ExcavatorsSUPPLEMENT: 11/18/85SERVICE MAGAZINE, AUGUST 11, 1980, PAGE 4, "Stick Bracket Now Available As A Regular Parts Service Item". This article applies only to 245 Excavators (95V and 94L) with 110 mm (10.5') and 210 mm (14.5') sticks.--------------- END SUPPLEMENT ---------------Description of Change: The pivot bracket used for repair of damaged sticks on 245 Excavators is now available as a regular parts service item. Formerly, the pivot bracket was available only on a special order. As a regular parts service item, the bracket will be easier to order when needed for stick repair. The bracket is available only as "rough material" (not finished), and the bore must be machined after installation on the stick.Adaptable To: The 5V2384 Bracket can be used with all sticks for 245 Excavators 95V1-up and 94L1-up. Information about installation of reinforcement plates on sticks of 245 Excavators is available in three earlier articles. These articles can be used for reference, if this information is needed. The articles are: 1. "New Stick With Stronger Design Characteristics" on Page 1 of the August 23, 1976 Service Magazine. This article tells about reinforcement of earlier sticks.2. "Reinforcement Plates Can Increase Service Life Of Stick" on Page 6 of the August 28, 1978 Service Magazine. This article tells about reinforcement of later sticks.3. "Improved Design For Stick Reinforcement Plate; New Recommendations For Welding" on Page 1 of the April 23, 1979 Service Magazine. This article gives later information about the design and welding of stick reinforcement plates for both earlier and later sticks, with a reference to the first two articles.
