Steel rims and frame get sandblasted and powder coated, the planetary differential brake steering gearbox parts get cleaned in parts washer, a couple of gears get replaced with new gears, new bearings and circlips installed. The planetary differential gets assembled and worn out reverse idler gear oilite bushing replaced with homemade brass bushing. The project came to a halt with a damaged bearing hole in the aluminum gearbox case. I have to figure out how to repair it so I can finish the gearbox assembly.

    • Will the brass bushings you made work okay in place of oilite bushings? I'm not saying that they won't work, I'm just curious since I don't know 🙂

  • Hi Donn, just a suggestion; with your parts cleaner surround the bottom of the tank with 10 mm copper tubing. Drill 2 to 3 mm holes in one side of the tubing not completely through. Add a valve to adjust air through the solvent it’s not perfect but it does help with the heaver grime on the parts. I leave it bubbling all night, Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

    • @@CrewsyDepends what your range goals are. For 20-30 mile range and using Lithium cells I don't see weight being too much of an issue. I mean the thing has 8 large flotation tyres at low PSI so is always going to have reasonably low ground pressure even if loaded up with batteries. Realistically though you aren't going to be covering large distances in something like this as it has zero suspension and a pretty harsh ride (I've driven an Argo which is similar). It's also the batteries which are the expensive part, so keeping to a low-ish target range will keep the cost *and* the weight down.

      @DEADB33F@DEADB33F Жыл бұрын

    • @Charles Brainard Yes, but that's not something that would ever be within my budget personally so is of limited appeal. Converting a UTV or something like an Argo to be a relatively low speed, low range, low cost electric offroad farm workhorse is something I could see myself doing at some point. Not many examples of that sort of conversion around though.

  • brass will not hold p to a bronze bearing. I have made several brass bushing, they didn't last. I know you have the gear box together, but I would get bearing bronze or get the correct bushing. If you don't replace it, keep a good eye (ear) on any noise from the gear box. I enjoy your projects. PS, I was a tool maker so I have made many bushing in my time.

      @DonnDIY@DonnDIY Жыл бұрын

    • Scratch it, bronze is usually softer, that’s why it makes such a good bearing, the soft tin rich won’t weld to the hard steel surface. If tin based bearings ever over heat the tin oxidises, tin oxide is very hard and it rips apart the surface. I had to chase a bronze bearing recently and was pleasantly surprised at the price for a sintered bronze after I had seen the price of bronze bearing stock.

I went to the next size up bearing OD. Back then i didn't have a mill, so i got help from a friend and had him cut the bearing pocket next size up. It does work, but at least in my case (literally and figuratively) the bearing pocket boss, is just big enough to work. I always feel that one day i'll find that lathe gearbox explode or something, consequently, i don't use that lathe in its lowest gears. It does work, but not well.

  • I'd bore the chewed up transmission case out just enough to get a round bore and glue in a sleeve with a bearing retaining compound. (Loctite 680 is a good one) They're essentially super-glue for metal and a go-to problem solver of mine. Should be able to measure the center location from the opposite case half and transfer it over.
