Achto 30,345 #29 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Happy New Year everyone !!! With the day off I figured I'd take advantage of getting paid to work on my own stuff. A little progress report for y'all. First off I degreased the parts so that they would be ready for the blast cabinet. With the dishes done it was time to move on to repairs. First off get the drag link that a PO welded to the fan gear removed. Hood stand had some fatigue cracks that needed to be addressed. Tool box also had some fatigue cracks. Drilled some holes at the end of the cracks, beveled them out & welded them up. @AlexR was recently asking about spindle repairs. The spindles on this tractor had some pretty severe wear. I welded these then trimmed them back down to size with a grinder & a file. Bearing now fits snug on the spindle. That's all for today.

I know exactly how much grinding and filing goes into getting them back to round and even. One of my 701 spindles took more than once to weld and grind back true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a cold blooded pig on first start up when it's below 20 degrees out. With 25CFM at 90psi it makes all the air I need plus. Could probably run 2 blast cabinets if I wanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
