    In this video I repair yet another broken JCB TM320 headstock. This one is a pin and cone headstock so the repair process is slightly different to the recent Q Fit ones.
    Firstly, the remains of the old plates are removed, cut off with the plasma cutter, gouged away with the arc air gouger and then smoothed off with the grinder. The usual cracks are found at the weld edge, these are also gouged out but with the plasma.
    New bigger plates are profiled out on the cnc table from 25mm plate using the gas cutting torch, these are then cleaned up, drilled and tapped for the M16 bolt to hold the pin in.
    The headstock is welded down onto the bench with some prestress to help prevent it from bowing due to welding. Its preheated and the cracks are welded up.
    Next job is to tack the new plates into position and cut and press the strengthening plate to fit in the middle. A plate to go under the upright plates is also plasma cut from 10mm plate.
    Everything is then welded up. After its cooled down, the pressure is released from the headstock by cutting it off the bench.
    It can then be line bored back to size.
    I make the decision to quickly test fit it onto our own machine, all fits good so final good is to give it a paint.
    Hope you enjoyed the video
    Thanks for watching!

    I like this sort of stuff. No stupid unnecessarily over dramatic title, no cliff hangers, huge beards,even bigger egos, mirrored sunglasses and backwards baseball caps and fillmed in a workshop full of sponsered tools. Just a straightforward chap demonstrating his skills and explaining everything as he goes. Nice😊

But seriously, this is EXACTLY the kind of person you want on your Zombie Apocalypse Team. "Well, after choppin' off the heads of some of those bigger ones, it looks like ol' Nigel has busted the dozer blade again. I think this time, we'll try beefin' up the welds around the bucket, and maybe add some gussets in the corners, and have him give it another go..."

    It's the notch at the edge of the weld. It's a stress-raiser. Whatever you do that reduces the sharpness of the notch will reduce the fatigue cracking. The way you drew the repair weld it had a larger angle in there, i.e. less sharp, less stress concentration.

      Having spent decades doing this kind of stuff, I can honestly say that it is upwards of 85% of finger trouble- operator induced damage- that causes problems. Owner /operators who think that spending a couple of minutes a day greasing and checking is a complete waste of time and would rather spend thousand having to scream and cry at some poor sod to fix it because they need it that day and it is the most important thing in the world. People literally sobbing.Changing hydraulic filters and checking the oil. I've seen hydraulic oil that is black, totally burnt and as thin as piss causing the pumps and motors to fail because the operator/ owner was too tightarse to spend a few quid. Hydraulics are extraordinarily reliable if maintained. Bushes and linkages that should last thousands of hours are treated as consumables because of piss-poor maintenance. You'll never be short of work Oliver.

    Great video!! One thing to notice when changing from a full penetration weld to fillet weld is that the un-welded portion acts effectively as a crack (stress concentrator). Consequently, I wouldn't perform such welds on anything that sees cyclic pulling forces, as I believe is the case here. Fatigue failure may result from the crack propagating from the unwelded area through the whole thickness of the plate.
    As others have mentioned, full-pen with smoother transitions would be a better option.
    Hope this helps!

    Great job! You need to keep track of these improvements you make, here in USA you can get paid for fixing shit manufacturers mess up. I've made several dollars doing just that. Keep up the great work Oliver. From Texas
