This video is Part 1 of repairing a broken bail arm for a Caterpillar 637 Scraper wheel tractor. This is the bail arm on a twin drive push pull machine and has quite a bit of damage, it is completely broken in two parts, one of the ends is bent and the bushing position needs line boring. In this part 1 we show the step by step process to prep the broken bail arm for repair including gouging and grinding. We also use our 150 tonne hydraulic press to straighten the bent end before machining a piece of hollow bar that will replace the broken section of the bail arm. Check out the completed repair in Part 2 here: • Repair BROKEN Bail Arm...
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 welder
- HMP-150T Hydraulic press
- Everising H-360HA horizontal bandsaw
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe

The whole process is then filmed expertly with a high quality camera. The host doesn't feel he has to have his face all over the episode and rather lets the machining do the talking. The perfect blend of explanation and action. What's not to like!!
