Tim’s payloader and generator BS thread

[Eccentric]

Still waiting on chinesium undercarriage parts. Business been quiet so I've been catching up on maintenance on the wheel loaders.
The driveshaft on the Schaeff didn't have a grease zerk for the slip yoke. The female splines are teflon coated, intended to be maintenance free. I drilled and tapped a #6-32 plug and fiĺled the whole tube with grease till it started coming out the splines. I had put a cut down wooden broom handle in the tube to help fill the space first. It stiil took nearly to grease cartridges.

What was that about your undercarriage needing parts and sticking a broom handle into the female tube???

Swinger steering cylinder has been leaking for years. The rod is buggered. The spherical bearing ends are sloppy. I'm gonna order up some 1 1/8" induction hardened chrome rod, seals and new ends.

Sooo.........now you have a buggered rod and your ball ends are sloppy eh? Whatever you've been doing.........................you're not doing it right.

Tim you cant replace those bearings?

i had another cylinder done for the big barko a couple months ago, that did not have a spherical bearing on one end, it has an aluminum solid block insert. i have never seen any thing like that before, idk if its barko or redneck? its not worn, so it got put back and greased to beat hell.

I can replace the bearings by cutting them off and welding new ones on. I figured I spend little extra time on it and change it so the spherical end bearings can be replaced without cutting and welding. I got one of these coming for the rod end, $65. I'll thread the new rod to accept it.

On the other end, I'm doing a $12 spherical bearing in a mounting "tang".

In the future when the ends wear out, it will be a quick easy cheap fix.

My little chinese friend, Roxanne tells me my chinesium undercarriage parts have arrived in port and been loaded into the truck and re on the way. Not sure exactly when they will arrive but it will be after new years day. I've requested a pro number. It takes a day to get reply.

can ya re seal them cheap tie rod cylinders? wood splitter has got weak. i see blaines has a new one for 200, but almost 60 bucks shipping and tax.

 

[Dieselfitter]

Today I ordered the cylinder seals and chrome rod from https://www.crconline.com/ .
I have their catalog, measured the stuff and ordered it up online. It was about $100 including shipping. Seals only would've been about $50 shipped.
I ordered the spherical bearing off of ebay too, $18 for 2, shipped. I'm gonna make the tang. They're kinda spendy to buy.
I got a pro number for the chinesium track pins, bushings and sprockets. It should arrive Jan 5th.

 

[Dieselfitter]

Chicom stuff arrived. I need to measure it. I checked a few pins and they seem a few thou over.
I've been boring a "tang" for the spherical bearing. I realized I don't have a tool to cut the snap ring groove in the bore. I dug out some inserts and made a holder.

 

[Dieselfitter]

The new toolholder worked good. I left .025" of material in the bearing bore. After I weld it, I'll bore it to finish size. Welding it will likley distort the bore a bit.

i never had a problem with that.......might take a flap wheel to it just to clean up and spatter. or weld it in with an old bearing in it, then knock her out after.
