Is the bore welding setup and others that you have shown common equipment in your industry/area? I know in the winter you are busying fixing your stuff but are you also taking on jobs of fixing other people's broken stuff. It looks like you have a lot of machining equipment and the knowledge to fix just about every piece of equipment you have. Plus in the last yearish you have added a giant storage shop and another work shop.

I only fix my own shit. I barely have enough time to get that done. The cat dealer who is renting the shop will be doing a bunch of line boring on their equipment.

My line boring setup is the pos poor boys set. The bar I want is 16,000 for the electric version and another 9 to convert it to hydraulic power. The cat dealers trailer they have probably cost them 80,000. That’s the best of the best . I’ll get some pictures when they are working in here next week .

Right before we started supplying this new plant the concrete companies changed the concrete to be more eco friendly. I’m thinking this is why they are getting low breaks. I’m hoping this will show the aggregates are not the problem and it’s in the Portland.

If the breaks come back low we will work on a new mix design to help fix this. I have no idea what’s going on. I keep the sand size in their impossible to keep specs. I checked the 200 minus in the sand and it’s less than 1%. The 28 day breaks are comming in at 8000-9500 psi. They want them to be 8500 minimum but would like 10-11,000 psi at 28 days better.

I work at a concrete plant. The limestone stuff has caused them to adjust the amount of cement in the mix, as in increase it. Not sure of percent-can find out- it also caused price of concrete to go from $145cy to $165cy.

i wouldn’t bet these idiots didn’t change the mix design at all after the Portland change. I really hoping this is the problem.
 
Finally the last hole all done. Should be able to get her put back together this afternoon. At the weld shop grabbing some dry ice to shrink the bearings.

Here is how I measure.

This is how I adjust the tool to get it cut to size.

All done.

lots of options for motors and controllers.
I'd keep it brushed motor and a gearbox so you could slow it down and not have it jerky or toast the motor.

figure out what RPM you need it to spin and that dictates what you end up with.

Probably like 5-20ish rpm.
 
how do we attached a motor to the shaft that makes it go?
can just use a coupler?

plug those things into this thing
and you have a manually controlled geared motor that will make 4100 oz in of torque.
they have no load RPM units as low as 12 RPM.
 
i really want a line bore/ weld set up. but doesn't make sense for the few times a year i'd use it. we also have a shop with a mobile setup that charges way too little for the service. looks like a wheel loader articulation.

this is the one i'm working on. top pin appearently can fail on these and it will just fall out, then the loader falls in half. this is a local bark and topsoil outfit.

to pin fell out and it folded the bottom.

this is the machine;

i'm not sure if they are shit and whoudl be sold off or not. the mechanics for the heavy civil construction place just up the hill said their komatsu's have been hit or miss.


anyway, this thing should be line bored after i'm done but the owner is starting to think he can get away without. we'll see. i just keep telling him he's be tarded not to. the line bore guys are cheaper than i am, money well spent.

when i was there last owner wanted to know if i could repair their shuffle load?? (not sure what they called it) trailer. i'll fix it, but its not high on my priority list. best i can tell is other than being way overloaded, it failed from a previous shit repair. all the panels and frame in this location where pop riveted on... the rest of the thing is all huck bolts :homer:.

i want a proper huck bolt gun. this may be the job that gets me one.

you will need a gear reduction to get the feed you need. Ac with a frequency drive or a DC motor. 486 is right with some sort of Bodine motor.
 
My dad had the A-Team get the smart car going. Damn thing was sunk in the ice 4”. Had to get the ground thawer out and let it run overnight to get it out.

They had a fuel pump/relay issue which they did get it sorted out.

Tomorrow’s project the A-Team will install 152 picks on it :lmao:. Sounds like they might make a rear cargo rack and put a hitch on back to pull a sled. Told him to buy a small harbor freight winch so he can self rescue:lmao:.

My dad is bound and determined to use it to feed the deer up north on his hunting ground. He asked everyone in the place 3 times is it going to make it:lmao:. Of course I say hell yeah:lmao:. I’m not going with him my brother is. I told my brother to have a go pro going so when something does happen and dad flips hit shit it will be on camera for all to enjoy. :lmao:

You can hackfuck it with a big mag drill and a couple pillow blocks.
close to putting together a feedscrew setup for my mag drill, just to reduce backlash on the quill feed

Those are called walking floor trailers. Does that bitch have a bend in the floor? How do the floor sections still slide back and forth?
 
No speed control, but this will get you 12RPM and 5 foot-pounds of torque for $30: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07F8Y36PD/
Beyond that, I think everything I saw you would want to feed through either a gearbox or a chain to slow it down.

Sure looks like a bend in the floor at the far end of where the wall panels are broken loose.

Now I'm imagining a trailer with a set of shaky vibrators on it like a screen plant
probably destroy the truck or the landing gear immediately though haha

What happened to 53' end-dump trailers?
I only ever see them hauling scrap these days.

I've seen those things still work even all bent up. Look at the crossmembers up top, somebody was loading that trailer pretty rough. I always kinda trickled it in from the bucket vs. the other guys going for speed and just dumping the whole bucket at once. I actually saw a guy unloading one time with one of those concrete lego blocks in the trailer, it must have smashed the heck out of the floor but it was still unloading.
 
How about a windshield wiper motor and a rc stuff for speed control. Simple and cheap.

walking floor, i keep forgetting the name. first one i've seen or worked on.

yeah a big bend in the floor, they said it still worked to unload. guess it looked alot worse entil they got it unloaded. to the brim with wet compost, think he said 100yds. i'm going to have to replace about 12' of the frame there and fit some new aluminum side panels. going to be a few weeks before i get to tear it apart.
