The boom seems somewhat unnecessary especially since you have a tractor with a loader to lift things.

That is true in some cases, but the tractor is not always available.

Do you think a regular lawn tractor will be able to pull it around on flat land?
@vermontrockymeadowfarm8164 Жыл бұрын
I think so, but a lot will depend on the size of your lawn tractor. An 18 or 20 horse should do, but 10 to 15 might struggle. The trailer comes with a ball hitch so you might have to convert it if your lawn tractor has no provisions to add a hitch ball. Depending on what you are filling the trailer with, you could over load it easily for a lawn tractor as it is really designed for an ATV.

I just got one of these today. It has been fixed/modified a few times. The gear shaft is super loose even worse than yours. I think with the belt and gas motor, your new shaft will get worn quickly. I got it when I picked up some old electric wheel chairs. They have 24 volt motors on each wheel and a 18:1 gear reduction, so they are almost perfect to run the mixer, at 12v it is 100rpm, 200rpm at 24v, the bucket gear is 10:1, so 10-20 rpm is good, and now you can run it on a 12v battery, no motor noise, and the wheelchair gears have bearings to correct the bucket gear slop. Anyways, nicely done, great to see videos like this.

I have this trailer. When installing the tub, you simply connect the winch to the front ring, and lift the front about 1 foot then slide it into position, then lower the front with the winch. The boom extends far enough back for this

For a moment I thought y’all were going to put the chain to the rear lift on the tractor, pull forward and make the arm rotate down lol. I’ve seen versions of the front end but perhaps not the back end. Also why not just use a small chain hoist at the end? What if you’re working by yourself and don’t have enough weight to get it down 😂

Just going off memory, I think Sears dropped the name "Roebuck" about 1966, So for a product to last over 55 years is amazing. I've had mine for over 35 years, I bought it used from my brother in law and he had it for over ten years, and he got it used. I would guess I have poured over 2000 80bs bags using this mixer. I have replaced the electric motor, drive shaft, tires and belt. One more note, on the main gear the one around the mixing drum and drive, don't grease, use a dry lube like graphite. Any sand /concrete that gets mixed with the grease will cause more wear than if you didn't use anything. Also grease the two fittings after each use to remove any water that might get into the bushing bearings.

Yes these are wonderful mixers, no comparison to what you can buy today. Thanks for the lubrication tips!
@dennisoneal85052 жыл бұрын
you could have used brass shim stock to take up the small slack on the new shaft. I have the same mixer and took my drive shaft to a machine shop to get a new shaft made. He thought the shaft was pressed on and when he put it in the press it off to remove he broke the gear in two halves. He called me to tell me and I thought he was kidding me. I told him it was a very old mixer and I wouldn't be able to buy another gear, so he welded it back and it has been working ever since. He didn't charge me for the repair. Anyway mine had the same slack as yours did with the new shaft so I used the brass shim stock and it worked great.
@vermontrockymeadowfarm81642 жыл бұрын
We thought the same thing that the gear was pressed on the shaft. Fortunately when cleaning off years of grease and dirt we found the sheer pin. You were lucky the machine shop was able to repair their mistake.
