frying pan....bearings

DENNIS MIN · Mar 5, 2018

All,

I tried to sneak one by on the misses..she caught me red-handed warming up a bearing using her cast skillet, some oil, and the cooktop.

Looks like some roses are in her future. Oh, the bearing slid right on, though.

Just a "heads up"... for the cost of very few roses you can by a Fry Daddy at Wally World, and keep it in the shop for such use.

I picked up a crock pot at St. Vinny's.

I haven't been brave enough to try that yet. I learned years ago you never ps off a redhead! LOL. Last summer I had my eye on a freebie crockpot but she beat me to it. On the bright side, that freebie crockpot has put out some mighty good stews.

I been caught using the oven to warm my leather boots to apply snow seal....Now I do it when I know she is gone for the day and I can air the place out good!

I have never had your problem.

#1 it was my house before it was hers also.
#2 she knew she was going to be around a grease monkey and knew what would happen.

I have had ring gears In the oven and flywheels in the freezer many times and she know it is going to happen again when ever I need to do something like that

yes but the side effects to bringing roses are MUCH better than buying a fry pan

$20 or so will buy an electric hotplate. Another $10 or less will buy a 6" castiron skillet at the farm store. Then you will have your own "bearing warmer" that you can use anytime and for anything.

Unless you heat a bearing in the p an first, then the flowers are a neutralizer at best.

LOL Baked a few pair of boots using the same method.

As a bonus, after you're done with the bearings, you can drop in a handful of frozen steak fries and make yourself a tasty snack. That way you didn't spend all that electricity just to do one little bearing.

Waste not want not.

I ran a carburetor through the dish washer once. not a great idea. it took several cycles to get the smell out.

Super H Mike · Mar 5, 2018

I have been using an electric fry pan for years that I bought at a yard sale for $2 . No angry wife that way!

I feel your pain. I tried a pair of used pistons from the JD 70 diesel in the dishwasher. The "white" interior gradually lightened up but best always had a hint of grey.

I use an old Crowleys Cottage cheese can. I hang it with a wire handle, use synthetic oil and heat the bottom with a propane torch. I use a pair of water pump pliers to lift the bearing out and onto the shaft.

Well Old, she knows that she can rely on you to shoot the mice too.

PJH · Mar 5, 2018

My motto is "Never anger the cook!"

I have my own cast iron pot, my own used peanut oil and my own propane burner.

Good luck with the roses. She'll laugh about it --- someday.

Used to suspend special angular contact radial ball class 7 bearings for Nichols Research ceramic slip 22,000 RPM atomizer shaft in a coffee can and heat DTE light oil to 200-220 degrees with a propane torch....They would slip right on and tighten in less than 10 seconds.

old · Mar 6, 2018

No I do not shoot the mice that is what the cats are for. Possums well I have a dog trained to catch them and hold them till I can grab a gun and shot them . Raccoons I have 2 dogs that make short work of them

MARK ROBKE · Mar 6, 2018

I heated a gear this past winter by dangling it in front of the salamander heater.I checked it with an infra red thermometer,and I think I remember it reading @ 400* . The bearing slid on so easy,and it was so easy to heat up-less than a minute. New best way for me ! Mark.
