Strimech Buckrake gets a set of JCB Q fit brackets
Вставка

- In this video I fit a set of JCB Q fit brackets onto a Strimech Buckrake. Not the most interesting of jobs but one that pays the bills.
The buckrake was designed to fit onto the 3 point linkage on a tractor, however, the customer also wanted to be able to use it on their JCB telehandler as well as keeping the option of the 3 point linkage.
To do this I drew a set of brackets that would weld onto the side of the existing plates but fit around the lower link pin holes. I then cut this bracket out of some 3mm plates to use for a test fit. It didn’t quite fit as intended so some alterations were made to the drawing.
I then brought in some 25mm plate to cut the actual brackets from. I used the flame cutting torch to cut them out as this gives a better result compared to the plasma. The brackets were then cleaned up and lined up on the buckrake. The holes in the brackets didn’t quite line up well enough for the shoulder on the pin to fit through so I had to cut a little bit more out with the plasma hand torch. The brackets also needed some grinding to accommodate for the original welds.
The brackets were then refitted and tacked into place. I swapped wire onto some dual shield wire as its better suited and much quicker than welding vertical up with solid wire.
Last job was a quick spray over with paint.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching.

to be perfectly honest, you dont really have a clue what your doing
None whatsoever
@@snowballengineering pay no attention to haters :)
@pauloneil8912 - thank you. We all hope that you are imagining that you feel better (in your recliner, massaging your mouse).
To he perfectly honest. You don't contribute anything to humanity.
@@snowballengineering Good answer! I Never let that stop me either. Cheers Ollie🍻
The reason I like watching Ollie is because he takes us on the journey of him working out a problem, plus he shows what the part is used for which is always interesting. Then of course hes just a brilliant machinist as well, what you need is a Karen to do all the camera work, just like Curtis has. 😂👍
I actually prefer Ollie to watch as a lot of his jobs are agriculture related ,nice to listen to his explanations etc .
19:45, that’s muscle memory right there 😂😂😂
I noticed the nod as well
That was great that you showed that video of how this buckrake works. It sounded quite complicated when you were explaining it, but the video gave us a clear picture of the device working. What's the saying - a picture is worth a thousand words.
"I'm no an Engineer." Sets off and engineers complex parts. Thanks for bringing us along Oli. Take care & stay safe M8.
Never said I wasn’t an engineer 😉
@@snowballengineering Sorry. Misheard a comment from an earlier vid. TT&SS M8.
@@snowballengineering...no, you're BETTER than an engineer: you make things WORK-(!)
There's a difference...
@dougdavidson175 what are you talking about
26 Voltish! I like that. I also like when the slag just falls off, you know the planets are in alignment . Bloody nice Vertical up welds.
Watching you brings joy to my heart. Your skills and experience grow daily.
Seen that 😂😂 trying to flip your welding mask down when you where using the plasma torch 😂😂 19:35
I look forward to these fantastic videos you send every Sunday. Thank you and hugs from old teacher Luiz Rossi from Brazil.
Brilliant, Snowball Engineering and a coffee in bed, before getting up on a Sunday.
Great video ollie, nice to see the clip of Jamie Alford contracting in there 👌
That thin sheet metal template was a great idea to test the fitment of the bracket so you could alter the design in the CAD program before committing to the real brackets.. Beats a cardboard template.
I’ve pushed many 1000s of tons of grass and maize in the past with Strimech buck rake.
Solid bit of kit.
Top job retrofitting JCB brackets.
Nice job as usual Olly! I'll bet all of you in your local farming community are glad to see some sunshine and dry weather too! 🌞
Definitely!
Make or invest in a PT60 Plasma Circle Cutting Guide. We all made own of these and many other tools as apprentices. I enjoy watching you get on with things and have had many young lads come through our doors that could learn your ethics to the jobs. Lots of positive thoughts coming your way from an old retired codger.
Love the content mate. That cut table sure is paying for itself. Cheers.
I was thinking the same. It’s used in nearly every video. You can tell how much use it gets from the keyboard. 😅 awesome stuff!
That is an elaborate buckrake. The only ones I have ever used were just a frame and a row of tines. Silage time is a good time on a dairy farm. Mowing, harvesting, trailer runs, and clamp making. Good jobs, better weather. If you build your clamp with a JCB load all. You're still going to have to run over the clamp at some point to compact it. But will probably make the process quicker. Don't see any silage making around me. Hay making a bit. But cows out 365 days a year. Only drought reduces the grass feed. And no Winter to worry about.
anybody who actually makes things from scratch as we say IS an engineer , afterall the word engineer means a maker or creator of things , to engineer is to make , a cook is an engineer ...smiles , thanks for the upload , some interesting subjects
Another job out the door. The 'CAD' and flame cutting was excellent. Welding with new materials always has a learning curve, but the increase in the flow of the shielding gas provided much nicer results. Keep up the great work...
Great job! Like how you kept the functionality for tractor hitch .👍 Be Safe!
Nice video Oliver and another fine job 🤙 the old ultimate in low tech dirty finger on a white page trick is how I sometimes get the spacing on holes or whatever it may be like that, can be a right pain measuring on a piece of equipment sometimes
Interesting the cost comparison
Your one of my favourite channels on UA-cam mush. I'm loving your journey and would like to see you get a big insulated workshop with a crane and stuff. You're a top grafter
Great job as usual. Thanks for showing us your CAD skills. My cad skills run along the "cardboard aided design" type. Your explanations are great, keep up the great work.
Back in the 80's, when I was a 10yo, my dad taught me how to drive a forklift just like yours. Just the sound of it brings back some sweet memories. Love your videos man. Greets from the Netherlands.
אלוף האלופים....מקצוען להפליא....בהצלחה חבר,אושר ועושר,אמן🤲💗🇮🇱👍🤝💪
Oliver, coffee, English muffins and big screen puter monitor. Good Sunday morning from across the pond Ollie! Nice work as always.
You can tell this was not designed by an engineer IT works is fairly simple and didn't cost a fortune well done as usual. Nice to know there will be another great video each Sunday morning ❤
Ah, the much accepted method of “well I did squint!” form of welding eye protection. Great work as always.
Good job, sometimes you get asked to manufacture things which are a compromise, you achieved the customers vision. Weird how sometimes watching you I can imagine the smell of welding and machining. My life as a mechanical engineer is sorely missed, but there are a great deal of engineering posts on the interweb of things to keep me entertained. Be safe and well mate 👍
These spray cans are really handy, I use them a lot instead of getting out the spray gun and having to mix the paint up. Good job having the black as well. It matches the rest of the buckrake.
Another interesting job finished and ready to go back to work on a different machine.
Wow, very talented Oliver, Another awesome video, From kiwi land
Mr Snowball!!!!!!! Freaking ❤ this channel!!
Pretty tricky trying to work around those existing brackets so that they could still be used, but you got it sorted out.
Nice welds towards the end.
Best way to start a Sunday! Thanks Oliver. I liked the fact that you kept the tractor functionality. Excellent job as always. Hope you are having a pleasant and peaceful day.
Another quality job ticked off the list. Making a template makes sense to save creating some expensive scrap. The costing feature comes in handy, I've no idea of the price of steel plate. Thanks for sharing your work week. Brian from South Yorkshire.
Hey just subscribed keep it coming your are entertaining a Ozzie boilermaker welder 46 years of it prefer watching than doing and your doing great keep it happening
When welding with flux core u have to slow down a little bit more to let the puddle fill up .Also when weaving pause on ur edges a bit longer it will help from lumping up in the middle and fill in better . Looking great keep up the great work !!! Wish u were my neighbor !!
Sweet computer programs, especially the pricing calcs. That would be a serious plus keeping a shop from missing a part or process and ending up working for free.
Odd you getting this job. A little while ago I tried and failed to explain a buckrake to rice farmers in Thailand. Only recently have they moved away from burning the rice stalks and chaff in the fields to bailing it and a buckrake would be the cats meow for the job. But nobody was able to understand what I was trying to explain. Keep in mind they are barely 40 years removed from plowing with water buffaloes. They use the rice stalk and chaff mixed with fallow field grass as silage to augment dairy cattle feed.
A little suggestion, a trick I learned from taking loftings of boat hulls. Find a central reference point then make your CAD as you are doing. Then check the locations of everything like those holes to the reference point which must be precise. A quick and easy way to double check your measurements. With boat loftings we often take 2 or more of those double check references.
You can read up on taking loftings if interested. The zero tolerance no hit or miss method of designing ship hulls. That is actually what you are doing when making those pieces.
Regarding that wire, if I may make a suggestion. When I run a new wire, rod or welder I run a few passes on flat to get to know it's characteristics. Then I like to find out how hot it likes it, cranking up and down the amps. Dialed down to lumpy bead on up to out of control puddle. Once familiar with it Ill try vertical. It's not like a certain wire or rod always runs the same. Size and age can throw a person some nasty curve balls.
One of the reasons for getting worm holes is not running enough stick out " Nozzle and tip to close to the weld" we run a lot of Dual shield .045 / 1.2 on straight C02, Hobart wire. Great channel and you do quality work. Thank you for the content.
Hello, we use that DW-A50 wire at work as well, and it's definitely a good choice for position welding.
Morning Oliver mate, have a wicked Sunday, thanks for sharing
Engineer is not a protected title. You are for sure an engineer.
Another perfect Sunday with another perfect video from you Oliver
Yhanks for sharing
Oliver, I think it would have been easier to cut slot in the plate rather than the three holes as it only needs to provide clearance for the pin. Good job mate!
I wanted to keep the bracket strong in that area because the locking pin takes a lot of force. A slot would have made it weaker
That hyster tire needs some air!
Nice work on the aux bracket, sir.
Coffee and a snowball first thing on a Sunday morning. Canny beat it. Brilliant Ollie. You are a first class fabricator. Good luck from 🏴
Love your work Olli. Please just keep doing you. Solving problems, engineering solutions and being the fellow you are. Your business is growing, your UA-cam presence is awesome. Wish I had your skill, imagination, creativity and drive. Kind regards from the Kootenay in Canada.
Thank you, I will
Great job nice welding too , shame we didn't get to see it in action 😊😊
I really hope you get an overhead crane in your shop soon. Lifting those heavy items is going to take a toll on your body over time
Good job there Oliver, strange to see you in a t-shirt, so it must be warming up. Was going to ask about the broken crankshaft repair, but you've already answered it. Cheers
Excellent work.
Good to see you Oliver.
Happy Mothers Day to your MuM.
Great way to start my sunday 🎉
Mother’s Day has already been over here 😄
@@snowballengineering oops
Prototyping can be a major benefit.
wonderful as always
Great work as usual, Oliver.
I've found over the years that there's not that much difference between brands of duel core, but they will react differently if your settings are not right.
Gas and power are what you need to get right with your feed rate. So, first set your feed rate up followed by the gas, then up the power until you are happy. If you leave the gas until last, you will almost certainly end up pumping out more gas than you needed to. Waste costs you money, so don't waste it!
Also, the settings you use for one brand of wire will not necessarily work with another brand, so get into the habit of first, buying just one brand of a particular type of wire. Secondly, do a test piece beforehand. That will save you wasting time and money gouging then rewelding. Once you have worked with enough rolls of duel core, you won't need to do test pieces again.
The one thing they all have in common is that you need to make sure you use the right amount of gas according to your feed rate and power setting. Some brands like the ones from China, they will list the details, but more often than not, other brands won't. So, remember, stick to the same brand of wire. Do test pieces until the settings become second nature to you Oliver.
I think I've repeated myself enough in this comment. Time I went to bed. Ive had way too many late nights and early morning starts.
I must be up at 4am. Need to catch an early morning flight to Northumberland to price up a welding job. If they accept my price then my guys will be working in situ.
Ive not done one of those jobs for nearly 2 years so it will be nice to get out of the workshops for a couple of days. Then I'm off to North Wales to price up another in situ job. Like busses, two come at the same time, brilliant especially if we get both jobs.
Can't wait to see part 2 of the crankshaft build. I've got something similar to do but with an industrial sized paper shredding machine. I could use some of your ideas with this one, Oliver. 😁🏴⚒️
Impressive work yet again mate
Fascinating stuff as always Ollie 👍
cheers mate, have a good one
That was a real good job Mate. and nice to see the sun shining over there in old blighty. Good to see the CAD, the cnc cutter and your brain all working good. Have a good week Oliver, see you on your next video.
Thank a lot for sharing, always a pleasure start my sunday with your project 👍👍👍👍
Just wondering. Since the holes did not line up, To make it visually appealing, could you (as the workaround) have cut/joined the 3 holes into 1 long hole and also did some weld inside the long hole? Or would would that affect the strength of the steel in that area?
Nice job looks good 👍😊
I just started learning OnShape. I have designed and 3D printed several useful things and a few useless things. Just models of spaceships from sci-fi stories. Two are even my original designs. I really need to learn it better. I was a draftsman in the Army (back in the early 90s) and I have retained quite a bit more than I thought. But all the experience I had was with paper and pencil on a table. I never used a CAD program. I wish it was more like Adobe Illustrator. I am a graphic designer(ish. It is my degree, but I found myself in instructional design, making online training) and I know Adobe products.
Alsome job, great video..
When you can and if you want, please activate the subtitles in Portuguese. I'm sharing it with friends here and they don't understand English. Thank you
Good morning, great Sunday video with my morning coffee.☕️
When I run that wire, (75% of the time) it tends to run “for me” best at 26-26.5 volts and 410-420 ipm on 35-45cfh
I noticed the head Bob when you were plamza cutting, lol letting the welding helmet down, I do that all the time..19.48.
Favorite Channel 👍
Nice job, Oliver.
I'm enjoying my hoodie. Cheers, mate.
Nice job Oliver and it looks like factory.
2 thumbs up. Great job from " The Shop "
Great job as always. That automatic camera man seems to work very well 😊👍👍
Clean job. Well done.!!!
A good job done young man!
Thank you Oliver 👍
Thks very much for my hoody fits g8 ....nice bit of fab work again been looking forward to the crankshaft build ...
You're pretty good with that CAD work. My son does that with structural engineering, but it's above my pay grade. I've never been able to work it out.
grate show. thanks.
I would have been tempted to add those 3 pin holes later on - using an annular cutter and mag drill, locating them using a transfer punch. Take longer, but maybe less grief?
The paint trapped between the plates turns to gas when heated casing gas to percolate thru the weld when molten causing porosity
My MIG welder is gas-less, so I use flux-core wire. It's only 100A, so if I needed to weld anything that thick, I would use my 250A inverter stick welder.
Great job Oliver! Thank you Gain.
First class job
Another quality job Ollie! 👍👍
With that program do you do your pricing from that or work it out your self
Good day from West Texas. The auto camera works great. Great download, love to watch your thought process. Have a njice day.
:-) see you next week !!
Very nice, I found the fumes off FCore quite rough on one big job I did
Sorry just watching this late been on a tractor run all day another good job well done cheers Olly
With hindsight you could have redrawn and recut the 3mm plate using the single hole (next to the triple) as a reference. Or, just put the shape you cut, back in its sheet on the table and tack it (to stop movement) and rerun the triple holes part of the program. No wastage and it would have satisfied your neatness intolerances. Another great video. Thank you. Bob
i would have been tempted to cut a slot instead of the three holes. Give it a little bit of clearance and then fillet weld the inside to the 3 point support plate. That would have eliminated the need for so much fiddly fitting and would have compensated for the missing webbing between the holes to stiffen the attachment. Just a thought
Olá amigo acompanhando seus trabalhos!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
Hi Oliver, nice solid job mate, just love the finished cut from the table, a real proffessional job as always, thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Nice work mate take care
You know you have it right when it peels it self
On the tolerance for the pins. I’ve learned in construction to ‘give yourself a chance’ if the tolerance is specific ok but if not give yourself an extra (?) 5mm to allow for ‘problems’. Alteration is always a PITA.
