Great job. I relax watching you. An old Amish guy taught me to light a candle and put it on my workbench when I am working. He said candles burn slowly and so should a craftsman. He said any time you feel like you are rushing blow the candle out and come back later. I think this same Amish guy taught you how to work.

Looks like a great repair. One way I like to gusset a round repair is cut off some flat bar to an appropriate lengthXwidth, weld to one side and use a jack on the opposite side to form it to the radius. Then you have a virgin steel gusset around the whole piece, though the two section gusset should strengthen it quite a bit also Some of my favorite tools for prepping in field repairs are the metabo 7” tube sander, metabo 4” burnisher and the metabo chamfer tool Cheers buddy

It’s a temporary fix. Or I would have used run out tabs. Dual shield has the same strength as stick depending on the wire selection. And a way faster deposition rate. Only flaw is sometimes the wind will get to you.

@@OFW I got my first welder back in 1985. Done one or two beads since then. I still feel like a newbee almost everyday there is so much to learn. For the wind I was thinking a folding screen like you see the pretty lady changing behind in the movies but bigger and some sand bags to keep it from flying away. Another reason I like stick, doesn't care the wind. I have been hit with a gust strong enough to push me off the weld though. Can't account for everything in life. Good thing I had loads of room before I got in trouble by being pushed around by the wind.

Isn't the welding material/metal different to the part? Also, isn't the structure/crystal of the welded metal going to be different as well? Does that make the weld quite weak compared to the part? Also, how well does the weld actually stick/bond to the part?

Great job again
Very neat from the UK
Do you have them sign something saying you will do your best to Weld and fix it, but aren't liable for damages should it break?
Just a personal thing, this job is big enough some run out tabs might be worth using. I've rarely use them because I almost always stick weld any high stress joint. I really want to look into dual shield. Understand it has almost the same penetration stick does and builds faster than mig.
It’s a temporary fix. Or I would have used run out tabs. Dual shield has the same strength as stick depending on the wire selection. And a way faster deposition rate. Only flaw is sometimes the wind will get to you.
@@OFW I got my first welder back in 1985. Done one or two beads since then. I still feel like a newbee almost everyday there is so much to learn. For the wind I was thinking a folding screen like you see the pretty lady changing behind in the movies but bigger and some sand bags to keep it from flying away. Another reason I like stick, doesn't care the wind. I have been hit with a gust strong enough to push me off the weld though. Can't account for everything in life. Good thing I had loads of room before I got in trouble by being pushed around by the wind.
👍! Thanks for sharing!
Nice work 👏 👌 👍
You are an amazing craftsman
Just wondering why you didnt heat/ pull back in the first place then gouge after.. wouldnt that be a better start point then ving the hole out then trying to find the right id?
There are many ways to do it. That’s just the way I choose.
Great repair and great video, where did you get that stone for your grinder?
My local welding supply store
Was a neat job , and I don't think anything happen for this for a long long time 👍
I’ve done those befor get a crane on site so u can dip it up on its sides .then u don’t have to lay on your back gouging .cut the front cross member in half take it out makes it easier . Then fish plate it when it goes back together.use a number 5 tip in your touch and do as much cutting of the old hinders out lest air gouging then to . Just way I did it look forward to see how u do it
Great video. Die grinder shards are the worst type of metal shavings. The splinters are a pain.
A clean work
Did you controll fore perfect cirkle of the hole there...🤔
I run lowboy for a local construction company, we do the wet utilities, I move our wheel loaders , excavator's. Our biggest excavator is a JD 850D it comes in @ 160K& some change. To me that's a engineering flaw, you would think that part of the trailer would be over engineered. Q: wouldn't it been better to wrap that with a piece of flat plate? And wouldn't that spread the load out better that on a 1" guesset
Yes and no. It’s a temporary repair so anything is better than nothing. I do agree that it is a bad design.
The gusset was a nice touch.
thats a cracking fix bro
Looks good to me good job
How loose where the pins? Good call on adding the gusset on the outside. I probably would have doubled that gusset still that was good instinct to add it.
Loose, about 1/8” of slop.
Isn't the welding material/metal different to the part? Also, isn't the structure/crystal of the welded metal going to be different as well? Does that make the weld quite weak compared to the part? Also, how well does the weld actually stick/bond to the part?
The wire I used is the same as the original material. The preheat helps with the structure of the weld. The weld is probably stronger than the rest of the part. It bonds really well if it didn’t it would fail immediately.
@@OFW Thanks for the response!
Really enjoyed the repair brother. Please consider wearing a respirator.
What was you wire & gas mix when fixing this? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Was just wondering if the part you was welding on was hi strength steel or just mild steel, since it’s a high stress point. Hope you got it in written you are not responsible if it breaks and someone is hurt or killed
The material is T1 steel.
Cool was just wondering,weld on brother love watch field welders doing their thing, may the arc flash happen to others lol.
Sounds like lack of inspection and Maintenace is the cause. If they checked over those pins probably would of found that crack beforehand. Should be standard to check over all that on reg basis or if its been unused for a time before use.
Would it have been possible to have hammered the hook tighter so the pin was a tad bit too tight, complete your welding and just line bored the clearances tight?
Yes but not worth that effort for a temporary fix.
@@OFW I thought about that as well. Not worth time and effort for such a short term fix. Now if they were hauling cross country…then use trains I imagine.
Top job , what wire did you use
