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.

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 KZhead 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!😂

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 😃.
