Replace CRACKED End on Equalizer Bar for CAT D10 Dozer | Welding Fabrication

We need to replace a cracked end on an Equalizer Bar for a Caterpillar D10 Dozer! This equalizer bar is off an older model machine which commonly fail and crack through the grease ports of the bar ends. So to avoid the crack happening again we are going to replace the end with a new one that we made in a previous video! First we cut off the broken end of the equalizer bar using our UniMig straight line gas cutter and also bevel cut to weld prep the shank. We then fit, align and tack weld on the new bar end before setting it up in our power tilt welding positioner for easy rotating as we weld the end on. After the welding is complete we make it look pretty using our 9” inch angle grinder and grinding discs. To complete the job we use our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable line boring machine to finish bore the end to suit a new bearing.

In this video we are using:
- UniMig CG30 Straight Line gas cutting machine
- Makita 2400W 9” inch Angle Grinder
- WIA Weldmatic 500i Welder
- Weldmac WHP-2.5 Power tilt positioner

I hope there is a 15/16 year old that finds your videos, and somehow it sparks a passion to want to learn these skills. I grew up in this environment but ended up end aviation. 30 years ago being 5’9” and 140 pounds was not going to work out too good with dealing with heavy parts but CDE videos has shone me that having a shop with the right equipment makes all the difference. This RU-vid channel is golden. This guy is “A” rockstar for repairing heavy equipment. His knowledge and skill is on the same level as any surgeon or lawyer. Most people have no idea what knowledge is required to do this kind of work. I hope the people of Australia know what a treasure they have with this gentleman, his bride and Pitbull.

I used to work in power station maintenance. Pressure welding in boiler grade steels needs special attention usually a lot of preheat >200 degs C followed by post welding stress relief where it’s heated much higher and cooled at a specific rate. This is a 500 megawatt boiler steam header but it is still a big lump of metal. I’m interested that it’s not stress-relieved after welding.

My brother and his ex wife retired from there more than a dozen years ago, and I’ve had many friends and their parents who worked there when I grew up in Euclid. Not sure if you are aware, but Euclid and Terex earth moving equipment got its start directly across the street from Lincoln Electric's headquarters plant. ThenEuclid plant always had their latest earth moving equipment on display under their sign on the corner of St. Clair & E222nd streets. It was an inspiration for many young men to become operators of those vehicles. Great businesses that provided jobs and opportunities for thousands of families over the decades.

@dc85337 Год назад

A suggestion, if I may. Make a 6 to 8 point trammel arm. It can run on square stock, round stock, I-Beam, your choice. It can be used to find the exact hole placement by indexing the 2 edges of each hole. By running a thin line across the part, it can then be re-indexed to index the new part. The bad end can have a cross indexed trammel on it and it will index the hole front to back and left to right. By using this it will give you a much more accurate placement of the new part.

Bloody spot on. Love your videos. My dream job. Kurtis, your precision and knowledge is just amazing.

@bostedtap8399 Год назад

Great job both, fantastic photography Karen, and great direction as well 😀 👍 Very clever on the weld positioner, definitely saved a load of mauling, weld run off plates worked perfect. Thanks for sharing, always learning, even at 60 years young.

@mictaylor9531 Год назад

Awesome as always! Great seeing some new kit being used on the channel. The straight cutter and the positioning machine! Never even knew such things existed 🔥👌🏻🍻

I’m not a machinist but I love to learn and see how things are repaired and made. I have many hours watching your channel. Also the outtakes at the end always leaves me laughing. My thanks to you and Karen!

Work smarter not harder to springs to mind with using the rotator. Watching anyone good at there craft is a pleasure

As for grinding discs here at my workplace, we use Tyrolit for carbon steel, aluminium and stainless steel, they also use 3m scotch-brite shaft mounted bristle disc, just to remove any blue coloring on the welding surface area, mostly used by pipewelders.

Welcome back! Great video as usual!! I've heard oxy-acet called a 'gas axe' but this video really drives that home. Holy crap - such massive welds. Cracks me up with your outtakes at the end. LOVE to hear your wife giggling at you.

Great job- as always! Was having flashbacks when you set up the track on the forklift... A mate of mine back in the mid 80's did the same.. but left the messer griesheim 'quicky' running while he was looking for something and cut off one of the forks! Was a big firm, we managed to find another tyne from somewhere to replace the one we had cut.... none of the managers noticed... Was a bit different back then- It cost us a few pints for the other welders to keep stumm!!😂

Have just watched this video and the ‘Broken Bail Arm’ video. I am mightily impressed with your skills and how watching you tackle these repairs is just so interesting. You also seem to possess every bit of kit or specialist tool that any one could wish for … so well done to you for building up such an impressive collection. Good to see you have just had a bit of a break … hope you treated your ‘camera gal’ misses to a good hols … she does you proud with her camera work … even makes you look handsome in some shots … so she must be good … LOL 😃.

Machinist extraordinaire. Your expertise and craftsmanship are incredible. One of the most entertaining channels on RU-vid for gearheads. I love it.

@billabernathy1541 Год назад

I'm glad you are back!! I recommended your channel to a friend that is a high school welding instructor - he probably already watches you. His students would benefit from the your excellent explnations of the "what, how, and why" - I know I do. Keep up the excellent work, and kudos to your excellent video photogapher. Cheers from HOT Texas.

Hey Bill thanks for recommending the channel glad you enjoy it enough to share with a welding instructor! Cheers

@robertd5674 Год назад

Awesome work as usual! Curious if when things like this come in , do you ever recommend to have the other side done at the same time to minimize downtime in case the other side cracks later on?

Holy cow that first machine blasted right through that thick bar! It's nuts!

@Just1GuyMetalworks Год назад

That be the apprentice's grinder! 🤣 They learn to respect the little ones better when they know they've got a big brother 🤣🤣🤣. Man that torch is pretty beast. That had to be at least 4 bananas thick 😃. Great video guys 😊. I just love how you do everything right. Even the trivial things like putting your forks flat on the floor is refreshing lol. Thanks man 👍😁👍. Cheers!

You always make it look so easy. I do some welding and it never looks as good as yours. But I'm sure you have thousands of hours and hundreds of kilos of wire under your belt. Well done!

@@pierrevalette9721 I've seen welding done so well they are "weld porn." Just amazing. Wire brush it clean and paint it. Kurtis does that kind of weld.

Missed you last week,glad you were ok. Thanks for the tutorial on welding different metals together. I did not think you could cut metal that thick with oxy but it did it with ease. You won't see that end back again but it is a wonder they did not get you to do the other end at the same time.

@Sjors_23 Год назад

I wonder how much Karen have learned through out the years working with Kurtis. One thing for sure they are both great at doing their respectful jobs!
