Hey Shawn and the media team, I commented here a while back saying your videos inspired me to go back to school to be a heavy duty mechanic.. I just accepted a job offer for a summer job at a large mining company here in my province. Thanks for changing my life.. to shawn, keith, cam, william and everyone else involved; you are the best thank you
WOW, huge congratulations from all of us! That's awesome we're proud of you. Shoot us an email at media@tekamohd.com. We'd be honoured if one of your first tool box stickers was a Tekamo one. Would also love to stay in touch and see how you're doing out there. Stay safe always. Congrats again.
Iam a new heavy equipment mechanic here in Canada, starting my first job this month ..and you guys helped me so much ..much thanks to cam ,Shawn ,Keith and to the whole team !!
I just replaced the same 18 inch long pin on my Case 580 backhoe. Also has the same style and size thumb. It was a nightmare 2 day job getting everything aligned. You make it look way too easy. I finally used your welding trick to keep the pieces aligned. Really glad you approve of this method.
Have a 35g and the bucket needs some tightening. How do I know if I need to shim or replace bushings, etc…thanks for all of the great maintenance videos
Most likely the bucket or coupler wedge is worn. The bushings and pins last quite awhile with min wear as long as its greased. This was just taken the side to side play out

Thanks for the video! I bought some shims from ebay and used your video to assist in the install. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad we could help. What machine did you shim?
Great video guys. How about a collaboration with Shawn and Cam !
That’d be an awesome video
Really like how thorough he is. Treats the machine like it’s worth million dollars. Great stuff. I’m learning
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic instruction! I really enjoy these hands on videos. 😎
Thanks man that means a lot. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
I see a lot of wobble on the television gold mining shows! Also @ 8:10... That's a heck of a pin hammer! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks for sharing
Why push the pin all the way out? Just push out enough to put shim in one side at a time.

👍
Where can I buy shims for cheap ?
U forgot to put the Orings on to keep out the dirt
Good vedio.you look goofy with glasses and gloves on.
Wouldn't the bushings have worn uneven has their was tilt to the bucket not just a side to side motion

Whenever I do shims, I’ll do new bushing too that way everything is tight.
Where is the best place to buy shims
Dealer
I think his workmanship's kind of crude hammering on the end of the pen and the other stuff that he did
and what would you suggest he have done?
Why isn’t Cam on this video? Where’s Cam?? We want Cam!!
Way to shim that sh!t !
heck yeah mike
