This video is a job we did to replace a broken tip on a ripper shank for a Caterpillar D11 Dozer. This dozer has been ripping up very hard quartz rock and as with any heavy earthmoving equipment it is common for the ripper tip to break. First we cut off the broken end of the ripper shank using our UniMig straight line gas cutter and also bevel cut to weld prep the shank. We then fit and align the new ripper end before lots of welding. After the welding is complete we cut the ripper to shape using our 9” inch angle grinder. A lot of grinding is needed for shaping the ripper end to suite the ripper boot before drilling and counter sinking holes for the locking pins using our huge radial arm drill.

In this video we are using:
- Metalmaster HPM-150T Hydraulic Press
- UniMig CG30 Straight Line gas cutting machine
- Makita 2400W 9” inch Angle Grinder
- WIA Weldmatic 500i Welder
- Hafco ZX3050X16 Radial Arm Drill
