CAT 330C Track Tensioner - Tailor Your Repairs to the Situation!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- In this video, Cam the Heavy Duty Mechanic, inspects and reseals a track tensioner off a CAT 330C Excavator. Unfortunately, one track tensioner needed re-chroming and so a re-manned (re-manufactured) unit was purchased to get the 330C up and running again as quick as possible.
We also go over tailoring your repairs to the situation. There's a lot of things you need to consider and every job is different.

To be fair , I think Deere pricing is set by a 4 year old who has no concept of money, and big numbers are good numbers
I think that’s all of the dealers,
Finning, SMS, Brandt, there pricing is all gouging ! Lol
That is true! Volvo also!
That's where they make their money, you just bought a lifetime of overpriced replacement parts.
Hey thanks for the feature. The truck is mine. Been working out of it for a few years. I do repairs on my dad's construction business equipment and trucks mostly but take on customers as well. It's been the best purchase I've made when it comes to field work. Couldn't make it without it. Love the videos. I know they take alot to film and edit. Always hoping to see a new one posted.
I know most might find it boring but seeing how you guys up north tackle diagnosis stuff would be cool to see. Cylinders drifting, stuff bypassing, implement not functioning etc etc. love the content I still think these should have a kajillion more views than they get.
im a mechanic in the army and this is something im looking into for my career once i get out and watching these vids give me a little bit of insight of your day to day operations as well giving a comedic relief to a stressful job. well done on the vids
Installing the wiper after you slide the piston in makes it a lot easier and quicker but always tons of ways to get something done
I rebuild these a lot and I highly recommend putting the wiper/dust seal on after the post is in makes it easier as the tube has a chamfer
I would like to see more hydraulic diagnostics and repairs.
I work in a hydraulic shop and we’ve had to use compressed air to blow pistons out of the barrel when the rod breaks off. We put a garbage can in front of the barrel to “catch” the piston. We’ve blown the living shit out of many cans 😂
Interesting. Good to watch. Thx. Watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😊🎉
Cam is by far my favorite guy to watch, then Tyler!
Another good one guys. Keep em coming.
Stuff like that ring compressor is priceless tips man thanks for the video Cam as always learn something useful and get a laugh or 10
Hes banned from alot of aquariums 🤣 those poor seals. Don't forget to lube those seals up before you slide your dirty pitted rod in there 👌 best channel ever. Love all the videos of Cam. Carson must be on summer vacation? Or is this a Saturday job?
I keep an aluminum bowl on my truck an put my map gas torch on the bottom of it an put enough water in there to get the seals pliable
I love watching this guy. I’m a welder but it Makes me want to become a mechanic.
become a mechanic my man
Aww man. I’m surprised y’all replied back and so quick. I’ve been thinking about it, a lot of my welding repairs include somewhat of mechanic work. Removing, installing and trouble shooting. I’d like to see some welding videos if y’all ever get a chance to film some.
thank you for theses videos
Haha nice, like you said truly if you don't know what your doing don't. As a guy who slings wrench but is getting more into the yellow iron, the vids are seriously awesome to even just get a gist of a job. Well done again.a
@tekamohd how about a video on checking/adjusting hydraulic pressure.
Wow ,great job, thank you for sharing, great explanation and simple 👍👍👍👍
You are welcome!
Done those a few times Cam. Usually have to split the track and wind up swapping it out...
film all the jobs you can Cam, we def want more it's the 1s u dont think we want that we want, trust the more boring the job the more unfiltered Cam that's what were all here 4
Hey cam good video, I'm coming across track tensioner's chrome pitting out externally and internally on the SANY equipment from the 130 to the 450, don't know if you guys have them in Canada but we have shit loads in Scotland, but when you reseal them there's roughly a 2mm Gap in the tensioner body but most of the equipment has only done 1500 to 2000 Hours, the manufacturer is pondering over what to do next🤣🤣🤣 done one on Saturday then seen your video and I thought I would let you guys know, by the way you are so lucky to have a crane on your truck.
Stay safe.👍👍👍
ive used a piston ring compressor to re-shrink the teflon rings
Had a Good laugh at the POV, laughed way too hard at that.
Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you will do 🫡
I love these videos. I’m a field Meckinac
Back up rings actually prevent the o-ring from extruding. Which does happen in high pressure applications.
Very cool
Would love to see some videos on greater Another great video thanks
im going to school soon in January for heavy duty watching these videos gets me excited for it. also love the vids bro!
Glad you like them! Let us know what type of videos you would like to see that could help you in your studies.
@@TekamoHD maybe something on what to expect as a new comer to the trade
@@kieranprevost5718 Show up five minutes early. Shut your trap. Pay attention. Your goal for the first 12 months is to quietly start anticipating the next step, operation, tool. Define a percentage of your take home for tools and set that money aside. Avoid credit. You do all that in 5 years you will be comfortable. Ten years you can all all your own shots. The second you take on debt you become leveraged to everybody but yourself.
Cam is the best video Mechanic u have, I hope u give him extra bonus cash
I believe he is an owner operator the company name is on his coveralls in other videos
@@josh4331 no! REALLY 🤦♂️
I always enjoy doing track tensioner jobs. Good physical job to pass the day. They are sometimes a bit of a mongrel on CAT 325DFM etc, you would have to spend half the day chipping out mud that had turned to concrete just to reach the 2 bolts. Without a decent impact gun those bolts can be near impossible to get out cos of the stupid frame in the way.
Look at how patient you where with the seal and the heat gun… any seal would be lucky to have you working with there shaft.
I have never thought of using the heatgun. I only boil the seals in oil, but i will test that next time👍
Let us know how it works out for ya. We also boil the seals too but the zoo didn't appreciate it
I'm 100% using your seal jokes, Thanks old boi
Love the seal jokes.
damn i love these videos id buy merch!
not sure bout the home root canal but my brother in law used bondo to fill his cavities
Awesome info!! How the heck did you get it out and install? THANKS
Another good heating up trick is take a metal drain pan with water and use your torch. But a heat Gun makes a lot more sense 😅
Another easy way to get them seals on, is wet a rag, wrap rag over seal, but in microwave or 30 seconds, then go push themon, and let cool!
damn you're waterboarding those poor seals? You must be banned from the zoo too
Love the videos..
No video is a bad video in the field or shop,all problems need legitimate solutions..
No need to reinvent the wheel when we have blueprints on these videos that are proven solutions..
🫡💪👍 new subscribers from enjoy seeing all you mechanics complete diverse tasks..
I'm definitely learning alot.
Welcome to the cooking show 😂
Just did this the other day on a 977L cat track loader. It Blew out the tensioner and snapped the tensioner push rod. After a fair amount of swearing and elbow grease she lived to fight another day. Lesson learned from that job was never stick your finger where you wouldn’t stick your……… member……
I've only built a few in my life but I'm thinking the back-up rings go on each side of the o-ring. I may be wrong, but I've never seen a double backup ring setup.
🔥🔥🔥
yes,, we like this art of jokes
I want to know if it's possible to install the dust seal last or if it always has to be installed first
I used air to get a piston/rod out of a skid loader lift arm cylinder….. once. It was funny but could of definitely hurt someone. I don’t ever do it anymore. Loving the videos would love to come work in your area. It’s beautiful, little turned off by Canadians government though. I am planning to go independent in the next couple of years. Keep the videos coming Cam! What kind of laptop and program do you use ?
Sweet baby gang
@@paranoidandroid34 SBGFL
Have you ever done one on 963C?
$120 from Deere for a common part that I can rethread if it doesn't match doesn't surprise me, that company is well versed in extortion
I've got one that won't take grease. I replaced the fitting but now it all just comes out of the bottom.
Don't wanna stretch a seal eh don't want the keeper to find out
When i was 16 i did a Hydraulik cylinder on a 950 cat i couldnt get it out so i asked my dad he was like use a little air well guess them cylinders can fly far i found out that day🤣🤣🤣
How to get banned from the zoo tutorial XD
i called you and it said your inbox is full and cant except more messeges
More videos
Who is your uniform company?
What is the problem with zoo??
Get any dozers?
What cleaner you use in the sprayers?
brake clean
What is typically the starting pay for a new tech with a two year degree in Heavy Equipment? I tried looking this up but just got average pay and nothing on starting pay. Not looking for exactly what but at least around what to expect.
27 dollars an hour is what I got right out of school.
Here in Michigan non union your look at 18 to 20 for starting. Union wage is 20 to 22. If you do an apprenticeship thru the union you get 20 then after you do the 4 years you jump to $34 hourly
I’ve been turning wrenches for over 10 years on everything from airport equipment to D11 dozers. Low to Mid 20s is where you will start. A degree will help but the thing that really gets the big pay checks is experience. I don’t have a degree at all, but after I built knowledge and experience I’m making over 100k a year with a company service truck that I drive home every night and average amount of over time. Get in start learning and the money will come.
Washington state, US here. Not a lot of apprentice/union programs. I have a diesel degree. I started at $24/hr at a dealer. I did a year and a half in the shop, then moved into a truck. I think the degree really helps in the long run, not really as you start out.
@@chadanderson2732 D12 lol, hope that's a typo
With the Kubota KX80 tensioners it was may be you could get one if you could it was weeks to months out. I rebuilt them, buffed up the rod ya they had some pitting but the tensioners never failed. Why is Cam using that cheap sh*t brake clean I hate that brand, the contractor I work for had a case of that crap the stuff doesn't clean sh*t I haven't flung a can(s) across the shop its been close. Only down to one can left I will start buying the brands that I like to use that actually work.
I know it’s boring, the basics of troubleshooting electrical, hydraulic systems, engine (low power) situations. Starting simple an going more complex for your troubleshooting, most guys dive right into the worst case scenarios,
Deere is more like how much you got .
He said nipple
Cheap!!! China
Can't you read Chrome it with the chrome spray paint
What has to happen is have them on a federal job where it starts leaking oil in the inspector red tags their machine setting in a highway lane and then all of a sudden they start dialing the f****** phone to make you come out and try to help fix their bad decision
11:45 fuckin with the seals
Some sloppy work but send it I guess.
They don't know until it fails they forget all the repairs that you've done and you've always tried to do a good job it's the contractors that f*** everything up because they're looking at their wallet and they're trying to Mickey mouse everything to get it by to the next job you are good a job as best as you can document your paperwork
