Removing a Toyota FJ40 transmission that is stuck to the engine.
Hi Kevin, hopefully you see this ,does the magneto come of the face plate ,there must be a shaft for the bushing to be frozen, this is were I'm at right now ,I'm hoping that's all I find frozen, and were you able to use the existing magneto or is that why you used the buzz coil. Any help is more than much applicated ,Thank you even if you can't respond I do appreciate the video .
My magneto was chopped off and just the lower part was left where the cam and points are housed, it was converted to run on a battery and I went with that. My magneto base mounts to a horizontal plate that is part of the cast iron side face plate. The magneto gear that is driven by the larger cam gear has to be removed also to be able to remove the magneto completely from the side plate as well. My magneto was also the main reason for the engine not turning . Once I removed the magneto I had some movement in the piston. It took quite a bit of effort to free up the magneto bearing itself. Lot of lubrication and gently working the shaft back and forth. Hope this helps in some way. Kevin
@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop Thank you ,the rust poors out the little hole in the front of my magneto ,I have the little transmission freed up,qnd the governor ,the piston and valve have been soaking scene the day I committed here ,I had just bought and drove back the 150 miles to pick it up,I'm going to brave up and remove the front plate tonight ,I believe the magneto is the reason it's frozen,I'll probably find out the hard way nothing ever goes easy for me,plan on using this motor for a 1904 de dion Bouton buggy build ,I know this was a reel mower engine, but it so close to those early car motors I love to see it run again if possible, hope you have a wonderful day ,and Thanks so much.
Don't use a drill chuck for milling. Your end mill, or the whole chuck assembly if it's on a MT2 / MT3 type of arbour will come fly at you if you are unlucky. And it's not a question of if but when. It DEFINITELY is going to happen.
Like the video. I've been looking how to make my own trusses and floor joists haven't found the perfect hydraulic c press yet but just and idea that might save you time on keeping everything aligned try using a corregated fasner stapler.
Ha I have the exact same drill press just a lower model as it’s missing the light
I just bought one like this today, it has everything including the original radiator motor is frozen, I'll be watching this video a lot as I'll try and restore it😊
So great you got the radiator! Mine was frozen also, I disconnected the connecting rod from crankshaft and removed the cylinder from the crankcase. I worked on the cylinder below the piston and got it cleaned up with a small hone. was able to draw out the piston from the cylinder. Good luck and thanks for watching! Kevin
Ton travail merveilleux il lui manque les plans de mesure pour que tes abonnée réalisant ton idée chez soit
Merci d'avoir regardé ! La vidéo montre uniquement un concept. Chaque perceuse à colonne est différente et les plans et les mesures ne s'appliqueraient pas à tous les modèles de perceuse à colonne fabriqués. Kévin
Very well done! Ingenuity!
Gracias por la opcion me ayuda mucho para las personas q no podemos tener una fresadora genial.
Very nice upload mo new ideas how work can we do with drill press
Appreciate the feedback, Thanks for watching!
Fantástico.A melhor ideia que eu vi até hoje.
I like your very clever setup Only problem; drill presses make very poor milling machines.
Thanks for watching and commenting! This setup ended up working surprisingly well. I wanted to mill an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump and it turned out to work well and allowed me to precisely mill my project. I know it has limited ability but it did what I needed. Thanks, Kevin
Nice tips. I would paint that on/off switch red.
Thanks, red is a good idea, Kevin
Verry nice.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching, Kevin
It looks similar in build quality to my 1956 DeWalt MB RAS which is also pretty much all cast iron, mine's only drawback being that it takes a 9" blade, which, while they can be found are nowhere near as prolific as the 10" blades. Mine has a toggle on/off switch closer to the base of the arm on its right side which I am happy with. Never cared for those keyed switches, which, whenever I've had them, I super glue the key in place so there's never any chance of losing it.
❤❤❤ veri veri god
Excellently engineered solution, sir.
Thanks for your comment, I was really relieved when it popped loose! Kevin
Subbed and bell on! Your voice and demeanor were made for showing folks how - to's. You're also a smart guy, I enjoy watching your creations.
Jim, Thanks for the kind feedback, really appreciate you watching and subscribing, Kevin
Amen
Don, appreciate the comment and thanks for watching, Kevin
Any milling at all on a drill press is dangerous without a drawbar to secure the taper on the chuck & i would not have any milling cutters in a drill chuck it will come loose even light milling, get your self a mill & be safe.
Appreciate your sharing this, safety is important!
Excellent work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for sharing on your forum. I really enjoy these types of projects, Kevin
@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop Yeah, building the tools is often more satisfying than using them.
A really good idea! Above all, it can be dismantled.
I appreciate the feedback, works great when you occasionally need that ability. Thanks for watching, Kevin
I have a 12” model that I am rebuilding. It is mostly in good shape.
Nice job!
Danny, Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching, Kevin
Nice setup Mr. Kevin! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I like how you did this. I have 4 lathes but not a mill. I guess I should stop buying lathes and find me a milling machine... Thanks for sharing, I subbed!
Danny, thank you! Kevin
Simples, e eficiente! Good…
Grazie, Kevin.
Very ingenious, good job! My depth stop was very low quality and was not accurate whatsoever so I removed it completely. Has anyone seen a diy version that might work on my 9” unit?
I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!
Amazing
Thanks
Really smart upgrades. Paint the switch knob R E D .
Absolutely going to make one for my 42' Craftsman DP. Yes, the knob will be red. Great idea!
I can't wait to see what you post next, but I have no doubt it'll be fun to watch. Thanks for sharing
Really appreciate your feedback, thanks for watching, Kevin
It's a well built for a Ryobi. Most of their tools barely have any metal.
Bob, The Ryobi saw is an older model, I was surprised how solid is. Regards, Kevin
Nice upgrades. I have a brother to your press. Bought it for $100 in 1968.
Appreciate the feedback, amazing yours is a 1968! Thanks for watching, Kevin
Nice work. I love the outro by the way. Shows pride in your work by showing the cleaning up and it also kinda says “job well done”. Kudos!
Mark, I appreciate the comments, it is a homage to my dad, he taught me to put tools away and clean up. Thanks for watching, Kevin
@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop The world needs more men like you!
@@mark_luna Mark, thank you! Kevin
Love that switch mod!
Mark, I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching! Kevin
I would replace that keyed chuck with the keyless chuck… they’re not that expensive.
I appreciate the tip, that would save a lot of time, thanks for watching! Kevin
What brand and where to find it, if you don’t mind🙂
Nice device to have! Thank you for sharing this video.
Lonnie, appreciate the comment, thanks for watching, Kevin
I like that switch arrangement. I have a similar setup. I think I’m going to use a tandem switch, one throw for the motor, one for the light.
John, thanks for taking the time to comment, like your tandem switch idea, Kevin
Brillant! - an informative, nicely explained and useful video - I like the speed change lever idea and will use a version of it on my drill press Well done and thank you! :)
Hi, appreciate your feedback, glad the video helped, thanks for watching, Kevin
No probs - nicely explained and demonstrated, unlike some on here! Best wishes. @@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop
Upper part of the shaft of my drill press (cheap Chinese) is responsible for 90% of spindle play. Do you have any drawings or photos of such assembly?
Hi, I don't have any drawings of my drill press and don't see a way to send you a picture of my drill press through this email portion of UA-cam. My drill press seems tight and I do not have any play in the spindel. The lower portion supported by a large ball bearing, upper portion I can not see, but most likely is a sleeve bearing of some kind. Not much help to you, Kevin
Those are all great upgrades.
Dustin, I appreciate your feedback, thanks for watching my video, Kevin.
I have this same machine in my shop from the 80s. It has been a good machine & my hands use it almost without the engagement of my mind. One upgrade on mine was to replace the original set-screw in the channel that allows the table to tilt. Mine now has a permanent set that can be altered if ever I want to tilt the table. Before, it tended to tilt of its own accord. I have several drill presses now, better ones, yet I go back to this one the most.
James, thanks for watching and commenting. Some simple changes can make a big difference, Kevin
Large trusses are built with structural old growth lumber only which is typically 3X as strong as lumberyard material. Unless the building span is very small I would not recommend anyone building their own trusses. I am an engineer,
Tim, I appreciate your feed back, the span was small for a storage shed. Thanks for watching, Kevin
Nice saw and mods. I love vintage craftsman saws. I had an old 10" cabinet tablesaw that was a beauty
Nice job, the only comment I have is the Technium had a rear steel triangle and the front triangle is aluminum, so the lugs were glued where the steel and aluminum come together. They did have some frame failures with this method, so check carefully for any paint cracking on the lugs.
Thanks for the feedback! Really good information, I checked the frame over very carefully and found no cracks in paint or any evidence of stress on the frame. Really appreciate it Kevin.
Nice work. I’m going to have to look you up.
Nice project!
Awesome idea. Thanks for the inspiration
Robert, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching, Kevin
I purchased the same drill press in 1982. I love it and use it all the time. My looks a lot more rustic than yours. Perhaps it is time to clean it up.
Appreciate your comments! My dad and I bought the drill press at a business that was importing power tools back then, this was before we had stores like Harbor Freight. It was a tremendous savings and value. Thanks for watching, Kevin.
I was born in 1986😂... but on a little more serious note. I currently have 4 Drill Presses, the "youngest" is a Startrite Floor Type (Made in England) from 1998, then I have a very small bench model dating from 1982 (Taiwanese made), another bench model (Japanese) from 1979 and a huge bench type (Also made in Japan, but different manufacturer). This last one is pre 1966, but not sure which year exactly. Weighs in around 140kg (+/-300lbs). Build quality on the older machines are much better than anything new available from China nowadays.
Cool idea I was going to ask, you can't do top and bottom nail plates at the same time can you?
I appreciate the feedback, it may be possible. I found it was easier to focus on the one side and get all the joints tight, positioned and the truss plate placed correctly. Once the one side is done it was quick easy to do the other side with everything locked in place. Thanks for watching, Kevin.
Cool! Looks pretty good! When will we get to see it run?
I appreciate the feedback! I plan in doing a prep, start and run video of this engine when we get past the snow and mud season. Thanks for watching, Kevin.
Enjoyed your video but a bit disappointed not to hear it run.
David, I appreciate your feed back! I plan to do a Prep, Start and Run video on the engine when the weather improves and we are past the snow and mud season.Thanks for watching, Kevin
