Nice! Was waiting for another video. Thank you for taking us along on the repair. Was really cool seeing it come together, and that service truck of yours is getting it DONE! Awesome stuff here.
Used that stick welder a few times, have you now! Really nice looking welds! Always great to see you've posted something, until next time. Thanks for the video.
I have never worked around heavy equipment. Great to see how such things are done and equally great to know there are people that have that ability to accomplish such things. Not an easy job and it takes special abilities to make it work. Thumbs Up for sure...
This channel is awesome. Its educational and its actual real world work. Not like most wrld vids where it's in a class of some sort. Good job dude. Keep uploading
I replaced the pin and bushings in a D5n one time and it was one solid pin from top to bottom. Was a little more work to get the old pin out and the new one in
I'm currently trying to get the exact same bearing replaced on my d6n. I got the top two sections of the pin out. But I'm not seeming to be able to get the bottom section of the pin out from that bushing that you welded the the new ring in for it's seized on the old ball. Do you have any suggestions? I heated the ball and cut it most of the way through but it still refuses to push out the top! Does that big pin come out the top or do I have to cut the keeper off the bottom and drive it out of the bottom? Thank you so much for your input!
Where did yall get the replacement bearing housing, possibly the source and part number if it's not asking too much? Guy I'm doing one for had one made which I think is fine except for I'm unsure of exact placement up and down wise since I can't actually measure from the housing itself being it was machined using a very worn out part, does the bearing center in the flat plate it welds too? Thanks so much!
Thanks haha not that day. Pants gotten long in the tooth and I ripped them in the seam while I was keening. Blue tape works better than you think against welding BB’s the wax in the tape helps a lot.
I do field repairs also. Nice rig. What welder did you put on it? I wint with the Miller Trailblazer 325 efi on the one I have now. Last one as I'm retiring next year after 50 years!
Thank you. I’ve got a SA250 it might be a bit of overkill but I like the old school welders they give less problems in the long run and I can work on them. I’ve got a friend with a 325 and he likes it a lot. Good deal I hate to hear we are losing A veteran to the trade but I understand safe travels out there.
when you started to weld you started from the bottom of the arch 1. I was told that you weld from top to bottom.(Any tips?) 2. That is one nice umbrella. (I need to get one like that!) Love your channel I wish I could follow you around for 6 months just to pick up tricks.
I was running a 7018 uphill so that’s why I started on the bottom like that. Yeah a umbrella is a must have. You can buy one just like mine at Lowe’s. Thanks man. Been wanting to do more tip videos.
I wonder how out of round that machined bore is after all that welding on one hemisphere? be interesting to know how the Cat engineers accounted for that.
Wonder if that fella has ever knocked a chunk out of that driver pin? We get inspected by Mine Safety, and they raise three different kinds of Cain if the ends of any of our bull pins are mushroomed. It only takes one guy getting hurt for them to go on a national crusade about these things, so you may go a lifetime without it ever happening to you. Still though, I wouldn't want to be the guy who takes a swing at a driver pin and has a piece of it come back at me....
how do u get nice wleds when welding upside down and vertical, my welds just drip and splatter. doing butt welds right side down are easy for me but not the other.
Getting your amps right is the key. One amp can make a big difference out of position. On a engine driven machine third gear 50% on your fine tuning is a good place to start with a 1/8” 7018 electrode for most machines. It takes a lot of hood time to get overhead and vertical down pat. knowing how far you can push the puddle without getting undercut or a cold lap. Lots of practice.
I normally don’t preheat any metal if I’m stick welding. If the code requires it I will but in this case AWS code D1.1 doesn’t require preheat on low hydrogen electrodes welds unless the ambient temperature is 32 degrees or less.
@@dougbormann3972 , I'd be worried about grease contamination, and the Anti-Seize picking up grit. It has a fair whack of silicate in it to start, and you run the risk of forming a lapping compound that eventually grinds your pin under-size. Where this bearing is, it's going to get a shovel full of whatever that dozer runs into, every time. Keep 'er greased, and that's about the best you can do.

You need to learn how to cut steel. Way too much SLAG! Bubbling, spitting, pock marks. Get some 0.75 " stock & practice. Use metric, it is easier to use. It may be a large machine, but precise measurements are very important! HEAVIER, longer welding gloves. Not "bail throwing" gloves...SAFETY FIRST, precision SECOND! Bigger rods, higher amps = better penetration.
Damn dude calm down. Sometimes you can’t get ideal results because you don’t have ideal conditions. I love you used Standard measurement (0.75”) then told me to use metric. Far as gloves it is what you get used to you don’t have to have big gloves to be well protected if you know how to weld. Bigger rods more amps less control. Once again what you get used to. There is nothing wrong with a 1/8” 7018 on 3/4” plate. Listen I honestly appreciate what you’re doing but don’t act like everything I did was inferior or that I didn’t do my job safely. It’s easy to yell at a screen but if you really want to make a difference make a video of your own.
Great to see you again, Ethan. I know this has been a hard year, so special thanks for still thinking of us who learn so much from watching your work.
Doing exact same job on d6n right, killed it on the video, top notch old school work from both of you gentleman, keep it up!
You are not only mechanically talented, you are also very talented with video production! Love watching you work. God Bless!
Nice! Was waiting for another video. Thank you for taking us along on the repair. Was really cool seeing it come together, and that service truck of yours is getting it DONE! Awesome stuff here.
Love it when you break out that measuring stick!! Classic work indeed
Stick on inches....

I have learned the hard way ...Measure a half dozen times when you tack weld and another half dozen times when welding
glad to see you start uploading more again

Thanks for taking the time to make a very interesting repair.

You are very talented with torch and welding.
It's great to see a couple of new videos from you. I always enjoy watching you work. I always learn something too.
Glad to see you back.Great video,a job like that take a lot of patients.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Need lot of patience with this kind of work. Much appreciated you and your buddy mobile plant mechanic.fitter
Cool man! I finally got to see you use your crane.
Welcome back to classic work ;)
I replaced the pin and bushings in a D5n one time and it was one solid pin from top to bottom. Was a little more work to get the old pin out and the new one in
Nice job, what a peaceful day! Thanks for sharing, God bless
Great video, glad to see your back
I wanted to see the last part, very interesting
Cool project - thanks for sharing.
I want one of those bearing press deals
Subbed. Love this kind of content.
Me too
11:38 Butterfly on your back :O
Do a tour of your new welding rig
Nice job and an interesting subject.
First time I have ever seen anyone demonstrate a "butterfly weld".
nice job borther u have don that be for . god bless u and your hands
Looks like Quality work right there
Nice welding job!
I’m a a new viewer and subscribed, thanks for a great video!!!!
wonderful video...love it, have you watched CEE Australia?..With Kevin, Kaaren and the Safety Director..Cheers, Paul in Florida
I have a d6m where the back half of the boss broke off. Do you have a part number for that boss
Good torch work hey i like the videos Good 👍 job
great video keep them coming
yup i did, thanks
When you started, I thought "why doesn't he stand it up with the crane and weld it flat?" Then a second later, you did. Lol 😂
Me:”five more taps like that should do it”
*25 taps later*
Me:”huh”
precise to the nearest 1/8"
Great job and video, did it work ?👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice job
Very nice work
Like the NAPA helmet
As always Great Stuff...
Good work keep it up
Did not look like the grease inlet on the new bearing was in line with the greaser hole in the new part you welded on.
Not his job, not his problem lol.
There was a groove in the bearing so Grease can get around it. Having the hole in the middle wasn’t critical.
butterfly @ 11:40
😃
why no pre heat
Man that's a nice rig you got. How long did it take you to work up to that?
Thank you. Took about 6 years. Most of it was because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do what I do for a living at the time.
another video fantastic
Great job sir.
Can u please tell what type of welding electrodes you used
Thank you. 7018 1/8” electrode.
@@EEJester1586

that butterfly tho
Get a carbon arc set up way better than a torch trust me you can get very surgical with those
What rod did you use and what amperage
Where did you get the metal ring? Cat can only sell me the entire section with the ring already connected to replace. All we need is the ring
Everything came from Cat. Are you working on a newer model or something.
Nice custom tailor repair on your pants.. Angle grinder sparks?

What size and type of electrode do you use ? 8:50
What rod were you running? So you crank up oxy pressure to get better blow out when cutting or gouging thicker material like that?
1/8” 7018. Right more oxygen more heat. I run 50 to 70 most days no matter the thickness. It cuts way better than lower pressures and saves time.
What rod are you using?
when you started to weld you started from the bottom of the arch
1. I was told that you weld from top to bottom.(Any tips?)
2. That is one nice umbrella. (I need to get one like that!)

@@EEJester1586 Thank you sir!
Stay safe and don't let the liberals take over
@@EEJester1586 Thank you for the info. Sorry for the delay.
candeservices no worries man glad I could help.
Nice!!!!!!!
I wonder how out of round that machined bore is after all that welding on one hemisphere? be interesting to know how the Cat engineers accounted for that.
Factory may finish the bore after welding, only way you’ll get a perfect hole. A field repair is a field repair.
What rod and settings did you use? Real nice work!
7018 -1/8” 120 amps. On a Engine driven machine 3 gear and 45 on the fine tuning.
Nothing like burning multi-pass 7018
Wonder if that fella has ever knocked a chunk out of that driver pin? We get inspected by Mine Safety, and they raise three different kinds of Cain if the ends of any of our bull pins are mushroomed. It only takes one guy getting hurt for them to go on a national crusade about these things, so you may go a lifetime without it ever happening to you.
Still though, I wouldn't want to be the guy who takes a swing at a driver pin and has a piece of it come back at me....
Bro get a suit case with some dual shield fluxcore you would of been done way quicker and it looks a lot better as well and same properties as 7018
I know I’ve been debating on that. I’ll have one by the end of the year hopefully.
that got to be pre heat right
Nice work . What’s the trash can used for ?
Oddly enough it’s used for trash lol.
Good , It seems most people on our jobs just throw it on the ground and the general contractor deals with it . Like myself I was taught better also .

@@EEJester1586 also you need to learn how to hold a close arc! a long arc make the arc got hotter and thats why the puddle falls out.
Where are you located and what is your rate for this repair
Mississippi. I don’t talk about rate on UA-cam.
Understood.
that is where wire feed would be grate
Why you didn't heat the surface before welding?
I normally don’t preheat any metal if I’m stick welding. If the code requires it I will but in this case AWS code D1.1 doesn’t require preheat on low hydrogen electrodes welds unless the ambient temperature is 32 degrees or less.
@@EEJester1586 thanks for the answer.. i appreciate it
Classic Work wondering if anti sease should be applied to pins prior to them being driven in for ease of removal ?
@@dougbormann3972 , I'd be worried about grease contamination, and the Anti-Seize picking up grit.

Where did you get that boss you welded in
It came from Caterpillar.
@@EEJester1586 they tell me they can’t get just the boss
@@andysmith3917 really that’s weird. I’ll have to ask Mr. Lee I’ll get back with you on that.
@@EEJester1586 I appreciate it man
@@andysmith3917 I talked to Mr. Lee he said all the parts come from Cat. They may call it a different name than what I said.
How much it cost that work!?
Less than getting Caterpillar out to do it.
@@Coffreek and much is that!?
Whats the name of the mobile bearing press? Great tool
It’s a OTC power pack with a 30 ton through hole hydraulic ram. Inch and a quarter all thread grade 8 with a homemade bushing installer.
some never sieze on those pins would be nice
Like your videos, but Ads are making it almost unwatchable.
I noticed that too. UA-cam updated some weird stuff I’m going to fix this. I swear man they can’t leave stuff alone.
