4x4 PTO Driven Timber Trailer BUILD Ep.8 - Differential To Beam Axle
PTO driven 4x4 timber trailer build - cleaning BMW E39 independent rear suspension differential half axles in the sandblasting cabinet. Turning in the lathe to size and welding on additional CNC laser cut flanges to accommodate the CNC-machined adapters for the 60 mm axles for the tandem axle chain housings. Fabricating a tool for turning down the modified BMW half axle to size. Checking the run-out of the shafts with a dial gauge. Turning the BMW half axle new flanges down to size and giving a centering edge so they fit together with the CNC machined adapters. Threading the flanges. Cutting off the old mounting ears of the BMW differential since they now interfere with the larger diameter flanges. Pressing back in the BMW half shafts and mounting the CNC machined adapters and shaft extenders. Sandblasting and painting the modified BMW differential. Jacking up and mocking up the now completed differential unit under the frame of the 4x4 PTO driven timber trailer with hydraulic crane. Starting to build the sliding movable axle frame that allows for load balance point adjustment on-the-fly but running into a fitment problem. The weld inside the 90x90x4mm rectangular tube prevents it from sliding on the 80x80x4mm frame tube. So I have to figure out a way of removing it. And a crude temporary fly-cutter is born out of an old rusty horse carriage axle and a cutting edge made from tool steel. Check it all out in the video! Stay tuned for the next episode & thanks for watching!

Very interested in seeing how this works out for you. Could you have used a thin sanding belt grinder type thing
You need do a Q and A who are you were you get the skills and training.

Pretty clever solution in removing the weld seam!
Seriously, I’m not sure I would’ve thought about doing it that way, but it worked so well!
The last time I removed a weld seam, I used flap wheel sanding discs on a homemade extension on a cordless drill, only took about 30 odd wheels and 2 days of cursing lol, Donn is certainly an inspiration, I was making adjustable legs for a trailer.
Smart but also dangerous, in my opinion
@@matoivic5977 very dangerous, riding his luck there lol
Такого токарного "извращения " я ещё не видел 👍. Молодец , классно придумал , котелок варит конкретно!!!
This is the most impressive build yet. I just can’t get enough of it
Yeah, I know what you mean. It's also along the lines of something I wanted to build. Wish I had the cash to afford the metals and parts I'd need, but my kids needs come first. Truth be told, I'm feeling a little giddy with anticipation to see this Hand-made trailer and ATV going through the paces.
This video is what I do love about the KZhead community. People can share ideas and stuff. Removing that weld seam was brilliant. Not likely something I would have come up with and I've been machining and fabricating a long time. The build is similar to something I've had percolating in my head for years. It's great we can learn things and pass them on.
The adjustable wheel base is so unexpected but yet so obviously necessary. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 As always it’s great to watch someone that’s so forward thinking and innovative.

Your Line Boring Machine idea was excellent. Enjoy watching you work through these issues. Thanks very much for sharing.
8th grade took metal shop, got hooked, been welding ever since. for fun and made a living. now i just fiddle around. thx for ur time making this vid
Your solution for removing the weld seam was pure genius.
And yet again the old Adapt...overcome and improvise rule comes into effect! PRETTY GOOOOOD ! Love ya work Donn. Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE 🇭🇲👍🦘🐨👍🇭🇲🇪🇪🇪🇪
That line boring hack to remove the weld is a stroke of genius. Going to file that away for future.
Hi Donn, That seam removal was genius, I always considered myself pretty good at custom fabricating, but you are lights years ahead of the game. Just a joy to see how you make things work. Take care my friend, and thanks for the video.
Love when all the machined parts fit together perfectly.
you can buy seamless tubing in any size, when i build a big trailer an set it up so the wheels can move back an forth i dont used a tubing as salt, mud an rush freezes them solid, just 2 heavy flat bars on the side in 3 spots with a spring loaded pin, one on each side. same way a tractor trailer is made
Agree..my thoughts too..
Those B-loc’s will definitely handle the load. We use them on quite a lot of our high load equipment at work with zero issues
This is the first episode that YT suggested I watch. That's when I decided to wait until each segment was done so I could watch the whole series start/finish; a great decision. Since I'd never heard of this channel before then I now have MANY series to watch start/finish; *after I subscribe that is.* 👍
Awesome Donn, that'll work PRETTY GOOD !! Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Awesome Donn, you're a mechanical genius 👍
Great idea for getting them welds shaved down. This build is one of my favorite. Thanks Donn love what your doin. See you on the next episode my dude..
Great job Donn 👏 👏 👏
Your build quality is going through the roof brother. Very impressive 👏. An inspiration for everyone trying to solve an problem by creating something from nothing and some re-purposed parts and materials and end up with a tool or machine that nobody else has and everyone wants. We'll done
Блиииин.... Такого оригинального решения я не видел. Здорово!
Amazing the technic used to remove the internal seam of tube! Your projects are awesome! Sorry for any grammar error, my english is not so good!
Your English is better than our current "president".
@@haroldphipps3457 Thanks!
I tell you what, your channel and maybe acouple of others are my favorites!! It's amazing to watch all the things you build! Thank you for sharing your time with us 👏!
I 100% agree! So entertaining and motivating.
Man, I can't wait to see this thing run!
Your videos are more interesting than any TV show. I look forward to the next episode !!
Love you're videos all the way from Australia
The Fireball channel has a video on removing these weld seams in other simple ways. Everybody comes up with a different solution, but its always good to know one or two more tricks. Awesome job!
Brilliant solution to the inside seam of that square tube!!!
Looks good Donn. One suggestion that we use at work, when using a roll of tape, bend the last few mm of the tape back on itself to make a pull tab for removal. Its so much easier than looking for the end of the tape, either on the roll, or where you applied the tape.
Oh that is smart.
Even better is to back wrap the tape so the sticky doesn't get on what you are protecting.
@@visionisscaryYTg we hand a lot of plastic for power washing, and use LOTS of tape and zip ties. My boss taught us to do this.
@@Farm_fab Did you even understand what I wrote? (apparently not)
Brilliant idea on cutting that weld seam down. I’ll remember that. I just did one with a long chisel in the air hammer, it worked but that is a great idea the way you did it.
I'm from Brazil and I love your videos
Eu tbm kkkk

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Very nice work !! I really like the idea for removing the mill seam from the tube !! This is coming along very nicely excellent work !!👍👍
I absolutely enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion.. Have a Blessed weekend
I'm in love with your blasting cabinet
fireballtool made a cuter that pulls through the tube that did a great job of removing the internal weld at the seam
I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had recommended this video. Well worth checking out Donn, could save you time in the future.
So excited to see the whole process. Thank you for sharing this content. Regards, from Argentina.
Donn, now that was spectacular thinking outside the box.👍
You got to do the hand tool rescue thing when using a sand blaster !!! Also just got cough up on the build, lot beefier then I expected and the log crane is sweet!
Great project!! Making thing adjustable is smart and gets you proceed a head with out figure everything out before fabrication
Finishing a square tube on the inside is an ingenious tool.
Excellent machining work!
Very clever way to remove the weld seam 👍, nice work. 👍
That's going to be sweet. Love it Donn.
I had no idea how you were going to solve that inner weld seam. Good job!
Great work - as always!
Your engineering skills are second to none. Your craftsmanship is amazing an inspiring love all ur content as usual. Just keep doin you buddy ur talent an skill is amazing.
Great. Loving the progress 👍👍👍👍
Another Great Video Donn .. only problem never enough hours in a day .. love the way you cut the weld out ,, hope the drive shaft part slides longer and shorter just as well ..
This is going to be one sweet trailer can't wait...
Read the manual on the keyless coupling. You are actually supposed to tighten the bolt next to the bolt you just did and go in a circle, a few times. So not like a car wheel or steam valve etc. And use a torque wrench. They work great though, less machining, wider tolerance and better centered. Keep it up!
Another great video. Thank you Donn
Fireball Tool make a hole video about removing weld seams from tubing. Maybe wanna have a look in case you have to do it again? keep up the great work.
Great looking work that you do, Donn. Fireball Tool had a good way of using high speed steel and a piece of steel cut to the shape of the inside of the tubing for removing the weld seam, so that even if the seam is off-center in the tube it will still cut it out. just need some all-thread rod to go with it.
I appreciate fireball's ideas/builds; especially the vise he built awhile back, but the nonstop talking/explaining finally drove me away. I tried the "mute," but he does much of his work when he's not talking, so nothing was happening [on my end]. Don't misunderstand, I get talking re: some of the important parts of a build, but Donn's captions are enough for the 95% who get what they're seeing. If not, questions will fix those frowns: 🙁🤔😏😉😃😁
@@DanKoning777 Everyone has a style that they enjoy to watch and a style they don't enjoy as much. Lucky for us that there are so many people contributing here.
6:20 those look almost identical to those that are used in our mechanical garbage sorting machine we use at work. They lock the pullies to the eccentric shaft that move the sieves. All powered by one big electric motor. The forces involved are a bit teriffying to me I can't wait to finally see your trailer in full action!
Neat! I'm excited to see the next one!
Coming along great love it.
I am LIKING this trailer! Very impressively done. The adjustable driven axle is a 1st, that I know of. There are plenty of adjustable trailer axles (most of the 18 wheeler trailers in North America, I think), but I've not heard of one this small, nor of a driven adjustable one. You'll have to keep the slider greased up so it'll work well, but keep on top of the daily grease points, and you'll be on decently good shape. I'd build the slider differently, with either teflon slides or conveyor rollers, but this'll work well. I'm looking forward to seeing it with both final drives in place, and being tested for fore-and-aft movement of the entire arrangement. That will validate whether this will work. I think it's an idea that should be further explored. Good job!!
VERY WELL DONE, THANKS FOR SHARING
Nice! All your projects are going to be more detailed over time. Also, the tools you are making for projects 🤪Cheers mate!
I like your line boring idea for removing the weld seam. I thought you were just going scrape the seam away by moving the carriage with the 'planer' fixed to the round bar... I always enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing
Nobody could ever accuse you of under engineering something that’s for sure!
Good work!! Keep going 😊
Your hobbies are so interesting!
Those axels are heavy duty! Interesting way of removing the seem in the box section we usually just use a die grinder but wouldn’t end up as clean as that
Awesome job 👏
Well done, great idea.
You should look into a surface conditioning tool, it uses drums that are either just scotch-brite or a combination of sand paper and scotch-brite and sand paper. It strips rust and scale right off of metal
More a vide very very amazing, congratulations!!
Nice blast cabinet ...
Marvellous work
cools down my room very well and yes it does come with the panels (i made the mistake of assuming that it didn’t since no one in the reviews mentioned it or even the description and bought a whole separate pair)
Amazing. Great job bro 👌👌👌
This thing is going to weigh about the same as the moon by the time you're finished! And I probably would have just used a powerfile to remove the inner box seams.
Love the rearend u use I have the car it goes in lol
That play in the shafts is nothing to worry about, it will become linear as they spin
it's easy to build most anything when u have all the right machinery!!
The machines are important but not as important as knowing how to solve problems, or better yet, design without problems in the first place
So are you making an adjustable (floating) axle? No matter awesome build, can't wait to see whats next.
Great stuff👍
Great video
Your a very clever boy good stuff.
Старый добрый 1к62 советский
Very very good job bro
good job on the weld seam but most people would just use an angle grinder to cut a groove in the other tube for the weld seam to ride in . it takes all of 15 minutes to grind a small channel in the tube for the weld and saves a days work . still your answer was very elegant and makes for a better looking job in the end .
Fireball Tool KZhead channel has some other ways of removing seam welds as well. He has a lot of good fabrication tips.
Impresionante en los detalles excelente como siempre ingeniero A1 Saludos desde Puerto Rico
Very nice
Wow that was clever dude
I made boring bars for the lathe when I was in the Navy. I drilled all the way through, broached the hole square. Drilled and tapped hole for set screw(grub screw) to hold cutter and used a depth micrometer to set the cutting distance.
Indeed, he could have drilled a hole to hold the tool. But he would have ruined the whole bar.
A diff like built for a tank, wow! :-D
Always disapointment with your videos! Only because I wish they would not end. Very cool builds! Where did you get your training and equipment? I know you built your own plasma table.
incredible love it inspiring
Clever 🥹 some Quick attachers tho a ”bucket” on the wagon and bucket attachment to the crane and you gona have à nice setup with dual posibillites, Sorry for bad grammar, Cher’s from Sweden 😊
Great work, idol
I've thought about doing something similar but with an electric motor for those times when things get sticky. It would also be nice to use to move the trailer around the house and into tight spots.
Beau travail ( beautiful Job)👍👍👍👍👍
You definitely have a DIY Engineers degree
