Bore welding and line boring a dozer blade C frame and installing on a John Deere 700J 

When Kevin spun the camera around, he looked like the Unabomber with gold rimmed shades.

You guys made a dozer out of a tractor. Great job guys! 👍😎

Line boring and welding? For a second I thought I'm at the *CEE Australia* RU-vid channel... 😁😁 No seriously, I think CEE is right up your alley. Kurtis does repair jobs that others have failed or deemed impossible. He's a master at the lathe, line boring machines, honing machines, welding, gauging, Bridgeport. He does all sorts of repairs for mining equipment like graders, excevators, compactors. He even can rebuild hydraulic cylinders up to D9 dozers and 400 ton haulers. Heavy metal in the truest sense. 🤘🤘

Good video ...liked the line boring......Stay safe and see you on the next one

Onfire welding does a lot of line boring on cat equipment, maybe ask him what he uses, he’s an American guy, all his tooling arc seems to be top notch.

When you loosened the hydraulic hoses it sounded like after i eat taco bell 😂😂😂

KEVIN'S NEW ELCAMINO LOOK ROLLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LOL THANKS GUYS 😅😮😅

A machinist a I were in Texas on the side of a highway line boring inside a crane that was working on a bridge job, you talk about cramped up in behind the operators compartment! Welding up the bore and then having to help the machinists set up the boring machine! And this was start to finish like most of our jobs Clint! Everything was always an emergency rush job, and there was no going home and coming back! 2-3 hours to get there and we would work until the job was done! We’ve spent 20-30 hours on jobs back in the old days before OSHA was activated! Since I was driving the welding rig, that meant I was always the one to drive the machinist and I home afterwards! Lots of tiring hours driving back to the shop! I don’t miss any of it now that I’m retired but all of my body aches and pains now! Surgeries and recovery’s for the last 10 years now but I think all of that is done now! Just part of my lives work history in line boring jobs! Yall take care! 🙏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻🙋🏼

That bushing is like a hotdog down a hallway. 🤣🤣

Clint, since I worked in a big machine/ fab shop, we always had factory reps come and demonstrate different machines and options! You might want to check out commercial portable line boring machines! I don’t talk to my bosses anymore because the son in law took over the shop and he and I never saw eye to eye, other words he was a Prick my age and I actually started working there a year before him and he was a machinist and I was a welder! He was married to the owners oldest daughter! So I don’t contact them at all anymore! But research the portable application machines! Our machine shop has a machine that can swing a 9 foot part, it’s freaking huge and it layed in the floor so all you see is the turn table! Pretty big operation! Gulf Machine Shop in Lake Charles! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 One of the Catapillar dealership’s is right next door to the shop!

That hydraulic line was like the morning after Pabst blue ribbon drunk.

When Kevin spun the camera around I fell over backwards in my office chair. You shouldn't shock us like that LOL

Why is time laps sledge hammering so dang funny

Kevin always the star of the video! Working with that heavy iron fingers get cut off in a hurry!😮

That hydraulic hose sounded like it had a BAD case of diarrhea!!! Lol!!!

cool vid... that "big red" fork lift is no joke ..

Tucker can fix anything. He is the MAN!!!

There's nothing wrong with that blade, that is the Linda Lovelace edition!

There is never a dull moment here , y’all keep me laughing.

On that drive motor heating up if you were running it on 110 that could possibly be why. Especially if you were on the end of an extension cord. If it can be rewired or replugged to run on 220 it would probably run cooler. Double voltage half the current. Most stuff from over the pond were set up to run on 220. Great video as usual.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Kevin has left the building.

Really enjoyed this 2 parter. Generally enjoy your other vids as well. I watch a lot of another channel called CEE Australia as well. So this was right in my wheels house. Thank you!!

Nicely done Mr C and Kevin 👍😎🇺🇸

Did I hear Mason was going to be an Electrician? Good for him. Great to see young men getting into the trade Ive spent the last 41 years in. He’ll make a good one. Kevin. I need a pair of those shades. TCB BABY. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Clint, Europe and UK use 3 phase power converted at 380/415 volts at 50 hertz or cycle speed. It is likely that you might need a phase converter to correct the voltage and raise it up to match the 415 v. US 3 phase is typically 308v at 60 hertz. The simple solution would be to talk with a local electrician who knows the conversion process and see what the best solution is.🤙

The thing I see in your business is the integrity, you didn’t have to show that corner but you did.

awesome job from Clint and the Boys at C&C equipment

Good day, over the pond they use 220 Volts and with the adapter your using 110 Volts. Cut the connector off and put a 220V 20 Amp plug the motor should run cooler.

C&C Equipment your the best channel out there. Thank you

Very nice Dozer blade placement everything it takes to Mount plus work properly. As usual great job boys Next Kevin magic and Tucker welding on blade all will be like NEW❤

hey guys look up Cutting Edge Engineering Australia Curtis is always line boring something! great video's keep it up!

Great video Clint you and special K make a great team I wish I lived around your area I would definitely apply for a job lol y'all seem like a great group of people to work around

15:35 "It's a Boy"!!! You guys have too much fun.

Impressive repairs! Great job!

Good job guys thanks big Jim

Didn;t look real close at the thumbnail and thought I was going to Cutting Edge in Oz and ended up here!

A good one! Thanks for sharing! 😊👌👍

Awesome bulldozer videos 😊😊 really enjoyed!!

The shades came with the El Camino

Mason has got a head on him like a June bug. Great kit that boy. Treat him well.

Elvis is in the building👍

I spent countless hours lining boring, that was one job I throughly enjoyed. You did a very nice job with it, and I like the adaptors you made up. That’s one thing I found is that one is only limited by the imagination as to how adapt the line bore to fit the project. It was an interesting job for sure. Hang in there Mason, they’re just jealous of ya😊. Thanks for the video and I appreciate your time making them. BTW, we used B&D line bores out of Sudbury Canada, don’t know if they are still in business though.

Kevin in the Elvis glasses!

I think you did a fine bore welding job and a great Boring job. I worked on a line boring machine at KiwiRail for 8 years. welding up some parts of DC traction motors, but mainly reboring them. The traction motors were about four feet long and weighed about a ton, in the stripped-down state, that is with the electromagnets removed. The bull gear shaft was about 6 inches in diameter. The armature bores were about 6 inches, while the flange end was about 18 inches in diameter. Id adjust the cutting tool by having a dial test indicator resting against the cutting tool and with the tool locking bolt slightly loosened and tapping the tool out for a cut. I had a tolerance of plus or minus .0015. inches.

Variable speed inverter driven permanent magnet motors do run a lot warmer than conventional motors especially at slower speeds.

Great job on the line boring and the installing of the blade. You and your staff sure take and make sure every thing is right before machine comes out of the shop. God Bless and please pray for a little 5 year old girl Ava Rigney in the Cincinnati Hospital being treated for cancer. Thanks and God Bless to All.

Thank you, enjoyable watch as always!

Clint, the plug you showed on the line borer was an Australian plug. So it’s set up for 240V and 50 Hz. Although if it’s from Chans it could be anything! 😂

The voltage is DEFINITELY DIFFERENT

Great repair great video thanks Clint and Kevin and Mason

Had to fast forward at the angle grinder too much like the dentist great video as usual keep on keeping on

Man that dozer definitely needed the toilet on that one and then a big mess to clean up afterwards. Great video guys good to see the borehole looked great to bad the motor not that good but it is from over seas. Again guys great video

Nice work guys Although I'm a bit disappointed that Kevin didn't point to the glowing metal and say "You can't touch this" And then whilst swinging the Precision Alignment Tool say "It's hammer time" 😅😅 Nice job guys P. S. The line borer looks like an Italian sold item originally manufactured in China.

Thanks for the video Clint on the 700j , BLADE

As always, another fine video, always wanted to see someone do a line bore.

I thought I saw Elvis at the beginning of the video

👍 Kelvis in the house !!!

The Hertz are definitely slightly different across the pound. My motors often come from Italy and they have different Hertz specifications on them. They seem to run fine but maybe that would make them run hotter.

Elvis is back. In Sweden we have 240 and 380

Everything across the pond in a majority of countries is 240V.

Tucker saved the Day

I'd wach a xideo of you taking apart the portapower to see if you can replace the spring.

Great job keeping small amounts of rubble under control and makes it saleable or reusable. I have been thinking of getting one for a while now. It is a big enough outlay but if you look at it over several years of use and the odd hobb where you can recycle material on site its a good investment. Mayby a piece of conveyor belt rubber mointed from dynamic jaw to the top somehow would keep debris from the ram

Overseas standard outlets are 220-240v and 50hz. I'd say the hertz/frequency is probably the problem with the motor running hotter.

Alright!! Here we go!! Grabbing a pint for this one!! Cheers!;-)!!

UK 🇬🇧 fella from Yorkshire (Snowball Engineering) made his own line-borer - great channel like yours! Watch Wes Work recommended him 👍🏻

Mason is a hardworking young man you can tell he enjoys working with you guys! Keep at it Mason! 👍🏻

Clint, I can tell you from watching Cutting Edge which I also watch you were running the cutter a lot faster than he does, and he will usually make smaller cuts it may take him 4/5 cuts. Just my 2 cents worth P.S. I think Mason does an excellent job for you he acts like a really nice kid

Totally enjoyable video as usual.

in England we use 230 V 50 Hz Another great video

Most European countries use 240 Volt and 50 Hertz in 2 fase, or 380 Volts and 50 Hertz in 3 fase. So set your electricity for these bore welders to those settings and you must get rid off your overheating problems.

2mmcut at a time = 0.0787 of an inch and as you were cutting 0.080 at a time you were working that motor to it max and seeing the speed you were cutting at it was not surprising it was getting hot!

Great video love to see more with that machine

I have seen that done in person. On a 980 bucket and a cat 308 bucket. Both have been rebuilt 2 times.

I always like watching any videos you Ray Charles , Mason and Tucker do. Awesome work guys.

I have heard of line boring but did not know it was so complicated. Integrated welder clever idea.

The noise after the Taco Bell comment had me dying!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Clint I think those stepper motors are made from pure chinesium and destined to break soon. Kevin'you crazy dog, we are so alike it's not funny, it's better we don't meet the world couldn't handle both of us at once. Brilliant video guys.

I bet Curtis at CEE be watching your work.

Hes a sausage link of burning love!😂

"Do NOT go in there !!!!" - Ace Ventura. The thought that went through my head after watching that post-Taco Bell-meal hydraulic explosion.

In the short term, would just having a powerful fan blowing on the outside of the hot line boring motors keep them within their temperature operating range.

I just used the same yellow machine on a c frame for the attachment pins. The most cut I took was .020 and was vibrating like crazy and the motor got hot. It took me three days on those two holes… I worked it pretty good and turned out good

Finally, a dozer video. 😊

Over the pond machinery and tools make it possible for many to afford things like this! I do a lot with electronics and would otherwise not be able to afford many of the tools and supplies that I need and use if purchased from "on this side of the pond companies".

On the line boring equipment. Sir Mechanica out of Italy makes some good equipment. Your motors might be 220 volt 50 hertz that’s what most countries in Europe use for standard tools. Also Kevin scares me sticking his finger in to hold that spacer. That’s a big no no. A guy I worked with did that while putting a set of tracks together and now his finger is about an inch shorter.

I worked in a machine shop/fabrication shop for 37 years, the machinists would go out in the field and line bore different jobs and I would have to hand weld the bores before they machined it out! The company bought a mechanical bore welding machine and it was a whole lot better and easier! Then we got a job welding the I.D.’s of pipe nozzles and that was Inconel, they had to buy a special welding machine for that application!

Kevins Sun glasses would go with trumps golden running shoe😅😅

Love the new look Kev lol. Love it. Stay bless guy's all the way from New Zealand

Great video guys, always impressed with your work. Can get over the size of that fork lift.

They call it Chenglish, and yes they do have different power settings in that country. On electronics there is normally a switch that allows one to change the voltage from 220(China) to 115(US)! Many devices are defaulted to 220 and will let out the magic smoke if you do not change to 115 before plugging in.

Im.sure the noises those lines was making when you took them loose is what Kevin sounds like in tucker and masons ears.....

I worked on Toro loaders. The pins and bushes are fitted using liquid nitrogen . Ja well no fine. I went out to a mine about 20 years ago . They could't change a lift cylinder because the pins were frozen in there , not even a jack could get them out. When I got to the workshop up on surface one genius had already packed explosive around the bottom pin so i moved my truck out of the area and waited for them to nuke it. They did. There was an enormous bang and a cloud of dust and smoke. When it all cleared we went back up to see what happened and the front frame looked like it had been hit by a landmine , but the pin was still firmly in place . They had to get a new machine.

Nice job looks good 👍

Cutting edge engineering and c&c equipment are my two favourite u tube channels one from Australia and one from the USA great shows

As other people have mentioned, Europe runs everything on a higher voltage. So, you likely don't have enough juice running to it making it work harder. I do know the voltage is different between the states and Europe, but I don't know about what frequency it runs at or if their single phase or three phase are similar. If you got an electrician friend, they could probably figure it out.

Yes European power is different than here. They have 50 hz and we have 60 hz. Thier voltage is 220 to our 120 in the house.

Quite an Investment but Sure is Nice to Line Bore In-House, I would Fancy seeing an American Made Line Bore Machine in Action as a Armchair Quarterback Review Categorized under useless Knowledge of Tools I neither need nor will ever buy but I sure do enjoy watching Kevin do all the work😂😂. Appreciate you Gentlemen. I’ll it Catch you in. The next one of the Good Lord Willing. Keep it Safe out there Fellas.

Kevin reminds me of uncle fester from the Adams Family

It will run with following problems for a 50Hz motor running on 60Hz: The core loss will increase and cause over heating of core. As the core loss will increase, the Power Factor of motor will reduce.
