I did`nt get any pics of the actual line boring being done on my old Hitachi ZX 350,but got this pic showing the amount of stripping involved to line bore the boom base.I think my digger had about 8500 hrs on it by this time,from 6000 odd hrs onwards was when i got it for hammer duties,which wears the pin housings more.The boom was knocking side to side & up & down before the line boring,but was as good as new when i got it back afterwards :D
Some of you will have seen the pic on here before :oops:
