In this video I remove a seized in pin from a excavator quick hitch with help from the thermal lance and big hammer.
So, the customer had already had ago at trying to remove the pin but couldn’t manage it.
I use the thermal lance to melt away the middle of the pin, after cooling the pin down by running water through it, I then try to knock it out with no luck.
After melting more of the pin out, it does start to move but very slowly, too slowly to carry on, even with the added heat from the pepper pot torch it was still slow. So, a final go with the lance is enough to get it moving. Then its just a case of giving it the beans with the big hammer until the pin finally knocks out.
I clean up the welds from where I had the pin support welded on and that’s my job done.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching! - Věda a technologie
The Electric Kettle, essential equipment in all British engineering workshops.
Yes to an engine rebuild video - thank you for the videos
Stay tuned for the massive press build folks...Thanks for posting.
Well done. Hope the customer paid you well for a job that most people could not do. Plus extra for the "I'm a small fella doing a big fella's job".
Imagine the customers bill, $120 x3 hours for repair work, $200 x1 hour sledge hammer work
Iv been tempted to do that sometimes 😂
@@fowletm1992 🤣🤣🤣
Only took 26 mins and 45 seconds. Call it half an hour. Video available to prove the work done.
@@willdean142 😀 LOL
Oh my! That is one of the scariest tools I have ever seen!😮 Good job getting the pin out! Thanks for letting us watch.
That was a hard fought win, but great job! Sometimes, those thermal lances are just about the only feasible option. Would definitely be interested in watching motor rebuild content. Thanks!
You would benefit from either lowering the work or elevating yourself when swinging the steel block. And it would put more energy into each blow.
Came here to say the same thing. He's got the work too high resulting on him hitting the punch at a 45' angle. Lowering the work would get him hitting the face square and also having more swing force impacting the work.
Do apologise I never watched all the footage
Agree about knee height is most efficient.
That was a rough one. Always good to see the end of these kind of jobs go out the door. Nicely done
Like they say "Hit the s.o.b." now you have a reservoir for extra grease!!! Have to enter you for the next He-man contest!!!
Great work, it's always the simple 'can you just' jobs which prove to be a right pain!
Wouldn't worry about the grease nipple... it doesn't look like it's ever been used! 😂
That might be a lesson for someone maintaining this machine!
Man, that was hard work.Sledge hammers can make you age very quickly.
Oooo we do watch the same channels!. Nice seeing you here my hilarious shaper machine hero CZcamsr guy
Well done, Oliver. You certainly got your workout for the day! Love to see you put your tractor together. Keep up the good work!
Definately like to see engine work. Like everything, great channel thank you for giving us a insight into your work.
Thank you for watching!
@@snowballengineeringshould used digger to push it out 😂
I found this most interesting having not seen a lance being used before. After watching a few of your very enjoyable videos, I am sure you will come up with a jig for the lance in order to keep the blast straight. WELL DONE
That pin fought its extradition every milli meter! Great approach and perseverance. Much respect.
Anything stubborn I've ever come across,I always pour red diesel on it,,just a small amount,,and leave it to work it's way in...Never failed yet..
Stuck JCB pins in 3cx are the worst...
Didn’t really have time to let anything soak in, this was a job done the same day it was brought in.
Nice one Oliver, quick tip, when using a sledge hammer, bring your hands together as you swing (like a lumberjack uses an axe) you'll be surprised by how much easier it is, and how much harder it hits 👍
This also keeps your hands as far away from head as possible in case of a glancing blow eg 21:40 . Choking up on the hammer is a great way to crush fingers when you miss. Also, are you hammering left handed?
Definitely interested in the engine rebuild. As you said a big press would have been handy, it's a pity you can't build your own.
This is one of the reasons I like your channel... You show the jobs warts and all.. All the can you just... And it's only... The consumables are always the small part.. It's the time and the effort.. And the knowledge... And no.. Not everyone's got a 300 T press in the corner of the workshop! Thanks again! As for engine rebuilds... Yes I'm up for that too😂
I wouldn't have worried about repairing the grease nipple as it doesn't look like they used it 😂
Top job on getting that pin out!
Not easy jobs frozen pins, well done. More tractor content is always welcome.
Outstanding job.
I think that you did the best choice for extracting the pin.
Nice work.
You definitely worked hard on this job.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Great job mate ~ your perseverance paid off in the end ~ you swung that sledge like a champ 👍🏻
Gday, I’ve heard of thermal Lance machines before but never seen one in use, certainly burns the rods up quickly, are they an expensive consumable?, you did bloody good to get the pin out and it’s almost time for a big press build, definitely keen to see the engine rebuild to, great video mate, cheers
The rods are about £3.77 each last time I bought some so are quite expensive considering how fast they burn away. A big press build is a good idea! Thanks Matty.
Being skinny, the struggle is real! …awesome vid, keep ‘em coming.
That was a ball ache.
Have you ever pressed new trough sections for a iae calf creep feeder?
There basically a tube with several lengths of steel wire in them, copper coated, same as Mig wire, I did see a shop made one, it wasxabout 8 foot long and 1" diameter, never seen it used though.
They are not that expensibe when you consider how much faster this is, compared to pressing, Oxy-Ace,Hammering or milling it out
Definitely would like to see a video on the tractor engine build.
Used to use a big sledge like that to break concrete,Lots of respect to you for being persistent.I know the pain,literally.
Fantastic problem solving as usual.
I mostly find the little fellas have more stamina than the big lumps. Perseverance is the key 🙂
I've had problems knocking shafts out in the past where I was too gentle initially and all I did was mushroom the end by a couple of thou, then it takes bigger hammers to shift it!
Please do a video on your engine rebuild, that would be an interesting diversion.
Always a pleasure. Definitely a struggle but, you worked it out
Engine rebuild .Well done Oliver 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Great CZcams channel! Enjoy it very much. So good to see practical work being done!!
Thank you!
Great job.
I admire your determination.
I got tired just WATCHING that. Reminded me of a summer I spent digging out stumps at my father's house - brutally hard labor. Well done!
I faced a job like this and I didn’t know what to do. It’s time to purchase a thermal lance. Thanks for sharing the level of difficulty. It’s important to know this going in.
Brilliant , Love to the engine rebuild.
Keep up the good work Oliver. Yes to the rebuild from me. Thanks
Well done Ollie. as the old saying goes, "If in doubt, use a bigger hammer". Love watching your videos, from Oz , on a 6,000 acre wheat and barley farm !
Nothing replaces hard work and it sure fought you all the way. Another win though. It would be good, if you could to film the engine build for all us old wasa’s that can’t get out there no more (I wasa truck mechanic when I wore younger man’s clothes)😂
Thanks for posting once more you made my Sunday start good.
...NONE of us are getting any YOUNG-(!)
Great confidence there. Many would baulk and go for a press or cut. Excellent.
Well done that looked like a tough one.
For a little guy you did an outstanding job ! Swinging a big sledge is scary enough for anyone !
This was super fun to watch. Smart to use the jack stands to reduce wasted energy.
Nice work with the sledge mate . Its good to see the variety of work to do keep it up Oliver .
Love to see that engine rebuilt!!!
You did a great job! Thanks for the video.
Another success story. Thanks for the videos.
Love to see a video on the engine. Nice job btw
I needed a break just watching. Well done.
Another great video and sheer determination
Well done. Thank you for cool and informative videos.
Despite all the high powered, high tech, tools it was still the bigger hammer that got the job done. 😀Bravo, well done! I was exhausted just watching you.
You are a hard working smart young man LOVE YOUR CHANNEL KEEP the good work and be safe
I’ve never seen a burning rod like that. Pretty slick!
Swinging the sledge will test you and make a man of you bud , great persistence 👍🏻🇬🇧
Hello from the US. Oliver, she was a tough one but you prevailed. Great job!
Thanks!
Try putting in some oil and then diesel in order to let the lubricant get around the outside of the stuck pin, this will make it easy to get the pin out with less energy.
You did another excellent job there Young Man .
Thanks for sharing……..
That was one hell of a workout well done thanks.
I think you are a master of your craft and you can solve any problem. Your ability is boundless. I would never under estimate your capabilities but I do hope your channel grows. Subscribed a short while back, from Durban, South Africa. All the best, yes make that cylinder block build, would love to see it...
Great to see everything coming along nicely, very well done I love your layout
Well done with that. I have been there with stuck pins, they are no joke. The customer might not need you to fix the grease nipple judging by where the pin was stuck. He obviously saves lots of money by not using too much grease.
Great video! That was one stuck pin! It would be awesome to see a video on you rebuilding the tractor! I really like seeing all of your techniques on metal working. Great job!
Never seen or Heard of a Thermal Lance! Cool bit of kit!
Awesome video, thank you
Persistence paid off. I was expecting an “I win” when the pin fell out.
Ótimo trabalho, abraços do velho professor do Brasil.
After watching this video MY arms are sore! Great video!
Yes make a video, I enjoy the stuff you do
amazing effort
Well done, mate. Great job.
Really great video, felt those last few blows, could tell you were knackered but you kept going. (stop sniggering at the back). YES, do the engine.
Hell yeah! Put that engine back together! And this was a very tough job! Removing the pin! Great video! Keep them coming!!👌👍
Wow!
You did it!
Good on! 😊
Yes to an engine rebuild
Great video well done on geting that pin out.
Epic! well done.
Like to see more of the thermal Lance and how exactly it works . Engine work would be good too.
Lot of hard work on that, I really hope you got paid well for doing what most others would not touch.
I enjoyed the video
Perseverance gets it done every time. Great job.
A demolition hammer would be great I think, to get those stubborn pins out. Just a thought.
Cheers from the states.
I've never seen such a dainty thermal lance probe before, I have seen much larger diameter probes, but yours is ideal for stuck pins etc. I'm the same as you, I am not built for a sledge hammer routine, but I can swing it for a time, and then I have to take a break. Well done though, some collateral damage but not critical. Great post, we have so much variety watching you, stay safe and well 👍
Im sure id be interested in most projects you do!
Those arms are going to be burning the next day 💪
Well done you made me tired just watching you,you will sleep well tonight 😊tractor rebuild will be very interesting,stay safe
Oliver I felt your pain all the way with that pin some of those Dromone hitches have given us a few grey hairs, keep up the great videos mate
Wow, that was a fight.
Respect.
You earned you money on that job . Been there myself with tight pins. A nice cool pint of beer will taste good after that
god damn that fought you the whole way.... id have been swearing and laughing by the end of that.... good on you for being unafraid to share the difficult moments with us. thanks for the video and I would like to see the engine work for the tractor..
Absolutely interested in a rebuild video!!!
Get something to stand on,raise yourself up a few more inches, then you're hitting the pin square on. Remember, don't force it, use a bigger hammer.😅.
Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Man,, You worked HARD FOR THAT DOLLAR!!! Great job!!
Good persistence. Like to see the next video with replacing the head. Cheers!
that was some mission getting that out !!!!! but you did a top job as usual 👍
Really enjoyed your video and your persistence 👌👌
Didn't miss that pin once swinging that sledge hammer. Great job.
I would love to see you work on your tractor pulling engine. I enjoy all of the videos you choose to share with us!
Quite the challenge and a helluva workout! I bet you were sore the following day. Great job!!!
I was a bit 🤣
By ‘eck that looked like it was some graft! Well done!
Definitely a job where patience is a virtue.
I’ve only seen a thermal lance used in movies to cut into safes!
That was a hell of a fight with the pin! I thought you did well swing the sledge - accurate hits despite fatigue. Nobody is built to swing a sledge at full strength for that long!
Good luck with your business, and future tool acquisition!
Poxa!! Ja estava sentindo falta de outro vídeo.
Well done great job yes like to see engine rebuild on puller👍
Well done mate, persevere
