    I was just wondering, aren't the zerk fittings on the axle supposed to be facing towards the front for easy access.

  • @HanginwithHarv
    @HanginwithHarv Жыл бұрын

    You could be correct there @dougfairburn803. The part is the symmetrical and the only difference is zerks to the front verses to the back. I don't have any issues getting to them and feel they are more protected from damage.

    You can absolutely do this. Take your time and always be careful when using any power tools and especially a chainsaw. Even hand tools must be used carefully. This chopping block has been awesome. Saves my back and with the backstop and proper technique is wonderful to use.

    The wheels were off of an old JD rear engine rider that someone was getting rid of. I had it for quite a while and salvaged the motor years before. I would say any wheels you can get your hands on that hold air and won't immediately dig in or sink should work.

    Hey Harv. Kinda glossed over actually removing the 18mm bolt attaching the axel to the chassis. Did you use a torque wrench or a hammer on a socket wrench?

  • @HanginwithHarv
    @HanginwithHarv Жыл бұрын

    Hey Matt! I may have used a breaker bar. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of pipe that will fit over your socket wrench. Depending on how long it's been there maybe some penetrating spray. I honestly don't recall now if I had trouble with it or not.

    When grinding eye protection with side shields is preferred. I wear glasses too, but use scratched safety glasses with side shields that give better protection than just regular glasses.

    I bet the professional manufacturers are glad you're not actually doing this as a profession! They'd lose Soo much money if everyone used your crazy simple setup! Everything you've listed can be picked up off Craigslist or as scrape! I'll be making mine very similar from nearly the same junk parts! Great job!

    So once you put the new axle assembly back on, does it have any side to side sway or simply just the vertical sway motion. I think mine may be gone as it moves back and forth a bit on the side to side motion

  • @HanginwithHarv

    Not had any problems with it swaying side to side. It has the vertical travel as you mentioned only.

    Kind of looks like you were doing "Wheelies" with that JD rider lawnmower one TOO many times." That "cast iron axle" looks a whole lot like POT-METAL construction. My 42 year old Wheelhorse's axle has never broken yet and it does "Great Wheelies". Maybe Too much tire pressure. Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe lawnmowering.

    Absolutely! I am fortunate to have a local steel supplier that sells anything they have cut on at scrap bin prices. So for some it may cost a bit more and of course depending on the thickness of tube etc. but for my purposes it was perfect and has more than paid for itself.

    Hey Harv, Your videos are great, but allow me to interject some criticism. I priced the steel to build an Arch Trailer almost exactly like this one and the steel alone will cost me $325.00. I think the electricity for my welding machine will cost more than $25.00. Your title is very misleading.

    Before the demolition we took everything we could from the house. We smashed walls and pulled out insulation, removed wiring and electrical panels, doors, fixtures and many cabinets that I built. We plan to reuse all of what we salvaged from the house.
