Trencher Wheel Repair

- Hey guys, Here is a nice one. This was quite challenging. Hadnt ever seen one of these idler wheels so broken. Either way, fortunately enough, we were able to help this customer get back to work. Follow along as we get this thing straightened out. Thanks for the support in advance.
I am quite an experienced welder of 75 years old, but I would not see myself fit to carry this man’s welding rods! This man is good.
I appreciate that but I'm sure you can teach us all many many things yet. There's no end to learning from experienced individuals such as yourself. Thanks for the support.
And I predict your son will as great a welder as you are!
Perhaps you might enjoy following along as I get my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban back on the road.
@@ICWeld I’d really love to see you show some of your weld patterns with pen on paper. It’s sometimes hard to see what you’re doing in some positions, particularly when out of position. Thx!
I am awed by Isaac's ability to quickly size up what needs to be done and then execute
You guys look pretty sharp in the jeans and tan shirts. I love the variety of repairs that come into your shop and how you go about analyzing and figuring out a good fix.
With the greatest respect, you’re not just a welder, you’re a metallurgist. Your glass is always half full with that positive attitude you carry. Nothing seems impossible to you. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I am Brazilian, I am a father of a family and I have two children, thank God they were well educated away from drugs ... We admire your conduct. We admire your knowledge...Congratulations! The family is a gift from God.
Controlling heat. Anticipating movement. Actions and reactions. Folks, he makes it look easy, but for anyone who has tried you know this is magician stuff. The piece comes in a wreck, the customer returns, and he literally pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Amazing!
It’s always interesting how you can make something work when it’s nearly scrap. Awesome job!
Much respect. Liked and shared. All my best, from an old welder.
Always amazed at how creative your solutions are. Awesome work!
Understood that the camera cannot convey the full extent of the devastation that tore that piece the way it did, nor can it convey the skill of Isaac & Son in restoring it to usable condition. Well done gentlemen both. 😊
Hi there , as always Issac straightening out and glueing back together anything that comes across your path ain't no problem , just love your style and attitude Sir .
Anybody worried about the bearing surface on that boat anchor has their head up their behind. that thing is suffering from metal fatigue ala madre! If it lasts a year without disintegrating i'd be suprised but great job fixin it! Was very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing brother.
I really appreciate the detail you supply., and the explanations as to why you do things a certain way. Watching you is like watching a master teacher as well as a master welder.
Lazy Susan... now serving ground and hot idler wheel! Have a great weekend
Unbelievable how nice that turned out. God Bless
Your son willingly working with you makes any father happy. And he will learn a lot more from you than any trade school.
Great job welding that Back together, I think that's awesome that your teaching your son welding skills. Not many in this world can do that. What a trade to have. Good job. Keep safe my friend.
Very interesting and I love watching your skills and passing the torch
The dynamic duo! Can't beat a father son combo. How great is that!! Thanks.
You are doing a wonderful thing teaching your apprentice. You are patient and knowledgeable instructor. I wish more people would encourage young people in the trades like that. Thank you for sharing, you're an inspiration.
In the beginning of the video, I thought that the customer should have looked for a replacement for the whole thing. Then you guys did your magic! Very impressed, but that goes for all your videos . Thanks for the insights.
It's probably the case like what Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia faces. The parts are very unique and the wait time for an original or even a second hand unit in reasonable condition is too long and or too costly.
Yeah ur right, its metal fatigued really bad. Its basically a paper weight at this point...
Another excellent repair and video! Looking forward to all of the gouging/cutting/welding of another boom series! (I've watched all of your videos 2-3 times, & your previous boom series is probably my favorite).
Thanks for taking us along as you rehabilitate these machines -
More to come!
Great job of Dad & Lad working together. Looks like your son has come a long way this summer. You must be very proud.
Yes I am!
That was totally crazy; I can't believe you salvaged that piece of junk. Amazing work
What a huge mess you had to deal with! I wonder how many shops told him it couldn't be fixed before he brought it to you? Super job you did with it!
Well, all I can say is what a video! I am in awe and admire you on so many levels. Your work ethic, your ability to see the problem and formulate a fix even though sometimes that fix is very difficult, and mostly, your patience with the work, and teaching your son your craft. He could go to all the welding schools in the country and he won't find a better teacher than his dad. A VERY fortunate young man, and I believe you are equally a proud papa. Keep up the good work and keep these awesome and educational videos coming. I look forward to each and every one.
Beautiful job! It is amazing what you are able to do. Most people would see that as a job for a machine shop with mush more equipment. Your son has an outstanding opportunity working with such a talented welder.👍👍👍❤️
I didnt think you guys could possibly save that one. AMAZING WORK!!
Jobs like this are one of the reasons I watch the channel, I have great respect for anyone who can take what theyre given and make it as good as new instead of just replacing it. Very cool process. (also extremely environmentally friendly)
Thankyou for sharing I am looking forward to the next job.
And sometimes, as we've often seen, better than new lol
@@joemehere1151 that's for certain . I remember a couple of those

I thoroughly enjoy watching you teach your apprentice. It has helped tremendously with the way that I approach my teachings. 🍻🍻
So good to watch you and your son working side by side. As a father of 4 sons I can imagine how proud you must be of him. Watching your work, I can well imagine why they bring you the "fun" (translates as wouldn't trust it to anyone else) jobs. Great music doesn't hurt either. Thanks.
Good to see the kid there with you Isaac, especially for a unique repair as this is invaluable experience! Can't wait for the next heatin an uh beatin project
I just subscribed from Maine. I'm an old carpenter and know nothing about metal/steel work. I am always amazed at how you guys can take a bunch of steel and make it work the way you want it to work. I'm talking about repairs like this one or fabricating something new.
I'm in a small city that just happens to build Navy ships. I see huge plates of steel going in and a few years later a frigate or destroyer goes down the river. I have friends who are shipfitters and welders and I amazed with what they do.
Great job,and great teacher,thanks.
Your such a great teacher and your boy is doing super, but I get the feeling the dog has picked up more than few tips also! I love your thought approach and as a retired repair Machinist I always like your approach and application!
Great work as always. Awesome music too!
With a part that properly munted I would never have expected the finished product. Amazing work
Now I need to buy one of these and ship it to Australia just to see how Curtis would approach the task.
Golly gee. Cracks on a trencher? Who'da thunk it?
Judging by the condition of those bearing surfaces, I don't think there will be an issue with your ground.
Looks like another excavator boom on the way. Nice!
exactly what i thought lol
Watching your videos is always learning something its almost like hands on watching you work you're a real good teacher keep up the great videos
you sure get some interesting & challenging jobs... you have a great helper , he has a great teacher. thanks
You are a FINE teacher! My WW-2 Sea Bee Uncle/Ironworker always told me you had to be relaxed to do your best work. He was a literal whiz with a torch and finished following jobs at the Savanah River Atomic Plant in Aiken, SC. He was always relaxed, YOU are and your SON is! Can't beat that! God Bless Yall!
Issac awesome video and your son is going to make you very proud I believe he's like a sponge take everything in your teaching him.
This looks like the most difficult thing I have seen The Master weld. 99% of welders would pass on this job.
I love that you are involving your son- Great job teaching the next generation
I love your channel. I learn so much. It's not about the actual welding. Laying the weld seems like less than 1/3 of all the planning, the order in which you conduct the repair, the prep, alignment, etc., etc. Keep up the great work!
Preparation is the key to success in anything worthwhile!
I have to say, I would have passed on this one. Even after watching you do it. LOL Your experience passed down to your son will pave the road to his success. Thank you again for the detailed video
What a worn out piece you can only imagine what the rest of the machine looks like. Good work sir.
No doubt that machine gets used but that part is the business end so to speak. Grinding through rocks all day is pretty tough on everything.
Not worn out, just well used. It has many more years of service thanks to welders like Isaac
Heaten and a beaten, I love it. Sounds like something I would do.
As you can tell watching this channel, Austin, TX is a rock solid hell hole.
@@opendstudio7141 Yes, Austin Texas certainly beats the Hell out of earthmoving equipment and keeps Isaac and his boy busy with repairs and videos for us to enjoy.
looked so good couldn't tell hoo did what. good job 👏
Issac you never disappoint when doing these repairs. That's why you stay busy. And good to see that young gun burning wire with you.😁😁😃🤗
I admire your work I also do weld and repair not on your category. But what I really admire is you teaching your son a trade that he can be proud of and help others even at a cost great job...
Had to laugh when you put the dial indicator on it and the needle just wiggled a little. You be good!
Fantastic ISAAC! Great Teamwork! Your son is learning from the BEST! He is doing a Great Job! 👍🙏😇
pretty soon it will be you walking into the shop and asking your son "are you done yet, we have another job on the way in." as you do all the paperwork and billing for the next job.
I admire your work I also do weld and repair not on your category. But what I really admire is you teaching your son a trade that he can be proud of and help others even at a cost great job...
That’s a pretty good setup. A lot of times when you’re trying to true up your parts with a dial indicator you can bump your jig/ fixture with your hand and bring that needle closer to zero.
Another great miracle accomplished with this job. I am amazed that you Issac was able to get that thing done. From what it looked like in the beginning I was wondering if it could be done. Excellent video friend excellent video.
That was a very nice weld repair procedure, the method was easy to follow and I personally have learnt a lot from watching your videos thank you.
Father teaching son the skill of welding!
That contractor better put you on a retainer. He beat that poor hub to crap and back. I can't imagine the abuse the rest of the machine has taken by the "operators". It's obvious he couldn't find a replacement or was it just sticker $$$ shock. You don't have to speed up the video, I've got plenty of time, and the other viewers can fast forward if they like.
Good thing that your son(I'm assuming?) is willing to learn as not many of his generation are wanting to sweat it. Their generation is of the "throwaway or buy another, ..." mentality along with other generations too but mostly in the millennial and "Z" generations. All in all very good work and a "hello" from San Antonio, TEXAS!
The generation before us said the same thing as did the generation before them. It's never been true and it probably never will be.
keep making videos. Your one of the best.
I appreciate that
Awesome job. Love seeing you n your son working together
Dang Skippy that was definitely tore up I cannot believe you were able to fix that within 20,000 of being true that is amazing you and your son are amazing that is something else thank you for the video love it
Real craftsmanship! Awesome repair; better than factory!
You almost had me fooled with the “ we’re almost done , thanks for watching “ comment Isaac 😂
Nice Work Men! Keep up the good work Junior, this worlds needs more youngsters in the weld and fab trade or any of the trades in general! I love this type of repair work!
Great to see your young bloke doing some welding. Great episode
Well that repair ranks right up there with the repairs that you have done on the excavator booms very impressive
I C Weld and C.E.E. are my two fav channels.
HI, I tried to tell you in the last video that I have surplus lathe tools that you are welcome to.. My shop is over in Navasota, just no way to contact you ....
I updated my contact info. Please check that out. Thank you for your willingness to help
@@ICWeld will do....
@@ICWeld Email inbound :)
Greetings from Dobin. Often pass thru Navasota to visit my friend in Brenham. Thanks for helping our buddy.
I just passed through Brenham today... how funny.
Issac you never cease to amaze me with your skill and ingenuity. What a great outcome especially when dealing with a contaminate fighting you all the way. Bravo to you and your son!
Great job. You must've saved that company heaps of money (and time) by repairing that wheel. Thanks for the video's.
Very nice.! Good to see u working with your son love the kind of videos u do very helpful have a great weekend
very nice repair there, you have some good help learning the trade. bet it is nice to stand and watch for a change. good looking K9 dog too. thanks for the lesson,
So nice to see your Son learning A trade from You !
Glad got video today....I C today.....Kurtis tomorrow yippee
Love seeing you working with your son.
I like your variable speed rotator drive 😊.
Tesmec trenchers really take a pounding it's never good news when you get a call to weld on one. Great video Issac!
Heatin and a beatin how you fix that O’l Son . You know! You are the master. I was a master mechanic / welder for over forty years on heavy equipment 651 and 657 scraper spreads . I used to say , the hard stuff we do easy the impossible just takes a little longer .😎
I like that!
When that machine is down, the owner can’t make that dollar dollar bill, y’all. So he’s going to be looking over your shoulder and calling every fifteen minutes. In spite of it all, that fix still looks great.
You're a good welder but what really impresses me about your videos is your problem solving. Lots of welders can lay a good bead but couldn't the repairs you do. That and your torch skills of course.
I agree with that! Intelligent, professional, good teacher and humble too! I am so lucky to have found this channel
@@joemehere1151 He could make more money teaching people to weld than he could ever imagine. He has the patience and natural talent to teach.
Ingenious way of getting the work set up. Thanks for telling us about the way you’re going to approach the project and then make changes and letting us know why you modified the plan.
Yep, even working without the benefit of a lathe and/or a milling machine welder especially in the field are expected to use their knowledge and creativity to solve pretty complex and tolerance sensitive problems. Most people that do not do welding for a living cannot appreciate what they have to do with so little. They’d be surprised what a fella with good vision and neuromuscular feedback can do with a file, a pipe grinder even a large 13” diameter grinder if that’s all that’s on the truck because a person used it in the shop and forgot to put it back on the truck has. A die grinder and some carbide grinding attachments helps too. Then it has to stay true during welding or be brought back into true during welding.
The young man is getting in there, Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job. Amazed at what you did with it
31:17 Is that Fred Flintstone wheel in the back ground. LOL 🤣🤣
As usual outstanding. Stay Safe!
Always good varied content. Thank you.
12👍's up IC WELD thanks for sharing
Thanks Isaac
I'm sorry but anyone that wants to tell you how to do something needs to take a long look in the mirror and figure out their own priorities.
Someone had the nerve to call Issac a "youtuber" last video. He's a professional that's very very good at his craft. He's definately NOT a "youtuber".
@@dcolb121 Can't he be both? He does great work, and makes quality videos with no bs, just shows his process.
I would have made a jig to run it between centers, couple if bits of plate and 2 sharpened bolts. Easier to line it up.
Thanks for sharing Issac, a true master of your craft.
You know what they say about Bananas, they're ready when they have some brown spots on them.
Can't wait to see that. I've been following quite a while
Ship of Theseus excavator boom, man that was a good video! Excited to see something like that again.
Issac wasnt around when humpty dumpty fell off that wall or he would have been welded back together
Fantastic job guys as always 🦘👍
Congratulations you and your son repaired that drive wheel back from the scrap bin .. Great job !!
You sir are the best welder in the world. Been watching your channel and you can fix and weld anything back together like new again.
Oh, not at all. I just happen to film my stuff. There are many other guys that do some incredible stuff that amazes me more so than what I do!
I admire you mentoring the next generation of craftsmen.
