    Andrew, welding the nut to a broken bolt is a great trick! Add this to it for even better result, after you weld the nut onto the bolt spray the nut with cold spray! Any freezing spray. Try to not spray the material the bolt is in. The cold shrinks the nut and bolt away from the material the bolt is stuck into making it smaller and easier to get out!!!! Works like magic!

    Tip for welding 2 cylinder type things together - get a piece of angle iron, support it so it sits like a V and put the cylinders in there and tack them together. If they're different diameter, figure out the math to shim the side for the smaller one (by the difference of the radius of the two - if you have a 2 inch rod and a 1inch rod you have to weld, radius is gonna be 1 in and 0.5 in, so you have to bring up the smaller one half inch, so shim it with half inch pads on the angle iron) You will get them within a few thou of dead center each time, not to mention straight (as straight as your angle iron is).

    If you had a lathe and wanted to transplant the drive stub, the way to do it is to cut off both pieces, then drill and ream them for a dowel pin. You assemble both parts of the shaft wit ha dowel pin in the center for alignment. Ideally you'd weld it with TIG on a rotary axis (a fancy positioner isn't necessary, just rotate it smoothly around).

  • @tomharrell1954
    @tomharrell1954 5 лет назад

    Andrew, the build of the extended track is fantastic! Welding the new end onto the drive shaft is fabulous!
    I just got to get you to wire brush the rust off and wipe the grease off before you paint!!!
    Great work !!!

Thank you and have a nice day, enjoy that great snowmobile!
