- See part one here: • Replacing centre pivot...
The nightmare job continues! In between some harvest work on the farm.
In this video I line bore the worn centre pivots back to size on the matbro tr250, fit the new pivots and then reassemble the machine.
The job is quite varied, involving: welding, grinding, line boring, making things on the lathe, thread cutting and a good amount of problem solving along the way!

I have said this before, and after watching this marathon I can only say exactly the same again - what you have is very rare these days: TENACITY - just Brilliant Lad - Well done - AGAIN ! + Thank you for all the additional time taken to produce this amazing video Oliver.
Thank you!
like a honey badger lol
Great videos , excellent workmanship , enjoy watching
I love when a person figures out how to solve a problem, rather than finding excuses not to be able to do a job. Very impressive work. Thank you.
What an amazing craftsman to have successfully repaired so many parts that most people would throw in the scrap!
Such a great video to watch a second time, Remember when you first showed this the first time about the TR 250 Matbro 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Oliver. For such a young Lad and
Not having all the Special tools that some just reach into a toolbox for makes you a better Engineer imho.
You look at the problem from a different perspective and make what you need to get the job done. I applaud your ingenuity and positive attitude 🎉
Awesome long video too .
I so look forward to your next challenge.
Be safe n well Mate 👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
@@snowballengineeringyour awesome 🏆
Amen! You got to wonder what this man do with stat-art equipment. He must stay up late putting plans together to get jobs done. He is definitely a master of his tools.
Unbelievable job. Invaluable work for client, hope they appreciate what you have done for them. No amount of money would pay you for the skill and time you took. Great to see you working all out. Keep the videos coming. Wishing you every success with your channel.
Thank you very much!
Your intelligence and ingenuity and of course versitality, are absolutely manifest in this brilliant video! 🤔👌
Excellent work young man, hope you charged them enough.
I hope Kurtis Alllen (CEE) gets to see this, I think he’d be most impressed. Well done Ollie, great work and very entertaining.
What a setup. Very impressed with your skill and ingenuity.
Thank you!
This is what UA-cam is all about. Oliver, I really mean it when I say this is the best video(s) of this kind I have ever watched. You gave us your all..The honest raw grind, your determination..your skills and ingenuity tenacity fearlessness. Your Dad is proud of you for sure. and nice farm you got.Thanks Mate for the videos, looking forward to the next ones.
Thank you very much!
Great 2 parter , love the improv to get the job done , hope the owner watches this to see how you saved him a bunch of cash .
I'm impressed ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was a struggle I can tell, but you really came through and did a great job, as always!
I have worked a bit with laths and milling machinery and it’s hard to appreciate how much time these things take. Just turning out all these small details you need to get the actual job done!
Impressive dedication and workmanship.
Gday, what a bloody job, when you first started I thought it was going to be an absolute nightmare but to your credit you nailed it, one big positive is the knowledge learned is priceless and will be appreciated in the future, absolutely top job mate, cheers
So refreshing, no BS, just a very honest and down to Earth video...."Warts an' All"!
I wouldn't worry about making it 100% perfectly in line. This repair will outlast whatever life is left in the entire machine. Excellent job.
Good job on a tuff one and the removal of the pin on another video, you are determined to finish the job, despite the difficulty of it, I know the feeling when you said "I wished I would have never taken this job"
“Cleverer people than me have designed this” never believe that!!! Most things today are built down to a price rather than up to a standard! For the stresses on that part I would tend to have bored top and bottom to the same size and made it over engineered rather than under engineered, excellent work sir! I have subscribed!
The job alone was mammoth. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and edit it for us. Your channel is becoming a favourite. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Oliver. Very impressive problem solving and well done for getting the job done.
Seems like you're becoming Britain's version of 'Cutting Edge Engineering', and I sincerely hope you charged the right price for the job.
Regards Mark in the UK
I clicked on this video with the intent to stop halfway through and watch it in 2 parts. Well, I just finished the whole thing, great work, it's very interesting seeing how you engineer around the issues.
Absolute determination and dedication. Problem solving second to none.
I enjoyed this immensely.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Two hours of tooth-grinding agony. I was stunned that the broken bolt came out with that extractor. I fully expected the extractor to break off! Excellent job, in any case. Really enjoyed watching this from beginning to end. Thanks for the perfect videos!
That was an epic saga, well done mate. After the in-line boring I think I would have turned sleeves, but your way works too. I disliked getting jobs where I was at the customers premises and the "Slight wear" turns out to be severe wear and I'm left looking for the closest lathe/mill. I think this job will serve you well in the future with the pro's and con's. Great post, thank you so much for sharing 👍👍
Great job!! It's amazing that you were able to maintain your sanity throughout. Been there many times myself and it's rough, but a learning experience
A difficult enough job at the best of times, but having to deal with, and overcome, other peoples bodge jobs just compounds the issue. well done.
That's a proper engineer, making new tooling on the fly. Great progress Olly
Brilliant! Your critical problem solving abilities are amongst the best I have seen over the last 60 years in the industry. Not sure about the economics of repairing that old machine but I trust you worked that out with the customer. 👍
Thank you!
Your gifted man. That's some hardship of a job. customers don't realise the work that goes into some repairs. You have great patience
I love how you show real world issues and then work through them - excellent work!
You made a comment when you got the one broken stud out that it was your first bit of luck on the job. Luck is a good thing but your skill and knowledge beats luck hands down. Keep up the great work!!
I have made a comment, but just watching you….your talented young man👍
Wow.. what a ton of work! I'm exhausted now! lol. I hope you billed the customers handsomely for all your labor, skills and time. Nice job.
I sure hope that Greg Baronian from "On Fire Welding" and Kurtis from CCE see what you are doing here. This is pure genius.
Greg watches sometimes.
Thanks! Although I can’t take credit for the hose trick. I saw it on the portable line boring page on Facebook.
@@snowballengineering Probably before you were born, I was a hydraulic mechanic. I am wondering what would happen with the hose crushing if you could fill it with hydraulic oil and seal it up. I would like to see how you did the "hose ends" where they attach to the boring bar. I am thinking that the oil would still allow the hose to be flexible, but would resist twisting and crushing. Just a thought.
Brill watching for a Sunday afternoon 👍😊
It’s a long one! Hope you enjoy watching.
I see other channels where a guy changes out a wheel bearing in a cars knuckle and the comment section is filled with adoration and applause... I come over here to see real pain and real work.
Great work. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. You watch you will get another couple of the same to repair in the next year! Thank you for documenting what you do 80 mins of true entertainment.
More experience under your belt buddy! Years back my Dad used to help me with harder 2 man tasks, sadly long gone and I get by on my own.. possibly not as safe but still in one piece!👍👍
Nice to see there are still smart young men who aren't afraid of work
Having spent over 10 years as an Agricultural engineering in the 1960/1970 I know that it is the most underrated of professions You Sir are A MASTER
When I first started to watch Snowball Engineering, I though it was a bit amateurish. But after watching more and more of his videos I think he is what this country used to excel at......... dogged determination and making things work. Great to watch as he works his way through problems with the tools he has at hand. It reminds me of when I worked on site fitting steelwork up and having to make it up as I went along because the muppet who was supposed to measure the job couldn't be bothered to climb up a ladder and actually measure the job.
We could do with more young men like him.
Oh I real felt for you on this one. I hope the owner realises how big of a job it was. But in my experience they never do lol
You must have some sleepless nights thinking about the jobs but you always seam to figure things out great videos and you explain everything so people can understand
Blimey! You deserve a medal. I hope you charged a premium price for this work. And I hope you gave the customer a lecture on how a stitch in time saves nine.
As a nearly-retired engineer, I can totally appreciate the amount of work that went into that job. I just hope you were sufficiently recompensed, because the customer never appreciates the effort involved.
I had to laugh at the chopped cable; it's so frustrating when things like that happen. I know what you went through at that moment!
Keep up the good work.
When I see the large piles of wheat I just think it’s fantastic! When I’m over at my neighbours farm, and they’re bring in ..whatever,, I just marvel at the grain. My buddy asked me what what I was doing, when I was just milling around, enjoying the smells and looking at some of the harvest. It’s freaking amazing…. Don’t ever get oblivious to what a great thing it is to make food!
Awesome job! I am thoroughly impressed. I hope your customer was as well, but probably he didn't appreciate it as much as he should have.
Holy Cow! What a job! Great couple of videos, glad you can move on to a more enjoyable project now.
What a great set-up, I think your customer may have been a few years too late in calling you, it is never easy sorting someone else's mistakes, that being said you have moved forward and got the job done, and given us some great content in the process.
Fabulous channel -- very interesting content, and you are clearly both a naturally talented and well-experienced craftsman. I'm quite impressed watching you address unexpected obstacles. No surprise that you get frustrated, but you've shown many times how you calmly and clearly approach resolution. Well done!
Great skill at overcoming somewhat impossible obstacles. Hope you sent the customer a link so they can see just how much work was required
Impeccable skills. Your local community is certainly lucky to have you! 👏🇦🇺
“Cleverer people than me” im not saying your right but that attitude is great to watch and learn from.
You should get an award for that job. I hope the client gets to see the video of how much care you put into that cowboy mess. Congratulations on you trade prowess. I enjoy your videos immensely. Keep up the good work.
WOW. Well done. You are a true machinist. If you don't have what you need, you make it. Thank you. Watching you is worth my time.
job well done there Snow, just remember to watch your back when lifting things around your head and shoulder.👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic job Oliver ~ your ingenuity and problem solving are on another level mate. Just an idea if you face a 1/4" off the overall length of the Nylock hex nut it may help it to function properly. Many thanks for a great project and once again well done 👍🏻
Hi Oliver , this job has been a grueller for you, and we've been whith you every step of the way, boy have you had some problems to overcome, but you've made a silk purse out of a sows ear and fixed it using your skill and determination to do a good job, full mark's Oliver, and many thanks for taking us along, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Man... this was a very interesting job to watch! Thanks for showing and sharing what and why you do it that way!
The thing about jobs you wish you never started is that you often learn the most from them. That one made you use most of the skills in your arsenal. A lot of thought process and improvisation. In the end a job to be proud off. The biggest thing to to learn though. Is don't volunteer to do another one. Very enjoyable videos. Thank you.
Excellent work - this really was an exceedingly difficult situation for line boring. I think you mastered this really well.
And: boy, did we learn something about what makes a maintenance friendly machine! This here was certainly not one of them. You certainly earned the evening beverage of your choice that day...
You sure nailed that one, fighting through all the difficulties to come out on top in the end. It might be something you wish you hadn't taken on, but you had the victory over it, which is the most important thing. There must be a lot of satisfaction in accomplishing the near impossible.
Well done, what an absolute head scratching ball ache of a task, good to.see how you've adapted and overcame the challenge tho!
Love the longer vids too. 👍
Filming whilst dealing with all the other issues. Legendary.
A lot of profanities come to mind with a bugger of a job like this one. One can always tell by the mess in the shop post completion. Kudos to you for persevering.
A fantastic job and demonstration of patience and innovation, I bet its a while before you accept another one. People do not know how much damage they are doing letting it go so long without fixing. If you give the owner a dvd video of the job to see how much work was involved he cannot complain about the cost and should realise that next time get it fixed earlier.
I am proud of you a young man doing what you do is amazing.
Am liking your boring tool, really practical and can be used for all sorts of spaces. 👍
Very creative solution using hydraulic hose as a flex drive.
Nickname for that machine should be "The Battle Axe" cause everything was a battle to fix!
Tons of work...but worth it in the end.
Awesome job!
Keep em coming!!!!
English proverb 'Necessity is the mother of invention'.... you do this saying justice....amazing creativity
Well Oliver that was a mission, you're so hard on yourself you always show if you make a error no one else does this they kid there selves that they are super but all the best as you're the best regards
Using that hydraulic hose for a flexible coupler is absolutely genius! I’d never seen that before.
That's a big job! Well done. A great advertisement for that hydraulic hose too!! God bless
Fantastic job young man, you should be proud of yourself! From the Midwest USA.
The owner of this vehicle cam to the right guy
Hydraulic hose as a flexible shaft, what a great idea👍
I can’t claim it as my own. I saw the idea on the portable line boring page on facebook.
What a solid gold job that was mate - hope the customer realises the work that went into that.
I admire your resilliance in the face of all those problems. That job has to be worth a couple of grand.
Oliver What a great effort you put in to rectify someone else's bollixed job !! I hope you charged a premium price.
You are a very clever young man. It's a shame that only old gits like me watch these educational videos. Come on young people, you could learn a well paid trade!
Just started watching your channel and I have to say you are very clever thinking outside the box. Good Job
Well what an epic job that was. Had everything in it. Your skill and patience are a credit to you. You must be one of the few people who could have taken that job on I think everyone else would have run mile. When you cut the threads you do not have to use the thread dial at the end of the cut back the tool off reverse the lathe still locked in and start again.a tool maker showed me that. Because the thread dial on his lathe was covered in grease you could not see the numbers. When I asked him he looked at me and said don't need it. Lol. You must be the go to man for all the farmers in your neck of the woods. Well done😁❤
I’ve tried the reverse way but didn’t have much luck. The thread didn’t seem to match up the same.
Wow what a bright young man with great work ethic. Your parents must be very proud, I know I would be.
You need to give yourself a pat on the back. the customer must be well pleased, and you saved him a small fortune well done. I hope he appreciates the work you’ve put in to keeping the loader working
Podziwiam wytrwałość ,wiedzę i silną wolę skończenia tego ,czego się podjąłeś .Genialne.
At 36:25 my fear came true ! Was concerned that wear on female pair of pin holders were not concentrically aligned with male borings. But you put my mind to rest. IMPRESSED !!
That was a massive undertaking but your ingenuity and perseverance was unmatched by any other youtuber.
Thank you!
What a bastard of a job. Well done for persistance.
I marvel at your skill and the art of mastering metal. Your mechanical ingenuity is only exceeded by your patience and persistence for perfection.
I appreciate the video. Now that i am disabled I can’t do this type of work any more.
Man what a battle ! But you persevered! I hope you charged them enough for all that work !
Oliver you have overcome existing problems along with those that cropped up , as was seen it had been repaired before (functional ) but you have taken it back to near manufacturer finish , a job that kept throwing problems at you well done .If the customer grumbles at the cost get him to watch the video .
What a pain in the ass that job was. Hopefully it was worth it in the end. Great job
Adapt and overcome. Good man. Well done. Yer a real hard worker and im sure ywr dad is proud of ya. Yer videos are real good watching!!!
Very good fix not easy and saved the chap a fortune, charge him extra as it saves scraping the machine.
With this job, if you did not have bad luck, you wouldn't have had any luck at all! A long hard job, but you kept your head and came out on top. Nothing but admiration - great to see and watch.
Wow, what a pain on the ass of a job but you stuck to it and prevailed in the end. At one point you commented that people smarter than you designed that beast of a machine, I'm not so sure about that. 👍🏻🍺
Amazing repair with so many roadblocks and horrible previous repairs, you managed to sort it out better than new. Well done. I'm always confused at how the cones set the line bore up correctly with terribly damaged bores and even this time you had a problem. I hope you can give a more detailed explanation of how this works/doesn't work in the future. Thanks for a great video
Your persistent to a finish job is number one
