Today's stupid request, weld rust.....

[sg66]

The only thing that stopped the wheel going through the floor was the floor and the timber.

Nothing fancy just get it to move again but it does weigh 5500kg ISH

I'm getting too old for this crawling round malarkey and chasing holes with a stick is not fun.

Got off to a great start, crappy little buzz box went off, (not mine) took plug apart and turned out the tinfoil fuse had blown

Did you not try rusty rods for rusty steel?

At least you have a hard flat surface to jack/lay on, better than gravel/pea stone or hardcore....

and use a 1/4" (6mm) HT bolt for the fuse......................

PS:- Surprised you didn't use a bit of 7 x 2 and a conduit clip.....

Fine or course thread ?

Fine or course thread ?

Doesn't matter.....

Use the smooth shank part, the thread pitch causes hot spots, cut off the threaded section.. Oh and the hex head....

To save confusion with the fuse, I simply removed all traces of tinfoil and replaced it with a 13amp fuse and turned the box down to a point where it wasn't going to blow, I then just had the thermal cutout to contend with, it was an old Clark box with no fan and a duty cycle if about 5%, god it was annoying

Have you given a quote for replacing the entire chassis ?

Have you given a quote for replacing the entire chassis ?

No and have no intention of doing so, I've done that once about 40yr ago, the other side is in almost the same condition but keeping fingers crossed I never see it again

 

[frank horton]

thought twisted fence wire was the fix all.......

No, a mig tip, copper for good conductivity. The right size ……. Allegedly
