The Truck Front Axle Was Broken But Mechanic Not Confused And Put New Life in it by Strong Repaired #brokentruckfrontaxle #mechanicnotconfused #strongrepairedandputnewlife #pkprocess
Glad to see they have a perfect flat and level concrete floor parallel to the lathe bed, and a helper hand to start the lathe spindle to turn. Also a internal crack that never gets welded up
The real issue would be the unknown alloy of the rod. The repair of the Bore with clearly visible defects undercutting and contamination of weld. Unterminated cracks All hidden by a insert made of again unknown alloy. The end result is a heavily compromised Pin bore much thinner than original with many defects. This is a good population control device as I am sure many pedestrians will die when this fails the second time.
The machinist is really professional. His shop is clean, his tooling is good, he actually owns a caliper. I would've rather the welder actually penetrate all the cracks.
I'm a Master welder Fabricator and have had too weld and line bore and reface out in the field for heavy equipment. And I would never trust that on my vehicle due too the crappy welding. Sorry but it's the truth
NOT SAFE! This should have been v-cut before welding... but since it wasn't, there's NO way they got full penetration and as such, the structural integrity of that part is dangerously compromised! Shitty welding aside, the actual machining was interesting, I actually liked how you used the tool head to hold the frame in position while line boring, the caster was a novel idea, not something I would use, but novel. I would have preferred a parallel steel rail and perhaps something like a skateboard wheel runner; It would be a Macguyver, but I would trust the accuracy more than rather than that crappy old caster.
Perhaps on something heavier, but not on this. While I liked the line boring trick, I would have preferred to see the whole section replaced and properly bored out
I don't know about that weld steregnth with all that pressure there. As much as l hate to use this word,,, assume you've done this before an can get more mileage out of the truck. So ingenious way to repair, l believe ld replace instead on that large truck if at all possible. That's easy for me to say l guess.
I think they do believe too much on a good luck ! Dangerous work, no heat treatment after all 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 Alignment ?? No jigs no special material!! They are brave 👏👏
" Do you think those welds will hold ? " , "oh YES, when I weld with my eyes closed it gets full penetration ", " Are you sure ? ", " I bet your life on it !!, I guarantee my work and you will NEVER need to come back "
Perfect example of lack of maintenance. Do not grease king pin, let bushings wear out, hammer marks from wear and tear and eventually bang. See how much money was saved on servicing. Grease costs a fortune. How much loss of work while it’s being repaired and of course the rest of the components are not damage, brake lines brakes disks/hubs. Tyre wear would have been massive. And of course did it cause an accident?
He gave the repair the thumbs 👍... so good to go, tail light warranty twenty twenty! Twenty seconds or twenty feet, which ever comes first 🤐👌 Seriously it'll probably be fine India/Pakistan roads are filled with these types of vehicles.
Aquí en Venezuela a pesar de la situación,ese pieza la compraría nueva,no se pondría en peligro a nadie reparando y montandola en el camión.y usan pura soldadura 6013, aquí usaríamos 7018 que es de impacto.
Nur außen komplett geschweißt und innen nur teilweise und alles ohne Abschrägung. Also sehr wahrscheinlich keine komplette Durchschweißung und das eingepresste Rohr dient auch nur der Lagerpassung, trägt aber nichts zur Stabilität bei. Besser wäre da gewesen, das Rohr oben und unten im 45° Winkel anzuschrägen und es dann oben und unten anzuschweißen.
They appear to be accomplished machinists and I certainly understand the "You gotta do what you gotta do mentality" (especially in a place where parts availability my be difficult) but the truth is, all repairs like this literally endanger the lives of every motorist and every pedestrian on or near the roadway. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This is the perfect example of that old saying.
"ll repairs like this literally endanger the lives of every motorist and every pedestrian on or near the roadway. " You are getting rather carried away there. The risk is... that the wheel falls off. Which isn't much of a risk compared with crowded roads, overloaded trucks and all the rest. In Pakistan, that you can, means you do. Your saying assumes there is an option to not.
At about 7:30 one guy was holding the ground and his other hand was on the castor, and the other guy started the arc to begin to weld……..dodged a bullet there……
Not for a wheelbarrow to be used in the backyard, but for a heavy truck to run on low grade highways. Could snap again anytime; a small bump or dip would do.
@@boomerang379 You are right Mr Boomerang, they may not have access to the proper equipment but surely common sense should prevail and not proceed with a potentially dangerous repair. There is an option to tell the client that they would have to source a used part. It may cost more but how much is a Human life worth?
@@peterantonic6923 Seriously what planet are you on? Do you think people in workshops like this have the luxury of saying 'Oh well Ahmed, I could do the job but it is potentially dangerous so on this occasion, sorry but no can do'? And what is wrong with the repair anyway? In this vid the bottom of the steering knuckle is worn and oversize and shows movement at the bottom of the kingpin. BUT, that part was *not brought in with the job*, was it? This video is about the repair of the end of the axle. Meantime, grow up and get real about the world.
@alexanderSydneyOz Hey Alex, you might think this repair is safe and sound on your planet, but here on planet Earth this is considered as an unsafe and unacceptable repair. But please, don’t just take my word for it just visit some reputable mechanical workshops or a couple of licensing centres and ask them what they think. No matter in which country the vehicle is in the facts remain the same, this repair is unsafe and unacceptable. Think for a moment, how would you feel if someone reading your comments decides to do a questionable repair like this on their vehicle and subsequently was involved in an accident with one of your family members causing them to lose their life? She’ll be right and close enough is good enough just doesn’t cut it, does it ????
