Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

We bought it like this, luckily it was cheap

 

Thats good, glad it wasn't discovered while active use. Brings new meaning to the saying "oh shit" because you never know where and when lol

 

Funny, I don't find mammary glands on a boar hog to be usless.

 

Nothing you can’t make!! You can do it

 

Garage guy took one of our work vehicles because someone told him the check engine light was on. "Critters probably chewed on something" he says.

I'm thinking that might not be it...

 

That's a long driveshaft!

 

Thats what she said

 

Best guess, the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

 

Lunch time. I think my wife is trying to fatten me up for slaughter.

 

Ringo's anti chatter device

 

Like I said, Yamaha is PROUD of their parts!
I did use eBay calipers on the Arctic cat. I think they were $60 each.

 

Once it starts, it's hard to stop but I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

 

I'll have to slow the RPM down and switch up to sharper insert. It cut surprisingly well the other day I was curious about that pin part with corrosion on it. It it threaded or anything? Sometimes thinking outside the box, metric drill bit shank.

 

I made this boring bar many years ago when I ran the lathe. I drilled it out and put sand in it and plugged it. It didn’t help with chatter at all.

 

I’m going to try and weld that pin and turn it down. If that doesn’t work I’ll make a new one.

 

Looks a little tricky welding but hopefully it won't distort terribly bad. At least you have the know how to start from scratch if need be. I might be more tempted to JB quick weld and polish it up. I think theres several home made boring bars throughout the shop here. I remember years ago Kennametal had a boring bar with something inside like washers or something to combat chatter. Patented as Kenertia something.

 

You have got to be kidding me

The rebuild kit was this much. I'm not messing with it anymore, the parking brake fixture is a mess. Ordered

$20 M MATI Rear Brake Caliper for Yamaha Banshee 350 YFZ350 Warrior 350 YFM350X Wolverine 350 YFM350FX Raptor 660R YFM660R with Parking Brake 1UY-2580W-01-00

That’s what I’d have done. Cheaper than messing with it for half a day.

 

Good Move knowing what can be bought can save lots of time.

The thing with Snow we never know some winters can be good lots of snow plow repairs other years salt spreaders need some work.

It must be a Law of the Universe you have an easy 6 months to fix your plows the phone calls start 8 hours before it snows or an hour after it starts

 

Funny How the word Shortly has such a wide range of time.

When the Nurse says the Doctor will be with you shortly with my Doctor She can take 20 to 30 minutes to come in.

Yet when the Boss says I am leaving work Shortly I am not sure time can be measured in a small enough figure
