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

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. 🤘🤘

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

Kurtis on "Cutting edge engineering", another creator here on RU-vid, I'm sure could help you with the bore welding machine. He uses it often. He too works on heavy plant out in Australia. like you guy's a very knowledgable bloke.

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

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Kevin has left the building.

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

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

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!

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

Might be that the boring machine was setup for 50 cycle versus 60 cycle electricity. That would make the motor run faster and hotter. Love your videos. Kevin always makes my day.

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

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

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

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

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

Why is time laps sledge hammering so dang funny

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.

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

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.

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. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

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

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❤

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

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

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

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

I thought I saw Elvis at the beginning of the video

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.

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

Elvis is in the building👍

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

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

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.

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

Finally, a dozer video. 😊

Awesome bulldozer videos 😊😊 really enjoyed!!

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

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!!

hello C&C Equipment & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks C & C Equipment Friends Randy

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

👍 Kelvis in the house !!!

Cutting Edge Engineering in Australia has a web site where he does all the line boring plus it's a machine shop, Curtis does a bunch of interesting jobs, great web site.

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.🤙

I bet Curtis at CEE be watching your work.

The shades came with the El Camino

Thank you, enjoyable watch as always!

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.

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! 😂

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.

Great repair great video thanks Clint and Kevin and Mason

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Nicely done Mr C and Kevin 👍😎🇺🇸

I bought a used WS 2 standard line bore machine about 15 years back and never once had a problem with it. I decided upgrade two years ago and got myself the WS 2 plus which give a bunch of extra tooling, stronger motor for deeper cutting depths for increase efficiency etc. You can’t go wrong with any of the WS lines they have. They are costly tho but you definitely get what you pay for with these machines

Elvis is back. In Sweden we have 240 and 380

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.

Thanks for the video Clint on the 700j , BLADE

Kevin in the Elvis glasses!

Nice Vid! (Have Kevin Sign the Elvis Glasses and Auction for Charity)

good job enjoy watching u fix thing properly

Tucker saved the Day

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.

Just like factory!!

A good one! Thanks for sharing! 😊👌👍

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

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

Now Mr. C.......This is how I expect you to be moving forward in Mrs. C videos. Between you and me, you dont play crumpy old man very well!! 😇

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

Cracking that line sounded like severe diaharea!

Hey Clinton, Haven't you learned your lesson with Made-in-China stuff!! Al least you got this job done! Very entertaining as usual with Kevin, Mason, & Tucker! Love the squirting 'fireworks'!! Thumbs up! Safety first! Jim

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

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

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".

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

Nice job looks good 👍

Great job as always!

Great job guys thanks for sharing

Elvis has entered the building

Sausage hands with the Prime Time shades!!! 😂

You guys are amazing! Great job.

As always, another great video

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

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.

I knew it! Elvis is alive!!!😂

never saw line boring/bore welding like that before.....very interesting ...thanks for the video and knowledge sharing!!

A great video from you guys ❤

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.

Great video guys, and thanks for sharing.

Another great video, thank you for sharing.

The voltage is DEFINITELY DIFFERENT

Hes a sausage link of burning love!😂

Great job guys y'all Did It Again excellent
