- Some of you may be very familiar with this type of issue. Anyone who works on heavy equipment with tracks knows the struggles. Follow along as I remove these broken bolts out of a Drill Rig track frame.
What you gotta like about Isaac is he's not afraid to leave things in the video if they fail. Thanks for keeping it real.
Its not fun bit its real, so i leave it in.
A man of integrity.
Much respect.
@@ICWeld Yeah man, thanks for keeping in the things that don't always work.
i get to see a bit of how it Really is.
Best part of your videos is that you don’t go on and on talking about what you’re gonna do. You just do it. And, you show your success and your failures. Great job.
I second this comment
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
I have expanded my drill bits and drills just for broken bolts lol.track frame bolts like your doing here I usually take a rose bud to the frame around the bolts first then center punch the hell out of them.if there is room and it's a through bolt I always drill big as I can then split with a 00 tip in the torch if dead end hole or no room to drill have had better luck with welding nut only. zinc or plated washers don't seem to hold too well
@@everythingoutdoors7944 Yep we all have our ways of dealing with these. Up here in the land of salt and snow... we call the torch our heat wrench. In those solid plates that won't heat much, I've taken to pouring the heat into the bolt with a rosebud to cherry if I can, then let it cool and weld on the nut with as much heat as possible. Some hammer raps and a little cooling. Taking the bolt to red breaks the rust bond (sometimes) and gets some expansion/contraction movement going. Like Isaac did, patience, patience and more patience.
👍👍
Hey mate what wire are you running in that machine
RUclips is why I hardly watch any television. Your videos are one of the reasons I watch so much RUclips! Keep the good stuff coming!!
When in college for my automotive technology degree we were required to take a welding class. Our instructor told us, let me show you something that might save you from being let go or laid off before someone else is. We spent a week 2 hrs a day learning how to weld on bolts stuck in GM 6.0 heads without drilling them. Best money I ever spent.
Snapped off, dirty, rusty, seized, upside down, high Sun, big bolts and in the field with a crowd watching and waiting for you to finish cos the machine is costing and not earning.
Who needs drama and action when this is available. Proper job. Cheers
Class is in session again from the master
I liked the fact that you used a 140 amp portable machine with flux core wire to demonstrate these smaller machines that many of us shadetree mechanics have are not toys. Lots of good welding tips and heating techniques in your video for coaxing out frozen bolts and broken studs. Always appreciate your clips!
I usually keep two crescent wrenches in my tool box. One metric and one SAE. ;o)
Or a West Virginia socket set!
Said with a straight face...
@@michaelleblanc3363 A West Virginia socket set....?
Please explain to me, what that means...🙂
@@kristianskov4841
I think that is just a local term for an adjustable wrench.
I have an adjustable that gives overall size in metric on one side of it.. and in SAE on the other.. always fun when I ask a helper to get me the metric adjustable and they don't see it.. I flip the wrench over and say "there it is!" LOL
"Make sure you use a metric crescent wrench..." LOL!
That's what a happy trigger finger on the old impact gets you. "Hey...Call that guy you know, see if he can get these bolts out again."
A little trick I learned a long time ago for getting out any seized bolt is to heat the bolt and surrounding area, then take a can of 134 and freeze the bolt only. The massive temp differential creates a good amount of wiggle room. It’s always worked for me.
My favorite phrase.
It's the way I do it. That speaks volumes about your experience. You have been around and know what works best for you. You speak bluntly and with authority. I respect that.
Man I was on the edge of my seat looking for movement. I shouted "got it!" My wife thinks I'm nuts
Bolts 😉
I work maintenance in a fairly large industrial wastewater plant. It’s an old facility originally built in 1936. I deal with this problem often. I find that breaking the rust bond between the fastener and thread helps. I will use an air hammer with a pointed chisel right on the bolt and a hammer around the area surrounding. Then after welding a nut on I quickly douse it with lots of water. The rapid heat and cooling cycles help the most. Even after welding and cooling, I’ve had to reheat with a torch and then rapid cool it. I’ve had instances of doing that a couple times then turning the bolt/stud out basically by hand.
Not being critical, love the videos. Just sharing.
As a heavy equipment mechanic, I always take lessons from your videos and apply them at my own job! So thanks!
Glad to help
Make sure you have a metric crescent wrench though. Lol
You really do great work, but the thing that impresses me is you don't get rattled, you just keep working on whatever it is until you conquer it.
Keep up the good work!
I always found it "easier" if you can drill a hole in the center of the bolt as far as you can before welding, especially if it's a pass through. Awesome video!
Just wanted to tell you I really appreciate your videos. I recently started a welding business and wanting to focus and transition into equipment welding. I was a heavy duty mechanic for years and my motivation and knowledge lean toward equipment. Your videos are very helpful and educational. Just want to tell you I appreciate it!!
Thank you for the reply. I'm glad its been helping. And thank you for your support!
Thank you for sharing. There is an unwritten law that bolts break in a tough spot.
I wish I know these tricks 40 years ago and had the patients to use them. Well done.
If we only had RUclips forty years ago, back then a lot of guys would not show you there tricks.
I love that metric crescent wrench to! I see you mark your tools as I used to when I worked with a bunch of guys. I started off with three marks by a file and slowly progressed to seven when I changed jobs! Well done.
I'm a "certified" hobby farm fixer-upper, I think most would call me a jack of all trades and a master at none. Regardless, I have learned a great deal from watching your videos, thank you.
“I can’t right now honey, he’s removing broken bolts”!
🤣
And it's a short video, only a half hour!
I think you meant to say. I can't right now honey, he's removing broken nuts!
It's funny because it's true.

Good job! - from the guy that they always called for this kind of job - I always used a 3/32" 6010 or 6011 and filled the inside of the nut right to the top - welds nut to broken bolt and heats it enough to break bond - then used a 6 point socket - instead of a metric crescent wrench : - )...... after the nut stops glowing and heat sinks into threads - no cooling spray required... thats just my way like you always say.
Always a pleasure watching you and picking up vignettes from your experiences - keep us in the loop ....thanks
oh i feel you with the struggle.. im from Finland and i do this exact kind of work a lot. i usually start by heating the snapped bolt red hot and then let it cool down and weld a smaller nut very well to the bolt and a bigger nut on top of the smaller. I find that best method for me. Keep doing these amazing videos, i enjoy these very much:)
Thanks for the tips!
Always a pleasure watching you fix things. From failing to success. Never give up. Finding solutions. And handle business.
Relentless a hard working man, thanks for the video and have a blessed day America
Oh does this remind me of my early years. I have spent sooo many hours laying in the mud in the dark and sometimes cold removing track roller bolts to get machines back operational for the crews in the morning. I had to burn out lot of them. I carried a lot of Snap-on pick sets and chowdered taps for digging slag and left over bolt threads out. Oh the fun. Keep up the good work
There are channels like yours.....a thumbs up before I even see the content....the guys (or girls) that give a thumbs down....if you don't like the effort this guy puts in...just go somewhere else....
Here in Canada, when we switched over to metric, all our standard adjustable wrenchs were melted down and remanufactured in to metric adjustables adding a secert sauce to the metal.. You are right they do a much better job on difficult removals.
Another successful mission. Great job. When installing bolts on applications like this, plumbing thread sealant like Rectorseal number 5 soft set and white Loctite 567 thread sealant really work well to fill the voids in the thread path from water and dirt, but don't "lock" the threads. I used them on our tracked vehicles in the Army. Great stuff. Not even desert dust gets in and eliminates electolytic corrosion from dissimilar metals like steel bolts in aluminum.
I highly recommend flooding the bolts with penetrating oil, yes WD40 works just fine, and a little air hammer action along with all the great techniques you used here. Some torque on the nut while air hammering a flooded bolt is highly effective. That said, there will be some that just wont come out.
A pleasure to watch your work, as always. Keep the content coming.
Gotta Luv the feeling of four guys watching while you get it done.
Nothing worse honestly. People trying to chat while you're working. Especially as a welder.
My brother-in-law (now deceased unfortunately) was a self taught welder/fabricator - he would have enjoyed your work - he was a no nonsense person, just as you, he said this is the way I do it not necessarily that it's the only way. I'm not a welder or fabricator just a run of the mill gearhead, I enjoy watching someone who knows his stuff
I work on heavy equipment, I found out best way to remove broken bolts,is line up nut hole on broken bolt,and fill center of nut with weld, not outer side, let cool, it will come out.(may take a couple tries)
Been in this exact situation and in the end we blew out the holes and welded larger nuts on the inside and adjusted the hole on the idle rollers for the bigger bolt . Love your videos from Australia
Brilliant skills and determination for all to see. And in the background for a few minutes a world class welding rig!
Loving the flow of uploads please don't stop!! We learn something new every time *cheers
Nothing feels better than when the bolts start to break free. it's one of them "YES" moments.
I dunno, bustin a nut is pretty nice too.
Thanks for sharing Isaac, those are always tough. Keep up the great work. When your all done with that one it deserves a I Win.
Nice to see videos that show that plan a or b might not work. Sometimes it's just plan "I'm gonna try this ". Awesome to see real experience at work. Love the videos.
Thanks for watching!
I really admire ur patience...love watching ur videos an keep them coming !
Tenacity master class in session here, awesome! It's always amazing to see someone with high level skills and the pure confidence and positive attitude that it brings to the job at hand. I've certainly have a lot to learn, but this is exactly the direction I want to go in with respects to building skills and sharpening up my attitude. I liked seeing a successful pattern emerge as you tried different things. There was a lot of control there, too, when you gave things time to cool off. It takes a lot of discipline to control that urge to start wrenching on things.
I admire your patience and your try again attitude. You deserved that success! Great job man!
You got guts man!!!! Few would show their failures!!! Lost of learning involved in failures if you pay attention.
Thanks for the great video's Isaac! Always learning better ways of doing something.
Love watching your work and videos. Awesome how you stay so calm.
Your a very knowledgeable man.
Your videos solidify the whole "its now how you fail, its how you react to your fail" Keep trying, keep at it, and get the job done.
I work on Jeeps for a hobby and the tips I've learned from you on broken bolts, welding, and just keep at it having been super inspiring!
Thank you
You can reuse those bolts now you’ve welded heads back on them. 😂
Exactly. Maybe use them to secure the cars on a roller coaster or something like that. Lol
Thank you for the video! You have one of the most educational channels on RUclips! I always learn something from you!
Another great education!! Enjoyed today's session immensely, thank you sir
I find it rewarding to see you work through the problem. One way doesn’t work keep moving forward to get the job done.
The fight is real. I feel your pain and satisfaction all on the same job. Yet Another great job👌👌👌 thank you
I've been a auto mechanic for about 15 years now and it took a long time to learn patience like this wen it comes to doing this kinda work. U tried the same thing over and over and eventually with patience it worked and saved u a lot of head ache and bs. Love your channel man .
Thank you for taking the time to video this for us. It really means a lot. The on the job education is priceless!
Also congratulations on getting them all out !! Has to make you feel GREAT !! Completely enjoyed it !!
Thank YOU Sir! I always learn from you. The fact you show what works and sometimes doing it a couple times, let's me know to trust the process, not in fast win or loss. Cheers!
Thanks for another fab video. I love your calm approach to problems - if it doesn't work, try again. This is something to pass on to the next generation regardless what job you do (I'm a psychiatrist!)
Now thats the second video I've seen you get broken bolt out of a fixture without drilling, had i only known... Thanks again for another lesson. Hood down lights on.
I was so happy to see you break off the first nut you welded on, now I don’t feel so bad at my attempts. Great videos keep them coming I always learn something new. I’m going to try that next time with welding the washer onto the bolt then weld the nut to the washer.
Love your videos! You have everything it takes for a great channel ... Keep'em coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Isaac, through the years I've had a lot of first time success by cleaning the bolt then welding a flange nut directly to the broken bolt on the inside of the nut, not the outside. This transfers a lot of heat through the full length of the bolt breaking it loose from the threaded hole. This really works!
I also use 6 point impact sockets and the necessary breaker bar to apply the right amount of torque. Use sockets you're not in love with because you'll be beating them on to get the best engagement.
Awesome video!
Im going try that. I never thought of using flange nuts.
I just want to say that you do awesome work and I love your videos. I'm glad to see someone with the patience that I've learned that we all need in this field of work. I'm glad that job went as easy as it did for you. I know first hand how easy that job can go and how quickly it could turn into a crap show as well. I had done a job like this 2 weeks ago on a tracked Liebherr mag excavator. Had 7 of them broken off and only 1 that was flush enough to weld a washer and nut to it. I drilled holes though the centers of the other 6 bolts and washed them out until I saw threads. Ran an ease-out behind them to make sure I got all of the big material out then chased all 7 with a Tap. Got them all cleaned up and ready to be put back together. Thank you for what you do and I wish you much, much success!
Kudos to you,for being able to lay on your back and work like that,great job !
One of the problems with track roller bolts and open holes is the bolts are often too long and stick out the top. Rusting and getting damaged by rocks and stuff up in the track frame. They are prone. to galling on the way out. It's aways an adventure. Glad it's you and not me today Isaac🤣 Cheers
Yes exactly. thats why I was feeling the inner spot in hopes that they didnt use too long of a bolt. Interestingly enough, The threads run right up against the side wall. If they used a long bolt, it would have bent the bolt when the threads ended.
True fabricator, I love watching your vids very inspirational,keep up the awesome work👍🏼.
I see you got your umbrella up but I don't see any Piña coladas, stay cool man looks hot out there.👍😎
Next time!
Love watching you work!
Great job Isaac. I’ve done my fair share of bolt extractions and I’m always working on old junk. A friend turned me onto a lubricant made by Justice Brothers. It’s called JB 80. Fantastic stuff. It’s the only thing I’ve used that will break loose stainless AFTER it has started galling. Keep up the fight, Isaac
Great tip!
The patience of this guy!
I used both methods today on some previously gas cut off 3/4" bolts, it worked well, a bit of a battle here and there but good results. Thanks for the advice!
As a field mechanic I have had to remove my own broken bolts in the very same manner
Great job 👏
Nice work , and thanks for taking the time to do the video , much appreciated
Always enjoy watching your videos keep up the great work
Sitting down, shutting up and paying attention sir 😇👌🏻
I always enjoy watching you work sometimes you make me so tired I have to go and lay down
I have never seen this technique before and you can be sure I will try it next time I have a broken bolt on farm equipment - thanks for the tip!
Glad to help
north main auto repair on YT uses this technique on auto exhaust manifold bolts that are broken. sometimes fresh language is involved though
Hello; I like to watch some one who knows what He's doing. You can tell because He makes it look so easy. Weld a little the hit it with the hammer and do that until you have enough to weld to. Just beautiful work. I wish I'd of known that 30 years ago. Good job and you have a new subscriber.
I have extracted probably100's from tracked equipment . mainly timberjack 608 fellerbunchers.If they break off up in the hole and your flange is messed up from the the bottom rolls smashing around for a couple weeks like most of them. Removing one roller at a time from the center and more bolts break while taking it apart. Cut windows in the side of the track frame and remove them from the top and weld windows back in. Can still have stubborn ones but usually the quickest way to go. Always fun when you've got 5 or 6 (or more) of them Great video. Always a good time.
Always a pleasure....and an education as well. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Gluing the washer on firstly, providing a large base for the nut weld. Impressed !! Watching from home in Bermuda
Great video - everyone seems pretty cool to work with!
Another great video from a true craftsman
Good job! I'm always impressed with guys that can get those bolts out. Always seemed impossible to me!! Enjoyed the vid.
Oh, you were drawing a crowd there!
There I was, just enjoying a good video...then he dropped the metric crescent wrench; got me hahaha
I use metric crescent wrenchs too!
I've got a metric pipe wrench.🙄
I hope you don't mind me sharing one of my tactics with you. When I'm dealing with stuck bolts in suspension parts, I heat the bolt itself until it turns orange. I might also do a couple cycles where I allow the bolt to cool a minute and get it orange again depending on how bad I suspect the bolt to be rusted. Then I let it cool back down to the point I don't fear twisting the head off and I can usually break those stuck bolts free. I was taught that by sending the heat down the bolt, the expansion of the bolt can crush and break up the rot in the threads. Even in the instance where you had to weld nuts on, I'd bet heating the bolt first could have helped. If you ever decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear how well it did or didn't work for you. If nothing else, thanks for sharing the videos with us.
Im sure that works very well. You are absolutely right about heating the bolt to help it break free. That is a very good process.
In regards to the last bolt. When you're down to you second to last move you sorta have to "push all of your chips in" and go for broke. A better and less messy out come. Thanks to the great content!
Great video you get some cracking jobs ,I hope they pay you well ,the skill put to the test. Thanks
I’ve ha$ to get broken bolts out myself. I’ll be damned! As soon as I saw the washers I knew what you were going to do and it’s brilliant!! Love your videos brother
The big washer and nut is the key..
I myself have been doing that for many years..
Properly cooling with the penetrating oil !!
And work back-and-forth slowly with patients!
Man seems to be knowing what hes doing!!
Great job, persistence and patience pays off! 👍🏼👍🏼😀
I take something away from all your videos and apply it at the biomass plant. Appreciate all the knowledge you give out
Ya he sacado esos tornillos capados de los roles en tractores de orugas caterpillar.
Antes solo existía ( aquí en Tijuana) solo soldadura de electrodo y era un poco más difícil ( para mí ).
Fue un gran trabajo el de usted.
Felicidades y gracias por compartir su conocimiento.
Just found your channel yesterday, watched a bunch of videos, and said "Wow that area looks familiar". Come to find out, you're basically a neighbor! No wonder the scenery looks so familiar.
So cool, glad I found ya!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for two great videos ic 👍👍
Issac, always the best...well done Sir....
I've watched a few of your videos. As a heavy equipment mechanic, that can also weld, But im not a welder (lol). Something I do when removing broken hardware is the same as you did at the end, weld a nut though the middle, while hot I use an acid brush and anti seize, sometimes it works its way into the threads and frees it up. Hope this Helps you, thanks for the videos.
"Metric Crescent Wrench".....hilarious!
Left handed Crescent wrenches work too! haha
Snap!
Well y could always use metrinch tools, kid you not they do excist.
@@ICWeld IMO, every Crescent wrench should be dropped in the ocean. Too fiddly. Thanks for the video. Great!
@@johnranalletta9249 nah, you're just using them upside down
Metric crescent wrench... 😂. Love your videos!
Thank you for the videos Mr Isaac ..👍
Like Mustie jokes on his channel, "We do it right 'cuz we do it twice." Nice work.
