In this episode I prep the chaincase for paint involving heavy rust removal , wire wheeling , sand blasting , descaling, welding and all the grinding. Hope you like the color I choose, lmk ! music. corporate music zone - team work
Love the work that you're doing, basically taking a clapped out machine and putting into all the work that is expected to get a decent machine out of it. And in the process, debuting a RU-vid channel too. Here's my subscription.
Awesome job so far It will be worth the effort. i have done this kind of thing before, a few things i found or was told to do was for any cracks drill a small hole(1/8) at both ends to stop it then weld it. for metal prep for paint use comet or ajax cleanser its way cheaper and more effective that any kind of paint thinner or chemical.
Just subscribed...LOVE the refurb/rebuild videos! So awesome...and keep on cleaning/scraping/priming/painting Sure it may not be perfect...but it will be done right! Keep em coming!!!!
I have only just found your channel, have watched all the videos in this series, your making a nice job. I thought that chain housing was trash, but you made a heck of a job on it. I am looking forward to your next video.
You are doing a great job with this project. I can't say that I would have continued after seeing all that rust damage. It is looking good now and keep up the work. It must have sat near salt water or something acidic for some time. I also wanted to tell you that those cracks that you saw in the head are problems from using too much starter fluid at some point. Too much can ignite early before entering the piston chamber. Looking forward to the next one you are doing a fantastic job.
I just finished watching all your Bobcat video's on this machine. Well done. Loving what your doing. Possible idea. Have you considered a laser gun thing? Apparently they remove paint and rust. I don't know any this about them other than what I have said. I may or may not be useful. Cheers Stew
Well, if was me I think you'd be better off finding another 743 that is burnt out or blown up. the frame and drive axle case is used up or completely shot on yours. You want a good machine when you're done. besides, you're this far into it.
Also, if you do reuse the one you have, you need to use baking soda and neutralize the salt still on the metal. That machine has been used in salt hence the deep corrosion.
Baking soda , yeahh I could’ve done that, it would’ve been cheaper too. I bought a por-15 rust converter product that I brushed on the whole case. Thank you. I will apply that to the rest of the machine.
