Hi guys,
well had two busy weeks, got the job done at the local CAT dealership and they send more work towards me in the future.
i'm actualy line boring a quick attach from a wheelloader for them as we speak.
here a few pics off the job last week,
The boom cracked at the rear, they had machined it a few months ago too, but when they welded the ears on, they "forgot"to take the bar which they welded in between for keeping the ears in place, they forgot to take it out there before line-boring, so after lineboring they took that bar out and the tension came off the ears.
They had a really hard time getting the boom back on there they said. because off the tension the ears cracked again.
So now they did the whole nine yards on the boom, stick and bucket.
All pins are replaced and if the bores where not good i needed to line bore them.
we ended up with 8 bore setups so the cat guy did 2 and i did 6 in the same time:bash:bash:bash
they gave the bushings in the ears off the boom 0,4mm crush.. which i think is a LOT! they had some issues getting the bushing in to say it nicely..
I did also the stick nose, gave those bushings 0,32mm crush.. The cat guy wrote down the sizes off the bores, so i just needed to make them that size.
was a nice job, bore are between 180 and 110mm and roughly 15-25cm deep which took a while to get it all out nice.
but it worked out well. the guys are happy with the job and quality so thats good.
