Fair play 👏🏻👏🏻 I have taken much easier jobs to a tractor dealership in the past and one mechanic there acted like its a big job to get a sheared bolt out almost to the point that I thought the machine was a right off. Luckily another one there was happy to do it for me and did it in no time. Your a great inspiration showing the next generation how to get it done! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
damn this is a better show compared to anything on TV or Cinema. You have 3 guys in the middle of no where, fixing some huge dirty broken machinery with a camera guy on a SUNDAY!
Well done mate. I was reminded of my earlier days as a Cat mechanic. Did a lot of field service in remote areas. I was particularly impressed with the training and experience you shared with the young fellow. The old school guy.
@@terrywilder9 The entire video I had this assumption that the repair done here was supposed to be temporary. When doing "shit in pants"-tier field repair without spare parts or time, you just do what ever gets the machine running asap, and holds until you have time for proper maintenance..
Cool to see how you guys do field service in a different country. In the US we have service trucks with cranes and compressors ect. It’s cool to see how much you boys can pack in a van.
There is worldwide content on Plant fitters and the various working practices on the web but it is so gratifying to hear a true east lancashire accent and supreme professionalism for a change .
Retired and worked in the sand/gravel and blacktop industry for 30 + years, this takes me back to happy days! Enjoyed this trade and couldn't think of doing anything else. Famous line also here in USA- 'keep an eye on it' !! Good job mates!
This looks like exhausting work in addition to the cold, rain, mud and remote location. Not many repair men would want this king of job. Hats off to you both, well done!
Just stumbled across your content. Great to find a UK channel doing what you do. Great education and demonstration of how to fix jobs like this. I loved your energy, positive attitude and determination to beat that. Lesser men would have given up and run. Very professional Sir.
Great video, and credit to Director for a fantastic outro. Reminded me of the Gold Rush series on Discovery. Now that would be one to watch Welderfabber and Tony Beets.
This should be sent to all the schools to show the younger generation of carriers in the industry and the joy you get when you achieve a great result like this well done for saving the hub just now a getting the machine back to work 😊
These field welders, mechanics and technicians have continued where we left off and they do the job even better. These men remind me of the ones I worked with on the pipeline back in the mid-late 60's.......hardcore all business, 10, 12, even 16 hour days till the goal was reached out there on the right of way.
Canadian millwright here, really enjoyed your job there! Excellent work! I was in the BC sawmill industry for years both fabbing and operating. Body kind of wore out in my 50s and retrained into a safety officer. You do quality work and I love how you are passing on those habits to your apprentices.
Really love watching your channel. It takes me back to when my dad worked in the forestry industry as an engineer and harvester of timber. I remember my dad knocking, tapping around broken off lugs in the late 80s using a punch on the nor car forwarder. Replacing a broken wheel motor, some of my best memories going to work with my dad on weekends and holidays. He taught me so much, no welder then in the middle of the forestry, would of made the job so much quicker. Awesome watching you work, and your right hand man 😊
Wow ! I was a mechanic for 50+ years on the road , forklifts, and other equipment, I remember some jobs , this one was a bummer but you chaps got it done ! Not many men will do this kind of work , take care be well !
Really enjoyed this video, one of the few people with manager in their job title who seems more than happy to get stuck in and show people how it’s meant to be done!
It's great to see a job done by somebody that knows what they are doing, especially under all the pressures of the situation, well done gents. Andy ex-JCB
I've only seen this a few times but really enjoyed, this is something a field I wish I got into. This is the kind of dirty job I would enjoy coming home at the end of the day with caked on mud. Working out of a well equip truck with hydraulic tools and good welder. Something my father worked on for a company called Enerpac.
Really good video bazz. Great tutorial for someone needing to remove sheared bolts and was surprised to see the wear on the hub and how he welded it to build it up. Enjoyed.
Hi Baz loving your chronicles of a Faber welder , interesting insight to a very busy job . Also fixing that 35T Excavator massive job ,and as Daniel would say @Asville u are serious !!💪great effort 😎
Great video and I like your teaching style. Allowing your mate to run the digger after the fix was first class...especially on a Sunday up on the moor!!!
Liked, subscribed and notified! Thank you, that was the first episode of Welderfabber that I've watched, and I'm thoroughly impressed. Very entertaining and informative, not only do you guys work well & demonstrate great skill and teamwork, but your videography and editing is spot on too! I also learned a few things as well. Well done & thank you again!
I appreciate hard work, having had a lifetime of doing it. Having started on D8 Cats in 70 realize the size of the fasteners involved. I wonder why you didn’t have a one inch drive power wrench- Milwaukee makes a great battery powered one, and take your pick of air powered, a number are available. Secondary is the point of forcing questionable fasteners through the hub. Carbide eats steel, either drill bits or end mills would have gone straight through the bolts. Lubricant is designed to penetrate the space between the threads of the fasteners and the threads of in this case, the hub of what y’all call a “Digger “ and we associate with an Excavator. You didn’t soak both sides immediately upon arrival, followed by heat to expand the sprocket ( which was worn severely and you had a replacement on hand, though heat would not have made it compromised)- followed by a couple of repeated soak, heat cycles. I would suggest if similar conditions reoccur, my easier steps would be to soak, heat, repeat at least two or three times, drill at least half of bolt diameter, followed by a larger left hand drill bit. If they are not moving, extractors are available in many sizes. The ones that look splined are the best, but I am sure that you have a favorite- if still you have recalcitrant hard to get along with subjects….left hand taps are next. A selection of sizes applicable to the machine you are working on should be included in the toolkit of your service vehicle. And again, the best grade bolts for the size of the taps in the same special needs toolbox. Tap it, run the bolt in, heat surrounding area, remove the bolt. I know, welding a nut is kinda routine practice…but when faced with a job like you walked onto, having a special kit makes life a LOT easier. Iffn you have gotten this far- please please understand that I am not criticizing your work, skills, or obviously end result. Sharing experience gained by working on what at the time were Big Cats, diesel trucks, farm equipment of many varieties involving very challenging repairs, building agricultural aerial application equipment ( including having to be licensed by the Federal Government) helicopters, aircraft, large fishing vessels, so I am making suggestions, passing along hard earned experience for those young enough to both utilize and hopefully appreciate my efforts in passing it along. Cheers Mate! AND you deserve a pint or three for the memory of a Hard Days Work😂
RUclips just fed your channel to me. As an ex coal miner you just took me back to when our machines such as the Dosco Road header and the Titan Road header ect broke down and we'd all muck in to do these type of repairs. Unfortunately we rarely had air tools to undo and re thread large bolts .It was a case of using ones initiatives and brute force. Oh the good old days ,hey ? Listening to you're accent, you're just over the hillsides from me in the Clay Cross area. Anyway subbed to your channel duck. Looking forwards to many hours of viewing. I'm sure you was taught the same as I was. Machines don't stop for blood and bones. Take care duck.
What a job I'm impressed, job well done. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming look forward to see more. I like seeing a man that really knows what his doing at work.
Interesting repair and an impressive van setup 👍 I was expecting to see a few big dowels on that huge drive gear ⚙️ every days a school day. Good job lads
The biggest problem is bolts coming loose... they wont shear if they are tightened up to the proper torque (which should be checked periodically) ... as usual, probably zero maintenance, run it til it stops then theres a panic onsite to get it fixed...🙄😒
I have been using this method to remove broken bolts from cars for 25 years. Probably the most useful thing by far that i have used a mig welder for....game changer. About q0 years ago ibstarted welding a washer to the broken bolt first then a nut... Thatis the best recipe.
Glad I found this , I have to change sprockets and chains on my old EX60, this covered just about everything , I reckon young fella is lucky to be learning from you . Cheers
Used to work as a plant electrician for wimpey construction , often spent my days working with plant fitters and welders,helping them , they helping me ,watching your video took me bak there if just for a short time, happy days, thanks mate , good luck, mick
Hey baz as a local rossendale lad your sure putting bacup out there on the map keep up the excellent work Legend 🙌 p.s was brilliant to see the young ones having fun on machines in Isle of Man got to encourage the youth of today 🙌. Big shout to the fox team for jumping in at last minute for ashville to help out on the LH60 🙌
Great video Baz, explained every step. Operator needs a talking to, this didn’t just happen and the state of the trackframe shows that more care is needed. Has the undercarriage been repaired recently? Seems odd that a sprocket would come loose at 7000hrs
Hi baz as a machine operator I find your videos informative and educational so I can see what to look out for to prevent breakdowns,how many hours do you work per week on average great videos cheers baz and your team
You can't beat experience and knowledge and you have loads of both. Another superb job Baz congrats to you and your team of guys they have a superb boss to learn from. Mr Paul Fox knows you are the main man for the job👍👍

AvE on RUclips would be proud of how well Cal used his "safety squints" as you were striking the arc!! New Subscriber!! p.s., Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering could weld that hub up & turn 'er down to spec and fix the bolt holes as well, but the shipping to Australia would be prohibitive!!
Just a thought for anyone in a similarly situation. This is a prime candidate for a grinder fixture. Build the weld up. Get it somewhat close with a hand grinder. Then mount the hand grinder on a welded fixture that’s attached to the spider frame. Turn the machine on and start spinning it. You can get it really freakin close like that. If your setup is good enough. You can bring it back to dam near factory spec if not perfect. Just depends on the fixture and what type of grinding wheels you have available. Yes it’s slow going. But still way faster then a total disassembly and machining then reassembly.
@@welderfabber oh for sure ! I totally agree. Just figured it was something someone in that position may have not thought of. You did the right thing 100% in that instance!
Baz your skill sets and commitment to getting the job done is second to none and the knowledge as to how to overcome any problem is very very impressive , you must be foxes biggest asset and most valued employee and you deserve a raise mate . Another impressive video again from welderfabber nice one Baz, i can't wait for the next video you never fail to entertain and impress 🎉🎉
Im a time served Joiner but operate 360's nowaday and do my homers when i can. I have total respect for plant fitters/engineers in general. I have met a few in the 12 years i have worked in the plant game some happy some moody but all are top notch at there game.
That reminds me of a sort of trophy. The supercharger on a 12 cylinder Fairbanks-Morse diesel “sneezed.” Folks were chiseling pieces of aluminum housing apart bigger than bricks (the blower is about 3,500 pounds) to see if the engine could still be barred over. When the ship returned to home port and what was left of the blower was removed all twelve 3/4 inch bolts that held the drive gear to the outer drive hub were sheared off, but still lockwired together in a circle! The ship’s Main Propulsion Assistant kept them as a trophy.
Great job done in good time. I’ve watched a lot of American content of this ilk, very refreshing to see we can do it just as good. Keep up the good work.
fantastic job done and see you have a phil weeks warrior mig welder had mine for 7 years and its the best thing I ever bought steve S&G mini digger ( I make stuff from old sprocket so if you ever get worn out ones would buy them off you cheers ) you are a true old school fab guy
Fair play, I had to get broken bolts out, but worked with a guy, who only used stainless steel rods. Excellent with the heat and the weld build up. Do all the tracks have a master pin alot easier than a track pin press. I learned some more today
I used to do this type of work stopped doing it 15 years ago due to injuries but it’s an enjoyable job and you lads do it proper well done and keep up the good work
