Repairing Final Drive Spindle for BIG D11 Bulldozer! | Machining & Drilling

  • Ever wondered what goes into keeping a huge Caterpillar D11 Bulldozer moving mountains? In this video, we're tackling a worn duo cone assembly off a Cat D11 final drive spindle. We’ll show you the step-by-step process of replacing the old ring with a brand new, upgraded one. We'll be heating things up (safely, of course) to remove the old protective ring, then it's over to our big lathe for some precision machining. We’ll make some metal chips and sparks fly as we create the perfect seat for the new and improved duo cone retaining ring. But that's not all! We'll also be putting our big radial arm drill to work, meticulously drilling and tapping the new bolt holes. So, buckle up and join us as we give this D11 final drive spindle the overhaul it deserves!
    In this video we are using:
    - Shenyang CW6280B Lathe
    - Hafco ZX3050X16 Radial Arm Drill

    In my younger days I worked on a horizontal borer in an aicraft repair facility. The comment that you made about the component belonging to the customer and any mistakes and consquent financial compensation would be born by you reminded me of the occasion when I'd carried out a modification on a customer's main undercarriage leg of a large aircraft only to find that the slot I'd milled was in the wrong place - aargh!!! Mainly sleepless nights followed but the situation was saved after the stress engineers and draughtsmen re-wrote the modification plan - phew!

      Working in the Aerospace industry in the USA for 25 years. The forgings of the parts being made were 200-400 thousand before I even made a chip. Yes, had to be really careful especially taping 3/4 x 16 threads for heli coils. We had very special tooling. Many different size and lead taps just for one hole. All the parts were inspected by in house and government inspectors. Worked on the space shuttle solid rocket motor housings.I did my own rigging and moving of the parts. I found it to be a lot of fun.

And while your videos have encouraged me now, as an older man, to purchase a 10L 1949 South Bend lathe to make chips, when I watch the size of the pieces you work on and look at my tiny 6" chuck, I really appreciate the thought and responsibility it takes to make or repair such large, expensive items. You are a great machinist, and although my parts are tiny in comparison, I learn from your experience.
    I look forward to your videos every Friday morning.

    We used to weld the spindle seal ramp with stainless and re machine. For the hubs I had various diameter tubes rolled from 1.5" stainless plate and the but joint welded full pen with no defects allowed, we then machined press fit rings from the tubes, I worked with a very tallented group of tradesmen and mum and dad companies to bring this all together, some are still in business others have saddly passed or been swollowed up by bigger companies, the skill is to find others with as much skill and passion as yourself to partner with because you will never do it all yourself.

Round it off with Kurtis and Karen’s feathered friends and it is simply some of the best content available.
