Really nice work mate, very nice to see you posting again too!
Hi mate thanks for the video. can i ask where the balance shaft is please. as i bought a van thats had a engine rebuild. as i got a vibrate on tick over and when i rev. been told the balance shaft may not be in time. and help please.
Hi, I've just been given a herbert 0V mill for free that was going in the scrap if i didn't take it, it's just like your's, though it's in rougher shape, it's got a bit of surface rust but nothing is siezed solid, it seems like a reasonably tight machine but we'll see once i get it cleaned up a bit.
Great video but now I'm realising how much work there is in our van 😭 We have the same version master and will prob need to remove the middle guide rail as the rollers have eaten away at it. It's probably been metal on metal for far too long
Hey there chap, wondering where you got the mid roller assembly from. I bought a set, but they come as three separate rollers and it looks like a hard way of doing it. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers man.
Cant believe you taking this engine apart again? only 2 year ago full rebuild. Im scared driving mine lol, shes on 210,000 now.
Nice video, just wondering what oil you put in as it seems to differ for cooler climates. Thanks
Hi bit of a long shot but do you still have the parts lathe? I would be interested in some parts if you do Cheers
Any new videos with the headstock rebuild ?
Brilliant video. Can you help me with a question. My clutch shaft( where the v-belt pulley is mounted) has a 5-10mm play when changing the spindle direction, from forward to back ward. Is this correct with this play or has something to be adjusted.
Something you could well do without
Thanks for posting these videos. You’ve done an impressive job of pulling the headstock apart. I know it’s a lot of work to film and edit the process, but I’ve subscribed to your channel in hopes that you document the reassembling of this machine. I happen to have acquired a Triumph 2000 (called the Clausing-Colchester 15” here in the US) earlier this year, and am in the process of cleaning it up and evaluating. It’s similar in age to your lathe, and a very nice machine which I’m thrilled to put back in service. Best of luck with your rebuild!
Thanks for subscribing , I have been gathering up all the required bearings to rebuild my machine & have recently purchased a parts washer to help with the cleaning of all gear train & shifting mechanism. I intend to get the next installment released in the next two months. So bare with me :) I've had a few other projects going on at the same time so finding time to get setup and film is sometimes tight
Hi. Where dod you get the parts? Did the roller supplier provide the replacement bolt? Thanks Mike
Can anyone let me know how to analyse for the leakage of gear box oil. The oil got drained in less than 5 minutes when refilled. Oil was spilled in the area below the coolant tank
Hello, i have a quastoin. Where does the fule line for the glow plug start and where does it go trhu the tractor
How many shims do it need
What was the cause of your starter to keep running after you let off of the start lever and then had to disconnect the battery? I just replaced my solenoid and got it to run for about 5-10 seconds before it died, like it ran out of fuel (I changed the filters, but the tank liner is disintegrating and I might have another problem there). When I tried to start the engine again and then let off the lever, my starter kept running as well, and like yours, the bendex wasn’t engaging the flywheel and I had to pull my battery cables to stop it. My wiring looks awful with cracks in the insulation and the red cable coming off of the front of the solenoid looks like it just has one strand left. Do you think it could be my wiring or something else? I’m debating replacing just a few of the wires but maybe the whole harness which would be a big job for me. I think mine is a 1958.
👍
Great informational video but please try not to talk like a robot.
hola saludos desde colombia gran maestro felicitaciones muy buen trabajo quisiera saber si me puede dar su num de wasap para preguntarle por un engranage gracias
where did you get the parts from ? I am looking at a van the same size as yours and it needs the side door rail replacing. I would use a company I found but they don't have this part in stock, also the back end of the door is sticking out. would you know how to adjust it to pull into the body ?
What type of milling inserts do you use for hardox ?
I have a dexta I need to get running again. I need to get the hydraulics working so it's more useful.
I've owned and restored a few of these, the last one I restored I kept for 12 years and used daily on the farm too, a real tidy little machine around a yard they are, you can zip in and out of tight sheds clearing muck off of floors ECT with ease. I'd even say they are better for some jobs than a 35. Two things let them down though in my opinion, 1 being the crappy steering box design, I've attempted to tighten up a few over the years fitting new bearings ECT, but I've often wondered if the outer housing was bored bigger inside and the depth increased if two bearings could be fitted? The other fault which I sorted on my tractor is the gear selectors. They were machined a bit short, when a gear is selected you have a gap open up between the selectors, that's ok until the tip of the gear stick becomes worn, together with the outer corners of the selectors themselves, then you end up with your gear stick coming out between that gap I mentioned and stuck in whatever gear was selected. I solved it on mine by welding a piece of 10 mm flat either side of each selector and grinding to size, it eliminates any gap between the selectors when a gear is selected, so your gear stick can't come out of mesh. Ferguson left shoulders on their selectors to prevent the same problem, of course a picture is worth a thousand words as they say, hope you can understand what I'm on about, cheers,👍
Thanks for your advice on the old girl , I have already got my hands on a replacement set of shift leavers so when I get the chance to install them I will certainly be checking for any excessive play at the tips. I have just rebuilt the steering column and managed to get it pretty tight for the moment although time will tell if it holds up. I'm looking forward to getting her fired up in the next video and hopefully getting out for a road test.
@@Adventure_Van_Upgrades your welcome,👍 I saw a new kit available a couple of years ago which includes the worm as well as the nut and bearing, I'm sure that would improve things a lot. Not sure where I saw it though, could be Dunlop tractor parts in northern Ireland although not 100%
Maybe the oil on ex. manifold comes from worn valve guides, the oil will still come out sooner or later or with smoke.
Interesting idea putting a fuse box in. just be careful because im fairly sure that plate youve screwed into is asbestos. Also instead of having the earth lead on the battery plate i made a longer one and took it straight to the starter mounting bolts. Really made a difference.
Nice finish - got me wondering why that's a good idea on a putter though?
This was done entirely upon request of the owner, From what I was told it's to allow better control of the strike trigectory, as opposed to a skimmed flat surface the crosshatch finish leaves lots of high points to achieve more surface area contact & grip upon impact.
Thought that looked like a new to you machine, looking forward to seeing it. John 🇨🇦
Thanks for your support from over the water 😁, some keen eyes you have 😂 I will do a proper introduction video to the Machine Very soon, I just couldn't resist making some real chips with the newly acquired boring head & mill 🎉🎉
Great job. Is it possible to give some detail on the lubricating system please?
You're work on your '62 has given me so tips on work for my '60 Dexta down in Australia. Looking forward to how you run the wiring for the tail lights. I've recently replaced the old wiring loom and the next step is getting the lights repaired.
Superb work bonny lad, I've loved ever minute of this restoration, well done. Just a couple of questions, who was the band you played in the last twenty minutes or so, as I couldn't identify them, but it did sound good, especially for driving music :), and where in the North East are you from ? I'm originally from Murton, but I've lived in the South East since 1973 after my apprenticeship days finished. Keep up the great work.
Get yourself some Brass punches because steel on steel is going to leave marks. I am afraid your going to do real damage at some point with one arrant blow. Keep it going. Good luck
Very helpful....I will be see all parts. I have bought an old COLCHESTER MASCOT 1600 80 inch Gab Bed...she is still wonderful...and beautiful.. it landed on 18 Feb 2024 in our machine shop. want to machine nickel and cobalt base alloys, titanium alloys

You tried to turn this iconic lathe for an amateur into a professional machine. And you made some kind of mutant. All these additions are an excess of form over substance. The machine is beautiful in its original form because it is intended for an amateur who uses the lathe occasionally.

Hi there, it is interesting work isn't it?😅 There are only standard metric bearings used....nothing fancy and not really expensive. I own 2 of these Triumph 2000 for hobby purposes and have done this on both of them. It is ok to renew the bearings but please do not expect that the noise level goes down in case she is noisy already. The noise is coming from the gears not from the bearings. If you want the noise to decrease you have to identify the noise generators(gears) and replace them against either new ones or very good used ones. Unfortunately the prices for any spares for the Colchesters are quite expensive. I felt that the lubrication on this lathes could be better and I upgraded it on both of my lathes. I speeded up the oil pump by changing the pulley ratio, installed a cartridge filter and added small lube pipes to the ring pipe to get oil directly to meshing points of some of the gears. Anyway have fun restoring the Triumph 2000 and enjoy working with it once it's done! Greetings from Germany
Great demo video... thanks
Great video. I enjoy turning aluminium except for the long stringy chips. Commentary was good too. Its always great to be able to make and fix your own tools and even better when you can help out a mate at the same time.
I have to agree with you there Carl, too many stringy chips came off this job 😆, I feel that I should have increased my feed rate to break the chips more effectively, although in the end I was pretty pleased with the final results. Thanks for the feedback on my commentary as I've finally figured out how to do a separate voice over & this was my first attempt using that feature, which I believe is more digestible for the viewer
@@Adventure_Van_Upgrades I don't know how to do voiceovers, clueless with stuff like that. And I can never get chips to break on ally, bane of my life!
If it helps any, the operating manual says to use the oil pump to pump the headstock oil into a drum and then drain the rest into a tray
Nice job man. What is your engine support ?i must do thé same Witherspoon my trafic engine but i don't have support.thanks
Did the hard water pipe at the back have o rings on the pipe when push into the water pump?
Yes , I installed new o rings , I believe they were included in head the gasket kit
looks great, have identical one, i wil try to make some improvements/fixes you made, perfect manual for beginner! what about PTO transmission & gear oil change, any plans?
Thanks for your comments, I'm really pleased with how it's coming together so far too. I have only briefly driven the machine off it's transport trailer and onto my driveway. My intentions are to get it up and running in the next few weeks ( just need to bleed off injectors now) then once the engine/oils have warmed up I would be able to take a look at dropping the transmission oil & replacement Rear PTO seal.
@@Adventure_Van_Upgrades nice, looking forward for the next part of the best yt "fordson dexta service manual" so far! thanks
@@ds7401 thanks for your compliments , I'm happy my efforts to document service/repairs along the way are helpful to fellow fordson owners around the world.
IMO this was probably peak Colchester. The engineering is fantastic and the simple aesthetics are unmatched.
Please share the manual book of colchester 2000. I messed up my colchester 2000 with braking so the manual book in pdf will be very helpful.

I've done a way to canister oil filter on my Dexter put on skew on filter
I had looked at the options of updating to a screw on style without the central bolt but decided to just stay with the original bolt through as replacement bits are readily available in the UK.
Did you use a 2 or 4 pole motor?
If I remember correctly Im certain I used 4 pole 🧲
Brilliant job, the manifolds are great. I like your flycutter.
👍 thanks Carl , I used a 10mm button insert turning tool, which I reduced the 20mm shank down too suite the fly cutter head. To increase rigidity. ( Note; none of these needed to be a critically parallel faces, just skimmed flat) which is why I just roughed them all in fairly quickly.
@@Adventure_Van_Upgrades Spot on. I totally agree, as much precision as is needed for the job.
Brave work. Keep it up!
