I must commend you on explaining all your processes. I am retired as a welder from the Union Pacific R.R. bridge construction department. For 40 years my brother and i were like the swat team when they had a bridge emergency. Nice to see a fellow welder that takes pride in the work you do. Excellent Job.
Eddie, with how big the U.P. has gotten, they must have had you and your brother zipping all over the system! Did you ever manage to get any time at home or have a quiet week? Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 We have a lot of low railway bridges in Melbourne and over the years they have been protected by heavy duty protection beams. Even with warning signs trucks still hit the beams. Montague Street in South Melbourne is notorious for being struck in spite of all the warning signs and dangle fingers.
Greg, love your explanations of how/why things fail and the engineering behind improving it. The welding isn't bad either. 🤣 Thanks for bringing us along!
Some issue could be the fact it's a D9 blade on a D10. Very easy to tell with the cushion blades, twin cushions are D9, tripple cushions D10 and 4 cushions D11.
Just found your channel and I really appreciate your work. Keeping the things that keep this country moving moving. Must admit I was a bit disappointed when there was no yellow paint at the end :(
It has been a long time since I work on a cushen blade. I remember back in the day, replacing big giant rubber blocks mounted between the bump stops. That kept the blade from bottoming out on the spring rods. The style of the blade looks the same, but maybe things have changed. Great job on the repair, looks like they'll rip the floors out of the scapers before they tear up that repair!!!
I'm glad I watched this three weeks ago! My Moose 50" snow plow had to be repaired like this,welding the 3/16 doubler on today. I boxed in the chinzy angle and reinforced the whole mess.
Greg, I would gladly pay to see your heavy equipment antics on the big screen of any movie theater! 🤣😎🤙🏼. THANK YOU for sharing your experiences with us! Great content, and completely educational and entertaining for me!
Awake and dealing with aftermath of a microburst storm when some heavy weld repair appears. Just what I needed to settle me down - creative problem solving and sparks!
Great video, really appreciate specs on wire and gas; Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering does this too and I think it makes a difference to those of us interested in improving our own skills ( I’m a farmer and tend to weld “accordingly” 😂)
Yes totally agree I wish people would talk more about that stuff and why you did it that way even the different types of metal and why you used it I'm in Ireland and trying to build my own business I was a mig welder for 10 years but I'm mad to go mobile on my own so I love your work and would love to no what all tools I need to go mobile like the size of welder and compressor to be able to plasma cut and air ark like you can on site 👌💪
GREAT WORK 🤙🏼 thank you for sharing your everyday REAL world welding tasks, EVERY welder WILL experience cracked welds that they did and just need to get to it, do the repairs and MOVE ON! THANKS AGAIN for your no excuses attitude and sharing your content 🤙🏼.
im not a welder or a heavy equipment operator.... however, i came across your channel the other day and found it very interesting to watch ... thank you .... i liked the way you explained what your doing and why ... nice work sir .
You are right about the force is towards the D10, compressing the springs and only goes the other way if pulling on something. But during normal use when the pusher D10 backs off and reconnects or changes speed or they hit uneven ground... the springs allow for that change in pressure. That change in pressure may still cause oil canning of your brackets/plate due to the compression spring's relaxing force. Not sure. Doesn't matter. Going back to my beer anyway. Good job as always.
I just watched CEE they’re reworking a D8 blade & then here you are. I C weld, a couple weeks ago Issac got a new plasma cutter with a long handle, you might could use 1 yourself. Thank you Sir for the video.
Like that dual shield, great deposition and for me hard to keep that proper electrode stick out. Get them worm holes! Pretty cool to see it on that machine. Thanks for the content.
When i use to install root rakes, we welded a 1/2" plate onto what we believed was 1/4" plate behind the dozer blade. Then we welded the 1" thick brackets onto the 1/2" plate. Make sure to burn hot enough to fuse good.
I would suggest removing the eyes from the top edges of the blade and providing something attached to the arms or low on the blade for them to attach to for pulling. You are correct that using this style of blade to pull with will cause it to fail.
Beautiful work my friend. I have seen CAT use thinner steel probably in an effort to save money I am guessing..So many heavy pieces of equipment need reinforcing and rewelding in reality even when new.
Limited knowledge here but you have to wonder why the last repair wasn’t done more like yours? It just seems common sensical to tie in the roots like you did and have a 3/4 inch plate. Awesome vid, great description of everything, really enjoyed learning about those.
Them tilt shock brackets are so close together the torque on them must be off the scale when the blades working. It's no great wonder they failed - any weakness there at all would get torn out fast.
The inside gussets were welded before the outside plate was put on. The reason it failed was because thats where the cylinder mounts are and take the biggest beating.
Cutting holes in the fill plate for a groove weld around the outside of the eyelets and welding them to the internal structure first then welding out the plate would be about as strong as you could get.
hi handsome I love your welds and your plasma cutter . could you take some time and talk about your tools of the trade in detail? explain why you use them and how your thoughts and practices from the "you used to use to what you use now." thanks
When kids and Adults with goals in their life go to a movie theater to see how stuff is broken and fixed and they fill the theater seats, you will know the country is back on track with our industries.

As Mr. Eddie said, you explain things very well. Thank you.

Greg, your work is second to none! Please keep the videos coming.
Some issue could be the fact it's a D9 blade on a D10. Very easy to tell with the cushion blades, twin cushions are D9, tripple cushions D10 and 4 cushions D11.
It could be an early D10 which is what the D9 basically became
@@scubasteve7946 the D10 became the D11N
TS - 14 Terex , twin scrapers have their own (optional? ) cushioned push block .
clearly you didnt pay attention when he explained the blade
Another “Better than when new”repair! Greg, once again I am impressed with your knowledge and skill level! Wonderful video, so keep ‘em coming!
And yet another fine job fixing the endless supply of broken earth movers...
Dropping the 3/4” upgrades on a mighty D10. Good discussion of the mode of failure and the prescribed fixes. I’m learning a lot!
It warms my heart to know that I'm not the only one that uses a forklift as a work bench 😊
Just found your channel and I really appreciate your work. Keeping the things that keep this country moving moving. Must admit I was a bit disappointed when there was no yellow paint at the end :(
Another master class.Thx fer giving us some engineering and welding repair.Makes understanding what is happening easier to grasp!
Didn’t know there was a spring dampened blade for pushing earth movers on those dozers. Great video and once again thank you sharing with us!

I love watching the big boy equipment getting fixed. Good filming.
Was literally just watching a vid on someone doin maintenance and repairs on an old D3 when this popped. Yeesss!!
I dont weld or work with big equipment, but I do enjoy watching a craftsman at his trade. you're gifted at what you do
I just finished watching D8 dozer blade repair by Cutting Edge engineer and now this one
Awake and dealing with aftermath of a microburst storm when some heavy weld repair appears. Just what I needed to settle me down - creative problem solving and sparks!

Great video thank you for your time documenting the job.
2am in Nebraska cant sleep and a On Fire Welding video comes on How AWESOME is that !!! You had a sit down job for a while👍
11am in Nairobi
High stress environment for sure. Nice job.
Looks like a very solid repair to me. Nice job!
Great channel! Your knowledge is a joy to watch.
Found your channel the other day.Great work on some tough jobs there.Straight forward super videos.
Glad to be Back Greg.......cheers from Florida, Paul
Great idea Greg!! Good job!!
When a guy knows his craft, he knows! Great job!
im not a welder or a heavy equipment operator.... however, i came across your channel the other day and found it very interesting to watch ... thank you .... i liked the way you explained what your doing and why ... nice work sir .
Great content. You excel in teaching. Thank you.
Back when I was a kid (60 years ago) a local guy was under a paddle scraper on stands. It fell and cut off both of his legs. Gotta be careful
Nice fix that should last a lot longer then the original brackets excellent see ya on the next one 😊
I just watched you service truck tour on the KW and I would love to see a full tour of your ram and a shop tour if possible. Keep up the good work
Good fix, I like the high speed then stop for explaining the plan. Good editing skills
Excellent info presentation of All Aspects of your Job !

Another high standard well done repair 😎👍
Great fix ! I love to see your tasks. You are very good. thanks for sharing.
Austin for Pipe and fab, Greg for the repair of anything and everything under the sun to the gold standard!
Another great job completed you fix things when engineers and designers fail
I just watched CEE they’re reworking a D8 blade & then here you are.
I C weld, a couple weeks ago Issac got a new plasma cutter with a long handle, you might could use 1 yourself.
Thank you Sir for the video.
Like that dual shield, great deposition and for me hard to keep that proper electrode stick out. Get them worm holes! Pretty cool to see it on that machine. Thanks for the content.
They break em you fix em ! Lol Great job as always !
Excelente trabajo amigo!!
Very nice work being it was in a confined space for the final welds, a welding magician you are, keep the videos coming
Can't imagine how long it would have taken to grind bevels in 3/4 inch steel plates. You definitely made the right choice with a cutting torch.
well its a good thing a youtuber gives the final approval lmao
When i use to install root rakes, we welded a 1/2" plate onto what we believed was 1/4" plate behind the dozer blade. Then we welded the 1" thick brackets onto the 1/2" plate. Make sure to burn hot enough to fuse good.
Every fix you do isn't the same, good repair done very well
Nice work again!
Gota luv the plasma cutter. My favorite tool. Lightning on demand
Really cool! Good work!
You have been doing this a while you saved this guy a ton of money great job I am sure you stay very busy
I would suggest removing the eyes from the top edges of the blade and providing something attached to the arms or low on the blade for them to attach to for pulling. You are correct that using this style of blade to pull with will cause it to fail.
Great work again young man.
A D10 push dozer. Great job again.
You need a couple of quick setup canopy tents 😊😊
Very talented guy. Thanks for the post.
Fantastic work as always thanks for sharing 🦘
Clever shade solution!
Excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Caterpillar has to be watching. , your diagnosis is so cool to watch
Coffees On!! That's morning coffees,,!Here we go!!;-)!!
Back again thank you for sharing

a weld thats cracked down the middle means a good weld but over loaded. A weld cracked around the edges means lack of fusion and or bad weld.
Them tilt shock brackets are so close together the torque on them must be off the scale when the blades working. It's no great wonder they failed - any weakness there at all would get torn out fast.
Awesome skills 👊🏻
bad ass. gettin it done brother keep it up
Great work as always
Love your channel.

Serviço executado com excelência , o corte com plasma fica excepcional 🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼💎⚡☕🔥💐🎖️🔑🔋🇧🇷🎷🎉✅
Good work! 👍
Nice work all Mig awesome job
Nice job of understanding
Weak points and up grade
With thicker material
Well done sir!
I think you have a terrific show and I have never welded in my life , it is that your show is very interesting ,
Cutting holes in the fill plate for a groove weld around the outside of the eyelets and welding them to the internal structure first then welding out the plate would be about as strong as you could get.
Correct
Nice work, especially the plug weld. Do you use gas shield mig in outdoors situation or prefer flux core ?
Good job 👍
hello, that's amazing
hi handsome I love your welds and your plasma cutter . could you take some time and talk about your tools of the trade in detail? explain why you use them and how your thoughts and practices from the "you used to use to what you use now." thanks
That was some nice workmanship! I was wondering how you would line the bracket and pins backup after you cut them off. Nice work.
Good work
That is genius using a magnet to hold the pipeliners cloud.
When kids and Adults with goals in their life go to a movie theater to see how stuff is broken and fixed and they fill the theater seats, you will know the country is back on track with our industries.
Know nothing about welding but I watch anyways 🔥
Nice work :D
You best welding men 👏🙏👏
945👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing
👌👍 thanks for sharing!
Top Job, Sir 👌
