REPAIRING DAMAGED LOADER BUCKET - ITS BAD! - WELDING REPAIR 

I need a 9" grinder

@@mcfwelding I have lots of grinders . I use cutting torches before any thing .I will even burn holes instead of a drill them . And I hate slitting disk . Use when I have to .

Ha, you got that right

He digged it

Get after it!

Now that you will weld there tell him you want a raise $$$$

This bucket will hold up just fine with what I did

Great

This is a welding channel though ?

Thanks Paul

The Trifecta

consider it weld prep

I'll talk about it in a future vid

Saw it right off.

Thought about the switch but I don't use it alot so I already have the tanks

@@mcfwelding I have 2 sets of torches oxy acetylene and oxy propane . I also have a hypertherm powermax 85 . Yes my 36 inch demolition torch is not only cheaper as price to fill the tanks but uses less fuel than my oxy acetylene torch almost as cheap as plasma , By the way My acetylene torch is the same as the one in the vid I believe it is a smith cut quality is no different between plasma and oxy fuel . Except on sheet metal then plasma but yea stay with oxy acetylene much more versatile and better for brazing

easy removal later whenits worn down, but i am going to weld the whole thing this winter

Jersey!

It's lifted some heavy stuff and still holding so....

Nope, bucket sees about 10 hours of use a year. if its a problem down the road i will add some for him

Little late to the party here, but they make “cheater” lenses that go behind your shaded lens. They act like reading glasses, and all the old boys I work with use them. If you can’t see your puddle, that might be a worthwhile $10 investment

@@joelschmaltz8915 I use them to . Get glass the plastic cheaters suck . Also have no Idea why but my speedglass seems to help

@@huckstirred7112 I agree, the plastic ones are only good to test them out and see if you want to spend money on a glass one. Switching to the speefglas also helped a ton for me as

@@joelschmaltz8915 I agree I use a 1.75 cheater The speedglass is incredible

All in good fun Flo-rida

case of beer goes a long way

If we need them down the road, we will add them

sure is

Right on! i sub'd to you too i like your channel

.035 wire and the cutting edge was 1/2" i believe

I agree, I will be fully welding it for him in spring time

Hey now , no need to be insulting . He is obviously not a pro . So if you are lend friendly advice and don't be condescending about it . His welds were ok his cutting was ok . He should have squared the bottom of the bucket using bottle jacks and 4x4s and replaced only 6 inches of the floor with AR 500 plate with 2x2 quarter inch thick angle to tie the sides and the bottom together and triangles with 3 inch legs to fit the back of the bucket . Then cut holes for a bolt in cutting edge so he can swap it out for a tooth bar if needed . and small 2 inch circles of hard face about 2 inches or so apart . I am self employed and done many buckets but I am at 50 years old still learning and will never be an expert

Thanks man, I really appreciate it

1/4"

i think my buddy ordered it online, or a local tractor store should have them

Pistol grip is better. Can get them from northern tool even.

@@motoz3939 thanks for the heads up

Mine is from Harbour freight it's probably close to 5 years old now

@@mcfwelding had a few myself over the years. I prefer the pistol grip one though. Either way one of the best tools for a mobile welder with air. That and an air chisel really.

Sure

Glad you like!

could cut with either, that was just easier at the moment

lol not a bad idea

Thanks rudy appreciate it

Me too 🤜🏼🤛🏻

I guess you don't use tractors to build flat pads and fix driveways that often then

@@mcfwelding he also probably charges extra for those welds 🤣

He did buy the metal and gave me some $$ for my c25 gas

thats the theroy

Not sure, i usually leave that one now in the car for work so i use the tiger hoods. I am growing more fond of the tiger hood than the pipeliner these days

@@mcfwelding which one is lighter? Also could you do a detailed review on the pipeliner?

possibly

Side panel could have been warped as well after being but out

Not sure I didn't even think of that

It's all easy with practice

Yeah cleaning those nasty buckets n nasty oil residue not good for the lungs 🫁. You got to charge more than a case of beer fam at least good 300 but they put in the material.

Safety squints when using a needle scaler as well my man! That’s coming from a man that had to undergo 7 eye surgeries because of a wire from a wire wheel flying up under my safety squints!

@@clintonhanson On more than several occasions my hands were pierced by same. I don't play when it comes to wire wheels.

Case of beer from my best friend is all I need.

About 7 hours

@@mcfwelding hi im looking for welding job.this is my hobby but i want to welding job im at Lyndhurst NJ..Can you help me about welding job?

​@@mcfwelding damn slow af

i go over it in other videos

You’ve could’ve

Nope mild steel. Bucket gets about 10 hours a year on it so it will last a long time

Friendly suggestions, instead of trimming new bottom plate ,that little amount of overhang will actually enhance the corner wear life. Also you responded the cutting edge was mild steel ,you bought it you should know what you bought,,but by the spark pattern from cutting the edge ro length it looked like high carbon steel and who put the tapered edge on the cutting edge?. You might want to extend future cutting edges and build corners out farther to increase bucket cap. and extend cutting edge life. Otherwise great job ,hope you vote pro 2A !!!

You probably used leftover cutting edge for corner pieces,and wear plates on bottom like the original!!

​@mcfwelding does not matter how often it gets used..to it right way first..only a hack that doesn't know what they are doing would put any less then the proper way on their ..not mild steel on it man come on..do it right

?

that is just plain silly

That’s their fault they shouldn’t look

@@alandonrashall55 By that logic shooting in the street is fine too as you shouldn't walk in front of bullets.

@@mikefiatx19 ok but people don’t go outside and stare at the sun either it’s the same logic

not sure what this means but ok i will haha
