Thank you. I'm sure there were a few I forgot though, and many I didn't even show due to time constraints.

Thank you.

Thank you. Over a 35+ year career as a mechanic, I just took on various jobs, basically whatever came through the door for many years as I was trying to establish my name and place in the market. While I was watching the video, it kind of hit me that I was fortunate to have worked on such a...

Thank you. I've been accused before of being passionate. :rofl:

First time posting to this thread. When the wife and I bought our first home back in 1991, the main focus after purchasing the home was getting our shop built. I told the wife once the shop was built and yard completed then I wanted to finish off the 2-car attached garage. Well, that took...

Lookin' good Greg.

I've been MIA for a while as life got away from me the past several months. My son and I started the engine replacement in his WJ last weekend so I thought I'd share a few pictures of where we're at with his Jeep. His WJ started burning oil quite severely last fall so we knew an engine...

Hey everyone. Been MIA for a bit as I've been busier than hell and trying to get caught up after finishing the attached garage earlier this year. Now that my attached garage is complete I can get back to work in the shop but have a lengthy list of things to do. I was contacted a few months...

I"m pretty pleased with how ours looks for being early in the season. Friday night after the fourth mow of the season. Also edged and trimmed. Saturday morning while enjoying a couple cups of coffee.

Hey JJ, the wife and I passed by your place Saturday early evening. Honked as we drove by, you were just getting in your white shortbed. I wasn't really paying attention then the wife said "hey isn't that your buddy that lives out here"? Sure enough.

To be honest, I really didn't notice much of a difference in the actual weld or weld process. I started using it a few years ago because it is stronger than 4043 and with cast in particular, I wanted every advantage possible to avoid any additional stress cracking once the repair was complete.

Nice job on the cast aluminum repair. I've done quite a bit of cast aluminum welding over the years as well as I also bathe the torch/arc over the area to do some pre-cleaning measures before adding filler. It also does a good job of adding some heat for pre-heating the part. I've started...

Thank you. I would have thought if they moved they would have had some signage on the door or something. The fact that there was nothing led me to believe that they must have closed down. I'll check over on 25th street. Thank you.

Wheew. I was getting worried as I really didn't want to go back to an air compressor as the CO2 is just so fast. Bevgas in northern Salt Lake. 2100 N. Redwood Road Suite 85 Filled it while I waited. In/out in about 5 minutes.

Just hung up with Moonlight Garden Supply and they also only do exchange process of the tanks they have in stock. Shit, this isn't looking good.

Thank you. They open @ 10am so I'll be giving them a call. I was on the phone with anywhere I could think of between welding supply stores and medical supply stores yesterday with zero success finding anyone who refills. They are now Linde Welding Supply. Called them yesterday and they do...

Sorry to drum up an old thread but does anyone have a source for CO2 in the Ogden area? I went to Ogden City Brewing Supply yesterday and they are all closed up, building empty. I was just there a few months ago and got a refill and didn't realize they were closing. Norco unfortunately, wants...

@Gravy , seeing as how you specifically mention motorcycle cases I thought I'd share my experience from all the years of welding them during my career. Most of the time engine cases being a little thinner I will use a higher frequency between 90 to 120 Hz. Also, especially with the Japanese...

Thank you. Thanks. Balance was set to 60% EN to allow a bit more cleaning and I used 80 Hz for the majority of the repair. I bumped it down to 70Hz when doing the thicker portion where the transmission bolts up but the majority of it was @ 80 Hz. This puts a little more heat into the part...

On to the last of the pictures from the repair. Last pass. Total removed was .036" from the transmission mating surface. That small of an amount shouldn't have any effect on the distance between the engine and transmission to negatively affect clutch engagement. Another check with the...
