This is a Caterpillar 966 loader bucket that came in to have its pin bores repaired. The bores for the pins were all worn out so we used our portable line bore to machine them and true them up. Some of the bores we simply welded and then bored them out. Other bores we bored them out and then made sleeves out of some 4140 and pressed them into the bores. Though we have an AMC line bore for line boring the housing bores and cam tunnels of cylinder blocks our portable line bore affords us the opportunity to bore the bores of parts and pieces for heavy equipment. Pin replacement is common on most any off road equipment such as skidsteers, loaders, backhoes, graders, dozers, scrapers, and skip loaders just to name a few. All makes and models of tractors require pins that have bores that get worn out such as Caterpillar, John Deere, Bobcat, Kubota, New Holland, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Ford, Fordson, Mustang, and Kawasaki just to name a few. If you need any custom machine work or line boring please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
