Limit of Liability
Nye products including (but not
limited to); Buckets, Quick Couplers, Booms, Arms, Arm-Extensions,
Rippers and Rakes are custom attachments, designed and manufactured to
our customers specifications. Like all custom attachments, they can
apply an increased tipping moment and could have other unknown effects
on your machine. These effects can be adverse and in some cases result
in damage to your machines mechanical or hydraulic systems including
catastrophic failure and/or machine upset.
Due to the wide variety of attachment
types, conditions, and applications etc., it is impossible for Nye to
functionally test all of its products and develop specific operating
procedures and capacity ratings. It is the owner 's sole responsibility
to test their custom attachment and determine its capacity, suitability,
correct use and to evaluate the need for extra counterweights or other
modifications before putting it into service. It is also the Owner's
sole responsibility to provide specific operating procedures and revised
lifting charts for their machine and to ensure compliance with O.H.S.A.
and/or any other local regulatory bodies. Rev. May 9,2000

its new products to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one year from date of delivery or
1,500 hours of service, whichever comes first. Our obligation and
liability under this warranty is expressly limited to repairing or
replacing, at our option, any items we find defective, F.O.B. our

General
Welding Procedures
Jan 31, 2000, Apr
19, 2001
Most Nye products are
made from QT100 (T1 Structural) and AR400 (T1Abraision Resistant)
Quenched & Tempered steel plate. This extra strong heat-treated
alloy steel is heat sensitive and must be treated properly during
welding to prevent any unwanted hardening, softening or embrittlement
due to hydrogen contamination.
Non heat-treated materials like Mild
Steel, 33MAX, and 44W do not require pre-heating, but will not be
harmed by it. When in doubt about the type of steel, assume it is
Quenched & Tempered and follow these procedures:
- The area to be welded must be
completely clean and free from hydrogen sources: dirt, rust,
paint, grease and moisture. (Hydrogen contamination is the leading
cause of HAZ cracking.)
- Use a temperature indicating crayon
or suitable instrument for monitoring material temperature.
- If gouging is required, preheat area
to be gouged to 100°C [200°F].
- Completely gouge out all traces of
cracked material. (Gouge right through if necessary)
- Grind out all traces of carbon and
slag.
- Preheat area to be welded to 150°C
[300°F]. (Use welding blankets to keep the heat in)
- Do not allow inter-pass temperature
to exceed 260°C [500°F] or fall below 120°C [250°F].
- To prevent hydrogen contamination,
use only fresh new electrodes taken from a sealed bag.
- Use several “stringer” beads as
opposed to a few wide beads.
- Blend gusset or bracket end welds
smoothly into the base plate they are welded to by grinding. Avoid
sharp changes in material thickness, taper-off and blend-in welds
as opposed to running the welds out past the end of a gusset or
perpendicular plate.
- After welding, cover with welding
blankets and allow the material to cool slowly in still air.
Suitable (approved) electrodes:
SMAW - Stick Electrodes:
- For
all repairs use: E48018 [E7018]
FCAW – Flux Core Wire:
- For
basic repairs use: AWS A5.20 CSA W48.5 E70T-1 (ESAB Dual
Shield R-70 Ultra)
- For
heavy Q&T sections use: AWS A5.20 CSA W48.5-M E70T-5 (Hobart
FabCO85)

Bushing
Maintenance
Instructions for changing Nye retainer
type bushings.
Some Nye Contractors Grapples and Concrete Pulverizers
feature special hardened steel or aluminum-bronze pivot bushings that
double as retainers. These retainers are designed to keep the Grapple or
Pulverizer halves together when the main pin is removed during mounting
and dismounting.
Installing Bushings
IMPORTANT: Read all these instructions
before starting.
The bushings should be pressed in from between the
bosses of the moving side of the Grapple or Pulverizer with a portable
hydraulic jack.
- Lubricate
the bushings and get them started by tapping them into the bosses,
stepped end first, with a flat plate and a sledge hammer. DO
NOT TRY TO DRIVE THE BUSHINGS ALL THE WAY AT THIS TIME.
- Assemble
the Grapple or Pulverizer using the main pin and the back pin
(or a test shaft) inserted partway in from each side. (Two pins
are required to maintain correct boss alignment during bushing
installation).
- Using
a suitable jack and spacers between, press both bushings in
at the same time. The stepped portions of the bushings will
protrude past the end of the bosses and should loosely engage
the recesses in the fixed half of the Grapple or Pulverizer.
Removing Bushings
WARNING: The bushings are designed to hold
the Grapple or Pulverizer halves together when the main pin is removed.
The halves could move apart suddenly causing damage to property, injury or
death, if the bushings are damaged or removed.
- Block-up
and support the Grapple or Pulverizer as required so both halves
are stable and cannot move when the bushings disengage the recesses.
- Install
the main pin partway in one side to limit movement of the halves
during removal of the bushing on the opposite side.
- Collapse
the bushing using heat by running several beads of weld axially
along the inside. (the bushing will be destroyed during removal)
- Weld
a suitable plate inside the bushing to provide a surface to
push against.
- Tap
the bushing toward the center from the outside using a sledgehammer
and suitable pin pusher.
- Insert
the back pin or a spare pin through the bosses before removing
the main pin and repeating the process on the other side.

Bucket
Lifting Hooks
May 7, 2001
Standard
Nye bucket loops are provided as a customer convenience
and are not rated for any particular load. They are
designed for lifting the bucket and for securing the
machine or bucket on a float during transport. Nye lifting
loops are made of 44W or QT100 steel plate.
Optional
“load rated” lifting hooks with spring latches
are available at extra cost. These weld-on hooks are rated
at 10t, 14t and have a 5:1 safety factor. Special hooks
can be specified at the time you order your bucket or can
be installed on existing buckets in the field.
Contact our
office for price and availability.

Hydraulic
Piping Instructions
Jan 31,
2000
Field
installation of hydraulic pipes on Nye sticks and stick
extensions.
Note:
only the ends of pipe clamps need to be welded.
Nye
sticks and extensions are made with QT100 Quenched &
Tempered steel and must be pre-heated before welding.
Please refer to the “General Welding Procedures”
before starting.
- Lay
the pipes on the stick in the position that provides
the most suitable hose routing. (Refer to the attached
photo or drawing).
- Mark
the clamp locations on the stick with a felt pen.
- Remove
the pipes and grind the paint off the stick in the
areas to be welded.
- Grind
the paint off the ends of the pipe clamps.
- Remount
the pipes on the stick.
- Pre-heat
the spots where the clamps are to be welded. (Lift the
pipe while heating to avoid melting the plastic parts
of the clamp)
- Tack-weld
the ends of each clamp.
- Disassemble
the clamps and remove the pipes and plastic parts.
- Finish
welding the clamps. Each clamp should receive a 5 X
25mm long fillet weld on each end. (When re-heating
the weld area, apply the heat to the stick, not the
clamp. If the clamp is much hotter than the plate it
is welded to, it will shrink and crack as it cools).
- Final
assemble the pipes and clamps.
- Touch-up
with paint as required.

Tilt Ditching Bucket
Specifications
INTENDED
APPLICATION: Light to moderate duty ditch cleaning,
grading, brush clearing applications.
OPERATING
RANGE: Infinitely variable from 45° Left to 45° Right
(90° total)
CYLINDER:
4.0” Bore, 2.5”Rod, 10.375”Stroke.
MAX.
PRESSURE: 3,500psi (12,000psi burst)
WORKING
PRESSURE: 2,500 - 3,000psi (recommended port relief
setting)
OIL FLOW: 10 gpm. (adjust supply for :02 second sweep
time)
MAX.
TILTING TORQUE: 34,000 ft-lb. @ 3,500psi (due to tilt
cylinder)
SHIPPING
WEIGHT: Depends on size. (2,470lb for typical 66” on a
20t machine)
Nye
recommends installing two one-way check-type flow controls
near the end of the stick, or adjusting the travel
limiting screws on the bucket control foot pedal to
achieve a :02 second sweep time. A faster sweep time will
increase the chance of damage to the bucket cylinder and
pivot components due to pounding.

with this or any other Nye product please contact your
dealer or contact us directly.
