its obvious you and your neighbour get on well, if he had the labour bill for that job he would have to sit down, you can see why the manufacturer dont want them back when they are fkd. i hope he appreciated all the work you put into it
Not sure why your videos make me smile. I have no connection to the machining world. I think I am attracted to good people. Thank you for the happiness you put in my world.
Perfect repair job Matty. It's kept the mower back on the grass. I can understand you not wanting to re-bush the pully. Although no-one will see it, you have a pride in your work. Cheers Nobby
Nice repair.. and full credit to the manufacturer for their complete replacement! That's a rare bit of customer service nowadays ... Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Hi, Matty: Thanks for showing us how. Whenever you see a part like that pulley, you just imagine what took place at the mower company: Designer: "Right, let's put a nylon pulley there instead of a pot metal one...that will save cost." Sales Manager: "Have you seen how much money we've lost this year on replacement lawn mowers? All because of a $20 part." You definitely saved that lad a backup lawn mower. Great to hear your DRO is on the way and looking forward to seeing that in action. Be well and see you next week. Cheers, mate.
Gday, I really cant understand why they use plastic components especially in the situation, the amount that would have failed would surely convince the manufacturers to rethink the part, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Hey Matty. Another great video, thanks! Mate, do us/yourself a favour please - when you are tugging at something to get it out of the chuck end, move or cover the cutting tool or anything in the tailstock in case you back-hand it when the object comes free. I have seen two nasty accidents, including one machinist I had to take to hospital because he had driven a small boring bar right through his hand, from just this. Look after yourself mate. Keep up the good videos please.
Nice repair Matty. There needs to be more repairing in the world and less throwing away and buying new. You attribute to that all the time. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Matty, nice fixup job. Also like the green grass in your backyard, looks like you live by a golf course. Also the Kangaroos or Wallabies in the background, nice area you live in. Regards from Switzerland, -Robert 👍💪✌
Gday Matty nice fix for the mower, simple little pulley build, that'll probably be better than new now, isn't it always good when the reward out weighs the cost and effort ten fold 👍👍
That was perfect timing for me, very relaxing watching you do that after sitting behind the wheel for 8 1/2 hours today coming back from up north, (less traffic coming home and it was 2 hours quicker), turned on the computer, opened TH-cam and Bingo, there you were, a nice outcome in the end. 👍
Hello Matty, A good job, well done. I like how you made the tapers with the parting tool... I have a pulley to make and will follow that approach... Good mod getting rid of the spring tensioner. Take care. Paul,,
Just got home from seeing my youngest grandson Ethan and with a post from Matty waiting, awesome day. Glad that the job went well, you have a beautiful garden. Take care and see you next week, regards to you and family. Thanks for posting 👍
Ahh... reminds me of the days when I did lawnmowing. Good fix Matty. I wish I could look at a bunch of dirty parts, then 'nek minit' they are all clean. I use to use petrol to clean parts, but now I use kerosene or diesel. You don't want to inadvertently cause a spark when cleaning with petrol. You can throw a match into diesel and it will just go out so that is a lot safer.
Ah memories......Had to make a pulley for an old ride on I had...made it out of alloy...but I don't have a lathe or mill.....what I have tho is a drill press and a die grinder...and at the time...I had patience and a few hours spare.....got it done and worked way better than the plastic one that detonated...
Gday, sounds like a big job to make a pulley without a lathe or mill but this shows that with a couple of simple tools anything is possible, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Bus mans holiday for me watching this one Matty. You are on my day job Turf , (no pun intended but it works) . the plastic pulleys are appalling on mowers and they always melt out from the belt when they jam up . most are made from cast aluminium and seem to last ok , that steel one will be everlasting . Another issue can be the hardness of the dog gears . newbies try to use the drive lever like a friction clutch and wear the teeth out . the fixed bracket will be fine , some use a spring but your method is the better . damn, I have my work hat on . Stopped now mate . Thanks for sharing , Cheers Ade.
Plastics technology has come a long way but there are components that it should not be used for. Plastic gears and pulleys are fine in a child’s toy but not in a case such as this. I’m guessing that the cost savings on making this pulley from plastic vs cast aluminum is very small and to me doesn’t make sense.
Nice job. Your tolerances are far better than the mower companies. The new pulley will outlast the mower now. I do like the view of your part of the world. Nice to see grass again. About 1/2 way through spring here & still have winter cleanup to do. Thanks for sharing.
That mower looks to be made right many that IVE worked ad repaired are very cheaply made .after over fifty years of mower and Wall engine repairs IVE seen a total decline in equipment strength and quality to the point of use the machine for a year and throw it away.. The mower your working on looks to be very well made . thanks for the video.
Ahh, funny this... I`ve just been making a very similar solution myself not two months ago... I haven`t posted the video, as i still haven`t finished the project, it`s still chucked up in the lathe, waiting for me to remember if i finished the shaft bore... The pulley turned out great, as did yours, and i actually set the angle by eye... I mean, come on, it`s a single V belt pulley for a mower... The main element here is the soft belt, and being half a degree or one whole off - makes little difference to the belt... The tensioner will snug it up, squish it into the groove and it will work just great even with a small error... Now, if we were talking lathe pulleys and such, sure, precision is in order, but a pulley that sees dust, grit, earth, small bits of rock and grass being churned by the belt can be tankful for your choice of material and silent on all other matters... Interesting to see that you had a similar issue in no more than a month down the line... Also makes me kinda feel stupid for not actually finishing it and posting the video, as if i do now, it will look like an unoriginal idea... Tho, my piece is quite different, being the main shaft pulley, rather than being a gearbox shaft pulley... But i should remake that one too... Briggs really did some engineering sins with that mower... ``A honda engine, a shit mower - i don`t give a damn`` was the official approach it would appear...
Another great vid Matty. What fun would life if everything was a win? (that's what my wife tells me when I mess up something in the shop and get mad. 🤣)
Hi Matty, beautiful photo of Eden Wharf. Great job on the pulley - why they are made out of plastic in the first place is beyond me? Are those kangaroos in your yard pets or just visitors? Regards, Dave
Gday, It was a beautiful evening at the wharf, the roos are there all the time, quite often theres 50+ just laying around , Thanks for watching, Cheers
G'day Matty, another job well done my mate, no worries on the bozo, I made something 3 times last wekk 😂 hope your all keeping well, best wishes to you and yours
Gday, I had a ton of emails come through, If you like canyon send it again please, that way I know I definitely got it mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
G'day Matty! Nice job mate, that pulley is ten times better than the plastic shit original. I know these things are made to a price And are designed to fail just outside the warranty period but fuck me that is a piece of shit deign, well not in the manufacturers eyes,but the customers certainly. The end float you showed I think does not matter, because it only runs one way and the design of the drive gears push the shaft towards one side only when driving. If there were a reverse, then they would have to address the end float somehow. Anyway your mate has a his and hers set of mowers now lol. Cheers Matty! Sam from England
Matt, hey why didn't you just bore out the hole and sleeve it?? You could've done to large hoe plugged it , welded it then re drilled the hole. Its only a daggy motor pulley drive. Or am I over thinking again.
Think about the standards Matty applies to his work. Notice he even polished the outside faces of the soon to be "dirty old pulley". So do you think Matty would have been satisfied with "just" a weld up and re-bore, or otherwise a re-sleeve?
Gday, Yes I could have repaired the first one but I know its not what I wanted, I'd rather take the time to make it right from the start, Thanks for watching, Cheers

I have seen two nasty accidents, including one machinist I had to take to hospital because he had driven a small boring bar right through his hand, from just this. Look after yourself mate.

I thought the same that could end up really badly too. Hope the machinist is back healthy again and will use more precaution from that day on.
Thanks for watching mate
Great job Matty. Hope you are feely well. Thanks for sharing.
Gday, I’m feeling ok thanks mate, cheers
Great stuff, Matty! Sure nice to have a nice shop to be able to redo things to better than original condition! Thanks for your time and sharing! 👍😎✌️
Nice repair Matty. There needs to be more repairing in the world and less throwing away and buying new. You attribute to that all the time.
Thanks for sharing.
Gday, I rather spend time fixing something then seeing it get thrown away, Thanks for watching, cheers
Hi Matty 🙂. Another job well done and a bonus grass mower too. Really enjoying your videos. Greetings from Amsterdam 👍🇳🇱
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Great rebuild there Matty. Probably better than new.
Steve.
Certainly a little better then the plastic pulley mate, Appreciate you watching, cheers
G'day Matty. What a ripper job for the lawn mower. Nice setting up & machining. Even the lawnmower sounds spot on. Well done
Thanks Ted, Appreciate you watching. Cheers
Hi Matty, nice fixup job. Also like the green grass in your backyard, looks like you live by a golf course. Also the Kangaroos or Wallabies in the background, nice area you live in.

great recovery Job Matty

Kev (UK)
Thanks Kev, should be right for a good while I hope mate, Cheers
Gday Matty nice fix for the mower, simple little pulley build, that'll probably be better than new now, isn't it always good when the reward out weighs the cost and effort ten fold 👍👍
Gday, It was a simple build but rewarding to see it going again, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nice job Matty ! These days everyone just throws the whole mower out.. I enjoy fixing all that I can
Gday, Its amazing how much does get thrown out these days when it can be easily fixed, Thanks for watching, Cheers
That was perfect timing for me, very relaxing watching you do that after sitting behind the wheel for 8 1/2 hours today coming back from up north, (less traffic coming home and it was 2 hours quicker), turned on the computer, opened TH-cam and Bingo, there you were, a nice outcome in the end. 👍
Glad you enjoyed mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop You're most welcome. 👍
Interesting as always...
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching
Hello Matty,
A good job, well done. I like how you made the tapers with the parting tool... I have a pulley to make and will follow that approach... Good mod getting rid of the spring tensioner.
Take care.
Paul,,
Gday Paul, I really can't workout why the used the springs as the tensioner, crap system really, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Just got home from seeing my youngest grandson Ethan and with a post from Matty waiting, awesome day. Glad that the job went well, you have a beautiful garden. Take care and see you next week, regards to you and family. Thanks for posting 👍
Appreciate you watching mate
Always been my favorite kind of job. Fixing something that was destined for the scrap heap otherwise. Nicely done.
I do enjoy these types of repairs to, way better then throwing things away, Thanks for watching Cheers
good video matty
Hoping you are healing well,
Gday, Im not going to bad now overall thanks mate
Looks like a win to me. I think the manufacturer needs to have you as an authorized repair shop for them.
Thanks Tom, I’d say there’d be a few that needed repairing mate
Ahh... reminds me of the days when I did lawnmowing. Good fix Matty.
I wish I could look at a bunch of dirty parts, then 'nek minit' they are all clean. I use to use petrol to clean parts, but now I use kerosene or diesel. You don't want to inadvertently cause a spark when cleaning with petrol. You can throw a match into diesel and it will just go out so that is a lot safer.
Gday, Ive always used petrol and old habits die hard, I used to cart bulk fuel so I know the dangers of the stuff, Thanks for watching, cheers
Perfect repair. That pulley will never fail. 🙂 Beautiful yard and garden you have there.
Thanks very much, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
It's always nice to see the finished product put to use, often you don't see where the part is going to go !!!
Gday, glad you enjoyed mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Well done Matty, very good video, I'm glad your cancer is leaving you alone now.
Best regards from the UK Ken
Gday, Im a lot better then what I was but still not back to 100%, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

It's a case of make do and mend I can understand why your mates ask you to fix things for them good little job well done
Job well done Matty, great video, keep'um coming.
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching as always, Cheers
You’re the mate everyone needs 👍
Thanks for watching, cheers
A small endmill with a flute aligned right can make a good short boring bar.
Thats a great idea mate, Thanks
Ready to hit the road again. Well... the lawn.
And hopefully I won't have to fix it again for a few years, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Yep no worries, give me 18 months and ill be there🤣, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Good Jaab!!!! chum.
Nice JOB!
I love how the Joey's don't appear to care about the running lawnmower 😉
There’s plenty of them here mate
Better than original.
Didn't take much to make it better mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
yep good one matty thought he may have given it to you
I don't really need any more mowers mate, only mower I like is one that you dont have to walk behind, Thanks for watching, Cheers

I was lucky this was the wife's uncles mower, Now he has to mow his lawns, Thanks for watching, Cheers
That was a good deal. What was the brand of mower. I like their warranty.
Gday, the brand is Yardforce, there a pretty cheap mower but there warranty is good, Thanks for watching, cheers
2 minutes in, 1st video I've watched of your s. Kurtis has never used DNMG insert nor a chucking spider, found a new channel. Yea
Thanks for watching mate
Hello friend, I hope you’re doing well. What
Happened to the coolant pump? I see you again with oil.
Gday, I put the coolant on the mill until I get another setup,
Hi Mate did you get the email I sent you on how to fix the quill on your mill
Gday, I had a ton of emails come through, If you like canyon send it again please, that way I know I definitely got it mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
G'day Matty! Nice job mate, that pulley is ten times better than the plastic shit original. I know these things are made to a price And are designed to fail just outside the warranty period but fuck me that is a piece of shit deign, well not in the manufacturers eyes,but the customers certainly. The end float you showed I think does not matter, because it only runs one way and the design of the drive gears push the shaft towards one side only when driving. If there were a reverse, then they would have to address the end float somehow. Anyway your mate has a his and hers set of mowers now lol. Cheers Matty! Sam from England
Cheers mate
They probably made the pulley plastic so it would fail before the gearbox destroyed itself.
Thats very possible mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Matt, hey why didn't you just bore out the hole and sleeve it??
You could've done to large hoe plugged it , welded it then re drilled the hole.
Its only a daggy motor pulley drive.
Or am I over thinking again.
Think about the standards Matty applies to his work. Notice he even polished the outside faces of the soon to be "dirty old pulley". So do you think Matty would have been satisfied with "just" a weld up and re-bore, or otherwise a re-sleeve?
Gday, Yes I could have repaired the first one but I know its not what I wanted, I'd rather take the time to make it right from the start, Thanks for watching, Cheers
