    Powdercoating anyone?

    Hopefully enough. I glass bead everything. When I did the calipers I took them completely apart and put old used pistons in for "plugs" and taped them in so to keep powder out of the seal groove. If I don't get to coat something right away after blasting sometimes I have to put the part(s)...

    Powdercoating anyone?

    Figures I just found 1 more "half of a door hinge" that I missed when I redid those "wrong color" ones. I also found another oven I might go for if it's still available in a couple of days it's bigger and a double oven besides I'm not yet ready to commit to a dedicated *purpose built " PC...

    Powdercoating anyone?

    I thought e coat was pretty much "powdercoating" because of the electric charge for getting the powder to stick before it has a chance to be melted/ baked on

    Powdercoating anyone?

    I have 1 more part I'd like to redo, a gas tank for a Kohler generator that I finally found a replacement for.... It had a plastic tank cap on it that I left in place as a "plug" to keep powder out. It didn't take 400* very well, and melted, I had a molten gas cap on fire in the bottom of the...

    Powdercoating anyone?

    I have glass beaded everything I want it to stay onto. and most I have also sprayed with Eastwood "PRE" cleaner which Im 98%sure is the same thing as ospho. On the rotors (which are brand new but probably at least 30 years old) I didnt glass bead the pad surface. I don't want it to stick...

    Powdercoating anyone?

    New Holland S-12 parts?

    Not quite Actually Sperry new Holland originally designed that series of tractors and ariens "bought the line" around 1973-74. I believe they were sold under both brands for a couple of years after ariens bought the line from Sperry. The earliest ariens had the vichers hydro as well before...

    Thinking about building a truck from basically scratch

    Ok a little progress I found a different machine shop that is accepting work, and ran down both of my engines that I have in pieces. Not in huge rush but tired of being put in indefinite hold. At least want my stuff evaluated and told what machine work I need so I got a feeling what that part...
