Well, he should have "washed" that crack out instead of cutting such a gap in it. He left a lot of slag on the inside. There is no need for the backing strap. It will crack again. The welds were way too cold, and he should have diamond plated it. I could say a lot more. I've been repairing cheap welds all my life. I learned how to repair broken steel from my dad, who was the best. It will fool a new buyer, though. Well, as long as he doesn't use it. LOL Oh, I'm 68 years old, and I started welding when I was 12.
Yip... that inside crap is worthless unless someone needs that to fill the gap in their welding skill. That will be broken again. And that little welder is like my little Harbor freight 225 stick. It welds fine when you aren't running vertical and you can run high amps, but it struggles to restart and hold an arc under 120 amps. Whereas my Lincoln Idealarc 250 and my Miller Bobcat 250 will keep a 5/32 burning nice under 100 amps. Someone in another comment was bragging on that little welder, but I could see that he was slapping and pulling long arcs to keep it lit. He welds decent, a quality welder would blow his mind.
I would have plated it too. I've put backing plates in the same way except you don't need to cut a hole in it. Tack a welding rod on it , bend it and then straighten it back out once inside the frame.
Good prep work, using a backing-strap was a great choice to use. But any experienced welder knows welding stringer beads are stronger than weaving. Also the machine is not hot enough for the job. It is what it is, those are the facts in real life.
An interesting repair. Repair being the important word. That will crack again without doubt. What is more important is why did it crack in the first place? Crap steel perhaps?
I wonder what the Australian guy will say about this pfff! Run a mile! 😅. It's pretty impressive what's been done here going to the effort to make the most tidy job BUT whether it'll last or be as strong is the importance here.
Burn it in there. Nice work with very little equipment. I know guys that would need the boom taken out to weld on it the. It would take them 3 days to weld it

Good vertical welding from the bottom up but I would have also put a plate on it
My thoughts also

Good enough for jungle work
I also would have plated it. Nothing worse than having to do it all over again. Great job and workmanship though

Such steady hands with the torch there.
Yeah I was thinking the same especially since he has both hands so far back on the burning torch
Great job using what you had. Ive used a plate on a similar type of situation.
It will hold just fine nice work
Good job
I doubt it's gonna hold. 😂
Nice work man
Wee will crack again 😂😂
👌👍

That will crack again without doubt. What is more important is why did it crack in the first place?
Crap steel perhaps?
Temporary fix.
It’ll crack again.
Good job 👌
No,it's not

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
For sale: 1 Sumitomo excavator good working condition.
Next to fix will be that hose from not shielding it
Nice job! Is the penetration sufficient with the small welder? The welder must have been at maximum amperage? Thank you!🇺🇸
20,30 bravissimo
Using that tiny welder for 1/2 steel?
It's 12 mm steel.
@@willysnowmanthat’s half inch…. Try to keep up
@@kr6370 ok 1/2 wit
@@willysnowman you’re the idiot who needed to point out the obvious or didn’t know yourself.
How many amps do you think you need for a 1/8" rod
Mechanic Steve should know that is called the Dipper, not the boom.
Great job!😊

The Aussie blokes would truck in a spare and truck the cracked part to the shop for either melt it down or cut repair then XRAY it
Thats just a temporary fix it won't last.
