PTO driven 4x4 timber trailer build - cleaning BMW E39 independent rear suspension differential half axles in the sandblasting cabinet. Turning in the lathe to size and welding on additional CNC laser cut flanges to accommodate the CNC-machined adapters for the 60 mm axles for the tandem axle chain housings. Fabricating a tool for turning down the modified BMW half axle to size. Checking the run-out of the shafts with a dial gauge. Turning the BMW half axle new flanges down to size and giving a centering edge so they fit together with the CNC machined adapters. Threading the flanges. Cutting off the old mounting ears of the BMW differential since they now interfere with the larger diameter flanges. Pressing back in the BMW half shafts and mounting the CNC machined adapters and shaft extenders. Sandblasting and painting the modified BMW differential. Jacking up and mocking up the now completed differential unit under the frame of the 4x4 PTO driven timber trailer with hydraulic crane. Starting to build the sliding movable axle frame that allows for load balance point adjustment on-the-fly but running into a fitment problem. The weld inside the 90x90x4mm rectangular tube prevents it from sliding on the 80x80x4mm frame tube. So I have to figure out a way of removing it. And a crude temporary fly-cutter is born out of an old rusty horse carriage axle and a cutting edge made from tool steel. Check it all out in the video! Stay tuned for the next episode & thanks for watching!
Trailer specs:
* 28x11-14" tires & 14" rims
* 1450mm/57" wide; length and height - unknown
* tandem axles with homemade chain housings
* BMW E39 530D differential with 2.81 gearing (identical to the UTV diffs)
* hydraulic crane with a boom & grapple for easier log loading & handling
* independent hydraulic power pack
* radio controlled hydraulic winch on the boom
* load capacity - 1-1,5 metric tonne

This video is what I do love about the RU-vid community. People can share ideas and stuff. Removing that weld seam was brilliant. Not likely something I would have come up with and I've been machining and fabricating a long time. The build is similar to something I've had percolating in my head for years. It's great we can learn things and pass them on.

Looks good Donn. One suggestion that we use at work, when using a roll of tape, bend the last few mm of the tape back on itself to make a pull tab for removal. Its so much easier than looking for the end of the tape, either on the roll, or where you applied the tape.

@ohhpaul7364 2 года назад

Great looking work that you do, Donn. Fireball Tool had a good way of using high speed steel and a piece of steel cut to the shape of the inside of the tubing for removing the weld seam, so that even if the seam is off-center in the tube it will still cut it out. just need some all-thread rod to go with it.

@DanKoning777 Год назад

I appreciate fireball's ideas/builds; especially the vise he built awhile back, but the nonstop talking/explaining finally drove me away. I tried the "mute," but he does much of his work when he's not talking, so nothing was happening [on my end].

I am LIKING this trailer! Very impressively done. The adjustable driven axle is a 1st, that I know of. There are plenty of adjustable trailer axles (most of the 18 wheeler trailers in North America, I think), but I've not heard of one this small, nor of a driven adjustable one. You'll have to keep the slider greased up so it'll work well, but keep on top of the daily grease points, and you'll be on decently good shape. I'd build the slider differently, with either teflon slides or conveyor rollers, but this'll work well. I'm looking forward to seeing it with both final drives in place, and being tested for fore-and-aft movement of the entire arrangement. That will validate whether this will work. I think it's an idea that should be further explored. Good job!!

@petervandijk7366 2 года назад

Read the manual on the keyless coupling. You are actually supposed to tighten the bolt next to the bolt you just did and go in a circle, a few times. So not like a car wheel or steam valve etc. And use a torque wrench. They work great though, less machining, wider tolerance and better centered. Keep it up!

@LeoTonius 2 года назад

Indeed, he could have drilled a hole to hold the tool. But he would have ruined the whole bar.

@demonic477 2 года назад

good job on the weld seam but most people would just use an angle grinder to cut a groove in the other tube for the weld seam to ride in . it takes all of 15 minutes to grind a small channel in the tube for the weld and saves a days work . still your answer was very elegant and makes for a better looking job in the end .

@lukasvondaheim 2 года назад

6:20 those look almost identical to those that are used in our mechanical garbage sorting machine we use at work. They lock the pullies to the eccentric shaft that move the sieves. All powered by one big electric motor. The forces involved are a bit teriffying to me I can't wait to finally see your trailer in full action!

@Theweldingmillennial 2 года назад

I really hope the center diff can take the load. Normally the wheel bearing/ hub is very close the the wheel center line which basically takes the leverage off the bearings in the diff. With only one spherical bearing per side the diff is going to be supporting a lot of load compared to a normal car. Is it not possible to use a solid axle from a truck…I guess the gears would be different. Great video I hope it works!!!

@nordishkiel5985 2 года назад

I am worried about the diff as well. If one of the wheel assemblies hits an obstacle (plenty of those in the forrest), it will put a huge load on the diff. I really hope it all works out, but I would not do it this way. Using a second outboard bearing to take the load and let the diff float free of external forces seems a lot more in line with the diff's original purpose. The diff housing is not designed to take bending loads from the output shafts.

@haroldphipps3457 2 года назад

Ok, so you both missed the fact this diff will drive tandem wheels mounted in walking beam style? The load will be borne by the bearings in the walking beam.

@Theweldingmillennial 2 года назад

@@haroldphipps3457 a typically walking beam suspension still has the main load riding on springs which are very close to the wheel centerline. It's just like a seesaw. The pivot point is in the middle and the load will balance.the wheels and the center diff will see the same load. The bearings need to be as close to the wheel centerline as possible so the axle works like a lever and not the seesaw. Walking beam or not the current set up the center diff is probably not going to be very Happy. Some of those diffs don't even have bearings, they just use bushing because they are meant to take rotational load not radial.

@haroldphipps3457 2 года назад

@Scott of all trades you obviously haven't watched his video on the, what he calls "chain boxes". There are NO SPRINGS. AND, the chain boxes take all the load of the trailer. The diff supports ZERO load. NONE. Makes all your concerns invalid. All it does is transmits power. It is helpful to know what you are talking about, before making yourself a fool.

@Theweldingmillennial 2 года назад

@@haroldphipps3457 a single spherical bearing on a shaft can’t magically support a load on two ends of a shaft… that’s a fact. I would draw you a Mickey Mouse first grade version of what I’m talking about but you clearly still wouldn’t understand.
