Vertical Check
Vertical dimensions are checked with a tramming bar
from indicated points on the frame (figs. 3 and 4). For
example, if the tram bar is set at point B with a vertical
pointer length of 8-1/4 inches, and at point E with a
vertical pointer length of 5-1/4 inches (a height differ
ence of 3 inches), the tram bar should be parallel with
the frame. If the area is twisted or misaligned in any
way, tram bar will not be parallel. Placing the tram
bar vertical pointers on opposite sides of the frame side
rail is preferable in that frame twist will show up during
this vertical check. Figures 3 and 4 show typical check
ing points, with dimensions for various frames shown in
the chart below.
Frame Repair
Welding
Before welding up a crack in frame, a hole should be
drilled at the starting point of the crack to prevent
spreading. Widen and V groove crack to allow complete
weld penetration.
NOTE:
Do not weld into corners of frame or
along edges of side rail flanges. Welding at
these points will tend to weaken the frame and
encourage new cracks.
Bolting
Wherever rivets or failed bolts are replaced, bolt hole
must be as near the O.D. of the bolt as possible to pre
vent bolt from working and wearing. Drill out and line
ream hole (or holes) to the bolt O.D.
