- How to measure undercarriage on an excavator
Dozers are the same but they do have different wear points.
We do sell undercarriage for just about anything
Thanks for watching

Even though I'm not in the Excavating field or in the market for a piece of equipment I do appreciate the honesty that you portray when you tell them that 50% doesn't actually mean 50% remaining life in the equipment👍👍
The cup is half full 🤔 and half empty at the same time.
The Schródinger's Cat ....tracks ..... on fundamentals in quantum theory equations .
🤣😂🤣 I know it was a Komatsu but the same reasoning and equations apply.
I'm not in the heavy plant machinery like you and Kevin but I enjoy watching people solving mechanical problems, fixing stuff etc. which is why I like watching your channel. This episode blew my mind because it never occurred to me that anyone would get into this much detail with machines of this size. Stupid me I guess, so bring on more videos like this guys.
Thanks
Essential video Clinton!! You and Kevin are one heck of a team, and most important, straight shooters who do the job right or not at all. Much appreciated men!!
Exactly why I watch them. Learned so much and I’m not involved in the business of dirt.
Thanks
Very informative video. You've saved some person that watches your videos from buying an excavator that has 30-40% left. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
excellent advice, not just telling us the numbers but putting that information into a real world perspective
Excellent tutorial guys ... always up for learning new stuff. Love watching you evaluate stuff at Auctions ... like being able to lift the front tracks off the ground at idle power setting ... thanks !!!
Likely doing a undercarriage on a 290 Xaxis Hitachi in the very near future. Doing an Oil Change on it today and found a big hole punched in the front idler😖
The track bushings are closer to square than round and the drive sprockets are sharp as a whip! She gone!
Anyway thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Great explanation of undercarriage wear % and if around 50% good to know your not going to get the same hours as the first 50% wear. That was excellent now I know not to double the hours when buying used tracked vehicles. Thanks you just saved me some money.
Very informative! 🙂👍 That excavator is still in nice shape. Always helps when the previous owner actually cares about maintenance and greasing the equipment. Take care 🔧🔩
It was
Thanks for watching
Honestly never knew where those numbers in ads for equipment came from. I learned something new today. Thanks.
Clint, I admire the respect you show for Kevin, I am sure he appreciates it. A good Boss is what you are.
about the 12 minute mark talking about the wear life and the rollers and components being worn past the hardened areas is absolute fact, most wear edges and components of that nature are only surfaced hardened as they cannot be through hardened because this would make the part too brittle to be reliable under the harsh conditions of an undercarriage.
I just purchased a little bitty Komatsu D 21P dozer for some extremely light finish work. I purchased it from an individual and he kept saying there was about 80% left to the undercarriage. I drove the two hours to look at it because he was an older man and did not know how to send photos of it.
Well when I got there I told him yeah it’s probably just looking at it 50% and he said well that’s probably another 1500 or 2000 hours I said no more like when it gets on the trailer and gets home it’s getting a new undercarriage because like you said in the video once it reaches that point it’s wearing extremely fast probably at about three times the rate.
I put a new undercarriage under myself including sprockets the whole thing. I don’t know why I waited so long to purchase one of those little dozers, sweet running little machine. I mean you could probably never use it for daily use because it would just make you mad and wish you had a dozer ha ha. I run 650k’s i have 2 of them.
Clint Im an attorney, I practice Constitutional law for the state of Illinois but Im also an A&P IA which is an airplane mechanic. I just started building a hanger (brothers & myself) because the place I was rent got too small. I just learned how to operate a dozer & excavator clearing trees for the flat work for the hanger floor. I find that operating this type of equipment is very enjoyable and since watching @dirtperfect first very educational as well. Between you & Mike from Dirt Perfect I have learned a lot about this type of equipment. At 53 Im always learning even if I didnt want to. Thanks for this and all your videos I find them very interesting
You always have to learn something new
Realy love this video Clint and Kev ,
After 72 years, my undercarriage, is a little worn, and stretched too! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Now onto to the Tucker welding Vid! ☺
Lol
As someone in an entirely different profession I find your work ethics to be outstanding.
To many individuals wouldn't give a crap about the equipment they are selling.
To many in all professions are all about maximizing profit over honesty to customers.
Of course this would have to be done - just like the tyres/tires on a car have to be checked. This is a whole new worl to me and enjoy the learning experience.
Kevin knows how to button up a shirt. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
So 50% means 10% left. Great video, I always wondered how that measurement goes.
Yep
Always wondered how to determine that. Excellent information guys. Thank you and thanks for sharing.
You bet!
great video guy's, you've just educated those who had no idea what goes on with an under carriage.
Great to see how the pros do it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Thanks for the explanation of how to measure undercarriage.
Makes my knees hurt to watch Kevin kneeling in the gravel with shorts on!
That was very interesting and informative Clint and Kevin from a guy not in the excavating or equipment basis. Very interesting to see what goes into determining how much of an undercarriage is left on a machine and if it gets to that 40-50% range it won't last as long as one thinks.
Our 210c case has some links kinked up and won't straighten out. Pretty sure it needs new rails for sure. Thanks for the helpful info. Will be doing some measuring to check for further wear.
I really like the way you go through stuff and explain whats going on
Great job and good explanation of wear and how the last 50% wears twice as fast
Very informative, especially for those of us who don't deal with this type of equipment. Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial on assessing undercarriage condition. I am looking for a small excavator and this will be helpful in figuring if its worn out or not.
That is interesting and that part about 40-50% wearing out quicker makes a fair bit of sense.
Never seen that done on an excavator. Very educational 👍
Nice explanation. When measuring from center to center, I often measure from left edge to left edge, or right edge to right edge of a circle. A tape measure is much more accurate when you can put a line on a edge, instead of eyeballing the midpoint of a circle. Just a tip from a finemechanical engineer.
Yep we do that always also
Didn’t want to confuse anyone
@@C_CEQUIPMENT everyone else reading can use it as well. You are doing a good job.
That was educational, I've run this stuff but never did know how they come up with percentages. Thanks. Keep smilin
Cool video even if i will never need to purchase the parts its cool to see how it suppose to be done for measuring. I know i have seen some farm equipment that just from watching you guys and a few other excavator channels can see that the front sprocket is pushed way out. Have even tried to send a few farmers your way who were looking to purchase big dozers.
Really interesting demo. And props to Kevin for his awesome shadow puppets, even if Clint didn't see them.
Oh I did
Was trying to be serious for once lol
Thanks for the video. Great information about the wear of undercarriage. I think Vana White has nothing to worry about. Lol. Thank you for all you do.
Great video Clint, much appreciate expert explanations of wear items. Re_did a building 30+ years ago that was a dealer for Italian replacement parts, folks went out of business and alllll the leftover track pads rollers and whatnots got put right in the dumpsters. Shame now that I know what that stuff was.
2:13 A kevi-gator spotted on side rail 🎃 Thanks for splainin’ 👍
It's very interesting to see how measurements are done on an excavator compared to military tracks. We would do an EST on a tank and change any parts.
Interesting, never knew how that was figured. Thanks Clint, learn a lot when every video .
Looking forward to the dozer video
Nice shadow puppets, Kevin
This is a AWESOME information video for us tracked vehicle geeks. 😁
Hey Clint!! Great video and info. Was always wondering how they came up with the percentages on undercarriage wear. Looking forward for the dozer video. Thanks. Tell Kevin he made my knees hurt kneeling on that gravel.
Good to know !! Thanks. I always wondered how people come up with these figures.
Could you do a video on what you think is the best pusher dozer? like I don’t know if I high track would push more than the standard way, nothing bigger than a D6 nothing smaller than a D4. just would like to get a video on what your thoughts are. I demoed a d5k2 lgp but it seems like those tracks spun way too much for what it was pushing.
Very informative. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting informative stuff we can take this to even mean even in vehicle's we buy used first owner got the best 50 thousand miles our next 50 thousand it will wear and break so much faster, Oh Kevin sure has tough knees knelling in the gravel in shorts wow.
I’m sorry but if Kevin is going to be your model he needs to shave his legs!
Are you volunteering to shave them? 😆 🤣
lol
@@petenolte4192 Well are used to butcher sheep that is shear sheep so I’m pretty sure I can get some blood Out of that dude along with his hairs!
Could’ve at least combed his hair. He’s not ready for prime time.
Great video! Very informative. Learned something new today!!

I R edgumekatided now that I tooken yurn korse on
tha undur karridge, thankee
Kindlee.😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wasn't trying to be a smart
@zz but having a little fun
Totally now understand how the situation gets translated into numbers and percentages
Now thanks to you guys I get it! Much respect guys!!👍😎

Nice video thanks for the education in the big equipment field. Not in this field but I sure help someone that needs this information for future use.
Clinton another essential video thank you for taking the time. 👏👏👏👍
Thanks for watching
Great you share your experience with the internet.
Vary helpful videos my family owns a hardware store n they rent out mini kabota excavators n track skid steers b nice to b able to look at em n no a lil more what I’m looking at n not bugging good ole dad lol
Great information 👍
thanks Clint alway wanted to know how to measure the wear on the tracks
Always learn something new every time I stop by. Thanks👍😁
I thought you were still doing Halloween but then I realized it was just Kevin 🙄 🤣😂🤣
Happy 'Afterween'
🦃 thanks for the video and your time (yes that includes Kevin too)
🤟😁🤟
Thanks
@@C_CEQUIPMENT most welcome 👍
Nice content. No more semi educated guessing.
THANKS guys
Great educational video.
Like the video and the information but I hate the metric system
thanks for a well prepared tutorial, i will go to bed smarter tonight, Kevin was so serious today is he sick 🤣👍👍👌
Lol
Thanks
👍👍👍 THANKS FOR THE INFO VERY EDUCATIONAL
Thanks for sharing some great tips guys.
At 2.17 kevin making shadow puppets.
Yes he was
great information 😊
Great job! Thanks for the information!
Good stuff guys.
If I understand a 60 percent is really about 40 percent due to faster wear rate. I just guessed at the number. I don't know if I am close and if you know how to estimate it based on experience.
you are correct
read your owners manual on excavators and it will tell you that you must operate/drive on flat surfaces! so in other words make sure you have a grader/dozer grooming the trail ahead of you 😳or you can spend half a lifetime grooming /flattening the path in front of you ☹. considering where excavators end up travelling to do work the equipment manufacturing companies/engineering branch need to come up with alternate designs of undercarriage suitable for uneven terrain travel of which there is more of than the owners will have anticipated and at this time the current selection of undercarriage available is not good enough and narrow pad option helps but there needs to be more done as the cost is high to repair /replace the components.😵💫
Great job y’all
Thanks
Interesting, thank you for sharing this process.
Thanks for watching
Very informative thank you for sharing
Great video and information 👍🤙🇦🇺
Coffees on!! ya!!here we go!!Cheers!;-)!! Big Thumbs!!;-)!
Thanks for the visit
Sooo,---question, ----what percentage of wear has Kevin got left in him? He looks like his under carriage might have some wear left in it, of course my eyes aren’t as good as they use to be either, let me know, might be interested in leasing him.😁😜. Ok done with the goofy stuff, found that very interesting, nice to know what to look for and how to measure for wear, also found the statement about the under carriage wearing significantly faster after about the 50% wear mark. Thanks for the video sir, great stuff.
Lol
Thanks for watching
