You keep telling yourself that. We have two dogs in the house and I have never changed a filter that looks like those you pictured. I have changed filters that looked like those, but 99% of them were from bars before they outlawed smoking in them. It’s called tar for a reason.Quote:

More enjoyable and you'll feel better for it.:blob2:

Attachment 1733923 Some days are just like that I guess. Been doin' this for near on a quarter century................first time for everything I guess:rolleyes: I've had a stray O2 stream wander before, but not to the point of damaging something beyond use.
You can get this once in a while. The cut stream will sometimes veer off the path you intend. Generally when you're cutting stuff with hollow areas, or with a lot of grease in an enclosed pocket. It can literally veer 45* off course, or worse. But DAMMY GRAMMY...........never had one do this:laugh:
That was a $75 cut:rolleyes: New yoke, and cross. Had to buy the cross anyway, so I guess it's just the cost of the new yoke. And....................it would have to be a Series 14:realmad: Tractor supply has the yoke for $67, and the cross kit runs $30. I can get the entire shootin' match offa Ebay for $75. Weasler probably makes the stuff for Rhino:rolleyes:
Still ahead of the game I guess. Complete new shaft is about a bazillion dollars from Rhino.............and any aftermarket shaft would have to be reworked to fit the machine. Cheapest aftermarket Series 14 complete shaft runs about $280.
Well Hell.............checking around as I type. O'reilly has the U joint for $20...............so the Tractor supply yoke (Weasler) is lookin' better by the minute.
:D So.........like...........if we didn't smoke.........the crud would pass through the filter???????????????????:laugh: Where's all that dirt, and dog hair gonna go???????? Alternate Universe?:DQuote:

I'm hangin' this one on Global Warming:D Seems to be the catchall for just about everything these days:laugh:
When we are torching something at work and get into a flange or the material we aren't intending to cut, we just pretend it never happened[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Seriously though I know what you mean. Happens quite often from either no room or poor visibility. I often wonder when I'm at work and were working in a cramped area what it would be like had they extended the building another 20 feet or whatever is was originally drawn up for. They didn't do it because it was an extra million or something back in the 60's.Quote:

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Don't get me wrong there's guys who can burn without ever knowing they was there, but that ain't me and many guys there. I'm sure in 15 10 years I could be that guy.Quote:

I'm blamin' it on Global Warming!!!!!:D
The tar from the cigarette smoke binds all the other particles together and blinds the filters faster than the dust/hairs would have on their own.Quote:

sam, heres a better idea. much does a pack of 20 cost you? how many packs in day? start doing your sums and you'll see how much cash you are burning through.
i used to smoke, 40 a week or so, and it was 5 GBP a pack roughly. that was 520 a year i was spending. now they are about double that so thats a lot of much just to burn.
There are few things as hard on everything they touch as cigarette smoke. Furnace filters, pulmonary systems, walls, windows, curtains, you name it. Everything inside your house is brownish-yellow, but I suppose that’s a coincidence.Quote:

Went to the city to pick up a new yoke. This is where I discover that the Rhino is equipped with Series 35 yokes, instead of Series 14's:laugh:, and all they had on hand were 1000rpm yokes in that size:rolleyes: The Series 35 is correct for cap-to-cap width, but not for the cap diameter. To add a bit of confusion, there's a Series 35N that's a bit closer to what I have, although I'm not sure 35N isn't just the new designation. Guess it's time to get the mic out, and see just what I have. It's the usual.................:dizzy: For all I know, I might be looking at a metric yoke. Or, an Unobtainium yoke:D
But, I did get a Carl's Junior.............so it wasn't a total waste:D
So, now it might be time to either hunt down the right yoke,, or attempt a repair on the old yoke.
I can braze the bore to bring it to spec in the damaged area, then reinforce the outside of the yoke at this area with a builtup weld. I like brazing because it's non destructive. I'm afraid to weld anywhere inside that bore.
I personally wouldn’t try to build that yoke up. From the pics I would just run it as is unless it’s worse then the pics show. Yes there is a 35n series cross. By the parts list you showed it looks to be a 44 series yoke
Really... how much horsepower does that little mower use? Braze, cleanup with a flap wheel on a die grinder and be done. Oh, no more torching on U-joint caps.Quote:

:laugh: Cut a cap.........................really???????????????? ??:laugh: Cut out the cross, and the caps generally just tap out because of the heat involved cutting the cross.
About 10 yrs ago we took out a wheel bearing on the back of a John Deere combine. Didn't realize until after I got back from the parts run that the spindle was also damaged. I went slow with the MIG, kept it cool between passes and ground it down until the outside races of the wheel bearings were snug again. It carries a lot more weight and abuse than that U joint and it's still going. Come to think of it, some day I should open it up and see how things are doing....Quote:

Unless you mess it up:D
First lathe job I ever did was a spindle on a Cat scraper on the elevator chain tail roller, built up with wire and turned and finished to fit the hard way with files... we didn't have a lot of fancy measuring stuff at the time. Saved Dad $1200 bucks and made up for the broken vise. :laugh:Quote:
