  • Happy Independence Day to my USA Kingdom Followers and RUclips Subscribers. the plan was to relax and do little things on the Adams grader known as Gomez but once i got soaked with gear oil there was no turning back. it was a long day being dirty but all the gear box that control the function of the grader now have new oil and lubed up to work. finished out the day with a big surprise in the steering box. a little thing broken and that will need to be improved with welding and some more welding. thansk

    When plagued by a lone mosquito in the bedroom, I just let it bite me then slap it. Easier than trying to chase it down. Thank you guys for the 4th of July wishes! Grader is coming along nicely, enjoying watching it come together. Goodnight all...

    Again the King has filled his video with lots of terrific tips and techniques you can’t find anywhere. The Nut-stopper is brilliant! The only thing close I’ve seen is expensive Hot Rod nut and bolt hardware that is tiny compared to Gomez size hardware.

    Good evening from Cape Cod ⛵ Happy Independence Day to those of you in the Great White North🎆 thank you for your wishes Sir Rodney, Xena and King Joey 👍 I'm really paying attention as you walk around explaining what you're up to on Gomez, there really was some fine craftsmanship in engineering involved, very impressive piece of equipment. I'm glad to see that it's turning out good for you, yeah there's a couple of broken things here and there but I have faith in you Joey to get it straightened out. Keep up the great work and the awesome content guys ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

    It’s looking more grader like all the time Joey. I was noticing that there is almost as much welding rod as there is original machine!
    I like that angle thingy that you have on your impact, I’ve never seen one before.

    • @kingofobsolete4789
      @kingofobsolete4789  2 дня назад +2

      yes the rocks and more rocks up here are hard on machines and men so lots of welding in repairs. the 90 degree angle thing was very handy when doing winter road truck and trailer springs. it gives full power compare to the purchased 90 degree impact wrenches. thansk

    I’ve used one of those light weight electric pressure washers to clean coveralls and other clothes that had gear oil, grease, and ground in dirt before putting them in the washing machine. Sometimes a little Varsol helps as well, but good luck getting that. WARNING! Higher pressure washers might damage clothes. I have not tried them out, because I don’t have one. Grader is coming along nicely. Looks like it sustained damage falling off a mountain. Had not seen an Adams grader before now. An internet search says they came up with the first leaning front wheels on a towed grader. Keep having fun. We are all learning.Take care.

    • @kingofobsolete4789

    I’ve had problems with wash-out with the silver anti-seize over time, so sometimes the copper works better. On those bolts that capture the ball for the blade frame up front, I would use copious amounts of blue lock-tite to prevent vibration loosening and rust seizure. This is based on lessons learned as driller trash. Yep, I buy blue lock-tite in the pint bottle. Thanks for the videos. Take care.

    • @kingofobsolete4789

    Sir Rodney might be able to locate new U joints for the grader. Some truck PTO's have a shaft that runs back to the hydraulic pump. Those shafts have U joints. Also Princess Auto may stock a unit you can adapt. I'm so helpful everyone have a drink.😊 AL B.

    In LeTourneau's later years he would have put a diesel generator on board and used 575 3phase and dc motors with no fuses because they blow and are troublesome. This made it easy to troubleshoot , just look for and replace everything that was burned up.

    That steering box is nice. Too bad the only funky part is that pin. But you know, as odd-ball as it seems, maybe, Sir Rodney is going to pull off some of his magic and find it to be an off the shelf component that fits some bit of common industrial equipment.
