All in a days (or two) work pictures

[theironoracle]

so here is a new thread, if you guys like it i will continue to post pics of some of the work i do...explanation of pictures. The pegson track jaw was getting new swing jaw bearings and shaft. The other two are of a customer track skidder trans, one of the diff case and the other of the powershift partly disassembled. I didn't get to rebuild this one i disassembled it and gave them a quote it was to high so someone else did it cheaper. Later i got paid again to diagnose that reverse and second gear was leaking by (massive trans heat) i got paid to remove and disassemble again found piston housings for reverse and second had not been replaced as i had found the grooves in them where the seals ride, also two broken shaft seals that the last guy had broken on reassembly he warrantied nothing and the customer found a running take out trans for a third of the money i was going to charge for rebuild. It actually has worked well for them..

machine was not worth repairing the first time. it is definately time for this customer to part this thing out, problem is he only puts about 400 hrs on it a year...

here is a project with lots of photos: Customer says machine does not vibrate. I pulled the hydraulic vibrator motor and shaft was broke because eccentric bearings were completely out in one side due to no oil..i removed drum and when i did the bearing for drum support fell off its shaft they were bad enough they broke the snap ring. I wish i had gotten a picture of installing the eccentric hub i forgot to bring rods to slide it in on so i tipped the drum on its end and lowered the hub down flat being sure i got both eccentrics on the same side of the drum..

Looks like their lack of PM = your job security.

 

[theironoracle]

Lots of companies think its all about gross profit, the result is go, go, go, fix when broken completely!!! I am thankful i have work and enjoy repairing iron...anyone know how to get pics off of my i-phone into hef?

 

[JDOFMEMI]

I just posted in another thread about it. Get a photobucket account, and download the app that sends your pics straight to it. Then you can copy the link and post it here, already sized right.

http://s1167.photobucket.com/albums/q621/theironoracle/Snapbucket/ thanks jdofmemi, this is my first try from the i-phone, this was earlier this winter motor ran pumps didn't turn we suspected the flex coupler, after disassembly i found the funk drive box was out of oil and had dropped a bearing and ruined all of it, removed motor and funk drive box never once opened up the hydraulic system....beautiful day (or two) in the snow theironoracle

 

[theironoracle]

not sure about that, i think i would rather bring them into HEF server than link them, how does everyone else want to see them? theironoracle

First off, personally I think these are the best and most interesting threads on the forum so please keep posting ! I love to see the real world, front line repairs done to all types of equipment. Thanks I know it takes time to post and do write-ups but its great to learn from. Since you asked, yes it's a little nicer to be able to see the pictures on the thread instead of clicking to a link but in the end I'll gladly look at either !
