Truck Spindle Repair

- In this video we finish off the spindle repair job I showed in the Saturday Night Special 12 vid. I completed the lathe work in the Monarch, some simple milling in the DoAll mill, then to finish press it back into the spindle housing.
The clips were getting pretty long in this one, so I had to shorten them up as to not drag out the length of the video too much. I left out some of the talking and measuring clips but I believe you guys will see the steps I'm taking to get it done.
I hope everyone enjoys this weeks project, and thanks for watching!
Adam
I think you have a real nack for teaching. I am a weekend woodworker, and I watch machining videos because I think its fascinating how much technical data you guys know. Thanks for being a third generation tradesman! America needs more like you.
Hi Adam, I have seen your videos in Holland and admire your craftsmanship and your clear explanation. thank you for the nice pastime watching your videos. I am 73 years old but never too old to learn. I wish you long lasting health so we can see you for a long time to come.
Greetings from Holland
Hans
Appreciate you not boring us with unnecessary footage. Keep up the applicable subjects and you’ll be full time. ( providing you aren’t there already).
Adam, great job. i an a female who started out in manufacturing back in the 70`s.
I am a 58 yr, old mom,straight woman. Spent most of my life in th medical field as a surgical tech. cercomestance do to breast cancer, took me out of the med field.
I am currently going to college to become a social worker.
To keep a roof over my head as i go to school, i am doing metal shaping.
I am a auto metal shaper and i am reaching back over my shoulder to the old days of machine work .
i work for a privet auto collector,(friend) and we have recently acquired a 13" swing South bend lathe.
I have been studying videos to help me to remember some things and tricks that i long forgot.
Thank you so much for posting this video.
I never knew that those spindle centers were removable.
I was impressed with how you did that little relief before you cut the threads in the spindle shaft.
I was actually nervous,
" if he miscalculates now, it is ruined"
I was impressed with how sure you are of your proceedures.
You must have many years in this business.
Did you do this as a demonstration only, or is it a real client.
I ask this because would it not have been less expensive to just find another spindle assembly from the wrecking yard.
Your material was about 80 dollars ,and you time was ???? in dollars.
That is what makes me wonder if you did this job as a teaching seminar, to show how it is done.
Well , thank you so much for the lesson.
I learned from you tonight.
Thanks again. i will be looking forward to viewing other video`s that you have.
Bye-Bye.
You make it look so easy - and you are to blame for me sitting for a lot of time watching - Thank You ..
I enjoyed that, better than watching the television! Thanks Adam!
Great work. The way you explain the process and your approach to the work is very helpful to a beginner hobby machinist. Thanks for sharing.
I can't tell you how much your videos are appreciated. ^5 Machinist these days use so much automated equipment that the "older tried and tested skills & methods" sometimes gets lost. It's good that you're one of those that shares knowledge that may otherwise be lost.
Recent subscriber here...6 year old videos showing up in my recommended, and I couldn't be happier that TH-cam assumed I'd like to watch Abom79 milling vids! This is actually like the 6th or 7th video I've watched so far, and I've gotta say that your videos are absolutely satisfying to watch. People who take pride in their work are a dying breed nowadays. My only question that I have is: How are there people who actually dislike and hit the thumbs down button on these videos?? Looks like there's more tools watching these videos than IN these videos....
As always, a joy to watch. And your tractor buddy now has a aerospace grade machined part. If that part comes back to your shop, you-all need to sit down and have a chat about DUI. :-)
What I don't understand is how can anybody give this guy a negative thumbs down response he is absolutely fantastic what an awesome craftsman
I love that you show every aspect of your work. I hope that any vehicle that has been repaired that I ride in has been repaired by someone with your dedication to material and craftsmanship. Good work..
Beautiful finished product! Great call making new rather than repair for safety reasons!
You are doing great work. Not talking rubbish and making it rocket sciense. Great work, great videos.
You are a very skilled tradesman and it is nice to see you give credit and respect to your father and grandfather I was also schooled by my father and uncle to very special skilled people please keep the videos coming you do a great job I have learned a lot from you Thanks very much and you should be very proud of yourself best of luck God Bless John
Good presentation of the material choices. LOVED the discussion of properties. The attention to detail is the true mark of a craftsman. Your customers are lucky!
You are the best love your video.rick Higson Olympia Washington.I am a retired auto shop owner for 49 years and what you do is that of wish I could do. Thanks!
Adam, I used to work on lathes too. You are great and I watch you rather than movies!! Reminds me of good old times and smells. Just excellent.
LMAO - Ya pressed it out and got an easy job now. Talking like it's making a cup of coffee for him. But then again I now know how people feel when I talk to them. 30 years Lic mechanic. Love watching his videos.
Excellent job! Your videos are much better than TV Shows. Greetings from Poland Mr. Adam
Great job, nice build. You are very meticulous most people would not take that kind of pride or concern for life safety! God bless
you sir are simply a master machinist with the safety of the end user paramount my hat is off to you 👏👏
I learned to operate milling machines and lathes in high school. Got drafted, Army 2 years (Vietnam). When I got back here there were no jobs especially in the North East. Where manufacturing was concerned.
Never got back to it. This was really interesting..... made me think like a teenager. Thank you!
As a mechanic watching someone make a spindle from scratch is pretty amazing. Nice job!
It is great to see the Non-CNC art of machining is still around... Great Job!!
I have to say as long as i have been watching,i have never once heard you say "screw it good enough it's not mine" you always go for dead nuts on the money and it shows.That is the sign of a man who is a true master craftsman something were sorely need more of.
Thanks for sharing Adam. I'm more of a hobbyist with not much experience compared to talents like yourself but I appreciate your willingness to share your methods with those of us who desire to learn. Great job as always and please keep em coming, people like you are a blessing!
Ive been a mechanic for over 40 years , Ive seen alot of stuff and You impress me. I dont impress easily. thank you for taking me back to machine shop class
My thoughts also. As a DIY, with a 3 in one machine, I've saved alot, repairing- making tools, etc.
Your patience is an excellent tool for this type of work.
I really appreciate your time making these videos.
They are also so calming, even my wife doesn't mind watching them.
Great channel.
You sir, are not just a machinist, you are an artist. Loved watching this video
Im sure that the point of your videos is to explain the machining process .
If Im repairing a truck I can get a replacement spindle in less time than the video takes.
As an amateur with a lathe or mill, I appreciate the set ups and the techniques you explain in your videos. Thanks
A real craftsman with a real talent.
I wish I could tell you how many hours I spend watching your videos and enjoy every minute. You are an inspiration to the concept of being a craftsman!!
It almost doesn't matter what the subject is: seeing talented/passionate people performing there skills is really satisfying! :)
I very much appreciate the analysis on different steel options and reasons for deciding on what to use. Indeed, there is very much 'riding' on the choice.
another great instructional video by my youtube professor Adam. Thanks, Mike in Lincoln, Nebraska (Retired Anesthesia guy)
I'm 3yrs into a fitter and machinist apprenticeship and love your videos, learnt so much from them!! Keep them up mate!
I have just retired after 49 years as a turner in the UK!
Hey Adam your a damn good machinist and I especially like the way that you explain all your steps as you are going through them. My dad was a machinist at Lockeed here in Sunnyvale Cal. and he trained me on how to use a lathe and a mill so I also make parts but usually only for my own projects with the exception of fixing things for friends. The video is understated by calling it a spindle repair, it should be called fabricating a spindle from scratch!. Good job I enjoyed watching the entire video. Marti.
It's amazing that you find the time to produce videos of all the work you need to do. Thank you!
Great presentation, A job well done for sure. I bet the customer was very happy to have found a seasoned machinist that could handle such a task to perfection. very nice work!!
Fabulous....You got this TH-cam video shit down. Well done! I like that you explain everything in detail and the information is relevant. If you keep this up Adam you will be famous soon. I am going to push your channel on my personal outlets. You really should be a teacher if you have the patience. Keep them coming.
Thanks Tom! 👍
I as one, think you are doing a fine job, and I thank you for making these videos, I'm learning a lot. Michael said that bye for now my friend.
I am so incredibly grateful to you for making this video! It answered a whole bunch of questions I had about machining and lathes. I would absolutely love to be able to learn the trade from someone such as yourself. Thank you Mr.Booth!
nice job adam no body thinks about all the technical side and tolerances or the stresses on the steel cracking job mate keep the fantastic videos coming
Great technic, not too many Machinist' can elaborate on their work. Awesome.
Good video Adam--I especially enjoyed your talk on selecting the right material before you even start the job....Super important,machining everything to specs--install it and then have the bloody thing fail,that would make anyones blood pressure rise..
You are a very skilled man. Good to see in this day and age. Really enjoy the videos. Steve UK
Very good accurate work, the machines are there but it's all knowing how to use them God Bless from Ireland.
I’ve only ever seen lathe work up close, but I never thought I’d be able to learn so much from watching this on TH-cam! Great job from a normie that loves watching things being made!!
You are the best machinist I’ve seen good work GOD BLESS
Hello Adam, Excellent maintenance machining repair job ! It makes one feel good to be able to bring something like that back to life, and keep on using it. Thanks for the extra time you spend showing, explaining and videoing your jobs. Please, keep up the good work !
Another fine job Adam. I spent many younger years machining and still miss it.
The beauty of old-school metalworking is seen in the skill of the worker, beautiful work.
I wish everyone took that much pride in their work. Great job!
Excellent video, Adam and thanks also for telling us just enough of what we need to know and not a lot of irrelevant chatter.
when going to cabinetmaking school in Ontario, the machinist shop was just down the hall. I'd walk by, stop and watch the guys learning their trade. I can still smell the machining oil... nice watching you work.
You are the man Adam. You make it look so easy.
Well done Adam, I can’t stop watching your videos, You’re great in explaining in an easy way something that is quiet complex. Keep going on, my regards from Italy.
Thanks very much for your great videos, your workmanship is something you should be very proud of, I look forward to watching and learning more, I really appreciate that you are willing to pass on your knowledge.
Wonderful job. I am no machinist, you make it look so easy
Well done brother, even the simplest of things help out amateurs like myself. Thank you for sharing. It does not go unnoticed.
Is this a good TH-cam show or what? Easily my favorite. Creative, solution based and meticulous etc,etc.
“Hey guys, welcome back to the shop. My name’s Adam.” Adam, it’s been a long, long time since you’ve needed to introduce yourself to your half million fans. It’s always a joy to watch a master craftsman.
Thanks Adam enjoyed I just starting to learn at age 64 love machining I have learned lot from your channel
Thanks very much for all your efforts. I really enjoy your videos. You are an expert in your field and do a good job of explaining this complicated work to all.
Thanks for these videos. Your kind of person are really helpful to learning the machining of different and odd things. I am mechanical engineer in INDIA. I always download your videos and show them to my workers at the company workshop and they also learn from you. They are also appreciating your vids and the detailed explanation you give for the work. keep making and sharing this kind of your vids. Thank you.
Adam I cant thank you enough I can not live without a thread stop. What you showed is so simple instead of machining dovetails and all that for a stop. Hate to say I never saw a Monarch in the flesh (around here) another well done spindle or
"stub axle" lol by the way, they really are called stub axles on the bolt on Ford
4x4 spindle we machine a fare share of those cause they usually destroy these to
replace U joints
sam
In a strong field, this is some of the best machine shop content I have found. Great content, great camera work, great play by play. Thanks for going to the trouble to do it.
I didn't think I was going to watch a whole 41 minute video but here I am, until the end. That was an interesting process. I'm enjoying seeing all the machines in your inventory. Great job.
Adam , you are amazing. I love that you still have tools from your grandady.
Very Informative. Artistry, craftsmanship and technical skill all rolled into one.
4 years late Adam but it's a real pleasure watching you work, you are a Master Craftsman sir, and I salute you!
Great job Adam. Really appreciate the way you took us through the while process from materials selection to pressing back in place. Clive, Pakistan.
excellent video,and a great repair. its a pleasure to see real craftsmen work
Always a joy to watch you machine stuff like this Adam, it’s a great channel, inspirational.
So nice to watch a craftsman at his trade
Nice job.
Well done Adam. I have so enjoyed viewing your work. Thanks for sharing.
You are truly talented. So cool that you can make things like that.
As we say in Danish "Tusind tak!" (a thousand thanks) for showing you working the lathe. I have suggested to several that we get a medium shot of the best tool in the shop, the operator's body, in action. Just that little passage of you operating the lathe while threading showing how you work the lathe was really informative. Great video and super work. As usual, very enjoyable.
Thanks Jim, and glad to know that was helpful to you. Thanks for the comments and checking out the new video.
You sir are a real craftsman, no question.
Nowadays a lot of people forget that the work they do might have the lives of others riding on it. IN your case more than just a figure of speech.
So, i tip my hat to you for expressing such concern not only in your work process but also impressing it on your viewers as well.
Indeed.
I agree whole heartedly.
Thank you Aserta!
I had to look at a replacement valve rocker shaft for my Massey, couldn't buy a new one, I took the old one to a bloke who had a Rockwell hardness tester, turned out it was only mild steel, I bought a chrome moly tube shaft which was ideal but have not got it machined yet, great job as per usual.
Good job Adam, great video. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Love that McMaster-Carr; when I had an instrument manufacturing business (retired) , MC was like the Sears catalog for us and orders were usually delivered next day. They no longer have a catalog but the on-line order system is flawless..
Beautiful work as ever! It's a real pleasure to watch such careful and accurate and skilled hands.
Really nice work. Enjoyable watching because he explains everything. Thanks Abom
I trust your work and I trust you because you do the right thing for everybody and I appreciate that which should you keep up the good work
Whenever i can i watch your videos,, just love seeing ur work, awesome job man.. Thanks from a Norwegian mechanic
Great video really enjoyed it keep up the great work.
it is always a learning experience seeing your work. Thanks. This reminds me of a spindle you machined for a car.
Once again I am impressed. Thanks for this video Adam.
I've spent the last 20 years doing repairs to many kinds of equipment. Always, thought has to go into the end use and what can possibly go wrong. Somebody is driving or operating the piece of equipment and a bad repair can have some bad consequences. Some of the snowmobiles I've repaired can easily go over 100 MPH and a failure of a drive axle or suspension component can cause a severe accident.
Taking the time to research materials and making a good choice should pay off in the end.
Again, great job. I would feel comfortable knowing you built the piece for my truck. :-)
Colin
Thanks Colin. When in doubt, use some good strong material!
Hi, i have a 4 ton truck, rear left spindle got broken and i had it fixed. The truck went to load and the spindle fell fell down again this time also the side shaft axle is broken. I took it back to the engineer for fixing. Do you have any advice
Very nice work Adam ....... I stumbled across your videos by accident and I'm glad I found them I think you'd make a great instructor ...... I believe you would be very successful in this field sharing your craft with others ...... Keep up the good work I'm sure your Grandfather and Father are very proud of you.....
Absolute Craftsmanship, Beautiful piece of work.
Great job, reminds me of my way back days at Gordon's Machine Shop. Rest in peace Denny!
I know 0 about machining things but I am learning a lot! Your channel is great man! Make more videos for us!!
Just found your channel the other day. You're an amazingly talented person, and I wish I had even 10% of your abilities. Between your videos and Andrew Camerata's videos, I'm completely in awe! Thanks.
I think this was one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for showing how it is done.
That is awesome. When I took vocational welding, they had a lathe very similar to yours.I wish we spent more time on the lathe but being a welding class, they just quickly covered the basics and most the time was cutting, fitting and welding.
Thank you for this awesome video!!!
