Ol' dozer looks like it has cracks from one end to the other and these guys are crazy good at repairing equipment that would be sent for scrap here in the U.S.
Because life is cheap in Pakistan , they are under no obligation to run a safe working environment, if you kill a worker you just pay off the family I cash and carry on.
A true Craftsman in his trade. As others said, they would have thrown this dozer out. He reminds me of my FIL in his skill and precision of welding. Miss him more everyday and what I missed learning from him is unbelievable. I wish I could go back in time. Just even to sit in the corner and watch him again would be welcome.
There is no need to speed up the clip. Most people who watch these clips, know the process. There is no need to try and keep our attention, because you already have it.
As Americans, we have reason not to like these people. But I've been welding most of my life, and I'm aware of what it takes to do a job like that. And just as others have posted, we scrap equipment in better shape than that. However, they are some good craftsman. They have very limited PPE, I mean no glasses when cutting, thin gloves, no boots. But they do a good job, I've got to say.
@@TRPGpilot I'm not sure who you referring to, that no one likes. But if it is me, I'm taking about after nine eleven. But I don't think we as a country have any right to tell any other country what they should do. And I think it's caused a lot of problems as well as the terroristic attacks on our country. So to be quite honest, I'm not in agreement with the attacks on us. I do believe that by us trying to solve other countries wars by imposing our will on them. It's caused us grief. I don't think we have say so when these countries do something we don't agree with.
Excellent buddy! I was just about to type something similar, but you put it better. I've been to Burma/Myanmar twice, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore 7 times, Hong Kong, China, Guam, and Indonesia ten times. I lived in Bali and Surabuya for months at a time. I lived in Burma for a few months. I watched people make things under the harshest conditions. The people are good. It's the military and the rich that make people say they've had enough and turn radical. The men in this video have to take any job offered just to survive. Buy gloves, safty glasses, work clothes, and steel steel tip work boots are a luxury they can't afford. Their bosses could care less about them because there's ten guy in line to take their jobs. Every kid in the U.S.A. should have to go overseas to see what the real world is like. Again, it's a great post.
Nice job, only adjustment I would have done is grinded a wedge around to edge of the plate so when welding it to the cross member it would have more secure penetration.
I can’t make my mind up if the speech speeded up sounds like the Jawas from Star Wars OR the Smurfs. It’s such a close call, but there again, these guys don’t throw anything away!
Might be an old Cat but they are always worth fixing no matter how long it takes. Hats off to the subcontinent lads. If they made replacement parts,they would do a roaring trade.
Imagine the stress and metal fatigue it took to crack that piece. Looks like ¾". I'd think every piece attached to it would fail long before that crossmember cracked.
@@TRPGpilot Yes, the imperial system still exists in the United States, Libya, and Myanmar, along side the metric system. Does it irritate you that the imperial system still exists? How do you enjoy living in France, do you enjoy using the metric system every day? Do you look down on those who use both imperial and metric? Do you wake up in a cold sweat wondering why it still exists? It is a rather amazing thing no?
@@TRPGpilot 😆😆😆 Yes, I'm in The US, where inches, feet, and a smidge still reign supreme ! 🤣🤣🤣 I will say that no matter which system I use, that piece of steel is still the same thickness. 😎😎😎
@@TRPGpilot The internet, email, personal computer, GUI, Wi-Fi, cellphones; all the modern conveniences you enjoy everyday; all invented in the US. Excuse us if we still prefer our imperial system of measurements.
With ‘western health & safety eyes’ there is so much wrong here however, from a make do & mend perspective it’s superb skill and talent. MacGyver would be very proud 👍
It really looks like a battery was above there and it cracked, letting the acid drip onto that beam for ages. No never saw one being pulled out. Nothing else shreds steel like that. It sure wasn’t oil leaks, that protects steel. At least until water gets under it. Then it rusts as fast as ever. Sure would have been easier to cut at an angle the first time.
If I hadn't seen the AIRARC gouges I'd be worried but these guys did a bang up job. They actually got a root in there! So many "welds" I see on these channels- Most Are Crap Surface Welds or are Full of Slag inclusions . Great Job
LOOK near the end, the frame, not the patch, was beveled with the torch or a gouging/cutting rod all around to a 45 for full penetration. I had to look twice.
What a terrible weld job. First there should be a valley between the two edges so the weld can penetrate all the way thru the 3/4 inches or what ever size it is. The way they are doing it the weld simply lays on the top. Secondly the area to be welded should have been hit with a grinder to bring shinney metal. So they are welding over dirt and dirt will be in the weld. To sum up a very poor job but its back in one piece
Relieves stresses and stress risers in the material. That 'repair' creates tremendous stress in the metals. With what they have at hand they can't begin to remove them all. Any little things help.
78yr old American mining mechanic. I so admire these mechanics. Great job
I love watching these guys there is no it can't be fixed.

Looks like a good solid repair to me. Good weld prep and excellent use of scrap plate steel. Good job.
He DID create a V to weld the 2 plates together with several passes to fill the gap. Quite impressed. But that frame had so many patches and cracks!
The guy with the beard has amazing freehand skills with a torch!
For sure I couldn't do it that long and that straight. I would have definitely used a magnetic guide.
Maybe he watches ICWeld
Excellent welding job
Impressive work
i love it when alvin and the Chipmunks are fixing stuff.
Necessity is the mother of invention
Good job
20 years pushing dirt in Australia 🇦🇺 never seen a broken frame on a cat that destroyed
We as Americans can learn a lot from these men….

Good work with limited resources, but please my friend wear eye protection and be safe
I would have beveled the edges so the weld would be deeper. But, pretty good job otherwise.
great work !
A for effort Respect!!! 👍👍👍
I gotta get me some of those "safety squints" that the guy using the torch wears to keep hot metal from melting his eyeballs!!

Does anything in that part of the world not get broken in ways they never should?
Wao what a repair!....
It’s definitely not a disposable society......I’d hate to see the stuff they actually throw away.
They throw out just 💩 crap 💩 maybe they just charge for it for fertiliser??
China buys it and melts it down and sells it to us in America..
Chinesium POS
looks good!
it's fun for all and serves a good purpose
Love those steel toed sandals 😅

For a country with limited equipment and repair I tip that for this lot will on this period here in canada good chance is scrap.
I’ve seen tractors in better shape get sold for scrap because they were worn out.
Some people still pride themselves in being able to actually fix stuff.
@@timgreen4137 its not safe or economical to do this in western countries, its not lack of skill.
@@snowflakemelter1172 Still, these people have great skills.
@@timgreen4137 they dont, it's basic work and they don't even do it properly.
Just put some black paint on it it will be fine than plant a tree
Everything was great until he get that hot slag between his toes 😂
Goodness,, osha and all the other safety, job health, from around the world would have a field day with these guys
Класс 👍👍

Hand signals 😂 he was doing it himself 😂
Looks like an old Earth Movers repair.
I love the complete lack of safety 💪💪💪
yet, that old guy survived with all his digits intact.
Heath from Red Poppy Ranch should watch this.
❤❤❤😮
All that smoke! No mask! 😮
I have never seen a frame failure like that, in that area on any kind of dozer. I kept wondering how it happened.
It really looks like a battery was above there and it cracked, letting the acid drip onto that beam for ages. No never saw one being pulled out. Nothing else shreds steel like that. It sure wasn’t oil leaks, that protects steel. At least until water gets under it. Then it rusts as fast as ever. Sure would have been easier to cut at an angle the first time.
What are these guys salary per day?
He need 1000 Welding Sticks.... 😂

Those new Pakistani drugs sure make them talk funny.....
I will trade you a goat and a blind camel if you fix my dozer
You don't even have two brain cells much less a goat . . .
@@TRPGpilot 🖕🏿
It will last about 10 miles, if that.
The big guy in that blue skirt is 3 times the waist than his employees.
Gouging rods, hav,nt seen them from the 80,s. Still coughing up black shit.
NO BEVEL TOP TOP SIDE
sure owner paid cheaper lol
300lbs of arc welding rods later…….😁
I couldn’t believe they actually used an air arc gouger. That’s kinda high tech for them. Thought he was just going to use the oxy torch👍😄
prutsers !
Piss poor welding safety. No V to fill. It will break again very soon.
LOOK near the end, the frame, not the patch, was beveled with the torch or a gouging/cutting rod all around to a 45 for full penetration. I had to look twice.
ZOONY....

You didn't watch very well, granted they skipped a lot of important cutting, the camera/editing doesn't know what you know, but the welder does.
That crap will be snapped in a week
Wrong!
What good does the final grinding do ??????????????????
Makes it look pretty.
Relieves stresses and stress risers in the material. That 'repair' creates tremendous stress in the metals. With what they have at hand they can't begin to remove them all. Any little things help.
Covers up garbage welding.
Health and safety at its best 👌
Looks good after grinding, depth of weld? ZERO.
Just sayin!!!
look again!
Why do they talk so fast all the time?
better get her all fixed up so she can go on living an agonizing life
Why do they sound like jawas
