The two outer teeth on the buckets are supposed to be crooked,pointing outwards. There central longitudinal axis is aligned with the axis of the sidewalls on the bucket,to protect sidewall from wear when you dig. They wear out instead of the bucket. Once a bit worn, their length having reduced,you swap them with the inner ones,or change them,depending on what you dig,so the wear they suffer from.

[@Cyruscosmo]

At 16:03 you will see a groove cut round the inner diameter of the eye. That is for grease so that no matter where the holes are in the bushing they all get grease.

[@redwarf8118]

this.

[@JohnDoe-zr6bk]

I think making the hole line up is for the worse. The pressure in the the other holes for the grease is now lower thus they get less grease and the grease is spread unevenly....

[@stevecorcoran9869]

The slow operating speed & heat on the lower (retract) side of your boom main cylinder are most likely due to damage to the o-ring between the piston and the rod, or in one or more of the seal rings on the outer diameter of your piston, especially since it looks like you guys used a hammer when installing both these items during reassembly. It is incredibly easy to accidentally cut cylinder seals and o-rings during reassembly & even experienced hydraulic technicians do it more often than you would think. If a seal or o-ring is damaged, much of the pressure bypasses around the piston, so you are losing pressure that is trying to force the cylinder to extend, causing the slower movement. Since pressure and temperature have a direct relationship, the increase in pressure as the hydraulic fluid shoves through the damaged area of the seal causes an increase in temperature in that fluid, so you will notice the retract side of the cylinder is notably hotter than the extend side. If the damage to the seal or o-ring is fairly large, you can lift the boom, release the control lever and the boom will often slowly drift down a small amount before the pressure on each side of the piston equalizes causing the boom to stop moving. You can positively determine if oil bypassing the piston in the boom cylinder is the actual issue without removing the cylinder from the machine and disassembling it using the following troubleshooting procedure: Shut the machine off and function the boom control in both directions to ensure you have bled the pressure off both sides of the piston. Now remove the hose from the raise (extend) port of the main boom cylinder and cap/plug both the hydraulic hose and the fitting on the cylinder (WARNING: Do this with actual hydraulic plugs/caps as you will be applying pressure to the cylinder next). Now start the machine and move the boom control to lower the boom. If the boom cylinder does not move, or moves just a tiny bit and then stops, the piston is NOT bypassing. From the description in the video, what you will most likely see happen instead is that your boom cylinder will actually begin to extend and lift the boom, even though you are applying pressure to the lower (retract) port of the cylinder and there is not even a hose hooked to the raise (extend) port. This happens because the surface area on the extend (raise) side of the piston is larger than the surface area on the back of the piston (since the cylinder rod is installed on that side) and the oil being applied to the retract side of the piston bypasses around the damaged piston ring/seal causing the pressure on both sides to equalize. However, since there is more surface area on the extend (raise) side of the piston for the hydraulic fluid to push against, the piston (and cylinder) are forced to extend. If this is what happens, you will need to remove the boom cylinder and carefully put another seal kit in it.

[@Dalec81]

I realize I'm 4 months late, but I completely agree with your assessment here. If they haven't already it would be a good idea to take the lower arm off and check the seals. I've seen this more times than I care on heavy machinery as, as you mention, it is very easy to do. Even a tiny piece of dirt or silica in the line can cut the seals as well and allow for the pressure to bypass the arm causing enormous amounts of damage to the equipment if not addressed in a timely way. You will see scoring on the housing, or in the worse case a groove where the fluid has pushed past the seal and caused scoring to turn into a channel.

@@carlroge as it happens....I worked for the hydraulic ram supplier to JCB in the 1990's. I developed that boom raise ram with its "cushion bush" damper. The bush you fitted to the rod, adjacent to the piston is actually tapered by 4 minutes and it throttles the oil flow through the gland at the last 50mm of travel. This is to prevent the boom whacking at the end of the strokel and your bucket of muck flying out. It will get very hot as the hydraulic oil is squeezed through the gap between the bush and gland. Suffice to say, it's vital to it's operation that you fit it the correct way round! One thing I don't recognise is the little white things your dad placed in the gland oil holes. Edit: the grease holes in the bronze bushes don't have to line up with the grease nipples. There is a grease groove around the ram eye bore.

Lots of work for sure!. If you ever have to put brass bushings in those again like at 16:50 or so, you could also line it up and use the vice to press it in vs pounding. That can work better with a metal plate to push against vs the wood, but I saw you have some flat stock you were pounding on. That can be a more controlled insert vs pounding. That also works to put bearings onto a shaft if you take your time and line it up. I did that method when I put new bearings on my drill press restore project. Using a vice or press is much preferred vs pounding. :) Less chance of damaging the pieces as well. Though in my case I did split the wood on my wood vice and so moved it to my metal vice instead which worked better.

[@seppokoponen6897]

If the cracks continue to appear on the excavator (tired material) the next step would be to cut and weld reinforcement plates around the most stressed area.

[@wleyder]

Press fit or shrink fit bushing design and installation is a common method of retaining bearings by use of interference between the bushing and the bushing hole. Bushings are available in standard sizes with both inside and outside diameters surfaces finished, and are commonly available in many sizes. Typically, bushings are designed and manufactured 0.002 to 0.003 inch over nominal on outside diameter sizes for sizes 3 inches or less. Diameters greater than 3 inches, the outside diameters are designed 0.003 to 0.005 inch over the nominal size. Because interference material is built into the bushings, and the bushing is normally manufactured to tolerances of +/- .0002. The effective interference of the press fit is designed and facilitated within the target hole which the bushing is installed. The process of press or shrink fitting the bushing into the hole, causes the bearing reduce in size due to the compressive forces applied. Additionally, the material which the bushing has been pressed into distorts some as well. In general, this diameter changes are equal to 70 to 100 per cent of the amount of the material interference or fit. Unfortunately, precisely or mathematically predicting the size change due to the effective compressive forces applied during installation has not been shown to be accurate. Typical installation compression forces and effective diameter changes may be modeled or characterized by fabricating several test cases and measuring the range and variations of the actual fit. Often, bushings are designed with additional diametrical material requiring a post press fit installation machine process to accurately ream to the desired diameter. Shrink fits are facilitated by chilling the bushing using a suitable median, such as liquid nitrogen, dry ice, or placing the bushing within a freezer. Cooling down the bushing is preferred rather than heating the target housing. Normally, the bushing is of significantly less mass than the target housing, though heating the housing and simultaneously cooling the bushing is no uncommon . When a bushing or bearings are pressed into a housing, the force driving the bushing / bearing should be applied equally or uniform to the end of the bearing to avoid galling, peening or damaging the bushing / bearing. The mating surfaces of both the bushing and housing should be thoroughly cleaned and imperfections as well as burrs removed.

The problem with the speed is caused by the white plugs you put in the hole at 23:20 in the video. Remove them and i promise that your problem is solved.. it's supposed to be e free flow of hydraulic liquid in those holes.. Greetings from a Swedish hydraulic specialist..

Apologies if a repeat question (bit late to the vid, which was excellent btw), but is there a crack running around the kingpin knuckle that is welded to the front of the cab? 31:21 gives a good view of it. Seems to indicate a crack along the whole top of the weld (could be dirt), and extending into the front bar of the cabin. Or is the 'crack' along that front bar just a split line?

[@carlroge]

You've got a keen eye 😊 yep that's another crack. Hopefully we'll sort that too when we come to do the king post

[@OldBoldGuy]

Big job, lot's of labor, just kind of surprised you didn't do anything to expand the strength of the area where the boom cracked. Expected to see some sort of doubling plates to spread the load !!!

[@ajones8699]

Extra steel was added, its a common fault on these lighter machines from jcb to have fatigue cracks in this area its just not built to a quality but down to a price.

[@themomorain]

Wow I really like the old barn that the digger is parked in. Looks really cool

[@chrisfarris2594]

I'm 4:24 in and seeing those cracks. Fixing the cracks first then plates on the inside and outside will fix the issues.

She (digger) gives you work, you'll show her some love. That's the right way. Love the channel and enjoy watching you and your father work together. Just found you recently. I need to re-pin and bush my 4T mini....not looking forward to it. Thank god you didn't have to line bore for oversized bushings/pins everywhere! Have you ever checked the slew ring gear/slew motor gear grease bath? Just tossing it out there as it seems that area is often overlooked and can cause very very expensive repairs.

[@bertiesworld]

Re: the king pin. Whenever anyone says they'll replace an item later, I have to ask the question, what year? Unless there is a maintenance schedule being followed to the letter, experience says it will never happen. And always best to replace Nyloc nuts, rather than re-use old ones. Bit late I know but I find a small hydraulic press far better to use than hitting bushes, bearings and the like with a hammer. But you got there! Well done.

[@reprapmlp]

Regarding bushes, in the absence of a press I've used a vice. As for "later", sometimes you just have to delay a job as a more-urgent use for the machine comes up (can anyone say "soil must be moved for planting sooner than the full pin-and-bush-replacement could be finished"?). It's essentially the same as pushing past the pain, or using the battle-override. And Carl actually *has* the new kingpin and bushes ready.

[@Tom89194]

If you pack the bushing in dry ice, they often FALL into the hole or only take light tapping. However, you have to be fairly fast and make sure you don't jam it at an angle. I use this trick on small and large bushings and even if you still have to tap on them it doesn't take much force. When rebushing the bucket end of the stick on a 45 ton excavator you can't get a lot of parts into a press (if you even take them off the machine in the first place

[@joegodfrey549]

Ah the secret to Nylocs is to whack them with a hammer and compress the nylon, that's the proper farmer's way the nut's fine it's just lost a bit of nylon, giving it a thump flat on top on a bench and it's as good as new. By the way it's not just farmers it's pretty much anyone

Next time if you need to put bushings in, get some canned air that is used for spraying dust off of computers and turn the can upside down and freeze the bushing, which will make it shrink a little bit and it will go in much smoother. Hope this helps in the future.

Back in the 1980s, a friend bought a VW Golf that had been set up for road rallying. After a few weeks he discovered the body shell was literally cracking up due to stresses that a normal road car might never see. He ended up buying a new body shell but he never got around to doing a full rally prep.

[@Rwecosher]

Did you freeze the bushes first? Go in easy if you do. Does the boom stay fully extended for a long period if you leave it? Wondering if oil is passing the seal making it slower on the way up against load.

[@cragybar]

I'm also pretty sure those bush holes aren't meant to be in line so it forces the grease through the track in the head and around the whole bush rather than just out the one single hole for path of least resistance? Maybe I'm wrong but jcb always had them offset ..

[@lwilton]

The up cylinder being slow and the top of the cylinder getting hot probably means that you have air in the cylinder. The air is being compressed, which generates heat. Since the space the air takes up also has to be reduced as the pressure increases in the cylinder the cylinder will be slow. That may be a problem with other cylinders as well, since I didn't see you prefill the cylinders or do any bleeding.

[@kaylajason8917]

With the hydraulic cylinders being singles, I would say check the actuator settings for that circuit. Most you can adjust the pressure settings. You might have not noticed it before with all the issues and seal leaks. Another might be that when installing the seals. If the seal on the cylinder's piston has a bad lip on one side pressurized fluid can pass to the other side bleeding off pressure. Putting pressure on the other side will stop the leak as the lip (if it too isn't damaged) is now stopping any leak/flow to the other side. Most hydraulic cylinders that can be pressurized in both directions have a double lipped seal so that pressure forces the seal against the cylinder wall on the pressure side and merely slides on the other. One clue to the seal condition might be motor sound when the slide is at full retract or full extend. When a hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of travel pressure goes to max and motor sounds more labored. You can also usually hear the sound of the pressure relief valve bypassing fluid. Kind of like when you turn your steering wheel to one side limit or the other and hear the power steering pump bypass fluid. Try holding the switch down in both positions. If you don't hear a change in the pump sound when it reaches the full out position it's POSSIBLE you have a bad cylinder.

You show that even an amateur can do big things if you are careful about the little things. I don't mind DIY done by amateurs that do their work with care and concern about the important things. It may not be done the easiest or best way, but still done well. Keep up the videos. PS I'm no hydraulic expert but judging from the old work done on the hoe I would guess they worked on the valves and messed it up.

Seeing that general lube grease. Start using Valvoline Full Synthetic grease spec. NLGI #2 GC-LB complex lithium EP grease for high load fittings. I use it on the replacement front suspension ball joints of my T1N Spinter MBenz and at 150K miles there is very little wear. Part number VV986 for 1 lb. can of it. There is a spray molly that Fisk Brothers makes for us in America and I used that on a 520 Oring chain 250CC twin with fantastic wear over 15K miles.

[@paulgriffin7432]

Have not had time to read through all comments but the boom cylinder heating up is most certainly caused by fluid bypassing the rod piston. if it's only happening in one part of the cylinder then the cylinder is worn. Typically wear occurs at the end of the cylinder at max extension.
