How to remove a Sheppard M110 pitman arm using the Mechanics Mate Quick Change Hydraulic Puller and 25T M110 pitman arm attachment kit, safely and easily.
Thanks, and yes it does flex a little. The same thing airplane wings do. The flexing also stops it from falling off when the pitman arm breaks free. It's a nice little bonus.
Good question. There really is no comparison. Ours will remove it faster, easier and with very little effort. Also, we are able to apply a significantly higher pulling force.
Well I think there will be a couple of disadvantages what is the price and the convenience The tool I mention all you need is a ratchet or impact but what does your unit cost in US dollars
Here are the links to what you will need. You can use any 10000psi hydraulic pump, or we can supply one. Add these to your cart, and it will work out the cost in US$ including shipping and insurance. Don't forget, our coupling system allows the hydraulic cylinder to be used for multiple applications, just like your impact or rachet. All couplings and attachments are designed and made in Australia in our own facilities. We also happy to look at other applications. mechanicsmate.com.au/product/25t-sheppard-m110-pitman-arm-puller-kit/ mechanicsmate.com.au/product/25t-cylinder-only-kit/
@@mechanicsmateau I happen to have a BS in engineering. Deflection is accepted and expected, but that hardness of that steel makes me flinch a bit. Safety glasses for sure.
@@theprofessorfate6184 if it were me, I would always use safety glasses. As with all jobs that a person undertakes, they must be looking at the risks and minimising, eliminating or providing suitable protection for themselves and others. This includes inspection of the equipment that is being used for signs of stress, such as cracks, damage, etc. This is equally important when it comes to the hydraulics, as an oil injection injury is deadly. We design and manufacture and test all our products to see how they perform under design loads, misuse and overloaded. We do this for several reasons: - To ensure the product is capable of performing the job it was designed for. - Understanding where/if there are any weaknesses, dangers, risks, etc - When/if we discover any weaknesses, we determine if a redesign is required, or if the mode of failure that has occurred is safe. If not, we redesign or discontinue and recall the product. - If it can be broken, we have already broken it, and know how and why it broke. Needless to say, we have had no warranty claims to date. We generally, do not video or publish our internal testing, however, we did when we overloaded our 450kg rated engine stand. Our video of a 8.3L Cummins, estimated at 700kg on our small 450kg engine stand was a test I was itching to do to see what would happen. I have since checked our calculations to find that: - The mainshaft with this engine was loaded to only a 1.05 factor of safety. - We used the incorrect clamping bolts Class 4.6, instead of Class 8.8 and found some minor yielding. If we had used the correct clamping bolts we were well within design limits. - The bearings however were overloaded by 70% over recommend design limits for 1,000,000 cycles, which equates to 20 years of service at design load assuming 1 engine is built per day, every day for the 20 years. - Surprisingly the gearbox showed no signs of excessive stress, as this was a major area of concern, especially when we discovered an excessive offset in the load. We have since performed a destructive test of one of these gearboxes to find that the bearings fail first, which is very comforting, as this only stops the turning. If we experienced a gear failure, then the engine would spin freely, which is unacceptable. - The frame experienced some deflection under the excessive load, with no signs of yielding. This test proves with complete confidence that this engine stand is more than capable of performing at its design limits, and if it is substantially overloaded, that it will to some extent perform at a reduced level. This is a typical example of what we do to the products we design and manufacture. Here is the link to the video of this test. th-cam.com/video/AvD2XEAANPE/w-d-xo.html
Nice work Fellers ! I also noticed the spread on the jaws at 2:15 .

So how does this compare to the schley 14900 Sheppard pitman arm puller
Good question. There really is no comparison. Ours will remove it faster, easier and with very little effort. Also, we are able to apply a significantly higher pulling force.

Where can I get this tool?
send and enquiry through our website www.mechanicsmate.com.au
I need one how do I get what is the price
Frank, send us an enquiry through our website www.mechanicsmate.com.au
Simple..
That is our aim.
That was scary watching those arms deflect.
Have you ever flown in a plane and watched the wings?
