Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! Here we have a Prairie G30 Belt Drive Bench Grinder that I saved from the metal recycling yard a few months ago. With the recent power outages, I thought this is the perfect time to give this one some love.
I could not find any info on the tool history, If you know something about this tool/company I will gladly use your info and update the video description accordingly.
Thank you for your time!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Definitely restore the Briggs and Stratton motor next.And also build a more stable platform for it as well!
As always, AJ is the one !!! Nobody can do it better, well done AJ !!!👍👌❤❤❤🏆🥇🛠🪛⚙🎥🎞🎬
Haha thank you so much buddy!
Very nice!
Thank you so much 😊
Smashing little restore, very jealous of your workshop 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great work!! As always!! I would say go ahead and do the 5hp Briggs. That would be great to see it run and look great and a firm foundation for the equipment.
That's the plan! That little steel table is way too flimsy. The engine is up next :-)
Nice resto 😁
Bardzo świetnie jest to odrestaurowane ta cała maszynka pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another excellent job. Yes restore the Briggs and make base for motor and grinder
You know, I think my grandfather had one of those engine powered bench grinders a long time ago, way before I was born (early to mid 80s). It used a 5 HP Briggs engine like your setup there. I'm not sure he used it much though. It collected dust over the years, and was finally sold from a yard sale my parents had back in the late 90s. I hope the person who bought it either restored the thing, or possibly just used the engine for another project. Oh well, it went to good hands for sure.
Yes please, restore that Briggs engine in your next video. I'd be delighted to see that!
I hope the person who has the grinder and engine takes good care of it.
The red Briggs will be next, I have been itching to do another engine restoration.
Excellent.
Nice work as always 👏👏
Very nicely done and looking forwards to seeing more 😊
great job, i picked up a free belt drive polisher on the roadside yesterday i plan on setting it up with my briggs model n.
That will be awesome, I'd love to see it!
Hello AJ beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
Thank you buddy!
That looks like the one I have in my shop
Impressive work as always.keep doing what your doing.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you Tom, will do!
Really fantastic. Solid solid work.
Much appreciated!
Nice another device saved from boneyard
Uhhgg,....A bench grinder just like this is in my video.....of tools that may get crushed when a building is taken down. Now I wish I had taken the time to unbolt it.
(tHanks for the video.....just the same. Great job!)
beautiful 👍👍
Thank you so much 😊
Every shop needs a wire brush and grinder. Check the balance on that one. Thumbs Up
The wire wheel is a little off balance, but the engine did most of the shaking hahahaha, the table is also a little flimsy.
Local is lekker man. Goeie werk ou bul
Baie baie dankie haha
Definitely restore the Briggs, just on General Purposes. also build sturdier mount for poor grinder...
Great work as always!
Haha yes I agree, I will make or find a propper mount for this grinder and engine. This flimsy table was just to test it out. Was really fun haha
Handy during load shedding!
Absolutely!
Another beautiful project. It looked like you could have purchased a larger wire wheel 🤪
I couldn't find a larger wheel haha
That is another way of driving a pulley based grinder, particularly if using it outside
Yes inside is a really bad idea haha,
Já cheguei para apreciar as reformas maravilhosa que este canal sempre mostra, amo tudo o que é vintage pôr que conta uma história eu fico imaginando como seria a labor dessa pessoa naquela época com as ferramentas que você volta a vida.
Apreció muitíssimo seu trabalho, realmente gosto muito! Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷👏👏👏👍
Muito obrigado! Agradeço seu gentil comentário, espero que meu trabalho futuro também seja tão bom. Beijos da África do Sul
Wow amazing nice sharing video like done👍👍❤❤
Thank you so much 🙂
I've got some very old flat belt driven bench and pedestal grinders...
☹🇬🇧
Briggs next
as they say "a grinder makes me the welder I'm not" lol
I am 10% better at grinding compared to welding hahahaha
I'm glad you''re alright over there. We have seen what's happening in South Africa over here in Canada and I was worried about you.
Thank you for the concern, its getting worse faster, I am looking to get out of SA as soon as I get the opportunity.
@@AJRestoration Please let us know when you're safe.
nice job !
put some loctite on the outside of the bearrings, because they are much to sloppy fit and going to turn in there casting.
cheers ben.
Thanks for the tip! I will do that.
No more smiley faces when sandblasting? It was the best thing in your channel, and now it has been done away with...
its not been done away with haha, I honestly forgot about the smiley face in the sandblasting. It will be back, I promise.
Thank goodness for that, and thanks for replytin and promising such great things!@@AJRestoration
A fine job. Though it seems like those bearings slide into the housing a bit too easily. For wire brushing and polishing, it should be fine, but if you run grinding wheels on it, it will be annoying for sure!
The shaft was installed incorrectly, the left-hand thread should be on the left side
Bonjour , 😊👍👍💪💪😀
👍
Monster👍😂
No left hand thread on the arbour / shaft ?- surely the nut on one side will loosen? (depending on spin direction)
There is a left hand and a right hand thread. For the rotation direction you use, the left hand to the left side, the right hand to the right side. Unfortunately, you have mixed it up. 😉
My apologies - I see that the 'mop' side did indeed have a left hand thread. - isn't this on the wrong side though if you want the spin to be downwards at the front?
It might be the wrong way around, Ill have a look at that to make sure. Thank you for the concern!
Bom dia pra todos ótimo domingo
Muito obrigado!
Good restoration but it looks like it is ready to shake itself apart. 🤯
That is due to the flimsy table and the petrol engine.
That is pretty cool! I just restored a Prairie G30 a couple of months ago. I have never seen another one like it until now. Do you know of source to get parts for these? I'm missing one tool rest and arm on mine. I really like the black and red. It gave it an old school rat rod vibe. Nice job brother
What was in the different dips that you dunked the bolts, etc into?
Using a bench grinder to repair a bench grinder. 😂
Our smileys seem to have strayed again. 😕
I actually forgot about the smiley hahaha, when I did the editing I was like OH NOOO the smiley! Here is one for you :-) haha
Would have loved to c words to say what is used when like when the nut and bolts was being cleaned
I use gasoline to clean greasy parts.
Belt drive or direct which one does the best job other thing is which one do you want to have in your shop yes you should restore the Briggs and Stratton engine
Yes the engine is next, thinking of going metallic red with this one.
@@AJRestoration co color scheme for this one A.J.
Great restoration, but I would question why you would paint the pulley shaft, and you spray painted one of the bearings. I don't understand that at all! And, shouldn't you have put the pulley belt on before installing the shaft? ;) Other than that...nice job.
The paint prevents rust pretty well, also I like the shaft painted, it adds extra contrast. That were the old bearings I used as a shield when I painted the main part of the tool, in the assembly you will see I used brand-new (unpainted) bearings. Yes, the tool has to be partially disassembled to insert the v-belt. I did the vbelt in the test, and the end result looks better to present without the vbelt in place, making for a better before and after result.
Has it to be taken apart to put on belt for the drive?
Yes hahaha it is a unfortunate downside.
Odwróć wałek , tak będą się odkręcały nakrętki
please don't paint ball-bearings -.-
I don't, I used the old ball-bearings as shields so I don't paint the surface where the bearings are supposed to sit. In the assembly you will see I installed brand new bearings. -.-
@@AJRestoration okay, then i am wrong, then: good Work :D
You are not a South African, you are a German in a South African shell😂 deutsche Wertarbeit or made in Germany ❤
Haha I do have some German blood in my veins.
Smashing little restore, very jealous of your workshop 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
