In this video I split a Matbro TR250 as there’s some serious play in the centre pivot.

First job is to disconnect all the pipes and wires to the front end. Along with the steering rams and prop shaft. The bottom pin was extremely loose and lifted straight out, however, the top pin was tight and needed to be pressed out with a big bottom jack after removing the weld holding it in from a previous repair.
A little side job was to make a trolly for the big tank jack to sit on allowing it to roll on wheels, this was used under the front half when splitting the machine.
Once the machine was split, the centre joints were removed and the wear was obvious to see. Both the top and bottom housing will need line boring and the bottom pin holes will also need line boring.

That’s all for part 1

Hope you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for watching.
