It's Amazing the repairs these Men Do!

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Thanks

[@lvisser9648]

welding on a shaft break whole shaft..it hardens

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

It hardens. But we can machine it

[@danthurman9076]

@@KSMechanicalEngineering weld it again after it snaps the axle off under load a someone ends up like mole's asses ? No not for me thank you.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

@@danthurman9076 yes

[@richardcotter4506]

how can iy be faster than replacing if you already have it off the trailer?

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

It is low cost and faster than making a new shaft

[@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys]

I love to watch these guys fix all kinds of things we would throw away and get a new one but they save people a lot of money making the old like new again and they do it with just the few tools they have and they are to be admired for their efforts to complete the job no matter how hard or complex it is. GOOD JOB GUYS~!!!

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Thank brother

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Nicely done!

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Thanks for the visit

[@richardluce775]

The bent welding stick and safety flip flops give it away…. But kidding aside, obsolete parts or down time,this would be a repair I’d do if I had a lathe that big.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes thank brother

[@jayc4562]

Weld on a stub axle. One weld and done. Use a piece of angle for a jig. You are putting a lot of heat into a surface a bearing will ride.

[@andresm8258]

Good job. Those that say why not get a new one. Maybe in there country it easier/cheaper. Have no concept that some countries labour is cheaper and fixing something outweighs replacement. Plus from experience I can say that finding a replacement is very hard sometimes in some countries. Having the infustructure to have retail stores with what you need and within easy reach is just not realistic. Plus doesn’t matter where this is done. He’s doing what CUSTOMER has told him to do.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes it hard to find and high cost for replacing a new shaft

[@larrykrise3609]

good work sir.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes thank

[@sreyleak5035]

good ideas❤❤❤

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Thanks

[@timcope3115]

Soon as I saw the chipping hammer I knew where this was and what quality it was going to be.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes you can quest it. How the quality we expected

[@mikeandcolleenk9831]

7018 3/32 roll axle weld around keeps shaft straight.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes thanks

[@wizardind3203]

i like the stick for that

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Thanks

[@tcmits3699]

Cut shaft off and just weld a 1/2" square plate with four holes to match a bolt oñ hub assembly with correct bolt circle to match rim. Or rear axle from a front drive mini van

[@terrysaenz3009]

And how is that faster than replacing?

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Low cost

[@canadianoddy8504]

Yes well done but not everyone has a lathe that big. Many of us out here are qualified but don't have all of the tooling needed.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes big lathe

[@elcochero1172]

The only thing that was saved was the cost of a new steel bar ! The labour cost plus electrode Welding rods, and electricity is possibly equal to the cost of the steel bar and the machine time is the same .. Total waste of time !!!

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

It is about 60-80$ for new steel bar cost at my region and machining cost is due to the work shop

[@six4standingtall]

How much did he charg?

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

@@six4standingtall about 60$ for welding and machining

[@iandibley8032]

Not a bad repair I done this method on numerous occasions, but I build up using mig than less chance of an inclusion.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes

[@larryperdue508]

Yeah but mig requires argon and it may not be available 😊

[@brianbloom1799]

Dude of course you can fix it if you own a large lathe, I own two lathes but heavy 10 , I sold a 8 foot south end , know One is going to be able to fix, there axle with out one.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes

[@thomasrape4616]

That would be an option if I owned a lathe but I don't. I can do the build-up but then taking it to a machine shop would be costly and time consuming. Much cheaper and faster to just buy a new axle. An axle like that is only a couple hundred dollars and you'd spend that at the machine shop. Most of us don't own lathes especially that big.i have done just that with a spiņle on an antique tractor I restored but an axle like that wouldn't be worth it unless I owned a lathe and knew how to use it.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes of course we need a new axle.but customer want to repair this

[@parnuzutech]

Listen on process...

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes

[@kendallreed1711]

Cool to watch if you can't get stubs

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes

[@rikabob]

Well done but bearing slides on so easy. You will need loctite to fit it.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes Thanks

[@wizardind3203]

weld er up

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yeah

[@richardbaker7557]

good job but quit using that 7024 and go with 7018 the fluks on 7024 is to watery,7018 will give a better weld......

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes thank

[@user-hs8qj2fi9y]

Welding the stub axle creates alot of stresses. Not a good idea.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes but we have no choice

[@alonsomattos6492]

Muy bueno pero falto más ajuste en la rosca

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes thanks

[@bobabbott8370]

I would have just turned it out and heat shunk a tube over it...

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

Yes

[@bigbelconut]

Never weld in a machine, especially when you ust the machine as a ground, the ground is going thru the head bearings, you screw those up your machine is junk.

[@KSMechanicalEngineering]

We weld on the machine for some part and the machine was old
