Bass the outer seals need to be installed around the other way,the way you have them when you grease the pin the seals will be blown out with the grease pressure hope this helps,old lineborer from NZ

[@tosh9120]

Haha, I thought the same. Always fit outer seals to keep water and dirt from going in.

[@jamesward5721]

If them expander pins strike you as handy Baz, get a little 220v Hitbox or Yeswelder flux core machine & prepare to be amazed at how well those work for getting bushes out - they don't care much about grease, are nice & light & bang on a bead that shrinks them bushes real fast.

[@welderfabber]

I’ll look in to it mate cheers

[@AnthonyB17]

Don't have a clue what any of this is but it just sounds correct 😅😅

[@krisbrzezina2289]

bushes on this are bronze

[@keithknotts227]

Brilliant technology for the pin; it's just like an ER collet for a lathe to flex and take up the slack of movement. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. To all of the lads in, and outside, the shop that put in the hours not shown in the episodes, and the chronicles, you are appreciated by the people that watch this channel because we know that you take each process to heart, and are precise with what you do. As always, thanks for the content. Cheers from the US.

[@JonDingle]

I have heard of their locking washer system but never looked any further. Very interesting stuff and their website covers everything they do. Top job young man!

[@indreklensment8374]

Expander pins are fairly common in logging industry here in Estonia. I've seen them around here in many machines. Simple idea that is made into product that works really well. Thanks for the video!

[@welderfabber]

Thanks for your feedback

[@malcolmroberts2134]

Used expander pins for many years on different applications CAT 966G bucket and on the old Aveling Barford rigid dumpers skip pins with no problem they save time and money

[@welderfabber]

yeah massive for downtime etc

[@darrencorcoran3863]

Hi baz. Love the channel here in Ireland. Them pins are a very good idea. The man that came up with that idea definitely earned his wages. Brilliant idea.

[@orville697]

and lost a load of guys who line bore a load of money, but what a great invention

[@gettogo0159]

@@orville697 Think of it this way.... it's a go to fix - cheap never permanent but in time the bore hole will go so out of shape that line boring - weld - reboring to size is going to be the only fix not a expanding fixing. This invention is purely down to the lack of skilled work force & price gouging that is happening by the big players. As you said their always be a small operator/machinist (former employee) that be better value & quality in the work that out weighs this new 'item'. So the money lost vs the fix is what it come down to. If the fix a dirt cheap - PRC made it I bet it will fit the tight fisted operators to the other side that will pay good money to get a permanent fix in the movable areas.

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

It is a permanent fix - the expanding sleeve deforms to match the ovality in the lug hole, has a Lifetime warranty, proven in manufacturer field trials +50,000hrs. while line boring is not permanent, the repair lasts on average 4-5,000hrs, @@gettogo0159

[@Eavis_excavations]

Nice little mid week episode certainly looks like it did the business and with a 10k hrs guarantee you can ask for any more great stuff 👨🏻‍🏭🔥🧡

[@7123]

Those expander pins are pretty much 'taper locks'. We use the idea for locking steel wheels onto axles, works a treat and also easily adjustable. You can also buy pulleys and sprockets which lock onto a shaft in a similar way, holds on much better than grub screws etc.

[@Smokey1970]

Hiya, I’ve seen this system used before on a 40ton Komatsu a few year’s back. It’s not an accurate case study though as the operator that worn the original used his machine like a sledgehammer and had a bad habit of slewing into material as a stop instead of countering in the lever to come to a stop in a limestone quarry. Rough doesn’t come close. As a freelance op I was curious how the system lasted once I’d moved on after the holiday cover arrangement I was contacted by Dave the on-site dedicated head fitter 7months later of 12hr shifts. Under the same set in his ways op that wouldn’t take advice doing the same thing’s the bushes didn’t last as long as the original set up and still had to be bored out eventually. However in normal use case with a good op he felt the system would be a game changer for companies that traded in machines before 5000 hrs that wasn’t under such duress clearing blast sites and large hammer work and loading 3-4ft boulders into the crusher with a poor op.

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

If fitted correctly, Expander is permanent, proven in manufacturer field trials +50,000hrs, with a lifetime warranty, while a line bore repair typically lasts 4-5,000hrs

[@SuperTone35]

Taper bushes look quite good. They could be a wee rat for the bolts coming loose. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts Baz, after a good bit of use. Thanks great video

[@ciderant]

Another great video guys. Its the small details that make your video's a treat to watch, like taking the small burr off the outer frame. Lots of other companies would just slap it all back together. Keep up the great work.

[@TommyGun21]

Them expanding pins don’t work. Boom holes always wear egg shaped. Always go back to original pins and bushes. Get the old girl line bored. 😢

[@welderfabber]

The company went from 10k hour to lifetime this years so a 30+ year old company wouldn't put a claim like that up unless they could back it up.

[@TommyGun21]

You’ll be getting it line bored in six months. 😂 Love the videos though.

[@welderfabber]

@@TommyGun21 haha, let me guess you're a line borer

[@TommyGun21]

[@anthonyshaw7251]

Nice job everybody, tip for next time fitting bushes is to put them in a freezer, they go in easier.

[@butchphillips873]

G'day Baz, Good luck with the Nordlock pins. We used a simular type of pin back in the eightys down here in Australia. i dont think Nord lock was the brand however we did Not have much luck with the system. Was better to just to go straight to the line bore. Will be interesting to track this one. Cheers, Butch.

[@AnthonyB17]

Them expander pins are just a dream come a reality for you baz they look mint them like you said why have you never seen these before Great work once again baz luke and director Video quality is improving every video great work the welder fabber team 💪👊

[@jameshockey6916]

Another great video thanks, another case of 'greased in the factory "that will do!" that expander pin is a interesting idea. Will be really interesting to see how they last, certainly could save a lot of time and money as a quick fix. My only thought is without anything stopping the pin turning if they became loose and the operator didn't notice would they spin and wear the bore quicker?

[@welderfabber]

They shouldn’t come loose mate after a couple of re torquing. Time will tell I’m new with these. They have a lifetime warranty so I’d say they have been well tested over the years…

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

Expander has a lifetime warranty, is a premanent solution, it has OE fit and approved repair with many makes, the sleeves when torqued into place stop the movement. Once fitted periodic re-torque enough

[@martindouglas3489]

Going sat to Saturdays video you could baz’s trails( bit like Parker’s trails a spin off pf gold rush). Do a job with Chris Allen then Alistair in Ireland then the mighty maximus aka mini baz then show Tony beets a trick or two then off Freddie dodge.

[@ProfSimonHolland]

i like them, good engineering solution

[@welderfabber]

yes sometime its simple but very effective

[@orville697]

would of thought the bolts would of had a locking tab or wire locking to stop them working loose. What a great product and saves a load of work.

[@welderfabber]

Great thing for plant hire.

[@SimonHarvey-i4z]

YEAH YEAH YEAH THIS AINT THAT NEW TBH well thought out solution and well needed as many many muppets operating these very expensive machines and don't even have the know how or energy to even drag a dip stick out SHOCKING KEEP UP GOOD WORK M8

[@Pistol0291]

Although you got them out in the end, I'd have burned a slot in the old bushes to collapse them. The new collett bushes should be great if they last like they're supposed to

[@welderfabber]

No need for a slot mate just a bit of heat in enough. Don’t want to be blowing oxygen through the end of the boom really.

[@plantmanager2176]

they used to be called expander pins, used mainly for the re- pinning of loading shovel articulation pins , I first saw them in the nineties

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

Still called Expander, now owned by Nord-Lock, range covers 10,000+ machines

Unfortunately Hitachis biggest fault. They have a lot of play even when they are new. Every one of our machines have been shimmed up at under 1000hrs

[@andyclark1426]

Thon pins are a good simple idea, wonder how they would handle being on a hammer attachment???

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

work well on hammer attachment, has OE fit and an approved repair with many makes

[@harrywills58]

Now im no professional but from my expirence of lifting materials and equipment i wouldnt use a strap to hold the dipper while using gas on it. Surly a chain would be better as there is no chnace of it braking under the heat or flame. But that pin is something diffrent, do they make them in many differnt sizes? maybe something you need to put ashville on to. keep up the great videos

[@grant29mac]

We use expander pins a lot in forestry, if you give the boss a knock with hammer when fitting the expander cone it’ll settle it in quicker when tightening. Then when removing knock round the boss again will break the seal and the expander cone will start to walk out!

[@welderfabber]

Awesome bit of kit that 👌🏼👍🏼 Machine down Time & money saving

Would of been good to see you do all the pins . The pins on the end looked very sloppy , since that one made such an improvement, wondering by doing the buckets pins as well if it’s like a new machine, , what about price , How much more are there , obviously going to be higher due to not having t9 line bore , time ect,

[@MichaelHarrigan-uk4ne]

Yes, bucket pins needed doing, next time! Check a price with Nord-Lock, what machine is it?

[@craigoneill4504]

That will be a solution for James & the guys at Baxendon Car Breakers wouldn't it? Their Doosan needs line boring maybe?

[@kalv123]

Good watch, I've seen these advertised before but never had the chance to use them yet. Should be good for the small plant where the line boring is abit to pricey against the price of the machines themselves. Do you remember what you paid for that one pin?

Expander range covers 10,000 machines and attachments, up to the biggest mining trucks, dozers and face shovels, price depends on the size, check Nord-Lock

I have a bobcat e10 ,and to remove the bushes I would heat up the arm ,as I thought if the bushes got heated they would expand and be harder to remove ,do you think that your way is easier than the way I do it

[@welderfabber]

Its the shrinking after the heat that makes them easy to come out.

Well baz I'm amazed at the amount of wear on that 135 at 5000 hours lazy drivers again young drivers won't grease the machine without gloves iv got a 135 with 9000 hours it hasn't got that much wear on that pin the bucket links and quick hitch will allways wear that expander pin is a brilliant idea never heard of them it will be interesting to see how long they last. Very interesting videos 👍 👍👍

[@jonbell2305]

I never knew these existed before what a great bit of kit. Thanks Baz saves loads of time. Just hate to think how long these have been available. If its a while they need new marketing people as this industry needs these in there tool van. You could change the pin in a couple of hours ( if you use gas straight off lol ) rather than 1 day off the road. Amazing 👏 👍

Expander pins are mint 👍. If there badly egg shaped you can attack the oversize sleeve with a grinder untill its a decent fit rarther than getting it bored. You need to retorque the expender pin with each engine service.

Nice fix Bax, get the director to buy a line borer/welder and train one of the lads up. That way you can do the buckets and all sorts of worn holes. The pins wear because of work load they always have and always will, a good fix for a in-house machine but the hire lads will do their best to break them as ever. Keep up the good content.
