In this video I repair yet another broken JCB TM320 headstock. This one is a pin and cone headstock so the repair process is slightly different to the recent Q Fit ones.
Firstly, the remains of the old plates are removed, cut off with the plasma cutter, gouged away with the arc air gouger and then smoothed off with the grinder. The usual cracks are found at the weld edge, these are also gouged out but with the plasma.
New bigger plates are profiled out on the cnc table from 25mm plate using the gas cutting torch, these are then cleaned up, drilled and tapped for the M16 bolt to hold the pin in.
The headstock is welded down onto the bench with some prestress to help prevent it from bowing due to welding. Its preheated and the cracks are welded up.
Next job is to tack the new plates into position and cut and press the strengthening plate to fit in the middle. A plate to go under the upright plates is also plasma cut from 10mm plate.
Everything is then welded up. After its cooled down, the pressure is released from the headstock by cutting it off the bench.
It can then be line bored back to size.
I make the decision to quickly test fit it onto our own machine, all fits good so final good is to give it a paint.
Hope you enjoyed the video
Thanks for watching!
I like this sort of stuff. No stupid unnecessarily over dramatic title, no cliff hangers, huge beards,even bigger egos, mirrored sunglasses and backwards baseball caps and fillmed in a workshop full of sponsered tools. Just a straightforward chap demonstrating his skills and explaining everything as he goes. Nice😊
You forgot about the awful loud non copyright macho guitar music. Oh , and whooping.
Huge beards. Hahaha. Backwards baseball caps, superb. Banjo players.
Yep these are the best people to learn from
I also notice he doesn't look like he snorts whey protein powder, and covered top-to-bottom in flaming skull tattoos. But seriously, this is EXACTLY the kind of person you want on your Zombie Apocalypse Team. "Well, after choppin' off the heads of some of those bigger ones, it looks like ol' Nigel has busted the dozer blade again. I think this time, we'll try beefin' up the welds around the bucket, and maybe add some gussets in the corners, and have him give it another go..."
Aye, and don’t forget people trying to act trendy. None of that with Mr Snowball, just a succinct and down to earth and to the point North Yorkshire guy from start to finish.
I would like to see him make one of those robot machines that fight each other, like they had on that tv programme Robot Wars years ago. Trouble is I don’t suppose he has much spare time.
Not only "successfully repaired", but stronger and better than original. Great work.
Dear JCB, thank you for all the repair work your inferior engineering has provided me. Love Oliver.
THAT’S funny! 😂😂😂
probably wank chinese steel imported in because its cheap
LOL
As I have an Engineering Son, It Not always there fault, They have Bean Counters Stand there With There Arabis Cutting costs with No No cosideration of structural Interrogative of item
@@fredscheerle7592 like Boeing
You might not have the resources that Cutting edge engineering has but you still do great work & I keep on waiting on your latest uploads, so keep on with your great fabrication work!
I guess a lot depends on which market base you are supporting. Oliver's area are fortunate to have him. Being a true farmer first-off I'm sure helps ! NO bullsh1t here !
You are definitely the “Rolls Royce” of menders, your local farmers are lucky to have you about.
Sunday morning coffee and Snowball Engineering! Love it!
Yea it great
Exactly how I play it!!
Yep!
Good to see you're getting noticed by firms sending you useful products ! another quality repair.
Thanks for taking us along as you do it. Brian from South Yorkshire.
Brilliant video, personally i dont care what you post, i enjoy watching what you make and fix. Thank you
Young man. You are now a proper influencer on youtube. Congrats. Free stuff will fall at your feet. Good on you. Your pop must be proud of his boy.
Hi Ollie , My mate used to work on bucket , headstock production as a sub contractor on nights at their Staffordshire site . You need to either patent your work or better still give them a call tell them what you are seeing in the field as a failure and how you are improving it come to an arrangement money or equipment they have a good engineering team who would love to talk to you on a consultancy basis go for it mate 👍
That would be great for Oliver , but would JCB and their design team do that ?, it would be nice to think they would 😊
may be they like selling spare parts has we know they now how to charge ?@@csnelling4
It's quite likely they are made to have a limited life.
I I would just like to say you are a bloody genius. so clever, I just love how calm you are when you tackle jobs like this so laid-back and no nonsense, shit, always give 100% in your work all the time great content as always thank you till the next one😊😊😊😊
JCB should send one of their team down to see you so they can improve their design. You are seeing lots of failures that they can learn from. They could bring you some merch as well, overalls etc.
Not the design more the material choices, thin is less expensive. Then again in my experience in plant and yellow iron, user abuse is mandatory
loving the videos and your craftmanship Ollie❤ your dancing in the leauge of Ciurtis from CEE Austrailia, so high praise indeed my friend. please keep the work and videos flowing mate. your the best engineering channel in the UK by far.
The added bits of technical info on the gas cutting was a nice touch.
Hi olly any chance we can have a look round the farm and find out what you do when helping out on the farm another great video keep up the good work cheers
That would be a good video
I love how the auto-generated captions describe welding as [music] and sped-up welding as [applause]
Thermal cameras are especially useful when your shop dog is hiding somewhere and you want to find him.
Hello Oliver from the USA....you are getting to be the "JBC Repair King" with your upgraded repairs! Nice work as always.
Nice work again, I love watching your weekly videos, always something new, never repetitive. Thanks!
"You can get special square rods..." "I don't have any.." Hilarious !! 👍 Like this grumpy sad down to earth workshop.
UK’s version of ’Cutting Edge Engineering ‘ in Australia,both very talented people!
Another brilliant repair video, Olly. Nice one, Topdon for supporting Snowball engineering and British agricultural engineering. You'll only get honest and valuable information from this channel
Have JCB being in touch to see your improvements to their headstocks. And maybe not to highlight their short comings. Keep up the good work. Derek
It's the notch at the edge of the weld. It's a stress-raiser. Whatever you do that reduces the sharpness of the notch will reduce the fatigue cracking. The way you drew the repair weld it had a larger angle in there, i.e. less sharp, less stress concentration.
Isn´t that exactly what Oliver said/ment? At least i understood his explnation that way.
He talked about weld prep and spreading the weld over a larger area. It was a consequence of this change that the surface notch angle was improved - but he didn't talk about the surface notch.
Don;t you feel bad about repetitive videos Oliver, we love to have em. Great stuff. Keep em coming mate. Cheers 👌
Oliver you do first class work!
I try!
Keep up the great work Oliver, I like watching all the jobs you post on YT, You do amazing work and I gleen so much from watching your videos.
Keep them rolling.
From kiwi land.
Definitely accept the free tools and instruments that you can use in the workshop, then do an honest review, warts and all. The viewers will find it interesting.🇬🇧😀
I was surprised how much tension there was once u cut it from the table
Me too, it made me jump
Like your attitude with the gifted tools. Obviously your channel is gaining popularity and that’s down to you. Keep it real. I gave up on Abom79 when he was promoting a workshop portable air fan that was over $5000.
Thx Ollie. Good of you to show us how this all fits together at the end, for us numpties who know nothing about this sort of thing, Enjoy your content.....thx
Another quality job from the JCB headstock king of North Yorkshire 😄 Chris Allen ( Professional struggler) swears by the TopDon jump-pack, good to see it working well around the farm!👏
Another great video for a Sunday morning thanks Olly
Well Done Oliver. Your line boring machine has well paid for itself and you know it inside and out. Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you!
Someone already said you may not have the possibilities to do the CEEs high end work. Which i really enjoy watching. But i also really like how you use your intelligence to tinker out creative and very good solutions. (I hope "tinker" is the right word. Because English in not my mother tongue. ^^) Mo matter if engineering, crafting or even making music and art. Limited resources force and encourage creativity and intelligence. 😉
Man made his own line borer
Mr Snowball! I love you and your channel!
Great job Ollie, keep them coming!
Considering how many jcb headstocks you do, would you consider doing a core replacement type thing, where you have one or two beef up ones in stock then charge the customer what it’ll cost to get their one to that level then just swap them out?
And, as an added bonus it, will give Ollie something to do when work is less busy. I think Kurtis already does this sort of thing with the dipper rods etc.
Again really good video well done, from watching your videos, it giving me the confidence to try some basic welding me self, you have over the last 6months answered a lot of questions I have had, thanks
That new plasma cutter is earning its keep
It certainly is. Use it for nearly every job
Excellent work, and entertaining to watch the process you use. Thanks for the video.
Someone below mentioned Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering - when i saw you line boring i thought of his channel worth a look! - Stay safe
The way you done that job is far stronger than manufacture.
Is a lots of jobs on JCBs I think they need to watch your videos and analysing what they doing wrong.
Oliver JCB need to contract you 👍 👌
Another excellent job! That headstock now looks bombproof, it won’t be coming back to you for the same repair. Thanks for sharing!!
Dear JCB, thank you for giving Oliver tons of repairs for us to watch. It really makes our week. Love, Everyone.
Having spent decades doing this kind of stuff, I can honestly say that it is upwards of 85% of finger trouble- operator induced damage- that causes problems. Owner /operators who think that spending a couple of minutes a day greasing and checking is a complete waste of time and would rather spend thousand having to scream and cry at some poor sod to fix it because they need it that day and it is the most important thing in the world. People literally sobbing.Changing hydraulic filters and checking the oil. I've seen hydraulic oil that is black, totally burnt and as thin as piss causing the pumps and motors to fail because the operator/ owner was too tightarse to spend a few quid. Hydraulics are extraordinarily reliable if maintained. Bushes and linkages that should last thousands of hours are treated as consumables because of piss-poor maintenance. You'll never be short of work Oliver.
Well done Olly great repair job again. Really interesting what you get into the work shop.
You do a great job with your work thanks.
Not being familiar with the machines you repair, it was nice to see how your repaired part works. Thanks. I enjoy watching you puzzle out solutions to problems.
1:03:42 maybe it keeps cracking because the headstock hits its mechanical stop before the hydraulic ram is at his end position. Therefore de ram keeps pulling on the headstock when its blocked by the endstop
Thats a good point.
That won’t help but the headstock should be stronger than the hydraulics. Often when operating them you can overpower the hydraulics, especially scooping into a heap and tilting back the bucket.
Great job! You need to keep track of these improvements you make, here in USA you can get paid for fixing shit manufacturers mess up. I've made several dollars doing just that. Keep up the great work Oliver. From Texas
Another great video and job! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
It's great to see the videos weekly even if it's a repeat of an earlier job. They are all slightly different and your solution changes. Stay warm.
Thank you for the great video and job description Oliver 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Another great video Oliver. Your work ethics and going beyond to ensure your customers get back quality pieces is top notch. We'll done.
Bardzo dobra i solidna robota, krok po kroku pokazałeś swoją wiedzę i fachowość. A że zajęła dużo czasu to świadczy o uczciwej naprawie. Z przyjemnością oglądam Twoje filmy. Super!😀
It is great that you are able to use CAD, Computer Assisted Design. I've seen some folks are stuck with Cardboard Assisted Design.
After 1" effective cutting goes to the gas torch,,and no real scarf to the cut.
Nice work !!
Sounds like you should knock out a few sets of those brackets so they're on hand ready to go. It won't be the last one you get to do. Love your no nonsense approach to doing stuff.
Oliver, brilliant video, that looks like a substantial repair that will stand the test of time.
Glad you are getting some recognition from potential sponsors, you deserve it for providing some great content in the Specialist field of Agricultural repairs.
You want to copyright these improvements to the headstocks, when JCB start using them they will have to pay you.
There are some out there like this already.
@@snowballengineeringGreat work by the way why not build you a jig to cut down on the measuring time when they keep coming in. Like have something that locates the pin so no matter the break you can still use the jig.
Fantastic content as usual 👏👏👏👏👏👏✊✊✊
@@snowballengineering First to copyright Wins right?
Send the sealed plans to yourself registered signed for delivery and let the Judge open them for the first time in court.
Jcb won't change their design,
It's. Avery paticular failure related to cleaning out barns, scraping floors amd hitting things in the floor, tries to fold the bucket under the machine,
Do that enough amd you get this, along woth other machine damage, not something that happens overnight, it's years of abuse, just an added cost of livestock farming
And jcb are arrogant prick as well, we've tried to get help and give help from them before with problems, it's very much " we don't have any problems were perfect"
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Glad to see you get some "toys" you can use. Thanks again for sharing your work.
Awesome repair Oliver. Just a quick note that using infrared thermometers and imaging cameras on steel can be very difficult to get an accurate temperature reading. The emissivity coefficients for steel vary widely, rusty steel is 0.85 (at best) and polished steel can be 0.1 and lower. You've probably got a better idea of the preheat temperature by your own intuition than using an infrared thermometer.
Just to provide more intuition on this - certain surfaces act like a mirror in IR just like they do for visible light. The indicator paint was probably the helpful here. However using the camera, it is easier to determine whether you're looking at a reflection.
Could you spray a spot of black high temp paint on the steel and do your readings on that?
@@Mishn0 Yes you can do that, I've used black VHT paint take readings, the emissivity is around 0.95
@@Mishn0 you could but any soot on the surface is going to help just as much. I think you just better at spoting a reflection over time
Great content, loved seeing the end result put on the machine…
The transcript is funny. Music applause and laughter. Looks more like custom fabrication to me but maybe I’m wrong
Was für eine klasse Arbeit 👍👍👍
Great work! Were I the owner of that machine, I’d be very happy with your repairs. Always send it out a little better than it came in besides just the fix. You’ll always have jobs in the cue when you turn out quality like that. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks
Thank you
Got a JS3000 a few weeks ago, works great on the digger and tractors at farm, used it on all sorts already. Iv found if the battery to be jumped is too flat you have to force it into boost mode. The initial % reading is supposed to be what the flat batteries current charge is. I think if you press the power button it will show you the js3000 charge. Think its supposed to auto power on when connected up to a battery with a reasonable charge, but when has a battery got a decent charge if it needs a jump... most of the time mine has flashed red and needed to press and hold boost till it clicks and shows green then crank
Great video, excellent repair. I am so impressed with your shop made line boring machine! You are a very talented young man!
Oliver
yes those camera are very good , when I worked for Nat West Bank as a engineering supervisor at the main computer centre , before a shecdualed power down night we had a firm com in and scan every connection box on the processing floor and all the related incomers , they also provided a normal image to hi light the problem save us hours and the bank a lot of money , the ones they used was more like a DSLR but needed a bater back pack ,but that was 30 years ago .
Oliver love your videos and your workmanship it's brilliant.
I know you have did these repairs before on other attachments but you can see how to improve them whereby JCB haven't.
Great stuff and thanks for for entertaining us with your videos.👍
Impressive improvement. Good filming. Thanks
is it possible to do a walk around of the farm, and explain a bit more about that, as I know your workshop is on the family farm and you help out with that during the summer,
Well done! Thanks for letting us hangout.
That is what I call a upgrade. This is a good channel thanks for the content and greetings from the NJ Bayshore.
44:11 That's awesome! You can actively see the right ear move on the timelapse as you're applying the heat, just like you planned.
Interesting video as always. Nice to see the head stock on a machine - helped me understand. Thank you.
That, sir Snowball, came out really nice!!! Good job!
Look forward to my Sunday morning video. Another great repair. Like someone else said you should get a pattern before JCB steals it and doesn’t allow you to use it any longer
Hey Oliver, very nice work again 😊 Glad them aluminium inserts work that good on your line boring machine 👍😎 and yes, i rather see repetitive work than no video, i just like watching you work, as i dont have time to film and no skills at all at editing 😂 thx for the video to my sunday morning coffee ☕️👋 Greetings from Germany, Chris
Excellent work and video. Thanks!
Love to watch the younger generation take the lead , i thought it must of been your dad´s shop ! Back in the 50 & 60 we didn´t have plaz ark, CNC , and all the toys of today . We did it with torchs , rosebuds ,and Jigs .. I love to see son´s working with there dads .. We only have one so, learn all his tricks. an Old 79 year ole from S E Texas.. See Ya
When I do these repairs I weld it in with electrode (7018 or 7016) and multiple beads. I think, because it is slower you putting more heat in and when you put multiple layers of weld over another, the ones below are losing a bit of the tension (I got this from Jody from Weldingtipsandtricks). I think they welded it in stone cold and to fast.
Excellent work, and great videos. I have watched them all, and a couple of them more than once :)
My only regret is the fact that we never get to see the stuff you fix, mounted and back at work again. It's like seeing a restauration channel, but never getting to see the restored item working :)
But this being customers stuff, i can see how that would be hard to get videos of :)
Keep up the great work, and more power to you . For me, being a small machine/engine mechanic (with a way smaller workshop than yours), it's very inspiring for me to see how you approach things. I have taken more than one of your ideas and implemented them in my workflow :)
Great stuff you're doing here Oliver, calm thinking going into everything you have done and will go on to do.
The broken brackets you get in really have been used and abused well beyond normal practice , what are they doing with them for it to get so bad before they admit defeat and bring the wreckage to you ?.
And again a very interesting project. Again, a very beautiful, original solution. And again, high-quality execution. It is always pleasant and interesting to follow your work. I wish you more subscribers and sponsors. Do not stop. You are doing everything right.
Great job. It was nice to see the unit on the tractor/ machine.
Congrats Ollie, good job.
Another fine job young man!
Great video 👍 As you probably already know any sharp angle edge is a high stress point.Always
try and use radius or drill bore holes rather than have square sharp edges like a 90° notch etc😊
Excellent video and a super repair! Much stronger and I bet will last many more years than the factory ones did.
I bet dad loves having you around
Excellent work sir! Always great to see what you are working on.
great show. thanks again for your time.
I might suggest a large permanent magnet for fishing your projects out of the mother plate. We can see your frustration with that v bed
Well done great video as always
Wont be long before you are swamped with Milwaukee tools 😄
Another outstanding bit of work, thanks for showing us how it works, no doubt soon, your Dad will be getting you to update the farm's one before it actually breaks. Have been a fan of Topdon's products for a while, will probably make some use of the percentage off.
I know that the U-tubers sometimes get a level of sponsorship for advertising a particular product that has nothing to do with what they are about, to me it's like watching old American TV programmes where they move over the sponsor and talk about, soap powder etc. Am really glad you've decided to go down the route of only promoting products that only relate to what you do. 👍
