An excavator was down over a bucket retaining pin. We turned, drilled, and tapped a shouldered 2" × 9" replacement and had it out the door in 24 hours.
An excavator sat idle over one part: the bucket retaining pin. A machine that isn't digging is burning money by the hour, and the replacement — a 2" diameter, 9" long shouldered pin, drilled and tapped for retention hardware — wasn't sitting on a shelf anywhere nearby.
We turned the pin from round stock — shoulder to diameter, bearing surfaces sized to the bucket bosses — then drilled and tapped the retention holes. Machine-down work jumps the queue at our shop: the job was quoted, cut, and finished inside 24 hours.
The pin went in and the excavator went back to work the next day. Heavy-equipment downtime is exactly why we run a 24–48 hour emergency repair service — one part shouldn't idle a machine, an operator, and a schedule.
