Well done Brian. Always a sense of pride when you upgrade an original bad design. Sounds like your mate has chosen the easy out option and left you to work alone... 😠
It's an absolutely fantastic video overall. Very descriptive in it's goals for trying to let the viewers know either way of what the end goals are. Thank you very much for putting this video together. It's highly appreciated.
LOL... Social distancing Baily!!!! I figured Baily wasn't around with you lying on the floor and all. Slacking when the boss is out eh.. Nice fixerupper job on that GB. Thanks for showing us that there's always a different way to solve a problem.
It's always bad when a repair has to be better than new because of a design flaw. When I saw the bearing, my first thought was that it's awful small compared to the gear it supports.
Really a shame that gearbox isn't built any more robust than that. Hopefully the repair will hold up, but if it does, the customer will want you to fix all of them. Bailey must still be working from home, social distancing and all. As I typed that, you explained where Bailey was at the end of the video.
Sad to see that the company doesn't do a recall on a continuously failing part, it's real bad for their reputation... Curious to see how much longer your upgrade will last. Here in French Province of Quebec, we got a whole vocabulary for a broken bit, tap, etc in a chunk of metal, fuck is only one of those numerous ones... 👹👹👹😎👍
Thanks for the upload Brian, I notice in many other unrelated videos where NH machinery seems fragile compared to their competitors - hi Bailey, stay safe chief!
looks like a great fix Brian! Good job! I wanted to say when that bit exploded I cringed! Same thing happened in our shop where I work. A guy was drilling down through the top of a die section. I happened to be walking back across the shop towards the drill when this thing grenades. I was hit in the forehead and my safety glasses with the shrapnel! Drawing blood of course on my forehead. Keep up the good work Brian! Just thought I would share that with you.
Brian, that's awesome work as always. The one you made has to be at least 100 times stronger to side loads than what was cast in place. I bet you could bolt a steel strap over a new one and it would last better too. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Brian thanks for the video, your's looks like a good fix , now you've beefed that area up it will probably fail somewhere else,lol ,inbuilt redundancy I guess. Hoping your all well and safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
@@bcbloc02 hi Brian, thanks for the reply, time will tell , when we fix something and it leaves the shop it's not often we hear anything about it afterwards, but maybe that's a good thing ,lol. Kind regards, Stuart uk.
Wow, first! Brian, you did not show the cover piece that goes on the front as we look at it, would it have helped to run some dowels parallel to your new bolts that run all the way to the front cover to help support your new insert? Not sure what mower that is off of, we ran two NH411's over tens of thousand of acres and never had a box failure. On another note, I see a few bigger machine shops in the Cincy area are auctioning off, lots of high dollar stuff probably going to be selling for pennies on the dollar, any goodies you have on your wish list? Hay Hud Ohio signing off....
Sweet video great job, NH 1411,1412 disc bine? I've blown three of those hunk of junks, maybe I'll send my next one to you........ Quality work can you post a update on it sometime in the future?
It really is a poor design. I think the farmer has like 12 of these things they have accumulated from the pair of mowers they run. I was like why don't you buy something else? They really like how they cut though and they pull light and easy. They don't like the Deere because it is heavy and pulls hard.
Sad to see a company fall so far from grace, back in the day, NH used to be, top notch for quality. Alas, just like the rest of the Ag industry, they've fallen into "greed over quality". Great repair, hopefully the customer won't have any more issues with it. Cheers :)
Nicely repaired/re-engineered. I don't understand your comment about different axis on this machine versus G&L. Bailey is watching the videos to do his supervisory duties.
Leave it to Baily to take advantge of being legl. LOTS better at the end than the bveginning. You did GOOD! The HBM just sounds bvetter where it is than where it was. Thanks, Pal! GBWYall!
Did you have any difficulty getting the mesh of the bevel gears set properly? Seems like moving the pinion in or out a small amount could wreak havoc. Probably no worse than what they have already been through though wit the shrapnel that was probably flying around.
Well engineering! If that is a gear box for a three disk bat wing mower, no Matter who makes it they all run hot. And beat themselves to death from being out of balance. Each blade disk get damaged as soon as start mowing, all the out balance, transferring to the box, blow it up. Not much can be done. Except like you say make twice the size . Then be too big for the mower deck
A good machinist would have welded it back good as new. Brian makes use of experience and education to make it better than new. I bet Bailey can approve that even from the home office!
Holland's Poor design is a boom for their repair business. NH Exec: We need to keep those service boys busy, design a few expense repairs into the new design!
Really nice re-engineering there, Brian. Always a feel good moment when you can come up with a good solution to a problem. Shame about the drill. Certainly think some chip clearing might have helped too, maybe?
Would graphite grease or similar instead of oil as a lubricant help? I see you have at least one more there to do? Good luck with that job, new bearings I hope? Those gears were worn, maybe just before the box failed though maybe..Thanks for posting, thumbs up.
Hi Brian . I got far more confidence in your modification than the original set up .If only the guys who design these boxes had to fix their 'mistakes ' like you just had too . They would think vastly different .
I agree, a lot of those engineers have their nose too high in the air, when they are not looking down it at you. THEY have that Degree, and are quite offended if you disregard that. If it isn't them, it's the bean counters that insist that you pare down so it can be made cheaper.
@@infoanorexic Or management decides to get rid of the older experienced blokes because they have to pay them more, and they replace them with new graduates who as yet have little experience. Just because you can connect two points with a line in AutoCad, doesn't make it a sound design. You don't learn experience from a text, that takes time and some of the best learning comes from some of the biggest stuff ups.
Another great show Brian . Quite a bit of clamp load with those 7/16" some dowel pins through the box would be good if it has to come apart. Looks like a real money saver over all . was that a carbide drill? ya been a rough week here too . see ya
Seems like an old casting repurposed Maybe a low power 90* box and some bright spark said We can blow a hole in the side, add anouther shaft and triple the input power She'll be good to go Saves on retooling the factory and extra parts income for the dealership
That is the bean counter mentality, and in the long run will put a company out of business. The bean counters don’t care about longevity of a company as they are only interested in the short term profit and will just move on to the next company to take down.
Nice work is. I have always noticed you power feeding dry drilling, no pecking, seemed like a recipe for breakage, but you said something about its because the axis are oposite? Anyway, enjoyed the vid
Nice job Brian. I have never been a new holland fan for this and other reasons. I bet that last a lot longer than the factory design . I know that was a lot more involved than what you recorded. Have a great weekend. Keep Bailey straight and out of trouble. LOL
I think it was an h7330. I believe they use this same box on several models. I get a call almost once a month from somebody somewhere in the us with one torn up asking about fixing it. Farmers like how these units cut but the machine is a money pit. I would not own one.
We all have those BOZO moments they make life interesting!! Now that case will last forever they are going too want that upgrade on all their old broken cases LOL !!!!
It would probably take parts from all those boxes to get one pieced together. It took 4 boxes to find enough good shafts and gears to piece this one together. Usually the gears get heat damaged from running out of oil when the bottom breaks. The customer found the supports were worn for the cutterbar letting it move around more than it should and side loading the shaft making the bearings fail. Definitely check all that out too. I don't remember exactly what this repair was but I think it was between $1000 and $1500.
little tip for the next one.....scribe and bandsaw most of that steel away from the new piece you made to cut down on mill time. nice camera placement for the money shots
No I hit the rapids up instead of down because I was used to the G&L controls which are reversed. Lack of thinking on my part. You can't shove a drill bit thru an inch of steel.
It exploded because he moved the table up, when he was supposed to go in the opposite direction, thus crushing the drill. Even if the part was welded to the vice, the drill would not be able to withstand those forces.
interesting, and breaking after only around 2,000 hrs. (but did last longer than your drill:-)). Where is New Holland equipment made these days? Can't tell by looking at the parent CNH Industrial. Nice work but a lot of work.
@@paulcopeland9035 yikes , not sure of the crop but 2,000 acres should only be around 2 months work. I still can't figure out where it is made or designed.
Hard to believe engineers who make so much more money then we do could make such a blunder. Would be you brian that someone was getting even with the boss. Just a thought. Well done fella too. Stay virus safe also.
Just curious, you use the DRO for hole layouts or did you do it manually? That box does look small for oil cooling, not a lot of outside surface area to disperse the heat out to. Nice job Brian!
I enjoy reengineering thing's the so called college taught engineers built. Nothin makes the job more enjoyable then proving your smarter then they think they are. I always iver build items for strength over saving 5 bucks in materials. Great job others will be sending you more to do. Thanks Brian
Hallo Brian. The drill would never have broken off if you had pulled out the several times and added oil. As a mechanic, you actually know that. (Translate Google) Best Regarts
That is not true. The bit broke because I accidentley tried to rapid feed it thru the part by grabbing the wrong lever. There was no chip packing or heating issue. You can't push a drill bit thru steel at an inch/second.
Cool video Brian. It is fun and a challenge to re-engineer things. I have a Colchester lathe, the same one as Kieth Fenner, and I am re-engineering the power feeds in the apron. Quite a challenge but it is going to be great when finished. Check out my videos of my progress.

When drilling on the HBM the cutter moves to the part on the Cincinnati the part moves to the cutter so it is backwards.

Yes getting the proper depth figured out was challenging and required assembly a few times to check it.
Drill three holes in the back of the bearing hole to be able to put a punch in the hole and drive out the bearing race?
