Well done for the repair. A few things I think might help you next time? 1. On a bucket like that, just take a template of the bucket floor shape and get a new floor bent. The cut out the floor and replace it. That floor was bodged and is better out and replaced. 2. new cutting edges should ALWAYS be wider by around an inch so as to preserve the sides of the bucket. The edge you have there is too narrow. 3. Wear strips. Tack one end on, then heat, bend and tack as you follow the shape of the floor. 4. 7018 is plenty strong enough. Those 10018 rods may well crack in due course. 5. Always use a cuting nozzle big enough to cut through the section easily. You nozzle was far too small. 6. All welders vary on amperage and the meters can be up to 10% off. 7. Always bolt new cheek plates to a bucket that has had them previously. You can clearly see two square cut holes in the sides just above the cutting edge. These are for cheek or bucket sider wear plates. They cut the trench/ground and help preserve the bucket. You can also use old cutting edge to the same effect but weld it on. 8. Where possible, to pre heat thick steel, use a rose bud or warming gun. It is far better, quicker and gets to temperature faster. Ideally 250 degrees F minimum but not above 400 degrees F and make sure you warm it up thoroughly.
About point 8. I found it really funny that they used the dinky propane torch to preheat the metal when they had access to oxyacetylene. Though I guess it got the job done. Once you dump enough heat in from welding you got to worry about overheating more than anything.
Honestly, and I will admit to having no background in heavy equipment, but as for point one... Considering how bodged the floor was, and how worn the sides were, would it not be, perhaps, better to just replace the bucket outright at that point? Or is the mount/pivot the most expensive bit of the bucket or something I'm missing with my limited knowledge?
@@joserafaelteles1099its leakage between the + and - side of the cylinder. Not a big deal unless its a lot, its not like its leaking oil into nature. If you buy new high end machine it wont have it. But a cheap one might have some. On old machines its normal. So if you buy used you should start it up and let the oil get warm. Because as you know, warm oil = flows easier. So when the oil is cold everything might look fine but when it gets warm the bucket drops so fast you constantly have to adjust it. And just like old engines, you can also switch to a thicker oil to get that last bit of work out of an old worn out machine.
The formula to Fahrenheit to commie units is: Commie units = (degrees Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 Let’s say you want to convert 500 Fahrenheit to commie units. You’d do: (500 -32) / 1.8 = commie units 468 / 1.8 = commie units 260 = commie units 500 degrees Fahrenheit = 260 commie units It’s fourth grade level math. It’s extremely easy to figure you. You don’t need people to put it on a screen for you.
@@UltraMagaFan2 "Commie units" says everything about the level of your intelligence, or lack thereof, so don't get too confident in your cute little attempts at being a smart ass.
@UltraMagaFan2 Hey, thanks for your efforts explaining to me how to convert the units , but I knew all of this. Do you expect me to calculate the values in my head in second while enjoying the video? Or pausing the video and using a calculator? It's not gonna happen, and that is why I appreciate Waldo's efforts.

Awesome repair and thanks for talking through the efficiency of our Zeta C Hardfacing Rod. Your tip for holding the rod is a helpful one for sure. All the best!
When using arcair, you should ALWAYS ensure you have the shortest stick out of the electrode in order not to make the whole thing turn red and degrade before it's time. It takes a bit more time to have to adjust the carbon rod as it depletes but in the end, you save up on it and it actually works better from keeping it's integrity longer and having your air source - or nozzles - closer to the fusion bath. Just my couple cents from a Canadian welder with TONS of heavy duty repair/refurbish/pipeline experience. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing
Invest in a plasma cutter, PrimeWeld has a model called the cut 60 that would have blown clean through that bucket in seconds rather than messing around with arc gouging and oxy, you can even gouge welds with the special tips you can get for plasma cutters, it's a no-brainer for how cheap they are, they are time tested and well-loved in the community, we own three of them and they get beat on all day everyday
no way .... to cut 1.5" you need at least a Hypertherm 85 ... ask me how I know .... I did that same job MANY time on YT and off YT for money .... a 60 or 65 amp cutter will struggle with 1" material .... 1.5" material no way .... the 85 barely gets the job done .... I have 2 of them ... I know ...
@@ZILAwelds I've cut 2 inch thick with the cut 60 from prime weld. You just have to angle the torch and run 2 passes. I've cut miles of steel with plasma and we have a CNC plasma table running around the clock. Operator experience is important...

Nice work on those welds, new teeth look sweet! You've got a lot of projects going on but I've been looking forward to part 2 of this excavator series!
I love old machines! Quick tip from an operator (noticed on part 1). If you're gonna lift something heavy or pull really hard on something, point the tracks towards it rather than reaching over the side as it will give more stability. On the same note if you pick up a huge boulder and slew round 90 degrees to the tracks, be ready for the weight to maybe tip the balance. That old thing is a complete beast, would love to see the cab glazed. Wouldn't cost too much.
The company I work for does dirt work. We don't hard face our buckets, but we do use frost teeth on every excavator year-round. Each tooth has two points on it. Our excavators are GPS equipped too, except the mini. Frost teeth. You will be happy with them.
Omg i was waiting for so long on this video (2 years) and was begging you to make a video about the excavator and its finally here. Cant wait for part 3 to come out in 2 years 😂😂
I’m not being a smart ass but the way that bucket moved around it needs new pins and bushings and possibly line bored plus that new cut edge you might have been money ahead to buy a new bucket
This is a channel where he repairs things. It wouldn't be much of a video if he just bought a new bucket. He wants to fix it for video content and because he likes to fix things instead of buying new.

I just discovered your channel and am already wondering how I'm going to deal with my new addiction. I love your common sense and thorough approach to your repairs. We are twin sons of different mothers! I'm in CT and would love to visit your operation in N.H. Keep the videos coming!
Your oil test result told me the builder of that excavator 😊 Liebherr 😊 the big Dozer made by JD with only colors and wording are made together I believe. 😊 I saw a huge Liebherr track loader at Con-Expo in Las Vegas it was a very stout looking machine.
I was really looking forward to this update. I think the excavator video was the first I've watched of yours. Of course, I'm hooked and watched all of your videos. Great content. Thanks
Ultra lock teeth are nice but they are way too expensive for what they are. I cut the ultra lock shanks off my buckets and put the old cat j series tooth adapters on. A tooth and adapter costs less than just an ultra lock tooth. I burn through a set of teeth in 2 weeks. The cost savings are huge.
I know nothing about mechanical devices but I love your channel and your work. As a fellow you tuber your video editing skills are amazing. It’s not easy. Keep it up.
I would ask around at some of the local rock pits or the county shop for some cutting edges. They get too worn out for their intended use on a loader, grader etc. but you can cut them down for wear plates on the sides, bottom and wherever else on the bucket.
Love the old machine. Too many people just abuse them until they die. The two holes on each side of the bucket are for wear plates. That's why the bucket is wearing the sides. Its okay to have the teeth where you have them. Some people think the teeth should go beyond the sides in width but with the wear plates on the sides, there isn't a problem unless you are using it every day. Preheat is to prevent the body of the bucket from drawing out the heat of the weld too quickly, causing cracking.
Many years ago I worked in a small shop that made conveyors,screw conveyors and redler chain conveyors. We made our own sprockets, some big as 3 feet in diameter. I did all the welding so I got to use those hardening ing rods on every every tooth. Took forever on the big ones.
NO need to worry if Peter is on scene! The man knows his stuff! Love the vids, enjoy the season change as we do here in west Central VT....Carry on... be safe....Be Blessed.
that`s the thing with excavators, the revs have to be on full ALL the time, otherwise the hydraulic pumps aren`t working correctly, not as interesting as your car video`s, but still enjoyable.

These projects are on his time, he has a family, a life and a real job outside of UA-cam. He doesn't need to whore himself out on here to pay the bills.
Engineer here and this is an interesting video, but I must point out that tensile strength is like a pressure which = force / area and so it is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) and not just “pounds”.
As a Liebherr tech, throttle is almost everything with these machines, old and new. It can control hydraulic speed and drive speed (as drive is also hydraulic) Turn throttle up and you can get usually the full around 5mph/8kph drive speed out of them, and the speed that the hydraulics then operate can become almost scary. booming up or slewing around can honestly happen quicker than you'd think from something so heavy. Also that part that's loose when you spin the machine (known as slewing) would be the slew motor, and I believe you should be okay with just torqueing down the bolts. After nearly 40 years of slewing around, likely at high speed with throttle up, there's a good chance they'd have shaken loose
7:08 FFS man! Heavy grinding at eye level with only a pair of glasses? You need 2 layers of protection, I've been to the Emergency room more than once to have bits of metal removed by a Nurse with a needle digging into my eyeball. Take care ALWAYS.
yep - you are 100% correct ... ! at Froedert ER it cost $1400 to get the metal picked out of your cornea .... at the eye doctor in Cudahy its $188 .... and before I needed reading glasses I could do that myself in front of the mirror .... a face shield would have been nice ...

Pleasant surprise to my weekend this video is!
randomly showed up in recommendations big robot manicure 10/10
Engineer here and this is an interesting video, but I must point out that tensile strength is like a pressure which = force / area and so it is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) and not just “pounds”.
Wow Waldo, I have never seen numbers jump so high while watching a video, you were 900+ when I started, now 1.1k.
As a Liebherr tech, throttle is almost everything with these machines, old and new. It can control hydraulic speed and drive speed (as drive is also hydraulic) Turn throttle up and you can get usually the full around 5mph/8kph drive speed out of them, and the speed that the hydraulics then operate can become almost scary. booming up or slewing around can honestly happen quicker than you'd think from something so heavy. Also that part that's loose when you spin the machine (known as slewing) would be the slew motor, and I believe you should be okay with just torqueing down the bolts. After nearly 40 years of slewing around, likely at high speed with throttle up, there's a good chance they'd have shaken loose
7:08 FFS man! Heavy grinding at eye level with only a pair of glasses? You need 2 layers of protection, I've been to the Emergency room more than once to have bits of metal removed by a Nurse with a needle digging into my eyeball. Take care ALWAYS.
yep - you are 100% correct ... ! at Froedert ER it cost $1400 to get the metal picked out of your cornea .... at the eye doctor in Cudahy its $188 .... and before I needed reading glasses I could do that myself in front of the mirror .... a face shield would have been nice ...
