@JoeDirt
Here's the chunk I have. Been using that piece for probably 25 years. It was a busted off piece from a larger one my brother in law gave me back when he was doing production welding on mezzanine.

Clean your shop slacker

Hey Sean.
What's all the yarns in Ole Blighty?

Can someone translate this to Murican please?

Clean your shop slacker

Want to buy a Hiniker plow mount and wiring for a 20 and up GM truck?
Plus I'm working on Dad's bike.
Plus GFY.

I wonder if tig would be better?

I have no doubt it would be, but I don't have a TIG.

I haven’t used it before. I did hear something about if it’s clean metal it acts goofy. Idk

They got back to me this morning. They said it when it bubbles like that it it was either applied top heavily or the humidity was too high. Humidity was a bit on the high side yesterday and I probably did lay it on a touch heavy.

If you can get to the back side, stop by a welding shop and get yourself a carbon block.
You can hold that up to those spots on the back and weld right on it. The weld will not stick to the block but gives you a surface to weld on to fill the holes.

Good idea Ed. There's a shop not too far down the road. I'll stop by and see if they can help me out.

There is a softer mig wire available too, better for body work. Easier to grind and planish.

Morning pud pullers, another fantastic day with rain expected through the week, getting tired of the rain, hope you keyboard warrior's are off to a good start, don't slack to hard.

Copper plates work too.

Good morning guys,

Good afternoon Adam
Thanks for sasking
I brought a ms180 non runner, when it gets here ? I will try and do a thread on it

I’ve been making some log bee homes (3) Trying different methods in making them.
And hopefully figuring out if they like the scorched or the plain style wall decoration




And tomorrow I’ve got to help/coachmy son into felling this oak tree that has a back lean towards some power lines he’s been dismantling it over the last few Saturdays (private job)
We got a tractor coming to pull it over
I will see if I can get a vid, I think it’s about 3.5’ maybe 4’ at the base
Any how here’s a pic he sent me where he’s marked it it’s been cut off
To give you an idea look for him in the pic he’s 21 and 6’4”

Morning men, 40 and foggy and cloudy with rain later says the weather people

Interesting. I'm using regular .024 wire.

I stripped as much of the coating off as I could, the pinholes were still filled in by the old layer, not even the sandblaster would clean them out. Then I scrubbed in like a surgeon and reapplied a very thin coating. After grinding and sandblasting the old coating off, I dont think those bubbles affected the integrity of the coating, but I wouldn't have known otherwise. So far so good, I'll report back after work.

It's turbo time, kids..

 

[John Wargo]

11 apprentices in class this week. Lowest test score was 90%. Good feeling knowing the kids are getting it.

 

[sawmikaze]

Well chit.

Hey Wandy

What happens that makes the arm on a worm gear hit the oil pump and break it ?

The bearing ?

I cleaned that oil pump off good and I can see where the arm knicked the pump.

Copper plates work too.

That's what us field rats use on large gap build ups.

 

[full chizel]

You'll post his obituary soon.

He won’t go that fast, he just has more money than brains and had to buy one. He has 4 bikes now.

 

[redline4]

Let's see if it's got boost now..

I've seen a bad bearing on the drum cause the drum to tilt and cut into the pump. If it tilted enough, it could push the arm down into the pump body. Overly tight chain is the cause of most of these things.

4 days off starting in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Can't wait for a long weekend

Sheet copper also works for some reason I am sure I don't understand.
