Here are some pics of a Caterpillar 834H RTD, Rubber Tire or Wheel Dozer, blade stabilizer we reconditioned. The blade stabilizer is often referred to as an A-Frame as well. The two bores on the arms always require boring to get them perfectly round before welding the bores up & then machining them back [...]

Here’s some pics of a Toyota 4-Runner V6 engine we finished to a shortblock assembly. After cleaning & checking the block, crank & rods for cracks we performed all the machine work. The block got the housing bore align honed, the cylinders bored & honed for new oversize pistons & the decks surfaced & [...]

Here are some pics of an old antique cast iron water pump that came in leaking off of a Hercules gas engine. We completely disassembled the pump & blasted all the pieces & parts clean to bare metal. We ended up having to machine a new shaft as the original shaft was badly worn [...]

Here are some pics of an aluminum inline six cylinder Toyota 2JZ cylinder head that we did a three angle valve job & surface to. We painted the valve seats with some blue Dykem before machining them so we could better see when they were cleaned up. A closer look at some of the pics [...]

Here’s some pics of a couple aluminum pulleys we custom machined for a customer's hotrod. We machined the old pulleys for this customer in the past but he's making some changes which requires different pulleys. The crank pulley is machined with both v-grooves as well as serpentine grooves. The v-grooves drive accessories & the serpentine [...]

Here are some pics of a Cummins ISB 6.7 liter diesel engine block we had in for machining. The cylinders had some scratches & wear so we bored them oversize by .020 (twenty thousandths). The deck surface had some imperfections so we machined, or surfaced, the top of the block flat & square. We then [...]

Here are some pics of a Caterpillar #151-5747 blade stabilizer that we had in for repair & rebuilding. Often referred to as an A-Frame, the blade stabilizer mounts behind the blade on an RTD, or rubber tire wheel dozer. We begin by boring the larger bore in the center oversize until it is round & [...]

Here’s some before & after pics of a Komatsu 830E haul truck Pivot Eye, or Nosecone, we had in for machining. The bore that houses the spherical bearing was worn & out-of-round. We machined the bore with our RAD (Right Angle Drive) boring fixture for an oversize bearing carrier. After the bore is machined to [...]

Here’s some pics of a Caterpillar 994H dogbone link that we repaired. The bores on both ends of the dogbone had to be machined, or bored, oversize. We then welded the bores with our automatic bore welding setup fixture. After the welding was done on the bores we then machined the bores back to the [...]

Here's some before & after pics of a set of inline six cylinder John Deere 744E diesel engine connecting rods. The big ends of the rods were out-of-round & required resizing, or reconditioning. The small ends are tapered with bronze tapered wrist pin bushings & they were scored & worn. We pressed the old bushings [...]
