My new boiler has been delivered, so I took off the old one. But as it was now free and empty of the sanitary water (separate internal reservoir for the hot water) I thought why not flip it on its back and make an other try at welding it. I was ashamed by the previous result. I still have some...

I came to the conclusion that it's some kind of magical stuff and I'm clearly no wizard at all. On my boiler, I've lost my time. My confidence too. Maybe if I bolt it off and put it on its back to weld horizontally, I may be able to get some results, but vertically seems a forbidden territory...

I'm completely amazed that you can weld on that. My boiler is in a way better shape than this one and I failed miserably my welding attempts.

Something like that :

I found that preheating does help to solve my crappy welds issue. What a discovery ! Usually the beginning of my welds looks like shit, but that becomes better when the pieces are hot from the first weld. Beside, for the broken hitch... the design of the added part could be responsible for the...

Indeed, not much free room in the engine bay when all the stuff is back in place.

Adding a removal skidplate (for servicing the hydro motors) between the stock one and under the motor mount will prevent any rock to catch the vertical plates. Looking theirs beated and rolled over edges, that's the main point to generate the torsion and fatigue's mount. Edit: It comes from the...

Aging eyes are a pita for welding, as for almost all the other tasks. The glass are mandatory for me now. But they gives a second reflect with the back light (one in the hood is already bad enough). They have to be kept very close to the face or else they don't match with the hood's window...

There's a lot of friction metal / metal during use with this sort of colar, between the links by articulating and around by the sliding. The coating just wears off down to the bare steel. Good news, the rust does the same, just use the collar and it will clean itself. The rusty stain on my dog's...

It would be seriously out of level ! I think he made the log splitter attachement for the excavator. Fresh grinding on the beam and fresh welds for the ears. He probably converted an old trailer splitter.

It's a brutal environment for a bearing and its seals.

There's just one bearing to hold the wheel?

It"s so nice that I can't understand the skiders don't use something like that to pull the logs out of the forests, It would be much more fuel efficient by a long shot.

5 coats of paint and it will get all scratched first use. Too bad. At least, I reckon that Kyle's painting is the most resistant you can find :D

They help the axle to hold the load too, less leverage "in air" between the wheels and the frame. Even if the square tube may be strong enough, I find this design a bit weird with soo much free hang. Basicaly that puts the load in the middle of the axle. I have the same feeling with the rear...

If they put the same caliber of wire as the other, that means it carries the same amount of current. Or at least it could, in case it is a grounding for electrical defect. But if I followed correctly (not sure), these fat wires coming out of the front panel are for the in and out for the actual...

The frame has been cut off a bit after the anchors of the leaf springs, if I understand it correctly. So, the C channel ending the frame is most likely gone and nothing sturdy left transversally to bold something on.

I'm a fan of this guy too. He made known me the care and the precision needed to make a functional part. He's a good explainer too. There are other youtube guys making such an amazing work, but this one is my favorite.
