Rebuilding a Engcon Tiltrotator to get correct coupling

[@VagiPeti]

When you cut away this tiltrotator... I told OMG this is very sketchy. Then you started to extend the parts and I said. DAAAAAAM this guy is supersmart and brave and talented. Awesome build, congratulations!

[@brianvalliere552]

Good content 👍🏼. You are clearly a hard worker to have such equipment, tools, shop… at a relatively young age. Keep up the good work. I love Andrew’s content also but it seams the Swedish version of Andrew thinks through his problems a bit better lol.

Hej tack. Enjoyed your video and have subscribed after watching you do your work and also showing the countryside. Its nearly 50 years since my freind and I travelled around Sweden for a couple of months and absolutely loved the counry and the people. Brought back some good memories. We live just south of Cambridge in the uk. Thanks again.

Hi,I admire you're commitment to you're equipment and all the mechanical plant in the workshop,wish you stayed near me would love to spend a couple of days working alongside you please keep up the good work,bonus for me is when you weld it's stick welding, I know you also do mig regards for now all the best from Scotland ⚙️⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@TrailTrackers]

@Michael McBride : I wouldn't really say that... As far as lots of projects, sure. But this guy actually fixes stuff right. He may purchase used stuff, but he repairs it like it should be done and doesn't half-ass a repair just to keep on driving junk crap. Don't get me all wrong here though... I watch a lot of Andrews videos and I'm a subscriber. But I find myself shaking my head a lot when I watch Andrews videos; like when he almost wrecked that newer rock truck he just got It's almost like he enjoys driving beat up shit. But anyway... I've only watched a few of this guy's videos based on YT recommendations, and I've of course subscribed to this channel. It's actually way, way less stressful (for me) watching this guy because he's more my style in the way he repairs things so they no longer look, sound and drive like they are beat up crap. Take this video for instance... Andrew never would have painted this at the end, let alone doing it in the correct color so it matched the machine and actually looked great. This guy here is awesome, and I look forward to binge watching his videos to get caught up.

[@thaiexodus2916]

This is ironic. At first I thought what you did was a crude hack job you managed to get into alignment. Then I saw a video of tiltrotators made in a major factory. Their tolerances were worse than yours with numerous pieces tacked on to hold parts in alignment - some very poorly. And then the entire assemblies were MIG welded without bevels while all your critical pieces including scabbed in were 100% penetration stick welds. VERY impressive. An aside. Locally we call those devices Tilt-a-whirls after the amusement park rides.

Hi! I don't know which retailers are available in your country. But the most famous brands here in Sweden are Encon, Steelwrist, SMP and Rototilt. If you are going to buy one, you go by the weight class of your machine to get the right one.

The one I have is called Engcon EC10. A new one can be quite expensive, even a used one is still expensive. The good thing about Takeuchi is that they usually have built-in proportional control for the aux hydraulics from the factory, so you don't need external control

I also thaught that your work and videos look a lot like those from Andrew. I have to say, I love them, from both of you. I saw you grease the rotater and there is nothing wrong with that amount of grease, but when you are greasing bearings, be aware that you don't use too much grease. I've been professionaly working, 36 years, for the Dutch part of Svenska Fläkt and the companies that took over. And i have seen more bearings die, because of too much grease than too little. Have you ever seen how little grase SKF puts in their fully closed bearings like the 2RS types?
