Nice job chips! I have the bush mechanics 20 dollar version. (that full threaded bolt is pricey) I have never busted any newer hubs and had a few stubborn ones. I just give it the onions.

blue chips...nice job!!! lynnmor...i have found that buying high quality tools always saves time and money in the long run. example: i bought a cheapo harbor freight ball joint press kit. i actually bent and distorted the 'C' clamp. one day i saw the snap-on truck. the driver said the master ball joint press kit was going on sale in two weeks. the snap-on kit was about 11-12 times as much as the HF kit. worth every penny. far superior! plus, when i'm trying to fix a tractor/car/truck i do not want to have to fix my tools first.

I had a leaking shut off valve on my 14-8 no name. I picked out the old O ring/paking, then took the valve stem to the hardware and found an O ring that would fit on the valve stem. Put the nut on the stem and rolled the O ring over the threads then put the valve back together. That was about 5 years ago. Still holding.

Thanks Guys. I took advantage of this warm 56* day to get some outside work done. Cleaned the wood stove and the chimney. Then spread the yard lime. I gave the 520H an hour of much needed exercise until it got too hot in the cab. Then finished with the 312H. Then enjoyed a couple of Mrs. Ks crab cakes and a slice of her apple pie. Feeling blessed to be here with my Kennell Family and my Wheel Horse Family.

Cut off a bit of your leather shoe string on your hunting boots. They do make packing material, hopefully it is still available in the plumbing section of your favorite hardware store.

2025 Deer and Fish Tails

Our walk tonight... the girls know how to read now... -
You all have some mighty fine equipment out there. The problem is you all are too far away for me to drop in just before supper! While I'm new to pellet smokers, I've had the smoker below since 1992. It was a Brinkman smoker that we took to the Philippines and when it rusted out I had it remade in stainless steel. The lid is original. I can use charcoal, wood or electric. In the first picture the red part is electric and the section below is where i put the smoke generator. It does a really good job of maintaining 225 degrees In the second picture we are using it as a heating stove burning firewood inside. The third picture shows the smoker over a bed of coals baking turnovers. I've made a blower that I used to bake bread. In the Philippines the charcoal was actually coconut hulls. With a blower below the smoker, I could maintain the 350 degrees. We hired sisters, one was the cook, the other cleaned. Luz, the cook, would say on a Saturday morning "Sir, let's bake bread today." So I'd fire up the smoker, bake a couple loaves (We made a few bricks in the beginning.) then throw on a slab of pork ribs. Good memories. And, homemade bread with a little touch of smoke is awful hard to beat. This is lightweight, fairly compact and goes every time I go camping. I've got a Kamado grill, the pellet smoker and this ugly old thing and it's still my favorite.

Gonna need video...

I do have a CNC mill, the cost of quality steel is the major obstacle. I too have a newer version partially designed, it will have features to solve a number of pulling problems besides just a hub puller. Perhaps that might make the cost more palatable but the cost would be even higher since the machining will take longer and small accessory parts would need to be supplied..

Happy birthday Ed!

It does get to be a problem when you can't see or hear. I usually try to stop at around 3/4 full. If I try to stop at full I usually run it over. Getting old is a real _____, an I've al ready got there. -----

That's where I started needing glasses - my arms weren't long enough to read a book anymore. Pretty sure I'm going to still need readers once everything heals up. Been looking at 1/2 lens reading glasses on the interweb today.

My last flight physical (many moons ago) showed my vision at 20/12. I was very proud of that exam. 35 years later during an eye exam, I bragged about that old 20/12 result. The eye doctor informed me that I still had 20/12 vision, but no less than 10 feet from my face! Congrats on the surgery @8ntruck. My mother also had that procedure several years ago, and she was also amazed at the difference afterward as well.

That is very nice.

855 Build

Hey when you're out there find me a Senior... enough with @Pullstart gettin all the Michigan ones... -
Thank ya sir!

I think the only way to make anything like a profit on something like this would be to crank them out with something like a CNC laser or plasma cutter and CNC lathe/mill, and you'd have to sell a lot of them to get the unit price down. I like your idea of a removeable handle to prevent the puller from rotating when turning the puller bolt (or if you need to rotate the axle or tighten something else). On mine, I left most of the big hex nut exposed so that you could put a box-end wrench on it while turning the puller bolt with another wrench.
-
Yes, not a lot of room there!
-
I made a similar one that I considered marketing but the material cost and hours were high and I doubt that it would sell for the price I would need.
-
I'll look into possible options. I think the main thing is to prevent the end of the bolt from getting mashed and to prevent damage to the hub from the twisting bolt. A roller-type thrust bearing would reduce effort, but it would have to be a pretty small bearing. Maybe a sintered bronze oil-impregnated washer between the end of the bolt and an inserted bolt head...or something like that.
