Davis,
Sounds like you want to do what I am basically
doing now. Shop is both automotive machine and
regular machine shop. I do truck , tractor , and
industrial engines mostly, also car engine if
someone really gets me in a corner. Used to do
quote a lot of equipment repair , but the body
says forget it now . Machine shop is the typical
old worn out lathes and mills including a Lucas
3 inch horizontal boring mill. I do a lot of
bearing bore repair (some metal spray and some
bore and bush ) shaft repair metal spray and spray
weld , the usual keyways inside and out. I have
done oxy/acet cast iron welding for many years but
that seems to be one of the things that few others
are willing to do. About 1/3 to 1/2 of my work
comes from other shops , things they can't or
won't do . Wet liner engines erode where the
orings seal , I make and install repair sleeves
for some engines , just did a 188 case block .
also do repair and line bore on loader arms where
the bucket pivots .
Seems like if it's odd or weird it shows up here.
