I would’ve made a gasket out of sheet metal, instead of stacking those little 4020 gaskets . . That’s a lot of space to take up. Besides, You want it tight enough that you can’t rotate that spacer with your hand…. It’s still too loose like you show it
How many hydraulic connections does it need to operate? And what do they all do? are hydraulics necessary or will it just work off the PTO? I wish there were more reviews on RU-vid. I hear good things about the auger, just not many “how to” or reviews. Thank you!
Depends on what options you have on it. You have to have a least one set for the Auger to go up and down. Mine has a hydraulic top link to level it so another set is needed for that. Also they make a model that has hydraulic cylinder for tilting side to side to make it level so a 3rd set is needed for that. So you need at lease one to run the machine but once you get it level you can unplug them and plug in the auger cylinder if you don’t have enough remote. They are the best you can buy.
LoL as honest as could be if you ask me , but please make sure your glasses are safe … there come a day you won’t be welding and you will need good eyes ! I debating between buying the performer or journey men , and I not even a welder , first time, I buying a torch and I agree 12 feet of hose is stupid lol Maybe I should get the performer and 50 feet of hose. Can’t make up my mind lol Don’t really need the power of the journey men but sounds like really nice torch lol … mostly want to work with smaller metals , brazing , light welding , not really need to cut anything near 1/2 inch .. decisions lol Thanks for great video !
Not the injector pump. It goes down into the back end of the block. Either runs off the flywheel or crankshaft. I just took the cable off to replace the rubber washer. I didn’t take the cover off.
Be careful with those chain strainers. That is the cheap chinese knock off of a strainrite. They are made out of cast iron instead of cast steel. They will snap into pieces and send wire flying. Same goes for the chinese version of the texas fence fixer. dangerous tools. You can get the real deal strainrites now for less than 100 bucks from several importers
I just ordered this set last night, I was wondering if you have added flash arrestors yet, and if you had any trouble getting a longer set of hoses with the 3/16" hose? Last question, I have some 1 1/2" steel plate to cut do you think that cutting tip will be able to handle it? Thanks from a fellow RU-vidr!
I don’t use flash arrestors. I also don’t use 3/16 hose all my hoses are 1/4”. I am not sure what size tip they give you it’s been a while but I am pretty sure it won’t cut 1 1/2” plate. For that thickness your going to need a 2 or 3 tip and the oxygen cranked up.
I wish I had your number for Rosebud in exchange for my number 6 Rosebud so my tank would last longer. Generic sunglasses are not strong enough to keep out the brightest flames from shooting ultraviolet light damaging your eyes. People like me use a 12 ft hose: shade tree mechanic working on his own car cuz he can't afford to hire mechanics and working on his own semi tractor because no mechanics are ever available. I like not having to roll up an additional 13 feet of hose.
In clay soil the weight of the unit is enough to drill. In solid rock there are two stabilizer arms that lock the 3 points together and it only moves a inch or so.
The acetylene gauge messed up on me but it was just the gauge and not the regulator. The gauge it stuck from time to time. But they are also on the back of a truck going down a lot of dirt roads and are always outside. So far I am very happy with them.
It’s does work but you can’t let it sit for a year it will get flat spots. They are going on 2 years and still holding up but do have slight flat spots from sitting over the winter.
The book has a lot of valueable information.The regulators are indestructable and add a huge safety factor .Victor is the best.But the victor welding tips are expensive.
"But the Victor welding tips are expensive". YES THEY ARE! I nearly collapsed when I was told the price of the number 6 Rosebud Victor I purchased Looks beautiful but at the same time I would like another Ben Franklin in my pocket. I had no idea that I'd be going over $100 for this or else I would have paid the headache to drive to a Harbor Freight. I'm just a shade tree guy and the Victor is going to run out of warranty do the time before I use the rosebud 5 times I bet.
