This video demonstrates practical vehicle maintenance techniques, including the process of replacing deteriorated calcium-filled tires (which use calcium chloride powder for weight and function as a hybrid between tubed and tubeless systems) and the step-by-step process of enlarging wheel lug holes from 1 inch to 1-1/8 inch using a magnetic drill and bridge reamer, along with basic stair construction calculations involving rise and run measurements.

Deferred Maintenence And Some StairsAdded:
At some point I should probably explain what's going on. What it is is these are overdue for tires. I found a set that's that mostly matches at an auction. Um wasn't a horrible price for what it cost to replace everything. These historically on this machine have been um calcium filled. So they had tubes in them and uh filled with calcium chloride I guess for weight. It's a powder that doesn't freeze, add it with water, water and calcium, and um they've taken nails and they've get holes in them. So, they're kind of a cross between tubed and tubeless because the rims pretty much have become tubeless. They're rusted. The water's leaked out.
They're deteriorated. It's overdue. Uh so, when it's time for new tires, I need new wheels. So, I found a set of solids for the front. Um well, I found a set of four at an auction. One of them is still air filled. So, at this point, uh, for the price it was worth, uh, I'll just put these fronts on because the valve stems will no longer take air. The wheels are irreparable. Um, probably dangerous. So, there's really no air pressure in them right now to speak of. So, I'm just going to take them off and put these foam filled ones on there for now and just keep working it out. Um, I have to work on the ones from the back. One has two smaller lug holes and the other one was two small lug holes and they tried to torch them out. So I got to work on them.
Heat. Heat.
Come on.
So, we got the other two right there. They basically been sitting around long enough for me to get tired of looking at them. So that's why I put these on the front.
So I'm going to pull out I'm going to take these old ones, stack them up, and get them out of the chute here. And let me go for a walk. I think I got time. Time is it All right, I got I should put those in there, too. I got two extra lug nuts.
And then I need to get So, it's 10 per tire. I need 18 more to do the backs once I sort out those rims. Something's Anyway, I'll explain it when I get to them. That'll be in another small job. That's it for now.
All right, I got a little plan here. I needed a plug. Show you what I got going. Let me get this out of there. I should have used a little oil. All right. Uh 3/4 plate. I needed this plug out of it. I have another one in there. Um, while I was doing that, I figured I'd just make a little shackle plate while I'm at it. No sense wasting the material. Um, I have these. They're about a 13/16 hole. I need to increase it to an inch and an eighth. Um, to work on that uh the lug nut centered uh assembly style instead of I guess I guess it would be the the nut centered. Uh, anyway, I got a little hole in there. I'll probably put a magnet on the back of it. I can stick that up. Uh that bit there is inch and an eighth. The center cut just happens to be about a couple thousand couple thousands under that. So that's a little loose, but it'll work. There's a little bit of slop in it. Um so I use a magnet on that. And then I can set the mag drill and center it on that plug um with the pin, the ejection pin. And then that will increase the size of these. All right. Here is that plug. This little shelf uh keeps it from coming through. So I can put it on that magnet.
So what we can do um to prove this is the whole center right now is like 14 or 13 and 316 center to center or edge to edge, however you want to measure it. Same thing. Um, I'm going to drill that one there and then I'll come across and I'll drill this one here and we can double check it um to make sure we're still in there because the increase will remain constant.
And then uh so I'll drill that one out and then drill another one and we'll see where we're at.
14 and 316 or 13 and 316. We're good.
I can't find my counter sink that will fit this. I have I had one that was maybe 2 in or an inch and 3/4 or something. it' be perfect for cutting that little seat. Um, and it it had a welding shank, uh, 3/4 round with two flats 90° opposed for this style. Um, I think it might be in the box with this, but I feel like I also got it out for another project and it was it needed sharpened or something happened to it. Um, but I think other than that, it won't be hard to line up.
a counter sink to cut that. That'll be ready. This one's air filled. And then this one I dug out of the weeds here from another um score. Um it has a dent in the rim, but it's not high pressure stuff.
And I don't think it's tubeless tire, so it won't make a big difference. But these holes are um one inch. Need them to be inch and an eighth. The one inch would probably work. Um I have a a tapered one inch bridge reamer that I ran through there that cleaned them up pretty good. They were a little fouled, maybe a little eggged out. Um, I may purchase an inch and an eighth bridge reamer just to run through there. Um, I may just counter sync it so the lug nuts fit and um that way. But for now, what I'm going to do is to clear the chute in the shop here.
I'm going to set this on top of that and then pull the whole stack out, put it on a pallet, and get it out of the way. Um, and that's as far as I'll go on it today. All right, we're gonna cut a little set of loft stairs this morning. No big deal. No real reason to film this, but All right, we got uh 116 uh and a half divided by probably going to be like 16. What would 17 be? That's too small.
Divided by 16. All right, seven and a quarter just a little over seven and a quarter. So we take out seven equals and that's 28 times 15. So times the six the fraction we want. We want 16. So it's 4 and 1/26 or just a little over a quarter. Tiny bit not quite 5/16. So easy enough. And then we'll check the run next.
So 10 inches. Fine. I got to check the treads that were on there. We poured a floor. They poured a floor in here and lifted everything up. So I took out the landing or they took out the landing. And we'll just cut a new set. Make it simpler. No big deal. Um so we had uh um 10 uh 16. So you 16 risers. So it'sund. So 15 treads. Um so times 10 is 150 in minus 65 and a half that I had to that post. 84 and a half is where we're going to come out to.
That puts us there. That's about right. Like that. I'll check the treads we had to make sure we don't need to go 10 and a half. I think 10's fine. All right. All right, we got our 10 in run, our seven a little bit over seven and a quarter rise.
Connect the dots.
All right, there's the bottom of that. That looks good. I just have to place the top and then pull it back down and trace it. Everything looks pretty good.
Hey, Hey, hey, hey.
All right, that's enough for that. That's all done. I wasn't going to nail the treads on, but I ended up doing it anyway. And they look good. It is what it is. I think there's another post. Got to go back in there. But he's going to take care of that.
Client's going to take care of that. And I'm going to go to the next job upstairs.
