The 'banker' is the wife, right? Some fellers that are married to their bankers don't usually have all the fun nor funds they wants...

Dang Darrel, everybody is trying. Do you have a tandem farm truck of some kind? You can legally haul it on the back of one like that, and not be over weight. Also a lot of the states don't charge any reciprocity if you have farm tags hauling your own machinery. But man, that would be a long ways. Guess it's a moot point now, because it's now sold.

Wow, that one is a dandy. Only trouble is, freight would be more than the machine. And if I had ole Shameless walk it out here, there wouldn't be much left of the under carriage by the time he got here with it. And that steering only one direction could be a problem for him. Darrel

D2 tool steel is too expensive to use for track pins. 4140 or 1045 carburized to rockwell C 59 to 65 will give over 1000 hours of service. I have used 1040 TGP (Turned Ground and Polished) without any heat treatment in my HD5G with satisfactory results. You will need 1.375 x 6.900 for your master pin. Search turned ground and polished on eBay. You will find some suppliers will even cut it to length. Use "ask a question" if you don't find exactly what you want.

Darrel if you decide to make a pin give me a call and I'll walk you thru. how to harden and temper it. Get a D2 tool steel bar. Short piece of course. Some others might want one, so cost could be cut by making more than one. We also have an outlet for this kind of steel. A 20# hammer really works well to knock pins out. I have one but don't expect me to operate it.

The HD5G is going back onto the back burner again, for now. The whole final drive needs new bearings on the left side. And if I go through the trouble of doing that, I am going to fix many other things as well, and right now it is just not in the cards, time wise or financially. Pray for good crops and good prices for this growing season, and maybe next fall I'll be back onto it. Darrel

I ran the track off of my HD5 once, at that time I didn't know about any master pin. we suspended the HD5 in mid air, and with 3 guys with different types bars and muscles, we had it back on in about 30 minutes. the previous owner told me not to fill the bucket and turn to the left while backing up or it would run the track off! guess what I forgot, until it happened! lol I then had a new adjustment screw made for that side and never had that problem again!

we used to use a five gallon bucket with about 3 inches of propane in it to chill shafts and master pins so they would drive in easy

THE MASTER PIN IS OUT!!!!!!!!
My son's friend came down with his portable welder and air arc, and had it out in a half hour. I didn't even get to see it happen, because I was getting a heifer with a fresh calf into the barn. It was out by the time I got done. If I can't find a new pin, I'll probably just have a machine shop make me one.
Note to self: When splitting tracks in the future, step one is get a good man with an air arc.

I have to ask about MAPP gas. I have a little torch that uses a small MAPP cylinder, and a little oxygen cylinder, but I was in-aware that you could even get it in large tanks. What exactly is it, other than obviously a hot burning gas. Is it a mixture of a couple, or is it a stand alone gas? How does it stack up against propane and acetylene as far as burning temperature, price, and such? Thanks, Darrel

Victor was the major supplier to Airco back in the day, more than likely same or a Victor similar. I used that torch for a solid two years before giving it up to another scrapper. Biggest job we used two on took us almost 60 days to cut up a 'Walking Dragline' in a old MO strip pit back in the 70's. Boiler produced steam powered electrical generators ran the machine. Was a challenge for three guys and little time or knowledge of what we were doing! Thickest it would cut reasonably clean was 3".
Used propane for fuel gas, rented a Ryder flatbed to haul LP and O2 tanks to run the gas axes, worked 12-14 hour days back then as I was young and full of it! Special regulators and tips for LP gas or MAPP gas.

Dave, I actually don't know what it is. It's the same tip that's in my victor torch. I don't use it to often. It's nice for scrappin or standing back, just using ox./acetelene, cause we don't use it much. Some one gave it to us,said it needed to be rebuilt. Changed the valves and poof! works good!

Mel, if my eyes do not deceive that appeared to be similar to my old Airco Cutmaster. Have not seen one in forever as no longer made. Used mine for two years scrapping heavy machinery. Using MAPP gas? for fuel gas or Propane?
