Once upon a time, I disassembled a 1956 Rockport surface planer. My colleagues all thought I would never get it back together again. Before taking it apart, I painted a 12 by 3 tabletop bright white and then took every part and placed it exactly where it appeared on the exploded diagram that I had taped to the table surface. It went together just fine. Still didn't work very well. I was born in 1956 and I don't work very well either. :)

Matt you really are amazing. I suspect very few people would have taken that job on but nothing seems to deter you. I admire your determination.

Matt, when I get some printed material such as a parts manual or just a few pages, as in your case, I scan them into the computer then I can print them out when working on the machine and it does not matter how much grease I get on the page. The original is still in perfect condition in the computer for the next problem. I also write up the dismantle process so that I am making a workshop manual as I go, because, sure as hell, I'm going to be back into it at some time in the future. Annul Retentive ?, probably LOL. Love your work man, greatly appreciated. Cheers from OZZ.

I do enjoy how you do your 'field fixes' when you don't have the right tool with you which helps me solve my problems when I don't own the right tool, however, it is more enjoyable to learn how to use the right tool with the right technique.

What is this word “organized “ sounds scary.

Well done Matt. I was thinking: How on earth is he going to get this heavy shaft back into that roller? But you always come up with ideas involving excavators, skid steers and other machinery. BTW: I believe, that one ball thing is not a bearing at all. It is was generates the vibration. By rotating the heavy ball around in that race, the roller will start to vibrate. I hope you assembled both sides pointing into the same direction. Keep on that good work.

I've seen worse worn shafts. I didn't think the lath would turn slow enough.Good call.Everyone's from time to time missed a part somewhere inside the assembly and had to go back to make it right. I miss working.

Matt, Welding that shaft up and turning it down was impressive. I was wondering if your ground clamp was going to maintain electrical contact as it turned or if it was going to cut out your weld and make it less consistent. Looks like it worked great. After a $1200 bill for the main shaft repair, I'm sure you needed that self repair to go right. As for the commenters who didn't think your tiedown was going to work, those are from people with zero mechanical aptitude or those who haven't hauled anything heavier than a case of beer in their Prius. LOL Keep up the good work and content.

I was impressed how well the ground clamp did its thing dragging on the part. Matt i'm sure didn't clamp the ground clip to the lathe directly to avoid sparking damage to the spindle bearings, it's really not a good idea to put large amounts of current through point contacts of a bearing.

Just a suggestion Matt that when you use sand paper or Emery paper on a lathe it's a good idea to put down some thing down on the Liner rails to stop the fine metal falling on them, Because the fine metal and cutting oil make Valve Grinding Compound so when the carriage goes over it can wear down the rails. And thanks for making video too.

I was a roller operator when I did asphalt work about 12 years ago. My dad was a machinst & past way when I was 7. Always was interested how machine equipment works. I love to see the old equipment being repaired. Great job on the roller repair.

What you were calling a taper lock is a tapered shaft adapter sleeve. taper locks/ QD (quick disconnect) bushings have 3 holes to draw a gear or pulley onto a shaft. adapter sleeves pull the taper into the bearing, QD bushings have a keyway between it and the shaft so you can lock a set screw on the shaft and pull the gear or pulley onto the taper lock.

I absolutely know that feeling to find a part that was supposed to be installed well before where you are at at the time. But look at it this way, way better to catch it than and not at the very end. Parts left over at the end is usually a nut or bolt. But you never want an integral part left over. That does make for a seriously sick feeling and usually a "done for the day" idea as well. Thumbs Up!

very nice video. I enjoy your efforts to restore these old machines. I think that old roll will serve you well in the end. just keep it full of grease and roll on......

Hard to believe you’re taking on these jobs solo and then filming and spending hours editing yourself. Appreciate the channel and watching your hard work & ingenuity.

I don't do this kind of work anymore but when I did and had really greasy clothes I was given a tip by an oil field worker to put a can of coke in the washer before you start it up. Worked great.

That is one nice repair of that clutch shaft 👌 Being a forestry mechanic I absolutely love heavy engineering

Once again, I have to hand it to you, Matt! Your ability to fix heavy equipment boggles my mind! Of course, I don't have the training and experience that you do but your skill at this kind of thing is amazing. I sure hope that big tow behind roller will work well and meet your needs on the new shop pad. Congratulations on the rebuild, my friend!

I’m glad I’m not the only that puts things together and that one part finally clicks in my brain where it goes! You’re a man of many talents and lots of patience.

Your time consuming efforts to make the viewing of the difficulties you are faced with, is very much appreciated by us all. "Thank you," from London, UK.

Matt that was impressive the welding the shaft and turning it down so everything went back together right,I can just see your smile on your face when you complete your jobs on your equip,ment to keep them as top notch as possible.

Amazing. Reminds me of my (long ago) youth, getting greasy and “fixing” things though certainly nothing near this complexity. I’ll look forward to seeing you complete the project. You are indeed a talented individual.

Matt: Kudos to your ability to do all this heavy stuff by yourself with the help of some serious equipment. I always enjoy watching you. I felt your pain when you discovered the bushing that should have been installed after step three and your were at step 8 in the process. Ouch that hurts. hang in there buddy and waiting for the capstone episode on this roller project.

Well, Matt. You have given a new meaning to the phrase "turn and burn" with that lathe/welder trick!

I’m glad I’m not the only one that buttons everything up only to find that washer/spacer/seal hiding in plain sight….dang-it! Thanks for the time and effort it takes to make your videos “we” do appreciate it.

I was happy when I was able to change my bike spark plugs this morning without lifting the front of the gas tank, but yea, you got me way beat - as usual. Bravo!

I can only imagine the amount of work it is to work AND edit but I sure do love the longer style videos, perfect for relaxing in the morning and watching some work get done.

Thanks Matt for getting that roller back up and hopefully running in short order. It’s so helpful when you take particular care in explaining your mistakes and how you learned from them, I’m sure there’s a lot of folks watching like me that truly enjoy your adventures working with these wonderful machines, please keep up what your doing.

My brother and I spent hours working on old equipment that was past worn out both on the farm and when he bought the quarry. Every one was it's own little corner of misery LOL. You did a nice job building up and machining down that shaft. That should work well once you get it fired up again. Too bad they didn't put enough threads in the end of the shaft the shop repaired for you though. Always looking forward to the next video, they are always enjoyable.

Great job on putting the big roller back in place and I hope that the rest of the rebuild goes back in just as well. I enjoy watching the longer videos even though I know they are a pain to edit (sorry) . However they are a lot more informative and I think that is the best part of any video and the main reason I have always enjoyed watching your channel. Stay safe and God Bless.

Hey mate, looks like you might have put the large ball bearing forks off by 180degrees on the shaft. I see in the drawing the forks are opposite the off center weight of the shaft, but you have aligned the forks with the off center weight as best I can tell at 32:45. This will create alot more force on those outer bearings and might make them fail prematurely. Hope you see this

I think we've all been there, Matt, to have something 90% of the way back together and then the next part picked up is something that goes deep within the bowels of what is being assembled! Fully understand the need to curse like a stevedore with a stubbed toe while taking off everything that has to come back out to put the part in!

Can't wait to see this compactor back smashing dirt again. Looking forward to seeing it back rolling again

Simply amazing Matt! I felt that this would be a unit that may not be put back together. Your skills show on every video and cannot wait to see you get back on the Auto Truck. By the way your rebuild on Christien rocked keep up the amazing work.

That thing will be worth it to repair. At the company i work for we have a tow behind roller too. Im not sure if its the same size or a few sizes bigger but, it compacts freaking much. On one construction site where we were preparing a site for two gas drillings we had both our tow behind and Dynapac CS252 (about 19t or 42000 bananas) and the tow behind compacted at least as good as the normal roller

Hey man, usually on those taper sleeves get it as tight as you can by hand then another half turn. Over tightening them will lead to premature bearing failure
