    Little town I grew up in the roads were dirt. One year the county works came through and reconstructed the roads, some with curbing too. As a 7 yr old kid I was so excited watching these guys and the star of the show was the Cat grader. That was in 1967. Really enjoy your videos Warren.

    I was wondering if our old Westinghouse grader had a bad planet or ring gear, it will bind once in a while but not seem to repeat in any particular section of the gear travel. Haven’t damaged any u joints yet but it came with a bent shaft. I’m betting it’s a snapped piece bouncing around and binding when it lands just right. Thanks for the free diag.

    I'm getting me an air hammer. I've never seen a heavy mechanic use one over here before. Usually panelbeaters only use them. Damn handy little tool...

    • @gullreefclub
      @gullreefclub 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The “Air Chisel” (air hammer) can be one of the most useful tools you can have in your toolbox if it has a good trigger. I have owned cheap ones and expensive ones but the best one I have ever owned (and still own) is am American made CP 714 it has almost as much violent brute force of my Snap-On but the trigger is absolutely controllable. Quite literally I can bounce off single strokes with it, additionally the regulator actually works but doesn’t not stall the piston (hammer) the way pretty much every other Air Chisel I have owned or used. If when you buy one ditch the spring chisel retainer and get the solid style or if you feel rich get a quick change retainer which personally I don’t really like because they get in the way when working in tight spaces. When I am peeling off sheet metal on a something and slicing spot welds I generally don’t use a chisel retainer because I am constantly switching chisels but instead wear a leather glove and hold onto the chisel with my hand. I learned that technique from an old body man who was one of the best body and fender guys I have ever seen. Additionally Air Chisels are only as good as there chisels so don’t cheap out on them. As a rule Snap-on chisels are the best ones I have found new. That said I have a draw full of ones I have bought used that are equal or better than the ones I bought from Snap-On. The Chinese chisels are 999 out of 1000 times absolute junk because the steel they are made of is low grade garbage. That all said opinions are like anal orifices every body has one and this is mine. Have a great day and a better tomorrow.

      Old engines with in-line injection pumps almost always tend to hunt when at low idle. Usually it stops if you increase the rpm just a little. I guess it puts the worn surfaces in a slightly different relationship and takes the slack out

    I think the broken gear jammed the whole assembly, broke the universal and unjammed when you took it off. It would probably be fine to just put it together if it were run by someone who cared. But you have cowboys out there jamming the controls. So replacing the gear(s) is probably the way to go. Thanks for recording you work!!

    @KevinJones-pj8kx 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like differential ring gears. Those 2 outer gears are probably a different tooth count by one tooth. That means the sun and planet set move many rotations to take up that one tooth difference. I have seen it in electric planetary low capacity winches. It is simple but works well until a tooth breaks off, jamming the gear train. Should be a relatively simple fix. Provided you can find parts. Like usual.
