  • 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 ;-)

    Another sign of a true quality tradesman someone who can read the signs of the job at hand. I found it was something that most quality tradesmen were able to do and in the process, be able to do repairs or fix the problem with a certain amount of guarantee it won't break again

    • @mhbh1979
      @mhbh1979 Před rokem +12

      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😎

    Between you and I C Welds, I feel that I now have a handle on how to use the Arc setup that has been languishing in the bottom drawer for decades. Always had plasma as go-to. You know, most blokes would have not turned that tube and just scraped those stiffeners. I'm not going to kiss the ground you walk on but I'd sure like to shake your hand. On old friend of mine use to say: "Why is there never time and money to do it right the first time but always time and money enough to do it over?". That is so true. Hopefully you are setting the example for the return of the craftsman. All of the additions to the shop would indicate that companies find it financially practical to use your services.

    Its surprising how good an operator can simply Muller a piece of plant that has been poorly repaired . Originally on Instagram it looked bad however it's worse on here , you need to find that wire shitting bird and kill it for good ..ok there's bad welding and then this is a whole new level to totally miss the bits your welding ... eek . I'm sure it was a lot more accommodating under the new tent , looking forwards to the build video . And I can only guess at poor homie when the vet wanted his temperature..You're gonna shove that WHERE !!. . Looking forwards to part 2 and hopefully part 3 when you repair your work table ..lol thanks as always guys
