Another superb video and excellent repair job. It looks as if JCB should have bushed those mounting holes at the factory. Replacing bushes is less of a job than line boring the holes. Thanks for your efforts to share your work. Greetings from Germany.
Love your channel. I am following from Chicopee, Massachusetts. Hope are charging enough for your especially talented work. And that doing so enables you to obtain the equipment and facility you desire.
Nice job there. I agree that mag drills aren't ideal for line boring. I borrowed one from a mate to bore the king post on my mini digger - way too many RPM. I'd been watching Kurtis do enough line boring jobs to give it a go myself.
Great video. Quite a tricky and confined space repair. Love the self made line boring setup with a mag drill and bearing plates. You would of definitely struggled setting up and using a conventional Sir Meccanica system with the drive unit and controller.
What material did you use for the bushings? What rpm does the mag drill turn? It’s nice to see real life jobs, not a RU-vid studio where everything is perfect.
Subscribed. Nice and clear shots show what you are doing. My only ask is as you have a quiet voice I need to turn up the volume but then the music is really loud. Look forward to more vids. Thanks.
An elegant solution to a problem which shouldn’t even exist, if the original design/build had recognised the loading on these points - perhaps the ‘top-hat’ bottom bushing could have a wider ‘brim’ and be held in place with 3 cap screws, just to help if you need to renew the bushes in a couple of years?
Hi AS, hope you're well. Really enjoying your videos. Is this a common problem with this type of machine or do you think this is a case of poor/incorrect material or quality control? Poor maintenance? Maybe impossible to tell actual cause and I suppose fixing the problem better than new is the important thing. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
I cant believe sum have commented on the music...WOW. Nicely done job mate. Did look near impossible but well done. What size did you finish the bush bore? Any alllowance for crush ? Cheers
Starting to see a pattern here of under engineered JCB's. Your improvised tools do the job. That is quite a small mag drill. Could you step up with a bigger better mag drill set up. Rather than the huge cost of a proper line borer. I watch the big dedicated line borers on CEE on RU-vid all the time. With welding attachments and all sorts. Make some big money on RU-vid and then treat yourself. Amazing now how many people live off their video earnings.
Yes, could do. I just used the mag drill we already had for one job and it’s lead to using it more and more. I’ve got a better 2 speed motor with variable speed I’m planning on using to make a more advanced set up. CEE line boring rig is the dream!
great stuff Is it always that cold over there you have to wear winter clothes in a shop? and someone told us that they only use dewalt tools over there.
It’s 18c today 😁 but back in February it was between 0-5c and sometime below, the workshop has no insulation so it was pretty cold. I use dewalt mainly because my local shop sells them but never had any problems.
@@snowballengineering I wondered if it gets cold or if it snows there. I see where vehicles rust there bad like up north so they must put salt on the roads too .
50 seconds is well out of order.... I was going to ask you to repair something in my fleet of plant. But now?? No way.. I'm forever scarred by your music choice.
