Guys I am really not trying to sound like an asshole but you need to leave the machine work to professionals, when it comes to mechanical you guys are the best no doubt about it, put all that machine work looked horrible I personally wouldn't have put it on video for everybody to see
Wow
Thanks for the nasty comment
The machine work in this video was very professional. You however, could use a bit of advice.
It is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth (keyboard) and remove all doubt.
RUclips has an endless variety of videos, if you don’t like this one, just go away.
Or are you just here in a pathetic attempt to be noticed?
"Guys I am really not trying to sound like an asshole" MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!
Not an asshole, just a concerned armchair machinist. Keep up the terrific work, Clint. Much respect from Texas
If your so good at machining why don't volunteer your services to c&c equipment
I have watched and done alot of work. If it fits the purpose and done well it does not have to look pretty. It needs to serve its purpose. While many may sit and criticize the work , they themselves have accomplished nothing. If you know so much i guess we all should be millionaires. Clint does an excellent job on repairs and works meticulously on getting things fixed. He deserves my respect. He works within his means to achieve alot but also gives the customers peace of mind. If you want a perfect machine then Volvo and deere are happy to serve you.
Retired utility electrical engineer here. You said running two welders at same time affected weld quality, while one at a time does fine. They are on the same 60 amp circuit off a 600 amp service. It’s likely both welders running is reducing the voltage at the 220 outlets they are plugged in to. The short circuit current of both welders lines up at times resulting in a large voltage drop across the 60 amp circuit wire, especially if it’s a long wire run from the main service panel. A solution may be to run another separate 60 amp circuit from the main panel and split the welders. Another may be to increase the wire size for the existing circuit. I say all this assuming ( you know what that means ) the utility 600 amp service provides rock solid voltage. You might want to ask the utility to confirm your service voltage with a good amount of load running. Also they can confirm the power quality in the building. Wouldn’t be the first time that a rural customer didn’t have rock solid voltage. There are many possible causes. This is simply a place to start. Really like your channel. Great for those of us that love all things mechanical. Keep up the good work.
Excellent advice, I wonder if part of it is dirty sine wave when both elders are running. Some of these new switch mode power supplies do nasty things to the 60Hz sine wave.
Where I worked we manufactured, assembled and tested Greenlee power pumps. The pumps had to put out so many gallons of oil in a given time. Units were failing inspection on 2nd shift. I noticed that it seemed the power supply was dropping late in the afternoon. Maintenance called the utility and they came out and there was an issue with the transformer on the pole outside the building. New transformer fixed us up.
@@ronneidertAgree. The harmonics generated by these switch-mode power supplies are significant. A power quality check by the utility with the welders and other loads running would reveal any harmonic distortion in the AC waveform. Variable speed drives, LED lighting, modern welders, battery chargers, etc. all contribute to harmonics and power quality challenges.
@@user-tv3hg8mq2j Harmonic distortion was my first thought too.
My daughter is an electoral engineer. She is currently supervising the building of a new power station plant. If I remember, I will ask her opnion of this issue that you have.
Clint, just watched Kirtis at Cutting Edge Engineering Australia and he just got done doing on a 70-tonne excavator what you were doing on the 350G with his new WS2 plus line boring system, the video before this was him unboxing the unit with all the accessories that he had ordered with it, thought maybe you would like to see it, Kurtis was pleased with his new purchase.
Love him and his wife and homeless.
Yes he does like the new WS 2, both of them are good machines for sure!
He does some amazing work
The CEE WAS A good with his Sir Meccanica. I noticed it is Italian made.
I just did the same thing. Went from CEE and line boring to C&C
Kurtus at Cutting Edge Engineering Aust is re; bushing a stick and bucket from a 70 Hitachi excavator at this moment, he is such a PRO at doing these line boring jobs. A one man operation doing such an expert job and he makes it look so easy.
How about a history lesson about how you built yourself up to where you are now?
That would be great.
go watch "a few points from perfect" when he was on the podcast he tells all this!!
Another successful operation at the C&C animal surgeons.
"We specialize in kitties and deer(e)"
Heavy dose of Sausage Fingers
As always I have enjoyed your latest video. Have also just seen Cutting Edge Engineering where Curtis is doing a similar job albeit on a bit bigger machine. Fascinating to see proper engineering in the modern throw away society. Thanks for sharing.
That bucket is about 3 times bigger. But much the same job. He does have to face the thrust surfaces though.
I have been around machinery and also precision machine work my whole working career. What you did was very acceptable! You are building up an area for a bushing to fit in not a part for a jet engine. That repair you men did will outlast the machine. GREAT WORK!!
NO, Clint, those switch-mode power supplies will run off 50 or 60 Hz, they don't care. The voltage is rectified to DC then charges big capacitors for the rest of the power supply to use. The motors are servo motors that run on DC voltage and would not be affected by a 50Hz input frequency. It's gotta be the idle current setting of the motors on the circuit board, there may be adjustments or it is designed in. Great video BTW.
I was going to say the same thing.
Exactly. Only want to add that they are stepper motors.
They are cheap to replace if they burn ! You can check the amp setting on the dip switches on the stepper drive and compare it with the motor. Sometimes they have a separate dip switch for half the current selection.
Steppers generally run hot too.
Gets me, those who have no idea how much parts cost, suggest just replacing parts instead of repairs at a fraction of the cost. Great video!
That square top motor is a stepper motor. The bottom definitely looks like an AC brushless Servo motor. HZ won't matter for the reasons you stated. Steppers run hot but shouldn't be too hot to touch. There are dip switches on that stepper motor controller in the electrical box. Lower the amps on the next step down according to the chart printed on it. You'll notice a difference.
That was the optional agitator bucket for making concrete. Load your gravel, sand and cement , shake and pour. Good job guys.
Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering Australia just did a job where the line boring attachments did not quite fit (by a lot) so he welded flat bar to hold the attachments distributing the hold angles.
I haven't seen that kind of speed since the Benny Hill show back in the 80's. The way Kevin and Mason took the pins out of that machine! LOL!
Que the music from the show, that would fit Kevin....
At 20 minutes, you had 2K views. At 1 hour, it shows 5180 views. Peeps are jumping on your videos. I enjoy the learning.
Clint, you all did an awesome job getting all that slop take care of, and for all the work you did, handles a lot better now with no slop with the bucket. Great video!
RUclips brings out the good and the worst in people and I’m glad that your viewership has a lot more good than bad with a huge amount of knowledge and wisdom that they pass on, and us oldies love being right 🏴👍🏻
Night and day difference on that bucket. I hope Mason stays with the business, he has a lot of potential I think.
Got to love Randy, a man of few words, hard working man.
Yeah we want to see that stick and boom hole repaired too, we like watching your sons practice their art too.
Line boring is a cost effective solution to loose bushings. On the pins, we used EL50 Chrome plate ( it has a chrome plating flashed on and ground to about a.0015 thickness per side, you can purchase it bar stock or cut to length, thing is, it can wear the bushings faster than the pin, we opted to soften the pin ( 1050 CRR 4140 HT-- HT IS HEAT TREATED and then annealed at factory) and let it take the wear and save the bushings as much as possible, much faster and cost effective to change pins) if you have to machine any material with an EL designation you need to anneal the areas you machine, heat the areas to be machined red hot and let naturally cool to room temp. Any rate that’s what we had success with, just some thoughts and experiences I have gained over 30 years of job shop machining and fabricating. Nice job gentlemen, enjoyed watching, brings back a lot of memories to me.
Good advice
Grease is more cost effective lol
I want to see more excavator videos. Kevin leave Tucker be. One day he might be your boss. Haha. A video of Kevin painting might be interesting for some. Excellent work guys
Watching Kevin doing the bodywork and tapeing up, sanding, prime, and painting and then unmasking and having a reveal party. Have that a full video or maybe 2 or 3 video series I would like that. Thanks for sharing enjoyed the video very much Thanks
Clint, you all did a great job welding and line boring this John Deere Excavator. The machine looks and sounds great. After Kevin puts his magic on it the machine will be like new. Great video and very entertaining. God Bless To You All.
Clint ……you guys are really “squirrel” minded, but WOW can you fix broken stuff up! Thanks for helping Matt out in Diesel Creek out!
Love the “fast-action” fixes! Very cool use of YT channel content in the editing room. I think Kevin needs a nap. But maybe that was the reading.
I like your C&C work crew and how you accomplish tasks by working “smarter not harder”. Tucker is just going through a series of BAD LUCK.
Just watched Cutting Edge Enginering do the same thing on a stick today. He welded 3/4 flat bar across the end in 2 places to set the boring bar adjusters up on.
3 places, there was one at bottom as well 😊👍👍🍻
Curtis is a master of line boring. I didn't like the clickety-clack of the facing head's dog drive
I've been to Australia at least a dozen times...I even did a bunch of skydiving down under. For me to skydive there...They forced me to bring my own gear...so I did. At the time I was flying the MD-11 Jumbo Jet in the cargo configuration. That worked out great because I was flying between Hawaii and Australia...so I got to skydive in both Hawaii and Australia...what a tuff life. Retired in Florida!
We need more El Camino and we need Kevin to get that mullet going so he can cruise like a BIG dog.
MORE CHEVY CONTENT 🥰
He'll be dailing the monster truck until Clinton has enough dailies banked to cover Kevin's wages, since He'll be in recovery.
Sumthin about learning to consume, Humble Pie!
Hopefully, he suffers no broken bones, dailing the monster truck, because it is long way up to get in the cab, and as vertically challenged as he is.
He might miss step once or twice, but the third time may be once too often.
Don't eat the yellow snow Kevin !! 🤣
The vast amount of equipment required in your industry to repair 'broken' machines is amazing. The knowledge required to use same is a credit to you and the team. Good to see Tucker, Hunter and Mason on the job learning as well. This was a great video.
Ah, those perfectionists over at C&C Equipment... That bucket just had some barely noticeable slop in it, but almost perfect isn't good enough for them. 🙂
If that slop is in specs for John Deere give me a Komatsu or Cat anytime.
@@partone709Sarcasm is hard to catch. 😂
@@mfreund15448 I was figuring as much but just in case you were serious
No, no you got it all wrong that is the extremely rare wobble bucket feature. Seriously that is an expensive option (To fix) 😂🤣😅😁
Haven't even watched this yet, and I already know I need to say this: "Leave Mason Alone!"
Hello Mr. Mills, fun badgering in the shop, is an integral part of Mason's real life education. The Professionals in the C&C shop are already referring to the student as "Mr. Mason. He's getting a very good education and coming along great.
You do the best you can and your cost effectiveness is a good and always to me you’re thinking of costumer’s overall efficiency of the life the machine and the quality of the work you do spreading so that you can can make a profit and still give customers better equipment that has been neglected by companies and people who are operating it Mr Clint and your men Kevin,Randy,Tucker,Hunter,Jay,to Me you guys are real people doing a hard work and enjoying the outcome of the days work.(most of the time)👍😎🇺🇸 NY
If you squint it’s mint. Like a hotdog down a hallway. 😂
I like any video you make on anything! Watch and learn baby! 👍🏻
4/11/24..i am not a welder or a machinist but I, age 78, much enjoy watching & learning from the team at C&C. They have a very well equipped shop that does great heavy duty equipment repairs on dozers, trailors & now excavators. Good job Clint! Keep fixin' & filming...your repairs put customer machines back to reliable working status. A+👍✅️💪😊
Hey Mr. C what do you dislike worse. Replacing bushings on an oversized backhoe or Kevin’s singing? Lol
Definitely not my singing! He asks me to sing everyday! 🤣-Kevin
Poor Kevin lol the body lines r mint n the articulating bucket lol yall do amazing work fixing that stuff up
Good video-I enjoy watching this type of work and I am glad you left your mistakes in. That's real life and some people edit out all the bad stuff just to make themselves look "perfect". 😉
What no Kevin ice cream! Bummer!😂😂😂😂😂
You videos are always great to watch Mason seems so quiet but a hard worker 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Plasma cutter is like Dragons Breath!
Depending on how long your service wires are from utility transformer to your building you may be having a little voltage drop when you really put a load on it. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Those welders might have power factors that are nowhere close to 1. This may cause it to need more power. Also noise from one on the supply side might cause interference on the other. A big line conditioner would fix that.
This. Also, peak current on the welders will be much higher - likely hundreds of amps. It's also possible you have a high resistance somewhere - a breaker going bad, a bad joint, etc. If this is the case, a thermal imaging camera can help identify the offending item.
You did a fine job! Always enjoy watching you and your team...do the near impossible! Best wishes.
Fantastic job C&C Crew! Kevin, you duh man! Take care and I’ll see y’all down the road…
Good to see the boss getting stuck in to the job😊
What ever field Mason chooses to apply himself in. He is going to excel. Just watching him you can see he takes a lot after his dad. Nice video.
Clint - Can Kevin read? lol
No
@@C_CEQUIPMENTIt is because his short little greasy sausage finger can’t turn the page!
Good work men…your repairs are always great to watch…
keep-up the good work.
You guys, I just started watching your videos about a week ago. Wow...I'm so impressed. First I'll say, you've got a heck of a crew. Everybody gets along, very professional, respectful workplace...a place where your Team enjoys to be and has fun. It all starts at the top...and you're really leading by example. Not to say, excellent capability and very broad capability. Keep going....so impressive. I'll watch'm all....
Curtiss from CEE was doing a similar job on his April 5 video. worth the lot see.
Lots of tips C&C should pick up from CEE. Let gravity do the work for you when inserting bushings, for instance
You guys are a dying breed. Actually refurbishing bearings and bushings on heavy equipment is getting more rare. Lots of worn out stuff getting cut up for scrap. Glad to see your workmanship.
You guys just get better!! Here we go! lol ..! Ya!! Cheers!;-)!!!!
Died laughing when Kevin started in on the Jurassic Park song.
Lol, The jurassic intro song 😂😂
I use to fly cargo jumbo jets internationally. One month I was flying between Hawaii and Australia, with an interim stop in American Somoa...a USA possession. I'm a skydiver. I found out that I could skydive in Australia only if I had my skydiving gear. So the next month I brought skydiving gear and I would skydive in both Hawaii and Australia on my days off. Later I would skydive in Europe as well. I'm 70 years old now and I no longer skydive because of my age. I had a great life, Blue Sky's.
Making excavators great again!!!!!😊
Good work guys. You all make it a pleasure to watch. All the best.
I love watching you guys do what you do. If I could add a tip: when you’re driving a new bushing in that you’ve had in the nitrogen, have you thought about putting a piece of timber (2”-4”) against it and then you can hit it with a big hammer without worrying about damaging it. I know time is of the essence. Just something I’ve done in the past.
That was impressive. Most shops twice your size subcontract the boring and welding . And I totally agree with everything you said about the cost of new pins .Great show guys and keep them coming .
Great content Clint - Yes you have servo motors on the borer which are supplied and controlled by the box - which nowadays is probably an invertor type - changes your line voltage to a three phase AC output current and frequency to control the servo motor speed very accurately
Your welders will cause interference to the line supply especially with single phase, so if you have both welders operating and perhaps the small speed drives you may wish to try connecting one to another box which may help
You guys do excellant work, glad to see sombody doing it right!!😅
Meccanica WS2 plus is the good boring machine. It’s the one cutting edge engineering uses.
Don't eat the snow Kevin
Thats only if it's yellow.
It's obvious there must be a major grease shortage in some parts of the US--What a shame to let that happen !!!
Your electrical panel needs to have the breaker load balance ! you had a voltage drop when using 2 welders ! Get electrican to move breakers around even load of bust bars voltage and amp load ! 😊But great work !
Heck yeah! More excavator videos. 👍
I really enjoy your channel! To me, you have the best business, I have always loved working on heavy equipment! Nice work guys!
Starving for juice! Imagine our shop using 20 machines at the same time! Migs, tigs, sub arc, stick machines and arc gouging at the same time! I definitely wouldn’t want to pay the bill for that! lol 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for sharing the video, just brings back a lot of memories for over 37 years! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to yall and your families! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
Awesome project! Thanks for the ride along!
Very good job there. I'm a welder and in my youth I worked at a cat repair shop, did similar work that you guys did. Mostly diggerbuckets and frontblades for scrapers. Fun to se your workshop, keep up the good work and the videos comming 👍
Good morning from Oz. Been waiting for this one. Dropped 41 sec ago lol
Sir Meccanica 2 plus line bore. Cutting Edge Engineering just got one for his shop. It does a lot of things from facing to boring and welding. The price I couldn't find. Maybe ashamed to show on website. It's a nice machine to watch work.
I think it's in the 12 to 14 thousand range. AUS of course. That's a guess.
@@kenore4003 Somebody wrote $30 k AUS or was it 50k? With all the accessories
Heck yes. Love to see you do this work. Lotsa fun.
Yes please, love your engineering and working together
Thanks, always enjoy watching you repair machines.
I wish I wasn't 70 years old. I'd love to work on all those marvelous beasts. I learn the most clever ways of tackling all those repairs.
We all look forward for your videos!
Good job guys!
You guys did fantastic. Loss pins and joints is not always fixable by bushing renewal. I worked on marine industry and did this type repairs on field and in shop with full time machinest. Regardless it's hard. We used Climax equipment for most of the smaller in place boring but I have also run bars as large as 8" -24'. Good job only suggest getting you liquid N2 in full size cryo bottles, and the use of cutting oil while boring.❤
Great video! Excellent content with a little humor - a great combination! Take care...
Nice to see an excavator being worked on. Always something different thanks for posting
at the start when you where showing the wobble in pins, the thought of the old saying, "Its not how deep you fish, its how you wiggle your worm that counts" had to laugh at it with you. tough job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, it is good to see things working the way they should.
Great worksmanship, dedication to service and quality. Nice job!!!
Very nice looking 350! Nice works putting it back together!
Hello to all the guys in the shop, Clinton your guys all rock. I will watch any content you put out so call me a fan.....lol. Keep up the good work Sir.
Good stuff guys!
Good job, I enjoy watching!
Another great job. Keep up the repair/rebuild videos.
Another great one.
Loved the sound of the turbo spooling at 53:30.
Love th cutting and welding
Great job!
Would really enjoy more excavator videos. I enjoy all of your videos.
Good crew working together, always makes for a great job 👍
Good job guys well done ❤
Love watching all your work dozers/excavators and all the other s you work on
Very good job
Good job guys
I wish I had it to do all over again: I’d get into this kind of work. But I’m 70 and I’m pretty much done. Great work and it much be satisfying to look at a job well done, to say nothing about making a little cash at the same time. Best Regards
Excellent job, guys
Great job guys
