TOM V....Looking good, the standard of workmanship is impressive.
Two questions about the Line Boring & Bore Welding:
(i) After Bore Welding, how much weld is removed in terms of depth of cut....I take it you are doing a rough cut & then a finish cut?
(ii) Using a Stick/Bucket pin & bearings on a 320C as an example, if it's greased at the correct interval how long (in service hours) would you expect it to last before it needs doing again?
Have fun....& if you can't be good....be careful.
It depends how much weld was put down, on average .150" machined out in multiple cuts. The hours are all over the place, seen machines have to be line bored at 4000 hours and seen them go to 10000 hours without boring, Just have to watch pin and bushing wear and replace as needed before its to late.
well we actually started this on saturday but because of the rain we had to put it off till today,the track adjuster is shot as the track came off on thursday and after puting it back on we tracked the machine to our make shift work shop where we tried to seperate the track but the pin wouldn't move so we spent most of today heating up the track and trying to sledge the pin out so after lunch l said 'to hell with it lets choose another pin' which we did and and the dammed thing just sailed out and after removing the idler all we got to do now is remove the adjuster and fit the new one then put it all back together.
more pics of the reassembly tomorrow
thanks again about almeboda,l'am not that good on computers is there any way to get it in english-cheers Billy
tom, great work, i wish i could have spent the last 17 years learning from someone like you! i have had very few (maybe 3) people cross my path (only a day at a time) with your talent and tools (none with all of those tools) anyway i went through your thread again and wonder how many of these tools you keep with you 100% of the time, i.e. rams, line bore equipment, jack stands, hydraulic torque wrenches, dry ice machine, you would have to have, oxy, acet, co2, 75/25 all of these bottles, adapters and rods for rams, where does it stop or do you just pack it all, absolutely amazing..thanks for the thread it is improving the industry for sure..................theironoracle
