Dirt pan pin repair

Crabtree 22 yard frame pin replacement and hole repair. Making a hole fit a bushing again. Lots of redneck bore welding and heavy part moving.

[@merlinjust4753]

I always cover the cylinder ram so it doesn’t get splatter on it

[@rngn2010]

I really enjoy watching your video but i had to say that maybe you should have covered that cylinder before cutting and welding above it.

[@herbemont7627]

Maybe it was the customer's call, but a half assed repair all the way around

[@garyjarvis2730]

Given the owners of the equipment probably never greased or checked the machine your repair is perfect. Doing an "as new" line bore and press fit would be a waste of time if it's going to be abused in the long run. If your viewers want to see some real crazy repairs, try Pakistani Trucks on KZbin. All of your critics will be silenced. Thanks for sharing.

[@rearspeaker6364]

Pakistani Trucks on KZbin--now that's a wild channel!!

[@ghostdevill]

Waist of time? My friend my opinion is to make it better then new or at least try it! If you have a attitude like that nobody wants to do business with you!

[@eastcoastfabworks2329]

I do lineboring for a living and if the customer said let's slide the bushing in and weld it I'm walking away should be a press fit.

[@EEJester1586]

I understand I didn't like the fit either, but I'm pretty sure from the factory these bushings had no press fit. The other side had little wear on it and it slid right out. Not a great design but it works.

[@cammurray8453]

Sometimes, doing what the customer wants means the difference between working and not working.

@@EEJester1586 Doesn't work for long without repairs!!

[@joelwelder4364]

@@EEJester1586 don't sweat it, you or someone else will be fixing it again in a couple years.... maybe sooner. those bushings are absolutely press fit!! without that press fit, that hard bushing is gonna wear that steel and wear it away causing movement and eventually break the bushings again. that's a line bore job all the way, or make a new ear with the bushings already press fit or at least machined.

[@kristianskov4841]

@@joelwelder4364 some say, that there's no money to be made on finished jobs... Better to come back later an fix it again....

[@vicferrari9380]

I know you are all total pros at this you folks that would walk away have at it. Just don't expect them to go to you when they want to fix it right. That fix although not a proper 100%fix will get it moving dirt and keep a job on time and that can be worth more than fixing it " proper". Keep digging people.

[@pjford1118]

Often, in the area I live in, field fixes only have to last until winter when there is time for proper repairs

[@механизатор-з6ш]

then you will need to throw out the hydraulic cylinder that is located below the work site . it was necessary to protect the hydraulic cylinder from welding .

[@perpetualmotion1]

Looks like a job for a line boring machine.

[@douglasthompson2740]

Wasn't 3/32 a bit light on size for all that bead work? I kinda would of gone for 1/8".

[@not2fast4u2c]

I Always enjoy seeing a new video ..You fixed that at the right time before that pin broke in half

[@AlwaysBored123]

Imo the right time was before it wore halfway through the pin boss.

[@dieselhatz4247]

Those grease zerks aren’t required, just write your number on there, you’ll be back 😂. Great work as always, just what I needed before night shift. Keep safe out there, that big stuff bites harder as well.

[@brandonhilton5343]

That poor cylinder catching all that slag

Zerk fittings!? Or is it equipped with the special NBG fittings? Never Been Greased

Sry buddy but you can't have a patent on the thing you were calling a spike maul been using them for years but we call them a sissy stick lol

[@nigelwilliams8191]

You got the gear dude, why not linebore it an do it right 🤔

[@EEJester1586]

No sadly I don't. All the line boring equipment you have seen me use is a friend of mine's. I want my own line boring stuff but I can't swing that much money right now.

@@EEJester1586 like 2.5k on alibaba. Itl get there eventually.

[@beauswisher8580]

@@zhenherald don't waste your money on them Chinese line boreing equipment. You can get a better bore with a drill peace of 1.5 cold rolled steel and a few pillow blocks and some lathe tooling if you gotta go cheep go home made

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

As one of my customer says "Looks like the grease worms got in there and ate the pin!"

[@robertboykin1828]

# 1:18 STOP!! COVER THAT CYLINDER !

[@scottmccoy4129]

Great Video! I need to do a similar repair on a skid steer bucket pin, and watching this helped me form my action plan! Thanks!

[@anoka114]

Need to repair it correctly!!!

[@boomerang379]

All y’all talking about line boring is funny to me. This is a Crabtree bucket and if you ever met Jimmy Crabtree you’d understand. He probably had a more precision fit after eyeballing it and welding it up than it had when it left Yazoo City brand new 😂😂😂.

[@danielelliott3659]

I have done lots of repairs just like that. It's not the way I would like to do it but the machine was up and running and making money. The repair was more than likely just as good as the rest of the machine. Good job

[@909drummachine]

What is the name of that grinder attachment ? I've never seen that one

[@LLImprovement]

Definitely would've done this fix the same way myself.

[@beingdistracted478]

So, it doesn't damage the Cylinder Rod that is on the Lower Pan when you blow that molten metal from the cut onto the Cylinder Rod?

[@EEJester1586]

It’s not good for it. I would suggest focusing your fire on it but it won’t hurt if you don’t let too much hit it.

[@theessexhunter1305]

Nice, I tend to slit the weld on a pin like that with a 9" slitting disc that way the faces are clean. Field repairs are tough so cap tipped to you. My friend gave me a home made extension for a grinder it is like a stub axle so you can get inside a bore with a small wheel.

[@HayabusaRydr]

Let all the fire fall directly on the cylinder rod... yea ok

[@jpmwilson]

Might not be 100% ideal but will probably last as long as the rest of the machine before being overhauled or scrapped

[@haroldleroy846]

Every man needs to know how to make a big hole small again

[@killerkane1957]

I know nothing but I’m thinking line bore. Not pissing on your leg. Just not the way one would expect to fix this. With that said, you did a good job!

[@smedoz]

A cheap tight hole beats a loose one any day

[@RT-fe1mu]

I like the grinder attachment never seen one

[@johngoldsberry3976]

You welded the grease hole shut

[@ShainAndrews]

There isn't a drop of grease on either scraper. Construction labor. Beat the shit out of the equipment. Maintenance is somebody else's problem.

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Heard different terms for the dump Bucket Scoop Bowl Pan Same for the front Lid Gate Just all were you are and who you talk to.

[@herbemont7627]

Bowl where I'm from, the front is called an apron

Find a way to keep Tyrone away while your at work.

[@kaseycoleman993]

This was most definitely a line boring job 🤣 the old bushings came out easily because they were not welded in

[@eddielitamanuel3953]

You cant attain accurate fit..unless you use rebore machine.portable is available can be fitted with the use of carbide tip.

[@llyduramax1]

Where do you find those grinding rocks you were using to reach back in that hole?

[@EEJester1586]

That’s a 18R cone grinding rock you can buy them at some welding stores. Most of the time you have to get them off the Internet Norton makes a good one.

[@CliffsideStables]

Always enjoy watching good craftsmanship. Job well done! Tim

[@peterbilt898]

What kind of disc do you have on that Makita do you have part number

[@EEJester1586]

Is a R 18 cone grinding rock. You can find them on amazon.

[@waiakalulu3501]

Aloha, thanks for the video. Cool action shots. We just did a similar repair on a D7. Lots of build up and grinding. Our piece was worn a lot worse, so we bent 3/32" rods to build up the center of the hole first and kept the heat down. Afterwards they went strait in with some 1/8" rod. Then they ground a stone the same size as the new 4140 pin and did a poor man's line bore with the stone. It all worked out, but it took about three days! Keep spinning plates. Pick from a place of abundance. Keep them in your frame. You're a high value male with these skills.

[@ssr4656]

I have a suitcase welder that would make your next job like that much faster, $500

[@nealk6387]

Should have been line bored

[@carlmassey8837]

I also do heavy equipment welding. With over 50 years experience.. This is just a patch job. There's nothing wrong with keeping your customer happy ! But give them the Choice of a professional job and a patch job ! And I also do line boring and facing.. I'll patch something up at 1st to keep them going to keep my customer from having down time.. Not having downtime is very important to your customer.. Working a scheduled shut down for repairs is good business ! Keeping America working with portable welding ! Nights, Weekends, Holidays, Anything to keep my customers from having down time And have them running their next scheduled workday on time ! No one wants to stick around while I'm welding the cracks on their full fuel tanks ! 🔥🤣🔥🇺🇸😎🇺🇸 American Pride ! ----‐----------------------- Good job with your welding young man ! Stay safe and always protect your eyes and fingers ! *"AMEN"* !!!

[@ShainAndrews]

Don't want to grease it, they sure as hell wouldn't pay for a line bore. It's amazing the equipment I see at Richie Bros that looks identical. Paint and everything looks great, but a guy starts looking at friction points. No grease, and plenty of repairs.

[@kirkbodendorfer5313]

[@kaikristyalegracameron7893]

Ethan, your a dead set legend mate. And G'day from Australia. I've got to do a very similar repair myself soon on a Hitachi ZX55U-2. Main Banana boom pin hole looks virtually identical to this dozer before your amazing work. You should be proud mate, that job was bloody brilliant and anyone who says otherwise is a waste of space keyvoard warrior. What people don't seem to realise is that when your out in the middle of bum fuck nowhere and the client doesn't have time to do a full cleanup and linebore because that takes to long and time is money... We reckon you did outstanding work, keep it up. Cheers, Kai, Kristy & Alegra

[@jerryglen986]

Ethan you are a great stick Welder. Probably good at all, but I haven't seen your do the other 2. Great video.

[@EEJester1586]

Thank you. Yes sir I can weld with the other types of welding as well. MIG, TIG, and Flux core. I don't use them very offend because most of my work is big heavy and dirty. Stick is king with the work I do I don't have to worry about the weld having problems because of wind or paint or rust or some other stupid reason.

[@TheGarywilliams]

I'm restoring a ford cl40 skid steer . I looked at one video about rebuilding a cylinder for tips on how to get the jamb nut off . You tube........ 50 videos about various machines I didn't even know existed . Witch I also watched instead of building a cylinder. Gotta love youtube

[@bobjefferis9901]

I know I'm way late on this video but have I've had good luck using a brass bushing the same size as what's required and using it to weld against to minimize grinding

[@markhenderson9778]

[@marvinmoss9749]

Yes one speck of weld on that cylinder and first working of the cylinder seals are GONE

[@robertboykin1828]

I liked to grease that stuff after a day's use. I learned the hard way. An 18 lb maw gets pretty heavy after a coupla hrs hammering.

[@maxpuppy96]

People who do line boring are cringing, but I get it, your out in the field and needs to get repaired, who can wait until a machine shop can do it if they will do it. Good repair job, getting it done.

[@allanholiday441]

I think you repair it based on how it will be used. If it's used 40 hrs a week for years or 20 hrs in one year. A friend told me shitty equipment gets fixed shitty. Great job making it work.

[@vryzenok]

A grease nipple is a key point, and if you greasing on regular basis, you don`t have to do a job like this!

[@EEJester1586]

Hahaha you didn’t insult me. I wish I made that kind of money nah that’s really a easyish job compared to some I’ve faced. That kind of job is what I would call a camp job my favorite.
