      Next time instead of double nutting, just screw a nut down and weld it onto the stud. It also heats down the stud. If you want to protect from rounding, double nut so they are clocked together and weld them both. Then the socket pushes on 2.

    27:30 quick stud puller trick. Get a nut of the same size and pitch as the stud. Run one of the flats into a band saw, cutting into the center, so it’s now a split nut. Thread it in the stud, then grip the nut with vice grips- it will clamp to the stud, not mess up the threads, should be enough grip to remove the stud, but in theory would slip before shearing the stud. I’ve also used the double nut trick, but had far better luck with the split nut- especially in cases where the threads on the stud itself aren’t in the best condition
    Also used the split nut trick for holding threaded rod/bolts in a lathe for quick and dirty turning operations where you don’t need high precision.

    Some thoughts from a mechanical engineer:
    1) John is right about anti-seize not causing bolts to loosen. But he doesn't mention that because of the lubrication of the anti-seize need you have to lower the torque spec on the fastener. For fasteners over half an inch and a larger than 10% allowable torque spec, simply torque to minimum specification. For small fasteners that are easy to get to, under torque by 10% of minimum. For small fasteners that are hard to get to hope the machine spirit is with you.
    2) as far as this machine being nearly impossible to reassemble, there was a reason Case could buy out the company.
    3) don't be too hard on the guy who designed it. His bosses only wanted it to go together once. He was paid to make it last as long as the warranty was for, and be easy enough to put together with special tools. He wasn't paid to make sure shade tree mechanic could reassemble it 40 years later.
    4) don't be too hard on the guys making the replacement parts. They're probably not the guys who made the parts for the machine when it was new. They're probably two or three companies further down the line. They don't have the special tools to make the parts, and not enough on order to justify making new tools. There's nobody to ask questions. And if there is, they call you stupid for asking them. Also, all the prints are superseded, parts made out of materials that don't exist anymore, like ones that contain lead. So you do the best you can with a print twice your age. And hope nobody complains.

    I’ve done 100s of stud removals from aluminum cylinder heads professionally in the vehicle and you need to buy a set of stud removal sockets OTC the double nut technique doesn’t work that way you can put an impact on them once you add heat on the aluminum head not the stud and you can be very generous on the heat they are tougher than you think
    And I hardly ever drill a broken stud out the welding a nut almost works 99% of the time you will have to do it numerous times I suggest a really good welder and cleaning the stud with a Dremel on the broken piece side to get a nice clean surface I even build up the stud if they are broken way down in there, the welding material doesn’t stick to the aluminum

      Just never forget this: school is enough to get you started, but your success or failure as a mechanic come down to 2 things: your work ethic and your creative problem solving.

    I'm sure someone else has made this comment already, but I think deleting the studs and going with stainless ARP bolts would have saved you some greif. I recently had to replace rusted manifolds on my boat and the worst part was dealing with the old rusted bolts holding the old ones on. I found a great set of stainless ARP manifold bolts and I will NEVER have to deal with the rusted fasteners again. In 20 years, someone can come in behind my work and get the bolts out without cussing. Yes, rusted studs is a rite of passage. I have been fixing cars for almost 40 years and that stuff sucks no matter how good at it you get. Thanks for sharing, Large Marge will dig a lot better now for sure!

      @yason8582 3 месяца назад

      When tightening bolts the threads will not only pull the flange into the head but they also rotate and thus apply additional shear to the thin, aluminum thread walls. With studs and nuts the stud will only exert a pulling force that's more of less evenly distributed against all the thread surface. With an aluminum head I'd be much, much comfortable tightening a nut onto s stud rather than a screwing a steel bolt into aluminium. The studs don't need much torque to sit in place, just light handtight, protecting the softer metal.

    • Toasty warm in Virginia.
    • Heh. Crusty chunks falling out of that pipe. 😋
    • Clearing a little space to work. good idea. 👍
    • Hoping for a continued 75% success (25% broken bolt) rate, or better, on those last 4 exhaust manifold nuts/bolts. 🤞
    • Yay! The exhaust manifold and turbo are off!
    • Jon, you are going to have SO much fun extracting those broken bolts. Thanks for sharing all the fun with us. 😃
    • Good initial forensic inspection. Yeah, not looking good, particularly when you can push a turbine wheel into its housing wall.
    • Mmmm, shiny new turbo, exhaust manifold, muffler, and miscellaneous pipes. FWIW, I think that was a good investment. 🙂
    • Go go, mag drill!
    • Anti-seize for the new studs.
    • New exhaust manifold studs all installed. Great job! 😃
    • Er Ma Gerd, getting the intake and exhaust manifolds on. You sir, have the patience of Job. Admirable.
    • The goats are a nice little interlude in you suffering and struggles, Jon. Thanks Jennifer. 🙂
    • Starter wires repair. Good idea.

    • All hail, Klein tools automatic wire strippers!
    • New turbocharger going on. 😃
    • All hail Curt and the team at Area Diesel Service!
    • Having to remove an interfering stud to screw down an adjacent bolt makes one wonder what the manufacturing process for some of this equipment looks like, eh? 🤪
    • Well done, getting that turbocharger mounted.
    • A few adjustments to those exhaust pipes. Nice. Go, go Evolution chop saw! 🙂
    • Good idea, to prevent the wires on the starter from hot soaking under the heat from the muffler.
    • Plasma cutter. Doing a good job. 👍
    • Nice job cobbling together that muffler bracket with heat shield, Jon.
    • Totally agree to position the fasteners where they're easy to get to in the future, rather than looking pretty.
    • Yes, that new turbo and exhaust manifold are looking good.

    John, aside from you being a master mechanic, may I make a suggestion? I pulled thousands of broken off bolt studs from impossible to access places. 1) No MIG. MIG is weak. Use a stick welder and a stainless 3/32" welding rod. Preferably a 312-16, but most stainless will be much better than MIG. 2) Weld a small glob of stainless onto the broken stud BEFORE you try to put a nut on it. Then, put a nut on it. This makes a much better nut to stud connection and it gives the heat time to penetrate into the block. Now, add penetrating oil. Use a low torque impact to rattle the nut/stud. This helps the penetrant to get into the threads. Try it.

    Boy that was a beast of.a repair. Impressive to see you overcome no matter what Large Marge dishes out. I am a Design Engineer for a major diesel manufacturer. Noticed a couple things you might want to address. That turbo compressor outlet is gonna get real hot when you start loading that engine consistently . Potentially up to several hundred degrees. Will probably damage that blow by hose, looks like it is almost touching. Bigger concern is that muffler outlet. I have used Donaldson mufflers, why they but the cuff on the outlet of the muffler I will never know. It will act as a natural water trap. The way it is now rain water will run down the tailpipe and into the muffler. If it sets long enough with enough rain it may eventually make it into the turbo. It they just would have left a standard tube outlet on the muffler the cuff should have gone on the tailpipe (the one you cut off) and it would act like a natural rain shield.

      So far I'm told it's a PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation). It prevents the crankcase from pulling air from the intake. So basically it's a one way valve only allowing crankcase gases to go to the intake but not vice versa. I suspect it also limits the suction produced by the turbo from actually producing negative pressure in the crankcase, so it's not just a simple check valve.

      @fosterlewis7360 3 месяца назад

      @@FarmCraft101It’s important to verify it’s operating correctly because a stuck-closed PCV valve will result in the crankcase becoming pressurized much higher than atmospheric pressure. In turn that tends to push oil places it shouldn’t be, such as piling sludge into the intake manifold. Worse, it’s also common for the crankcase air pressure to get high enough to blow out various crankcase seals.
      Beyond all that, an engine breathing its oil isn’t going to run as well with as full power as one breathing only air and fuel. So a stuck PCV valve can cause poor running and low power, at least on some engines.

    Great job, John. Why is a Deutz so difficult? Because it's German. It is an frequent practice in Germany to make things in such a way that only special, anointed people with specially anointed tools can work on them. This creates classes of those who can separate from those who cannot. In American culture, mobility is a virtue. In German culture, obstruction is a virtue. This applies to everything from agricultural machines to software! Transparency is a no no! Standardization is a no no! Everything is made difficult on purpose. A German school psychologist actually told me that the DO NOT want parents involved with their childrens' education or homework or talking to teachers. Totally perverse -- literally, deliverately doing the opposite of what is logical or sensible in order to create barriers, limits, obstruction. Even the roads are poorly paved -- you are allowed to drive fast but you cannot because the roads are so bad. The state saves money while giving you the appearance of being able to drive fast. Normal people would pave the roads properly and just reduce the speed limit, like in France. Ceasar wrote about this German characteristic in Bello Galllico -- that the Germanic tribes always destroyed everything around their encampments, including fertile farming land, perfectly good houses, villages, people, in order to isolate themselves from invasion (even when they were the invaders). The principle lives on, even in farm machines. You did a heroic job! Well done! If there is ever another big war, we''ll be calling on you for help!
