Caterpillar Front End Loader Repair

Hey guys, Sorry for the delay in posting videos. Thanks for those who reached out to ask if everything was ok. All is good. Had a lot of things in the mix for the past little while.
In any case, here is a nice little repair we did late summer. It was a fun project.

The man is a damn surgeon with a gas axe. I don't know of anyone on YouTube that cuts nicer with a torch!!!

Fast forward? No way!, It is a pleasure to watch an artist with a torch work!

Always a good day when a IC weld pops up to show everyone what a true welder looks like. Truly a master at his craft

That idea with the nut to reclaim the tapped hole was a nifty trick .

This type of repair is like an iceberg. The finish welds look like some easy passes that shouldn't take any time. What's not seen is the thought that goes into "how the heck am I going to fix this". Followed by the "sneaking up on the fit up". Then, the final prep and holding everything in place. Yeah, then, just sew it up. Isaac makes it look just so easy. The man is a true artist. A sculptor chips away what isn't the final piece. A welder has to chip even more away and then replace the material removed. Artistry, I say, artistry!

Curtis at CEE does surgery in a state of the art hospital while Isaac is like a MASH unit doing surgery in the field. Kudos to both!

"Better to sneak up on it than go past it".... wise statement

I have over 30 years welding, but I would still love to hang around Issac for a couple months. He is full of tricks on repairing equipment

"I'm here because you broke something" on the welding helmet. A more perfect message I cannot imagine. nice

Your Videos are always worth the wait. You are a wizard with the torch.

When Isaac says "I'm not saying this is how to do it, it's how I'm going to do it" you should pay attention. I pick up stuff from his videos all the time on how to approach challenges, devise a plan, and execute it and know when good enough is good enough.

I remember that young Assistant, way back before he could sprout facial hair.. It's amazing how time has flown! He looks to be an upstanding young man Issac! Congratulations!

6549 rods later..all is good !

I cant weld worth a damn...but I, like many, are addicted to this channel...

[heierman]

Isaac is the most skilled person I've seen with a torch in his hands! Amazing what he can do with gas.

[JonesMetalCraft]

Fast forward through the cutting?! That's like telling the med student to fast forward through the cutting part of a surgery "how to" video! 😁 Awesome repair! Thanks for sharing.

[jakeswelding]

Now my Sunday is perfect thanks to Issac

[peanutbutter]

you always get the tough jobs because you are good at what you do and when you do a job you always make sure that it doesn't breakdown and cause more problems for you and your customer

[arustydodge]

That repair is PROPER, Isaac!👍👍.
Prep and execution, dress right dress. Your videos should be part of instruction in all welding and apprenticeship programs. Can’t say students will be the same caliber as you, but it will sure give them the training model to strive for in the field! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[krazykanux]

I've been welding for over 20 years now nd everytime i watch you working it's like going back to school. Your flame cuts always look awsome and so are your welds.

[GHohn]

This is what master craftsmanship looks like. It’s watching an artist create. Amazing!
