Nope, sent er and torqued to spec.

 

440 Stainless has a high carbon content We've made some parts out of it before that had to be finished after heat treat.

"SS 440A, 440B and 440C stainless steel are AISI and ASTM standard high carbon high chromium martensitic stainless steel, SS440 has high strength, good hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high temperature dimensional stability."

 

I admit, I snorted after I read that

 

I had a mechanic share a tip with me years ago, a tip that he learned when auto mechanic. Said he was always fighting to get rusty crusty suspension parts off and the old-timer also working there never seem to have a problem so he asked him. He said the trick was to give it a couple of uga-duga in the tighty direction first. I've found success with this method on occasion.
I think putting the fire to it is also very productive

 

I've tried that before. Yea, it always results in a snapped off bolt for me.



"Well shit, guess it ain't tight anymore..."

 

Especially exhaust bolts, whole stud breaks off

 

Oh those always require the smoke wrench no matter what around here

 

Boss man said keep trying, you’ll figure out the welding part

 

But arr they still round?

 

Surely not

 

We had a nice little thunder shower roll through a few moments ago. Pretty much a perfect excuse for a nap

 

Sweet!! WHO would run turf tires in a scrapyard?

 

Is there a circumstance that isn't a perfect excuse for a nap??????

Too hot. Nap 'til it cools down.

Too cold. Nap 'til it warms up.

Too wet. Nap 'til it dries off.

Too dry. Nap 'til it rains...

 

Cut new keyway, don’t worry about worn shaft. Check.

 

Corn and beans are finished to dry when it needed rain.

From the fields I have seen out and about. I hope I just saw a really dry area.

 

As long as the end user uses the new key way and not the old one!!

Might be somewhat loose.

 

Par for the course only do maintenance when it really needs attention !

I am guilty as well .

 

Remember the option is always open!

Somethings really need to come home!!
