Dude! When I got back from Vietnam I worked as a welder's assistant at a rock quarry and did the "step and fetch" stuff like a welder needs. If memory serves correctly, we were not allowed to work on anything that did NOT have at least two inches of frozen mud on it! LOL Conditions were absolutely awful much of the time. The day you welded, was a day in our dreams! LOL Well done, and thanks for sharing.

Have you ever tried LA-90 or LA-100 Lincoln wire for some of those repairs on heavy equipment? I've had really good results with it when dealing with those high strength steels that most equipment is made from. It is a little bit more trouble because a preheat is almost always necessary but when you are dealing with alloys like T-1 and AR-516 you get a much stronger weld. Good job getting getting that yellow beast back in the field and doing something productive! Folks like you are becoming a rare breed nowadays, not enough young people are learning how to do heavy repairs in the field anymore..... Even though I'm around this type stuff all the time I still enjoy watching others out there getting it done and I have learned a few tricks along the way! Really enjoy your videos, keep that hood down, and the sparks flying!👍

Are you in the Central Valley
Yes.
Not much heat on weldings.
Технологическая недоработка инженеров Катерпиллера. Надо было эту чашу с внутренней стороны (донце чаши) делать большего диаметра. Усиливать металл в месте установки этого узла. Technological flaw of Caterpillar engineers. It was necessary to make this bowl from the inside (the bottom of the bowl) of a larger diameter. Strengthen the metal at the installation site of this node (a thicker sheet).
The owner didn’t give you enough time to do the job correctly & when it doesn’t last, he’ll complain. Maybe next time, he’ll not be in such a hurry & you can do it the way you know it needs to be done.
Haha, customers whom run scrapers only care about “now”, get it in the dirt again as fast as possible
When it breaks again it’ll be the welders fault no matter what.
the machine is in the dirt doing its job asap, customers happy, it breaks again it gets fixed again but with tight windows and schedules theres not much time to ne waiting around
While you are watching this video, your government is supporting terrorists in Ukraine for your money
@@Odessa-2maya-2014 not much we can do about anything the government decides to do. 🤷♂️

Do none of these companies do preventative maintenance? I mean it keeps you busy but some of these jobs look like they have been neglected for quite a while
Not saying it's wrong, just surprised you short circuit a lot of your field repairs. Still get a like for good work.
👌👍
Wire is quicker than 7018 but is it stronger ?
It can be just as strong or stronger depending on the wire.
No señor primero tienes que sujetar la pieza en la parte interior haciendo un agujero en el centro y soldarlo después solidarias lo de la parte de fuera
Burning more wire , good job of repair
