Here's a couple machining projects in the machine shop. The engine block is a Continental flathead four cylinder out of a Lincoln welder. We removed the old valve guides, pressed in some new valve guides, machined the guides to size for the valve stems, and then cut the valve seats on the seat-and-guide [...]
These are a couple of before & after pics of a copper & brass grinder radiator that came in with some fan damage. Our customer agreed to have us install a new core. We recored the radiator with a new high-efficiency core. It's not in this post but we gave it a new [...]
Here's some pics of various machining projects we're working on in the machine shop. The 1st pic is of some deck dowels we had to machine for an old 1957 Cadillac 365 engine. The 2nd pic is of some new pistons for an older Cadillac 390 engine. The 3rd pic is a 3 [...]
Here's some bolt-on crankhole radiators for some garbage trucks. These radiators have a hole in the core for a PTO (power take-off) to go through them which is basically a driveline that goes through the radiator and connects to a hydraulic pump on the front bumper. The PTO powers/turns the hydraulic pump. Some [...]
Here's some miscellaneous machining jobs we have in the machine shop. The green cylinder head is a Cummins M11 that is here for a valve job & surface. The other cylinder head is a 12 valve 5.9 Cummins but it is cracked so it's going to need to be furnace welded. The aluminum [...]
Here's some pics of some Komatsu and Caterpillar mining haul truck radiators we're doing some rebuilds to. The larger radiator is a Komatsu 830E Mesabi radiator and the smaller one is a Caterpillar 793C folded core radiator. The steel part being machined on our millling machine is a new bump stop pad for [...]
This is a smaller Kubota compact diesel engine cylinder head. This particular cylinder head is out of a Bobcat skidsteer. The engine was evidently severely overheated which caused the cylinder head to crack. We haven't seen the radiator yet but it's more than likely extremely plugged/dirty and/or leaking which is what caused the [...]
Here's some pics of a delivery to one of our mining customers. Laying down sideways is an aluminum radiator and aftercooler for a Caterpillar 6060FS shovel. The yellow radiator is for a Caterpillar 793D haul truck. If you are in need of a radiator or cooler cleaning, rebuild, overhaul, recore, or replacement please [...]
This is a wheel and shaft assembly for an airplane or trailer tug. The tug pulls or moves an airplane or trailer around. The shaft that the wheel rides on broke so we were asked to machine a new shaft with a keyway in it. For all your custom machine work needs please [...]
This is a bolt-on radiator out of an 8460 American crane. This radiator cools the lower engine of the crane. The original core was in pretty bad shape so it was decided to recore the radiator with a heavy duty copper and brass high efficiency core. The tanks and side brackets were thermal [...]
