Hydraulic Wood Splitting Shear Tooth Replacement and Welding Repair

When a hydraulic wood splitting shear breaks a tooth, the whole machine is down. That means lost time, lost production, and a piece of equipment sitting idle that needs to be working. This is exactly the kind of repair we handle - the ones that require real skill to do right.

Here's what we were working with: a failed tooth that had to be fully removed before anything else could happen. Getting the remnants out clean is step one. If you skip that or rush it, the new tooth won't seat right and you're back to square one. We prepped both the shear body and the new tooth carefully before a single weld was laid down.

The new tooth itself was cut by Zerr Engineering LLC - a massive 2-inch thick piece of steel. That's not something you just pick up off a shelf. Having the right fabrication partner matters on jobs like this, and we're grateful for that collaboration. Once we had the tooth in hand, we got to work on the extensive welding needed to get it locked in solid.

This kind of repair is a good example of what we do across the board in the Eureka, MO area - field repairs, hard facing, bucket rebuilds, and heavy equipment welding of all types. The goal is always the same: get your equipment back in service and keep it there.

Down equipment costs money every hour it sits. Whether it's a shear, a bucket, or something else on your fleet, we've got the experience to tackle the tough ones. Good fabrication partners, solid welds, and attention to prep work - that's what it takes.
