Can we repair it without destroying the torsion suspension? 

Surprising this guy had a shop and so much equipment and yet hired out the repair.

Thanks for all the Tips Anthony I need to put a smaller version of this exact axle on a trailer soon and this helped me a lot

Great repair video!!

When ya think it's just 1 crack. It turns out 1 side is busted to hell, and the other isn't much better.This is a prime example and I wish more people understood that it's never just as easy as "it'll only take 10min. Just put a little weld on it".

Hi 👋. Northern Michigan here. I didn't know that about the axle. The rubber bushing inside that axle...that is. You're teaching more than just the young man next to ya. Hats off to ya friend. Keep up the great work!

Did a great job on bending both side with 1 wallop .. good job you was about to repair , does go to show sometimes its actually worse than first thought . And yup great to be able to have the facilities at hand as some say sometimes it's just easier to out source the work if you just can't do it yourself . Could be time frame or your guy is not available to do the repair . Thanks for sharing the video Anthony

I respect you so much Anthony because you share everything but I can hear from the machine your wire feed speed was too low lol it’s okay most of us can’t touch your stick welding because you are one of the goats

Well I am not a welder the best I am as a welder's assistant I can grind A mean bevel but honestly I never wanted to be a welder I could run the daylights out of a torch several years ago but regardless you are good and you are willing to teach 16:26

Great video looked like a right proper mess there all cracked up must of been some impact. Great work as all ways👍👍

Ive owned a trailer a trailer shop for 21 years. That torsion axel is bent on the inner solid square bar probably. It’ll start eating tires soon enough. There is a system used to check alignment that I doubt was used.

Got a boat trailer a while back with a drop torsion axle on it. I went to do some mods on the axle and guard mounts to allow me to fit larger tyres and I found some dodgy brothers repairs had been done on it, the bar holding the stub axle to the main axle had been replaced with just simple box section steel, and it was also badly rusted to boot. I had a set of springs and hangers in the spares bin, so I just got rid of it and replaced it with a normal spring mounted drop axle.

The repair you did to this axle is probably better the the new axle that he ordered.

You make me want to fix something 😊

I like the calendar on the welder👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Did one of these recently, almost the exact same failure. Was much easier to pull the axle tho it was bolted on.

I would of definitely dropped that axle aswell. Pretty cool tool

Nicely dine, Anthony! What wire and gas? Would flux core do a fine job on that trailer repair?

Great video I just wanted to make a suggestion. When I have something heavy to grind off and I need it done quick I use a 3m brand cuboid disc we use them on pipe all the time and they make quick work of grinding which I hate. Just a pondering you may want to try. Keep on burnin!!

What u want to do is run water on them or use wet rags. There's four rubber cords in that axle that you don't want to hurt

That was neat. I'm wondering what gas you're running, I was hearing the MIG trying to go into spray transfer, but it can't hold it.

I'd say that trailer has been arount for a while with the drums rusted through in places.

Hey Anthony, Jose from Puerto Rico. Pretty wild fix man! I wanted to ask you where can I get replacement shielding lenses for that Clearmaxx grinding mask you used in this video? I have the exact same one you were using.

Man a lift would’ve made this job a whole lot easier but I love how you attacked it as is and demonstrated how it would be in a real life setting. Meaning that in the real world it would’ve been done on the side of a road or a parking lot with minimal tools. You and I C Weld be turning out more welders than schools 😂. J/k but you guys show and teach what a text book can’t. Keep up the great work brother! 🤘🏾 #hooddown #up10

Thought that axle should be bolted onto chassis so it can easily be replaced

Mma the goat 💯🔥👨🏾‍🏭

I have this kind of repair alot on horse trailers

Dude has the equipment to build skyscrapers and had to hire a 3rd party for the labor.

Nice job. Haha, you crack me up everytime I hear that last line! Stay safe man. PS, I like your old intro music, miss that

Hey Anthony what is that little level thing ,I don’t see any link

Yo as a guy who does the same kind of shit on the daily brake wires dont matter they will ground either way Aslo if you take the hub caps off the spindles have centers you can measure off of too make sure the axles are squared to each other

Nicely done…sorry for the typo.

What I meant to ask is if a job has a metal you need for your own project can you request that metal or gas in exchange for a paycheck? Or a payment?

Best looking thing in that shop was the blonde.

How do you like the new Optrel helmet?

We need a come weld with Anthony Contest

look at this @6:11

love it

got any tips on uphill? i can make a 7018 look okish and be confident in the strength, but with mig solid wire especially on my root i cant get that shit to sink flat. humps up in the middle so damn bad, sags out and wont burn into the sides of my triangle or weave. ive gone from stupid cold to retardedly hot and everywhere in between and cant get that shit right. its driving me nuts. thanks

How do you like magnetic 90°s? You ever use them?

Heyy bro watching for a long time now great work you do Am from Guyana 🇬🇾 watching u helping me out a lot

An exercise in how an apparently fix-in-place job becomes a whole day's worth of F'ing around. Nice job of it though and that bracket assy remake is a sturdy MF - nice fab with that too!

Hey Anthony how you like that badlands jack?

MMA what up brotha, I've been running an onsite and offsite welding outfit for a few years. I'm blessed, no complaints. Here in southeast Missouri we run river jets. Alot of aluminum repair. I've always built up equipment mainly for intentions of mobility. Ran off my miller 400 pro. Came across a much younger version of ol boy melting metal Anthony From years back. Long story short. Thanks for the video. Been a follower since the beginning. My spoolmate 30a and wc-24 controller along with my savings appreciates you. Awesome to see you surfacing so strongly. Ill end with a qoute of mine. "If woman don't find ya handsome they should at least find ya handy"

I love MIG welding the old stuff a little bit harder to use because you get cold lap especially when you're just tacking those new inverters have inductance control you can set the inductance where it Heats it right up right now virtually no cold lap with the new stuff but I do love me some Miller 252 they're good welders but I do realize in your situation you couldn't get it too hot because of the dampener inside the axle I do not like those I have burned a few of those up good job though

that trailer has seen some shit

Why not use stick? Seems like less hassle and I also just really hate mig welding.

i saw a crack you didnt weld.

I prefer using a torch myself. I just seem to have more control.

what do you recommend for us young guys to get into the industry? ive been attempting to find a welding job for the last year or so and it seems incredibly hard to get into. ive got certifications, just can't get the calls back.

That's not going anywhere👊 he's got a nice shop, probably 22 more jack stands around you could put under there😂

How do you keep from being liable? If later on that axle comes off even if the owner hit a curb again and kills somebody?

Great video!! How the hell did they crack both axle and the left side broke free. thats a left hand turn all day.. had to be a medium divider or a concrete barrier..

Do you have crazy insurance? My company just left California and apparently most of them have as well. Anything to do with flames and they're out! It took me a week of screening calls and online bullshit to get turned down at every turn. They specifically said no auto work. I got a year policy for structural steel erection, and welding, including marine work for 3800 a year, but they all are clear that I can't weld on anything automotive. I will, but not insured for it apparently. Any thoughts? I know that everyone in Cali is ue happy and I should probably just sell the house and buy or build a nice shopartment somewhere else, but have you ever been to Santa Cruz? I've traveled and lived all over, but I always end up back here.

U like that bad land jack?

Looks like the drum cracked as well.

😎👍

Wires don’t matter which is which. It’s 12v.

If a job pays $ can you request a ¢ instead or can you get paid in £ If you provide a $ weld to you get ¢ in returns if you provide £¢€¥with " do you get * as a bonus or is this the terminology (catching a body)?

Another awesome job. You should invest in a GoPro. Im down to donate $100 👍👍💪💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘🤘

I would have flipped over if possible. U build them upside down

bump

don't blame the process .. blame the preparation process...
