It looks like you and I are at the same skill level for brazin junk back together! Haha

I love the new echoed audio effects! You should always talk in to a cement mixer!

I'm 60 and took a welding class. Time well spent. Learn something new every day to stay young.

just the entertainment I needed in the last hours of my weekend

The gears seemed to mesh just fine, cuz it was running quiet enough, so......Win !!!! Reminds me of a time I asked an old carpenter about some home repair projects I had, he said, "Do your best & caulk the rest!" 🤣🤣

Don't fix it until it works. I've learned that lesson the hard way too many times. Another awesome vid, man. Toocheap on a Sunday is kinda turning into a thing.

This dude is the best kept secret of youtube. I'm amazed he doesn't have 100K subs.

Another great video! That braze job looks down right professional compared to my first few brazing jobs. I haven't welded or brazed in over 40 years but am now retired and want to tackle some repair jobs that require "fixin".

This reminds me of the time we broke my mom's Gordon fishman lamp into of bunch pieces. we quickly learned how to put it back together.anyone can throw stuff away learning forever great job

Another good video Vinny!! A concrete mixer doesnt need to be pretty. Beats mixing it up in a wheelbarrow like I have to do. A mixer in that condition would be over a hundred bucks where I live..

Yep. Need at least one or two flux to give when brazing thick stuff. Also nothing better than opening the third or sixth beer and finding you put up a new video. Take it easy man.

I had no flux to give..... Classic

8:49 looked like Mike Tyson’s teeth 😂 Edit: I totally agree with your thoughts on trying to fix old equipment - too often, items are landfill when they might be repaired. That said, let’s see how your repair holds up after 12 bags of cement…

love the video you make keep em up :D

My old mixer beats your's by at least one #60 bag of concrete... Dried to drum Barn Fresh! Great video and attitude.

A good grinder makes a good welder.

Excellent content and delivery but when I fix my old junk, once repaired I have no more excuses not to use it or worse yet actually sell it!

9:45 People have strange ideas about what is worth repairing and what is not worth repairing. To me, the only things not worth repairing are things which I can buy a replacement 2nd hand for less money than it would cost to repair it in materials assuming I can do it within any reasonable time-frame (and an evening to do this I would find acceptable) To me, the real issue is trying to fix stuff to sell as used for a profit. This greatly changes the math. You have to buy it, fix it and still sell it at a high enough profit to make the time worthwhile. This is pretty difficult to do with anything at the consumer level (which granted, this is not something home depot would be selling to home-gamers). Everything is made so cheaply and with such low profit margins that it is near impossible to this with most consumer goods.

The center part could have had more oil and grease soaked into it, the cleanup might not have been enough, maybe it needed more fire

You don't really know its fixed until you have a couple hundred pounds of concrete bashing around inside. I tend to go with Epoxy to fix everything, every cast iron welding I've done has failed. In fact, I have a similiar cement mixer, and someone tried welding on a bearing support and it just broke right off.

I’m sure glad Peg sent me

Still better then breaking out the plastic card full of money that ain't yours!

A grinder and paint makes......you know the rest. Another good video . Trash to working

anything is better than doing nothing so true

good job sir may i ask if you know the hp and rpm of the mixers motor i have one missing the motor and that would be a great help and time saver again good job

Yooooo hellooooo out there Whose Got A Set Of 440 PISTONS and RINGS for 1973 CCW/KEC 440 ????? Can't find a set anywhere! HELP!!!!

This is the perfect case for fixing. You got it for free, so worst case scenario is you have to drive it back to the dump. best case scenario is you get a free cement mixer minus some time a few bucks in materials, plus. as you said, get a new skill.

If nothing else it taught you to quit f***king with things that work ! To fix means it’s not running or not working properly ! My brother in law purchased a Roto tiller ( working fine ) and just for giggles tore the engine apart but couldn’t get it back together now that’s an example of needing to be fixed ! Lmao. The tiller and his sorry ass ! I charged him $100 to FIX it ! Lol

Did you get that bitch cherry red ? I didn’t see how hot you got it or what flux you used

Wrong tip

no such thing as scrap metal...
