Repair a CRACKED Caterpillar 789 Dump Truck Suspension Part | Machining & Welding

Ғылым және технология

In this video we are machining and welding to repair a cracked Caterpillar 789 Dump Truck suspension part. This part is the top cap of the suspension Front Strut on the dump truck. There is a crack right through the weld joint holding the pin into the top cap and the pin has been damaged. To repair we need to machine out the damaged weld and pin before drilling, boring and weld prep machining the top cap to suit the new pin. We machine up a new pin using 150mm (6” inch) 4140 solid bar and then interference fit into the top cap before MIG welding with Hobart Fabco XL525 dual shield wire. The suspension part is then back in the lathe to finish machining the weld and pin down to size. We then drill and tap a 1" (inch) hole in the pin to complete.

    Hey viewers thanks for watching todays video on repairing the cracked CAT 789 dump truck suspension part. That was our longest video yet! A few machinist porn shots there to enjoy 😂 let us know in the comments which part of the video you liked the best? These front strut parts are obsolete and hard to find 2nd hand so not much choice have to get it repaired. There was a full day in this job to get it all done 😎👍 Subscribe and hit the bell icon to turn on notifications so you don't miss our weekly uploads. 👇 🤳 Follow us online here: Instagram instagram.com/cutting_edge_engineering Facebook facebook.com/cuttingedgeengineeringaustralia/ Official CEE Merch shop: www.ceeshop.com.au

Your missus has clearly either got training or unbelievable natural talent in production (getting audio and editing right for this type of stuff takes skill). I reckon a big part of your audience is people who are not professionals, if there was any way you could show costing of repair vs replacement part I think it would really help people appreciate the value of your work. You are an extremely talented and relatable couple. Keep smashing it!!

    This sure brings back memories of machine shop in high school in the 60s in England, not that we did anything as complex as what is shown here. We had lathes, mills, drills, bandsaws, aluminum casting, welding, brazing, etc. I made a drill vice that is still being used today by my brother. All such learning was thrown out in favor of computers. I was a software engineer for 48 years and machine shop and technical drawing were the basis for my SW skills because it was all problem solving.

    All of your techniques and processes are something to learn from. And you have good habits that all machinist should pay attention to. One that I noticed straight away is removing the chuck T-handle immediately when finished using it. I will be walking down the aisle in our shop and see a chuck with a T-handle just sitting there. Drives me crazy. I harp on them so much about that and they still don’t always do it. I show them videos of a handle getting thrown from a lathe chuck and it punches thru a brick wall like it was drywall. So dangerous. I may just have them watch your videos as a safety training session! Plus they will all love your dog.
