@leonvandervyver8053 I believe the 450c and newer have "Wet Clutches" instead of dry clutches. This means oils don't mess up the friction discs but instead act as a lubricate like in an automatic transmission. The clutches still can wear out but they usually hold up way better than the dry clutches. I would recommend checking the clutches and brake bands for proper adjustment, if the adjustment is maxed out and you still do not get any better results I would say it is time for a rebuild. When you drain the oil from the clutch housing pay attention to see if water comes out. It should drain out first if the machine has been sitting for a period of time. Water can cause the moving components to rust and modify the oil's properties. Hope this helps!

@GAVINCANFIELD thanks ill check I'm busy stripping. Appreciate

I have a 450D, do you know if it's wet or dry clutches

I believe they are wet clutches

I am sure we will be using it for future projects! Once I get it all set up and have a decent understanding of how to use it you'll have to come down and check it out!

I will definitely get myself some safety glasses for the next use. As for knowing what model I have, do you know where I should look on the machine to find out? I'll agree with you that these older lathes do require more skill and attention to detail than a newer machine of this century. I will have to see if I can aquire a live center to help support the material as I'm turning it. I love to constantly learn and achieve goals so getting familiar with this machine should be a fun and exciting task for me. I will have to check out some of the work that you have mentioned above. After all my full time job as an engineer has me sitting at a computer all day long so I'm always looking for new content to watch! Thanks for the support! I hope to see your comments in future videos!

@@GAVINCANFIELD I am delighted to view this well built machine. The serial number is found as a stamping on bed way tailstock end "between the flat and vee." To add your serial number to the SBL Workshop Database, e-mail your information to:wswells as the web site listing delivery records and where owners can post info as to individual build. lathes were first numbered sequentially, beginning approximately, with number 700, in July 1910. In March of 1947, a new serial number system was introduced see WS Wells (Index). Keep in mind that when searching the database, try to determine if your lathe is pre or post 1947. The pre 1947 lathes are listed sequentially, and the post 1947 lathes are listed by size letter/lathe size. All older Series O, N, R and T are not size specific *The units all model types shipped world wide. As Ebay and facebook market place at present various parts and models are widely available. For instance when an approach to dozer track bushings as a repair is undertaken to multiples, The need for work part task as series is suggested to a "jig" with the measurements worked out and toolholder repeat cuts and feed all worked out to best speed, finish as a process. I happen to use various practice bits to fitment as goal. Don't forget this can be done in reverse gear to send chips down ward. Cuts as away from headstock from center of part on outfeed to avoid any wreck. Perhaps secure a few track rollers to practice as where a work flow (process) is achieved to fill the job requirement numbers. Note: good lighting fixture(s) help a lot. Abom79 channel recently posted a production drilling and boring job and a journeyman with the most modern tools demonstrates his skill. Regards, ...McGary

I did end up cutting the bit holder shorter to get it closer to the tooling holder and it made a huge difference! I will have to swap the gears around and see what kind of feed rate difference I get.

Yeah space is definitely something you need for this ole girl

I will be sure to do so! I enjoy learning new things so i do spend a lot of time watching youtube videos and reading service manuals

I will dust off the dial indicator on the next video!

Springs would be a good idea this way as the belt wears in or stretches out I don't have to keep adjusting those rods

I was thinking the same thing. it seems as if the threaded rod is bent some how, which is weird because it is pretty well protected in there.

I did see on the motor name plate I can wire it up to spin either direction. That will be something I look more into when I wire in a kill switch

Definitely need to get a scroll type chuck! I do have a dial indicator I just have to get it out and use it lol.

@paulward There is so much good information here to reference and I really appreciate the support! I did notice Ebay has a bunch of tooling/headstocks available to purchase so I will definitely be buying some tooling form there. I did lube all moving parts up, I know I didn't show it on camera but I did make sure to lubricate the machine before I made the video. I did notice some numbers stamped into the cross feed plate. "9 43" so I wasn't sure if that meant it was made in September of 1943 or not. I will have to look over the whole machine more closely for a serial number or a manufacture date/ model number. I do have a dial indicator and a magnetic block so I will be sure to get that out for the next video! Thank you for the info and support! I will be sure to reference this comment again when Searching ebay for parts!

I am excited to start using mine for an actual project! It will be interesting to see how much I actually end up using it. I enjoy having the ability to work on projects at my own pace and not have to rely on others for tools/help.

I believe I got them from reliable tractor parts, if my memory serves me well.

@andyhill8538 general gear and machine out of Boise Idaho. www.steeringclutch.com you can email them at steeringclutch@gmail.com your order or you can give them a call at 208 342 8911

Thanks for that info im a bout to use a peddle for the first time, it seems a lot just don't get on with them.

@joeyrector1015 yes it really is, I'm fortunate because sometimes auction equipment can come with it's issues

@@GAVINCANFIELD right. Especially used.

@@TodayIWorkOn can't wait to get back and keep going on the projects!

@timmikep1978 The busier, the better!

The crank shaft journal bearings were standard size but the connecting rods were .010" undersized. I did plasti gauge the bearings and got .0015" which is what the service manual calls for.

Yeah the ole girl needed some loving. I have since gone through readjusted the governor, cleaned the carb, adjusted the idle and power screws, and cleaned the sediment bowl. The tractor is running a lot better now!

For the money this hog is the way to go! I have had the hog since 2016. I have only sharpened the blades once and besides that I just routinely grease it. There was no damage to the deck until 2 years ago when I bought my property and I was not aware of a large rock that I ended up running over... The machine hog still cuts great through very rare that i have to make a second pass.

Has me sneezing for days every time I get off the machine!

I should do a mini series on the celebrity "Johnny Jump" himself....

Thank you! I have plenty more rocks around the property I should get to making another video on it.

All Gas, No Brakes!

I've been told by a handful of people about horror stories with brush hogging and hornets/ Bees... I haven't committed to a tractor with a cab because I would love to buy a compact track loader with a cab and a brush hog. Unfortunately, there is a large price difference there so it will be a while before I can afford one.

Thanks for the feedback. This was one of the first videos I had made on my channel. I realized after making it that the music didn't fit and that by speeding the video up from the on tractor perspective it makes you dizzy watching. Be sure to check out my newer brush hogging videos and let me know if I've improved my editing skills at all!

Thank you! I hope this video helps others when fixing up their own equipment! Replacing the steering clutches is no small job but at least when there is materials to reference it makes the job much easier!

Be sure to check out my newer brush hogging videos! I listened to your feedback.

Yes power steering makes things way easier! The Massey has a pretty continuous leak on the power steering pump, so it does not always assist in steering the tractor easily.

Just what the doctor ordered! I've put out a handful more brush hogging videos and I have a couple more in the works. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already!

The KX040-4 is a very capable machine. I'm really glad I bought it. the salesman wanted me to buy a 33 so I didn't have to buy a bigger trailer and worry about DOT. So glad I made my own decision and didn't let them persuade me otherwise

I should really look into this as anything that can assist in splitting is worth buying. I hate doing firewood to begin with so anything that speeds it up on in favor of.
