Question on why cut and damage the link? Why not lance the pin with the torch use a quality C frame press?
@BluTechEquipment 26 күн бұрын
This is a common way we have done it, sometimes when splitting I won’t cut into the pin that way I can reuse it and weld it back in place. Track presses are tens of thousands of dollars and maybe only really need it twice a year when we do new undercarriages. These field repairs haven’t failed us yet, KISS.💋
