Great work again Ollie, Sundays wouldn’t be the same without our Snowball Engineering fix

[@StuParry-t8h]

Worked for a State highway Dept. that plowed snow on 3 mountain passes in California. Rust was exceled by salt and brine in some areas. We used to carry a wax candle in our tool box To help us remove broken or rusted bolt. Heat up the area around the broken head or threads and the wax would wick down that treads lubricating them and allowing easier removal.

[@gusviera3905]

Nice work, Oliver. It's always a pleasure to watch your work. Maybe one day, when time allows, you could give us a quick tour of the farm and all the bits you support. Just a thought. Enjoy Welland! Cheers.

The biggest problem with these videos is that I could watch them all day! I used to do a bit of agricultural engineering 50 years ago, my greatest regret is that I didn’t stay at it😢 Well done Oliver, you’re an inspiration to watch at work

[@jamesriordan3494]

Sometimes an air hammer can help break the rust bond on a stuck bolt if thermal shock doesn’t do it. Nice one mate !

[@geostawny]

Not a good idea on a cast iron manifold. Too big a risk of cracking it if you hammer on a boss on the tubing. Might be worth a try on the manifold bolts into the block

[@johnwarwick4105]

Yep like they say “any 5 min job is only a broken volt away from 2 hours of pain” 😂👍

Nice long video again. Thanks Oliver. And thanks for the Anchorlube shout out.

Have a great week ahead. Mike

I love the fact that you can still buy parts off the shelf for a 40 year old tractor ! I had a Honda motorcycle that was just ten years old that needed exhaust headers & I couldn’t buy a new part from anywhere.

[@weldor111]

Thanks for your informative videos and Thanks for not adding background music like a lot of providers do I'd rather just hear the equipment running or your narrations about what process your using.

[@ianmckay1780]

That bolt snapping was inevitable unfortunately, seen it so many times it's the nature of the beast as far as TW's are concerned, sorry for all the trouble it caused you, but that is life. Then you got your normal route of over engineering the thumb mount. I know you can't help it, making things better than they came in, but after all it is just a static thumb. Then you use an old sheet of plywood to perform gymnastics to replace the plate. I must say that Jasic set looks brilliant. all the work you have done with it is a serious hint to buy it for myself, only I don't weld anymore! thanks for all you do Ollie, you are a master of understatement when it comes to the work you do. Those welds with the coated wire looked excellent (- the porosity) but that is not going to be under stupid stresses, under normal conditions hopefully. And if shows you get what you pay for with that wire. best wishes as always .

[@joeheck146]

Great Sunday morning video ollie. A few different items and different views how to as always . Hmm a stuck bolt .. never fun as many say you're only a half turn away from a 5 minute job to a pain in the rear job .. love the overlaid title.. you asked nicely ..😂 at least it didn't get to the liquid stage having to resort to burning out with the torch .. thanks again for the insight into your week ..😊

[@tetedur377]

At the first Ford dealership (cars and pickups) I worked at as a mechanic, we referred to the torch as the "Ford wrench" for good reason.

[@liambrophy7574]

Man basket super job

[@morcL18]

Great work as usual Ollie, I run into the same issues often when customers think their being helpful by bringing in their own material that is the size of the finished part not thinking that with plasma it’s easier to start with something larger rather then waste time lining up edges and that sort.

[@simontravis7452]

Hope you had a great time down our neck of the woods, at least you had the weather for it, i saw a few traction engines about on Thursday plus a steam lorry very cool, my late dad said how they were about all the time when he was a lad, i missed out on the sign, maybe next time 🙂

[@w270rab]

I worked on a job at Port Adelaide building grain silos some years ago & every joint was welded with Lincoln Inner-shield wire. 211 for the tank bodies & roofs & 232 for the heavy structural, all welds were logged & visually inspected, some mag particled & the heavy structural welds were ultra-sound tested, (AS1554 part 1). The site was very wind-swept which had no effect on the weld quality, the wire is very voltage sensitive so a clean earth point & tight connections were essential, also we were running long welding leads to the LN25 wire feeders were were using which meant jacking up the voltage to compensate, always use 25mm+ electrical stick-out for best results but when it’s dialled in right it goes great & fast, it’s a good product, did n’t realise it was so expensive.

[@ToxicMrSmith]

I worked at Viterra in port Adelaide, best job I ever had.

[@BrucePierson]

These gas-less MIG welders are very handy. I have two of them, a small one I started with which has a maximum capacity of welding 1.2mm plate and a 100A one that I use now, which can weld 4mm plate. I've done a fair amount of MIG welding over time and I have never used anything other than a gas-less MIG. The main disadvantages are the fumes and the slag, but good ventilation in the workshop is essential and they are good for outdoor welding when there;s a breeze. I use bits of plywood to protect the concrete in my workshop and on the driveway.

Have you checked that the gibs are taking up the table wear correctly. A sign that they are not is that when you lock the table in a particular axis prior to machining, the DRO value may change significantly. Thanks for the vids.

It’s too late now, but cutting the weld on the bracket that goes to that bolt and weld the new piece on, would have been easier. I have done it on a few things, if I think a bolt is going to snap. Just makes life little easier, plus saves time.

Noticed that too, mostly on that last hole and that's probably where the chatter came from ? As you say, check gib condition and table clamps.

Pretty typical of exhaust bolts to break like that. This one was easy to fix with good access. The worst one is a car manifold where you have no access. I put copper coat or never seize on the bolt to hopefully prevent this happening next time.
