Now that's how you do a repair, no compromises of work quality and of the highest standards. Excellent work ethic and craftsmanship.... I am really impressed.. Keep it up!

This welder is a genius. Often I don’t know why he is doing certain things internally but it’s amazing.

Really good to see a guy doing work like this where he KNOWS what he's doing unlike some of the people on here doing Backhoe Repairs that will fail on the first day back at work (if they ever managed to get the pins into the misaligned holes that is) ........ Truly good to watch, great applause.

I have just realized, this being a one man operation, it is the most impressive video I have seen for ages!

This guy has got the gift. Hats off for a great video. I learned a lot.

An amazing guy, virtually one man gang, whomever he works for should pay him well to keep his services...and a very nice video -kudos all around.

Nice to see there are still true craftsman left in this world, great work 👌🏼

Sir you are one hell of a fabricator. I have seen welders and I have seen fabricators and you are in the latter class. You could ply your trade anywhere in the world with those skills. Don't think they will break it again. Got good taste in music too......... Great job!!!!

I haven't seen craftsmanship like that since my Grandfather who was born in 1900, Great job, still like the tune also.

I never grow tired watching repair projects that involve both a powerplasma cutter and a powerarc welder.

Hope this guy has an apprentice now. Can't let those skills die out.

This was the best video ever. Thank you sir for taking your time to show your hard work. Thanks for sharing and please keep the videos coming.

Top class welding repair , I would be very happy to be half as good as this guy....👍👍👍

Impressive piece of work and it looks like it was accomplished by one man.

I am just stunned by this guys knowledge of the art of welding and fabrication. I watched all three parts. Precision cuts on what has to be very thick steel (don't know if it's metric or US standard but it WAS thick shit!), knowledge of stress relieving prior to MIG work....and on and on. Apparently only one man! Sheesh. I hope he got a crap ton of $$$ (or equivalent to do all this work!)

A total craftsman there. Amazing work and looks great.

jabond77 DAMN GOOD WORK!! KUDOS FROM THE USA. I have seen and Done good work in the past, And I must say you are a top level Welder/ Engineer. YOU Built that arm back better than a new part. Your skills are World Class. You deserve a Plasma Cam. (CNC Plasma table.) Exellent FABRICATION VIDEO SIR.

This is what art looks like

Wow. What 1 skilled Craftsman can do. Well done.

Excellent travail de réparation, d'ingéniosité et de patience !! Et à moindre coût, je suppose. Bravo !

I think it's safe to say the hell will freeze over and satan will be skating to work before that breaks again good work friend the supposed professionals could learn alot from you as I have and also great taste in music love from the uk🇬🇧

Anybody else feel like a shlub after watchin this FAB and REPAIR GOD.. Frack, I just learned soooooo much from watchin this vid. Thank you sir(bows) 👍👍👍

I enjoy seeing great work done. thanks.

You got to love that homemade wrench, and the homemade rotisserie that was just awesome.

Fantastic job better than new no corners cut excellent job.

that was an amazing video series. excellent quality work sir.

Allways a pleasure to work alone that's all I do no one to distract you great job friend

This is what i call perfection at its best ! Good job bro !!

I think it would move your channel to a whole new level

What an AWESOME repair!! I could do that work all day long for the rest of my life, I love this shit, the bigger the better!! As always, I learned something from YT, thank you!!

Awesome work! Looks like it came from the factory!

Brilliant video mate . Very good job . Very nice to see .. quite inspiring .. thanks for doing a great video ... You have a great talent ....

très bien fait. un vrai professionnel. merci pour la vidéo et l info.

Whoever owns this machine needs a complete copy of this build. I know that when looking to buy used equipment and I see welding on the boom or stick I automatically get a leery feeling because oftentimes it was burnt together by uncle Billy- Bob with his Lincoln tombstone and a box of 6010 that has been open since Nixon was in office. However, watching this would dispel any of my suspicions of inferior work.

Dam heavy and hard job , you are very good man !

good work man, much respect

Excellent work master craftsmanship

Yes, Obi-Wan Kenobi thank you for sharing your knowledge. This the second time that I watched this clip.

This guy is a fabricating beast!

GRANDE, un lavoro strepitoso.

Nice Videoand very good taste in Music. Sabaton, Motörhead.....

WOW !!! Good job !!!

Become at this level, it's Art.

Du är jäkligt grym på det du gör !

Thank you for this video.

Great Job there!

Nice job lads.

You sir, are a BEAST.

Great work

Pun e shkelqyshme. Telumshin durt tek ne ne Kosov bahen kto pun por jo nket m'nyr kaq profesionale.👍

very informative video. watching from philippines.

I’m hoping after watching this video you upgraded your welding hood to one you don’t have to hold possibly? Awesome repair mark of a true professional. Good to see there are more of us out there!

Great video loved it

I've watched a few welding and repair videos, and I've never seen anyone take the time to get to the backs of their welds as fully as you have. I would usually not say that a repair is as good as the original part, but yours very well might be better. I especially like the way you took the lubrication connector to the middle bushing (??), and re-made a part with some relief; better than the factory.

good job ! great videos!!!

Really nice work.

Great Repair Job....

great effort. thx 4 the video

Snyggt jobbat!

Great work sir

Very nice job done.

Super profi práce!!

So one person can make an excavator that much. From now I don't need any assistance, I can do it too.

Very impressive!

Nice..well done. A real pro.

Хорошая работа, мастер!

Awesome fabricating my friend, obviously not your first Rodeo!

Nice job 👍

Good job dude

Boom cracks are mostly from side loading twisting boom causes torsional cracks . Voids CAT warranty. No swing backfilling allowed. Only straight pull push. Nice work. Usually I see old boiler plate welded crooked on boom. Yours looks factory. Shalom

The way kobelco should have made in from factory Companies selling garbage

Great job

مشاء الله .بالتوفيق.

nice job !

Man that was lot of work,but great job.

Great work! 👍👍👍 Hello from Russia!

Good job

good job bravo

Looks good I dont think no ones called the welding police yet.

Very good artiste

I wish I could do something like that.

That repair is at least twice as strong as factory original!!

Que trabalho bonito top de mais .é um trabalho de caticuria lindo de mais parabéns q jesus abénçoe semore

Fachowa robota.

I‘m guessing the fancy parabolic ends aren’t just for looks? More strength due to a much longer weld? Do I hear Sabaton?

wondering what kind of wire welding you use, for the thickness of material i would think its a pretty high amperage and duty machine. Mind sharing with a fellow welding and repair men?

先生！勉強になりました！

Parabéns!

Awesome work and really cool video. Do you think the extra weight and stress combined with moving the bucket further out by adding the tilt coupler had any effect?

Maybe you can put one of them automatic lenses on your camera as soon as Arc is struck they'll be able to see it will be able to see that would be too cool

Good video sar

Just heard Bloomberg statement about how the only people that use analytical and problem solving skills these days are in the tech industry.....Would like too see one of those computer tech guys do something like this!!l...LoL

Great video and all, but how many times have you burned your eyes!? Lol holy shit man....props I guess for doing it how you do it and that’s just fine.
