I was a mechanic/carpenter for over forty years and had a ton of tools. Five years ago, the wife talked me into selling most of my tools and shop! Two years ago, she talked me into selling the last of my tools in preparation for retirement into Mexico. We spent a month in Queretaro, Mx. I absolutely loved it and was looking forward to the menjana lifestyle! After a month, she began to have a women fit and decided that she did not want to retire there so we moved back to Tennessee and purchased a new home. I am now having to purchase all new tools! That is the silver lining LOL!
That friend sounds so familiar, my wife decided that we would by that I mean me redecorate and refurbish our bedroom. It took me a couple of weeks to clear out strip all the walls and removed a fitted wardrobe, I then duly redecorated with the colour that she chose. Then unfortunately my wife was ill and was in bed for a couple of months, at the end of the time she said and I quote, 'I hate that colour of paint you need to redecorate'. This coming June god willing it will be our 42nd wedding anniversary, and you know what if I knew now what I knew then, I'd still say I do.
Nice Job, that bore turned out sweet! You can use a Cylinder Hone on bores like this if you only need a thousandth or so. Also slicks up the surface finish and bushings slide easer.
The Bronze Bushings you installed is most likely Ampco 18. This alloy mix handles high load pressure better. Now you are correct on the Graphite in it. This style bushing some what self lubricating. Oil is used at first. From past experience grease can be used but tends to erode the graphite. Where I worked used this style bushings on dies for Automotive industry.
That turned out really good. That hydraulic press turned out pretty good for pulling in the The bushings worked really good. Coming handy down the road that's for sure. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
It's weird how I can sit here and just watch you guys work for almost an hour sometimes,😐, it must be Clint's soothing voice, lol, tho he's also very good at explaining everything,👍, great video guys, and thanks for sharing.
My dad owned his own construction company when I was a kid and watching you and your boys reminds me so much of my dad teaching me to run equipment as a kid. I ran backhoes, loaders, excavators, crawler cranes, etc before I was 16. Keep up the great work and videos!
Mason's steep learning curve will serve him well in the future. He is a well rounded intelligent young man. Shame he wants to be an electrician, my experience of electricians in my 45 years in construction is that they are all prima donnas, stick with the big plant Mason.
Amazing wrap up on this one...that new tool to set the bushings definitely is a game changer. Appreciate you sharing your day with us and looking forward to seeing your next adventure 😎👨🔧🛠️🔧🚜🇺🇸😇👨🏭
👏👏👏👏👏that for Tucker , he deserves it for how well he does everything, great video Clint, don't forget about Kevin with out him we just wouldn't laugh as much.👍👍👍👍👍
Turned out great again guys 👍. Now you know how to get Kevin happy, keep Heath bars in the fridge for him 😂😂😂. It's been nice to have a change from the dozer jobs and doing something different. Almost time for another normal day in the shop day again. I hope your customers are happy for a long time.
You guys are so lucky to be doing what you love have fun doing it. Many of us are stuck in shit shows and my escape is watching you guys and other similar channels👍
What you can do instead of making go/no-go gauges every time is make a simple telescopic gauge on the lathe. Just a drilled piece of bar that fits through the boring bar, with a smaller diameter bar that slides into it. A set screw to secure it at bore size, remove and measure with a micrometer or calipers. Round the ends over so you get a true reading
Any real man would be proud to work in a shop like yours ,you have great people and do excellent work. You make hard work look easy but that only comes with a whole lot of experience ! Love watching you guys work ,keep up the good work !!
Thank you for your channel. I have so much more respect for the intelligence and creative and problem solving minds of mechanics. You have so many different tools, machines cutters, welders, engine fixing tools and testers. All the spare parts and sheets of metal you keep on hand. Of course, you all can do it all and or learn or teach how to do it! An excellent problem solving and planning career you all have!👍👍
Hi Clint, That fix on the Case will last for quite a while. Nicely done. That line boring jig is the way to fix those out of round holes! I hope you get some good use out of that stuff I sent you, god knows that Weller traveled around the world with me! Sometime surplus tools need a good home, enjoy it! Thanks for da SWAG!
All right! Someone followed through with a can of DeoxIT for you. It is simply the best long-term solution for keeping electronic connectors working and protected!
Damn, that pin testfit was so satisfying! There's something about precise fitment, may it be in heavy machinery or tools. 😎🤟 Or maybe I'm just spoiled by Kurtis from CEE Australia... 😁
Did you guys just do another repair with your "unprofessional" machining methods??? Nice work guys 👍 Additionally well done to the legend that is Mason and also to Tucker for some fine machine control in a confined space 10/10 gentleman 👍
You can add a hydraulic pressure gauge to the line to see what your working pressure is to stop an issue if needed. But you may have a pressure gauge on the pump already. Thanks again for your sharing!
I SEE YOUR TRAINING KEV TO BE ADDICTED TO THAT HAMMER . SMALL ONE FIRST THEN THE BIG ONE LATER . YOUR A DEVOURS. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU SPOT THE BOSS OF THE SHOP . HES THE ONE WHO GIVES THE ORDERS AND IS THE ONE THAT GOES HOME THE CLEANEST. AND TAKES ALL THE CREDIT. TRUE STOREY.
Using those vevor products i see. I'm surprised they work so well for the price. I'm suprised to see someone using them for such heavy applications. Another professional job a plus for your customer.
That was a slick set up putting the bushings in and Mason lifted that pin like a champ! Hose boys are living the best life ever learning on the job training from you who has a wealth of experience. They couldn’t be in better hands. Love your videos and always look forward to the antics that goes with working in a shop with guys being guys.
4/19/24..hey Clint, another great presentation & machine shop level of 'weld fill-in/build-up' & 'line-bore-to-spec' for (large..3"od?) pin-in-bushing excavator arm-to-stick (exacting) fit....if it don't 'hinge, it don't fit'...but your repair worked fine! Appreciate your comments on learning more on this Line Boreing machine + new yellow Bushing install, Porta-Power type, machine-gun quick hammer-in tool; that made fast work of this major repair! Am sure you will be using this tool again to retro bushing/pin fit repairs; gotta be some good $$ to do that!😊 Stay safe & carry on Clint. Good job to all guys at Team C&C!💪👍💥🔧🔩✅️🍺😊
Nice line bore job. We used the puller rams to install bushing as well, sure saves a lot of aggravation on installation. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
I didin't read all the commens but you don't want to use a regular all thread rod with a hydraulic cylindre. they make special rod that can have 30 or 50 tons of force without breaking. And we always put a second nut with a clevis or something on the rod and a chain so if the rod break it will not go fly around the shop.
I'm a very old guy it amazes me the equipment that you guys get to use nowadays,, I'm sure if I tried to use that cutter I would somehow have 1/2 of the building cut down before I could get it turned back off😂❤
As a tool & die maker I'm used to tight tolerances. I couldn't figure out how you were going to check that bore. It's amazing to me how well that worked for you!!! Great job!!

Al Bundy was right about everything

I’d of stayed and sent her back to mom.
That’s funny
My grandfather taught me, you never go wrong investing in quality tools. You expand your abilities and offerings to your customers.
You got that right, his words still stand the test of time.
Cry only ONCE -- buy the best!
I really hope all these young Men stay in the business, Tucker, Hunter and Mason all have a lot of potential. Ten thumbs up emoji's.
That is the first time that I have actually seen a pull through hydraulic tool in action, COOL!
y’all are the perfect example of good old American ingenuity and can-do. Great video series, Clint!
Another satisfied customer getting a quality piece of equipment. That sure did tighten those joints up. And all that with no drama. Bill
"That wasn't terrible" ..lol - hah, - another gem from the C&C team.
U guys Rock !! Tight,Tidy,, always well done!! Coffees on! Cheers!;-)!
Nice Job, that bore turned out sweet! You can use a Cylinder Hone on bores like this if you only need a thousandth or so. Also slicks up the surface finish and bushings slide easer.
Great job to all that worked on the Escavator. Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊
Looks like you need to build an addition to the shop that includes a high bay to work on tall equipment!
Y’all look like the blues brothers standing there together with ur shades on😂.
The Bronze Bushings you installed is most likely Ampco 18. This alloy mix handles high load pressure better. Now you are correct on the Graphite in it. This style bushing some what self lubricating. Oil is used at first. From past experience grease can be used but tends to erode the graphite. Where I worked used this style bushings on dies for Automotive industry.
Nice to see it back together. Surprised with as low of hours and as nice as the rest of the machine is it got egg shaped.
That's what I thought as well. Lack of grease or hydraulic hammer is my guess.
Side swiping using the slewing too much would also explain those symptoms.
Great job Tucker 👏👏👏👏an exercise is skill and confidence building, good job dad.
Kevin you make me smile a lot.
That boom pin looks like it fits better than factory. Enjoy your videos.
Like the video CX300D Case , thanks Clint and every body ho work on it .
Man that can of Deoxit D5 is like $30. I'm jealous. It's good stuff
Nice looking D7F in the background there guys.
Thanks for another quality video.
That turned out really good. That hydraulic press turned out pretty good for pulling in the The bushings worked really good. Coming handy down the road that's for sure. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Sweet video. You do amazing work and a treat to watch. Class act . Thanks Clinton.
Clint you run a great ship, your work ethic with your employees is impressive, great vids , give the boys a good clatter on their backs from me.
Impressive for sure goes to show right tools and a master leadership makes it look simple can’t wait for the next one 👍👋🇨🇦
I like the slow-mo shots, boring and or lathe
Mason's steep learning curve will serve him well in the future. He is a well rounded intelligent young man. Shame he wants to be an electrician, my experience of electricians in my 45 years in construction is that they are all prima donnas, stick with the big plant Mason.
No bad thing, as plant will be going more electrical in the future- or at least desiel-electric
Great job on getting this baby back up and running 💪💪 Keep them coming Clint!!🤗🇺🇸
Amazing wrap up on this one...that new tool to set the bushings definitely is a game changer. Appreciate you sharing your day with us and looking forward to seeing your next adventure 😎👨🔧🛠️🔧🚜🇺🇸😇👨🏭
this is a LOT of exp teaching a LOT of lucky students
Precision manufacturing and fitting from c/c equipment nicely done people
Most satisfying to watch those bushes being pulled in. Well done you guys.
It’s about time you got a hollow ram. You are gonna love it. They can do a lot of things…..fantastic gadget.
I like working on equipment Clinton keep the videos coming please
Excellent work from all you guys carrying out those difficult repairs. I'm very impressed with that new bushing installation tool.
👋 Nice stick work Tucker.
Very interesting. You guys do a great job.
👏👏👏👏👏that for Tucker , he deserves it for how well he does everything, great video Clint, don't forget about Kevin with out him we just wouldn't laugh as much.👍👍👍👍👍
Good work guys!
Great job on the boarding and welding pretty good tool
Turned out great again guys 👍. Now you know how to get Kevin happy, keep Heath bars in the fridge for him 😂😂😂. It's been nice to have a change from the dozer jobs and doing something different.

Heath bars Yay

Round the ends over so you get a true reading
You can also buy them fairly cheap as a set, called snap gauges (same principle as you mentioned but sprung loaded)
Good to see Kevin’s nuts have finally dropped…… good team effort again, love the new gear, awesome
Always wondered how to do this. Im impressed. Very neat.
Great crew! Awesome to see you expanding the shop’s capacity. To do more for your customers.
Any real man would be proud to work in a shop like yours ,you have great people and do excellent work. You make hard work look easy but that only comes with a whole lot of experience ! Love watching you guys work ,keep up the good work !!

I know it’s not all cotton candy and rainbows. But, retiring from the army in 6 months you truly have my dream job.

Nice work guys 👍
Additionally well done to the legend that is Mason and also to Tucker for some fine machine control in a confined space
10/10 gentleman 👍
8 to 10 minutes placed on 4 small balls of foil to allow for an air gap between the baking sheet and the board. Then allow to cool.
You can add a hydraulic pressure gauge to the line to see what your working pressure is to stop an issue if needed. But you may have a pressure gauge on the pump already. Thanks again for your sharing!
Good job clap clap!
Amazing skills and knowledge. Great buisness. There is.a.reason you sell so much equipment. Super reputation. Great video.
You got alllll the tools Big Man 💯
Good job guys always a pleasure to watch
Excellent repair!
4:48 i have such cylinder, get the rods with ACME threads, that’s much stronger thread for that application. One rod costs something 40€ here.
Another great job at C & C Equipment and another happy customer. Kevin is certainly a great guy and good for laughs.
I SEE YOUR TRAINING KEV TO BE ADDICTED TO THAT HAMMER . SMALL ONE FIRST THEN THE BIG ONE LATER . YOUR A DEVOURS. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU SPOT THE BOSS OF THE SHOP . HES THE ONE WHO GIVES THE ORDERS AND IS THE ONE THAT GOES HOME THE CLEANEST. AND TAKES ALL THE CREDIT. TRUE STOREY.
Great rebuild
That is pretty cool 👍tool
Using those vevor products i see. I'm surprised they work so well for the price. I'm suprised to see someone using them for such heavy applications. Another professional job a plus for your customer.
You Werner a good excavatordriver Tucker👍👍
It is good to see you invest in good tools.
that is a slick unit for sure
Good job Tucker 👍👍
what is that at 6 minutes.. new Toyota Forklift truck
.. worked 30 years at a local dealership in germany.. and thank you for the good video stuff..
GREAT JOB GREAT AND A GREAT PRESSING MACHINE
That appears to have a tighter tolerance than new. Good job MEN!
Excellent work guys
Omg that looks like a stevey wonder welded it and board it out
very nicely done
I have been missing some fabrication. Thank you for the videos everytime a new one pops up I get excited.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I bet that puller would be a heck of a dent puller. . .or pull a car door clean off. 😉
That was a slick set up putting the bushings in and Mason lifted that pin like a champ!
Hose boys are living the best life ever learning on the job training from you who has a wealth of experience.
They couldn’t be in better hands.
Love your videos and always look forward to the antics that goes with working in a shop with guys being guys.
That backhoe is like brand new as usual great job by all ❤️🙏👍🍺
That fit is a thing of beauty. The crew done an awesome job once again

Great job, Tucker weld er up Now 😊
Enjoyed both videos, great work guys.
Nice work Guys! Really impressed with that porta power press! 👍 Y’all always do nice work
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you, your crew, and families the best.
Great job y'all !!! ...always interesting ...
Good to See You Fine Folk’s, I’m Right on Time. Maybe you are the One’s on Time? Ask Kevin
THANKS!
I'm a very old guy it amazes me the equipment that you guys get to use nowadays,, I'm sure if I tried to use that cutter I would somehow have 1/2 of the building cut down before I could get it turned back off😂❤
Big red button. Smash it... full stop.
Man…what a fantastic repair. You guys are really good.
As a tool & die maker I'm used to tight tolerances. I couldn't figure out how you were going to check that bore. It's amazing to me how well that worked for you!!! Great job!!
A very nifty handy gadget for the toolbox,very nice c&c, job well done.
Those two pieces of the boom joining was like a docking at the International Space Station 🛰
