Repair Bail Arm BROKEN Into 3 Pieces | Part 1 | CAT 637 Scraper

Рет қаралды 1,481,188

Жыл бұрын

This earthmoving part is completely broken into 3 pieces and we’re going to fix it! This is a Bail Arm off a twin drive push-pull Caterpillar 637 Scraper. The bail arm is used to hook up one scraper to another one in front of it so they can assist each other with taking big cuts. This bail arm has a lot of damage, both ends have broken off and one of the ends is bent. In this Part 1 video we show the step by step process of disassembling all the parts using an air arc gouger and grinding to prep them ready for assembly. We also use our 150 tonne hydraulic press to straighten the bent end before machining new pieces of hollow bar that will replace the broken sections of the bail arm.
WATCH NEXT: Part 2 • Repair Bail Arm BROKEN...
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 welder
- Hafco HMP-150T Hydraulic press
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe

Nah, he just grabbed the first roll of tape he found laying around. And as there's hardly anything fragile in that supplier's shop the tape is probably some cheap-sourced one from some surplus sale or stock sell-off of some company that went belly up. A tape is a tape, and if it sells for a third of the regular price it could have "biohazard" printed on it and no one would care ;-)

@mhbh1979 Жыл бұрын

I agree completely. I think it also serves another couple of purposes though. It gives it enough flex to not break in normal usage but still bend/break when the guy ballses it up and crashes it in the wrong position. I think it also helps in actually making it. If the loop was solid bar to the pivots it would be a right pain to get set up nicely for welding together. I reckon it's a long learned design rather than someone actually doing stress analysis stuff. Awesome thing😎

I find I feel working with metal to be very calming and natural.

Air arc was my go to for weld removal too Kurtis. I also had so much more control and I think it's a lot cleaner. Another great video.

Better than factory. Thanks for sharing . I’ve had to repair a few of those back in the day but the were 657E MODELS . Nice jig to work off . We didn’t get that luxury out in the field . Lol

@alanmoffat4680 Жыл бұрын

Must do a lot of these as you have a jig ready for them. I bet CEEA has a good rep for these and users seek you out for repairs and rebuilds. ps My dog has same reaction to Vet checks - as soon as we go a certain way, she knows what is coming!!!
