Putting a ring gear on a 65 Massey. Let's see how this works to heat it up!

I take it that your wife's not at home. lol.

That won't get it hot enough.

rrlund · Feb 28, 2014

All he'd have to do is put the rest of the flywheel outside around here today. The ring gear would go on at room temperature. lol

If it gets hot enough for spit to sizzle on it then it should go on fine.

I use the BBQ.....trying to tell the accountant the BBQ is a business expense LOL

It will if you can get oven to 450 -- 500 degrees as that is how I heat ring gears up for my Johndeere 60. Ring drops right on. Only smells up the house for a little while.

Yes it will i use an old elec stove in the shop for this kind of thing all the time

Very true. We had -25 here this morning in Kalkaska.

Brendon Warren · Feb 28, 2014

Well that didn't work really well. Maybe I should've put it down in the broiler! Or maybe I didn't cook it long enough. I broke down and put the oxy/acet to it. I did manage to set off the smoke detectors! I would've tried the barbeque but it was 11 below here this morning and it's stuck in a snowbank.

Did ya know a dishwasher makes an excellent parts washer? Worked great til she caught me at it.

Your tryen to be to fancy . I use to just set them on the welding table and take the torch to them and heat them to around 450-500 degrees and have the flywheel setting real close by and grab them with the welding gloves and set them on and walk away . If i tried that here the War Dept would make me a steer while i slept.

Reminds me when by brother and I were teenagers and Mom and Dad went away for a week and left us boys to fend for ourselves. We were building up a Chevy 6 cylinder engine and had it on the living room carpet. (on top of newspapers.) We put the pistons and rods in the stove and wrist pins in the freezer. Worked like a charm.

Dishwasher works great for washing all the old sweaty, stained ball caps also. If you can get away with it.

You should see the job the dishwasher does on spoked hub caps. Works great!, till you forget to remove them before the rest of the family returns home.
