Repair BIG Final Drive Hub for CAT D10 Dozer | Machining & Drilling
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2021
- In this video we need to repair a big final drive hub for a Caterpillar D10T Bulldozer. The duo cone seal area of the hub is worn out and needs to be modified and upgraded to suit a new duo cone seal ring (labyrinth seal). There are also two bolt holes in the flange that are damaged and need repair. So there is plenty of machining and drilling & tapping to get this job done. First we set it up in our LZMT lathe using a 950mm face plate and 6MT heavy duty live centre before machining to spec. After the machining is complete we use our radial arm drill for drilling the bolt holes to suit the new duo cone ring. We then finish off the job by repairing the two bolt holes in the hub. First we bore out the holes with an annular cutter, then machine up sleeves and interference fit using a pull bolt system. We hope you enjoy this video from our machining workshop!
In this video we are using:
- LZMT CW6280D Lathe
- Hafco ZX3050X16 Radial Arm Drill
- Hafco TM-1740G Lathe

This is my favourite engineering channel on TH-cam.
@@dermozart80 the longer the better some say 🤣
@@gaz0463 thanks mate!!
If you bust a tap in an expansive part like that, little diamond core drills work to cut them out but they are slow and i mean painful slow and you will burn up a few to get through what's left of a tap but they have saved my ass a few times when all else has failed
This couple has done more for Australia's reputation than any politician. Cheers!

I was super confused about the drill bit size, but then he explained it in bananas ... all clear then.
That's got me thinking about what other fruit or even possibly vegetables you could use to describe machine tools/parts etc. The possibilities are almost endless. What could you do with a Mango, Turnip, Comquart or Aubergine - clean answers only please!!!!

As there is never anything worth watching on TV, I started rewatching your old videos
Ten years ago, this WOULD have been telly.
GOOD telly.
We have no TV. Direct dropped the only two channels we actually watched so the TV is hooked to a DVD player and the living room set will be hooked to the computer and TH-cam. Haven't missed any network so far.
Your skills and professionalism are world-class!
I'd really love to see a video where you talk about the biggest and worst mistakes of your career...like a "Top 5" list.
It can be inspiring, confidence-building, and sometimes hilarious to hear highly experienced and skilled professionals tell stories about their worst and biggest failures. Thanks for your channel!
Hell yeah good idea
Dog has done enough shows to know what mail brings. He has his viewers trained well. Love it.

Best doggo on TH-cam!
There's something so satisfying about watching someone who is obviously very good at their job.
Thanks for watching mate
Right?
So glad that another Carl came in to do the important work. 😎
hi, I'm a mechanical maintenance technician and I work on the lathe, I work in a company in northern Italy and in the past I used to overhaul machine tools, I redid worn parts. Congratulations, you are very good and I like watching your videos and how you work, I like seeing how you restore certain equipment. I imagine that new ones would cost a lot. Ps, I was also in your country, in Sydey to visit my cousin who plays at the Opera House. I spent a wonderful month, the people are very friendly, beautiful city. Good day
I haven't gone to bed yet, this is the earliest I've caught a new episode. Love your explanations of what goes where and seeing the machines they go on
Thanks for watching so early!
...YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS-!!!
I really like that you never do any heavy lifing. Youlet the machines to the work even though it might be the less convinient option here and there. Really smart to not wear yourself out at work!

@@rogerofrhodri That's the kinda shit I was always made to do by people that have the luxury of using all sorts of health-conserving equipment.
I'm not sure there is anyone out there more worthy of the title "master of your craft" than this guy.
Just retired from a 38 year machining career. Loved every day of it. I’d sort of forgotten some of the daily nuances of the shop. Loosely holding the bushing as you part it off. Feeling the torque of the spindle in the radial arm drill as you start the tap by hand. The sounds of 3 phase equipment starting and stopping. The feel and smell of chips and oil on your hands. Scraping burrs out with a rout-a-burr(careful, they’re also handy for slicing a hand open). I miss it already. Thanks, I enjoyed watching.
I like that Curtis explains the process, the parts needed, and gives the cost of parts.
I am a retired general residential contractor and now a registered nurse. I don't drive tractors nor do any machining and I find this type of work intriguing, rewarding, and just awesome. Let's be honest. Who doesn't like fixing things?
Now you fix people! Nice.
The outtakes are always funny to watch, keeps me excited throughout the whole video !
And the spolier in there!!
As young as you are , I'm hard pressed to see such dedication ,& the care and concern and all the times you got past what any run of the mill machine shop would do,no short cuts,original parts ,tips& tricks so none of your repairs come back ! Who taught you the majority of what you know, some only know just enough and cross their fingers & hope & pray ! You sir are the benchmark all others try to be their whole life !!! And I love your bloopers at the end of your videos,and I can see the love you have for your wife and your dog ! Good on ya!!! Keep the vids comming .
You are an amazing man, Curtis. I sit in awe of your knowledge and your thoughtful explanations. Oh, and your outtakes show that even with all your capabilities, you're a regular guy anyone would enjoy having a beer with. Thank you for all your efforts, and kudos to the camera lady too, the giggles are priceless. I drink my coffee every morning in my Cutting-Edge Engineering coffee mug, it's my way of saying thank you every morning.
Just a great comment
His name is Kurtis.
My favorite bit was the imperial bananas. The ability to multiply and divide by 25.4 is an essential skill for a successful machinist. Followed closely by disassembling the lathe ways to be able to turn that massive drive hub.
Watching your professionalism and attention to detail I think whatever the customer is paying for any of your work their getting a good deal mate.
Definitely take pride in our quality of work and never had a customer complain
@@BrianHealy666 Alot
@@BrianHealy666 it is big and exacting work. Still going to be cheaper and faster than going OEM, even assuming they still make they part you need.

I find it impressive that you can make measurements that are accurate to the point that you can make parts fit.
And you do it on a regular basis. All the tricks that you know are learnt and assimilated are from being the God of engineering.
My dad was an engineer, mainly with sheet metal. Your skill and knowledge for the job is rarely found in this ‘modern’ world, as is your dedication to do any job properly. Love watching this channel 👍🏻
Great to see how much care and precision is involved in machining such huge chunks of metal. This was, for me, one of your best videos yet. You have a great camera operator too!
Hey Perry thanks for the great comment mate we both appreciate it cheers 😎👍
It also goes to show how much work goes into making those great videos, it's not all just shoot, edit and load up. Lots of retakes and getting to camera shots right. I worked on a few big budget films and to get just one minuets actual film time can take ages to produce.
Great team at work, thanks
+10, huge props for the camera op! 👍😁
When you think about the amount of energy stored in a 350kg chunk of steel that's spinning @190rpm, should anything break free the consequences would be bloody terrible - smashing the lathe, the part & quite likely the operator...
And nerves of steel, total focus, and patience with the bottom tap! Been there. (OMG, love the radial arm drilling machine!) Cheers!
I cant believe you didn't make this a 2 Part Series. ABOM would have turned this into a 4 Part Series while polishing off a couple of Smoked Briskets along the way. Thanks. Cheers.
LMAO
hey mate got to be honest we personally don't enjoy much watching longer series of vids if it could be in one video and always consider what we prefer/enjoy and apply it to our channel plus Karen thought it was about time for a longer vid 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I wouldn't want to watch more than an hour on a given video. This video felt closer to 30 minutes.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering the missus is always right!
Keith Rucker is worse like that…
During my working period in the Machine Shop of Canadian Kenworth Truck Industry, I made Several Tap handles from the Scrap metals, Medium Size & Small Size, the general Forman was impressed of them & he asked me to handle them to the Companies Tool Crip, because it was a Company properties, so every one can use them & return back to the tool Crip. It's fair I guess. I am so impressed of the way you inserted the sleeve inside the hole hub.
It was very interesting to see such professional work. I especially enjoyed the Duo-Cone Seal areas. I worked at Cat / Mossville in the 1970s in a program to develop a cheaper seal (but effective)for final drives and track rollers. It was just impossible to develop a hardened steel alternative to Stellite. It was neat how you could see the wear pattern on those face seals to determine how much time remained before replacement. Stellite as I remember was not only extremely hard but brittle as well...I remember how dropping one on a concrete floor almost guaranteed shattering. We had some success with the track roller size in the D4-D6 range, but with anything larger or for final drives, we just couldn't begin to attain the life or sealing capability of a true DUO-CONE seal. Thanks for the memories.
zionfrost,I worked on the old 46A and the finals on it when the worked in the dump always got wire or something caught in the finals and it was quite a chore to repair and the mating surface on the matching surface and the bearings were totally gone.
Most satisfying thread tapping job ever, I'm sure the D11 appreciates the love!
D10T🤣
WOW, I wish when I was young that I would have had the intelligence that you have. You do awesome work. Very smart young man. Great video as always.
hey Jeff thanks mate
Watching you work reminds me of my father doing the same work 40 years ago here in the US ( new Jersey) when i was a boy and young man. Pure professionalism and precision. Love the pup too, he is a love.
I have an old American Lathe in my garage in the UK. 1930`s LeBlond. Reggal 7 inch. It`s still going strong and accurate.
I've forgotten how many times I raised my eyebrows, at how coolly and calmly you described what you were going to do to repair this monstrous piece of an even more monstrous machine. Mesmerising doesn't even com close!
I love the mix of precission engineering and hitting it with a big hammer☺
I like the way you mentioned proper preparation or as I call it the 6 P’s in work. Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Great work.
That's it mate! 😎👌
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Ha! The British version is better, surely? Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance... 7 not 6!!
I have to say that was a real relaxing vid to watch on a sat afternoon(enjoying binging on your older content as I catch up). As you say preparation makes the job go so much easier than not doing the extra work before you start. The dog slot and the outtakes is a perfect touch to these great vids. The 3 of you make the perfect team and making real quality !! Keep up the amazing content..
After 46yrs in a one man machine shop doing similar work. You've got my respect good work
You n ever cease to amaze me with the breadth of your knowledge, you also got immense talent in you hands too. Just a pleasure to watch.
Cheers for the great comment
Mate, my first trade was fitting and machining, then I did my sparky trade (there were almost no manufacturing jobs in Sydney back then) and became an automatic gate technician, I wish I had stayed in machining every Friday night watching you work. Good to see a fellow QLDer (I've only been a Queenslander for 4 months) doing great stuff, love watching every week.
Welcome to the smart state 😂😂😂 thanks for watching mate always great to have Aussie support
Seeing all the bloopers makes me realize that it helps you to be so much more vocal about your work, and how complex things get, trying to explain what people don't actually understand because they would need to know how the process works. Happens to me all the time with electronics. hahaha! So kudos for the effort!
I am reminded of that old chestnut that I charge not for the time it takes me but for the experience it I have spent years in gaining. In your case not only acquiring the skills you display but the investment in machinery and plant that make your workshop one of the most complete go to locations for machining and repair. Just great to watch.
Dad always said..”It’s easier to trust a man who’s hands are dirty and his fingernails are chipped.”
Wise words. Hard work keeps a man honest not going to do something to jeopardize what we've worked hard to build 😎👍

"We are using a 5.15mm drill or a 13/64 in bananas." Every time he refers to imperial as bananas it cracks me up!
Never heard of bananas as units of measurement, but here in Canada we measure torque in uggaduggas.
@@daveincanada4794 these are bananas ". Having worked in both Imperial and Metric, I knew exactly what he meant. Each to their own, as long as it does the job, I suppose.
@@petemoore5104 It's when you get drawings with one half Imperial and the other half Metric...and a few draftsman's dreams
This channel is the ultimate expression of "work smarter not harder" I love it!
I love this channel. It's just straight ahead hands on machining and practical, professional repair work. Usually on some pretty good sized pieces that the average machine and repair shop doesn't deal with.
Even though I never have, I'm not, and never will do any machining, especially for earth moving equipment, I'm addicted to this channel! I'll take a wild guess and I bet 95% of the viewers also are never going to operate a lathe. But it's so interesting to watch.
I really appreciate that he explains things like the reasons why he goes through procedures and how the tools operate.
hey mate thanks for watching the vids glad they are enjoyed. We did a community poll and about 70% of viewers don't do machining!
I think perhaps a fair portion of us don't do it professionally - I don't - but may have a lathe, welder, drill press, etc. Even my brother-in-law, a banker, has lots of tools and is quite handy.
You know when the bed extension and the face plate are being fitted with you standing on the lathe bed that we are in for some large parts to machine ! I much appreciate how you use precision measuring methods when required by simple jigs etc when it doesn’t matter.
VERDADE bem explicativos, DIFERENCIADO.
As a machinist, I agree completely, especially about his explanations.
Over the last couple years I have been teaching adult education trade school programs, and have taken quite a bit from how he explains things. He's a great machinist, and I can tell you there's lots of good machinists out there who couldn't present and explain their work anywhere near as well.
What I enjoyed the most? The whole damn thing. If pressed, I'd say pulling those sleeves in was my favorite.
awesome mate thanks for watching!
When you've got 290,000+ subscribers, you know that you are doing something right.
Love the detail that you go into. Anyone in the business who wants machining done can see that you take great care in your work. Rock on.
The camera work was downright cinematographic on this one. What a treat!
That was some fine work! Been machining for a little over a year now (late career side-hustle). Understood everything you did - you don't just make things look easy, you make things really clear in these videos. Love the focus on the setup and operations. The slow-mo chip shots are great too.
I'm so glad you decided to tap by hand, watching guys tap holes with power makes me a nervous wreck. That quite an impressive drill press.
It’s exactly the same at our work, it’s Czechoslovakian design made in China, when the Czechs were communist and friendly with China, a bit of history
Wonderful slow motion. Excellent work by the camera person. Love the outtakes.
These are the most adictive videos on You Tube, once you watch one you are hooked. What a great husband and wife team,(not forgetting Homeless, your dog!) she is a fantastic camera operator and her husband a world class machinist, it's hard to believe that he manages all of this work on his own. I worked as a heavy equipment/diesel mechanic (Florida, USA) over the years (retired now) this is probably why I like watching these videos so much. Keep up these videos, you have a lot of fans around the world judging by the comments!

Hello Kurtis,
Nice work on todays project... I have always thought the labyrinth seal is a very cool design... Well done to Karen for condensing a days working into 55 minutes...
See you next week.
Cheers
Paul,,
Hey mate hope your week has been a good one. Yeah was quite an efforts on editing for this one glad it's enjoyed all the way in the UK! Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
This video takes me back to 1964, when I started work at 16 as an Apprentice Engineer. Awesome stuff.
I love these videos. I have 3 male inherited nephews from a parental death situation. I share these videos with them to show them what a “ man’s man” is. One of the three is now a machinist.
I don’t need to watch suspenseful movies; my heartrate elevates seeing those threaded rods pass within millimeters of the machine. 😳 Great video, and love seeing the SO having a pleasant day in the sun! ☺️
I'm a first year fitter.. your videos are really helping me with my trade! To see how everything I'm learning is applied in a practical sense. Thankyou for uploading it's really helping me out and I'm very interested in working in heavy machinery once I'm qualified cheers!
I've done a lot of shrink fit bushing repairs. Sometimes it is helpful to put the bushing on your puller and freeze the whole thing. That saves you time and helps keep the puller from heat sinking the bushing. The smaller the bushing, the more it helps. Nice work!
Usually, that gives you about a minute and a half to get it seated.
@@docalexander2853 It depends how much you freeze it. I like to get some dry ice and keep the bushings/bearings in there overnight. I almost never need a puller.
Proper planning, careful execution, and clearly pride in your work. Thanks for sharing, truly a pleasure to watch.
Love getting off work at midnight and and starting my long weekend with a CEE video. Cheers from Canada!
Have a good long weekend mate and thanks for watching!
Duo cones, if you look at them in a slightly strange way.."they leak"🙂

I got a call from an old friend while i was holding a pair in a box that was just delivered. They leaked....
@@gorillaau they leak! Don't look at them, don't speak to them and definitely don't sneeze at them 😂

It's nice to see other people working. It is doubly pleasant when this is done by a person who has not only "golden hands", but also excellent engineering knowledge. I watch your videos because they are interesting, creative and informative. Thank you!
It really gives me hope seeing a younger man with real skills and knowledge. Old hands like me are dying off, good on ya for keeping the craft going
Dogs are great, aren't they?! Always pleased to see you, never judge you, just glad to receive your attention!
I'm glad to see you're doing well, hope it stays that that way for you and yours.
I like how you only make sure the tap start square after drilling the hole, and then tap all the holes in one go at the end. Much more effecient then switching to a spring loaded tap guide for each hole.
Just that part 730 lbs or so? Oh my gosh those dozers are heavy!!! Beautiful job, as you said saving the customers thousands of dollars. Love the videos.👍👍
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched and I love it. I worked 30 years in ship repair and everything you did I’ve done exactly the same. I would like to show this to my grandson but being a teen he would probably get bored. I appreciate the ending with what really happened. I’m a subscriber now.
Очередной релакс для зрителей, спасибо! :)
Алтай смотрит ))
It amazes me what you can and are able to do. When I was in the US Air Force, I loved taking our parts to the machine shop. I worked in the hydraulic component repair, so I love watching your stuff. I know all about sealing surfaces, and how one tiny flaw, and its out of tolerance.
Love to see the new machine tools (post 1970). And the outtakes? Priceless.
Thank you for taking so much time to explain everything. Your work is impressive. You can see your dedication in everything you do and it's paying off. All that new equipment doesn't come cheap. Your progress is a direct reflection of your drive and dedication. Keep it up man!
The brick factory I used to work at had a Cat D8, we had to had the final drive completely replaced after a wire wrapped around the cone and worked it's way in to the gear assembly. It was almost as much as a new dozer to get it fixed. a little over $20k for parts & labor. We could've bought a new dozer at the time for $30-35k. Now you can pick them up for $10k. This repair is definitely worth it
I love the photography - your close in and I can see everything - perfect - and it's also perfect to see you make mistakes because otherwise it makes the rest of us look like we are - more or less the same as you.
enjoyed watching you work down under from a 77 year old retired trucker my first career was 9 years in a repair machine shop with a lot machine shop training prior to the machine work did some lathe work on a 36" long bed but loved the machine work but i found out that i liked working outside and i dump trucked 39 years but i still miss the machine shop i remember boring out a transmission with a spun bearing that appeared to be junk made the sleeve pressed the bearing race in it was about 24" inside the trani the guy was so happy he hugged me real hard that was done on a kearney & trecker horizontal mill ..
Kurtis, I don't know how much you make for doing the jobs that you do but I suspect whatever it is isn't enough. Your attention to detail is on a whole other plane. I love watching you work your magic!!!!! Nothing is ever good enough. If it's not perfection then it's not acceptable. And I love that about you.
Never user the term "cheap in comparison", try "financially advantageous" ;-) Great work as always, makes my Friday!

@@gorillaau Great idea! Thanks for bringing this to the table! ;-)
@@Churchill250267 No worries. Glad I could be of help.
Yup, the quality of his work is anything but cheap to be sure. I'm guessing it was about 2800 or so vs over 10K for a new part. Plus, when the seal wears out, it's field replaceable. He literally saved the customer 10's of thousands of dollars in the long run. Financially advantageous indeed.❤
10/10 would watch slow-mo of finger sweeping swarf again
Yeah Karen is awesome with the great camera work. Very smart. What a talented couple !
Using that blank to center the cutter was a bit of genius. The kind of finesse that takes experience!
I watched this before and still find it fascinating what a person can do with big equipment, experience and talent. Still impressed. I can’t like it again on the thumbs up but if I could, I would. Cheers.
4:27 Me, who is used to wood lathes: "Now THAT is a faceplate!"
Great explanation, as always the schematic view of part location is a great add. Alway good to see larger diameter jobs being completed with the same precision and tolarances as the smaller jobs. This some times hard to explain to non machinist. Keep up the great work CEE.
Thanks for sharing some feedback and taking time to watch
This man is one with his massive machinery at the micro level, his work is like watching metallic brain surgery.
Loved the slo mo Karen did when you cleared the swarf with your finger. Funny stuff. Excellent video start to finish. Wished I'd found you guys sooner. Thanks
BTW, the beautiful filming and editing is just the best! , and I love how she shows your hands on all the controls and dials as well as the cutting. The Master commanding the big machine to do magic seamlessly. Love those giant verniers too! :-D
Thank you very much 😁
Having watched many of your videos I am none the wiser with all things engineering. Regardless, there is nothing more satisfying than watching a master craftsman execute his trade with such command and finesse. Your engineering skills are exceeded only by your partners good looks, camera work and editing skills. Well done both of you and thanks for sharing.
Thank You Carl, even though Kurtis thinks your highlighting the problem areas, was a bit much. We here on the other side of the video. Appreciate making it abundantly clear what the problem is, Again thank you Carl.
I really enjoy watching a true craftsman working. Thank you! Your skill, knowledge, and work ethic is wonderful.
Be sure to check out the Out Takes folks. The Giggler is back and in fine form enjoying all of Kurtis' mistakes and discomforts!

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering She also has the benefit of knowing what will be on the video and what's being dropped.
Cusomer:"How much is this going to cost?"
Kurtis:"A shit ton."
But not as much as those bastards from CAT will charge!
@@connahjones8178 That's right!
That company should be very grateful that you work for them. You instill confidence that the job will be done right.
I have been doing this type of work for 45 years it is interesting to watch somebody else do it for a change I have also installed hundreds of those cats feels like you were showing I installed them for 20 years with the proper installation tool but never learnt the trick until the last 20 spray them down with alcohol and they will slide right in the alcohol will evaporate and stay in place makes installation easy and simple
Outstanding work Kurtis, having such a simple "in-shop" solution for pressing those sleeves was perfect! Another great video by our CEE AU friends, many Thx for your efforts!
Great stuff. Thanks for the out takes - appreciate your persistence against flubs and the continued good-humoured support of your camera team.
So satisfying watching that ring pop on after heating up
Hey mate, we must agree with you on that! Thanks for watching 👌
Another brilliant repair. I could watch your videos all day long. I am a generator repairman with very little machinist training. Your logical progression is amazing and pulling in those sleeves was the best. Thanks for imparting your knowledge to us. Your early training and education is obvious.
That comparison between this part and the same bobcat part really helps show the scale of the d10.
Yeah pretty impressive and to think that's just 1 part of the machine 💪🤯
As an apprentice fitter/machinist, your tips and knowledge really help me. I’m going to make some of those drill bit punches. So handy and so simple.
40 years a Maintenance Fitter Machinist, seeing some use a pointer to position the drill bit and use telescopic gauges to measure a hole! Brings a tear to my eye! Pity you don't have a vertical borer for stuff that big.🤪 Great work.
The camera operator and editor (the wife!) is VERY good! It's not easy to shoot and edit a video. It requires a skill and a lot of work.
Приятно смотреть на работу мастера ! Спасибо за ваши выпуски . -) UA
Cheers mate thanks for the great comment
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering pretty funny
That has to be one of the coolest drill presses I've ever seen! Seen you drill with it before but never seen how adjustable it is. Makes sense since you are working on such big pieces. And it goes without saying but love the content you guys are making!
I think that is actually milling machine. It’s doing double duty.
@@guybonfiglio5899 Nope - that is actually called a 'radial drill'. It is precise enough for most drilling, but does not have the same machining tolerance capability (.0005") of a regulation mill, especially out at its farther reaches. A mill with those tolerances and that range of motion would be half the size of your house.
@@eldorado96 And 10 times the cost of that house
Excellent craftmanship. Hat is off to the camera Lady, great work.
