Flats on shaft end are for us maintenance technicians to place a wrench to turn the shaft. Unlike the wrench turning gorillas that use pipe wrench on the shaft itself. That always made disassembly of equipment that much more fun.
He’s one good little helper you got there! Teach him all you know you’re one very skilled man and this country needs guys like you and your boy-good looking jeep too!
Watching the young boy welding with his Dad brought back fond memories of working with my Son many years ago. That experience will stay with him for life. Well done job there, it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. Great video. 😀😀👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Awesome. Teach our children the skills they need to survive in this world. Well Done dad. Like father like son. Love to see it. Good JOB young man way to stand in there and get er done.
Any man can be a “father”…but a DAD…will take the time out of his day to put the stinger in his boy’s hands just to see that smile…on BOTH their faces! Thanks Dad!
I dont if they could even get access to it - but that register on the end might be so they can put a big spanner on it and manually turn the drum backwards if something gets stuck. I was also hoping you put the shaft in the right way around, as the drum probably has to turn in one direction :)
In industrial machinery, shaft sizes run on the 16ths, motors and gearboxes run on the 8ths or 1", 1 1/2", 2" etc. most of the time, but there is always that one guy that has to be different.
Dad showing his son how to do a skill in this case welding a shaft to a drum. I remember my father showing me how to do something and then letting me try it. This is how our world worked in the past. Glad to see it happening again. Another great video!
Maybe a future investment in a 'Spray metal torch' could be considered? that way you can rebuild the diameter of the worn shaft, rather than replacing the entire shaft. You'd probably need a bigger lathe though to turn the diameter back to 1 and 15/16ths. But it could be an option for repairing some shafts with the lathe you have?
You and your son are lucky to have each other. I also try to teach my boy every thing that I know, although I haven’t brought him to my shop yet to work because we have tons of brake dust airborne most of the time but I love seeing how you teach your kid. Happy father’s day brotha
Enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for all your hard work to make this content for us. We’re lucky to have folks out there setting the bar so high. Many of aspire to have your skills.
Good tip, dimple the shaft with a drill bit where the grub screws lock onto. In my experience stops them coming loose. Cheers Greg, newish sub just binge watching your videos. I fit roller doors here in UK and the dimple method works for us.
Parenting done right! Teach him a trade and that it's ok to get your hands dirty. Poor maintenance kills more equipment than anything. Stay safe and God bless
Good on you bud! There's gonna be a day he'll look back and be happy to share a good memory. I always like to see stuff like that because I never had that and I wish I did. Anyway hopefully you will have many more of good memories.
There are two schools of thought on equipment maintenance, run it till it fails then fix it, or fix it before it fails. I’ve worked in places that had both and there are good reasons for both methodologies. Preventive maintenance where you’re changing out a lot of parts prior to failure is what airlines do and it’s very expensive. Whereas with a can crusher no one’s life is on the line when the machine goes down and you have a one off cost for the failure. Horses for courses.
I did a can shredder years ago. And hard coat. Nice job! I retired in 2019 after 46 years. I did keep 1 welding truck. And I tinker in my shop here on and off. Keep up the good work! And videos! I watch them all the time. It’s gets on your blood it does fixing. And I’m still learning watching you young guys! Kent Smith Welding
I believe the flats are for when it gets over loaded or something in it not aluminum so u can spin it backwards with a wrench to free it up and remove the blockage
Look for the Hypertherm "HyAccess" attachments. They're great for getting into tight places with your torch tip. More precise, too. Baker's Gas sells the kits.
My dad was a dentist and one can imagine the reaction of an extraction patient if told "Hang on a moment, my seven year old son will remove that tooth. He's learning fast so don't worry, I'll be guiding his forceps hand while he does it."
unbelievable that owner of that machine dont even clean the surroundings from all that garbage, and you have to crawl through that junk... I would be so ashamed to ask service in such conditions
A lot of companies saw reducing Mntc as an immediate/instant savings in operating costs including being able to layoff/fire/early retirement offerings to senior high earning Mntc & engineering employees/workforce reduction programs because retirement pay money came out of a different pot/fund. Often they did not understand that it often meant more likely/more frequent unplanned downtime(loss of production & income) more expensive and longer down times as spare parts were sold off and no longer immediately available in reducing their warehouse inventory and taxes on that inventory and more expensive Mntc like having to hire a knowledgeable contractor to come in and work on it because the equipment experts took the early out/retirement packages. Even electric utilities went through it. A lot suffered worse impact than expected because there was not as wide of an overlap in reviews by really knowledgeable personnel like different departments(operations, Mntc, chemistry, engineering) including how near the equipment was to the end of its reliable performance and feasible Mntc/rebuild expectations and benefits to the plant to allow some things to run to failure and perform an equipment upgrade during a planned shutdown when materials and workers would already be onsite but surprises still happened when bean counters over rode the decision of the people most familiar with the equipment and it’s impact on plant operations and turn around time like Mntc and operations and the bean counter’s(financial fellas/gals) decision was often seen as more important.
A decent welder can get metal to stick together. A good welder can make a beautiful bead. I don't know what to call a welder who can create a beautiful bead holding the nozzle while someone else holds the trigger. Well done getting him familiar with this equipment young.
I think the 1 15/16" shafting is common for Turned ,Ground and Polished 1045 shafting , thinking they start with 2" and TGP it.....a few years ago, I bought 2 sticks each [20'] of 1 15/16, 2. 15/16m and 3 15/16 , at a scrap yard, beautiful material.....was wondering why it was a .062 smaller.....I was learning to use a lathe and wanted some material.....made all types of stuff from that material.....the 3 15/16 was 42 lbs a foot.....good thing my buddy had a 2 ton flat bed to help me get it home......let me know if this makes sense.....Paul
This reminds me of our Ransomes mower. The shafts for the blades have 1" diameter where the belt wheels are sitting, but the rest where the bearings are have metric 25mm.
What some people need 2 realize is that sometimes it's cheaper to replace the rod or part rather than welding it up it costs time which drives up the cost etc
I would of put the bearings on then chalk them up on stands,then you COULD spin it to make sure it is centered. I seen you have used a gauge on repairing pins on buckets.
In the conveyors at the quarry I used to work at we had 1 15/16 and 2 15/16 shafts on quite a few drive drums and tail pulleys. It does seem like an odd size
You're correct you could have done better with a fuel /gas torch! That plasma torch cut like a beaver with one bad tooth !! I'll bet an air arc gouger would have worked better on that shaft also.
😎👍😎 Hopefully..none of Them..will figure out that equipment needs constant attension..oil,grease,tighten this up... Otherwise..most of us would be out of a job..🥺😉😄
Asking a question for a friend , how did you center the new shaft in the drum? Would like to have seen it run to see if it’s in tolerance or wobbles like a chicken with its head chopped off. Probably good enough for half of the cans. Great videos and job watching for more.
I measured from the shaft to the outside of the drum in multiple spots and got the same measurement. It seems to run very smooth. I would have shown that but the machines saftey features won’t allow it.
Nothing better than having your little guy helping you. He will remember those days forever. Good for you!
Genuinely thought he was going to build it up with weld and then cut back with a lathe. New stock was a surprise to me.
Lol not sure why he didn’t. But I guess getting a simple shaft and some mill work, is way cheaper than his actual man hours.
A lot less work
Flats on shaft end are for us maintenance technicians to place a wrench to turn the shaft. Unlike the wrench turning gorillas that use pipe wrench on the shaft itself. That always made disassembly of equipment that much more fun.
The flats are also with a spanner turn the drum in reverse to unblock it if need be I believe.
He’s one good little helper you got there! Teach him all you know you’re one very skilled man and this country needs guys like you and your boy-good looking jeep too!
I did the same with my boy years ago. i can't see well enough to weld now. He's got my back, and is better than I ever was.
Loved that. Man teaching his son is a life lesson he will always remember.
Watching the young boy welding with his Dad brought back fond memories of working with my Son many years ago. That experience will stay with him for life. Well done job there, it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. Great video. 😀😀👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
there is an old saying, "Get them young , treat them rough , and they will never leave you " or teach them young and they will follow
Awesome. Teach our children the skills they need to survive in this world. Well Done dad. Like father like son. Love to see it. Good JOB young man way to stand in there and get er done.
Good repair nice to see you with your son someone to inherit your tools
Greg: it is Greg right? just what I needed on this Friday afternoon......best wishes from Florida, Paul......
Yes it’s Greg. Thank you.
@@OFW Greg, you have a fine looking son there.....getting some good education with Dad....best wishes, Paul
so kool to see you showing your Son how to weld and letting him work on that piece.......he is one Lucky Lad and you Sir, are one Lucky Dad........
Good to see the young-man getting into the project. This is what we need more of in this world. Good job!
Any man can be a “father”…but a DAD…will take the time out of his day to put the stinger in his boy’s hands just to see that smile…on BOTH their faces!
Thanks Dad!
Great Greg to see the little guy welding priceless sir 💯👍🏻🫵🏻
Welding with the kid! Absolutely brilliant!

Has always, a very interesting and informative video. You've shown once again that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Kind of seems like that thing should be balanced again after your repair.
That’s probably not a bad idea.
@@OFW I love your work, thanks for sharing it with us on TH-cam. I hope you get a ton of subs.
great work, good to get your kids started learning . grandpa thought me . still going .. keep the can rolling , enjoyed
All I could think about was how pissed his mom was going to be when she saw the quarter inch burn mark on his foot, I think you dodged a bullet there.

Wish they had kid size helmets or even goggles when I were a lad... but hey Dad tried! rip Pop, bless.
That little guy was welding! The helmet is almost as big as him lol! What a confidence booster. Great filming
One black cape and you're half way to Darth Helmut too 😄

Ha I just checked yesterday to see if I missed any vids. Glad ur still here as I'm a new sub

I admire your skill as well as your ability to approach these situations calmly! Also as a electrician I appreciated the use of Mule Tape!

I believe the shaft is 50mm or 1 15/16” Imperial. Might be why the manufacturer didn’t make it an even 2”.
Nice Buick !!! I had a '67 Gold Black Top ,,,

I believe the flats are for when it gets over loaded or something in it not aluminum so u can spin it backwards with a wrench to free it up and remove the blockage
That has to be exactly perfectly centered ! Spray metal powder. Then machine it to size.
“Little lube never hurt” 😂😂😂
The flats on the shaft, if the drum jams, it can be rotated without leaving pipe wrench marks on the shaft.
Look for the Hypertherm "HyAccess" attachments. They're great for getting into tight places with your torch tip. More precise, too. Baker's Gas sells the kits.
I have some of those. They work great.

I love that boy learning at such a young age! Did ya take him for a ride in the Jeep?
Sometimes I wish youtube had smell-o-vision, sometimes I'm glad it doesn't.
Nothing pisses me off more than when people neglect equipment it's doing most of the work for you already take care of it dammit
I know it's too late but-----Could you have mounted the whole thing in a lathe, built up the shaft, and turned it to size?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Burn baby Burn! Gettin that sucker balanced is gonna be fun.
You know the little dudes dad is welder when the little dude can weld with sparks flying and he’s wearing shorts and short sleeves🤩🤩🤩

Put some of that cat yellow on ends..
Nice touch, plus good for safety sake..
Never spray aerosol lubricant WD-40 into the paper slot of a running paper shredder. An explosion and fire may occur. It did for me.
Including your son is awesome!
At first I thought this was a wood chipper and the company just didn’t put a camera in an enclosed room….
What some people need 2 realize is that sometimes it's cheaper to replace the rod or part rather than welding it up it costs time which drives up the cost etc
If the parts were available some of the things I fix would just get replaced.
I would of put the bearings on then chalk them up on stands,then you COULD spin it to make sure it is centered. I seen you have used a gauge on repairing pins on buckets.
Nice job sir
In the conveyors at the quarry I used to work at we had 1 15/16 and 2 15/16 shafts on quite a few drive drums and tail pulleys. It does seem like an odd size
Power locks would be nice on this
You're correct you could have done better with a fuel /gas torch! That plasma torch cut like a beaver with one bad tooth !! I'll bet an air arc gouger would have worked better on that shaft also.

Hopefully..none of Them..will figure out that equipment needs constant attension..oil,grease,tighten this up...
Otherwise..most of us would be out of a job..🥺😉😄
That’s how you’re son learns how to weld
Didn't know they made a shield for a plasma cutter that would save me some gloves when gouging i got one old stiff one i use just for that lol
That shaft is on the small side for what it does.
Cool heat shield for your plasma torch.
Asking a question for a friend , how did you center the new shaft in the drum? Would like to have seen it run to see if it’s in tolerance or wobbles like a chicken with its head chopped off. Probably good enough for half of the cans. Great videos and job watching for more.

Love you including your son!
is the new shaft expensive? cut the shaft in half and put the good ends out and weld it back together
I remember me that age my dad teach me how to weld the first time
11:39 that's what she said.
Nive work, as good- or better-looking welds than the factory, maybe you are a robot👍
Nothing like makin" memories with your son!
I love it ❤
I sincerely hope you charge a premium for your services!
I’m not a welder, just trying to learn….would this be considered gouging out the weld?👍
Yes. Plasma gouging
Great job
Watching your son run a bead 😁 $$$
I'm curious if that needed to be balanced? I saw what looked like some weights.
I was thinking it would need to be balanced but everything ran smoothly.
Happy Father's Day 😊
Nice job!
Seems kinda silly that a can crusher drum has balance weights on it. Love the safety sandals.
You would need a big lathe to do that properly
Are the flats at the end used with a wrench to unstick the drum if it seizes?
I’m really not sure
i wish you would use a digital camera so we can watch in full screen i enjoy your video's but would enjoy more in full screen.
Do you have a particular camera you suggest?
@@OFW not really anyone
whatever you can afford it just looks better onscreen.
@@davidfarrell7318 okay, I was thinking about getting something different. I’ll see what I can come up with.
It’s not the camera, it’s the ratio it’s uploaded in
1-15/16ths....If that were an even number in metric... but no, nothing good there either. smh
Did you grease the bearings lol
Yes. Lol
What a piece of junk for a machine.
Could you weld it up like the tabs on the bucket on the line bore video? Then turn it down to nominal size.
Wow, this place is trashy. They couldn't even clean up the cans for you to work in a decent environment?
Where you find that shield dorf the plasma
I believe I got it at IOC welding. Online
Thanks
Cause it comes from the land of chopsticks and that's 50mm
Why not weld and then l a the it back to size.
Because I have no way to hold it steady in my lathe. Also after I got the shaft out it appeared to be bent as well.
