Guys I am really not trying to sound like an asshole but you need to leave the machine work to professionals, when it comes to mechanical you guys are the best no doubt about it, put all that machine work looked horrible I personally wouldn't have put it on video for everybody to see

I have watched and done alot of work. If it fits the purpose and done well it does not have to look pretty. It needs to serve its purpose. While many may sit and criticize the work , they themselves have accomplished nothing. If you know so much i guess we all should be millionaires. Clint does an excellent job on repairs and works meticulously on getting things fixed. He deserves my respect. He works within his means to achieve alot but also gives the customers peace of mind. If you want a perfect machine then Volvo and deere are happy to serve you.

Kurtus at Cutting Edge Engineering Aust is re; bushing a stick and bucket from a 70 Hitachi excavator at this moment, he is such a PRO at doing these line boring jobs. A one man operation doing such an expert job and he makes it look so easy.

Another successful operation at the C&C animal surgeons. "We specialize in kitties and deer(e)"

Retired utility electrical engineer here. You said running two welders at same time affected weld quality, while one at a time does fine. They are on the same 60 amp circuit off a 600 amp service. It’s likely both welders running is reducing the voltage at the 220 outlets they are plugged in to. The short circuit current of both welders lines up at times resulting in a large voltage drop across the 60 amp circuit wire, especially if it’s a long wire run from the main service panel. A solution may be to run another separate 60 amp circuit from the main panel and split the welders. Another may be to increase the wire size for the existing circuit. I say all this assuming ( you know what that means ) the utility 600 amp service provides rock solid voltage. You might want to ask the utility to confirm your service voltage with a good amount of load running. Also they can confirm the power quality in the building. Wouldn’t be the first time that a rural customer didn’t have rock solid voltage. There are many possible causes. This is simply a place to start. Really like your channel. Great for those of us that love all things mechanical. Keep up the good work.

Clint, just watched Kirtis at Cutting Edge Engineering Australia and he just got done doing on a 70-tonne excavator what you were doing on the 350G with his new WS2 plus line boring system, the video before this was him unboxing the unit with all the accessories that he had ordered with it, thought maybe you would like to see it, Kurtis was pleased with his new purchase.

I have been around machinery and also precision machine work my whole working career. What you did was very acceptable! You are building up an area for a bushing to fit in not a part for a jet engine. That repair you men did will outlast the machine. GREAT WORK!!

How about a history lesson about how you built yourself up to where you are now?

At 20 minutes, you had 2K views. At 1 hour, it shows 5180 views. Peeps are jumping on your videos. I enjoy the learning.

Clint, you all did an awesome job getting all that slop take care of, and for all the work you did, handles a lot better now with no slop with the bucket. Great video!

That was the optional agitator bucket for making concrete. Load your gravel, sand and cement , shake and pour. Good job guys.

KZfaq brings out the good and the worst in people and I’m glad that your viewership has a lot more good than bad with a huge amount of knowledge and wisdom that they pass on, and us oldies love being right 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Got to love Randy, a man of few words, hard working man.

We need more El Camino and we need Kevin to get that mullet going so he can cruise like a BIG dog.

Yeah we want to see that stick and boom hole repaired too, we like watching your sons practice their art too.

The vast amount of equipment required in your industry to repair 'broken' machines is amazing. The knowledge required to use same is a credit to you and the team. Good to see Tucker, Hunter and Mason on the job learning as well. This was a great video.

Night and day difference on that bucket. I hope Mason stays with the business, he has a lot of potential I think.

As always I have enjoyed your latest video. Have also just seen Cutting Edge Engineering where Curtis is doing a similar job albeit on a bit bigger machine. Fascinating to see proper engineering in the modern throw away society. Thanks for sharing.

Clint, you all did a great job welding and line boring this John Deere Excavator. The machine looks and sounds great. After Kevin puts his magic on it the machine will be like new. Great video and very entertaining. God Bless To You All.

I haven't seen that kind of speed since the Benny Hill show back in the 80's. The way Kevin and Mason took the pins out of that machine! LOL!

Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering Australia just did a job where the line boring attachments did not quite fit (by a lot) so he welded flat bar to hold the attachments distributing the hold angles.

Died laughing when Kevin started in on the Jurassic Park song.

NO, Clint, those switch-mode power supplies will run off 50 or 60 Hz, they don't care. The voltage is rectified to DC then charges big capacitors for the rest of the power supply to use. The motors are servo motors that run on DC voltage and would not be affected by a 50Hz input frequency. It's gotta be the idle current setting of the motors on the circuit board, there may be adjustments or it is designed in. Great video BTW.

I've been to Australia at least a dozen times...I even did a bunch of skydiving down under. For me to skydive there...They forced me to bring my own gear...so I did. At the time I was flying the MD-11 Jumbo Jet in the cargo configuration. That worked out great because I was flying between Hawaii and Australia...so I got to skydive in both Hawaii and Australia...what a tuff life. Retired in Florida!

Don't eat the yellow snow Kevin !! 🤣

Line boring is a cost effective solution to loose bushings. On the pins, we used EL50 Chrome plate ( it has a chrome plating flashed on and ground to about a.0015 thickness per side, you can purchase it bar stock or cut to length, thing is, it can wear the bushings faster than the pin, we opted to soften the pin ( 1050 CRR 4140 HT-- HT IS HEAT TREATED and then annealed at factory) and let it take the wear and save the bushings as much as possible, much faster and cost effective to change pins) if you have to machine any material with an EL designation you need to anneal the areas you machine, heat the areas to be machined red hot and let naturally cool to room temp. Any rate that’s what we had success with, just some thoughts and experiences I have gained over 30 years of job shop machining and fabricating. Nice job gentlemen, enjoyed watching, brings back a lot of memories to me.

Clint ……you guys are really “squirrel” minded, but WOW can you fix broken stuff up! Thanks for helping Matt out in Diesel Creek out!

You videos are always great to watch Mason seems so quiet but a hard worker 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I like any video you make on anything! Watch and learn baby! 👍🏻

Good to see the boss getting stuck in to the job😊

What ever field Mason chooses to apply himself in. He is going to excel. Just watching him you can see he takes a lot after his dad. Nice video.

Poor Kevin lol the body lines r mint n the articulating bucket lol yall do amazing work fixing that stuff up

I use to fly cargo jumbo jets internationally. One month I was flying between Hawaii and Australia, with an interim stop in American Somoa...a USA possession. I'm a skydiver. I found out that I could skydive in Australia only if I had my skydiving gear. So the next month I brought skydiving gear and I would skydive in both Hawaii and Australia on my days off. Later I would skydive in Europe as well. I'm 70 years old now and I no longer skydive because of my age. I had a great life, Blue Sky's.

I want to see more excavator videos. Kevin leave Tucker be. One day he might be your boss. Haha. A video of Kevin painting might be interesting for some. Excellent work guys

If you squint it’s mint. Like a hotdog down a hallway. 😂

What no Kevin ice cream! Bummer!😂😂😂😂😂

Just watched Cutting Edge Enginering do the same thing on a stick today. He welded 3/4 flat bar across the end in 2 places to set the boring bar adjusters up on.

You did a fine job! Always enjoy watching you and your team...do the near impossible! Best wishes.

4/11/24..i am not a welder or a machinist but I, age 78, much enjoy watching & learning from the team at C&C. They have a very well equipped shop that does great heavy duty equipment repairs on dozers, trailors & now excavators. Good job Clint! Keep fixin' & filming...your repairs put customer machines back to reliable working status. A+👍✅️💪😊

Plasma cutter is like Dragons Breath!

Ah, those perfectionists over at C&C Equipment... That bucket just had some barely noticeable slop in it, but almost perfect isn't good enough for them. 🙂

Good video-I enjoy watching this type of work and I am glad you left your mistakes in. That's real life and some people edit out all the bad stuff just to make themselves look "perfect". 😉

Good work men…your repairs are always great to watch… keep-up the good work.

You guys are a dying breed. Actually refurbishing bearings and bushings on heavy equipment is getting more rare. Lots of worn out stuff getting cut up for scrap. Glad to see your workmanship.

You do the best you can and your cost effectiveness is a good and always to me you’re thinking of costumer’s overall efficiency of the life the machine and the quality of the work you do spreading so that you can can make a profit and still give customers better equipment that has been neglected by companies and people who are operating it Mr Clint and your men Kevin,Randy,Tucker,Hunter,Jay,to Me you guys are real people doing a hard work and enjoying the outcome of the days work.(most of the time)👍😎🇺🇸 NY

You guys just get better!! Here we go! lol ..! Ya!! Cheers!;-)!!!!

Fantastic job C&C Crew! Kevin, you duh man! Take care and I’ll see y’all down the road…

You guys, I just started watching your videos about a week ago. Wow...I'm so impressed. First I'll say, you've got a heck of a crew. Everybody gets along, very professional, respectful workplace...a place where your Team enjoys to be and has fun. It all starts at the top...and you're really leading by example. Not to say, excellent capability and very broad capability. Keep going....so impressive. I'll watch'm all....

Making excavators great again!!!!!😊

I love watching you guys do what you do. If I could add a tip: when you’re driving a new bushing in that you’ve had in the nitrogen, have you thought about putting a piece of timber (2”-4”) against it and then you can hit it with a big hammer without worrying about damaging it. I know time is of the essence. Just something I’ve done in the past.

Haven't even watched this yet, and I already know I need to say this: "Leave Mason Alone!"

Hey Mr. C what do you dislike worse. Replacing bushings on an oversized backhoe or Kevin’s singing? Lol

I really enjoy your channel! To me, you have the best business, I have always loved working on heavy equipment! Nice work guys!

Good work guys. You all make it a pleasure to watch. All the best.

That was impressive. Most shops twice your size subcontract the boring and welding . And I totally agree with everything you said about the cost of new pins .Great show guys and keep them coming .

Heck yeah! More excavator videos. 👍

Depending on how long your service wires are from utility transformer to your building you may be having a little voltage drop when you really put a load on it. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Lol, The jurassic intro song 😂😂

You guys do excellant work, glad to see sombody doing it right!!😅

I wish I wasn't 70 years old. I'd love to work on all those marvelous beasts. I learn the most clever ways of tackling all those repairs.

Curtiss from CEE was doing a similar job on his April 5 video. worth the lot see.

Starving for juice! Imagine our shop using 20 machines at the same time! Migs, tigs, sub arc, stick machines and arc gouging at the same time! I definitely wouldn’t want to pay the bill for that! lol 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for sharing the video, just brings back a lot of memories for over 37 years! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to yall and your families! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

Great video! Excellent content with a little humor - a great combination! Take care...

Hello to all the guys in the shop, Clinton your guys all rock. I will watch any content you put out so call me a fan.....lol. Keep up the good work Sir.

at the start when you where showing the wobble in pins, the thought of the old saying, "Its not how deep you fish, its how you wiggle your worm that counts" had to laugh at it with you. tough job, thanks for sharing.

I wish I had it to do all over again: I’d get into this kind of work. But I’m 70 and I’m pretty much done. Great work and it much be satisfying to look at a job well done, to say nothing about making a little cash at the same time. Best Regards

Clint - Can Kevin read? lol

Just a great video. I will never have equipment like this but can't stop watching, and I have watched many! Thanks Clint.

You guys are not just a mechanic shop but your Master Mechanic Shop

Hey Clinton, Great job by the whole team! Enjoyed watching! You make the videos - we'll watch them! Thumbs up! Safety first! Jim

Very good job there. I'm a welder and in my youth I worked at a cat repair shop, did similar work that you guys did. Mostly diggerbuckets and frontblades for scrapers. Fun to se your workshop, keep up the good work and the videos comming 👍

Good morning from Oz. Been waiting for this one. Dropped 41 sec ago lol

Your electrical panel needs to have the breaker load balance ! you had a voltage drop when using 2 welders ! Get electrican to move breakers around even load of bust bars voltage and amp load ! 😊But great work !

Awesome project! Thanks for the ride along!

They really dont look that bigger machine until they fill a workshop!! keep it up C&C, nice work.

Great job guys, always interesting, informative and entertaining. Kevin such a goof-ball😂we love ya ✌ Btw, like the new intro and music.

In the machine shop, they would bring the boom in a set them up in the machine and that’s a lot easier and faster! But the machine shop was pretty good size! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

🤣😂🤣Krazy Kevin Kommentation! 🤣😂🤣 he’s hilarious. Clint!👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Again a comprehensive and quality restoration - more complicated than I thought at the start!

We all look forward for your videos!

Great content Clint - Yes you have servo motors on the borer which are supplied and controlled by the box - which nowadays is probably an invertor type - changes your line voltage to a three phase AC output current and frequency to control the servo motor speed very accurately Your welders will cause interference to the line supply especially with single phase, so if you have both welders operating and perhaps the small speed drives you may wish to try connecting one to another box which may help

Clint I like any videos that you and Kevin are in because you never know what kind of shenanigans are going to happen.

Cutting Edge Engineering just put out a video where they did some work on the end of a stick like ya'll were doing. It might be worth checking out how he set up his boring machine, by using metal bars to stabilize the mounts.

You guys did fantastic. Loss pins and joints is not always fixable by bushing renewal. I worked on marine industry and did this type repairs on field and in shop with full time machinest. Regardless it's hard. We used Climax equipment for most of the smaller in place boring but I have also run bars as large as 8" -24'. Good job only suggest getting you liquid N2 in full size cryo bottles, and the use of cutting oil while boring.❤

Good crew working together, always makes for a great job 👍

Love th cutting and welding

Good work team! Each time you do a line boring job you are getting better and more efficient. I would be curious to see how long the welded pin lasts due to different hardness. Maybe you can order induction hardened bar stock might be cheaper than factory made pins from deere.

That's a Bobble Head Deere !! 😮👍👍👍

Meccanica WS2 plus is the good boring machine. It’s the one cutting edge engineering uses.

Just have Kevin recite ASMR mantras as Mason is swinging the sledge.

I have been a heavy equipment mechanic for over 20+ years. I know what you’re going through replacing bushings in pans keep up the good work and have a great day. Big Ed coming to you from Central City Kentucky. We met at Kentucky Expo 2023

Another great one. Loved the sound of the turbo spooling at 53:30.

they make new style pin that replaces some of those pins, pretty new invention

Clint you are a Rock Star on this machinery !

How much play was in that bucket lol! Good job guys!

Hey Clint. Please show the other video of the top pin being replaced. Nice work on this job. thoroughly enjoy your videos. From down under in Aus. Keep safe all.

Squirrel! You guys are hilarious….. nice work at fixing STUFF up.

Kevin singing the Jurassic Park theme...priceless!

Love you guys, another great video of getting things done. I thought the holes in the bucket may have worn out of round but maybe that was not the case.

Always amazing, fascinating, and a privilege to witness the work and knowledge that you have and the work you all do. The humor and talent of you and Kevin and your sons and their developing education and hard work and effort is endlessly impressive. good sir.
