We’re fixing a critical component for a big mining truck and we’ve got a different approach that might raise some eyebrows! We’ve got a dog bone linkage off a Caterpillar 785 haul truck; the bores are a little worse for wear and need to be reclaimed. We'll be setting the part up on our Zayer bed mill and using our shop made adapter with a Wohlhaupter boring head to machine out the worn bores. Then, to save some serious time, we're keeping the part right where it is and using our Zayer mill's head to setup the line boring mounts ready for welding. Now, here's where things might get interesting. We're using our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable bore welder to weld those bores vertically while they're still on the mill. Some folks might have a different approach, but we're all about efficiency! Once the welding is done, it's back to machining the bores to exact specifications and cutting in the snap ring grooves. We'll then drill in the grease ports, pop those snap rings in, and use our 150-tonne hydraulic press to press in the spherical bearings. Hit that subscribe button and join use to see our unique approach to bringing this part back to life!
In this video we are using:
- Zayer 3500BF Bed mill
- Sir Meccanica WS2 portable bore welder
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- Metalmaster HPM-150T Hydraulic press

Can you explain how filling the weld shows how machinable the parent material is rather than how you can machine the weld (whatever composition the wire, stick electrode, or filler rod is)

The welding setup is definitely an interesting feature of the job! Like you said, you're your own boss, and it's your time, your tools, and your responsibility to the customer. You're accountable to yourself, and if you're satisfied then unless anyone has wisdom that can help you, you can do it however you see fit. I think it's pretty ingenious, and saves so much on setup time, that must have a massive advantage.

What impresses me most and hits me in the heart the most is the partnership between Kurtis & Karen. I have been self employed with my partner Christine for over 30 years and the success we achieved was due to the efforts and complementary skills both of us had. In January she passed away after a 3 year battle with cancer 😢 Now it's just myself and 2 dogs. All the property, machinery, tools etc I have or could desire could never make up for the loss of the one you loved and worked with for such a large part of your life. Treasure every moment you have together Kurtis & Karen, (along with Homeless), they'll be the best times of your life. Running your own business on your own is no fun. No one to do the admin, correct your mistakes, be there when you fall or hurt yourself doing something risky, get in the way with a camera and giggle at everything 😀 Take care and keep up the good work on your channel. Don't mind me if I shed the occasional tear.

When I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012, I was a one man band doing radio station maintenance for 12 stations across sw Ontario. After surgery, I couldn't safely drive for about six weeks. My wife of 50 years married at that time, drove me all over the place and while I did the work, she sat in the truck, or station if there was space, and did her knitting. She passed, suddenly, at the beginning of Covid, maybe one of the first cases, we dont know for sure. 55 and a half years we'd been together.

@brentbosworth8845 3 месяца назад

You asked for my thoughts... and it's just that. As a Machinist all of my career and now retired, You do very well as a jack of all trades it seems like. I see that maybe the distance between the bores doesn't matter much? As you did one bore at a time. FYI, if it was a critical part, you could line up the bores on the part to a slot in the table with pins so it will be parallel with the "X" dimension on the table. Then center the 1st bore and use the dimension given to be sure the 2nd bore was correct. Remember, these are my thoughts, don't shoot me :) Love watching you work, and the birds, dog, and your wife's edits at the end is great ! LOL

For all the customers who's job's feature in these video's , they get a unique record of the work carried out and get to see first hand Kurtis's attention to detail , and craftsmanship also .

After I retired I took up model engineering. The scale of my work is world's apart from yours, Kurtis, but I have learnt a lot from your explanations of why you do things the way you do. I get a kick when I guess right the way you are going to do a particular job - you've taught me well! Before I retired I was a TV cameraman. Karen, you always have the right shot at the right time, not a skill that every RU-vidr has! Your framing and editing is excellent. Both of you, keep up the good work!

This is the absolute best start to my Friday mornings, here in South Africa. Your guys' video style is something I aspire to for my own channel, but I am still soo far away from having the confidence and the skills, at least your bloopers at then show that it is not always as natural and smooth as it seems in the final edit.

Since the first video, I've been waiting for Curtis to do this type of work on the milling machine. We had a similar setup, but with an insulated machine table and stand for the welding machine, which we could bolt to this table. Ideal for equalizer bars. Thank you both for the great Videos and Greetings from Austria (Europe).

The tool holder for the snap ring groove totally looks like the head of a duck-billed platypus :) At least to people who have seen more Perry the Platypus, than the real deal. Thank you for the video, and have a nice weekend.

The Zayer mill really performed well , l think you provided all the best protection possible while welding there are always critics, I used to tell the critics ,”Doers get things done watchers are paralyzed by worry and therefore become critics”! These are industrial machines, yes you look after them but you use them up over time, and therefore the ultimately are consumables. I did significant engineering on 5 continents in my career and was successful because regardless of the circumstance , it got done safely on time and to industry standards. You are doing it right I think!

Even if a big spark dropped onto the milling table, and managed to get through the splatter spray ... it wont hardly stick ... that's why welding tables are made out of cast-iron. Really saved a lot of time on this job!!
