  • @CaryGuyer
    @CaryGuyer Před 6 měsíci +2

    On your digger bolt problem. After installing the shields, weld the bolt heads and then cut a piece of 1/4 inch 2x5 inch plate and weld over the top of the bolts as a wear plate. That will provide you a longer use out of the shields, given, you may need to periodically replace the 1/4 inch wear plates but you will get more use out of them.

    We use to put a battery cable (copper) in the welder and weld the race area of the spindle all around in there and the copper weld spots would tighten the race right up. You would actually have to beat the race back in as if new.

    I’m a machinist at a factory that pings things all the time to get press and uses lock tight quite often so I don’t think you shortcut anything with the hub. I also would just try some standard grade 8 bolts on those cover boards and just see how long they last. And maybe like one guy in the comments said to hard surface weld below to deflect dirt.
