Repair Bail Arm BROKEN Into 3 Pieces | Part 1 | CAT 637 Scraper

Ғылым және технология

This earthmoving part is completely broken into 3 pieces and we’re going to fix it! This is a Bail Arm off a twin drive push-pull Caterpillar 637 Scraper. The bail arm is used to hook up one scraper to another one in front of it so they can assist each other with taking big cuts. This bail arm has a lot of damage, both ends have broken off and one of the ends is bent. In this Part 1 video we show the step by step process of disassembling all the parts using an air arc gouger and grinding to prep them ready for assembly. We also use our 150 tonne hydraulic press to straighten the bent end before machining new pieces of hollow bar that will replace the broken sections of the bail arm.

In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 welder
- Hafco HMP-150T Hydraulic press
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe

    Nah, he just grabbed the first roll of tape he found laying around. And as there's hardly anything fragile in that supplier's shop the tape is probably some cheap-sourced one from some surplus sale or stock sell-off of some company that went belly up. A tape is a tape, and if it sells for a third of the regular price it could have "biohazard" printed on it and no one would care ;-)

    I agree completely. I think it also serves another couple of purposes though. It gives it enough flex to not break in normal usage but still bend/break when the guy ballses it up and crashes it in the wrong position. I think it also helps in actually making it. If the loop was solid bar to the pivots it would be a right pain to get set up nicely for welding together. I reckon it's a long learned design rather than someone actually doing stress analysis stuff. Awesome thing😎

I don't even work with metal outside of minor hobby stuff, but I find how it applies to what I am doing. I wish I had gone into working with metal instead of computers. My uncle was an artist at metal working, but he used his skills to make motorcycles, trucks, and of course worked full-time as a welder most of his life. I find I feel working with metal to be very calming and natural.

    Gday Kurtis and Karen, the previous repair certainly didn’t do the job but it’ll leave this workshop done properly, the cost of components and availability isn’t going to get better anytime soon, good to see Homey got a clear bill of health, awesome job as always, have a great weekend, cheers

    Ok, 4 months later..... Either you do a lot of these repairs or you borrowed the weld jig from somewhere. Not knowing, I was wondering if you were going to take us out to the site to measure a good one so you had all the correct dimensions.. I love your videos. I'm retired now but love to see the artistry of a true fabricator and manual machinist again. I ended my career as a CNC programmer but you're doing it how my father, no longer with us, taught me. He always told me "a good machinist can do whatever he puts his mind to." I truly believe that.

    Things will always find a way to break . The best thing is to give it place to break that is not hidden and easy to get at. Production quotas are always set at +20% of machines capacity and then if a mechanic sees the breakage starting and reports it the usual response is "Do you know how much it's gonna cost to fix that?"
