      I have used it several times. I did the engine block from my 1935 WC Allis Chalmers in a 55 gallon barrel. It actually took out lime deposits from the water jacket. I think the block was as clean as one I had baked and shot peened.

    • @claesmansson9070

  • @jimbathgate4578
    @jimbathgate4578 4 года назад +118

    At some point when trying to salvage something (like this chain), you've got to bite the bullet and say "more trouble than it's worth," so good decision on replacing the chain with new. Bearings and chains are hard to save if they've been overstressed. Nice demonstration on de-rusting the chain with a battery charger. Thanks

    • @williamdavidson9009
      @williamdavidson9009 4 года назад +12

      Yes and if the chain broke it could take out the other one, bearings or the gears and that could be real expensive

    Hello to a kindred soul from a far away continent ... You are 100 percent correct regarding the tires sizes causing additional stress on that drive chain.. I worked in the strip mining coal industry in eastern Kentucky and the western counties of Virginia in the late 60s thru the early 80s.... Operated and worked a lot of old equipment then.. I throughly enjoy watching what you're doing. Stay safe, near Raleigh, North Carolina, USA....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Stay safe, well and have a good week.

    I love how different the reaction is with the electrolysis compared to most of the chemistry channels I watch. Dunno what the precipitate is and don't really care.

  • @a0cdhd
    @a0cdhd 2 года назад +16

    At 24:49: The muck floating on the surface of the electrolysing liquid is a combination of Iron 3 chloride (FeCl3), which by itself is slightly acidic in nature. (About pH6 give or take a point or two.) Sodium oxide (NA2O), is the other by product. A concentrated solution of sodium oxide will have a highly alkaline pH of around 14.It is sometimes used in the glass making process and for making Sodium hydroxide (NAOH) which is also called caustic soda or lye. NAOH is also highly alkaline and is often used to clean drains and to make soap. NAOH is also used in the textile industry but I have forgotten exactly what it is used for. Probably to remove fats and waxes from wool. Hope this answers your question.

  • @robertordewald8678
    @robertordewald8678 4 года назад +9

    You realize that with all this love and attention you giving this old girl she may soon start demanding more. It seems at times the more you fix the more you find wrong. I seems to me to become an ugly cycle. The trick is to give her enough attention so she understands she now has a good home but not so well treated that she becomes spoiled and starts demanding attention. I speak Motor Grader and while yours has an Aussie accent she seams quite content with her new situation. You never really own these machines, you serve them while you are charged with there care and keeping.... Seriously, thanks for sharing. I would love to be able to help! If you ever need a manual on an American made machine contact me and I'll try to find it for you. You will pay what I paid plus actual shipping. Regards, Bob Ordewald Staunton Virginia, USA

    I worked for a year for a ready mix outfit. We only had one new single screw tractor everything else was old Mack trucks. We ran those old mixers until they just would not go anymore. Our mechanic was a junky, only good when he was high. It was quite an outfit. The thing to remember was that when work dried up the boss had no bills since he paid cash for all of his equipment. Our dozer a D8 I swear was in John Wayne's movie the fighting SeaBees. It did not have hydraulics everything worked by cable. Our front end loaders were all down to brakes on one wheel if that. Our material ramps were built with just the right amount of slope to stop the loader and let you drop your load. It was a great place to work if you liked going to work at 430 in the morn and by 500 you were covered by cement dust. Worked there until OI went back to work for the local Telco. Good clean telephone work.

    Love your videos, particularly how you solve issues with what you have on hand, such as making the tool to get the filter canister off. I would have to classify you as a genius mechanic 😊

    That gasket material looks a lot like CNH anaerobic gasket sealant. the stuff is really neat, you could set it out for four years and it won't harden, but once the two surfaces meet the stuff tenses up overnight. Seals really well on the old Case tractors we work on. Love the videos!

    That’s quite a cool hood ornament. I’m impressed with the abandoned digger. I bet the wasp nest was an un welcome surprise.

    Marty, I would jack up the rear tire and lower the front. Take a garden sprayer filled diesel and spray it out real good. You are really great at figuring out things so I have no doubt you will get it done. Really good videos!!!!
