you are well on your way.
Lovely bit of weather you’ve got going on… thanks for persevering!
Nice Job Olli, You got your eye in quickly on the gouging, Always hated that job makes such a mess of the place, used to take that work outside if I could, also didn't do enough to be that good at it... Thanks for taking the time and effort over the videos, The quality and camera work is great. Much appreciated. It takes me back to a time when life made a lot more sense. 👍
Great video, super job and it's nice to see the new equipment making the job easier.
Interesting video Ollie. Very tidy weld runs and the plasma table is certainly a very useful addition to the workshop. Nice old Massey being put to good use at the end. My Dad was service manager at a Massey dealership back in the day.
Great video. some of the views around the farm would make great Christmas card images 😊
Love to watch you work! You will get that new shop one day….
A gantry crane and an insulated workshop would be great additions for you and your comfort.
Cracking video , the Scandinavian woolly hat looks to be close to the flashpoint of Fred dibnahs cap, it won’t go rusty ! The plasma looks to save SO much time .keep warm!
Awesome video, amazing work. Thank you Oliver
I hope your dream comes true, you are an excellent artist. You have earned an environment you feel comfortable in.
I wasn't ready for the blood blister with my bran flakes. They're nippy little beggars. Another great vid kid. Thanks for posting.
I can relate to this very well indeed. Been doing similar at home in the farm workshop but changing implements from JCB tool carrier to pin & cone.
Great job as usual. I put my compressor outside in its' own house. Saves me shtting myself every time it fires up.
Another great video. Thanks for producing them.
Great work as always, love watch other make stuff. Most don’t understand who much a lil extra heat helps with penetration on steel
Olly great adaption of old attachments and means farmer Mo can get their chores done easier (we all like a bit of easy 😝)
I have similar problem with condensation in my Nissen hut and lean to building. In the Nissen hut I found some old 3/8” hardboard round grain bins at farm sailsand used those to insulate building (air gap) and made huge difference in condensation and retaining heat from oil burner. Need to deal with lean to flat roof and considering in spray foaming it, can get the kits but also going to enquire with a local firm whom sprays agriculture buildings (tatttie stores etc) as hoping they could call in when in area for a couple of hours to spray. Will cost a few quid but worth the investment I reckon.
Great video as always and hope you catch up with some of them little jobs over Xmas 😉👍
Really good enjoyable video. Keep them coming.
Thought you were building a tank. Excellent job. Just done my log run with the 62 Major. Thank you for posting.
another fascinating video, thanks for sharing and keep posting. I think I would have to install a wood burner in the workshop for the time being. 👍
The heat disappears faster than any burner so it’s pointless at the moment
Superb content once again, always look forward to a Snowball video 🤙
I love your approach to work - always pleasure watching someone do real work not made up u tube stuff - also seems the UK suffering the full effects of global warming - dunno how you'll survive the heat.
It’s always good to watch your videos Ollie. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and warm!
Enjoy watching Olly? It's become the highlight of my Sunday afternoon viewing! Glad you have more success than me, with a can of aerosol paint, especially as it's so chilly! 😅
Enjoyed that! Another cool vid. Definitely getting the use out of your new CNC table. Nice one. Need a paraffin jet heater though, looks bloody cold. 🤪
Goodness me you have more snow than Edmonton Alberta it’s a nice walking day here -8. Lol
You made me chuckle with the middle finger mate, bet a few choice words were said 🫢 Hope you have a great Christmas, cheers for sharing your work 👍
Hopefully one day you'll be able to get a "dream shop" like Diesel Creek, heated floors and the giant overhead gantry to haul everything around; a good ambition to have and I'm sure it will come in time, I've followed a few youtubers for many years and it's incredible to watch people grow a business from almost nothing and when they never imagined it could actually happen, but it does, and always well deserved.
Oh, and that cnc plasma cutter thingy is a FULL on 'I've been expecting you Mr Bond' tool. It's great 😀 I'd have had some bacon n eggs chucked on there by now too.......
All Good
Nice to see the “adjustments” and that everything isn’t perfect ! 👍 👍
Nice Sunday watch ☕️
AlwAys enjoy watching your work. Have to say, when it comes to learning curves, a blood blister is a damned sight better than a mushy finger! 👍
Always a good start to Sunday. Ashville Weekly followed by Oliver grappling with metal!!👍👍
Another great video and two more awesome fabrication jobs.
Ug the sight of that snow is depressing. Great video
You never stop learning something always! Thanks kid
You guys got hit by snow too. It sneezed here for a day and then that was it. Weird world we're in. :))
Great that you keep it real, mistakes & all. Great work!
Always a good evening when you upload mate
I wish I was near you got some jobs for someone like you Olly thanks for the awesome videos.
I hope when you eventually get your overhead gantry crane it has two hooks on it (very useful for rotating loads). I look forward to every video on your channel.
I use an industrial 135 fergy every day to push feed up to my cows,minus six last week and it starts without heat and a flick of the key,greatest tractor ever made in opinion.👍
You can actually get fireproof spray foam insulation now, don't know who would do it but might be worth looking into for roof & corrugated walls. Would save your equipment from moisture.
Great job I bet some equipment gets swapped and changed so much over the years.
Nice cold start to finnish off thank you 👍👏🙏
Finally some Snow for snowball engineering :) sure been a while since i was last up north... love watching the content. keep them coming and have a great xmas... ohh and another person i see that has bessey level clamps. i love my clamps lol so helpful.
Nice approach, I was chuckling as not having access to any form of plasma cutting I would and have to cut out a cardboard paten for that flitch bracket. That is why I save the cornflakes boxes lol
Cool video... keep Up!
Good morning looking like you been getting the good jobs too work on
The Kutavar seems to be a great asset... Great work and very interesting all round. Actually riveting, so nice to see... 😜
Hi Oliver, season's greetings to you and your's, nice job on the conversion , and bringing in the logs whith the old tractor was good, especially whith a bit of the white stuff lying about. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's, Stuart Uk.
Thanks!
You will need a hot needle for that blood blister lol lol ....nice job well done handy having those jigs and headstock good to know no second guessing there ....thks for the content awesome job..
If I had the money Ollie I'd buy you that workshop, nice that your tool collection is expanding however no good if your workshop roof is like Niagara falls. 🤣😂 And we watch because your bloody brilliant. 👍😊
That’s a nice 35x you have there Oliver. I remember when they first came out, our neighbour bought one, as i was only about fifteen I didn’t know that you shouldn’t covet your neighbours goods but i certainly did with this tractor. Ha.
As always great video keep them coming they help make my day 😁 .
