Lawn roller

admin

This is a 2 roller powered lawn roller.  The shaft on the rear was "worn out".  The customer wanted me to weld it.  I took it apart and found a 2 (almost 3) piece shaft.  I ordered a length of 1" hot rolled round stock.  Cut off 43" to replace the old one.  I cut up some 3/8" X 4" flat stock and cut 4"x 4" pieces.  Drilled 1" holes in the center and welded them to the drum.1/8" 7018, 140 amps, Invertec V155-S!I charged the customer 2 hours and for the 1" round stock.  When I told him how much, he said "is that all?"  DavidLast edited by David R; 06-03-2008 at 08:07 PM.Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
