TomV,
You may have already mentioned it it this thread and I missed it reading through it.
What type and size wire do you run for your bore welding?
Also I been running the Ultra Core, great wire, was wondering which one you ran for your general fabrication work.

Great work as others have pointed out very inspirational. I find myself at times saying "how would Tom handle this."
Look forward to seeing more of your work posted in the near future.
Oh and great truck, have shown pictures of it to a others always the same positive reaction.

WM, I use ER70S-6 .035 in the bore welder and the ultracore I use is 71A85 in .045 and 1/16" diameters,thanks and regards,TOM V

Tom
I marvel at the quality of your work and the ability to see down the road and improve the product.
We were looking thru the thread today and marveled at your truck.
Asked my buddy what you think he paid for it. He said " A man with talent like that built it himself"
One question. CO2 shield gas. I have been using it for years and it really does a good job for me.
Supply house says it's guys like me that are a pain in the ass. They don't make any money off it like the tri mix and others
Since it's a liquid state in tank it lasts forever. Some of the tanks are syphon, so they can be used for quick cooling.
I think it gives better penetration. Your thoughts

Tom,
Do you still use the Bore Systems welder? Just was curious as to why you did not go with the York Smart Welder as you use a York boring setup. Thanks

 

[StanRUS]

WB, when he purchased the BRS borewelder York didn't have their own to sell, they were peddling BRS.

 

[Williams Marine]

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Williams Marine]

Tom,
If you had had a choice would you have gone with the Bore welder that York offers now or would have stayed with BRS welder that you use.
Thanks, respect your work and opinions.

This is on a cat 4-1 bucket on a 416it. Takes grease no problem and didn't make noise. Should I fix it ? Looks like the weld surrounding the bushing is cracking

Some recent repairs, grizzly rebuild.

Here are some more, bucket hook fabrication.

 

[TOM V]

A few more.

Some serious metal went into that bucket hook. They've got a pretty even coat of rust on that powerscreen.

Looks like that hook bracket will spread the tension out across the bucket hood nicely Tom. Don't see any leaves on the trees behind the Kobelco? Looks like you've been holding out on us!:drinkup
Regards, Bob
