Worked for a logging outfit in Washington who ran 3 to 4 jd 650s. Lot of road building lot of rock and lot of stumps. We had the C-frames all cracked and busted on 3 650s. Boss had a shop build new C frames out of steel like 3 times thicker. They came in 8 pieces all bent and curved to specs tops bottoms inner and outer sides for each side 8 pieces total for one C frame then our welders assembled and welded and attached the center tower assembly and other towers for lifting etc. Took alot of time and alot of welding. But they were unbreakable after that, from those dozers. I know he did use the beefy corner bits also.
Nice video, we got our 35g mini excavator from you guys. We enjoyed seeing your shop and we enjoyed shopping with y’all! We also have a couple videos with our 35g in them. Have a good one and keep the videos rolling! Copper Barn Homestead! ❤️
WOW what an interesting video. I can’t believe the amount of force it had to take to bend those corners backwards on that blade….and being so thick. Unbelievable. I didn’t know that can happen to an all steel blade. That’s crazy. I probably wouldn’t have believed that was possible without seeing it for myself.
When you took that plate from the plaz cutter to the dozer you walked by what looked to a 1940’s era monarch lathe with about 16- 18” swing and a 6 foot bed. If it is you have got one of best manual lathes made. I machined a lot parts on one.
You know young man I still have all my machine shop tools from my days in a jobber shop. Pretty extensive collection of tools. 1-12” micrometers, 1- 24” I.D. Micrometer, depth mics, calipers just to mention a few. Would you be interested in them? I kept them because there was no one interested in them when I retired from the industry. It would be really comforting to know they were put back to work by someone who could use them. Let me know if you might be interested, I would even take the time to drive down from Wisconsin to do a show and tell. Probably wouldn’t be till next spring though.
Will do sir, I will contact you next spring when the weather breaks and see what we can arrange. Mean time keep the vids coming, looking forward to them.
@@C_CEQUIPMENT yes I know I thought they all have wear I thought john deere make it so it all new cheaper as you cut it apart the when welding the blade and bolt on the cutting edge
Absolutely yes more videos, complete repairs blades, frames work , any retrofit. Thanks Clint 😊

Great video, never knew you guys had a cnc cutter table. Definitely look forward to more how to video's. Thanks for the great content.
thanks
Love your videos. Keep'em coming! Thanks for sharing.
Great seeing behind the scenes
Thanks

Your right indeed
It’s a 1942 model
I have one at the old shop made in 1943
Very nice old machines
They don’t make them like that anymore!

@@terryrogers1025 I would be interested for sure! Just let me know
Thanks

Oh yeah, more workshop footage please!
It’s coming stay tuned!
Great video! Is this your first repair video? I haven't seen any here before this, just for sale stuff. I want to watch all your repair videos.
This is an early one
Many more after this year one
That is some serious neglect to wear the mold board that bad! Great fix
Thanks
Nice one bro. Safe travels
Is there a reason why they don't they sell a full blade kit with a new face and cutting edges and both have been severly worn
You can buy the parts individually
@@C_CEQUIPMENT yes I know I thought they all have wear I thought john deere make it so it all new cheaper as you cut it apart the when welding the blade and bolt on the cutting edge
Nice cutters!
Thanks
Great video I really enjoyed it .
thanks
Is that the same 650 with a cab that dritprefict was talking about
no this is an old video
Clint how thick of plating will that plasma cutter cut ??
Up to 1”
I need to see video of replacing ball and socket on 650j dozer please for the blade
Will do one in the future
@@C_CEQUIPMENT thats good only i. Doing one monday was just wanting a refresher video
Not a lot of equipment dealers capable of making a repair like that. Equipment dealers and fabrication and welding usually doesn't go together.
I love a lot more the metal repair also any luck on putting repqpr of the ultilties equipment like a tractor for laying pipe or gas company
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
I wanna see you wear SAFETY GLASSES .
I do believe I’m going to learn a bunch from watching your channel.
