I only know enough to get in trouble. 😁😁 I dont have enough tooling to ever say i would machine something critical for someone. I basically use it for my own junk.
I see it this way, Curtis is a surgeon who has an operation room, You are a battlefield medic triaging projects so they can continue to function as designed as soon as possible. You both are are experts in your craft and pleasure to watch.
i really admire your problem solving and willingness to tackle a project that others wouldnt ever think of taking on. i always learn something from your videos keep it up!
Someone once called me the best 'bodger' they had ever known. It was meant as a complement from one engineer (deceased) to another. My bodges last - forever. It's nice to know I am not alone, however I bow to the welding master so far across the sea.
@@bigdave6447 So he should be, he's good at his job, works hard and his channel subscribers are through the roof......go take a chill pill and have a nap.
I have been a machinist for a long time, so i knew what kind of tool you needed.I was very impressed that you macgyvered that tool out of mild steel bar stock . and the best part was that it worked pretty well. Great job!!!
Another fine lesson in breakage repair, problem solving, tips and tricks! That shoulder cutter as l would call it is an inspired idea and just goes to show that a creative engineering solution is truly "outside the box" thinking. Top marks young man!
Don't tell Curtis? I'm sure he'll be choking on a beer listening to that, as I know for a fact he watches your stuff. Both of you are geneii and need to keep churning out these great vids Well done Peter Liverpool England
Next time try a red copper rod it works on steel and aluminium you can use acetylene heat the casting slightly then it brush clean easely then before welding just use a acetylene flame with no oxygen blow the place black where you must weld then pre heat until the black disapear clean again and weld i did boat props vw enjine tops everything when i was an aprentise currently almost 25 years a welder butt lately only welding train bogies or trucks i used to do draw gears and train couplers.Nice job though i enjoy your videos go well.
In a world where social media is becoming less and less real we can rely on icweld to bring the first time, one time only, dirty part, dirty cast ally repair work. Love to see it.
Good ol Zf5 trans! Nice repair job! Can't tell the difference at all. Looks factory 👍🤷♂️✔️🛠️🗜️🔩⚡🔥📏 I have a zf6 w\ a small hair crack coming from that clutch arm hole thru the side of trans(front 'dry' bellhousing side - not fluid filled section). I bought it used, shipped to me & didn't notice lil crack til later when putting it in. Seems fine still, but I keep an eye on it so it doesn't travel. I may have to pull it sometime to drill holes @ end of crack &\or have it welded. But as of now, I just baby the 7.3 in front of it, so there's not much torsional stress going thru the case at all. 🤷♂️🤔👍🔨
Tigging sand casted aluminum is a whole different skill set than what we usually see here. I used to do this type of small stuff for a machine shop that worked on antique engines on parts you couldn’t buy anymore. Go slow, adjust the AC balance, keep the heat where it needs to be and dip the filler in judiciously. There’s an art to it, fun to watch.
I’m sure there’s no instruction manual on how to do something like that you looked at it you figured it out how your brain would do it and you don’t want Issac you did a freaking amazing job absolutely professional
I would give my left arm for a lathe and some good welding kit like yours, but then I am not a pro like you. Well done, some real innovation and out of the box thinking.
It always seems like aluminum welding is easier than metal welding, but I know it's not. Everyone tells me how hard it is to weld aluminum. It's not pretty, but pretty doesn't always work either. Awesome job once again.
Great job Isaac!! You know the saying "need a tool, make a tool". Sometimes shop made tools are better than no tool at all. Be safe out there brother!!
Fantastic fix, thanks for the show! For the next one... Seeing the housing's cylinder mounting "ears" seem to indicate that the clutch fork is actuated via hydraulic cylinder. After a failure like this possibly the fork etc. could be discarded to be replaced by release bearing with direct-acting integral hydraulic cylinder? A bit of plumbing and presto!
I had to do a similar repair on an automatic transmission oil port bung that got cracked off... tapped it 1/4 pipe thread after and worked fine, always nice when you can save a case!
I actually seen quite a few broken clutch fork pivot points on those ford ZF S5-42 and 47 transmissions. When that happens I don't bother fixing it, I just switch to a hydraulic throw out bearing which is actually much better.
That was a great job you did. Most mechanic and machine shops would have scrapped the case or the whole tranny. I know cause im in the business but you got them out of a giant predicament. I hope you charged them at least half the cost of a good used transmission. Congrats.
Real tidy looking repair. Can't remember exactly what i used it for but I have knocked up a homemade cutter from a broken HSS drill bit, drilled the correct size hole and then stuck it in with 5 min epoxy. Looks like a really weird bit of engineering having it just a smooth plug in the hole.
Awesome repair. Ford Zf5 transmission. Mine busted the whole bell housing in two a few weeks ago. Crazy how your projects seem to coincide with mine. Had one of those lifting slings break today and thought of your recent bucket video.
Wait a damn minute...you've got a lathe and know how to use it!? My brother! Looks good from here 😏👍
I only know enough to get in trouble. 😁😁 I dont have enough tooling to ever say i would machine something critical for someone. I basically use it for my own junk.
What I really like is how he uses a hoist EVERY chance he can to save the wear and tear on his body……… Smart man!

Curtis from C.E.E. Australia has " heaped praise " for Isaac's ingenuity in past episodes , and that says a lot ...

Hi My Friend Very Good Job So Nice ❤❤❤❤❤
Curtis would be very proud of your machinist work,and the tool you made
Another shop made tool!
Carl?
There's only person Curtis is proud of , CURTIS!!!
😂

There you are, fixed!!! No drama or bullsh1t. Take note, this is they kind of guy you want on your maintenance team. Class,as ever Isaac.
I love the mention of Curtis from CEE. I watch every video both of you masters put out.
Oh! THAT Curtis! Yeah he’s pretty good
I have been a machinist for a long time, so i knew what kind of tool you needed.I was very impressed that you macgyvered that tool out of mild steel bar stock . and the best part was that it worked pretty well. Great job!!!
What is it called? The wood worker side of me was that it's time to wreck a forster bit.

nice lesson and cool tool solution.
I hit thumbs up when you said "You're learning as I'm learning." :)
Hi Isaac 😊 nice job mate, adapt and overcome, lol. Thanks for another interesting video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

I think Curtis would approve. Lol Awesome save Isaac!
Between you Isaac and Curtis, You both open a world to which most of would love to have those skills. Thanks Isaac.🇦🇺🤟❤

You would have been a great farmer! Total farm repair. And that's a compliment!
Your home made spot face worked very well!
Very nicely done, sir. "Don't tell Kurtis"...LOL!
"Kurtis has entered the chat"😂 he did good always enjoy watching Isaac working

Isaac, your on the fly problem solving skills is amazing! We viewers should be paying you to learn these skills! 👏👏👏👏
A real professional with problem solving logic. You prove every job is more than just welding. Well done.
Man that little rotary shaving tool you came up with is big brain stuff! Awesome job.
Wow, that's a nice Quincy Compressor you have.
I’m sure there’s no instruction manual on how to do something like that you looked at it you figured it out how your brain would do it and you don’t want Issac you did a freaking amazing job absolutely professional
Once again, your ingenuity amazes me.
Well Issac you saved the transmission from the jaws of death. And gave us tubers a good lesson in cast aluminum repairs.
5 words that is NOT in IC Weld's vocabulary: 'NO, I can't do that!'. LOL Great job!
I would give my left arm for a lathe and some good welding kit like yours, but then I am not a pro like you. Well done, some real innovation and out of the box thinking.
I'd give a different part of the anatomy just for some of his skill/experience.

You know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention! Well done, sir!
I just threw all my welding equipment away after watching this! Amazing job!!!
Great job Isaac!! You know the saying "need a tool, make a tool". Sometimes shop made tools are better than no tool at all.
Be safe out there brother!!
Thanks for sharing. God bless you 🙏
Your flange-cutting tool is genius!
Another job well done!
Cheers from Tokyo!
A piece of round Graphite would help you weld up that broken piece to. Nice job again 👍
I've used carbon arc gouging rods before but not anything bigger than 3/8". its all I had.
The joys of creative fabrication!! Thanks for showing it.
Ain’t nuthin you can’t fix! Good stuff Issac!!!
Your innovations never cease to amaze me. Well done Sir!
Can't break it if it's already broken! But it's always a great feeling when you can figure out how to fix it!
*I C Weld* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
"Don't tell Kurtis. " 😂😂😂
Great fix on Ford’s better engineering
Sure, because no other manufacturer has ever had anything break. Give it a rest...
Glad to learn the stainless plug trick. The squaring up tool was a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic job ISAAC!!!
Your ingenious “porta mill” was something to behold. Very innovative fabrication.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Your the BEST Isaac ! I enjoy all your videos.
Great job Issac. Where theirs a will theirs a way.
Why do you doubt yourself? You always figure something out. Nice repair and thanks for the video!
No matter how large or small, the thought you put into the job is commendable. Keep the content coming. Paul UK
Better than factory! Looks great. I know it was a small project but I’m very grateful you shared Isaac. Thank You!
Don't be surprised if Curtis contacts you for some of that custom tooling! You da man!
7:03..." Don't tell Curtis... " 😂😂😂... " Roight oye guys.."...
Great Isaac. I didn't know aluminum could be repaired that way. So I really did learn something today! Thanks Isaac!!
Issac, surprising oneself when things work out is always a nice thing. Great job making it work.
What a neat idea for shaving it down .
Fantastic fix, thanks for the show!
For the next one...
Seeing the housing's cylinder mounting "ears" seem to indicate that the clutch fork is actuated via hydraulic cylinder.
After a failure like this possibly the fork etc. could be discarded to be replaced by release bearing with direct-acting integral hydraulic cylinder? A bit of plumbing and presto!
I've made my share of tools but never made any tooling, nice fix
I had to do a similar repair on an automatic transmission oil port bung that got cracked off... tapped it 1/4 pipe thread after and worked fine, always nice when you can save a case!
Nice welding job ... thinking outside the box ....
That was a very tricky repair, but you nailed it. It should be as strong as original, even though it might not look quite factory.
Where there is a will there is a way! Great job. Stay cool.
You are a master craftsman my friend
Perfect example of why I’ve been sub’d to your channel 💪🏾
What an amazing talent and skill set you have. Enjoy watching your creative work.
Again, another amazing repair! Thank you for the good idea , Isaac!
1.1K+👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing
We have a plumbing tool for that. its a seat facing tool. Multiple fine cutting edges for flattening seats that washers sit on. Works like a charm!
is it called seat facing tool? i'll have to look into that. Thank you!!
@@ICWeld Yes, they're a handy little tool.
Always interesting to see how you solve these one off jobs 👍
Issac saved another one! 👍
Thanks for sharing! Solving problems to get a job done and with a great attitude! Love it!
That'll work until it doesn't! Good job brother
I actually seen quite a few broken clutch fork pivot points on those ford ZF S5-42 and 47 transmissions. When that happens I don't bother fixing it, I just switch to a hydraulic throw out bearing which is actually much better.
Great job my friend 👍
Great instincts on how to solve the problem.
A valve seat cutter of the right shaft diameter would have worked to true the top of the throw out arm pivot. But, your way worked 👍
Great little short video . Nice repair and sweet idea with the new tool .. . Thanks
Always a joy to watch your videos! This one was a doozy.
just started the video-it's only been up 4 minutes.I've fixed this similar problem by just building it up with tig and doing the machining after
That was a great job you did. Most mechanic and machine shops would have scrapped the case or the whole tranny. I know cause im in the business but you got them out of a giant predicament. I hope you charged them at least half the cost of a good used transmission. Congrats.
I've done a few ovver the years, seems like a design issue.
Very nice! You make it work! Hello from San Antonio, TEXAS!
Very nice work as always !! You saved them a chunk of money and a big headache !! 👍👍
Haven’t seen much from you lately. Always enjoy your content. I hope you’ve been able to dodge the heat. 😊
Good job Isaac,,like your vlogs watch it all the time nice work,,Ben from Mesa Az 👍🏼🙏
Real tidy looking repair.
Can't remember exactly what i used it for but I have knocked up a homemade cutter from a broken HSS drill bit, drilled the correct size hole and then stuck it in with 5 min epoxy.
Looks like a really weird bit of engineering having it just a smooth plug in the hole.
Good repair Issac
Another great repair job, IC is the Man, saved that customer a lot of money.😃
As usual you made it look easy great job
Great Video Isaac! Doing what you have to do to get it fixed!!👍👍
Another work of excellence out the door!
Excellent job Isaac! Superb work.
You have a god given talent my friend 🇨🇦
Great job, Issac!
Isaac, I see went to school of hard knocks. Your was on the top of the class.
Great job.
Great work… very creative
Awesome repair. Ford Zf5 transmission. Mine busted the whole bell housing in two a few weeks ago. Crazy how your projects seem to coincide with mine. Had one of those lifting slings break today and thought of your recent bucket video.
