Here’s some pics of some hydraulic press work we did on a set of trailer brake drum hubs. The old wheel studs had to be pressed out as the threads on some of the studs were stripped out & damaged. A new set of longer studs was sourced & we pressed them in place on [...]

Here’s some pics of an old cast iron water pump off of a Hercules gasoline engine. We receive a good amount of antique & vintage water pumps for repair & complete rebuilding. The older Hercules water pumps are the ones we see the most of. We completely disassemble these water pumps so we can blast [...]

Here’s some pics of a set of AFR aluminum cylinder heads for a blown small block Chevy that we freshened up. The heads are outfitted with high grade Ferrea intake & exhaust valves for high boost pressures. They're also outfitted with some heavy duty dual valve springs for a healthy roller camshaft. We machined their [...]

Here’s some pics of some front end parts we have in for repair & rebuilding for a Caterpillar 16M Grader axle. In these pics we are assembling the lean arms & spindle housings with new bearings, races, bushings & seals. After they're assembled we will install them into the axle beam assembly. 5435 Desert Point [...]

Here’s some pics of a Caterpillar 16G grader spindle housing we're in the process of repairing & rebuilding. The upper & lower counterbore surfaces are worn & damaged from severe metal-to-metal contact with the lean arms. We start with machining the worn surfaces & then building them up with welding filler material to match the [...]

Here’s some pics of a Mopar crankshaft & harmonic balancer for a supercharged engine. In order to strengthen the balancer on the snout of the crankshaft for the extra pressure from driving the blower an extra keyway & woodruff key are needed. To do this we machine a slot in the snout of the crank [...]

Here’s some pics of some custom parts machining we did. We started with some solid rounds of plastic delrin material. We first cut the solid rounds into smaller pieces close to the dimensions of the final part. We then chucked each piece up in the lathe & machined them to match the dimensions on the [...]

Here's some pics of an old cast iron water pump that came in for repairing & rebuilding. It's off of an older forklift that is powered by a four cylinder Continental gasoline engine. The housing was corroded away internally along with the shaft & impeller. We had to get creative with the repair to the [...]

Here’s some pics of a custom water pump pulley we machined out of a solid round piece of aluminum. The larger pulley was shipped to us to use as a pattern for machining the smaller diameter pulley. We made the new water pump pulley as small as possible in order to clear the housing of [...]
