How to Make a Yoke Bar
1.
Measure dimensions A and B of the yoke you
are servicing. Figure 9.1.
2.
Calculate dimensions C and D of the yoke bar
by adding 0.125-0.250-inch (3.175-6.35 mm) to
dimensions A and B of the yoke. Figure 9.2.
WARNING
Wear safe clothing and eye protection when you
use welding equipment. Welding equipment
can burn you and cause serious personal injury.
Follow the operating instructions and safety
procedures recommended by the welding
equipment manufacturer.
3.
To make the box section, cut and weld
1.0-inch x 2.0-inch (25.4 mm x 50.8 mm) mild
steel square stock according to dimensions C
and D. Figure 9.2.
4.
Cut a 4.0-foot x 1.25-inch (1.21 m x 31.75 mm)
piece of mild steel round stock to make the
yoke bar handle. Center weld this piece to the
box section. Figure 9.2.
