Complete Winch Teardown! | Franna Crane Project

Complete Winch Teardown! | Franna Crane Project | Part 14

Місяць тому

Welcome back to the Franna crane project! We’re taking you on a complete teardown of our Franna crane’s winch system. We’ll be stripping it down to the bare metal, revealing all the intricate components that make it work and inspecting it piece by piece to see if there’s any hidden wear and tear. We’ll also show you the inner workings of a winch planetary gear system. So, whether you're a seasoned mechanic, a Franna crane enthusiast, or simply curious about how these machines tick, join us on this in-depth exploration of the winch. We'll be making real-time decisions based on our findings - a simple fix or time for a component upgrade? By the end of this video, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the inner workings of a winch and the importance of keeping it meticulously maintained. Stay tuned for the next Franna crane project video or catch up on all the previous videos below 😎👇

Hi Kurtis, Karen and Homey. I am a technical writer from Montreal Canada. Actually, I know a lot more about video editing and computers than I know about engineering and machining. I really enjoy watching your videos because they are very well made from start to finish. From the explanations from Kurtis to the video editing from Karen, I love it all. Keep doing what you do best and do not change anything. I really enjoy it when you show old documentation manuals that came with some of the old equipment you sometimes use. A lot of work goes into making those documents complete and accurate. The same way you guys do your work. Thanks, and keep up the good work! 🙂

Pulled apart one winch in my life. Calcualted one days work, in the real world, it took 3 days. Rusted bolts, guide pinns. I had to make a glidehammer for the guidepinns and rolebars . 1m long and 20mm thick rod. Welded the rod to the pinns and put a big lockingnut at the end with a 3kg glideweight. 30min hard arm and shoulder workout later the pinns were out. The rolerpinns took 12h to get out. My arms was so done I could not even turn the stearingwheel on my van after the work was done hahaha. That glidehammer was also used to draw out axlepinns from excavators boomarms where they "forgot" to grease them under several years of usage. That last bearing gave a laugh when it just droped out by itself. Thank you for the video, have a great weekend. Regards from Sweden.,

@DoMeNiKuSS Місяць тому

I’m a fan from Spain, and I’m in awe about the work that this man can do by himself. Just a clarification, any gearbox changes the torque, but the power remains the same. If you have 10Hp on the input shaft of the gear, you also have 10HP on the outpot shaft of the (minus losses, of course). What you have is an increased torque (if it’s a reduction gearbox), an you have an output torque equal to the input torque times the gearbox reduction

@CuttingEdgeEngineering Місяць тому

@paulw3182 Місяць тому

Impressive tear-down. Glad to see the planetary gears were isolated from the hydraulic brake assembly. Hopefully the metal is usual wear and tear, but it appears there was slight water intrusion. Kurtis, your skill set is amazing. I never thought a compact winch could be this complicated, requiring a thorough understanding of gear reduction and seals. The corrosion is worrisome, its usually a fifty-cent part responsible for thousands in repairs. A winch failure is disastrous, glad you have the knowledge and patience to follow through and repair it correctly.

@JorgeStolfi Місяць тому

Expansion may help a little, but the reason why heat works is that at ~600 C (dull red) the rust (mostly FeOOH, brown) loses water and oxygen and turns into blacksmith scale (FeO+Fe3O4+Fe2O3, gray-black). As it does so it shrinks and the rust crystals turn into loose powder. Thus it does not matter which part is heated (inner or outer), as long as the rust reaches that temperature. On the other hand, as iron turns into rust it expands, until the gap between the two parts is so clogged solid that moisture can no longer penetrate. Then no "penetrating fluids" or even acids can get more than a few mm into the joint. Penetrating oils will help once the parts get unstuck, but not before that.

@mathias1074 Місяць тому

This is a testament to the Italian engineers who designed the winch. There isn't too too much rust on the outside if you were looking quickly. But in the details there is a lot of rust. But the impressive thing is that there is no rust to be seen inside. And that means all the gaskets were holding up like they were designed to do. Love to see it

@stevepiechock9234 Місяць тому

This video is a lesson for all who do this kind of work. The rust issue is difficult at best. Problems resulting from the rust are avoidable. The person (s) who had this crane before you reasonably should have suspect problems if not actually known they were issues. I respect the both of you more after seeing the trouble encountered. Neither of you lost your temper. You both remained professional throughout this job. The stress factor might have pushed a lesser person to frustration and anger. This is just another reason why I for one am addicted to your channel. Best of luck with the rest of the job. Look forward to your next video

@diegorhoenisch62 Місяць тому

Some rust issues are avoidable; not all of them. Moving equipment-cranes for example-will almost always be left outside to face the elements. Equipment that is used constantly tends to be well-maintained by smart owners, but even they sometimes ignore equipment that is used irregularly. Best regards, Alan Tomlinson

aaah the Franna Crane, the gift that keeps giving!

@JonDingle Місяць тому

It's always great to see how Kurtis deal with stuff that refuses to comply. That winch rebuild is going to be a great series!

@toilet-brush Місяць тому

It's amazing what can happen when you start out just wanting to fix one or two things and then find yourself down the rabbit hole. The crane is going to be sick when it's complete!

I'm experiencing this (again) on my truck lol. Started with wanting to do some extra services, and now I've added air bags and pricing new leaf springs, radiator started leaking so getting that and anything else to be done with it drained.. and so on. It started with one little part [Kiss], how did it end up like this? Lol

“But that’s XYZ completed…” a phrase that always signals the end of a video and the beginning of another week of waiting for the next masterpiece. Very interesting tear down. The complexity of engineering that goes into individual components of the entire system is astounding.

Great show as always........ The engineers who designed all of this though reallly are unsung heros in the construction world

@chrismendez7163 Місяць тому

I love this video series. Not only is it interesting new content for the channel, but it shows a whole new set of skills for Kurtis's clients to bug him about.

@darrellhendrix5502 Місяць тому

The difficult he does right away, the impossible takes a series. Impressive work as always.

In fairness as the outtakes often show, Kurtis can’t really pronounce Australian, let alone Italian!

I've done a fair amount of mechanical things in my life, but I've never torn down a winch. I had no idea it was so complicated inside. A thing of beauty!

I think that was the most painful episode I have ever watched! So glad you got that miserable tear down done.

Love the swearing in the out-takes... Kurtis is human like us! And still loving this content, dual bonus, working on your own stuff saves double money.

Somehow I knew that winch was going to put up a fight. It's a good thing that Kurtis is stubborn. Always a pleasure to watch, and y'all never disappoint.

The Franna Crane the purchase that keeps on giving. (great videos).

@max_coast Місяць тому

Holy crap, what an ordeal! Thanks for showing us how much of a colossal undertaking this is! I can't wait to see it all finished up and done. Still, the amount of money you're saving AND getting the knowledge that you know it's all well and good in the end is worth it, I think. If I could fit in a project like this AND work... yeah, I'd do it. Thanks so much for taking us along again!

@curtisa3770 Місяць тому

The magic of editing! Can't imagine having to painstakingly loosen all of those seized bolts and free them from the bit... Great work!

@hamentaschen Місяць тому

I cannot wait until you put this baby back together and pimp this baby out. Even if it takes a year or two (hopefully not) it will be worth the wait. Thank you guys, Curtis, Karen and Homie especially!

@stephenhowe568 Місяць тому

I do a double tap with the hammer on punches, the first one gently and the next one firmly. I laughed when the bearing dropped out. If I ever visit Australia I'd buy a ticket to spend time in the CEE works. Great videos Karen.

When this man says he is going to bling out his crane, he ain't just whistling Dixie! Fun to see the innards of a strong winch.

Pro tip for the Allen bolts, spray some panther piss and hit it with the needle scaler. Makes the tool come out easier. For the lock tight and stuck roll pins an induction heater does wonders. These are the tricks I use here in the rust belt of America. Thanks for all the great content!
