Keith working on stuff like that is why I have a bad back we used to call work like that as bull work, it wasn't that bad of work the only thing we was always pushed for time to get fixed and back on the line.
I stopped the radio music in background because, the artist wouldn't tip me! LOL NO! I respect the rules no mater how silly and removed all that had been flagged and redone them, with and exception of one and will repair it and republish in the future. I miss it also, but it really served or was my getting in front of a crowd crutch! ;{)-----
Yes, the floor has no stone in it, and only four inches thick, with cracks, so I bought 3/4" plating to set the machinery on, to be able to support them solid and level. ;{)-----
Boy, the sound of the ratchet turning and knocking produced a somewhat pleasing percussion of sounds. Perhaps, Mr. Fenner, you may wish to explore the idea of using the sounds produced by your work in a creative musical works?
Thank you for the video but wonder why UA-cam recommend me jackshafting , I don't know what that means even watching few minutes of the videos(all parts).
CUTTING WHEELS 6'' X 0.45 X 7/8 Lehigh Vally Abrasives Get yourself some of thses cuting wheels for on your grinder they are a life saver. they cut anything like butter
Yea, customer calls on the phone," Hey we got a jack shaft, that we are changing out the Sheaves and have all new components to replace everything, we are to busy, you want to handle that for us?" ;{)-----
I have in the past saved some and given most away, or the customer wants to hang on to them! There never seems to be a shortage of people that want them and the project they get used in. ;{)-----
Thanks for the comment! Penetrating oil has no effect on hard true metal to metal taper fits. If they are not seated right and are held together with or by rust, it may help! ;{)-----
My carbon-arc is hanging on the wall and we had the rain here when I started the job, hence wanting it inside. Thanks for the comment, but the air-arc is not and inside tool! LOL ;{)-----
The main reason for the removal is to replace the sheaves, they are worn out by rusting from the outside atmosphere under a shroud cover, in between uses, over a period of time. ;{)-----
Thanks for the feed, Rick, I'll try the prying method next time I come across the same need if that ever happens, I am for keeping the shop cleaner! ;{)-----
I,am an oil field mechanic in Ohio. A lot of my work is in the field, But most of the work is done in my shop thank the lord. going on close to 30 years now, Thing is there is always time to learn something new. To put it in a nut shell that,s why i watch Keith, Caus i dont know it all, and never will. It,s just great to learn something new.
You caught that Keith, Before you broke the hub. Good thinking. To tell you the truth I have been bitten in the butt because the little set screw got me.
How you stay calm when it is hot and everything is going wrong at the end is amazing I was saying all the swear words for you I have Faith that the next video It shall be off there
I would have flipped out and took a jack hammer to it a long time ago.. I am watching every minute though.. man you are patient and seasoned in this line of work!
Hey my friend, You could have saved yourself a lot of time and headache if you used a Carbon-Arc/ Air-Arc. With that you could have cut the outer ring/the bearing roller cage and groved the inner race in three places and your puller would have slid the race right off. All in about 5 minutes per end. Grandpa Bill
Yea I hate it when those QD flanges break off usualy caused by some idiot lubing the taper or over torquing the thing when it was installed! Back and forth 1/16 of a turn at a time, takes patience but you already know that! Love your vids
I feel for you, it's too hot for hard work over here right now too. Please pardon a stupid question but why do you need to take the pulley sheaves off the shaft to change the end bearings?
I might be late to the party here. But the inner taper lock piece seems to be what they used to locate with. The set screws were used to register the interlock at predetermined locations and the sheaves were not used to register the position. That would explain why the set screws or tighten down before the sheets were put on the shaft. That would make the inner taper lock position the critical measurement For positioning the sheets.
Ha Ha. Still a bit crazy for the money they spent on labour to tear it down you could have made a new shaft and had it all pre assembled to minimise downtime to a couple of hours and still had a usable emergency backup assembly. Presumablly the machine is not a 365/ 24/7 item. In the mining industry here in Aus. downtime is a big NoNo. For example one dump truck out of service can cost $1000's per hour in lost production
Keith, How do you price a job like this, where there is alot of knock-down before you know the total damages? Do you charge a knock-down fee up front and then let the customer decide after full pricing ? Thanks again KJK
Interesting series of videos, something a bit different. I was wondering what you do with things like those bearings (assuming you get them off in one piece)? Obviously their working life is over but they look like they still basically work and I'm sure I and plenty of other people could think of a dozen things to do with them if they only have scrap value.
Dear Mr. Keith, I was wondering, how much would a job like this cost me? (if you prefer answering by personal message here on UA-cam that's just fine, or by e-mail, however you feel comfortable). Thanks a lot in advance, always a pleasure seeing a craftsman at work!
That allen wrench trick was funny as hell. I was watching and then, I was like, what the heck just happened. But you kept working without laughing or anything. I had to watch it again, to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. That made me literally laugh out loud.
Amazed at your coolness under pressure. I would have used every known swear word at least a dozen times by now. You get a tough job like this and you still have time to video and edit it for all us armchair mechanics out there. Thanks for taking the time and trouble..it's appreciated.
phew, this is tense stuff! And I'm knackered just watching u Keith lol. Great series and ive learnt soooo much. Keep them coming please Keith. I hope the family is doing ok. And a speedy recovery for your father, my thoughts and best wishes are with you all :-)
Hey Keith, I think it's time you invested in a new impact wrench don't you. Yours has done you an excellent joy down through the years, and deserves to work on light stuff. You need a good Ingersoll Rand, that will help you the most.
I had to laugh when you got the second pulley off and I saw how it worked. We have a company in the UK here who make these taper pulleys. Yeh you guessed it, the company is called Fenner!!
I am a maintenance mechanic in Ohio, and I really like your videos. Thank you for sharing. You always do things the right way, and I admire your skills and patience.
He had that race off faster than you could have got halfway through slotting it.It literally popped off and really the last thing you want to do is damage a tapered sleeve.Now if it wasnt tapered I'd probably agree with you.

The prior video footage shows what happened to the jack screws. ;{)-----
The first taper lock on a bearing holder really gave me a hard time :) Kinda against all logic but it works :)
They are standard components or replaceable parts, made by Baldor and a few other company's ;{)-----
Now this key.. DAMN that's a long key.. :D lol
If it was easy they would do it themselfs, ,, GOOD on you getting the job in ,, and able even with an issue to get er done.
I'm left in suspense! How will Keith get out of this one? BTW, I was waiting for him to call it a 'sheave'... that's what was told they were.
Customer supplied, so would only be guessing. ;{)-----

I would have had to soak those drum bolts overnight, my luck is that they would shear off.
9:53 "agh... dirty words!" hahaha, nice!
Dang, you are an animal! that is a tough job, have an adult beverage Keith
You need to get some zip cuts.
12:00 When you have it in fast-forward while talking, I make up what you are saying. Sometimes, you say some funny stuff.
Anger, man this speech regoc is poor tonight.

I did 13.5 years navel ship repair, 32 nd St., North Island & Point Loma, San Diego and your wright this is a breeze! LOL ;{)-----
Thanks for the input with your feed on the project, I have plans to compare that same exact scenario. ;{)-----
Keith I would imagine you slept very well after this episode.
Lot of hard work.Get-r-done.
LOL, Damn Keith (nice slight of hand), how you stored that Allen wrench inside that small set of keys is just amazing!
5 inch shaft doesn't sound big over the phone! AAAAAAAAAA ;{)-----
Love the "FX" with the allen wrench :D
Cool! worth the effort then, Cheers, ;{)-----

mo money, mo problems aye Keith...
that is a pretty cool assembly, and this video may be enough to know what parts I need to buy for a little project that im working on
I would have flipped out and took a jack hammer to it a long time ago.. I am watching every minute though.. man you are patient and seasoned in this line of work!
Every time I watch Keith work I realize I have anger issues. I can't believe I've never heard him get mad once.
What you mean "we" kimosabe? Nice to reach a point when near anything we break, we can fix. You?
nothing like a cheater pipe .... ha ha ha !!!!!!! damn...lots of hard work !!!!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!!!
same thing in automotive,threaded holes help you pull off drums and rotors.good idea !!!!!!
The blokes that made that originally,I tips my lid-what craftsmen they were.
Hi Kieth. Another great vid sequence. I am always amazed by your paitence and your care of the work. All the best: Tom

You worked for your money on that lol
I feel for you, it's too hot for hard work over here right now too. Please pardon a stupid question but why do you need to take the pulley sheaves off the shaft to change the end bearings?
Are those proprietary parts or are they standard industrial parts? They look so specialized.
I might be late to the party here. But the inner taper lock piece seems to be what they used to locate with. The set screws were used to register the interlock at predetermined locations and the sheaves were not used to register the position.

I don't know how you do it. I have to wear hearing protection just watching the video. You must be about stone deaf by now using that grinding tool.

You wife must be pissed at what happened to her purple yoga pants. :)
Hi
get the shaft off the floor, your back will love you for it. LOL
jeff

Nice to see something coming apart so easily. Try working on ANYTHING sent from the navy, they pretty much use pre-baked grease and rust as lubricant.
Any reason for not leaving the pulleys on the shaft and regrooving them in the lathe?
Then throw on the new bearings and youve "git 'er done"
Keith, Nice video and a satisfying project. Would the use of some penetrating oil have helped breaking things loose?
Regards,
Eric
I am on the edge of my seat, wondering if the threads are striped on that jacking point. At least it's pressable now, phew!
See I had a feeling a bushing would break in the last video.
Allot easier watchin someone else do this job, then doing it.
Son of a bitch, I need a nap after watching all that. At 19:23 Keith stepped on a frog,listen close and tell me i'm wrong
It would make sense to position and anger the inner elements before adding the outer elements. Sheaves not sheets.
Hey Keith, I was looking at your machine bases. Are you K&T and your Clausing sitting on steel plates?
Hi Keith, great videos, why does this machine need so many v-belts? There must be about 20 or so.
Ugh, my heart skipped a beat when that one side came loose and the other was still in there solid.
Hahaha, had to pause at the magical appearance of the allen-wrench! Well done, I enjoyed that!
I think I have one of those allen wrench sets...mine is missing one or two sizes though. :)
Really interesting. Thanks, Bro.
lol
Good luck. Looking forward to the next installment!
My back is hurting just watching you strip that thing apart
why did you cut the shiv and not use the jack screws in the flange to push it off
Always interesting projects, Keith. I learn something new every time I watch.
Some times nothing seems to go right. The further you go the behinder you get.
Use a cutoff wheel and cut a diagonal slot in the bearing race, then use a chisel and split the race, boom and it's free.
He had that race off faster than you could have got halfway through slotting it.It literally popped off and really the last thing you want to do is damage a tapered sleeve.Now if it wasnt tapered I'd probably agree with you.
8:34... That's the funniest thing I've ever seen on this channel!
Ar-Ha, I must have missed that part of the job description.
Don't tempt the Fuck up fairy . She has a great sense of humour.
its not so bad kieth now we get to see you do a repair ...linds
Angkor, and the Spelling correction is not much better
You did`nt heat this side .
Nothing is easy on this job so far....Keep it up!
This turned out to be a Wheaties and oatmeal job!
I wish my Allen wrench sets were that handy ;-)
Hahaha the Allen wrench bit just cracks me up!
glad i'm not the only one noticing that lol
love the allen-wrench!!
Well played Keith
did anyone else detect a siren at 21:55
magic Allen wrench ??? lol
Good job keith you need a six pack
