Drawbar repairs on 18tonne Stewart trailer. Part 2

  • Part 2 of taking the slack out of a Stewart trailer drawbar.
    The pivots on the trailer are line bored out to 60mm. This is done by using a short boring bar coupled with a flexi drive to make up for the offset of not being able to get square on.
    The drawbar itself is put onto the radial arm drill and reamed out to 60mm with a big reamer.
    A new pin is made but with a grease hole down the middle so the middle pivot can actually be greased.
    The tailgate ram is removed and new ball joints are installed.
    The drawbar is then refitted with a well greased pin and the last job is to refit the tailgate ram.
    Hope you enjoyed the video.
    Thanks for watching

    Thanks for 12 months of brilliant content Ollie. Have a very merry Christmas and an even happier New Year, all the best from Huddersfield.
    I noted that your line borer was starting to get some surface rust, I found a rust prevention spray called Sta-bil Stop Rust which seems to work very well. The UK distributor is in Dewsbury just do a search on the above name, they will be in the top 10 results for the UK.

    As usual, Oliver, great content and ingenious solutions to problems cannot believe it`s twelve months since you started the channel, I don`t think the North Yorks farming community realises what a gifted engineer they have amongst them, looking forward to watching you in 2024, all the best Oliver.

    @paulhammond7489 6 місяців тому +7

    I'm sure that Ollie is already aware that the grease he applied to the draw bar pivot is more than likely the last grease that will be applied before the next repair on that trailer... But hey-Ho, the lack of maintenance on this sort of equipment will keep a good job-shop like Ollie's in business for a long time. BTW I now have to go back and watch all your earlier content, including manufacturing your shop-made line boring kit. Merry Christmas Ollie

  • @782sirbrian
    @782sirbrian 6 місяців тому +18

    Thanks for sharing your work Ollie, you work to a high standard. The head cam should be used sparingly, not a fan of the quick movements. I'm like other comments, feeling a bit seasick if it's used for a long time.
    All the best for Christmas and the New Year, Brian from Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

    The head camera gave us a good view of what you are looking at, but a tip is to try to remember to turn your head slowly. I was OK with it, but some people get seasick if the motion is too quick from side to side.

    Best thing I ever bought for greasing difficult spots is a Lock -N -Lube . It locks on the zerk and then you can pump with two hands. Lock-N Lube is $30 a cordless grease gun is $300. If your good I'm shure Santa can Squeeze it in. Merry Christmas. 🍻

    The head camera view is good, though obviously it can be bothersome with it moving so much. Most video editing software can stabilize a video clip. Only takes a few minutes to let that run and your head cam footage would be excellent.

    Great video awesome work, some tips on the head camera. I am fine with the head camera except for two places, at the lathe and when you sped up the video hammering. The first should be relatively easy to have a dedicated camera mount on the wall behind the lathe maybe with additional light that should make set up process quick and easy. And the later just don't use it while hammering something that makes the whole image shake and especially if you also speed up the video. I am all for increasing productivity while still making videos good luck and happy Christmas!
