Good bore welder, I own one just like it. I prefer the Climax BB-5000 boring setup. But when installing bushings I freeze them in liquid nitrogen and slide them in instead of dragging them in. The nitrogen freeze will draw the bearing down .001 for every 1" in diameter of the bushing.

Holy Smokes! How did I miss this one? Using a field mounted horizontal mill? (work stationary, tool moves, I guess that's what it is.) to bore over a yoke(?) for bushing replacements. Then uses a bore welder (never heard of one) out in a field in Mississippi! That's some interesting as heck stuff!! Kudos to you and Mr. Lee. Ethan, have you ever heard/seen anyone use liquid nitrogen to shrink a slightly lager pin/bushing then hammer it in place for a field repair such as this one? I guess there are many downsides to that approach, I saw this once on YT it was a pin for a lock gate on a ship channel, and thought how neat is that! However, you get one chance to get it right. Anyway, thanks for posting these.

Mighty fine, I've done pins and bushes after they get wore out more than a few times, but never so bad that we HAD to re-bore, did you ask how much that tooling cost? We used to go across town with a cooler and get dry ice and liquid nitrogen. Really not that exotic, put the bushes in to freeze for a couple hours then hey press-to. Cooler insulation gets eaten up by the cold, looks like it was burnt, doesn't seal after. Great video.

And I didn't have those alignment cones to set the boring bar bearing locations. That automatic MIG is pretty awesome. It's without a doubt the nicest setup I've seen.

Great video. Why build it back up with weld? why not just make the bushing thicker?

@EEJester1586 4 жыл бұрын

You can do that. The only problem with making a bushing is you will weaken the housing boss a lot. Seen whole bosses bust because of a bushing. Weld is a part of the boss from now on.

@cybersylo5786 4 жыл бұрын

@@EEJester1586 Thanks, I didn't think of that. Would braising a new bushing on so the piece was completely bonded be an option? Would it weaken the boss less if building up wasn't an option?

@EEJester1586 4 жыл бұрын

Cybersylo welding it in would be better than just a press fit. How much meat you have left in the old part of the housing is the real deal on how much you can cut out if welding it up isn’t a option. I would say no less than 3/8” (10mm) from the outside of the housing would be safe on most Applications if it’s not a high pressure place like this boom stick would need more like 3/4” 19mm. It really depends though.

When replacing isn't a option, and going through all this to fix, a man considers what is happening on the end of the boom. I know those bushings are not easy to replace but before the eye gets eaten up with abuse, it is cheap for the cost to stop and fix. I believe if the job had to be done, I would rent another machine and spare my own from going that far. I don't know the circumstances and ain't making a judgement call on something thousands of miles from my armchair. I have had to have stuff fixed after renting my machine out and it wasn't even close to bad but no grease killed it in no time. Man learns to get a real deposit on stuff and then they have a dog in the fight. I haven't been on a computer for a while but if I remember right, your a mechanic and not a owner operator. Please don't let me offend you as I am just chattering... good luck on this job

@EEJester1586 4 жыл бұрын

It’s hard to see how much they are wore without taking it apart or it breaking I don’t know if you noticed there was a thumb on the bucket and 9/10 on the time the left side is the bad side of the stick. It’s from pulling trees and the like. Thumbs kill the bushings very fast even with fair maintenance on the machine. They put stress on them that they were never designed for.

@morgansword 4 жыл бұрын

@@EEJester1586 Hmm, I wasn't aware of that. I have had a fixed thumb and a hydraulic thumb on both or different machines I bought that were considered surplus meaning one the hour clock didn't work and the other didn't have one. It was a crap shoot on both but only paid scrap price for them so couldn't lose a lot. I caught the one in time and the other was made parts. I did see the thumb on the machine. The worst part for me was having a crew so I didn't spend much time on any one thing plus I was the only guy who could run a cable machine which was a real good machine... the name won't come to me. I apologize if I offended as that wasn't my intention at all. Being 72, I more of the nosy neighbor type and get in the way on new stuff
