Something I learned polishing handles on my Clausing 8520... I finish polishing with Mother's mag wheel polish, give them a coat of carnauba car wax, and buff with a soft cloth. I found it preserves the shine a lot longer and reduces the opportunity for new rust to form. Great video, BTW!
My wife asked me why do i smile after completing a job.. i told her i dont always smile i only smile after i complete a job that i had to go out of my comfort zone and the result was way better then i expected.... it is the feeling you get when things just fit so well
Great result Keith . The bearing fits regardless of end float or preload can be a bit tricky if you do not do them all the time . I have done hundreds of them in Cat trans applications & steel shafts in cast housings of similar size to yours usually run 2 to 5 thou end play in the majority of cases . Being that a lathe headstock runs a heck of a lot cooler , i would be setting them closer to 2 thou max end float . It will be interesting to see what you come up with . Cheers 👍
Another lovely job Keith. The bearings for the headstock of my new to me lathe arrive tomorrow. I'm thinking that I will start the overhaul this weekend, try filming it and upload it to TH-cam. Can only give it a go.
Almost (a.l.m.o.s.t...) makes me wish I was back in shop rebuilding transmissions again like I did before I retired. NOT!!!! 🤣 I actually do miss working sometimes, but I sure don't miss the rat race. It's nice to be able to watch someone who cares as much as you do about the quality of your work. That is a trait that seems to have gone extinct in the past couple of generations. Most don't take any pride in their work anymore. The paycheck is all that matters to them. Good on you Keith.
I say the shim bearing preload .003 to .007 on your shaft bearing just a guess after rebuilding Twjn Disc transmissions pull the cap and add or subtract shims. I’m looking forward to see where you set them at? If I’m close
great progress , I too like to replace with new fasteners, I purchase hardware from bolt depot in Hingham MA. They have everything in small quantities quick delivery
Timestamp 28:18. If you had an actual repair manual, it would probably give you a rolling torque to set the bearing preload to. I say this based on my experience rebuilding heavy machinery transmissions. It would give a spec in pounds of force required to turn the shaft. It was a rolling torque, not the force it took to initiate the rotation. We used a string wrapped around the shaft and pulled it with a scale similar to a fish scale. We would read the scale as the shaft was rotating. You may be familiar with this, but some in the comments may not be. I just thought I might throw it out there in case someone was interested in preloading bearings.
Precision, thoroughness and patience. You have those traits in abundance, Keith. Not to mention your skill. I'm sure this build will be as good as new, if not a little better. During the hectic days of WWII I'm sure things got a little rushed.
Really great video Kieth ! how many notes do you have to take to remember the way all them gears go back together lol! It would be like a maze at this point and years in my life You have it going on Thanks
Not too late to electroplate nickel on those controls. not a difficult or expensive thing to do in your shop, make some nickel acetate with nickel strips and vinegar, just need a decent DC power supply with about 2-5 amps at 12-15 volts, can go down to 5 volts if needed but will take a lot longer.
One of the elements which I think is important is the dog engagement. I think that dictates the location of the gears, as you want max engagement. What do you think???
Might be wrong, caught a quick glimpse and looked like the dogs are undercut to give solid engagement to prevent reverse thrust when under load, nice feature.
In your job experience’s, you said you worked on ships at North Island, I spent (3) years on USS Ticonderoga home ported there. Did you ever work on that one. I was on it from Nov 1966 to Oct 1969!
25:15 Fenner chuckles. Sounds like Popeye. Must be his years working in the shipyards. All he needs to complete the package is a pipe and an anchor tattoo on his forearm.
So glad the Monarch found a good home where it could get a good restoration that will have it back ready for another 80 years of service. 🙂
I hope so too!
So good to see the love put into an old monarch..... and damn that shaft looks smooth running

Pearl gets better looking every day thanks to you Keith.........Beautiful.......PB

Very nice work sir
the rhythm of machines is soothing for instance that surface grinder, soothing like a gentle rain on a tin roof
Good video Keith
this is so satisfying to watch, thanks and greetings from the NJ Bayshore
Beautiful! Love watching this machine go back together. Thanks!
Great job Keith!

I love all the calipers, micrometers and indicators - but in the end it all boils down to how it feels to the human hand.
Looks like a motorcycle gearbox. No need for oil. Fill the box when your finished. 30 year motorcycle tech.

It feels good to take the time to do a really good job.
fantastic - been such a cool journey - looking forward the assembly work
The devil is in the details. Love the attention to the details here. Thanks for sharing.
amazing job Keith!

Keith, PLEASE put Lisa singing back on , I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I put her on, I have to share the monitization, even "god bless america" is not free!
great progress , I too like to replace with new fasteners, I purchase hardware from bolt depot in Hingham MA. They have everything in small quantities quick delivery
Good quality & skill plus video Keith {fletch from the UK]
Keith happy with his shaft. Kinda proud of mine also. 😂
Keith, you are a MASTER at polishing your KNOBS !!! LOL

Exactly! There is no information on that subject in manual, so I'll be giving it my own judgment.
Very nice Keith
Nice work
Nice work!
Olá amigo Keith estava ansioso por esta montagem, sensacional!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!

beautiful job Keith
Great work fine Craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
CONGRATS ❤
Really interesting project Keith. Thanks for posting.

One of the elements which I think is important is the dog engagement. I think that dictates the location of the gears, as you want max engagement. What do you think???
Gears have a fixed location, and the sliding cog has to be set to maximize the contact or engagement.
Might be wrong, caught a quick glimpse and looked like the dogs are undercut to give solid engagement to prevent reverse thrust when under load, nice feature.
What an awesome, educational, enjoyable video. Full of precision and satisfaction. 10/10 Keith. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.

Its cool that you can make you own parts. I did cringe up a bit seeing the kitchen towel in the shop.
In your job experience’s, you said you worked on ships at North Island, I spent (3) years on USS Ticonderoga home ported there. Did you ever work on that one. I was on it from Nov 1966 to Oct 1969!
I think Keith would have been about 9 to 11 years old back then.....
I started my career in shipyards in 1975.

It's a milestone in the competition of Pearl. Getter done. How much would it cost to make that shaft for a customer?
All the gears and design work was done without the help of computer aided design??
CAD.....Cardboard Aided Design
first lol
