That is one of the best equipped trucks, the customers in your area don't know how lucky they are. When I bought a backhoe a few years back, the dealer had to take care of some issues. His service truck looked like it would not even be safe to drive and though big had only a few basic tools. I would never buy from that dealer again, just because of the work the service department does.

You have a class act, and it shows.

Here are a few from this afternoon.

Great pics! Thanks. I see they are using spherical bearings in there.Dunno why manufacturers do that The hole has only got to stretch a few thou,no support for the bearing and the rot sets in. The line borer has put a real nice weld in there and done a good job of welding between the circlip grooves. Nice work!
Can you tell me what brands the boring machine and the welder are? Bar looks to be 2.1/4 inch?
When I get a spare minute I might post a few pics of some of my jobs.

Tom the thats nice the more i see of the boa the more i like it. I talked to eric after i talked to you and hes sending me some books.

Ray, the boring bar is a York with a 2" bar and the bore welder is a Bore Repair Systems.

+10 :thumbsup I read your entire thread.

I'm a machinist but I don't know much about heavy equipment so my question may be a bit lame. Why the need for so many bore jobs? I would think there are replaceable bushings. Does all the knocking around and dirt eat out the bushing holes as well?

I have an older Deere hoe that I might want to tighten up some day....maybe not as easy as just replacing the pins and bushings?

Many times where the pin is in a fixed position with no bushing the bores get pounded out and other times they are worn thru the busings.
