Let me know if you guys liked this one. Thanks for watching
Yes pleas more of them i love the heavy equipment repair especial big equipment and Caterpillar stuff pleas make more of them 👍
yes more of this bit more skill to reassembly then taking apart
I love seeing this kind of content
All videos are good to me. Have a good Happy new year
Yes this is awesome. Makes me want a big crane even more. A tour of your service truck would be cool.
A constructive suggestion for you guys. Take 2 bolts and cut the heads off and shorten the threads(or not) and point the non-threatening end and put them in at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position to guide the brake unit into position as you install the unit. Guides it into place and no damage to the oring. Make life easier for you. Cheers
I did same thing different for my rear diff. Except used the metric 10.9 rod, I figured it should be 10" length when I read the instructions after I had done it they said 4 " as that length would not have kept the diff from rotating. As I did not want to have to redo the sealant RTV. Easier is usually better.
That was my first thought too, guides.
Thanks for making these videos. It's educational to learn how these machines are put together. Also great to see people who care about quality as they do their jobs.
Largest grader ever made was the Acco, by a very wide margin. 400,000 Ibs, 36 foot blade, 12 tires, twin engine, 1700 hp.
Just a thought. When I needed to align big parts together, I would take a pair of long bolts, and the heads cut off. Thread the bolts into the housing and use it as an alignment pins. Much easy assemble, and less likely to damage o-rings or gaskets. Love the videos.
Better if you don’t talk so much and let the video show us what happens. Also you need to be clear about the difference between something being level and plumb.
We were all young and inexperienced to start with. Sad to see you made the same basic mistake on the second side too. Clean ALL cover mating surfaces and threads first BEFORE cleaning crankcase ONCE. I rarely had the luxury of a covered workshop, so I learned to use my brain to save me freezing or getting wet as much as possible while still doing the best job possible. When you need to use the torque wrench upwards, keep arms and back as straight as possible. Use the strength of both legs to avoid a skipped disc. Hope this helps you in your career. P.S. Get the broken screen replaced. Laminated screens break into large sharp, killing shards when they finally fail. Old toughened windscreens broke into tiny scratchy bits even though they were a pain.
And people wonder why heavy equipment repairs and maintenance cost so much!
Not too many people have the knowledge or equipment to do it.
I found your video to be very interresting. I have worked on farm equipment, but nothing near that size, but also usually outside and in cold weather! Definitely prefer hot weather if I have shade!
I like this - a totally different view of the work that goes on in the yard. I can't imagine the 600ftlb torque - my RV has 450ftlbs on the lug studs and nuts, and if I didn't have a 5Xmultiplier I'd be sunk!
I was just thinking to myself that he needed a multiplier for that torque.
I used to drive school bus in L.A. One of the buses there had a Cummins horizontal 6 cyl., a 335 I think. Anyway it needed some valve work done on it and I remember a slender mechanic hanging on a cheater bar on the end of a 6' torque wrench trying to get to 600 ftlbs on the head bolts. That was funny!!
you should try a 1000ft lb tq wrench to tq the 4 bolts for the fwd transmission on a ch-47 helicopter. the bolts tq at 880ft lbs. the end caps that hold the horizontal hinge pin (flap up/down) on the rotor head tq at 420ft lbs and working on the aft pylon for the aft rotor head, we only have a 30"x30" work platform and is 17' in the air.
1000 foot pounds on combine wheel bolts. And they're sunk in about 3 feet, so you get a long extention, a big torque wrench, and a handyman jack to hold the extention up at the pivot point
@@RedDeadSpearhead Hey Has, it's neat to see the correct jack term used! "Handyman"! Not "hi-lift" or some such amateur term! As a kid on a Minnesota farm my Dad taught me a healthy respect for those things! Ever see one start ratcheting down by itself and fling the handle out? Just stand back and let 'er go!
It's easier to find shade than try to get warm!
Yes 👍
Great video! Excellent explanation of the operation of the various systems! Looking forward to seeing more!
Build Wit is a channel for his company. He mainly does promotional videos and commercials for companies. Things they can use at trade shows and at presentations. Check out his web page sometime. Just found your vids, and just subscribed, can't wait to see more and figure out what you are all about.
I believe I'd get a bank loan and install a 60x80 cement apron in front of my shop rather than working in the MUD !
In the works! No concrete until summer unfortunately
The mud is what separates the boys from the men. I’d rather work outside any day than in a shop, I’m also a field mechanic.
Not one for finding faults on people, but you should have used flange management techniques for doing up those bolts.. still I enjoi the video
Just as I was wondering how you install the chains....
Great job 👏
Champion built a bigger blade years ago.
The Champion 100T.
It makes the 24M look small
I prefer cold. Lol as long as the wind isn’t blowing like here in West Texas. You always take layers off to cool off if you get too hot.
The reason there's no one entering the field is due to Educators and Parents not understanding the value of trades and only wanting everyone to be university white collar people. I wanted to do this as a career but everyone from my parents to teachers did everything in their power to prevent me from doing anything with my hands, the result was I joined the Army Infantry, it was my only "out". Had a great time there, breeding kittens now lol, life take funny turns eh!
Hey Quinton !!! ""GET -R-DONE "" --No matter what the weather does !! Great video & Thanks !!! 🙃😊🤨🤔🤔👍👍👍👍👍
There’s different levels of cold and heat. Here in Michigan I’d say 15-30F is nice working weather, even down to zero if there’s no wind. Add some wind and 30 can be nasty. Anything above 80 is just sweating for no reason weather.
Yes, I do enjoy seeing how you do and keep it all running. Gr8 videos
would i rather work in the cold or heat ?? ... well , working in the cold you can always add more layers .. working in the heat once you're down to a high-viz vest & shorts you can't remove more layers .. lol
Me being a Florida Cracker, I like the hot weather.
I don't move too well in cold weather.
Fantastic guys, keep up the good work. Very impressive. 😂
Ya, man, bent tubing not going back together will make you say really bad words, especially if you cross thread the nut. Then, the cutters and benders and unions and new fittings come out. With more cuss words, LOL.
Definitely had to cut some words out hahaha
You are the boss who doesn’t mind getting dirty. Great 👍🏿 job
Good work guys. I had a issue with CAT over there cutting edge tips. They were warranted not to brake. They replaced them and told me I wasn’t using the correct torque on the bolts. I bought a CAT torque multiplier to satisfy the warranty. I did brake a few after that, they never questioned the replacement. I also put the multiplier to use on the elephant pad caps on my Mack trucks. Think they were 600 ft.lbs.They are expensive, but worth the investment. Thanks for the video.
Cold nough to make a polder bear hunt cover. By the way it's 47F at Tinaja Hills this morning.
You really need to stand back and help when asked. they know their job.
Cold is probably the best of the two, super hot outside, you can’t escape that heat not to mention the health risks (granted there are risks with the cold temperatures). At least with the cold, you can always add more clothes and use things to keep warm
I believe just the opposite, everything is such a process and takes so much long in the cold.
Yep you can only remove so many clothes before HR or cops are involved
I was wondering when you said there were 2 chain's. I was thinking 1 chain to go around both finals. Then I figured out the drive is a double sprocket, hence the 2 chain's, 1 chain per wheel.
What is the chain size? I've seen 100 chain and that was a wee bit bigger than 100.
Glad I found you thru Cascade Heavy Rescue when you boys went to get your old pete.
Love the old equipment. I've been a nut for trucks and equipment all my life. Currently a truck driver. I've been described as a "wheels turnin kinda guy".
Good video.
I’m sure I saw a cat grader, truck-drive, hell of a lot bigger then that one
I don't understand why you don't have a locating stud
I have a 1" drive torque wrench it goes up to 1500 Newtonmeter i can feel you guys hanging on that torque wrench 👍
I like working when it spring time mild weather not hot, not cold, just right for working
Hardcore field work!
QUIRY? would it not be more accurate and quicker/saer to the threads to slid these onto temp studs?
Hated winter going up on the passes dot plows throwing salt and sand when you are trapped under the rig.get it back to the shop big chunks of ice and gritty snow melt and fall on you. So cold your fingers will not move untill you sit in the service truck and thaw them into submission. Much rather worry about heat issues than frostbite jobs for sure.
Should the torque wrench not be longer to make it easier than putting all your weight on it?
Just found your channel. I’m digging your content. I’ll be watching more videos!!!!
I remember doing the same job on a #12 Cat Grader by myself one winter at about zero degrees!! No truck crane or impact tools, just bust- ass work!! Sure is nice to have the modern tools of today!! You did a very nice and neat job!! Take it from an “Old Veteran Mechanic”!! I’d have you guys work for me anytime!!!
I hate being skinny, especially in the winter time. I know what it's like not having enough lead in my ass to get things done🤣
Join the club budd...lol
I was a field mechanic in Texas and the machine would either be freezing cold to the touch or burning hot depending on the weather.
Great video, I was wondering how they managed to get those large chains in. Btw. Champion 100T is the largest grader ever made. 24M is still a beast.
Look up the acco supper grader
As long as it's not wet, I prefer working in the cold. It can be -40°, I'll just put more layers on. In summer I can only take so many layers off before people start calling the police.
When you add Teflon to the threads, aren't you supposed to go less torque? Probably why the threads pulled.
I am with you, I would rather the heat of a full summer day in the desert than have to work outdoors in the cold.
Looks like it was a nice day to be working outside, I'll take cold over hot any day!
aye , sometimes it helps being a happy fat kid during winter to stay warm .
Love seeing the big toys! Another great video!!
Thanks for watching!
Grate to see big iron Sent back to work , not just parted ,make a nice mix grate job
i was noticing u guys sanding the area just outside the Oring grove but earlyer u guys were wiping out the inside of the area where the chains run but i noticed ur sander was slinging the gritt of the sanding pads paint dirt ect into the chain n oil tanks catpiller would shit a brick if they saw that shit that dust from the sanding pad also dirt paint n whatever debri that sander is slinging straight into THE CHAIN CASE AND THATS MEGA BAD MY DAD WATCHED THAT N WAS OMFG WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE LOL. MIGHT AS WELL GRASS BLAST TE AREA WHERE THE ORING SIT KINDA CLOSE N U DONT WANT ANY DEBRI FROM A SANDER WITH DIAMOND COATED SANDING DISC ENTERING THAT CHAIN CASE IT WILL EAT MORE THAN JUST THE CHAIN/BEARINGS IT WILL DESTROY OIL PUMPS ECT ECT also try silicone sealer on those bolts my favorite is high temp red. works on any n everything is easy to see easy to use easy to clean up n we all know cleanup were ya spend the most time. this is my daughters account she showed me that n i was omg n could resist makinga coment hopfully it make your days easyer cause have to do shit twice really sucks i like doing things 1 time n its all good they call somthing like that a comback n aircraft industry. get 5 combacks in a yr or 1 that cause a crash of a aircraft n ur fired maybe get charged with with the death of a pilot if ur work cause a aircracraf to crash n burn like a trailer house. n thats bads.
For those that came to actually see the largest grader ever built. The Champion 100t
ua-cam.com/video/_lgu2NOdjlU/v-deo.html
This is the largest production grader the Champion 100t was never a successful production machine I know the one we had at the iron ore mine I worked at it went up the hill and down the hill and into the workshop if you want the biggest grader the ACCO it was 181 tons never was a production grader great idea but grading haul roads in a iron ore mine is brutal
Love the 24M’s.
I have roughly 20,000 hours of seat time running those beasts.
Is this a Chain drive machine ?
Cold any day of the week. But we don't get the snow like you guys do. Thats in Australia. Love the channel mate. HNY.
Quinton, You are amacing owner/boss n your busines, not one of those whitecollar bosses , who dont even know what they are working with. I bet your workers( sorry if I picked wrong word) are respecting you, because You are working with them, not like just ordering them to do it, you know.
Cold weather, I hate it, everything under 60F is too cold to me, and I´m living in Finland, in old wooden house´, with woodburnin stoves, just now, when writing, my temp inside house is 60 to 70f and its too cold, just cant use that much wood, its also so expensive in here. But can survive, needs lots of rom tho.
By the way, I started writing this comment last year 2022, and going to stop it in year 2023.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 💥🎇🎉🎊 to You . Its 00.02 now in year 2023 here in Finland, You have to wait fev hours more to get 2023.
There is no “I” in team, barking orders never gets you anywhere
@@quintonbartolotta Yeah , I have seen that in all kind of yt-videos I follow, small to midsize companys, in USA. You take care of people you are working with, not as A BOSS but as a leader to show how to, and do it yourself if they cant, to show how. I never had any company my own, but with my own skills, I have showed those so called bosses, who is more important, me with my skills or him/her with status, I allways won. Only once I lost, I wanted to get up position on "cruisingship" between Finland and Sweden. To be as housekeeping purser, but in that time , they called it as hostess, and yeah I am male, and job was "only" for femails in that time, 1 year later, they took international naming for that post, housekeepong purser, that was too late, i had taken outpayment allready.
But anyway, if people you are workin with, cant respect you, and you cant trust them, it not a team anymore, its only bunch of humans, who cant do anything well.
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR One hour allready here in Finland.
Hate cold weather, as you also🥶
🥶
Pretty bad azz!.. Love watching this type of stuff.
Just finished watching the service truck videos, now this. That service truck didnt stay clean, now did it? Guess its a work truck, not a trailer queen. Came here via Casey, love ur videos, but I Hate Casey Ladelle. 😂
Hey quick note , the 24M is not the largest grader ever made , That title goes to the ACCO an Italian made grader with 12 tires ,33 foot blade ,two engines totaling 1700 hp and weighing in at 200 tons the second largest was the Champion 100 t with over 700 hp Cummins and weighing at over 92 tons .
I like 76 degrees with a light breeze. Too bad I worked in an open pit w1th 110 to 120 degrees and no breeze. Now adays I wonder how I did it. We did the bolts on the undercarriage of a P&H cable shovel using a 4 foot long wrench and a Grove crane. I did help a mechanic torque the head bolts an a haul pack using a 4 to 1 multiplier which made the pulling easier but sure did add to the number of pulls.
Nice, our CAT 160M sitting without wheels in the shop, this coming Monday, we’ll be doing brakes on it too.
I'd rather work when it's no warmer than 20deg Celsius and no colder than minus 10deg Celsius. I'd also rather work on gravel than that slop pit you've got going on. That must be a real mess some days.
Got some beautiful scenery there though. I'd never get tire of looking at the mountains. Almost looks like Alaska but there isn't enough of a view to really tell one way or another. Oh I just realized it's Oregon. Nothing more beautiful than the North West Coast Great video. Cheers.
CAN YOU HELP? I dont know if this something you would be interested in doing. There is a family in Nevada in desert they bought a ranch in desert and raise cattle, they are not wealthy very harding family with 8 kids all work on ranch. The family has old water tanker truck with a cummins a person took their truck a hose broken and truck drove awhile totally empty on water antifreeze. The engine seized up this family know nothing about diesels or are mechanically know hows. This truck is the only way for them to water their cattle throughout the desert. They put out a alert for help so someone could tell them if or what to look for if they start tearing into diesel I mean they willing do work they just dont know how or what to do.
They have a you tube channel Anchor Brand Ranch great family humble hardworking. If possible you way be able to talk them through options what to do or if getting used motor is better. They put video out last night of what happened and I watched you with Casey thought you be the man who knows things to be honest with them. Anchor Brand Ranch. If you into helping out it be Great. I dont usually do this but the family needs some guidance.
Keep up Great Work you do!!
I find your comment about being fatter you stay warmer very rude!, I'm freezing all the time.. that's like saying Casey should be freezing all the time because he skinny... im'm not liking you too well.
Enjoyed this. Lots of hard work in varying conditions. Happy New Year to all!
I have seen a motor grader physically bigger than this one out east at a mine in PA. I believe it was made by Champion but not 100% sure on that. It had a V-16 engine in it. The tires were the size of the ones on the large mine haul trucks. It was out of service when I saw it. This is impressive seeing you do this repair. I work outside a lot on locomotives. I prefer warm weather for the work. Dressed properly cold weather is tolerable to work in.
You are right about that. The Champion is a little over 90 tons, there is one in working condition in Norway at a company called Rana Gruber.
@@dalarampen does that make this one, the largest grader in this part of the world?
@@SPUDHOME As far as i have found out it is the largest in the world, since the former largest is dismanteld..
Good vid Chap, if you want to save some time & ensure your not dropping crap back into the chain housing when cleaning out the threads, invest in a tap to wind in whilst you have a vacuum hose on the end of it inside the box.
If your a cheap skate cut a slot along the thread on one of the old bolts and do the same.
If you don't have a shop vac, please disregard this message.
Have a nice day😊
It all depends on what I’m doing in cold weather. Digging a trench by hand in cold weather is fine with me.
Holy $hit - girly man torque wrench 😊. I don’t envy you at all on that! Man how about a hydraulic torque wrench?
Real Man job 💪🏻
Hello from Argentina!!!!! Great videos!!!
Hola!
The Champion 100T is the largest grader ever made. 180.000pounds with a 24foot blade.
Actually, the Acco grader still holds the record, by a very wide margin. 400,000 Ibs, 36 foot blade, twin engine, 1700 hp.
@@phloughtgnarpsehs7263 thanks, had to google the Acco. Altough i agree with you i dont think it can be compared since the Acco is a custom made machine, and the Cat and Champion were produced for mass sales. But a very cool machine!
@@hanatophilia understand your position, but you didn’t say largest “production” grader. You merely said largest ever made. So the Acco is certainly in the running.
I sent this video to my old boss that owns a dozer repair place. I got a text back saying " why tf is that truck so dirty?' LOL He made us wash the service truck ay time it was dirty as long as the outside looked clean he didnt care but if you showed up to the shop with a dirty truck you spent the rest of the day washing/ cleaning out that truck
Great video
I have worked in southern Alberta in the heat of summer, and in the cold and dark of Yellowknife in the winter. What I hate the most is the bugs , and the wind. But the bugs usually aren’t around when it’s windy.
Ya working out side in the cold is fine if you have the right gear. You need to keep moving to stay warm. I like it warmer now maybe because I’m older now ☺️
Cool video. Those are some massive roller chains
ive been in the business 32 years the 24 H is the biggest just saying
I also have a 24H, the 24M is over 5K lbs heavier, the 24H is not the biggest.
Just sayin
Tuff video right here brotha yall was getting it done!!
how did you ever get started taking big stuff apart ?
Would it not be easier to put the chains in first and wrap around the first drive sprocket as you put it in... and then as for the second??? Seems like you made it very difficult for yourself with a very small opening at the top to try and feed a heavy chain round a sprocket... not how I would do it... but, you got it done I guess.
This is not the largest grader ever made. we have and old Champion grader in our mine here, and its has a grader blade 3.5 meters (11.48) feet longer than the 24M
You sure don't know torqueing procedures. 3 times around to reach the final torque. just saying...
I would rather sweat my tail off then freeze my tail off any day of the year. Living in Lansing, Michigan I don't mind the snow it's just the damn cold I can't deal with!
Man YOU are DOIN IT MAN!!! 24H... The width of the moldboards probably wider n you are old! VERY IMPRESSED!!!! Must be cool working w the big iron! I am a carpenter from Ca and LOVE Yellow! Cheers and happy new year from Santa Cruz! Show us that C500 next please!
Great
Have a guess how big a ‘24’ h or m graders blade is 🤣
@@jayryan1956 24 ft YOU STRIKE ME AS A GO GETTIN IT GUY! LOVE YER GIG duder
If you want it hot try 129F in December 2015 pressing new pins and bush's in a D9l I did not enjoy it at all
This is not the largest motor grader in the world. The champion 100t is only 13 ever produced I believe and there is 2 that i know of still working
The 24M is not the world’s largest grader. The Acco grader is the largest tipping the scales at 160 tons.
Think I have seen one of those monster graders like 20 years ago up in the great white north near the mountains plowing out the ditches into the farmers fields so they could plow the roads into the ditches.
I'm fat and I hate the cold...I was -41 just over a week ago.
That is why there is a shortage of truck, heavy equipment mechanics and utility linesmen. They have to work in the worse weather conditions outside, it is best suited to young guys.Are those front tires vee treads on backwards??
Chamion 100t, now out of production was consideratly larger than the cat 24M
Looks like you boys need some more concrete around your building to me!👍👍
Definitely!
Some time laps off the second side being dun would be nice
Looks like that you should've already had the chains installed after you put the first drive in by just slipping the chains over the first drives sprockets & stretch them out for the second drive sprockets
Some gravel or real surface to cover the slippery and sloppy mud you guys work on? What happens when things drop?
Service truck weights 60k and 20 of that is splashed up mud 😅
Content ok bit dude u r slowing down ur guys so much. If you ha e to ask things as a boss maybe just stay in the shop and let the boys do it that have been doing it for 20 years. Yes you know about the machines as u should being a boss but not doing the work. Next video
Where are the drive chains ?
Trying to work with gloves on or grabbing a ratchet that’s been in direct summer sun.
Hmmmmmm.
why not use a second cork/paper/sealant gasket with the Oring?
