    It's also cheaper to make the part out of hollow round stock and welding a cap on the end than machining an end cap out of solid round bar stock, or not.

    I think they welded the end caps to make it easier to install the cotter pins. I don't think the pins needed replacement or it would hurt to run with the old pins as long as the cotter pins are in place.

  • @beardedprepper8606
    @beardedprepper8606 21 день тому

    Great point about the cotter key actually keeps the whole pin together. A thought I've had about doing to mine... Drilling a small centered bore hole through the pin and only halfway into the pin, then drill the same size hole at the center point of the pin, but only drill it halfway through to where it will meet up with centered bore hole. Then tap the centered bore hole just enough to thread in a grease fitting into it. Being able to grease the pin that way will allow the grease to thoroughly lubricate the moving parts of the pin. And, it will make it way easier to grease that joint because it sure is aggravating to reach the grease fitting through the joint at the top of the boom. And, I love your new parts washer. 😂

    • @DoubleMFarmHomestead
      @DoubleMFarmHomestead 20 днів тому

      Yea, that would make them more like the "clevis" pins. It would definitely be easier than getting to those hidden fittings.

    I don't see why the welds are necessary other than keys coming out. Replace the keys every year or two. I like latch pins myself but cotter pins come out harder and are very hard steel. Haven't had one come loose but I will watch for them every startup.

    On any heavy-duty equipment, grease all fittings at the end of the job or at the end of the day while everything is still warm. To force all the accumulated water, dirt, and grit out of the joint or bearing and to do a good grease job. You don't need to force a lot of grease out, just enough to see clean grease. Wipe excess off with a rag, it will hold the dirt and grit you want to get rid of.

I put my trencher together by myself, and it took a fair amount of both strength and ingenuity. I would have liked to see a potentially, better way of manipulating everything. At any rate, this is a good video. Thanks for sharing it.

    Poor man’s backhoe …. The only reason I would buy one is to mount it to a tractor and skip the 7-10,000 dollar one for the tractor… just upgrade what you need to mount and use it on a tractor will still be cheaper than buying 7-10 grand for one…
