Pullmax P13: Inspection and Oil Change

[@honeycuttracing]

Great call on that teflon tap idea, wouldn't have ever thought of that!

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

A suggestion on a item to keep on hand. It is called gasket tack made by Permatex. It is made to hold your gasket I place while installing it. Very nice machine you got there.Thanks for sharing

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks!

[@adambergendorff2702]

Watched to see the inside of pullmax, great shot explaining how the stroke is adjustable! Looking to buy or build one in the southwest USA, hope you still use and enjoy your machine.

[@drummerhammar]

Mooi, nooit eerder gezien zoiets.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Ik een paar maand geleden ook nog niet ;-)

[@Kevin-gx8lc]

Hi Bart, what an excellent machine! It's going to be a fantastic addition to your shop and I can't wait to see one of your design projects coming to life using it. As always, greetings from Southport UK.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks Kevin, and yes it will be a great machine to work on for future projects

[@user-vb1bn2kv4r]

hi from Russia/ I will try to explain to you about vibration, look towards balancing the crankshaft of the engines. The balance at the extreme points of the eccentric must be balanced! On your machine, I see not a typical flywheel on the motor shaft, perhaps they changed the internal balancer, or tried to balance high speeds with the flywheel ... Maybe the flywheel on the motor was misaligned ... I think the internal part was well balanced at the factory (if they did not change details). Therefore, for starters, you can try to get rid of this flywheel or adjust it

[@thonnogeengineering7745]

I would say it is completely normal for these to vibrate the weight you are talking about would be to keep the crank and connecting rod balanced, but you are still going to have momentum from the connecting rod throwing the machine side to side as it moves over and back

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks for the commend. And I agree that there is still some momentum in the connecting rod going left to right. But I still find it difficult to believe that a machine like this would shake so much when it came out the factory.

Он ещё и гнёт и рихтует, оснастка меняется. У нас на заводе есть такой механизм

[@aesirmetalwyrksthed1713]

Great Video. I just got a SMV Nibbler Senior. I have do similar things. It definitely needs a oil change, some rust clean up and a better base.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks, and have fun with yours.

[@saleemahmed2950]

My opinions to remove vibration. .. - remove beam supports and Put the machine down on foundation with proper anchors. .. - Change the motor running direction. .. Hope you will see good results

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks, I did change the direction and it doesn't make a difference. I cant bolt it down but I will make a more solid foundation to the floor with wider and heavier feet.

Hello from France, Bart ! Nice machine Guy ! I've just bought the same one, last week. I've found the Pullmax P13 Manual on Facebook : By Pullmax Owners Group ! POG 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And there is a lot off tooling pictures and Pullmax manuals. Oil capacity is about 0,6 liter. Enjoy with your new machine. Laurent. 😉🇫🇷

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks!! Hope France is not to bad with the Corona at this moment. Here is still 'ok'. Nice that you have the same, also bought the same time. I will give the FB group a try. Is yours shaking like this as well?

[@artmetalconcept-france8640]

@@bartharkemametalworks2299 I have not yet tested the machine : I am currently building new feet for it. The old ones were lost by the previous owner ... The electricity is still to be redone. I also just saved the two-speed engine: it was full of water ... Your machine is a very nice copy compared to mine! I still have a lot of work to make it work ...

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

@@artmetalconcept-france8640 Thanks, I live in the North of the Netherlands. So far Corona is not to bad but I think there will be more healthcare problems in the next few weeks. Nice to see your machine in the pictures. Did you get all the tooling that is on the picture? Thats great! Mine came without any tools so I have to make it all myself. And yes, I will definitely make larger and stronger feet with 4 rubber contact points. And I did find the manual on the FB group, Thanks!!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

I've never seen one of those machines before, will be cool to see some other things it does. It sure beats tin snips for cuts like you were just making!

[@kierondesmond7791]

That's a great pair of tin snips you've got there. Loving your channel =D

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks 👍 btw It does fingernails to 😉

[@henrikhv5084]

Nice Machine Bart :-) you a lucky to find so much good stuff :-) I have never seen a pullmax P13 before, but I can see where it comes in handy. take care Bart, hope to see another video soon ;-) Henrik

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks! I will make many different dies for it so I can also do forming and punching. Will be a lot of fun.

[@danboyles1388]

Bart by the look of the oil coming out my guess is that it was stored in an unheated building for quite awhile and as a result had a large buildup of condensation inside. Will be fine now that you have flushed it out.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Hi Dan! yes, I think it even was outside for some time. There was a lot of water inside the toolholder to. But its in better condition now.

[@RockingJOffroad]

[@smithparkins4862]

3 years late. check for wiggle when it is out of neutral. you will find that the flywheel is balanced for when the internal mechanism is set for use..

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Maybe 3 years ago, but still relevant. Thanks

[@tomwagemans1872]

Deze heb ik ook te koop zien staan. Daar ga je plezier aan beleven!

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Haha, ja kleine wereld zo. Maar zeker een machine die ik veel zal gaan gebruiken en het werk een stuk makkelijker en sneller maakt.

[@tomwagemans1872]

Ik kijk er naar uit wat je er allemaal mee gaat maken.

[@a.bakker64]

Jeetje, een Pullmax. Best een veelzijdige machine. Ik maakte eens een achteraanslag/langsgeleiding, voor een schoolproject in 1982. Dit was met een zwaluwstaart op het onderste deel van het ‘C-frame’. De aanslag was dus verstelbaar in voor en achter, maar ook in de hoogte. De trillingen: Bij het olie verversen had je het over a counterweight. Is die misschien verdraaibaar, waardoor de massa van de krukas en drijfstang kunt compenseren? Die deksel op de voorkant, in het verlengde van de motoras, als je die er af haalt, kun je dan dat contragewicht verdraaien?

[@mftmachining]

You also could have made a new gasket, it only takes 5 minutes to do......always have some sheet gasket paper in the shop in various thicknesses, it always pays off.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Yes but i didn't have the material for that.

[@antonschuiterd6821]

Hoi, gaaf filmpje! Toevallig heb ik net een pullmax gekocht en was benieuwd of je misschien de manuels die je hebt wilt delen?

[@TLervis]

Congratulations! Such a great find. I have plans for shrinking dies that I can email you.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks! And if you could email the plans that would be great! e mail : bartharkema at g mail dot com.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

I have a D3 pullmax... not sure what the "D" means but it's equivalent to a much larger "P" series machine. Mine has a thick rubber insulator between the frame and the legs..don't know if that's factory or a modification... maybe that might work for you.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Hi Jeff, I havent seen a Pullmax with rubber insulator in between. I think for this one I want it as solid as possible but can give a rubber insulator also a try.

[@ismaelparga5349]

Your motor lineup is off for that reason is shaking a little.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Thanks for the information. Can you explain what you mean? And how can I check / correct this?

[@ismaelparga5349]

Barts Metalwork I work construction and we do some water treatment plants and, when we installed the electric motor to the actual pump, we higher an specialized person to line the shaft of the pump to the motor. You can check the alignment by looking at the shaft coming out of the motor.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

@@ismaelparga5349 Thanks, I will check the alignment of the motor. There is a flexible (rubber) coupler between the two shafts so a little misalignment shouldn't be a problem.

[@artmetalconcept-france8640]

For me, the base of your Pullmax is too small... There is only two contact points. I think it'll better to have four base points. Manual P13 recommanded 685 mm large, for the base...

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Yes a will make a better base in the future. Besides stability i'm to afraid it will tip over one day. And I have enough metal laying around to make some nice feed.

[@Tonioostendorp]

Bofbibs!

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Yep! And I know it's not meant for forging but I will put some hot metal between some dies and see what will happen...

[@huibhoogendoorn503]

Bart je olie slingering gaat linksom niet goed, volgens mij komt er nu geen olie bij je lagering.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Dank voor de info. Met linksom bedoel je tegen de klok in toch zoals ik het aan het eind heb aangesloten? (Even voor de zekerheid). Want de handleiding die ik van de P5 en P21 heb gezien zeggen beide dat de motor tegen de klok in moet lopen. Voor mijn gevoel slingert de balans as dan ook genoeg olie in het rond voor het bovenste lager maar zeker weet ik het niet. Heb je meer info / ervaring met deze machines?

[@huibhoogendoorn503]

@@bartharkemametalworks2299 neegeen ervaring Bart, maa rf gevoelsmatig slingert de olie nu naar de andere kant van het olie resevoir waardoor het niet tegen de V aankomt om aldaar naar beneden te druppen in het lager. Kijk met een perspex plaatje als afdekking erop.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

@@huibhoogendoorn503 oke, ik kan idd wel een keer kijken met perspex als deksel.

[@bartharkemametalworks2299]

Ik heb de originele handleiding van deze machine gevonden en ook die geeft rotatie tegen de klok in als correcte richting. Dus ik ga er nu maar vanuit dat het goed zit met de oil.

[@huibhoogendoorn503]

Bart dan zal het ongetwijfeld de juiste draairichting zijn. Was van mij maar gedachte, mede door de draaipijl die het vliegwiel staat. Je zou de vorige eigenaar nog kunnen raadplegen.

Thank you, and thanks for the feedback. And I understand that this is an imported part on YT video's. Yes I can / will improve slowly on my English. But it is not my native language and I still find it very difficult to explain everything. Sometimes I need to look up words and do several video's to get it right. It takes a long time. But I think that it will improve slowly so lets set that as a goal for the next few video's.
