Great to see you again, Ethan. I know this has been a hard year, so special thanks for still thinking of us who learn so much from watching your work.

You are not only mechanically talented, you are also very talented with video production! Love watching you work. God Bless!

Doing exact same job on d6n right, killed it on the video, top notch old school work from both of you gentleman, keep it up!

Nice! Was waiting for another video. Thank you for taking us along on the repair. Was really cool seeing it come together, and that service truck of yours is getting it DONE! Awesome stuff here.

I have never worked around heavy equipment. Great to see how such things are done and equally great to know there are people that have that ability to accomplish such things. Not an easy job and it takes special abilities to make it work. Thumbs Up for sure...

Used that stick welder a few times, have you now! Really nice looking welds! Always great to see you've posted something, until next time. Thanks for the video.

It's great to see a couple of new videos from you. I always enjoy watching you work. I always learn something too.

I have learned the hard way ...Measure a half dozen times when you tack weld and another half dozen times when welding

Love it when you break out that measuring stick!! Classic work indeed

Glad to see you back.Great video,a job like that take a lot of patients.

Thanks for taking the time to make a very interesting repair. Jack In Missouri

glad to see you start uploading more again

This channel is awesome. Its educational and its actual real world work. Not like most wrld vids where it's in a class of some sort. Good job dude. Keep uploading

You are very talented with torch and welding.

Great video, glad to see your back

Cool man! I finally got to see you use your crane.

Nice job, what a peaceful day! Thanks for sharing, God bless

Cool project - thanks for sharing.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Need lot of patience with this kind of work. Much appreciated you and your buddy mobile plant mechanic.fitter

I replaced the pin and bushings in a D5n one time and it was one solid pin from top to bottom. Was a little more work to get the old pin out and the new one in

Nice job and an interesting subject.

Welcome back to classic work ;)

I’m a a new viewer and subscribed, thanks for a great video!!!!

11:38 Butterfly on your back :O

First time I have ever seen anyone demonstrate a "butterfly weld".

Do a tour of your new welding rig

Great job and video, did it work ?👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I want one of those bearing press deals

Nice!!!!!!!

wonderful video...love it, have you watched CEE Australia?..With Kevin, Kaaren and the Safety Director..Cheers, Paul in Florida

yup i did, thanks

хорошая работа

I have a d6m where the back half of the boss broke off. Do you have a part number for that boss

Me:”five more taps like that should do it” *25 taps later* Me:”huh”

What rod and settings did you use? Real nice work!

What rod were you running? So you crank up oxy pressure to get better blow out when cutting or gouging thicker material like that?

that butterfly tho

What rod did you use and what amperage

Great job sir. Can u please tell what type of welding electrodes you used

I do field repairs also. Nice rig. What welder did you put on it? I wint with the Miller Trailblazer 325 efi on the one I have now. Last one as I'm retiring next year after 50 years!

I'm currently trying to get the exact same bearing replaced on my d6n. I got the top two sections of the pin out. But I'm not seeming to be able to get the bottom section of the pin out from that bushing that you welded the the new ring in for it's seized on the old ball. Do you have any suggestions? I heated the ball and cut it most of the way through but it still refuses to push out the top! Does that big pin come out the top or do I have to cut the keeper off the bottom and drive it out of the bottom? Thank you so much for your input!

Get a carbon arc set up way better than a torch trust me you can get very surgical with those

Man that's a nice rig you got. How long did it take you to work up to that?

butterfly @ 11:40

I wonder how out of round that machined bore is after all that welding on one hemisphere? be interesting to know how the Cat engineers accounted for that.

What rod are you using?

Nice custom tailor repair on your pants.. Angle grinder sparks?

Nothing like burning multi-pass 7018

👍

What size and type of electrode do you use ? 8:50

why no pre heat

Wonder if that fella has ever knocked a chunk out of that driver pin? We get inspected by Mine Safety, and they raise three different kinds of Cain if the ends of any of our bull pins are mushroomed. It only takes one guy getting hurt for them to go on a national crusade about these things, so you may go a lifetime without it ever happening to you. Still though, I wouldn't want to be the guy who takes a swing at a driver pin and has a piece of it come back at me....

that got to be pre heat right

Nice work . What’s the trash can used for ?

Did not look like the grease inlet on the new bearing was in line with the greaser hole in the new part you welded on.

Where did you get the metal ring? Cat can only sell me the entire section with the ring already connected to replace. All we need is the ring

how do u get nice wleds when welding upside down and vertical, my welds just drip and splatter. doing butt welds right side down are easy for me but not the other.

that is where wire feed would be grate

Bro get a suit case with some dual shield fluxcore you would of been done way quicker and it looks a lot better as well and same properties as 7018

When you started, I thought "why doesn't he stand it up with the crane and weld it flat?" Then a second later, you did. Lol 😂

some never sieze on those pins would be nice

when you started to weld you started from the bottom of the arch 1. I was told that you weld from top to bottom.(Any tips?) 2. That is one nice umbrella. (I need to get one like that!) Love your channel I wish I could follow you around for 6 months just to pick up tricks.

Why you didn't heat the surface before welding?

Where are you located and what is your rate for this repair

Where did you get that boss you welded in

Whats the name of the mobile bearing press? Great tool

How much it cost that work!?

Like your videos, but Ads are making it almost unwatchable.

this the hillbilly show lmfao so funny Ethan welders lol NOT

You need to learn how to cut steel. Way too much SLAG! Bubbling, spitting, pock marks. Get some 0.75 " stock & practice. Use metric, it is easier to use. It may be a large machine, but precise measurements are very important! HEAVIER, longer welding gloves. Not "bail throwing" gloves...SAFETY FIRST, precision SECOND! Bigger rods, higher amps = better penetration.
