Machining BIG Tractor Wheel Plates | John Deere 9570R
In this video we are machining centre plates for the wheel rims on a big John Deere 9570R Tractor. The plates don’t fit into the centre of the wheel hub so we are machining to size and machining a radius for weld prep. We have four to do and the customer needs them in a hurry so was a job we had to get in and just get it done.
In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe

It's always a pleasure to see your videos. The machining is superb, but it's the outtakes that keeps me coming back every time.
The part of the video where the part looks like it is almost standing still but chips still coming off the tool was cool.
Nice job Kurtis. I love fu---ck ups.
Were those centers John Deere parts or were they fabbed locally? Nicely done.
Knowing John Deere's prices and wait times on parts, this was probably the most cost effective and time saving option.
Also a better job and customer service.
Iv seen lots of there jd rims fail the pretty much snap off combines when loaded u know its a problem when local dealers have new rims in stock
Finally, the Australian metal wizard has appeard on my screen yet again. ☕
🧙♂️🤣👍
Much better than those backwoods wizards in Mississippi! 👍
KZhead algorithms lol
Kurtis here is truely a wizard. Ive learned a ton from CEE
Flawless 👌🏴
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the bloody hard and thankless job of the Farmer, to keep us Fed and Watered.
Especially with all the craziness going on in the world right now. Respect to the farmers
> Watered Tell me about it. The moisture farmers have had it the absolute worst. Vaporator parts are in short supply, good droids are nearly impossible to find, and Mos Eisley space port is nothing but a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
@@Pest789 this is not the Comment Thread you are looking for....
i know i worked on one..
@@Pest789 Well they grow an integral part for making of beer. 👍😊
I've learned more from your videos then half of a semester of night welding classes. Please keep them longer and as indepth as possible your a natural teacher.
I love the endings. When you show the bloopers. It shows that you are human. No one is perfect although, when it comes to machining, you are damn close to perfect.
The outtakes have become a real feature of our channel now and will keep them coming
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering No lack of material for those anywho. 👍😊
I don't think he's human, he's probably some kind of next level machining robot or so 😂
@@mazevx2451 LOL. I think you might be right. LOL
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I love seeing the out takes
Great to watch as always! Seeing that tractor reminds me of a funny story from my days in the Diesel Engine business! I was the Warranty Engineer for Deutz USA (for 8 years) back in the '80s. We were the engine part of it. A sister company was Deutz-Allis that made tractors and combines and so on (our engines of course). One day one of their reps came by with a brochure for a new tractor model that they were VERY proud of. So we're sitting at the conference table. Our Chief Engineer (my Boss), couple other of our guys, and the DA rep. I took one look at the cover and started laughing! They are all giving me this WTF look and I say: "What's wrong with this picture?" Blank looks. I said: "Any farmer looks at this and he'll wonder what else we got backwards!" DA guy asks: "What's backwards?" I said: "Nobody else sees it?" "No". I said: "I'm sure they just put the machine together for the photo shoot but the drive tires are on the wrong side! Chevrons go so the tires dig in the mud, pushing it to the outside. Other way round they load up and you're stuck!" Guy asked how the F I knew that and I told him my Grandpa was a farmer and taught me to drive a tractor when I was about ten... ;)
Though ita not uncommon, to see tractors here in germany with the drivewheels on backwards... This is done to reduce tire wear, when doing roadtransport with the tractor.
@@9deviltiger9 It would also be useful in sand or very sandy soil.
Cool story bro
Wow,hard to believe they could miss that! Although I saw a self powered flail mower in a dealership the other day with tyres on ass backwards too,so it definitely happens!🤣🤣
Kurtis, you, Karen, and Homeless always hit em out of the park! As always, thanks for the extra work you guys put in so that the rest of us can see how it's done! :)
Plus the out takes at the end of each video. Just a quick shout-out for another youtube channel that has a "shop dog": Precision Transmission in Amarillo, Texas . "Annie" is the shop dog there, just more laid back than Homey, however she does get the fanmail like Homey does. Just like C.E.E. it's a family run shop, no outside help. Also the owner has a racecar he drives the 1/4 mile track with around Texas on the weekends.
@@MRHSDM316SD18186 yup, that too! :)
That vernier gauge was massive…so many tools needed to get the job done 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah definitely helps having the right tools for the job
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering What’s the old quote.." you are only as good as the tools you use " 😉😉
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering At least the machinist isn't a tool anyway. 👍😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hey Kurtis you inspired me to go score a nearly 2 ton lathe - love it so much!!!
As usual, nice job👍 I've done a few of these myself, but have never fitted them like that. I've always made new centers from scratch, so that they'll lay flat on top of the center in the new rim. That way I figured they run true when fitted to the tractor. And like you said, they don't do 100km/t, so a little run out is OK. Thanks again for sharing your workdays with us. Cheers from Denmark 🍻
Awesome mate respect 😎👊💥
Ditto from USA.
11:28 What a cool shot! It's neat to see the lathe slowing down slightly when it's under load and losing sync with the output frame rate.
Someone please please send them better camera/lens - I mean nowadays this is the best machining channel, but the picture quality is sometimes not the best :/
Lol yeah I will upgrade eventually I'm just using my Samsung galaxy phone and an old iphone 😊👌
@@great__success .....I'll bet they would give you an address if you would like to send what you consider a better camera/lens. Step up, A!!
@@great__success And do you pay to watch the channel ?, I thought so, best off if you keep quiet, if you want to see better quality why don't you send them the camera / lens combo you think is best.
so I have a 1949 chevy 2-ton which has split rims (widow makers) I'm in the Arizona (USA) and have been trying to get/find replacement rims for awhile now with the correct center and modern rim. This would allow me to use modern tires as well. Every tire/rim place has told me forget it you won't find them, this truck is an antique and goes 40-45 MPH tops. I'm going to show this video to a local shop to see if I can transplant my centers into newer style rims. Thanks for the idea, and great video's. Keep that safety officer happy.
Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting for this episode of “Gold Coast Customs”. Sick rims dude!
Fully sick 🤣
On this week's episode of Aussie Tractor Pimping.....
Can you Drift with those?
You and Karen put on an excellent show! Your explanations are clear and concise, her camera work is smooth and steady, and loaded with interesting shots and angles. Superb work!
That dog proper loves you Carl, give him some praise when he does as he his told- Go on, we will not think you have gone all rainbow on us :)
I know that the video was coming from Australia but this gentleman here in this shop knows what hes doing. Hes very good.
You should do a video on cleaning out that lathe bay and changing the fluid when it gets old. That is if you need content... Or any other shop chores that goes on behind the scenes. Great videos. Keep it up
It's really nice to watch you working your magic on anything that comes your way. I have been watching you for a couple of months now and I never get enough of it. Your health and safety officer is very good at his job 👏
Having that shop crane is a life savor.
Chucking down rain here in Ireland 🇮🇪 but hey it's Friday morning and the CEE crew have posted another vid. Happy days. Have a great weekend guys.
Cheers mate hope it's not raining all weekend there for you 😎👍
You do so many different kinds fixes, repairs and build ups.. Thru all of this you still have a great sense of humor.. Your out takes are very funny and well presented.. So I hope thru it all you keep doing the out takes too. I like how you try to show where the part fits on the machine and what it does.. My god not many out there are making colorful videos like you two.. Your videos are way better that watching tv.. Keep going ..you give many of us hope as we watch things being fixed again.. 👍☺️
Just in time biscuits and a brew got to have a good excuse just happens to be the man from the land down under , nice job mate
Sounds like you got it sorted there mate 😎👍
Great closeup video of the machining process! The chip formation is flawless. Always a pleasure to watch!
I figured it was bed time since is 3am here on the east coast but got the notification you uploaded 😂 no more bed time
Sleep can wait 😂👍
Thanks for showing the dial in's. It's always bewildering how far out a part can be.
Whether it's the operation or the part, I always learn something interesting watching you approach a job. The Slinky was a nice bonus!
Glad you enjoy the vids 😎👍
You the missus, and Homey, are a fabulous family. Another masterful example of workmanship, expert filming and exceptional editing. Makes your videos number one in my book. Bravo all.
that is some wicked runout on that wheel center!!!!!
I like how the questions you get (and answer at the beginning) are always, "Why doesn't the customer just buy a new one or get a different part?" And the answer is always, I mean always, "money." These machines are money-earners, not garage-kept show pieces. If they aren't in the field earning money they are in the shop costing money. And, Australia is a long way away from, well, anywhere that parts for industrial machines are made. Even if you could order the part from, say, Singapore or Japan or even mainland China, it's not like someone in London ordering a part from Hamburg. It's a lot of shipping from anywhere to the East Coast of Oz. And, in the end, the part you could order is made by a different guy who would more or less have to do exactly what Kurtis is doing but charging twice the price. So, my point is, in business the answer to every question is "money." It's money over the long-run and minimizing the money you spend over the short-run.
You're absolutely spot on. It's interesting how many ask "isn't it cheaper to buy a new one" I forget Australia is a long way from other places and costs a lot more to get parts from overseas
Not only that, but everyone knows JD and CAT charge at least 250% more for yellow paint :P
That was a wheely good video 🦽 Very satisfying to see it fit so well into the rim. All the best, Paul
🤣👌 hey Paul thanks for watching
Don't you just love it when parts do not run straight 😯😯👍👍
"fits inside the wheel - but doesn't fit where it belongs"..... such a accurate description of life sometimes 🤣🤗👍🏼✨.....
Know what you mean, mine's too big too.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
It must be Friday - have a good weekend everyone
Friday again! You too mate 😎👍
I'm from Russia and I'm looking forward to your new videos, thank you for the videos that I've already watched !
Suggestion for new you tube is the editing. I learn so much from your videos and then I laugh with enjoyment at your editing. I enjoy them so much. Please keep it up. Lol.
so glad to see you here, right on time...cheers form USA Florida...Paul
Hey Paul yeah Karen's got the upload schedule going well 😎👍
Man you are a one man powerhouse. Wish i'd of started my own shop instead of making $ for other ppl.
...IT'S A CRUEL WORLD-!!!
The best produced videos on KZhead I ever saw!!
That button insert created really lethal looking snare. It gave me goosebumps just by looking at the video.
Super singles ( sometimes called forestry tyres) used a lot on tank sinking ect. Where the tractor isn’t on level ground , a lot less flats and more traction.👍
Great job I'm surprised how far out they were and it's a shame we didn't get to see them welded up but all good just the same have a great weekend 👍🏻
Yes and their welding was probably like sparrows compared to the metal maestro's handiwork ;-)
@@brettymike Agreed 👌
Hey mate! Karen mentioned you called will take a look at your email 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thank mate much appreciated 😁👍🏻
Karen, Your videos are spot on. Yes "perfect". Your wide angles and zoom in areexcellent.
You and Karen are the best and homey, these companies are lucky to have you to get a part back right away
Thank you mate
This looks like a needed break from all of the heavy welding jobs you have had lately. I have to hand it to you, I don't see how your back takes all of the leaning over that you have to do for all of the welding you do. Stay safe and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Always good to have variety in the shop. Surprisingly don't have any back problems I make sure to get as comfortable as I can when welding 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Yep, getting comfy is number one. It was the first thing l was taught by an old school workshop training guy here in the UK. At the time it surprised me, but not now!
You almost did too much effort into this one 😂. Between the stamped parts, welded rim, sloppy bolt holes and the tire beeing out of whack even new, few milimeters dont matter much as long things are properly welded. Cheers 🍻 and have a nice weekend.
THANK YOU BOTH.
Welcome mate 😎👍
Karen - COOL how you matched shutter speed to the lathe's rotation, to "stop" the insert from turning.
Excellent job guy's, I would love to have one of those trucks, I like the sideboards and flatbed great shop truck..
Thanks mate. Yeah it's a good little work ute
It's a ..ute. mate .👍🤣🤣
Think I will have some chips for dinner but without the cutting fluid.
Yeah no one wants soggy chips
You young man have a wonderful rewarding future ahead sir. Great Job. Good dog; good to see your work with his training.
Now if only I had called you's in the first place.! Thanks for the update.!
Surface A says to Surface at the moment of mating: "I thought you said you were concentric" Answer: "I lied"
Looks like they might be putting super wide singles on in place of the duals. Nice job as always, that formed steel is stringy AF isn't it?
Hey mate yeah made some nasty swarf. You're right going for a bigger wide single tyre
I don't know why we don't have trucks like that here in the us! It just makes sense!
I knew the Safety Officer had a Naval Connection! The gantry crane makes a noise reminiscent of Bosun's Call whistle signals, well done Homey! There is more swarf to go towards the quick change tool post he's constructing. Thanks Kurtis, Giggler and Homey!
مهندس منتج وبارع في ميدان الصناعات المكانكية محترف بأمتياز perfect 👍🇲🇦
Good job as always. I'm always stunned at how those button inserts whack out the metal. Thanks for another great video.
Another Wheely good episode folks! I'm here all week! haha
1:05 - You do what you've gotta do in the times when you need to - and you just make things work. shoutout to this sentence!
That button cutter is putting in some serious work. It’s not even making chips, it’s making ribbon! I wish I had the money for a new lathe… someday!
Heck yeah keep on saving for it mate!
It's always great to get the explanation behind the repair even if you can't show us everything. Thanks from Ohio, USA.
Well done! You work efficiently, well planned, and safely. I always learn something!
Please take Homey on a delivery sometime, he needs more love
Mate, I watch your videos while I eat. In our country, watching repairs, construction, etc. is like an ancestral sport. That's why I can't help myself from your videos :D Thank you.
thanks for the upload mate. great weekend to you both!
Great work as usual Kurtis - you really understand what you are doing, and why. CHEERS MATE.
Wish I could still get around well enough to do this kind of work. It just seems very fulfilling working with your hands.
Good workmanship as usual. Nice to see Homey again.
Like everyone else, I love the content but my favorite part is the outtakes at the end. I always leave with a big grin on my face! 😁
Was watching another KZhead channel where there's a Russian mechanic working on a big Mercedes diesel truck engine, when suddenly I hear: "Cutting Edge Engineering" and "Australia". Wow, CEE gets around ;') Thanks for the video! Note: Channel is all Russian, no translations, so it really stood out ;')
I absolutely love your lady's slow motion camera work. Cheers.
O melhor mecânico de máquinas pesadas, do KZhead. Assistindo aqui do Brasil.
you are really a great specialist, it is very interesting to look at your work , and your dog is very good, take care of him !
I like the way you can put the sides up on your Ute after hooking ratchet straps on, that’s pretty sweet
You see the plate number. Sick bro
You are quite amazing. The World is fortunate you are available to pull off amazing solutions to problems.
Another good video..nice striaght forward bit of turning..good to know about the weld prep good info thks for that ..keep up the good work 👍
Good morning, its 0245am here in 60107 USA. Thank you for all the great videos, and truly amazing work you do.
Hey mate very early morning for you have a good Friday
congratulations for the new forklift
Thanks for the new video. Always appreciated.
What a beautiful job, for sure the finish will be exactly resistant. Thanks for the videos, they are my company on Friday mornings !!
Welcome mate thanks for the great comment
I'm always atonished by the OVERSIZE of your machines and tools. And of course your skill. Stay safe. Cheers.
Hooray its Friday and i can watch your Video
Enjoy 😎👍
the 12 mm button insert is my favorite....i always cheer like a maniac when the 12 mm button insert comes off the bench and into the game....it throws off shavings like Christmas decorations
Yeah robust tool works awesome
Thanks CEE for giving me something to look forward to every Friday.
Hey mate glad you enjoy the vids!
Great video! Good to see the safety officers toy is still kicking! Greetings from Pennsylvania USA!
A fitting end would be to toss one like a frisbee in the yard, Karen (Giggler!) using her slo-mo pan technique on Homey jumping up and catching it!!! EPIC!! Explanation on the weld was perfect for those of us that don't know how to do it Kurtis...just outstanding content!! Thx for sharing with us!
I cannot tell you how much I wait for your videos every Friday. Thank you for all your hard work!
Thanks for waiting and watching 😎👍
Up before the sun with a cup of coffee and my Friday morning ritual. Nice work!
Loving all these videos whilst I deal with lockdown in Central West NSW. Thank you for all of the viewing pleasures and hard work you both do. Extra hugs for homeless too.
Hey mate hope it's not too much longer for you with the lockdown 😣 glad you can enjoy the vids
always impressed by the chips that fly - chip curls were impressive
These videos are the best absolutely amazing what you do thank you, continued success.
bonjours , je suis en admiration quand je regarde vos vidéos, j'ai été moi-même tourneur/fraiseur ( a la retraite maintenant)et j'admire votre travail ,continuer a publier vos vidéo et Merçi
I like the bed on your truck, and the custom license plate also.
Love when plan comes together, at the end label it as OUTTAKES or BONUS FOOTAGE
They like your work. And keeping the local machinist working they know your quality
compliments to the videographer
1:05 Kurtis is the right guy to call when you to "just make things work"!
Congratulations on your beautiful and clean work.
Hi Kurtis @Grandpa-Chris from London here, I’ve gotta say that I admire both you and Karen for your persistence and patience… doing the same task four times like this must have been a wheel Grind 🫣🫣😆😆🤣🤣 thanks for the brilliant content,
Alright alright alright!! We're back on schedule. Yay!!
