By the Way, I have been wanting to mention this, your Son looks so professional with his Industrial quality clean clothes, shirt tucked in, al the right safety gear, no slogans or printing on his clothes..........I am sure you are really proud of him, he really is a great asset to your company.....tell him he has some fans out here.......I know, I am one of them......Paul
This channel and CCE Australia are my two favorites right now. Kurtis of CCE has the advantage of a clean shop with all the parts being brought to him for repair. Issac struggles through the issues of having to partially disassemble the machine to get to the repair, repair the damaged part and then reassemble. Kudos to you Isaac for a job well done....
And I C Weld is the only channel Kurtis watches, lol. Kurtis does go to job sites, he doesn't film them though becuase it would probably not be safe for his wife. But yeah, most of Kurtis' jobs are in the nice clean machine shop, lol. Kurtis says that they only film like one in 5 jobs they do in the shop, becuase the filming process makes the job take longer, so they really only film jobs where the customer doesn't need their stuff back urgently. Otherwise he would probably have some pissed off people lol. I C Weld does alot of the filming with the camera on a tripod, and does it in one take(I'm assuming anyways, lol)
It’s IC WELD & CEE & BLONDIHACKS are my weekend viewing. No bull shit, no rock music, no jib a jab a, just good engineering craft work demonstrated. It’s a declining skill.
@@LifetimeinWelding thanks for the Blondihacks recommendation. It’s never come up in my suggested before. This old Tony is another but life has happened to him as he hasn’t posted much lately.
"If it was easy it would be called 'Fun' not 'Work"... That is a phrase that many people need to learn and live. "I don't know how we are going to do it, but we will get it done." That is how I approach so many of my renovation jobs too. Cheers from Tokyo!
I fully appreciate renovation/ remodel type of guys as well, You never know what you are going to discover when you cut out old wall paneling and structural elements. You have to be well rounded in your trade and be a good problem solver.
I'm lucky enough that my job is so easy for me it's more fun than work. I'm a loader operator at a quarry. Now operating a loader in a quarry is not easy in the least, I'm just good enough that it's easy for me and 25 years of experience is what makes it easy.
You gentleman are a top quality operation. You come to the job looking professional, you act professional and best of all you bring a very sound can do, problem solving approach. If you were in my area, I definitely would call you in for help first, no doubt about it. That was not an easy project. Very well done once again! Nick, North West Farmer
Good to see junior on this project, no amount of schooling would prepare him for this. This is real world, hands on education being taught by a master craftsman and the upside its being done by someone who truly cares he's taught correctly. Without sounding hoky, with love and pride. For my first twenty work career I worked with dad and went from being help, partner to him working for me in the auto body frame and paint business. We worked for others and owned our own business until he retired, miss that Ole man everyday.
I absolutely love that you and your son work together. I wish I had that kind of relationship with my father. Although on the other hand not so much. I didn't and don't think it's right to lie to the public and then live off the tax payers dime. My father is a politician. So I became a professional mechanic instead. I'm now 49 years old and feel like I've not really worked a single day. Although my body tells me otherwise, that's for sure. My father? Well he's still lying and living off the tax payers. Very well I might add. He just won another election where he lives. I live in a completely different state from him. Which is for the best. I live in my home state of Texas and believe me, Texas is a better place without him!!! My apologies for the rant. As usual, Outstanding work guys!! It's always a pleasure to see y'all working together!!
I can tell you from my experience it's not easy working with your father, I did for over twenty years. Left him once because he didn't let me do more. In those three months he realized I was an asset. He asked me back as a partner, not help. We worked together another 15yrs with some growing pains but became good friends and a great team. It was tough on mom because she caught it from both sides. After 22yrs him being gone I miss arguing with him about everything. I hope you can patch thing up with your dad for peace of mind on your side, knowing you've done your best.
@@charlescastillo8870 Unfortunately, I just don't see that happening. There's A LOT of very bad blood between us going all the way back to by childhood. Not to mention his wife is EXTREMELY possessive. If she so much as smells anything resembling a "patch". She will stop at nothing to destroy it. I know how it sounds. There's no way it could be that bad. I promise Sir, it is. Back when I meet my wife and the situation came about for her to meet them. I warned her of the situation. She said and thought the same thing. "There's no way the situation is really that bad. Especially after the first meeting. But once our relationship became more involved and my family took off the "Happy family routine" , which I could never play. God I got into so much trouble as a teen for not playing along. My wife just couldn't believe that a "family" could function like that' She even went so far as to ask me if I was adopted!!! Because as she put it "How in the world did you come from that?" 20+ years down the road and she's convinced that I'm adopted! So at this point I have no relationship with my mother, father, brother, and two sisters. Which is sad on one hand. But on the other. It has to be this way just so I can keep what's left of my sanity. Besides, They only liked me or wanted me around when they needed something from me. Charles, I'm sorry for loss. But I'm really happy that you were able to have that relationship with your father. Although the two of you butted heads I'm sure. But at the end of the day I'd like to think y'all were better men because of it. I'm sure he's very proud of you, even now. Thank You Sir for sharing that. You be safe out there!! Apologies for any typing errors.
@@ICWeld I'm watching it a couple of minutes at a time but I don't think I'll ever watch one of your videos and not enjoy it 😁 thanks for taking the time to show your work, besides entertaining it's really educational
Isaac great to see your son taking a active position learning the trade from a excellent craftsman. Always interesting projects, your humorous comments, explanation and video shots make for interesting presentations.
I’m one of the three guys who build t630’s and the new t644. Funny I came across this randomly. Crazy seeing them with years on them. I remember them all when they were new being shipped out
Always fun being the one to fix all the sins of others after it all falls apart. Add to that, the occasional customer that stands over you complaining about how long it is taking and how much it is costing. Great job. Thanks very much for sharing.
Quickest way to deal with those sorts of people is to go hand them your tool belt and ask them to show you how to do the job better and faster. Then step back so you don't get knocked over in their haste to get clear of the job.
Retired after 43 years on a field truck or in the shop. We had a saying that if the machine don’t go the job don’t go. However you can only patch it so many times. I was fortunate enough to have a boss that would value our input on when to bring a machine out of service. He fully understood our intention of keeping the equipment on the job. From the movie “shreck” onions have layers. After a while you haft to remove the layers to get to the core. Love it
Well Sirs: I am impressed as always. Analyzing what to remove and how to make it all fit again is amazing. The complications connected to clearing the concrete and avoiding setting the whole thing on fire goes beyond any repair welder I've ever seen. Congrats to you both for a job well done. Ye Ole Caterpillar Cowboy.
Looked like an incomprehensible mess when you started and a neat straight useable machine when you finished! Nothing but respect for your work ethic and ability! Your son is a great asset, and he is learning the right way to do things.
I’m only at the 12 min mark and I have to say I hope you “charged the poop out of them” for your knowledge, skill and expertise. Your helper has to eat too…i’m so glad you post this great content of exceptional craftsmanship in this day and age of “buy another one”….thank you!
I suspect that the client knows just how much a new machine would cost and how much a rebuilt machine would cost and have decided to do the job "In-house" and call in Isaac. Salvaging their existing machine without having to worry about completely cleaning and painting the unit will save a lot of money. The goal is to get the machine back up and working properly.
Hi Isaac, That was some setup to get right. I see you decided on one longer video. Always enjoy watching your welding and fabricating skills. Stay safe.
I noticed most of the comments, people are bragging on your work, I agree with them. Now my 2 cents worth, You took a sow’s ear and made a Silk Purse out of it. Thank You Sir
As a welder myself, I am addicted to your videos. I keep learning new things to improve my skills. To be able to make something straight when you are dealing with a warped situation as this piece of machinery is top notch! Keep them videos coming!
As always, you deliver more than a pound of cure for the missing ounce(s) of prevention. Another great job, and the reason so many good welders preface their own reviews with, “I’m no IC Weld…”
We had an old man way back when, who was wise beyond his many years. He said 'you can't make chicken soup out of chicken shit'. He said you could spend a pile of money on a pile of junk and end up with a pile of expensive junk. Looks like you have pretty much proved him wrong. Now let's see what the company can do to get this thing back together and make it work. With everything they wanted you to do, you got a great job. I hope they appreciate how much effort and planning goes into doing a good job under the worst conditions. Keep 'em burning brother
I sure hope you billed this job by the hour ;-) This was a VERY time consuming job, impressive that you had the time available to do it considering how busy I'm sure you are!!! A good welder is hard to come by now and in huge demand!!! Well done gentlemen!!! 🙂
Growing up working under my fathers wing having him teach me all I know about our business in excavation I love the fact your boy is working and being educated by you! #fanilybusiness
I'm impressed. Watching you cut and dig reminds me of replacing big timber sills on a 150-year-old house, you just keep digging until you find good material to work with.
Wow, that was quite a production! I'm amazed that your hourly rate was low enough to make that worthwhile for the owner, but then again, machinery of all kinds is in short supply... old and repaired, at high cost, sure beats brand new with an ETA of six or more months.
Another job sorted by a first rate team. Amazing skills and a good plan. Well done guys. Best wishes as always from across the pond in the UK. RIP QUEEN ELIZABETH 2.
That is one Heck of a job Issac and Son! I feel like this has to be a Do and Charge as a Quote on this type of Job would be like asking How Long is a piece of String. Great result, John, Australia.
It would have to be done on a Day Rate as there is no way to quote something like this machine without having to pad out the quote and you could still be in a jamb.
Thank YOU for taking us along on the job. A person involved in this kind of work can learn a lot just by watching you. You are providing many people with a valuable service, both the customers you are working for, and us students watching here at home.
This must be the biggest scrap iron jungle I have ever seen and i saw a few. Of all the people to handle it they certainly chose the right man. You are a credit to your trade. In a lifetime in heavy industry and an engineer at sea I have not seen such a dainty competent tradesman. I'm sure your son is very proud of you and will make you very proud of him one day. Best wishes, good luck, and above all. good health.
Tough call on that one! Have you seen Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia channel. Now he is a very hard worker and a talented welder, and machinist.
Isaac, I hope you got paid accordingly on this job. You guys worked your butts off on this one. Like always, I appreciate your professionalism and eye for detail. Keep these videos coming!
That is a big, messy and tricky job to do. It doesn't help that it appears to be a bad design or lacks enough bracing to me. Four days, that is good going considering the amount of work to cut out an integrated are that is central to the structure of the machine and the cabis mounted to the side of it. Well done to you both, top work!
The last time I touched a torch or a welder was back in high school shop class years ago, but I am hooked on your videos. The appeal is watching your confident approach to repairing broken machines in the hardest of environments and your experienced hand stitching metal together. I admire your craftsmanship and your clients always get a safe, solid, dependable rebuild of their equipment. Keep up the good work!
Well Isaac, now you can add Structural Engineer to your resume!👍 Proper dress right dress execution of this extremely intricate job! You and your son as a team, did the work of a six man crew on this one. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the prep and fit up! The 99% that goes into the job before the welding begins. Nice to see you’ve taught your son so well! As he went around the suspended load, not under it! Safety is paramount! Always a learning experience and pleasure watching your professionalism and humbleness! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏
Yes sir, we are going to take your machine apart at the seams. Cut out all the funk and junk. Then recalculate as close to spec as possible. And put it back together again! All in my backyard. And it will more than likely be better than brand new! Guts and tenacity!
Ol Tucker sure was a dirty sucker when he designed & built that. Patience & persistence go a long ways. Just because it's work doesn't mean you have to make it hard. Started following you after Jody had you on. Keep up the good work, enjoy watching you & your son solve problems.
Great video I’m glad you went with the long version. That was a big job very well done. It’s nice to see your son working with you learning the trade the best way hands on in the field at the job site wherever that may be. Y’all are making a great team and looking professional in matching work gear with the proper safety gear👍👍👍
I absolutely take my hat off to you guy's!!!! That was a mammoth task right there. I had to fabricate and replace a boat trailer rear section that had to be done in 3 hrs due to weather and tidal changes on my own and it near killed me!!!
I loved the video, the knowlage and the way you work with everything is amazing and the longer video is format is awesome, even though i know it is only for this video, still loved it
Glad you inside and had a swamp cooler to give you the illusion it's a cool work enviroment. :) At first when I heard Tucker I thought of the car. That was some hard work.
That was quite a job for sure. With many pieces taken out to be put back in later. It is good to see your son working side by side with you and learning so much that you had to learn before him. Looking forward to more of the same. jack
(Customer says…) could you rebuild the entire machine? The steering wheel and tires are in great shape! What a job, and well done. Love this channel which rebuilds my faith in people.
Great looking field repair on a well used unit. Lots of times you need to regroup on this type of job, well done and thanks for the easy chair look over your shoulder. My hats is off again to your knowledge you share with we the unskilled viewers.
It’s alway fun peeling back the layers of previous repairs and just like an onion it can bring tears to your eyes in what you find. Nice repair and video.
Crazy thing, i live in the city where these are built, even worked at the owners house and years ago worked on the irrigation and the factory, always saw them sitting out front of the factory and wondered what they were for, now i know.
Boy your gfrinder ground that like he was going to have to weld it, good work, but wouldn't expect any less from your son. quite the project. Cheers from Michigan.
Tough project when you must battle dirt, rust and built up concrete. You guys work together well, and I know I'd be very proud to have my son working next to me. As mentioned, you both look professional and work well. Thank you for sharing.
I love all the crazy jobs you and your son tackle.. he's learning from one of the best ? Don't think that will be his life long trade tho.. But, man its got to be nice to have him by your side working with you, ya'll be safe and we'll be looking for the next one, See Ya
I’m one of your biggest fans, but I have a problem with your apprentice. I watched this whole video and you needed a hammer a dozen times but your helper kept handing you the wrong tools. I saw you use a leatherman, a 12” adjustable, welding rod, and even jagged cut offs. Not once did he give you a hammer. ;) Keep up the good work and providing great content guys!
I don’t know how old you are Isaac but I’m sure it’s nice having your son there to help you because it doesn’t get any easier as we get older🙄 PS your freehand cutting is incredible👍🏼
I’ve been watching your videos when you put them out it’s great to see your son is working with you. I did the same with my dad now my son is taking welding and metal working in high school and is starting to come down in the garage when I’m welding or fabricating on a job that I can bring back. Keep up the good work.
after that thing full of concrete, looks like it still needs more steel. What a job- 4 days, that was a killer. At least you not out in the sun. thks for showing us.
Construction and Heavy equipment are proof .... necessity is the mother of invention. These machines are designed and built to do the job faster, more accurate and to safe the physical damage the work did to the Back, shoulders and knees of the tradesman... I have the MRI's to prove it. That said, I don't know what the latest advancements in Welding are to save the body of the Welder
By the Way, I have been wanting to mention this, your Son looks so professional with his Industrial quality clean clothes, shirt tucked in, al the right safety gear, no slogans or printing on his clothes..........I am sure you are really proud of him, he really is a great asset to your company.....tell him he has some fans out here.......I know, I am one of them......Paul
well said. they are amazing
Agree 100% 👍
Well stated, Paul Brown.
Funny you should mention the dress code. I have noticed it too. It tells you a lot about theguys coming to do the job. Thumbs up IC weld team👌👍
Looking like a professional and performing like one. 👍
Yep me too,they do it once because they do it right stay safe both of you.

Thank YOU for taking us along on the job. A person involved in this kind of work can learn a lot just by watching you. You are providing many people with a valuable service, both the customers you are working for, and us students watching here at home.
Must say that I admire your calm and professional attitude. Even when standing in what seems to me a warzone of cutting and welding.
This must be the biggest scrap iron jungle I have ever seen and i saw a few. Of all the people to handle it they certainly chose the right man. You are a credit to your trade. In a lifetime in heavy industry and an engineer at sea I have not seen such a dainty competent tradesman. I'm sure your son is very proud of you and will make you very proud of him one day. Best wishes, good luck, and above all. good health.
Wouldn't doubt most of the construction/machinery companies within 100 miles know of you and when a difficult job arises they call on you.
you my friend are awesome. hardest working man on the tube.
Tough call on that one! Have you seen Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia channel. Now he is a very hard worker and a talented welder, and machinist.
Isaac, I hope you got paid accordingly on this job. You guys worked your butts off on this one. Like always, I appreciate your professionalism and eye for detail. Keep these videos coming!
good to see the boy walk around instead of duck under the beams. safety first, live a long injury free life.....within reason of course
That was amazing guys, great execution of a very complicated repair!
Wow! Glad you left this as one long video. Really enjoyed it. What a challenge. I felt stressed out just watching. Great job.
That is a big, messy and tricky job to do. It doesn't help that it appears to be a bad design or lacks enough bracing to me. Four days, that is good going considering the amount of work to cut out an integrated are that is central to the structure of the machine and the cabis mounted to the side of it.
Well done to you both, top work!
I’m exhausted and I was only watching? You really are an artisan.
The last time I touched a torch or a welder was back in high school shop class years ago, but I am hooked on your videos. The appeal is watching your confident approach to repairing broken machines in the hardest of environments and your experienced hand stitching metal together. I admire your craftsmanship and your clients always get a safe, solid, dependable rebuild of their equipment. Keep up the good work!
Terrific job, what a mess.
Be nice to see a short video of it being reassembled, 5 min.
Damn, dood. 99.8% would have pulled it up and plated it. You get me, and more importantly, you get truth.
There's not much need to apologize for the length of this video. This is an exciting piece of equipment. What's more, I LIKE this crew!
Amazing ! I wouldn't even know where to start on that.
Well Isaac, now you can add Structural Engineer to your resume!👍 Proper dress right dress execution of this extremely intricate job! You and your son as a team, did the work of a six man crew on this one. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the prep and fit up! The 99% that goes into the job before the welding begins. Nice to see you’ve taught your son so well! As he went around the suspended load, not under it! Safety is paramount! Always a learning experience and pleasure watching your professionalism and humbleness! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏
Yes sir, we are going to take your machine apart at the seams. Cut out all the funk and junk. Then recalculate as close to spec as possible. And put it back together again! All in my backyard. And it will more than likely be better than brand new! Guts and tenacity!
Thank you for the full job video. I enjoyed seeing the complete job being done.
What a complex job this was. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Kudos to you. A lot of people would have walked away from that puzzle.
You can make chicken salad out of chicken s&&t for sure. Extreme craftsmanship a pleasure to watch.
Ol Tucker sure was a dirty sucker when he designed & built that. Patience & persistence go a long ways. Just because it's work doesn't mean you have to make it hard. Started following you after Jody had you on. Keep up the good work, enjoy watching you & your son solve problems.
Had to wait until almost the end to see the torch come out!
Whet a mess you find yourself in, when repairing!!!! Wow, you do great work, and make it fun to watch!!! Stay safe, Robin Jo from PA.
Nice work, Sometimes we all have to polish a turd..
Great video I’m glad you went with the long version. That was a big job very well done. It’s nice to see your son working with you learning the trade the best way hands on in the field at the job site wherever that may be. Y’all are making a great team and looking professional in matching work gear with the proper safety gear👍👍👍
*I C Weld* Bravo well done, big job, what a mess. Thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.
Very challenging job and well thought of, I am glad that no one got hurt in the process, what a challenge
Ah cement dust, immediate phantom itch in my hands. ;-) Great job stitching that casualty back together!
It's always harder to work and weld on old wore out equipment. Every time I watch you I learn how to do things easier, thank you.
I absolutely take my hat off to you guy's!!!! That was a mammoth task right there.
I had to fabricate and replace a boat trailer rear section that had to be done in 3 hrs due to weather and tidal changes on my own and it near killed me!!!
I loved the video, the knowlage and the way you work with everything is amazing and the longer video is format is awesome, even though i know it is only for this video, still loved it
Great video! Have a great weekend guys
Glad you inside and had a swamp cooler to give you the illusion it's a cool work enviroment. :) At first when I heard Tucker I thought of the car. That was some hard work.
Ha, The cooler was actually hollowed out. it was just a fan blowing hot air! haha
That was quite a job for sure. With many pieces taken out to be put back in later. It is good to see your son working side by side with you and learning so much that you had to learn before him. Looking forward to more of the same.

(Customer says…) could you rebuild the entire machine? The steering wheel and tires are in great shape! What a job, and well done. Love this channel which rebuilds my faith in people.
Isaac takes on projects im sure other guys just look at and say "Nope!".
Yup. But then again, If I dont do it, someone else will!. So why not let it be me! 👍👍😊
@@ICWeld That's why fabricators get paid the big bucks! 👍 Your videos really are a masterclass in practical field repair.
Great looking field repair on a well used unit. Lots of times you need to regroup on this type of job, well done and thanks for the easy chair look over your shoulder. My hats is off again to your knowledge you share with we the unskilled viewers.
It’s alway fun peeling back the layers of previous repairs and just like an onion it can bring tears to your eyes in what you find. Nice repair and video.
Crazy thing, i live in the city where these are built, even worked at the owners house and years ago worked on the irrigation and the factory, always saw them sitting out front of the factory and wondered what they were for, now i know.
Excellent video as always. I don't think it was too long, I enjoy the longer ones anyway. Keep 'em coming.
Boy your gfrinder ground that like he was going to have to weld it, good work, but wouldn't expect any less from your son. quite the project. Cheers from Michigan.
Tough project when you must battle dirt, rust and built up concrete. You guys work together well, and I know I'd be very proud to have my son working next to me. As mentioned, you both look professional and work well.
Thank you for sharing.
you and your son do fantastic work. I think I would have told the customer that it was time for a new machine
I love all the crazy jobs you and your son tackle.. he's learning from one of the best ? Don't think that will be his life long trade tho.. But, man its got to be nice to have him by your side working with you, ya'll be safe and we'll be looking for the next one, See Ya
I’m one of your biggest fans, but I have a problem with your apprentice. I watched this whole video and you needed a hammer a dozen times but your helper kept handing you the wrong tools. I saw you use a leatherman, a 12” adjustable, welding rod, and even jagged cut offs. Not once did he give you a hammer. ;) Keep up the good work and providing great content guys!
I don’t know how old you are Isaac but I’m sure it’s nice having your son there to help you because it doesn’t get any easier as we get older🙄 PS your freehand cutting is incredible👍🏼
Half century, and yes its definitely nice to have such a young assistant.
@@ICWeld 57 and feeling it 🙄
I’ve been watching your videos when you put them out it’s great to see your son is working with you. I did the same with my dad now my son is taking welding and metal working in high school and is starting to come down in the garage when I’m welding or fabricating on a job that I can bring back. Keep up the good work.
What a heck of work!
😱
I would just standing now before that machine trying to figure out how it would be done...
Thx for showing!
👍👍👍
after that thing full of concrete, looks like it still needs more steel. What a job- 4 days, that was a killer. At least you not out in the sun. thks for showing us.
I like the long videos gives me time to drink my coffee and get ready for the day
Wow!! A lot of work!! Great video! Great teamwork! Thanks for sharing! 👍👌
Fantastic work, love the way you problem solve through how to get the repair made.
Construction and Heavy equipment are proof .... necessity is the mother of invention. These machines are designed and built to do the job faster, more accurate and to safe the physical damage the work did to the Back, shoulders and knees of the tradesman... I have the MRI's to prove it. That said, I don't know what the latest advancements in Welding are to save the body of the Welder
Dang that thing had a lot of twist in it that was one hell of a job
Fantastic job on the repair work! And thank you for the reply back ! Bless you and your son for a very talented and professional team work!
Thanks for the video Isaac. It seem that the tougher the job, the more satisfaction when it's over. Jon
