I don't know hot it got bent, but it's pretty common. This worked out great, and i haven't had any problems yet.

Great video and nice fix. I have a Massey Ferguson with the EXACT same problem . I will be using your fix to rectify the problem. Thanks so much for posting this you probably saved me a fortune from having to bring it to the dealer to troubleshoot. I also have not paint cracks etc.. Nice Vid!!!!

Nice job. Push, pull, stitch, which ever works for you. I always figured I was the one who had to do it, I'll do it anyway I want.

I had the exact same problem on my NH T3 and used your technique to fix it today. Came out great although my weld looked like crap because my relay was shot on my Hobart and had to weld with 110. After grinding it looks good as new. The only difference is I used a chop box with a metal cutting blade to keep the cut perfectly squared and I lined up the QA plates by lowering them on my level concrete garage floor. Thanks for posting your video, it saved me a lot of money in dealer repair!

That's outstanding. I'm glad this video helped. Now you can enjoy the loader again! I've welded quite a bit with 110v, if prepped right you can make a solid weld.

Thanks Denny! I just noticed the same thing on mine last night and couldn't figure out what happened. After watching your video I now know this is exactly the same case as mine. Will be doing a repair video soon myself. Thanks for posting. Liked and subbed. Take care!

Turned out really good you could always take and add a spike on the top in the center to help keep the bales from rolling off just a idea another idea you could put a big loop on it for using a chain to help move stuff. Keep up the great videos

Thanks Kenny, I thought about that too. After using it the way it is, I think I might play around with the spear configuration. The one thing I like about the way it's setup now, is I can pick up pallets. Have a good one man!

Looks like another fine fix. On camera, you can't really even see where you did the cut & weld. It's amazing sometimes how people can bend something & not even realize it or maybe they did. Seems like we all end up using the loader tractor more like a bulldozer sometimes, then wonder how'd that get bent. LOL Stay safe.

Thanks man, it turned out alright. You're right on the money about how we treat loaders, I'm guilty of doing the same thing! Lol

I wonder how the previous owner bent it that way. Nice work Denny!

@DennysCountryLife 5 жыл бұрын

Probably picking up too much weight on the one side. This loader can lift 2500lbs at full height at 24". I could see that bending that tube.

@lonniechartrand Жыл бұрын

Question for the experts. I need to do the same, but was told that I should NOT weld with the SSQA still on the tractor as there is a possibility of damaging the electronics on the tractor through arcing. Is this true?

Did you try mounting the forks before welding to make sure everything was in line with the attachment?

@DennysCountryLife 4 жыл бұрын

I didn't. I used straight edges to make sure they were true to eachother. They line up perfect with all my attachments!

@mapleridgefarms6075 5 жыл бұрын

I like to pull the mig but I'd say the argument for pushing mostly pertains to the lighter duty 120v machines and pushing might get better penetration. I was a mostly stick and tig welder though so pulling was more natural....whatever works for you. I trade school they would show you a specific technique but in the end they would tell you it takes practice and eventually you have to do what works for you.

@DennysCountryLife 5 жыл бұрын

That all makes sense, thanks! I've heard that you can get better penetration if you push, but I've heard that the difference is marginal. I wish I'd have gone to school for it, there's a lot that I don't know. Thanks again!

@fredhinck8847 3 жыл бұрын

Why didn't you clamp the ssqa plate on to align then weld ?

@howardyounger5456 5 жыл бұрын

I believe that there is differences between the push and pull but it's whatever you need to do with it I think if you push it's the angle that you go to the metal you can get more more of a root inside if your straighter into it when you're pulling your going to be more on top of the metal it don't make a lot of difference I don't believe pulling is easier to weld it's more of a Down hand motion it's more of a natural motion that your body is used to that's pretty nice little tractor you got Danny hope it works good for you talk to you later

@DennysCountryLife 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Howard, I appreciate your thoughts bud! I always look forward to your input when it comes to fabricating. When I push it's usually for vertical welding or low visibility area, but I should practice with it a bit more so it feels more natural. have a good one!

Good job on the repair, you did fine pulling the weld. Im still using a flux core welder so I have to drag. Sorry I missed you live feed, what happened to the video? I tried to go back and watch it but it was deleted. Hope things are well, Rick

I couldnt tell by video if when you cut bar in half that you had to manipulate ther qucik attach plates back to their correct spot,,i have same exact issue you had and am about to cut the pipe ang from there..great video..

@DennysCountryLife Жыл бұрын

I had to manipulate one side to make it match. I cant remember if I used a large rubber mallet or a crowbar. You'll essentially be compressing or extending a cylinder on one side, until they line up. Best of luck!
