Reply:SteveI hauled a 330 to a job where a Komstsu had a busted boom. Ended going back a few days later to haul it back to the shop for our guys to fix. I was always amazed when they would rebuild the buckets for Vulcan and hanson quries. Lots of time in them.Learning one rod at a time

Reply:Originally Posted by VPTNo beveling on any of the plate? Is it common to just build up weld on the outside of the plates instead of beveling and getting the weld penetrated to the center of the plate?
Reply:Naaaaa no beveling on this application..Think of it as one big "T" joint..Looks great!You must have a line borer or one big a$$ machine to do the bores with.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:Thanks everyone i should have taken some in between pictures on lineboring the 990 boom.  I used the same bar setup as i did in the d11n rollerframe posted on here a while back but i drove it with a magdrill.  Next time i will do a set up to finish shots.  The holes were built up with 7018 by hand like a caveman would do it. Hopefully soon i will have a borewelder.  The bores in the boom were 6.5 dia and 7.5 deep. Thanks Steve Attached Images
