I post videos highlighting my experiences with excavation, machine repair, machining, welding, and much more. I also plan of posting videos this spring of our farming adventures as well as running our tile plowing business. With my channel, I want to highlight that if I can do it, anyone can do it too. This channel takes inspiration from the popular RU-vidr Andrew Camarata and his daily adventures around his shop and businesses. We are a young bunch of people, that are interested in running our own business, as well as having fun with our skills and knowledge.
Did the same thing to remove dry cylinder sleeves on a 318 Perkins 4-cylinder Diesel. Factory had special puller to remove, very difficult and expensive. Thanks for reminding me to also use it to remove bushings 👍
That's Awesome how are you getting the depth it also looks like your not using auto steer I'm interested to know because I am setting up one on a older bulldozer.
Im sure arc marks all over that previously smooth surface is proven too😂 you can make video's without accusing all of youtube being clowns. If you have to do that you should be sure you dont f up everything 😂
I have been running a torch for years. I believe the torch I best for removing bushings. When the torching done it will be in two pieces with no harm down to the bore
I went to a truck parts and tools store once to buy a puller to get a stuck bearing race out of a bore. It was really stuck, tried everything and almost all the edges were a puller might grab were chipped off so i decided with pain in my wallet to buy a dedicated bearing puller for this repair. And the good ones are expensive... I explained my problem and told the old man behind the counter i needed this tool. he said to me: "i can sell it to you right now for 200,- but ill know something better; you got a welder? Then go back to your shop, weld a circle around the inside and you will tap it out with ease" went back to the store a month later for some parts and sadly the old man passed away 3 weeks after my visit so i couldnt thank him anymore.
@@estephanyolmos255 the man was somewhere in his 80's, apparently he got sick and within a couple of days it was over. Thats all i know. And i think he was a great granddad indeed, when he passed away his children and grandchildren(who run the parts shop now) made a table in the shop with pictures, flowers, candles and a book were people could write their colondeances.(and there were lots of writings in the book)
Of course! I got them from a friend who works at a local dealer. They replace them with more complex ones with auxiliary switches/buttons when they add more functions. So he got them before they were inevitably thrown out. I will talk to him about the particular model, but I believe Komatsu has a universal joystick.
First machine I ever ran was a Southbend 12" you got a nice one, taper attachments great to have. Fing an Aloris style tool holder you will love it. I started in 1971 retired in 2012 now I make parts in a 10" heavy.
Despite being the only lathe I have ever really run, I really do like it. I really like the "clutch" to engage the power feed rather than the on and off levers that you find most often. I personally have not cut tapers with the taper attachment yet. This particular machine came off of a navy ship and has definitely been used over the years. We are currently looking into replacing the headstock bearing as it is starting to chatter and making it hard to get a good finish. We have talked about an Aloris-style tool holder but the degradation of that headstock is keeping us from putting too much into it. Especially with the lack of work to do locally. I really appreciate the comment and the view.
Torching the bushings works fine, the bore dose not get hurt if you do it right. I cut the bushings on both sides in a couple minutes, no damage to the bore
Honestly, I didn't think anyone was looking for more content. I have some footage from late last summer on some farm projects that I did. The problem is, the videos felt a little incomplete. I think I'm just gonna edit them and post them up anyways. Thanks for watching and holding me to some more content.
justin dont pay mind to these people running their mouth alot of people do only one thing and think they are god at it i have a channel and sometimes here the same crap difference is i do a lot of different things and you cant be god at everything i for one liked what you did and i have to replace some in my excavator so thankyou for showing this
I appreciate your comment. People will always find any excuse to put someone down on the internet. But, they are not the ones putting themselves and their skills out there. You earned a subscriber from me, I love the odds and ends you do on your channel. I am glad that my video helped you out, and I hope to post more content soon. Thanks.
I will post one sooner than later. I have more work to come on it when the season is over. We are also looking into buying a bigger one. Maybe some more coming down the pipeline!
In my experience freeze bush but don’t heat the eye, heating can tighten the hole and more importantly it defrosts the bush too fast (u might not jack a tight one in quick enough).
Good luck to you as well. Having a machine shop at my disposal makes these jobs affordable. I actually could buy lots of parts from bobcat, but I made them with scraps.
ok, i have disassembled my entire 580b backhoe, the main top pin and bushing were about 10 more minutes from eating into the metal past the bushing, the top pin has about 20% of the metal gone, deep gouge groove. tomorrow I attempt to get the main bushings out, they are 51.02mm ID x 63.5mm OD x 31.8mm L and 51.02mm ID x 63.5mm OD x 38.1mm L. I was going to try the weld all inside them to shrink using my mig. instead, i am going to try this method, and see how it goes. i have already tapped on them, and pressed a little bit with a home made rig, they are in there. will report back on how it goes.
