Could you have installed the big yoke casting to the back half of the tractor first - then, slide the yoke into the front half of the tractor? Getting those shims and seals between the upper and lower pin plates looked like an absolute nightmare! If you could do it the other way, you'd only need to line up the big horizontal pin. Anyway, thanks for another great video!!
Really do miss your videos you need to keep doing them when you can I really appreciate watching them. I always learn something and I've been working on equipment for a year's keep up the good work man.
Hi Alistair, great to have another video. Guess you've been quite busy, stuff needs fixing, say no more. Hope you and family all good. Thanks again for some quality content to watch. Good crane with good hook welders third hand 😊 Take care Mark
Very nice work !! I have missed your videos glad all is well been wondering about what you have been up to . Fantastic little machine looks so handy ....I really like Kubota Equipment. I think you did a bang up job fixing this back up !!! 👍👍
I've never had the "pleasure" to change out a pin in that situation, but while I was watching your wrestle with it, I wondered if it would have helped to use the old pin, and slide it up through from the bottom to hold things in alignment while you pushed the new pin down from the top.
Good to see some more honest to goodness, basic maintenance going on without 'plugging merch' or name dropping of suppliers. If I was doing that job (and I am not !) I would have been tempted to raid the skip and spend 10 mins on a lathe and make a tapered guide / starter pin for the main pivot. Chap 'er in partway from the bottom and as the new pin falls down the hole (under gravity) it pushes the guide out. Looking forward to your next workshop task.
Really enjoyed this vid , just a thought on the main pivot pin , you mentioned about welding it , if you removed the retaining plate , and replaced it with a heavier gauge, larger plate that would pick up on the threaded holes on the pin that would help lock the pin in place and hold the movement, save welding it , just a idea , as you say shame it’s got that movement, but great job .
Nice repair and welcome back! I gotta say that's a LOT of pressure on such a short pivot pin/bushing. That design must be SOP but a longer pin/bushing would likely help.
I have no mechanical suggestions for you because you seem to manage quite well. My only suggestion is to make more videos. You have some really interesting jobs. Just to see some of the machines in your shop is interesting. Good job.
Hey up mate excellent work for a one handed mechanic, was wondering why you didn't cut the old pin to use as a dummy for the shim's also noted a comment suggesting to assemble it first before offering it to the rear half which seems a reasonable idea, apart from you sticking bit off your body into hole's that you shouldn't was a top video really enjoyed it thanks for sharing
Make your own new pin (longer) than the original weld new boss ring on the top and bottom of the clevis this will take out the excess slap on the fixed eyes . If you've enough room a lead can be machined on the pin to aid in reassembly. I've done it loads of times on dumpers and the JCB telehanders it does very well
New rings top and bottom would have been a good fix and that new pin just looked like a piece of induction hardened cylinder rod, wouldn't be too hard to knock one up ?
That looks like an easy one to do I did a 420 kubota just built a support under to separate both half’s weld a horizontal piece of tubing across to support the front get your pin out and slide it across the tubing easy money put the sleeves in the freezer first before you do anything else they need a good couple of days in the freezer
For those who want to see the Kubota in action, here's a link to one of Alister's videos on wood splitting from a few years ago th-cam.com/video/KJoXDKS-zoY/w-d-xo.html Good to see him extending the old girls life :)
@ 3:18 the metal plate says litterally "compliant to Ministry of Labor rules/laws of july 15th 1980" and may mean that it was previously owned by a trade school in France, where students were (or are still) trained to be heavy equipment mechanics like at "Lycée Professionnel René Cassin" at Mâcon (near Lyon (there's about ~60 km apart between both))
I love the exitement at 11:52, butt kisses head. I can see the handiness of it. A little do it all, a bit of everything but not a bunch of nothing. This is a neat toy for the big countryboy. Yes, good to have You back. And- with a little bang, too. Kind Regards
We missed you lad !
Shure missed your videos!! Going to enjoy this one. Cheers mate!
Never seen a machine like this one. Looks super handy. She’s fixed now!
Great to see you back Alistair, missed you videos, dont make so long before the next one, take care, Chas, uk.

Yeah , was going to say the same thing .
I went looking for this comment before I suggested the same thing.
Great machine! It will run forever. Glad to see your back. It made my day.
Great little machine and a good repair that should keep it working for a fair while longer 🛠️👍🏼
Nice little machine. I can see how it fills all sorts of jobs.
Great video 👍
Older Kubota stuff is really nice, I have an L4200 tractor and G18 mower, both great workers.
love the variety on this channel. Always look forward to another upload. 👍

Great to see a video from you again and a very interesting one too!
Thank you for posting this!
Nice fix , it’s got lots of life in it now.
never seen one but that looks like a really handy bit of kit
Having a lathe and being able to turn tapered alignment pins can make jobs like this Soooo much easier. Great to see you back Alistair.
Hope you are keeping well buddy, proper job as always, certainly tell you like that 👍
Great to see a new video!
Great video!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Just what i was shouting @ the screen for Alistair to do.
I have done similar on other machines,

Love to have that little machine. Great job on the refurb of that joint.
What a sweet little tractor. it looks so useful
Brilliant video great stuff

Good to see you back with a cracking video 👍

Good going!, I hope you remembered to fill the front diff up though!
Missed you videos,, had one of them back in 1998 great little machine go just about anywhere
Massive improvement & great machine
thanks I loved it! appreciate your patience forfilming and editing. Bernard in France. I have a 72 Ford 4000 Tractor, so I know the drill.
Brilliant , your back.

Quality .... Nice Bit A Kit! ...Good To See An Other Quality Video From You Chap ...
peace
Wouldn't worry about the pin holes. Nice job. Have done this on larger machines. Its well worth doing before it gets too bad. I have seen them snap😅
Yep, I want one. Cheers
It definitely looks Much tighter!

That machine bees a proper wee honey Alastair.

Great video. It's a big improvement. Now you've fixed it can you send it over to me in Cornwall as it looks super-handy?
I wish I could find one of those in the states!!!
Wasn't sure the crane would lift it😂😂😂

Your back 👍🇬🇧

That thumbnail really reminded me of Clarke and Dawe "The front fell off" comedy skit. Rip.
Lol that's what I intended 😂
Pin is a bit loose however not horrible, but that has to be exponentially better than the floppy mess you started with.
Nice work, treat yourself to a battery grease gun and some impact sockets! Haha
Maybe they should re introduce them I know JCB have the CX1 machine but this looks better
Great job, what a babe👍
cardbord ?
Looks like a job that would be on Curtis's Cutting Engineering channel!
Except that would be a 100 ton mining truck, but agree it would be a similar job. Snowball engineering is doing very similar jobs to this though.
@@johnbewick6357Snowball Engineering did a big job on a Matbro not long ago, same sort of story.
Oy................ where ya been, mate?
Good video but you need a camera tripod sponsor😁
How many hours?
Deserves some TLC.
Weld the top of the pin. Get 90%
Great job Mr Camarata😂 that video was great, nice to see a video again👍great job, keep it up
Well what happened?
Too bad you didnt have a tapered allignment shaft to prealign all those parts as the pin followed.
👍👍
Messics in the in Pennsylvania for the pin im not sure of the spelling but i know of a kabota dealer here east of me ?!.
It's not meant to do that... the front falling off I mean
