Hi there I work on these machines only hydraulic side but just to see what work has been done to maintain these machines is awesome to watch. This the stuff they won't teach. So much to learn. Thanks for the video
Love your format ,extensive explanation and all work shown is in fast forward. Obviously the best way to watch your work and catch all the details not to mention your smooth and steady camera work . No seasickness pills needed here.
EXCELLENT JOB !!!! .......... Very nice of them to power wash it and park on concrete for you to work on........ keep up the great work. I love watching these videos.
When you used the Dog Clamp and Wedge to persuade the new skin to lie flush for welding I was reminded of the old style ships hatches. They used to have beams across the hatch, removable of course, and wooden hatch boards laid across the beams. Then tarpaulin covers were placed onto the hatch boards to provide water protection. Not just one but several tarpaulins, did the newest or oldest go on top, several schools of thought about that of course. At the sides the tarpaulin was neatly folded and secured at regular intervals with a sort of dog clamp and wooden wedge about nine inches long. To try and protect the tarpaulin from hammer blows the wedge was placed with the long side against the tarpaulin so the short side was angled off a little and the hammer did not need to contact the cloth. I guess with metal you are not concerned by the potential for wear but it does make striking the wedge a little easier. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos.
So basically, we’re gonna rebuild half the grader. So, yeah. Let’s get started. 😂😂 That’s a staggering amount of work. Incredible. Edit: scraper, not grader. My little boys would be aghast at getting those mixed up.
Great videos, I'm a young guy not starting out in welding and fab but new to owning my own business at it, I have a Iove for sweet welding / service trucks and in your old vids I saw the new ram, in this one an awesome big truck , love to see you make a video on your trucks.
@@OFW can't wait mines just a one ton dodge but it looks pretty good and I have alot of the same equipment you show in your videos, I'm in the process of obtaining a line boring set up, that's the direction I really want my business to go, I grew up in a machine shop so I know that trade and I also usto line bore where I worked before going ony own, any advice on that area ?
@@adambrewer4400 if you don’t have any line boring equipment yet I would suggest getting the bets you can afford. I sold all my BRS stuff and went to Climax. There will be another line boring video coming up.
@@OFW yea I've used climax before that's what my previous employer had, from Maine so I've been to the shop and checked out bore repair systems in nh before they were owned by climax, I have a rep now that I'm talking to about some York portable tools out of Texas, they seem very well made and from what I have seen, climax for a beginner set is just out of my price range that's all.
Nice work! Nice video, thank you.! I thought I was the only one to wear sunglasses while plasma cutting, LOL. What wire are you running? It sure looks like dual shield.
@@OFW looked familiar. I use 71A85, and I love that shit. Stupid easy to run in all positions/directions! I can't wait to see the rig tour. Very nice truck.I will be building a bed to put on a T300, in the near future.
Pretty much the same as I was doing at CNR railway but you are much more into everything but we were into rebuilding, straightening and reinforce fish plating center sills
Love the videos...i work in the same jobs in europe, for an employer...but i am thinking on going on my own...still thinking about best way to do it...any advice?!thanks...
@@OFW thanks...exactly what i am doing...couldn t be more happy with your advice...makes me feel like i am in the good path...thanks a lot...love the videos....i use to see IC Weld, wich is also very good ...then i found your videos a little bit different, more plasma than torch and also machining wich i like...thank you again ..God bless you
I just recently found your channel and I gotta say I love it 😊👍👍 it is exactly what I’m trying to get into albeit slowly but ya gotta start somewhere right lol . I see that You do all MIG and no SMAW, am guessing because of ease of use? Yes? No ? Just curious 👍
Hey we all started somewhere and it wasn’t on the top. I mostly use wire feed because it’s faster. I do stick weld sometimes when it makes sense to me.
Your absolutely right about that , that’s why the ladder starts at the bottom and goes up lol Yeah I actually learned with flux core and it is definitely faster , at my job we do all MIG welding but have an old Linde stick welder that I sometimes knock the cobwebs off of it and lay down some 6011 beads , that thing will test your patience because it has no arc force , or dig, or anything really and it takes the words “ stick welding “ to whole nother level lol
Comment all you want! I typically do that while air is coming out. I feel like it blows away any dirt or obstructions also making sure I can make the cut without hitting anything or the cord getting caught.
Dual shield Lincoln 71A75. In the video I’m running 1/16”. But I also run .045 dual shield and sometimes ER70s6 hard wire depending on the application.
You don't like the Flux core I'm just thinking for having to haul a cylinder around ever where I've got the same set up but it's Lincoln I have duel shield wire now just tried of hauling the cylinder everywhere have you ever us Flux core trying to find some one with experience in this
@@1hydrostatic I have ran plenty of flux core. It’s good. I like how dual shield lays down so I mostly choose to run that. Carrying the bottles around doesn’t bother me because they will already be in the truck.

You should always put a big post under the apron before walking into the bucket. If the apron fell, it would cut you in half.
Love the videos! They're top notch. This is the stuff they should be teaching the youth of America 🇺🇸
This guy and his videos reminds me of when I was in a high school trade school for four years. You would be a great instructor, etc, etch

Great work. Nothing like having all the right tools for the job.
Great videos and you do very professional repairs! I do this for a living also and after 25 years still enjoy welding equipment.
I found your channel by accident.
You are doing great work and I look forward to seeing more of it.
regards from Hamburg- Germany
Interesting. I love watching those machines at work. The maintenance on them is interesting
Man thats a big job ,,Glad I don't have to pay the repair bill ..Keep up the good work !!!
Nothing like watching another man weld after having my hood down for 12 hours. Why am i like this???
Really enjoy your content been a welder for 15 years keep up good work
Looking at that job just seemed an overwhelming amount of work, but you make it easy. Love the channel.
Puts a whole new meaning behind skinning a cat
How cool! I'd love to see you do a walk-around on your work truck.
I like watching your videos, lots of work
what a fantastic plasma cut on the AR plate......

Man I just found your channel, awesome job and keep up the great work. 👍
Learning a lot from you man. At least how you improvise and solve problems 👍
Nice videos! I’ve been watching you and Isaac! Lots of familiar stuff to me! Lol! Kent Smith Welding.
Damn that plasma cutter cuts very clean with no rough edges. I didn’t realize they worked that well with clean cuts.
It's basically operator experience there talking many years of experience
That truck crane is awesome 😎
Amazing video brother. One thing though, suggest some knee pads your knees are gonna be wore out and there comfy!
They sell kneepads that fit inside pants that have a double knee-Carhartt is a good brand
Nice job, great video. I do the same thing as you- field service welding.
I have done it and I hated it, I'm a shop guy, I guess that makes me a pussy.
@@mikepoteet1443 no it doesn’t make you a pussy. There are some days especially in Michigan winters when I would love to be able n a shop, lol.
Always have to be careful when cutting floor skin. Some people just start hacking away at it and some wish they still had theirs.
I buy apron kits, floor kits and other stuff from Steel Unlimited in CA. can't beat the price and time savings
Thanks. I’ll check them out.
Beautifull service truck 👍👍

@@adambrewer4400 I liked the BRS stuff and It worked well but the climax has different options that I like more. I have heard good things about York.
Really diggin these videos man
I bought some lifting magnets and love those things. But they were not cheap!
Dam good job my friend thank 👍🙏
Awesome work ! 👍👍
Plate dogs and wedges my favorite. Better then half clamp on difficult plate.
Awesome job!! I learned a lot, Thanks again!!!
nice video....
Man you guys are good I can say that but man kneepads are your friendMan try to say your knees worksite
Nice work! Nice video, thank you.! I thought I was the only one to wear sunglasses while plasma cutting, LOL. What wire are you running? It sure looks like dual shield.

LOL "And i suck at math" LOL i hear ya man i hear ya !
Great videos!
HOT-RAPID-KNIFE through butter is how this plasma cutter performs. How is that possible on steel this thick?
More amps!
Beautiful work !!
21:48, NOW THAT's a WELD! F, yeah!
Great push bumper mod!
Danke .... gruss...

Get a few good customers on the side before you quit. And always do good work

I am amazed at how fast and easy you make this look! How many years do you have in and where did you get your training? Thanks.
I have been welding since I was 8 years old. I have been in this field of work for about 10 years. All self taught. Zero schooling or training.
@@OFW That’s even more amazing than your work! I believe that everyone is talented at something. If they can find it they got it made.
Wait until you get into a 657.
Done plenty of those lol
How do you price these jobs out? I've watched a bunch of them, and all seem to be different.
All by the hour.
How about a truck tour?
Truck tour is coming soon.
Hi thanks for the video. I was wondering what plasma cutter you have and how deep it will cut?
Hypertherm powermax 105. I have sever cut 3” with it.
That looks like a decent machine. Thanks for letting me know
last question when you are gouging with the plasma are using a gouging tip or just regular tip, love the vids
You can use a cutting tip on gouging settings but it won’t last as long and is not as effective. I always use gouging consumables.
What's the boom rating on your crane. You said pull the apron and I was like oh shit, that can't be light.
12,000 lbs at and 30ft straight out it can lift 2,600 lbs.
Sorry to keep commenting. So why do you "dry run" the plasma cutter before you actually begin the cut?
Comment all you want! I typically do that while air is coming out. I feel like it blows away any dirt or obstructions also making sure I can make the cut without hitting anything or the cord getting caught.
Have not seen you in awhile you ok
👌👌👌👌👍👍
Honesty I would like to see the part two
Quanto custa um trabalho desses, e quanto tu gasta de material?
I like the video, but please just stay out of the way of any hydraulics, thats small piece of rubber failing shouldn't be the end of you
What kind of grinding rocks do you use? They seem to work a lot better and last longer than the Norton ones we use
3m cubitron. They are the best I have found.
Is AR500 always been around before becoming mainstream as a bullet proof target plate?
AR and hardox plate has been around for a long time
Doesn't adding a thicker bumper plate change the radius of the contact plate, or is that not really an issue?
The contact plate or “push block” has a flat surface. So it doesn’t matter.
Incredible videos! Top of the u tubers! A pleasure to watch! Real projects in the real world! Enjoy everyone of them! I guy has a brain!
Do you pre heat that t 400 plate ??
and u get it done
did alot 621 pans
What do you charge for a job like this go for $25K
$135 a hour. I think I had about 12 hours in it
Mu price in California $20.000
What plasma cutter you using
Hypertherm 105
do you use hardox on projects
Yes I do
What size of hypotherm do you have?
105
What wire do you run and size
Dual shield Lincoln 71A75. In the video I’m running 1/16”. But I also run .045 dual shield and sometimes ER70s6 hard wire depending on the application.
Is that duel shield or Flux core?
Dual shield
You don't like the Flux core I'm just thinking for having to haul a cylinder around ever where I've got the same set up but it's Lincoln I have duel shield wire now just tried of hauling the cylinder everywhere have you ever us Flux core trying to find some one with experience in this
