DIY AWESOME Heavy duty engine stand, Geared spinning head

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

I think when people worry about the steel caster supports bending its just a misunderstanding of the actual amount of weight on that piece of angle. If I put that small piece of angle on the ground and drove a mid-size truck over it would it bend? What do you think?

[@savage6394]

I first watched this Build video about a year ago. Started my replication about 6 months ago. Finally found a S-cam in the scrap bin that has the correct spline count. I can now finish the build. I just wanted to say “Thank You” for the Phenomenal idea.

[@jimzivny1554]

Great use of an S-cam and slack adjuster, love the trap door to keep the shaft and zerks clean.

[@kurtsimmons1587]

Man I haven’t seen anyone use a blowtorch like that since I was a kid watching my dad! Everyone wants a plasma cutter anymore! Good job! I wish I would have learned from my dad!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

I wish my Dad had taught me more about engines. Maybe when he retires...... Thanks for watching! Have a great day!

[@dontnubblemebro]

I've had a bit to do with slack adjusters and that idea is goddamn brilliant! Subbed on that idea alone!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

My 5.0 is currently on it being rebuilt, its working perfectly. Thanks!!

[@jjbailey01]

The suspense of how you were going to grease the shaft bushings was tense until the end of the video. Great job!

[@besitstookeezbeshzhacuz9371]

Awesome Craftsmanship Bros 👁👁👍

[@zombienectar]

pretty kool. . slack adjuster for the gear drive. good one!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for dropping in!

[@marcusredding8440]

Excellent build! Thanks for the video

[@GypsyPaz]

Loved watching it come together without all the blabbing talk. TY

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Are you building one?

[@Iatolaazzahola]

Cool build. I've never worked with any brake slack adjusters, is your drive set up with a one way clutch for use in only one direction? Is it possible to set it up to work in both directions and still be safe?

[@gatitoconbotas634]

Donde lo consigo esa herramienta para girar color oro muchas gracias por el video

[@SaeedReal]

good idea , real engineer

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for watching!

[@eduardocobian3238]

It's not really finished is it? How is the engine fixed to the support? There are no bolts on the extreme of the pieces.

[@otmetalhed]

Thanks for great example and build.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@genesssisss]

Now this is a true metal worker

[@Lovetolivetruely]

Now that was badass!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

thanks!

[@doublek5583]

Where did you get the drill driven crank mechanism from thanks nice video

[@abepenner7497]

This is great. I've got s-cans, tubes, and slacks kicking around from a logging unit.

[@jimv3352]

I built 1 for my 800lb 7.3 diesel using a HF 2000lb engine stand.

[@Hank_Snow]

Why d'you have a compost pile goin' on yer bandsaw?

[@mariusz.8121]

Where can you buy such a gear ratio I'm writing from Poland thank you

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

This is off of a semi air brake system. A truck mechanic or repair shop will have these parts

[@mophead4812]

Great idea but i have seen a couple of videos and no one put a load on it!! Too me it qont work with the gearing on a slack adjuster

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

My buddy rebuilt my 5.0HO on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvcXp6MZ82neZY

[@mophead4812]

@@unitedstatesofbuild4915 great ok thanks.

[@brenthodges7202]

I used to build stuff like this all the time. Now a days though I tend to just buy new tools with warranties because it's honestly a better use of time. Instead of spending all the time making your own just buy one for much less. But again, I understand the whole built not bought aspect. I guess I've just grown out of that.

[@Spiritof_76]

Earned your way out of it.

[@Hisuka911]

Gut gemacht ❤️💪

[@revenupassif4393]

where i can buy spinning head. I don't know the exact name so I can't find it

[@acemogany6369]

What is the gold thing that you added to it

[@EarthshipFreedom]

Do you think the slack adjuster will hold its position if there was significant leverage against it? Like if I made a frame rotisserie using thus device.

[@roguepowersports3576]

Really nice build. Only thing I would question is the angle iron for the casters

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Yeh, Thats the week point but then again each of those pieces of angle would take hundreds of LBS to bend and there are 4 working together. Ill probably do an update video.

[@raysautorehabrestoration9182]

How I wish I could build this for myself

[@stevejanka361]

Good afternoon, what is that grinding wheel you have on your die grinder? It really cleans it up good for welding. I now have inspiration for my auto rotisserie. Thanks and take care.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Glad you found the video! The discs are Roloc style, they are super handy. Grinding discs: amzn.to/2CrPGuw

[@JohnSmith-qj4cf]

Can you give me the od a id of the two tunes used that the slack adjuster goes through re grease fitting thks please

[@Erklzanderz]

Slick build buddy! When can I come by to pick it up and borrow it? Im pulling my cummins motor to replace the piston cooling nozzles and that motor is a beast to try to turn over on a regular engine stand! I wish I had a decent welder to replicate your build. Awesome work though. I wonder what the capacity of this unit would be?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Im not sure what max cap is. I know those cummins are heavy. Ive had a couple 6bt's pass through the shop over the years. My little forklift will lift them, but she feels it.... Good luck on the repairs and thanks for watching!!

[@mshawnmhulett]

This is fawkin awesome!!!!

[@zafirahotochanel]

Nice work

[@bewimotos]

Are you using a Brake ratchet?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Slack adjuster.

[@silvianoayuzo554]

Cómo se llama esa matraca

[@24revealer]

I was wondering now that you've had a chance to use it, if you feel the original S-Cam bushings are adequate, or if you'd go with bearings next time?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Its been working fine. For how much it spins I think the bushings are ok.

[@CM-sd4gi]

Helpful and Thank you.

[@Sternhammer89]

What is the cleaning spray you used for the metal and then washed off?

[@jayer-su3hu]

Just standard foaming engine degreaser you buy at any auto parts store

[@tonyperformancecarandbike328]

hello what material do you need to do everything?

[@abduljakol5098]

what is the dimension of the mounting head plate ?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

If I recall what I did was looked up a couple mounting hole patterns of some small and big block engines (look for the circumference of all the holes) and then made sure I could adjust for all the common sizes.

[@PressureEd]

Good stuff.

[@rmmmodifikasi]

Good👍👍

[@mubeenahmedali]

love it. what is the golden colour thing you install at 5:42

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks, its called a 'manual slack adjuster'

[@chalinp4886]

That will last a life time

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Hopefully. I wish I had more opportunity to use it. Thanks for watching!

[@DF5152]

How well does the slack adjuster work once you have a built up engine on the stand?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

To be honest I havent had a chance to use it. My '47 for project went on hold because of my '53 chevy.

[@jessicav2510]

awesome

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for watching!

[@buhaykabos609]

Great

[@josepeixoto3384]

01:12 you sped up *the fireworks* ... real speed w'd have been nice too :(

[@iulian-gabrieltroeanu7406]

can you please tell me how is called that piece from 7:09 ? that thing with gears

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

'manual slack adjuster' let me know if you need any additional info.

[@lonniedavy9365]

he's not showing us how it works with the weight of the engine. I don't think it would work.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Works like a dream kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS4lmuggNOpqbs

[@gilvallejo4519]

Let's see it rotate with an engine on it

[@e2910]

That is not a real engine stand all of the steel used looks extremely light duty, how coud the front wheels hold up if there welded on angle iron. Cheap cheap crappy project should if left it as scrap metal.

[@grapejewcer]

Have you seen the thickness of the Chinese engine stands that everyone uses? It's less than this and I just had my big block on one with no problems. This stand looks plenty strong. I'll agree about the caster mounts, those look like they'll have a little flex but it probably wont matter.

[@phillyarrow0898]

Lets see your stand pal this one will hold a fully dressed big block Chevy all day long.

[@savage6394]

Elias Lara who Pee’d in your Cheerios?!?! Damn Dude! The stand he built has about Double the steel used in almost every Engine stand you can purchase. Check the next video he has with a fully dressed Ford small block on it. It barley has any flex. Plus he actually has control as he spins the motor unlike the manual ones that spin with NO control at all.

[@Allroundfixer]

Why the stupid, annoying music?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

A common problem I was running into was copyright issues. If I had the radio on in my shop and youtube recognized the song then the video would get flagged. If I overlay with free music then the youtube algorithm cant ID the songs anymore.
