Well by reading the news your part of the country is pretty soaked. Up here in southern Canada it has been unseasonably warm. I was wondering if the Q 150 boring kit and drill will work in 24"

I'm SW of Corpus Christi and that front blew by about 15 min ago and only got a sprinkle. Yes think it would work , have never done a bore job . The Q -150 seems pricey , search weldingweb website they have information on building your own setup.

Since I need to do this I have been looking on line for a local guy but only heavy equipment dealers offer it and think it will cost more. No small guys around here and I thought might get a smaller setup and do some custom work myself. Have tractors and big trucks a cat hoe I could be busy fixing my stuff first.

I would have your cousin fab new ears (the articulations/bearings are normally not much more than a thumb-press fit, you have to have near perfect bores otherwise the outer cage will crack and break-out... and retaining ring grooves that should be cut) and then have a reputable welder type (should be one of those guys runnin' around there?) weld them on if you don't feel comfortable doing it...while you were at it, you could probably remove the cylinders and have your cousin bush the pin holes too! Just looks like a tricky repair to learn to weld-up and bore if you haven't done it before.
Regards, Bob

Funny you said that. I was just talking with my cousins foreman who goes to my cHurch what Rayf was saying about cutting off. I think I might go that route. I know how to weld not bad but wil probably get a local guy that's pretty good. The clevis' are wore good so will ore and bush and make my own pins with harden guide pins. Thanks

John Deere is a little different design but pry be just as compact and we have local guy that came and bored it out and made a bushing to weld in it to fix ours on a 9630 JD and he used a drill to run his boring bar.

A couple of relevant points. You don't have a lot of wall thickness there to be putting in a sleeve. Putting a line borer in there is feasible but expensive in that application but to cut in that circlip groove is going to be quite a challenge for most machines and operators in a small diameter like that. The bearing needs a round bore with 2 thou interference on the bearing. I would still be welding on a new lug with a full penetration weld and keeping the job reasonably cool to minimise distortion of the bore. I'm sure the frame will be mild steel so no need for big pre heats.

Rayf, I checked this morning and there is no snap-ring used to hold the bearing in placeIMG_20151228_070121.jpg. Here is a link to case's parts store http://partstore.caseih.com/us/parts-search.html#epc::mr48669ar1145913 you can see. There is a step at the bottom to hold up the bearing but its pretty much flush on the top. I like the idea of cutting off and replace with new but looking at it more do we have enough space to weld to frame?

Ok,that unusual. I thought the original pic looks like a groove but looking again there is a welded on boss starting to come away?
With welding you are the man looking at it and best able to judge that. No snap ring makes it a much easier job to bore in situ.
