JHCC Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have another foot of track that I plan to mill into a flat surface. Given that much track has an induction-hardened surface, you might want to anneal it before milling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradox1559 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I found a wonderful dozer bucket pin for my anvil post in my local scrap yard. I'm going to get it cleaned up then weld it on tonight. It's 3ft. long with a 6in. Diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Dozers seem to be constructed of improvised anvils... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Especially ones that come with REALLY BIG pritchel holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradox1559 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 A buddy of mine works on heavy machinery, and was kind enough to bring me this section of axle that sheared off. It weighs about 40lb, so I was thinking it could go on the business end of my hammer ram. Then I can weld a mounting plate onto the end for my upper die. What do y'all think?

Charles R. Stevens Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Or make octigon dies (just to keep the sharp edges from getting you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradox1559 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm excited to say I'm almost done with my little project. I tried to get a picture today, but it strangley blends in with its surroundings. Just one speed bump, I'm going to use a friction clutch powered by a 1hp electric motor. I just need to figure out a spindle to press up to the tire. Does anyone have a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
