Replacing BROKEN Eye & Repair CRACKED Cylinder for D10 Dozer | Machining, Welding, Milling

Metallica level

45 mins seriously? 5 mins worth.

Quite a difference from the videos we see from India doing something similar, with workers dressed in what look like pyjamas and open toe flip flops sitting on the floor, with no heath and safety in sight

Thanks Curtis, love watching this shit getting done properly by somebody & whilst being hungover 😅 Best part for me was explaining that the flame cutting hardens the material so you use the heavy duty inserts on the lathe to get through that part. Has that engineering finesse only hands on work will teach you.

I thought I had a mig welder like that, but it turned out to be a Karcher washer.

you’re a beast on the stick welder mate

Who could you not use some kind of xray machine or sonar device to check how deep those cracks are instead of grinding so deep , because in the process of welding new sresses are introduced into the metal and also the metal composition of the weld being different also introduce new stress in terms of expansion and contraction of different material

Excellent program truly enjoyed this magnificent repair!

Absolutely awesome video! Loved how the camera angles showed the work being done. Master class in machining!

Great job everyone.

A tip for Karen... when you speed up the video put a counter for us to know how mutch time passed... (just saing) dificult stuff...

All that Lathe work, A truckload of welding, Boring I find it hard to believe that all of that was just 1day of work!! it's amazing nonetheless. Being able to do so much all by yourself!

Great Video
Loved every moment of it..

I’ve asked you before……..what Australian welding qualifications do you hold?

What a great dog.

Thank you for showing the preheat of the welding fill area. I see so many that do not preheat and don't realize the need or future if they don't.

A beautifully made video, show casing truly impressive skill.
Thanks, I enjoyed.

I was about to have a complete melt down and ask how you werent using any kind of coolant/lubricant when cutting the broken eye off lmfao then you turned the the water on

素晴らしい技術ですね👍

HELL YEAH Barbie Girl & Boy .THANK YOU . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

What a beautiful job, Curtis! 👍

things i never noticed on the first go around. the blue milk crate. lol

Why do your welds have slag? Is it the particular wire you’re using that causes it?

Never welded with that rod before comparable to what other rod

Bloopers 😂

You are the best👍😎

I know this comment is two years late, but I'm impressed that you took the extra effort to save your customer a lot of money. I imagine many shops would simply have replaced the barrel end and passed the cost on to the customer.

Olá faço parte da mesma profissão adoro os seus vídeos aprendo muito valeu fica de boa

Nice job, but what caused the original part to break like that?

why are not do END-PT?

So addicted to this channel. Your videos are always so well done - you're a good team.

My dad purchased an old machine from 1950 I think it was, so precise. Its insane these machinery tools. Love the video!!

If the cracks went all the way through, it would be visible from the inside?

Kudos. you are one hell of a machinist and welder...love your vids.......

Pure welding porn ❤❤❤❤

First pass (root)was on the safe side , not that that is a bad thing.
Then the hard pawn starts .😂😂

I love it when people understand their craft like you.
Man do i miss my uncle , he would have loved this as much as i do.😊

And that is the biggest compliment I can give, that man was a welding wierdo❤❤.

Watching this is like watching him 😊

Ps he had aprox 50 years of experience

Nice to see someone who uses the whole rod!

I don’t understand why it would fail if the crack goes all the way through? Wouldn’t you just grind it out and weld it up!?

The broken eye collection is incredible...!

Incroyable toutes ses maitrises!

dont think i would of used a wire feed flux core for that, and if i did id use a wire brush to clean off the slag, no doubt there is porosity and inclusions in those welds now.

Why did you not add the shroud surrounding the grease port? Without the shroud the bolt is more likely to take damage and be snapped off?

Greetings from the UK. Absolutely superb, enjoyed watching very much. From failure mode analysis through every process to completed repair. Excellent filming and great camera shots. I take my hat off to you sir.

His work is art !!!

Kertus does not go into town Friday night and get into trouble. He keeps his nose to the grinde stone!.

You´ve got a good workshop well equipped , clean and tidy . Welding , machining , you´re the man machine , greetins from spain , great job
