Replace DAMAGED Caps on Caterpillar 815 Soil Compactor Wheels | Welding & Arc Gouging

This video is a job we did to replace the worn out and damaged caps on a set of four compactor wheels for a Caterpillar 815F Soil Compactor. Over time the caps get damaged from compacting dirt, gravel and rocks which causes abrasion and wears down the caps. First we carbon air arc gouge off the welds to remove the worn out caps using our Lincoln Electric DC-400 welder and carbon rods. We then wire wheel and grind off the dirt and welds to prepare the pedestals for the new caps. Then we fit and tack the new caps on to the pedestals using Fluxofil M10 metal cored wire. Once all the caps are tacked in place we weld them on using Hobart XL525 dual shield wire to finish.
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- WIA Weldmatic 500i Welder
- Geiger Pneumatic Needle Scaler

  • There are so many positive comments about this channel and Kurtis' work that it almost seems pointless to post one more. However ... Kurtis is a truly amazing guy. I am constantly impressed with the quality of work, the care taken with small things like mounting jobs on the mill, tool changes on the lathe, fabulous welding, attention to detail, and mostly, the totally awesome videos of it all by his wife. I also love the details about weld wire, tool tips, gasses, etc. Fascinating stuff for anyone who's ever done any of this sort of work. This is by far the best channel on KZhead.

I worked on logging and road building equipment for a Union shop for 11 years until I figured out the Non Union shops did better work FASTER and with better quality! Better money, LESS Grabass and disorganization. There are good Unions out there. I won't name any particular one. The GOOD Unions offer ongoing training, best practices and safety training. The bad ones are run by crooks just hoovering up your dues and telling you to stop working to leverage your employer. For me it's do the job right, SAFELY, the first time and take care of your customer. Curtis is one of those guys. Skookum!

    • The problem is that there comes a point where unions crumble, because of people lobbying against them and then you get shitty work for a lot of money from corporations and the workers get very little benefit. There needs to be a balance as in a lot of other things, there is no not one right way to do business.

That is loud, hot, nasty work and at the time I didn't have a big enough air compressor to keep up. Later I got a small plasma cutter and use that for gouging the small items I work on. Eventually, I will get a hand torch for the Hypertherm Powermax 65 that is on the CNC plasma table that I built. I wonder if plasma works as well as the gouging rods. The hypertherm has a setting just for gouging.

  • Man iv done hundreds and hundreds of 815, 826, 836 and even some bomags. I can't imagine having to roll a wheel around in the floor to weld it. Our shop took a axle out of 836 Compactors, welded them up on a stand, hooked a electric motor to the pinion with a chain(so you can get a gear reduction with sprockets) and had a speed controller for you to set in your lap while you weld along with a scaffold in the front to stand and do your cleats up top since we primarily used metal cored wire. Also cut out multiple hub adapters so whatever wheel it be,, we can just bolt that adapter on and bolt the wheel up.. Props to you for sure man!🤣

  • Looks like a good job to break up the usual machining work. Actually, I'd wager that what makes your job so appealing is that no two jobs are exactly the same, and each time you set something up in the lathe or strike an arc, you get a wee bit better than you were yesterday. Very inspiring, Kurtis.
