looks great. never seen one of these torn down like this. love the babbit pour! nice work
I worked as a union millwright for 9 years. That is the first time I have seen a babbet bearing poured.
That is a sweet project
Very nice work. I am sure it will be rewarding to use your power hammer, knowing that you did the work to get it back into operation.
Yes, it is quite rewarding. Anything that goes wrong with it now, I know just what it is and how to fix it. Also nice that there isn't an inch thick layer of grease on all the parts. Thanks for the comment
Eres grande amigo, muy admirable, es bronce lo que fundes como bujes?
Glad you have had luck with Andrew Alexander. I haven't been able to get him to follow through or keep his word on anything.
Cool man. I’m looking at one here this weekend, needs babbitt..... and a motor... 3.5k....
What color of green paint did you use?
Cool video. Well done on a job well done.
I'm still trying to work out how you managed to make the bearing from Babbitt where was the mould and what did you use to make the mould. I think my trouble is I'm watching on an iPhone and my eyes are painted on so not much vision happening cheers buddy
Iain, if you haven't seen already, please check out my most recent video. It was made specifically to answer your question! Thanks
What was it you melted /poured to make the bearing surfaces?
That would be Babbitt, a tin, antimony, copper, and lead alloy material that provides a smooth soft surface that matches the shaft perfectly. It's soft enough to where the bearing wears down instead of the shaft, and it wicks oil nicely across the surface.
Iron Wolf Industrial awesome, thanks!
I have a buffalo New York rivot forge can you do a video on replacing the legs
I do not have one of those forges, therefore cannot make a video on replacing the legs.
Iron Wolf Industrial thank you and the video was very helpfull
That looks like such a complicated rebuild. I know for a fact I would forget how to put everything back together and would have to get some professional help.
All you have to do is take pictures the whole process and just be really organized and separate all the parts with labels on where's they came from
Emmanuel Selvas Yea, but there's so many parts to lose track of. I'm sure it us doable.
Wyatt Kindler all you need is the proper tools good organisation and a can do additude I'm sure it's possible
It was indeed quite complicated, and hopefully this video might help you in the future. I took just a few pictures, and that was enough to figure the rest out. Thanks for the comment
That's awesome, I just received my 50#. I'm going to need new bearings. My breaks look like a break pad. It looks like yours were wood. What size motor do you have on yours?
Yeah, that's the one downside to the Little Giant design, those damned Babbit bearings. I'd have cut the housing off the casting and mounted a couple nice pillow block bears on a plate and just given that a nice update. Ok, I see a major problem with your set up. Your motor is located where it will pick up fillings and small bits and pieces and short out your motor. The up side is, right now, you have a working power hammer. Good job.
It's a sealed motor
