Токарный станок- наследие СССР. Запчасти опять же русские. Эх, Русь-матушка весь мир снабдила! Автор молодец! И руки откуда надо растут и голова на плечах! 👍
Don't think I have ever seen a two inch drill bit before and I worked of two years as aprentist machinist that was A long time ago .My little lath wouldn't even spin that .Only turns 9 inches .People don't realize how long it takes to machine pieces like that .Great job
young man using a lot of hand tools and an older lathe you have an amazing talent for fabricating what you want, excellent engineering skills and forward thinking in your build of the tracked vehicle you are building ,looking forward your next video.
One thing I’m wondering about is why not make holes on flanges so yoke collar is a tight fit,then welded both sides? I’ve done it that way on field repairs and is much cleaner and stronger. I was a mobile mechanic for farm industry at one point in my life.
Desde o modo como você usa as ferramentas até o acabamento das peças da pra ver que você é um profissional e sabe o que está fazendo. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho executado.
Not like it's going to turn high rpms but I still would've turned som scrap to align that u-joint to disk hub adapter thing. Build looks great so far. Why I enjoy watching these is it proves there are still resourceful people.
If you want your pto shafts to last you really should machine a shoulder on the universal end you are mounting on the hub plate and locate it in a machined pocket. From my experience in vibration analysis if there is any runout of your yokes it creates axial forces long the shaft which wreck bearings or wear out the sliding shafts. I saw a V10 diesel make like a grenade in a ski lift because of a similar fault with a fluid coupling. That aside, cool project, cant wait to see how it comes together. Always wondered how to shorten a diff housing.
Sad an armature machinist I really love the workshop you have, and the care you obviously take with your tools shows. I’m really enjoying this build! Thanks for sharing!
aw yeah angle grinders rule !! and take that abom, don't need shapers or mills. just an angle grinder an old russian lathe and vernier calipers :-) love it !

Хорошо, что остаются еще люди которые работают руками, а не осваивают (воруют) бабло! За советский 1к62 и другой инструмент - бальзам на душе, не все еще сдали на металлолом!

If I may offer a suggestion for those "U" joint bearing caps, pack them full of grease, remove the plug or grease fitting for assembly. This holds the needle bearings in place while, at the same time, filling the entire U-joint full of grease, hence, won't need to grease when completely assembled since you "pre" greased. Am truly enjoying this build, looking forward to seeing the video. Cheers :)

I have to say that you have a back for building. Machine s that would cost a fortune if you bought them God has given you skills. That alot of machine shop s are looking for 👁️👁️😎😎😎😎😎. PS can't wait to see you get the product finished 😀
Can't wait either. But things take so darn long time to fabricate when filming too. It would take third the time to fabricate if I wasn't filming anything. But then you wouldn't see what I'm doing. 😀
I helped with a stainless steel sculpture a few years back. Three five-meter tall gum leaves. I did 180 meters of tig welding to finish it. We started out using general-purpose gas but then got some pure argon. I didn't notice a difference (still learning ) but then the argon ran out and we went back to the GP gas. I couldn't weld with it. Hated it. We got more argon after that. Lol

Excellent work. FYI: many universal joint bearing caps are factory ground with a slight taper, being larger at the closed end. It's good practice to always press them outwards to not potentially stretch the yoke bores.
Great videos 👍 I can see four things in your workshops future, a saw to chop large bar, a linisher, an outside work bench and an awesome amphibious vehicle!! Amazing work😎
Boa noite ,olha que bacana ver o seu trabalho, eu trabalhei 42 anos como torneiro mecânico, torneiro ferramenteiro ,eu gostei de mais ,lembrei das peças que usinava ,tinha algumas que lembra essas ,tudo de bom SP Brasil .
I work for a steel company with a plasma table that could make parts. Also have access to a lathe,but still prefer to do my home projects totally at home. Cut close to shape with a grinder,bolt multiple identical pieces together,then grind some more. Takes time but I get far more satisfaction from doing it all myself the old way.
So you have me curious, Is the gas your using 90% argon 10% Co2? Because if so, the welding type your achieving is actually Spray arc instead of the normal Short arc, judging by the weld profile after it looks like it, which is great! It has better penetration, burns in hotter, smoother, and it makes a hissing sound instead of a bacon frying sound while welding. It's excellent for this application!
3:37 you should invest in a set of transfer punches. Would make laying out all of those holes a lot easier and they would be dead nuts on. I'm enjoying your project can't wait to see it run.
It is nice, but we have acquired these tools over more than a decade with my father and grandfather. It wasn't that we woke up in one morning and bought everything at once. So do not get overwhelmed by the tools, you can always have more. 😄
I really liked your older videos where you narrated as you did the jobs. The doing with what you have is right up my alley and I do enjoy your content but still you did a good job narrating and it added much to the presentation. Take care. Doug
Hey Donn, you got it going “your” way. I’m sure you will have it running your way also and it will be pretty good as you say. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing with us. Keep up the good work and videos.
I share a lot of your videos with other metal heads. On my toes for next one as I can't marathon these like the saw mill build. As always Donn, love it... they aught to put a button for love on these as they make a cabbage head think
Don't like welding galvanized steel? It's all right if YA do it out side lots of air .Not sure how you would make out welding with mig out side would blow all your gas away.I have welded lots of it over the years with a ARC welder and 6011 rods .Key point out side .Awsome as always your a talented young man .Love your vidios keep them coming

I'm just making sure I'm not getting my personality or (lack of) humor mixed in the work and projects I'm presenting on this channel. Some people might not like me personally but maybe they're still interested in the work I do. Subtitles is a neutral way of passing on information. It's just a calculated decision.

How are you planning to drive straight with this setup. With an open differential power will be put to one wheel only, meaning that you will just drive in circles. Unless I am missing something, but I don’t think it will work.
Hey Donn, Have you considered using some kind of clutch packs for steering instead of just brakes? with the differential active, when you apply brakes on one side, the other side will turn at twice the speed, making for rather violent/ fast turning reaction. What do you think?
I have thought about it. I did quite extensive research on different solutions for the tracked vehicle steering. I want to keep it light so I'll try it out with only differential and side brakes. If this doesn't work as planned I can always change stuff.
I like that you put subtitles on your videos. I can watch them without sound.

PTO shaft was made from cast steel which contains more carbon than normal steel and less than cast iron. So this material is suitable for welding and use MIG with MIX gases was very good choice.
