Machining BIG Tractor Wheel Plates | John Deere 9570R

In this video we are machining centre plates for the wheel rims on a big John Deere 9570R Tractor. The plates don’t fit into the centre of the wheel hub so we are machining to size and machining a radius for weld prep. We have four to do and the customer needs them in a hurry so was a job we had to get in and just get it done.

In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe

Knowing John Deere's prices and wait times on parts, this was probably the most cost effective and time saving option.

[MrJacksaun]

I've learned more from your videos then half of a semester of night welding classes. Please keep them longer and as indepth as possible your a natural teacher.

Finally, the Australian metal wizard has appeard on my screen yet again. ☕

Great to watch as always! Seeing that tractor reminds me of a funny story from my days in the Diesel Engine business! I was the Warranty Engineer for Deutz USA (for 8 years) back in the '80s. We were the engine part of it. A sister company was Deutz-Allis that made tractors and combines and so on (our engines of course). One day one of their reps came by with a brochure for a new tractor model that they were VERY proud of. So we're sitting at the conference table. Our Chief Engineer (my Boss), couple other of our guys, and the DA rep. I took one look at the cover and started laughing! They are all giving me this WTF look and I say: "What's wrong with this picture?" Blank looks. I said: "Any farmer looks at this and he'll wonder what else we got backwards!" DA guy asks: "What's backwards?" I said: "Nobody else sees it?" "No". I said: "I'm sure they just put the machine together for the photo shoot but the drive tires are on the wrong side! Chevrons go so the tires dig in the mud, pushing it to the outside. Other way round they load up and you're stuck!" Guy asked how the F I knew that and I told him my Grandpa was a farmer and taught me to drive a tractor when I was about ten... ;)

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the bloody hard and thankless job of the Farmer, to keep us Fed and Watered.

I love the endings. When you show the bloopers. It shows that you are human. No one is perfect although, when it comes to machining, you are damn close to perfect.

[kristianskov]

As usual, nice job👍
I've done a few of these myself, but have never fitted them like that.
I've always made new centers from scratch, so that they'll lay flat on top of the center in the new rim. That way I figured they run true when fitted to the tractor.
And like you said, they don't do 100km/t, so a little run out is OK.

Thanks again for sharing your workdays with us.
Cheers from Denmark 🍻

Kurtis, you, Karen, and Homeless always hit em out of the park!
As always, thanks for the extra work you guys put in so that the rest of us can see how it's done!
:)

That vernier gauge was massive…so many tools needed to get the job done 👍🏻👍🏻

[PHXAZANDY]

so I have a 1949 chevy 2-ton which has split rims (widow makers) I'm in the Arizona (USA) and have been trying to get/find replacement rims for awhile now with the correct center and modern rim. This would allow me to use modern tires as well.
Every tire/rim place has told me forget it you won't find them, this truck is an antique and goes 40-45 MPH tops.
I'm going to show this video to a local shop to see if I can transplant my centers into newer style rims. Thanks for the idea, and great video's.
Keep that safety officer happy.

11:28 What a cool shot! It's neat to see the lathe slowing down slightly when it's under load and losing sync with the output frame rate.

[brettcox]

Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting for this episode of “Gold Coast Customs”. Sick rims dude!

[daveogarf]

You and Karen put on an excellent show! Your explanations are clear and concise, her camera work is smooth and steady, and loaded with interesting shots and angles. Superb work!

[corryvisser]

It's really nice to watch you working your magic on anything that comes your way.
I have been watching you for a couple of months now and I never get enough of it.
Your health and safety officer is very good at his job 👏

[BettySwollocks]

That dog proper loves you Carl, give him some praise when he does as he his told- Go on, we will not think you have gone all rainbow on us :)

[alexkirkles]

Just in time biscuits and a brew got to have a good excuse just happens to be the man from the land down under, nice job mate

[ahahahahahaahahaa]

You should do a video on cleaning out that lathe bay and changing the fluid when it gets old. That is if you need content... Or any other shop chores that goes on behind the scenes. Great videos. Keep it up

[cpeccom]

I'm from Russia and I'm looking forward to your new videos, thank you for the videos that I've already watched !

Having that shop crane is a life savor.
