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.
WATCH NEXT: Part 2 • Repair Bail Arm BROKEN...
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 ;-)

hey, it's hollow-bar, right? That's much more fragile than solid bar, no? ;) Like, it's just a relative thing? :D I dunno, just a guess. It amused me too. :)
These arms are a real balance act between tough enough to take it, and not tough enough to transfer the damage to the machine. Whomever mathed them out, really knew what they were doing.

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😎

Yes it's a real fine skill. It's great to know the theory and I went to school for that also. That education prepared me for the 25 year journey that I continue to learn to this very day. Experience and common sense is what makes one highly efficient and not lose quality. There really is no short cuts to get good. Just get up at 4am everyday and work till the sun goes down....... After 25 years anyone will be good if they love what they do.
I had never heard of gouging rods before I started watching this channel, but Kurtis makes it look like an absolute art form. The surface it leaves is just beautiful.

I find I feel working with metal to be very calming and natural.

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.

cheers mate thanks for always watching
Love your use of the 20 mil workbench! It's just a shop tool, so use it as the need arises. Thanks again for the videos.
I don't care what part of the world you come from...hands down you are one of the best operators I have seen. I've seen a lot of wannabes, but you my friend are one of the very best! It's just very impressive. Best wishes to you guys.
Thanks for the video!! Appreciate both the Giggler and Karl for their work!! [Grin]

That jig is quite an investment, he must do a lot of those to justify the cost.
I love that you cut your table up to get a job done ! You do what you gotta do. Love it !
Great work as always, you remind me so much of my dad - He would ALWAYS do the work the right way even if it was allot more work.. Great way to be !! And you dog is the spitting image of my staffy "Zeus" I lost 2 years back, he loved going anywhere and everywhere with me in the car.. Keep up amazing vids !!
The forensics of the damage is fascinating.
Nice work guys - Karen - you are really nailing it with the camera work - excellent - makes it so much easier to watch/enjoy! (Hardly noticed the FUBAR)

It is great that you give us the economics of these repairs. It helps us understand and appreciate the value you provide to your customers.
Not gunna lie .... I skipped to the "Bloopers" and Homeless.... Then went back and watched the normal stuff. Sadly I have grown accustomed to the phenomenal work ethic, Attention to detail, and Master Level craftsmanship. Hooroo mate! =)
