Reply:Man that's a lot of grease.  Does it all burn up on you when you're repairing, or is it far enough away that the steel it's on does not get hot?  I just replaced the pancake filters I wear under my hood after smoking grease from deep inside hot rolled square tube (outside ground, sanded bare) turned them gray.

Reply:Notice the small shims behind the ring.The back one broke free and fell out ,allowing some flex which started the crack and lead to the break and piece coming out.The machine was dissaembled and we pulled the the boom forward off the rollers  to gain access.QUOTE=92dlxman;5835071]GEEZ! so where/ why did the piece thats missing leave?[/QUOTE]Last edited by admswelding; 05-06-2015 at 04:19 AM.
