That's not where that goes.

Always cool to meet new people. Tryloff invited me to co-dog the Trail Master Challenge, aka UltraPoor. We were on a tear until the D30 decided it was tired.

I’m quite impressed. It made noise for 2 laps and then went silent after that. We definitely partied in 2WD for a good while though.

How in the fuck you do that? Swing gearbox come loose? Of all the shit I have ever fix never had I had to fix a slew bearing. Knock on wood. But I guess if any of my hoes develop a slew ring problem they will just get loaded on the trailer and sent to the scrappers. A 30k excavator is not worth that kind of work:lmao:.
 
It's been commonish here recently...
There are some big hoes that are really sensitive with swing drive calibrations.
Now that there is so much REGEN and dynamic breaking from the swing the stick, bucket weights have to be dialed.

Also you can't leave bolts in the grease, or allow a hydraulic leak to wash all the grease out of the car body...:stirthepot:

Meh, easy peasy. 2 guys can change one out in a day if they hustle. We swap them out on drill rigs at the shop all the time.
 
Not so much impressive carnage, but ended up being pretty major for what caused it.

Bought a used atlas a while back with glitter oil, was advertised as needing a rebuild, got it for $1k.

Picked up a rebuild kit and finally got around to pulling it apart yesterday and found this

The stupid thing is it was all caused by a $0.50 bolt. Must have gotten lost, and po did a shitty job cutting another one down. Pushed into the thrust washer, ate it up, ate the bearing, wasted the pin and scared the case up :homer:

Fixable or is there case wasted?
 
Talked to Jr4x about it and he reminded me that the thrust washer there is stationary. So hopefully just clean it up a bit.

Shit breaks.

Least the guy noticed it broke, had a clue where it broke, and dug it up before the other dork ran it through the jaw:laughing:

Bunch of .045 later and it was back on the cat.

Yes my guys are trained to panic when we lose a tooth shank any large chunk of steel. We find it before anything else goes into the crusher. That steel gets in there and it could be game over for some pretty expensive shit.

Here's what a ripper tooth looks like after it actually made its way into the (coal) crusher. Ya know, for science. :homer:

A quarry i worked back in the 90s, had wa500-1 that had 5" or so round stock as bucket roll back stops. Blaster was cleaning up to start a new portal, didnt realize the stop broke out of the back of the bucket, it got loaded out and got found in the 4.25 cone crusher
