I was able to drive the D8 down the ranch’s access road to the main road holding my breath each time I touched the controls. What else could go wrong?

The whole time the D8 2U pushed scrapers and dirt around in the “sandbox” demonstration area. The D8 ran amazingly well and Chum was very pleased with his pur- chase. The weather did bring some rain and low hanging clouds, but overall it was a very successful show. The star of the sandbox, however, was the D8 2U that had been rescued out of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It remains on the ranch for now but may make a trip east to Pennsylvania sometime next year to join the rest of Chum’s collection of “yellow iron.” November/December 2019 www.acmoc.org 33

Departments As promised, we are providing a section within the expanded magazine for what we hope will be useful information for those who are in the process of restoring the classic Caterpillar machinery. We will try to select articles which will cover the more common problems encountered and pass by the information that would only apply to the rarer machinery. Some of the articles may be published over sev- eral issues if they require more space than is available in any one issue. In that the articles are taken from historical publications, some of the information pro- vided may have references to products which may no longer be available or have subsquently been replaced by more modern products. So one must keep this in mind when working with this information. At the time they were first published, it was the best available information.

CHOICE OF ELECTRODES Only two general types of available electrodes have been found satisfac- tory for track link build-up. Medium and high carbon electrodes are comparatively inexpensive and readily available. Weld deposit analy- ses of several brands show an average carbon content of 0.25% up to 0.50% with from 2% up to 5% alloying ele- ments usually chromium, manganese, and silicon. Some brands of these elec- trodes may be somewhat difficult to ap- ply, and may produce a slightly pitted or ragged looking weld which has no detrimental effect. Although the depos- its are moderately hard, they show very little tendency to crack, batter, extrude or spall out, and they show excellent resistance to abrasion.

Continue welding throughout the narrow section of one end of the link until completely filled then move to the opposite end and repeat this process across the narrow section. Step 5 Having completed the two ends, start a diagonal weaving bead (at about a 45° angle) across the wide center section of the link, working to- ward the center from each end. If the link overheats start welding the narrow sections of another link. Step 6 Allow the link to cool a few minutes (about the time required to complete the first overlay on two other links), then clean the slag from the first link overlay and apply the second pass in the same manner as described in steps 4 and 5.
