Stepped away for a moment, but I'm back! Great SHED WORK. Craftsmanship and application. Seems like you've knocked the rust off, crawling around, and roadtrips.BRAVO
Gday, the way the roads are around here anything will come loose but so far the new nut has stayed tight and no sign of coming loose at all, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Lovely job on the lock nut Matty. I like the pinch mechanism. I shall have to get myself some of those counterbores. I still use end mills - which is not ideal. Keep up the great work. Good to see you back in the workshop and looking healthy. Cheers mate, Craig
Great to see you Matty, you're looking good mate. The nut was a good idea with the slit, should hold it in place. We moved 4 years ago to a house half way up a mountain in West Wales in a forest. We had 12 dogs at the time so I had them in cages in the van and stopped twice to give them a break. They love it here, but sadly due to illness and age we have 7 dogs now, they all were well loved. Good to see you back 👍
G’Day Matty, that big locknut reminds me of a similar requirement on my heavy slashing mower. It has one big central bolt to affix the whirling bits, and the manufacturer wants to make sure those don’t fly off, so the bolt is secured three ways: immense torque, Loctite, and a hex locking tab which is welded into place around the bolt head. Those bolts tend to stay put! 👍
Thats my attitude to machining too - that nut will be underneath the trailer, will never be seen, and you're concerned about the surface finish! Love it!
Hi 👋 Matty, great little job but you could've also used a rear wheel hub (and brake drum) off a fwd car 🚗, then you'd have 2 opposing taper bearing, castle nut, lock collar, split pin assembly and also a dust cover cap aswell, just an idea 💡 mate, take it easy and enjoy your weekend, Ste 🇬🇧
Nicely done, let us know how the nut worked. Dinner at my house is not to be missed, because 1: the Mrs makes wonderful food 2: Since she spends a good part of each day preparing it, the least i can do is eat it while it is still hot. 3: If I am very late, without I give a good reason ("playing" in the shed is not a good reason) before-hand, it goes in the bin and I end up making a cheese or marmite sandwich.😢😂
Gday, the nut worked well and didn’t come loose at all, dinner is pretty good here to, I even get lunch brought out to the workshop, thanks for watching, cheers
Gday, I really should have shown the trailer, its the same one I made the crane for, here in Australia this type of trailer is called dog trailer, thanks for watching mate, Ceers
Nice job again Matty. I have never had to do an internal blind thread, I rather think my pucker factor would be at a very elevated level if I did. Thinking about it I need to investigate modifying my new to me lathe with a reverse toolpost so I can cut threads coming out of the hole. Hopefully you are feeling a lot better, particularly if you are driving 100's of Km.
Gday Bill, I made sure there was plenty of space at the end of the tread so i had no chance of crashing, it had been a while since id done one myself, i'm feeling a lot better then i was thankfully, the end of last year was pretty rough, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Always like your work Matty, but,,,,,,,,,,,, I don't think you'll have much luck keeping that nut tight with what you've done. I could be wrong, but I've been thinking about it the last couple of days, what was making the nuts turn in the first place? That large washer you had just after the bearing must of been putting pressure on the nut to loosen it, you haven't changed that. You must of checked or changed your rear wheel bearings (on your Truck), even the front bearings. Have a think what the washer looks like, it has a little tag stopping the washer from moving then the nuts. Its just a thought, hope I'm wrong. The other problem would be how to stop the washer from moving? or just a Castellated Nut, See what you think.
Gday, We did the trip away and the trailer was loaded, we had quite a bit of rough dirt roads as well and the new nut stayed tight the entire way with no sign of coming loose at all, I could of made a castellated nut which would work but I want to try something different, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Gday Nigel, so far this has worked without any problem, it stayed tight the whole trip so i think i can mark this job as complete, Thanks for watching mate,
Happy new thread taps, yes, machine taps are great, both spiral point and spiral flute, great improvement on straight flute hand taps. Great job as always Matty, thanks for sharing.
Una tuerca con un corte de ajuste mas un bulon de bloqueo. Genial idea, una solución simple y efectiva para un problema importante de seguridad‼️ Aprecio y valoro su talento. Genial Matty👍
@@MattysWorkshop I'm watching you from a long time, Matty. Since Kurtis told us about you. Sorry for your healt issues, i hope that you'll be fine again! Don't give up, Matty, never give up!
Good solution to the problem, maybe a thrust bearing instead of the washer might help as well, so there is less friction being applied to the nut and wanting to turn it. 👍 How's the health issue ??
Gday, I did think about a thrust bearing but so far its stayed tight and no sign of coming loose thankfully, Im hoping to have a health update in the next week or so, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Gday, Happy new year mate, im feeling ton better then I was at the end of last year, I wasn't real good back then thats for sure, Thanks for watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop that's sooo cool that you actually talk with your subscribers/supporters Matty, you're definitely a real one, brother. I'm really happy to hear things are on the up-n-up. Take care! I look forward to watching what 2024 brings us! All the Best!
Gday Paul, the trailer this was on is the same one i made the crane for a while ago, here in Australia there called dog trailers and i should have shown this in the video, sorry about that mate, Im hoping to have a health update in a week or so, Thanks for watching
Just a thought Matty couldn't you make the nut like a wheel bearing style where its a castle nut style and use the split pin to secure it? You do have the skills to make one to size. Hope the trip went well
G'day Matty! A nice job that should do the business. I can't see that coming loose anytime soon and all it needs if it does loosen any is to haul a bit harder on the Allen key to distort the split a bit more. What sort of distance is there from the farthest part of the rotating bed to the bearing? Any real weight on the outside might have distorted the thread by flexing and loosened the lock nut. As you have it now one piece I can't see it doing that any longer so you shouldn't have any further trouble mate. You are looking a lot better Matty and I sincerely hope you are feeling it. Cheers from London, Sam
Gday Sam, the trailer has a about a 10ft deck, so far the nuts hasn't come loose once, we did a far bit of rough dirt roads and the trailer was loaded, its been a win mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
I understand it made video content making a new nut , but couldn't the old nut been split and locking bolt installed in it ?? Keep up the great videos ....
Gday, The 2 nuts are the originals for when it was built, it never have a castle nut on it, the split pin was a second safety, Thanks for watching, Cheers
G'day Matty. Great job on the new nut My question is, why didn't you just use two nuts, first one tightens on the baring, second nut locks on 1st nut & threads. Never come off Wondering if the Barings need attention, causing excessive up & down movement making original nut to come loose. Great video
Have another look at the nuts Matty took off, from 0:10 to 2:00, large nut onto thrust washer with another slimmer nut to lock it, but it still came loose. BTW Thanks for making the videos of your RF30, they were helpful when I was shopping around for a mill.👍
@bobswrigles8636 G'day Bob, I'm glad I was of little help. The reason I mentioned the nuts is that I couldn't see them being locked together. 2 nuts locked against each other & on the threads at the same time shouldn't generally move, like truck wheel barings, etc .
@@TedRoza I thought the same, but I'm thinking, maybe the extra wide centre of the old thrust washer was locking the nuts onto the shoulder where the bearings go in and not the bearing centre on the thread, causing the nuts to unscrew as the threaded part turned.
