I must commend you on explaining all your processes. I am retired as a welder from the Union Pacific R.R. bridge construction department. For 40 years my brother and i were like the swat team when they had a bridge emergency. Nice to see a fellow welder that takes pride in the work you do. Excellent Job.

Eddie, with how big the U.P. has gotten, they must have had you and your brother zipping all over the system! Did you ever manage to get any time at home or have a quiet week? Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 We have a lot of low railway bridges in Melbourne and over the years they have been protected by heavy duty protection beams. Even with warning signs trucks still hit the beams. Montague Street in South Melbourne is notorious for being struck in spite of all the warning signs and dangle fingers.

Dropping the 3/4” upgrades on a mighty D10. Good discussion of the mode of failure and the prescribed fixes. I’m learning a lot!

Some issue could be the fact it's a D9 blade on a D10. Very easy to tell with the cushion blades, twin cushions are D9, tripple cushions D10 and 4 cushions D11.

It has been a long time since I work on a cushen blade. I remember back in the day, replacing big giant rubber blocks mounted between the bump stops. That kept the blade from bottoming out on the spring rods. The style of the blade looks the same, but maybe things have changed. Great job on the repair, looks like they'll rip the floors out of the scapers before they tear up that repair!!!

@cortcam6649 місяців тому
You are right about the force is towards the D10, compressing the springs and only goes the other way if pulling on something. But during normal use when the pusher D10 backs off and reconnects or changes speed or they hit uneven ground... the springs allow for that change in pressure. That change in pressure may still cause oil canning of your brackets/plate due to the compression spring's relaxing force. Not sure. Doesn't matter. Going back to my beer anyway. Good job as always.

When i use to install root rakes, we welded a 1/2" plate onto what we believed was 1/4" plate behind the dozer blade. Then we welded the 1" thick brackets onto the 1/2" plate. Make sure to burn hot enough to fuse good.

I would suggest removing the eyes from the top edges of the blade and providing something attached to the arms or low on the blade for them to attach to for pulling. You are correct that using this style of blade to pull with will cause it to fail.

Them tilt shock brackets are so close together the torque on them must be off the scale when the blades working. It's no great wonder they failed - any weakness there at all would get torn out fast.
