I am looking for some welding Info on a job that mite hit my door step this week
Eqt - Link Belt LG Track Ho - Hyd Cylinder yoke repair = build up than machine back out - machine work done by other shop
I am just welding the piece
Weld Job - yoke piece take's a 4" pin that has worn into yoke by 3/8" or so = egg shape = build up -
*** yoke is said @ this point to be 4140 ??? I don't know -- cill is 6' L
my ?? is what type of proper arc rod to use ?? first thought is 7018 or 110-18 ? any Ideas out there
I also have mig & Tig full welding shop tools
** other ? will this need to be re-heat treated ? later after machining

THANKS for any input on this

don't even want a key less chuck ??? why thats like having a reg chuck on a hammer drill rented one before to try out
well short story got a spline drive hammer drill LOL
-
also 6010 is a good rod to learn with Not easy to run & you must work it !!!
but if you can weld with it EVERY other rod is EASY to use !
-
witch Old Guy ?? LOL

PS -- Hay lets put Ifi user Name on there badges to

what I do for treadle control is heel control youre much !!! more stable on youre feet this way ! Da
NO 2x bys or blocks -- it just take a step = FB on the PH frame & a bigger treadle arm so easy to do yet ????
learn this along time ago !

put where you're @ in you're profile there mite be a smith down the road from you you never know !

get a piece of 1" x 1" sq stock from welding or steel shop - we will call that a hardie tool
look for sq tubing that's 1" ID that you're piece fits into & that's 1-1/8 " OD
the tube wall thickness will matter !! the right size tube is out there - then weld that tube into hardie hole 7018 well work fine
I do this often for other smiths that want there anvil hardie tools all the same size
hope this helps
-
Opps I was thinking BBQ lol - nice tool rack
-
Heel control is the way to go thats my 2 cents worth
that's how mine is set up

looks in good shape & thats a good wt for a portable anvil not to heavy to move around
I have a 110 PW I use for portable shop PW 185 & 300
also looks like it will clean up easily -- $ 3.00 a lb in Ca is about right
there a good anvil !
-
very interesting way to form stuff LOL
-
WAY COOL!!! matto got any pics we love pics friend has both skid steer & hammer HMM ? lol
you doing that cold ??? i am thinking fire pit dishes ?
-
I will Second what Steve Sellls said on Marks book very well done lots of HOW to do right !!
I have all 3

Daswulf what I use for the welding table is the cheapest !! red oxide spray primer I can find
& paint the top with it - that does 2 things cut sticking spatter down 95 % also now you can draw on table for projects
with sliver pencil - it can effect grounding some though I have a ground cable hooked to the table so if I need
a better ground on the project I use that or if I want to control ground arcing to table then I put project on plywood
& use G lead - all of my steel tables - cranes & other stuff are on a common shop ground
if I have to use my GOOD red oxide paint for table then I thin!! it down to almost water then wash the table
keeps rust away to here in the WET!!!! north

PS -- carb cleaner & a rage with erase sliver pencil marks on table nicely I draw / Layout alot of stuff on the table

yep I second scrambler we use them here in the fishing fleet
also logging cables but the tool is much bigger & metal & splicing cable is NO fun !!
-
Great Idea !! just mite have to add that to the design of a steel anvil stand for the shop
right now adding to PH tooling & Hammer racks + building dies + need to work on PH + + LOL
-
great idea !! looks like lots of room for tooling now
I have some Lg pipe just mite steel the idea for a Lg vice stand I need to build someday
-
I have been welding since 1977 & always learn something new from Johns posts !!! & other welders !
Jim I will second that Thanks John & All

well tried a copper shim didn't help there's alot of oil in the wedge housing I can.t get to and clean out
can't take the wedge out all the way cause it hits the hammer frame when I get a chance I will take the hole top
unit off the hammer clean both wedges + slots
will cut wedge leanth down or turn hole unit 180 degs so I can remove wedge when needed or ????
will try aluim shim also --- only other Idea I have is to lightly !!! file some groves or ruff up the wedge a bit
*** what do you think of the file Idea ???
welded a lifting ring above hammer now & will lift hammer & put rubber pad on top of ply between hammer & base unit
+ also will put heavy mat under the hole thing should quite it down some to
and been adding to the hanging tool rack just above hammer so its on going right now !!
I will post a pic of it all SOON ! LOL
Thanks for the in put keep it up Steve P

I have a problem with my #33 yang
the wedge on the bottom sow block -- not the wedge holding the die though -- is always coming lose after maybe 5 min of hammering
I have cleaned all the oil off reset wedge & still loosen up in two or 3 runs on the hammer ,This is a new thing for the Ph
not sure what to do about it ??? or WHY its happening ???
only thing I can think of is heating wedge & resenting it in the sow block ?
Or ruffing it up with a grinder some to help it stay in place better ? OR ???
any Ideas out there Please !
its getting to be quite a pain in the B-- *&%#@
Heavy Eqt welder ? = Help

Thanks all for the good input = info ! I am still waiting for pics of this job to see ? the cill is 45 min up the road
& I think off the Ho ? it needs to get here IF? I do repair ?
Charlotte Frosty Glen Yes Link Belt is on my calling card but I need more info on this job first ?
welding wise I Don't guess I do home work & test weld pieces that keeps me away from problems mostly
& when the other welders here say it Can't be welded seams like I end up with it- LOL then I get to say WHAT / WHY
then I weld it right !! I enjoy welding & am very good @ it I have a talent for welding & a love for it & I think outa the box !
talking to machinist today yoke was the wrong term 4" pin boss by 6" tc - cill end needs rework & is under compression only arm cill so the old egg shape worn out pin bushing thing just a bit bigger not something I do often - back ho / farm tractors / cats yes
yea been there ! have 2 to deal with after summer cutting ? Why do farmers wait till the pin falls out in the field & then run it through the machine ????????????? YEP Summer is here LOL !
when I see a pic will post it Thanks folks this is on going @ this point
Glen I know when to say NO ! not there yet ?
7010 rings a bell & I think ? I have some lol will ck ! I have many kinds of rods here most I don't use but I can try & see how they work & then apply to a job as needed - just my tig rods most shop don't have or know of
