Do you know how much it cost to own a machine shop and the cost of the machines in there ??? And the skill level to do the work . I had a good friend that i had knowen since the early sixty's set up a shop and had the latest and greatest machines in that shop at the time and he could bore any cylinder from 1.500 to 12.500 on a stationary boring bar that centered off the center line of the crank that was state of the art , that little toy set him back over 400000 bucks a line bore that could do up to a v 16 diesel and another 250000 bucks along with all the other toys . When his heart gave out he offered me his whole set up along with use of his shop for one year for the small price of a quarter mil . Yep that was a bargain but there was noway i could come up with that much . could i do the work , yep ran everything he had as when he was really busy and i needed something done fast he would say well you know where the machine is and you know how to use it . The line bore was the only one that i had a problem with set up as it took me way to long to get it set . Probably because i had only done a hand full of line bores here and there . So never complain how much it costs . Guys complain about the price of refacing a flywheel , they have never had to buy the replacement grinding stone for a flywheel grinder as they do not last vary long becasue it done correctly one should face the stone after each cut and each reface takes life off the stone , i know of some shops that do not do this and when you get the flywheel back you will find a radius on the outside edge and not a straight cut .

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
