Re: 555 repair report
I'm going to machine a billet pillow block out of some 1018 tube.
we came through a rock garden and there was a large boulder blocking teh exit. the only way to make it happen was wheelstand it and blast teh other side. when we came down, teh shaft hit the rock. this broke the pillow block up and away. after that, the rest of the run it flopped and we could hear it over the engine adn through the helmets. it finally grabbed everything on the final hill. :-\Ken_00 said:Looks like the 'burn-through'....not the actual weld. Aluminum will do that if the heat isn't just right or if using a spool gun. Everything clumps up on the back side looking like crap.
What a mess of wiring!
It's prob been said somewhere, but what caught on the d-shaft to cause all of that?
