My pleasure!

Thanks Paul

Glad you like them!

It is deflection from being hung out so far.

No. If you used hard face I don’t think you could machine it with much short of a grinder. Maybe cbn would cut it but it hates intermittent cuts and there usually is a lot of that in a welded bore. You ever bored hard face?

@@bcbloc02 - I have not. Given what you said, I'll know better than to try now :)

Nope. Word of mouth is plenty of advertising I don’t need to look for more work! 😂

@@bcbloc02 Excellent glad to hear that.

That is what I said a guy with a good burn table and some fixtures could probably build one in the time it took me to repair it. That being said it of course would have still needed the machine work so…… Regardless I work with the tools I have so it’s the route I took.

Barely, mainly that it still had 1000lbs of steel to work with. LOL

I would like to have an automated bore welder but that is a big investment. I currently am saving to have a ceiling and proper heating and cooling first.

Yup I definitely understand that, I’m in the process of building a shop so I can stop working on stuff out in the elements getting tired of it. The company that I used to work for had 20 cat 980 wheel loaders and during winter maintenance I would go through pins, bushings and possible line bore, split the tractor apart, the guy they had do the line boring had the automated welder it was cool to watch, so fast after set up. Any updates on old yeller?

@@cumminsnchevy I ordered some 17" rims for the back since the tires are junk and I have lots of access to 17" wheels taken off new trucks hardly anybody runs 16 stuff anymore. Sadly even though I ordered them in February they aren't supposed to ship till the end of this month. I struggle to find time to work on it anyway. I want to take it to Turoghbreds dyno event in May but not sure I will have it back together by then. It runs and drives now but has no turbos or intake system. It needs a couple of days of work.

Yes I’m still running weld typhoon 16s myself but I know I’m gonna have to switch once they stop making the tires I like only a matter of time, I don’t know how you do as much as you do, you must never sleep😂 but thanks for the update and good luck!🍀
