That's silly brainwashing by branding. An Adidas thread is just as good.


ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

But what if its blue!!???


My point exactly. If the OP states what he has, in detail, what he
wants to do, what he's tried, what he thinks is the problem, etc.
then a whole lot of questions don't have to be asked by anyone who is
trying to help him. Details are gold.


(P.S: Got a shipment date for my rasps/files, dude?)


Got some checks coming in this week. The box gets shipped when I get
the first one.

================

Take the sample in to your local auto parts stores. Even if
they don't and can't get, they may be able to identify the
vehicle this came off of. Then contact the dealer and/or
salvage yards with the info. Sounds heavy for a car, was
this off heavy equipment?


I bought these from Surplus Center. They have no more info other than
the size of the ball as stated in their description when I bought
these last 2 some years ago. They have no markings, labels, stampings
of any kind. The socket that fits on the ball is the valve for the
cylinder. It is built into the end of the cylinder. O'Reilly's and a
local industrial supply couldn't come up with one in their catalogs.

Even a ball I could drill and put a stud into would work. I haven't
been able to find any specs for CV joint balls. I've looked at a
hundred spherical stud rod ends. They give every dimension except the
ball diameter.

Thanks for your suggestion.

=====================
As this is machining related, should I put OT [on topic] on
the subject line?


If you have a manual lathe this sounds like a job for a
spherical turning tool. 1_1/4 diameter should not be that
expensive. Wonderful excuse for more tools... Piece of cake
to program on a cnc lathe.

I've seen something similar on Kenworth 40 ton trucks. It was a sort
of power assist steering - a cylinder connected between the drag link
and the frame. turning the steering wheel moved the drag link which
started to turn the road wheels and opened a valve in the end of the
hydraulic cylinder and assisted in turning the wheels - reversing the
movement of the road wheel changed the valving to move the cylinder
the other direction. This was a lot of years ago but someone in a
heavy truck shop might help you.

Exactly John. They are power assist cylinders. I've tried forklift and
tractor dealers. Didn't think of trucks. Just assumed they had power
gear boxes.

They may well have today. Try to find a gray headed mechanic :-)
