WELDING repair for a 1910 CASE STEAM TRACTOR
HTML-код

- I downhill weld a drive shaft from a historic Case steam tractor. It's awesome to be able to help Keith Rucker and the Florida Flywheelers get this historic machine back in tip top condition.

My uncle was head machinest at a big power plant for many years. I have went to his work with him on weekends when he was welding up shafts and he put them on a lathe and use the feed system on it to travel and had made a positioner for his mig gun. He had mounted a pipe threader coupler to the input shaft so he could put a hand held electric threader on it and turn it on then engage the feed system on the lathe then lock the trigger on. This gave him perfectly uniform beads that were easy to turn down afterwards because it was already mounted and centered in his lathe. Just change tooling and off to the races he went
Done a lot of build up welding on shafts and other parts, with mig and sub arc. It was challenging to say the least with mig. With sub arc, the most difficult challenge was building up edges without burning it away. It took a lot of tries, but with time I learned to put a weld bead on the corner of shafts and other parts. First off, was getting the angles right. Second was to get the right heat out of the welder and third, getting the right speed of the positioner. I got to where I enjoyed that type of work way more than the normal production routine. Really liked this video.👍👍👍
Nice vedio glad the weld positioner worked out to bad we didn't get the tracking part to work .just needed some more resistors. Thanks again to all the RUclips creators for all the help. Chuck Gause. florida flywheelers antique engine club
Thanks Mr Jim
Great video was at my friend's house yesterday Fred Huges house for his wife's Birthday and he told me about your RUclips channel great videos
Thanks for sharing! I watch guys like you who know what they're doing.
Thank you Craig
I guess this is what the part Keith and Brian turned goes on. Glad I found your channel!
Thanks for stopping by.
Well, duh...it certainly is. Nice to see this part of the repair process. Thank you for posting!
They didn't fool around when they made that positioner. It looked like it paid for itself by allowing you to focus on the bead you were laying down instead of having to get in awkward positions.
It is so nice to see vintage equipment in operation so multiple generations of people can experience the old iron from yesterday.
That positioner was literally made from scrap, but they are that good at what they do!
We used a Spray steal with torch like a egg shell
Nice job. Slick turning rig.
Compliments of the Florida flywheelers. Great bunch of guys and gals!
That was awesome ! Thanks for sharing !
You should get a hold of the people on this RUclips channel sponsored by
Autman Auction... the name of the channel is Classic Fractor Fever. You could probably pick up a whole ton of work because you are amazingly good at what you do
Thx for sharing. Glad to see you posting content again.
Great video. I got plans on coming to the Florida Flywheelers show in February
Let me know! Look forward to seeing you.
I have built up a lot of shafts but that’s a great setup,you got to love old iron ❤️👍
I do love old iron!
WE will be in Bowling Green in Feb. and I have put this on my list of must do. Thanks for bringing it up as I had not thought of it.
Enjoyed…good video production/discussion/build
Your skill-set is so incredible, it is mesmerizing to watch all of the detailed work you do.
Just watched Brian Machine the clutch arm on his Ginormous Monarch . When i saw the thumbnail i knew this had to be part of it lol
You are good at explaining these things. You could tell that the pre-heat was effective because when you tacked in that keyway cover, the sizzle of the arc sounded just right.
Mount the welder to track torch adjust travel speed.
Great repair! Would really be interested in more info on your positioner/build. Thanks!
Thanks Jim that was an excellent job. Great presentation also
Thank you
Just use a drill bit to remove all the junk inside the oiling holes. Flatten the bottom edges of the small drill and radius the ends. Then just rotate the bit by hand to remove all the things inside the plugged oil holes. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Worked for me fella. Remember good tips are FREE !!!
Your right about the second pass . Very easy to jump a bead . Cheers .
The only thing I would have done different is set the shaft and lathe vertical in case the weight on the hot shaft wanted to pull a bow in the shaft
Looks like someone needs a spray welding rig
Way to much to build up to spray weld. Otherwise Adam would have done it! Thanks for watching.
Good video.
Thanks mike!
Welded automotive crank shafts for years, I would have Done a summered arc on that shaft and it would have looked beautiful. Not that yours don’t!
Do you mean submerged arc, sub arc?
I see you have upgraded from your Keith - positioner. You might like some of the welding on CEE. typically has some good info on settings, wire etc. This one is a shaft weld repair. ruclips.net/video/5kGeFBWJc8E/видео.html
Is there an update to this repair?
I can't seem to get something confirmed about what you said in class at the bash about the high freq. switch on older tig welders. Did you say to keep it in the continuous mode for all types of welding, even metal?
Continous for AC
@@DoRiteFabrication Ok, Thanks
What is the duty cycle of your welder?
100%
Aww man downhill MIG you are just begging to get crucified by the internet welders!!! lol
Only those who think they know....but really don't.
