Repairing Final Drive Spindle for BIG D11 Bulldozer!

Repairing Final Drive Spindle for BIG D11 Bulldozer! | Machining & Drilling

Місяць тому

Ever wondered what goes into keeping a huge Caterpillar D11 Bulldozer moving mountains? In this video, we're tackling a worn duo cone assembly off a Cat D11 final drive spindle. We’ll show you the step-by-step process of replacing the old ring with a brand new, upgraded one. We'll be heating things up (safely, of course) to remove the old protective ring, then it's over to our big lathe for some precision machining. We’ll make some metal chips and sparks fly as we create the perfect seat for the new and improved duo cone retaining ring. But that's not all! We'll also be putting our big radial arm drill to work, meticulously drilling and tapping the new bolt holes. So, buckle up and join us as we give this D11 final drive spindle the overhaul it deserves!
In this video we are using:
- Shenyang CW6280B Lathe
- Hafco ZX3050X16 Radial Arm Drill

In my younger days I worked on a horizontal borer in an aicraft repair facility. The comment that you made about the component belonging to the customer and any mistakes and consquent financial compensation would be born by you reminded me of the occasion when I'd carried out a modification on a customer's main undercarriage leg of a large aircraft only to find that the slot I'd milled was in the wrong place - aargh!!! Mainly sleepless nights followed but the situation was saved after the stress engineers and draughtsmen re-wrote the modification plan - phew!

Working in the Aerospace industry in the USA for 25 years. The forgings of the parts being made were 200-400 thousand before I even made a chip. Yes, had to be really careful especially taping 3/4 x 16 threads for heli coils. We had very special tooling. Many different size and lead taps just for one hole. All the parts were inspected by in house and government inspectors. Worked on the space shuttle solid rocket motor housings.I did my own rigging and moving of the parts. I found it to be a lot of fun.

And while your videos have encouraged me now, as an older man, to purchase a 10L 1949 South Bend lathe to make chips, when I watch the size of the pieces you work on and look at my tiny 6" chuck, I really appreciate the thought and responsibility it takes to make or repair such large, expensive items. You are a great machinist, and although my parts are tiny in comparison, I learn from your experience. I look forward to your videos every Friday morning. When it's snowing and blowing up here in upstate NY, USA, and I can't fish or golf, your videos inspire me to go make something.

Hi, a few video’s back you were thinking of a way to put serial numbers into your parts. We use a Telesis Pinstamp and it works really well. It operates via compressed air and is handheld. It stamps into casting iron, stainless steel, steel and alu. Love your vids, cheers!

Kurtis & Karen - this is just a quick note to tell you how interesting your videos are, and how satisfying it is to watch them. And it's not just one thing: The voiced introduction helps to get the viewer engaged by understanding why something is being done; the machines and the work they do and Kurtis' mastery of them are totally fascinating; love the short interruption for the birds; love Homeless; appreciate the comments during the video to explain the process. You have excellent videos that rival professionally-produced ones, and I look forward to each and every one. Cheers from Florida, USA.

This is one of those channels where you TELL someone about the content and it's boring. But to watch it, and see both the humor and love - in your wife's voice, in your outtakes, in the befriending of the birds, in your and your viewer's treatment of Homeless, and of course your skill and expertise at machining. Respect.

As always, this reminds me of the small jobs I do in my little home shop here. My stuff is not $28K or 1000 lbs tho...Really got to admire you Kurt. A smart young fellow who is not afraid to do some work and get his hands dirty. We need more like you.

Good to see you using the file left handed on the lathe. It scares me the number of UKposts machinists I see cuddling the chuck with right handed filing. It was one of the first things I was taught on a lathe.

@mikeb1520 Місяць тому

One of the few advantages of being left handed is not having to unlearn filing righty on the lathe.

@rigaudio Місяць тому

What are the reasons for doing it left handed?

@mikeb1520 Місяць тому

@@rigaudio most people position their arms are over the chuck when doing it right handed, left handed you naturally stand away from the chuck in a much safer position.

I watched it religiously as a kid, in the 70s, and it has the same effect as your channel. I get all excited and goose pimply. Love it...
