Making A Replacement Spindle For An ASV Skid Loader - Manual Machining
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- I have never been one to like skid loaders. Infact, I think they are the single most useless machine ever built. That said, the older ASV machines are actually capable of doing real work. Generally, I recommend people not fix skid loaders and buy a small wheel loader, but in this case, I make an exception.
The older ASV machines have a very robust undercarriage, and it is rare for one to fail. But this one did, and my customer had just bought the machine. So, I get to make him a new spindle. Starting with a drop of 1045 TG&P, I turn out a replacement with no drawing. This is a common task for a repair machine shop. Drawings are a luxury I rarely see.

I like your channel because we see actual jobs being done for customers. A lot of the UA-cam lathe and milling machine channels spend most of the time making add-ons for equipment they own or trying to come up with new ideas to make machinists hammers or fixture plates etc. Nice to see a real world person doing real jobs.
BIG CHIPS! LOL I love it.... it makes some of the viewers go nuts.... 'you're pushing your machine too hard....'. The only drawback is that you didn't use an adjustable wrench in this video! 🤣😂
Maybe this is a silly question, but: When you set a piece of material like in this video up in the lathe, do you need to indicate it? Why I'm asking: The machining end obviously gets round and true from the roughing cuts (so I'd guess no indicating needed), or do you have to stay in the "middle" of the new material (e.g. because of how the center gets rolled in the foundry)? Or is all that theoretical at best and for this part it's more than plenty fine either way? Thank you! :)
I have made a few of those things over the years. Also shafts for the boogie wheels too. Repaired the frame bores and general rebuild work. ASV is indeed a good machine, the undercarriage is a bit archaic in my way of thinking, but they work and work great. An ASV or other tracked skid loader is like crack cocaine. Once your hooked you cannot go without it!
I'm gunna a 50 year old kid and say, I kinda wish Josh's last name was Tapper.
superstar !!!! Someone please send this man a khaki Rolls Royce dust jacket with the RR on the pocket
You are the first person I have seen that doesn’t use three times more AnchorLube than he needs.Every time I see someone glob that stuff on, I shake my head.
Josh, you are talent on loan from God. I am a hobbyist and am grateful for all your content. Thank you.
Fascinating video! Can I suggest, if it works with your plans, that you do a video about basic safety around machine tools? I can't recall ever seeing one and I think it would be helpful to beginners like me. I'd like to try machining, but without knowing what not to do it's intimidating. Those machines need to be respected. Thank you!
Hi Josh, Another good video with practical content. I have a couple of comments being a machinist. I am a fan of 4 jaw chucks and the job would not have moved in the 4 jaw. Also I was surprised you didn't use any lube on your thread cutting. Now I will put my SecoTools hat on. The point of the threading tool is subjected to high temp during the cutting process and this can cause tool failure, not to mention the surface finish. I always had a tin of oil and a paint brush and brushed oil on the thread during the cut and it worked well. Cheers Ian
Kind of blew my mind to watch you freehand those totally respectable radiused transitions. Bravo.
Well done!
Happy days Josh, proper job well done, always enjoy watching these kind of parts being made, thats another machine back up and running, thanks for sharing buddy and best wishes to you and yours 👍
I just love how the frame rate makes it look like the lathe is in reverse!
I wish I had learned machining when I was younger. Another great video!!
Gorgeous surface finish. Almost nobody gets a mirror when hogging off that much metal. Nice job!
Good job.
Very nice work your customer should be pleased !
That radius blending freehand was beyond impressive! Nice stuff!!
I know you are not lying about the Lion, you told us why, and its good to see your integrity. Thanks for another interesting video
