Hi Kim I did a similar job on a Dexta some years ago on the rear mounts for the loader brackets it took at least half a day to get them all out . this brings back some memories. Thanks for posting
Nice work. A suggestion for the broken corner area. Take a brass bolt and install it there and then weld up the corner. Than remove the brass bolt and angle grinder the excess off... It works great for repairs... Thumbs Up!
Nice one Kim, good work. As a time-served maintenance fitter, sheared bolts are a problem I've had to deal with many times over the years. High tensile or stainless bolts, are extremely tough, so the drills and the extractors used for their removal, must be of the highest quality if success is to be achieved. I use an extremely sharp centre punch and take great care to get as centred as possible when centre-punching the bolt.. I then use a small centre drill to drill the bolt followed by the correct drill for as large an extractor that can be used. I have a set of Dormer screw extractors which have served me superbly over many years and with which, I have extracted many sheared bolts.
Great to see you doing what many women don’t know how to do. I had to remove my side supports and put new clutches in my Fordson. Fortunately my tractor wasn’t abused and all the bolts came out easily.
The Majors were great tractors, I use to own a Power Major and a Super Major Muir Hill wagon pusher . I am currently working on a Caterpillar 951 A, Traxcavator, JCB 2D and a I H TD6 . Great video .
I've been pulling bolts this way for 30 years and counting, you are 100% correct, well done! I just love it when a customer brings in a bolt removal they butchered up. I make a lot more money by having to remove the broken off drill bit, easy out and tap before installing a helicoil because they drilled it off center and on an angle 🤣🤣
Nice video. Your content & video editing is smoothing out with a nice balance of not dragging on & skipping menial task portions. Best part of this video is your patience and advice to those who bodge up an otherwise straight forward task. Cheers
i've done that job on a few majors, sometimes when the threads are to far gone a heli-coil is required. (very close to edge of casting though 😬) you demonstrated & explained that very well.
@@CalamityKim1 Been at this before.....well done. I had a Major with two bolt holes broken out, easiest way for us was to make up a plate to fit the four holes on the engine block just in front of the ones you worked one, assemble the frame and weld the new plate to the frame.....worked for years.
The one key thing to remove broken bolts is patience, patience, and more patients a lot of times I will warm up the surrounding area, then use a flat washer and do pretty much the same thing you did. I feel like when you put the flat washer on and then the nut you can get so much more heat into it to penetrate the broken fasner ….
Cheers for the video. Been a long time since I’ve had to have a nut welded on a snapped bolt/stud. I don’t weld, but was pretty proficient at shearing stuff at one point. That’s a greasy looking tractor, great work getting it closer to how it was.
Great job. Easy outs are just a way for tool makers to sell you something that doesn’t work, and make life harder for the next person down the road. Don’t know any “professional” who does use them. The weld on technique is always the best.
You'd disconnect battery even for your alternator, but she probably has a dynamo, very good uploads love your mechanicing your very knowledgeable credit too you
Well done on removal of the drilled stud , very impressed , broken stud always makes me shudder , I’ve had my fair share of those encounters and not always successful, so more power to you , well done !👍
I pretty much always drill with a left hand drill then tap left hand tap and thread in a left hand high grade bolt. Worst case I weld a nut on the outside of it but seems like even well stuck stuff comes out during the drilling or tapping and seldom takes the third stage.
Hello from across the pond. Just came across your channel and found it very interesting. Hope to see more videos soon. You have some interesting projects and great skills.
This is a good one!Some old wrench guys use wax.And it makes sense. wax is much more heat resistant while oil is immeadiately burning off before reaching the threads.. . Gonna Try that out next time Anyways, you doing quite well there! I like that you and Lord Muck help each other out with your Projects! Makes good Content
Great video. A few years ago I bought a set of straight spammers on Amazon for 20 quid. Because they are straight u get max torque on the nut and less twist. Less chance of shearing bolts. Keep the videos comming
@@CalamityKim1 And get them with six points instead of twelve ( sockets as well) why less rounding and slipping when using the 3/4 inch impact or 6 ft cheater pipe on the wrench or breaker (Johnson) bar.
Straight spanners don’t go flying off when trying to undo a nut and bolt, when you can’t reach the other side, like through a fire wall. There’s no twist on the spanner as you undo, unlike like a ‘normal’ spanner, with 15 deg ring end.
I have a major like that one, when you have welded the nut on grab a small hammer and tap tap tap while it is cooling, it loosens the rust and often gets a first time result! I cut a little metal plug if they have been drilled and make it a just firm push fit, stops.the wire going down the hole. Tapered easy outs are useless they tend to expand the bolt and make it worse. I have had good results with the parallel splined tap in type of easy out and also by tapping in a torx bit but I think that welding is best. Loved the video, I’m subbing! Phil whitley
I use that hammer technique from time to time. Normally it’s my last resort if After three attempts it doesn’t move. Good idea with the plug. Never needed to myself. But I will remember to give it a try next time I have a similar one. Tapered easy outs are the spawn of Satan. They do exactly that. Not actually tried the parallel ones before I wanted to buy some but never seen them for sale in before. Thank you though Kim :)
@@CalamityKim1 "Tapered easy outs are the spawn of Satan" lol, exactly right, I dont think I have ever succeded with them unless the bolt was so loose you could have turned it out with a scriber!! If the bolt is sheared down the hole I have turned a small tube up on the lathe and put that in to protect the thread, mainly so I dont weld to it!! Phil
have a look at my channel if you get chance, its got tractors! th-cam.com/users/philhermeticvideos I have a water pump, temp guage and generator to fit to the major, then sort the hydraulics and some tinwork to fix!! then I start on the big bee topper! Phil
I use the same techniques myself, seen me drilling a hole down the center of the ones that are broken down in the threads and applying heat and using an easy out or hammering a torx bit into said hole, all depends on what your working on. A set of left hand drill bits is a good investment for the smaller stuff that's not totally seized (if the bit grabs the broken stud it usually unscrews it) especially where you can't apply heat. Different tactics for different scenarios. Good job though, well done.
I absolutely agree. The majority of the time I find I can always get bolts out with this technique. The torx bit trick is a much better trick than the easy outs, only once in the tonnes of bolts I’ve got out has an easy out done it. Nice thing with a torx bit if it’s and impact one or even a big normal one you can gently use an impact driver as well or impact gun with a quick burst of power which I find helps a lot.
Good work, probably do your own bolt shopping though. Sometimes in a situation like that rather than pushing down on the spanner or wrench, which can be a little hard to control, lift up on the wrench using your legs as opposed to your noodle arms. ( never heard that, I like it)
nice cut into Bryn there of course for those who dont know he was swearing at fatty lewis who had fallen off a ladder and craxhed through a window ( twin rown outtake ) 👍👍👍
I've never had much luck welding a nut to a broken bolt, but I have welded a washer to the broken bolt, then weld a nut to the washer. That's a lot easier for me, using a 1940 stick welder.
an induction coil heater I would use to put heat in to the remains of the bolt nicely heat it up till it golws cherry red twang thehead of the bolt with a hammer snd hey presto it will turn
I say every time Lord Muck doesn't get enough bolts, you bill him for it! And always use jack stands. Hydraulic jacks aren't always safe, and being safe is the bottom line. 🙂

Fantastic video Kim I often use dissimilar welding rods on bolt removal and had good luck with them.

You’re lucky. It was a bit of a faff but not anything major really. (Excuse the pun 🤦♀️)
Can’t stop watching the videos 😅

A class act, great video .
JCB torch and Snap-On tools
Lovely ✌️👍👌🇺🇲
Hi Calamity Kim & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Calamity Kim & Friends Randy
Brilliant video, was wondering when you would upload again 😁
I have found that tappy tap tapping with a hammer on the nut after welding seems to help. Good video
Nice job explaining , I hope the new owner takes better care of it .
Hello from across the pond. Just came across your channel and found it very interesting. Hope to see more videos soon. You have some interesting projects and great skills.
Great video Kim, keep em coming 👍
Great video Kim your all doing a great job 👍🏼😍
ooh , this just popped into my recommended .. instantly Subbed
i'm surprised Lord Muck has never said you have a channel .. i guess he doesn't want the competition .. lol
Thanks John and not much of a competition, my vids are a bit poo haha.

Good idea. I could do with some straight spammers actually. I prefer to use spammers as little as possible generally for that reason.

Already have a load of 6 point. These weren’t my tools I was doing it for Lord Muck 😊

No he was somewhere else, I just got on with it 🙋♀️😬
Great work Kim! As always :)
Well done Kim, No advise or tips from me because you just "got R dun." all sorted. Cheers, Jim in NZ.
Thank you Jim ☺️

Didn't know those were still around haven't seen a running one in close to 30yrs I use to overhaul them as a teenager

got same problem on Betsie
👌👌👌👌
Should be a bad fix then :D good luck.
Excellent mam

nice to see a new video Kim
good tip if you can't do it don't 😑
😂
😂 I mean, If you can’t do it you end up making it much worse for whoever has to put it right.
There was a pair of jeans, standing in a pair of boots toward the video end. Did you have a staff assistant❓😎👀🚜
No he just came by once I’d finished it :)
Good work 👍👍
A copper tube the size of the hole lets you weld onto the piece of bolt without welding to the threads.
I say every time Lord Muck doesn't get enough bolts, you bill him for it! And always use jack stands. Hydraulic jacks aren't always safe, and being safe is the bottom line. 🙂
Excellent
Thumbs up.
Thanks.
And people laughed at me for buying that blue jack.
Bit overkill 🤣 kept lifting the major off the floor 🤦♀️
Thought you had a cameo appearance in Kurt's latest Lord Muck film.❓👀🚜
Maybe 🙈🤪☺️
Send it kim lol

So who drilled the hole wonky then...I wonder....you didn't let Kirk anywhere near it did you....? Lol
Nowhere near. Probably drilled by Stevie wonder 😀
twin towns classic all else fails try wales

Not a fan of easy out extractors. More like a easy way to cause more headaches.
Absolutely. Especially the small ones haha.
