    Around here they refer to that as an enamel overhaul. Repainting something shouldnt be looked down upon.

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Is there a timing mark on that gear? If so the gear would need to be installed to the side you can see that. If not, Id think your original video from disassembly would be correct.

    Your comprehension skills off today? Get the area full of grease. As full as possible, then drive a snug fitting shaft or dowel in.

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Any marine shop would have the tool to remove that bearing. Theyre a slide hammer with legs that hook the bearing. Pretty much a needed tool to replace the bearings in the front of a lower unit.

    Pin clearance?

    The list price of each is pretty close. The selling price is the difference of buying from the dealer or from ebay,. As far as the tolerance and other specs, I really don’t know, but would assume theyre within 1 or 2 thousandths. I doubt my dealer could order any certain exact diameter either...

    Pin clearance?

    Actually its not used every day. We bought this long ago to do some development work on our own land and for our own use only. Its paid for itself in that regard. So time isnt of the esscense here, but I do know what you were thinking and if it was used every day you would have a valid point.

    Pin clearance?

    I havnt bought the new pins yet but do have the new bushings. The correct pins would be 1.965” diameter @ $209 ea plus tax and shipping. I can get pins that are 1.961” diameter @ $82 ea plus tax and shipping included. Both are OEM JD pins. Thats why Im asking what the consequences of saving...

    Pin clearance?

    Now that makes sense to me. Thank you I apologize to Dan and Po boy for my poor wording in the original statement. I do need to replace the bushings but the pins need replacing also due to the fact they will be ruined getting them out.

    Pin clearance?

    Im not sure how you do things where youre from, but here the pins need to come out to replace the bushings, and they arent coming out without torching them out. Lol, saying 2” pin was in relation to the .004 clearance.

    Pin clearance?

    Like you said, Its got play here and there, especially in the chains and pads. The 6 way blade pivot points have been pretty decent, but they do get a beating and eventually that adds up. Im leaning towards saving the money, but not if its going to just cause a premature failure. None of the...

    Pin clearance?

    They get greased daily, but the machine doesnt get babied. It pushes a lot of stumps and levels rocky ground. Will the .004 take out bushings a lot faster or wear out the frame holes? I cant really see the frame holes being an issue, as like I said, we cant even push the old pins out. Theres...

    Pin clearance?

    I need to replace a couple bushings on a dozer. The originals are 1.965” diameter and need to be torched out as they will not come with 20 tons of pressure. Now I can get new replacements for $480/pr at the same specs, or can get some that are quite close but the diameter is 1.961 for $185/pr...

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Joe, its not high heat that cracked your block. Its how you induced the crack in the way you left the grooves or cuts from your grinding wheel. Those are exactly like a crack and will extend by heat which causes expansion. Now try another skillet and drill a round hole in it. Heat that all you...

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Be careful with the cutting discs not to leave a cut extending into the good area. It might act like a crack and keep moving as you heat it to braze.

    ~some~ torches can cut thru 1” steel. Yours certainly couldn’t. Theres a range of tip sizes depending on the torch you have. Those charts can be found online. The same goes for your welding tips. The thicker the work generally bigger tips are needed.
