Attention to detail. That's why I assume that you are successful! I like that your customer is concerned with how his/her equipment looks. Got to stay on top of it. Looked great, nice work. Keep it up.
I appreciate your pride in your work and attention to detail. The amount of that work one puts into repairing a painted bumper on a +20 ton tractor says a lot about their integrity. You are a credit to your profession.
A bit of filler compound would be cheaper, tho. Has to last only until sold ;-D Welding a hook to it and pulling the dents out, with another bulldozer/excavator, while heating the metal with oxyacetylene, would be the easiest, good solution, IMO.
This customer must want to send these machine to auction. Maybe the one with the crack front was the only one in need for repair to prevent rust. That's a great job as usual!
Well done on your informative videos. I especially appreciate your vocal delivery: steady easy voice. Not screeching or loud. No four-letter words too. Also thank-you for not having annoying background music. You explain why you are doing the welds in a certain way. You truly have mastered your craft. Many thanks. I will continue watching your videos.
I really love you field guys, you’re used to working by yourself so you kinda look at jobs differently and I had not seen the wire used for the angle development, that was very simple but very clever. I’ve said it before in other jobs you’ve done that you take great pride in your work, both structurally and visually, something you should be very proud of young man as it’s a credit to your skill.
I am glad you expose air tank this biggest design cat problems because the rock and hard dirt or stuck bad angle.i saw before bent very bad.good repair and video.calgary,alberta.canada
You do great work! Im sure you dont need me to tell you that, you already know 😊 Its nice to see a company taking care of their equipment. Some companies wouldn't be bothered to fix stuff like that.
Greg, You truly are a master!! I really appreciate the love you give to each and every job you do!! I sure wish you were closer to Petaluma, I’d sure love to learn from you!! Great videos, Pal!! If you ever come this way, look me up and I’ll show you my equipment, and get some ideas from you!! Thanks again, Vic!!
More like the equipment is headed to auction or is a lease turn in. You put those scrapers back to work and those bumpers will be dented again in just a few days. I've fixed quite a few in my days. That goes for the push block on the rear also.
Greg, You are an incredibly, Responsible, Professional Man!! I am so amazed at your abilities, each and every job, excellent results!! Thanks so much, as always, Vic!!
You do fine work Sir. As a fabricator and engineer, I find only the true experts to learn from. You are a master craftsman and I thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
When doing compound angles like that they sell something called an angle bevel, or T-bevel, you set one edge up and then you can move and lock the over edge or “arm” on a hinge and it’ll take your angles to convert over to your workpiece, most have a nice handy square edge. Great investment for this kind of work. Love the content
Superb work, as usual! I'm always picking up very useful tips and tricks watching such experts work their magic. One thing is certain, I'm getting a plasma cutter!
Hey Greg, thanks for these videos, this is one of my favorite new YT channels. Learning about big equipment, fabrication, techniques, and engineering in general. You’ve got a great way of explaining things and a no BS attitude (no “like and subscribe” just let quality speak for itself)
Great tip on putting on plenty of weld before you start the blending. I once saw a guy who was trying to save on the blending spend literally hours welding in the low spots and regrinding. Still came out looking like…., well, you know.
You made making those angles easy, I am not a fabricator just weld and repair things on the ranch, but dang angles are a pain for me. Enjoy watching your videos.
I can't help but comment about how whoever drives these machines could care less about how they abuse them. If these people had buy these machines , if they would still beat the heck out them the way they do. Can't get over the give a s**t less attitude they have. Great job and video. I like watching you work, you take pride in a job well done.
I work industrial Maintenance, and went to school for tool and die machining. I have recently learned to mig and I absolutely love this channel it mixes the finesse of metal working with the brute of big machinery. On my days off I spend at least two hours watching your videos a day. Please don't ever stop making these videos their informative and very much enjoyable to watch. Maybe someday I'll get to have the opportunity to step into your line of work. In the future would you make some instructional videos or tips and tricks that work with you personally? I'm sure many would enjoy seeing that. Thanks again for the videos and great work!
Good work with that plasma torch amazing that you can keep it a good distance away and still take off layers of metal never seen one with that ability usually have to keep them pretty close to do anything and if it’s for April fools it’s vinegar otherwise for P&O steel it’s Diluted hydrochloric acid bath used to work with coils Continued success Fabrizio
I've been watching your videos for a while I just subscribed. I watch because you take such pride in what you do and that's rare today I'm a retired hard rock miner Northern Ontario.
Looks as good as factory. If I was an owner dunno if I would care aboutr those repairs. But those Cali boys move some earth and know there is some pride there.
I love your attention to details especially when it comes to protection and containment like covering those hydraulic cylinders that weren't really in the welding area... better safe than sorry. Its also great how you fix all the little stuff that I'm sure wasn't in your original bid kind of like your working on your own equipment.
I happen to just come across this video of you. As John said I’m surprised they would bother on those bumpers. Your work is detailed and excellent. Like you I had a friend that was a perfectionist and his welds were like artwork. I think 55k people will reaffirm your work and detail. Keep up the pride,pace and work ethic. Now a days it’s in short supply.
A few months ago I had the opportunity to be trained on a 613 and 623. In the beginning I thought the 13 was awesome to drive hahaha...man the 23 when I moved up to that one drove like a Cadillac 😂😂. Hated being bounced out of the seat every 2 minutes though. Our boss wanted 15 loads an hour. Not hard to hit actually after a little practice. But fk driving these machines. Nice work welder
Awesome job and I’ve learned a few things from ya since you started making videos. I appreciate it . Thank you for sharing your experience and your work with us. 🎉
I never learned the push pull technique on these scrapers, looks fun though and it has to be mentally exhausting timing all the controls on Q allowing for a seamless movement during the cut. Takes practice for sure. Good Channel welder and your work speaks for itself.
You can't say you know for a fact the panel was never changed because of the SN because when I change anything with a SN on it I punch the SN back in the panel it's a pet peeve of mine kinda like how you measure the welds and spacing of them I like to keep everything as close to OEM as possible. Great video the job turned out nice.
It’s great to see the pride you take in your work! and the perfection that you thrive for your eye for perfection and detail is amazing! You do awesome work and it’s a pleasure watching your videos !excellent video! keep up the great work!👍🏼🤩🫡
Is there any particular reason to do these cosmetic repairs like this? Seems like a lot of work to remove some dents on a machine that will get dented again in a few months.
@@gradywray5391 Kinda borderline to charge for this damage on a rental, but then again they ran into a bit more than a marshmallow to bend this. Either way, it helps pay for welding jobs...
