This video is a job we did to repair the worn out main pivot positions on a tilt bucket and hitch for a Komatsu PC350 Excavator. This shows the step by step process to repair the bushing positions by line boring and bore welding using our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable line boring machine. After the positions are repaired we install the new flange-faced bushes using liquid nitrogen. We also show the steps to do a floating pin upgrade on the bucket then complete the job by putting the hitch and bucket together and install the floating pin.
In this video we are using:
- Sir Meccanica WS2 Portable line boring machine
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- Hafco TM-27120G Lathe
- Hafco TM-1740G Lathe

Hello Kurtis from a warm and sunny South Africa. As a learner-welder I truly enjoy videos of guys welding with top notch finishing...you rank amongst the top in my books. I dream of being able to weld the way you do. And of cause the other highlight of your videos is when the safety officer🐶 gets gifts....he is almost human like when he cant wait to get his gifts😂. Wish the two pitbulls I have were so disciplined....mine are just rascals

Hi Curtis, this is your French friend living in Massachusetts USA. For some reasons this vid is probably my favorite of all. I’m always impressed by all the stuff you use and every types of things you can repair or even build. Question: when you weld, I never see you hardening the metal after. But, tell if I am wrong, welding makes the metal not hard anymore right? Then it’s less resistant, is it correct?

@HarryP457 2 жыл бұрын

I always extremely impressed in that you rarely just fix an item you've been given, you are nearly always adding a upgrade that will prolong the life, increase the performance, or extend the service interval of that item so that the customer always gets back something that is better than it was when new. The way you run your business is incredible and the service you provide is top notch.

That is a lot of set-up and fixtures...... Enjoy watching the set-up and check and recheck of cutting. Enjoy Kirtus explaining what he is doing, even the repeats. Great videoing and editing, always tells the story very well.

Thanks for the application shots that show the item in action. It makes it much more interesting for those of us not in the mining/heavy grading industry.

Great upgrade to loader bucket. Do you ever work harden any of your tooling or bushings with liquid nitrogen to extend wear?

I love the way you get to weld the mounting bolts right to the work, I've never been able to do so. Of course my boring is considerably smaller. Homeless always adds some needed levity to the day. Thanks for always an interesting bit of work repairs.

Beautiful job, the explanation was amazing! Thank you so much guys! Your channel has inspired me in pursuing a personal passion of turning pens, I’m gonna start a channel for me and my dad to show our work! God Bless you Kurtis and Karen and as always, give homeless a scratch for me! Have a great weekend!

Awesome repair better than new , the paint is a nice touch. Just wondering does the id of the bushing change much after install and what is the interference fit? Thank you but your hand going into liquid nitrogen makes me nervous 😬 🍺🍺

Hey mate when the bushes are manufactured the ID is machined slightly oversize so once it's been fitted the ID is a neat fit to the pin. There is a 0.12mm crush tolerance

Nice that you can park your helicopter near the door. I know it's yours because it's the same color as the work shirts. That and Homeless is comfortable around it, as long as he doesn't make it a chew toy.

Loved the repair as always, you do very good work, as if you were fixing your own. Thats how to satisfy your customer. Hopefully the OEM sees your solution and uses this in their new buckets.(If they are smart enough) that is...
