Stumbled upon an old school text!

Found this manual while surfing, I think castweld is going to love it!http://www.knucklebusterinc.com/down...ing_Manual.pdfMatt
Reply:MattI've read many old welding publications, but not this one. Skimmed through the cast iron section-- and yes thats information thats still in use! Tractapac (Simon) could use this to repair his waterpump problem.ThanksPeterEquipment:2  old paws2  eyes (that don't look so good)1  bad back
Reply:Matt - nice find, that one's a keeper!"One of the things we have to be thankful for is that we don't get as much government as we pay for." (Charles Kettering)Mitch 180 (NZ)Lincoln SAM-400-220 + ?-400 Fordson Major + 2 x Tractapac Humber 80 + Procut 40 PlasmaMiller Spectrum 375
Reply:Very cool.Thank you!
Reply:Good One! Thanks for the post.Now that's what should have been required reading in school; not Farm Animal and that other mush. We didn't need to read about agendas in no stinkin'  barnyard parable to recognize what cooks.Although there were a few important things they could've just plain laid on the line for us, the way this book does. For example, how to properly de-carbon an engine using an oxy-acetylene torch through the spark plug hole, without melting the piston.   Good LuckLast edited by denrep; 09-09-2010 at 01:15 AM.

Reply:Here's a classic. So little has changed in terms of OA equipment.Some impressive casting repair:http://www.archive.org/details/autom...ldin00dunhrichRailroads were the equivalent of airlines back then, and both the rolling stock and support equipment were highly sophisticated. Before electric handheld power tools were common, pneumatic motors were often used. Some amazing gas welding repaired boilers, castings...http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...iatype%3AtextsLast edited by farmall; 01-21-2011 at 08:54 PM.

Reply:I've been downloading standard pdfs from there for years. If for some reason you run into one that is hosted by Google.http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/google-books-downloader/I suggest the Firefox Greasemonkey script. Free viewers for the other formats are also available.Last edited by farmall; 01-21-2011 at 10:08 PM.

Reply:Hey farmall, thanks for the tips on http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/google-books-downloader/for how to download Google books.Having read all that... Yikes!The problem is that each of the 5 or so ways listed to do it requires a complex set up process of installing several programs - before you can begin to download any google-book.Some like Greasemonkey script (rated the best) even require changing your browser to firefox.Sorry, I just find it all too darn demanding... especially compared to just clicking on the pdf files I want.Rick V 1 Airco Heliwelder 3A/DDR3 CTC 70/90 amp Stick/Tig Inverters in Parallel1 Lincoln MIG PAK 151 Oxy-Acet
Reply:MOST of the files are downloadable as straight pdfs. Once more, >>>WHICH ONE>>WHICH ONE<<< did you have trouble with?BTW, Firefox is incredibly usefull and doesn't mean getting rid of IE. It has addons available for free to print to pdf, block adverts, block popups?Firefox also has a free EPUBReader extension that allows reading EPUB formats online or from local files:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...on/epubreader/Firefox is amazingly capable, there is no downside to trying it. Here's a Portable version you can run from its own folder on USB key or locally. To backup, copy the whole folder, bookmarks, extensions, preferences all preserved.http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portableYou may find different books display better in different formats, so experiment!----------------------------------------------------------Oxy-Acetylene Welding and Cutting Downloads as an HTML file only, so save as HTML and open with any browser.
