How To Remove A Gib Key hit and miss engine

[@Cowmynder]

We spent 2 full days wrestling with a gib key that was on our Hesston baler. It stuck out about an inch beyond the end of the shaft (A MISTAKE). We used a cape chisel, heated it up, you name it, it would not budge. Last night after coming in from the shop frustrated and at our wit's end, we found your video. This morning, ( day 3), after splicing a 5/8" bolt on the end of the key and welding 2 5/8's bolts on either side, we used a 2" pipe and a 3/8" plate (with a hole it it), and double nutted the bolt. Had to use a 3 foot, 3/4" drive Snap-On ratchet to turn it. We crossed our fingers. I'm happy to say that the gib key surrendered, and has been removed! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge. You're a genius! Rodney & Pam Sequeira Willow Creek Angus Caldwell, Idaho

Thank you so much Sam. I’m at a point where I need to pull my first flywheel and didn’t know where to start before watching your video. Now I have a game plan

I had 208 Fairbanks and C96 continental's running pump Jack's. A few witties. Pumping 400 bbls of oil per day. I'm impressed to see someone intersected in restoring old engines. Old E42 Ajax impress me. CMA Ajax. Got any. I would love to see you restore some of these. I love to see expert's work on these engines. I'm a old timer. Bethlehem and Steel mechanic.. Back in the Day's.

I’m going to be doing this in a few weeks. I hope I have the same success. Your knowledge is much appreciated.

A sight to behold. Got my welder's helmet on in the nick of time! Penciled it all in my notebook. Dogeared the page. Nice work SDS!

[@wallysprint]

Excellent Sam! So glad to see! How about cooking some of them bologna sandwiches again? For old time's sake? Please take care, stay safe..

[@MrGunPilot]

Can't beat that; excellent shop class lesson today.

Another fine job, Sam. keep up the good work.

I know I am late to the party but I have been building a house the last year. I had a 5HP Fuller & Johnson where the key wouldn't budge. I ended up pressing the flywheel on farther with an attachment I built to remove the key. I used 2" x 1/2 steel, two pieces of 5/8 all thread and a 2" 1/4 wall tube. It worked also

Very enjoyable watch Sam, thank you.

[@BruceBoschek]

Hmmm, well, Sam, it was easy in principle. Took some pretty clever convincing, though. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@brendamcdaniel1958]

Excellent job as always that’s how it gets done. If I need to know how to do something I’d watch your videos I’m sure I could do it then. Kinda neat to see you working on a different brand of engine. Thanks 😊

I have a old engine that powered pump Jack's. I would love to see it run again. Setting in a shack on the oil lease.

mr sam i miss videos when you was cook pie with ham with two glass of water. my mom like your vids too.

[@johnkemas7344]

Nice demo!

[@evanjones2539]

Nice one SDS... you came a bit close to my nose with that damn hammer though.....

[@bluetoad2001]

entertaining as always Shopdog

[@bluehornet6752]

Sweet! Pretty amazing how the penetrating oil you used made it as far in along the key as it did. Once you removed the key it appeared wet. Good stuff--was it PB Blaster? I know you like to use that stuff.

[@shopdogsam]

free all and pb used them both

[@jamesciampi6392]

Good job

[@purpledohboy]

that probably felt pretty satisfying to get out

[@428eliminator3]

Good one!!

[@Radiotexas]

[@johnhili8664]

Sam don't you think that beard is a fire hazard when welding:-))
