There’s nothing better than burning 7018 rods, spent many a hour welding on buckets, hooks, mounting flanges, cutting edges, you name it and it’s fun and challenging
Morning fellas. Good show. Mike is a great mentor, and you are lucky to have him as a friend. You'll catch on to the welding Joe, keep trying. Congratulations to your sister.
Thank you Kenny! This is a fun and informative day for sure. I have lots to learn and cannot wait to start on my own. Hope you are well this weekend and see you soon!
Great job Mike👍🏻 "stick" welding is definitely the most versatile and a great process to have atleast a basic understanding of. LO-HI is not the easiest to learn striking an arc with, so a great starting point there Joe! Some 1/4" steel and ⅛ 6010/6011 @ around 90-110 amps is a great place to learn striking an arc IMO.
@aaronpowell4885 are you saying Mike started me out with something a tad more difficult???? hahahaha... that is a great way to break someone in for sure!
Thanks for watching and sharing. Did your dealer install welded ones or both on ones? Did they install two or three? Also, one last question did they install them in line with the loader or on the edge of the bucket?
You did a good job but that hat thing looks silly lol. If you wear ear plugs, which you should be while grinding anyway you can skip the hat, they'll keep the hot slag out of your ears.
@nseric1233 lol they are silly looking. They are just part of the normal PPE welders wear around here. The flap is to cover your ear the rest of it is to keep splatters from landing on your head. I agree I do wear ear plugs when grinding. Not so much when welding but that would help. Unless I'm filming then I need to be able to talk back and forth lol. Thanks for being here.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead PPE is different everywhere. At my work the welders wear a shield that clips to their hard hat and ear plugs. It keeps you pretty well covered.
The other skill id recommend is getting comfortable with an acetylene torch. Theyre very handy for dealing with metal fatigue in tools... Especially overworked cutting edges on buckets, or box blades, etc. need to gouge out the crack with a grinder usually, but sometimes the torch is the best tool. Its also good for gouging out weld in tight places too. Very handy tool, almost as nice as a plasma cutter.
@Rumblestrip I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and then make such a useful suggestion. Once I get a shop setup, I really want to invest in all of this stuff and learn it all. The Oxy Acetylene torch is all I have every welded with back in the day and it was VERY fun. I was using it on sheetmetal back in the day.
Great job on hooks thats a good idea im no pro at welding but i practiced on flat scrap pieces just running beeds to get comfortable getting it going and sometimes i still have trouble
Great video young men!! Well you did better than i can I'm 69 year's old welded a little over the year's but always had a professional welder neighbour to do my weddin move to a new town 5 year's ago now i had to learn how to do my own weldin can make it hold but looks like chicken poop. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun
Should have listened to your dad Joe! I enjoyed the laughter when he asked you to do it though. Glad to see the old stick welding get some love. Makes me feel good. I mig almost everything but have an old Wilton 4" machinist vise I need to weld up an imperfection where someone has already tried. Not structural. I guess I have to get a temp stick and heat it with a torch to whatever temp. Weld it up, and put it in a steel bucket and pour sand in until submerged to slow cool it. If there's any experts on here please chime in. I forgot the rod I need and the temp to pre heat.
hahaha! Thank you for stopping by again friend. Your project sounds pretty darn cool and hope it turns out just as you wish sir! I wish I knew what the heck you were talking about!
If it is cast it will be a high nickle rod. You can also submerge it in vermiculite. Your basically just wanting it to slow cool. Sounds like cast to me. I dont remember the rod off the top of my head. Im thinking itll need to be somewhere heated up around 400-500 deg when you weld it and then slow cool it so it dont crack.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead Thanks Rusty! Now I need to find a temperature testing stick. Vermiculite. Is that the stuff people used to insulate their houses with in the olden days? I'll type it in and see if I can find some.
Man Mr Russ i am ready for one. I have too many projects i could use lumber foe right now. If Joe let's me use his he may not be able to run me off. I'm gonna have to bring him a box of blades.
Good job main thing Joe just get you some scrap metal and practice practice practice before you weld anything important would be the best advice I could give nice to see you learning to weld
I have a technical question. In America you have 110 volts in the normal house installation, compared to 230 volts in Europe. What about three-phase current? Do you also have 400 volts like in Europe? Because my welding machine runs on 400 volts.
Depending on the application. We do have 3 phase 480 volt. Most of the US houses run 110-120v / 60hz. For their normal appliances. 220v single phase for larger appliances like cook tops, dryers and air conditioners. The 3 phase is used for in industrial settings. They have 3 phase 220v, 480v. At my work alot of motors are eaither 3 phase 480v or 3 phase 4160v. The 4160v are very large motors. The plant next to me runs motors that are 3 phase 6900v
@bravo5997 yes most Receptacles and common household items are just 110V here in the states. I do not currently have the option to have 3 phase at my property as we only have a single phase line. They are however doing a buildout because there has been additional load requirements going in and they are putting 3 phase in front of my home. Maybe someday I will utilize it in a shop.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I'm still watching it , I want to get a pancake , I hate light glair behind me , I'm constantly putting coats over my head , I did just get a cover but haven't welded with it yet
Love the sound of those freedom seeds being flung in the background! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
So do i
@srsatlaf4730 lots of fun for sure! Enjoy living in a free state!

Thank you buddy! Cannot wait to learn more about this stuff for sure. I have no clue about any of this stuff!

Morning Mr Kenny.
Thank you Kenny! This is a fun and informative day for sure. I have lots to learn and cannot wait to start on my own. Hope you are well this weekend and see you soon!
I've welded a lot over time and practice and welding regularly makes all the difference in the world.
It's definitely a skill to keep practicing on
@WilleysFirewood this is a skill I am in desperate need of for sure! This start was a bit rough but I think I can get something going!
👍👍 nice work RG!
Thank you CF
@crazyfeller5704 Agreed!
That first weld with a stick is brutal. Brings back memories. We've all been there
Yes we have. It's not as easy as it looks but once you get the hand of it you have it
@Man-Time thank you for watching and having sympathy for me.... hahahaha

Hi Aarron. It is a great skill to learn. I'm by far not the best welder i know but I can get by. I think Joe is going to pick it up quickly
@aaronpowell4885 are you saying Mike started me out with something a tad more difficult???? hahahaha... that is a great way to break someone in for sure!
@@oakiewoodsman 😁👍🏻
You will love these. I had the dealer put mine on when I bought my tractor. Very happy and use them often
Thanks for watching and sharing. Did your dealer install welded ones or both on ones? Did they install two or three? Also, one last question did they install them in line with the loader or on the edge of the bucket?
@ They are welded on just outside of the loader arms but not close to the edge. I just have the two. Interested to see how you use the center hook
A great application for the center hook is with something like a log tong. Nice to be able to dangle it right below the bucket in the middle!
These r my favorite kind of videos
Mine too
@toddcaskey9984 this was a good one and a fun one. One of my favs as well. I just wish the viewers found this sort of video. Fingers crossed!
Great Job putting this together. Lots of great information.
Thank you for filming it with me!
I enjoyed getting to do this. I enjoy welding. I know im not a professional welder but its still something i enjoy doing around the farm
Great skill to have!

You will use those hooks a ton! I took welding in high school so I can somewhat weld lol!
Lol Mr Ted it's a great skill to know how to do it.
@tedneitzel I will for sure sir!
This was a fun day. Video turned out great Mr Joe
Thank you for helping make it great! You have lots to share and it was a fun edit actually
Great job on hooks thats a good idea im no pro at welding but i practiced on flat scrap pieces just running beeds to get comfortable getting it going and sometimes i still have trouble
It's a great skill to have. We all start somewhere and it just takes practice like you said.
@ being on a farm teaches u alot you do a little of every trade enjoy yalls channels
@MitchellsBackyardLogging yes it does. I wouldn't have it any other way.
