- Hey guys, sorry for the delay. Here is the 2nd part of the Excavator boom repair from my previous post. Just got back from Fabtech Expo in Atlanta, thus the delayed upload. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for the support.
Your understanding of metal movement and welding skills are incredible. Thanks for taking us along.
No problem mate!
You are far from a rookie!

What a great piece of work.
320 is the common excavator cat builds
Bravo.bravo!
That was AWESOME
NEVER apologize for a long video! Personally, I wish they were all this long or longer. I never tire of watching a master at work!
Agree 100 percent!
That’s how it should be ☝🏻
Agreed
AGREE!!! I believe the only part of making a longer video is loading it up on here. There may be some holdups there, plus it takes him longer to upload.
Agreed! If anyone doesn't enjoy the long format they don't enjoy the work either... So informative, thank you for taking the time to create it! What a great job too!
Your problem solving ability is just as impressive as your welding. Maestro incomparable!
These jobs will make a man out of person, the sense of satisfaction when you finish is priceless. The customers will have no idea of the skill involved getting it done and never will, that's fine I've always done these for myself. thanks for the content and greetings from NJ
I can watch you all day, I'm learning alot just from watching you do this. You say it's hard, I know its hard, but you make it look so easy and not a big deal to do. But man what a job to do this, you have skills and knowledge way beyond myself. Great job, keep up the great work.
I really enjoy your work and your confidence mixed with a sense of humility. You sir are an artist.
It was very unfortunate that your son was in school at this particular time. I say this, inasmuch, as this job would have been a good example of how to deal with opposing stress points in metal and how to relieve the tension from the various stress points and get straight welds even with tension on the metal. Thank you for the video it was a really good one to watch.
Absolutely amazing. Your skill with a torch and your engineering ability is beyond comprehension. Great job and video!!!
Nice work as usual, thanks. Oh, nobody minds long videos from you. Trust me........
Amazing as usual Isaac. Crazy mad skills. They only come from years of experience!
Didn't mind the length at all. The plasma is impressive and it's always been my go-to. I'm hoping you can do updates as per costs. The torch is about $1800 and consumables aren't cheap. You can buy a lot of gas for that money.
It's interesting to see your thinking and reasoning behind each single weld. Things like extending a weld beyond the new plate section despite old weld being there. I guess past problems have taught you some wise moves.
really enjoyed the video 👍.
you mentioned it being a long video... to me there's nothing wrong with long videos... there's a process to to complete the repair... and I understand that at times it's not going to fit in a smaller time frame to show everything that is required to be done and tell a complete story.
again I enjoyed the video, thank you for showing me what it takes to make this kind of repair.
lastly, looking forward to the next one 👍😁
That's a seriously impressive repair. It's a privilege to be taken along with you on these jobs. I personally enjoy the longer videos.
There's a reason why you are always busy. Because you are able to fix the problem instead of just replacing a part. With the world wide supply chain issue, the now common just in time parts supply model doesn't work. You get equipment running again instead of waiting for parts to be switched out. We get to watch over your shoulder and learn/enjoy your process & thinking.
What a mess! But your thought process was right on, and it looked great in the end! Was not to long! Great video series!
Very interesting as usual. Didnt find it to long to be honest. Look forward to your next repair challenge.
Awesome Craftsmanship !
Kudos from Western Pennsylvania 🇺🇸
Look like your liking the long handle plasma, might have to get one.
I am!
Long video? As each video ends I wish it was longer! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your thought process and its execution, I'm always amazed when the jobs finished. Wish I was there in person!
Outstanding Issac and than you!
Hey Issac, that sucker was a real challenge!! I think it's hard for some people to understand you can't just run to the store and get a new one. Great job getting it back making money! Good thing your dad showed up to help you through the hard parts!!:)
Actually we have them in stock at cat in slc utah 320 is most common excavator you do not want to see the bill for a new boom though
@@jeremyhanna3852 I have no idea, but I’d take a wild guess at 55 K US??? Edit. Make that $75 K and I bet I’m still way low!
As a carpenter, I can identify with throwing my hammer at my shins way more often than I'd like to admit 😅
Great job again Isaac, you always make it look so easy
Ike don't worry about the video being long we watch for knowledge and enjoyment and entertainment purposes so you do what you do. Nice job my friend.
Absolutely remarkable that the two bearing lined up to allow for the pin fit!
I really was expecting you having to line bore.
There’s nothing worst than making a start on an “easy”project only to find unexpected extra work!
Good results. I stuck with the excellent “long”video to the end 👍UK
Another day, another banana (OK, same one); lotsa cuttin', weldin'... Fun to watch, although not necessarily the same to do the actual work. But at any rate I'm doing my part (watching, that is) as best as I can ;-)
I have some experience with this kind of work, and while I never worked on anything even remotely "so big", I do have a taste of this stuff - the smell, the dust, the gruelling physical work. (But hey, it always did wonders to the evening beer - it ALWAYS tasted great after it ;-)
Watching your videos is not only about "entertaining spark show" - the most interesting part is figuring out how to tackle the problem at hands, while keeping in mind there's more than one way to skin a cat. Cheers, Isaac!
Very difficult job to do
As always you make it look easy nice work
Cheers from Nova Scotia
It never ceases to amaze me how a machine that size can be destroyed and someone like you can make it better than new again. You should never apologize for doing a job correctly no matter how long it takes. The video is not too long and of very good quality and informative for all.
That plasma torch is the Bomb, great asset to your hoarde and the savings on acetylene gas and oxygen tanks will pay for the rig.
As usual great video and showing of your master craftsman skills 👌
I don't mind the longer videos. I learn something new every time. Thank You for the great channel and keep up the great work!
I don't know a darn thing about welding but when I watch your videos I'm totally fascinated! The way you explain things makes it make sense to my non welding mind. Good job!
Yeh and the pin fitted after all that work . I do wonder if any of your customers actually watch these and get those "ooh that's mine " moments. Its surprising how badly damaged some can be and just look a bit more than bent plate and popped welds . Great little journey on this and I'm sure others wouldn't mind how long or how many part the videos are in . The new torch is coming along bit more playing and your gonna love that torch as much as the gas one . Excellent skills as always many thanks .
Isaac the work you do is magic. Your son is so lucky to learn from the best of the best.😊😊😊
Finally got to watch part 2. Very impressed with the corrections made so pin floated smoothly as should be verses hammered in. Just as good as original design if not better. Having correct tools and knowledge plus knowing how to use them is your specialty. 5 stars.
Amazing how you kept the pin bore straight with all the welding. There's a guy that knows what he is doing 👍
That was a tough one. Excellent job.
Keep the videos coming, some of us who didnt have the generational knowledge handed down to us, learn an extensive amount from your content. Each video is filled with little tips and tricks whether you verbally explain them or not. Simply watching you work is a learning experience. Amazing job buddy
Nice job 👍. Thanks for getting me off my ass to finish my project today!👍
Epic job, excellent workmanship, well done
Good job, I like the ingenuity that went into the repair….wasn’t easy and they did that thing dirty but you knocked it out 👊🏽
Ah, the old throw the sledge at the ground trick. Something all field welders are proficient at.
You should be well paid for your knowledge let alone for your welding skills. Well done !!!!
So long oxy ace now that you have the long Hypertherm torch. Sweet machine.
Congratulations on the free pin in the finished product. After the initial success of freeing up the pin, that much welding could have caused the part to seize again. You kept the pin as free at the end, after all that "hot melt gluing, " as when you freed it up. Don't try that at home, folks!
Another awesome job. Not bad for a rookie indeed!
Please don't apologize for lengthy videos, I for one enjoy them.
I really admire this guy everything that he experience is true I'm also a fabricator and an electrian a hydraulic technician that if u weld a bushing with pin in it it's very difficult for the pin to remove after welding because I have experience that before in removing a 50 ton Hyd.cylinder I even fabricated a tosser plus puller by extracting the 3.5 inch pin so disgusting and time consumming
FULL WATCH RETIRED GOT FILMS IN BACKGROUND playing long ones hear the projects great work
You have done some hard jobs but this was the big daddy of hard. So much going on and when that pin slid in I was impressed. What a performance!!
Awesome job. Very interesting. Lots of information
Oh man the Crap you run into out in the field, Had one job where someone had done exactly what you stated about Not welding with pin in place , well it Spaulded the bushing in several place where the Arc jumped the gap between the pin & bushing which was very clear to see when disassembled this of course lead to bushing failure as well as chewed up the pin , man that was a Bear of a job as the pin ended up looking like a Crankshaft every time or should I say the rare occasion they tried to grease it as Im sure it was Squeaking away . Ended up line boring the machine at the job site ( that's in the field to me ) . We didn't always have every tool on the truck at the time cause you just never know what your going to run into at the job site I've had to sledgehammer many a bushing in using a old one to hit against, or having to weld up the housing an use a handheld rotary tool to grind the surface back down - aka field engineering,
On video 1 I sat there thinking how many people I know would have driven that pin in and said 'it will wear in" lol.. What a sign of a quality repair. With all your experience with these ultra harsh situations you should design and farm out the manufacturer of the RAMBO BOOM REPLACEMENT.. I can only imagine these repairs are the start of the end. Maybe people would buy a bare machine with your Rambo BOOM... lol
Haha, that would be something ehh?
@@ICWeld Im sure you know the failure points and stresses inside and out. I guess maybe the only option would be to run the entire lower section out of solids or some other unrealistic solution too cost prohibitive. Would seem better to build a better boom even though OEM's provide jobs for repair.
You'd think they'd offer a hammer boom or something with a bunch of internal stiffening that would help.
More than a challenge - nightmare maybe?! Always amazed at your skill and ingenuity - joy to see it all happen - making the impossible, possible. :) That new torch BTW - excellent tool.
I’m impressed with how you plan out the work. I’m also impressed with the knowledge in engineering and metallurgy. It’s one thing to burn rod, but another to make a repair which holds up, or in many cases improves on the original design.
Most of the time you are handed a shit sandwich!!! It’s amazing the things that you do with that sandwich!! Another great job sir👍🇺🇸
I enjoyed it all. It could have been longer and it would've been fine. Great job. Thanks for showing how nicely the pin works at the end, too. Who was your "helper"?
Pops
Man I enjoy your work you are a craftsman! So satisfying when the pin works ! I learned the hard way :( 😢lol
That is what work looks like!!!
That torch your favorite toy.😄😄
When those of us with hands on skills acquired over a lifetime retire like I have, where are the replacements for our positions? The younger generation aren’t interested in getting dirty, they’d rather be in front of a computer.
Really good stuff. You are now "the banana repairman the busiest guy in town".
🍌👍
At 40:20 WHATABURGER!!!!!!!!!!! 😋😋😋🍔🍔🍔🍔
I think these bananas are my favorite thing to watch you work on. Thanks for providing these videos!
no such thing as too long of videos for us! the longer the better, "thats what she said" 😂😂😂
channel growing rapid up, I follow this channel since a year ago. awesome information in every video, congratulation
A good thing to remember is, when you beef up one part of somthing it puts the stress on another part of the piece , so something will break eventually but thanks so much for your vids
VERY GOOD JOB !!! Mr I C Weid I like very mutch . Alban
Most excellent! It's like a battleplan and that's how you win the war. Thanks!!
I really don’t mind longer videos, I like your videos and your workmanship is second to none.
Nothing worse than taking a job, making promises and then running into unforeseen problems.
I love everything you video on your channel my friend. You are one of the best at what you do and how you do it. Keep up the great work.
Love your videos looking forward to part 2 of your friend , Milton's truck
exelente trabajo buey saludos desde PERU sur de america de n colega de la soldadura de mantenimiento en maquinaria pesada
I would've plated over the inside and outside since it's so weak from factory
You good Isaac 👍
Awesome Job IC!
Enjoy watching you critical think.
Thank You for taking the extra time to teach & sharing your skills.
What a great repair. I’d have you work on my machinery any day if you were nearby.
Great work Isaac. Video length was fine, plenty of good content.
Outstanding work as usual. Definitely a bit of a challenge on this one. But every job brings its own issues. Thanks very much for sharing.
32:48 - 32:59 - the fastest welding the world has ever seen ;-)
Please don't apologize for the long videos, super excellent content!
🌏🇹🇭❤️🙏⚒️🔧ขอบคุณสิ่งที่หน้ารู้ครับ🗜️
Just as good this time as the last time. Hope all is well with you and your family!@!!
It is amazing how poor the quality of factory welds and materials are that tear up so easily
Maybe you don't like long videos but we like long videos I know it's not all about us but kinda 🍦
Excellent work, excellent video. Love the long format ones.
Brilliant work young man. No need to apologize for video length, l for one watched every second, enjoyed every minute and learned from the content.
I doff my cap to you young man, from cold North Yorkshire in ye olde England, UK!
Your customers are lucky to have someone with your skills, knowledge and experience available. Your viewers, like me, are lucky to have someone like you willing to take the time to share your and knowledge with us. Thanks for taking time to share and explain the reasons why you do things the way you do. BTW, your long videos don't seem long because you take time to explain whats happening along the way.
Greetings and thanks from Wyoming
Cat is disappointing.....older machines didn't peel apart like this
Nicely done lots of work to do it right. But that’s always the way to do it. And great tips for some watching with less experience. Who may one day find themselves needing to do a big welding repair like this
I'm 98% sure surgeons watch this channel to learn techniques
What a project. Good thing Isaac has the skills needed to tackle such a problematic job.
Issac you are a magical person with those torch, gas or plasma . I hope the customer appreciated all the work you've done. 😉😁
Awesome work as always, and I don't mind how long the videos are I always learn something even if it is to go with it eve when there might be a small opps.
last of a dying breed the video does not show the amount of time this actually takes
Good video. I noticed the old paint turns red when it gets too hot. Just saying.
Man loved this longer video! - v appreciate the work and editing! I don't think anyone would complain about the vid been too long
Super awesome . You saved that guy a lot of money . Your video's are informative , entertaining and very educational .
