Great job mate. I’m also considering making the same fenders for my Rocky atm. Just hesitating cause even if it does look amazing, if you crash on it the whole wing will be damage and potentially the body parts close to it. What ms your thoughts on that? Cheers from Belgium
What did you do for a quick coupler? I have a 96’ pc40-7 and want to make my own ditching bucket but the factory pin system is ridiculous to try and swap back and forth
Mine is the Wolverine type from Ritchie bros. It’s filled with oil. I heard the others that they sell don’t put the oil in and customers make the mistake of using grease instead.
@@martingutierrez8003 in the main tube. The eccentric shaft is bathing in it. The fill and level is on the opposite side to the drive motor on the inner housing. Mine has about 50l of heavy gear oil in it. From the user manual TO CHANGE GEAR LUBE 1. Raise the left side (motor side) of the vibratory roller using a hoist and place a 6" x 6" block under the drum and lower the roller onto the block. 2. On the right side of the vibratory roller, place a container (to catch the oil) under the cover plate and remove the cover plate leaving all fittings in place. 3. Once the oil has been completely drained from the roller shaft, remove the block from the left side of the vibratory roller and place under the right side of the roller. 4. Clean the existing silicone from the cover plate and reseal and replace using new adhesive sealant (100 Silicone Rubber). Check for leaks. 5. Remove the breather plug from the cover plate and fill the roller shaft with the amount of 80-90 weight gear lube recommended for your attachment. (See Oil Requirements below.) Replace breather plug with breather pointing up.
thanks for the video , haven't even picked mine up from the auction yet but will be sure to get that drum bearing greased and maybe won't even have to repair mine , hows yours holding up ? i saw the princess auto box in your vid , i'm from moose jaw . where you from ?
I got this particular valve from Princess Auto. It's a Rexroth Bosch L721C116AIOB010, if I got the numbers right. Generically these are called a 6-way 2 position selector valve and they're fairly common and available through most hydraulic supply chains.
Oh the joy of owning previously owned equipment! You're getting your money's worth out of your line boring machine this year, I was hoping to see some action shots on how your setup worked this go around.
Well I didn't film much because there was a lot of muttering under my breath and cussing going on! It took a while to get it to work well this time. I thought it was going to be way simpler than last time, turned out to be way more tricky
Hey love your videos. How are the excavator projects going? I don’t think I could have found a channel more related to my interests. I found it because I’m looking to make quick couplers for my PC200LC-6 and PC40MR-2. I bought them to build an ICF house I just finished. I’m also a machinist in my day job and have a full shop at my new house. Did you buy the quick coupler bucket ears? Do you know what size they are or possibly have a drawing showing dimensions? I would love to cut some out on our waterjet I run at work. Thanks.
Glad to hear SOMEONE is enjoying the content! I don't have any dimensions on paper. I had picked up a lot of a couple Q/Cs at an auction. I had planned to adapt one of them to fit on my pc35, but in the end I decided it was easier to start from scratch. The lot came with 1 set of ears, so I made the hitch to match them, and then punched out a bunch of sets of ears for all my buckets/attachments. I found with my 200 that there seems to be a metric and imperial version for the lugging, so I would check what the buckets you have locally available to you are and build your Q/C to match that. Mind you, if you have a waterjet, you can pretty much do what you want. I can take some measurements if you want, let me know what you need. Also, something broke on the pc200 Q/C so I'll be pulling it off in the next week to weld up. Looks like the weld on one of the lugs broke so it's loose one the thumb/bucket pivot pin. It's super loose in the bucket ear and has worn it out.
My PC40 will be the first I build the coupler for. I’m gonna go with the John Deere wedge style I think. I have the 24” bucket my machine came with and a 18” and 12” that came off a cat machine so they will all get new ears welded to them. I have a guy that is trying to get me actual dimensions from a Deere 50g which is close to the same size. That way If I ever come across one of those buckets it will fit without any modifications. I almost went with the kubota style but you still have to pull that smaller pin which I see people having trouble with. I would rather take a little longer and take out a bolt and remove the wedge. I didn’t realize until I watched your final twist wrist video that your machine only came with the boom swing circuit and didn’t have Aux hydraulics on the boom. I have both and already have a thumb attached. I would love to figure how to build a rototilt since I can have 2 functions. I think it’s possible I’ve seen videos where people have built them. Then once I figure that out I want to build the same setup for the pc200. It has no Aux hydraulics at all. I saw a guy used his track circuits to run his rototilt. Just couldn’t move while switch was flipped to run it. But just used track pedals to run the rototilt. Would take some doing but definitely possible. Thanks for the info. Keep making the videos they are great.
As a retired welder I have to tell you you need to go back to school and learn how to set up a torch. Your job would have been a lot easier had you set the torch up correctly.
@@davidmorrison3100 Grey market shouldn't matter at all for a Komatsu. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I am lucky I have a couple good suppliers that have taken good care of me even though I don't do a ton of volume. Where are you located?
I haven't had the opportunity to try a Helac, but from what I've seen, that to me looks like the ultimate way to go, unless you want to get a rototilt. Good torque and compact. No cylinders sticking out the side like a rototilt or the twist wrist I built for my PC35, and way lighter than what I'm working on here for my PC200. After building the one for my mini, I can't understand how I ever lived without one. You are going to absolutely love yours. After you get a little time in on yours, I'd really appreciate it if you leave a comment to tell me your thoughts about the Helac.
