Building up dump body pivot bores on mine ore trucks by hand, one trick I learned from an old hand was to do the top half first. That way you didn’t have the heat buildup to contend with and you didn’t get the splatter on the bottom weld.

First time I’ve seen anyone using a Climax boarding bar. These are one of the best out there. They make a servo drive unit for these that is faster, slower, and stronger all the way around, and very quiet. I had the hydraulic drive on my unit, then got the servo drive unit for it and never looked back, huge difference.

If you had an old endmill, you can use them as a boring bar. Even index them when a tip gives up. You can also sharpen them on a bench grinder if it's high speed steal.

My only experience in such repairs is watching KZhead videos. But I do have a question that someone watching this video could answer. With the area being so small and this machine being a smaller unit, would cutting a brass sleeve an option? The hole could be line bored to accept the bushing and prevent additional damage down the road. Just a thought I had and was wondering if that would be an acceptable repair

I don’t think it would last because of the small surface area. But technically it could be done.

Could you run that hydraulic borer off the tractor if you were in the field? Or does it already have its oen pump setup that travels with it? Never seen those before so very cool to see. Im loving your channel. Just got hired on at Cat as a welder, hoping to get transferred to their repair department eventually

Have you done a similar situation by blowing out the replacable bushings? If so which way do you find more productive. I don’t have a LB rig so my option is only to blow them out and weld in new.

The complaint that I hear most often from customers is, “ how can I justify charging them the same hourly rate for non-welding/machining work”?
