FARM & EARTHMOVING MACHINERY
Machinery Repairs & Line Boring
Loaders, excavators, tractors, headers, slashers and implements welded where they broke. Worn pins and bores line bored back to size, cracks gouged out and rebuilt, and bigger rebuilds in our Mount Pleasant workshop.
Fixed In The Paddock, Not Towed Away
Iron Works repairs farm and earthmoving machinery on site. The rig carries the welder, generator, air arc gouging, oxy cutting and line boring gear, so a cracked loader arm, a worn bucket or a broken implement can be fixed where it stopped instead of being carted to a workshop.
Line boring is a big part of that work. When a loader, excavator or tractor linkage starts to slop, the pin bores have usually worn oval. Line boring rebuilds the worn bore and machines it back to size in line, so new pins and bushes fit tight again.
Sean has been welding since 2014 across agricultural, industrial and heavy-machinery work. Repairs that need more time or more steel come back to the Mount Pleasant workshop and go home finished.
Line Boring
Worn pins and bores on loaders and machinery brought back to size.
On Site
Welder, generator, gouging and cutting gear come to the machine.
Farm & Earthmoving
Tractors, headers and implements, loaders, excavators and plant.
Breakdowns
Emergency call-outs fitted in as soon as we can. Mon to Sat, 7am to 5pm.
Machinery We Repair
If it is steel and it has cracked, worn or snapped, call us.
Line Boring: Pins & Bores
Worn pin bores on loader arms, buckets, linkages and pivots rebuilt and bored back in line for new pins and bushes.
Loaders & Excavators
Bucket, arm and wear-plate repairs, cracked booms and brackets, with failed welds gouged out and rebuilt stronger.
Headers & Harvest Gear
Header fronts, frames, augers, chaser bins and truck trays repaired before and during harvest.
Pre-harvest checkTractors & Implements
Three-point linkages, drawbars, tyne bars, slashers, sprayers and mower decks welded and modified.
Trucks, Trays & Trailers
Truck trays, chassis, drawbars, stock trailers and floats repaired on site.
Welding repairsCrack Repair & Rebuilds
Air arc gouging to remove failed welds, then a proper rebuild, plus new brackets and plate where the old steel has worn thin.

How A Machinery Repair Runs
01
Call with the breakdown
Tell us the machine and what has failed, and send a photo so we bring the right process and consumables.
02
We come to the machine
Paddock, shed, depot or job site: the rig brings the welding, gouging, cutting and line boring gear.
03
Back to work
Most repairs are finished on site. Bigger rebuilds run through the Mount Pleasant workshop.
Where We Repair Machinery
Across the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa, the Murraylands and Adelaide, from our base at Mount Pleasant.
Machinery Repairs & Line Boring: Common Questions
What is line boring?
Line boring repairs worn pin bores. The worn bore is built back up and then machined back to size in line with its partner bore, so new pins and bushes fit tight and the machine stops slopping.
Can you line bore on site?
Yes. Line boring is part of the gear we carry on the mobile rig, so worn pins and bores on loaders and machinery can be done where the machine is parked.
Do you repair loader and excavator buckets?
Yes. We repair buckets, arms, booms and wear plate on loaders, excavators and heavy plant, using air arc gouging to remove failed welds and MIG or arc to build them back stronger.
Can you fix a header or harvest gear mid-season?
Yes. Call Sean on 0455 579 207. We get a lot of emergency call-outs and fit them in as soon as we can. Standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 5pm; it is not a 24/7 service.
Do you repair tractors and implements?
Yes. Linkages, drawbars, tyne bars, slashers, sprayers, mower decks and implement frames are welded, repaired or modified on site or in our workshop.
How much does a machinery repair cost?
It depends on the damage, the steel and how long it takes. Send a photo of the break and Sean will give you a free quote.
