Southbend Sliding Gear Repair

[@phantomphixer679]

Congratulations on the baby girl. Mine is 33 this year. They will wrap you around their little fingers for the rest of your life. Still brings a smile to my face.

[@KC2DZB]

Welcome to team pink! Our baby girl arrived last April, and has been such a source of joy. You'll be wrapped around her finger in no time!

[@Halligan142]

I wouldn't doubt it. She'll learn that from my wife

[@engelbob8402]

Congratulations Greg! Daddy's little girl is one of life's great joys. Your videos are among the best on YT. Keep them coming and thanks.

[@Halligan142]

Thank you!

[@skiphill9]

Congratulation on the news of the future "Lord and Master" of the household!!! ;) . You and your wife's life will never be the same! Great repair job thanks for sharing!

[@Halligan142]

Thanks!

[@MR6.5]

Many thanks to you for this video! It enabled e to diagnose my 16" SB lathe slide gear issue and make the needed repair! Could not have done it without your help! THANKS!!!

[@bruceconnor7597]

Hi Greg congrats on your daughter's announcement, as a dad and a grandpa I have 4 little girls and they are the hi lite of my life. I'am sure that she will turn out to be a fine machinist. regards bruce

[@johnstrange6799]

Congrats! Thanks for all of the videos. I finally got my 13" going, and I love it! :)

[@davidrichards5594]

Great serviceable repair, might be a common failure on SBs. Looks like you did a little reading between take 1 and 2. I commend your determination....Dave

[@anthonycash4609]

Greg congratulations on the new arrival of a little girl in may. Hope all goes well , let us know when she arrives. Make a lot of videos between now and then. Something tells me you will be real busy after may. Lol. Very happy for you and your wife.

[@Halligan142]

I'll need some quiet time. That's shop time to me :-)

[@BleuJurassic]

Congratulations on your little girl. that looks a nice torch

[@Lawnmowerman02346]

Great repair , check out some black smith heat treating videos . It's all about the steel . Congratulations on being a dad , no money / no sleep / and no more shop time ! It's worth it ! There pretty tough so don't be afraid you'll brake her . Good Luck !

[@Halligan142]

I'm good with the no sleep and no money, but there will be shop[ time. Gotta stay sane somehow :-)

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

From another HVAC guy, congrats on the daughter! Have you started shopping for mini vans yet? Just kidding... Always enjoy your videos. Keep'um coming, Dean

[@RGSABloke]

Greg, loved TBFATE, nearly wet my knickers laughing. Thanks for sharing. Kindest regards. Joe.

[@shawncalhoon4718]

Congrats on your new family member!!!

[@Halligan142]

Thanks!

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi. Is that a right hand thread or a left when unscrewing the shaft / Nice job on that Thanks

[@Halligan142]

Right hand thread. Only left hand I can remember off hand is the screw in the middle of the star wheel clutch.

[@shutterbugg5217]

I've been going through your 13" refurb videos over the last few weeks or more. I am in the process of refurbing a 1941 13"x5'. I couldn't find any details on how to remove the shafts from the banjo/bracket or the ones in the reversing lever. I don't think my 1 ton arbor press is big enough, and I don't have a hydraulic press (yet). Can you offer any tips on how I can get those free so I can be sure I am refurbing it the best I can?

[@ericschneider2188]

Nice work on the vids! I have been watching your 13" restore as I am restoring my heavy 10. Besides being smaller, it was built the very same as yours like the 2 bolt spindle bearing caps w/o bronze bearings and the underdrive with bushings. My lathe has the "war" stamps on the bed but what is coolest is the tag that says "Chicago Ordinance Dist". Did you put felts in the open top jack shaft bearing castings? Did you make "caps for the tops of the bearing castings? Love the vids and keep up the excellent work!

[@andregranum7896]

Congratulations on the happy news. Could you give some accurate info on the torch and tips, and the exact brazing rod you used? Also the OD of the brazed part? I found this video very interesting, oxy-acet. equipment is terribly expensive here (Norway). Thanks for all the nice videos.

[@Halligan142]

Basically this set with an a-5, a-11, and a-32 tip to cover my brazing needs for work hooked to a B size acetylene tank. I used 3/32 flux coated bronze rod with extra powdered flux. www.esabna.com/us/en/products/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.product&productCode=V445152

[@andregranum7896]

Thanks, that's good to know. I was hoping it was some sort of propane arrangement. Where I live, a small home shop size acetylene bottle is around $500 to $600, and a fill up about $200, so I'll have to stick to my big propane torch, and silver braze. Again, thanks for the videos.

[@mikenixon9164]

Congrats on the baby girl good video.

[@OuroborosArmory]

Girls can be machinists too. Teach her all you know :)

[@pacokelly5536]

Congrats on being a daddy God bless you and yours

[@Halligan142]

Thanks!

[@oldschool1993]

Why not just turn both grooves out to the next larger ball size and drill out the hole for the ball and spring to the larger size?

[@robertoswalt319]

Congratulations on the news about your daughter. My bet is that she will have you wrapped around her little finger within the first week. 8-)

[@atcaleb]

May flowers comes to my mind, youll have a lil may flower. Good for you, best wishes to your family.

[@Halligan142]

But it's a combo of me and my wife so we'll see :-)

[@terrylarotonda784]

Congratulations on your little girl.

[@billmaguire6216]

Greg, I know nothing about SB lathes and listening through your audio It seemed to me your gears were set just a little close. In my ear buds it was growling. The gears those mesh with can they be adjusted. Just curious. Congrats on your daughter, Great video, have fun, Bill

[@Halligan142]

Unfortunately they are in a fixed position. The only mesh that is adjustable (at least on the single tumblers) is the mesh of the first banjo gear to the stud gear.

[@swarfrat311]

Congrats on you guys having a daughter, Dad. Why do I get the impression that when your daughter is old enough to date, you will be waiting at the front door with a shotgun? Thanks for the interesting repair video. The braze should hold your ball in place (sexual pun intended). If it wears out, you can rinse and repeat. Are you guys finally out of the "deep freeze"? Have a good one! Dave

[@Halligan142]

We were, but then it got cold again. At least it's double digits although snow tomorrow

[@jimkodysz5404]

Congratulations to you and your wife, Greg! I've got a feeling that "Daddy's little girl" is going to be spoiled rotten! 👍👪

[@RyanWeishalla]

Nice repair.

[@bradgeary3467]

thank you

[@coldformer1]

stick with the turbo torch and save your money for pampers and a tig torch you and your little lady will both be happy

[@jimmyfiggs6293]

Congrats. on the new family addition. So when are you going to start selling your machine shop ?

[@coldformer1]

when pigs fly

[@Halligan142]

When I'm in the ground

[@Halligan142]

When I'm in the ground

[@jimmyfiggs6293]

I hope that is many years from now.

[@lepompier132]

The best option would have been to make a new one. Ok you have to recut threads, but the part would have been perfect from the start.

[@tek4]

Congrulations on the daughter

[@Halligan142]

Thanks!

[@kevindobbins-callahan4995]

Congratulations!

[@gaetanpelletier951]

what brazing rod did you use

[@Halligan142]

3/32 flux coated bronze rods. Plus a little extra powdered flux on the side

[@robertkutz]

nice repair .

[@midgoog2]

Congrats on the impending Princess. Is it too early to be Rottweiler and shotgun shopping to "protect" her from her choice of companion later down the track. Cheers Eric

[@Halligan142]

Instead of watchdogs I have watchcats

[@gaetanpelletier951]

nice job
