Old School Repair | Experience Machinist Rebuilding Wrecked Crankshaft From Main Journal

[@jeffadams667]

40 years ago I worked at a marina and we had a pre WW2 Bucyrus Erie crane with an old 371 Detroit diesel in it. It only ran at an idle to run the winch. Crankshaft broke in half at a main bearing. It was so old and obsolete that no engine was available. So the owner was looking at $100,000 to buy a 50 ton crane. We had an old welder from Nigeria that said I will fix it for free if you pay me $500 for every month it keeps running for the next 2 years. Owner said sure go for it since it was stationary and we just lifted boats off of trailers and swung them out into the river just idling the engine. I was the youngest mechanic that was tasked with helping him fix it since he was just a welder and had no tools. So I pulled the engine oil pan off and cleaned off the worst of the oil. I was expecting him to have found a crank somewhere. Nope he simply took a die grinder with a carbide bit and rigged it up so it was inside a large shop vacuum hose so all the metal flakes were sucked up. I slowly turned both halves of the crank still in the block as he ground down the journal. Then he measured the bearing play and using paper he took up all the play in the remaining 3 main bearings. He then tack welded it and took out the paper spun the crankshaft and measured the run out on the end of the crankshaft. Satisfied with the results I bolted a steel bar on the front of the crankshaft. I would turn it slowly as he welded one complete pass. Then turn it slowly for a minute as he chipped off the slag. Then he would read the run out and decide where he would start his next pass. He was welding lying underneath the block and he was a better welder than any licensed pipeline welders that worked there. After about 30 passes he declares it is perfect and the run out was 0. So I am expecting that we now will take the crankshaft out and have it machined. Nope he declares we will just let it idle on 3 main bearings. It had oil galleries drilled in the block and he ran an external oil line to somehow bypass the welded oil gallery in the crankshaft. We never did anything else in the way of bearings or seals. We filled up the oil pan with diesel fuel instead of oil and he had put a bunch of magnets in the oil pan to catch any metal. Started it and let it run for a minute drain the diesel, clean off the magnets. Did this 3 times then filled it with oil and it ran for 25 years. It was simply beyond belief to anyone that worked there that he fixed it with no parts at all and had welded it while still in the crane. Truly amazing what you learn to do when there is no other option plus he made $12,000 for his knowledge. This guys repair was cool but I got to see the Nigerian method and it was way cooler to be a part of it. Sadly new owners bought the marina and scrapped all ugly old rusty equipment.

Amazing skills as a machinist and welder. He machined both ends of the broken crankshaft, aligned it and did an interference fit with a hammer, welded a new journal, straightened the entire crankshaft, machined the new journal to size and polished it. Using ancient machinery like it was the latest. Bravo!

[@stevengabalis4986]

Don't think he used both halves of the original crank. He bored a hole 1 1/2" or so into the main on one side, then cut the journal down to leave a 1 1/2" pin sticking out on the other side, where did the extra material come from? I'm guessing they had another doner crank to use for one of the halves. Guy does have mad skills, though.

Nice work right there. It looks like he had a donor crank to use to make the repair though. The original broken crank was broke right at the face of the counterweight and the ones he used for the repair both had stubs to machine down to make the fit the correct length. You can also see the torch tracks in the end of the crank pieces where he cut them, that is why they are so hard when he starts the original facing cut..

If the engine is very understressed, like a big naturally aspirated Diesel that revs to 2k, it might work but any kind of modern engine with reasonable specific power this would not hold. You do not weld engine internals because the heat makes the steel weak. Modern engines have forged or case hardened crankshafts for a reason.

Really great seeing this obviously very skilled and experienced craftsman/technician performing his work. The two crankshaft pieces he is working on don’t seem to be the ones removed from the engine at the beginning of the video. The crankshaft breakage was at an angle. During processing, the craftsman is turning down one one the crankshaft pieces at the breakage area and hollowing out its center (female). He then turns down the other crankshaft piece at its breakage area and leaves a stub at its center (male), to be inserted into the first crankshaft piece. Now the two joined crankshaft pieces together are shorter in length than the original crankshaft by the length of the aforementioned stub. Or has the craftsman made both crankshaft pieces “female” and joined them by a common pin? If so, that important step was not shown in the video. Or did I miss something? Thanks for making the effort of filming, editing and posting these very satisfying videos!

Мастер молодец, в таких условиях отличная работа, но напрасная и не вся. Диагональные масляные каналы в самом вале заварил(эти масляные каналы видны были когда вытачивал втулки для посадки одной половины вала в другую) под углом от шатунного колена в коренной масляный канал идут, который он в конце видео шарошил и точил от своей сварки. Отсюда вопрос: во вкладыш коренной как масло поступать будет? Весь коленвал внутри в масляных каналах, по которым идёт смазка коренных и шатунных вкладышей. Вал в месте, где варил, был немного длиннее (в начале видео когда доставали расстояние между коленами больше в центре, чем на других коренных шейках вала), он же две части вала одну в другую забил из-за стачивания коленвала на 2-3 сантиметра. Красивый, титанический, возможно точный, но напрасный труд.

[@mechanic507]

😮

[@AKWoland]

он же отдельной вставкой соединил половины. Тут безотносительно геометрии полно вопросов. Когда обтачивалась сварка, стружка шла "змейкой", это значит, что металл сырой и долго это ходить не будет. На заводе шейки закаливают при помощи ТВЧ. Будь шейка закаленная, стружка шла бы мелкой крошкой, да и не факт, что старые резцы ее взяли бы. Вопросы вызывает и прочность соединения: сварка делает структуру металла неоднородной, возникают внутренние напряжения. Такое варенное колено сломается снова довольно быстро.

[@merlexrus]

​@@AKWoland там толщина закаленного слоя минимальная, а сам вал и должен быть гибким, что соответствует стружке. Не знаю насколько там полезная или нет работа. Надо смотреть на допуски самого двигателя. Есть такие моторы которые с допуском в десятку будут работать и работать. Маслянные каналы они потом сделают. Так в описании написано.

Геометрию он потом правит гидравликой. С чего ты взял что маслянные каналы заварены? Он как раз и выточил так чтобы отверстия на двух половинках совместить.

[@steveu235]

@@thisguy2958 WHY are they suspect?

[@dennisyoung4631]

I might be able to give some insight. Going by how the two pieces of the crank-to-be-welded are machining, it’s some hard material, and probably some kind of alloy steel. This kind of material can be *tricky* to weld, especially when it’s in a heat-treated state. You will probably need pre-and-post heat to weld it decently, so it does not crack - as well as the right kind of rod - and the whole process will need to be done to *very* exacting standards of care and attention to detail. The workpiece will then need straightening, etc, after it’s been, at the least,stress-relieved.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Addendum to above: thus far, *NONE* of those things I mentioned are being done, and I’m suspecting the rod in question is analogous to a type 6013 - as those can run decently on AC, and I’m suspecting that welder is akin to an oil-cooled industrial grade “buzz-box,” sort of like an extra-heavy-duty Lincoln “tombstone” welder. The workman appears to be a good welder, though - beads look excellent, far better than anything I’ve ever managed.
