Молодец Донни, очень нравится мне твоё увлечение,очень круто ты все делаешь,мастерская твоя олецитворение мечты многих мужиков с нормальными руками!!! Жду с нетерением продолжения проекта!!!👍👍👍
This is a great job, and what I like about your work is your focus on perfecting the details and subtleties, which confirms that you are a professional.
i am not sure how much i am actually learning.. or if the time will ever come to use said knowledge, but never the less, i am really enjoying the build.
Your videos are the best. I was going stir crazy wanting to watch what you have built this week. I built a metal brake this week. I have been needing to build some tool boxes and this was the thing I really needed.
VERY VERY NICE !! I love how you think things through !! Wonderful design and execution !! I see you making a sleeve to over come the obstacle of the new shafts 🤔 . Look how far you have come it is so exciting to me to able to see this all take shape !! FABULOUS work !! Cant wait for the next video !!🔧👍👍
Otro muy buen video amigo esta vez nos compartes la construccion de un un eje de toma de fuerza (PTO) para un remolque de el UTV, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela. Another very good friend video this time you share with us the construction of a power take-off shaft (PTO) for a UTV trailer, my respects and greetings from Venezuela.
Driven trailers are great, but create bit of a issue specially in heavier equipment, where if you have vehicle it self spilling badly and put power to trailers drive train that holds, there is possibility of it breaking something if that is not over built to handle such forces IE you are putting all of the combined weight and power of the engine into one axle. Also gear ratio needs to be considered when building such construction. Have a rear axle from different ratio than the front and you will break weakest link. In this case i dont think it is big issue since his using car parts on UTV, but its pretty close safety margins with all that weight, specially if trailer is loaded with dirt or such heavy load.
You can use a sleeve for the solid axles, and it would be cool if you welded the arrow on the sprocket, slower but surely!! It’s really coming to life this thing!! Love the vids!!
Great job Donn, lots of great fabricating in each video !! Thanks for sharing with us, excellent work you’re doing. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have to say the Power Take Off to transfer power to the axle/s on the trailer for this machine is going to be cool, been throwing around the same idea for a trailer to go on my cub cadet that has the trans PTO assembly in it.
If the shafts are the same size just cut a piece of tubing to slip over each one. Weld the ends and then drill a couple spots for a plug weld on each side. Everything is intended to be low speed compared to a vehicle so should not make a huge difference if there is a little bit out of balance. but you could easily spin them between centers and check vibration and add or remove a little weight. Looks good though. Too bad you can not integrate a clutch of sorts for the PTO so that you could also drive an implement if you wanted. Say a hydraulic pump for a cutter or a generator to run your cutter/splitter. But having a trailer that will help drive should be pretty nice if all the axel's are welded. Be true ALL wheel drive.
The one thing i would've gone a different route regarding the PTO itself, is i would've used one of those adjustable clutches, like the ones Mike Festiva used for his 4x4 articulated dump truck to make an LSD driven by chain. Essentially, out of use, the gear spins on its own, but there's no power to the PTO, when you need it, you tighten the nut, and it works, mostly because you can add a slip variable to the whole system, like if the driven item suddenly locks up on you, you're not going to hurt the UTV. Just a thought. Prolly too late to engineer that into it now.
Man, is that luck or what. Nice fit on the shafts, normally, you'd search the seven seas and couldn't find something that fit so well. :D edit: welp, spoke too soon.
It is sure that, even on a classic 4x4, the transmission is a very complicated part (and I find it hard to believe that you succeeded in assembling Peugeot parts with BMW parts) good job !
I ain't a very good critic, I love all the work that you do/LOL. I figure this will be a dandy..... lets hope it swims good as I know everything has to go to the beaver dam to be checked out
Instead of the angle join of one drive shaft slotted in the other, which while not a major issue is out of balance, Slot one in the other as you have, but instead of an angle cut on the outer, cut square to length as normal, (and instead of doing plug welds through holes as you have done previously, ) split the outer tube in 4 lengthwise cuts( quarters) the same length and weld You now have twice as much weld which is four times as strong as your diagonal version, but it is still reasonably balanced , if the new axles are solid and using the tube axles in combination, turn down the new solids to just over an internal slide fit, heat the tube and if necessary cool the solid axle to fit , then again having pre cut the outer tube, weld up the four lengthwise slots If both axles end up solid turn your standard Male/ female slide fit but tight as above, you can either cut the outer shaft slots as above or even mill them. Whichever way you go, this will be hugely stronger than just plug welds The whole lot could be cleaned up in the lathe to leave a clean OEM look and be as close to balanced as possible without actual balancing Cheers
I,m subscribed and watch all of your vids. back in the day, my aircraft instructor taught us, never put bolts in head down, or in the case of a vehicle , head backward. If the nut vibrates loose in a head down position, ( or head backward), the bolt falls off (or out). That generally results in system failure. Sometimes catastrophicaly.
Would the shafts still be strong enough if you just fitted a sleeve over the joint and welded the sleeve to the two solid shafts? You could even weld the shafts together with a butt weld first, then grind the weld smooth and slide the sleeve over it and weld it too (assuming you remember to put the sleeve on before welding) I'm sure you have probably already figured it out by now though. Love this series, thanks again :)
I thought this shaft will be connected with any machine like in the tractor and I considered how it could work without any clutch but never mind. The trailer will be great 👍
You must have your rear wheels turning whenever you have power to your PTO. Wouldn't you like to be able to power something while you are stationary? Simple solution: LOCK-OUT HUBS on all four wheels. Since you're going to weld the transmission's diff, you'll have full power to the PTO. Just lock out all four wheels and put the transmission in first gear ... PTO turns, UTV stays still. And you could go 2WD if you want to, either rear-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Plus, towing your UTV would be easier with free-wheeling on all four.
