<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Bob - sure, you're welcome. The only
part of the process I've really seen is the grinding - it
looks just like that in any modern engine rebuilding shop.
I could imagine most of the rest and not be too far off. I
like the offset chuck setup used to turn the crank
journals. Those lathes are pretty ancient, but they're
keeping them running, and the requirement for precision
comes only at the end, with the grind. That's where you see
some real attention to measurements (versus mostly rough
measurements and go/nogo tools in the earlier processes).
And as Spencer noted, these guys know what they're doing.
Their pace and movements suggest to me they get paid by the
piece, not the hour. You can see there's no OSHA in this
part of the world, wherever it is. I've seen other videos
on this channel that are pretty clearly Pakistan (dirt
floors, child labor, open chemicals, no PPE...)<o:p></o:p></p>

cool and thanks for sharing it. It’s pretty clear
the two guys I have watched so far have made a few
crankshafts before. Very efficient and methodical

<p class="MsoNormal">I decided to read through
some of the comments too. Most were positive and
well thought out. Some added value with
additional information. Of course there are a
few jerks who pointed out some of the things
they are doing wrong. So far I haven’t seen
anything but 100% effort and results considering
the conditions and the strong likelihood there
was little if any formal training (that’s
actually just a supposition in my part). So IMHO
the negative comments were completely misguided
and out of place. Nothing real nasty but
clearly along the lines of “the little lights
aren’t twinkling“ (If you haven’t watched the
movie Christmas vacation then that one will fly
right over your head)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">OK, this is a long
video (40 min) and it isn't truly antique
tractor, but bear with me - this is pretty
close to how the crankshaft was made in
all of our old iron. Some of the machines
and fixtures might even be the very same
ones from many decades ago. (For Cecil
Bearden - this is a Belarus crankshaft).
And if you don't have 40 min, you can set
Youtube playback speed up to 2X. You
won't miss anything.<o:p></o:p></p>
