1 If that pin is bottomed out in the bore, when you weld it it will expand and crack the root weld as fast as you put it in. 2 Oiling the pin contaminates the weld causing porosity. 3 Undercut and gouges left after grinding guarantee a failure. This shaft is sure to break again the first time the driver puts a heavy load on it or shifts hard. This should be considered a temporary field repair that is good enough to get an empty truck back to the shop for a new axle. I am a retired welder and have never seen a welded axle last for very long. We welded a few in Alaska just to get the rig home or out of the bush and into the shop.

Definitely one of the cleanest shops we've seen. The crazy thing is, it cost NOTHING to pick up after yourself. Thums Up just for his work area being neat and organized!

Вот че поражает , что лепят говно , оно ломается , потом лпять лепят заново . И так бесконечно кто в теме тот поймет , а дуракам обьяснять только время тратить

The comments are always painful in these videos. Everyone saying it’s crap. I tend to think if the repairs were no good they wouldn’t waste their time. Their work ethic puts most of us here in the states to shame as well.

Have these people never heard of heat treatment. Welding changes the chemical makeup of what's called the heat effected zone - HAZ. It drives out carbon and makes it brittle. It also leaves behind residual stress that is tearing it apart. And then to subjecting it to those roads and abuse it won't work. At least try blasting it with a big blow torch, get it cherry red then quench it. This relieves the stress, spreads out some of the carbon, allows the crystals to grow. Look up heat treatment.

welding do metal hard. it will break again. you have to preheat metal to 300-400 degrees, weld and then cover with sand to let it cool slowly..dont use oil or grease in the hole

You would find the original factory axles to be quite unbreakable if you would stop overloading the truck in the first place!

Why would he cut the used one just use that instead 😂

that axle will fail where the cracks were left in....looks like tge original axle was repaired the same way and it failed......there is no guarantee on a repair like that......this channel is just headline clickbait

купите уже ему второй резец, и сверло ещё одно, эта индийская буратина каждый раз деталь просаживает, дорабатывая напильником изделие для музея ненужных вещей каждый раз пополняет этот мастер, мастер - коричневые руки

Nice boat anchor. Or it's a pedestal for flower vases?

The Pontiac axles in my race car were narrowed 45 years ago in the same way then a collar welded over the weld… We set numerous Bonneville speed record with those axles….

why cut other axle and fix the broken one. i am little confused. but i have 10000% respect to the skill hardwork and dedication and reuse nature of these men. hats off.

It would have been interesting to see some dial-indicators to see the distortion due to heat.

Instead of giving him a used one...he cuts the used one in half and welds it to the old one? Avg IQ of 80 and it shows!

😂 funniest thing I have seen in a long while! Good luck with that.

Шок от "ремонта" и ещё раз шок если это будет уних работать ☻☻

" the ever breaking axle" is the perfect name

Охринеть, новый токарный станок.

Excellent work with good finishing

Ничего не понял, зачем он это дрын пилил и сваривал, если у него такой же только ржавый был? Не проще было старый очистить и поставить?

Here's a thought STOP Overloading😮

Should have built up the weld and not ground it off to make up for the weaker heat affected zone. If that is overloaded again it will break at the weld.

Guaranteed to break again immediately! 😂

A waste of a good welding rod, they’ve ignored every rule in the book including the first one “Stop overloading the vehicles”

Well done guys great it was repaired like the video says these guys are good what they do when done properly they work with what they've got & still make it work 💯👍🏻

The forces involved in shearing that half-shaft were enormous! They expect a ridiculous weld to hold...I think not.

Life time warranty. ... M really impressed

The daily work load on these guys would be felt so much less if they just had the equipment off the damn dirt and on benches. What is it so many many of these shops have to work squatting down instead of standing upright? It’s fricking time consuming and labor wasting.

I like the way the trucks are painted in rainbow colors and that the employees are allowed to wear dresses.🏳‍🌈

Надо ишо скочом заматат сверху

Excelente trabajo 👍

I see some cracks 🧐🧐

I wonder: Is there room in the housing for a tube to be slid over the axle and also welded to the axle? It would be one more layer of strength.

Is it trust able? Feel poor working at fuly force applying on it.

Soon repaired again, never ending history.

We’re are the camels, elephants, cows .

In 2002 the flange was broken, but it was not repaired in this way, rather,this part was welded to the other part,and on part of the flange was replaced, only it was repaired and less than 250 meters it broke because it became short,and cost one dollar,and the car savmen

You have a lot of nice equipment in your shop!

Good work 👍

¡Esto es arte en estado puro! Gran trabajo. Un saludo .Gracias.

First thing why Overloading...? Condition of Roads may be Bad... Speed of Vehicle is more than capability. Repair method is great Should Use New Material, for New Axle a Proper Carbon Steel, Forged and then Machined, also Axle Dia may be locally increased during repairing if possible. Thanks for the Video.

Glad i seen this. I needed a good laugh. Lmao!!!!

I just repaired one same way works great

Ever breaking. Yep. Part 13 next week.

A friction fit with the pin would help and whats with the oil near where youre going to weld 🤷‍♂️ id use it for getting back to the garage but thats about all it would manage good effort tho.

Amazing...the best

This man has once again shown that he is a master craftsman and the work he does is first rate. Thanks for sharing. Update to my previous comment, I think this man made the best possible repair he could given his current options. Of course, replacing the axel was the ideal response but this repair should work well in the meantime. Thanks for your comments responses, nice to see people actually reading these answers. Paul in Texas. 👍👍👍

As good as new! Third world quality new.

Metal grain and metal fatigue go out the window once we break out the metal lathe and arc welder.

Did you have to warranty it yet ?

I started out in a machine shop in 1982 the owner was 72 everything was heavy dry cuts on a 1946 South bend lathe with braze ons to him braze ons were space age

anyone notice that his tape measure is in inches?

The truck already repaired and on the road this is a spare that they have on hand to tied them over if it should happen again

Another SAFETY SANDALS PRODUCTION

No era más fácil dejar el caño entero del anterior y solo soldar el disco🥴

Coat hanger runout gauge is back!

в таком люнете я бы деталь свиным салом помазал, но им наверно коран не позволяет.

Hello people? i have watched this guy fix anything and everything! In my life time i have seen a lot of people that was good! But this man is great in everything he does!!!

I like the savety sandals.

These men are master journey men welders and machine operators There welding is top notch

You're watching job security at it's finest and guarantee of a repeat customer, gents!

It just shakes a bit but that is fine. Everything is fine

A bad repair is better than no repair.

Супер ! Токари они классные ! Super !

Super sir 👍

If the axle is "ever breaking" how can you say it has been repaired? Is the next clip called "Repairing the non ever breaking axle with a method of repairing an axle that never breaks" at what point does this equal a false economy?

Please give them some Carbide bits for that lathe

How about exchange another used one..

I wouldn't be happy with that weld. I would have welded it again and reground as many times as it took to leave no sign of the weld

You guys will always have work. Because they overload every truck

Which wellding rod he used ..super c2

Their effort is appreciated but will this repair be survive.

Super świetnie jest to odrestaurowane pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

And what will happen if the truck is not painted like a circus cart. Can he go?

that welding rod must be some awesome stuff to be stronger that a FORGED axle. The crap they do just wont work.

Do you not have access to a Band Saw??

No duran mucho, todo depende de cuánto lo uses, pero si le pones un poco de carga se vuelve a cortar, lo mejor es arreglar temporalmente si no tienes uno nuevo y después buscar uno nuevo por que tarde o temprano se vuelve a romper

This is Soooo bad--- just reduce structural integrity even more by drilling a 1/2" hole in the middle-- then throw a bit of oil in---

Looking for the 'give them encouragement' posters here who universally don't have a clue. Praising bad work is counter productive,

Wow, here's a guy who lubricates his lathe and uses cutting oil! But then he spoils it all by failing to use a centre drill and using an angle grinder to spew grinding dust all over his uncovered and just-lubricated lathe ways.

Looks like he grabbed a clean table cloth to hang on the wall

nic🎉

O artista mexe no seu caminhão.

So what's the "new technique"? That's a very standard procedure. New to the shop, or the person doing the repair perhaps?

when it breaks, he'll give you a "brand-new" axle?

عمل جيد ورهيب

Parabéns parabéns ficou muito top

Nice❤

They cut that weight too much they needed cut that half the thickness of the axle

OK job

And remember to wear your safety open toed sandals when working with steel

عندي فكره افضل مليون مره كان لابد من عمل سن داخلي وتربط به ثم يتم التلحيم لكن هكذا هي ضعيفة

E 7018?

Yeah work shop kaha pa hy pakistan main 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

Why is it always *this* dirty? What kind of people are they? BTW: good job.

Another taillight warranty

A big weave weld like that is no good.. imparts to much heat to any given spot on the circumferential weldment.. should be stringers beads like a like a pioe weld.. and a smaller rod ,like 3/32 .. to cut down on slag inclusion,..
