Fixing Frozen Track Links on a Bulldozer

[@dieseJL]

I built a 20 ton track press here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWrMqWZ9r9Cnl9U Check out why we didn't even attempt to use it for the TD20!

not sure where in that video im supposed tobe looking. Ive seen guys on youtube put pins in the freezer and heat up the other parts and it worked? So not sure

I think to break those I would’ve needed 300 ton which doesn’t really fit in a portable package

[@Iaintwoke]

@@dieseJL If there's room to get between just cut the pin into 3 pieces by cutting between the links.

[@kirk467]

Tyler if you go to C&C Equipment channel and chat with Clint the owner and a great mechanic, he shows how to lance a pin or shafts using a piece of small pipe, maybe 1/8” inch with oxygen blowing through it! Our machine shop used to do it all the time when I was still working! Clint did it on one of his videos when he had frozen pins on a dozer! If you can get the pin molten metal and put the oxygen pipe in it then you can slowly push it all the way through the pin! I’ve never done it because our machinists would take care of that part of the job! I just didn’t think of when I saw y’all doing it on the other video!

Yeah I need to research that more… I’m sure this wasn’t the last pin I’ll have to remove

[@kirk467]

Once you get the center out then heat the outside of the link red hot and drive it through, that’s where it’s seized and heat will expand it! The heat on the pins will get it moving but expands it at the same time, Tyler! I’m too late but if you ever have to do this again that would be the quickest way! I didn’t know you could cut the center out! The pins is only frozen on the ends! I wish I could’ve helped when yall first started but we over see how you did it and not while you’re working on it!

What soooooooooooo many people fail to see when watching this video is you're developing your skills and knowledge, both of you. Some many people want to just have the answer, or give you the answer. Men in todays world refuse to, and have not be taught what it is to learn. It's 1000% impossible to become skilled at anything without fucking up over and over and over again, while also learning and trial and error. You dont know until you try, and you keep trying until you figure it out.

[@zodwraith5745]

Yes and no. While it indeed does well to figure things out yourself to develop your critical thinking skills and mechanical inclination, the smartest among us knows when to ask your elders that have _already_ learned from their mistakes. The _failure_ is what teaches you. Failing over and over and over doesn't necessarily teach you much more. You can push a kid in the pool to teach him to swim, but at some point you need to save them from drowning.

Welldone on getting the track fixed. I have watched other do this job. It is never easy. You did it. Cheers Stew.

[@zodwraith5745]

What a PITA. 😂Good idea to grind a bit on the pins and hone out the links. What I was thinking while you were struggling to get them pulled together was a couple of those big industrial sized c clamps that could have squeezed plates slid through the sides of the links. Then surround the clamp points with balls of tack weld to keep them from popping off while using the sledge to drive the pin. A little "pocket" so to say for the clamps to rest in. That way you could have carefully adjusted them to make sure everything lines up. Would have been cheaper than having custom plates cut for the jig you made and still be useful down the road. Not to mention I was expecting you to place a log directly between the link and the chassis when dad cut them. Every hit of the sledge I'm watching the track move back and forth losing a ton of the force into the flex of the track instead of the pin. Hindsight is always 20/20 I suppose. Still a good watch.

[@morgansword]

The luxury of owning great tools means having enough money to retire with before you start today. Even as a young kid, I saved all of my tools, craftsman tools to start with and better tools later. We are talking sixty years ago. When I started, a nice big box, a carry tool box with tools, basic set of standard sockets in 3/8's and 1/2" tool sockets, a ratchet for both, a weird breaker bar, some screw drivers, allen wrenches, a set of feeler gauges, a couple chisels and I do believe three punches. There were scips in those sets, oh and a hack saw. Today that same set would be three hundred dollars, and I paid fifty dollars on the Five dollars down and five dollars a month. I was fifteen but had to have my dad sign for me to get credit. I am not sure what a air arc and welding gear would cost but about as much as you paid for this machine plus parts to get into a class of tools that will stand the test of time. I do believe that companies like Vevor will eventually bring some costs down on good tools. I had a half million in tools twenty years ago. That is without the building to put them in. Happy that you got it together and thinking new rails might of been the better start of this. I am assuming you are going to keep this machine for another twenty years to make it actually pay for its self. If a guy is starting out, I believe a good used machine that is paid for is the way to go. Interest will increase to so high that no one can have a great machine or tool set anymore. Blue collar jobs are still better than college and years to pay for going. Many arguments for either direction of course but people are broke. Its not going to get better if tampon tim gets into office either as his ideas plus Kamalas ideas are going to take us into war.

[@andykiciak5781]

Good that you got it done but crazy expensive and lots of hard work. If there ever is a next time……grab a cut off wheel and grind a slot in the top of the bushing to the pin. Fill with your favorite penetrating oil and bump the link around until it frees up. It won’t take much once the oil gets in there, then weld up the bushing slot. Grind it back if you want it to look pretty.

[@aussiedirtmover]

Certainly attacking the pin by cutting the centre out in theory should work 😂😂😂😂Often FAILS Trick is 2 big heating tips heat both outer flanges till glowing red. Drive the pin out and back in same way dont let the flanges cool while driving the pins. I used to do this many times over the years until I made a portable hydraulic press to push them while drinking a coffee 😂😂😂great vid 😂😂😂😂 DONT LET THE RAILS SEPERATE AS THE PIN WILL JÀM ❤❤❤❤

[@dieseJL]

Yeah not bad advice for next time 🤔

[@davidfrost801]

A pin driver will usually do the job to get started by you need to roll the pin back under the drive sprocket on firm ground, the weight of the machine helps a lot to drive one out with a sledge hammer and pin driver, 12 or 16 lb helps, 20 if necessary, heat helps also.....been there too many times.....

My friend, nice work, if you want some little advice; when you tap on something moving, use a mass resting on the other end as a counter-blow, otherwise the force will be dispersed in the movement. I in your place would have used an anvil behind or something heavy at least 30 kg, if possible always use some kind of screw puller or hydraulic clamp; hammer beating is not that powerful your son driving is a love, and the roof shot gave me an idea on how to build the roof for my tractor, a hug my friend.

If you heat up the track and pin red hot shut off torch and dump on a bucket of cold water. Than it will easy drive out in a couple hits. 4 or 5 maybe. Do the same with those big dirty rusty nuts and bolt even old rusty log truck lug nuts and half the time they will trun off by hand. If you only heat it will move but very hard and will mess up threads. I seen people fighting that stuff for no reason all my life. Even seen them blast them out with dynamite.

Given your fabricating skills I hope next time you build the over sized C clamp that holds your ten ton hydraulic jack. As you have seen you can do it like this but the fundamental problem is the next link wants to bend out of the way thus one way or the other "press them" On the other hand you did prove, on the first pin, if you really take care of each little measure heat and outer and FREEZE the pin they can go in so easy you wonder if now it is too loose but one minute later it is tight as hell.

[@incubatork]

Nothing like Blood, sweat and tears to look back on once its done, nice job. Micrometres are not that expensive unless you go to the top of the line and you don't use top of the line equipment on a dozer track unless your measuring maybe the crankshaft or bearing seats, even the cheapest micrometres will measure down to 0.001" accurately the main difference in the expensive ones is they last for years if looked after and still measure exactly as they did when new because they are made from superior expensive materials. I have 2 different size Mitutoyo micrometres and 4 or 5 cheap ones for every day use, the Mitutoyo's will probably out last me but the cheap ones will probably not, at least accuracy wise.
