How to Repair Your Hills Hoist, The Bundy Bears Shed Way. 

Thanks. I have been looking for a video like this for seven years. Pulled my hoist apart and it is the same problem. Thanks again!

The only hoist that can out live the life of a house ! You have not been able to get them as strong as those for 50 years ! 👍

Great job Lance - if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well!!

9:54 thank you for showing this

Cheers mate we just got one of these old girls for our place n that bits stiff as sht so now i got n idea on stripping and putting back together

I just pulled mine to bits. The lift up part that you made a collar for didnt have a separate washer. the collar is effectively the conical washer too. The hook lodges inside the centre hole to prevent uplift which is why the collar is tack welded to the pipe. I dont have a lathe so Im expecting it will collapse one day in near future as rusting quite badly. my gear cogs are nylon too on the winder so not as good a build quality as yours but still ok as ive combined two clothes lines to make one workable one. I found your video was great. I have oiled rather than grease just a t present as I could find the grease. Also needed to dismantle the top to transport and was hoping for a close up of the rod connectors under the top pipe as photo I took prior wasnt clear enough but think I have worked it out now. Back out to try.

Great job as expected - great to see stuff being fixed not just junked al the time

G Day Lance, loads of brownie points there, happy wife, happy life, perfect

inox is a good spray doesnt dry out, atleast your hillshoist has metal gears and not plastic, good to see a sidchrome ratchet, still got my original set aussie made decades later still good even with lots of abuse.

Take 2 to see if the ether comment from the other vid stays here.... Take feckin 3,4,5,6, 10 keeps disappearing🤷‍♂️....Vileda will probably be plastic not rugged looking 😂 I got onto Vileda for line and tensioners, really only tensioners, i had bought hills line on Amazon. They said there's hills line on the site for sake but no tensioners.....Seriously WTF Anyway line on now just need a day to be bothered to fix the crank 😂 What about a plastic not rigid sleeve on the up n down?. I see you've not got the plastic line they sell now

I am just wondering if you could make me a part that you made for my Hills Hoist please? Thank you. Kind regards, Brooke.

Righto - got the same issue with mine, any chance you can sell me a coller and washer? Got a dodge temp fix with a bit of flat steel going at the moemnt but would love to fix it for the next 50 years.

Great vidio ,yeah if simply love fixing things and not throw away !!!mine is still going after 65 years of sevice ,,becose i oiled it every mounth or so.

Hey Bundy, great video I have the same p roblem as yours ie conical end sleeve has deteriorated. I had a look on the hills hoist parts online as suggested but they don't sell them. Are you able to make and sell me one? I live in country Vic and prepared to pay your labour and postage. Regards Michael

did you have to piss it right up to get it apart i have part on order easy nuts in //easy out

Doe's anyone own an "OIL CAN " these days ?????

Great video. Nice to be able to make your own parts.

I have to move one..wondering how to get the top off.

Looks like you have been slacking on greasing that. LOL

Hi Lance been there and done that on a very simular clothes line and got another 12 years out of it.

The old man thought he was doing the right thing years ago by greasing the top spindle (where you said not to) and sure as shit mums new silk sheets had blue grease on em, I reckon you could have heard the carry on from the east coast 😂😂

Not many of those hoists left now really. No one can say that you don't cover a wide range of projects on your channel 👍 😁

Great video.thank you for valuable content and expertise. We cannot make the top for above the winder to lift the pole like you did. The hills site does list it and they are out of stock of the hole repair kit which didn’t depict it anyway. Any other ideas? Thank you You

Im guessing this is what has failed on ours.... Can't seem to find any individual part to fix this though. so Im thinking of attempting to reddneck it by getting a bit of scrap galve sheet, and using an old toeball and sledge it into a pipe of similar sixing to see if it conforms to a usable shape. Then tac it grind it weld it grind it. Spray it. Grease it. 😅

Nice job break video

Bloody fantastic Lance...as an Englishman I had never seen a hills hoist but now living in Australia I've seen and had a few, currently same issue...I'm sure there a market there for the bits you made, love the diversity in your channel, cheers

Pearler video. I'll pull apart my Mums and get it fixed now 🎉

Now that's a proper whirly gig! - that's what we in the UK call 'em - Good repair Lance!

Most interesting! I had not seen one of those before now. We had similar things for air drying but none built as well as that one. Oh by the way, there must be a can of cold-galv. around somewhere. That's just ugly rust and a rust stain can be as hard on the wash as grease. Maybe more considering the easy fix.....😀

I wish to thank you for the video. I need to get a taper or make a different piece.

that will last the next generation if the arms last hhm new project lol

Keeping the cook happy is always a GOOD idea, haha 😎

Comments just keep disappearing 🤷‍♂️

You missed the most important part. The rope attachment for kids to swing on. Spent many an afternoon going round on them.

Weld done mate

Thats great

Nice job!
