Whoops...

Nah not really...I've done it...the thing is it's a small fastener, so the welding goes fast...but I would mig weld it on a fairly low amperage

 

Yup what he said. Clean up the top of the broken bolt real good. Depending on the situation I might use the angle grinder and carbide bit to get rid of some of the oxidation around the fastener and the air hammer with the flat bit to tap on the broken bolt. Get lots of nuts and don’t get discouraged when a few don’t stick well. When you get one to stick and the bolt moves work it back and forth small gains at a time.


Side note this guy does some cool chit

 

Glad that stump didn't get the truck

 

Even though the melting temperature of aluminum is lower the heat dissipation is 5 times faster than steel. It actually takes more power to weld aluminum than to weld steel.

 

Morbark chipper,rear engine mount bolts snapped off in pto adapter ring

 

Gotta do both sides but I win

 

That's what I say too "dunno why these things wanna fight me like this, in the end I always win!"

 

Just run it till all the blade trunnion bots are missing and the shims fall out. It will still gps just fine.lol

 

Washing condenser out this morning. It was 102 here yesterday and he complained that it wasn't cooling good. Pressures were spot on and when I looked at the condenser it was so dirty I couldn't see it.

 

Since I swapped jobs I won't have pics of those 200,000 pound machines. Here the biggest track hoe is a 160 and that is a go

 

Hey SKEETER McCLUSKEY, do you know if you have to time the engine on a jd 50g excavator to remove the fuel injection pump. Thanks Brad. JD dealer is not much help.

 

I believe so,is it a 4TN yanmar?

 

Yes sir. I have since found the timing procedure. Thank you for the replie.

 

None that I have had a problem with.
I have done this numerous times on aluminum , I just did a broken bolt in an outboard motor last week.

 

I have the 4TN tech manual here if you need anything else....

 

May hit ya up on that

 

Think they used a too much starting sauce.

 

A good start to a Monday!

 

That should buff right out...

 

I think we got the good out of this pulley. Good news, we put a new deck belt on Thursday morning, cut that morning, and my wife started cutting our grass that afternoon. It frayed the bottom edge of the belt but didn't cut it. And they had one in stock...
Bad news, it's made onto the clutch assembly...$300...
