Keep the videos coming mate, as a machine technician it's good to see real life jobs getting done, not some pretty boy welding 2 nice bits of plate on a bench making mig look like tig. 👍 keep it up champion! loving it from Australia 🇦🇺
Very nice job as alway's !! That's the welds that should been on it from the start but.....if there welds would not have broke we would not have had this video !! 👍👍Top shelf work all the way !!
Speaking for myself, engineering videos are not enhanced with added music. It's the hiss, crackle, buzz, pound &c that makes the music. If I wanted music, I'd go to a music channel. That was a slick piece of repair work, Alistair, well worth watching. Col, NZ.
Lovely stuff Allistair, thanks for sharing buddy 👍the amount of force needed to wreck that must have been incredible, all that for the cows dinner eh lol
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. One of my favourites that i subscribe to. You have large machinery. Country events. And industrial scale welding projects. What isn't to like. Good luck getting to the 100K subscribers.
Thanks Allistair. Enjoyed your technical voice over. Like the wire thickness. Weld prep . Good for us to learn when you tell us why you do things a certain way. Waiting for another big excavator boom or dipper repair👍🚜
Great work! You know, it's so easy to forget at how the bulk of the repair job in these machinery welding scenarios is the actual prep work ahead of the final welding. He said a day of work here, and probably the actual timing of the finished welding was probably 10% of the day if even. The rest was all the other "not so glamourous" cleanup, measurement, prep and the manipulation of the thing to the gouger table, press, welding table and fitting up in the end. It's probably what, 200kg? Not exactly something you just pick up and move it on a whim to your moment's preferences. Again, great work showcasing all the other ins and outs leading up to and after the welding performance. :)
Honest job by an Honest man in a Honest effort doing it right the 1st time as usual. If only people would look after their tools @ the 1st sign of trouble ... but then we wouldn't have the pleasure of seeing your work ya ?? Thank You Allistairc123.
People are paying less and less attention to looking after their equipment these days. People using equipment without checking it before use or doing daily service tasks like greasing the service nipples. I could go on.
Don't worry about this video's length, the job was time critical, as the cows needed their food server back... 😄 Talking over the timelapse is nice, gives you some space to explain things, with live audio it is quite difficult, because it's always loud in your shop and you need to switch over focus from work to talk, I imagine that could be difficult... Thx for showing, nice work! 👍👍👍
My educated guess on why it broke is traveling too fast loaded (large bale of hay) over rough terrain. Causing the load to bounce resulting in a 1 ton bale of hay to develope ten ton of weight with each bounce. I've had to repair many breaks just like this for my neighbors. I've never had to repair my equipment that is the same as theirs, we all travel tge same road except they run twice as fast as I do.
Hi Alister 😊 thanks for another interesting video mate, great repair, your welds are far more upto the job than the originals ,which looked only minimal to say the least. The bean counters winning on the production line no doubt,lol. Cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, I look forward to the next one, Stuart UK.
Good looking repair... when you zoomed into the broken piece, I thought 'carnage' two seconds before you said it! Very satisfying to see a job done right. I'm not a fan of music in videos, the voice-over suits me just fine... I'd rather hear industrial sounds than someone's idea of what goes for music.
Nice job Allistair, I had to weld one up a month ago twisted...... All the farmers attachments were also twisted, he insisted on it ! It's a strange job sometimes.
Nice overview. I enjoyed it! I am subscribed. I like to play my own music in the background so it works out for me to not have clashing music in the time-lapse.
As always Alistair someone buggered that pretty good . Great video great explanation , not everything is a simple clean up and weld up as this shows it's got a few bent bits . Thanks for taking time to grab the footage and I guess the cows are really gonna be happy now to get fed . Cheers
Getting awfully close to that 100 K Alistair. I generally prefer to hear what you have to say about the job over listening to music. Mark from Melbourne Australia
Going to bet it will be back, just not with that breaking, but, because the welds are now stronger than the original, there will be a boom broken instead.
hey mate. greetings from your favourite far away Island I know you've found the whole background music thing to be a bit fraught - especially considering some people seem to think it's fine to voice an opinion in the comment box that they'd probably consider a little rude to say to somebody's face. I never will understand that peculiar contradiction in people... anyway, I wanted to let you know in the course of time, I've stayed with your channel because of the welding and fabrication work you do - and the tractor porn obviously. initially though it was your choice of music that grabbed me I really dig on that filthy lo-fi industrial synth stuff you've paired with some of your more lengthy welding marathons in the past. particularly I recall that massive Lefort metal shear you spent days inside of. lots of good tunes there. I really miss it... good video. I'm hoping some positive reinforcement will help you to keep your RU-vid fire smouldering... 👍👍👍
Looks likt the old weld did not stick in the thick material, they need a preheat or as you have done gouging space for a bigger weld. These welds will last forever.
The real question to be asked? What quality of steel was used in the first place? The depth of the welds was obviously weak in the first place,.The level of overall damage was indicative of flexing steel being overloaded. Your work will be better than original, but will it need to be fixed again?
I suspect that it comes down to CAD programs and Finite Analysis of the required welds. Neither of which make allowances for rough and tumble machine operators.
