  1. I am going to find the right threaded fitting for the opening run copper tubing some distance away and open the valve, I haven't even opened the valve yet...

    the threads look good, there are many farms in the area, including mine. but it is rather small for any type of fertilizing application.

    Thank you all for your valuable input, I will proceed with caution.

     

    I found this link:

  2. I picked up these bottles at a yard sale, not until I arrived home did I notice that one bottle has a sticker  with "Anhydrous Ammonia" on it.

    I Have googled it and it don't look good... I was thinking of making a bell of it...

    The little one is a C02.. $20 for both. The photos were rotated sideways without my permission

  3. These are from a fatal train wreck in Belmont AZ. some  time ago. I don't know what part of the train they are from.  You can see the crystallization in the cast that may have caused weakness. I have been using the hitch looking thing for an anvil. The hallow one hurts my ears to much when hit with hammer. Each weigh 100 lbs or more. At least two of the engines  that collided melted. Any way this is my find from awhile ago

  4. I will present the evedence....You decide...My opinion is that it is an oem bell that the apprentice must ring 65 times per minute (RPM).

    It may have been for a small rivit forge of some sort.

    I have no use for it but ...for 15 dollars I could not let it pass, and it is in really great shape.

    The galvenizing makes me think it is a rather late model.. I don't know the history, as to when production stopped.

     

    maybe I can make a lamp out of it    B) <_<

  5. I have been unable to find a reference for type of steel in steering assembly parts: balljoints, pitman arm etc... I had a new front end put on the truck ($$$) and saved the old components.

    My guess is they would have a good amount of carbon, I havent done a spark test or tried to forge them yet..

    Maybe I am not using the right terminology in the search?

    Thanks for the help!

     

    In my search of JUNKYARD STEELS I found the "steering Arm" to be 4042, a rather general term. I also found this awesome reference:

  6. Riland doesnt exist any longer...sadness. It was only used for about an hour total. Nothing chewed or obvious, therin lies the problem....I am searching this area for a OCD electronics guy that might find this a chalange. I will continue my search...

  7. Really odd thought.

    Have you turned it upside down and fiddled with it?

    I had a loose bolt fall out of one I turned upside down and fiddles with about 10 years ago and it worked great after that.

    f you have broken tooth or other scrap down there it can cause your problem.

    It's been awhile since I checked this thread but you pinpointed the problem!

  8. 0.7854xd squared is accurate to 5 decimals and much faster than pi r squared. A quick in your head estimate is .8 d squared, or .75 if you only need a rough estimate, say figuring how much concrete to mix to fill a post hole.

     

    You can use a hyd. cylinder with air if you install an inline oiler. Recovering the oil at the exhaust port isn't hard and it multi-tasks as a muffler so it's quieter.

     

    Frosty The Lucky.

    Thanks for this "0.7854xd squared" and all the other most valuable data.

     


     

     

    The force the cylinders can exert, is directly related to the pressure applied.

     

    This is easily determined.

     

    For the sake of simplicity, let's say you can deliver 1,000 psi of hydraulic pressure, to the Cylinder.

     

    The Cylinder Bore is 2.5 inches.

     

    A quick easy way to determine the number of "Square Inches" on a circle, ... is to multiply the Diameter by it's self.

     

    ( 2.5" X 2.5" = 6.25 )

     

    This is the number of Square Inches in a SQUARE of those proportions.

     

    A Circle equals about 70% of a Square.

     

    So, ... to find the area in Square Inches, of the round BORE, ... multiply 6.25" by .7.

     

    ( 6.25 X .7 = 4.375 Square Inches, in a 2.5" Bore. )

     

    Now, ... 4.375 Square Inches by 1,000 psi, equals 4,375 pounds of force.

     

    ( 4.375 X 1,000 = 4,375 )

     

     

    The rated maximum pressure of 2,500 psi, would then yield a maximum force of 10,937.5 pounds.

     

    ( 2,500 X 4.375 = 10,937.5 pounds of force. )

     

     

    Now that you've found the area of the Bore, ... you can also quickly learn the Volume ( in Cubic Inches ) of the Cylinder, by multiplying the AREA by the STROKE.

     

    ( 4.375 X 6" = 26.25 cu. in. displacement )

     

    Knowing the Volume of the Pump, ... and the Displacement of the Cylinder, ... allows you to determine the Speed and potential Cycle Time of the Cylinder.

     

     

     

     

    .

    Inspires me to take a class in hydraullic theory, I apologize for monopalizing the thread. I will do more research.

  9. KennyO: The cylinders in the third picture... what bore and stroke? Future powerhammer maybe?

    Cross Brand...one 6" stroke 2.5 bore 2500psi... one 12"stroke 2.5bore 2500psi.  That is all I know, I'm looking for some numbers but to caked with scum, I need to soak in solvent.

    I would like to know how much pressure thay are able to exert, (or is the 2500psi the result) for a press or hammer but dont have enough data. Can hydraulics be made to be pnuematics

  10. Most of the iron in the truck was payment for welding services, some from scavaging, I am moving it to the new shop and out of the garage.

    The hook was a "JUST GET IT OUTA HERE..." thing, I can only guess its intended use.

    My girl friend is going to use it in the horse stall for bridals and such, it looks to be wrought iron,

    I notice some striations, (nomenclature?)
