Wheel and axle hsg from JD Waterloo hit and miss engine cart. Engines were installed on a cart, these parts are off the cart.Pics show cracks, then gouged for brazing, parts brazed, ground, textured. One pic has tools used to grind and texture.600 degree pre/postheat, OA braze with low fuming bronze.Repairing stuff about 80 or 90 years old...........Priceless. Well there was a price, and the customer didn't want to spring for spray weldPeter Attached Images

Reply:The finished job is absolutely amazing right down to the texturing. Few people would take it that far. Sandblast and a little paint and it never happened. Great job.

Reply:Nice job Castweld. Thanks for posting it up.I don't know why some repairman are so adverse to the brazing of cast; it's really one of the best MOs for cast repair. High strength, and greatly reduces the risk of further cracking during repair.Good Luck

Reply:Good job on our old 6V71 engines all the ears that broke off the exhaust manifolds were done like that.
Reply:Most of my posts are only one part of someone's project. Owner of the above repairs dropped by my shop and gave me a pic of finished project. He did complete restoration, I only did repairs in broken parts. Thats a lot of iron for 6 horsepower!Peter Attached Images
Reply:Outstanding castweld! That is pretty good looking iron also, it looks like you didn't need much flux at all. Thanks for posting,Edit; forgot about the needle scaler, looks very good, I'll set mine at about 40psi and just let it play a bit when it needs it.MattLast edited by Matt_Maguire; 07-06-2010 at 11:02 PM.

Reply:That is a clean repair right there, you sir do good work! I myself am tackling a cast manifold project and I hope the results look as clean as that

Reply:Great work Peter. I see a needle scaler, grinder, and two die grinders with carbide tips(hard to see behind the work). Out of curiosity could you explain a little about how you preped for this repair? I've never done any brazing and don't even have an torch setup but interested in how you preped for that and particularaly what you used each tool for? Thanks, Scott

Reply:Thanks Peter, I was interested in what the needle scaler was for. Just shows your attention to details to go that far, great job. I bought an inline(straight) needle scaler a couple years ago for a good price used and have never used it, guess I've never found a need for one or just don't know when I could use it.Thanks for the explination and once agian looks nice.We had a welder at a mill I worked at that had been doing welding for 40 something years and he would braze parts of our machines that broke that were cast. He didn't make them look prett, never cleaned them up afterwords and just left the brazing how it was. But they held and were always straight, some of them were 1" to 1 1/2" thick peices. People would crank on one side to make an adjustment instead of cranking both sides at the same time and then they would go snap.

Reply:Castweld;Beautiful job. My question is when you do the pre and post heat, may a gas barbaque grill be used?
