Repair BROKEN Tooth on BIG Excavator Bucket | Gouging & Welding
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2021
- This video is a job we did to repair a broken tooth adapter on a GP bucket for a 50 Ton Hitachi zaxis ZX490 Excavator. The tooth and adapter has completely broken off the bucket. So we need to repair and replace the tooth adapter and tooth. This shows the step by step process to air arc gouge (carbon arc gouging) the broken adapter off and prep the bucket before fitting and welding on the new adapter. We also fit the new tooth and turn the gum guards for a bit of extra life.
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

Good. Morning from the east coast of U.S.
@@DirtForester hey mate thanks for watching
I was going to ask about that crane. A video would be great!
You saved me from asking and looking! Came to find the answer, I guessed 5 Tons and step Dad thought 7 Tons. We both over guessed/bid! Thanks!
Кurtis bald head give me a pie
Every episode is Homeless just so happy.
Fits like a glove. Your weld prep is a valuable lesson for those who are learning the trade.
It is difficult to convince people that prep is so crucial, especially pre-heating. Many think that the welding provides enough heat but they get cold base welds that lead to cracking.
Somethings burning reminded me of the welders creed. If it sounds like bacon cooking you are welding. If it smells like bacon cooking you are on fire. :)
Thats hilarious. I got a good chuckle out of that one.
That was very funny!
We used to throw oily rags down at the feet of new welders on the job ,and sit back and watch the action
Can confirm. I took a slice off my finger with a hotwire many years ago, smelt exactly like bacon.
🤣🤣👍✌️💪💎🙀 , simply a gasser , needed that laugh ...
That crane is majestic and hideous at the same time. I love it
I've been gouging for over 20years. I feel like a surgeon with my setup. It's clean and easy to get 2 parts to mate up for a clean weld. THANK YOU MY FRIEND. MUCH LOVE FROM PENNSYLVANIA, PA,USA. 🤟👍👍☝☝☝
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania….pizza pizza! Seriously though, I’ve lived in PA my whole life and thats the first time I’ve seen “Pennsylvania, PA” lol.
@@jarrettvoyzey9893 Same
Biggest difference I think in Air gougeing and plasma for example is that a plasma is a cutting tool and Air gouge is a carving type of method, easier to get the right amount of metal away. Nice job as usual Kurtis, and Karen is a pro with both footage and editing. Have a nice weekend!
Surprising how many people have asked about it so will definitely do a comparison video. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching each week mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering yeah I really want to see a video showing gouging, plasma and torch and why one over the other for certain situations. I'm still impressed by gouging as I'd never heard of it before watching your videos, but now see it on a bunch of other channels. Makes me wonder if I was just dense and never noticed before lol
Yes carving was a good way to describe it, somewhat like working with heavy artists clay and cleaning up the dags.
Plasma just has a more focused arc compared to gouging which is wider and flat compared to a point
@Alfredo B Bear-Lacis and it's never ending.
*Me at office:
Watching RUclips on my phone while getting my first break.
*Coworker goes by:
"Why are you taking a break now, isn´t it a little early?"
"Well, ther eis that Aussie Guy that makes videos in his shop, and he is good at his kind of work....."
*One Week later....
4 People sitting on the table in our conference room, that is unused at this time of day, watching RUclips with my boss who is an old school welder and construction mechanic.
Life is good, when you have completet your workload for the week and your boss isn´t a total ass..
hahaa that's gold! Thanks for watching mate glad you and the boss can enjoy the vids 😎👍
Please tell me you use the full screen projector in that room.
Soon it might become company policy 🤣
I find it hard to believe, but cool story bro
It's a very good technical information ji yore video in every once to like this s u Kumar from Mumbai India
I'm a welding student right now, I hope to have a shop like that some day and do the same kind of work you do.
You have to prepare yourself for working 7 days morning to night.
The first 10yrs of business are the hardest.
Don't be mistaken into thinking a "boss" does nothing, it's hard Graff and stressful.
But if you have the right mentality, the rewards are worth it.
Hope you do well mate👍

Hello from the Pacific Northwest, USA. Thanks for schooling us on some of the process, as you go! Nice to see how the "Pro's" get 'er done.
Also, a big shout-out to your wife and her excellent job on the videography, actually cinematography work. Some of those shots of the cut and/or weld were surreal and almost looked animated due to the extreme contrast. You are both very good at what you do, thank you for taking the time and effort to share these videos with us!! Absolutely in love with the pup ... what a wonderful friend and companion. Thanks for all!
You and IC welding in Texas are the best I have ever seen doing this type of work. Continued success for you.
I could help thinking about Isaac watching this video. I am reasonably sure he would use air arc gouging in this situation as well.
At the end of the day it’s your company, it’s your job and you do it the way you want, you don’t have to justify your methods to anyone, keep up the good work
Finally so glad to see someone using excellent PPE when doing hot work . The helmet and venting were way above par.
Plasma and torch tip would foul up really easy with that type of cutting. Definitely best choice here.
I work in the Mining industry, I have seen a lot of welding work.. but yours Sir is the definition of perfect. Job well done 👏
Safety Officer running around showing off the new toy. Just one reason I love this channel. You two have the right mix for youtube. People, content, education, safety etc. You explain but don't drone on. Editing is top notch. Thank you for having us along on the ride. Hope it's a long one!
Hey mate thanks for the comment and feedback thats great
Hello.i am a Belgian dentist and i will show this video to my patients in the waitingroom so the will know there problems gonna be solved...........great repair anyway !!!video quality also....greetings froma a colleague.
I did this exact same thing on a smaller bucket just 3 days ago and it was so hard (I’ve only been welding 8 month). You make it look so easy.
I hope you see this and I hope you keep making videos like this. It’s helped me so much
You should have filmed it. A year from now you'd at least be making beer money.
Lucky man! Only 8 months. I've been welding for a few years and I wish I could work repairing things again, stuff like. I studied structural steel but I don't work in welding anymore. I wanna go back to doing repairs and fabrication. I didn't like working with aluminum. Pure 7018 and Flux core/mig for me😎
@@dannyherrera2163could this be done with 7018 stick only?
@@yaykruser flux core is the equivalent to stick welding but for wire feed. I don't remember what type of wire and shielding gas mentioned in this video (mentioned he's doing duo shield) but he mentioned it's a special wire due to previous issues. I've never done excavator repair but I would assume you can do it with 7018 with a larger electrode diameter. 7018 or 8018 would be preferable if you only had a stick welder. Idk I've never done this type of work but if anyone knows what I'm talking about and if I'm wrong please correct me. It's always nice to learn from others or receive some constructive criticism.
Or in more simple words, I would assume yes... lol
@@yaykruser You could do it with stick. I don't know about 7018 might need 8018 or something a little stronger based on what the bucket is made of but sure you could use stick just take 4-5 times longer.
Carbon arc gouging is by far the best method for removing weld from a surface you want saved. People asking just don’t understand it, or haven’t seen it before, have never been around industrial welding.
Great job as usual Kurtis. The digger repairs are a good source of varied work practices, which makes fantastic viewing for us. As I'm medically retired now, one I the things I miss most is the smell of the engineering workshop. Welding and lathe/mill machinery odours are like the sweetest smells to a lifelong engineer.
Brings back memories when I worked at Bucyrus. Fitting and welding the skirts on the dippers.
I've done alot of similar repairs and rebuilds on buckets like these and glad to see a video of real life scenarios instead of just weld coupons. Thanks for sharing your work!
Always look forward to your videos, they are among the best produced, filled with valuable information. North Georgia USA salutes you
Thanks mate for the great comment and support we appreciate that
Hey Chuck… If 1/10th of Our youth had mad skillz like Kurtis…. We’d be sitting pretty over here.
The complexity of such a "simple" device like an excavator bucket is amazing.
As always: very good job and filming!
It's only once you start learning about Heavy Machinery that you begin to understand the technology involved in digging dirt. There are many buckets designed for different tasks and soil/rock types and I only know a postage stamps worth of it all.
Re: the filming. From the shadows that appear from time to time, the video is shot from a phone - amazing quality. We have great toys to play with these days folks.
@@olsmokey yes Karen uses her Samsung phone and also an old iPhone for some of the timelapse
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering That's aaaafu-king amazing. Just terrific quality, and not from the equipment so much but from the creator. The Giggler does a hell of a good job. Of course, she's got a couple of damn good males to record. Oh, btw, I noticed the pin wasn't quite in the center of the counter bore.
I have a suspicion that Dental Students and Prosthetics Technicians are attracted to such bucket repairs, since the anatomy and problem solving skills are compatible with the human skull.
You could re-train as a dentist with those skills.
Just absolutely amazing the quality of work you do !! As a home hobby minor fabricator, I really enjoy watching how pros do it with the correct tools !!
Im amazed that it look exactly like a tooth, roots and all. Learn something everyday :)
Sometimes nature just has the best designs........ millions of years of evolution and all that, lol.
Karen does a fantastic job filming and editing!
thank you 😊
Its incredible the skillset Kurtis demonstrates in so many different repair jobs. Machining knowledge is extraordinary. Great job once again. Bravo to the director as well.
Worked 30 years as a boilermaker/shipyard worker. Spent many hours on a carbon arc. Always enjoy your videos and craftsmanship. Cheers Mate!
Ark air is the only way to go when it comes to heavy gouging like that. I first use ark air in the late 80's and fell in love with it.
I love the way Kurtis doesn't just plonk the adapter on, and say yeah, that's good enough to within 1/4 inch. Not Kurtis. No, he measures it and gets it correct to the millimetre. So impressive. Accuracy and perfection, even where it's not strictly necessary. No wonder his customers use his company in preference to any others.
Wow Kurtis that brings back so many memories. We call that a shank where I live. The cleanest way to cut that off is with air-arc. Great video.
Right on 😎👍
Thank you very much, Kurtis, for enduring those scenes where you explain what you are about to do, what kind of equipment you use, and how you plan your job before doing it (as well as explaining it afterwards). I know, it seems silly and cumbersome to you when it is going on, but it is a treat to us, both professionals and non-professionals alike. Thank you again, we love what you do. Good job. ❤
Hey mate thanks for this comment! I will keep persevering with the talking 🤣👍
The MASTER at work! Clever stuff indeed
Great work, I used to do these replacements all the time glad to see the flip method is worldwide 👍👍👍
People asking why you don't use plasma or an oxy set clearly haven't had to remove just the welds leaving the parent metals behind. Another cracking video
Surprising how many ask so will definitely need to do a comparison video
I have to admit I haven't used carbon arc before but it does look like it gives good control over the metal removal. You also get better access than you would with a big plasma torch. I can see oxy working but it's damn expensive to run.
A lot of us are not welders, machinists, etc so we do not know why somebody would choose one thing over another or the pros and cons of each, especially in different geographical areas.
That's exactly why I would ask that question. I haven't done anything like the repairs Kurt's does. Questions are for gathering information.
I recognise and appreciate the talent and experience you have that goes into a task like this Kurtis. You make it look easy, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways to go seriously wrong.
Just being able to select the appropriate tool, whether cutting or welding is amazing. Getting that level of comfort is great to see.
Yup, he makes it look easy. Not to mention the stress the customer puts on his business. These machines cost hundreds of thousands and costs millions if down for an extended period. Quick turnaround time is crucial.
@@gorillaau Massive shop with alot of big toys.
Karen, the videos especially the outtakes are getting better.

Gouging....Hell Yes! Been patiently waiting for this one Kurtis! Gouge it out, tack on a new one, and layer it back in...impressive work as always! The CEE Australia family make my early Friday mornings exceptional, I'm ready for the weekend now! Thx Kurtis (clean shaven and sporting a fresh hairdo!!), great work again from the internets favorite Karen, and a well earned "Good Boy" to Homey!
Thanks 😊 K
Love the slo-mo machining and the welding shown through the filter! Good stuff!
A buckets day at the dentist. Thanks for the video👍 cheers from 🇨🇦
I know you've probably got a few things up on your whiteboard and this might not be something you're interested in but, depending on if your provider agrees and is actually the one that does it of course, would love to see a video about how your swarf and scrap is recycled. Got all different grades of steel, brass, cutting fluid etc. mixed together. Really curious how they do it.
Hey mate thanks for the suggestion we would've never thought of that so will add it to the vid ideas cheers!
What lots of people don’t know is you can surgically remove the old weld with air arc. Much cleaner, faster, easier which is the name of the game here.
Obviously, you don't know how to work with oxygen, that's why you say that it's not good for cutting or blowing out old welds. I have worked with a gas cutter in shipbuilding and nothing can replace a gas cutter, you just need to know how to work with it. many greetings
Corner shanks are a pain without air-arc
@Ro Herms that a great comment
@@euronaviseuronavis947 I don't know what a gas cutter is, but I've never worked in a ship yard. Oxy- acetylene or oxy-lp I've heard of, never gas cutter. I do know that in a ship yard there are specific jobs though. Are you a grinder, welder, fitter,fabricator , pipe fitter? Or are you a gas cutter which Isn't a ship yard job.
@Aullia Lovely you should really stop this is a good channel that won't put up with this.
Nice to see a pro who clearly takes pride in his work , good onya mate i’m sure you get plenty of return customers
Awesome stuff. Always like to see heavy industry stuff getting sorted. 👍👍👍
Great overview of gouging. Wow, what a lot of welding! And the details you give us about welding wire and such are much appreciated! Cheers.
You're an artist with that gouger dude. Your a master gougologist.
I'm really impressed with how surgical you can be with that thing.
He is simply a master. Your job is amazing.
You win with the most toys!🙌🏻 Learning a lot about the equipment components, along with your welding approaches
The clock was a cool touch gives us a perspective on time!
As a guy that spent 30 ++ years ( now retired in BC ) in the ground engaging game with my own GET supply companies in Canada (Ontario and BC ) supplying Hensley , Esco / Bucyrus , Cat , H&L and many other DRP GET brands . I must say that you do great work that you should be proud of . Watching you brought back memoirs / smells and I even saw you use something I had never seen used before , the scale / slag cleaning power brush which works a Hell of allot better then a power chisel does plus it gets in everywhere . Take Care Downunder's .. WOODY ..
You are a true craftsman.Pleasure to watch!!
Brings me back 5 years plus building Doosan/Geith buckets that size. Would take a good 10 hours or more the weld shell, fittings, adapter, bushings.
Where were you making the geith buckets? Aren’t they an Irish company
@@ferguson20diesel49 Bobcat is where I work and we build them in Minnesota. The shells were tacked in Ireland. They used to weld them their but they moved them to our factory. Now we have them subbed out to North Dakota. Doosan bought Bobcat back in 2008 or 2009. I mainly welded up the clamps or better known as the thumbs.
Your smoother than my dentist doing Teeth replacement
And cheaper 😂👍
Man that safety officer is living the good life. Watched your RUclips forever, and loving it. Keep it up both of you, and stay safe.
Outstanding job
Friday: Check.
Beverage: Check.
CEE: Check.
Commence relaxation.
Enjoy mate! 😎👍🍻
That’s my Friday afternoon schedule too! 😃👍
And there was me thinking Kurtis had become a dentist! Great video guys, thanks.
Thanks for watching mate
Beautiful works.
Brilliant video Kurtis thoroughly enjoyable keep em coming.Those gouging rods are bad ass
เครื่องมือทันสมัย ช่างมีความรู้อธิบายเข้าใจง่าย งานคุณภาพดีเยี่ยม
I always use the gouging rig, when i need to remove large amounts of metal. One thought Kurt, painters tape to hold the catch rings, so you dont put your fingers in the holes to hold the ring in place, great work. Hood down lights on.
Another great job and great video. I really like how you don't cut down your videos into short 15 to 20 minute segments. I rather enjoy the longer videos. Nothing better than a quality video at the end of the day to kick back and relax to. You both do quality work. Thanks again and keep the great content coming. 👍
Great work as always. and great fade out with the fork lift backing out into the dark..
Ready- Yup!!! Cheers from Tucson, Arizona
WOW !! My kind of welding for sure !! Big heavy with pre heat required and multi pass welds..... I just love this kind of work !! Great job guys !! The safety officer is doing his job well also .....he is such a good boy !! Top notch work as always !! 👍👍
It's fascinating that it resembles actual teeth so well, root and all.
Another great job, young shaven Curtis :D
I amazes me , just you in the shop , the amount of work you turn out weekly , how clean you keep things
Fantastic work
Nothing will come close to the performance of those gouging rods fantastic job Kurtis 👍
Great work (once more) by the team. Karen - have to say it is your sense of humor that really sets these videos apart from others I view. Well shot - well done!
The way you made that fit was awesome!
first time seeing a flat air arc rod used! nice
Karen, really good shots around 23:00 you could really see the weld pools and how much material he was putting down on those welds. Really cool to see it that way. Another great video, as always.
It wouldn't be Friday without a new video from you guys. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing it with us. :D
Wow literally an industrial dentist. amazing
Great work!
After listening to your brief description at the opening of why you’re using a certain method over another, I did a satisfying deep dive into methodologies. Your technique seems impeccable.
I love the music choice, always but particularly in this video. Your puppy must have a toy box full of squeaky toys that would put other collections to shame.
As always, thank you for the efforts it requires to put a video together and send it out to the world. It must feel like an unnecessary distraction at times. Best Regards you two.
Hey mate thanks for watching and supporting the channel we appreciate it
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Yeah! Thanks for the extra info in this video on tools, capacities and methodologies. Really added to the as always amazing footage! Great work by all! Thanks for sharing.
I love your poses while gouging from the inside of the bucket. Absolutely working it!
Also, love the shots through the welding mask to see what's going on. Very cool view!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent pre weld preparation!
Great video!
Great videos…😊. You convey “have a plan” and “one step at a time” to achieve the end goal. Always enjoyable… y’all stay safe…
Wow that was a lot of previous questions answered in one video. Nice of you to answer them all. Smart to move the work around too in order to make the job more comfortable to do as opposed to having to contort yourself into an uncomfortable position. Like you said, you've got the equipment. Makes sense to let gravity work for you instead of against you. And terrific camera work as always. Great shots of the gouging and welding.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Air-Arc is by far the most efficient way to gouge/scarf off the old welds, hands down faster and cleaner... Does my heart good to see you weld the same way I do, hot and fast... Never used Inner-Shield wire with a gas overlay.... Might have to try it one day... Cheers from So. California... You're a good man and are blessed with a good lady...
Kurtis, you are a Master at Welding!! I can watch you work all the time. You have incredible talent!!!
Enjoy the verbosity and explanations! I know it takes more time to do it like that, but it helps understand why, for example, you use a particular wire, etc. Keep up the good work!
Cheers mate thanks for the feedback
Really enjoying these videos and learning a lot. Currently going to welding school. It's nice to see the oxy fuel torch and carbon arc cutter having practical applications. Very nice welds with both stick and mig. Gonna learn mig next semester, cant wait.
Im so relieved to see you using the Respirator
You are very good professional sir ! Congratulations !
It's 3AM I've been waiting for this one, getting ready to do the same job in my shop.
Yewww 😎👊💥 hope it goes well for you mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering the job is not near as big as the one you done, still alot of welding.
Dude! You make gouging look sooo easy. I've tried gouging before and it's been a train wreck. You're an artist with that thing. Gouge on! Lol
Amazing work
Beautiful job
I love how homeless has to show mum his new toy.
He was very happy with his new toy 😁
He is always happy with his new toys, like all H&S officers it can be a stressful environment.
Love how you get the same questions every time you bust out the arc gouger. It's about control versus time. Plasma would take forever and you'd go through a hundred contact tips and oxy/fuel torch would take so much gas to sink heat into something that big. And if you're not trying to sever and just trying to "dig" that metal out, carbon arc is the way. That electric arc is so much more efficient in terms of watt for watt energy consumed. A torch has to get so much metal hot before it hits the autoignition temp.
Repent to Jesus Christ!
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”

Hello ,bonjour à vous et à Curtis aussi ! Merci pour la vidéo ,bon travail .vos gestes sont explicites...Bravo !! 👏

Yes, any operational details and comparisons will be most appreciated. Always fascinating to see big boys toys in operation
G’day Kurtis and Karen, that a big bucket and it’s amazing how much of abuse that front edge takes, you see operators trying to peel rock out with 1 or 2 teeth and you always think it going to roll the tooth out not the rock, awesome job mate as always, have a great weekend, cheers
Hey Matty hope you're having a good weekend down there mate. It's amazing what abuse some machines deal with the operator is probably happy to have the ripper tooth fixed 🤣 Looking forward to the Part 3 of your wobbler engine 😎👍
