  • Hey guys, Here is a rather quick video of whats needed to repair your Bobcat Skidsteer loader arms if the tapered pins are not keeping tight.
    This takes a little cutting, a little measuring and a little machining. Hope you enjoy. Kick back and have a great weekend. Thanks for the support.

    My father was a machinist, everything had to be precise. His buddy who worked same place for years was a truck driver, welder, fabricator. Was fun to sit back and watch them build stuff together. Dad's buddy would tell him aw don't worry about it get it close and it'll get used to it lol. Give anything to be able to go back even if only for a short time. Glad you and your son seem to work well together and your passing along your knowledge to him. Will help him out immensely.

    You can use a center punch to out line your circle with a series of punches. Won't disappear from the torch. I do this when blacksmithing.

      I have a steam valve from a wreck around 1870, it has dot punch marks where they laid out the pcd
      For that job I would have used a mag drill and large core bit to get the clearance with a clean cut. I use 9" slitting discs on a lot of jobs these days as a clean cut and no torch gouges. Can't use it all the time but not grinding to get a clean face.
      Each to their own.

      I'd say the brothers were farmers! Those old time farmers were very industrious and knew how to fix and repair any machine on the farm. This tradition still lives on today and I really look up to the modern farmers who still are able to work on their own equipment.

    Everything has a bit of tolerance for adjustment plus nothing a ten pound sledge hammer can't get precise even with your one good eye.

As usual great video and very informative ❤

    Good job, steadier hand than I have with a torch. If I had that job, I probably would have gotten my big magnetic drill out. Put a small bit in that fit that bushing hole to find center.. Then back the bit out, without moving drill and put in a 1.25 annular cutter bit. Then drill the hole out. Just need plenty of coolant and should not be to bad.
