It's Amazing the repairs these Men Do!
Thanks
Weld on a stub axle. One weld and done. Use a piece of angle for a jig. You are putting a lot of heat into a surface a bearing will ride.
There is nothing wrong with this job. It's done every day in the US. I would have ground everything down to clean metal. Eliminate the old threads altogether. Your job will work fine.😊
Yes thanks. Man
I love to watch these guys fix all kinds of things we would throw away and get a new one but they save people a lot of money making the old like new again and they do it with just the few tools they have and they are to be admired for their efforts to complete the job no matter how hard or complex it is. GOOD JOB GUYS~!!!
Thank brother
In the Navy this is what we did most days, made something out of nothing. I was on an old 1 of 1 ship with 0 spare parts so we made it all. I miss those times in the old machine shop on Long Beach (CGN-9)
Yes. You used to be work on the machine. So did well in your skill. Thank
Good job. Those that say why not get a new one. Maybe in there country it easier/cheaper. Have no concept that some countries labour is cheaper and fixing something outweighs replacement. Plus from experience I can say that finding a replacement is very hard sometimes in some countries. Having the infustructure to have retail stores with what you need and within easy reach is just not realistic. Plus doesn’t matter where this is done. He’s doing what CUSTOMER has told him to do.
Yes it hard to find and high cost for replacing a new shaft
The bent welding stick and safety flip flops give it away…. But kidding aside, obsolete parts or down time,this would be a repair I’d do if I had a lathe that big.
Yes thank brother
Hmm, better to machine it down and machine a new sleave and press it on. Much better than this lash up.
Yes
But then we have no drama
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
Soon as I saw the chipping hammer I knew where this was and what quality it was going to be.
Yes you can quest it. How the quality we expected
Nicely done!
Thanks for the visit
Never weld in a machine, especially when you ust the machine as a ground, the ground is going thru the head bearings, you screw those up your machine is junk.
We weld on the machine for some part and the machine was old
how can iy be faster than replacing if you already have it off the trailer?
It is low cost and faster than making a new shaft
Abom79 would've spray welded it, bit of a specialist job though. Wouldn't it have been less hassle to cut the end off, turn down a stub thread it, deep chamfer and then screw a new piece of bar stock on also chamfered, weld it on and then do the machining?
Yes brother
@@KSMechanicalEngineering Good job though, gets it back on the road.
@@RichardSmith-wr6go yes thanks
good job but quit using that 7024 and go with 7018 the fluks on 7024 is to watery,7018 will give a better weld......
Yes thank
Yea i perfer 7018 ..i was not sure what rod they used . Nice job though
@@jimkillen1065 thanks
good work sir.
Yes thank
Cut shaft off and just weld a 1/2" square plate with four holes to match a bolt oñ hub assembly with correct bolt circle to match rim. Or rear axle from a front drive mini van
Ahh. Just where do you get a 100 year old engine lathe to do this on? The cost of replacement spindles in this country are cheaper. Even a new axel is cheap. This may be good for India, Pakistan or Afghanistan. Not sure all the heating and cooling is all that good for the metal hardness and structure. Definitely changes it's makeup. But probably doesn't matter for a donkey cart.
Yes. This shaft for 2wheel tractor. We can be call a cart.
7018 3/32 roll axle weld around keeps shaft straight.
Yes thanks
You should put a radius behind the bearing fit.
Yes. Thanks
That would be an option if I owned a lathe but I don't. I can do the build-up but then taking it to a machine shop would be costly and time consuming. Much cheaper and faster to just buy a new axle. An axle like that is only a couple hundred dollars and you'd spend that at the machine shop. Most of us don't own lathes especially that big.i have done just that with a spiņle on an antique tractor I restored but an axle like that wouldn't be worth it unless I owned a lathe and knew how to use it.
Yes of course we need a new axle.but customer want to repair this
Not a bad repair I done this method on numerous occasions, but I build up using mig than less chance of an inclusion.
Yes
Yeah but mig requires argon and it may not be available 😊
welding on a shaft break whole shaft..it hardens
It hardens. But we can machine it
@@KSMechanicalEngineering weld it again after it snaps the axle off under load a someone ends up like mole's asses ? No not for me thank you.
@@danthurman9076 yes
Why not cut the axle in half and machine the profile on both the cut ends, then weld the other ends together?
I think if we do that we need more time to repair
Dude of course you can fix it if you own a large lathe, I own two lathes but heavy 10 , I sold a 8 foot south end , know One is going to be able to fix, there axle with out one.
Yes
i like the stick for that
Thanks
good ideas❤❤❤
Thanks
Cool to watch if you can't get stubs
Yes
The only thing that was saved was the cost of a new steel bar !
The labour cost plus electrode Welding rods, and electricity is possibly equal to the cost of the steel bar and the machine time is the same .. Total waste of time !!!
It is about 60-80$ for new steel bar cost at my region and machining cost is due to the work shop
How much did he charg?
@@six4standingtall about 60$ for welding and machining
Sometimes it's not feasible to get new parts. I'm doing something similar right now with an old boat part that you cannot buy. I'm also inclined to put in a lot of labor into things just to use the old part and maybe give it character.
@@spyder2383ok
Well done but bearing slides on so easy. You will need loctite to fit it.
Yes Thanks
Never weld round stock this way
Yes of course we need to machine a new one but we hard to find the steel bar and high cost for material
Listen on process...
Yes
does anybody else notice this guy wearing flip flops or just me
Yeah i did not wear the safety shoes. Thank man
Welding the stub axle creates alot of stresses. Not a good idea.
Yes but we have no choice
I would have just turned it out and heat shunk a tube over it...
Yes
And how is that faster than replacing?
Low cost
weld er up
Yeah
Muy bueno pero falto más ajuste en la rosca
Yes thanks
Sure not faster then replacing it
Yeah. Thank. It is not faster than. And we can find the shaft supplier from market.

I know a better way,...just wrap a old pop can around it ,....done!
Yes
If thay maintained there gear it woudnt have to be fixed or replaced 😂😂😂😂
Yes brother
@KSMechanicalEngineering some of these things thay repair have not been used for years gear box repairs not a sign of oil axle rusty and the spline hasn't been in contact with the diff for year just rubbish laying around there just done to make a show you never see the vehicle going with repaired part👍
@@garrypritchard1658 yes
Knurl it or sleeve it ,make new nuts.
Yes
If you're hoping adding the tag "@Abom79" to your description will suddenly improve your channel views, sorry bud, but your skills didn't miraculously improve by doing so.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Absolutely terrile job.
Yes brother
@@pbysome Yes some guys just gotta be Down Debbies~!!
See this is whats wrong ....those people are buying up e erything.. and do shit work
