Join me as I talk about my experiences, run my equipment, repair broken stuff (I do a lot of this), do a little machining, improve my shop often buying vintage tools and my favorite, metal fabrication. Please subscribe and comment.
G'day Randy. Good job on the hydraulic hose replacement. It's a dirty job isn't it. Cheers, Aaron. PS: I love the concept of log splitting with the bucket.
@@JourneymanRandy We took a 3 bedroom basement apartment in Rockland, Jul 15... It is killing me having my shop in boxes, in 2 8x16 storage bins, I'm already sick of turning sideways to walk between stacks of boxes, and all of our furniture is in the 3rd bin not delivered ye...
Hi Randy. I have this mower and the steering cable snapped... any chance you can post a quick video of how the steering cable is wrapped around the bottom of the steering column.
I made my own cable. It wasn't hard to do. It's a weak spot on this machine. I believe i used a thinker aircraft cable on mine. The later models have a bicycle tipe chain that is much stronger.
I bet that 4MT spindle has been reamed out a few times over its life, thats probably why its larger than spec. Well worth doing the modification. I like your lathe, its so quiet compared to a noisy geared head machine. Cheers Tony
Thanks for showing the shifters on the f2400 for I bought one that has the decals worn out. The one I just bought had 1408 hrs now has 1409 hrs it runs real good. I'll have to rebuild the 6 ft deck.
Great. 1408 is low hours. I have one with 5000 hours and going strong. Keep up your maintenance like grease oil and filters. It will last many years. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@mmzwgr780 Getting them free is better. The one I was using has about a one inch threaded rod. Very strong. That was three years ago and I plan on using the trailer today. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very cool. I never knew those existed and my father was an old school heavy construction foreman. On his last job he was in his 70's back in 2001 working as a dozer operator.
@floridarusticrepairs Thanks for stopping by. My father in law had a CATERPILLAR D3 from the 1960s. The technology is unbelievable today. I just picked up a Beach tool box. It needs a lot of help. I think the previous owner spayed black auto under coating on it. It comming off with gas. Long way from presentable.
Hey i got a l2550 i was mowing and hit a angle iron i cant engage my pto now the lever feels like if something is holding it from sliding all the way in when release the clutch it trys to engage but sounds like grinding my question is do you think i bent something or broke something inside
I doubt hitting something caused this unless it hit very hard. On my tractor the bearing broke. This might have caused the teeth to break on the pto gear. Only way to know is split the tractor.
I'm glad you got there in the end, or rather the beginning by the part numbers... I kept yelling at you about what to hammer, where and when... and you just never listened... ;)
That is a good little vice. I have the same model. Good england foundrys. Its not the most expensive but its lightyears ahead of the china crap we have available at the hardware shit stores
I have two Paramo vices. I am using my four inch now. I think they are great. I will buy another if it turns up. I'm looking for a 5 inch. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I put them beside my wife's horse riding ring. She has some big events here. Might be 30 to 40 people here sometimes. Thanks for asking and commenting.
Thank you. This tractor had 3200 hours on it today. It doesn't get used much now. I just used it Wednesday for the first time since last year. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you great video! I need to replace every single bearing on my A-7. However the manual (pdf) only has the wells part number. Does anyone have a complete list (cross reference) the wells part number with the actual bearing from SKF, Fafnir, etc?
Try contacting W.F.WELLS & SONS. They were still in business and making the A-7 modern version. They email me a PDF file of the manual. That was years ago. Another option is to go to a bearing suppier. Any good bearing supply would be able to get those parts. Just bring in the old ones. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting.
04/27/2024 We have a Rockwell/Delta 31-710. We want to sell. Where is a good place to advertise? Thank-You for your video. You explain a few things for us.
Probably craigs list, or facebook Marketplace. If it's in good working order you could get $200 or much more if it looks cosmetically good. Very desirable machines. Thanks for watching.
Nice one Randy, I'll probably do the same thing if I ever get my little horizontal mill restored. It's a B&S #9 taper. That material was rather hard but you got through it. ATB....Dean
