Toyota JDM mechanical projects, and adventure! I am a new channel and hope to grow! Please feel free to ask advice, ask questions or give me suggestions! I am a journeyman welder from Prince George BC, Canada. Everyday is an adventure!
I'm trying to weld a piece of the back of an automic transmission back on and a friend just gave me a 70 amp/115 volt stick welder. Been having mixed advice on if this will do the job. One guy said it would probably work if I used E4043 rods in 1/16" but unfortunately, 3/32" is the smallest I've found so far except for TIG rods. Any thoughts or advice is welcome.
12:45 ... 😄 Great content. I've got an old Made in Canuckistan Honda that I need to get after that'll probably suck down muriatic acid like Moosehead. Thanks.
Oh, yes! This has been my dream for over 50 years; a 4X4 Willys Wagon with the panel wagon verticle rear doors. PERFECT! And a SBC for power. Now, please keep it a manual transmission! What a nice build!
Nice truck. I have a 1997 diesel 3L toyota dyna 4x4. Partime dual shifters. Im thinking of doing a similar SAS but not sure i want to go your route with the Land cruiser axle. Can the hilux LN106 axle work?
@@highaceoffroad2887 yes i would just because the runs will still show up under the next coats gently wet sand it with 600 grit and take your time you can save the paint job
Metallic Green.... wow, talk about stepping the bar man! Metallics are hard to spray, and green is probably the hardest color to spray. Good stuff man! stick with it and you will get it.
Yeah, now that I have sprayed it and know how little the first coat has to be, I am confident going forward. just have to fix these runs first, lol bugger! I wanted a color that stands out and I love old school metallics so I figured I would give it a try. I love the color in the sun.
@@highaceoffroad2887 you can change the shade and depth of "green" with under-coats as well. If you want it to brighter paint it yellow first, if you want it to be deeper paint it blue. That's why green is so hard to spray, because picks up what's under it more than any other color. It's almost like spraying "Candy"..... and Candy Apple Green...... WOW that's got to be the hardest of them all.... lol.
@@highaceoffroad2887 Seriously though.... for a 1st try, it's not that bad man. You know what you have to fix, and you GOT THIS Man! 4-5 light coats, let them tack, then your.... "Here we go" final wet coat.
No, just cleaned the injectors and after taking it apart about 6 times we got lucky and it sealed up..guess it was taking in air? Is my best guess. It just doesn't want to die..lol..
Oh terrible, lol, I keep wanting to take it apart and regear it but I am always working in others stuff, did start a new winch bumper.. vids to come as we do more on it.
It works! I have a lawn tractor that was only bubbling in 4 of the cells. Hit it with my Lincoln dc welder. When I shut it down one loud pop came from the cells. Put it on a 4 amp charger for a few hour. It is showing 13.5 volts. Working great.
I found out in table settings you can set the time it takes to find the metal, it keeps resetting to 5 sec, I change it to 10 now as soon as I turn on my table, I left the torch where it was while I was learning it. It has been working great the way I have it set now so I keep it there.
Nice rig man. Did you do a solid axle swap? The hiace trucks are all IFS from Japan that i have seen so far. Can you share a chasis model so I can search.
