I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.

@37yearsofanythingisenough39 3 ай бұрын

Donny, since you are asking, a general rule for machining I always tried to impress upon my students was to keep things as short and thus stiff as possible. Vibration is the enemy. Poor surface finish aside, it causes inaccuracies in finished dimensions. Long overhangs promote vibration. (Insert a ruler clamped short on the desk edge and caused to vibrate vs. same ruler clamped long on the desk edge to prove this point.). In machining the vibrations are still there the difference being you cannot see them with your eye most of the time. Tons of pressure are being applied at the point of cut with any cutting tool be it boring bar, tool bit, end mill, drill bit or etc.. Help these cutters do their intended job by keeping things as rigid as possible.

@livewire.. 3 ай бұрын

Dony, the content is excellent, as usual. Thanks. Carbide insert tooling is the way to go; look for inserts with multiple cutting edges, good relief, and chip breakers. Once you do, you'll never want to go back to the brazed carbide bits. I also suggest you invest in a quick-change tool holder. Last, toss the vernier approximater calipers and use a proper C-type micrometer.

I worked for a bearing house/distributor for years, the manufacturers only supply the bearings to the distributors who then sell to the public for example motion industries or bearing headquarters, etc. Also a bearing such as that would normally have either set screws or an eccentric collar to lock it to the shaft ??

@ruben_balea 2 ай бұрын

@@mudell.hunter0426 Most of those machines are very cheaply made nowadays, they don't care if the shaft rotates and/or slides inside the bearing race, it's even better if all parts wear faster because it seems they make more money from overpriced spare parts than from sellling the actual machines. The next model may have a plastic bushing instead of a steel bearing.

I've used both a ball hone and a brake wheel cylinder hone to open up the bearing I.D. The nice thing with a small hone is you have plenty of control to slowly work up to the final size. They also don't tend to heat up the part and are designed to be used on hardened metal and leave a nice smooth finish.

I have boring bars with carbide insert cutters. The inserts are not expensive. If a cutter gets worn or chipped, just remove the screw and rotate to the next edge. The tool post remains at the same setting. I use my boring bars with the cutter horizontal. The relief angles are included in the cutter and boring bar design. Glad you were able to get this bearing to fit. I also find having metal lathe and milling machine allow being able to make many parts, in my case for tools and jigs for wood turning.

@simondenis9511 3 ай бұрын

Excellent comment! Cutting inserts specialized for hard materials are also available. You should consult with your local machine tools provider. These inserts might come in handy. Putting the cutter horizontal makes the readings on the lathe dials accurate. Also, when making an internal reading with your calipers, make it with both hands, spreading the lower jaws lightly instead of your thumb. That helps making sure the upper jaws are flat against the surfaces you’re measuring. I know that might be difficult when holding a camera… but accurate readings are key to accurate machining.

Still, your fix worked and congratulations on a job well done!

Very nice save on the snow blower. Fortunately, bearings are one of the parts that are completely independent of equipment manufacturers. Almost every manufacturing company buys their bearings from a bearing manufacturer, so standard replacements are almost always available. I put new spindle bearings in my 1956 Delta drill press that were exactly the same as the original ones. The impeller would have been more difficult if you hadn't been able to fix it. That would have been a trip to the snow blower bone yard. Great work, as always. I enjoy your channel.

When you do actually find parts in stock, they cost an arm and a leg because you have to order them from the States: exchange rate and shipping, sometimes they are available here in Canada but the price is way over inflated.
