In this video I remove a seized in pin from a excavator quick hitch with help from the thermal lance and big hammer.
So, the customer had already had ago at trying to remove the pin but couldn’t manage it.
I use the thermal lance to melt away the middle of the pin, after cooling the pin down by running water through it, I then try to knock it out with no luck.
After melting more of the pin out, it does start to move but very slowly, too slowly to carry on, even with the added heat from the pepper pot torch it was still slow. So, a final go with the lance is enough to get it moving. Then its just a case of giving it the beans with the big hammer until the pin finally knocks out.
I clean up the welds from where I had the pin support welded on and that’s my job done.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching! - Наука та технологія

Yes to an engine rebuild video - thank you for the videos
Well done. Hope the customer paid you well for a job that most people could not do. Plus extra for the "I'm a small fella doing a big fella's job".
Imagine the customers bill, $120 x3 hours for repair work, $200 x1 hour sledge hammer work
Iv been tempted to do that sometimes 😂
@@fowletm1992 🤣🤣🤣
Only took 26 mins and 45 seconds. Call it half an hour. Video available to prove the work done.
@@willdean142 😀 LOL
Stay tuned for the massive press build folks...Thanks for posting.
Oh my! That is one of the scariest tools I have ever seen!😮 Good job getting the pin out! Thanks for letting us watch.
You would benefit from either lowering the work or elevating yourself when swinging the steel block. And it would put more energy into each blow.
Came here to say the same thing. He's got the work too high resulting on him hitting the punch at a 45' angle. Lowering the work would get him hitting the face square and also having more swing force impacting the work.
Do apologise I never watched all the footage
Agree about knee height is most efficient.
That was a hard fought win, but great job! Sometimes, those thermal lances are just about the only feasible option. Would definitely be interested in watching motor rebuild content. Thanks!
Great work, it's always the simple 'can you just' jobs which prove to be a right pain!
Wouldn't worry about the grease nipple... it doesn't look like it's ever been used! 😂
That might be a lesson for someone maintaining this machine!
Definately like to see engine work. Like everything, great channel thank you for giving us a insight into your work.
Thank you for watching!
@@snowballengineeringshould used digger to push it out 😂
That was a rough one. Always good to see the end of these kind of jobs go out the door. Nicely done
Like they say "Hit the s.o.b." now you have a reservoir for extra grease!!! Have to enter you for the next He-man contest!!!
Well done, Oliver. You certainly got your workout for the day! Love to see you put your tractor together. Keep up the good work!
That pin fought its extradition every milli meter! Great approach and perseverance. Much respect.
Man, that was hard work.Sledge hammers can make you age very quickly.
Oooo we do watch the same channels!. Nice seeing you here my hilarious shaper machine hero UA-camr guy
I found this most interesting having not seen a lance being used before. After watching a few of your very enjoyable videos, I am sure you will come up with a jig for the lance in order to keep the blast straight. WELL DONE
Great job.
I admire your determination.
Outstanding job.
I think that you did the best choice for extracting the pin.
Nice work.
You definitely worked hard on this job.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Anything stubborn I've ever come across,I always pour red diesel on it,,just a small amount,,and leave it to work it's way in...Never failed yet..
Stuck JCB pins in 3cx are the worst...
Didn’t really have time to let anything soak in, this was a job done the same day it was brought in.
Definitely interested in the engine rebuild. As you said a big press would have been handy, it's a pity you can't build your own.
I faced a job like this and I didn’t know what to do. It’s time to purchase a thermal lance. Thanks for sharing the level of difficulty. It’s important to know this going in.
I've had problems knocking shafts out in the past where I was too gentle initially and all I did was mushroom the end by a couple of thou, then it takes bigger hammers to shift it!
Please do a video on your engine rebuild, that would be an interesting diversion.
Used to use a big sledge like that to break concrete,Lots of respect to you for being persistent.I know the pain,literally.
Fantastic problem solving as usual.
Great UA-cam channel! Enjoy it very much. So good to see practical work being done!!
Thank you!
This is one of the reasons I like your channel... You show the jobs warts and all.. All the can you just... And it's only... The consumables are always the small part.. It's the time and the effort.. And the knowledge... And no.. Not everyone's got a 300 T press in the corner of the workshop! Thanks again! As for engine rebuilds... Yes I'm up for that too😂
I got tired just WATCHING that. Reminded me of a summer I spent digging out stumps at my father's house - brutally hard labor. Well done!
Gday, I’ve heard of thermal Lance machines before but never seen one in use, certainly burns the rods up quickly, are they an expensive consumable?, you did bloody good to get the pin out and it’s almost time for a big press build, definitely keen to see the engine rebuild to, great video mate, cheers
The rods are about £3.77 each last time I bought some so are quite expensive considering how fast they burn away. A big press build is a good idea! Thanks Matty.
Being skinny, the struggle is real! …awesome vid, keep ‘em coming.
That was a ball ache.
Have you ever pressed new trough sections for a iae calf creep feeder?
There basically a tube with several lengths of steel wire in them, copper coated, same as Mig wire, I did see a shop made one, it wasxabout 8 foot long and 1" diameter, never seen it used though.
They are not that expensibe when you consider how much faster this is, compared to pressing, Oxy-Ace,Hammering or milling it out
Great job mate ~ your perseverance paid off in the end ~ you swung that sledge like a champ 👍🏻
Great confidence there. Many would baulk and go for a press or cut. Excellent.
Nice one Oliver, quick tip, when using a sledge hammer, bring your hands together as you swing (like a lumberjack uses an axe) you'll be surprised by how much easier it is, and how much harder it hits 👍
This also keeps your hands as far away from head as possible in case of a glancing blow eg 21:40 . Choking up on the hammer is a great way to crush fingers when you miss. Also, are you hammering left handed?
Brilliant , Love to the engine rebuild.
I think you are a master of your craft and you can solve any problem. Your ability is boundless. I would never under estimate your capabilities but I do hope your channel grows. Subscribed a short while back, from Durban, South Africa. All the best, yes make that cylinder block build, would love to see it...
Nice work with the sledge mate . Its good to see the variety of work to do keep it up Oliver .
Well done that looked like a tough one.
You are a hard working smart young man LOVE YOUR CHANNEL KEEP the good work and be safe
Engine rebuild .Well done Oliver 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Love to see a video on the engine. Nice job btw
I wouldn't have worried about repairing the grease nipple as it doesn't look like they used it 😂
Top job on getting that pin out!
Despite all the high powered, high tech, tools it was still the bigger hammer that got the job done. 😀Bravo, well done! I was exhausted just watching you.
Great to see everything coming along nicely, very well done I love your layout
Another great video and sheer determination
Great video! That was one stuck pin! It would be awesome to see a video on you rebuilding the tractor! I really like seeing all of your techniques on metal working. Great job!
Definitely would like to see a video on the tractor engine build.
This was super fun to watch. Smart to use the jack stands to reduce wasted energy.
For a little guy you did an outstanding job ! Swinging a big sledge is scary enough for anyone !
Always a pleasure. Definitely a struggle but, you worked it out
Keep up the good work Oliver. Yes to the rebuild from me. Thanks
I've never seen such a dainty thermal lance probe before, I have seen much larger diameter probes, but yours is ideal for stuck pins etc. I'm the same as you, I am not built for a sledge hammer routine, but I can swing it for a time, and then I have to take a break. Well done though, some collateral damage but not critical. Great post, we have so much variety watching you, stay safe and well 👍
You did a great job! Thanks for the video.
Well done Ollie. as the old saying goes, "If in doubt, use a bigger hammer". Love watching your videos, from Oz , on a 6,000 acre wheat and barley farm !
Hello from the US. Oliver, she was a tough one but you prevailed. Great job!
Thanks!
Ótimo trabalho, abraços do velho professor do Brasil.
Not easy jobs frozen pins, well done. More tractor content is always welcome.
Well done. Thank you for cool and informative videos.
I’ve never seen a burning rod like that. Pretty slick!
I needed a break just watching. Well done.
Another success story. Thanks for the videos.
Lot of hard work on that, I really hope you got paid well for doing what most others would not touch.
I enjoyed the video
I’ve only seen a thermal lance used in movies to cut into safes!
That was a hell of a fight with the pin! I thought you did well swing the sledge - accurate hits despite fatigue. Nobody is built to swing a sledge at full strength for that long!
Good luck with your business, and future tool acquisition!
That was one hell of a workout well done thanks.
amazing effort
I mostly find the little fellas have more stamina than the big lumps. Perseverance is the key 🙂
After watching this video MY arms are sore! Great video!
Never seen or Heard of a Thermal Lance! Cool bit of kit!
Im sure id be interested in most projects you do!
Like to see more of the thermal Lance and how exactly it works . Engine work would be good too.
Really great video, felt those last few blows, could tell you were knackered but you kept going. (stop sniggering at the back). YES, do the engine.
Love to see that engine rebuilt!!!
Well done, mate. Great job.
Hell yeah! Put that engine back together! And this was a very tough job! Removing the pin! Great video! Keep them coming!!👌👍
Nothing replaces hard work and it sure fought you all the way. Another win though. It would be good, if you could to film the engine build for all us old wasa’s that can’t get out there no more (I wasa truck mechanic when I wore younger man’s clothes)😂
Thanks for posting once more you made my Sunday start good.
...NONE of us are getting any YOUNG-(!)
Oliver I felt your pain all the way with that pin some of those Dromone hitches have given us a few grey hairs, keep up the great videos mate
Yes make a video, I enjoy the stuff you do
Try putting in some oil and then diesel in order to let the lubricant get around the outside of the stuck pin, this will make it easy to get the pin out with less energy.
You did another excellent job there Young Man .
Thanks for sharing……..
Yes to an engine rebuild
Great video well done on geting that pin out.
Well done with that. I have been there with stuck pins, they are no joke. The customer might not need you to fix the grease nipple judging by where the pin was stuck. He obviously saves lots of money by not using too much grease.
Really enjoyed your video and your persistence 👌👌
Awesome video, thank you
Well done great job yes like to see engine rebuild on puller👍
I would love to see you work on your tractor pulling engine. I enjoy all of the videos you choose to share with us!
Swinging the sledge will test you and make a man of you bud , great persistence 👍🏻🇬🇧
Quite the challenge and a helluva workout! I bet you were sore the following day. Great job!!!
I was a bit 🤣
Well done on the pin removal - it was a tough one. Engine rebuild would be great - please.
Wow!
You did it!
Good on! 😊
Good persistence. Like to see the next video with replacing the head. Cheers!
Man,, You worked HARD FOR THAT DOLLAR!!! Great job!!
What a mission!!!....That looked proper hard graft. What a man has to do for a living.
I know this is going to sound easier than it actually is, but when it comes to driving out seized pins with a sledge hammer it is important to get your hips higher or at least the same level as the strike point, so that more Kinetic energy can be delivered to the top of the of the drift to dislodge the pin. This can be achieved by standing on the pallet (obviously properly sured up on each of the corners of the pallet) so that more strike force will be squarely delivered with a "bit" less energy loss and less fatigue to the working muscles. It will also mean that the drift will not be struck at an angle resulting in losing some of that much needed downward force. I do hope that this makes sense as I am not trying to be smart I just know from experience....But none the less..Well done! as I'm sure you would have preferred the use of a 20T press instead, especially If you have to do another on of these again. I am a new subscriber and will be looking forward to viewing all you content. Best wishes.
that was some mission getting that out !!!!! but you did a top job as usual 👍
Excellent job! Thanks for filming your work which only makes your job harder. Bottom line here is the machine owner neglected greasing that pin and it seized up and provided you with a head ache. Machine down time and a big repair bill may encourage them to start their day with a grease gun rather than rushing into the job at hand.
You earned your money on this job I was out of breath watching you swing the sledgehammer defo interested in the engine side I watch a channel called Barum engines and obviously cutting edge engineering
By ‘eck that looked like it was some graft! Well done!
Hello, nice job, Never seen a thermal lance in action befire. Great perseverance. fantstic result.
Another cracking video, always interested in what ever your doing
Epic! well done.
Absolutely interested in a rebuild video!!!
Those arms are going to be burning the next day 💪
Persistence paid off. I was expecting an “I win” when the pin fell out.
Didn't miss that pin once swinging that sledge hammer. Great job.
You worked very hard to salvage this component. I have a suggestion. Understand that I have no current costs to provide you. The method I am suggesting is to use some flexible ceramic pad heaters (FCP) to heat the entire piece to about 1050 F (565C). The pin should come out with a great deal less force required.! You would set up the piece on little stand just as you build for driving the pin out were it a lot less jammed in the hole using the same logic with a guide, etc. The heaters are available (perhaps for hire?) from Stork-Cooperheat in Southport UK and can be powered from a standard 400 amp + or - stick welding machine. The part would be wrapped in a Kaowool blanket. There are several ways to control the temperature ramping and the way prescribed as the simplest /least cost would be the way to go. When the piece reaches temperature with a few minutes soaking just expose the top and drive the pin out. You would have the Kaowool left for use in preheating, etc. in the future. The FCPs would be returned or kept for future projects depending upon the cost/benefit to you. Cheers!
Poxa!! Ja estava sentindo falta de outro vídeo.
Well done you made me tired just watching you,you will sleep well tonight 😊tractor rebuild will be very interesting,stay safe
Now I need a nap after watching all that work.
