Im a big proponent of cursing violently at stuck bolts and bashing my knuckles on sharp corners. 60% of the time it works every time.
Only someone thats been in a SnapOn van gets the 3rd step joke.
I think Kevin may be getting kickbacks from Harbor Freight, but he's an entertaining guy.
Replaced a starter on a JD 624 in Fayetteville NC last year had to buy a set of inverted (male) Torx at the local harbor freight. The employee at the register told me if I ever break one to bring the whole set back. Maybe this is regional or just a new simpler policy.
Snapped off bolts, the nightmare of every mechanic
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Jack up the radiator cap & run a new dozer under it!
The radiator is probably bad too😂😂
These induction coils are usually only used in places where a open flame is bad, like hydraulic hose fittings, injection lines and fuel line screws, nothing replaces the oxy gas torch except maybe the oxy lance
I have been shopping at Harborfreight for over 20 years and when I was a mechanic for Bobcat, I priced three angle wrenches for hydraulic fittings with Snapon, and they were $300.00. I purchased the Harborfreight complete set for $39.00 I have them to this day!
the ductive heater is designed for nuts stuck on threads not bolts stuck in threaded hole, for bolts stuck in threaded hole i heat the metal around the bolt then cool just the bolt , normally works
Exactly.... You're trying to expand the "hole" while keeping the bolt cool (and thus relatively the same size).
I agree. You should have heated the metal the bolt was in. I've been working on autos, trucks and heavy equipment for over 45 years. The only time I need to heat the bolt, was to get rid of Red Loc Tight, first.

Just a hint. Nuts are not the same as bolts. The induction heater works better on nuts as it expands them off of the bolt. Heating the bolt causes it to swell in the plate. Of course a molten bolt will come out! 😄
The little coils you use for that tool are small induction coil and to work properly they need a gap around the part, the more times you heat the steel it changes the property of the steel especially when you add the penetrant oil . we use to use induction coil on a larger scale but still work on the same principal. Heating the frame more may have worked better, we only heated bolt heads if lock tight was applied.
I found sometimes you can take a torch and blow the bolt out without hurting the threads because of the mass of the frame. Melts the bolt but does't hurt the frame threads. Works great.
If you have a bolt that is stuck , you can easily remove it by heating it red hot then quince it with water until it’s cold . It will come out very easily , works every time . I have used that trick for 30 years. You keep up the great work.
"Don't believe everything you see on the internet."

To loosen a nut -- heat up the nut & it will expand.
To loosen a blot -- heat up the area where the bolt
goes into or freeze the bolt.
Heating the bolt will cause it to expand & get tighter.
If you heat the bolt, it will expand into the cold bore of the frame, the frame is rigid so the bolt if got enough will compress, but then you need to let the bolt cool completely to get a couple thousandths clearance for penetrating oil to soak in.
You should have used a rose bud tip on the oxy acetylene torch and got the rail red hot. I worked o a lot of Turf Eq back in the 70's and it would work almost every time 😀
Never a dull moment with you guys when it comes to repairing heavy equipment bro. Defiantly made for great viewing. Safe travels. Ken.
An idea for your roller jack mod, get a couple pieces of square tubing that slides over the existing square tube to extend the reach for when the track is still on the dozer.
Very honest guys......most people would of kept the rest of screw drivers. 👍👍🍻
You may want to try some Kroil Penetrant for rusted/stuck bolts and nuts, this is the best stuff that I have ever used.
I priced that kroil penetrant and the price is outrageous on Amazon.
@@deliveryguy7402 I know mine was over $20 on Amazon but it is the best stuff I have ever used.
@deliveryguy7402 but it is good stuff. Jack leg mechanic here but it's all I use . Sometimes just got 2 pay fiddler ! God bless and have a good day .
They are really proud of kroil. Zep has worked better for me. & more affordable
@@geostawny you differently want to us what works best for you
The induction heater is really good in situations where you can't have a open flame, but what you are doing the torch, will do the same thing
It's cool seeing how the vehicles are actually worked on after driving them for so long. Always appreciated the mechanics, they have the ability to keep your job *very* frustrating and uncomfortable if they so desired.
I'm surprised you didn't use an air hammer to "shock the bolt" before welding it. Shocking the bolts really really seems to help off rusty and stuck bolts.
Track frame bolts are bad boys. I have had success in removing stuck bolts by shocking red hot bolts with cold water. Seems the instant contrast helps shrink bolt diameter . Any port in a storm when it comes to stuck bolts!!
Good job, great work. Keep it up!❤❤❤
They've been working that kitty hard in the woods!! Have a good week Mr. C & Mrs. C ❤😊 Keep up the awesome work team!! 💪👍❤❤😊
Thanks ☺️ have a great week also 😉
It’s a “Deere John”!…not a Cat!
since you had access from the top of the broken bolt in an open hole....would have been an interesting candidate to try the "Candle Wax" method for removal
I’ve used paraffin wax to remove couplings from shafts. It works good. I keep a block of it in my toolbox.
Clinton and Kevin looked like one lousy day! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Welded eleven nuts one time…got it on the 11th!
In order to get the bolt loose after heating it you must allow it to cool completely or heat the steel in goes into . Heating only the bolt will only tighten it until it shrinks from cooling. Any metal will expand with heat by cooling it the metal will shrink. You can see this on metal shaping .
You want the fastener in the middle of the coil with an air gap around it. I know it sounds counter intuitive but that's how they work. Thanks for sharing guys.
I know on our 650H it lost prime all the time and chased it figured we had fuel leak somewhere couldn’t find anything changed a lot of them rubber grommets on them small metal fuel lines with no luck and finally found where they changed the design or came out with another hosing for the first fuel filter think they got rid of the hand primer on first fuel filter hosing changed that out hasn’t never lost prime since that…sales service woman at our John Deere dealer said her tractor done same thing till she changed that part out so we tried it and damn the luck
Always such a joy working on heavy equipment.
Have you guys seen the IDF dozers? They are crew by 2 soldiers and have bullet resistance glass,air conditioning, and a heavy machine gun. I believe they are Caterpillars. Love your videos seeing how you guys are saving equipment that can be saved.
I think that dozer has a bunch of hidden surprises lol it will take lots of dollars to get it 💯
Maybe not so much at harbour frieght , butttt LOWES REFUSED to exchange my ratchet. I was Givin a set of kobalt 3/8 socket set.
I went to go exchange the ratchet & the STORE MGR preceeded to argue with me about returning the entire 3/8 drive socket/ratchet set. I told him I didn't have issue with the set , just the ratchet. He said bring the set & lowes will be happy to exchange.
That's just crazy....
Great videos gentlemen. Plz keep em comin
3 out of 4 bolts and that ain’t bad
Been there dont all of that personly i would never have quit for that bolt but i feel your pain
Hahahaha! Now I see your Snap Off man brought you exactly that. Let’s see if it works!
I love it. Work smart, not hard. Let the machine work for you. You guys are GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Another great video. I definitely feel for you on broken bolts. They can turn a 15 minute job into hours!! I’m definitely known as the anti seize guy at work! Lol
You all are definitely good at your chosen line of work. I do enjoy watching your troubleshooting abilities!
Free all is “ the “ best penetrating oil by far
Guaranteed the last time those rollers saw maintenance is when you at C&C did it ,loggers and farmers will run them til they break ,and it's no fun working on them every thing is heavy
Thanks Clint!
Those fasteners can be a real challenge when working on the big iron, the metal is so big it is a big heat sink. Thank you for posting.
All the best from the U.K.
Nice to have the truth about tool replacement from Harbor Freight! And your videos are always interesting. Sometimes your frustration is obvious but you also adapt, improvise, and overcome!!!
I remember doing that years ago and after many nuts and washers plus many many cuss words and a few beers a buddy of mine said drill the center of the bolt and weld another nut on and I joke you not that bolt came out. We had the rail red hot at one time and it still wouldn’t come out until the center had that hole drilled in it. As far as the Harbor Freight deal on what others are saying I have had zero issues returning or warranty on anything I have purchased.
You could try freezing the nut, with dry ice to shrink the threaded section. I used this idea on railroad traction motor flange bolts. Dry ice will freeze it down to minus 60 degrees C. And shrink the bolt a few thou. But you need to do this on every bolt before putting on the impact wrench. And before heating them as heating will soften the high tensile steel of the bolts. You need to make up a soda can with one end cut off, put metholated spirts in the can so you can have the head of the bolt immersed in the meths. Put the dry ice in the meths till it stops giving off vapour. In case you dont know what metholated spirits its just pure wood alcohol. I held the can with welding gloves. Give it at least ten minutes of soaking time. This method will keep the strength of the bolt.
I always enjoy your videos. I like these longer shows. Thank you and be safe.
Whenever I'm rolling around in the dirt and sticker burrs splitting sockets, bending wrenches, and just taking a general butt whipping I always wonder how much it would cost just to get those TH-cam guys in India and Pakistan to come over with 18 guys in sandals with their homemade tools, sledge hammers, and 20 foot cheater bars and just fix this damned old heavy iron. Thumbs up. Always!
A trick i use is weld a washer onto the bolt then a nut onto the washer and inside the bolt that way you get more weld on the broken bolt ! Just a thought
You guys and your work is mesmerizing....keep watching, watching. Thanks. Another FIRE TRUCK!.....
I love this channel it's very informative but when you and Kevin get together and start bantering back and forth then it gets down right fun as well! It really doesn't matter what your working on if you snap a bolt it just sucks! Keep it coming with the great content guys and have a great week.👍👍
Heating the bolt makes it expand into the hole. You need to heat the metal surrounding the bolt.
If that’s the case, why would the new tool heat the colt?
True, but they are heating the metal to expand the bolt to break any rust up so they can then turn the bolt. once it cools down - even a bit - as it cools down it breaks the rust bond and makes it normally so that the bolt will turn.
If it doesn't then..... it can't be stuck if it's a liquid.
@@user-zk3ly3ib8m It can work in some cases. But the best bet is to heat the rail not the bolt.
@@user-zk3ly3ib8m I'm not an induction expert..if your cooking pan base won't stick to a magnet then the induction method of heat transfer will not happen on your induction stove top, stainless pans will often include a mild steel layer stamped between two stainless layers to make it compatible with induction cook tops ..those induction coils in the stove top may very well be directional, else wise any steel component inside the stove top would be a fire risk, the coil used here was touching the bolt head far more than the surrounding steel
But it shrinks when cooling.
good times! thanks for sharing
Yes, sometimes all this newfangled tools aren’t what they cracked up to be but maybe it will work in the future, it is amazing how fast you can turn into a bucket a fuck in a hurry
Love your honesty
floor jack with forks............. big win and super smart. Better file for patent.
Heating bolts works because the hot metal expands. With no place to go, it elongates, compresses, or stretches the parent metal. As it cools, it is smaller than the original diameter. Let them cool as much as practical.
Awesome,thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project with your team 👍👍👍👍
"Properly breaking" the screwdriver brought back memories of a dude I worked for who tried to return a tool for a warranty only for them to tell him it "wasn't broken enough". So he went back outside, stuck it in the pintle hitch on his truck, and finished it off.
CLINT YOU GOT A. FOR EFFORT AND KEVIN GOT A C- FOR ALL THE CHUCKLES!!!!!..😅😮
Great job great video thanks Clint and Kevin and Mason
the magnet that you picked up is one i use in my shop all the time and I once took it to a BSA Jamberall where the troops were given chopped up pallats for their fires that weekend and the magnet removed all the nails from the fire pits the next day before we disposed of the ashes. IT WORKED GREAT.
When you have a rust seized nut or bolt, heat it up red then douse it immediately with freezing cold water. It usually breaks the bond.
Boy O Boy you are so correct on biding a jobs verses time Job. People just don't realize what it takes!!!!
nice job guys. I have used the bolt heaters a few times they work great
Hey Clint, You gave it your best!! Hope the customer appreciates all your effort! Another great video! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
C&C try candle Wax. Heat the bolt then melt wax around the bolt let it cool then try.
Please, please, PLEASE take care of those knees boss man!!! I'm 58 and beat on my knees like you do, and I've been told I needed both knees replaced back in 2010!!! I lost 60 lbs which helped but now I'm at the point that I've gotta get them done... Please lose some weight and TAKE CARE OF THOSE KNEES!!! Don't mean to nag, but having bad knees really sucks!!! ALWAYS enjoy your videos 🙂
I am.63 years old and husband of 40 years is 62. We both got both knees replaced 13 years ago. Fun times.
Thats how it goes for me. One thing leads to another problem. Good job fellas getting it tackled.
"Well I didnt want it to be easy" sounds like a great C&C t shirt - great stuff team
great video,can't wait to see it back in the shop to see how you fix that bolt 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
That dozer was built on a Monday after a long weekend! You have a lot of patience Clint. Great video!
Awesome video! I don't know which was better than the Dozer or going to Harbor Freight 😅 Thanks for sharing 👍
Ive always heated it cherry red then hit it with really cold water Heat/Quench method. The heat expands it the cold shrinks it.
I was waiting for the jig, angle drill and tap to appear. A great example of just how a simple job, is anything but. Thanks Clinton.😊
The way that bolt refused to come out I think that only a drill bit will cure it. Using your torch and heating the frame and letting Kevin play the drums on it with his big hammer might have helped.
A thousand dollars for the tool, the Snap -on guy should have demonstrated it for you to prove it's worth
Don’t know if it’s the same part number but summit has one for under 700 before tax & shipping but the snap it guy brung it today.
$1,000 for a transformer, power cord, switch and LED in a plastic case with some metal coils.
Wow.
Apparently Apple is making tools now.
Great job guys.
Needed your double barrel blaster for that stuck bolt.
Sorry for the trouble I know that's frustrating.
I had found they work great no problems best things ever
get them bolts cherry red then hit em with ice cold water. 30 yrs ago an old man showed me that and to this day it still works 99 percent of the time
The perfect fade out!!! I love our flag.
Guys i feel your pain been there many times simple job turns out a nightmare good you got it done and away👍
Thanks for sharing guys great work as always 🦘
First rule of troubleshooting, start with the simple and work toward the complicated. I have been a troubleshooter all of my life and speak from experience when I say that most do not know this rule!
Kevin made me spit my drink out when he said. After the 3rd step it's consensual. We joke about those trucks around here about being the original rape vans
Cool those broken bolts down with cold water, it usually works.
Heat the part the bolt goes into, also air hammer around it, helps to break that stuff up a bit. And for those induction heaters, I use them for o2 sensors. The coil doesn't touch the fastener, it's not supposed to. Hence, the induction part of the induction heater.
To undo really tight bolts we used 3/4 in drive breaker bar which was home made.We used a piece of 1 inch 4130 steel about 4 feet long and bent it 3 inches from the end with oxy to get 90 deg.Then filed the 3/4 drive onto it..This has the effect of removing any flex which makes a big difference.And yes still use heat.
Small world, I live right down the street from that Harbor Freight. I work at the Cummins engine plant
Ive been using Harbor Freight for years. Good tools even in an industrial concept
The induction heater works good used it many times on 5/8 and larger bolts.
Lots of frustration in this one, but then again, some relatively simple repairs too,.... eventually.
Oh the joys of having to work on used and abused equipment.
Yup, had days like that! Weld, wrench, break. Rinse and repeat...
I have many broken bolts from the bottom rollers of crawler cranes. had .
I've always had the best luck with drilling a hole in it, making it red hot and then letting it cool. but still a lot of work
Thank you so much for your videos
You should’ve called in sick!
