    Great job with the turning. Fun watch. BE super careful with gloves, sleaves or anything when turning on the lathe. It is so easy for a rough spot to grab and take your hand or arm into it. I always turn with short sleaves and no gloves, rings or anything on my hands. Don't know you experience level so just wanted to mention this. I know it's a bit colder where you are so just be aware lathes can really be dangerous with loose fitting clothes and especially gloves. It only take a loose string to grab and take your fingers into it. Just a warning if you haven't used a lathe much before.

    Andris, your familiarity with your lathe will give you better results as shown with your finishes over each pin. You should have a feed control lever on the side of your apron which will use the lead screw yo advance the carriage longitudinally along the work piece and normally you have the cutting tool moving forward towards the chuck with the leading edge of the cutting tool doing the work. Speed, direction and sharpness of the tool will normally give you a good finish, practice makes perfect and since you like to experiment have a crack. This was an awesome video, good length, heaps of content and superb results, well done mate, great effort as always

    Hello Mr Ants! Thanks again for a great video! At 1:28:00 You mention having a welded together holesaw, You can do this without welding anything. Put on the biggest holesaw first then put on the smaller one on the remaining thread of the adapter. Note the smaller one will get a bit stuck. This way you can also use a smaller holesaw as a pilotdrill for expanding an existing hole to a bigger size. Maybe you don`t need that now that you have a cutting torch 😁

You can make washers on your lathe using round stock. Not too bad for the first time on the lathe. Lots to learn about which cutting tool to use for cutting. Hope you got your manual for you lathe.

    The 80% oil change sounds about right. Many people still think it should be changed at 3000-5000miles. It’s a hold over from 40 years ago when oils were not very good. We run our diesel service trucks to 15,000 miles. We did oil analysis on our trucks and customer’s equipment at (300hrs) to get to that point we had faith in running them that long.

      @@Ants_Pants - yep. There really isn't a wrong way to cut on a lathe (for what guys like you and I are doing). I was taught to use the right hand cutting tool, put the lathe in forward and cut from the tailstock towards the chuck. It does seem to provide a better surface finish, but again - if you get the pin turned to the right diameter, then job well done! The different tools really just help you reach different areas. A right hand turning tool used as I describe works best simply because of the tool geometery. At the end of the day, bro - you do you (and it's working). Cheers!!

    Good work Ants, if there is a part 2 im more than interested seeing it. The oil filter length is not that important here mostly it's the threads that have to match up. Most of these mini excavators work the snot out until they are just sold. Yours is not even the worst at all. If you go watch how much work Matt from Pacific Northwest Hillbilly channel has with his large excavator. You will see despite the size difference all of them have the same issue and that is neglect kills. Now having a Lathe makes perfect sense cause turning the pins back to the original diameter and letting someone else do it. Adds up the costs within minutes. You need a oil/fluid pump setup for the lathe to cool down the cutting blade. Also weld makes the cutting blades dull very fast.

    Andris, love your Ants maintenance/ revival videos. I’m expecting years of entertainment from your upcoming “Brother of Joseph” revival series. You seem to be getting more familiar with your new lathe. Suggest you do some research re speed and direction of cutting to both improve your output and maintain your tooling. Secondly be careful with loose clothing items around a lathe. We want you around for a long time. Love to see your subscription rate climbing week after week. I started watching you around 18k and now more than double but certainly worthy of a number well over 100k. Slow and steady you are creating a very strong following. I also look forward to Fridays.

    Other filter should be in the hydraulic tank. Drain the tank out completely and you will find it. Will be under the other lid or the oil out let pipe inside the tank. Try till get yourself some way of heating the bolts will help alot when they wont unscrew. Love the videos keep up the got work. 👍

  • @rogerburgemeister3087
    @rogerburgemeister3087 Рік тому +2

    You have to wire in the master switch on the positive side of the battery. Cause wiring it on the negative still allows current to flow through the system. So wiring it on the positive side isolates the battery from the system. That's why we call it the isolator switch in Australia.

    Hey dude, great video, as always.
    I'm just going to deal with one aspect this time round, which concerns your lathe.
    I have over 40 years experience working with lathes. Please don't take this the wrong way. No pun intended, but you're cutting the wrong way.
    There are three points to remember when using a lathe. First, 99% of the time, you cut from right to left, not left to right as you were doing.
    Secondly, when removing a lot of material, it's best to go at a slower speed, but when you get to say, within 0.2 mm or less, speed up. The faster the speed, the smoother the finish. To get it really smooth you can always finish with emery tape.
    Thirdly, make sure you use the right cutting tip for the job in hand. Different tips react to different metals, chrome for example. You can machine chrome, but you must use the correct type of tip. Then once the chrome layer has been removed, you swap out that tip for a different one.
    Last bit of advice, my friend. Please watch some lathing videos. Kurtis at (CEE) Cutting Edge Enginering explains everything you need to know about lathes, line boring, cutting, and welding in general. He lives in Australia, and there will be a surprise for you at the end of his videos 😆👍

    About lathe, I don't really know if you mocking us, or really don't know what you doing=) Always cut towards spindel, from right to left. All pass-thrue tools are designed to cut by its left side, not by its tip. Only cut-off tools and threading tools cut with the tip.

    Dude, I mean this with all the best and not trying to be safety police or anything but it's actually super dangerous, please no gloves when the lathe is running, ever! Preferably roll up your sleeves too, hoodie ropes or any other shit that can get caught and pull you into the lathe. That lathe definitely is stronger than your arm and it's very easy to get caught on something.
    I've been called out for it too, because you know, it makes sense to want to protect your hands when there's hot metal flying around. But some hot chips and scratches every now and then are a lot better than getting your arm ripped off so I'm glad people warned me before anything happened. There definitely have been times since then where I would've been screwed if I had been wearing gloves.
    Anyway, enjoyed the video as always. I was kind of hoping to see your mother's reaction to the big ass tractor but can't have everything I guess! :)

    • @Ants_Pants
      @Ants_Pants  Рік тому

      Yeah i know about this, it was very cold in the workshop so that's why i wear gloves. I need to get some heat going into the workshop. Mother was happy to see it by the way, she knew this tractor from her childhood as she was a farm worker back then, brought back some memories of her.

  • @andymora5595

    Great video! I never saw somebody renewing bolts with a lathe. I hope it lasts a long time. Bolts are inductive hardened and I don't know if welding it up lasts same time than the original material.
    One important hint about bolds: Most important is that the bolts don't rotate relative to the body of machine. If the bolt turns, it destroys the body in that area. See the flat part of the bolt attachment? It should fit to the metal holding bar. Just weld it up so that is corretly fits. This will save you much time in future. I also need to to this job this winter.
    Small hydraulic filter: In the meantime, did you find out where it belongs? Do you have any service manuel or spare part diagrams/List? It should be visible there. It should be in tank or next to tank.
    Final drive boxes: They should be cleaned every x months, otherwise the hose fittings will corrode. Cleaning, painting it or put a lot of grease on it.
