So nice to see extremely high quality artefacts being restored and loved. Just looking at these things tells of a time when men were more capable. Yes, men and I'm not ashamed of mentioning 50% of all the genders that were alive when this lathe was built.
No that’s a Jim Dandy video. Just stumbled across you. Really enjoyed it, no dumbass music and the narration was excellent and honest. Thanks for sharing. Looks amazing. Top shelf
My dad was a machinist at the company that made and manufactured that black tape. When he retired we had 100’s of rolls. It was great for gripping baseball bats and hockey sticks. I still have boxes of it today, it’s amazing.
I've been doing this stuff for over 45 years, and I watch a lot of these kind of videos. I just found your channel and it's great to watch someone who "actually" knows what they are doing. Thanks for a great watch !!!
Good to see Gary working on the Monarch. Although I have to admit that I would never have thought the stator could survive a trip through a heated parts washer, but I respectfully bow to your superior knowledge. Sounds and looks good enough to run for another 65 years.
Very enjoyable; took me back to 1976 when I worked for Monarch as an engineer fresh out of school. Although I wanted to work on CNC tools, I wound up doing custom design work on the 1620 and similar lathes; boy they were beauties!
Just wanted to mention about poplar lumber, if you’re talking about ‘tulip’ poplar, we are in North Carolina where the major early succession species is tulip poplar. We settled our village (Earthaven) on 320 acres of second growth forest populated by mostly juvenile poplar and red maple forest, with some southern yellow pine and hemlock. The topography is mixed with only about 40 acres flat agricultural land and several different areas of buildable south facing slopes. We wanted to leave at least two thirds of the land in forest in which to practice timber stand improvement logging, and build our infrastructure out of the timber removed for clearing. We didn’t have much choice but to use what we had. So we built the community center council hall and the first ten or so houses out of a lot of green poplar lumber. It’s fine. A little harder that the spruce and yellow pine that’s conventional around here, but not too much.
Thanks Paul. I’m sure they were trying to cut down on some weight. When the bells are in place they’re very strong, it’s just when you need to disassemble the motor is when things can go bad real quick. Always nice to have you stop by the channel. Gary
I did not blink an eye for the whole forty minutes duration of your captivating video and out of the ordinary knowledge and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery. I've had the right hip replaced twice and the left once. At 81 I'm still running around (somewhat slower than in the past) and having fun. Best wishes from Germany.
Years ago I had a shop. I had to have a motor serviced. I had thought of doing it myself but decided to take it to another shop that also rewound the motor. When the company had finished with their work they had rewound the motor, changed out the bearings, and repainted the motor while saving the etched legend plate. This was in the City of Sacramento, the company was Van Alstyne Electric and in some form they are still in business today but, I don't know if they rebuild motors. After they had finished rebuilding my motor it had been brought back up to its full horsepower rating where, when I had taken the motor in, it had lost about a quarter of a horsepower so; definitely rewinding motors makes a big difference. I put the motor back in the machine tool and clearly it made the machine look old.
Great job Gary. I have rebuilt several motors and washed them as well. Luckily, like you, I lived in a warm part of the country at the time. Didn't take too long to dry every thing out. Fans and a heat lamp can be used to dry them out as well. The air movement really drys them out. Out of caution, I generally gave them about 5 days, longer if it was colder. So satisfying to see one of these motors run and run smoothly. There was a time when rebuilding, including rewinding motors was very common. Today, with the high cost of labor, we are a disposable society. What a shame. Thanks very much for sharing. Take care.
i bought a standard modern 10 inch utilathe and lovingly restoring it, the motor was fried(years of metal chips inside) I got it rewound and all that good stuff but its true most people would rather get a new lathe than learn to fix an old one with probably a few centuries more life left in them( that's how I got it lol so I'm not complaining too much)
just found you, subbed. no pounding drums or swirling whooshing intrusive background shit noise just engineering at it's best. Good to see someone who knows how to tighten bolts diagonally not in a circular pattern. Great vid will be watching your back catalogue. thank you
Gary, I put a sheet over the BP, the Tormach and the lathe after each use. It's been wet in SoCal this year and no flash rust. Takes seconds to put on, seconds off. Plain sheet, not a motorcycle cover or any plastized or rubberized thing. Just an old bed sheet. Keeps dust and dirt off too.
Your standard…awesome video production/discussion/demonstration/build, certainly nice to have the commerical shop facilities but it still takes an experienced talented mechanic/machinist
Chuck, you have always been a big support to not just my channel but to many other channels as well. I know I always appreciate it very much my friend. Gary
Hi Gary. I really have enjoyed your videos. I just scored a 20x78 series 61 I’m super excited about it. I was nervous it would have a broke shifter fork but much to my relief everything is good in the headstock! I’m hoping you will have some more monarch content in the future. I’m going to go all the way though this thing and replace any worn or broken parts. My goal is to eventually make it like new. I would love to be able to compare notes, I know your monarch is very similar to the one I got. Thanks!
Hey Gary. Check out Polaris connectors instead of split bolts. They are fully insulated and come in many sizes. The cats meow for splicing and tapping larger conductors. I hate wrapping split bolts. In particular in tight spaces like electrical enclosures. All the best, Tom
Ralfy, I just wish I had more time to spend on it. You definitely get your share of jumping around from project to project I bet. Your eye seems to be healing up nicely. Always nice when I see you stop by the channel, hope you’re having a great weekend. Gary
Saturday morning, and I'm enjoying a nice cup of coffee while watching your video. Thank you! I've wrapped a large bearing in a moistened paper towel and microwaved for a slip on fit.
I have a induction bearing heater that works very well, but sometimes I like to just press them on. Gives me a better feel for what kind of fit they have. Thanks for watching. Gary
Great to watch some real old-school professionals, the wiring job you did was superb, that motor is going to be like from the factory. I used to do bigger motor jobs for a giant laundry and commercial wool-dying plant, they can be very heavy. Love the channel🤠
A nice Wash Cabinet will definitely spoil you. The one I show in the videos is our smaller cabinet that holds 60 gallons. I also have the exact same cabinet at home. But at work we also have 160 gallon Wash Cabinet outside which I have not shown yet. We run much harsher chemicals in the big cabinet so it strips everything. Always nice to have you stop by and check out the videos. Gary
So satisfying to see a machine part made 65 years ago restored to almost new and ready for work again, just makes me wonder in 20-30 years time will anybody still be doing this or will they have all gone to that machine shop in the sky
I'm quite sure Miss Mona Monarch Will be very happy when she gets her Spiffy newmotor Installed so she can show off her abilities. Great video I really enjoyed it
Thanks very much for another excellent video. Since I am not an experienced machinist you videos are particularly valuable to me. I am always impressed by the clever ways that you do things and the assured manner in which you do them. I liked the way you threaded the holes to get the end bells off and the way you solved the problem of the old cloth-insulated wires. That big old motor is as good as new. Best wishes from Germany.
I might suggest the first thing after drying the stater, should have been a hi-pot test. Could save a lot of agony in the future, or even your life. Great video.
ya say there's still a chance for my ol' 4 HP ! Love them split bolt connectors for a secure connection ... ( and mainly 'cause I got a life-time supply of rubber wrapping tape to use up ). Congrats on hitting that 7K subscribers mark ! ... 70% of the way to that soon to come 10K mark !
Glad Tom mentioned your channel! This content is right up my alley... I maintain nature gas compressors at a gas storage facility... we have three ingersoll rand SVG's and three KVG compressors, unfortunately they don't need the kvg's anymore so I am scrapping them... they ran great before we stopped using them about 2 years ago... Would you be interested in any parts?
You did a nice job, I used to work in a rewind Shop years ago. Sometimes companies would have us put in grease Xerx for the bearings and weep hole with a plug in the other hole. We would unshield the bearings on one side Then they could Add grease as needed. my understanding was it kept the inside from getting all greased up and extended the life of the bearings. When you regrease the bearings you would pull the plug and let the old grease pump out.
You mentioned about how some people would be nervous about washing the windings. Getting a good dry on them is the key… BUT.. BUT… if you didn’t get a good dry…. You would find out very fast when the lacquer insulation paint went on.. it would pull that water to the surface… and give a good signal that more drying is needed.
Gary, what a treat, I have been waiting for this one since I saw the video of you and Mike at the auction site. It is such a pleasure to see the job done correctly and great idea on the wire numbering tags. Good job on the edit and story telling too. Best, Rich
Rich, I just wish I had more time to dedicate to the Monarch. I just got too many irons in the fire, but making a little progress. Appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to check out the video. Gary
Good video Gary. I had to do the exact thing to the 4hp/8hp Brooks motor on my Colchester 17. I got some SprayOn brand Glyptol paint from McMaster Carr. They seemed to be the cheapest. -----Doozer
Immediate subscription. You're a natural sir. Keep doing what your doing and in 1-2 years you will be hugely successful. Assuming that is your aim. Its going to take 1 - 3 uploads per month to maintain though.
I enjoyed seeing the cleaning cabinet change the color of the stator from black to red. :-) Nice work. Seeing the internals made me start thinking about the ratio of the radius to the length. It seems to me that a large diameter will give greater torque for the same amount of magnetic push. I'm guessing the trend has been toward smaller diameters, but longer, to get the same power. Just a guess!
13:58 that housing shows that bearings has been dancing in that bore. It would have been good to add a bit of loctite to that one to fill that extra clearance and make it last longer.
Brian, on this particular motor the bearings press onto the shaft and have a slip fit in the bells. Anytime I see anything that has a slip fit it always leaves a weird pattern to it. Once cleaned the bearings fit the Bores in the bells like they were designed for. Being the bells were so thin I really did not want to put Loctite on them for fear of the next guy not being able to get them apart without breaking or cracking something. It’s always nice to have you stop by the channel Brian. Gary
@@OldIronMachineWorks Good point about the risk of breaking it on the next disassemble. One end has to be allowed to float anyway to allow for thermal expansion.

Damn that was a good vide, just an honest guy doing honest work and keeping old things still running, well done.
Thank You, I appreciate the kind words. Gary
I did notice one thing, if you had a longer extension you could of remove the end bell from across the street. Nice job.😊😊😊😊😊
I was thinking he was being polite and staying out of the shot with that long extension. A real pro move in video production.

Very nice and instructional video. Thanks!!
Good to see Gary working on the Monarch. Although I have to admit that I would never have thought the stator could survive a trip through a heated parts washer, but I respectfully bow to your superior knowledge. Sounds and looks good enough to run for another 65 years.
Thank you Paul. I don’t get a lot of time to work on the monarch, but a little progress is better than none.
Me too- I was wondering whether the insulating material encasing the wire groups slotted into the stator were able to withstand washing?
Very enjoyable; took me back to 1976 when I worked for Monarch as an engineer fresh out of school. Although I wanted to work on CNC tools, I wound up doing custom design work on the 1620 and similar lathes; boy they were beauties!

I learnt a lot from that Gary. Amazed how light those end bells were. A hoist is an absolute must have with a 300lb motor. Great vid thanks.
Me too Paul, his ethic and knowledge are bob on
