That was special! Never seen JB weld used quite like that before! A long time ago the local Co-op had the shop I was working at make some new kingpin bushings for a fork truck steer axle. The boss at the co-op measured the holes and told us what size. He measured wrong and the holes were egg shaped really bad from years of running with bad bushings, so the new ones just fell through the hole. They brought them back and had us knurl the outside as big as we could get, and they still fell through the holes. Instead of letting us fix it right they used RTV silicone to hold them in the holes long enough to put everything together. What a joke that was. Hope you have a good one!
JB weld!! LOL! Of course in this case the user of said product probably didn’t care, but do people not realize that JB weld has a tensile strength in the mid 4 digits of PSI. And then wonder why it doesn’t hold up when used to replace material that was somewhere from 35-100,000 PSI tensile strength?
The dealer in my area wanted $4000 to line bore my machine. Ive about that invested into my cheap ebay setup but it's worked quiet well for me. Except I did have ti hand weld the bore to build it back up.
I started out with a home built machine and hand welding, I copied the York 4-14 but built it heavier duty, I still use it quite regularly. As for hand welding, I would have quit bore repair by now if I still had to do that every day 😂
Did you add the cross tooling slot on your 4" bar on the end? I have thought about that at times but never bothered. You should se the 990 Cat I am working on now with similar hackery performed only one year ago. No JB weld though I am sure you would not be impressed. It will be highlighted on Instagram when I get to it. I hone them as well when it counts. Anyway looks great. Cheers
I used to be anal about trying to do that to all of them, now I've switched to just making them however they came from the factory, with the exception that I always up the press fit.
@@perpetualmotion1 I have done it many times. But now I tell customers it’s simple. I’m doing it the right way or not at all. Personal preference. I’d rather send out good work then do alot of work and skip things. And yes I have customers who say they don’t have the $ or they don’t care. I tell them. If you don’t care then send it to someone who doesn’t care at all 98% end up saying. Just do it the right way then.

I'd say your story is even crazier than mine, people's lives are on the line in that situation!

I am always absolutely amazed at the places I see that crap getting used.
good job
Thanks
Good work man, keep the videos comin
Thanks, will do!

@@perpetualmotion1 the hand welding was the most excruciating part of the whole ordeal.

I make all my bars from scratch now, the one you are admiring is the first one I made, I had to bore a blind hole 9" deep so I added the end slot.
It came pretty nice compared to what it was . Question what is the press fit number on those bushings ? Thanks
Factory bushings were running about .005" I upped it to .007".
No, No.... Line bore Guy just had the JB weld mixture wrong....
The owner talked to the guy who did it yesterday, he claims it's legit because he uses epoxy with fiber in it 🤣 charged $1500 for that disaster.
@@perpetualmotion1 Can't make this stuff up, crazy
Do you normally leave a shoulder on the inside to prevent the bushings from walking to the inside?
I used to be anal about trying to do that to all of them, now I've switched to just making them however they came from the factory, with the exception that I always up the press fit.
Lmao wow that is something. I wonder how much the last guy charged for that beautiful craftsmanship.
I am hoping to ask that question when I see the owner tomorrow.
I just personally couldn’t leave a face like that.
Even if it took a little bit of time.
Then you should have seen the bucket that went with it that they didn't have me touch, you could have had an entire extra day of pro bono work there 😂

I'll be glad to take the customers that you run off then🙂
Great job fixing stupid.
Pretty crazy huh?
What kinda line borer is that
looks like climax bb4500 but with a milwaukee power head
Climax bb5000
For all the time and bullshit you are wasting you can just replace the end tube in one day
What part of I did it in 8 hours did you miss?
