I just want to say, I'm going to be a mechanical engineer here pretty soon (doing building design, not mechanical design) but I appreciate how you teach your apprentices tp pay attention to detail early on. An owner will go back to someone who pays attention to the small things, and it creates a quality product!
Another great video showing your day to day work. I really appreciate the way you explain the tools and the techniques you use to address a particular problem,. This makes your content standout from others. Thank you for bring us along again.
Only other place I've seen air-arc is on CCE Australia where Curtis uses it for the same reason you do. Thanks for the detailed explanation and sharing your work.
@@paulsims9155 Exactly my though/ reaction when I read Robert's comment - and I was about to point Isaac's channel to him, but decided to check if someone else hasn't done it already - and yeah, you beat me, mate! : )
I can not ask for anything more......I just pitched out 68,432 items from my videos...now I get to relax with you Greg, cheers my California friend.....Paul in Orlando, Florida.....
Just found your channel and after a bite of binge watching, Up to date! Your filming and editing skills have grown with each video. Thanks for dragging us along with you.
Nothing like an impatient customer. Either way I really enjoy watching your work. The phrase, “a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t.” Does not apply here. You do great work.
That was pretty epic, particularly your discovery of the strategic dingleberry reserve. A big believer in preventive maintenance, I can never understand those who wait for equipment to fail. Economically, none of us want equipment down time, but PM is a known time and cost, whereas forensic repair, such as this excellent example is not. Just like sex in Matamoros, you best always wear a skin 👍🏻
Fabricated structural steel for 5 years this looks like a lot of the stuff I use to do deal with similar arcing welding fabricating .. your are one bad ass dude 🔥
That top fence is nice, along with the "speed holes" on the arms! Great job from you and your team, well explained what you were doing, even me could follow the work flow... 👍👍👍
Even for a very small personal home amateur it is great to see! And as a grandmaster u are in my opinion, you are explaining so clear. And even i will never do it on a scale you are working every day, i am learning a awful lot from you video's. Thank you for youré time you are putting in your content. will follow from now on!
Really enjoy your vids. I hope some of your customers watch your vids so they can see just how complicated and time consuming some of these repairs are.
I got one time rental dozer was like this I caught just in time for rebuild before send back.you show people what happen when wear got too long.good work and video.calgary alberta.
Great work done their'' for the job you do its Very good seamless welding'' shame at the end its tossed about! lol. thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍 Anthony, UK
an option when painting some dont care about colors on floor but some do this is a trick i was showed if you use woodchips on the floor when you paint it colors the chips and not floor great work keep it up i enjoy watching them and watched them all
Another amazing project, hopefully one day you will do a video on your background how you got all your skills mabe a business video or something like that I'm always interested in how people got to where they're at how they got their skills inspirational type info. Thank you for the great content.🙏🏻
Great video! This is the type of work I do. Just not as big nor do I have the size equipment you have. One thing I did start doing was using a local guy with a “dustless blasting machine“. Instead of all that wire wheeling and scraping and shoveling, they’ll come out with their high-pressure water and crushed glass and clean it up within minutes instead of hours and hours of tedious labor. Huge savings and labor cost and very environmental friendly. Just thought I would Pass that on in case you’ve never heard of it.
Your job I am confident has its ups and downs, but outside looking in it looks like a freaking blast! I work in healthcare (not very manly) so I am vicariously using your videos to sort of get in touch with that badassness!
The lint from the underbelly of civilization, right there in the blade cavities. Love it. Too few people ever think about this, let alone get to see it. Yet we all depend on people taking care of our waste. Too bad there are no smell videos yet. I should just scoop some rotting trash on my desk while watching this, to really appreciate it.
Welding was one of the career paths I considered following, but I ended up working for the CHP instead. Government jobs and welding are similar, just different in pay. A good government employee and a good welder are impossible to fire, unless they cause a lawsuit for the most part.
Back in 1979 in a previous life I worked for the local Cat dealer. I believe it was A D-7 that came in from the county landfill. You can't imagine how bad that machine stunk. Any and everything that goes to the dump was packed in the undercarriage and pan. I mean garbage, dead animals... It took 2 days and two men to partially clean up what was not burnt by the fire from a fuel leak in the engine compartment. We really never got the smell off it.
Nearly every single dozer I work on comes out of the landfill. We spend so much time just digging out trash just to get to the repair. It's not hard to spend an entire day just digging trash out.
Nice job well finished, hope you list the cleaning out hours lol. Never used the air arc method as my repairs are much smaller in scale so 9" slitting blade is the choice of removing.
Very informative and enjoyable video. One thing that would be useful for those of us with no industrial experience - at the beginning, a video or photo of the machine with a quick explanation of where these parts go and what they do. Like, I know what a bulldozer blade is, obviously - but not where these ball joints and arms and whatnot connect and not how they're supposed go together when they're not beat to hell.
We used to put the c frames on by driving the dozer into them...to bolt on. That cframe and blade had a lot of wear, i was surprised there was not more cracks on them.
I bought Rust-X for to apply first on equipment that will eat the surface rust and prime it before painting and I am totally impressed with the product. I didn't even wire down the surface rust on a 1,000 gallon skid pipes and it ate and leveled the surface before painting. You might won't to try it and I think you will be impressed too. :)
When I overhauled the skin on our D-10 coal pusher. It's easier to install the arms on to the dozer first. Than you can stand the blade up on skids. Than drive the dozer into position to attache the blade. Safer too.
Epic channel and fantastic videos, thank you! One request if I may... a tour of your work truck would be AMAZING if you get a chance. Really interested to see what you have on the truck to enable the site work and repairs that you do in the field.
Did an old Komatsu blade looked just like this one here went through the pros and cons of cutting vs re skinning and customer didn’t wanna pay to cut it up so ended up getting a 3/8th skin press broke set it on there and burned it on still holding up and it’s been 3 years of heavy use can’t complain haha clean job man (no pun intended from the trash)😂😂
Nice work and yet another nice vid! Can I suggest you finish your vids with a simple 5-10 second out-tro so dummies like me can hit the like button. Will definitely up your engagement and traffic.
Fascinating too see this type and scale of work - confident step by step makes it look easy . But how do you price up a job like this ?? Steel ,consumables ,staff , insurance , rent , fuel and time ! Absorbing stuff and great content . many thanks Jonny UK
As I work in the trash industry, funny to have you mention that the build up is trash, not dirt. To me, that dried trash goo is just another part of a days work. Not even something I'd worry about touching with bare hands. Part of the reason people in the trash industry have immune systems that are nearly indestructible. Also funny to see the outsourcing of welding fabrication, as we have 2 dedicated welders and 2 bays in the shop dedicated just to welding, and I work at what I'd consider a relatively small yard(55 ppl total, ~35 drivers, 10 mechanics/welders, and the balance being the 7 MRF/transfer people(me), and the office.
"Nice little California sunset" I was wondering why the inside of your shop building didn't have any insulation on the walls. 🤣🤣🤣 That naked tin building would give you frostbite if you were working in your shop in January in Wisconsin. 😂
There are parts of california that need insulation and can get tens of feet per season, just in the mountain ranges. Lake Tahoe, where I live has been brutalized. We haven't seen a 7am morning above 32 degrees until this month. I piled snow just from my parking spot 15 feet tall. I saw -6 degrees one morning too lol

Those welds look awesome and the brush guard really finished it all. Thank you very much for another great video. 😁👍🇦🇺

Looks good you did a awesome job on that
Great freakin work man. You and your team are killin it
Nice work ! Love to see quality work.
Very good work indeed young man. Hopefully we get to see Part 2, reskinning the blade.

For the cleanout, a large shop vac would be a big help. Just break up the dirt and suck it out. I use the same method to dig deep, narrow holes.
love your vids. absolutely hate air arc'ing lol. have problems finding the seam sometimes. definitely a skill
Excellent piece of work.

Dustless is a time saver in many applications!
That’s a very good idea, we hope that Greg will look into it.
I'd like to hear more about dual shielding. I'm new to your channel and enjoy your content. Great video on this blade!

Not your most prestigious job but you got it done. Good job to your apprentice for handling the real dirty work. ✊
Amazing! I love videos like this!
Great job and QUALITY!
Awesome work on the blade
Great job as always.
Amazing job on the brush guard add on
great job on the dozer blade! 👍👍
Welding was one of the career paths I considered following, but I ended up working for the CHP instead. Government jobs and welding are similar, just different in pay. A good government employee and a good welder are impossible to fire, unless they cause a lawsuit for the most part.
That is one bad looking blade right there , very cool !
Great job with the air arc
I love your videos, makes me rethink my fire sprinkler carear choice

It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. Well done bud!
Fantastic job!
I had you all wrong, you are a cool cat and a great engineer and welder and boss, my apology for any neg comments in the past. Please forgive me.
Nearly every single dozer I work on comes out of the landfill. We spend so much time just digging out trash just to get to the repair. It's not hard to spend an entire day just digging trash out.
Your work is better then factory "Dam good work".
Nice welding, a big exhaust fan woul be a nice addition to your shop.
Nice job! Looks amazing:)
That brush guard looks amazing
Nice job well finished, hope you list the cleaning out hours lol. Never used the air arc method as my repairs are much smaller in scale so 9" slitting blade is the choice of removing.

the best part is showing the apprentice pressure wash it!!!, you are a good journey!!! please let him watch!!!!
Great work guys better than new👊 back to pushing daisy's 🎉😂
You sure do nice work very nice
Nice! Looks a lot better than when it was first fabricated by Cat! Cat should pay you for making your quality version

Really Enjoyed!! ..learned a lot!! Cheers!!;-)!!
Amazing work
Great work.
A quality shop like yours needs an electrostatic paint system,maybe for Christmas!!
Did an old Komatsu blade looked just like this one here went through the pros and cons of cutting vs re skinning and customer didn’t wanna pay to cut it up so ended up getting a 3/8th skin press broke set it on there and burned it on still holding up and it’s been 3 years of heavy use can’t complain haha clean job man (no pun intended from the trash)😂😂
Watching a bulldozer blade being repaired. Seeing some of its construction Is pretty dang neat.
It's one of those jobs that you have to remember to keep the mouth shut
Literally 🤢
That would be a face mask job for me 😂
Keeping your mouth shut is generally a good idea.
Quality work !
Another good video. That tipover looked risky
Nice work and yet another nice vid!
Can I suggest you finish your vids with a simple 5-10 second out-tro so dummies like me can hit the like button. Will definitely up your engagement and traffic.
The inside of your shed roof may need a little attention. The blade looks good for a short while. Thanks for the videos.
I appreciate your videos and the discussion with yourself.... Which of the options is best for disassembly and later for reassembly!! Keep it up !!
Subscribed. Thanks for the info.
Awesome, thank you 👍👍👍👍

All by the hour. Got to factor all expenses into your rate.
We use cutting edge supply for bending they are awesome
You should have some nice compost to start a garden out the back of the workshop now!
I'm a welder I want to see more of it and your welding skills not just the fit up
For some reason the term "spoil board" comes to mind regarding that extra moldboard at the top.
Great 👍🏻 Vidja 🚜🔧🧨🔧💰👌👍🏻
very graceful landing lol
Bon Boulo travail bien fini (peinture)😀😀👍👍
👍👍👌👌 Thanks for the video.
That's good to smell wonderful when it gets hot lol.
What a nasty job. You would think it would be cleaned before loading it on your trailer. Job well done
That looks better than new
