CB, I think under the conditions you dealt with on this repair, there is probably not a better repair that could be done! That metal strip around the edge, was a stroke of genius, IMO. One reason I have such appreciation for your videos, is that you take the time to explain your process, and the rationale behind doing it the way you are. I much appreciated the info you gave on the 7024 and 7014 rods, and why they are high deposition. In my year of welding school, they just focused on 6010 and 7018, like that was pretty much all you would ever need. I’ve heard some good things about Hobart Fabshield 21-B wire, better elasticity, and about 90,000 psi, if I recall correctly. I have used NR-211 from Lincoln, and it runs good, but I think I’m gonna have to spring for a spool of that 21-B. I chuckled when you mentioned the Trailblazer and the LN-25 wire feeder playing nicely together. I’m considering a Miller 8VS suitcase to hook up to my Bobcat 260efi, even though I don’t have Arc Reach capability. I could use my MM-215 or my PW MIG-285, but in rainy conditions like you were in, would prefer to keep my circuit boards dry. Superb video and repair….bravo!!!
If you plan to run your flux core in diameter .045 or smaller then you may consider using an ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200. I've done two review videos on those...affordable multiprocess machine that is actually smaller and lighter than a suitcase feeder and alot more versatile....keep in mind though if you think you'll want to run big flux core like .068" or 5/64" then you'll hafta get a suitcase feeder...the ARCCAPTAIN doesn't have the drive rolls or gun for huge wire. But an ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200 with a 10# spool of .045" Fabshield 21B is a handy little feeder/welder.
I got to give it to you. One of the better welding channels on TH-cam where you explain your plan of attack and take is through the process. Hope you can get us some arc shots in the future.
I love how you did that repair over and beyond just fixing the crack in the plate. Adding the bar stock was extra strong idea to prevent a tear from starting again. I like over & beyond repairs, I also like to fix things way more than needed to prevent further breakage. Especially on these logging machines that get aot of hard use like this. Nice job CB! 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔌⚡⚠️🗜️
Try blowing compressed air through the liner tube after you remove the contact tip. The liner gets clogged with metal dust from the fluxcore wire. G. Luck !!!
I really enjoy watching your videos, I’ve learned several things that I’ve put to use in my mobile welding business. Almost looks like there was another small crack that opened up on the bottom inside.
Nice attitude brother i salute you Been bleesed with some natives in the Sierra nevadas very clean little guys The toarch selection is key And the flux commentary priceless true gem you are Appreciate your efforts
Yeah brother! I look forward to your videos. I swear your welds are a work of art. It was cool how you could see the heat expanding the metal and moving the bar when you were heating it up. I've learned to never look at the weather around here, or I would never work. I swear it just says 50% chance every day and the weather people just sit around taking bets. Our weather report is just looking up to see how dark the clouds are and "whether" or not I should start moving my stuff closer to the truck.😂 I've got a Weldanpower 250 G9 Pro and I'm looking for a decent LN25 to run with it. I've been studying about flux core a lot lately and I think it will work really well for the repairs I'm doing. It is funny though, every time someone sees me using one welder, they seem to forget that I have other welders and they think I'm going to use that welder for everything. 🤘🏻😆👍🏻
If the flux core you wanna run is .045 or smaller you could consider getting an ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200 instead of an LN-25...The ARCCAPTAIN would replace many of the machines you have and is extremely versatile...the only advantage to an LN-25 to do flux core is if you want to run the huge wire like .068" or 5/64". Last time I looked you could get an ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200 for $359. I did 2 review videos on it...just used it to solid wire MIG a Bronco frame yesterday...great machine for the money...use the link in my description to ARCCAPTAIN site so they know I sent ya
I've ran alot of dual shield and I do like it for many applications but I don't use it much anymore...almost never for field work....the gas cup on the gun irritates me in cramped positions and tight spaces and I really don't mind stick welding on most things just to keep it simple
pipliners cloud umbrellas are a life saver for rain or sun. I just did the same repair on the JD version of that about two days ago they aren't built very heavy for they size logs we have on the West Coast so they break allot. I used Hobart 21b flux core it works great for those tight spots. I've had to remove the top plate on those outrigger frames and remove the outrigger cylinders before to get them fixed properly when they brake up by the pins in the center. those ouside ones fail very regularly i normally cut those back about a foot or so and replace that thin plate with 3/4 and weld it back up and they last for a long time that way.
I used to run Hobart flux core wire exclusively when I was just starting out. I used to really love flux core. Now I’ve been running Lincoln 211 because of moving and different suppliers and whatnot and I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been doing way more solid wire and stick welding but I seem to not really like flux core now. On a side note everytime I see one of them LN25’s they’re always covered in all sorts of grime and always seem to have feeding issues. I had one guy come out and help me with some stairs one time he had just picked up a new to him LN25 at an auction. By the time he had it feeding correctly to be able to weld one stair tread he coulda had the whole staircase welded up with some 6011/6010 if he woulda just ditched the feeder the first couple minutes of it not feeding right.
I found it interesting to watch when you were heating that steel for the edge how much it moved from the heat, could you show that one day, does it move more if the steel is super cold like that day or does it all move the same depending on the size your using . Cheers nice job yet again, your a good man,
It expands when you heat it..so if you heat one side of a piece when that side expands more than the other side then the metal will curve as a result of that expansion
Probably should have...not a bad idea Masking it off could protect it from accidental arc burn from the welder too. I didn't damage it but there was risk there...I was definitely being very careful to not touch it with the welding rod
Proper amps, rod angle, travel speed, material prep, and manipulation. There is alot of slag there and it takes practice to be able to see what is slag and what is weld puddle....usually slag inclusion is a result of the slag overtaking the weld puddle just before it cools enough to solidify...you gotta operate in a manner that pushes that slag away & behind the weld puddle You can practice this by running straight beads towards yourself on a plate that is angled slightly so that you can see the slag running away from you...then move the plate to completely flat and run a few beads...then angle the plate towards you so it is slightly downhill welding and watch how the slag tries to run into your puddle as you travel...when you see and understand what is molten steel and what is slag then you can start to manipulate your stinger to combat the slag....like I said changes in amps, rod angle, rod manipulation, and travel speed will all make a difference. Stay with it and good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Boy it never fails you get back in the remote jobs and solid daily driving machines will give you a fit. That’s why we have plan B-Z and beyond lol. it may not be quick or pretty but it’s gonna get done be sure of that.
Super repair thats much stronger than original. The overall factory metal selection looks flimsy for the loads imposed. Did you feel like the hydraulic ram was high enough to be out of harms way? We appreciate the explanation of how and why you choose a certain rod or process, technique ect. You have a great channel you should have 100k + subs.
Good repair, would of thought you would have used a needle scaler for some stress relief. What have done with the mig guns is to convert them to Bernard center tips with a self shielded conversion kit. A DS-1 diffuser and a NS-FLX , and for the Lincoln gun a adapter to connect the Bernard parts. Made the adapter from a 1/4" npt barbed brass 5/16 fitting threaded to fit the lincoln gun. The Profax catalog has the dimensions of nearly all mig guns, for lincoln it is 3/8 - 24 thread, if i remember right.
Good work Brother. I know it took a while to get all of those muddy tools and leads cleaned up. Please tell me that Email address again. I need some shirts. Be blessed and be safe! Thomas, Mississippi!
That only happens on certain devices and I don't know why...it doesn't do that when I watch it on anything of mine...I've heard that complaint for years and dunno what to do about it

Fantastic job. What a great craftsman you are enjoy watching you work.
Glad to hear....thank you so much for watching and commenting 😉

They should be very happy with this repair. Adding the extra metal was a very good idea.

Great video man, I normally watch your videos twice or more times and each time pick up new tips from u. Thanks
That’s good to hear…I appreciate you commenting…helps keep me motivated to make the videos
Nice repair. That should hold. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
CB this was a great video, thanks. I learned a lot.
Thats good to hear...thanks for watching and commenting...I really appreciate you taking time to comment
Dude, your a true craftsman, that's some beauty work there
Thank you!

Thanks for the info
You are amazing! I like the way you think when sizing up the job for maximun strength and practical fixes. Keep it up!
Excellent repair! Looks stronger than factory-
Now thats a repair!

Thanks 👍
try dual shield 71A75 I use a ton of it now on that type of repairs and had really good luck with it holding.
I've ran alot of dual shield and I do like it for many applications but I don't use it much anymore...almost never for field work....the gas cup on the gun irritates me in cramped positions and tight spaces and I really don't mind stick welding on most things just to keep it simple
That wrapped section looks amazing. If they break that I suggest they get rid of the orangutan and hire a real operator 😂. Great job. Cheers
That's a lot of weld, nice fix

Flux core has its place...but any wire machine with feeding issues is a hassle
@@NBSWELDING yes. Also, Thank you for making these videos.
Esab core 8 innershield worth checking out
Thank you I'll definitely look it up
Great job. Fantastic fix
Another Awesome job..thanks for sharing..
Great work mate
Very nice, best work I've seen in a while.👍

It expands when you heat it..so if you heat one side of a piece when that side expands more than the other side then the metal will curve as a result of that expansion
Great job, but I was surprised you didn't wrap something around the cylinder shaft to protect it from splatter.
Probably should have...not a bad idea
Masking it off could protect it from accidental arc burn from the welder too.
I didn't damage it but there was risk there...I was definitely being very careful to not touch it with the welding rod
Very well done. I've welded for years. That's a solid "in the field" repair. What would you normally charge for that ?
$75 per hour from the time The Super Service Truck pulls out of the shop until the time it is back in
How do you avoid slag inclusions with 7014? Everytime I try to run it I always run into that issue
Proper amps, rod angle, travel speed, material prep, and manipulation.
There is alot of slag there and it takes practice to be able to see what is slag and what is weld puddle....usually slag inclusion is a result of the slag overtaking the weld puddle just before it cools enough to solidify...you gotta operate in a manner that pushes that slag away & behind the weld puddle
You can practice this by running straight beads towards yourself on a plate that is angled slightly so that you can see the slag running away from you...then move the plate to completely flat and run a few beads...then angle the plate towards you so it is slightly downhill welding and watch how the slag tries to run into your puddle as you travel...when you see and understand what is molten steel and what is slag then you can start to manipulate your stinger to combat the slag....like I said changes in amps, rod angle, rod manipulation, and travel speed will all make a difference.
Stay with it and good luck!

Hope they never need that down rigger removed. Pretty sure that pin is permanent now.
😁

That's right
Good show, how many hours did this job take?

Super repair thats much stronger than original. The overall factory metal selection looks flimsy for the loads imposed. Did you feel like the hydraulic ram was high enough to be out of harms way? We appreciate the explanation of how and why you choose a certain rod or process, technique ect. You have a great channel you should have 100k + subs.
I think the ram was in the best spot for what I was doing
lol wire is faster than stick 😂
Sometimes it is sometimes it's not
HNY2024 from TEXAS!
About as good a repair as anybody could do with the constraints you had. Working in bad weather will test you sometimes. Hope you gettin paid good.
Is there a reason you torch gouged that rather arc gouged it?
I don't have compressed air on my rig...and a carbon arc is a very dangerous thing to use that close to a hydraulic cylinder
Good repair, would of thought you would have used a needle scaler for some stress relief.
