TB145 boom material?

Seans problems ยท 2019-03-25 17:09

Hi everyone. I have a TB145 that has a 3inch long crack in two places. I'm going to drill out the ends and put fish plates over the finished weld. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of metal takeuchi used for the stick and boom for their machines?

    I am not sure what material takeuchi uses but a lot of the OEM's recommend 572 gr 50 plate for repairs. I would think that would hold well on yours.

    Good day Please see attached it may be helpful, not sure if your steel supplier use the spec but 50B plate always achieved satisfactory results. Kind regards Uffex
