Good job!! I still amazed how you get down in the dirt and get her done. I’m a retired from old school jack of all trades master of none. I am blessed to enjoy seeing a skill craftsman taking on the challenge. Enjoy your day.
Great work - as usual! May I suggest turning down the music - or turning up your narration. I find I'm turning up the volume when you are speaking, then turning it down during the music - then I can't hear what you're saying - up-down-up-down, you get the idea. With respect :) P.S. - Industry standard for music AND/OR narration is -12db :)
Very true this up-down-up-down gets old. I have stopped watching some others that I followed because of the same. On Fire Welding, Great work though, keep it up.
I spoke too soon when I recently discovered this channel that there is more talk and no interrupting music but I was wrong. The music type is a bit too much. Rather no music at all
I love watching your repairs. I'm learning a lot. (71 years old, welded since I was 15, never professionally so...) I'd like to see some of the equipment work after you fix or modify them
Haven't done much hard facing before. Would love to see a video about when you need to add a build up, intermediate harness layer vs when to add straight to the base.
Excellent channel I like it. I am not a welder. But I did have a pipe fitter certified in welding teaching me how to do basic welds. And you to know when you are supervising somebody welding for me such as a mechanic. You can only well clean shiny metal. It has to be clean you can't weld through rust dirt and greasy oily material. And when you watch this guy the first thing he does is get comfortable. Sits down lays down whatever he has to do to be comfortable when he is welding. My two cents worth.
Awesome video can you put the welder wire size gas exct. and tools used in the description below just for quick references other than that awesome to watch
Liked n subscribed!!!! Nice fix...... on the field it can't compare to shop repairs. It only needs to work for the crew to get back to work.... Keep it up. 👍👍
Okay so now you created a monster, my husband, he now is confident and wants to tackle a project. He has a rear 8ft scraper for our 75hp tractor, he uses it for fine finish grading only, and doesn't really move large amounts of dirt. Anyways hes adding a 2"in HYD. Cylinder to swing the blade 30'deg left & right from zero, pretty easy he says and got a couple of templates made for the 1"metal. The question is would T1 metal plate be sufficient for the brackets which are about 12" inches in length & from 7"in. on welded area , tapered to 4"in on the Hyd rod pin. He can weld fairly neat but nowhere near the speed you are at, he has a DC 250amp welder and uses a 7018 rod which means absolutely Greek to me. Thanks for your input.
Can you tell us lil bout where you learned your early welding skills and best person who helped you in the craft. Apprenticeship? Am highly impressed with your skills especially with the air arc of which i never got past being a total hack.
Like your channel, I'm a retired electrician and a shit house welder. I love your content and explanations. I can take or leave your background music. It not that important to me. Thx.
Seriously? You can’t buy a tarp / blanket or even grab a piece of plywood to lay your tools on? Every single tool is buried in sand … hard to watch. You should also get yourself a small stool or even a Bucket to sit on, save your back and knees, let your body rest whenever you can. Good job though
Say what you will, but I don’t think this man needs any advice on his welding ability. I would however, have beveled the eyelet plate and possibly preheated the shank before welding the build-up plates on. The shank was probably still hot enough from the arc gouging for the eyelet though.
Are you in California? I’m here in Petaluma, it looks like you are in the valley?!! I just love your videos!! I wish I had your talents for fabricating!!!
Great welder, crappy music, almost made me stop the video. listening here in the living room and had to nail the volume to stop drowning out the dog. having said that, i enjoy your videos you are a very good welder and have learned a few tricks from watching someone that knows how to weld.
I agree and disagree with you. 90% of the time I have no issues welding with gas outside. But when it’s windy I agree straight flux core or stick would be the best. What are you saying about the pin holes?
Gregg. if a random citizen were to aquire a D10 and desire to modify it into a replica of the famous 'kill dozer' would you be able and more importantly to copy the design, source the material, and weld up the rig for this citizen? im assured it will be used for a parade float. then stored as a reminder to billionaires what a couple guys can produce!! are you in?
Please no music my friend. We are watching you doing a great job with the sounds you create no music can beat that.
Good job!! I still amazed how you get down in the dirt and get her done.

Your field repairs are better than some peoples shop work

Music added to videos sucks. Shit can the music it’s useless and unnecessary.
Very true this up-down-up-down gets old. I have stopped watching some others that I followed because of the same.
On Fire Welding, Great work though, keep it up.
yes, please turn it way down.

@@dionhorn5624 I feel the same. I want to watch because the content is very good but the music is too much...i say it with respect

Glad I found your channel! Excellent content! This is what I would love to see my little business grow into.
You’re a phenomenal craftsman I dig it!!!!
Take a look at Curtis from Cutting Edge Engineering.
Haven't done much hard facing before. Would love to see a video about when you need to add a build up, intermediate harness layer vs when to add straight to the base.
Very nice work Greg, thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
Good call on not putting that eyelet on backwards. Did a great job on that shank build up.
The sunset is best part of the video.
I am so glad to find your channel. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Nice repair but my biggest question is why no bevel and preheat that's a big cold chunk of steel
Great work. Music too loud.
You should do a truck/tool tour and show us your set up from welders to plasma, tools you do and don't like.i think that'd be cool to see
I will do a truck tour soon.
Love your channel. You have such a wide variety of repairs that you do. I learn something on every video! Keep up the good work!
Hell yea man very good field repair. Exactly what it needed nothing to fancy just gettin it done. Nice welds
Excellent channel I like it. I am not a welder. But I did have a pipe fitter certified in welding teaching me how to do basic welds.

One of the most important things when welding is to get comfortable before you start welding.
Keep them coming!
Nice work wish 8 was 40 and learning how to do this type of work
Should do a truck tour on what u carry!
would be cool if you had one of those tinted cameras that could see the welding process (puddle etc). but no biggie, great videos thanks
The cameras aren’t tinted, most guys just put an auto darkening lense in front of their camera. But I agree it makes the video more interesting.
Awesome video can you put the welder wire size gas exct. and tools used in the description below just for quick references other than that awesome to watch
I saw the ripper and knew it was SJV!! Nice use of the carbon arc gouging!! LN23 case too!
Liked n subscribed!!!!
Nice fix...... on the field it can't compare to shop repairs. It only needs to work for the crew to get back to work....
Keep it up. 👍👍
Good content keep em rolling!
Can you show more of your truck please I live in the Alberta oil sands area I’ve never seen a truck like yours here and that’s what I m looking for
Love the work on heavy equipment or anything really. Great work
Love the videos, love the commentary.
The music... Not so much.
Excellent video showing your skills.....Music is annoying !

T1 should be fine. Might be overkill. I would have to see the setup to tell you. 7018 is a good choice.
Looks like they’re going to build subdivisions stores new living areas north side of the grapevine. I’m guessing a lot of stand out there.
I like dozers & scrapers. I was a pipe layer for 18yrs
I like how you did a field repair. I’m just wondering if the ripper shank could have used some pre heat ?
Had to do this for a linkbelt 3900. Some of the mounts for the teeth were worn on the bucket and had build em back up
good stuff Man....just subscribed, cheers from Florida, Paul
Thanks for your videos
I liked the Music......great photography .......Bravo.....
Great repair. I could do without the music though.
The music sucks
Music is a nice touch
No preheat?
Nice job.
keep 'em coming!
Good job brother thank you 🙏👍👋
The background music was fantastic made me want to hang around to watch the whole video
Your videos are excellent. What amperage do you use when gouging? And what diameter rod do you use? Again great video, thanks
600 amps and 5/16” rods
Those slip plow ears take a beating. I just did a very similar repair on a 10T last week.
Rw weld es no bueno
Wish I could’ve apprenticed for you. I’m certain I would’ve been better served.
Great job!
As others have said. Great craftsmanship, but the music detracts from the videos.
Self shielded wire? Been learning a lot from your videos 🤘🤘
No, this wire is dual shield. It requires a gas as well.
Very very good job thanks fof you
BRAVO !!!!!
nice work
Can you tell us lil bout where you learned your early welding skills and best person who helped you in the craft. Apprenticeship? Am highly impressed with your skills especially with the air arc of which i never got past being a total hack.
Nice beads bro👍
like watching your craft, chill some on the music some tho, lol
Good video man, I would of put a massive bevel on that towing eye for 100% weld pen
a double V
Totally. Doubt it lasted long.
The OCD in me wishes you would have ground those 3 gnarly welds down that someone else did. Great video however!
Like your channel, I'm a retired electrician and a shit house welder. I love your content and explanations. I can take or leave your background music. It not that important to me. Thx.
What kind of cutting and welding is that...?
Love the show
Seriously? You can’t buy a tarp / blanket or even grab a piece of plywood to lay your tools on? Every single tool is buried in sand … hard to watch. You should also get yourself a small stool or even a Bucket to sit on, save your back and knees, let your body rest whenever you can.
Good job though
Fantastic! My helmet is off to you!!
No guard/handle on the grinder…….💪💪👍👍
Wish u had video of it in action
Just wondering why you didn't chamfer that eye before welding to get 100% penetration?
Because it doesn’t need it.
Like this……good job
Strikes me the operator has run the shank in the ground a far bit too ware that point down! Cj uk
Turn the heat up and J motion from the ripper to the eyelet.
Say what you will, but I don’t think this man needs any advice on his welding ability. I would however, have beveled the eyelet plate and possibly preheated the shank before welding the build-up plates on. The shank was probably still hot enough from the arc gouging for the eyelet though.
Are you in California? I’m here in Petaluma, it looks like you are in the valley?!! I just love your videos!! I wish I had your talents for fabricating!!!
Yes. Out of fresno. Thank you.

Dont you need a giant welding bevel for the eyelet?
No you do not.
I would worked the wallowed out pinholes. Fluxcore and stick in the field.
I agree and disagree with you. 90% of the time I have no issues welding with gas outside. But when it’s windy I agree straight flux core or stick would be the best. What are you saying about the pin holes?
A year later how did the repair on the ripper hold up?
I haven’t been back to that dozer. But if I do I will definitely do an update video.
No music!!!!!!
hell man how you let it ware down so far ?lack of matnince?
👌👍
What grade metal did you use on that repair ?
Ar400
What size welder on your truck
Dam music is 500% too loud
Could a person use 7018 to do what you did with the mig. I'm new to welding
Yes definitely
is it a tree root ripper ?
Where are you guys from ??
California
and if you're from California what area ??
Fresno Clovis area
Any updates on that ripper
They swapped it out after a couple months. It actually doesn’t look that bad.
Gregg. if a random citizen were to aquire a D10 and desire to modify it into a replica of the famous 'kill dozer' would you be able and more importantly to copy the design, source the material, and weld up the rig for this citizen? im assured it will be used for a parade float. then stored as a reminder to billionaires what a couple guys can produce!!
are you in?
I am in 100% !!!!!!
is this fluxcore gas shielded?
what is your cfh for the gas?
if i get anywhere outside with that wire, POROSITY! LOL.
Yes, it’s dual shield. I usually run 30 cfh
You did't preheat anything
What dual shield wire do you like for field work
Lincoln 71A75
What flux core wire do you use. I know it could vary it’s just rare that I use flux core I’m not too familiar
The wire I’m using is a dual shield. It is Lincoln 71A75. With 75/25 gas.
@@OFW right on thank you
🇺🇸👍🙂
Is that mig a 12vs
Yes
If you need anything I work at the red d arc San Diego I’m the lead tech
Shanked it, just the tip.
it's like 90% of what you do is "field engineering" and the rest is welding and grinding.
